CSTA good deal has been said, and well said
too, about men speaking of their wives as theil
"ladies." 1t would sound very ridiculous to
hear leady call her husband ''my gentlcman''-
would it not or ask another lady L" where her
gentleman was?" when inquiring for her husband
One is just as bad as the other, giving up plain
''husband'' and plain ''wfe,'' and a plain way of
calling people by their right names.
We shouldn't be at all surprised if that class
of society who hunt for roundabout ways to ex-
press their ideas, might in little while, when in
quring about ones sons and daughters, adopt
such modes of expression as these:
'' How is your oldest masculine offspring 2" Or
g How is your little feminine darling who ad-
dresses you as parent ?"
We can imagine one Of these hig h- flown Gun
natural'' individuals addressing complaint to Il
ncighbor in the following language:
My dear gentleman your specimen of the
canine species, was by your youngest masculine
offspring, set upon my 'lady'S' feline pet, and had
it not been for your Oldest feminine Ethiopian
bond.woman, it would, by compulsion, have been
forced by compulson to depart this life"
There is a good deal of deserved satire in this.
There is nothing in reality that is more vulgar
than an affectation of high-sounding language in
cases where the employment Of simple terms
would not only be more expressive. but better

LITERARY LABoR.-Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton
in a lecture lately in England, gave the following
history of his Literary habits:
Many persons, seeing me so much engaged in
active life, and as much about the world as if |
had never been a student, have said to me, ''Whcn
do You get time to write all your books How
on earth do you contrive to do so much work?
shall perhaps surprise you by the answer make.
The answer is this: q contriyc to do so much by
never doing too much at a time.' A man to get
through work well, must not over work himself
if he do too much to-day, the reaction of fatigue
will come, but he will be obliged to do too little
Tomorrow. Now, since began really and ear
nestly to study, which was not till left college
and was actually in the world, l may, perhaps,
say have gone through as large course of gem
cral reading as most of men of my time. have
travelled much-I have mixed much in politics
and in various business of life, and, in addition
to all this l have published about sixty volumes,
some upon subjects Of requiring much special re-
search. And what time do you think, as a gener-
al rule, | have devoted to study-reading and
writing? No more than three hours day, and
when Parliament is sitting. not always that. But
then, during those hours have given my whole
attention to what | was about.''

IMPORTANT TEsTIMoNY.-We select the following
suggestive sentences from the letter published in
the last number of the Trumpet, from the pen of
the Rev. Theodore Clapp, the well known clergy
man of New Orleans. 1t is addressed to the Rev.
Thomas Whittermore, editor of the religious pa
per Of the above name. 1t was written in reply
to letter from Mr.. w. Mr.. Clapp thus speaks.
We omit the theological views expressed for OBJ
yious reasons:
Dear BrOther.-l concur with you that slavery
is bad evil, nor is there person in Boston more
opposed to the Fugitive Slave Law than am.-
But till repealed, enlightened Christians, think,
must see that non-resistcncc is the true policy
You say, 8 thousands of people among you think
that this country is under the slave power ire
dcemaby. They know not what to do.' Ny poor
counsel is, initiate the example of Jesus Christ,
who did not denounce in his preaching, the politi-
cal abuses Of the government under which he liv-
ed, though, at the same time, he inculcated the
social and religious truths, truths which involve
their complete and everlasting overthrow.
have no gloomy apprehensions as to the COM
ing results of slavery in our Republic. But year
or two before his death, the Hon. John c. CAL
houn spent several weeks in New Orleans.
saw him often, and had lengthy CONVEX satons
with him on the subject of slavery. A purcr man
never lived. On one occasion he spoke to me- in
nearly the following words: Slavery cannot
live long in the United States. 1t will have run
its race by the end of the next one hundred and
fifty or two hundred years. Slave labor is too
expensive to last long. In populous commu-
nifty it must ever be disastrous not only in its
bearings on their pccunary interests, but also in
many other respects. Because, in such a state of
society, free labor is far the cheapest and will
consequently be preferred. According to the
eternal law of Heaven, iii the long run, the most
expensive and unpropitious forms of labor must
everywhere be superseded by the least costly and
most elcient.'
Mr. Clapps add to this view Of Mr.. Calhoun:
How true this philosophy! How beautiful
The good in the world is destined finally to tri-
umph over all that is evil. DO you doubt? Full
of patience and hope let us wait for Gods own
time, not in sloth and selfshness, but in a life
ardenty, lawfully, and perscveringly devoted to
the cause if truth and happiness. TO mortal ken
the movements of Providence may seem dilatory.
Are they not sure? Can the Creator lotcr on his
way, or take any steps backward? DIR. Franklin
once said, ''Thc Dicty need not be in hurry,
for he lives in eternity, and cxpatiates throughout
infinite space" We should remember that God
will crafty the noblest aspirations, if we only al
low him time. will add that the Hon. Henry
Clay, when in New Orleans, expressed to me the
same opinion with Mr.. Calhoun concerning the
end of slavery.
