An Enthusiastic Compliment.

The enthusiastic Kelmer thus dis
courses upon the fair sex:---"Woman
is indeed q bright and beautiful crea-
ture. Where she is there is a paradise.
where she is not, there is q DESERT
Her smile inspires love, and raises
human nature nearer to the immortal
source of its being. Her sweet and
tender heart gives life and soul to dead
and useless things. She is the ladder
by which we climb from earth to
heaven. She is the practical teacher
of mankind, and the world would be a
void without her. She is more a
celestial than terrestrial being
charming and amiable as a girl, duti-
full as wife and glorious as a mother
She is the balsam of mans life---his
faithful counsellor and pillow. She
can impart all the pleasures to his
cares of friendship, all the enjoyment
of sense and reason, and all the sweets
of life.'
(We stop the author here, in order
that the reader may draw his breath,
and try to guess whether Kelmer was
a married man or batchelor)

ADVICE TO GIRLS---GRATIS

Advise the girls2 Why shouldn't

Ay 4! and such a girl! You should
have seen me! None of your
straight-laced, wasp-waisted crea-
lures that would faint at the men
ton of a leg of a table, | was
not such @ girl, / can tell you, but
1 was large They used to tell
me 1 was overgrown. Did I care?
No indeed! | was a wild frolic-
some, free, merry-hearted country
girl. | didn't care about the rules
of etiquette; why should IT,
There was no fun in them; but
laughed outright when [ pleased
shouted when ove1oyed, and
cried when happiest. But I don't
see such country girls nowadays.
Why7 There's none to be seen.
They are all apeing ladies' the
manners, and fashions of city young
ladies' affecting gentility, polite
ness and fashionable delicacy.-
For the purpose of appearing
delicate and lady-like, they put on
stays, and draw the strings tight
er every day; load themselves
down with Skirts and wear shoes
at least two sizes too small for them.
Why is this all done2 just to
please the men. Good gracious!
didn't you know that a sensible
man would love you justas fervent-
ly if you possessed good, sound
healthy breathing apparatus, as he
would a woman with diseased
lungs, deformed spine, and the
Lord knows what not7 Why bless
me! I married and never wore
stays. Aye!I can breathe clear
and halloo like Jemima.
Girls, just unite half score of
strings from around your waists,
and let off at least half your petit
coats. You need not be over-anx-
ious to incur spinal complaints,
prolapsus and a host of other dis
eases. 1t isn't necessary. And do
get shoes that you can get on with
out greasing your stockings
1t isn't any advantage to get them
too small. Don't go moping,
whining and simpering about the
house, too languid to wait on your
self; but be smiling and happy.
1 love to see a light springing step,
and hear merry ringing laugh;
for I know there is a pure heart
there throbbing, whether beneath
rags or velvet.

TRUTH.

The less you leave your chill
dren when you die, the more they
will have twenty years afterwards.
Wealth inherited should be an in
centive to exertion. Instead of
that sit is the title deed to sloth,"
The only money that does a man
good is what he earns himself
A ready-made fortune is like ready
made clothes, seldom fits the man
who comes into possession
Ambition, stimulated by hope and
a haf-filled pocket-book, has a
power that will triumph over all
difficulties, beginning with the
rich mans contumely, and leaving
off with the envious mans malice.
The Albany Police Tribune says
this. Amt it true?

Stop that Boy,

He holds cigar in his mouth, has
a swagger in his walk, inpudence in
his face, and care-fornOthingness in
his manner Judging from his de
meanor he is older than his father,
wiser than his teacher, more honor
ed than the Mayor of the town, and bet
ter than the President. Stop that boy !;
ho is going too fast he don't see
himself as others see him he don't
know his speed. Stop him ere tobac-
co skaters his nerves; ere pride ruins
his character ere the loafer masters
the man; ere good ambition and man
ly strength give way to low pursuits
and british aims. Stop all such boys
They are legion the shame of their
families the disgrace of their towns !;
the sad and solemn reproaches of them
selves.

Young Man You're Wanted.

