political arena and explicit copcnan Of honor entered into
that the series OF measures commonly called the Compro
Of disturbing questions Of slavery.
Let us cherish with confidence, until compelled by un
misakabe evidence otherwise, the conviction that the
masses OF both parties Of the nonslavehoding States
mean, in good faith, to fulfil their solemn and public
pledges before the nation And while we have exacted
at their hands this evidence Of the nationality Of the two
great parties let us, as Southern men, be careful 10 furnish
grounds Of attack upon our party honor. or do ann

The Modern American Belle.

The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair
She winks and gigglcs and simpers,
And simpers, and giggles, and winks
And though she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than she thinks
She lies abed in the morning,
Till near the hour of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she's called so soon.
Her hair is still in papers,
Her cheeks are still dabbled with paint,
Remains Of the last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint
She dotes upon men unshaven,
And men with the FLOWING hair"
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such foreign air.
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon
And though but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in a swoon.
Her feet are SO very little,
Her hands are SO very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
And her head SO very light;
Her coer is made Of cosmetics,
Though this she will never own;
Her body's made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow,
Who swells with foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair.
One Of the very best matches
Both are well mated in life;
She's got fool for husband,
He's got fool for wife.

EXTRACT FROM A WHALEMAN's JoyR-
NAL.-Ameng the ailments to which
sperm whales are subject, is the Jump
ing toothache. 1t operates on their ner-
vous systems. as it does upon those of
mankind, rendering them grabbed and
frac tions Just at daybreak, one morn
ing. while we were cruising on the off
shore ground, violent commoton in
the water, about two miles ahead, re-
sembling breakers, attracted attention.
1t continued unabated till within fifty
rods of it, when sperm whale, (for such
it proved to be,) threw his entire body
into the air and fell back into his native
element with tremendous report. OF
course the yards were hauled back. and
the boats lowered but several minutes
elapsed before it was deemed prudent to
approach the monster. Finding, how
ever, that he had no idea of becoming
quiet, we advanced with caution, and
succeeded in securing one iron firmly in
his back which rendered him more
restless. Giving him plenty of slack
line, we removed to a respectful dis
tance, hoping he would sound or retreat
but he was not disposed to do either. -
So taking our oars we pulled sufficiently
near TO give the boat-header an opportu-
nifty to lance him. lie seemed to be
aware of our intention, for he turned
and rushed towards us with the design
OF giving US fawning, which we mar
rowly escaped. During the next half
hour he chased US, and it was with much
difficulty that we avoided him. When
near us, she turned his back and raised
his jaw, bringing to view two handsome
rows OF ivory Among terrific objects,
an enraged whale holds a prominent
place.
An hour passed in unavailing attempts
to accomplish the desired object; the
whale becoming more furious, and the
hope OF conquering him growing fainter.
AT length, while the attention of tho
monster was directed towards us, the
mate came upon him from an opposite
direction and dealt death wound. re-
lleving us of a burden of anxiety. which
indicated itself in the paIlid counter.
ances aud nervous agitation of the boats
crew. lie was very reluctant to yield,
and the death-struggle was long and Vi
olent. 1t cat has nine lives, as is
sometimes remarked, that fellow had
nineteen.
Before night his blubber was in the
try-pots, and his jaw was stripped of its
covering. On extracting the teeth, the
cause OF his singular movement was re-
vealed. The cavities in several con.
tained a large number of worms, an
eight of an inch in length. The teeth
were perfectly sound, but the marrow or
nerve of the tooth, which was an incl in
diameter at the lower extremity, was in
many of them entirely consumed by the
insects that seemed to have bred there,

PLYMOUTH Rock.

A bark is moor'd below,

What seeks she, where the hunters bow
Hath evermore held sway!
Who stand on Plymouth Rock,
Yon feeble, alien band
Why dare they winters widest shock,
Thus, in 4 stranger land
Their suiferings who can tell,
Save the bitter blast that blew
And the freezing SHOWS that fell
Ere their lowly cabins grew
An axe among the trees!
The rugged hearth-stone flames!
Up spring the mushroom huts-arc thcs
For Englands highborn danes
Hark to the war-whoop wild;
See the red Indians crest
The prayerful mother clasps her child,
The warrior sirds his breast.
Their trust, mid fear and toll,
Was in the Strong to Save y
Their ploughsharc breke sterile soil
Their faith disarmed the grave.
Recount their deeds of yorc,
Sons of these ancient sires,
And kindlc on this sacred shore
True Freedoms beacon fires;
And give Him praise, whose Hand
Sustained them with His grace,
Making this Rock, whercon ye stand,
The Mecca of their race.
