rr,te and Beautiful Sentiments.

True and Beautiful Scniinae nts.
Sir Robert Peel, in letter to the inha-
bitants Of the town Of Elbing, in Prussia,
who had sent him note Of congratulation
on his financial measures, avows the fol-
lowing true and beautifully expressed
sentiments !:
The social condition of that country
which maintains with the greatest vigor,
the protective system, will be opposed to
the state Of another which has adopted IL
beral principles; and the conviction Of the
value Of such principles will not obtain,
unless by the encouragement of the free
dom Of exchange among all the nations Of
the world; the well being of each indivi-
dual will be increased, and the will of
Providence will be fulfilled, that Provi-
dence which has given to every country a
Sun, a Climate and Soil, each differing
the one from the other, not for the pur-
pose Of rendering them severally indepen-
dent Of each other, but on the contrary,
that they may feel their reciprocal depen-
dence by the exchange Of their respective
produce, thus causing them to enjoy in
common the blessings Of Providence. 1t
is thus that we find in commerce the means
of advancing civilization, appeasing jea-
lousy and national prejudice, and Of bring
ing about an universal peace, either from
national interest or from christian duty.

Adopted Citizens.

Colonel Wyncoop has addressed letter
to one of his friends in Pottsville, in which
he pays the following just tribute to our
adopted citizens. Before this gallant gen.
tleman left for the wars, he was an arden,
g Native as he had through most of his
life been "whig.'' The course of the
Federalists on the war has led him to re-
.pudiate them, and we. see that his expert
ence has taught him that Nativism is no
less unworthy. The following is frank
and beautiful acknowledgment of his err
ror, and a no less appropriate tribute to
our adopted fellow citizens:
The Irishman and German: have seen
many Of them in one rankI have been
with them in battle have seen them W oun-
ded and dying have trodden over their
dead bodies on the feld-have witnessed
by proof stronger than revelation, their az
lection for the land of their adoption; and
thrust in God that the time may come when
! shall be enabled, in some degree, by flu
ture conduct, to repair the wrong honestly
done towards these people, by myself du-
ring the past. ! say honestly, because as
a politician |, was honest in opinions and
| believe unhesitating in my expressions
Time, however, has corrected the error,
and in a school too not easily to be for
gotten.

IL As some of our unmarried read
ers may desire to know something of the
origin Of St. Valentines day, we publish
an extract from work of an English au-
thor, (Mr. Donce,) who gives what the
Baltimore Sun regards as the most ration
al account:
St Valentine was priest of Rome-ii
was the custom in that ancient city to cell
citrate the Lupercalia, which were feasts
in honor of Juno. On this occasion
amidst variety Of ceremonies, the names
of young women were deposited in vase
from which they were drawn by men as
chance directed. The pastors of the ear
ly Christian Church, who by every means
endeavored to eradicate the vestiges Of
pagan superstition, substituted in the pres
ent instance the names of particular saints
instead of those Of the women; and as the
festival Of the Lupercalia, had common
ced about the middle of February, they
choose St. Valentines day for celebrating
the new feast, and accordingly the out.
line of the ancient ceremony was preserv.
ed; it is therefore reasonable to suppose
that the above practice of choosing mates
would gradually become reciprocal in the
sexes. 1t is also recorded that on St
Valentines day each bird of the air choose
its mate.

The Right Kind.

Rev. Abel C.. Thomas, one of the mos
eloquent and successful preachers of the
present age, served his time at the print
ing business; and SO far from looking bacl
with regret to the time thus devoted t,
mechanical labor, he says, in recent let
ter to a Boston publisher, in relation to his
ministry was always Independent, 70,
| was master of the printing business, anc
| knew that l could earn living at any
time by the labor of my hands. SO wei
assured am | of the advantage derived
from this source, that if | had thousand
children, and was worth thousand mil
lion of dollars, each of my sons should be-
come proficient in some branch of handi.
eraft-and each of my daughters should
learn, practically, every branch of house
work, from the cellar to the garnet, as {
condition of inheriting any of my proper
ty."
That is the right kind of talk, and if il
could be every where carried into prac.
tice, whatever else might ensue, of one
thing we are certain, there would be vast
deal less of "splendid misery" in the
world. Let parents think of it.

The LATEST Our.-A great many an
ecdotes have been related Of Gen. Taylor,
Of his remarkable GOODNESS and sagacity
on the field of battle; but the following is
more than twenty-four hours in advance
OF It's cotemporaries:-
The General is in the habit of riding
with short stirrups. Well, in the heat Of
the fight at Buena Vista, the old veteran
saw cannon ball making toward him,
from one of the Mexican batteries, with
terrific speed. Rough and Ready eyed
it for moment with great interest, during
which time he ascertained, with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision, the exact spot where ii
would hit him if he remained still. But
at the same time he satisfied himself tina,
with little fitness he could avoid the dan
ger. So, waiting with great patience I'M
til the shot was about to strike him, he
deliberately raised himself in his stirrups
and the ball passed between him and the
saddle, leaving him quite unframed! =
This the Doctor saw with his own ewes.
and therefore there can be no doubt Of its
truth" ss.