A woman wants you. Don't forget
her. No matter if You are poor
Don't wait to be rich, if you do, ten
to one if you are fit to be married.
Marry while you are young and
struggle up together. But mark,
young man, the woman don't want
you if she is to divide her affections
with cigar, SpittoOn, or whiSkey jug.
Neither does she want you ifyou can't
take care of her, and any LITTLE AF-
TER THOUGHTS which are pretty sure
to follow. Neither does she want YOU
simply because yOu are man, the
definition of which is too apt to be
an animal that wears bifurcated gar
ments on his lower limbs, quarter
section of stovepipe on his head,
swears like a pirate and is given to
filthy practices generally. She wants
you for a companion, helpmate-
she wants you to have learned to
regulate your appetite and passions;
in short she wants You if You are
made in the image of God, not in the
likeness of a beast; if you are strong
in good purposes, firm in resistance to
evil, pure in thought and action as you
require her to be, and without which
inward purity, neither of you are fitted
for husband or wife if you love virtue
and abhor vice, if you are gentleman
", forbearing aud kind, and not loud
talking, exacting and brutal, young
man, that woman want you; that
modest, fair cheerful, right looking
frank spoken woman, we mean, who
fills your idea of maiden and wife---it is
she that wants you, marry her when
you like, whether YOU are rich orpoor;
we'll trust you both on the conditions
above named, without further securi-
ty,

then begged her to let him see her. Un-
conscious of the presence Of any one in
the parlor, Mrs Harley entered the room at
one door, as her friend went out at the
other. As she advanced, he rose and
came towards her.

SPREAD YOURSELF.

Rev. DR.. Woods, of Newton,
Miss, at late meeting of the Pres
byterian Church held in New
York, told the following story:
"The people of New York city
may perhaps suppose that clergy
men from distance who attempt
to make speeches in the metropolis
have taken the advice of certain
lady who was emigrating to In
diana. In order that she might
be provided for the exigencies of
the times, she carried with her
two hens and two dozens of eggs.
By the way, one of the hens died,
and the lady got to her destina-
ton; she put the twenty-four eggs
in one nest, and set the hen upon
them. After a while she went
back to see how things Were going
on, and found that the hen had
contracted herself and did not COW
er more than half the eggs, where
upon the good lady says, Mrs. hen,

and if you are going to do any,
thing here, you must spread yoaa-

Like the rairest rose of summer,
Carrie bloomcd, and Carrie died;
O. how lone this world without her,
For she was my JOY and pride;
Long loved her, loved her dearl y
Soon she was my own to be;
But she's sleeping, sweetly sleeping,
Meath the dark magnolia tree.
Yondor see It in the valley,
See its branches waving gay,
Sec that streamlct dancing by it,
Singing sweetly all the day
Sinr thou on, thou ne'er wilt wake her,
Who so often sang with thee;
No, she's sleeping, calmly sleeping,
Meath the dark magnolia tree.
What is home, my angel Carrie,
To stricken heart like mine?
What is earth with all its treasures,
When compared with worth of thine?
1t is nothing, nothing, motI'ing!
All is nothing now to me;
O, alas, thou'rt sleeping, sleeping
Meath the dark magnolia tree,
Carrie, yes my gentle Carrie,
Dwells among the angels now;
One more harp is heard in heaven,
One more heart is wrecked below.
But Pm coming, yes, I'm coming,
For where thou art, would be;
Soon, yes, soon shall be sleeping
Meath the dark magnolia tree.

A SCENF IN KANzAs.--A correspondent OF
the Chicago Tribune gives a graphic account
of the dispersion Of the Free State legislature
by Col. Sumner, and its attendant scenes
Alter the great act, the account continues -
AS Col. Sumner was coming down. stairs.
he recognized Col. Phillips of the New York
Tribune, and nodded to him.
Colonel" said Phillips, "you have robbed
Oliver Cromwell of his laurels "
Sumner did not speak, but the expression
of his eye clearly indicated what he thought
He looked startled at first, then serious, ang-
ry, and agitated. He evidently sa w at once
the full enormity of the orders he had been
conn elled to obey; and how odious his act
even although unwillingly executed, would
appear in the annals of American history
He mounted his horse and gave olders to
march.
Three cheers were given for Col. Sumner
as he put his foot in the stirrup, in order to
convince him that, although the people allow =
ed the act he had committed, they did not re-
gard him as responsible for it.
FORWARD March !" shouted the officer,
in strong. ringing, but agitated voice.
"Three cheers for John e. Fremont 70 cried
gentleman in the crowd. Three loud, pro-
longed, and enthusiastic cheers were given
for the republican candidate. The troops
heard it, and saw the Free State officers
smile as they rode along.
Three groans for Franklin Pierce !" cried
another squatter. An effort was made to
suppress this demonstration of disrespect, lest
the officers should suppose, as they were now
some distance off, that il was intended for
them. But it was too late, and three hearth
ly given gr0ans were heard in the streets.

