FEMALE NAMES.

MARY, the sweetest of female names, may
not appropriately stand at the head OF our
list. IL is from the Hebrew. and signifies e.r-
allied. Its French form is Marie. Ii is, we
hardly need say a famous name in both sa-
cred and profane history. In all ages, from
the time OF Mary, the mother ofJesus, TO that
Of Mary, the mother Of Washington. the name
has, literally been exalted. II has been link
ed with titles and power-with crowns and
coronets and adorned by goodness and beau
~. Mary has ever been a tavorite name
with the poets. Byron, a S he assures us, felt
an absolute passion for it. 1t is woven with
some of his sweetest verses. The peasant
poet, Burns. seems to have been as much at
tached TO it as the author Of Childe Harold.
1t is still the theme Of bards and bardlinps I'M
numbered. We might fill column or two
here with songs. sonDeis and ballads, in the
melody Of whose verse the soft musical sylla-
bles are those which form the charming name
OF Mary. But where so much presents Itself,
we can quote nothing. We need quote moth
ing, for
The very music Of the name has gone
Into our being
Let the motto, or the toast it;you will, be the
single line of Pryan Waller Proctor.
Here's health to thee, Mary
SARAH is almost as common a name as
Mary, but it lacks the prestige winch its his
torical and poetical associations throw around
the latter. 1t is also from the Hebrew, and
signifies princess. In poetry it takes the
form of Sally, or Sditie, and is found in many
love song and ballad. Sally is sometime
contracted to Sal, which is neither poetical
nor euphonlous.
Laughing, pratling, sporting SALLIE.
Now tell me what shall be
The tint Of sky, sunlt or starry,
To which I'll lihen thee
The soitest shades OF heavens blue
Those lustrous e. es seem melting through
SUSAN, another name of Hebrew origin,
signifies ably. In poetry it is usually seen
in its contracted form OF Sac. 1t is pretty
name, and IS immorialzed in Gray's we'll
known ballad. The Specification of the
name is very happily introduced in the clo-
sing line:
Adieu, she cried, and waved her lily hand
MABEL is probably derived from ma BELLA,
signilying Hy fair, though some suppose
that it is contracted from Qmabiiis, foreiy or
amiabl.. Ii is a good name in either case,
and worthy Of being perpe;uated. Mary
Hewitt has ballad commencing,
Arise, my maiden MABEL.'
which is the only poem we now recollect in
which the name occurs.
URSULA, a name associated in our mind
with homeiness Of face and goodness ofheart
concealed under the veil Of u nuD, is from the
Latin, and signifies nothing more amiable
than a female bear! Who. knowing this,
will give the name TO a child
BLANCHE, one Of the sweetest names ever
borne by woman, is from the French, and
signifies iriiite or far. Mary Hewitt makes
the Orange-iOwer its floral type.
Lucy, in its French from Lucie, signifies
lacid, and comes from the Latin.
Lucy is golden girl,
says Bryan Proctor, and many will echo the
line. Lucy is a iavorie name with almost
every one. Wordsworth has mace it one o

. Names welded unto song


And lovely indeed is the maiden bearing
that sweet name, whom nature proposes 10
mould, at will, 10 her own taste:
She will be sportive as the fawn
That wild with glee across The lawn,
Or up the mountain springs;
And hers shall be the breathing balm,
And hers the silence and the calm
OF mute insensate things.
The stars of midnight shall be dear
To her; and she shall learn her ear
In many secret place,
Where rivulets dance III .ir Maynard round,
And beauty born OF murmuring sound
Shall pass into her face.
And vital feelings of delight
Shall rear her fern to stately height,
Her virgin bosom swell
Such thoughts 10 Lucy | will give
While she and | together live
Here in This happy cell.
BEATRICE is another name derived from
the Latin. Ii signifies one arao blesses or
makes happy no name can be more APP
propriatc for lovely, alIecionate, and amia-
bic woman. Beatrice has been honorcd
above all others by the poets; DAME, Shaks-
peare. and Shelley have. in turn. thrown
around il the charm Of their numbers, and
linked it with thoughts both lovely and trag-
ic.
CAROLINE is the feminine form of Charles,
or rather Of its Latin equivalent, Cdroius.-
IL comes from the German, and has the sIg-
MITIGATION of bTdre-soEied or radiant. The
name has been horne by women who have
proved themselves worthy of the name. Ii
Is not in the manly breast alone that valor is
found or needed. There are those who, hav-
ing learned
how sublime thing it is
To suffer and be strong,
have displayed a courage which shames that
oil the warrior, on the battlefield. Caroline
is sometimes abbreviated to Carrie Cdllit
and Cal.
Il know fair young GIRL
With an eye like the sky's own blue,
Or sweet spring flower when its azure leaves
| Are bright with the early dew
Oh, a thing half earth and halt divine
Is she-that fair young CAROLINE

An -AMERIcAN SENrIM1Nr.-Were we to select
from the speeches which have been delivered in
Congress 6n the death of Gen. Taylor, one senti-
ment which, above all Others ought TO be deeply
engraven upon the American heart, tswould be
this: b
II trust in God that these kind relations willbe
cherished, and that we shall on this day vow on
the altar Of country to discard all bclse ring
and strife: all section al dissehsohs and live and
die as Americans should, in supporting be- pnion,"
Mr.. Kings Speech in honor of General IayLor. in
the Senate Of the United States.
That the voice of an American and Pat
riot, and it deserves to be taken up and echoed by
every American press in the Union If there are
men in this Union who are not Of it; if there are
fanatics who would apply the incendary torch, to
the only shrine of human liberty upon the face of
the earth: if there agitators who would tear it
down, that they may elevate themselves upon the
pedestal of its ruins, it is time that the sober
sense Of the great American people should put
them down. and that the great mass shonld no
longer permit the feto to hazard the peace, the
happiness and the dearest rights oc all. Let
Northern and Southern Dissinion ISIS, if they can
not b. contented with Union which is satsfac-
tory'to the immense majority of the people, go
forth and form Republics Of their own. There is
in the immense regions of Polar Ice abundant
room for those hot heads of the North, whose fiery
philanthropy would abolish even an iceberg, and
the West Indies is plentiuly sprInkled with spicy
little islands, where Southern disunionists could
erect modern Republic, and live and die in peace
and security; under the shadow of their own vine
and fg-tree.
And when every man Of this class shall be
taken away, ther. would be perceDtihe diminn-
ton OF the American People. Here would yet be
the great Republic, numbering its twenty millions
of heroic freemen, who love their country and lib
erty above section and abstraction, and who would
maintain to the latest generation land of Law,
Religion and Liberty.
Let Congress, let Americans, north and south
of Mason's and Dixon's line, especially let the
whole Press, North and South, adopt the noble ex-
hortation of Senator King, and "vow on the altar
of country to discard all pickering and strife,
all sectional dssensions, and live aud die
Americans should. in support Of the Union" Let
People. Press, and Representatives adopt such
spirit, and the death of the late lamented Taylor
will have prepared the way for the resurrection of
patriotism, the uni1n, the harmony of his country
and the Bow, which spread its beautiful arch over
his cold remains, will prove sign from Heaven
that the deluge of sectional anmosty and discord,
W hich have just subsidized, shall return more.
