thing Rich in the Chronicles Of the Times
A late number of the Nashcale Banner brings
other rich chapter OF Major Lewis disclosures,
with a letter from Gen. Jack son, which must have
been the text 10 Rlves' suppressed speech, OF the
1urpor of which, nevertheless, your readers have
been fully informed.
But OF this matter, and Of certain alleged pledges
81 Coone Polk t. the conservatives, unredeemed
Nv him, and denied by the organ and, also, of
certain late letter IN the Richmond Enquirer, feeling
lie way for second term, in order, as the writer
states to prevent the Calhoun men and the Van Bu-
ren-nen from destroying the party and why Samm
failed To get the narhdship OF the Southern District
OF York State and how Riel was used up IN his
application tor the mission TO the Sandwich Islands,
with various other Interesting matters,we shall dress
Ii chapter tomorrow, which will be as rich de

Rumor of duel in the neighborhood to-day, be-

Give us thy hand, OLD WINTER -
Ihou art welcome ! Thou awakenesl
VISIONS of other days, when Hans, in the
simplicity Of his childhood, believed that
lhanksglving,' and Christmas, some
how or other, came into town in an old
fashioned double seated sleigh, with
racing grey horses aud cracking whip,
welded by an invisible Jehu. How the
idea got into his head, is more than he
can tell. ESquisiiely happy were those
days ot uncareiul childhood when the
winter school called scores ofrosy cheek
cd urchlns, hallowing on the morning
AR, through the snow to the old red
school house in the village of Hans
nativity. The larger boys all with their
sleds, on which sal their sisters, with the
dluncr-basket' on their laps aud their
smaller brothers laundering through the
drIiis which they sought, contrary to the
LAST lujunctions Of their mothers, along
the I"nccs. The huge box-s,oye roared
Il good morning to them, as the boys
stamped off the ice from their shoes, and
The girls united the strings which kept
down their pantaletts. As there were
no unucky flies 10 inter and imprson in
transparent quilIs, nor coke berries where
with TO paint the sides of their noses
iarlhest from the masters eye, the boys,
perIorco, studied their tasks and The
girls, as gi!iS always are, were equally
the objects Of pedag gogical favor. Was
the day 'thawy,' the nuon-time Witnessed
magic castles erected and the number
less streakS OF bare turf showed where
the huge balls OF snow of which they were
constructed had been rolled into unwieldy
masses and the wet mltens under the
stove inthe afternoon amply compensated
iuf the want oi water IN the iron basin on ,
the top oft Shouting when four O'Clock
released them, they hurried bone, only
10 prepare for the evenings sport Of.
riding down hill Hans would give
worlds TO be boy again, and FOR one
single moonlight evening TO slide down
'Furnace-hlll,' as OF yore When
a few winters have passed over your
boyish head, beloved reader, and you
first knew that magnetic feeling which
told you what gave The charm to rosy
lips, and you guessed what kissing was,
did you not feel all ccstacy while the
hrll-bedizzened horses and the Leilc-en-
livcncd sleigh secured with half a score
Of you over hill and through dale the
thick hood of the maiden next y ou being
excuse uuqncstionable for telling her
pretty lips what her ear could not SO well
You needn't be ashamed l
f,r those were, 10, Hans
e vour life. -

Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1845-01-01
Conversation.

One sweeping ceDsurc, in passing, on
our nowadays style Of conversation. -
Its Scylia Of sarcasm, It's Charybdis OF
insncerily, which, one or other, bids fair
10 enguf its all of originality or interest
I,idcue rs suspended, like the sword OF
Damocles, ia every drawIng-room-bui ,
unlike that sword, is over every head !:
hence, every one goes into society WIN
the armour Of Indifference, or the mantle
of deceit. None say either what they
think or what they feel. We are the
Chinese of conversation ; add, day by
day, The circle grows less and less. A
hippant, vapid discourse, personal IN all
its bearings, IN which "who peppers The
i highest is surest 10 please" and from
which all intellectual subjects are care
fully excluded - who shall deny, that if
dialogues of the living were now to be
written, such would be the chief materlel?
Books, works of art, the noble statue,
the glorious picture, how rarely are any
Of these the subjects Of conversation -
Few venture to speak on any topic that
really interests them, for fear they should
be led away by the warmth of speaking
and saying more lhan they intended, lay
themselves open TO the sarcasm which
lies, like an Indian in ambush, ready to
spring forth the moment the victim is off
his guard. Take one instance among
many. Beyond the general coarse and
false compliment which il Is hello ne.
ccssnry to address with n popular author,
and which is repaid by an eiiectual and
absurd Indifference, what vain ofconver-
sation is afterwards started Assutedly
something which interests neither the
mind of the one receives no impressions
that OF the other puts forth no powers
The natural face may be thousand
times more attractive, still mask be
worn. No one has courage TO DE him
self We look upon others, and our
eyes reflect back their images. 1t is the
same with The mind. Even thus in So
cirtv do we mirror The likeness Of others.
All originality being destroyed, our
natural craving for ?aretv nsks some
stimulani, and we are obliged TO relieve
the iusipidity by bIilers and acids Who
would dare 10 be eloquent in the face Of
n sncer or who express sentiment
which would instantly be turned to shame
and laughter RiIcule is the Jay-rot
oi society.
