Year wife may have many trials, wbieh, though of lew magnitude, may have been as hard to bear. A kind, conciliating word, n tender look, will do wonders in chasing from her brow all clonds of gloom. Yon encounter your difficulties iu the open air, fanned by heaven’s cool breeses; but your wife is often shut in from these healthfol influences, and her health foils, and her spirits lose their elas ticity. Bat oh! bear with her; she has trials and sorrows to which yon are a str inger, hot which year tenderness can deprive of all their anguish. Notice kindly her little attentions and efforts to promote your comfort. Do not tako them all ns n matter of course and pass them by, at the same time being very rare to observe nay omission of what yon may con sider duty to you. Do not treat her with in- difference, if you vronld not sear and palsy her heart, which, watered by kindness, would, to the latest day of her existence, throb with sin cere and eoastant affection. Sometimes yield your wishes to hers. She has preferences ss strong as you, ahd it may be just as trying to yield her ehoioe as to yon. Do yon think it hard to yield sometimss ? Think yonitudif- flealt for her to give up always t If yon nev er yield to her wishes there is danger that she will think yon are selfish, sad care only for rourself; and with sueh feelings she cannot ove as she might. Again, show yourself man* ly, so that your wife can look up to yon, and feel that yon will net nobly, and that she can eonfide in y oar judgment." Scolding is ran Pclfit.—The minister who habitually aeolds and raps the feelings of his church, ought to be converted to a milder course or leave his occupation for one where his de pravity will not do the misehief which it does in the pulpit. The following which was writ* ten by n friend to a minister conveys some use ful hints, and therefore we print it:—"No man was ever scolded oat of sins. The heart, cor rupt as it 1*^ and because it is so, grows angry if it be not treated with, management and good manners, and scolds again. A surly mastiff will bear perhaps to be poked, though he will growl even under the operation, bat if yon touch him roughly he will bite. There is no grace that the spirit of itself ean counterfeit with more sneresstbann religions zeaL A man thinks he is fighting for his own notions. He thinks that he is ektilftdly searching tbe hearts of others, when be is only gratifying the malignity of his own; and charitably supposes his hearer’s des titute of all grace that he may shine the more inhieown eyes by eomperison. When he has performed this noble task he wonders that they are not converted. "He has given it to them soundly, and if they do not tremble and confess that God is in them of a troth,"he gives them up as reprobate, incorrigible, and lost for ever. But a man that loves me, if he sees me in an error will pity me, and endeavor calmy to eonvinee me of it, and persuade me to forsake it. If be has great and good nows to tell me,, be will not do it angrily and in much heat and discomposure of spirit. It is. not therefore easy to conceive out of what ground a minister can justify a conduct which only proves that he does not understand his arraad- The absurdity of it would certainly strike him if he were not him self deluded.’’—Buffalo Ch. Advocate. Is the Pennsylvania Democracy Sound ?— Denouncing the American parly for disssensions and (burning to be the only national party, the Union, Enquirer, and other Pierce papers, stu diously ignore the proceedings of the Pennsyl vania Democracy. Will it ever be known in the South, through the medium of these papers, that the Nebraska-Kansas legislation has been repudiated by tbe Democracy of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled by the astounding ma jority of 89 to 19 ? We challenge these journals to justify tbe Democracy of Penn-ylvania accor ding to the rule wbieh they apply to the Ameir* lean Order. A correspondent of tbe National Era seems not without hopes of carrying off a share of tbe Abolition Democracy. He quotes the fact of their having repudiated tbe Douglas bill, and adds: .

