SWEET Wafer Tenn, Sept. 21st, 1857.
Aesss Editors:-I see great many Communica-
tOns sent to you, suggesting the names of leading
democrats for different Offices to be SLED by the
next Legislature and as we believe ii right for all to
speak out in favor of their choice let old Monroe
present the name Of Hon. George W. Rowles, as
suitable person to do honor to the Speakers chair of
the next house of Representative There is no man
in the great State of Tennessee better qualified to
discharge the duties of that position and the honor
could not be conferred on one that has more claims
than he has; for he has, in all the great political
battles, been in the thickest of the ght-and like
the gallant Pillow, has been worse abused than most
any man.
And as for o. S. Senator, old Monroe would like
to her gallant son, Col G. c. Torbit, elected to
fill one of the vacancies that will be filed by the
next Legislature man more worthy and truer
is to be found in the State But the Democracy Of
Monroe are in favor of Conventions, aud who ever
the sixty democratic members may select, they will
be satisfied She sends two members of the same
faith who not for but for principles. There
are several Offices of honor and profit to be filed by
he Legislature, and many applicants for them. Let
those who are unsuccessful be satisfied; for all can
not be elected. OLD MONROE.

A SINGULAR HABIT OF THE BEE.

The HiHgham Journal states that during the late
warm weather provision store in that town has
been daily visited by large number of honey bees,
hey apparently being attracted thther by the fruits
and other sweets kept for sale. Upon these they
would alight, and after having satisfied their ap-
petites with their saccharine juices it noticed
that they most generally betook themselves to the
windows of the shop, where they would commence
wholesale slaughter of the flies there congregated
in vast numbers. The Journal adds
This singular proceeding upon the part of the
bees aroused the curiosity of some persons in the
store, who watched them to see what would come of
such an unheard of procedure. Their surprise may
be easily imagined when inform our readers that
they witnessed some of the most scientific cutting
aud carving by the bees which they ever beheld-
These little insects displayed much Skill dexteri-
y and address in dssecting the bodies of their vic
Tins, as TO excite their wonder and admiration
much so as to even awaken the envy of the most
practced and scientific butcher, and completely put
his most finished and artistic efforts in similar line
to fault. First the bee would deprive the dead fly
of its wings then of its legs and then of its head
which would drop off about quickly and easily as
frequently happens 10 the official heads of Gus
tom House Offices. After having deprived the fly of
all his extremities, the bee would then take the
naming portion of its body in its mouth and fly
away. What disposition they finally make of their
victims we are at a loss to conjecture. These in
sects a strange sort of a community. Whether
this practice is one of their fixed OF peculiar nstitu
tiOns, are utterly unable to decide.

In business point Of view it is all important
Men have been accustomed to repose confidence in
the worlds good opinion. 1t is, in fact part and
parcel OF their capital-their stock in trade. The
customs and usages Of society have given them this
endorsement and their operations, financial and
otherwise, predicated thereon. How sacred then Is
confidence, and how circumspect, how scrupulouslv
cautious should persons be to preserve it. not only
with theirneghbors but for themselves? An irueD8o

"THR CRISIS. ("

The Louisville Democrat, commenting on the
pressure in the money market, says: The northern

the present crisis in money matters. The failures
that taking place daily have created distrust

struggle on the part Of the stockholders to keep
from sinking; while the bond-hoders may find
profit in getting hold of the roads. This war of
interests will have to settle down before there will
be any steadiness in securities, or any safety in
dealing in them. The Trust Company fell, it is
said, by dealing in these securities; and there Is
no telling how far a failure of one large concern
may reach. Generally, it is admitted that capital

The worst feature in such crisis is, the appreben

ignorant of what is coming as men are of changes

financial wiseacres, full Of therefores and where

give US rule to determine where they will stop

fear the worst, although the danger is slight, or
there IS no danger at ALL if they did but know it.

SECRET coURTsHIP.
FROM THE FRENCH BY BERANeER.


A blind mother sits in her cottage, beside her
pretty daughter, and cautions her against love,
WHILE all the time, amatory scene is going or be-
tweeL the girl and the very lover whom the old dame
breads.
Daughter, while you turn you wheel
Listen TO the words l say;
Colin has eontrived to steal
Your unthinking heart away.
OF his fawning voice beware,
You are all the blind ones care,
And mark your signs Whene'er
0uryoung neighbours name is heard.
Collins tongue is false though winning
Hist the window is unbarred
All I! Lizette, you are not spinning
The room is close and warm, you say;
But, my daughter, do not peep
Through the easement night and day,
Colin there his watch doth keep.
Think not mine grumbling tongue;
All! here at my breast you hung;
i, like you, was fair and young,
And know how apt is love
To lead the youthful heart to shining
Hist the door, heard it move!
All, LiZette, you are not spinning
1t is a gust of wind, you say
That hath made the hinges CRATE;
And my poor old growing Tray,
Must you break for that his pate?
All, my child, put faith in me;
Age permits me to foresee
Colin soon will faithless he,
And your love to an aybss
OF grief will be the sad beginning
Bless me sure heard kiss!
All, Lizette, your not spinning!
Twas your little bird. you say,
Gave that tender kiss just now;
Make him cease his trifing, pray,
He will rue it else | VOW.
Love, my girl oft bringeth pain,
Shame and sorrow in his train,
While the false successful swain,
ScOrps the heart he has beguiled
From true virtues path to shining
Hist! hear you move, my child!
All, Lizette, you are not spinning
You wish to take the air you say;
Think you, daughter believe you?
Bid young Colin 90 his way,
Or, at once, as bride receive you!
Let him 60 to the church and there
Show his purpose to be fair;
But, till then, beside my chair
You must work, my girl, nor heed
All his VOWS, so fond and winning;
Tangled in loves web, indeed
