Iljj 3 * In a house where they had a warm air

; No, sir, I’ll never put my arm through

reply of a young lady to a drinking fellow who

FrorrivK Rc rcrxed.— I The Fredericksburg
(Va.) Herald chronicles the fact that a female
slave, who absconded from her master in Ma
ryland. and went to New York, had volunta
rily returned home. It appears that, on
reaching New York site was taken charge of
by tin abolitionist, who sent her, with other
fugitives, to Canada. There she became dis
satisfied and went back.
For the World’s Fair. —A New Haven
paper reports that one hundred American
gentlemen have subscribed $-5,000, ami en
gaged <1 first class vessel, lor a trip to the
World’s Fair in London. During their stay
there they intend to make their home on board
their ship, which is to be superbly furnished
and used lor entertainments, parties. &.v.
The Marriage Relation.—The celebra
ted liaglislt writer, Addison, lias left on rec
ord the following important sentence :
“Two persons who have chosen each miter
out. ol all the species, with a design to be
each other s mutual comfort and entertain
ment. have in that action bound themselves
to he good-humored, affiahle, forgiving, patient
and joyful, with respect to each others frail
ties and imperfections, to the end of their
lives.”
Population op New Yonx.—The popu
lation of the Suite of New York, according to
the census ot 1850, was on the Ist of June last
3,100,000 —an increase ol about 650,000, or
over 23 per cent, during the last ten years,
and a large number of souls rthan was con

1 How to Eat Grapes. — When in health,
swallow only the pulp—when the bowels are
costive, and you wish to relax them, swallow
the seeds with the pulp, ejecting the skins.—
Vv iten you wish to check a too relaxed state
of the bowels, swaliowthe pulp with the skins,
cajoling the seeds. Thus may the grape bs
used as a medicine, while at the same time, it
serves a? a luxury, unsurpassed by any other
cultivated fruit.’
The Benefit otßailroads.—The Wlieel
ing Hazel let states that in 1S TO. the average
assessed value of the lands in Alarion count v
was $2 50 per acre; l in 1850 it is $9,50
per acre;showing an increase in the value
of real estate of near four hundred per cent.
This increase is almost wholly owing to the
fact that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
being made through the county.
Youwg Man, Look! —Many of our most
distinguished representatives and senators,
ministers ol the gospel and authors, have at
tained their present station hy their efforts tit
self-improvement; the pages of the history of
our own and other nations are full of such ex
amples—men who. from humble situations in
life —shepherds, plough-boys, mechanics, have
pushed their way through the obstacles of
povtriy ignoran ea id b rth.'out-stripped those
tar before them at the start, and occupied
prominent and well earned places in the fields
ol science, of politics, literature, and divinity—-
bright examples of what zeal and industry
can accomplish.
Census op Kentucky. —Free inhabitants

an increase of nearly 31 per cent, in the lice

0:1 the aggregate population an increase of
over 27 per cent ia the lust ten years.
Medical Use or Salt. —In many cases o
disordered stomach, a teaspoon!ul of salt is ;■
certain cure. In the violent internal pair
termed cholic a tea spoonful of salt dissolved
in a pint of water, taken as soon as possible
with a short nap m mediately after, is one ot
i Jhe most eflectunl.uid speedy remedies known

most dead from receiving a heavy fall.
In an apolcctic fit no time should be lost ir
pouring down salt water, if sufficient sensibil
ty remains to allow of swallowing; if not tin
head must be sponged with cold water unti
the sense returns, when the salt will complete
ly restore the patient from the lethargy.
In case of severe bleeding at the lungs, ant
when other remedies failed. Dr. Ruslt fount
that two tenspoonfuls of salt completely stay

In and Out. —An Irish preacher was con
side.rably annoyed, (as many before and sinct !

and leaving the church during his sermon |
Hie patience being exausted. he stopped hi- j

Death or Audubon, the Ornitholo-*
gist. —We learn from the New York E.v
press of the decease of this venerable and.
highly distinguished naturalist, to whom tin i
country and indeed the world owe so much ;
for the extent and character of his researches
and publications. He died on [Monday morn-t

