world in general, and to the other Unit
ed States iii particular, to know that Mis-
sissippi is as calm as sunshine, and as
bland as the breezes ofa delicious spring
She was fretted slightly at the pranks Of
the extra session, and seemed during
their enactment, and for short time af
terward, to wear decided frown upon
her countenance. That has been re
moved, however, by the soothing infu.
ence of time, and she is now rather in
clined to laugh than scowl at the remem,
brance of the cause of her previous bad
temper. She owes this healthy condition
to her own good sense, which has prevail
ed over all attempts to provoke her into a
dyspePtically wrathful and iudignan;

DON'T MARRY CoUsINs.-The Super
intendent Of tho Insane Hospital at In
dianapelis, in long and interesting re.
port of its condition, very justly says:
The intermarrying of relatives is a
cause of degeneracy ot both mind and
body. and tends directly to insanity, In
several instances that have come to our
notice during the past year, more than
one member of the same family have be-
come insane. There are in the Hospital.
at this lime. two sisters from one family.
brother and sister from another. We
have also, as is rarely the case, hus,
/ and and his wife as patients in the ins,i-
tuition, but neither of the last mentioned
cases. so far as | can learn, suffer from
hereditary taint. The husband became
insane from--, and the wife from
anxiety and loss of sleep. in the care OF
her sfficted family during the early peri
cd of the husbands insanity.

The movement of the Northeastern states
Of Mexico has a very material bearing up
on our own national interests. 1t is very
certain, that should they succeed in gaining
their Independence. they would not main
tain it long without seeking an admission
into our own glorious Confederacy. They
have not the character, nor the credit, nor
the resources to maintain national unity
Of their own, and all of their interests, and
most of their sympathies; would irresistibly
inpel them to copy the example of fTexas.
1t is equally certain that there would be a
large party in our own country in iavo- oi
their annexation. Rut this question could
not be raised without again stirring up the
most dangerous elements Of the slavery
controversy. The territoryis now free soil
but the Southern States would never allow
it to remain so without the most desperate
struggle. They would never. if they
could help it, allow themselves to be cnvi-
roned in this manner by complete Gordon
of free States. We want no such annexa-
ton. We want no circumstances to arise
from which even the question of annexa-
ton mey spring. To make the best ofour
present enormous acquisitions will be e.
nough to task our uttermost energies for
generations to come. Manifest destiny
must be satisfied with its recent conquests,
and give place now to manifest duty; and
that duty has to do only with the mainte-
nance of the peace and prosperity of the
Union as it is.-N Y Cour. and Enquirer

The shop Girls ofParis.

The following is an extract from
French Gieanings" by Ike Matvel, and
is fair specimen of the sprighay style
which pervadcs the whole work:
"But ifit be good philosophy to bear
meekly with the cheateries ofthe shop
men-it is doubly so with the shop girls:
"The high-heeled shoes, and high head
gear that turned the soul of poor Laurence
Sterne. have, indeed gone by. but the Gri-
seite presides over gloves and silks yet,
and whatever she may do with the heart
strings. she make the purse strings yield
You will find her in every shop Of Paris
except those of the exchange brokers.
where are fat middle-aged ladies. who
would adorn the circles of Wall street.
there she stands with her hair laid smooth
as her check, over her forehead-in the
prettiest blue muslin dress you can posi-.
bly, imagine bit Of narrow white lace
running around the neck, and, each little
hand set off with the same-and a very
witch at a bargain. He who makes the
shop-girl of Paris bate one jot of price
must needs have French at his tongues end.
There may be two at a time. there
may be six, she is not abashed; she has the
same pleasant smile-the same gentle cour-
tesy foreach, and her eye glances like
thought from one to the other. You may
laugh-she will laugh back; you may
chat-she will chat back; you may scold
she will scold back She guesses your
wants; there they are. the pre,tiest gloves,
she says, in Paris. You cannot utter half
a sentence, but she understands the whole,
you cannot pronounce so badly, but what
she has your meaning ina moment. She
takes down package upon package; she
measures your hand, her light fingers run
ming over yours-QueUe pollie petite main!
She assists in putting pair fairly on!-
and how many pair does Monsieur wishl
Bot one!-ah, Monsieur is surely joking.
See what pretty colors-and she gathers
a cluster in her fingers; and SO nice fit
and she takes hold of the glove upon your
hand.
Only two, ah, it is indeed too few, and
SO cheap. Only sixteen francs for the six
pair-which is too little for Monsieur; and
she rolls them in paper. looking you all
the time fxedly in the eye. And there is no
refusal; and you slip the three pieces Of
meney on the counter, and she drops them
into little drawer. and thanks you in a
way that makes you think, as you go out.
that you have been paying for the smiles
and nothing for the gloves

To be read to the Defenders Of Merican
Liberty, aoho under my orders, swear to
combat against Tyrants:
All people on earth, both ancient and
modern, have seen themselves compelled
by the enormous weight Of the oppression
Of unjust and cruel tyrants. to take up arms
and reconquer. with fire and blood, their
violated sacred rights, reassuming that
sovereignty which, as a gift Of the God Of
the Universe, belongs to them. The peo.
pie are sovereign-governrnent was only
instituted to make them happy and carry
out their will The people, then, are the
grantor and government mere agent, and
the whole world knows that when an agent
far from carrying out the will of the gran
tor, or procuring the well being of bis IN
terest, usurps powers not granted to HIM,
and takes unto himself his masters prop
erty and rights, thereby causing his ruin,
no other resource is left but to remove that
bad servant. and in his place put more
faithful one.
In this case the Republic of Mexico finds
itself, and more particularly the North and
Northwest portions Of said Republic
The unfortunate end OF the last war left

thousands Of dollars to learn if our rights
