A PERFECT DEFINITION tie
Committee of the French Academy Dio-
tionary, Cuvier, the celebrated naturalist
came one day into the room where they
were holding session, "Glad to see
you, Mr.. Cuvier," said one of the forty

We think quite satisfactory, but upon
which we should like to have your opin-
ion: We have been defining the word
crab, and we have explained it thus:
"Crab, small red fish, which walks
backwards" Perfect, gentlemen, said
Cuvier, "only, if you will give me leave.

not red-and does not walk backwa F!
With these exceptions, your definition is

to harden on the woodwork in few DAYS:

To make the above wash of pleasant

much more durable than common white

The LAW OF THE FINGER RINa.-f q
gentleman wants wife, he wears ring
on the first finger of the left hand; if he
is engaged, he wears it on the second
finger: if married, on the third; and on
the fourth if he never intends to get mar
ried. When lady is not engaged, she
wears diamond ring on her first finger ;
if engaged, on the second; if married, on
the third; and on the fourth ifshe intends
to be maid. When a gentleman pre-
sent fan, flower or trinkets to lady
with the left hand, this, on his part, is an
overture of regard; and should she
receive it with the left hand, it is consid-
cred as an acceptance of his esteem; but
if with the right hand, it is . refusal Of
the offer. Thus by few simple tokens.
explained by rule, the passion Of love is
expressed. ...

A REQUIEM IN THE NORTH.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.

Speed swifter Night wild Northern Night
Whose feet the Arctic Islands know.
When stitfening breakers, sharp and white,
Gird the complaining shores of snow;
Send all thy winds to sweep the world,
And howl in mountain passes far,
And hang thy banners red and cold,
Against the shield of every STAR
For what have to do with morn,
Or Summers glory in the wales
With the blithe ring of the forest-horn,
Or beckoning CLEAN Of snowy sails !
Art thou not gone, in whose blue eye
The feeting summer dawned to Inc,
Gone like the echo of sigh, ...
Beside the loud resounding sea?
Oh brief that time of song and flowers,
Which blest through thee the Northern Land
l pine amidst its leadess bowers,
And on the bleak and lonely strand;
The forest walls the starry bloom
Which yet shall rare its shadowy floor,
But down my spirits isles of gloom,
Thy love shall blossom nevermore
And never more shall battled pines
Their solemn triumph sound for me,
Nor morning fringe the mountain lines,
Nor sunset flush the hoary sea
But Night and Winter fill the sky,
And load with f lost the shivering air,
Till every gust that huriies by
Chimes wilder with my own despair.
The leaden twilight, cold and long,
Is slowly settling o'cr the wave
No wandering blast awakeS a song
In naked boughs above thy grave;
The frozen air is still and dark;
The numb earth lies in icy rest
And all is dead save this one spark
Of burning grief within my breast.
Life's darkened orb shall wheel no more
To Loves rejoicing summer back;
Ny spirit walks a wintry shore,
With not star to light its track;
Speed swiiter, Night! thy gloom and frost
Are free TO spoil and rayage here;
This last wild requiem for the lost
lpour in thy unheeding ear. . ... ..

the following article of news from Paris:
One morning last week every news

by the advice of her paramour, whois
supposed to have been her lover ever
since she first attended his confessional,
five years ago, only waited until her COM

from the hands of her realations into her
own. to take this extraordinary and decid-

.... From the New Haven Register
The Citizenship of Blacks.

A writer in the Courier is very indig
nant at Chief Justice Taney, of the U
s. Supreme Court, for deciding that the
language "ws THE PEOPLE" in the Con
stitution of the United States does not in
clude the slave population, as we'll as the
withstand says if that is so, it follows
that there are human "chattels" under
our system. Before condemning Judge
Taney so unceremoniously, it may be well
to look and see what the highest courts
in Connecticut have decided on the same
subject. In the case of Bullock VS.. Jack
son, in the 18th Connecticut Reports,
Chief Justice Williams said: .
"When the preamble of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, speaks Of WE
THE PEOPLE, to secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and posterity, &C., it
cannot be seriously contended that it in
cluded that class Of people called Slaves
and the term People, in the bill of rights,
must have been used in a similar sense"
Then as to the human ''chattels," and
the right of property of man in man.
The same court says in the East Hartford
case, 9th of Connecticut, where the ques-
ton was, as to the legal condition of Flora,
colored woman, as follows:
PETERS, Judge-"Upon the death of
her master, Flora not being specifically
devised, was transferred to the defend
ants, and being CHATrEL, vested in
them. .
WILLIAMS, Judge-"Upon the death Of
Elisha Patkin, this slave did not vest in
the heirs, but being personal property, was
assets in the hands of the Executor"
This was not the language of outside
but Of our own Judges, in
deciding a case upon our own laws
Nor was it in the ancient times, but COM
paratively Of modern date; and three of
the members of the court who took part
in the first case referred to, Judge Will
liams, Bissell and Waite, are yet living.
