Slander, gentlemen, like a boa constrictor of
gigantic size, and immeasurable proportions,
wraps the coil of its unwiddly body about its
unfortunate victim, and heedless of the shrieks
of agony that come from the iinmist depths of
the victim’sjsbul, loud and reverberating as the
mighty thornier that rolls in the heavens, it
finally breaks its unlucky neck against the iron
wheel of public opinion, forcing him to desper.

The Impossible U vinau.
Calmly locking on ut the unseemly can (.ro
ve, »y no .v racing between the aeso.-t, and gath
ering from the current iijwruuu'o what man
expects from woman, wo fear there is nothing
m store but failure on the one side and dis
appointment on the other. In the first place,
the being that man describes as a helpmeet for
him is not to be found on earth —was not found
in Paradise, amid tlio innocence, freshness and
beauty of the first creation. In early ages of
the world the suns of God became enamored of
the daughters of men ; tlio reverse is now tlio
case—the sons of men are aspiring, in theory
at least, to the imgels of heaven. The impos
sible woman, that every man seeks for, and no
man ever finds, is an angel—not only a porfoet
being, but a compound of all perfections. She
must he richly dowered, but know nothing of
the value or vulgarity of wealth ; she must be
young, yet Imvu all the wisdom if age ; beau
tiful, yet totally unconscious of her clin/ms ;
prudent, blit not penurious ; modest, but not
a prude ; clever and accomplished, but inno
cent and unassuming ; she must bar* brains,
not in excess ; her intellect must always remain
exactly live degrees lower than her husband's,
so as to avoid the inconvenience and confusion
that would naturally ensue if hers ever rose a
point above his, and unhappily allowed him to
feel for an instant an uncomfortable sense of
inferiority.
Such is mans idea of a perfect woman, and
with such he might drain to the dregs the cup
of human happiness ; but, failing in this, he
is a poor disappointed creature, wounded in
heart, soured in disposition, and tossed like a
derelict ship to and fro on the ocean of life.
We are not now going into man’s character or
man’s merits, nor disputing his right to such
a partner, if he can by any chance meet with
her. We should he the first to offer our con
gratulation on so felicitous a union, and pray
that this even balance might be preserved to
the end of their days, and, when their final
hour approached, that death itself might not
divide them. We simply assort that such a
being is not to be found—that this impossible
woman does not exist. The immortal soul of
man yearns after the beautiful, the good, the
true: and suffering, sad humanity answers
him with sorrow, weakness and imperfection,
lie feels that virtue, after all, is the right thing;
and if lie cannot have it himself—cannot just
live up to the mark that he ought to attain to
—he tli inks it highly desirable that somo one
should, lie can enjoy the virtue that is achieved
by practice and self denial in another, and, in
*imo incoherent way, expect the blessing to
full on his head and attend his steps. Doom
ed to disappointment, he would cover his own
delinquencies by heaping reproaches upon
woman.
Many a man starts upon his wedding tour
with the firm conviction that an angel is his
traveling companion—that he hits found the
impossible woman who has condescended to
cast in her lot with his, who regards her idol
with blind admiration. oven in the midst
of the bridal feast, how often has a man’s hand
written on the wall, “ weighed in the balance
arid found wanting,’' and the man upbraids
tlio anrcl for notpn'sessingqualiticsthat never
existed *avo in his own distorted brain ! Put
ting, then, the impossible woman aside, let man
with duo caution and n prudent regard to con
sequences, seek the possible, looking first for
a warm li art and a clear head, and as much
amiability, beauty, youth and money as he can
combine with them ; let him keep the heart
warm by love and tenderness, and develop the
sense and judgmont by respect and confidence ;
and if she should happen to have a preponder
ance of intellect—which, with all duo respect
to manly.power, is the case soM'.timti —let hitu
regard that priceless quality not in a spirit of
moan, petty rivalry, but as a gift from Heaven,
a joint possession, by which both muy be bet
ter, wiser, and happier. Whatever sense they
have between them, they will want it all.—
Life's journoy is long, life's burden is groat :
lot them be satisfied to beguilt* tiis one and
share the other —content if step by step and
side by sido they can move along together, and
thankful if a gleam of sunshine someliirus falls
upon their path.- T.\e Queen.

