Ting of the young men of that city, called
together for the purpose of considering
why so many Of the fair are afflicted with
feeble health and have pale faces. The
unanimous decision Of the meeting was,
that these effects were produced by waring

TO have nothing to do with any young lady
who is in the habit Of wearing "women.

appointed. whose duty it is to ascertain
this fact before any of the members pop

THE MECHANIC Kirby, the young &C.
tor, in the play Of the Carpenter of Rou-
en-, gives the following excellent senti-
ment, which always brings down three
rounds of applause:
The Mechanic, sir, is one of Gods NO.
BLEMEN. What have Mechanics not
done
Have they not opened the secret cham
bers Of the mighty deep, and extracted its
treasures, ana made the raging pillows
their highway. on which they ride as on
a tame steed! Are not the elements of
fire and water chained to the crank, and
at ,hs mechanics bidding compelled to
turn it? Have not Mechanics opened the
bowels of the earth, and made its products
contribute to their wants! The forked
lightning is their play.hing: and they
ride triumphant on the mighty winds. TO
the wise they are food gates Of knowl>
edge. and kings and princes ate decorated
with their handiwork who made the
universe, was great Mechanic.

NOW IND WIEN TO WOO
BIZ WIN. CULLEN BRYANT.
Dost thou idly ask to hear
At what gentle seasons,
Nymphs relent when lovers near,
Press the tendcrest passions!
All, they give their faith too oft,
To the careless wooer;
Maiden's hearts are always soft;
Would that mems were truer!
Woo the fair one when around
Early birds are singing;
When, Ger all the fragrant ground,
Early herbs are springing;
When the brookside, bank, and grove,
All with blossoms laden,
Shine with Beauty, breath of love-
Woo the timid maiden.
Woo her when with rosy blush,
Summer eve is sinking;
When on rills that softly gush,
Stars are softly winking;
When thro' boughs that knit the bower,
Moonlight CLEANS are stealing;
Woo her, till the gentle hour
Wakes gentler feeling.
Woo her, when autumnal dyes
Tlnge the woody mountain;
When the dropping foliage lies
In the halfchoked fountain
BY the scene that tells how fast
Youth is passing over,
Warn her, ere her bloom is past,
To secure her lover.
Woo her, when the north winds COLL
At the lattice nightly;
When, within the cheerful hall,
Blaze the faggots brightly;
While the wintry tempest round,
Sweeps the landscape hoary,
Sweeter in her ear shall
Loves delightful story.

We know not when we have pursued
a more touching and beautiful little story
than the following from the Hartford Cou-
rant:
1t was bnt yesterday that friend a
young gentlemen of fine intellect, Of no
BILE heart, and one we'll known to many of
our readers, was suddenly snalched by the
hand of death from all The endearments of
life. Surrounded by every thing that
could make existence pleasant and happy
"a wife that idolzed him--children that
loved him-and friends devoted to him
the summons came, anu he lay upon the
bed of death. But few short years ago,
she to whom he was welded, placed bri
dial ring upon his finger, upon the inside
of which he had a few worde privately en-
craven. The husband would never per-
nit the giver to read them, telling her
that the day would come when her wish
should be gratifed, and she should know
the secret. Seven years have glided away,
and day or two since, when conscious
that he must soon leave his wife forever,
he called her to his bedside, and with his
dying accents told her that the hour had
at last come when she should see the
words upon the ring she had given him.
The young mother took it from his
cold finger, and. though hear,-strcken
with grief, eagerly read these words-"I
haze loved Thee on earth, / wiN meet thee
IN Heouen,"

BISHOP OF DETROIT.

BISHOP OF DETROIT.
An absurd tale regarding the Roman
Inqusi,ion and the Bishop Of Detroit has
appeared in some Of the daily papers on
The authority Of an Italian. who IS stated
to be Catholic Priest but who, although
he is said to pass himself off as such, has
never received any sacred orders in the
Catholic Church.
The present writer has seen Bishop
Reese publicly in the streets of Rome, and
at that time he resided in the convent
attached to the. Church of San Lorenzo, in
Lucina where we are confident, he yet
continues; as we have, few months
since, seen his name meution ID in the
Tablet, as officiating prelale at the obse-
quies Of the late princess Borghees in that
church. So utterly untrue is it that he is
or ever was inc arcerated for the purpose
of procuring his resignation. that he him.
self voluntarily rendered his resignation.
of his diocess, above four years ago. while
yet in this country-which the Holy See
then declined to accept.
The resignation of DR.. REESE, was how
ever, subsequently, accepted of, aud the
Rev. Mr.. Odin. Of the congregation of the
Mission, appointed to take his place at
Detroit, as was announced in our columns
several months ago, On the return of this
latter gentleman from Texas, where, at
the time Of his appointment, he was en-
gagged III the labors of his ministry, the
Bishop of New Orleans handed him the
Papal bills appointing him to the vacant
post. We regret to learn this venerable
apostolic ecclesiastic has declined 10 &C.
cept the nomination.
So much for the mischievious calum-
MES Of those imposters who well know
what best suits the palates for which they
cater.
Since the above has been sent to press,
we learn from gentleman in this city.
that he has recently seen a letter from
Dr. REESE, to the Rev. Mr.. Odin requests
ing him 10 accept the diocess Of Detroit.
There is also young gentleman in the
city who has just returned from Rome,
and saw DR.. REESE publicly in the streets
Of Rome.
