TIE FEsIALE rEMrER. - We like,
siyS ilc Olive Branch, to see woman
full of spir, and life; for dull, Snpinr,
prosy woman Is poor affair indeed.
And we have no particular objections to
seeing "ihc sparks ny" occasionally
when something really stirring occurs.
We like 10 see her iovfu! and lively;
and if she has little spice Of wayurrv,
we can put up with il very well, nay,
we like it all the better. But IA cross
sour temper we have no opinion of; for
woman who can never look pleasant,
but isalways trelling anil scoding, will
make an unhappy home for all those
within her house. And we bad as
lief undertake 10 live in vinegar barrel
in thunder storm, as to live in n
house with such woman. Let wo
man wear sunshine on her coun,enancc.
and il will drive the dark cloud from
her husbands face, and Joy will thrill
through the hearts Of her children. Lot
II woman g words be soothing and kind.
and everything is hnppy aronnI her
Her influence will he powerful. Others
will catch her sweet temper, and cnch
will try to be the most like. her. Sweet.
ness OF temper in woman is more
valuable than gold, and more 20 BE-
praised than beauty. Blu, may Heaven
keep us from an un,anGd shrcw, whose
looks are worm wood and whose words
are gall! We had rather take Daniels
place with the lions than to think of
living within gunsliot Of such
lcrmig"ni. If women knew lhrir
power, and wished to cxrr, it, ,hcv
would always show sweetness of
temper. for then they are irresistible.

, !, 0Tyin Of Cock. FiyAti;ag: The
origin Of cock fighting is said to be
derived from the Athcnians., So
says the legend Whenirhcmistocles,
the Athenian general, was matching
hs army against the Persians, he
cspicd two cocks lighting; upon which
he ordered Ills men to halt, and a.
dressed them as follows; ~ s#
g Behold these do not fight for
their household gods, for tho monu-
ments of their ancestors, nor for glo-
ry, nor or'liberty, nor for the safety
of their children, but only because
the one will not succum5 to the
other.' This so encoura gcd the
Grccians that they fought with re.
doubled courage, and obtained a
splendid victory; in commemoration
OF which cock fighting was ordained
by law to be annually practiccd by
the Athenians. '.

TEMPERANCE VS.. SUCKER. "A
witty clergyman had been lccturi,g
one evening in a country village on
the subject of Temperance, and, as
usual, after the lecture, the, pledge
was passed around for signatures.
+" Pass it along that way" said the
lecturer, at the same time pointing
towards a gang Of red noseh loafcrs
near the door. Pass it along, per
haps some of those gentleman would
like to join our cause" Said he.
"Wc don't bite at the bare hook"
grnffly muttcrcd one Of the ru,nmies.
"Wcll, " replied the ready clergyman,

called suckers that do not bite!"

AN ADVENTURE IN THE WRONG

BY DIR. D, MONTGOMERY BIRD.

The following is, we believe, a some
what old story, but, as it is capital one
Of its kind, we take the liberty Of laying
it before our readers--knowing that those
who have not read it before will have
some hearty laughs, and those who have,
at least a succession of smiles:
know not what extraordinary coniunc-
tion Of the stars took place on the first
Friday Of June, 1888, nor how my planet
in particular, came to perform so many
antics, in or out Of its proper sphore. Be-
fore that day, had never had an advcn-
ture in my life /; the current of my exis-
tence had flowed on as evenly and quietly
as the stream of mill-pond and no wit
or skill of author-craft could have spun

a single paragraph. l was born, and

numbered by any near relatives, and pos

But we think the Southern party will not be
governed much by the names of men or Of party.
II will support whoever it may deem most
worthy-Whig or Demonstration its support
can be useful; and We think will be rather
more particular this time than ever before.
As for supporting the Compromise, or acqui-
escing in it, that would be too absurd The
only measure of the Compromise in which a
Southern right was recognized, is already a
nullity in practice. The Compromise has no.
thing now to recommend it to the South, but
the most empty of distractions.

that when II was formed. it was intended to &C.
commodate both co -operationists and secession
lists; that the withdrawal Of the former from
ths association was their own act and not iusti.
fed by the preference expressed by majority
OF the association for separate secession, espe-
cially AZ such expression of opinion was no
further binding upon the action of the State,
than as the opinion Of portion Of her citizens,
subject TO ratification or rejection by majority
Of them; that the door was open for the return
to the association Of those. who had withdrawn,
as it had been for their departure. That, as
the majority of the association had not acted
with the view of embracing none but Secession
lists as its members did not become that majority
to ask the union with them of those who had
withdrawn contrary TO its wishes or intentions.
And that SCcessionists sufficiently manifested
their conciliatory spirit, by expressing their
readiness, (the majority Of the people of the
State, having apparently decided against sepa
rate Secession at presently to sustain any meas
ures of effective resistance, which may be pro-
posed by the Cooperation party and enacted
by the State convention. After considerable
debate, Mr.. Burden offered the following res
olution as substitute for the amendment,
which was adopted with but one dissenting voice.
ResolUed, That this association is prepared to
sustain the Cooperation Party Of the State, in
any measure of valid and effective resistance to
the aggressions of anti-slavery.
Pending this resolution, it was moved that the
association adjourn sine die, which was not sec
onded.
The resolutions as amended, were then unan-
imously adopted, and the association adjourned

Accounts have been received from CONSTANT.
nople 10 the 18th ult. A project had been
brought forward for the construction of a rail.
road from Constantnope to Ad6anople, hut it is
doubtful whether the government will grant the
projectors the necessary concession.
The Courier de MarSeile, on the authority
of letter from Constantinople, dated Dec. II,
states that the great piece Of news there is that
the Sultan has attended the soennzation of the
marriage, according to tho rites Of the Roman
Catholic Church, between the son of Mr.. F.
with the daughter Of the Prince of B..
The report had long been spread MAT the Sultan
intendedrto be present at this ceremony, but no
one would believe thata thing so unprecedeni,d
could take place. The Sultan, however, arrived
at the nuptal mansion without ceremony, es-
corted by two horsenen only, and followed by
few domestics. He was received with graft
tude by the clergy aud the family of the bride
and bridegroom. A throne was prepared for
him, and after he had taken coffee and smoked
the sacramentsl pipe, the ceremony commenced.
His Majesty stood up the whole time, saving
that he ought not to hear the name of Almighty
God called upon in any other position.

We, Franz Joseph, &c.
In the patent Of March 4, Is49, number Of
specific political rights were announced and at.
tributed to the inhabitants Of the archduchy OF
Austria, above and below the Ems, Of Salzburg
Syria, Illyria, Carinthia, Carniolia, Tyro, Bo

tuition published at the same date, have been
subjected to careful examination.
In consequence Of reasons become known 10
us upon hearing the opinions Of our ministers
and our Reichsrath, We have seen fit to annul
the said patent Of Marcel 4, ls49, and with il
the fundamental right then attributed TO the in
habitants Of the crown lands aforesaid.
In so far as special alterations have not already
been made in the separate heads of that enume.
ration Of rights, we reserve to ourselves the
liberty TO regulate the same by means Of par.

We declare, however, expressly by the pre- 8
ent patent, that we will uphold and protect
