Ladies’ Luggage,
llo'v happy is the single Fife,
Of all those priests and monks 1
Not one of whom has got a wife
To bother him with trunks
And bandboxes, a load too great
For man or horse to bear,
\\ hich railways charge for, over-weight,
And.cabs asks double fare.
Fell care, as with your bride you po9t,
Distracts your anxious mind,
Lest this portmanteau should be lost,
Or that be left behind:
Her baggage as you travel down
Life’s hill, weighs more and more,
And still, us balder grows your crowD,
Becomes a greater bore.
Outstretched by Fashion vile and vain,
Hoop petticoats, and vests.
Now British females, to contain,
Kcquire no end of chests.
To which bags, baskets, bundles, add,
Too numerous to name,
Enough to drive a poor man mad,
A Job with rage inflame.
The cub keeps swaying o’er your head,
With luggage piled above,
Os overturn you ride in dread,
With her whom you should love,
Then you, the station when you gain,
Must see that lumber stowed,
And fears about it in the train,
Your heart and soul corrode.
Thus does your wife each journey spoil
Os yours that she partakes,
Thus keep yon on the fret and broil,
Your peace and com fort breaks.
With all these boxes, all her things,
(llow many!) to enclose,
The fair Encumbrance on you brings,
A wagon-load of woes.
— Punch.
Indian Summer.
A sad heart in a sobbing breast,
Whose birds have lied that sang for me,
Is the sweet golden robin’s nest,
That swings in silence on the tree.
There stands the sere and withered briar,
Counting the red beads on its stem,
For snow will quench its leaves of fire,
And death will blanch checks red like them.
No bud to bloom—no beak to sing—
No flower to greet the eager eye—
No oriole with sunny wing—
No song between U 9 and the sky.

Tlic Way lo Win a Bachelor.
“Why don’t you marry Joe?
“Marry!” was the answer made in the most
contemptuous manner, and accompanied by a lift
of the chair for to pillow his slippered feet to rest
comfortably upon the inantlepiece.
“Yes, marry; lam sure you want a wife. You
are making ducks and drakes of your income,
wasting too much in the housekeeping. House
keeping ! The idea of an old bachelor keeping
house!”
“ Whv not? Hannah makes n <■j comforta
ble.”
“Comfortable! Look at this room—everything
in the wrong place, dust an inch thick, and not one
of the pretty fixin’s with which women beautify a
room at a trifling expense. Then you fairly sup
port Hannah’s family, if I may judge by the quan
tity of provisions, clothes and fuel she smuggles
out of the gate.”
“What!”
Down came the chair, feet and nil, and the, bach
elor, who was tall, handsome and yet on the right
side of forty, stood up before his little cousin,
who was flinging home truths so lavishly in his
face.
“Fact, Joe; Eve seen her do it. Now, a wifo
would make this housekeeping all very straight.—
Now, do marry, cousin Joe ; I want you to get a
real nice little wife.”
“Where is she to be found ?”
“Well, let me see.” And the little beauty knit
her brow and looked as much puzzled as if the
name of the person prosposed bad not been on the
tip of her tongue for the last hour. “Let me see!
Oh, I know ! Meta Snow,”
“What! Meta Snow ? She is the most extrava
gant girl in the village. Now, if you had said
Mary Wright, who dresses simply and has her
house furnished so neatly and plainly, I might have
consented; but Meta Snow—why her dress and
bonnets would cost a fortune, not to mention the
expensive furniture she delights in. No chairs, so
fas or cuatnins but etnhroidcd ones suit her, and,
oh 1 worst of all, she spends half of her time read
ing trashy magazines. Meta Snow!” And Joseph
Harris sank back in his chair, utterly overpowered
with the magnitude of the idea.
“So Meta’s extravagances is the only objec
tion ?”
“Well, yes; she is pretty, intelligent, lively,
accomplished, but you know, Jennie, rny poor
brother’s experience makes me dread an extrava
gant wife. T think he owed his failure entirely to
Margaret’s love, flue clothes and expensive furni
ture. lam no mean— ”
“Indeed you are not, Joe.”
“But I know what a weight on a man’s energies
an extravagant wife is.”
“Then, if I can prove Meta Snow the most eco
nomical girl in the village, and that she spends less
in one year than Mary Wright iu six months, you
will give me anew cousin, your wife ?”
