wires were again laden with the intelli.
gence the death Of the wife Of man
who stands prominent before the civiliz.
ed world-the wife Of Lewis Cass is dead
She possessed virtues such as are ever
the attendants of female excellence
virtues that make the lady, and which
win her the veneration of those with
whom she is brought into association.
The honorable statesman, on the verge
of'he grave as he is; gricves her loss; but
neither his anguish nor the anguish OF
Millard Fillmore can be more acute
than the anguish of the man occupying
an humble position in the walks of life,
who at the same time was deprived OF
of her on whom his love centred, al.
thoug h the country was not apprised ol
it by telegraph and the press.
Our sympathy, alike, is extended to
all; for he who loses a good wife becomes
deprived Of an incstimablc jewel.

Tom COrWin-GOOd Advice.

Mr. Harvey the Washington corcspon
dent of the Philadelphia North Ameri'
can, tells the following tale.
"About three years ago young man
presented himself to Mr.. Corwin for a
Clerkship.-Thrice was he refused; and
still he made fourth effort. His persc.
verance and spirit Of determination ava.
kened friendly interest in his welfare,
and the Secretary advised him in the
strongest possible terms, to abandon his
purpose, and go to the West, if hecould
do no better outside the Departments.
"My " ung friend" said he, ,,go to the
North west, buy 100 acres ofgovernment
land-or, ifyou have not the money to
purchase, squat on it; get you an ak aud
a matock; put up log cabin for your
habitation, and raise little corn and
potatoes; keep your own master, with no
one to give you orders, and without de.
pendence upon any body. Do that
and you will be honored, respected inau'
entail and rich. But accept a clerkship
here, and you sink. at once. all inde'

Death From Camphene.

We have noticed within few weeks
repeated instances of death from the OK.
p!osion Of camphene. The mail of yes.
terday adds ,wo more 10 the list, one in
New York where property to the amount
Of about thousand dollars was also
burnt, and that ofthc wife of Pcrly allen
Of Fiskdalc, Miss.
The particulars Of this last accident are
OF the most shocking character. She
was sitting by the lamp when it. burst,
from some unexplained cause, commu,
nicating the fire TO her dress. There was
no one in the house but an aged man,
who was too feeble to render any asss.
tance. Mrs. Allen ran to n bed, in
which she rolled herself to extinguish
the fire from her person. She succeeded
in doing so, but not until her clothes
were entirely consumed from her waist
downward, and her flesh burned to q
crisp.
/ In the meantime, the fluid had set the
room on fire; yet, Notwithstanding her
terrible condition, chad the almost su'
perhuman courage and presence of mind
think of extinguishing the fire, which, by
this time, had communicated to various
parts Of the room. With this purpose
in view, she ran 10 the we'll and drew
pail after pail Of water, which she dash.
cd around the room till the fire was sub.
ducd, thus saving the house and life o
an aged and helpless man. She then
ran into the streets and made her condi.
ton known. She was so badly burned
that portions Of the flesh land also fin.
ger nails came off, and one part of her
back was almost literally roasted
burning her inwardly. SheDlingerel in
excruciating, torture, but in full posses
sion of her faculties for ninc.hours, when
death terminated her sutfcrings.-She
was ffty.six years of age.
And yet hundreds of thousands of fam.
lilies will continue to make use
ofthis explosive and highly inAamablc
material, in lamps of glass, and place,
them on tables easily overurnel.-
Servants will be allowed % carry them
around the house, ladies' with dresses of
cause will persists in their use, and chill
drcn will be lighted to bed by them,
when it is certain that many deaths have
occurred, and many more will occur in
spitc..ol the warnings which every week
and almost every jay.gives us against,
such folly.

Value Of Kisses.

A French girl, a. store. being solic.
tied to allow kiss, declined, except at
the price Of a little bag which lay on
the enamored caviller's counter, and
which, as he said, was filled with cents.
The bargain was struck; but TO the sur.
prise of Dulcinea, as TO her satisfaction,
on opening the bag it was found to con.
tain, in the place Of cents, good full
weight Of forms. The gentleman claim.
ed the bag; but tho girl was unyield
ing. Thersupon resort was had 70 tbe
tribunal, the plaintiff alleging that there
was evidently mistake, and that sim.
pie kiss could not by far be appraised al
such sum-. The tribunal, howevs', gave
the case to the girl-lst, because What is
given is given; and Cd, because tho yal &

The Ladies vs.. the sTimes.'

we hear II rumOrcu tlat some OF the lall
ones are a little disappointed that the Times
publish no more tales-Lorc tales? We sup
pose so. Now here is n predicament. We
have for long time had our doubts as to the
tendency Of novel reading; but "as well to be
out of the world as out of the fashion," is an
old adage, and to q considerable extent a true
one; and with the ladies', (who by the by W.
very much ndmire,) that kind Of reading seems
to be quite fashionable, and here the adage is
against us. Again our Difference TO the ladies
is such, that when their opinion comes irfcon-
tact with our preconceiyed notions, our resolu-
ton is somewhat shaken, and We are led tc
pause and consider. Then, as it is particular.
" The province Of the ladies' to lore; and as
black eyed, auburn -curled, chcrubic little
elves, are common household affairs; and eau.
,ious old pas and mas are a little too ancient
in their notions of propriety in love matters,
and stem old uncles and aunts are too intoler
able in their requisitions, and the plain unso'
phslicated exp cssion Of that hallowcd passion
from pure and guileless hearts, too subject to a
busc from the present state OF society, how sLal
our Misses yea Matrons, who happen to be pos
sessed of rickety consumptive husbands, know
how to lore, and that tashionaby, unless they
have fashionable love tales to read! We are on
ly surprised at our own short sighicdness IN moi
looking little more closely into this matter be-
fore we had taken n position that circumstances
,o,,,,olc to NJ, T{nwpvor W.. bop SI
posed that Lore, which is Deity pcrsonilied,-
that sentiment that by mere intimation lights "
in every heart fond recollectons Of the past, o.
animated hopes Of the futurc-that by express
sion seldom fails to find a sympathetic response
from the most degraded heart,--that hallowct
fire that unitcs kindred hearts in twolold core
that is not easily brokcn-that author of peace
that sanctifies the nuptial couch; that consc
crates the fresidc hearth, and renders home the
sweetest note that falls upon the wandelers car
we had supposed that that spirit OF the savlo
Of mankind that is promised as resident of The
true believers heart, filling the soul with love,
unmating the very countenancc with seraphit
fire, working out in all the acls of the creature
the image OF his creator, was something more
than the lustful desires, and lascivious acts gen
orally portrayed by many of our romance mon
gers. Yet we are happy to state that our liter
ulure is undergoing change in this respect
and that many of our tales now published seen
to be conceived in better spirit and described
with better taste. Therefore, allowing us tc
scrutinizc rather closely, we premise our lad!
readers few more tales in future.
