THE NEW YORK ELECTIONS.

The slight Returns published last Thurday
must have prepared The minds of our readers for
tho fac, which is now apparent, as regards the
elections 10 New York. The democracy, with
Silas Wright for Governor, is beaten. Why, may
be soon told--ihe votes Of the combiued opposition,
whig. anti. rent, abolition aud all. were against
us. Wright was The candidate Of that portion of
the democratic party beaded by the Evening
Post, whose editor, it will be recollected, con
cocted the Secret Circular" TO defeat the cleo.
ton Of Mr.. Polk. Wright. himself, has los,
ground with the democratic party on account of
his vote for the Tarif of AZ. and his determined
opposition to the annexation of Texas. We do
not mourn the result much, as we believe it will
purify the party, and in l848, it will rise in It's
strength, and pull a triumphant majority for a
Democratic President -

THE

1t is a great mistake in female education to
keep the young lady's time and attention devoted
to the fashionable and polite literature of The day.
1t you would qualify her for conversation, YOU
must give her something to talk about-give her
an acquaintance with this actual world and its
transpiring events. Urge her to read the ne ws.
papers. and be familiar with the present character
and movements of our race. History is of some
Importance, but the past world is dead, and we
have nothing 10 do with it. Our Thoughts and
our concern should be for the present world, to
know what it is. and 10 improve its condition.
Let her have an intelligent opinion, and be able
to sustain intelligent conversation concerning the
mental. moral, political and religious movements
OF our times. Let the gilded ANNALS and poems
on the centre table be kept covered with The
weekly and daily journals. Or, if they are left
In the book store, and the table is well supplied
with newspapers, her mental and moral character
and her common sense will not suffer ON account
of their absence. Let the whole family-men.
women and children-read the newspapers. And
IT any body has a fact or a thought worth COM
municating. let him not try to make a biz sleepy
book, but speak to the world through the news
papers. This is the way to make an intelligent.
republican and virtuous population.-Lo,oeH Cou,
rier.

THE IRON SHIP

The revenue cutter built at Pittsburg, of iron,
is said to have cost $4,000, cheaper than any
similar vessels constructed elsewhere. The idea
seems to prevail. that iron must be abandoned for
the construction of vessels, in consequence of acct.
dents and the apprehension of influence exercised
over the needle and yet it may be well to pause
before iron ships are hastily abandoned. They
are undoubtedly lighter and stronger than wood.
The best judges of ships declare that had the
Great Britain been a wooden ship, she must have
gone To pieces in the gale, and in The position in
which she was stranded. and the lives Of the pas.
sengers sacrificed. As it is, although she may
not be extrlca,ed from the sandy bed. yet there
is abundant evidence that she is remarkably strong
and safe and we should net hastily Withdraw
our confidence from a material which promises
great security in navigation. We have had sew
eral iron propellers in the coal trade, for sumo
years. which are as sound and SAT as the day
they were first built. and requiring no repairs.
Some Improvements are yet 10 be made, but there
is not sufficient proofs to Justify the abandonment
OF the use of iron in erecting vessels for com
merce.-N. Y. San.

PERIODICALS

Southern Literary .Hessengcr.-This inesti..
mable periodical for November has been on our
table for some days. Always prompt in its arri-
val, like its appearance, it is a welcome visi,er.
We have so repeatedly expressed our favorable
opinion of the work that we can say no more. If
every Sontherner, and especially every Virginian,
who can afford it, does not patronise the Messen
ger they are doing themselves an injustice.
The Couenant This periodical is devoted to
the cause of Odd Fellowship. and polite li,era
ture. The work was started by Br. Robert
Nelson. and is now continued by his widow,
under the editorial management of the Rev.
Albert Case, d. @. Sire. 1t is receiving, as we
believe, a very liberal support from the Frater-
nity-and is worthy of a general patronage.
Biack,sood'S lAagdzine.-This is reprint of
the Edinburg edition, which is followed in every
particular, so as 10 make it a fac smile Of the
foreign copy. 1t emanates from the press of the
Messrs. Leonard Scott s. Co., of New York, who
are also employed in re- publishing the Foreign,
London and Edinburg Quarterly Reviews, at an
expense far below what the foreign editions would
cost, while they are equally as well executed as
the originals. We hope the enterprising publish.
es will find it TO their interest to continue the
undertaking, as the matter contained in these
Reviews are of almost equal value to the Ameri-
can, as to the English scholar and statesman.

wished TO get hold of their paper, and we ',uouId

WHY DO SO MANY CHILDREN DIE, 2

Can this be explained? We answer, it can.
Few things are palmer. A child is scarcely
dressed for the first time, and the nurse (most
nurses are a curse instead of a blessing) prepares
1000 Tor 1t. Molasses and water, crackers, water
and sugar, and often grated nutmeg is added. In
a lew hours the child becomes restless and cries;
ana 'he nurse, forgetting her duty, plays The doc.
tor, and administers catnip tea, SCOT tea. apise-seed
tea' paregoric, Godfrey's cordial. peppermint,
cinnamon, Caster oil, or rhubarb and mapnesia.
we have known the whole Of these drugs to be
given successfully by a nurse of highslanding to
an infant two days old, and we also saw that
infant die. Now here we have elements of disso-
luton at work lat a fearful rate, in 48 hours after
the birth of the child. But lest the vain nurse
should ia'l to completethe work ofdeath, the mother
unconscIousiy lends her aid by drinking port wine,
-aIe' porter, and other liquor and this. too, by
order OF the physician, who ought to know better.

THE BRIGHT POKER

The widow Muggeridge, in her bes, room
had two pokers. The one was black, and some.
what bent the other shone like a ray of summer
iIght-it was e~ffulgent, s~peckless steel. Both
pokers stood at the same fire place. What !,
you ask, and did The widow Muggeridpe stir her
IRE with both Certainly not. Was a coal to
be cracked, the black poker cracked it; was the
lower bar to be cleared, the black poker cleared
II; did she want a rousing fire. the black poker
was plunged relenilessly into the barninp mass
to stir up the sleeping heart Of Vulcan was a
tea Kettle to be accommodated to the Goals. the
black poker supported it. and what mett,ipks
you ask, did the bright poker?' We answer
n~othing-nothing save to glisten at the FIRE side
us black, begrlmed companion, stocking, rakinp.
burning, banging, doing all the sweating work.
AS Tor the bright poker, that was a consecrated
hing. Never did Mrs. MuggeIidge 90 from
home a week without leaving the bright poker
carefully swathed in oiled flannel, to await in
greasy repose her especial return. Then. once
more IN glIstening idleness would it lounge among
shoveis and tongs the jetty slave, the black
POKER working until it was worked to the STUMP.
at last to be flung aside for vile old iron. One
dozen black pokers did the bright poker see out
and to THIS day-doing nothing-it stands lust
rous and inactive! Such is Iife-when yun en-.

For the New Era.
VIRTUE.

Bad as the world is. respect is always paid 10
virtue. Whether science, business, or public life
be your aim, Virtue still enters for a principle
ingredient into all the departments of society.
1t is connected with eminenco in every liberal
art with reputation in every branch of fair and
useful business. The vigor which it imparis to
the mind, the weight which it adds to the charac-
ter, the generous sentiments which it breathes,
the fortitude which it inspires, the diligence
which it q%uickens, are the sure foundation of all
that is great and valuable in life.
