s Hint foC .Iic Ladies'.

An exchange paper has 8 BIT Of advice to
young ladies, setting forth how they may
know whether a young gallant is really
"courtng' them, or only paying them polite
attentions. The confounling the one with
| the ether has been the source of very much
trouble.
\ young man admires very pretty girl
and must manifestit. IIa can't help doing
50 for tho life Of him. The Young lady has
tender heart, reaching out for something
to cling to. She sees The admiration; is
aattered begins soon to love; expects some
tender ayowaI and perhaps gets SO far rs TO
decide tha. She will choose white silk un.
der that cause, etc" at the very moment
that gallant she half loves is popping the
question to another damsel ten miles Oft.
Now the lihcuiy lies in not understand
lnc .le difference between polite attention"
anJ the tender manifestations Of love. Ad-
mlrus a woman and wishing 10 make q
wife Of her, are not always the same thing,
and therefore it is necessary that the damsol
should be on the alert to discover to which
class tie attention paid by fasLipoaJle you8s
men be.ong.

loud free and hearty tones; if he knows
precisely where 10 put his hands; stares you
straight in the eyes; if he eats hartIy in your
presence if he fails to talk very kindly 10
your mother; if in Short he seezes when
you are singing, criticises your curIs, and
fails o be foolish every hour, then don't fall
in love with him for the world. lie only
admres you, let him say wha: he will to the
contrary.
On the other hand, if lio is merry with
everybody else, and quiet with you; ii he
be anxious 10 see your dear person wrap
ped up when you 20 out into the cold; if he
talks very low, and never looks you steadily
in the eye. If he romps with your sister,
SIGH like pair Of bellows, looks solemn
when you are addressed by another gentle
man, and in fact is the most still, awkward,
stupid, yet en7ious Of all your male friends,
YOU may 20 ahead, and mako the poor fel
low happy.
Young ladies keep your hearts in a case
of good leather, or some other tough sub
stance, until the right one is found without
doubt, after which you can 60 on and
love, court and be married.
We consider this advice so sensible, that
although it /. open to the charge Of blunt
ness, we have no hesitation in pressing it up
on the attention Of our lady realers.-Su~.

from the seeds Of species OF upas tree
Tho story that there Is a poisoned valley is
trge Such Is the name Of district the
atmosphere Of which produces death. This
effect Is not occa,ioned by the upas tree, but
bv an e,tinct volcano near Batar, called
Cueya Upas. From the old crater and the

such :. often estjnguishes Life in this coun-

HON. JAMES Il. HALE.

We this week place at the head OF our
paper, with the able State licked recently
nominated, the name Of Hon. JAS. I.
HALE as our choice for Congress. We
have taken occasion heretofore TO avOw our
preference for that gentleman for other
posts, and it is therefore not necessary to
say ought respecting him further than that
we believe him to be, most emphatically,
the best man in the district to represent us
in Congress. The evils predicted by the
illustrious Clay as the result of the present
tariff are coming upon the working classes
and others of moderate means with fearful
strides, and tie end IS not get. Labor is
not only going down to that standard which
Mr.. Buchanan said would be 4 blessing to
this country, but employment, even at redu-
ced wages, is no longer to be had for more
remedy-but that remedy will never be OBJ
tanned so long as we send such men as AL
lison White-men who regard party and
devotion to those in power more than coun-
try-to Congress. For our part, We go for
protection to American labor, if necessary
L" Protection for the sake Of Protection"
and with Thomas Jefferson have often
wished that a sea of fire divided us from
Europe, with its aristocracy and its pauper
labor Let the farmer, the mechanic, the
laborer, and all others, before the excitement
of an election comes on, reflect on the pres
ent condition of affairs and ask themselves
whether British cloths and cassimeres,
British cotton fabrics, British hardware,
British iron, British water pipes, British
coal, and thousands of other things We
ought to make ourselves, for all which we
have sent them an untold amount of Cal
ifornia gold, has not had something, or per-
haps all, to do with this extraordinary state
of things?
