we are rained TO use no stronger
word J 10 see Mis Clay, and the other
friends Of the bill, refusing to stand bv
Mr. Eoote IN his .laudab!e efforts 10
amend the Senate bill, and by their
stubborn resistanceto change, adj

of Foote' s amendment, which was "a

rights, satisfies us that the bill cannot
pass-for, il. Mr.. Foote'S proposition
could not pass, how could we. expect
that MIR. Kings motion could sue
coed! The Senate adjustment bill,
therefore, we regard as beyond sal
yation. Shall we then infer that no
measure. of Cancellation and peace
can succeed, and that this noble Tn,
ion is, consequently, to be riNen into
fragments! We. cannot yet bring
ourselves TO the conclusion, that the
representatives ofthe people are so
bereft Of good sense and patriotism
as not to be able TO devise some fair.
and just measure ofcompromise, that

Union Must history record that the
representatives of the only genuine
Republic in the world have cast UNI

HEARTY READING. Curiosity is a
passion very fayorabi: to the love of
study; and a apassion very susceptible
Of increase by cultivation. Sound
travels SO many feet in second; and
light travels SO many feet in second.
Nothing more probahle; but you do
not care ho'D light aud sound travel.
Merry likely: but make yourself care;
get up, shake yourself well, pretend
TO care, make beEcfto care. and very
soon yea WW care, and care so much
that you will sit for hours thinking
about light and sound, and be ex-
tremely angry with any one who IN
lerrupts you IN your pursuit; and toll
crate no other conversation but about
light and sound; and catch yourself
plaguing everybody 10 death who APP
proaches you, with the discussion of
these subjects. lam sure that "a man
ought TO read as he would grasp a
nettle:-do,it lightly and you get mo-
lcsted; grasp il with all your strength,
and you feel none of its asperities.
There is nothing SO horrible as lam
guid study; when you sit looking at |
the clock, wishing the time was over
or that somebody would call on YOU
and put you out of your misery. The
only way 10 read with any efficacy, !
is 10 read SO heartily that dinner time !
comes two hours before you expect !
1t. To sit with your Liyy before !
you, and hear the geese cackling that |
saved the capital; and to see with |
your own eyes the Carthaginian suit
Tiers gathering up the rings of the .
roman knights after the battle of |
Canine, and heaping them INTO bush /
els; and 10 be SO intimately prent at
the actions you are reading of, that
when anybody knocks at the door, it .
will take you two or three seconds
TO determine whether you are in your
own study orin the plains ofLombar-
dy, looking at Hannibal's weather
beaten face, and admiring tile splen-
dor of his single eye; this is the only I
kind of study which is not tiresome,
and almost the only kind which is
not useless; this is the, knowledge
which gets into The system, and
which a man carries about and uses
like his limbs, without perceiying that
IT IS extraneous, weighty, or incon-
enient. ..r.., ~. 49,
THE Two FLOWERS or CREATION.
We men love flowers, and flowers
are like women in their beauty and
sweetness, SO they ought to grow up
together. No ilower-gaiden looks
complies without a We nan in it; no
woman ever seems so lovely as when
she is surrounded by flowers. She !
should naye,hef fragrant boquet at
the party; window plants in her par
ior; II poss Die, ome rich and rare
Towering shrubs, in her conservatory;
but, better than all these, and supply
ing all, every woman should have a.
iioWer garden. Every man who has
The least gallantry or paternal feeling
