SPEECH OF MIR. PHILLIPS, OF ALABAMA.

We had occasion the other day aude to Mr. Phlpss
late speech in the House the Nebraska question when
published the showing the southern view Of the
question of squaer sovereignty The whole speech APP

it win fully sustain the high estimate which have placed
upon of the orcble arguments made the
bill in either branch Of Congress. Mr. Phillips has taken
up methodicaly and argued logically and ably the several
points which have arisen in the discussion We do not
why anybody should doubt the ultimate judgment of the
popular mind this great question when the discussion
conducted with the dignity and ability which characterize
this speech How proudly the friends Of the Nebraska
bill can refer it in contrast with the ranng anatcism

We refrain from asking the special attention Of the
reader to Mr. Phlpss remarks upon the Badger amend

FRIENDS OF THE PRINCIPLE, BUT ENEMIES OF
THE BILL

The Albany IN. w Argus is fair specimen of that
class of who say they for the principle and yet
who opposed the bill TO establish the Territories
1t is edyng to observe the tone and temper OF the Argus
on this subject 1t graduates its support of the principle
by the contradictory suggestions in regard to the
bill It seems only know that the President is in favor
of the measure and the Argus is extremely hostile to
the President it is quite willing to see the bill and the
President the bottom of the We do not quarrel
with this philosophy We allude to il simply as curious
development of party tactics 1t is easy to understand
why maa may oppose the Nebraska bill the ground
being adverse popular sovereignty in the Territories
because he thinks the Missouri Compromise compact OF
because his constituents against it But the Argus
would refuse to be cassed under either Of these heads
The Argus is nothing If not national The point is, how
far the people who read the Argus who have heretofore fol
lowed the teachings of the Argus and who if you please
agree with the Argus in the opinion that the President
ought to have Disseminated between the democrats who
voted the democratic ticket in 1852, win receive the new
instructions in political duties suggested by the position
the Argus on the Nebraska bill Are they ready to Oppose
il because some Of the New York democrats who boldly
accepted the last Baltimore platform and the Inaugural
now oppose e principles contained in this Inaugural and
in this platform when applied the Nebraska bin Are

Queer Operation.

Galignani's Messenger of the first of
April, announces the following extraOr-
dinary importations intended for \. York:
The custom house officers of Biberich in
the Grand Dutchy of Nassau, on visiting
a steamer which was then descending the
Rhine, were surprised to find not fewer
than twenty-one young girls aged from
IA to II, accompanied by three men,
They give information to the director of
the Police and he made inquiries, from
which it appeared that the men were tax
ing them to New York to place in houses
of prostitution. The girls bad been re-
cruited in the rural districts of Weisbaden,
Kriesnach, Uringen and Weilbourg, and
some of them had left unknown to their
parents Orders were given to arrest
the men, but only two of them were ar
rested, the other having run away. The
girls were ordered to be sent home.

TO make his New Years visits, when he
perceived that he had forgotten his visit

new groom to 60 and get them from the
mantlepiecc in the dining room. The
servant did as Ge was ordered, and the
gentleman commenced his visits; the foot
man leaving bis cards. After some time
had passed, he asked the groom if there
were still many cards left. "Sir," an
swered the latter, 81 have still the king Of
spades, the king of hearts and the knaye
of clubs" We presume the "trick" was
not ''taken" in very good part by the cal

A Wonderful Cure.

The following wonderful effect of one

tised SO extensively in many of the news
papers of the day is about as we'll ua-
thenticated as most of remarkable cases
which are backed up by long array OF
bogus certificates:
4 boy had swallowed silver dollar
None of the faculty could devise any al
deviation, whereupon the inventor of the
re-all medicine was sent for. 1T is ev-
ident,' said he, that SO considerable a
coin can never be forced up by any emet-
ic known to science. However, let him
take this pill, and hattering consequences
will be likely to ensue.' An hour after
wards the boy threw up the dollar, but
in small change, principally five cent
pieces.

an Asiatic warrior woman, Fatime Han

six hundred horsemen as her suite. She
is an old woman of about sixty years Of
age, of very withered appearance, and
very like Gipsy, As she passed through
the capitol last week, on horseback like
man thousands of people focked to have
view of her, especially women. The
Turkish females are quite taken aghast

