ROMANCE AND REALITY The San
dusky Register narrates the following
affecting story:
" In the Lunatic Asylum at Column
bus is a pair Of insane lovers. Mental
anxiety of Il peculiar character is sup
posed to have deranged the intellect Of
the young man, who was sent to tho
Asylum some time ago, cured, it was
hoped, permanently, and sent home.
While at home he fell deeply in love with
young girl, who returned his devotion,
and they became tendcrly attached to
each other. But, unhappiIy, the malady
returned upon the young man lac was
separated from the object Of his love and
sent back to the Asylum. Left to her.
self, to muse upon her bereavement, and
the sad destiny Of her lover, the mind Of
the girl became also affected, almost, as
it might seem, from sympathy-and it
was ne: long before she, too, was i'm
INJURED within the walls which sheltered
him. They are both there now. De-
casionaliy they seem to have recovered
their reason, and are permitted to hold
interviews with one another. In one Of
these, the poor girl begged her lover to
marry her, but he replied with melan-
cboly real enough TO bring tears from tho
listeners You know that we cannot DO
married, Ellen; we are unfit for that hap

ATTEMPT TO INJURE A CATHEDRAL
On Monday night last, an attempt was
made to damage the Cathedral at st.
Louis. IL appears some persons placed
two small boxes of powder at the entrance
of the building. and fired them with
slow match. One of the boxes was of
wood, and was about FIVE inches square.
The other was made of paper material Of
the nature of heavy book binding, and
was not more than three inches square.
This box was wrapped with Irvine and
its ends only blown out. Both had been
placed in behind the pillars at the en-
trance, and did no further damage than
shattering the adjacent windows. The ex-
plosion was heard at a considerable dis
lance. 1t is supposed it was the work Of
some mischievous boys.

ering strife AMI perpetual discord into
what has been a happy home. She can
change the innocent babes whom God
has entrusted to her charge into vile men
and even viler women She can lower
the moral tone Of society itself, and thus
pollute legislature at the springfield.
She can, in fine, become an instrument of
evil, instead of making flowers of truth,
purity, beauty and spirituality spring up
in her footsteps, till the whole earth
smiles with loneliness that is almost &C.
lestial, she can transform it to a black
and blasted desert, covered with the
scoria of al evil passions, aud swept by
the bitter blasts of everlasting death
This is what woman can do, for the wrong
as well as the right. Is her mission little
one? Has she no worthy world" as
has become the cry of late? Man may
have a harder task to perform, rougher
path to travel, but he has none loftier OF
more influential than woman's.

How TO Cook Com MEAL.-The Tri.
bune gives the following recipes for
making wholesome and nutritious bread
out Of corn meal:
Corn and wheat bread is wholesome
and nutritious, and easily made-if you
know how. Stir two teacups full OF
white meal in pint of hot water for
each loaf; free it of Jumps, and let it
stand twcnty-four hours. Boil two or
three potatoes, peel and slice, and mash
in pint of water, which thicken with
Aour till it is stiff batter, and then add
halfa teacup full of bakers yeast. You
will use about one-third as much meal
scalded as above, as you do Of flour
knead the meal and yeast and sponge,
and add little salt with the -four all to-
gether, and work it well, and mould in
pans to rise moderately, and then bake,
at first in hot oven. This bread will
be moist, and nutritious and more heal
thy than if it were all -four. Buckwheat
cakes are improved by adding corn meal
prepared in the same way, in about the
same proportion as for bread. A little
wheat -four may be added to advantage.
Don't let your batter over-risc and sour,
and never use saleratus if it does. Corn
meal pudding may be made of yellow
meal, stirred into scalded skinned milk
until as thick as Cruel, and, when cooled
add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and
swectening TO suit the taste, and little
fine cut suet, and some raisins, or dried
peaches, or iine-cut apple. 1t should
bake an hour, or more, according to size.
You who do not believe anything made
of corn-meal can be good, will please try
this recipe for a pudding.

MEDICINAL EFFECTS OF TEA AND Cor
E.--The medicinal properties of these
two beverages are very considerable. 49,
Tea is used advantageously in inflammation
diseases, and as cure for headache. 49,
Coffee is supposed to act as a preventa-
tive of gravel and govt, and to its inau-
ence is ascribed the rarity Of those dis
eases in France and Turkey. Both tea
and coffee powerfully counterfeit the effect.
ofopium and intoxicating liquors though
when taken in excess, and without nour-
ishing food, they themselves produce,
temporarily at least, some of the more
disagreeable consequences incident to
the use of ardent spirits. In general,
however, none but persons possessing
great mobility of the nervous system,
or enfeebled and el'eminatc constitutions,
are injuriously affected by the moderate
use of tea or coffee in connection with
food.

