NATURAL DIPLOMATS.

Nature and Lord Chesterfield about
ithe same time entered upon a trial Of
skill in producing diplomats. The
parties were as nearly matched as they
ever can be, where nature Is on one
side and man on the other. Both par
ties exerted themselves to the utmost,
and the contest was very spirited
one!-lt VIII be long before the world
tires Of reading Of the struggles Of both
parties. The result was-Nature pro
duced Franklin, aud Chesterfield a
learned BOBBY. Similar contests had
taken place before, and have taken
place since; but Nature always has
had greater odds in her favor upon
other occasions, in the adversary
against which she has been pitted.
Our old spelling books used to have

Pride

'Tis curious fact as ever was known
In human nature, but often shown
Alike in castle and cottage,
That pride, like pigs Of certain breed,
VIII manage to live and thrive On feed
As poor as pauper's pottagel
Of all the notable things on earth,
The queerest one is pride of birth,
Among our ''fierce democracyr'
A bridge across hundred years,
Without prop to save it from sneers-
Not even couple of rotten Peers
A thing for laughter, sneers and jeers,
Is American aristocraey
Depend upon it, my suobbish friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend,
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed at the further end
By some plebian vocation!
Or, worse than that, your boasted line
May end in loop of stronger twine
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put on airs,
with insolent pride Of stationl
Don't be proud and turn up your nose,
At poorer people in palmer clothes,
Bnt learn, for the sake of your minds re
pose,
That wealth's a bubble that eomes-an
goosi
And that all proud flesh, wherever i. grows
Is subject 10 irritation.

Ice Drops.

See tie mimic blossoms hanging
Thick on every bud and spray;
When the sun shines out moment
They will melt and drop away.
Hark, the wind is breathing gently
Through the ice-incrusted tree
And a sweet enchanting music
Floateth on the morning breeze.
Thus along life's frozen valley,
Oft we hear some pleasing sound;
But perchance, it ends as sadly
Ends with. branches falling round.
Now the gems Of joy are shining
All along our youthful way;
Bot, alas like frosted blossoms,
They are destined to decay.

That much q widowed wife will moan,
When her old husbands dead and gone,
may conceive it;
But that she won't be brisk and gay,
If another offer the next day,
won't belieyeit;
That Chloris will repeat to me.
"Of all men adore but thee,"
may conceive ii;
But that she has not often sent
To fifty more the compliment,
Iwon't believe it.
That Celia will accept the choice
Elected by her parent's voice,
may conceive it:
But that, as soon as all is over,
She won't elect a younger lover,
WON'T believe it.
That, when she sees her marriage gown,
Iaez vii modestly lock dawn,
may conceive IL
But that she does not from that hour,
Resolve to amplify her power,
won't believe it.
That n kind husband to his wife,
Permits each pleasure of this lite,
Imay conceive it:
But that the man SO blind should be,
As not to see what all else see,

That il a mirror young coquettes
Should study all their traps aud nets,

But that the mirror, above all,
Should be the subject principal,

the attention of the reader to the following
tantalizing paragraph which we find in a
late number of the Mobile Register: "The
delight of last nights feast at Odd Fellows

single occasion. So it was resolved to re-
peat the festival to night, and hundred
active fingers are now engaged in plucking
the fresh ripe berries for the new supply

pected as from Baptist? The corporation
of Romanists on the one side, insists that
here the day-star of American freedom a.
rose, and the Baptists on the other hand as
sert, with no small share of truth, that the
whole fabrication of this Government, civil
ly and religiously, is indebted to Baptist
influence; that the rude elements of the
Constitution of the General Government,
Jefferson received from Baptist Church Or
ganization; and that outside of the declara
tion of Roger Williams, as to time and fact,
there was no colonist who published free
dom of conscience, as the indisputable right
of man. But have said enough to invite
attention to the book, and enough to secure
the service of some competent brother to
undertake this work. [ have no question
but that it would largely pay the author and
compiler pecuniarily, and future genera
tons would praise him.

THE DAY-STAR.

yTNHE undersigned has just published and now
l. offers to the public
THE D.4Y-ST.4R OF .4JMERIC.4N FREEDOM;
Or the birth and early growth of federation IN
the Province Of Maryland. With sketch of
the Colonization upon the Chesapeake and its
Tributaries, preceding the removal Of the Gov
eminent from ST. Mary's to Annapolis; and a
glimpse of the numbers and general state of So
ciety, of the Reiigio and Legislation, of the
Life and Manners of the men, who worshipped
in the wilderness, at the first rude altar OF Lii
berty. By GEO. LYNN-LAcHLAN DAVIS, of the
Bar of Baltimore. One Volume, 12mo
Among the features of the work not unworthy
of attention. it may be proper to mention the large
number of documents taken from the Archives at
Annapolis and at London; new Interpretation OF
the provincial charter: the arrival OF nearly nifty
prominent families connected with the colonial
ton of Maryand the foundation of more than
ten distinct settlements upon the Chesapeake, up
on its tributaries, and upon its islands; and no.
tce of the earliest history of several of the coun-
ties. The first footprints of the Anglican, and of
the Roman Catholic, of the Puritan and of the
Friend, are studiously noted And the Protestant
Revolution of 1859 is sketched, with the exclusive
aid of documents derived from the English State
Paper Office.
But the main object Of the volume--one which
cannot fail, especially at present, to interest the
student of American history, in every part of the
United States--is to trace the birth and earliest
growth of our religious liberty; to give (what has
never yet been in prnt) the name of every person,
who sat in the Assembly, which passed the cele-
brated federation Act; to sketch the life and char
acter of each member; to furnish key to the
faith Of large majority; and to present with the
utmost fairness and fidelity, the clam of the early
Roman Catholic colonists to the honor Of found
ing the first principles of religious liberty in A
merica. CHARLES SCRlBNER,