“Yes, I will; but I bet a dozen pair of kid gloves
and anew bracelet against a smoking-cap—mine
is very shabby—that you fail.”
“Done! Come spendfthis evening with me.—
Good bye.” And away went Jennie Harris on
“matrimonial schemes intent.”
The evening found Joe early at his cousin’s.—
To tell the truth, Meta Snow’s pretty face aud win
ning maimers had won the bachelor’s heart long
before, but her apparently expensive habits frigh
tened back the offers often on the tip of his tongue,
and he was willing enough to pay the wager, could
it but be fairly won.
“Now, Joe,” said Jennie, meeting him at the
door, “I am going to hide you, and have a little
talk with the girls, to which you must listen. If i
you are here, I should not like to ask all the ques
tions I intend to, and they might be shy of answer
ing-”
“Play evesdropper, Jennie ?”
“Exactly ; it is fair in such a case. Hark 1 the
bell! There they are. In this closet, Joe !”
“But, Jennie—”
“Hush ! You win a wife or a smoking cap, any
how. Go in 1” and, with a parting push, Jennie
locked the door.”
Joe, forced to comply, now sat down in the large
closet, on a stool considerately provided for the
purpose, put his tye to the hole in the pannel, and
took a survey of the visitors just entering. After
this he, with a shrug of his shoulders, placed bi 9
ear where his eye had been.
The young ladies, both pretty, were dressed in
very different styles. Meta wore a light blue silk,
with flounces, brettelles of velvet, and a pretty
head-dress of blue ribbons on her luxuriant light
hair. Mary was attired in a pearl-colored silk,
made peifeetly plain, with a rich lace collar and
sleeves, and wore her dark Lair in simple braids,
with gold heaped pins at the back.
Jeuiiie opened her batteries at once.
“What a pretty dress, Meta'”
“Ain’t it? 1 made it to-day.”
“Oh, yes ; I make all my own dresses; it is quite
a saving.”
“I should think it would be,” said Mary Wright;
“my dressmaker’s bills are enormous. I won’t
have my dresses made anywhere but in Philadel
phia, and it costs a small fortune.”
come from there,” said Meta “Jen
nie, I am making you a head-dress like mine—do
you like it?”
“Yes, thank you very much.”
“It is made out of the ribbon I had on my last
blue dress. I got a receipt for renovating rib
bons last week, and tried it. My bretelles are of
the same.”
“I thought it was bran new,” said Mary.
“What an economical girl you are, Meta!”
“Jennie tittered. “I heard her called extrava
gant to-day,” she said. “Come, Meta, deny the
charge and pro\e it false.”
“I think 1 can without verifying it. My father
ia not rich, and since my mother died I have learn-
ed to be economical. I make all my own clothes,
bonnets, cloaks and dresses included, embroider
all my collars and sleeves.”
“W hat! cried Marv, “those elegant collars and
sleeves you wear? Why, I have often said that,
although mine cost so much, they do not compare
with yours.”
“It is pretty work to take out when mv hands
would otherwise he idle,” said Meta. “See! I
have one here. I will work a9 I defend mvself.—
Then, Jennie, I make many of father’s things—
bis dress-gowns, underclothes, slippers—and I em
broider seats for all worn chairs and solas. Our
parlor furniture got very shabby, and we could
not afford to re-furnish; but the curtains I em
broidered, and new seats for Ottoman’s sofas and
chairs, w ith some of my tidies, and a coat of var
nish here and there, made it look quite respecta
ble.”
“The prettiest parlor in the village?” said Jen
nie. “But, Meta, the many fancy articles must be
expensive.”
“W hat, the vases, hanging baskets, lamp shades,
and all these thing? Oh, no; I make them, and
they cost very little. Then father likes a good ta
bic, and I have learned to be quite a cook. I put
up all our preserves and pickles, make the cake,
and can provide new dishes constantly.”
“Mercy?” cried Mary; “why, the preserves,
pickles and cake alone, at our house, cost me a
mint of mnngy I”
“But, Meta,” said Jennie, “how do yow find
time for all this ? I was informed that you speut
half your time reading a trashy magazine.”
“Oh, Jennie, how can you call it so useful your
self?”
“I but repeat another’s assertions.”
“But, Meta,” said Mary, “I should think the pat
terns and receipts you require for so much work
would cost a fortune.”
“They cost me three dollars a year.”
