Mr.. Buchanan and the COmpromIse of
1850.

We have never seen anything from Mr..
Buchanan to indicate that he was, in 1850,
in favor of the Compromise Measures which
passed Congress that year. We desire
information upon this subject, and respect
fully ask our neighbors of the Union and
american to say whether Mr.. Buchanan
was in favor of or opposed to the Compro-
mise? Will they answer?

With respect to certain gentlemen of the

Lunt, Hillard, and others-whose names have
been mentioned as among those who were
likely to go for NJ. Buchanan, we may say
that not one of them has any idea Of follow

from good authority when we say that they
regret, as much as we do, such an unexpect-
ed announcement of Mr.. Choate's opinions.

/" THE WIFE FOR ME-"
BY HUYL ALHERRSLER.


Horace Hastings was sober, sensible, en-
terprising bachelor, of some seven and TWEEN
ty years who having obtained an excellent
reputation for his industry and integrity, and
having made himself useful to the mercan-
tile firm in Boston with whom he had served
an apprenticeship, was at length invited to a
partnership in the concern. For some time
he had been encouraged to anticipate this
elevation, and he soberly and energetically
entered upon the new duties of his position.
When business crowded he had but little
leisure, to mourn over his celbate condition
but when the hurrying season was over, and
hours each day hung heavy on his hands, he
could not help thinking how delightful it
would be had he but a house and gentle
wife of his own. His pecuniary circumstan-
ces now warranted such luxuries; and he re-
solved to marry when he could find lady
I" Just suited to the mind"
Near ceantry village in Maine, not thou
sand miles from Bangor, lived an old friend
of his father; and being on a collecting tour
in the region during the autumn months, he
determined to accept an oft repeated invita-
ton to spend few days with the old gentle
man, and sent note announcing his coming.
AT the appointed time he reached the resi-
dence of his old friend, and found that the
family were prepared to welcome him as a
guest In the parlor were two young ladies,
well dressed and quite handsome. He was
duly introduced to Miss Jane and Charlotte,
and found them accomplished and sensible
young ladies. Being just now very suscepti-
bic to the tender passion, he was easily pleas
ed, and exerted his powers to render himself
agreeable to the Hattered maidens. He
succeeded of course. Sensible men, of his
age and prospects, always do when they try.
And his eyes wandering in conversation, from
one handsome, intelligent face to another,
he caught himself several times mentally
inquiring, (Which would make the better
wife ?"
The mother and neat looking maid were
seen at intervals passing from the kitchen
preparing supper. The girl who set out the
table and spread the white, stainless cloth,
and arranged the plates, seemed to do it
gracefully and quietly, as if she had made
such duties a study as a science, and won a
passing glance of admiration as a very neat
and pretty servant-a model of a "help."
Altogether he thought it was a charming
family. When they sat at the cheerful sup
per, and lie tasted the light, homemade
bread, and the sweet, fresh butter, and the
thinly sliced, home-cured beef, the hot, well
favored tea, the excellency and good taste
manifested in the whole ordering, he felicita-
ted himself upon having found so pleasant a
home, even if it was but for a few days.
After the supper was over and the table was
cleared, third young lady, very neatly
dressed, entered the room, and was formally

A PASSAGE FROM GoUGH-Mr. Cough
concluded his Albany Address with the fol-
lowing beautiful inspiring passage. Let ev
cry worker read it, and go to work anew:
"Of those who began this work, some are
living to-day; and l should like to stand
now and see the mighty enterprise as it rises
before us. They worked hard. They lifted
the first turf-prepared the bed in which to
lay the corner stone. They laid it amid
persecution and storm. They worked under
the surface: and men almost forgot that
there were busy hands laying the solid foun-
dation far down beneath. By-and-by they
got the foundation above the surface, and
then commenced another storm of persecu-
ton. Now we see the superstructure, pillar
after pillar, tower after tower, column after
column, with the capitals emblazoned-
truth, sympathy, and good will to all men.
Old men gaze upon it as it grows up before
them. They will not live to see it complet-
ed, but they see in faith the crowning cope
stone set upon it. Meek-eyed women weep
as it grows in beauty; children strew the
pathway of the workmen with flowers. We
do not see its beauties yet--we do not see
the magnificence of the superstructure yet
because it is in course of erection. Scafold-
ing ropes, ladders, workmen ascending and
descending mar the beauty of the building;
but, by-and-by, when the hosts who have

degrade mankind; when they shall come

meant that mankind should stand; to the

ADVICE TO THE GIRLs.-Girs, if young
fellow greets you in loud, free hearty voice,
if he knows precisely where to put his hat or
hand, if he stares you right in the eyes, with
his mouth wide open, if he turns back to
speak to another, if he eats heartily in your
presence, if he fails to be very foolish in fifty
ways every hour, then don't fall in love with
him for the world; he only admires you, let
him do and say what he will. But if he be
merry with every one else but quiet with
you,Iif he is anxious to see that your tea is
sweetened, and your sweet little person
wrapped up when you go out in the cold, if
he talks low and never looks you in the eye,
if he has red cheeks, or if he is pale and his
nose blue it is enough; if he romps with
your sister, sighs like bellows, looks solemn
when you are addressed by another gentle
man, and in fact, is the most stupid of fel-
lows, you may go ahead and invoke the
shafts of Cupid with perfect safety, and
make the poor fellow too happy for his skin
to hold him. ..,,,.
