: Why werc the Human Race created
Male and Female 3-Those who have stud
led the phenomena Of electricity will per-
ceive that the race could not have been cree
ated in any other manner without being an
exception to the universal scheme of crea-
ton to the one law which embraces all
things, whether Of spiritual or material
kind. That law is attraction. Every thing
in the world may be claSsed under the head
of male and female, which words are plilo-
sophicalIy to be understood as signit, ing
positive and negative states of electricity,
and which, by a reciprocal action on each
other by attraction and repulsion, which are
but operations Of wisdom and love materi-
allied, if we may so speak, produce all the
obvions and mysterious results with which
the world spiritually and materially abounds.
The passion of love, which is of all the pas
sons most potential, is irresistabIy drawn af.
ter the object which attracts it, and is beau
tifully illustrated by simple electrical ex-
pertinent. Its specific duty is the procrea-
ton of offspring, and when in union with
wisdom, il accompllshes its destiny with at
tendant feicuies, and is crowned with i'm
mortal honors. Love is the Telemachus Of
the human sou, wisdom is its Mentor. Love,
then, being the master passion of the human
soul, it should be the chief study of man to
provide for Its proper qualification, for it ever
will be gratifed, as every master will ever
insist on being obeyed. The present age is
characterized as being an age of restraints.
Its whole time seems to be engrossed in the
absurd practice of restraining all the pas
SONS of the soul, instead of advancing tow
ards an era of pure passionless felicity. The
freedom of the universal soul of man can
only be achieved by such felicity of the
material world, and such division of IFS
wealth, which is to the independence of the
soul what the atmosphere is TO his body, as
will render man subject to no influence hut
that of attraction, which attraction, the man
having become free and enlightened, can by
no possibility swerve him from the path OF
honor and duty. Hence then we need not
hope for peace and purity until the earth
and man shall bring forth plentiiuly, and
justice shall be done in the division of
wealth to all men. Then will love and du-
~ abound-then will be the millennium

IDLE DAUGuTERs.-It is, says Mrs. Ellis

IDLE DAUGuTERs.-It is, says Mrs. Ellis,
IA most painful spectacle in families where
the mother is the drudge, to see the daugh-
tc.s elegantly dressed. reclining at their ease,
will, their drawing, their music, their fancy
work, and their reading; beguiling them
selves Of the lapse of Lours, days, and weeks,
and never dreaming of their responsibilities
or their duty. These individuals will often
tell you with an air of affected compassion
for who can believe it real ?-that "poor
dear mamma is working herself to DEATH"
Yet no sooner do you propose that they
should assist her, than they declare she is
quite in her clemcnt-in short, that she
would never be happy if she had only hall
as much to do.

A DUEL.-We have already mentioned
the death. IN duel, of a young midshipman
in the Texan Navy. The New Orleans
Tropic notices, with becoming censure, the
practice of duelling, and adds the following
letter, found in the pocket Of CUP. after his
death ~. Y. Sun.
Thoughts before Fighting a Duel. -Can
any one 81, down, and cooIly and calmly
think on death, without thrill vibrating ev-
cry nerve? To think that only few, very
few moments may elapse, before his immor-
tai soul will be winging its flight to worlds
unknown, and knows not whether it will take
its place amidst bright throng of angels, or
drag its weary way to the dark and fiery
abyss prepared for such as | My God =
Such thoughts are enough to rack the soul,
and make the stoucst nerves quail To
bring the naughty and proud to their knees,
and in humble penitence and supplication
ask forgiveness of the God who made them
am morally and relgiously opposed to du-
cling. 1t does not prove that one is gen.
tlcman, or a brave man, neither does it give
satisfaction of an insult; for to receive an
insult, and a ball also, is very poor satisfac-
ton TO man Of feeling and honor. Almost
any man can raise ply steal courage enough
to fight duel, but few, alas too few, are
possessed Of moral courage sufficient to stem
the tide Of public scorn, and walk cree,
through the myriads of Misses spit out by
those who are too low in the scale Of virtue
and morality to respect 1t any shape.
trust and pray that the public will not con.
denim the course that have pursued. There
are situations, times, and occasions, wher
men must act with boldness and firmness, &c
command respect from those with whom
they are thrown, and sincerely trust tina
God will forgive me for the course | have
pursued. FIELDING r. GULF.

A JoKE.-lf the tone of the Tory journ-
ais may be relied on, we should infer thai,
the administration of Sir Charles Bagot,
Gov. Gen. of Canada. is of the most liberal
character. In the recent commissions issu-
ed for several districts, appointing magis-
,rates Justices of the peace) several persons
have been honored who were imprisoned du-
ring the rebellion for high treason. This is
certainly most favorable omen, and we
most sincerely hope the tendency OF this
"new arrangement" so wisely resolved upon,
may be successful in restoring that good feel
ing and harmony among the inhabitants so
much to be desired. But we have our fears
of the result. There is an old adage, ",hal
too much Of a good thing is good for moth
ing" and we notice a charge in some of the
papers, not the most favorably disposed to-
wards the present policy of Sir Charles Bag
OF, that in his hurry to reward the radical
population, he has actually commissioned one
magistrate, who was hung for rebeHion.-
This is little too big moulhful-but We
believe it, because the editor of the Cobure
Star says it is true.-N. Y. Sun.

