disposed 10 give to the new Executive all
reasonable support end confidence
Surely this was not state of things
which the President would desire to dis
turb, much less destroy, by eonjuring
anew the demon Of sectional discord-
more distinctly sectional, we fear, in its
present shape, than it ever was before.
There existed no adequate motive for
such a step. The country had not
called for it; there had been no exures-
sion of public opinion on the subject; It
was neither asked for nor looked for.
So far from it, indeed, that it took the
public entirely by surprise. The coun-
try, North and South, was reposing in
entire acquiescence and confidence in the
great healing act of 1890, and the strife
which accompanied its enactment had
been long forgotten. 1t therefore sur
passes our ingenuity to discover any
motive which could induce the President
to disturb this happy quiet.
We are aware that our esteemed
neighbor the Sentinel gives as reason
for the measure that it will compel cer-
tain politicians to ''show their hands,"
and the Union alleges that sit is time
these compromises were settled forever"
What is meant by the Sentinel is not
clear to us, and can only be conjectured.
Whether it is designed to present an
issue to the Soft wing of the New York
Democrats, which, obeying their anti
slavery instincts. shall drive them to op-
pose an Administration measure" and
thus place them in the attitude of an
tsgonism to the President now occupied
by the Hards, or by the same operation
replace these latter on the side of the
Administration, We do not know; but,
be it one or the other, the object sinks
into insigni6canee compared with the
magnitude and mischief of the means
adopted to effect it. As for the reason
assigned by the Union, that it is time to
settle forever the slavery compromise,
the argument is puerile. If compro-
mise which has stood third of centu-
nv, and answered the most benefcent
hopes of its wise and patriotic authors,
is to be broken for the purpose of ma
king another which is to endure forever,
where shall we find the guaranty that it
viii last even as long as the one which is
abrogated? The sage and patriot VIII
liam Lowndes lin common with all the
statesmen who united with him in the
Missouri compromise) yielded to it his
support because he said it would ''give
permanent tranquility to the country in
regard to slavery" Were he now in
life he would stand by his own good
work Honor no less than regard for
the public veal would bind him to it, as
it should. we humbly but firmly assert,
every Southern man who has ever given
it his assent and upheld it as barrier
against fanatical or ambitious encroach-
ment on their constitutional rights.
Let us then, in good faith, stand by
the Old Compromise.

FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE.-The whole
number of languages spoken in the
world, amount to 8,O60-587 in Europe,
896 in Asia, 276 in Africa, and / 1854 in
America. The inhabitants of the globe
profess more than 1000 different re-
ligions. The number of men is about
equal to the number of women. The
average of human life is about 36 years.
One quarter die previous to the age Of
q years; one.half before reaching IL;
and those who pass this age enjoy a
facility refused one-half the human
species. To every 1000 persons only
one reaches one hundred years of age.
There are ON earth l,OO0,0 900, in
habitants; and of these, 333, ,333, 1888
die. every year, 81, 1884 every day, 5, ,780
every hour, and so every minute, or
one every second. These losses are
about balanced by an equal number Of
births The married are longer lived
than the single, and above all those who
observe a sober and industrious conduct,
Tall men live longer than short ones
The number Of marriages is in proper
ton Of 75 to every one thousand indi-
viduals. Marriages are more frequent
after the equinoxes, that is, drring the
months of June and December. Those
born in the spring are generally more
robust than others. Births and deaths
are more frequent by night than by day.
The number capable of bearing arms, IS
estimated at one-fourth of the popula-
tion.--English Quarterly.

~ 1t strikes US that the lady who
thinks of nothing else but her beauty,
her fash-dress and frothy novels, will
find heseIf in a melancholy fix when
old time shall have scratched her pref
ty face full of wrinkles, and exploded
her romantic dreams with the realities
of old age. Surely it will be taking
away her gods and what will she have
left? We have seen some such who
have had nothing left but desperation,
the full and terrible weight Of which
fell upon the devoted heads of divers
sufferers in the shape Of husbands, &c,
who were sufficiently sensible that in
telligence in the old was as attractive as
beauty in the young. Women in their
early years should be mindful that as
life advances they cease to have any OF
her attractions than those which arise
from a cultivated intellect and heart,
and therefore study sensible books, and
cultivate their heads and hearts.

