Typographical FEATURES.


fer briefly to the geographical and typographical
features of the State of Nicaragua. These are
somewhat remarkable. Ii an accurate map OF
Central America existed, it would exhibit In this
State q separation OF the great chain OF the Cor
dilIeras into two divergent ranges, oisess general
hight than the great ridge Itself and having occa
si0nal partial interruptions This divergence
takes place in the northern department OF Sogoyla
one branch extending due southeast toward the
Atlantic It's outposts come down to the very
shore and form the prominent landmarks upon
that coast The range itself lntersects the gan
Juan river about fifty miles above ITS mouth
J-Don It's northern base. and nearly parallel 70 IT,
a6ws large and long stream, the Rio Escondido
better known in the maps as Bluehelds river.
All the streams upon the other side OF the range
fall into lakes Managua and Nicaragua or INTO the
San Juan river, This range resumes It's course
mon the southern shore of the San Juan, but
now bears nearly due south, connecting with the
Pacific range in the elevated regions OF Costa
RIGA.
The Pacific range follows the general direction
Of the coast sometimes rising into lofty volcanic
cones but generally sustaining the character OF
bighr ridge in places subslding into low Hills and
plains. This range preserves a nearly uniform
distance from the sea OF from ten TO twenty miles !
consequently there are no considerable streams
falling into the Pacific Tor the extent which 1t con-
tinues /. uuites, as | have already said, with
the eastern range in Costa RIGA. The course of
this range seems to have been the line OF volcanic
action, and extinct craters and beds Of lava are
to be met at short intervals throughout its length
The lofty cones Of the Viejo Santa Clara, Acos,

not to mention many others, may be regarded as
belonging to this range, aud are prominent land.

A SERIOUS KISS.

i An Austrian nobleman, one Of the hand
soonest and most accomplished young me
in Vienna, was rassionately in love with
girl of almost peerless beauty. She wa
the daughter of man of great rank an,
influence at court, and on these considera
tions as well as regard to her charms, sh,
was followed by multitude of suitors.-
She was lovely and amiable and treatec
them with an affability which still kep
them in her train, although it " as general
ly known that she had avowed prediIec.
tion for the Count, and that preparation:
were making for their nuptials. The Count
was Of refined mind and delicate sensi.
bility; he loved her for herself alone-for
the virtues which he believed dwelt in a
beautiful form. Like lover of such pre-
fections, he never approached her without
timidity, and when he touched her, a fire
shot through his veins that warned him not
to invade the sanctuary of her lips. Such
were his feelings, when one night at the
house of his intended father-in-iaw, a par
ty Of young people assembled to celebrate
a certain festival. Several of the young
lady's rejected suitors were present. For
feits were one Of the pastimes, and all went
with the greatest merriment till the Count
was commanded by some witty young lady
TO redeem his glove by saluting the cheek
Of his intended bride. The Count blush
ed-trembied-ad advanced to his mistress
retreated-advanced sgain-and at last,
with tremor that shook every fibre of his
frame, with modest grace he put g his
lips the soft ringlets that played upon her
cheek, ard in evident confusion retired to
demand his redeemed pledge. His miss
tress gaily smiled, and the game went on.
One Of her rejected suitors, who was of
a merry, unthinking disposition, was adjud-
ged by tho same indiscreet crier Of forfeits,
'as his last treat before he hanged HIMSELF"
to snatch kiss from the object of his re-
cent vows. A lively contest ensued be-
tween the lady and the gentleman-it las
ted for minute, when the lady yielded,
though in the midst of cnnvulsive laugh,
and the Count had the mortificatio the
agony to see the lips which hiS delicate
love would not allow him to touch, kissed
with roughness and repetition By another
man, and one whom he despised. Without
a word he rose from his chair-left the room
and the house-and by that GOOD NATuRED
KISS the fairest boast of Vienna lost her
husband and her love. The Count never
saw her more.

WHAT IS PREJUDICE.

