licty to the following characteristic letter from
our venerable ex-senator Stt:Loas Dem.
WAsH1NGTos, Marchl2. '56.
Ny DEAR SIR: have thank you for your
kind letters and for all the friendly sentiments
expressed and of these the personal part is the
most agreeable. The personal feelings of my
friends towards me is what | have mot to
cherish hereafter. j never saw the day
would be willing to be aclnl:date for the Pres
idency, and am now further from it than ever.
No earthly consideration could make me
candidate. The Senate was once agreeable to
me, when there was a chance to do something
for the State or the United States. But that
chance seems now to be over, and all States
manship reduced to hurrah on one side or
the other of slavery. Even local interests in
our State seem to be crushed under it-as the
Pacific Railroad.
lam now far advanced in my second vol
ume. r'he publishers are about 500 pages
deep in the printing, and am hundred pages
ahead of the compositors in the writing. | rise
at daybreak and work till midnight, with an
interval of one or two hours recreation on
horseback. AS soon as my work is finished,
which viii be some time in April, Z shall come
to Missouri, and of course shall have to speak
to what extent do not know-but certain
| ly only for the general purpose of aiding my
friends and the Democratic cause, and without
any view to perSoaaEcensequeAce Congress

down too low to have any attraction for me-

great principles--of great measures-of great
men, and cannot wear out the remainder Of
my days in slavery agitation, either on the
one side or the other Of It.
have work enough marked out to occupy
the remainder of M life, and of kind to be
pleasant and profitable to Inc, if net beneficial
to future generation--which T think it may
be. propose to abridge the debates Of Con.
gross from 1889 to 1850; also, to continue my
history from 1850 to the day of NY DEATH
This is work enough for me, and of more dig.
nifty Ito say nothing of anything elsel thar
acting part in a slavery agitation, which i.
now the work of both parties, and which, Il
my opinion, is to end disastFcslsly for the Uh

unco1nected with the agitation, is what tbs
coantry wants. Yenr friend,

ing himself, and turning to Henry,
"perhaps we shall have to defer it, af-
ter all, for you have important bust

"Be merciful, sir" said Henry, smi-
ling, 81 did not wish to witness the
sacrifice cfmy own happiness.'

tcman, "and for that reason would
not wish to put you to the inconvcn-

said Henry.

heartily, "but | am afraid too many of

we must have a wedding"
We have onlyto add, that the friends
of Henry were sent for, and the nup-
tials solemnized at the appointed time;

Henry and Caroline, the old people
passed the remainder Of their days
in peace and happiness.

THE BACHELOR.

A Bachelor sa, by his blazing crate,
And he fell into a snooze,
And he dreamed that DER his wrinkled pate
Had been thrown the nuptial moose.
And a rosy boy came to his side,
And bounded on his knee,
And back from his bcaming face nc shook
Fair curls in childish glec.
Then clear rang out his merry voice,
He shouted aloud, "Papa,
| don't love any body else
But you and dear Msna!"
Oh! the bachelors heart DER ran with JOY,
So long by love unlit,
And from its unseen depths poured out,
Affection infinite!
Outs,retching arms Of strength unshnrn,
He hugged-IlIS OLD TOM CAT,
Which as twas wont, when master sncozod
Had lcapcd into his lap.

Ivory.

Few of our lady friends, while they
peep bewitchingly over the tips of their
ivory fans, or ply their fingers so
nimbIy and gracefully over the white
keys of the piano, are wont to cast a
thought towards the manner in which
the material is produced, the quanti-
ties of it which are annually used, and
the number of noble animals which
are yearly slain for the purpose Of
supplying the constantly increasing
demand. Mr.. Dalton, a celebrated
Sheffield manufacturer, estimates that
the annual consumption Of ivory in
the town of Sheffield alone is about
$50 tons, equal in value to 100000
and requiring the labor of50O persons
to work itup for trade. The number
of tusks to make up this amount of
ivory is $4,000; and according to this
the number of elephants slaughtered
every year for the supply of the Shelf
field market is 22,500. But suppos-
ing some tusks to be cast and some
animals to have died a natural death,
it may fairly by estimated that $4,000
are killed for the purpose.

SPRING.

