MARRIEE ". BuRRIBD.-A clergyman, who
had in the lottery Of masrimony dtawn a shnre
that proved to him worse than blank, was just
experiencing a severe scOlding from his Kan
tippe, when he was called upon to unite a pair
inthe blessed state Of wedloCk. The poor parson
uctuated by his own feelings and experience
rather than by a sense Of his canonical duties,
opened the book, and began; Man that is
born Of a woman hath but a short time to
live, and is full of troubles" etc , repeating a
part ofthe burial service. The, a~stonished bride
groom exclaimed, Sir, sir! you mistake! !
came here to be married, not buried. "Well."
replied the Clergyman, off you insist upon it,
l am obliged to marry you; but l believe, my
friends, you had better be buried"

THE LAMENTATION OF DAVID OVER
SAUL AND JONATHAN.

%AANA SSIA \ AAAN W.
Thy Beauty, Israel, is fed,
Sunk to the dead;
How are the valiant fallen! the slain
Thy mountains stain,
Oh! let it not in Gath be known,
Nor in the streets Of Askelon.
Lest that sad story should excite
Their dire delight!
Lest in the torrent Of our woe,
Their pleasure flow:
Lest their triumphant daughters ring
Their symbals, and their peans sing.
You hills of GiIbOa, never may
You offerings pay;
No morning dew, nor fruitful showers,
Clothe you with Howers:
Saul and his arms arc there made a spoil
As il untouched with sacred oil.
The bow Of noble jonathan,
His arrows on the mighty fed,
With slaughter red.
Saul never raised his arm in vain,
His sword still slutted with the slain.
How lovely! 0 how pleasant! when
They lived with men!
Than eagles swifter; stronger far
Than lions aret
Whom love in life 80 strongly tied,
The stroke of death could not divide.
Sad I%srael'S daughters, weep for Saul;
Lament his fall.
Who fed you with earths increase,
And crowned with peace;
With robes Of Tyrian purple dscked,
And gems which sparkling light reflect.
How are thy worthless by the sword
or war dsvoured!
0 Ionthan! the better part
Of my torn heart!
The savage rocks have drunk thy blood
My brother! o how kind! how good!
Thy love was great; o never more
10 man, man bore! .
No woman when most passionate,
Loved at that rate.
How are the mighty fallen in fight!
They and their glory, SET in night!

BLIND BRIDLES.-" Yes, use your thinking
powers, friends. They were given you to use
and not abuse. Blind Brides! Truly named
surely. Art never invented a moro fatal thing
to the eyes Of the horse than when she devils
ed this plan of depriving the horse of what
nature intended he should enjoy. But says
one, how are blInders injurious to the horse?
Because they gather dirt and heat around the
eye. Dirt ~irritates the eye, and heat produces
inflammation. Those brides SO entrammel the
eyes Of the horse tina, he 10 compelled to be
constantly straining them, to SEQ his way
The over oxertion Of the nerve brings on dis

been needless, the Creator would net have To-
Gated them in the head. They were placed
on the corner Of the head that he might
have the advantages Of looking in different
directions. Men, n the abundance Of their
wisdom concluded shat the horse had too much
sight, and they wished to Ourtail it, hence
the origin Of blind brides and diseased eyes

MARRIED, YET NO WHE.-The Providence
Star tells a singular divorce case that was de-
cidsd before the Supreme Court of that State
recently. One Mr.. R. pstitiOned to have the
bonds dissolved between him and his lOdy-Iovo
on the ground that he was a husband only in
name-his wife granting him nothing moro
than the simplest Platonic privileges. The
lady, it came out on evidence, married for the
sake of company, but had no idea Of taking
any Of the ~respOnT6ilitie' of the married state
she had no taste that way; and SO, to render
assurances dOubly sure, at night she would tie

fellow, and gave him a chance to try his luck
again, by granting the prayer Of his petit

Northern Feeling on the Free Soil
Question.

