The Kmpt)’ Cup.
If you were to see a man endeavoring all his
life to satisfy his thirst by bolding an empty cup to
his mouth, you would certainly despise Ids igno
rance ; but if you should sec others of tiuer under
standings, ridiculing the dull satisfaction of one
and thinking to satisfy their thirst by a variety of
gilt and golden, empty cups, would you think
that these were even the wiser, or happier, or bet
ter employed than the object of their contempt?
Now this is all the difference that you cau see in
the various forms of happiness caught at by the
men of the world.
Let the wit, the great scholar, the fine genius,
the greut statesman, the polite gentleman, unite all
their schemes, and they can only show you more
and various empty appearances of happiness.—
Give them all the world into their hands, let them
cut and carve as they please, they can only make
a greater variety of empty cups; for search as
deep and look as far as you will, there is nothing
here to be found that is nobler or greater than high
eating and drinking, than rich dress and human
applause, unless you look for it in the wisdom and
laws of religion.
Reader, reflect upon the vanity of all who live
without godliness, that you may be earnest at the
throne of grace, to be turned from the creature
and seek for happiness in the Creator. The poor
est Christian who lives upon Christ, and walks in
daily fellowship with God, is happier than the rich
est worldling. Indeed, such only are happy.—

Over-Worked Women. —An over-worked wo

than an overworked man, because she is so much
more fertile iu capacities of Buttering than a man.
She has so many varieties of headaches—some

Sisera, into her temples—sometimes letting her
work with half her brain'while the other half throbs
as if it would go to pieces—sometimes tightening
round the brows as if her cap-band were Luke’s
iron crowu—and then her neuralgias, her back
aches, and her fits of depression, in which she
thinks she is nothing, and less than nothing, and
those paroxysms which men speak slightly of as
hysterical—convulsions, that is all, only not com
monly fatal ones—so many trials which belong to
her fine and mobile structure, that she is always
entitled to pity, when she is placed in conditions
which develop her nervous tendencies.— l>r. O.

Victoria's First Moment of Sovereignty.—
W illiam the Fourth expired about midnight, at
Windsor Castle. The Archbishop of Canterbury,
with other high functionaries of the kingdom, was
in attendance. As soon as the king had breathed
his last, the archbishop quitted Windsor and made
his way to Kensingtou l'ulace, the residence of the
Princess Victoria, where he arrived before day
light, and announced hinnelf, requesting an imme
diate interview’ with the Princess. She hastily
attired herself, and met the venerable prelate iu
the ante-room. He informed her of the demise
of the crown, and did homage to her as the sove
reign of the nation. Hbe was, at eighteen, queen
of the only realm, in fact or history, on which the
sun never sets. She was deeply ugitated. The
first words she uttered w ere these, “ I ask your
prayers in my behalf.” They knelt down together,
amt the young sovereign inaugurated her reign
like a young king of Israel, by asking from ou
high “an understanding heart to judge so great a
people, who could not be numbered, not counted,
tor the multitude.”
Children and Flowers. —There seems a close
connection between children and flowers—the chil
dren ot men, and flowers, the children of the
earth. Flowers constitute their great natural
playthings, and the young heart rejoices over the
possession of a bunch of wayside tiowers. And
between the unstained mind of the child and the
susceptable nature of the poet there is a strong
likeness as the child loves, so loves the poet;
childhood and genius alike admiring the grand and
beautiful in nature, and alike regardless of the
pomps and vanities of life. The child’s prattle
and the muse’s tongue speak the praises of the
flowers, rejoicing in their lragrance and color, and
touched with sadness when the color tades and the
odor has departed. The busy people of the world,
active in its hard reality, intent on enterprise and
speculation, have little sympathy with the child’s
enjoyment or the poet's sentiment; to such, a
primrose is a yellow primrose, nothing more; but
it is more to the child, and more to the poet.—