“Where do you get them?”
“From the trashy magazine. Godey’s Lady’s
Book furnishes all this valuable information and
father says his three dollars expenditure is a clear
saving every year of half his former expenses.”
“Let me out! let me out!” cried a voice from a
closet behind the young ladies.
“ What’s that?” ciied Meta and Mary, both at
once.
“Only my cousin Joe. Come out, sir!” and
Jennie opened the door.
“But what is he doing there ?” asked Meta.
“Eating my preserves,” cried Jennie giving her
cousin a pinch.
“No such thing,” said Joe, frankly: “I was
eaves dropping, lam ashamed to say. Miss Meta,
forgive me the unfounded charges I made, which
Jennie has repeated. She defended you at the
time, and shut me up here to convince me what a
mistake I had made. I take it back,” he added,
in a whisper, to Jennie, “the bracelet and gloves
shall be sent here in the morning.”
“I forgive,” said Meta, laughing.
“Mary,” said Jennie, “come with me to the din
ing-room a moment; I want to show you anew
basket I made to day.”
Meta was following them, but Joe, inwardly
blessing his cousin Jennie, took her hand and gent
ly detained her.
Joe Harris lost his wager and won Meta for his
wife. To old bachelors I would say, at parting,
“Go thou, and do likewise.”
A JfnrvclouH Story.
Some people have photographic memories. If
they see a face once, under circumstances calcula
ted to impress it upon their recollection, in remains
there forever. The memories of others are looking
glasspA, from which the image passes as the sub
stance is removed. One of the most extraordina
ry specimens of the former class of memories we
have ever beard of, is said to be possessed by a
gentleman of New Orleans. It is, indeed, if our
authority is to be believed, “ wax to receive and
marble to retain.” Our informant says that some
months ago this New Orleans phenomenon—who,
by the wav,, is an officer of the United States army
—accosted an individual on the levee with, “ How
do you do, my dear lellow; glad to see you look
ing so well. But that was an awful scene we got,
was it not ?”
“Sir,” said the accosted, gravely, “you have
the advantage of me.”
“ Had the advantage of you, you mean—but not
much ; you were down nearly as soon as I was.”
“ Sir,” said the party addressed, still more
gravely, “ you speak in riddles. Will you be so
good as to explain.”
“Ah !” responded the phenomenon, “ don’t re
member, I suppose. Quite natural. We had only
a passing glimpse of each other.”
“ So you probably mistake me for someone
else,” returned the other, much more mystified
than ever.
“ Not a bit of it,” said the man with photographic
memory. “ You were on board the steamer ,
when she blew up near Memphis on the 22d of
April, at 3l minutes past 11 o’clock, a. ji., nine
years ago, were you not?”
“ Yes, I was but—”
“ But me no buts. So was I. You were blown
up sky-high. So was I. Not that I saw you before
the explosion. My first and only interview with
yon, sir, was in the air. You were going up as I
was coming down. The glimpse I had of you was
necessarily short. Your features were distorted
by fright, our paces were killing, and I was wrong
side up. Censequently my opportunities for ob
servation were unfavorable. But I never forget
faces under any circumstances, however discom
posing. I photographed you, sir, and I have had
you in my mind’s eye ever since. The moment I
saw you, I recognized you as the original of m)
mental daguerreotype. Glad to see you looking
in better trim than when I saw you last. But we
all have our ups and downs in this world. Suppose
we adjourn where we can crack a bottle of cham
pagne for the sake of auld lang syne.”
“ Which,” said our informant, as he wound up
the story, “ they accordingly did.”
Toverty not a Curse. —ls there 19 any thing it
the world that a young man should be more thank
ful for than another, it is the poverty which ne
cessitates his starting in life under very great dis
advantages. Toverty is one of the best tests of
human quality in existence. A triumph over it i9
like graduating with honor from West Point. It
demonstrates stuff and stamina. It is a certificate
of worthy labor creditably performed. A young
man who cannot stand the test is not worthy of any
thing. He can never rise above a drudge or a
pauper. A young man who cannot feel hie will
harden as the yoke of poverty presses upon him,
and his pluck rise with every difficulty poverty
throws in his way, may as well retire into some
corner and hide himself. Poverty saves a thousand
times more men than it ruins ; for it only ruins those
wbo are not particularly worth saving, while it
eaves multitudes of those whom wealth would have
ruined. If any young man who reads this i9 so
unfortunate as to be rich, I give him my pity.—
I pity you, my rich young friend, because you are
iit danger. Yon lack one stimulus to cflort and
excellence which your poor companions possess.