Charleston Is. CO. Standard thus speaks Of Mr..
Fremont and his prospects -" he still displays
address in sticking 10 the simplicity of the issue
upon which he proposes to stand. No one in a
free State can possibly say anything against the
proposition to exclude slavery from the terrific
ries of the United States Some are too conserv
atve to proptiate the act but all will approve it
and il he carry all the free States he,will car
ry the Presidency also his tactics are judicious.
Mr.. Buchanan has to carry forty years of service,
and an immense platform, which contains some
thing offensive to everybody, Mr.. Fillmore car
ries the platform of the KNOWN Nothing party, at
least, and besds this, the traditions of political
career, and one term in the Presidency. Both
are weighed, therefore, too heavily for good
race, and there be no question but that in this
respect, at least, Mr.. Fremont will have vastly
the advantage"

Further Particulars of the Railroad

Further Particulars of che Railroad
Disaster.
PHILADELPHIA, July is. The excitement
relative to the railroad catastrophe is undated
The railroad depots and streets adjacent are
thronged with excited people.
+ At the scene of the disaster the excitement
among the surviving passengers and those
who came to the ground was, at one time di-
rected against Mr.. Van Stavoren, the Con-
6uctor of the down train, whose violations of
the rules of the road was alleged ia have
caused the appalling calamity. That indi-
vidual had borne the reputation OF being
careful intelligent aud reliable man, and
many were at loss to explain his condgct.
Soon after the accident he came 70 the ety.
and Immediately proceeded to his residence in
Tenth and Buttonwood streets. There, 1t is
said, he appeared to be laboTing under
gloomy excitement, either proceeding from
mental trouble or injuries received by the
shock of the collision. He went out, and re-
turned about dinner time. About o'clock
in theAnfternoon he was found dead The
story that he had committed suicide by taking
arsenic was spread throughout the city
furnishing material for the gossips, who never
have a sufficient mouthful when calamity of
this kind occurs. Others said that grief and
remorse had killed him, but the brother of
Mr.. Van Stavoren called at our office to in
form us that the unfortunate conductor had
died of internal injuries received by the shock
of the collision.
The investigation of the accident was not
commenced this evening by the Coroner of
this city, as the calamity occurred beyond the
bounds of the city, having taken place in
Montgomery county, and most OF the bodies
were removed to this city before the Coroner
of that county had seen them, A joint in
vestigation by both Coroners will probably
commence to morrow.
1t has been ascertained that not less than
100 ale wounded.
Sevetal others of the burnt bodies were
identified by their friends.
-Four other names are added to the list of
missing.
Philadelphia, July 19.-The dead Of the
railroad catastrophe, as far as ascertained,
amount to ffty-six, including six unrecog-
nlzed bodies. The wounded, as far as known,
number seventy eight. Many of these are in
a very preearious condition, and their death is
hourly expected.
Contributions are being made for the relief
of the sufferers. Over oGe thousand dollars
have already ben received at the Inquirer of
hee.

WING MEETING IN FANEUIL HALL. On
Friday evening last, in response to call, the old
line Wings of Boston, favorable to the election
of Fremont and Dayton, met in large numbers
at Faneuil Hall. The meeting was called to
order by VIM 7. Eusts, Esq, and R. 1 Burbank
Esq, chosen President, with list of Vice Presi-
dents and Secretaries, all the officers of the meet
lug being prominent straight Wings, who now
wisely seek to carry out that which is good and
practical in their former avowed principles, by
aiding in the success of the Peoples movement.
The speech Of Col Burbank, on taking the chair,
concluded as follows
The Wings as yet have no candidates in the
field. The issues for the campaign has been
made up. We had no voice therein, but we
as good citizens should vote nevertheless, and
vote conseientiously, which we propose to do;
and when in those issues we see slavery on
one side and freedom on the other we pro :
pose to vote for freedom, and for Fremont and
Dayton and if all real friends of freedom,
unrestrained by party discipline, would vote
with us, we all could elect them both. If we
ia |, it will be worse for us. But we'll not
fail, but screw our courage to the sticking
point and we'll not fail. Let us vote for
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one
and Inseparable.'