Look UT is what we rejoice to
see-men, women and children-the
rich, the poor--the old and young al
ways looking up. 1t shows the purity
Of your intentions, and the determination
ofyour own heart. No matter if the seas
have swallowed up yuur property Or the
fire consumed your dwcllings-look up
and take fresh courage. Is your name a
by-word and reproach? Look up to the
purity of the skies, and lctit image be
reflected upon your heart. .Detraction
then will rebound from your bosom.
Are you trod upon by the strong? Look
up, push up--and you will stand as
strong as he. Are you crowded out of
the society Of the rich Look up and
soon your company will be coveted.
Whatever may be your circumstances or
condition in life, always make it point
to look up--to rise higher and higher,
and you will attain your fondest expect
ations. Success may be slow, but sure
it will come Heaven is Oh the side Of
those who look up.

E1- Willow trees are said to be as
profitable as peach or pear. They are
cultivated with little cost, and the twigs
sell at high prices. The Germans, who
work in willow, have created a great de-
pand for it, in the last few years. Late
ly they have been constructing 50 many
things from the willow twig, that the
amount used is astonishing. From five
TO six million dollars worth is annually
brought into the United States from
France and Germany. In this country
it can be purchased at 500 ton, peeled
for use.

NEWSPAPERS. Judge Longstreet,
whose views on any subject are sensible,
practical, and worth remembering, thus
sets forth the value Of u newspaper:
Small is the sum that it requires to
patronize newspaper, and amply remu-
nerated is the patron. L care not how
humble and unpretcnding the gazette he
takes, it is next to impossible to fill a
sheet iifty-two times year without put
ting in it something that is worth the
subscription price Every parent whose
son is off from home, should supply him
with paper. | well remember what a
difference there was between those who
had, and those who had not, access to
newspapers. Other things being equal,
the first were always decidedly superior
to the last in debate and composition at
least. The reason is plain; they had
command of more facts. Youths will
peruse a newspaper with delight when
they will read nothing else"

HAVE NO TINE TO READ.-The idea
about the want Of time is mere phan-
tom. Franklin found time in the midst
Of all his labors to dive into the hidden
recess of all his philosophy, and explore
the untrodden path of science. The
great Frederick, with an empire at his
direction, in the midst of war, on the eve
Of battles which were to decide the fate
of his kingdom, found time to revel in the
charms Of philosophy, and intellectual
pleasures. Bonaparte, with all Europe
at his disposal, with kings in his ante
chamber begging for vacant thrones
with thousands of men whose destines
were suspended by the brittle thread of
his arbitrary pleasure, had time to cop
verse with books. Caesar, when he had
car5cd the spirits Of the Roman people
and was thronged with visitors from the
remotest Kingdoms, found time for intel
lectual conversation. Every man has
time; if he is careful to improve it as well
as he might, he can reap threelold re-
ward Let mechanics make use Of the
hours at their disposal, if they want to
obtain a proper influence in society. They
can, if they please, hold in their hands
the destinies Of our Republic; they arc
numerous, respectable and powerful and
they have only to be educated half as well
as other professions to make laws for the
nation.

ES,- To criticise newspaper is an easy
task, but to print one that will please
everybody "and the rest Of mankind, ("
is no mean undertaking. Those who
find fault with every little item which
does not suit their nice IDEAS Of right
and wrong, should buy type and publish
an "organ" Of thier own. If al such
do this, there would be great need Of re-
form in iourualism.

The New York Courier, which has been in fog
for some time, though siding with the Black Re
publcsns, processes, at last to see daylight. The
nomination of Fillmore has scattered the clouds,
and the gallant Webb can now see an inch beyond
his nose. In his last paper he says:
within few days the friends Of Mr.. FillmOr
at Washington have given the most emphatic as
surances to the Southern Know Nothings that in
the event of his election to the Presidency, he U
not under any contingency, countenonce or be a
party TO any legislation gFch shall disturb that Dor
ton Of the Kansas Nebraska ACT Chjch rcpedis tie
Missouri Compromise. This declaration has been
received in good faith by the Southern wing Of the
American party in Congress; and they have put it
forth to their constituents in like good faith; and
they now publicly proclaim and have the best rea-
son for believing that on this platiorm-which is,
in fact, much the Nebraska-Ka platform as
that which will be put forth by the Democracy un-
der the advisement Of Mr.. Dougas-they can car
ry all nearly all, the Wing States of the South.
And 10 this opinion we concur"
This national ground, occupied by the Fillmore
party determines the Courier to cast in its lot with
the Abotonists-and it avows its readiness to
support the "staunchest and most fearless advocate
of that principle, (the Black Repu lcan) Three
candidates, it SAYS, will be in the field, and the
Black Republican will certainly obtain majority in
every Northern State This does not tally with
the news we receive. Ia three handed contest the
Americans avow the conviction of their ability to
obtain plurality in every Northern State-e1cept
perhaps New Hampshire. -RicLmond Wig
