How TO BEHAVE IN CHuRcH-We find the
following hints on etiquette in one ofour en-
changes. They need 10 comment. Read
them:
For GENrLEMEN.-Fancy, upon opening
the door, that everybody will look at YOU
and bear yourself bravely till you get to your
scat. Then pass your hand over your hair
to sec if the hour S labor that you spent on
it bias been in vain, then take long stare
over the congregation to see who is there. If
you chew tobacco. blaze away into the seat
behind, if unoccupied, or else let drive at
your neighbours patent leather. Scratch
your name on the back of the front seat, with
the likeness of a one-eyed hipoogriif stare
frequent y, at the pretty looking girl behind
you, and if possible, send her note assuring
her that She has the prettlest hand or the
most exquisite eye of blue this side of Para
disc. After havlIg exhausted all reasonable
a'nusements you may shut your eyes, open
your mouth, and favor the congregation with
an eXtempore snore. After the service is
over do the agreeable, if possible to some d.
vlnity; thereafter write yourself brick.
FOR YOUNG LADlEs.-Spend four hours in
fixing out before starting, for it is every
young ladies' duty to look pretty, bearing in
MANA .ha' 'dNltS WERE CTcateu LOT the oSDecl-
al purpose of being worshipped by gentlemen
ana attract their unqualified admiration.
Step dainty and gracefully up the isle, seat
yourself, straighten up, seat yourself again.
and repeat the same six consecutive times
iul the outer garment little away over the
lett shoulder, then back on the right, and
after doing this IA few times leave it where
you found it. Straighten down your collar.
then straighten it up, pull out highly pei
fulncd handkerchief, pass it over your lips
and return it. smooth down both sides of
your dress. and thrust the toe ofyour exqui-
site foot little out, and then after rising up
and sitting down again, you will be prepared
for further Developments. Being properly
fixed, you will rise up again and sit down.
and then after rising up and sitting down
once, it would be well to repeat it. If the
gentleman in front sends you note hide it
under your prayer book, or fan, and read it
when he is not looking; you need not pay
particular attention to the preaching, that
will be for the benefit Of sinners, if you have
blue eyes turn them upward. once in a while
if black, partly close the lids and look dreamy.
If there is gentleman in church you par
ticularly fancy, don't look but once at him
and then drop your glance Immediately. -
After church don't accept a gentleman S
company, unless he proilGrs it and let your
Judgment guide you thereafter. a.. .l.sl..

peaks of the nomination of the Cincinnati Con-

The Morning Express of New York thus
speaks of the nomination of the Cincinnati Con-
venlion: .......
unfortunately for Mr.. Buchanan, he is, bv
the platform adapted, pledged to the samcpol-
icy. The measures of the Pierce Administra-
cion are already endorsed, and probably the
man himself lie has held Office under it
abroad, and he has, in advance, announced
his adherence to measures which he before con-
demned. He has stood upon the Missouri
Compromise flat-footed, and in his recent de-
claralion has acquiesc,d and approved of its
repeal. lie has record against the extension
of slavery and a record against arrcstng the
extension of slavery. He has Democratic
record and Federal record, as red and blue
as lucifrr himself. His antecedents as pc.
liucian are of the worst possible sort, and of
so mixed cast that it will lead all cautious
men to Inistrust him.
He has beeilaspiring for the Pres;d ncy for
twenty. five years, and a public man for forty
He has held Federal ceI titicates of election UNI
der the worst regime of federalism, and Dem
ocratic certificates of election since the time
fortune first favored Andrew jackson. Hehas
been an extreme party man, too, and as such
wanting in magnanimity to political oppo-
nents,as witness, his treatment of Henry
Clay, and his attacks on jain Davis, of Mass,
for exposing his Inconsistency and want of
Amcrcansm in regard to American labor
Too ambtiono to be just, and ever ready TO
to he all things to all men-a fifty-four for
ty'' man by PROFESSIONAL ''forty-niEe" man
by action, very English in England very
American in America, very free tradish in the
U. S. Senate, very protective in Pennsylvania
We hardly know man against whose po-
litical professions and practices more can be
said . ...
This record. of course, is to be met fairly
and fuly-not abusively or unkindly-we
hope, but nevertheless in the full light of an in
tcllisent and manly canvass. Wenether like
Mr. Buchanan S antecedcnts, his politics. his
principles, nor the platform on which the Gin
cinnati Convention have placed him. He
wants firmness, consistency, fairness. lie
will, from the necessity of the case, be com
PEELED to walk in the footsteps of the present
Admjnstration, and we pray a kind Froyi-
dence to save us at least from such public
calamity as this. IT,