O! love, love the beautiful Spring
When leaves and plants are growing;
When the joyous birds in the green wood sing
And gales DER the hills are blowing.
And love, I love the musical note
Of waters that swift through the valleys float,
Their way to the far sea taking;
My spirit it thrills with holy thought,
And my heart with gentle love is fraugh,,
Amid the young years waking.
O! | love, I love the beautiful Spring,
When morn is newly bearing,
And the larks aloft on their missions wing,
Their praise through the ether streaming.
And love, love the refreshing breeze,
The lowing herds, and the green trees,
And the fields of glstening flowers,
The sun rejoices DER valley and stream,
The mountains he tips with n golden beam,
And lights the budding bowers.
0! love, love the beautiful Srng,
When the day is calmly closing,
And the flowers abroad their fragrance fling,
On the twilight air roposing.
And love, love from the hawthorn tree,
The gush of the nghtingalc's melody,
While the moonbenms quiet are sleeping;
When peace like A. veil DER the landscape lies,
And the earth smells sweet as the balmy skies
Their dcw-drop tears are weeping.
Mr.. Mason has been elected TO tho
Senate by the Democracy Of Virginia
on the ground that it was necessary
to vindicatc the Fugitive Slave bill, o
of which he was the author. Mr.. Fill
more signed that bill and made it {
law. In the eyes of those who oppose
it, he alone is responsible for it. Sen
ator Wilson said, the other day, il
Massachusetts, that his right hanc
was red with the Fugitive If Mr.
Mason's election was necessary for tn,
reason that he introduced this bill int,
Congrcss---how much more neccssar
is that Of Mr.. Fillmore, who sanction
ed. signed, and was the first to entorc
it! If the friends of Mr., Mason wer
sincere in the reason they urged in hi
behalf, they are bound by consistenc
and conscience to support Mr.. Fill
more. He is assailed most vehement
ly and villainously in the North o
this very ground, and the canvass Their
is to a consideral extent, one agains

Homely Women.

We like homely women. We have
always liked them. We do not carry
the popularity far enough to include
the hideous or positively ugly, for since
beauty and money arc the only capi.
tai the world will recognize in wo.
men; they are more to be piticd than
admired; but we have u chivalric, en-
thusiastic regard for plain women
We never saw one who was not mod
est, unassuming, and sweet tempered,
and have seldom come across one who
was not virtuous, and had not
good hcart.' Made aware early in
life OF their want Of beauty by the
sighted attentions ofthe opposite sex.
vanity and afectation never take root
in their hearts; and in the hope to sup
ply attractions with a capricious ma
ture has denied, they cultivate the
graces of the heart instead Of the per-
son, and give to the mind those &C
complishments which the world so
so rarely appreciates in women, but
which are more lasting, and in the
eyes ofmen of sense more highly prz-
ed than personal beauty. See them
at home, or in the church, and they
arc Always the same, and the smile
which ever lives upon the face is not
forced there to fascinatc, but is the
spontaneous sunshine reelected from
kind heart--a flower which takes
root in the soul and blooms upon the
lips, inspiring respect instead ofpas-
sion, emotions of admiration instead
of feelings Of sensual regard. Plain
women make good wives, good moth
ers, cheerful homes, and happy hus-
bands, and we never see one but we
thank Heaven that it has kindly Gre
ated women ofsensc as well as beau
ty for it is seldom q female is found
possessing both. To homely women
we, therefore, lift our tile in respect;

said Mr.. Delaney to one of his clerks,
us they were together in the counting
house one morning. "Gire me leave
to say youd do not dress sufficiently gen.
,eel to appear as clerk in a fashiona-

Henry's face was suHused with q
deep blush, and, in spite Of his endeav-

his manly cheek.

sufficient to provide more gcnteel ha-
hiimcnts," continued Mr.. d., Il would

MY salary is sufficient, amply suf-
ticient, sir" replied Henry, in a voice
choked with emotion, but with that
proud independence Of feeling which
poverty had not been able to divest
him of. His employer noticed his ag-
itation, and Immediately changed the
subject.
Mr.. d. was q man Of immense
wealth and ample benevolence; he was
q widower, and had but one child, a
daughter, who was the pride of his de-
clining years. She was not as beau
titul as an angel. or as perfect as a
Venus; but the goodness, the inno-
cence, the intelligence of her mind,
shone in her countenance, and you had
but to become acquainted with her,
TO admire and even love her. Such
was Caroline Delaney when Henry
first became an inmate of her fathers
house. No wonder, then, that he soon
worshipped at her shrine-no wonder
that he soon loved her with q deep and
devoted affection; and reader, had you
known him, you would not have won.
