Of her fingers, its feet extend toward the wrist,
and with the thumb and little finger elevated,
she forms an ample and admirable cradle-the
length Of her hand being equal to the whole
length of an infant.
Z" She is unable to pass ordinary doors with
out STOPPING a good deal, and it is said that for
convenience she usually puts her thimble and
other little articles upon the casing over the
door, instead Of upon any lower object, as Il ia
bic or desk
" An amusing incident is told of her, which
runs in this wise, and which is said to be
strictly true. While she was passing through
the kitchen of 4 farmhouse one day with a
large pan of milk in each hand her hair caught
upon hook which projected two orthree inch
es from the ceiling, and held her fast. She
could neither stoop to set the pan down nor
raise her hands to discngaec her hair and was
compelled thus to remain, until her cries
brought others to her assistance"

METROPOLITAN lIoFEL,
New YoRK, October /, 1855.

GENTELMEE Your invitation to meet
and address the democracy of Kentucky,
at Lexington, on the 5,h instant, has
reached me at this place,anG with more
than ordinary regret l.fiud myself com,
pelIsd to advise yon that twill be'ims
possible for me to be with you on the in.
dicated occasion. II is, indeed. with
more than ordinary regret that say this
because tho times are pregnant with
important events, and it behooves every
well.wisher TO the. e.confedeTacy to be up
and doing, know that there is class
who imagine that there is no impe peuding
danger. and that belief is to show super.
ior wisdom, | know that there ere some
who really think that they are quite
facetious when they sneer at every cry
of alarm for the safety Of the Union
But such people do not understand the
posture Of affairs, uov do they appreci.
ate the sentiments which respectively
prevail at the North and Soath. The
loyalty of the masses to the Union viii
indeed bear much, but history shows
that nothing is sufficiently sacred to
preserve il from the violence of passion.
The slavery question has now absorbed
all others, and is rapidly uliehstiHg the
two sections Of our country from each
other and the Union. Men now utter
freely that which was deemed treason
half century ago Life and property
are by many already held 10 be bat Sc.
condary in importance to the existence
or non existence OF American slavery IN
the Territories Of the Union aud even
liberty-the liberty of ourselves and
the liberty of cur posterity, depender:
as they are upon the existence Of the
Union--these same people would sacri-
fee for the same cause, SO extTavagaat
are the absurdiiies to which men can be
led by passion. Let US look at The mat
ter for q moment. The existence or
uon-exestence of American slavery in
State or Territory of the Union can be
of no interest TO the people of the exist.
ing Sta :es SO far as the fac; may influence
the counsels aud conduct Of the nation.
Dissolve the Union and the fact Of sla-
very can be Of more interest 10 the
respective State than is now the fact Of
slavery in Cuba
To become citizen Of Territory, a
man must expatriate himself from his
State; and when he has done 50, his
original State can have no intersss in
the municipal condition Of the Tsrritor-
les, except in SO far as they may affect
the policy and action Of The Union.-l
And yet. for this interest, the signs Of
the times indicate that each Of us will
soon be called upon TO declare onr esti-
ulsle Of the value of our present Union