English Slave. —At the Norman conquest •
and the close of the Saxon heptarchy, two
thirds of the population of England were found j
to exist in different degrees ot servitude ; and t
of the villeins, bordars. cottars and serfs oi .
thralls, one in seven were slaves, and markt-j
able commodities in the most unlimited sense 1
of tin; term. Slaves and cattle were a kind j
of money, or legal tender, at. a value fixed by
law —a slave being equivalent to lour oxen. 1
So says a recent Ensihsli authority.
Enterprise in Oregon.— By an adver-l
tisement in the Oregon Spectator, vve learn
that the people there are in earnest about
having a railroad to connect the Willamettt
valley w.tli the Columbia river, with its termi
nus at some point approachable by large ves ,
sels. The whole cost, it has been estimated, i
will not be over $500,000, and it is proposed j
to divide that sum into one thousand shares at j
SSOOO each. It is thought that it can be com
pleted in twelve months.
Burnt Almonds. —An inquiry into the
cause of the recent death of a young lady in
England, established that she had been de
stroyed by the portions of the lead contained in
the coloring matter of burnt almonds. Medical
authority was also adduced to show that with
in the last three years upwards of seventy cases
of death had been traced in England to the use
of t oisonous pigments used in fancy sweet
meats! We have reason to believe that this
manner ofmuruer is not uncommon in New
York.
Honest Horse. —An Irisn jocky once sell
ing a nag to a gentleman, irequently observed
with emphatic earnestness, that he was an hon
est horse. After the purchase, the gentleman
asked what lie meant by an honest horse.
“Why sir,” replied the seller, “whenever I
rode him he always threatened to throw
mo. and he certainly never deceived me.”

The Frenchman’s Revenge. —There are
but a few pleasing reminiscences of the time
when business and credit were prostrated by
the hurricane which swept over this country in
-thirty seven” —when the hanks generally sus
pended specie payments, and hard cash was a
phenomenon. We recollect but one mirth
provoking incident, connected with a great
panic, and that was the presentation of a hun
dred dollar bill at the counter of a city bank, by
a Frenchman, with a demand for the specie.
‘ Monsieur,’said the fierce little Frenchman,
vili you pay zis bill ? Yill you give me ze

‘Wecaneot redeem it at present,’said the

‘ Suspende ! Vat’s that ? Hang hy zc neck

‘We cannot pay it now. We will redeem

And, having destroyed the note, looking lull
defiance at the Cashiers, Tellers, and ali

