WHAT WILL THE SOUTH Do? ?-The following
is an extract from letter by the Hon. John Sill
dell, of Louisiana, which lately appeared in the
Washington Union:
"Should Fremont be elected, shall be salts.
fed that majority of the people of the free
States entertain towards US feelings that render
the idea of living with them on terms of equal
ity hopeless. The issue presented by his NOM
ination, the autecedents OF those who brought
him forward, the opinions and purposes avowed
by every speaker at every meeting of his party,
are such that no Southern man would dare to
incur the infany and odium of accepting Office
under him. The whole machinery of goverC-
ment in the Southern States must be stopped,
unless Northern men can be found bold enough
to come among US and undertake the collection
of the revenue, and the execution Of The laws Of
government from which We shall be practically
excluded.
Each aggression on our rights, if submitted
to, will lead 10 new and more aggravated al
tacks, and we shall, after protracted struggle,
at last be obliged to choose between the alter
natives of unqualified vassalage or separation.
But in such struggle, not only will the proud
spirit that now animates US have been impaired,
but we will have lost allies that an earlier, open
resistance would have rallied to our support,
do not hesitate to declare that if Fremont be
elected, the Union cannot and ought not to be
preserved. What particular course should DO
pursued, am not now prepared to say. 10 so
fearful contingency should be unwilling to
act without some definite manifestation of lhe
will of nv State. This can. only be given
through the legislature, or, if time allowed, by
convention of the people, called by the legis-
lature. Whatever be the mandate of Louisiana,
shall be prepared to carry it out in letter and
in spirit" j..

HEALTH FOB CHILDREN.

There are as many children die in cities as in
the country, and half the Children born do not
reach ten years. Such a.result could never have
been intended by the wise and kind Maker of
us all. A different result must be brought about,
by the exercise Of the reason which is implanted
in all parents and which, if properly cultivated
and practised in the lights Of our time, would
soon work wonderful change in infantile NOR
tality. a't

mattresses of straw or shuc4sr Of corn.

side; his attendants followed, and raising their
torches, discovered, at the margin of the foun.
tain, the body of man extended on his back,
and wetering in his blood. The CHASTITY face
was turned upwards, and as the glare of the
torches fell upon it, an exclamation of horror
fell from the lips af all present, and Helen lean
ing forward, recognized her victim, with a thrill
of agony which caused all the blood to thrill in
her veins, and pulses to stand still. At that one
glance, the whole truth flashed upon her with
terrible clearness, until she comprehended, when
too late, the fatal error into which her blind and
mistaken suspicious had plunged her. There
lay her son her only child-her beloved DEM
etri!-bathed in the blood that welled forth
from the death wound which her murderous
hand had inflicted!
He it was, then, whose boyish passion had
been reciprocated by her young attendant; he
it was for whom Anastatia had devised the love
meeting, which had that morning changed her
own jealous fears into dreadful certainties He
it was, oh, God upon whom her imaginary
wrongs had just been 80 barbarously avenged!

Why? Does suspicion ever pause to reason or

dark shadows it is said to be . All this passed
through her mind, with the rapidly of lightning,
as that one awful glance revealed to her the eY-
tent of her crime. No words escaped her lips;
but as if struck by thunderbolt, she fell heavi-
ly forward, and lay PROSTATE, and to all appear
ance lifeless, by the side of the beloved son
whose life had fallen sacrifice to the rash and
ungovernable suspicious Of the jealous wife,
The first use that Helen made of her return
ing faculties was to cast herself at the feet of
her husband, and make a full confession of the
feelings which had driven her to commit so des-
pcrato deed, imploring death ut his hands in
expi7iion of her crime. But DEATH which would
have terminated her earthly tormeuts, was q
boon which the exasperaled husband was re-
solved not 10 grant her.

notice her agitation.
An hour before sunset, Anastatia WAS sum-

order to remain near her, and finish some en-

ina, who gave US piece of information in re-
gard to ascertaining the age of q horse, after
he or she has passed the ninth year, which was
new to US, and will be, we are sure, to most Of
our readers. 1t is this: after the horse is nine
years old, wrinkle comes on the eyelid at the
upper corner of the lower lid, and every year
thereafter he has one we'll defined wrinkle for
esch year over nine. If, for instance, a horse
has three wrinkles, he is twelve; if four, he ID
thirteen Add tho number of wrinkles to nine,
and you will always get it. So says the gen.
tleman; and he is confident it will never fail.
AS good many people have horses over nine,
it is easily tried. If true, the horse dentist may
give up his trade.-Southern Planter.
