Within very few years considerable
progress has been made in this descrip.
of Literature. TO the Myers Correspon-
dence; that of the "divine" Heloise OF
St. Louis and the recent "Consuelo" let
ter of the imaginative" gentleman, Geo.

red efusion below. For this the World
is indebted to the vie of an English
Clergyman, Rev. Edward Queenby Ash
by, who having become stricken with ad-
miration of a certain Mr.. Scudamore
Stanhope, addressed the following to him
from her birth on board n Steam boat.
in which she was travelling in company
with her husband. The letter was put i'll
in evidence by her husband on his apPli-
cation to Parliament for divorce. There
can be little doubt of his full title 10 such

important events Of the day, it is never

some newspaper. And the man who,
possessed of sufficient property TO make
himself easy, for life, surrounded by chill
drcn, eager for knowledge, is instigatcd
by the vile spirit of cupidlty, and neglects
to subscribe to a newspaper, is deficient
in the duties Of a parent or good citizen.
and is deserving of the censuIc Of his in

BACHELORS WOES.

What pi'iful thing an old bachelor is, with

mortal on earth ever suffered such woes. and
with abs and with obs and with limbs froze
to his slumbers and silence the bachelor goes.
In the morn when the cock crows, and the sun
has Just rose, from beneath the bed clothes pops
the bachelors nose, and as you NAV suppose,
when he hears how the wind blows and sees
the windows all froze, why back meath the
clothes, pops the poor fellows nose, for full we'll

THE SECRET OF WARM FEEr.-Many of the
colds which people are said TO catch, commence
al the feet. To keep those extremiies coli.
stantly warm, therefore, is to effect an insurance
against the almost interminable list of disorders
which spring out from '+slioht cold" and at
the risk OF being thought trihing. and of telling
the people what they know already, beg 10 re-
mind them of the following simple rules:
First. Never be tightly shod Boots and
shoes, when they fit closely, press against the
veins of the foot, and prevent the free circula.
ton of the blood When, on the contrary, they
do not embrace the foot, too tightly, the blood
gets fair play, and the spaces left between the
leather and the stockings are filled with COM
Portable lining of warm air. Those who have
handsome feet will, perhaps be slow TO a.
dept this dictum but they are urgently recon-
mended to sacrifice little neatness to a great
deal of comfort and safety, by wearing what
the makers call easy shoes.
Second Never sit in damp shoes. tits often
imagined, that unless they be positively wet, it
is not necessary to change them when the feet
are at rest This is fallacy; for when the
least dampness is absorbed into the soie it is at
tracted further to the foot itself by its own heat
and thus perspiration is dangerously checked
Any person may prove this by trying the expe-
riment of negecting this rule and his feet will
feel cold and damp after flew minutes: al.
though in taking off the shoe and examining il.
it will appear perfectly dry.
Did every one follow these rules there would
be no more cold feet.

MILKING COWs-A NEW METHOD

The new method of milking which our read
ers may have seen something of in the papers, is
no joke but practical reality. An informant of
ours witnessed the operation in the farm yard of
Joseph Fellows, esq, Of Geneva, but few days
since. India-rubber bags were drawn over the
cows teats, which set close enough to exclude
the air, in the lower end of which metallic tubes
were inserted, closed by taps; when the four
were adjusted, the taps were Withdrawn, and
the milk stIeamed from each teat into the pail,
exhausting the whole quantity in the cows bag
in half the time it would take TO milk in the or.
binary way. 1t is useful invention, against
which no valid objection can exist, and will
be likely to come into general use. The prime
cost of set-four mixers we shall have to call
them-cannot exceed fifty cents They are
simple and easily manufactured; when COWS
are stalled it would seem that one man could
milk ten in fifteen minutes, if he was supplied
with the apparatus for each cow.-Rochester H.

THE DECEPTION UNMASKED.

The "HERo1c AGE" has passed away like the
illusion OF a summer dream says the Lqconing
Gazette, and the country is now testing The cold
reality OF an ultra federal administration. Graft
tude for the military exploits of General Taylor
approval OF the war with Mexico, and an abid-
ing faith that cold Rough and Readyo would
administer the government "independent of
party trammels," were the causes which bro't
into power the present dynasty. But was there
ever deception more complete? The old hero
is now in his grave, and the train which follow
ed in his wake stand forth exposed to public
view. How many of them were friends and
supporters OF the war that immortalized General
Taylor Where is Tom Corwin with his
"bloody hands Z" Where are Hudson, Ashmun
and Mccartney, who voted to recall the army in
disgrace from the scene of its triumphs9 Where
the men who denounced President Polk as
usurper, and the war a disgraceful invasion of
the soil of sister Republic? Where, do we
ask! The answer is at hand-they are in the
Cabinet-in office and the supporters of those
In power. The opponents of the war, have by
stratagem, obtained the place the people de-
signed for its friends. The fraud was complete
before it was understood and appreciated by the
masses. The die was cast and the ill.eotten
power may be retained for the next two and
halt years, but the indignation of the deceived
voters will speak in tones of thunder at the polls
Vengeance is ours, saith the sovereign people,
and it will speedily overtake the Galphin crew
who have abused their high tlust.

wallowed in blood in Hungary, had shot down
human beings as if it were in SPORT had whip

do not defend Haynau precisely, but denounce
the act as unacceptable to stranger, and called
on England to punish the aegressors if she does
not wish to develope fearully the spirit of revo.
luton. Haynau did not go to Paris to see which
portion OF the press represented rightly the pub
lie sentiment, but relinquished his apartment on
the Rue Rcheleiu and went back to Germany.
He had quilted his uniform for plain dress
but was recognised in The cars before his arrival
at Cologne. The papers OF that city say that all
the hack, coach, and omnibus drivers refused to
take him or his baggage TO hotel, and that the

have any brandy here !"
He (Mr. Brown) had seen the broom; he had
been at the dust bin; it stank most awfully. He
had seen the old hat the landlord len, Haynau;
it had been sold for sovereign. The old broom
was sold for more than that; and the old arm
