He grew up an awkward lad, clothed in regal

were redolent of the perfume of soap and candles

by night-stealiDg from the hours allotted to re-

he was SO dull the woman of his choice ridicul-

And what was the birth or the life of such

Crowns had pressed the brows, and laurels

and they fell harmless and quivering at his feet

The SufferiD: Pc"r.

as Warmth and Sunshine follow in the footsteps
of Springs advent; and the snow-bound. threat
ening character OF the last few days reminds us

are sheltered Hunger Pestilencc and Cold. While
enioying the warm comfort, which glows upon
the hearth Of Plenty, let us remember those who
have not SO many OF Gods gifts as we. One case
especially, has attracted our attention and sym
pa,hv, and for it we would solicit relief. 1t is
a family of cIsht-every member prostrated with
a severe and prolonged attack of one CT. the worst
of feycrs. The father, an honest German (whose
name is in our posscssion) came recently to this
country with considerable property, was taken
sick, and ono after the other OF his family are
Frustrated at Ills side.
Last evening no was at the point of death, and
before this hour he is probably taken to another
home. His property is all exhausted in the grow
ing expenses of sickness; the wife aud children
are too i'll to work, and too proud to beg: the
last mcrsel is eaten, except what is furnished by
kind neighbors the fire is going out upon their
hearth stone; who will help rckindle it., and
restore comfort to the sick and dying! Reader
here is an object worthy of your largest bencvo-
lence. The family is uncommsnly intelligent and
very respectable, and the mother is too sensitive
to ask for aid. \ few weeks support would see
them cOnyalcscen., or at anyrate comfortable -

RESPECT FOR WOMEN. Show me the man who
can quit the brilliant socety of the young to list
en- to the kindly voice of age-who can hold cheer
full converse with one whom years has deprived of
charms. Show me the man who is willing to helm
the negress who stands in as much need Of helm as
if the blush of Helen mantled on her cheek. Show
me the man who would no more look rudely at
the poor girl in the village than at the elegant and
well dressed lady in the saloon. Show me the
man who treats unprotected maidenhood as he
would the heiress, surrounded by the powerful
protection of rank, riches and family. Show me
the man who abhors the iibertine's gibe - who
shuns the blasphemer, the traducer Of the moth
er's sex--whO scorns the ridicular of womauly
toib.es or the expose of womanly reputation
Show me the man who never forgets for one hour.
the delicacy, the respect that is due to woman az
woman, in any condition or class. Show me sucb
man, and you will show me gentleman-nav
you show me better, you show me a true Christian
gentleman. There are some who think that ner-
sons lose in manners as they gain in liberty.
One grace belongs to the spirit Of liberty: this
grace prevails the most with the grace it EXPANDS
that grace is respect for woman, not for rank or
elegance but for woman. And when this senti.
ment becomes enlarged, then it is staple. a social
structure may be raised upon it, more glorious
than Rankind have ever seen.

ETY., be added
Did your great grandmother ever complain of
being frightened to death?
Are you in the habit of reading Mr.. Allison's
histories, or the Morning Advertiser, or any other
publications tending to lengthen life?
Is your wife a strong minded woman?
Do you know any Americans, and is there any
chance of your getting into political argument
with the owner of a revolver?
Are you polite man who dosen't mind run
ming out of hot opera house to get up a carriage
on a wet night?
Did you ever set upon an Elizabeth drama Of
modern construction, and how many years ago,
and who attended you, medically, afterwards
Do you run after fancy preachers, and do they
mako you cry?
What was the general state of your ancesotr's
health in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
Was any of your family ever swallowed up By

Are you always careful not to tread on orange
peel in the street?
Have you ever been afflicted with Irishmen or
any other epidemics?

PoLlTIcAL PREACHING.-Thc \. Y. Independent
contains a capital article on s:poitical preach
ing" which in brief, convincing argument, uses
up those who would cry out against the action of
the pulpit, in reference to the great questions
now before the country. We quote from it as
follows:
''lt is not preaching politics to preach against
the oppression of the poor, or the sale of the
needy. 1t is not preaching politics to preach a.
gainst slavery. 1t is not preaching politics, to
preach that the law of God is higher than any act
Of Congress, or any political platform. 1t is not
preaching politics, to preach that God will visit
national crimes with national retributions. It is
not political preaching, to preach on the question.
who is responsible for national sins? 1t is not
political preaching, to preach on the sins and
duties connected with the right of suffrage.
"Whether thefe, murder and adultery shall be
punished, is 4 political question. Whether capi-
tal punishment shall be abolished, is a political
question, Whether po!ygamy and unlimited di.
vorce shall be allowed, is political question.
Wether the theater shall be condemned as a de-
moraizing institution. is political question.
Exclude from the pulpit all such subjects, and
you forbid the preacher to use the Bible sor a
textbook

WHAT THEN? ?-The pro-slavery party have elect
ed President by the skin of their teeth. In
doing this. they have lost their Northern existence.
When will they elect another Never! The story
of Locofocoism is told. Henceforward, not an
echo will arise, bringing comfort to them from a
single Free State. Year by year, their strength
will melt away in the United States Senate.
During the present winter, Republicans will. take
the place Of Toucy, in Connecticut, of Cass in
Michigan, of James, in Rhode Island, and of
Dodge in Wisconsin, making the Republicans
seventeen, instead of thirteen. In two years more,
Douglas, the arch traitor in Illinois Jones of
Iowa, Stuart of Michigan, and Allen of Rhode
Island, making the Republican strength twenty
one; and in 1861 the entire body Of the Free
States will present an unbroken front and clear
majority owes all. This triumph in the Senate.
will be followed up by majority in the House,

The Baldwin Seminary.

We would call attention to the advertisement
in this paper of the Baldwin Female Seminary of
this city. The next term commences on Monday
next. Its last term was a most successful one,
and the improvement evinced by its pupils, very
complimentary to their studious application, as
we'll as to their accomplished Preceptress, and
her able and efficient corps of teachers. The
discipline of this Seminary is most thorough, and
the course of instruction embraces all the Scien-
ces, Languages, and Belle Lettres, taught in the
most approved Institutions of the East. We
would endeavor to disabuse our many read ders in
the States of their fear of the lack of Educational
facilities in this Territory. This city is now acell
supplied, and people SO intelligent and enter
prizing as this, will in no wise allow the academ-
ical advantages to fall behind the wonderful pro-
gress in population and wealth.

porous lager-bier manufacturer there, who was