Gems Worth Preserving.—l am of

• I will hazard the assertion, that no man

Vol. XXVIII. No. 47.
President Fillmore and his Cabinet.
—“For the last twenty years,” says the Pe
tersburg (\ a.) Intelligencer. “ there has not
been as perfect a calm in politics as now ex
ists in the United States, and the reason cf it
is to U3 very plain. Thus far the conduct of
President Fillmore’s Administration hes he.cn
such as entirely to satisfy those who were in
strumental in bringing him to the lofty posi
tion which he now occupies, and to silence
those who predicted great calamities to the
country from his elevation. When Mr. Fill
more succeeded to the Presidency, the country
was in a crisis from which nothing but the
most consummate prudence, firmness, and sa
gacity could rescue it.
“At that time a false step, or an unmanly
and time serving paltering with the tremen
dous issues which were pending, would not on
ly have been fatal to his Administration, but
to the Union itself. The emergency was a
fearful one, but Mr. Fillmore proved himself
equal to it. His Message 1o Congress dis
pelled all doubt and all fear, and after twelve
months ol fearful agitation the country breath
ed freely, and was calm again. It may be
said that in avowing his determination to car
ry out the legislation of Congress, and to resist
ail attempts to disturb the Compromise, he
merely did his duty. This is very true, but
if all men did their duty there would be no
necessity for government or laws. But how
often have we seen men, high in office listen
ing to and heeding the suggestion of selfish
ambition on the one hand, or unmanly tim
idity on the other, instead of being guided by
the stern sense ofduty. Those, then, who. in
a spirit of cavil, say that President Fillmore
has ‘only done his duty,’ pay him the very
highest compliment. What greater need of
praise can man received from his Maker or
his fellow man than that ‘he has done his du
ty V Os how many of us can it be truly said,
either at the bar of human opinion or at the
tribunal of Omniscience ? Neither Mr. Fill
more. for himself or iiis friends in his behalf,
can desire for him a brighter page in history,
if, at the close of his Administration, it can be
said truly ‘ He did his duty.’ ”
Work for Children. —There ie nogreat
er defect in educating chydren, than neglect
ing to accustom them to work. It is an evil
that attaches mostly to large towns and cities.
Our children sutler much from it. The pa
rent does not consider whether the child’s
work is necessary to the child. Nothing is
more certain than that in their future indepen
dence and comfort, much depends on their
being accustomed to work —accustomed to
provide lor the thousand constantly recurring
wants that nature entails on us. If this were
not so. still it preserves them from bad habits —
it secures their health —it strengthens both
body and mind—it enables them better to
bear the confinement of the school room —and
it tends more than anything else to give them
just views of life. Growing up in the world with
out a knowledge of its toils and cares, they
view it through a false medium. They can
not appreciate the favors you bestow, ns they
do not know the toils they cost. Their bodies
and minds are enervated, and they are con
stantly exposed to whatever vicious associa
tions are within their reach. The daughter
probably becomes that pitiable, helpless ob
ject. a novel-reading girl. The son. if he sur
mount the consequences of your neglect, does
it probably, after his plans and station for life
are fixed, and when knowledge, so far as one
of its important objects is concerned, conics
too late. No man or woman is fully educated,
it not accustomed to manual labor. Whatev
er accomplishment they possess, whatever
their mental training, a deduction ‘ must be
made lor their ignorance of that important
chapter in the world’s great bock.
Extraordinary Devf.lop.ment or Na
tive Talent. —The most remarkable in
stance of lorgery of which we have lately
heard, has transpired within a lew days past
in this city. A gentleman ambitious ol a
place under Government. and jailing to ob
tain an appointment in the regular way,
stole, took, or procured from the desk of Sec
retary Stuart’s office, the skeleton fqrm of an
appointment totheCenus Office. Mr. Stuart’s
name was already .appended to it, and the as
pirant had hut to insert his own name and a
few other items interesting to himself. Thus
fortified, he presented himself to Mr. Kenne
dy, who had him sworn in. assigned him a
desk, and set him to work at simple audition,
so much practised in this office. Mr. Kenne
dy. who has himself gone much further into-*’
the arithmetic, brought to hear upon his new
clerk and his credentials such powers of anal
ysis as soon led him to conclude that there
was a screw loose somewhere; and only a
few words with the Secretary were required
to make the case a very plain one.
How it came to pass that the novice got
wind of the detection we do not know ; but
this we do know, that when sought for soon
after he could not be found. He had ex
hibited clerkly talent and business knowledge
of a high order, and was 100 modest to await
the measure ol approval they were destined
to bring him.— Washington Republic
Important Invention. —A citizen of Vir
ginia. Jus. S. French, Esq., has made an impor
tant improvement in locomotive steam engines,
with a view to enable then to overcome extraor
dinary grades. On Saturday last the invention
was subinited to the test of actual experiment,
and seems to have proved perfectly successful.
The Richmond Whig has the following para
graph on ti e subject:
••French's Expirtmental Trial. —The ex
perimental trial of French’s improved locomo
tive took place on Saturday in the presence ( fa
large number of persons who had assembled to
witness it. The section of Railroad prepared
for the experiment is about seven hundred
yards in length, and ascends a grade of more
than two hundred feet to the mile. The Loco
motive weighs about three and a halt tons, and
there was attached a passenger ear in which
were seated about one hundred and fifty per
sons. The locomotive and car"passed with
ease up the grade, and it was slopped with
ease when coming down. It was run over the
track repeatedly, and prove to be perfectly safe
and manageable at the highest velocity at
tained. which was probably equal to twelve
miles per hour. The problem of overcoming a
grade of two hundred feet to the mile with a lo
comotive and passenger train, seems to have
been solved to the satisfaction of all whom we
have seen that witnessed the experiment.”
Wise Admonition Well Expressed.—

the late Prof. Kirkland, the lollowing just and
beautiful sentiment occurs:
•* When vice approaches the youthful mind,
in the seductive form of a beloved companion,
the ordeal becomes threatening and danger
ous in the extreme. Few possess the pru
dence and unyielding firmness requisite to pass
it in safety. Those who have been accurate
ly observant to the dependence of one part of
life on another, will readily concur with ns,
that Ames’ future character derived much of
its t'uture, and his fortunes much ot their ele
vation, from the untainted purity and irre
proachableness of his youth. Masculine vir

erful intellect. He that is deficient in either,
will never, unless from the influence of fortui
tous circumstances, be able to place and
maintain himself at the head of s. ociety. Ha
may rise and flourish (or a time, but bis fall is
.as certain as his descent to the grave. lie
who holds parley with ytee ‘tfnd dishonor, is
sure to become their slave ana victim. That
heart is more than hall corrupted that does
not burn with indignation at the slightest at
tempt to seduce iL’’^
