Reopen,ng of the slave Trade.

The New Orleans Crescent closes it's COM
ments upon the proposition of Gov. Adams,
of South Carolina, to reopen the African
slave trade, as follows:
In our opinion the times require a full,
frank and unequivocal expression of opinion
upon the subject matter involved in the
proposition we have argued in opposition
to.
If slavery is "a great moral and politi-
cal evil, !" as it has been declared to be by
the President elect, Mr.. Buchanan, it
would certainly be criminal in our govern
ment to permit the revival Of a trade which
it has prescribed and denounced as pratt
cal. But no one has any idea that seri-
Gus attempt will ever be made to repeal
the laws of the United States interdicting
the traffic. The proposition of Gov. Ad-
ans, if made in earnest, establishes nothing
more than that the Governor has not ceased
TO perpetrate silly actions since he agreed
to go to Raleigh last summer to concoct
measures for dissolution of the Union, as
was charged upon him at the time. We
suspect, however,it is but one Of the means
by which Southern fanatics afford North.
ern fanatics fuel to keep up the fires of
agitation, and was designed for no higher
purpose. 1t is not the interest of the
South to increase the number of slaves by
importations from Africa. They increase
already sufficiently fast for the territory TO
which slavery is restricted, and we appre
bend too fast to calm the fears of those who
distrust the future. Believing slavery as
il exists in the South blessing to society,
the very best use to which the negro race
can be put, We are not Of that class who
fear the effects of its future increased pre-
ponderance in numbers. But there are
men, calm, rejecting men, who have gloomy
forebodings on this subject, and who for
that reason seek the extension of the area
Of slavery to put off the solution Of the
problem to a remote period. 1t is not
possible that the combined voices of these
men and those who regard the Introduction
of more slaves from abroad as impolitic,
will ever be disregarded 10y the national
Legislature, and it is, all things considered,
worse than idle to agitate the subject

A sermon TIA, did not sui.

Mrs. Il was very religious woman,
and perhaps came as near worshiping Mr.. N,
her favorite minister, as some of our people
DO Kossoth, the Hungarian; but be that as it
may, she was constantly hammering Aaron, q
shFewd lad of some sixteen years of age, who,
: to poster the old lady, and hear her scod,
would occasionally speak rather lightly of Mr..
N, her minister.
Happening in at the house of Mrs. II. one
day, the old lady began as usual to chastse
him. and Aaron thinking she put it on rstti or
hard, after hearing her through, said:
II am as good as Mr.. a., and can preach a.
we'll"
."Preachl"s said the old lady "you don't know
one single word in the Bible"
"Well, give me text" said Aaron, sand
see If | can't PREACH"
"Yon don't know anything abont the Bible, "
said Mrs. d., 'ff you do, you may take any
text you please"
"Well, said Aaron, GA virtuous woman is
without price amt that in your Biblei'
YES" said Mrs. H., land it shows that wo-
men are better than men, for the Bible don't
say that virtuOus man is without price,"
well, we will see about that" said Aaron,
and after dividing his subject into two OF three
heads, commenced as follows:
"The scarcity of an article in all cases gov
erns the price, but when an article cannot be
found, it cannot be had at any price, and for
that reason it is without price Now, if there
were any virtuous women, there would be q
price, and high enc, too, by reason of the
scarcity, but as there are none"-
At this stage of the discourse the old lady
seized the broom
aaron" said she, "you are an impairment
brat, and if you don't clear out, will pelt you
with the broom handle"
Aaron made tracks into the road, finishing
his sentence, ''they are without price," as he
went through the door, which the old lady
closed after him with considerable force.
Aaron now started for home, saying to him
self as he went along, Il guess the old woman
will not chastise me again very soon, and as
it proved, he was not mistaken in his predic-
tion.- C0Rtaco0k Transcript.

E- Somebody, we don't know who, has
given to the world the following
MORAL AND EXAMPLE.

