HOLY LIFE.

The beauty of holy life constitutes the
most eloquent aud effective persuasive to re-
ligion which one human being can address
10 the other. We have many ways of doing
TO our fellow creatures, but none so effica-
cous as leading virluous, upright and we'll
ordered lite. There is an energy of moral
suasion in good mans life, passing the
highest efforts of the orators genius. The
seen, but silent beauty Of holiness speaks
more eloquently of God, and duty, than the
tongue OF men and angels. Let parents re-
member this. The best inheritance parent
can bequeath child Isl virtuous example,
a legacy of hallowed remembrance and as
sociaions. The beauty of holiness, beam
ing through the life of loved relative or
friend, is more effectual TO strength en- such
as do stand in virtues ways, and raise up
those that are bowed, than precept, COM
mani, entreaiy or warning. Christianity il.
sell, believe, owes by far the creator part
of It's moral power not 10 the precepts or
parallels of Christ, but TO his character The
beanty of that holiness which is enshnned in
.he four brief biographies Of The Man of Naz
areth, has done mpTe, and will do more, 10
regenerate The world, and bring it TO all ev-
erlasting righteousness, than all other agen-
cies put together II has done more TO spread
his religion in the world than all that has ev-
er been preached or written OIL the eviden-
ces OF Christianity.

Ladies' dresses.

The present fashion. INDUCED By the la
dies, of wearing their skirts the size of a
hogshsad. is pulling the better part of crsa-
tion to their wits ends 10 secure the desired
condition OF stick-outaliveness about their
dimity. Cords, grass cloth, cofe bags, starch
and even hoops, il is whispered, have been
put IN requistion for the accomplishment OF
the desired object. The fashion seems des.
tined, too, 10 effect important changes in ar
chitecture, doors will have 10 be widened
and church pews made more capacious 10
accommodate the obtrusive drygoods Of The
feminines. We saw an exhibition last eve-
ming that afforded an indication of the kind
Of scenes that may be expected from the
present fashion. Two washer-women were
taking home as many dresses, and TO pre-
vent the garments from being rumpled and
losing ;heir fullness ofappeafance, they were
carrying Them aloit on sticks ! The unusu-
al sight attracted much attention, and one lit
tie shaver, who was pretty fair specimen

Labor, honest labor, is mighty and beauti.
full. Activity is the ruling element of life, and
lis highest relish. Luxuries and corquests
are The resul, OF labor, we can imagine MOTH
ing without il. The noblest man of earth is
he who puts hands cheerfuly and proudly 10
honest labor Labor is business and ordi-
nance OF God. Suspend labor and where is
the glory and pomp of earlh--ihe fruit fields
and palaces, and fashoning of matter ior
which men strive and war? Let the labor
scornar look around him, look TO himself, and
learn what are The trophies ofloil. From The
crown of his head TO lhe sole of his foot, un-
less he is Carib, made as the beast, he is
debtor and a slave of toll. Where is the gar
menling and equipage2 Let labor answer.
Labor-which makes music in the mine and
-the furrow, and at The forge. 0, scon labor,
do you--man who never yet earned morsel
OF bread. Labor pities you proud fool, and
laughs you TO scorn. You shall pass TO dust
forgotten; aud labor will live on forever, glo-
rious in its conques;s and monuments.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
For The " Star ofthe North"
A DAY DREAM.

On a bright day in summer stood by the
ocean,
And long did gaze on each light dancing
wave:
My sorrowing heart swelled wild with emo
ton,
When thought of the thousands who found
there grave.
| thought of The friends who had long since
departed.
OF brother and sister and parent so kind:
Of the brave and the fair, and the generous
hearted
Who have found their last rest and left me
behind
Slowly raising my eyes, beheld fair maid
en-;
On her beautiful head bright esa-howers
she wore,
With rich sparkling gems ani rare shells she
was laden:
"Come with me-" cried the sea-maid Z" and
leave this dull shore"
the waters
rlfshow thee the treasures bid far IN the
deep,
1 Hou sIdit ste tHo Stdu spOtts VI Otu UCodu
fair daughters
And visit the graves where thine honored
friends Sleep"
Oh! no fairest maiden, replied with emo
tion,
cannot 90 with thee unto thy dark cave,
Too many dear friends now lie deep in the
ocean,
Too long hast thou lured there the true and
the brave.
Depart now fair maiden, I wish not 10 cherish
A thought of lby Turing or glitter of wealth
In Thy gilded halls wish not now 10 perish
Give me Ihe green fields and the blessings
oil health. .
She cast her b.ae eyes Gpcn me, and then
turning
And dashing the water. away with her
wand,
She sank from my gaze and the land she was
spurning,
And waved an adieu with her beautiful
hand.
And now off STROLL bv the side of the water
And gather The pebbles on that lonely shore;
But that lovely sea-nymph--old Neptune S
fair daughter '''s%
watch for in vain-I shall see her no more.