CRUMBS FROM THE n. Y. DUTcHNAN.
-Diogenes gets off the following:-
When man sounds his own trumpet,
be sure there's crack in it. There are
minds. as well as streets, that want
draining. Many fall in love as they fall
asleep. with their eyes shut. There is
nothing more uncertain than "a certain
age" He that confesses to one particu-
lar weakness has many more IN reserve,
Mammon ties as many marriage knots as
Cupid. A heart once given should be
"not transferable"
Apples are scarce and dear. At the
first board-the board on the north east
corner of the pos.ofice-the best gilli-
dowers, with one side decayed, were
done at the rate of cent a bite
Cores went off with great qiickness,
those from ''greenings" meeting with a
ready sale at six cents per dozen.
Rents are still advancing in this city.
Hog-pens that let last year for ten dol-
lars, are now bringing fifteen, In the
language of the penny-a-hners, where IS
all this to end?

THE AFFECTIONS NECESSARY TO HAP
PIKEss.-The grand essentials to hap
piness in this life are something to do,
something to love, and something to
hope for. We must have something to
love. Especially is this the case with
woman, whose capacities for affection
are much greater than those of man.
There is famous passage in the writ
ings of Rousseau, the great delineator
of the human heart, which is as true to
human nature as it is beautiful in ex-
preston: "Were it in desert, l would
find wherewith in it to call forth my af-
fections. IF could do no better, 1
would fasten them on some sweet myr-
tie, or some melancholy cypress to con-
meet myself to; would court them for
their shade, and greet them kindly for
their protection. 1 would write my
name upon them, and declare that they
were the sweetest trees throughout all
the desert. If their leaves withered, l
would teach myself to mourn, and when
they rejoiced, / would rejoice with
them" Such is the absolute necessity
which exists IN the human heart of hav-
ing something to love. Unless the af-
fections have an object, even life itself
becomes joyless and insipid. The af-
fections have this peculiarity, that they
are not SO much the means of happiness
as their exercise is happiness. And not
only so. if they have no object, the hap
piness derived from other powers is cut
of. Action and enterprise flag, if there
be no object dear to the heart to which
those actions can be directed. The wo-
man, then, who has chosen husband
worthy of her affections, with acommon
share of this worlds prosperity, has the
highest possible chance for happiness
Her heart has found the very thing to
which it was made to attach itself. Itis
filed and satisfied. She has now some
thing to live for. All her powers of ac.
ton are awakened to an energy which
she never felt before. She has more
over, guidance and protection. Whaf
more can she want? Her affections arr
the buoyant motives of her activity, ,anc
her activity is the more happy, as it ex
presses and gratifes her affections
Thus, life is absolutely full. Every day
brings with it its own satisfaetions.-
There is consequently no regret for the
past, nor any necessity of postponing al
happiness for the future.

Ex-PREsIDENr VAN. BUREN.-A cor
respondent of the Freemdn's Journal,
writing from Rome, describes ex-Presi-
dent Van Buren as being on the 'anx-
ious seat" We clip paragraph from
the letter:
A few evenings since | attended a
soiree at the residence of Mr.. Cass, our
Charged Affaires. The party was
purely American, and given as COM
pEiment to ex-President Van Buren,
who has been residing in Rome for some
time. Among the guests were faces
that l recognized as having seen in
America. l am told that the ex-Presi-
dent is inquiring very earnestly into the
Catholic religion. He has had several
conferences with Cardinal Wiseman,
who is also here, and it is not unlikely
that Mr.. Van Buren may become con-
vert"

