tilu SeCureQspSac9zt To- Inc country,
we are pained Ito use no stronger
worO to See Mr.. Clay, and the other
friends of the bill, refusing to stand by
Mr., Eoote IN, his .laudable efforts Ito
amend the Senate bill, and by their
stubborn resistance TO change, adj
ding fuel to the flame. The failure
of Foote's amendment, which was
small enoughE Econcession 10, Southern
rights, satisfies us that the bill cannot
passfors if Mr.. Foote'S proposition
could not pass, how could we expect
that Mr.. Kings motion could sue
coed! The Senate adjustment bill,
therefore, we regard as beyond sal
vation. Shall we then infer that no
measure of Cancellation and peace
can succeed, and that this noble I'm
ion is, consequently, TO be riven into
fragments! We, cannot yet bring
ourselves 10 the conclusion, that the
representatives fthe people are so
bereft Of good sense and patriotism
as not 10 be able to devise some fair
and just measure of compromise, that
will give peace and strength to the
Union Must history record that the
representatives of the only genuine
Republic in the world have cast un-
der their feet the noble constitution,
and that, unable TO weather The storm
they have abandoned the proud YES
sci that hears the sacred clements of
constitutional liberty3 Will they,
IN their blind madness, crush the
hopes of all lovers of liberty, and be
pointed al as the failhiesS guardians
of the temple which they themselves
have broken into fragments, through
their own disscnsions.

HEARTY READING.-Cur;osity is
passion very favorabi3 to the love of
study; and apassion very susceptible
Of increase by cultivation. Sound
travels SO many feet III a second; and
light travels SO many feet in second.
Nothing more probable: but YOU do
not care hon light and sound travel.
Merry likely: but make yourself care;
get up, shake yourself well, pretend
TO care, make bcEcfto care. and very
soon you mN 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
terrupts you III your pursuit; and toll
crate no other conversation but about
light and sound; and catch yourself
plaguing everybody to death who APP
proaches you, with the discussion of
these subjects. lam sure that man
ought TO read as he would grasp
nettle:-do ii lightly and you get mo-
Tested; grasp it with all your strength,
and you feel none of its asperiiies.
There is nothing so horrible as lam
guild 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 Livy before
you, and hear the geese cackIing 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
Canne, 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 of Lombar-
dy, looking at Ilannibal's weather
beaten face, and admiring the splen-
dor of his single eye; this is the only
kind of study which is not tiresome,
and almost the only kind which is
moi useless: this is the knowledge
which gets into the system, and
which a man carries about and uses
like his limbs, without percciving that
1t is extraneous, wcighty, or incon-
yenient.
TnE Two Flowers or CREATION.
We men love flowers, and flowers
are like women in their beauty and
sweetness, 50 they ought to grow UP
together. No hower-garden looks
complete without woman in il; no
woman ever seemsso lovely as when
she is surrounded by flowers. She
should have lier fragrant boquet at
the party; window plants in her par
ior; ii possible, some rich and rare
Towering shrubs inher conservatory;
but, better than all these, and supply
ing all, every woman should have a
flower garden. Every man who has
the least gallantry or paternal feeling
