others of my own sex in this city, earnestly.

and in their behalf to declare that, ON and If
ter the 4th of July, "A. D, 1856 We proclaim

And this is to give timely notice to all single
gentlemen (widowcrs excludcd) Of Industrious

must improve the few remaining months to
the best advantage; for after the incoming Of

JEREMY TAYLoR's IDEA OF FRlEND--,A
friend shares my sorrow, and makes il but n
moicty; hut he swells my Joy, and makes it
double. For so two channels divide tho river,
and lessen it into rivulcts, and make il florida
bic and apt to be drunk up by the first rcvcls
of the Syrian star; but two torches do not di
vide, but increase the flame; and-though1 my
tears are the sooner dried up when they run
upon my friends checks in the burrows of
compassion, yet when my flame hath kindcd
his lamp we unite the glorics and make them
radient like the golden candlesticks that burn
before the throne of God, because they shine
by numbers, by unions, and confederation Of
light and harmony. ....
t- Carl Benson, who does up for the
New York Esprit Of the Times" the fash
ions and vaudcvcs Of Paris, writes thus of
ladies' trains: .-..'.a 4
"You may rccollect that ladies' trains were
re-establishcd last year for court dresscs.-
These trains arc very stiff and voluminous af
fairs, and very easy to r,,mple; they take up
as much room in a carriage, or anywhere else,
as three or four people. The lady, therefore,
who is going to pay her respects TO their I'm
pcrial Majcsticr, is obliged first Of all to put
her husband, or whoever the accompanying
man may be, on the box Even then she can
not sit down in the carriage without mussing
her accontrements; so she does--what do you
suppose? hneels all the way on tho front scat,
or on stool between the two seats 1t must
be worth something to see an Empress at
home"

There was once an itincrant preacher
in West Tennessee, who possessed of consd-
eiablc natural cloqucncc, had gradually he
come possessed with the idea that he was also
an extraordinary biblical scholar. Under this
dclusionb he would very frequently at the close
Of his sermons, ask any member of his congrc-
cation who might have q: knotty text to un-
ravcl to speak it, and he would explain it at
once, however much it might have troubled
'lcss distinguished divincs" On this occasion
in large audience he was particularly press
ing for some one to PROFOUND q text, but no one
presuming to do so, he was about to sit down
without an opportunity of showing "his learn
ing" when chap back by the door announced
he had Bible matter of great ''consarn" which
he desired to be enlightened upon Tho
preacher, quite animatedly profcssed his will
lingness and ability, and the congregation was
in great excitement. ' i'.
'7What want to know" said the outsider,
lis, whether Jobs turkey was hen or Cob
ler?' 49,. -....., ..
The "expoundcr" looked confused and the
congregation Uttered, as the qucstoncr capped
the climax, by exclaiming in a loud voice.
81 fotchcd him down on the fust question:
| From that time forward, the practice of ask
ing for "dillicult passages" was abandoned.
.y" The correspondent of The Baltimore
Sun says -.E..I ....4 f....,
"Thc Presidents veto message excitcs a deep
and general feeling. 1t will have some political
effect by creating schsm in the Democratic
party, upon the question Of the character Of
the veto power. Some of the democrats hold
that this act is an abuse of the power, while
they hold, also, that the Presidents objections
to the bill are insufficient and untcnablc
The two Houses cannot pass the bill over
the Presidents head, but they will try II, and
if they fail, they may possibly, if they con-
tnue in their present temper, attach it to the
civil and diplomatic bill, and force upon Pres
ident Pierce the necessity of calling the new
Congress. This would however, be a disor-
ganizing and revolutionary step. 1t docs not
follow that the President would call All extra
session. In u like emergency Gen. jackson
would not nave uonc IL. Upon one occasion
there was danger that some bllwould fail, and
it was commonly said that if it did Gen. Jack
son would carry on the government as well as
he could without it, ..i,.r4 s.. ...r,
There is really some danger that tho general
appropriation, bill will fail at this session, with
out reference to the proposed addition, to it OF
the French bill. 1t will have to bear n
heavy load Of extraneous matter. e,-4 .r