A midshipman asked a priest to tell him the dif
ference between a priest and a jackass. The priest
gave it up. “One wears a cross on his hack, and
the other on his breast,” said the midshipman.—
“Now,” said the priest, “ tell me the difference be- ;
tween a midshipman and a jackass.” The mid- i
shipiuan gave it up, and asked what it was. The
priest said he did not know oi any.
A certain judge was once obliged to double with
an Irishman in a crowded hotel, when the follow
ing conversation ensued : “ Pat, you would have
remained along time in the old country, before
you could have slept with a judge, would you not?”
“ Y'w yer honor,” said I‘at, “and I think yer hon
or would have been a long time in the ould coun
try before ye’d b*en a judge, too.”
You may make your affections too cheap, or
too dear, in dealing with your children or vour
friends. Jf too cheap, none of them will value
them —if too dear, all will despair of securiug
them. Affections are so many moral objects, to
be accorded to justice, not to favor, and never to
be withheld when due, nor bestowed when unde
served.—Simms.
“ I want something for a broncritical nffliction,’
said Mrs. Partington to Dr. Restieaux. The doctor
with that smiling urbanity which has become a
feature at the north end told her that he could
prepare something that be thought would help her.
Filling a small bottle, he handed it to her. “ This
isn’t the Pictorial Syrup, is it ?” she inquired.—
“ Because,” continued she, “ that creates a nasliua,
and raises mv expectations. I only want a simple
lucubration for the throat.” lie assured her it was
just what she wanted. She thanked him, and de
parted.
That tiower which follows the sun, doth so even
in cloudy days; when it doth not ghine forth, it
vet follows tiie hidden course and motion of it.—
So the soul that moves after God, keeps that course
when he hides his face—is content in all conditions
and events.
True greatness consists in doing what deserves
to be written, in writing what deserves to be read,
and in making mankind better and happier for
yoorlife.
Where shall vt Sleep .
“ 1 feel t,l< ’ daisies growing over me,” said the

io be. waited tot lie air ou the crimson wings ol
lire ; to leave a little dilst for token, i„ tbsf bottofii
of an urn, is not King, a weary hild at rest, elo e
folded in the bosom ofthe Earth. To lie beneath
a billow y maple on a hillside, green, and sloping
to the sun, w ith birds singing In the bought, and
threshold flowers soft tolling in the i(ir, is no un
pleasant thought. Tlt> fever of the world te all

that sheds a shadyiw on the spangled heap, and
passes on forever.
Io turn immortal with the Arefic touch, and
wear|the seamless robe of winter for a shroud ; to

