GFrhe m n who becomes a journalist
must almost bid farewell TO mental rest or
mental leisure. IL he fulflls his duties
,ru,hiully, his attention must be ever
awake to what is passing in the world, aud
his whole mind must be devoted 10 the IN,
slant examination rnd discussion, and re-
cord of current events. lie has little time,
for literary ii.eness, with such literary la,
bor on his shoul leis. lie has no days TO-
spend on catalogues, or 10 dreamy, discur-
sive, researches in public Libraries. lie has
no months to devote to the exhaustion OF
any one theme. What he has To deal With

RATHER Strict The New York
Courier says in consequence Of the
very rigid manner in which the British
authorities interpret and enforce the
postal arrangements between the two
countries, some thousands of letters
which were at Liverpool, intended for
the Atlantic, were kept over for the
Canada, which was to sail on the Sat-
urday following TIE Government
forwadcd no letters upon which it was
not distinctly stated that j. was to go
forward 10y the Atlantic. This policy
may put fw hundred dollars into the
British treasury, but it will greatly en-
barrass the commercial public Of both
countries.

10 One of the mos, ridcu 'ous and alari-
ing notions which Sc &c the minds Of Moth
ers, in these days, seems to he TO have
their daughters " well married" a the ex-
preston goes, and to secure them " an
establishment" We know that many
daughters, many far and lovely creatures
are sorely perplexed aud lormented by am
bilious al d aspiring mothers, who are vii
ling to bor,er away the good-looks' the
virtues and the lovelincss of their daught-
ers for The sake of securing husbands who
can boast of wealth, in a measure regard
less Of what may be the character OF
those men, or, at all events, without con-
silering whether there is an adaptation Of
character and sympathy Of souls between
the two. This is fearfully wong and
those who suppose that woman's mind Is
abs orbcd with the one idea Of being mar
riel, aud securing an establishment, are
strangely mistaken, and thus show that
they do not comorehend the generality OF
woman's character. That there are many
of this kind We do not pretend to deny ;
bu, that all are so, wedo say that the as
serlion is gross libel on the sex. To
see a Mother anxious to dispose ot her
daughter, as she VI ould of valuable jew.
el which she thinks will command high
prce, without lul y considering whether
the purchaser will appreciate tie treasure
| is to us horrible, a damnable idea. No
woman should be- married, except 10 the
man Of her choice, and then not until
both thoroughly understand each other
the ilca of a womlns marrying a man II
she respects him only, and then learning
to love him after the holy alliance is con-
tracted is unnatural and wicked ; and Of
ten induces the worst consequences. Yet,
the spirit Of the age is progressive, and
too many mothers are ever restless until
they have accomplished this one wild de-
sire, an secured or their daughters a
! fine establishment, no matter whether the
man is worthy OF the daughter, whether
or not he will cherish her purely and ten
DERBY as she deserves, or whether he has
! brains or not. so long as he has money.
| On, what ridiculous nonsense, and ye
how common a thing j, is. 1t is sin of
! fearful dye. and one which will be severe
! ly punished hereafter.

which the sailors of the ship Palmyra

sailors were entitled to days wages
for each article deficient, aud dccreed
