The Good Man seems to find an especial
happiness in loving and being loved by young
children In truth, the man without such
love is as much behind humanity as that 9TH
er individual whom the poet has stigmatized
as being less than man, for no other reason
than that he has not music ia bis soul. In
deed, it may be said that there is no music
like the voice of happy, and no beauty like
that in the face Of an intelligent child

MEx MORE POLITE TEAM WoMxv.-A Gin
cianati editor says that men are more polite
than women, and proceeds to prove il
IN this wise -" Not long since VIC had
occasion to ride a short distance In one
Of our city omnibuses 1t was after dark,
and the omnibus started OF, nearly filed with
men. Soon it stopped, and woman opened
the door. Instantly there was a move among
the men; they crowded together, and a seat
was furnished the lady. After proceeding a
square or two further, another lady wished
to get in; an additional squeeze was made
and she was accommodated with seat. A
similar application was again soon made, and
a gentleman Instantly gave up his seat, and
got on top Another soon followed, and an
other gentleman did likewise. Repeated in
stances like this occurred, and the gentlemen
by crowGing together, holding market baskets
and children, accommodated every lady APP
plcant, till we counted inside-mep, women,
and children-ucarly twenty persons. Then
the number began to diminish; men and child
ren got out, and the omnibus was decentIy
filed with women, there being only two men
inside, and they at the further end, completely
blocked in by market baskets. And now a
woman opened the door; not lady inside
stirred. Can | have a seatp modestly asked
the applicant Il should like to see where
you'd sit' said one hdy Don't You see this
bus is full said another You can stand
sneeringly said third L can walk said
the spunky applicant, and slamming the
door, off she walked. Now, had the omni.
bus been as full Of men rs it was of women
that lady would have been furnished seat
without murmur But it is not only in the
omnibus that men show their superior polite
ness over women. Ina rainy day, if we meet
two men abreast on a crossing one instantly
steps behind the other, and gives you pass
way. But if you meet two ladies, ten chances
to one, but you will have TO step into the
mud. In a crowded church, men viii squeeze

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
Senator Douglas a Freesoilar.


The tremendous vote Tor Freedom and
Fremont al the late election, and the intrn-
sic and nearly irresistible moral power Of
the Republican movement, has made pro-
found impression upon all the ambitious
minds in the country, evidences of which
are daily revealed. There has, with few
exceptions, been soitening of the tone of
the organs OF Rufiandon, and in the excep-
tional cases there have been spasmodic
shrieks for disunion, concerning which there
should be as little alarm as about the cries
OF spoiled child. Even Senator Douglas
has been speaking softly up in New York
-cooing gently as dove. He has been
married recently TO very sweet and beau
tiiul woman, as the public have been par
ticularly informed, and perhaps his wife
may have had soitening and genial inhu-
ence upon his obdurate and flinty heart
When he made the speech TO which we have
reference, he was on visit TO his mother
in Ontario county, New York, where some
OF his admirers gave him the compliment of
a public supper and ball, furnishing the
opportunity TO make a speech. 1t is moi
impossible but his visit TO his mother was
OF service in bringing him into happy state
Of mind, But more than the influence of
wife and mother, we are constrained to
consider the Fremont vote efficacious in
working out his conversion. We find q
report Of the speech of the Senator in the
Ontario Repository. The main portion of it
was devotee TO explaining TO his old neigh
bors 'the true character of the Nebraska
Bill" which, as always he claimed was
based upon the principles of self-govern-
ment itself. He said after an elaborate ex-
position of his doctrine:-
The objection to this doctrine, as applied
TO our new Territories, that the people of
such Territories, if left 10 themselves, might
legislate into their country the crime of
Slavery, as well as other crimes, he an
swered by showing, from the well-known
history OF the United States, that in the ex-
ercise of this right of self-government, in-
stead of so doing, six of the original thir-
teen colonies, which commenced by being
slaveholding colonies, had actually emanci-
pated their slaves without the least coercion
from the Government of the United States;
and the same result ,Uould tolloW, as he
thought, in other Slaueholding States, If The
citizens Of the non. SIdueholding STATES apo,ad
only give them the privilege Of making their
own lars in their DUN acay; and the Tern.
tories, in particular, achere Slavery has not
yet been introduced, Uere IN NO DANGER OF
ADMITTING THE INSTITUTION, AS 1T WAS
AGAINST THE GENERAL CONSCIENCE AND
PREJuDIcEs OF THE PEOPLE OF THE couN-
TRY, BOTH NoRTA AND SOUTH.
Gen. Shields followed Douglas and said
he was opposed TO the extension of S2arery
he was thorough .Anti- Slavery man; and
,rere he an inhab,tdnt Of Kansas he should
oppose the introduction Of the system into that
4er, TORY; but, Democrat, he was in favor
of the utmost popular liberty, and willing
that the people of Kansas should have the
privilege of making laws and institutions for
themselves.

Hurley's Sarsaparilla!

THE GREATEST MEDICINE of the AGE,
TNHE Proprietor of Hurley's Sarsaparilla has,
l. during the past season, received hundreds of
testimonials from all parts of the Union to the
virtues of this unequalled remedy, for a variety
of diseases to which mankind is subject In no
one that he is aware of has it failed to give
satisfaction when taken according to the direc-
tons enclosed with each bottle.
The Sarsaparllla Root has long been used by
the Faculty as remedial agent, it being found in
certain cases to be superior to all other remedial
agents known, but the great difficulty experienced
in obtaining the pure extract, and the mberless
quack preparations termed Syrups of Sarsaparil-
la palmed upon the public has operated to pre-.
vent its use so extensively as it deserves These
obectious are all obviated in this compound

eterious mixtures.

Minnesota About to Ask Admission as q
State.

We learn from Washington that Mime
sofa will take the initiatory steps for ad-
mission into the Union at this session of
Congress, through her Delegate, Mr.. Rice.
The Chicago Press says: We presume
that only The southern portion of the Terri
tory will be embraced in the limits Of the
new State, which include the great bulk of
its population, and the people as by almost
universal consent, are in favor Of dividing
it into two States, the line of division to run
east and west. Ultimately, however, we
think there ought TO be four States in Min
nesota. Its area embraces 10000 square
miles, and division into four parts would
give to each $4,000, amply sufficient 10
make good sized State. In the course of
another year two might be organized, each
with population sufficient to form a repre-
sentative district upon the present basis Ga
little over ninety thousand.) The present
population of the Territory is said to be
10000, and before this time next year it
will have swelled to nearly or quite to hun
dred thousand. We hope, therefore, that in
establishing the boundaries of the new State
it will not be SO large as to preclude the or
ganization Of two or three States hereafter.