Nature, lie like an imperishable jewel on the cheek
ol death, has little charm. To be let gently down,
-some pleasant summer’s night, iuto tiie clelt crystal
of n lake, to otk’s last sleep, would not he to bid flic
light “good by.” For there as in the lower sphere
of tfte finished heaven, the form should lie, among
the doubles ol the stars, and the shimmering of
the moon. The dawn should redden there, and
the great sun move quenchless through the water ;
it would not be beyond the flight of day, that
burial place, and yet below the storm that wrecks
both sea and sky.
And yet there isji quiet charm In that close fel
lowship with Nature on the shore, as so simply’ told
by Landor a long time ago :
“ The place where soon I think to lie,
In its old creviced nook hard by,
Rears many a weed;
If parties bring you there, will you
Drop slvly in a grain or two
Os wall-flower seed ?”
“ I shall not see it, and, too sure,
I shall not even hear that your
Light step was there.
But the rich odor, some fine day,
\\ ill what I cannot do, repay
That little care.”
Solicitude for Children.
Dr. Stork, in his “Home Scenes, or Christ in
tho Family,” has some beautiful thoughts on a duty
ol the Church, which cannot be too frequently or
too impressively inculcated. We quote one as fol
lows :
Even in what are called the dark ages, the time
ot monkish austerity and priestly sway, we see
glimpses of tender solicitude for childhood. In the
Gothic Cathedral, that embodiment of the middle
ages, the Holy Mother and her divine child beam
upon the worshiper from illuminated missals and
painted windows. There by the alter stands the
baptismal font; and the child of the poorest pea
sant is recognized as a lamb of the Good Shepherd,
and received into his fold. What would childhood
have been in the dark ag* without the church ?
What oilier power could have stood between inno
cence and its tempter and destroyer ? Who would
have withstood Herod, if the mother heart of
Christianity had witheld its guardianship ?
Christianity is still the guardian of childhood, for
Herod still lives. His spirit is still the spirit of the
worm—at ttie world’s passion and its policy.—
What multiform evils are all around, to blight the
innocence and purity of the young! What evils
surround their path 1 What serpents are gliding
among the very dowers of their spring! The child
ever needs protection ; Herod ever in some form
rages; Christianity, like a maternal heart, needs
ever to keep its watch.
The Uright Side.
Look on the bright side. It is the right side.
The times may be hard, but it will make them no
easier by wearing a gloomy and sad coctenance.
It is the sunshine and not the cloud that makes
the flower, lhere is always that before or around
us which should cheer and fill the heart with
warmth. The sky is blue ten times where it is
black once. You have troubles, it may be. So
have others. None are free from them. Perhaps
it is as well that none should be. They give* sinew’
and tone to life—fortitude and courage to man.—
I hat would be a dull sea, and the sailor would nev
er get skill, where there was nothing to disturb the
surface of the ocean. It is the duty of every one
to extract nil the happiness and enjoyment he can
without and within him, and above all he should
look on the bright side of things. What though
things do look a little dark ? The lane will turn,
and the night will end in the broad day. In the
long run the great balance rights itself. YY'hat is
wrong, right. Men are not made to hang down
either heads or lips; and those who do, only show
that they are departing from the paths of true
common sense and right. There is more virtue in
one sunbeam than a whole hemisphere of cloud and
gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look on the blight
side of things. Cultivate what ia warm and genial
not the cold and repulsive, the dark and morose.
The Iron Duke was right I)ont neglect your duty;
look to the bright side ; live down prejudice.
Sow largely of AYhcat.
Provisions next, year will be unusually scarce and
as the cotton crop is not large enough to employ
all of the farm force to pick it out, it will be good
policy in the planters to make large sowings of
wheat, They should feel encouraged the more to
do so, from the fact that the two last crops have
been short, and as three short crops do not often
come in succession, next year, will most probably
afford an abundant yield of small grain. A large
spring crop will greatly relieve the stress upon the
country, and give material aid in keeping stock to
finish the corn and cotton crop next summer.
Those who have no seed to sow can order it from
the West in time, if they will make their orders
immediately, and it would not be bad policy, even
for those who have plenty of seed, to make a part
of their sowing of North-Western wheat. It is said
by those who have tried it, that transporting grain
from a few hundred miles North makes it some
weeks earlier than the acclimated seed, and this
will make a difference worth securing to those who
raise for consumption or market next spring.
At ad iso h Visitor.
There is a gentle but glorious mission for every
women in the world. Every women may be unos
tentatiously at work, in her own home, improving,
cheering, ministering to the comfort of those
around her. And then she can go forth with her
heart filled with loving sympathy, and gladden the
home of the mourner, smoothe the pillow of the
sick ; relieve the wants of the poor ; and raise the
clasped hands of the little child to Heaven, as she
tenches its lips to pray. Ever bearing with her the
light of compassionjin her eye, which shall enable her
to draw near the sufferer; the cheering smile upon
her lip, which shall be a pastport to every home,
and the gentle words upon her tongue, which shall
fall like sweetest music upon the drooping spirit.
Home Like. —Even as the sunbeam is composed
of millions of minute rays, the home life must be
constituted of little tendernesses, kindly looks
sweet laughter, gentle words, loving counsels • it
must not be like the torch-blaze of nutural excite
ment, which is easily quenched, but like the se
rene, chastened light which burns as safely in the
dry east wind as in the stillest atmosphere. Let
each l>ear the other’s burden the while— let each
Cultivate the mutual confidence, which is a gift
capable of increase and improvement—and soon it
will be found that kindliness will spring up on eve
ry side, displacing constitutional unsuitability, want
of mutual knowledge, even as we have seen sweet
violets and primroses dispelling the gloom of the
gray set-rocks.
Ei.oyrENCE.—The highest platform of eloquence
is the moral sentiment. It is what is ealled affir
mative truth, and has the property of invigorating
the hearer; and it conveys a hint of our eternity,
when he feels himself addressed on grounds that
will remain when everything else is taken, and
which have no trace of time, or place, or party.—
Everything hostile is stricken down in the presence
of the sentiments ; majesty is felt by the most ob
durate.—Loiveil.

