WHY SATAN NEVER DISTURBS A
WOMAN

Mohammedans relate the following story
as an authentic and veritable piece of tradi-
| ton illustrative of the fact that the Devil
himself has duties to perform in the world,
and that all things would 60 wrong if he
were idle and neglected them:
''In the days of Mohammed there was an
Arab who had very pretty wife. The
Devil formed himself into SO exact and ac-
curate likeness of her husband that she
could not for the life of her tell which of
the two was her husband. Both claimed
her, that is, the real husband and the Devil
in his likeness. The case excited much
interest in the neighborhood, but no solu-
ton of the difficulty could be obtained. At
length the case was brought before his
Majesty, the Prophet. Mohammed, after
little reflection, held up certain earthen
pot m his hand, with spout like a teapot,
and said to them both, ''Now, whichever is
the real husband will enter this vessel by
the spout and thus establish his claim to the
woman" The Devil, as having more
capacity in that way than the sturdy Arab
of real flesh and bones, entered at once into
the pot as suggested. The moment he
entered Mohammed closed the top of the
spout and kept him shut in. But by the
time Mohammed had kept him shut up for
few days, it was ascertained that the world
was getting wrong in all its machinery
Mohammed was therefore constrained to let
the Devil out from his confinement to take
his necessary place in the management of
the affairs Of the world. But before restor-
ing him to his liberty again Mohammed ex-
torted solemn promise from him that he
would never trouble the ''fair SEX" any more,
but confne himself to what he could do
among the ''male SEX And this the is reason
why Satan never disturbs woman.

PHYSICAL RECREATION.

An Italian gentleman, who recently made
the tour of the United States, said, on his
return, that he would not live there to be
owner of them, adding-'What an unhap-
Ply people, if their faces express their feel
ings! l never saw q man in the street that
didn't seem unhappy, and walked as if driv-
en-; nor scarcely q woman in the house
without a care-worn and fgety air."
A little exaggeration is one of the privi-
leges accorded to travellers from time i'm
memorial; but there is, nevertheless, more
of truth in the above description of the A
mercans, as people, than we are at all
times willing to admit. Perpetually alb
sorted in business, with our mental facul-
ties constantly on the stretch; with notes
to meet; moneys to collect, and projects to
carry out, we exhaust the powers of life by
overstraining them, and only think of relax
alton when it becomes too late to reap much
benefit from the change. The freest nation
in the world, we are yet the most fettered.
Bending all our energies to the one object
of making money, we reject salutary- -recre-
alton as Interfering with more important
duties, and toll on, tortured by anxietes of
our own creating. Though too frequently
troubled with dyspepsia in some one or other
of its protean forms, and otherwise nervous,
excItable and restless, we never seek that
repose and relaxation which nature de-
mands, until the worn out physical struc-
ture is incapable of renovation, and prema-
ture old age admonishes US of the folly we
have committed in the thoughtless disre-
gard of those natural laws, the observance
of which is absolutely essential to health
and longevity.

HENRY CLAY, NOT A KNow-NO-
THINIG

The following letter from Henry Clay,
who was the life and soul of the great Wing
party of this country, shows that he could
not have been Know Nothing if he had
lived to see the rise of the new "Order''
upon the ruins of his old party. Mr.. Clay,
it will be seen, believed that mans rei-
gious belief had nothing to do with his pa
triotism. The letter which follows was ad-
dressed to Gardner Jones, president of the
University of Notre Dame du Lac, near
South Bend, Indiara:
WASHINGTON, March %, 1850.
Dear Sir: have received and attentive
ly perused the letter which, at the instance
of the president and faculty of the Univer-
sity of the Notre Dame du Lac, you ad-
dressed to me the 4th inst. In that letter
they have done me the honor to express
their appreciation of q speech of mine in the
Senate of the United States, the object of
which was to heal all differences, and ami
cably to adjust all controversies, arising out
Of the existence of slavery in the U. States.
Such testimony, proceeding from highly
the world, and regarding justly the inter-
ests which belong to another and future
state of existence as paramount to oil others,
affords me an inexpressible degree of salts
faction.
Nor is this at all diminished by the fact,
that we happen to profess different religious
creeds; for have never believed that that
of 1.-THE Catholic was anti-American and
hostile to civil and religious liberty. On
the contrary, have with great pleasure,
and with sincere conviction, on several pub
lie occasions, borne testimony to my per-
feet persuasion that Catholics were as much
devoted to civil liberty, and as much ami
mated by patriotism, as those who belong
to the Protestant creed.
L am not surprised that, in the seclusion
OF those whom you represent, great solicit
tude should be felt for the safety and pre-
servation of that Union which is our surest
guarantee of peace, order, liberty, and pub
lie happiness. I hope and believe that
dangers which appeared to threaten it have
diminished; but there is still great occasion
for the exercise of spirit of concord, mu-
tual concession, and harmony.
l request you to present to the president
and faculty assurances of my respectful ac-
acknowledgements, and accept yourself those
of your respectful and obedient servant,
II. CLAY"