MORAL AND EXAMPLE.
"Listen, said |, "listen and attend. and you
shall have moral and example When the
wasp now in the window entered the room,
you flew at it with all kind Of violence
wonder it didn't sting every one of you. Now,
in future, let a wasp when II COMES have it's
little bout, aud make its little noise. Don't
stir muscle-don't move lip-but be quiet
rs the statue of Venus or Diana, or any body
of that sort, until the wasp seems inclined-as
at this moment--to settle. Then do rs / do
now" Wherenpon, dipping the feather end
of pen in the eruet OF salad oil, approached
the wasp, and, in the softest and tenderest
manner possible, just oiled il upon the body
the black and yellow, like groom's waistcost
when down It fell, turned upon its hack, and
was dead in minute. "rhere girls" said /,
''see what kindness and lille oil does. Now
here's moral aud example. When husband
comes home in an III humor, don't cry out and
ly at bin; but try little oil--in fact, treat
your husband like wasp"
A very pretty theory, bot We fear it would
be hard 10 reduce il to practice, either Us re.
CARDS the wasp or the husband. We are not
very well posted with regard to thecharacter-
istics of the wasII We don't know whether
he would remain quiet, aud allow himself TO
be sinOOthed down with feather dipped in
oil or not. We can DOLLY say, We should not
ike to trust him. As for the husband, Mrs.
Jenkins Informs us thst she tried the oil sJs-
TEN to her perfect satisfaction. When Mr.. j.
comes home, full Of liquor or spleen, or both

R9- The Union and american republsh-
es apledge of Mr.. BELL to resign his seat
in the Senate should the people decide
against his position on the Nebraska-Kan-
sas bill, and says be ought TO conform to it,
The honorable Senator may well ask in re-
ply "When did the people Of Tennessee de-
eide the question against me?" Surely
they did not do il in the recent canvass.
1t was the cry of "No chance for Fillmore;
vote for Buchanan to beat Fremont" that
decided that canvass in Tennessee.

MISERY IN LIFE-SPLENDoR IN DEATH-The
Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes
as follows:
There is a singular story prevalent about one OF
the splendid monuments that exist in the cemetery
of Pere La Chaise, that is well worth relating
gentleman who bears a name that had few years
back, brilliant notoriety but of which the exs-
tence short was the heir to an immense fortune
This fortune he has spent and he is now reduced
to a state of complete poverty And yet this man
possesses in the cemetery of Pere La Chaise, in
that splendid abode of past greatness one Of the
most magnificent tombs that gTaces it, architectural
alleys. This monument and the ground which
surrounds it was bequeathed to him by a rich uu-
Gle who is inferred there.
With the value of his property, which by its To-
cation and the considerable quantity OF ground on
which it stands, is exceedingly valuable, he might
create resources sufficient to live upon But the
tomb is nalienable he is restricted by will from its
sale, transfer adoption to other than that Of
a tomb for his uncle aud himself He is therefore
compelled to keep invioate this object OF posthu,
nous luxury. Driven lately from his garret for
want OF money to pay his rent, he demanded to
know if at least be could not lodge while living, in
the mausoleum which awaits his mortal remains,
a demand which was necessarily refused him.
His position thus becomes one of the most sinCu.
lar it is possible to encounter. He possesses in his
right valuable piece of property, and yet he is in
complete misery. During his life he has not the
means TO pay for the poorest lodging, aad after
death he will occupy palace And will il not be
a strange spectacle one day to see him carried to
his splendid abode the pauper's car to be ai !
away in a rough uuplaned coiliu!

A TIGER SToRY-A gentleman writing to
to the Savannah Georgian, from Mill Cave, St.
Johns River, Fla, tells the following story:
A few DAYS since friend and neighbor of
mine, Capt. Samuel Somers, with gun and dog,
stroled ont, not far from his residence, for
hunt. His dog pretty soon started, and after
following for while he discovered two half
grown tigers up tree, which he shot and kill
ed. Then looking a little farther on he per-
ceived the old tigress also up a tree. To use
his own expression, "she looked like a cow
Being hunter of undaunted spirit, he advanc
ed until the huge creature began crOuchng
with cleaning eyes and barred teeth, preparing
10 make a spring on him. At this critical mo-
ment lie discharged his piece, wOundiug her
badly in the head She began hurried des-
cent, utteripg all the while the most awful and
terrific screams he ever heard. When within
few feet of the ground, he lodged the con-
tents of a second barrel in her back, which
ended her further movements. He describes
her screams as resembling those of terrified
woman, only much louder and shriller He
said they caused his hair to stand on end.
Having dispatched her, he followed his dog,
who was all this time chasing the old male
tiger. He came in sight of him several times,
but owing to some disadvantageou5 circum-
stances he would not shoot, fearing he would
only wound him, and in that case he knew
lie would lose his dog, and perhaps his own
life He describes him as being much larger
than the tigress. AS night was fast setting in,
he went home and returned in the morning to
take off the skins of the slain.
Beside them was the bed of the old tiger
where he had spent the night with his dead
family.
The tigress measured eleven feet six inches
from the eud of her tai to the tip of her nose,
aud it is supposed would have weighed from
three to four hundred pounds.