That the ovil has en an increasing one, even beyond the com parative increase of population, no one will at tempt to deny; and that it has in a major de gree, owed that increase to the great influx of foreigners, may bo proven by a glance at the following synopsis, compiled from the most au thentic sources: The foreign population intbe United States in 1850, aa compared to tbe native, was nearly as one to ten, there being 21,947,274 natives, and 2,244,892 foreigners. The whole number of pau- 'pers supported, wholly or partially, tn the last mentioned year, was 134,792; and of this num ber 88,638 were of foreign birth, leaving hut 66,434 natives. In 1850, the number of paupers supported in the poor-houses of Massachusetts, and who re ceived partial support oat of doors, was 15,777 ; and of this number 6,530 were native, and 9,- 247 foreigners. In New York, the whole number was 59.855,-- and of these, 19,257 were natives, and 40,580 foreigners. In Pennsylvania, the whole number was 11- 531; and of these, 5,898 were natives, and 5,- 835 foreigners. In Rhode Island, tbe whole numder was 2,- 560; and of these, 1,115 were native, and 1,445 foreigners. In Connection^ the whole number of convic tions was 850; and of these, 545 were natives, and 305 foreigners. In Illinois, the whole number convicted was 310; and of these, 127 were natives, and 180 foreigners. In Maine, the whole nntnber convicted was 744; and of these, 284 were natives, and 460 1 foreigners. In Massaehnsetts, the whole number was 7,- 250; and of these, 3,336 were natives, and 3,- 884 foreigners. In Missouri, there were 908 convictions; and of these. 242 were natives, and 666 foreigners. In New York, the number of convictions was 13,379; and of these 3,062 were natives 9,317 foreigners. In Pennsylvania, the number of convictions was 857; and of these, 504 were natives, and 293 foreigners. In Vermont, tho number convicted was 79; of whom 34 were natives and 45 foreigners By a table published in the Compendium of the Seventh Census, giving the number of con victs in the prisons and Penitentiaries of the several States, out of every ten thousand of the population, the proportion of natives aod for eigners in that number is as follows: In Maine, oat of every ten thousand, are five foreigners to one native. In Kentucky, six to one. In Mississippi, ten to two. In New York three to one. In Tennessee, fifteen to two. In Vermont, eight to one. In South Carolloa, twenty-eight to one. In Alabama, fifty to one. In Georgia, six to one* In Indiana, four to one; and the average in all the States is a frac tion less than six to one. For capital offences, out of two hundred-and twenty eonyietions, which took place in about eighteen months, iu seven States, viz: in New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Louisiana, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Maryland, there were one hundred and thirty-eight of foreigners to eighty-two of natives. Bangers of Life Human life is a sort of gossamer thread, frail, and brittle, even to a proverb. And amid the thousand dangers to which it is exposed, over the rough-and-tumble of its brief and rapid journey across time’s narrow isthmus, it is al most a miracle that it holds on a year. Strange that a harp of thousand strings Should keep in tone so long. The invisible hand of the Great Architect alone could keep the beantiul and complicated machinery of the human frame in harmonious motion for a single day. And yet what multi tudes daily and hourly forget «the hand that sustains and protects them amid those visible and invisible dangers. Not anfrequently tbe wheels of this wondrous machine get out of or* der from furious and intemperate driving of some sort, and then the wheels go whizzing and bnzzing till reason totters on its throne, or their slow, sluggish movement gives indication of a final collapse. The whole structure feels the shock, and it requires all of nature’s recupera tive influence, aided by the skill of the materia medico, to restore it to healthful and vigorous action. Bat the strongest thing of all is, that he who dwells in and conducts the movement of this beautiful and wonderful machine, has no more sense of dependence, and no more feeling of gratitude to Him whose inspiration sends dai ly and hourly the warm currents through all its channels, giving it life and health, and vigor of motion. We hold onr existence, says a fine writer, at the mercy of the elements; tbe life of man is a state of continual vigilance against their war- fore. The heats of noon would wither him like the severed herb; tbe chills and dews of night would fill bis limbs with paio; the winter frost wonid extinguish life in an boar; tho hail would smite him to death, did he not seek shelter and protection against them. His clothing is the perpetual armor he wears for bis defence, and his dwelling the fortress to which he retreats for safety. Yet even there tbe elements attack him; the winds overthrow bis habitation; tbe waters sweep it away. The fire that warmed and brightened it within, seizes its walls, and consumes it, with his wretched family. The earth, where she seems to spread a paradise for bis abode, sends up death in exhalations from her bosom; and the heavens dart down light nings to destroy him. The drought consumes the harvest on which he relied for, sustenance; or the rains cause the green corn to "rot ere its youth attains a beard.” A sodden blast engulfs him in the Waters of the lake or bay from which he seeks bis food; a false step or a broken twig, precipitates bitn from the tree which he had climbed.for its fruits j-oaks falling in the storm, rooks topKng down from tbe precipices, are so many dangers which beset bis life. Even his ereet attitude is a continual affront to the great law of gravitation, which is sometimes fatally avenged when be looses the balance preserved by constant care, and falls on a hard surface.— The various arts on which he relieB for protec tion from the unkindness of the elements, be tray him to the fate be would avoid, in some moment of negligence, or by some misdirection of skill and he perishes miserably) by bis owu inventions. Amid these various causes of acci. dental death, which thus surround us every mo ment, it is only wonderful that their proper ef- fect is notoftener producedso admirably has the Former of the universe adapted tbe faculties by wbied man provides for his safety, to tbe per ils of the condition in which he is placed.—Ex change.