A lady came to New York city from Georgia
a few weeks since, oa a most commendable
mission, that of raising money to assist the
cause of Southern education. Slio had pro
gressed finely with her work, but a day or two
since was so unfortunate as to lose her mem
orandum book, which book contained, among
other things, the names of those persons upon
whom the lady had called, and intended to
call in furtherance of her mission. Imagine
her surprise, while in Brooklyn, yesterday, to
ascertain that another party, undoubtedly
having found the memorandum book, assuming
the lady's name, and armed with forged letters
of introduction, was engaged also in the laud
able work of collecting money, but which
money, so far as can be ascertained, is not vary
extensively devoted to the cause of Southern
education. This is one of the sharp tricks, by
the practice of which thousands of people in
the larger cities livo, and a most provoking
joke. — Ex.
A thief entered a houso, and wishing to
nrako clear work, after seaching tho lower
part of the house packed his plunder in a bun
dle, and leaving it on the table proceeded up
stairs to reeonnoitro for more. During his
absence, tlio owner of the house who had
watched his movements, takes his bundle and
carried it away ; presently tlio thief comes
down, and seeing the bundle is gone, says,
‘•IVell, this is tlio d&rndest thieving hole 1 ever
into. A fellow can't keep anything after
lie ji.is got it.”

In ,i late letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
“ Mack" treats iis to tlio following pbture of
Senatorial love and harmony :
“ 1 don't know why il is, but thero is a cor
diality of hatred and a reciprocity of contempt
between the «*rent men of the Radical party in
tile Senate, that, if fully known, would aston
ish most people. Fessenden hates Sumner,
and says in private conversation he’s a tool.
Sumner hates Fessenden, and says that he’s a
wretch. Harlan hates Grimes, and ?ays he’s
a man of no principle. Grimes hates Harlan,
and says lie's a swindler. "Wade hates Sher
man, and says that lie's a political coward.
Sherman—well, John hasn't blood enough in
him for cither love or hate. Conncss hate Colo
(they arc both Radicals from California, re
member) and calls him all the evil names lie
can think of. Cole reciprocates tho favor by
giving, as his private opinion of Conners, that
he is the biggest scoundrel unhung. Trumbull
talks of Yates as a drunken fool, and Y'ates
talks of Trumbull as a sober snoak. If what
Williams, ofOregon, says of Corbett, ofOregon,
bo true, Corbett ought to b# in a lunatic asy»
him ; and if what Corbott says of him he true,
Williams ought to ho in the State’s prison.
And, O ! ye gods, listen to Drake talk of his
newly elected colleague, the humble Schurz—
he of the unfathomable Gorman mind and tho
metaphysical German countonanco—the disci
ple of Kant and the countryman of Schiller.
‘A Dutch infidel’ —‘and an unprincipled inter
loper'—‘political adventurer'—and all the
names with which the Radical tongue can grace
its speech when it gets excited.
But even Drake on Schurz is sweetened rose
water compared with Morton on Schuyler, the
new Y. I’., or Schuyler on Morton. They are
both from Indiana, you know, and each claims
a minute acquaintance with the other's record.
Nor is this all. The Republican party of In
diana seems to be divided into hostile armies
under ‘he banners of Schuyler and Morton
respectively. The Schuyler fellows have long
been indulging tlio hope that Mr. Morton
would die, hut he has no notion of it. He is
better to-day than he has been for four years,
and likely to be entirely well very soon.—
Meantime the war goes on. The Schuyler fel
lows spit nitric acid nil over the Morton fac
tion, and the Morton faction returns the com
pliment with a strong solution of verbal vitriol.