We have kept our readers honestly advised
OF the State of feeling in the non-slavehold-
Ing States. AS a farther proof that they are
all against our equal participation in The New
Mexican lands, we merely refer to the action
OF the Legislature of Vermont. That BODY
before sdjourning passed joint resolutions in
favor OF prohibiting slavery in newly acquir-
ed Mexican Territory, of Abolition in the
District, and Of restricting the Slave Trade,
and removal OF the seat of government 10 a
Free State.
The question naturally arises, what was the
vote on these resolutions Some Wing pa
pers seem TO think that northern Wings are
what they should be, and some Democratic
papers think the same way about the north
ern Democrats. What kind of showing can
any OF them make TO sustain their opinionsl
But let the vote speak for both sides. The
resolutions passed yeas lI5, nays O. South
ern rights were " ALFRED =" strong in that Yer.
mont crowd. What do Southern men mean
by telling us 10 be concluding, to have con.
ffence and trust to our Northern brethren
Wings and Democrats in the Vermont Leg
~islature were not so A" particular" %concilia,
ting in the resolutions referred to
We say now before Heaven, the whole
North is moving in one mighty mass agains
US. 1t is as true as time itself. The supine
ness Of the South, our divisions, the tone o
many Of our papers are only giving force anc
momentum TO the Northern movemen VIII
will not our papers speak out boldly, ant
warn onr Northern brethren of the consequen
ces of their action. Instead of doing this
Of showing the whole truth to the people
both Of the North and South, some Of then
are charging purposes of disuniOn upon edi
tors and other citizens Of the South who, il
the just defence Of their rights, do show al
the facts Of the case. 1t is a graluitous Sian
der upon those southern men, and the NOR
despicable, because, an attack upon high
souled men who seek only to protect and de
fend their common rights and honor.
Look at the case. VermoIS distils her ys

which have been hitherto much desiderated-
tits permanent, self regulating, perfectly safe,
pure, and cheap. 1t is not supported by
combustion, as was shown by its burning
under a glass shade fixed down to a metal
plate so as 10 exclude the external air; and
what is also Of importance, it will burn as
brilliantly under water as under a glass or in
the open air. The light exhibited, although
only occupying the space of an argand burn
er, and not evolving more than its heat, gave
a light equal TO seven or eight hundred wax
candles. A ray directed TO some pictures
placed at one end Of the room brought out
The most delicate tints with the distinctness
Of daylight. Altogether, the effect upon the
lamps and candles which were burning in
the room was like that which is felt when
daylight bursts into a room where artificial
light happens to be burning. The expense
of a light equal TO a hundred wax candles is
estimated at a penny per hour. The fluid
which sustained the light exhibited by Mr.
Static was supplied by a cast iron battery o.
forty four plates, with a zinc surface equal Il
one and a quarter square yards. Means are
to be taken by public lectures and otherwise
to bring the properties and advantages Of the
interesting discovery fairly before the pub
lie. London paper, Nou. A.

Calhoun.

John c. Calhoun is, of all men Of the
present day, the leading champion Of hu-
man slavery. In his apprehension it Is
a divine institution, and he conccives it to
be acting contrary to the expressed will
and command Of God 10 interfere with it
in any manner except 10 make it univer-
sal throughout the world. This is his
aim-this his inclination. He is q faith.
full sentinel on the watch.tower of the sim
slitution." Always on the alert, he new
er hesilates TO pounce upon its opponents
whenever an opportunity presents itself.
Though always defeated, as every man
nus be who leans TO the side Of tyranny,
he is never vanquished, but returns 10
The charge with as much confidence in
his W invincibility as Don Quixotte
himself ever possessed. In one respect
he is totally unlike The small satellites OF
slavery. He never h%esiiates 10 boldly
w his opinions and designs. 1t was
through him that The Interior object Of
the South, in annexing Texas, was nc.
knowledged. He had no hesitation ir
saying TO all the world that ii was for the
purpose of extending and strengthening
slavery. 1t would be far better for the
cause OF liberty if all the friends Of slave
ny were as honest as John C. Calhoun
Such an opponent is far less dangerous ir
the public councils than men of a differ
ent character.
1t is a melancholy reflection that al
American Statesmen of the commander,
abilities of Calhoun, should occupy a no
silion so much a, war with The rights an,
claims of humanity, and The acknowledge
ed principles Of republican freedom
What will an e~nfranchised and enligh,
ened Posteriry think of such a man? =
What will be their estimate of his char
acler? Will they regard him as a me
nomaniac or a monster Or will the
throw the mantle Of charity over him an
pronounce him a misguided individual

"The House began by doing a good
days work on Monday; took things a
little easier on Tuesday; on Wednesday
worked hard again, and accomplished not
a little. So far, il was remarked, tho Sec
ond week of no former Session had ever
Witnessed greater diligence or efficiency.
"On Thursday morning, directly on

voices from the Wing side of the Hall,

Some forty Members rose in response to
the call. "A sufficient number up,' deci-
ded the Speaker. And now the gentle.

