IS FELICE.* “ To-morrow the critics will commence. You know who the critics are ! The men who have failed in Literature and Art.” If the writer could call himself a votary of literature and art, yea, a pride-crushed votary of literature and art, he might con sider himself forestalled aud rebuked by the very cunning and ingenious quotation of the proud authoress; blit as his literary banner is neither fanned by the gentle zephyrs of victory nor lashed by the turbid billows of defeat, Quit, 'at little Regina says, “would like very mneh to cay a word or twon. t simply of what the authoress might call would-be-criticism, but also of approbation ot the literary acme of both Miss Evans and Mrs. Evans Wilson.

Yes I If we wrote naught but that, which causes the heart to leap forth with joy, and the soul with its fire lyrio chords, to re sound with melody, our book-shelves would be empty, our authors and authoresses would starve, aud our literature, now boundless in quantity, as the stars that deck the coronet of night aro in number, would be meagre; and man would mourn because there were no vestiges of the mise ries of the cypress-shaded past. “ Out of the abundance of the heart the Yi—^ . — *• wawint .i‘ss- bo a Bad commentary upon tile so-called matrimonial bl ss, with our erudite authoress. If, my fair lady, your “ Infelice” or its dire equivalent is the cousequeuce of the conju gal tie, then we off our hat aud exclaim, “ 1 thank you heartily, most, if you please, ma’am.” But, on the other hand, if to be conju gated is to be educated—if from the hy menal altar, we can dr. wn intellectual in spiration, then has our fair authoress im bibed largely. If writers on English composition and rhetoric had added to their classification of style, tliat of “Pedantry,” we would call that of Mrs. Evans “Pedantic.” When she leaves her characters and revels in the ab stract, she reminds the writer of a young friend in school, who invariably, after fin ishing his task of oration-writing, would go over U, strike out all of the tittle words, and in their pterereWtft ulu lifr) on in - Her quotatious, (phrases) so .i0 of them, ■U himiNM* dMnBiin Itlp Ahe-wfilga- rism, are rather fkr-l'ctehed—hardly epi grammatical.

It does seem strange that woman, in all of her pur ty and gooiuess. will still cling, as we often find In life, to the object that has deserted her; yea, wronged and Tinned her. Is it co ventionality, or want oi a firm, strong, sensitive principle in woman f Suppose Minnie Merle had deserted ^utb- bert Laurence, what would be have done ? shudder to say, because I love Xiinaiu now, and do not desire to associate her name with such a heinous off.-nse, as to ( jink she would be guilty of such a thing.

But we must stop this unfledged “ Iufe- lice.” Like the mellow twilight lading into rosy-fingered morn, Felice (if we may so say,) was grailually usurping Infelice, and the authoress was compelled to stop; for Cuthbert was on the door-step, and Regina and Erie were coming up the long walk to the new homestead, and we know the rest.

In vie* of the intolerant, persistent, ag gressive efforts of Romanists and their evi dent determination to control the govern ment of the United States, and to destroy our civil and religious liberty, we declare ourselves adherents to the following proposi tions, viz: First—That any interference in political affairs by any man or body of men acting in behalf or by direction of any eooiestastical body or power, for the benefit of such organ stitutioni Second—:That any recognition of sectarian qiMttk*tfWdaMh£iA**4be fuigwmnt of our public educational or reformatory in stitutions or in rditi—i again is opposed the spirit of our institutions. Third—That there is danger that the Roman Catholic Church, professedly a body superior to all governments, and demanding from their adherents an allegianoe paramount to that given to the State, may take advan tage—as they have done in the past—of The equality allowed to them in common with other forms of religious belief, to strive for political influence for the purpose of advanc ing the interests of the church. Therefore, as that organization have in- their own recognition as an element in tical problems, and demanding special station for their own benefit, we farther declare it to be our conviction that true Americans-should organise to oppose such attempts; and we do hereby organize our selves and adopt for our government the following:^ t* f ?

I always had a high regard for the signers of the Declar tion of Independence, but now they did not really seem to amount to much along with the signers of the Niagara Falls. To tell tl^e truth the multitude nf signers aniidyeu me. It was L-cause I noticed at last tney were prohibiting the very thing I was just wanting to do. I desired to roll on the grass; the sign, prohibited it. I loured to smoke; a sign prohibited it.

