HD~ A project is now on foot, among a
number of wealthy gentlemen of Cincinnati,
to raise fund of $4,000 to purchase one
hundred acres of land near the city, for the
purpose of park or garden, the land to be
laid off in carriage drives, and house to be
erected on the place for the reception of visi-
itors. The plan proposed is to raise list of
one hundred stockholders, at $500 per share,
and we understand that nearly forty subscri-
bers have already been obtained.
1t would be a fine thing if the citizens of
St. Paul would initiate The good example set
them by the inhabitants Of the Queen City of
the West We can see no reasoa. why ST..
Paul can not be blessed with Parks, Gardens
and Shade Trees. as we'll as other cities.

CHoLEnA.-Fhe cholera broke out with
much violence on board the Galena, on her up,
ward trip. Altogether we are informed there
were nine cases: a small portion of which will
probably prove fatal. Persons travelling on the
river should be extremely careful about running
into excess of any kind. A change of diet, to-
gether with an immoderate use of stimulants,
no doubt, were the causes that led to their at
tack. One of the patents, when we were at
the levee, was lying in canoe on shore, envel-
oped in blankets, surrounded by number,
who seemed to be endeavoring, by all the
means in their power, to resuscitate the inva-
lid who was just sinking into state of inseh-
sibility to pain, which usually precedes disso-
luton in cases where the patient is Frustrated
by this disease. We entertain no fears, that
it will prevail here, as an epidemic. But in
case it should visit us, we advise our readers,
to diet sparingly, and above all things not to
give way to unnecessary and groundiess fears.

A Little Lecture to My Bears.
rIom Paneh'. AImaaas Id -.

"My Dears-Love is like Chan
cely, il is a deal easiei to get into il,
than to get oul again. Take my adj
vice, my dears-never believe a man
before marriage, and never trust him
afterwards. II men, my dears, were
to pay, like servants, for everything
they broke, they wouldn't be so fond
Of breaking their hearts for every
pretty girl they saw. The fortune of
a Roihschlld couldn't stand, my
dears, against such rulnous amount
of breakages. Why nave known
"A mans heart break as often as an
American bank, and yet he would
open the next day with the same
brass-plalc on MS face, on which you
could plainly read insurance. and
his heart would go on issuing the
saue false notes as before. Besides,
what becomes of all their broken
hearts, should like TO know? Where
do they all go to? Along with Me
old moons, | suppose; or they may
be keeping company, there's no
knowing where, with all the pins
that are lost, each heart being stuck
through with a pin, like the curious
insects in a museum.
There's no need 10 tell you, | lm
sure, my dears, about choosing a
husband. A woman's instinct gen
orally guides her in those little mat
tiers. But this | will tell you, that
husbands differ as much as geese /;
but the soitest mind is not always The
worst. The softer your husband, the
n, re pliable YOU will find him, aud
all the easier for you to twist him a
round your little finger. Husbands
trusted more TO their wives, and less
TO themselves. there would be mora
happy marriages; bat, until they
learn what is due TO our sex, and are
fully prepaid to pay il, that happy
balance will never exist in house
hold which, TO the husband, should
be the source of as much as large
balance is at bankers but at present
the wife is not allowed TO have any
share or interest in the one, or 10
participate in the other. ! will con
clude, my dears, with giving you a
few rules with regard 10 the choice
of husbands in general, aud though,
my dears, have never venlured on
the stormy seas of natrimony my self
there the fair lecturers voice slightly
irembled with emotion, still, ! have
watched from the haven of single
blesssdness many Of the squalls and
breezcs that have taken place on