Prejudice is the contrast of Judgment,
since It anticipates reflection. II has often
been acknowledged that precipitation Of
thought, as well as speech, entails very
fatal consequences, and that 9 man who
through life, can wisely stear clear Of. the
double Inconvenience, deserves the appellai
ton of happy. He thinks and thinks again
before he lets his tongue mingle in the
flow Of conversation, and consaits his in
most self ere he ventures to decide. He
has also learned by experience that Nsture
has her mask, Science IFS obscursties, The
World its srti6ces, and Merit its enemies;
and consequently never determines, with
out having first deeply searched into the
matter. He lifts the veil that enfolds each
object, and discovers ihstit would be mad
ness to Judge too harshly and at first sight.
What would the result be, If we trusted
to our eyes only? Why the sum would be
pronounced TO turn round the earth instead
of the latter encircling the orb Of day.
The prejudices of single tnind can
easily be destroyed; but when they have
been reduced into systems, and found their
way into social circles, formed to aecredft
them, there is no remedy.

sures would Be proposed, for yoa hsd the
last message of the President early IN De-
cember, in which he adhered to his former
Recommendation. AZ. TO ths. blu which
might be brought forward by the Finance
Committee, pursuant to the recommends
tion of the message, you did not see It be-
fore you adopted your resolutions, 1t least
in one branchof The General Assembly.
The bill reported by the Finance Com
mittee, known as the Sub Treasury Bill,
and which you could not have considered,
when you instructed me, differs in several
important particulars from the bill of the
Special Session; and with proper inodifca-
tions | feel confident that some Of you, as
well as myself, would pronounce it mea-
sure Of great public utility. Yet, without
knowing any of the provisions of. the bill,
or how it might be amended, or changed in
the Senate, you have instructed me to vote
gainstit.
You thus see, that if were disposed to
depart from our evade the principles I
have long protested, yon have furnished as
fair an opportunity as desire; because in
the first place, there is no evidences that
your instructions are in accordance with
the will Of the people Of Tennessee, with
whom rests the paramount right or power
to instruct; and in the next place, because
you instruct me to vote against bill, Of the
contents Of which you were wholly ignor-
ant, never having seen it. But, sirs, the
abuse of right does not prove that it does
not exist; and it is better to adhere to
sound principles, BY men who have the
Of ui1biic affairs: than to ahan.
don any ofthose fundamental doctrines on
which the people must rely, to carry out
in practice the representative principle it.
Ielf. ! therefors wave all exception TO
your proceeding, and shall vote upon this
when it comes before me, accord
ing to your instructions. Ia doing this
act upon great principle which deem
essential in free Republican government;
md hope you will not suppose for q mo-
nent that am influenced in the slightest
legree by desire to conciliate you- favor,
beyond the simple discharge ofmy duty.

THE WIFE'S INFLUENCE.

A woman has her husbands fortunes in
her power, because she may or she may
not as she pleases, conform to his circum-
stances. This is her first duty and ought
to be her pride. No passion for luxury or
display ought for a moment to tempt her TO
deviate in the least degree from this line
of conduct. Any other course is wretch
edness itself, and inevitably leads TO ruin.
Nothing can be more miserable than the
struggle to keep up appearances. u II
could succeed il would cost more than 1t IS
worth: as it never can, its failure involves
the deepest modification. Some OF tie
|sublimest exhibitions of human virtue have
been made by woman, who have been pre-
cipitated Suddenly from wealth and spien'
dor to absolute want. Then mans LOT
tunes are in manner in the hands OF his
wife inasmuch as his own power OF exer'
.ion depends on her. His moral strength is
increased by her sympathy,
her counsel, her aid. She can aid him I'M
mensely by relieving him of every care
which she is capable Of taking upon, her
self. If she be prompted by true affection
and good sense, she will perceive when ms
spirit is borne down and overwhelmed
She, of all human beings, can best minis
ter to her needs. fit be weary, in the
assiduity it finds repose and refreshment.--
If IL be harrassed and worn to morbid irrlta
bility, her gentle tones steal over 1t with
soothing more potent than most exqnisit'
music. If every enterprise be dead' an' an.
hone itself almost extinguished, her patti
anno ond fort;tude have the power to rekin
die them in the heart, and he again gos
forth to renew the encounter with the 'o''
and troubles of life.