Rohe, April 27, 1851. Mr Dear Sir :—I was much pleased to learn that you woro still faithful to the principles that governed and controlled ancient democracy, and had not forgotten the Iosson taught us by Jock- son in tbe days of South Carolina nullification. The position of some men of Georgia, once the leaders of the Union Democrats, is a subject of surprise end astonishment. Gov. Towns, Gov. MoDonaid, and my old and estoemad un cle, Gov. Lumpkin in tho days of the nullifica tion, were our standard benrers in the contest that was at that time waged between the friends and enemies of the Union; and Gen Jackson, I know, reposed implicit confidence in all of them, in that fearful crisis, brought about by Mr. Cal houn and the personal enemies of Gen. Jack- son. And I have much reason to believe that the disaffection in Carolina and Georgia towards tho Government of tbo United States, which originated at that time, has never ceased to this good hour. And it has been concealed only to give its advocates position and influence to ef fect, ultimately, their purposes and designs. I was aware thnt Mr. Colquitt, Cooper, Black Jones, and others who left the whig party and joined the democrats, did not give up a single political principle, and I have known them time and again to maintain their consistency at tbe expense of the feelings and principles of tboir Union supporters. I expected that they, and all whe agreed with them that ’‘Nullification” was the "rightful remedy would be eager to unite with uny party, or even faction that would raise the cry of se cession or disunion. And if you will look over the list of your acquaintances in Georgia, I ven taro to assert the fuct, you cannot find an old Nullifier who united with the democrats in 1840, when the whig party was organized originally, who is not a Southern Rights wan, and for se cession—I was prepared for this, but I was not prepared to see men who bad grown gray in professing devotion to the Union, at once aban don it, with all the glories of the past, and all the promises of the future. In this country you may rest assured thnt a largo majority of the people will sustain the Union party and the great measure that this party organization was intended to accomplish. They will not abandon the cause of the Union or that organization formed at MiHedgevillo in December last, for any canse whatever. They neither regard the suggestions of the Columbus Times on the one hand, nor the Federal Union on the other. The position of the one they regard as factious, if not fanatical while they despise the hypocritic al cant of the othor while he seeks to cover his ill concealed design under professions of attach ment to tbe Democratic party. I am glad that tbe party in Georgia which fostered such rep tiles has been broken up. The principles of the party suffered, always, when confined to the keeping of such men. These principles I hope and believe will still lire when such men are forgotten. Yours truly, JOHN H. LUMPKIN. 1 Origin of the American Party. Wo have seen at different times vnrious ac counts, pretending to be authentic, of the ori gin of the "American,” or "Know Nothing” party, but none of them which appeared so probable, or were from such a reliable and authentic sonree, os the following, which was communicated by tho Hon. Stepen Adams, United States Senator from Mississippi, to the editor of the Memphis Enquirer. Mr. Adams is a Democrat, and a man of unimpeachable character for veracity. Mr. A. informed the editor: 1st—It is unqualifiedly false that E. Z. C. Judson, commonly called "Ned Buntline,” had any thing to do with the organization of what is known ns the "Know Nothing” or American party. The organization of which that notorious person was the founder, was a military one at Boston, unconnected with tho political parties of this country. Secor d—It is unqualifiedly false that tho Know Nothings bad their origin at the North. They organized their first Councils (or Wig wams) in Baltimore—a Southern city—under the following circumstancss: Just before an election there two years ago (or thereabouts) the leaders (or one of them) of the foreigners and Roman Catholics, went to the leader of one of tbe political parties—the candidate for Mayor—and offered to give him the whole foreign and Catholic vote, provided he would bind himself to appoint certain individuals to office, after his election, a list of whose names, and of the offices desired for, was furnished. Tho candidate refared to make any such cor rupt bargain—-and sure enough, he was beaten by bis opponent. After the inauguration of the successful candidate, it was observed that all or nearly all of the persons whose names were on the aforesaid list, were appointed to the offices therein specified! Intelligence of these facts spread like wildfire through tbe city. They were investigated and found to be too true; and resulted in arousing the native Amer ican sentiment of tho Baltimoreans to fever heat, and in the birth and organization of the so-called “ Know Nothings.” "This statement,” remarks the Enquirer, "is vouched for by as reliable and truthful a gen tleman ns there is in tho South—Hon. Stephen Adams, Democratic Senator from tbe State of Mississippi.” We of course are wholly ignorant of the facts stated by Mr. A., and only give them as apart of the history of ti-e times, vouched for by a gentleman (a Dememocrat) of high character, who occupies a high official position in his State. Xt is therefore altogether more reliable than any other account we have seen of the origin of the party. Wo may add, it bears tho impress of truth upon its face, for it furnishes tho cause for the astonishing and unparalleled effects produced.—Chronicle & Sentinel. Abolition Testimony.—Tho National Era— tho great Metropolitan Abolition paper—thus spoaks of the Know Nothings and tho necessity of putting them down—regarding them ns tho only obstacle in the way of a speedy and com plete Abolition triumph. "We shall make no apology for giving line dnd precept upon precept on tho subjeet of Know Nothingism. Others may do as they please- speculate, dream, expect drift, cry "all’s well;” call us captious, suspicious, or intermed dler: plume themselves upon their masterly inactivity,” and issue weekly bulletins, anoun* cing that the danger has passed; they always said so, things have turned out just ns they pre dicted: we must judge ami act for ourselves. “Tho honest friends oT freedom must put down Know Nothingism, or Know Nothingism will put them down. The Free States must reject Know Nothingism, or Know Nothingism will irretrieveably divide them, and place them undor tho bool of this slave Power. We are in earnest, and we intend to make our readers feel in earnest, if we can. Wo bavo novorexp.ee- ted any good from tho Secret Order.” The Last and Worst.—Why is Stringfel- low like fine print ?