LAW,

Upwards of eighty years ago, there was
in the town of Hatherlught, in the county
of Devon, an inn known by the name of
the Clients arms. There was swinging
sign board, on one side of which was man,
stripped of his coat and waistcoat, exclaim-
ing, '.I've been to law and have lost And
on the other side of this sign board was
painted man stark naked, crying out,
'Oh! what shall do have been to law
and have won." The origin was this: Two
men had a dispute about little spot of
land, respecting which they could not
agree. Recourse was had to legal proceed
ings, which ended in verdict of jury
The man against whom the verdict was
given could not pay the costs, and the win
ner had to pay all his own. In fact, the
loser was stripped of all his property. The
victor was obliged to sell his little estate;
then took an inn, and set up the above,
mentioned sign as a warning to others
Some of the descendants are now living,
whom we reckon have no fondness for law

INTERESTING CELEBRATION.

The birthday of Henry Clay was cele-
brated on Saturday last on grand scale in
his native county of Hanover, Virginia, at
the Slash Cottage, situated Immediately on
the railroad between Fredericksburg and
Richmond. A large crowd was in atten-
dance, among them Senators Crittenden, of
Kentucky, Butler, of South Carolina, Jones,
of Tennessee, Douglas, of Illinois, Bigler.
of Pennsylvania, Jones, of Iowa, and Ma
son, of Virginia; and the following men,
bers of the House of Representatives I'm
derwoOd, of kentucky, Cadwallader, of

did dinner was served up, and eloquent
speeches were delivered by Messrs. Cash-
ing, Crittenden, Butler, Douglas, Jones,
Bigler, Mason, Jones, Caldwell, Bolts, Web
ster and Key. The ceremony of christen-
ing the Slashes by the name of Ashland was
performed with great fervor, Mr.. Bolts con-
ducting the services peculiar to the occa-
sion. The company separated at an early
hour in the evening.

THE KANSAS FREEsouERs.

We have already informed our readers of
the cowardly move of the mock free-soil
Legislature of Kansas, as soon as they dis
covered that Governor Shannon was ap-
preaching to arrestt the members, on a charge
of treason. They Immediately adjourned,
to meet again on the 4th of July, and dis
persed. On this subject late letter from
Kansas to the St. Louis Republican says ::
The Legislature of Topeka was a misera-
BILE and ludicrous abortion. and its members
are hiding themselves from judicial process
ses, like frightened ostriches. Some have
fed to Iowa, some to Missouri, and the rest
are hiding themselves N bushes, in the vain
hope of security. The Grand Juries of the
Circuit Court, under the instruction of the
Judge Iecompte,) have indicted not only
the members, but all the Judges of election,
and it is the intention of his Honor, at bis
term in Douglas, which begins next week,
to have bills found against Gov. Robinson,
Lieutenant Gov. Roberts, and all the exc
cutive officers. 1t is thought by some, that
when the sheriff enters Lawrence to arrest
these functonaries there will be resistance
and bloodshed; but l apprehend nothing of
the kind. The farcical attempt to hold
Legislature, and ridiculous pretensions that
have been made to amend the laws of the
Territory, and to set up an independent
government which should supersede the
present, have disgusted many of their own
party, who see the absurdity and utter fu-
tility of all such efforts, and are determined
henceforth to recognise the existing author
tiles. Besides which, many of the people
of the North who came here with the stron-
gest prejudices against slavery, have seen
the error into which a one-sided view of the
subject had led them, and are now its war
NEST advocates, not only ON the ground of
profit and convenience, but of utility and
humanity. They have ocular and expert
mental demonstration that it is better, both
for the whites and blacks"

COL. FREMONT AND TIE PREsI.
DENEY

Col. Fremont has addressed letter to
Mr.. Robinson, the Free State" Governor of
Kansas. The Colonel sympathises warmly
with the Governor in his efforts to maintain
the freedom of Kansas" and promises to do
whatever lies in his power to sustain the
cause with which Mr.. Robinsons's name is
identified. He says the state of affairs in
Kansas will require great frmness on the
part of the Governor, as the President, sup
ported by the army, will probably recog-
nize the government which is opposed to the
Free State movement, and concludes by
referring to the meation of his own name in
connection with the Presidency. This has
been done, he thinks, by the partiality of
friends who think of him more Aattering
than he does of himself.
Fremont, like Benton, his father-in- law,
may hatter the free-soilers, with the hope
that thrift may follow fawning," but neither
of these Southern traitors, we predict, will
reach the goal of their ambition through the
disgraceful means adopted.

SOUTHERN STUDENTS IN NORTH
ERIN COLLEGES

The New York Tribune, the most popular
of all the Northern newspapers, has the
following:
1--WE know of eminent persons, long con-
nected with our most distinguished univer-
sites, who regard the Southern students as
the curse of their colleges, and who would
take if blessing should never another
enter their walls. They are, in fact, semi
barbarians, with most of the vices, if with
some Of the virtues, of savages, and untitled
by their previous training for association
with civilized and Christianized youth. Of
course there are exceptions of well-man-
nered, we'll bred Southern youths, in whose
society there is no necessary contamination.
But they are rare ones, and generally to be
found among those who have been caught
young and reared at the North"
We commend the above.