ES- The New Orleans Delta relates
the following incident connected with the
burning of the Georgia, upon Lake Pom
chartrain:
William Houghton, for the last six
teen years known about the Lake by
the familiar title of "Bill Oten"-a no.
bic fellow, who has for many years pass
ed his time in the winter by hunting
game, and in the summer by fishing
on the first alarm, repaired to the scene,
and stripping off his clothing, notwith-
standing the dense volume of flames
and smoke that were driving every
body beyond the reach of the wreck,
he sprang into the lake and succeeded
in saving several children. He brought
a lady to shore safely who, in company
with her husband, was struggling with
the relentless waves in the last agonies
of death. Such noble actions should
not go unrewarded; and our citizens
should repay, in some substantial man
ner, the humble and self sacrificing hun
ter on the shores of Lake Ponchartrain,
who thus, when all others stood ap-
palled, had the presence of mind to
make so bold an attempt. with such glO-
rious success, as we can vouch he did.
1t is said he even placed plank from
the pier to the stern of the boat, for the
passengers to come ashore, but in the
darkness and confusion, we are sorry to
say, but few availed themselves of the
means of escape thus afforded them by
this noble fellow.

Major General Jackson, and by his order tn

o! did you hear that plainrive cry,
Borne on the southern breeze?
Sew YOU John Harris, earnest pray,
For mercy on his knees?
Low to the earth he bent, and pray'd
For pardon from his chief;
But to his earnest prayer for life,
jackson, alasl was deaf
Spare me, he.said, 4 meant no wrong
NY heart was always true;
First for my country's cause it beat,
And next, great chief, for you.
we thought our term of service out,
Thought it our right to go;
We meant to violate no law,
Nor wish'd to shun the foe.
Our officers declared that we
Had but three months to stay,
We served those three months faithfully
Up to the latest day.
No one suspects intended wrong,
The Judgment only erred;
In such case, o. noble chief,
Let mercy's voice be heard.
Sat home an aged mother waits
To clasp her only son;
A wife and little child-this arm
Alone depend upon.
eCut me not off from those dear ties,
So soon from life's young bloom;
o! tits dreadful thing to die,
And moulder in the tomb.
Sure mercy is a noble gem
On every chieftain's brow;
More sparkling than diadem,
o. exercise it now
Twas all in vain, John Harris prayer,
'Tis past the souls belief;
Hard as the flint was Jackson's heart,
He would not grant relief.

And five poor fellows more!
Young gallant men, in prime of life,
To welter in their gorel
Methinks heard the mufled drum,
And see the column move;
Lo! here they come: how sad their looks!
Farewell to life and lovel
See six black cofins rang'd along,
Six graves before them made;
Webb, Lindsey, Harris, Lewis, Hunt,
And Morrow kneeled and prayed.
They kneel'd and pray'd, and thought
of home,
And all its dear deligbtsi
The deadly tubes are levell'd now
The scene my soul afrights.
Sure he will spare! Sure Jackson yet
Will all reprieve but one
o bark! those shrieksl that cry of DEATH
The dreadful deed is done.
All six militiamen were shot:
And Oh it seems to me,
A dreadful deed-a bloody act
Of needless cruelty.

and the change in the shoemaker's pros
poets was indeed wonderful. He was
now spoken of as one Of the most thriv-
ing men of the village, and many mar
vellous stories were told to account for
the sudden alteration in bis affairs.
1t was generally agreed that distant
relative had entirely relieved him of his
pecuniary difficulties Old customers
and new ones crowded in upon him.
They had never before realized the
beauty and durability of his work
The polite butcher selected the best
pieces of meat for his inspection, as he
entered, and was totally Indifferent as to
the time of payment. The teacher ac-
companied the children home to tea,
and spoke in high terms of their i'm
provement, pronouncing them among
the best scholars. The dress maker
suddenly found herself free from the
great press of work, and in a friendly
note expressed her desire to oblige Mrs.
Thompson in any way in her rPower.
Just as expected!' exclaimed Uncle
Joshua, rubbing his hands exultlngly,
as the grateful shoemaker called upon
him at the expiration of six months,
with the money which had been loaned
in the hour of need. Just as | ex-
pected. A strange world They are
ready to push man up hill, if he
seems to be ascending, and Just as ready
to push him down, if they find that his
face is turned that way In future,
neighbor Thompson, let everything
around you wear an air of prosperity,
and you will be sure to prosper" And
with satisfied air, Uncle Joshua placed
his money in his pocket-book, ready to
meet some other claim upon his benevo-
lence, whilst he whom he had befriend
ed, with light step and cheerful coun-
tenance, returned to his happy home.