A Classical Extravaganza.—A gentle man on being told that his wife had mnde him tbo happy father of two children, mechanically exclaimed, "O Gemini!’’ EcoNOMV.—Economy is tho art of drawing in ns much as one can, but, unfortunately, young ladies will apply this "drawing in” to thoir own bodies when they wish to avoid any thing like a "waist” Lafayette on tbe Pope. In the Frenoh Chambers, in February, 1831, Lafayette, in an animated speeeh, speaks thus: " I have now nn opportunity of alluding to what has transpired in Italy. * * * I shall confine myself to recent events. "The government may have reposed confi dence in the infallibility of the Holy 8ee; but I have no hesitation in affirming that the Holy See has departed from the truth, when it pre tended that it granted certain rights to the in habitants of Romagnan. “This is not the case; the inhabitants of the Roman States have not hod granted to them what they possessed previously to the Congress of Vienna, but have been deceived by the prom isee which were made to them—promises which have been totally disregarded. "New judges, they say, have been nomina ted : but let us suppose that under the domin ion of a despotie government, their decisions can be sound, which I do not believe possible, have not the Inquisition and every other species of deception and vengeance been suffered to ex ist? ♦ * * "jl am happy to think that onr government will regret having been deceived by the Court of Borne, but how can I rely on the success of its steps near that court, when I see that the promises of liberating the prisoners brought to Venice through the means of Austrian Piracy, have not yet been carried into effect, and that they are still incarcerated in Venice? But, hold, I am deceived, for fifteen of thorn have just been sent to Milan to be tried by a special commission, and, gentlemen, you all know what special commissions are at Milan.”—Sar- ran, Vol., II., pp. 238, 289, New York Edition, 1832. Harper and Bmtuers. In the citations made by Prof. Morse in his letter to Bishop Spalding, published last week, there was nothing more decisive than this to show that Lafayette held the Pope and his priesthood in sovereign contempt, and that be was very likely to give utterance to the senti ment which has been so clearly proved to be his, viz: "If ever the liberty of the United S ates is destroyed, it will be by Romish priests.”—N. Y. Observer. THE GREAT PKI1CIPLES AKD LAWS OF THE PAPAL CHURCH. Axtiamf.rican Patriotism.—There is one thing which the Anti-American organs should remember. They should remember that in all their violent denunciation and vituperation of large majority of all the people bom and reared in the United States. They should bear in mind, that, when they call the members of the Amer ican party “bats”, "owls”, “liars”, “peijurere”, "traitors”, cowards” and “villian”, they are ap plying those terms to by far the greater portion of the eons of the soil of thie country. We think it high time for the respectable members of the Anti-American party to pause in their mad career. If they believe what their organs say and what they encourage their organs in saying, if they believe that by for the greater part of the men born and reared in the United States are vile and degraded wretch es, they ought to blush for their country. If it is true, that the most of the native born citi zens are bats, owls, peijurers, traitors, and every other infamous thing, and if our nation is made respectable only by the constant pour ing of stroog German and Irish tides into our population, all decent men in onr land would do well to emigrate to some region where truth and virtue and dececy are of indiginous growth.—Louisville Journal- From the canon law of the Roman Chnrch we extract the following dogmas and doctrines.- They have been sanctioned by tbe decrees of Councils, the hulls of Popes, and tbe teachings of the “Holy Fathers; and they are acknowled ged by every good Catholic, no matter under what Government be may live. Most of these doginas are inconsistent with democracy and republicanism, and if allowed to domineer in a free eonntry, will soon cheek the growth of nntrammelled opinions and under mine the foundations of republicanism. We ask the espicial attention of our Southern friends to these articles :—Ex- 1. All men are subject to the Pope according to divine right. 2. The Pope judges- all, but is judged by none. 3. Whatever the Pope orders dare not be con tradicted. 4. The canons ore equal in authority to holy writ. 5. The laws of prinoes are suboridnate to the ecclesiastical. 6.