What a mighty procession has been
marching towards the grave during the
past year. At the estimate, since the
lst of January, 1853, more than 81, 800,
600 of the worlds population have gone
down to the earth again. Place them in
long array, ard they will give moving
column of more than $4,000 to every mile

of it; ponder and look upon these aston
isbing computations! What spectacle,

Girls should also be early taught that

NhAo SnOulo dIoo o0 O"il touSnV 'n n"'
they are responsible beings; responsible
to God for the right use of all the mer-
cies bestowed upon them; and that it is
one of the chief of earthly blessings, and
that it is their duty to value and preserve
it.
But much is learnt from example as
well as from precept; therefore, let no af-
fectation oflanguid airs in a teacher give a
child the idea that there can be anything
admirable in the absence of strength
We do not wish that girls should cultivate
anything masculine; for an unfeminine
woman cannot be an object of admiration
to the right Judging of either sex. But
female has no occasion to affect to be
fe minnie; she is SO naturally, and if she
will but let nature have its perfect work,
she will, most likely, be not only feminine,
but also graceful and admirable.
The school studies of girls should be
so arranged that they may afford mental
food and satisfaction; otherwise, as soon
as the lesson hours are over, they will,
most likely, turn with avidity to any
nonsense they can learn from foolish
conversation, or to reading some Of the
trashy books of the day, to the injury of
all mental and moral health, and the al
most certain production of delicate wo-
men,
To those who are already women, and
are unfortunately classed among the del
icate, we would say For the sake Of
your husbands, and all connected with
you, strive reSolutely to lose your claim
to such an unenvable distinction. If you
are conscious of the least feeling of salts
faction in hearing yourself spoken of as
delicate, be assured it is degree of men,
tai disease that allows the feeling. If
you ever suppose that you can gain your
husbands sympathy by weakness, remem-
Der you might gain more of his esteem
and satisfied affection by strength. Fif-
ty years ago, it was well said that, 20
man of feeling, extreme delicacy in the
partner of his life and fortune is an OBJ
ject Of great and constant concern; but
sen1blaace Of such delicacy, where it does
not really exist, is an insult to his dis
cernment, and must ultimately inspire
him with aversion and disgust 1t is
not for US to say how many put on the
semblance of delicacy as covering for
idlness, or from any Of the weak motives
that prompt such an afectation-con-
science will whisper where this is the case
and happy will it be for the household
of any one who can be reused from such a
pitiable state.
Could women only know how many
husbands are bankrupt because their
wives are delicate ) how many children
are physically, mentally, and morally
neglected and ruined, because their moth
ers are 'delicate;' how many servants be-
come dishonest and inefficient, because
their mistrcsses are 'delicate'-the list
would be SO appalling that possibly we
might hear of an Anti idelicate-ladies AS
sociation, for the better promotion of
family happiness and family economy.
Meanwhile, let each listen to her own
conscience and the dictates Of her better
judgment, and remember that health is a
gift of God, and we cannot slight gift
without also sighting the Giyer.-L0oly'S
BOOk.

: Come back, come back, my chiIdbood."-
L. f. L.
I'd not recall my childhood:
With all its sweet delight,
Its simple, bird-like gladness,
1t was not always bright.
Even morning had her tear-drops,
And spring her clouded sky,
And on the faircst cradle
I've seen tie shadows lie.
I'd not recall my childhood,
Though tender memories throng
Around its rosy portals,
Preclusive to life's song;
The full voiced living chorus,
Is swelling round me now,
And a roster light is resting
Upon my maiden brow,
1 have made changeful journey
Up the hill of life since morn;
1 have gathered flowers and blossoms,
I've been pierced BY many thorn ;
But from out the core of sorrow
l have Plucked jewel rare,
The strength which mOrtals gather
In the ceaseless strife with care.
Now I grasp life's burning breaker,
And howe'er, the bubbles glow,
Ill pause not till I've tasted
The deepest wave below;
Though bitter dregs may mingle,
The crimson tide shall roll,
In full and fearless currents
Through the fountains of my soul.
No! I'd not 60 back to childhood.
From the radiant flush of noon,
And when evening closes round me,
1 crave one only boon:
Amid the valleys dark,
Its dangers and its dread,
The signal star of Judah
To shine above my head.
