purpose Of regulating the traffic with Cuba and

MISCELLAN Y
Mr.. Webster.

The stern and gloomy attitude of the Secre-
tary of State alarms and irritates the Scott
leaders. He treats their compliments and
their complaints with the same grand and
lofty scorn. Pursuing the even tenor of his
way, he rewards his friends and Furnishes his
enemies. and complacently disregards The howl
of dissatisfaction which greets his conduct
MIR. Seward tried to hatter him into acquies-
cence in the nomination of Gen. Scott by the
cheap process of making windy sreech in his
favor in the Senate, but the hollow praise fell
almost unheeded upon the Premiers ear. Ac-
cordingly, Mr.. Stewards organ, the New York
Tribune. tries what effect hard blows will have,
sweet words having failed to produce any. That
paper of a recent date devotes two long col
umns to the tomahawking of Webster and his
friends, alluding to both in the most contempt
uous language. We copy from the Tribune of
the 30th August:
"WHAT WILL Mr.. WEBSTER Dos The poll
ticians by trade, who have undertaken the
desperate enterprise of making President out
of Franklin Pierce, having fixed the free
soil nomination exactly to their liking, are now
devoting their attention to Mr.. Webster and
his possible uses. They evidently regard him
as rather promising deposit of guano, where
with the sterile field of their presidential
speculation may be tertilized if the utmost
skill and energy be evinced liz the application.
| Hence Pierce himself has been lavish of per-
sonal civilitics and fulsome batteries since his
| own nomination and Mr.. Webster's dsappoint-
ment, Just as he has been glorifying Mr.. Clay,
since that statesman's death. after having hunt
ed him with blackening calumnies to the grave
How far Mr.. Webster may feel grali6ed with
these and like posthumous honors from those
who have used him as a bugbear for half a CEN
tury. is question rather of personal than of
public interest"
| What Mr.. Webster will do,-says the Wash
ington Union,-is no longer a question:
| What Mr.. Webster has done is now subject
for examination. He has declared that Pierce
will be elected-he has removed and so re-
buked, the friends of Scott from places in his
gift-he has rewarded the open foes of Scott
and we suspect it will soon appear that he has
resolved openly TO oppose the nominee of Mr.
Seward and Mr.. Stanley. His position is the
result not SO much of personal disappointment,
as of deep and determined purpose to make
his mark against the intrigues of the sectional
leaders who now control the whig party; and
we suspect he will maintain it against all the
combinations and threats of the Scott leaders
Things look very like it indeed.

wife had been Staked and lost at cards, and the
key of her room handed over to the winners !
In the first case she escaped by jumping out

A Touching Story.

The following story IS related by Lieuten>
nant Parsons in his Nelsonian Reminiscen-
ces. Richard Bennet, when mortaly woun-
ded, III one of Nelson's great battles, had
requested that miniature and a lock of his
hair, should be given, by Lieut.. p, 10 his
sweetheart, Susetle, in Scotland. The gal.
liant Lieutenant thus describes the interview !:
Ii was at the close of day, when
bright July sun was on the point of setting,
that | arrived at the very pretty cottage of
Susette's mother. TREMENDOUSLY stated who

HARD CEMENT. A cement which gradually
indurates to stony substance may be made
by mixing 20 parts of clean river sand, two Of
litharge. and one of quick lime, into thin
putty of linseed oil. The quick lime may be
replaced with litharse. When this cement
is applied to mend broken peices Of stone. az

stony hardness. A similar competition has
been applied to coat brick walls, under the

QUARRELs AND HARD WoRDs-If anything
in the world will make man feel badly, ex-
cept pinching his fingers in the crack of door,
it is unquestionably quarrel. No man ever
fails TO think less of himself after than he did
before it degrades HIM in the eyes of others,
and, what is worse, blunts his sensibility on
the one hand, and increases the power and pas
sOnate irrtability on the other. The truth is,
the more peaceably and quietly we all get on the
beter-the better for US, the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out of ten the wisest
course is, if man cheats you, TO quit dealing
with him. if he is abusive, quit his company
if he ISLANDERS you, live so that nobody will be-
ieve him. No matter who he is, or how he
msuses you, the wisest way is to lei him alone;
for there is nothing better than this cool, calm,
and quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we
meet with.