Yon will be very apt, if you have a soft spot in
your head, to think yourself above him, and that
sort, of thing ma.Ves vou mean, and injures you.—
With full pockets a.*d full stomach, and fine linen
and broadcloth on yoNir back, your;heart and soul
plethoric, in the race of life you will find yourself
surpassed by all the poor Bovs around you before
you know it. No, my boy,, if you are poor, thank
God and take courage; for He intends to give you
a chance to make something of yourself. If you
had plenty of money, ten chan ecs to one it would
spoil you for all useful purposes. Do you lack ed
ucation ? Have you been cut ahoYt in the text
book? Remember that education, like some other
thing, does not consist in the multitude of things
a man possesses. What can you do? That is the
question that settles the business for you- Do you
know your business ? Do you know men ami how
to deal with them ? Has your mind by airy means
whatsoever, received that discipline which gives
to its actions power and facility ? If so, then ypu are
more of a man and a thousand times better educa
ted than the fellow who graduates from college
with his brains full of stuff that he cannot apply
to the practical business of life—stuff, the acquisi
tion of which has been in no sense a disciplinary
process as far as he is concerned. There are very
few men in this world less than thirty years of age,
and unmarried, who can afford to be rich. One
of the greatest benefits to be reaped from great
financial disasters is the saving of a large crop of
young men. —Timothy Titcetnb.

VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. j‘>.
EveretiN Opinions.
The very satisfactory letter which we copy
below, says the Columbus Enquirer, was wiii eu
by a friemi of Mr. Everett, at Lis request, to „
leading gentleman of Alabama, who hud room r ( ,{
an answer in time to be read before the
Union Convention. Hie rapori oFthe prw*K li.igs
of that body informed us that Mi.
‘ireene county, had read a letter expressive o! Mr.
Everett s views, which gave entire satisfaoti. 4.0
the Convention ; and tfo Selma Issue (a Bivm.in
ridge paper) publishes the letter which we o, v be
low, as the one read by Mr. Taylor.
We have heretofore said that we only regret cd
that our National Convention, at Baltimore did
not reaffirm and endorse the Territorial Jegi. iat ion
of 1850, as the just and constitutional solution of he
relation of the Federal Government toward- ve
ry in the Territories. We know Mr. Bell to be
consistently and steadfastly the advocate of that
policy, because he was in the Senate in .1850 nd
sustained the measures, and because he has sii ce
emphatic ally announced his adherence to them.—
But Mr. Everett was not so fully committed, and
we bavo heretof ore been able to find only his de
clared approval of those acts and that policy in a
speech made in 1854. But now, since his non n
ation, lie has repeated his endorsement of and ad
herence to the principles of the legislation, of
1850, and we are better satisfied with thi3 volunta
ry declaration than with a virtual approval by the
acceptance of a nomination “ and the platform n
nexed.”
The following is the letter, as published by the
Issue:
Boston. June 18, 1800.
“Dear Sir :—Yonr letter of the 12tli was re
ceived by Mr. Everett this day. When he accept
ed the nomination of the Baltimore Union Coim n
tion, it was in the understanding that the oorivs
pondence which might grow out of it should de
volve on the Union Committee here. Your letter
of the 12th has accordingly been placed in tuv
hands, and as you request an answer that v.iil
reach you by return of mail, I have but a few mo
ments to prepare it.
“The compromise measures of 1850 were rr .. d
ed and have been supported by conservative men
at the North as a fair and practicable basis of uni
ted political action between the two great Factions
of the country. To those measures Mr. Ever, it
gave'his full concurrence.
“The paper enclosed in your letter, viz .• tho
resolves of the Massachusetts Legislature Mr. Bur
dens letter and Mr. Everett’s reply, date from the
year 18.‘’.9. They were brought before the Senate
of the United States in 1841, at the time of 1 is
nomination as minister to England, and made tho
ground of a motion for its rejection. Heim CLy
opposed that motion with great warmth, and 1: i,
“that if, through the influence of the South, the
appointment of a man of Mr. F.verett’s known c< 1-
seivative opinions was rejected, the Union was I
ready dissolved.” At the close of a fervid speech
by Rufus Choate, in support of Mr. Everett’s ap
pointment the late Hon. YV. C. Preetion exclaim, J.