Terrible CataStrnnhe-

A dreadful accident occurred on board
the steamer Londonderry, plying between
Sligo and Liverpool, by which serentv
lives were lost. The steamer had on
board three cabin passengers, and about
one hundred and fifty Irish emigrants
for America. Towards night, on the LIST
December, a heavy gale came OH, and i,
soon blew so hard tina, the decks were
cleared, and the poor emigrants were
forced into the ~fore-cabin-a room a lit
lie more than 10 feet by II. Ii was fitted
for about 40, and yet $50, of all ages,
were crowded into it and the companion
tho only aperture for ventilation was
closed, and iarpaulin nailed over il. The
Steamer went on her way, and ii was not
until morning that the seamen were aware
of the awful tragedy that had been enact
ed during the night beneath their feet.
OF the n hundred and fifty passengers
who had been driven down the compan-
ion ladder n few hours before, seventy
two were found 10 have persisted! Men,
and women, and litlc children, husbands
and wives. sons and mothers, were heap
ed about the floor Of The cabin in disorder
some with their clothes torn from their
backs in tatters, some with their hands
and faces lacerated, some with their fea-
lures trodden into n mummy by the iron
shod %'brogues' of their fellow-suferers :
here a father locked in the arms of his
daughter; there a sister clinging 10 the
corpse of her brother, their counlenan ces
black and distorted with the commissions
produced by %suffocation. The following
is a description Of the scene which met
the eye of the mate when a steerage
passenger who had, at last, forced his
way out, communicated to him the terri
Bile intelligence.
"The mate instantly became alarmed,
and obtaining q lantern, went down 10 rem
der assistance. Such, however, was the
foul air of the cabin, that the light was
Immediately extinguished. A second was
obtained, and it too was extinguished.-
Atlenglh on the %iarpaulin being complete
ly removed and a free access Of air be-
ing admitted, the real nature Of the catas-
trophe exhibited itself. There lay in
heaps, the living. the dying and the dead,
one frightful mass of mingled agony and
death, a spectacle to appal the stoutest
heart. Men, and children were
huddled together, blackened with suffo.
cation, distorted by commissions, bruised
and bleeding by the desperate struggles
for existence which proceeded the mo
ment when exhausted nature resigned
the strife. After some time the Twins
were separated from the dead, and it wa,
then found that the latter amounted &c
nearly one half ofthe whole number.

HuNGAaY.--The Paris Friday even
ing Press states that the capitulation
! of Georgey, is to be attributed to the
Intervention of the English Agent,
and that terms of surrender were
discussed and arranged at Warsaw,
during the last journey which Prince
Swartzenburg made to that city
His submission, says the Press, is
consequently neither a coup de etat
nor act Of despair, but the result Of
negotiations, skilfully conducted by
Great Britain to save Hungary from
the consequences of an unequal con-
test, and at the same time to deprive
Russia of occupation and prolonging
her siE ssay bfEH August tt? g5o.-The Emper-
or returned yesterday It was expec-
ted that further details of Georgey's
surrender would transpire. Two
Proclamations were looked forward
to with interest at Vienna, viz: Kos
suth's resignation in favor of Georgy
and letters addressed to the Hunga-
rians, in which he entreats them to
lay down their arms, as it was use
less to fight for lost cause.
Communication between Moravia
and Gallicia is now open. The Ger
manic Zeitllng states that large
part of Georgey's army at once en-
listed into the Austrian service, and
it is thought that sixty thousand well
appointed and efficient troops will be
added to the Austrian army. 1t is
stated that Kossuth, Mepars and
Dembinski are safe in Turkey.

twill be observed that under the present tariff
the regular reven' Of the federal government ex:
ceeds the regular expenditure before the war by ten
to eleven millions. In the last year, under the
head OF CIVIL &C., is included $500, 900 paid Next
co under the treaty; and both the War and Navy
show the continued influence of the war upon tho
expenditure; Notwithstanding which, The available
means on hand in October last, amounting to over
eleven millions, have suficed to defray all, and
leave considerable balance in the treasury at the
close OF the year. The estimates for 1850 give an
aggregate expenditure Of $4,000 1000, including
some OF old appropriations that may moi
be called for. This aggregate, however, will be
FULLY within the revenue Of the year, if properly al
and cause increase of balance on hand
the close, or permit of considerable appropriation
Tor the purchase of the debt; for which purpose II
appears So, 44s have been expended in
and premiums in the last quarter. The enormous
exports OF the famine year doubtless swelled the
customs for the year is4s; but there has been no
such operating cause in the last year, and the ex
cess Of duties over those yielded by the tariff OF
is solely due to the beneficial operation of lib
eral commercial policy. For the year 1850, the du
ties may probably range as high as for ls4s.
