Policy for Young Ladies.

1t is said "there is policy in war;" which is
doubtless fact, but policy is also necessary
in most of the proceedings of life. Policy
is taking advantage of circumstance, and
turning them to tie accomplishment OF those
objects one wishes to SECURE fo'icy Is
therefore necessary for those young ladies'
who wish to secure good husbands. But the
policy which most of them pursue is exceed
ingly erroneous--they seem to think that it
is degrading to them to be seen in an ordl-
nary dress, about their household affairs.
But this is the very condition in which eve
nv young man who is worth securing, would
prefer to find them, ifhe were seeking for
wife. 4 foolish, ssimperlng top, VINO IS more
indebted TO his tailor and barber, for impor-
lance, than to his brains, may wish to find
young Indies dressed in silks and shut up in
The parlor like dolls in n showcase. But n
sensible man wants a wife who knows some
thing, and can make herself useful. A judi

John Quincy Adams,

We remember once when conversing With
an old Carolina planter, about the great men
of our country, being struck with n remark
which he made about this venerable man.
"Sir" said he, John Quincy Adams carries
his doctrines into life, and by his life proves
them. He does. You don't find him preach
ing and not practising; but you do find him
practising and not preaching. In this onsists
his greatness For this posterity will ranlE
him as The man of our day." .,...
And this remark was made wien tho
newspapers of the South were hottestagainsl
Mr. Adams, and when he, too, was pouring
out his strongest protests against Southern
Nominations and meeting Southern action by
proud defiance, and mastery eioquence. =
Yet the sensible stakeholder saw clearly has
position. He. fell that Mr. Adams was II true
man, and, at once, he heartily designated his
great merit, and his future position,
"HE DOES" '.-
How emphatic and how true. Find MI
Adams where you will, and he is doing; do
ing the duty before him; doing it, he it large
or small, as thoroughly as if he had nothing
else to do. No weather, 10 ordinary nor ex.
traordinary excuse, keeps him from whatevel
post present duty may assign him. He is ev:
er in his seat in Congress; no call of the rol
finds him away. he is punctual in attending
at the moment to whatever business he un-
dertakes lie is always in his pew at churcb
OH the Sabbath Thus occupying his propei
position, Mr. Adams is sure TO remember to
tlo--his present duty, and this mak es him the
mighty man he is.
He DOES.
And the effect of his doing--so simply, SO
simple, SO direct, so christian---must win i;9
way to the public heart, and go iar towards
influencing it rightly. Mr. Adams, in grain, is
a thorough republican. He has no tawdry
theories to please the many. He acts out, a5
our Carolina friend said, in life what he pro-
fesses or breaches, Hear what one, able t9

CHEESE VS.. CANNON SHOT.

The greatest ammunition that we have
heard of lately, was used by the celebrated
Commodore Coe, of the Montevidean navy
who, in an engagement with Admiral Brown
of the Buenos Ayrean service, fred every
shot from his lockers. ....
"What shall we do sir ?" asked his first
lieutenant; "we've not single shot aboard
round grape, canister, and neutrality-suspicious.
all gone"
"Powder all gone, ell ?" asked Coe.
"No, sir--got lots of that yet"
ave had hard cheese--a round Dutch
one, for dessert ut dinner to-day, do you re-
member it ?" said Coe.
81 ought to-I broke the carving knife in
trying TO cut it, sir"
care there any more aboard ?"
"About two dozen--we took'em from a
drogher."
"WlI they go into the 19 Founders ?"
BY thunder, Commodore, but that's the
idea, I'll try 'em cried the first huff.
And in few Minutes the fire of the old
Santa Maria Goes shp,) which had ceased
entirely was re-opened and Admiral Brown
found more shot flying over his head. Di7
rectly one of them struck his main-mast, and
as il did So shattered and flew in every Gi-
rection.
''What the deuce is that which the enemy
is firing ?" asked Brown,-but nobody could
tell.
Directly another one came in through n
port and killed two men who stood near him;
then striking the opposite bu!warSs, burst
into flinders.
''By Jove, this is Too much this is some
newfangled paixlam or other--I don't like
'en at all :" cried Brown; and then as four
or five more of them came slap through his
sails, he gave the order to fill away, and &c
tually backed ont of the fight, receiving n
parting broadside of Dutch cheeses.
This is an actual fact, our informant was
the first Lieut. ofCoe's ship.-.M Y. Monitor.

O. 1t is a remarkable fact that every liv-
ing statesman who was prominent supper
ter ofthe last war with Great Britain, is now
opposed to the Mexican war, and in the cant
slang ofmodern Polk Democracy,a "Mexican
Federalist." Scarcely less remarkable is the
fact that James Buchanan, President Folks
War Secretary of State, was last war
Federalist; as were many other Of the
prominent friends of the present war. WHY
is this Is it not that the last was war for
freedom and American rights, while the pres
ent is war for slavery and against the rights
of humanity 49,.