HIGH SENSE OF HONOR.-An English
nobleman ran away with a married woman,
and after she was divorced from her hus-
band married her. Some time having elaps-
ed his lordship was surprised at not receiv-
ing challenge from her former husband.
and being anxious to make reparation, sent
the following offer of satisfaction: s.Sir ::
Having done you the greatest injury that
one man can do another, think it incum-
bent upon me to offer you the satisfaction
which one gentleman owes to another in
such circumstances" The husband re-
piled: "My Lord, in taking off my hands
woman who has proved herself a wretch,
you have done me the greatest favor that
one man can do another, and think it in
cumbent upon me to offer you the acknow-
ledgments which one gentleman owes to
another in such circumstances"

LYNCH LAW IN CHINA.

The New York Commercial has the fol-
lowing extract of letter from China, dated
December 8:
"Our peaceable suburbs were scene of
unwonted uproar yesterday afternoon. A
Canton man quarreled with Fuh Chau
man in the street and killed him on the spot.
He was instantly seized by the mob, and
with his hands tied behind him, taken to
the top of the hill back of the foreign hongs,
and bound to pine tree. The wife of the
murdered man took a nail and drove it into
the body, shoulders, breast, temple and
eyes of the writhing culprit, aided and abet-
ted by furious multitude in her bloody re-
venge. The man was just alive at sun
down. several hours after. l saw the man
gled body this morning. The head was a
perfect mass of gore. The conduct of the
woman is loudly applauded by the natives

AN IDEA.
TRUE AND BEAUTIFUL.

II cannot believe that the earth is mans
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our life
is cast up by the ocean of eternity to float
a moment upon its waves and sink into no.
thingness Else why is it that the aspira-
tions which leap like angels, from the tenn
pie of our hearts, are forever wandering
about unsatisfied! Why is it that the rain
bow and the cloud come over US with a
beauty that is not of US, then pass off and
leave US to muse upon their faded lowell
ness ! Why is it that the stars who hold
their festival around the midnight throne
are set above the grasp of our limited facul-
ties, forever mocking us with their unap-
proachable glory? And, finally, why is it
that forms of human beauty are presented
to our view, and thea taken from us, leav-
ing the thousand streams of our affections
to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our
heart! We are born for higher destiny
than that of earth; there is realm where
rainbows never fade; where the stars will be
out before US, like islets that slumber on the
ocean; and where the beings that pass be-
fore rs like shadows. will stay in our pres
enoe forever II BulrOer.

OF WHAT WOMEN ARE MADE.

! 'Of earthly goods, the best is good wife;
| A bad, the bitterest curse OF human life''
! Simonides, poet famous in his genera.
ton, who fourished some time ago, tells us
that the gods formed the souls of women
out of those seeds and principles which
compose several kinds of animals and ele-
ments and that their good and bad dispo-
sitions arise in them according as such and
such seeds and principles predominant in
their constitutions. He says:
''The souls of one kind of women were
formed out of those ingredients which COM
pose sUine. A woman of this make is a
sloven in her house and glutton at her ta-
BILE.
A second kind is of the for, foxy, and has
an insight into everything, good or bad
some of this class are virtuous, and some
vicious.
A third kind of women were made up of
canine particles; these are scolds, always
barking and snarling, and live in perpetual
clamor.
A fourth kind were made out of the earth.
Such are the sluggards, who pass their time
| in Incidence and ignorance, hang over fire
a whole Winter, and apply themselves with
alacrity to no kind of business but eating.
The fifth species Of females were made
! out of the sea, and are of variable, uneven
tempers, sometimes all storm and tempest,
sometimes all calm and sunshine.
a. l.
gradients as compose a jack or beast of bur-
den; these are naturally slothful and obsti-
nate, but, upon the husband exerting his
authority, will live upon hard fare, and do
everything to please him.
The cat furnished materials for a seventh
species of woman, who are of melancholy,
froward, unamiable nature, and so repug-
nant to the offers of love that they fly in the
face of their husband when he approaches
them with conjugal endearments. This
species of woman are likewise subject to
little thefts, cheats, and pilferings.
The eighth species of female were taken
out of the ape. These are such as are both
ugly and ill-natured, who have nothing
beautiful in themselves, and endeavor to
detract from or ridicule everything which
appears so in others.
The ninth and last species of woman were
made out of the bee; and happy is the man
who gets such one for his wife. She is
altogether faultless and unblameable. Her
family fourishes and improves by her good
L.
is beloved by him. She brings him race
of beautiful and virtuous children. She
herself among her sex. She
never sits among the loose tribe of wo-
men, nor passes her time with them in wan
ton discourses. She is full of virtue and
prudence, and is the best wife that Jupiter
can bestow on man,