Gen. jackson q Gentleman.


Instead of being rude and unpublished
man, as many have enormously supposed,
General Jackson was considered by all who
knew him Intimately, as the very perfection
OF gentleman. His maauers were coufte-
GUS in the extreme, and 10 illustrate this fact
Mr.. Buchanan related q striking Incident
He said, on one occasion, he received letter
from an American lady, who had daughter
married to an individual of high rank among
the English nobility. In her note to Mr.. Bu-
chanan. she informed him she bore mes
sage 10 the President of the United States,
from William w., and she desired him 10
accompany her TO the White House in order
that she might present ii in person. Mr.. B.
obeyed her request, and they went to the
Presidents mansion. He excused himself
for few moments and went TO the private
room of the President. where he found him
in the most wretched disabile. He was
clad in The old grsy surlou, coat, dirty shirt,
his beard was long ani 10 crown al!, was
smoking an old blackened pipe. MIR. B. ac-
Huoiheoa III" "tui thc idCt tudt MIS-. -
was in another part of The mansion, with a
message 10 him from the King of England.
He was fearful the old General might walk
down stairs to receive his visitor la that sor-
ry plight, and therefore suggested to him
whether he had moi better arrange his dress
and shave. His reply was t" Buchanan,
once knew man who made forluue by
minding his own business go down stairs
and say 10 Mrs, - shall be happy 10
wait or her presently" He left the apart
meni, and in very short time the old gen.
teman gracefully entered the room, dressed
in a suit oil black cloth, clean shaved, with
his fine head of while hair carefully brushed,
and received the lady with the greatest ease
and polish OF mannefs. She bore TO him the
kind salulaions of the King with the reques,
that he would, afef the expiration of his
Presidential term, visit England. On their
return from the White House, the lady exs
pressed her high qualification, and the
pleasure she had derived from ihe interview,
and said she had visited every principal
court in Europe, and mingled with those of
the highest rank, 5utthat Gen Jackson In all
the attributes of gentlemanly courtesy, and
highly refined manners, excelled every other
man she ever met.

The Election To-Morrow.

The Annual Municipal Election for Mayor
and fourteen Aldermen, will take place to-
morrow. There are two tickets in the field, il
the self-constituted, clique-nominated list of
names published in the Union and american,
is worthy the name of a ticket. Not that there
is any personal objection to any of the gentle
men whose names have been thrust without
their own consent, before the people as repre-
sentatives of the violent opposition Of Sag
Nichtisn to the American party. As far as
we know they are all gentlemen in every re-
spect. But their names in this connection, can
scarcely be said TO Constituted legitimate ticket.
One of them has peremptorily declined the
nomination, and Others have expressed their
unwillinguess to be summarily put up as tar
gets to be shot at at the ballot box.
Every taxpayer has a deep interest in the
election of the ticket regularly nominated by
the voters OF the different wards In their pri-
mary meetings The Board now going out,
elected by the American PARTY, have taken the
initiate in several public enterp ises, the sue

importance TO the city. Our Public Schools

Walnut Course Raoes-Third Day-Thursday.

Walnut Course Races-Third Day-Thursday.
From the crowds that daily attend the race
course, it would seem that the noble and excl
ting sport of the turf was rising from the con-
dition into which in late years it had fallen.
Another fine crowd on yesterday greeted the
contending horses Again, too, the fates
vouchsafed a balmy sky and bracing breeze,
and in addition to all, the track was in excel
lent condition.
But two of the entries appeared on the
course, Henry Perritt and Leda. The race
was for the club purse, $300-rnile heats-best
three in FIVE The knowing ones were placing
up their money very freely in odds of three
and four to one, that the horse would be the
winner. At one o'clock the horses presented
themselves at the post. Perritt color blue,
Leda color red.
The horse lead off in the first heat and held
his place with great ease all through it. The
second heat was but a repetition of the first.
On the third heat the horse manifested some
indispositiOn to start, and before he did so,
threw his rider three times, without hurt,
however. They passed under the string togeth
er at the tap of the drum, the horse taking
