Caste Of Society.

There is no time in life when distinctions
in society, arising from wealth, family
nections, or occupation, show them
selves more distinctly than in youth. We
recently heard a story-a case in point
that ludicrously shows up this folly:
Some years since, young lady, remark
able for her maturity and good sense, daugh-
ter of a distinguished lawyer and member
of Congress from Worcester county, was
placed at young ladies' boarding school in
the neighborhood Of this city. Her unaffect-
ed manners and sprightliness of character,
soon attracted the attention, and won the
affections of many of the young ladies. who
were full of their kind offices, until one day
they enquired of each other the occupations
of their fathers Our fair friend, perceiv-
| ing the drift of their inquiries, gave them to
understand that her father was shoemaker =
when many of them were struck with hor-,
or at her low and vulgar origin, and a
change was at once perceptible in their con-
duct towards her.. She, however, though
fully understanding them, remained quiet.
After while, the father Of this young lady
visited the school, -,
AS he was good looking man, and as
they observed that the Principal, and others,
treated him with great Difference and re-
spect, the scholars were led to inquire OF
their instructness who he was, and what
was his business; and on being told that ne
was the father of Miss H., and that he was
> a member of Congress, they were filled with
; amazement, and Immediately made the at

Trouble and sorrow are friends in disguise;
Nothing but folly goes faithless and fearful;
Courage forever is happy and wise;

Heaven is gracious, and-alls for the best!

Soldier of sadness, or pilgrim. of love,
Who to the shores of despair may have wandered

And the frail bark of His creature is guiding,

And in the midst of your dangers or errors,
Trust like child, while you strike like man

From the Edinburgh Review.
The American Union.

1t has already withstood tempest after
tempest, and outlived successive prophets
of ruin A mere handful of provinces, cas-
ually united in resistance to England, and
on the point of falling to pieces when ne.
cessty for resistance ceased, it acquired at
that critical moment new constitution
which knit the disjointed members firmly
together. A second war undertaken u.
gainst the will of one-lhrd of its compo-
nent States, appeared to threaten it afresh
with dissolution; it ended in Strengthening
the Union, through Il new infusion Of ma
tional spirit, and by rousing a common
sentiment, which absorbed sectional ieal-
ousies and passions. Next came the con-
sumption Of the victory obtained by the
democratic party in their long struggle with
the lederalists-a victory which seemed to
threaten with speedy destruction the bond
which it had been the principle of tho lat
ter to vindicate and maintain. Bul
Providence overruled this danger also to u
contrary issue, for the State authorities
which could not long have endured the
stricter yoke intended by the federalists
submitted easily to the modified cen,ru
which the disciples Of Jefferson vested ir
The central government. The nation oyer
flowed across the bounding Alleghenies, ,ane
spread over the wide valley of the Missis
sippi, and it was pronounced by friends, a
well rs enemies, that the extension of EN-
pire would inevitably lead to disruption
Contrary to all anticipation, this very ex
tension has preserved the unity Of that re
public. The growing separation of NORTH
and South, divided in interest, and hostile
in feeling, was prevented from coming in
to direct collision by the introduction Of the
new Western States. The third and pow
erful element kept the others together in
corDpulsatory harmony, and in the same
manner, every subsequent addition has. tend
ed to strengthen the fabric rather than tq
bring it down.
The wider the dominion Of the fedora
ton spreads, the greater the number Of To-
cal interests Of populations comprehendec
within its boundary the less appears to be
the probability that any particular local
interest can threaten the general veal
that dissensions between particular sections
are destined to endanger the security oi
the Union. 1t has withstood the shocks OF
commercial distress, and the extravaganza
of commercial prosperity; it has been en-
feebled by the impulse given to party spirit
under long and idle peace; itseems to en-
counter no material danger from the qucs-
tionable success Of a war Of invasion and
conquest; for war waged like those of the
Carthagenians, by hired armies and jeal-
ousy controlled generals, are not very like
ly to produce Cesar or Napoleon. AS
far as human sagacity fotesees, the clouds
which enveloped the birth of the confedera-
cy have cleared away. There is no pecu-
liar political danger now impending which
has not been incurred and surmounted al
ready, and of which American statesmen
cannot estimate the amount, and may not
be expected to guard the shock.

AT Lotte's reque,t, who left frightened

accompanied them back to their lodgings
in The Alt stadt, where the good Margaret
walcomed them with tears of Joy, having
given up all hope of ever seeing her little
favorite again; and leaving them safe un

whether provided by the United States, or their
own people in more quiet and peaceable times Of
the Republic. The editor of the Fsderaiista will
fad this to be true when the recruiting. Offices
are open. We doubt, however, whether the
project will ever approach so near consumma-
ton as the opening of such Offices implies.
The introduction Of the law by one OF the
most turbulent spirits in the Mexican Congress,
shows that the Puros aud more violent partisans
OF Santa Anna are at work to prevent any ami
cable settlement of existing difficulties. We
trust they will be defeated in their designs and
purposes. That they will sustain most inglo.
roos defeat upon another field than that into
which they have recently turned the Legislative
chamber at Queretaro, admits of no doubt what
ever. Forty thousand new troops will not save
them, if war is to be the cry; and hundred such
projects as that presented by Perdigon Garay,
will present no obstacle to the triumphant march
of the. American troops, and their occupation of
the soil they have won.