From the Newark Sentinel.
THE SLAVERY OF "FREEMEN."
Had a voice of trumpet tone,
Or thunGcr's rafting peal
My countrymen frem zone TO zone
The Truth should hear and feel
Scourge me the scrbbling scounjrel hound,
The lying hirein lash,
Who spits his poisonous SLAYER round,
And sells his soul ior cash.
1t males me laugh to hear knavs
OF honour talk, and right,
Or see Mississippi slave
For the same honor fight.
The Patriot is o. solete,
Mans soul is not his own;
All must the general mandate meet,
Or NEE, the general frown.
The bigot wretch his prey pursues
Beyond the churche pale;
In politics once more renews
TIL expiring fires of hell.
We boast we're FIR emen, so we are;
The La,r proclaims us men;
But then Opinion, mighter far,
Soon makes US slaves again.
From him. who rides on Party's wave
Down to my lady's man,
The most ohsequious supple slave
Is your American.
He dares not rote, he darcs mol dress,
He darcs not 'rorShip God,
Blu, just as Fashion, or the Press,
Or Bishsp gives the nod.
We learn the mighty Dead to praise
OfGrsek and Roman name,
But flames of persecution raise
'Ganst kindred firing flame.
For shame, arouse the sinking State
Demands Patriots rule;
Mgratitude repudintc,
But pay your debts in full.

to grow cotton and coffee. For those pro-
ducts they want in exchange timber and
flour, with which they are already supplied
TO considerable extent by the British csiab-
lishments in Oregon, and might be TO any
amount were there only hands to cultivate
the soil. Then there is the vast fur trade
with China and the East Indies, to which
We need only alludc.
Were Oregon barren rock like St. He
lena, il would still be valuable as depot for
our extensive commerce in the Pacific
But it has great resources within itself. 1t
ahounds in the raw materials Of commerce,
and is adapted to almost every variety of
productive labor. The farmer, the grazier
in its limits, and while they are enrching
themselves, be constantly developing the ca
pabilities of the country. We say the man
ufacturcr, and this reminds us that we have
forgotten to mention the numerous mil-sites
which are scatterd up and down the rivers,
and which greatly enhance the value of the
territory. The British it is true have shown
their sagacity in occupying the best of these,
but we trust they are improving them only
for the Ultimate benefit of their righlful own
ers and future posscssors. These combined
advantages of production, situation and
ncighborhood, must one day make Oregon a
sort of depot for the commerce of the world.
Is not this fair region prize worth con-
tending for, more especially when our right
to it is beyond dispute? And if it be worth
an effort, shall we wait longer without max
ing onel We have only to take possession
formally and efficiently, and notify Great
Britain of our purpose, and the work is done.
Shall we do it Gin. ChrOn.

In Bankruptcy.-An opinion has pre-
vailed to considerable extent, that after a
person had filed his petition to be decreed
a bankrupt, he might safely go into business,
and none of his future earnings would pass to
his creditors. But in recent case, which
came before Mr.. Justice Story, he decided
that all the property and rights of property
of the bankrupt, at the time Of decree Of
bankruptcy, pass to the assignee to be dis
tributcd amongst the creditors, with the 9TH

DUELLING.

The New York Sun makes the following
liberal and candid remarks relative to tho
case of Col, Webb:-
Gas Col. Webb truly says, in
his plea before the court, the commission Of
the offence 10 which he pleaded guilty is
more attributable to the pervading state Of
society, and to the tyranny recklessness, in
consistency, and unrcasonablenes of public
opinion, than 10 any depravity of his own
heart. Had he followed the dictates of his
own breast, he doubtless would now stand
as untaintcd with legal offence as any Of us ;
and truth compels US TO regard him infinite
ly more the victim of social moral disorgan-
iza,ion than of any peculiar immortality Of
his own. This is the only view which even
common honesty, or the most limited degree
of candor, would allow US to take of his case ;
and so viewing il, we trust that in the event
the court, which is on Tuesday to pass judg-
ment upon him, should leave occasion for
such an expression of the public sentiment,
our fellow citizens will unite in one common
call upon the chief magistrate of the state to
exercise his executive discrimination be-
tween what is due to reckless vIolator Of
the public laws, and 10 the uictim of public
error"
The following sensible remarks upon the
subject of duelling we find in the last Edin.
burgh Revicw:-
"Beyond all doubt, fighting a duel is a
breach of the peace. Let j, then be so clas-
scd, and so punished-each duel according
to its special enormi,y; and let this enormi-
ty, together with the respective guilt Of the
several parties concerned, be tried by a ju.
ry, and decided by their verdict, as in the
case of other offences. 1t will then be dis.
covered how the quarrel arose out of which
the duel grew who gave the offence; wha
offers of apology, redress, or retraction were
made 4; how they were met; Why refused
and all those other circumstances which dis.
tinguish the case of bully, or professet
and instructed dueist, from that of forced
defender of his honor. The result of these
inquiries in presence Of judge and jury
would lead to that discrimination of guilt
and apportionment of punishment, withou
which no law can work well and moreover
true honor and true courage, thus sifted
would stand out in honest relief from the sur
repti,ious qualities which too often fight un
der their mask. Friends and relatives, also
when the punishment was no longer exces.
sive, would come forward to assist to expos,
and convict those who forced on the duel, o
who had not done their utmost to prevent it.

THE FATg OF TIE FALSE WrE.-A lady, still
In the prime OF lite and retaining considerable
beauty Though she had been married ten years, in
1888 deserted her husband, who is merchast al

commission warehouse with whom she had become
intimate when visiting at Nantes on business. AZ
ter union of four years the lover felt, or pre-
tended to feel, qualm of conscience, and anneun-
ced few months ago to his mistress that they
must part. as he had determined TO form legiti-
mate alliance with another lady. After some vio-
len, ssrug giles the repudiated woman appeared to
be resigned; bGt, few days ago she wrote letter
to her seducer urging him pay her hna! visit
as she had communications to make of importance
10 their mutual interests. He went to her apart