“I am atraid I have committed rnvself to n o
against him, but, by Heaven, he shall not be r. i c
ted!” Mr. Preston was afterwards heard to Viy
that “he regretted that vote more than any e\ -r
given by him.” Mr. Everett’s nomination ns tho
first Minister to China, two years later, was, I be
lieve, unanimously confirmed, in the same Senate,
of which Mr. Vice President King and Mr." Ca
lhoun were members. His nomination as Secret 1-
ry of State on the death of Mr. Webster, [was
unanimously confirmed in 1852. In the following
year he was elected,by the conservative members of
the Legislature of Massachusetts, to the Senate of
the United States.
“Mr. Everett’s views with reference to the f, c
ticnal agitation now distracting the conntry, if K ft
in any doubt by his own course, are sufficiently
shown by the bitter hostility of the entirely ami
slavery press. They were re-affirmed, to the gn afi
acceptance of good patriots throughout the Union,
in his speech at Faneud Hall, on occasion of the
attempt at Harper’s Ferry; andjthev are restated in
his letter signifying his reluctant acceptance of the
Baltimore nomination.
I will only observe, in conclusion, that as it
seems to us here no good can result from a revs w
of all that has been said or written North or South,
j for twenty or thirty years, on the question which
now more than ever distracts the country. Rea
sonable men will not, in either section, expect to
find entire concurrence in the other ; and if senti
ments like those entertained, and on all proper
occasions avowed, by Mr. Everett, fail to win the
confidence of the Union-loving men at the South,
Mr. Clay’s emphatic exclamation, in 1841, may
well be repeated.
“I remain dear sir, very respectfully yours,

tutional Union Party.

The Tomato as Food.—Dr. Bennett, a professor
of some celebrity, considers the tomato an invalua
ble article of diet, and ascribes to it various im
portant medical properties. First: That the to
mato is one of the most powerful aperients of ti e
liver and other organs; where calomel is indicated,
it is probably one of the most effective and lea t
harmful remedial agents known to the profession.
Second: That a chemical extract will be obtaiDr i
from it that will supersede the use of calomel in the
cure of disease. Third : That he has successful y
treated diarrhoea with this article alone. Fourth:
That when used as an article of diet it is an almo t
sovereign remedy for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Fifth: That it should be constantly used for daily
food, either cooked or rew, in the form of catsup;
it is the most healthy article now in use.
Breckinridge Party I* a Sectional One.
Mr. U. C. Craig, editor of tire Slave hold, r, pub
fished at Cahaba, Ala., in hoisting the. name of
Breckinridge and Lank to its mast-head, say :
“ When I undertook the publication ol’ li.e
Slaveholder, I did so with the express under-fat,d
ing that it was to encourage and cultivate an uukv>
of the South. It has adhered, without faltering, to
this position, and in its advocacy of Breckinrniuo
and Lane I insist it is still maintaining it. They
are the candidates of the South— nominated by a
substantial Southern Convention, against candi
dates nominated by national parties, and the chief
is a citizen of the slavehohling State of Kentucky.
These stand to unite the South.”
Supreme Court— Resignation.—The Colun.i 3
Times of Tuesday says: YVe learn from good
authority that the Hon. Linton Stephens, one of
the Judges of the Supreme Court of this Stab ,
has resigned his office to take effect after the si -
ting of the Court in Atlanta. He has presi.l, 1
with ability. B. Y. Martin, Esq., the able at I
courteous Reporter, has also resigned. Dinii <•
Mr. Martin’s connection w ith the Supreme Court as
Reporter, has given great satisfaction by the abili
ty, which he discharges his duties, his urbttba
manners, his polite and courteous treatment to tl.a
members of the bar. We regret that he has seen
fit to resign his position.
Church and State.—“ Harmony,” the N. Y
correspondent of the Mobile Reyister (the organ
Douglas in Alabama) gives the following inform;.,
tion :
“ The opposition to Seward by Greeley is owing
to the fact that the great Catholic vote of the coun
try is lost to him. Four years ago, the Bishops and
high dignitaries at Baltimore decided upon a firm,
decided American political policy. It was to avoid
both extremes—tho Republican and the Fire-eater,