them, and have derived no small
knowledge from the numerous ship
wrecks ! have witne sed in conse-
quence Of them buy this knowledge
] am only too willing to impart to all
those who are anxious TO embark for
the United States.
shall conhne my observations, my
dears, TO the small circle of my exper-
fence Of men, such as | have studied
them round the tea-tabe. liza man
wipes his feet on the dour-mat before
coming into the room, you may be
snre he will make a good domestic
husband. II a man, IN snufiing the
candles snutis them cut, you may be
sure he will make stupid husband.
II a man puts his handkerchief on his
knees. whilst taking his tea, you may
be sure he will be prudent husband;
IN the same way, always mistrust the
man who will not take the last piece
of toast of Sally Lunn, bu, prefers
waiting for the next warm batch. Ii
is not unlikely he will make a greedy,
selfish husband, with whom you will
enjoy no brown at dinner, no crust
at tea, no peace whatever at home.
The man, my dears, who wears gol-
oshes, aud is careful about wrapping
himself up well before venturing into
the night air, not unirequently makes
a good invalid husband that mostly
stops at home, and is easily comforted
with Stops. The man who watches
the kettle and prevents il boiling over,
will not fail, my dears, in his mar
red state, in exercising the same care
in always keeping the pot boiling.
The man who doesn't take tea, i'll
treats the cat, takes snuff, and stands
with his back TO the fire, is brute,
whom | would not advise YOU, my
dears, TO marry upon any consldera
ton, either for love or money, but
most decidedly not for love. But
the man who, when tea is over, is
discovered to have had none, is sure
to make the best husband. Patience
like his deserves being rewarded with
the best of wives and The best of
mothers-n-law. My dears, when
you meet with such man, do your
utmost to marry him. In the Sc
verest winter he would not mind
going to bed first" Here the lee
turer concluded, and the several
young ladies retired to their respec-
tive avocatlons.

Practical Experience.

termined to have mercantile employ,
and in fact such business as suited
me. had not money enough after
being there two weeks, TO take a let

family aud friends. looked into ev-

some conversation. | could not find

salary that suited me. | thought

these reflections | picked out my par

tone, was the reply, all being too bu-

MIR Wade's reply to Mr. Jones.


Mr.. Wade-rhe Senator from
Tennessee propounded to me some
questions which had undertaken to
answer in my previous remarks but
he did not seem TO understand the
argument which attempted to make
with regard to the prohibition Of
slaves entering into this Territory
| am aware that the territory was
purchased by the United States, and
belonged to the Government of the
United States, and, OF course. the
United States had power to do with
It as they saw fit. But | attempted
to show to The genllemau-and he
did not attempt to answer that at
all-that the Constitution of the
United States did not compel me TO
recognize title III slaves. The
Constitution always speaks of them
as persons, never as property. They
are slaves by virtue of the laws of
the State OF local jurisdiction where
they are and the moment they get
out OF that, as understand the law
of the land, they cease 10 be slaves.
MIR. Badger.-Unless they run
away.
Mr. Wade.-The Senator from
Tennessee SAYS that we aim at the
South particularly. Not at ALL
Men III the northern States ma, own
slaves, If they keep them in a jurisdlc-
ton where slavery exists. The Mis-
sour compromise is not aimed at the
southern States, but is aimed at
species of property which it was
though not proper TO admit within
TINS Territory.
The gentleman asks whether n law
can pc passed to prevent man tak-
ing his property INTO the Territory 7
Why, certainly We have such laws
now. If | AN manufacturer of
gunpowder, OF firearms, or of whis
Ky, | cannot take II into this Terrific
~ under the laws as they now exist.
Congress, therefore, does make laws
prohibiting persons from taking GER
tam species of property into the Ter
ntorles. 1t does not make any diff
ference whether live in free State
or slave State, cannot take those
articles there. So if happen TO
own slaves, no matter whether | live
IN Ohio, or Kentucky, or Tennessee,
1t this compromise is to stand as a
law, | cannot take them there. 1t
IS not aimed invidiously at any one
particular State, or particular person.
believe now that have answered
all the questions to which the gentle
man wished me 10 give an answer
| have given him my Judgment, that
the Constitution of the United States
does not recognize slaves as any
thing but persons.

THE COLD WATER MAN.

