VOTING FOR PRESIDENT IN FRANoE.--lhe
American reader may bs at some loss how to
account for the vote o f Yea and Nay cast at the
recent election for President in France. The fol-
lowing bulletin, issued by the Minister OF the
Inteiior, immediately preceding the election, Will
explain the matter:

at is veil understood that those who wish 10 MAN.
tain Lou Napoleon Bonaparte and give him the pow
er TO establish constitution on the basis pointed out
in his proclamation the ID OF December, must vote
with the bulletin bearing the word Yes"
The Pari. correspondent of the New York Ex-
press says tbs handy invention suggests the de-
vice by which Louis Napoleon would cling to
the sovereignty, even should the vote, by some
extraordinary chnce, 60 against him. He would
simply declare that the people supposed they
were saying yes, when they said no, would
thank them for the unanimty of their vote, and
Immediately take possession of the Tuil cries.

Females in Russia.

Owing to the enormous consumption OF
the army, the female population of Russia
greatly exceeds that of the males. Wo>
men are of little value; the banks will
only advance money upon the male seris,
counting the others as over and above
We are at loss for words to describe,
without offence, the demoralizlng result
of those things. The master-not SO
often the lord as the agent or overseer,
who lyrannzes over the wretched peo-
ple-ensIaves his own brother, sells his
sister, and often his daughters, into SER
vitude worse Than death. The lash, the
universal punishment, or stimulant, is not
spared to women. A French gentlemen
who was travelling through Russia was
thrown into prison at Moscow without
shadow of pretext. Day after day the
wretched serfs, whose masters sent them
10 be hogged by the obliging police, were
brought before the grating Of his dungeon,
to which he was drawn by some irresls-
tible attraction-some spell of terror
The sights he witnessed and the sounds
he heard had such an effect upon his
brain that he became nearly idiotic. One
day two young girls, milliners, scarcely
twenty years old, were sent by their mis-
tress 10 be logged. They were torn
with the rod. They writhed and shreked
for mercy. At the sight of the bleeding
bodies of these unhappy girls whose sin
ews were LAID open with each stroke,
the Frenchman could hardly keep HIM
self from fainting. At length the fog
ging ceased but not until one of the girls
fell, batbed in blood, and dying, to the
EARTH Another traveller in Russia, hear
ing one morning the cries of most intense
suffering from number of women who
were being hogged, could not restrain
his tears. The lady of the house, find
ing him in this state, and not understand
ing that the sight of such torments could
so move him, informed him that it was en-
tirely from kindness and attention to a
stranger that she had ordered eighty of
her servants to be fogged for neglecting
TO gather wild stra wberries for his break
fast. The last instance we can find space
10 give of the utter disregard for the rights
of humanity IN the treatment of the RMS
sian population, is the forcible carrying
off of the young children, The Emper>
or sets the example and carries off the
children of the Poles and Jews by hun
dreds, in pursuit of remorseless policy
directed against the two races. The
mobiles carry off children not only for
PLEASURE says M. Mitchelet, but also
as means of speculation. We will cite
as an example one who trained up whole
troops of dancers, some Of whom he exhib>
tied in the theatres of Moscow, and sold
others, at high prices to those mobiles
who amused themselves with operate
performances IN their own mansions. -
We need not do more 10 demonstrate the
universal corruption and debasement thai
pervades society under the most perfect
form of absolute government.

Scraps from the Dutchman.

Whether you are sailing through rivers
or society, always avoid the fats that is,
if you don't wish TO get stuck mentally
as well as otherwise. Remember that it
requires more tact to converse with one
fool than dozen wise men.
Nothing is worse for ambition than
early success. The youth that took all
the prizes at College, seldom rises above
an attorney when he comes to mix with
the world, while the poor dolt who spent
a month in writing an essay for the stove,
no sooner gets beyond the reach of his
tutors rattan, that we find him delivering
an electrifying speech in Congress-
Out of all the Senators now at Washing
ton, only one was considered "a smart
boy while at school, and he is the least
influential man in the whole body.

