With mingled Indignation and shame

our heads with meek submission under
the vile imputation plainly implied, by
this insulting sooner. A few had
charity enough to pray that the chastise-
ment of the offender might not be more
than commensurate with the insult, or in
other words that there might be no harm
done. But alas the age of chivalry is

TRurH.-Truth is the foundation
Of virtue. An habitual regard for it
is absolutely necessary. He who walks
by the light Of it has the advantage of
the midday sun he who would spurn
it goes forth amid clouds and dark
ness. There is no way in which a
man strengthens his own judgment,
and acquires respect in society so sure
ly, as by scrupulous regard to truth.
The course of such an individual is
right and straight on. He is no
changing, saying one thing to-day
and another tomorrow. Truth to
him is like mountain landmark to
the pilot; he fixes his eyes upon
point that does not move, and he
enters the harbor in safety. On the
contrary, one who despises truth and
loves falsehood, is pilot who takes a
bit Of driftwood for his landmark,
which changes with every wave. On
this he fixes his attention, and being
insensibly led from his course, strikes
upon some hidden reef, and sinks to
rise no more. Thus truth brings sue
cess +; falsehood results in ruin and
contemplate. Charming.

LINES TO--A LADY,

| Lines should be made 10 suit the paper,
And be Of solid feet; not altogether vapor-
They should not break in twain,
Nor loose the thread of narrative.
And SO like MIR. Byron, we incline to think,
'Twere better talk blank verse, than loose link,
In any interesting chain of ideas.
Ladies, we love you all. We could Byroncally ex
claim,
"Would that woman kind, had but single moutl
That we might kiss you all, from North to South.
We have not Daniels courage, or Goliah's strength
And yet would go, almost to any length,
To see you righted. Yea, without grain Of fear
We'd venture in the roaring lions den
Take that ferocious animal by the ears,
And wiring his head of, rs he were chicken.
But ladies one and all escbew the pen,
Uuless 1t be, to write soothing ditty,
Or soft soap sentimental tale.
The male sex, will not give its due respect
When you put of the woman's graces,
And bear your arms, in threats to bearded faces
A Lady fathers up the Comet
And cries, Alas, the age Of chivalry il gone,
We feel the satire, yet we like the song;
And laugh our eyes quite full OF tears
To think that any lady Is SO free Of care
As waste her sweetness on the desert air.
By pitching into us.
We'r full equipded to meet with any man,
And fight him too, with Colts revolver,
All we want to know is, what's the botherf
One thing we will not do-fght an Artesian
For unto that society have we pinned our faith;
By Jove, we will not fight brother man
Belonging to this popular clan.
II any ladv'd like to use raw hide on us
Wen stand and take it, gently ~ lamb,
AnI give a bond, we'll not make any fuss.
So lay on Cynthia we will 'seoer cry enough,
If there's hope to end this muss.

The TRUE MODE OF PRooF.-A
quiet exposition of truth has better

extirpates weeds by working its way
into their place, and leaving them no

would float with equal safety and free

CASTLE GARDEN.-The New York
correspondents of the N. o. Picayune,
says: The land sharks or emigrant
runners are highly incensed because
the Commissions of Emigration have
leased Castle Garden, and are doing
all they possibly can to thhow obstacles
in the way Of the successful execution
Of their plans. The indignation meet
ing which they got up an evening or
two ago, on the Battery was an utter
failure, as far as the numbers present
and the influence which it was calcu-
lated to WELD are concerned. Seeing
the uselessness of their efforts to de-
feat the purposes Of the Commission
ers, they will no doubt conclude, in
the course of a week or two, to with
draw from the field and seek other
employment. Under the present
system, immigrants will have no fur
Their need of their survives, and the
robberies which they have been per-
trating upon them during so many
years have been brought by it to an
abrupt STOP.
