How Women are Won.

R. II. Dana, in his great argument in
the Boston Dalton divorce case, thus opens
the mysterious manner of winning women
by courtship:
Men well know it is necessary to keep up
a little form !; no woman is ever won un-
sought; there is form to be gone through
with, there must be a parley, summons /;
she never surrenders in terms. What man
that offers himself to woman gets a cate
gorical answer? 1t is silence, the quiet
gradual yielding. The word is not uttered,
C is not the nature of woman to utter the
word If man writes plain and square
ietter-Will you marry me? a woman won t
write baek-Yes; that is if she is a woman;
she win admit. perhaps, she Is willing he
should be her friend and call upon her, and
then the wings of friendship unfolded,
gradually, she knows Eot when or how he
comes to be her lover, and presently he is
accepted, though perhaps the word eyes"
has never been uttered categorically.

The Enrlish NobiIitv.

Mrs. Sarah Whitman, the Providence po-
etess was at the second Handel festival, and
saw the Queen and royal family. She
writes thus !:
1.-The Queens balcony became, on the
entrance of her majesty, the cynosure OF
all eyes. Thousands of opera glasses were
audaciously turned in that direction. My
own glass brought the royal party startlingly
near. The Queen sat In front of the ball
cony, between the Princess Royal and the
young Princess Alice. Behind her was the
grand Duke Maximilian, Prince Albert,
and the Prince of Prussia, aa amiable. un-
sophisticated and somewhat yerdant look

siS with land and head. The Princess AIice
spoke often with her falheE and her leyer.

the latter, looked almost beautiful from its

ssmerry England" the air regal, nor yet the
air noble; nor was l IN this disappointed.
Her large, istless, yet not uncomely fea-
lures, betrayed no traces of royal descent
or noble lineage. She looked matronly,
sensible and sleepy. Once or twice saw
her yawn weariiy behind her Grape fan, but
her eunui had not that character of aristo-
cratic indifference for which the English are
so noted on the continent.
''In the crowded galleries and vast acres
of the palace were assembled much of the
wealth, fashion, talent and noble blood of
the realm; but missed that peculiar pa
trician style of beauty that I had looked
for in the English aristocrscy. missed
something of the native dignity. '' the un-
bought grace of life,'' which should be the

Moral Influences of a Good Horse.


The Northern AdUocate, in recommend
ing good horses 10 travelling Methodist
preachers, says:
If one watches the evident emotions of the
rider of fine horse, his first impression viii
be that the horse is the great fosterer of pride.
See how the man glances over the outlines
of the beast. and then looks around as if TO

glish lady at St. Helena could never appre-
ciate Napoleon's personnel, seeing him near
the tall aristocratic Sir Hudson Lowe, until
she saw him mounted. Then she felt that
he was the Emperor.
A fine horse promotes cheerful, elastic
spirits. Willis says that of all exercises for
eonsumptives and invalids, he has found
horseback-riding far best, but adds, ssHe
must have good horse, and olcn his horse. -
Then the noble animal sends sort of mag
netic, inspiring sympathy through every
nerve of his feeble rider. We have seen q
trembling man of more than eighty years,
helped into the saddle, suddenly resuming
the life and bearing of his youth, and his
kind and noble steed stepped proudly under

God appointed the horse as one of the minor
comforts of the itinerant The lack of a
horse is an uncomfortable item of a station.
It is also TO be noticed, that our grand old
pioneers, Ashbury, Lee, Garrettson and
Cartwright, always make it point TO be
well-mounted.

Nature and Matrimony.

To decide against marriage is first to tram

Miss Sedgwick's experience with girls must
have taught her that hat band is charged

bass voice is wonderful music, and that the
vision of pair of spurs is more charming
than all the landscapes in Lenox, to COM

From the Guyandotte (Va) Unicnist, July D.
The Free Labor Movement in Vir-
ginia---El Thayer Addressing the
Land Owners.
At a large and respectable meeting OF the
citizens of Guyandotte and vicinity, held
at the Town Hall according to previous no.
tice, on Tuesday, July 21st, 1857, Mr.:
a. J. keenan, was appointed President, and
DIR. T. c. Burlington, Secretary.
The President explained the object of the
meeting. and introduced Eli Thayer, OF
Mass, President of the Homestead Aid
Society, who, in brief and eminently prac-
tical speech, exhibited the objects of that
Society.
Whereupon, on motion, the Chair ap-
pointed J. G. Wheeler, S. NJ. Russell, and
DR.. T. G.. Burlington committee to draft a
preamble and resolutions, expressing the
sense of the meeting on the subject dis
cussed in Mr.. Thayer's speech.
The committee appointed to prepare a
preamble and resolutions expressing the
sense of the meeting on the subject dis
cussed in Thayer's speech, submitted the
following:
"WHEREAs, The Legislature of New York has
chartered company that design, We have been
informed by Eli Thayer, the president of that
company, purchasing land In Virginia, and set

