And on what ground does he AK the Senate

Because we have nothing but newspaper &C.
counts" Does Mr. Mason know what "news-
paper accounts are? We will tell him what
they are Newspaper accounts, Mr.. Mason, are
the thoughts end deeds OF theday. They are the
life current Of the public mind. They have in
them, in the journalism of one single day, more
truth, logic, wit, knowledge, eloqueoce and pow
er than can be found in all the prosy journals Of
the Senate for twenty years past Newspaper
accounts, Mr.. Mason, elected you to the Senate,
and you count upon them for your reelection.
Newspapers avail themselves of the wondrous
power OF the telegraph, and through that they
have information on all points far in advance

ment might have had this information, too, had
II sought it with the zeal that the newspapers
have. The declaration Of every shipmaster who
he's been insulted might now be on Ole in the
State Department by simply requesting the
Collectors to take them and send them on.
There is only one other reason why the news
papers are in advance Of the government in
these things, and that is, because the people

years in the possession of such old fogies as
Mr. Mason, despair of obtaining any sympathy
there, and 20 they complain, not to the govern
ment, but to the newspapers when they are
outraged. We hope these things are coming to
an end. We trust Mr.. Buchanan will not heed
the old fogyism of the Senator from Virginia
but will 60 on in the bold and energetic path
be has marked out for his course. Let our citi-
zens be righted abroad; and if Senator Mason
or any other old fogy is still afraid of q fuss,
let him resign, and 60 home and tell his fellow
citizens why be did 30. Our word for it, the
newspaper accounts will give bright picture
of the election of his successor, and of the en-
thusissm of the people in supporting Mr.. Bu-
chanan in an energetic foreign policy. In this
the country wants action, action, action.

A RUSSIAN BABY.

In the life of Russian peasant there is period
anterior to all tunics, mantles, and even sheep
skins, during which they lead kind of mummy

stead of the last stage of their existence for the
Youngest children are always swaddled and rolled

ly put away without risk of getting themselves into
mischief or danger. On entering one of their
houses. an enthusiastic traveller thinks he has
come upon some pagan tribe, having their idols
and penatcs with the heads we'll carved out, and
the rest of the body left in block. He looks curl
ously at one laid up on the SHELF another hung to
the wall OH peg, third slung over one of the
main beams of the roof, and rocked by the mother,
who has the cord looped over her foot "Why
that is child" cries the traveller with a feeling
similar to that experienced treadng upon toad
which was supposed to be stone. "Why, what
else should it be 2" answers the mother. Having
learned so much IL short time, the lnquisltlve
traveller wishes to inform himself about the habits
of the creature; but his curiosity being somewhat
dampencd by the extreme dirt of the little figure,

"Washed?" shrieks the Mortified mother, "wash-
ed what, wash a child! You would kill it." Dis
couraged alike from personal investigation of the
subject, and from inquiry, he turns to the elder
children. When freed from its bandages, the
childs education begins at once and is wholly OF
practical character. He-Or she, for it is the
same with both sexes-makes the first struggles in
life by foundcring in the sand or mud in front of
the house, clad in course, ragged shirt, and no
thing else. Being taught by stern experience to
shun, if possible, the Charybdis of mud, he falls
upon Scylla, in the shape of a lean, long-leggged
pig, which is always prowling about on the chance
of something to eat. Looking upon an occasional
tumble as one of the natural evils of life, and
therefore bearing malice against heavy and
sometimes announcement companions he begins to
initiate the pertinacious diligence with which that
animal takes everything into his mouth, rejecting
only what is absolutely impossible. Having so far
finished his education to distinguish between the
evil and the good in matters of the palate at least,
he is promoted to the privilege of the family meals
of black bread and "stchi," or cabbage soup, and
to the dignity of an old sheep skin

WORDS To TIE UNwIsE OR, THE DoNKEY's
DIcTIONARY.-Advice; Generally consist even
where the givcr is sincere, in recommending some
body else to initiate himself. One man tells
another what he would do if he were in that
others place, instead of telling him what would be
best for him, differently constituted, to do in his
own. Advice is very commonly mere dictation !;
the expression of desire to control other people
incinatiOns and regulate their conduct In review
ing past career, we, in almost every instance,
repent Of having taken the advice took, and re-
jOice for not having taken that which we rejected
Medical advice is of dubious value, and advice
gratis is not worth what it is offered for. Little
dependence can be placed any advice but that
of respectable solicitor Banter Is the polite
and playful expression of contempt. 1t is the con-
versation of gentlemen who dispise another.
Nobody dares to banter judge on the bench, or
anybody that he fears. The objects of banter are
usually those on whom it can, or gentlemen think
that it can, be practiced with IMMUNITY. Banter
tries philosopher, as a reasonable conversation
bores fool. To rid yourself of the plague of
banter You must reort it, but in the retaliation of
banter care should be taken to return insult for
insult in an elegant and pleasant manner.-Punch

A HINT FOR THE LADIES.

An exchange paper has a bit of advice to young
ladies, setting forth how they may know whether
a young gallant is really Counting them or only
paying them polite attentions. The cOnfounding
the one with the other has been the of very
much trouble both before and since the of
Pickwick and Mrs Bardwell
A young man admircs very pretty girl and
must manifest it. He can't help doing so for the
life of him. The young lady has tender heart,
reaching out like tendrilIs for something to cling
to. She the admiration, is fattered; beg ins
to love expects some tender avOwal and perhaps
gets so far as to decide that she will choose
"white silk under the cause, etc" at the very mo-
ment that the gallant she half loves is popping the
question to another damsel ten miles off.
Now the difficulty lies in not understanding the
difference between 'pOlitc attention and the ten
der manifestations of love. Admitting a beautiful
woman and wishing to make a wife of her not
always the same thing, and therefore the damscl
should be on the alert to discover to which class
the attentions paid her by handsome and fashiona-
bic young men belong.
First, then, if young man greets you in loud,
free and hearty tones; if he knows precisely where
to put his hands stares you straight in the eyes,
with his mouth open; if he tells you who made his
coat if he cats heartily in your presence; if he
fails to talk very kindly to, your mother if, in
short, he sneezes when you are singing, criticises
your curs, and fails to be foolish every hour, then
admires you let him say what he may to the con-
trary.
On the other hand, if he is merry with every
body else and quiet with you; if he be anxious to
see that your is sufficiently sweetencd and your
dear person wrapped up when you go out into the
cold; if he talks very low, and never looks you
steadily in the eye; if his cheeks red and
only bushes, it is enough. If he romps with your
sister, sighs like pair of old bellows, looks solemn
phoDy no1J bv han
in fact is the most still. awkward stupid yet envi-
of all your friends, you may 20 ahead, and
make the poor fellow too happy for his skin to
hold him.
Young ladies! keep your hearts in case of
good leather, or some other tough substance until
the right one is found without doubt, after which
you can go on and love, court and be married, and
be happy without the least bit of trouble
We consider this advice so sensible that al
though it is open to the charge of bluntness, We
have no hesitation in pressing it upon the attention
of our lady readers.