And one took root. and sproutel up,
And grew into IL tree.
Love sought lis shade mt evening time,
To breathe its early vows,
And age was pleased, in heats Of noon,

The doormousc loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore;
1t stood glory in its place,

Amid the grass and fern;

WI here weary men might turn;

A ladlc at the brink

But judged that toll might drink,

And cheers the valley still

Unstudied, from the heart;

BUSINESS YoUNG MANA young man
of the country, says the Louisville Courier Of
the 18th, became betrothcd to young lady
residing in the city, the only child of Wild
ow who is possessed of some property. We
will suppose the lady was here at school and
that the mother was much in the country,
occasionally visiting her daughter here AT
all events, as report goes, the young fellow
addressed note to the widow, desiring an
interview in the city if she were soon to be
here, otherwise, he would meet her in the
country, saying he had some important bus
mess to transact with her. AS the day for
nuptials had been fixed by the young people
without obtaining the mothers final consent,
she supposed very naturally that it was with
a view Of gaining her appreciation of the
match in due form that the interview was
sought.
The young chap was runctual. In a bust
ness like manner, and without unnecessary
ceremony, he made known his business. He
cody informed the lady that his object in
meeting her was 10 ask her to make the deeds
of her property over to her daughter before
the union with her, which had been fixed for
the next day, could be consumn atcd AT
the same time he made some remark indica-
ting to her that he knew what property she
had. The lady desired to know how he could
have obtained so accurate an account Of her
property and asked whether her daughter
had informed him!
"Oh! no." said he, Il employed lawyer
for that purpose"
"Aye," said the lady, with great self pos
session, "you really seem to have quite
business turn.-Pray sir, what else did you
suppose could do with my property, but
give it to my daughtcr-my only child!"
Indeed, said he, II don't know but you
might marry again, and then you'd keep the
property away from US. :"
The lady at glance saw the GOODNESS, i'm
pudence and busincss-like qualities of the
young scamp, and at once informed him that
although she had intended to give her daught-
CT her portion on the day of her marriage
and had not had heretofore the least idea of
making any objection to their union. she had
now decided that the nuptials must be indef-
lnitely postponed.
The mother and daughter. we understand
consider themselves exceedingly fortunate in
having made timely escape from one who
could manifest SO much cool impudence and
heartlessncss.

A PREcEDENT.-The dismissal of Mr.
Champion calls to mind the case of Mr.. jack
son, the British Minister, who was dismissed
in 1909, for grossly offensive conduct. lie
had just returned from Denmark, where he
had been insolent and overbearing. Our gov
ernmcnt would not submit to his arrogance.
The Secretary of State informed Mr.. jackson
that no further communication would be re-
ceived from him. Mr. Pinckncy, our Minis
ter to England made a representation of Mr..
Jackson's conduct to the British government,
and he was recalled Fifteen months elapsed
before successor was appointed.

Scwell Z. Biggs of Delaware. Mr.. Biegs
spoke for about an hour, with the hest effect.
At the conclusion of his speech three Demo-
Gratis announced their intention Of voting the
Fillmore Ticket.
David Scott Esq, was then called for and
came forward. MI Scott commenced by say.
ing that he had been introduced to the meet.