1 presume each to be correct in what they say
of the other, and conclude from both that the
Radicals of Indiana are a very happy family,
indeed,"
Editorial Slavery.
Every editor of a paper will appreciate the
truth of the following passage from some of
the writings of Captain Marriott:
It is not the writing of the leading article
itself, but the obligation to write that article
every day (or woek), whether inclined or not,
in sickness or health; in affliction, diseasesjof
the mind, winter or summer, year after year,
tied down to the task, remaining in one spot.
It is like tho walking of a thousand hours. I
have a fellow-feeling, for I know how a peri
odical will wear down one’s existence. In
itself it appears nothing, the labor is not man
ifest ; nor is it tho labor, but it is tho continued
attention which it requires. Your life becomes
as it were tho publication. One day's (or
week’s) paper is no sooner corrected and prin
ted, than on comes another. It is the stone of
Syslphus ; an endless repetition of toil ; con
stant weight upon the intellect and spirits,
demanding all tire exertion of your faculties,
at the same time that you aro compelled to do
the severest kind of drudgery. To write for
a newspaper is very well, but to edit one is to
coudenm yourself to slavery. All of which is
as true as preaching.

Last Agonies ol a Man Dying from Hydro
phobia.
The following is an account of a death from
hydrophobia, which occurred in Putterson on
Saturday last:
Timothy McCarty, living near the junction,
ia the southern part of tho city, was the vic
tim. On New Year’s day, McCarty was bit
ten in the finger by a large black dog whiclr
ho owned. The bite seemed a trifling matter,
and he paid no attention to it. The dog, how
ever, having made othsr attempts at biting,
was killed by some of the neighbors, who were
convinced that he was mad, or at all evonte’
a dangerous animal. Os late McCarty begnn
to be considerably disturbed about the bite, he
brooded over it, became actually terrified, lost
his sleep, and in other ways showed that tho
circumstance was preying on his mind, tho
evil influence being perhaps increased by in
cautious remarks from friends and relatives.—
About throe o’clock on Saturdtiy morning he
was seized witlrterrible paroxysm*, so that it
required the efforts of a strong man or two to
restrain him from violence. lie was generally
rational, but ever and anon would break out
in incoherent cries and demonstrations of fear.
He could not tolerate tlia presonce of women
in bis room. Onco ho was terrified at the
presence of. an imaginary dog under the bed,
but on being assured that no dog was there,
became quiet. It needed not his show of
aversion to wator to tell his friends what waa
tho cause of this frightful sickness—they had
been expecting it. At two o’clock a physician
was sent for. Ha same, and without saying
anything, walked into the room with » little
water in a glass. The man’s horror was sick
ening to behold. In abject fear h* drew him
self up in a corner of the bed as far as possible
from tho hated water, and the doctor believed
that had ho not withdrawn with tho water, the
poor fellow would have jumped out of the
window. The doctor was convinced by this,
that tin man’s ease was hopeless, and *o it
proved, for in another hour he expired in con
vulsions. The physician says it was the most
horrible case of the kind he evor witnessed.—
The fit of hydrophobia camo on in about the
usual period—four to six weeks being the aver
age.—[Exchange.
Grubs.
This disease, so fatal to horses, a friend in*
forms us, can be certainly cured by the follow-"
ing simple remedy, which he found several
years ago, in the Rural Register:
Ist. Bleed the horse in tho mouth, and wait
a sufficient time for him to swallow the blood,-
the object of which is to attract the) Grub and
cause it to turn loose.
2d. Take 1 table spoonful of alum and the
same of copperas, pulverized, and dissolve in
1 pint of strong vinegar, (apple vinegar is the
best,) and drench the horse with it. In about
half an hour drench well with sage ten an<T
sweet milk. Our informant says ho knows
this remedy will cure Grubs, having tried it
repeatedly and never known it to fail.
