REMEDIES FOR FITS.

For a fit of Pdssion.-Walk out in the oper
air; you may speak your mind to the wind'
without hurting any one or proclaiming your
self to be simpleton.
For Fit of IdleneSS.-Count the tickings
of clock Do this for one hour and your
will be glad to pull off your coat the next and
work like a negro.
For Fit Of Extravaganza and Foly.-Go
to the work-house, or speak with the ragged
and wretched inmates of a Jail, and you will
be convinced
Who makes his bed of brier and thorn,
Must be content to lie forlorn.
For a FIT of Ambition.-Go into the church
yard and read the grave-stones; they will tell
YOU the end of ambition. The grave will soon
be YOUR bedchamber, the earth your pillow,
corruption your father, and the worm your
mother and your sister.
For a Fit of Repining.-LooL about for the
halt and the blind, and visit the bed-ridden
and afflicted, and deranged; and they will
make you ashamed of complaining OF your
lighter Affections.
For a Fit of Despondency.-Look on the
good things which God has given you in this
world and at those which he has promised TO
his followers in the next. He who goes into
his garden to look for cobwebs and spiders will
no doubt find them; while he who looks for a
flower may return into his house with one
blooming in his bosom.

A DULL SUMMER AT TIE EAST.

Eastern journals contain many sorry &C.
counts of the state and prospects Of trade in
that region. 1t is a subject of remark that
while manufacturers in England appear to be
rising from the depression to which they as
well as the manufacturers of this country have
for two years been subjected, ana are increas-
ing their works, our own mills are stoI ping to
an unprecedented extent.
In addition to the stoppIges Of factories be-
fore noticed, the last mails bring intelligence
of some half dozen others.
The Perry Cotton Mil, one Of the largest
cotton manufacturing establishments in that
town, will stop running after the 18th inst,
owing to inability to sell their goods except at
4 ruinOus loss.
The AIiddlesex Mills ut Lowell, says the Sa-
lem Register, which made such large sacrifices
in their stock of goods last Fall, by selling
them ut auction in New York, are now only
running one-quar,cr part of their machinery.
Most OF the mills at Andover have stop
ped work, and the Salisbury Manufacturing
Co. have stopped more than half of tier ma
chinery.
The Northampton papers state that the ex-
tensiye Wooden Mills of Gilbert & Stevens, as
Ware, and the Mills at Clappyille,arc winding
up their business for the present, owing to the
large stock Of goods remaining unsold.
The LewiStoa Fails (Ale.) Journal, says that
the Woolcn Mills at that place have stopped
work, in consequence ofthe low price and linz
tied demand for their goods; and that the
Flannel Factory at Sabattsyille, Will stop III 5
few days.
The James Min at Newburypo,t accord
ing to the Herald of that place, will a'so Prob
ably stop for while, taking advantage OF the
depression ofbusiness at the present time, to
repair their machinery.
More than 500 hands have been discharged
from the mills under the agency of one house
in Boston, within the last fortnight, owing TO
the impossibiity Of selling the goods on handr
or raising money TO continue the manufac-
ture.
The shipping interest is in no better condi-
ton :-freights are so low as to be altogether
insufficient to meet the vessels expenses. tits
not speaking too strongly, to assert that of tho
many thousand cnrgoes now afloat, not more
than one in ten, perhaps not one IN twenty,
has been received on board at a rate whict
will pay the owners Of the vessels for the cost
of the transportatior.-N j. Tribune.

THE SIsTERs.-The following account Of
scene in the slave market of Constantinople,
is taken from a work entitled "Wayfaring
Sketches:
"a most interesting group presented itself
before US; two young female slaves, both with
most pleasing countenances, stood together,
closely embraced, the arm of the one closely
around the neck of the other; their attitude,
as well as the strong likeness between them
pointing them out at once as sisters. By their
side was an African slave dealer, in whose fe-
rocious countenance it seemed impossible to
discern a trace of human feeling. He was
armed, with large, heavy stick, with which
he drove them to and fro, literally like herd
of animals. Three or four Turks were discus
sing with tolerable animation the price of one
of the women but the bargain had been struck
stout, good-looking man, was paying down the
money. When this was completed, with an
imperious movement of his hand he motioned
to his newly purchased slave to follow him.
1t was the youngest and most timid of the two
sisters whom he had selected. Nothing could
be more painful than to watch the intense, the
terrified anxiety with which both had followed
the progress of the sale; and now it was con-
cluded, and they knew that the moment ofsep-
aration was arrived; she whose fate had been
sealed, disengaged herself, and, turning round
placed her two hands on her sisters shoulders,
with firm grasp, and gazed into her eyes.
Not words, not tears, could have expressed
one half of the mute, unutterable despair that
dwelt in that long heart-rending gaze. 1t were
hard to say which was mos. eloquent of mise
ry; but the Turk was impatient; he clapped
his hands together. This was well-known
signal. A slight tremor shook the, frame OF
the Young slave; her arms fell powerless at her
side, and she turned to follow her master.
The voiceless but agonized farewell was over.
In another moment, we could just distinguish
her slender figure threading its way through
the crowd, in company with the other slaves
belonging to the Turk. Her sister had hid
herself behind her companions, and now sat on
the ground, her head sunk upon her folded
arms"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. URES AND SLAvEET
Omar CHANGE OF VIEWS IN LoUIsvILLE.-
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette. writing
from Louisville, mentions that intelligent minds
arc much occupied now with speculatons and cal
culatonS concerning the adaptation Of the coun-
try for hundred miles or so around that city to
railroads and the possibility of establishing there
at present, in the midst ofthe limited ami dylrq
ont slavery Of the city, manufactures similar in
kind and variety TO those which exist in Cinrin-
nafi and have dom 50 much towards the binding
up Of that large, elegant, and prosperous city.
Observing and Teicc.ing men do not pretend that
such manufactures can flourish there, even should
thoy be set in motion, if slavery is TO continue
but such men regard the permancnce Of this insti-
tuition in Kentucky as not ut all among things
probable. Some think that the vote on the Con-
vention question, soon to be taken, will ring the
dealh-knel of slavery in that fertile and heauti-
fnl State. Others who do not regard ''the he
ginning Of the end" near at hand, siiIl think
that the continuance of the fostering sin" in the
State for quarter of n century yet, need not
longer retard the vigorous march Ct Louisville
They consider that slavery. If left to itself will
die ont in Kentucky-and in few years have
hardly physical strength left TO perform the burial
service over lis last victims. And there is much
to Justify this view in the healthy tone of public
sentiment on this subject, and the encouraging
fact that there has Eccn steady and rapid in
crease in the disparity between the free and slave
for the last ten or twelve wears. So
fast is this disparity growing. indeed, that while
the whole population of the city has doubled it
self in the last fourteen fifteen years. the slave
population of the city has increased. from tho
best information thai can be obtained, only be-
tween Is and 20 per centum. Evidences Of this
change meet one every day, on every square, in
the shape of white hack drivers, white dravmcn,
