True Happiness.

1t is strange truth-true alike to both
men and women; one which all feel, which
few will confess-though the human heart
may know peace, content, serene endur.
ance, even thankfulness, it never does and
never can know happiness-the sense OF
complete, full-rounded bliss-except in the
joy of happy love. There is little poem
of Chamisso's, called The Three Sisters.
Each, crushed with misery, contends that
her own lot has been the hardest to bear.-
One, death has bereaved of her lover
another, ,mourns over her fallen idols shame;
the third speaking of the two, says, envy
ingly, "Haue they not lived and 7oued 90
In one brief sentence all my bitter cause
Of sorrow dwells; thou arbiter, oh pause
Ere yet thy final judgment thou assign,
And learn my better right, too clearly proved
-Four words comprise it, ] ,cas necer loued
The palm of grief, thou wilt allow is mine.
Chamisso knew humanity there can be
no grief like that grief.-Ts Head Of The
Family.

Origin of the caudle Lectures.

Douglass Jerrold, in the preface to the
new edition of the Caudle Lectures gives
the following singular account Of their orig
inal conception
1t was, says Mr.. Jerrold, black, thick,
wintry afternoon, when the writer stopped
in front of the playground of suburban
school. The ground swarmed with boys
full of the Saturdays holiday. The earth
seemed rooted with the coldest lead and
the wind came sharp as Shylock's knife,
from the Minories. But these happy boys
ran and jumped, and hoped and shouted,
and-unconsciou men in miniature lin
their own world of frolic, had no thought of
the full length men they would some day
become dra xn out into grave citizenship;
formal, respectable, responsible. To them
the sky was of any or all colors and for
that keen east wind-cutting the shoulder
blades of old, old men of forty-they in
their immortality of boyhood had the red
der faces, and the nimbler blood for 1t. And
the writer, looking dreamingly into that
play ground, still unused on the robust jolli-
ty of those little fellows, to whom the tax
gatherer was as yet rarer animal than
baby hIppopotamus. Heroic boyhood, so.
ignorant of the future in the knowing en-
joyment of present
And the writer, still dreaming and mus
ing, and still following no distinct line Of
thought, there struck upon him, like notes
of sudden household music, these words
Curtain Lectures. One moment there was
no living object save those racing, shouting
boys; and the next,as though white dove
had alighted on the pen-hand Of the writer,
there was-Mrs. Caudle. Ladies of the ju-
ry, are there not then some subjects of
letters that mysteriously assert an effect
without any discoverable cause? Other
wise, wherefore should the thought of cur
tain lectures grow from school ground
among crowd of holiday school
boys should appear Mrs. Caudle3
For the lectures themselves, it is feared
hey must be given up as farcical desc
: alton of so emn time-honored privilege e:
may be exercised once il lifetime--and
that once having the effect of ahundred re-
,et tiions, as Job lectured his wife. And
[ob's wife, certain Mohammedan writer
lelivers, having committed fault in her
owe for her husband, he swore that on his
ecovery he would deal her hundred
tripes. Job got WELL and his heart was
ouched ..and taught by the tenderness to
,eep his vow and still to chastise his help
nate, for he smote her once with palm
,ranch having hundred leaves.

TENNEssEE.-We like the tone of the
Whig press in this State. We have yet to
meet with the first Whig paper which
doubts the success of Scott and Graham
AS here, so there. few fancy politicians,
whose love of being talked about can only
be gratifed by turning somersets, have ta-
ken the sulks. But the party is more buoy
ant by being relieved of their dead weight
and for each of them there are scores of
accessions from the masses to the good
cause.
The Knoxville Register concludes a long
article on the state of feeling in East Ten
nessee, in the following terms
We have good report from the Wings
of every county in East Tennessee that
we have yet heard from. Gen Scott will get
almost the entire Wing vote Of East Ten
nessee-there being few, who, perhaps,
will not vote for him-and he will get a
great many more Democratic votes than he
will lose Wings. During the present week
we have conversed with number of gen.
tlemen from different parts of this county
and they have informed us of about twen-
tv Democrats who will vote for Gen. Scott
while they do not know of single Wing
out of Knoxville, who will not vote the
Whig ticket.

The BlOOIners.