enterprising agriculturists, mechanics and mi
uers and
WHEREAS, a few leading men, Influenced we
believe by wrong conception of the object of this
enterprise, have sought TO array the citizens OF
the State against Mr.. Thayer and his company,
which We, as at present advised, believe TO be an
act of injustice towards them calculated to mitate
against the interest of Western Virginia, and give
to citizens of other states incorrect impression
of the opinions of the people of this State that
subject, Therefore,
ResoIUed, That We are in favor of and will en-
courage every wellfounded enterprise that has for
its object the cultivation of the wild and uncult
waited portions OF Western Virginia, the develop
ment of mineral resources, the estabiIshne Mt
of manufactures, or anything else that tends in
any manner to make an Independent, self-reli-
ant people.
ResoE1ed, That We will welcome to our State
the good, abiding citizens of any and all the
other States of the Union the world, who
may choose cast in tieir lot with Us, to aid US
In making Western Virginia of the wealthiest
sections in the Union, and raising the Old Domin-

ADDRESS OF MR.. ELI THArER.

This gentleman addressed the citizens of
Guyandotte on the subject of settling an
organized emigration in Virginia, of which
we have heard so much of late. As many
of our readers are no doubt anxious to
know for themselves the objects and designs
of this company, we attended and prepared
an imperfect abstract of his remarks for
their perusal, which, however, does not do
Mr.. Thayer justice, as he uses more argu-
ment in the same length of time than any
speaker We ever attempted to follow.
He said it was not his purpose to address
them on metaphysics, religion or politics,
but their mutual wants. He represented the
Homestead Aid Society, and they could
command capital, and influence the concen-
tration of skilful operators, while in Cabell
and Wayne counties he found a country
more capable of making It's population inde-
pendent of all other sections than any other
portion of the country he had noticed. He
found here fine agricultural districts unoc-
cupied, rich mineral region undeveloped,
and the people importing from other States
their agricultural implements and furniture,
when the wood and the iron in its crude
state, and the coal for fuel, Is here in abun-
dance. In Massachusetts, an immense sum
Is produced from the workshops and manu-
factories, but this is not all clear profit
from it must be deducted the cost of the
raw material, which generally has to be

country to have but few landhollers. Eng

when she had more hndholders under the

few.

buying up fictitious land-titles by the Kan

Large Entries of Public Lands---Free
Labor Movement in Missouri.


The sales of public lands in the Spring
field district within the last SO days, have
reached 100000 acres-entered almost ex-
clusively by persons from the free States
Ohio and Pennsylvania being represented
among the purchasers. This amount of
entries exceeds that of the three previous
years at the Springfield Office! Our readers
will recollect that the Land Register at War
saw, published in this paper, some weeks
ago, that 500, 900 acres had been entered in
that district within about the same length
of time and that the Office was in conse-
quenee closed until further notice. About
two thousand acres per day are being enter.
ed in the Jackson district. AT Palmyra
there are only, we are informed, about 50,
900 acres of government land now subject
to entry
We suppose the Republican, in view of
the facts exhibited in the land sales cited
above, win still insult the common sense of
the people of the State and city by denying
and ridicuIing the immense benefits which
are daily resulting to US all, from the free la
Dor movement. With all its pampered ven
ON against the north and northern men, we
are glad to know that its efforts are power
less for evil-if we accept only its triumph
in defeating the central route for the over

When that model Of a Roman Emipe

When that model of Roman Emperor,
who has always passed in history under the
nickname of Carraccalla, put his colleague
aud brother Geta to death, he requested Pa
pinian to write him out such defence of the
deed as it might be proper for him to read
before the Senate. The old juTist answered.
in the noblest spirit of justice, that it was a
great deal easier TO commit murder than TO
justify it; and though the answer cost him his
life ultimately, the world has never ceased
to admire the boldness no less than the truth
of the reply.

4 DUEL SETTLED BY CAsH.-A French
man was to fight duel with an American:
the conditions were that but one shot should
be exchanged, and that the precedence should
90 by lot. The Frenchman got the first
chance, but failed to hit his adversary. As
the Yankee lifted his weapon, the other call
ed out: s'Hold, viii buy your shotl''-
All were astonished at this, but his opponent
answered, ''What viii you give?' Five
hundred poundsl'' ''Nonsenser, cried the
Yankee, taking aim again. 81 ana good
marksman; you set too low a value upon
yourselfl'' 'sYou estimate me at too high
price; but viii give thousand pounds!"