The Pastors Daughter.
BY GEORGE P. MORRIS.

An ivy-mantle cottage smiled,
Deep wooded near streamlet's side,
Where dwelt the village pastors child,
In all her maiden bloom and pride.
Proud suitors paid their court and duty
To this romantic sylvan beauty:
Yet none of all the SWANS who sought her,
Was worthy of the pastors daughter.
The town gallants crossed hill and plain,
To seek the grove of her retreat,
And many followed in her train,
To lay their riches at her feet.
But still, for all their arts so wary,
From home they could not lure the fairy,
A maid without heart they thought her,
And so they left the pastors daughter.
One balmy eve in dewy spring
A bard became her fathers guest;
He struck his harp, and every string
To love vibrated in her breast.
With that true faith which cannot falter,
Her hand was given at the altar,
And faithful was the heart he brought her
To wedlock and the pastors daughter.
How seldom learn the worldly gay,
With all their sophistry and art,
The sweet and gentle primrose-way
To woman's fond, devoted heart
They seek, but never find, the treasure,
Although revealed in jet and azure.
To them, like truth in well of water,
A fable is the pastors daughter.

nosed constable in the western part of the

had often escaped pursuit, but who, he was in
formed, was at that time engaged in neigh
boring cornfeld. The constable, wishing to
take him by surprise, took roundabout d.

when, 'squatting,' he crawled stealthily along,
and at last pounced upon his victim, clenching
him firmly around the waist excalming, you re

The Light Of Stars.
BY H. W. LoNGFELLow.

The night is come, but not too soon;
And sinking silently,
AL silently, the little moon
Drops down behind the sky.
There is no light in earth or heaven
But the cold light of the stars:
And the first watch of night is given
To the red planet Mars.
Is it the tender star of loves
The star of love and dreams
o no from that blue tent above,
A hero's armor CLEANS.
And earnest thoughts within ME rise,
When behold afar,
Suspended in the evening skies,
The shield of that red star.
o star of strength see thee stand
And smile upon my pain;
Thou beckonest with thy mailed hand,
And am strong again.
Within my breast there is no light
But the cold light of stars;
/ give the first watch OF the night
To the red planet Mars.
The star of the unconquered will.
He rises in my breast,
Serene, and resolute, and still,
And calm and self-posscssed.
And thou, too, whosoe'er thou art,
That readest this brie: psalm,
As one by one thy hopes depart,
Be resolute and calm.
o fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know ere long,
Know how sublime thing it is
To suffer and be strong.

The Sailors Grave f:
Or, Woman's Constancy.
BY T. HAGUE.

saw a maiden bending DER
The weather beaten form
Of one who bravely reached the shore
Amidst raging storm.
He was youth of noble mien,
Nor Time upon his face
Had drawn one solitary line,
Or left single trace.
And, as he started from his sleep,
And half Enclosed his eyes,
His mind still wandered DER the deep,
Beneath the blackened skies.
From day to day with tenderness,
Beside the sufferers bed,
She gazed with longing earnestness,
Till Lies last hope had fed.
And when they laid him in his grave,
Far from his native home,
saw her gentle bosom heave,
And heard feeble moan.
And when the time had passed away,
Another came and tried
To win her heart and make her say,
That she would be his bride.
And when at length she gave her hand,
Alas he little thought,
His hopes were built upon the sand,
With cruel evils fraught.
IT'S thus we blindly, fondly hope,
LIES early joys to sip,
When hidden causes dash the cup,
OF pleasure from our lip.
The years roll on, but yet their flight
To her brings no relief;
But still the humble cottage light,
Is seen upon the cliff.
And still the winds go bowling by,
And sweep the pine-clad shore,
And keep the heavy laden sigh,
Unheard amidst the roar.
And while the sea-bird sits and sleeps
Upon the ocean wave,
There's one who vigils nightly keeps
Beside the sailors grave.
And when the moon serenely sails,
In brightness Ger the lea,
At midnight from her bed she steals,
To gaze upon the Sea.
