vanity. A far grander object of more easy and
more honorable acquisition, lies before England
and the United States and all other countries own
ing our origin and speaking Our language. Let
them agree not in alliance offensive and defensive,
bot simply never 60 to war with one another. Let
them permit one another to develope as Providence
seems to suggest and the British race will gmdu-
ally and quietly attain to preeminence beyond the
reach Of mere policy and arms. The vast and
even increasing interchange Of commodities be-
tween the several members of this great family,
the almost daily communication now opened across
not one but several oceans, the perpetual discovery
of new means of locomotion, in which steam itself
now bids fair to be suppanted by an equally pow
ful but cheaper and more convenient agency--sll
promise to unite the whole British race throughout
the world in one social and commercial unity,
more mutually beneficial than any contrivances of
politics. Already, what does Austria gain from
Hungary, France from Algeria, Russia from ST.
IBERIA, or any absolute monarchy from its abiect
population, or what town from its rural suburbs,
that England does not derive in a much greater de-
gree from the United States, and the United States
from England What commercial partnership,
what Industrious household exhibit so direct an ex-
change of service? All that is wanted is that we
should recognize this fact; and give it all the asss
lance in our power. We cannot be independent
of one another. The attempt is more than unso-
cial; it is suicidal. Could either dispense with
the labor of the other, it would Immediately lose
the reward of its own industry. Whether national
jealously, the thirst for warlike enterprise,
the grosser appetite of mercantile monopoly at
tempt the separation, the result and the crime are
the same. We are made helps meet for one
another. Heaven has joined all who speak the
British language, and what Heaven has Joined lie,
no man think to put csunder.

Placing q Daughter at School.
81 have brought my daughter to you to be taugh
everything.''1
"DEAR madam, I've called for the purpose
OF placing my daughter at school;
She's only thirteen, 1 assure you,
And remarkably easy to rule.
I'd have her learn painting and music,
Gymnastics and dancing pray do,
Philosophy, grammar and logic;
You'll teach her to read, of course, too.
/" wish her to learn every study;
Mathematics are down in my plan,
But of figures she scarce has an inkling,
Pray instruct her jim those, if you can.
I'd have her taught Spanish and Latin,
Including the language of France;
Never mind her very bad English,
Teach her that when you have good chance
con the harp she must be proficient,
And play the guitar pretty soon,
And sing the last opera music
Fen though she can't turn o right tune.
You must see that her manners are finished,
That she moves with Hebe-like grace;
For though she is lame and one-sided,
That's nothing to do with the case.
" Now, to you I resign this young jewel,
And my words would have you obey;
In six months you return her, dear madam,
Shining bright as an unclouded day.
She's no aptness, grant you, for learning,
And her memory oft seems to halt;
But, remember, if she's not accomplished,
1t will certainly all be your fault"

AFAsT SrEAMsHrP.-It is stated that the steam
ship William Norris is nearly finished, and will be
launched in fortnight. This IS the vessel built
on a model which has not been tried on the ocean,
and which it is predicted will make the voyage
across the Atlantic in from five to six days. Her
model resembles that of the North River boats
being very long and very sharp, with fiat bottom
and drawing comparatively very light draft of
water. In pleasant weather and smooth sea such
a vessel would undoubtedly prove a veritable
"Skimmer of the Seas" but in rough and tempes-
tuous weather her success would be more than
doubtful. The William Norris, it is SAID, will be
an uncommonly strong boat-uo expense being
spared in the material of the fastenIngs. II her
success meets the expectation Of her designers, a
new era in Atlantic ocean aRm navigation will be
commenced.

PoLTGAMr-THE TURKS TAKEN TO TAsK.-The
Saints have come to look upon Polygamy as the
sheet anchor Of their hopes. The Ne,es, COM
menting upon the statement made by Christian
writer that the Turks are gradgsllS abandoning
the demoralizing practice of PoIygamy, says: I" If
Polygamy is on the wane, as the editor ayers, we
venture to infer that this circumstance is man
ifes cause Of the present imbecility of the Turkish
government. When any people begin to change
their ordinance and transgress the Abrahamic laws
Of marriagee, that moment sexual corruptions and
vices like the evils Of Pandora's box are diffnsed
abroad, to the weakening and undoing Of any ma
ton"

DRAwiSG THE LONG Bow.-Mr. A Bum, in his
e Old England and New England" gives a
number of theatrical anecdotes. Among others he
relates the following of poor Tyrone, the comedi-
an, who perished in the President steamer 80 He
was, in society, very entertaining, notwithstanding
his alarming propensity to exaggeraton- By his
own account he had been to Trafalgar and Wa
terloo, and was frequently taken, in company, for
both a naval and military character besides
various others, Of whose duties he had sone nat
tering Power once observed that the Russians
having crossed the Balkan, and entered Trebizond,
would be in Constantinople in about SIX hours az
terwards; and being assured by most lnteihgent
gentleman Of the party that it was impossible, tor
the places were six hundred miles apart, with the
Black Sea between them, Power vociferously ex-
claimed, Pooh I've walked it before breakfast"
We have heard a gentleman who was present re-
late this anecdote, adding, that one Of the COM
pany went ana Brought map to confute Power
when ths3sater coolly asked, Whose map IS Z!

Tyrone, sthe greatest imposter IN existence