As I oft muse, sad and weary, Weary of this wreatched life— Thinking of the world s> dreary, Drenry in its bitter strife ; Sad and lonely thoughts confonnd me, Till to me it seems I hear Gentle voices all around me, Softly singing ‘'Persevere 1” Then my soul no longer gloomy, Lightens with their joyons song, Till the world looks brighter to me, And life’s journey not so long. Climber op Fame’s craggy steep, Through the voyage never fear, But thy conrage always keep, Angels whisper "Persevere!” Of course not.—Young ladies should never object to being kissed by Printers: they should make every allowance for the freedom of the Press ! The seige at Sebastopol is said to resemble a fashionable story, because none can tell how long it is “ to be continued.” The Sir Francis Drake steamer sailed lost week from Jersey with at least eighty emigrants for tbe Salt Lake. Never, perhaps, did a drake s* im in company with so many geese! Girls who ’aint handsome, hate those who are; while those who are handsome, hate one another. Which class has the best time of it? Some men are oourageons, and some are not; but we ehould like to see the man who would deliberately allow a woman to catch him ma* king mouths at her baby. Eat sparingly, and defy the physician. The discontented man finds no easy chair. When does a eow make good meat ? When it’s (s) potted. Room-attic paines.—Those belonging to a garret window. What kind of a doctor would a duck make? A quack doctor. Servo every one as mneh as you ean, and compete with no one more than you must. It is a noble species of revenge to have the power of retaliation and not to exercise it. Those who blow the coals of others’ strife, may chance to have the sparks fly in their own fuee. Served him right.—The gentleman who kissed a lady.s " snowy brow” caught a severe cold, and has been laid up ever since. We always consider life as a fairy tale, in which every good action must be rewarded by a visible wonder. A student at Trinity College, Dublin, upon being asked, at tho last examination what were the symbols of war, replied unhesitatingly, "Them tin things that the black man used to play with the big drum.” A young lady found one day reading a novel, was asked by a gentleman bow she liked the style? Reviewing the incidents in her memo ry, she replied, "The style?.the style?—Oh, Sir! I am not oome to that yet.” A witness in eoutt being asked if he had ever beard that Mrs. Wilkins was a naturalist, said he understood sho had ten children 1 “ If that doesn’t constitute her a naturalnlist,” ex claimed the witness, "then I should like to know what docs?” A trout has lately died in Bloekly which lived in a gardon pool for eighteen years, and was twenty years of ago.

A New Destructive Bomb-Shell.—A num ber of our cotemporaries state that Prof. An derson, formerly of the Clinton Institute, has invented a new destructive shell, which can soon wrap any fortification in flames, and de stroy any eity in fifteen minutes. From the description of it, Sebastopol will soon. he no where, When it is fired and strikes, it sebds np a large sheet of flame, which burns with great intensity for a considerable period. It appears to be a shell filled with combustible materials, such as turpentine, rosin, and chlo rate of potash, ignited much in the same way as'the explosive shells of Mr- Hubbell, of Phil adelphia.

I rejoice that they adopted a platform which expelled front their body all.the noxious elements of freesoll- ism and abolitionism; that, in fine, they adopted a platform; so far as the slavery question is concerned, ae good and as sound as the SoHiA needs, or as Southern Democrats in the Natur al Convention to be held next year will demand and insist upon." An Incident from Experience in School-Tea ching.—One day I saw a little fellow with his arms aboat a little witch of a girl, endeavoring, if I interpreted the manifestations right, to kiss her. “Tommy,” said I, “what are yon doing there ?” “Nothin,’ sir,” spoke the bright eyed little witch ; be wath tryin’ to kith me, that be wath, tbur.” and eyed him keenly. "Why, Lucy, what prompted him to act s.o ungentlemanly right here in school ?” I asked, anticipating some fun. "Oh! he bitched np here, and thed he wan r ted me to kith him, and I told him that I wouldn’t kith thuch a thumpthv. boy ath he ith; then he thed he’d kith me, and I told him that he dathn’t but he thed he would do it, and I told him I would tell the mathter if he did. but he thed he didn’t care A thn&p for the mathter, and then tried to kith me tho hard,” and the little thing sighed.
