"Augustus," in the last Standard, says he

corning Liberia and the efforts of the Colonization
Society, &c. and he goes on to give a sort of his
torcal sketch of the colony and its present con-
dition, but does not answer my enquiries at ALL

$50 miles along the coast, and considerable dis
lance into the interior" WE'LL is that all the ter
ritory in Africa that may be appropriated to the
use and occupation of the contemplated millions
of liberated Slaves which hereafter to be sent
there from our country? I hope "Augustus"
or some other person will furnish the public with
the true amount of square miles of arabic land
upon, or within reach of, the western coast of
Africa, suitable for the cultivation and sustenance
of the civilized negro. | have always understood
the history of Colonization in Liberia-every body
knows that. But am exceedingly anxious to
learn the true extent of the territory thereunto
pertaining. In human society, physical susie

lie at home in bed, and think what charming
dashing fellow he is; they never hear the young
curate read his sermon so sweetly and think how
pale and interesting he looks, and how lonely he

the pains, and listen to the delightful doctrine of

no marriages; and the hosts would die in their

Address before the Columbus Historical Society.
We were among the large audience, assembled
at the Court House on Tuesday evening, to hear
the above mentioned address delivered by COL j.
B. Cobb. AS literary composition it was good
thing, and, as is usual with the speaker, well
spoken, but we think in rather too low tone of
voice. For reasons which were given by the
author before its delivery, the matter of the dis
course not pertenent to the occasion as could
have been desired-the manuscript having been
prepared for presentation to the public, through
different medium than that in which our com
munity received it. And yet, it was listened to
with marked attention, and almost breathess 81
lence from beginning to end. The only fault which
we detected in the delivery, consisted of defects
in the pronunciation Of the words epoch, italian
and pagentry, which were accented as here writ
ten. But this is a small matter, and was noticed
only by few persons in the large assembly
Still, Col c., and all other asprants for literary
honors, should know that distinction and eminence
in their favorite persut, can be attained only by
being ''nothing if not criticaP'-critical in the
presentation, as we'll as the acquisition of knowl
edge. PETRARCH.

THE SIcKNEss.-Itis a subject of grateful obser-
walton that the epidemic continues to abate, al
least within the city limits and that the tenants Of
the infrmaries are being so reduced in number that
they can all be discharged probably during the
present week There IS still however, much suf-
fering and much want to be provided for, though
thanks to the timely sympathy ofgenerous friends
abroad as well as at home. the convalescing poor
will not be allowed to suffer, and many widow
and many an orphan will bless the hands that have
been extended so literally to their relief If oul
unacclimated friends will consent to keep away a
little longer, we may hope soon to welcome their

WIt is Of no USe."

If you are hollow hearted and animated by no
ennobling sentiment-if you have no principles,
and sheer at virtue and religion-you cannot be a
gentleman. Your manners may be fascinating,
but they are the glitter of the serpent. Your
clothes may be of the richest hue, but they only
serve to hide the rascal There is no restraint but
law and public opinion. You hunt for prey under
a suspicious garb, and decoy with lying tongue.
Your face wears a smile, but your heart is full of
rottenness most foul. You can never give out the
ring of true coin-it's no use.
A silly woman thinks she can make more than
women Of her daughters. She tolls in the kitchen,
and they shipper and drawl nonsense in the parlor.
She rises with the Sun, gets breakfast, while they
read the last newell in bed. She tolls over the
wash-tub while they drum on the piano. The
earnings of the farm are squandered to put on
their backs aud to put them through fashionable
school. They are reared in idleness, and become
accomplished ladies, utterly ignorant of all that
womanly knowledge so creditable to the sex, and
unfit for anything but to dress finely, talk nonsense
and marry simpletons like themselves. It's no
use, mother; your silly dreams will never be real
lied.
A young man-smoOth- faced stripping, with
little breeding and sense ripens fast and believes
himself an exceedingly nice young man. He
chews and smokes tobacco, swears genteelly,
coaxes embryo imperials with BEARS grease, plays
cards, and strays with the women across the gate
by moonlight. At concerts he eats peanuts, and
manifests his ill-breeding by ill-timed stamping
and slang phrases. He stares at every lady he
meets, pulls his sbirtcoar and sneers at begrimed
laborers as he passes them in the street. It's Of
no use, young sir, you never can be man.