WHAR's THE BLooNER ?-Empires ris
and fall. flourish and decay, and so d
STYLES of dress. The "Bloomer,' however
has had brief existence the election can
vass has come on and cut it short off-al
though it was reasonably short before, AM
behind too, for that matter. We no longe
read about the "Bloomer," and amidst al
the electioneerrng platforms that have beer
got up, there is no "Bloomer" platform
Perhaps, though, the Bloomer shows con
spicuous enough on a dead level, without
any platform to stand upon.
But it is gone and faded. The last ant
only Bloomer has paraded our streets; the
reign of tyranny and prescription is agar
relnstated, and women and men both mus
submit to petticoat rule. 1t is only in Nor
mondom that this Turkish style could have
any real performance, for the Mormons
have the substance as well as the shadow
they not only adopt the Turkish costume
but also adhere to the Turkish manners,
and have several wives. Lucky or unlucky
fellows, these Mormons, as the case may
be: Solomons in their way--the Solomons
of the Salt Lake.
But the Bloomer was real political at
fair as the world goes. 1t was not troubled
with too much modesty it stuck out and
commended itself to the attention OF the
public; it kicked up bobbery sure, and
thought itself famous it took noise for aP-
plause, as many others have done. Whar's
the Bloomer now3 Laid up in some sew
eral trunks; hung upon various pegs; the
unthinkable-about turned into summer
pants for some little brother the skirts, Sc,
raised into dresses for the smaller fry, or
turned to some less honorable use. All
gone, and dead failure
Dearly beloved hearers, there is a lesson
in the tate of the Bloomer. Beware of its
fate. Beware of exalting things too high,
or of thinking too highly of yourself. In
novations must come gradually. Men and
women. though not peculiarly the slaves OF
custom, are not apt to jump into direct op-
position to established customs, or to suppose
that every man or woman who opposes such
must necessarily be benefactors of their
race. Change is not always improvement;
dictionaries, whether in politics, religion,
or costume, are not necessarily patriots,
saints OF such like. There are great many
big professions being made nowadays
1t is not often that sincerity deals IN such.
Beware
If we have broken in upon the serious
ness of political discussions for few mo-
ments, we hope to be excused. Perhaps
even out of this folly some lessons might
be learned-some hints taken. At any
rate, we have right to indulge ourselves
with some relaxation, and therefore lave
made and now repet the inquiry-Whar'c

The fair object of this song was bonnie
lassie In Dunblane. Her family were of
poor extraction, and Jessie herself was con-
tented with peasants lot. When Tan
nahlll became acquainted with her, she
was in her teens. slight, dimple- e-cheek-
ep, happy lassie; her hair yellow colored
and luxurant; her eyes large and full,
overfowing with the voluptuous langor
which is SO becoming in young blue eyes
with golden lashes. Tannahill was struck
with her beauty, and as in all things he
was enthusiastical, became forthwith her
ardent worshipper. But her heart was not
to be won. Young, thoughtless, and pant
ing to know and see the world she left her
poor amourante to con songs to his mis-.
tress' eyebrows, while she recklessly ram
bled along the fowery meads of Dunblane,
or Of an evening sang his inspired verses
to him with the most mortlfying non
chalance. This was two-fold misery to
the sensitive poet. A creature so sweetly
elegant, so dear to him, so very lovely and
innocent and yet, withal, so encased in in
sensibility,as apparently to be neither con-
scious of the beauty of the verses trembling
on her dulcet tongue, nor caring for the
caresses OF her lover Twas too much: to
mark all this, and feel 1t with the feeling
of poet was the acme of misery. But
the Flower of Dunblane' was not that un-
feeling, unimaginative being which Tanna-
hill pictured her. She was creature all
feeling, all Imagination, although the bard
had not that in his person or manners to
engage her attention or to arrest her fancy.
The young affections are not to be control
led. Love-almighty love-must be free,
else il ceases to be love.
Tannahill was plain in his person and un-
couth in his manners, and felt and express
ed discomfort at the cruel disappointment
which it had been his unhappy fate almost
invariably to encounter. Jessie, on the
contrary, looked upon the world as bril-
liant spectacle yet to be seen and enjoyed
-as vast paradise full of the beauty of
heaven and of earth, where men walked
forth in the image OF their creator, invest
ed with his attributes, and women trod
proudly amidst the lovely creation, an
angel venerated and adored. To express
dissatisfaction under all these circumstan-
ces was, to her mind, the extravaganza Of
misanthrope, the madness of real lover
Of misery, and sufficient cause for her not to
respect him. Both viewed the world thro'
false medium, and their deductions, al
though at atvariance gave color to their minds
and accelerated their fate. jessie could

SHOP KEEPING IN SWITZERLAND IN OLD
T1MEs.-Alpine shops in Switzerland about
century ago, consisted of lonely huts, built
at the entrance of the principal mountain
passes, the door secured by latch from the
depredatlons of the wolf, and the low lat
ticed window revealing to the passing trav-
eller, cheese, bread, coarse cloths, and al.
most every article his necessity could re-
qu;re, each with the price marked upon it,
which he was expected to deposit in the
money box hard by, there being neither
salesman nor shopkeeper; in fact not an
individual within leagues of the solitary
shop, the shepherd who had thus rsked his
all, coming once month from the heights
where his flock renamed for the summer,
to count and carry off his profits. Such
confidence at the present day would be
deemed insanity.