A letter front an officer qf the Laired States
■steamer Sun Jacinto gives the following parlicpj us
of the capture ot die slaver jii.oriq'Kiiig, of. New
Vork j * . .
On the Bt!i of Angint at 2 o P, M. a sail to the
-uuthwcst was reportett from the rmtst-hcari, find
,ilu* f'an Jacinto was immediately steered in that
.lfteetioii, the vleamer being under steam vvirfr all
9-iils Carted. As soon us the Slaver saw ns, which
she did as soon as we s.tw her, she hauled in ail
tier steering sails and hauled up dose on a wind,
hoping we would wot be üble to catch her, as that
•vas her l*est point ot sailing, as ‘we afterwards as
certained. Hut It was no use, ns we tired up on all
our boilers-and crammed in the coalas fast as
shovels could do it, tire engineers doing their duty
admirably in the engine-room, as it was neeessurV
to carry a heavy press of steam to catch such a.
notoriously fast sailer as the Storm King is known
to be. About 5 I*. M. we gained sufficiently on
the chase to sec through our opera glasses (men-of
war use opera glasses in preference to all others) a
erowd of men on her quarter-deck, looking at ua
through their glasses, apparently unable to make
out who we were, as they had no knowledge of our
being on the coast.
All this time the slaver hoisted no colors ; so, as
we were pretty near them, we brought one of our
iVS-pounders to bear upon her and fired. As soon
as the booming of the gun had gradually died aw.ty,
like the final roll ot distant thunder, a low wail or
suppressed groan came wafted across the watere
towards us from the slaver, which in reality was a
shout of jov from the poor negroes imprisoned in
the slaver’s hold. The poor ereatures had heard
our gun and instinctively knew their deliverers
were at hand.
‘i he slaver still hoisted no colors, and showing
no disposition to heave to we ranged alongside and
: ordered her to heave instantly, when, from seeing
our battery manned, and bearing on her, she let
go her lee braces, running up in the wind,’ and
backed her topsails. We now lowered our boats
and tmarded the slaver, which we found filled with
negroes, whose joy on seeing the officers from our
ship cannot be described. They all looked up to
the sky, (a9 they have a God whom they call a b ! g
“ Gilley-Gilley,” and who they say lives there,) ana
beganjtoclap their hands, keeping admirable time,
simultaneously falling on their knees and chanting
an African song.
No prize-money could pay for the satisfaction
one felt in liberating so many human beings from
such a vile imprisonment. There were six hundred
and nineteen slaves on board—men, girlß, women,
and boys. I never saw human beings show such
gratitude as the poor things did to us.
The Storm King had left the coast only forty
eight hours before her capture, and the day before
had been chased by her Britannic Majesty’s steamer
Spitfire, which fired a number of shot at her, but
failed to bring her to or overtake her, and the ras
cal escaped fortunately to be taken the next day by
the San Jacinto.
Over Dressing. —The over-dressing of American
ladies in the streets, at the hotels, and in the
churches, is a subject of general remark among
the travelers from abroad, as well as sensible peo
ple at borne; though to little purpose, it would
seem, as at no period has the love of display been
more couspicuous in our country. American wo
men are slaves to dress; it is the bane of their
life, aye and of the male victims, too, whose lives
are connected with theirs. Traveling trunks, al
most as large as a small house, must be carried
about, filled with all sorts of finery, for a summer
jaunt to watering places, and for a winter visit to
a city. The father or husband vainly remonstrates;
Jounced dresses and crinoline must have simple
space, and there must he a variety, too, in tlie
costumes. “Heaven save the ladies how they
dress!’’ may we well exclaim. Why will they not
become more practical f Does the most fastidious
critic of female beauty admire a lady in full toi
lette more than a simple dress? ‘if heautifjl,
there is no need of ornaments ; if plain, she should
appear without pretension. We have known la
dies who have travelled through the continent of
Europe, with only a small trunk to contain their
wardrobe, and they found a wonderful relief in not
having “ too much to wear.”
An Old Citizen Cone!
We are pained to announce the decease of so
excellent a man as Jonathan Whiteside, Esq. who
died on Lookout Mountain, at the residence of
his son, W. B. Whiteside, onjSunday last. He was
about ninety years of age. He was afflicted with
a cancer oil bis throat which was the immediate
cause of his death. He was the father of Col. A.
Jas. and Dr. W. B. Whiteside. He carries with
him tohis grave t,he esteem of all who knew him.
it may not be inappropriate to mention here
the fact that Mr. Whiteside, when Sam. Houston
was a candidate for Govenor of Tennessee, and not
being a freeholder was constitutionally inelligible,
gave to the now illustrious hero a tract of land,
which qualified him to receive the office to which
lie was elected.— Chattanooga (Jarctle.
Town BnnNT.—Texas is not alone in the destruc.
tion of villages by fire. The Baton Rouge Gazetto
and Comet states that on Wednesday night a firo
broke out in the town of Port Hudson, in thn
Northern part of the parish, and the entire place
with the exception of one house, was reduced to
ashes.
The Hamburg, Ark., Reporter says that it was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary—or rather
a number of incendiaries—as the place was fired,
it is said, in some fifteen or twenty places at the
same time, making it impossible for the citizens
to arrest the progress of the flames until every
house was consumed.
Patriotic Sentiment.
In one of Mr. Bell’s latest speeches, we fined
the following patriotic sentiment, in which all men
ought to concur. “ Let power,” said Mr. Bell,
“go into whatever hands it may, let us save tho
Union! I trust the day will never come, when it
will be necessary to calculate the value of the
Union. Ido not believe it will come, if the South
is wise and true to herself. I would not have
her yield ore jot or tittle of her rights; but l
would have her make no questionable issues in ad
vance, stir up no strife upon abstract questions,
but do always what is just aud right upon all ques
tions.”
There is the calm ntterance of an honest man
and a noble patriot. Will not the people vote for
Bell in preference to the gentlemen of Kentucky ?