BY j. G. SAKE.
1t was an honest fisherman,
knew him passing WE'LL
And he lived by little pond,
Within little dell.
A grave and quiet man was he,
Who loved his hook and rod ~
So even ran his line of life,
His neighboTs thought it odd.
For science and for books he said,
lie never had a wish,-
No school to him was worth fig,
Except a school of fish,.
lie meier aspired to rank or wealth,
Nor cared about a name,-
For tho much famed for fish was he,
lie never fshed for fame.
Let others bend their necks at sight
OF FASHIONS gilded wheels
He meier had learned the art to bob"
For anything but eels
A cunning fisherman was he,
His angles all we're right
The smallest nibble at his bait

lie begged the Senator not 10

pies of the Wing party, which he
and his colleague well knew were not
of such advantage or interest to that
State as they were to The North
He had done this because that the
whole country might be benefited by
it. He had never assalled any Sec
ton or the interest of any section. -
He would permit no attack upon the
institutions of his section. All he
asked was equality. This he was
entitled 10. The South knew their
rights, and, knowing, would main
tain them at all hazards, and TO the
last extremity. He had never aP-
proved of the Missouri Compromise,
but, as it had been sanctioned by
time, he would have submitted 10

turning sense of justice would Undue c

BY the treaty with France in which
Louisiana was ceded to the United
States, II was expressly stipulated
that the people there should be for
ever protected in their property
Slavery then existed there, and by
treaty was protected. The Compro-
mise, therefore, was an express viola
ton of the treaty with France, and
was utterly void. He argued that
the legislation of 1850 was inconsist-
ent in principle with the Missouri
compromise. All the South asked
was equal justice, and they could not
refuse to accept that justice when
rendered by the North.

AemcuLruRsL FArRs.-1'hey are
doing much to encourage and ell
tighten the Farmers of Vermont. in
their noble calling. More than two
thirds of the entire population Of The
state are engaged in rural pursuits
Agriculture is the calling of the peo-
pie, the masses, and whatever tends
to elevate and improve them and
their calling. should be encouraged
by the wise and the good, and by the
fostering care of the Legislature Of
the State. The increase Of State
and County Agricultural Fairs, is
one of the favorable signs of the
times. True American farming is
not equal 10 that Of Great Britain
but we are treading fast on the heels
OF another Britain, in this respect,
and have the means, when properly
husbanded, TO exceed her in the
quantity and quality of our products.
These Fairs, by the emulation and
zeal they excite among the farmers,
tend directly to this end. They have
already done much, and will do vast
ly more, for the improvement of the
breed of cattle. Those who have
been at the risk and expense of i'm
porting the best breeds, have not hid
their light under bushel they have
not kept them secluded on their
farms, with the vain pride OF owning
the best stock in the colntr, but
they have nobly Brought forward
their fine specimens of animals, at
the Fairs, and given every farmer an
opportunity 10 share in the general
Improvement by purchasing for them
selves, and dfiIusing the different
breeds throughout the country. The
fairs have thus operated as kind of
mutual insurance company for the
improvement Of stock, on the princi-
pie Of "help one another" Great
Improvements may be made in the
manner Of conducting these fairs -
Time and experience will suggest
these improvements. Some have OBJ
jecled 10 these fairs, as being mere
shows without much practical i'm
provemeni, and would give them up.
We are not of that number. All
large gatherings of. the people, for
whatever purpose, are liable TO OBJ
leciions; but State and County
Fairs, conducted with due regard
to the peace and morals of the COM
munity, and with an eye single TO the
advancement Of the cause Of agricul-
ture, as connected with the mechanic
arts and the public good, cannot be
other than valuable to the interest Of
all classes in the community. Agri-
culture lays the foundation of indi-
yldual, social and national prosperity,
aud he who does not encourage IL,
whether as private citIzcp or
statesman, does not discharge Ills du- !.
~ as a man, aud is entitled 10 little
credi, as patriot, and lover of his
county.