I came upon a camp of them gathered in the shade of a great tree, making moccasins, and addressed therein the following lan guage of friendship: ' / ’ “ Noble Bed-men, Brave Grand Sachem, War Chiefs, 8quawa and High-ypu-Nuck-a- mucks— The pale-face froth the land of the setting sun greets you!

Presently I remarked: “Please excuse the curiosity of a drowning man, but will you explain this singular conduct of yours?” “With pleasure. I am the Coroner. Don’t burry on my account. I can wait for you. I wish I had a match.” “Take my place and I’ll go and get you one,” I said. He declined.

[Comspondenoe Angnst*Con»titntion*li»t.] Mr. Editor Having read your articles upon the subject of matrimony, I feel con strained to put to a few words to defense of my much abused sex. I will review the his tory of the average married couple, pitying your patience the while- I will take you to the starting point, courtship. It isn’t pleas- ant 1 know, to a married man, to be invited to a glance into this period. I will lead you bow into tbe parlor with the lovers. You behold tbe man upon his knees, his counte nance beaming with love, his lips quivering with the expressions of devotion. He is actually a worshipper. The woman before him. is his idol. Ho vows that his life shall be demoted to her happiness—that his evenr thought shall be of her—that he finds his happuMM onto in hets. He cafis tiefi queen of his heart. The poor, tbor* girl be-ore him receives his adoration, to his honeyed words, and finally consents to Mount thalbrone be bat placed- hefefehgr. We will now take a glimpse of the honey moon. Tbe blooming bride wears a joyous smile, for toe sits a queen upon the throne of her husband’s heart. Allis ‘contour derose.’ Life is glorious to her—the world radiant with sunshine, and her heart, so toll of love, overflows at every touch of kindness from even the most distant hand. The honey moon over—“ My Lady” be gins’to- learn buttons are to be sewed on, socks darned-one step toe descends from her tiurpne. . Next she must see that the house is neat in every part—meals in time, and at even ing, slippers warmed upon the hearth rug— foot-stool, chair, candle-stand and book in readiness; for her whilom servant, now lord, bus discovered that his happiness is ^cund, not so much io heir’s, as in his comforts, and there he sits (selfish creature) book in band amusing himself with imaginary men and women while the weary wife by his side, pining for companionship,' plies the busy needle in silence; her thoughts the while ranurnfullr reverting to the pleasant evenings spent beneath tbe -parental roof, where brothers aud sisters mingled to social con verse or whiled away tbe joyous hours with music or some pleasant game. She begins to realize her changed position. She has dismounted her throne and now finds herself to be not “ queen,” but “ upper servant.” Her lord, not satisfied with this, bis whilom qneen is requested to enter the kitchen. Here she is expected to be mistress of the culinary arts. She must know when turkey is “done to a turn,” bow to broil beefsteak, how “rare” a roast should be, how thin to slice potatoes, which she must “drop into boiling lard” and from which they must come “brown, crisp. and not at all greasy. n (Metbioks this sel fish ford might very properly be treated to a similar bath.) Sfie must understand how to make a “good cook of a poor one”—a fine dish from poor material, etc., eta Now, from this greasy, sooty employment (her delicate complexion scorched and fingers blistered ) she must emerge sweet aud clean (no time to change attire, for dinner would get cold and husband consequently cross). She must meet him with a welcoming smile wad- ptreiito - wifo -grace at the. table. Added to these trials came tbe cares of maternity. She is now nurse, seamstress (still tower) cook. From a queen she has descended to a servant; her throne having tong since been kicked by her former sers vant now sovereign into “the lumber-loft of forgotten things.’’ Upper Servant ♦-i ' THE DEAD Totl out, oh with its Aw The Chime out, oh bell*! chime oat tiid ratio Chime out, oh beta I Toe RHtsMp QnHnm.—Bb qasrtion of Chinese immigration it looming up in California It seemsthfit both parties to the Legislature have agreed upon a^memorial to Congress to reform our treaties with Cbina so as to make them treaties of commerce and to prevent the influx of Chinese immtorfihto.
