4he pIeasantest part Of a mans Iiie is
generally that which passes in courtship,
provided his passion is sincere, and the
party beloved kind with discretion.
Much of the severity on singular dress or
new fashions, 10 which our eyes have never
been accustomed, arises from narrowness
Of thinking, and from prejudice. So long
as dress answers the purpose. If decent
covering, and warm clothing, the orna-
ment OF it may be safely left to the disrce-
tien Of the female wearer.

The Senate were principally engaged
yesterday in discussing the provision OF the
bill 10 change the present system for the
disposition of the Public Lands. The yeas
and nays were taken no less than seren
times on various propositions 10 amend
the bill all which shall be hereaiterstated.
The bill was finally ordered TO be engross.
ed for third reading. by an unusually
large majority, embracing the following
highly important principle: That from and
after The first Of July, 1920. the minimum
price Of the public lands shall he one dol
lar and fifty cents per acre, and that no
credit shall be given Cor the purchase mo-
ney, or any part ufit. The bill also pro-

Hornet from Elsineur. We proceeded
thence to Copenhagen, and remained ill
Mr.. Campbell finished his business with
the Court OF Denmark. The principal
part of which was this: The King had ask
ed of our government the reason for not
maintaining Minister at his court. which,
it seems, has been deemed inexpedient, OH
no other ground than that the intercourse
between>the two countries was considered
too unimportant 10 require it. 1t was how
ever deemed eapedient TO make this eA-
PLANTATION in as respectful manner as was
convenient; for which reason, Mr.. Camp
bell was directed to do 1t on his Way to
Petersburg. He was graciously received
by the King and Mr.. Roseu. rantz The prime
minister, aud treated in manner suspect,
rather fattering to his feelings. Our three
days detention here gave me favorable
opportunity TO see this capital; but as it
contains few objects Of interest, particu-
lar description could hardly be acceptable.
| can, however, say, that its magnitude and
splendor arr aboat suitable for Inc capital
of Denmark. The principal objects of Gu
tiosiy are two or three very elegant eques-
TRAN statues in bronze, and an observatory
about 100 feet high, connected with
church. to the top of which leads wind
ing passage, so large and firmly built that
horse and gig have been driven TO the
summit and back with safety. The Kings
palace unlike that of many other monarchs
is reasonably splendid bis gardens rather
too expensive and if there be any thing
very extravagant, it is that of keeping in
the city hundred of the best horses that
can be procured in the Kingdom, merely
to alnusr himself with their prancing The
King IS, however, very popular with his
subjects. and attentive TO their interest
His prime minister, who las great infu-
encc over hlm, is possessed Of superior la

Denmark you know was exceedingly

mention, that captain in the army is al

Made fairest empires drear and desolate---
