the proper place and time. He was expa-
tating at the moment on the power and
sovereignty of Divine grace. With gather
ing force and earnestness he told Of the un-
likely objects it had chosen, and the unlocked
for trinmphs it had often achieved. As he
rose to the climax of his aspiring theme, and
when in the full sweep of his eloquence, he
suddenly paused, and turning round, and point

ed IN tone of deep thrilling pathos-" SEVEN

struck the scoffer to the heart and realized in
his conversion the glorious truth conveyed

CONGRESS, Jan. l2.-In the Senate, during the
day, Mr.. Crittenden gave notice that on Thurs
day next, he should call up the Bill to estab-
lish uniform Bankruptcy. Many were anx-
ious for the consideration of this measure, and
he hoped the Senate would consent to con-
slider it at that time, at least in the way of be-
ginning.
Mr.. Calhoun addressed the Senate on the
Presumption Bill. He appealed to the Sen
ators Of the New States to vote for his bill,
graduating the price, beginning with 81 20
per acre, and closing at l22 cents.
Mr.. Criuenden defended his proposition of
distribution.
Mr.. Benton again advanced his positions
against distribution.
In the House, Mr.. Green of Kentucky intro
duced resolution instructing the Committee
of Ways and Means to report a Bill laying q
tax upon wines and silks Objected to by

CONFIDENCE OF WOMAN.

The fairest and brightest trait in the charac-
ter of woman, is yet the greatest source of
her sorrows and ruin. There is nothing more
pure, more holy, than that instructive, con-
hding spirit, which leads fair young girl t"
pour out the treasures of her innocent heart
at the feet of one whom her soul loves, and
who, to her, is all that is good, upright and
honorable. The heart of woman is ever pl one
TO love; and, in spite of every warning which
may arise around her, she will cast down her
all and bid him whom she loves to take it, for
from him she breads no harm. 1t is the per-
vading, government feeling of a woman'S
heart She must have some one to love, some
one to confde in, to look up to, and when she
once pours out the garnered treasures OF her
affections upon an object no time, no sorrow,
no blighting of hopes nor frowns of the world
can root out the pure and holy impulse, but 1t
nestles within the most secret recess OF the
heart and abides there till death. How often
is the soul panied and the rock of feeling struck
until the waters of pity guSh freely forth, to
sec some young spirit bowling in all the simple
hearted purity and confidence of an innocent
mind, at some earthly shrine OF clay, which
the fancy had decked and ornamented with all
that was virtuous and good, when the gush OF
love had blinded the Judgment, and hidden
''NOiA
her forever And when the fell truth came
stealing darkly upon her and the iron entered
her soul with all its CHASTITY pictures and with.
ering thoughts, how true how fatally true did
she yet turn, and through veal and woe
through vice and shame, cling with the desper
alton of womans love to him who was all un
worthy Of a sentiment so near angelic. AND
then the WORLD the fastidious, perfection exact
ing world looks coldly on and cares not for the
agony of spirit broken and pershlng; bu
its finger is raised and another shaft sped into
that bleeding bosom, while with prudish tongue
it recountS all which should be forgotten, yet
forgets all that should be remembered. There
is none of the mildness of mercy, nothing o
pity or of palliation in the worlds judgment
but with unsparing lash it drives the poor SUI
ferer, betrayed by the best feelings of her ma
ture deeper down into the abyss of grief, anC
chains her there until the grave gives hel
spirit freedom once more. This is no owe
wrought picture, no wandering of the fancy
but it is a sorrowful truth, one that ought to b.
true no longer. We see such cases amoS
daily, and he must be worse than a brute wh
can regard them without emotion. Love, IN
deed, is the fairest and hottest sentiment OF
| %OMans heart. Ii was designed to bless
"uI alas how often does it prove sorrow

WHAT CHANGES DO COME OVER Us.--Durlng
the entire Presidential contest, the Democratic
papers, from one end of the Union to the other,
were eternally prating about the 'non COM
initial candidate" No body could tell what
Gen. Harrison, if elected, would do, because
he would not express any opinion, or give
any promise. No sooner, however, was ne
elected, than all of them knew every leading
measure of his administration, during his en-
tire four years. One knows that Mr.. Crit
tenden is TO be Attorney General, one knows
that Mr.. Webster is to be Secretary of State,
and the Richmod Enquirer has actually given
us his entire cabinet. One informs US, that we
are to have bank of $l00,0O0,OOO; one OF
75,00O,OOO, and one $50.OOO,OOO: one in
forms us that it is to be in one place, and an
other, in another In short, no sooner is the
contest over than the veil is raised, and the
democrats know more of the matter than any
of the wings. and, we strong y suspect than
the President elect, himself. . a..
