NorE FROM Mr. SrERLtNG.--Mr. Sterling, of
sRdgevle, sends us the note ensuing
4 | hold, that truth. that lovely lass. is, like
beauty. most adorned, when not adorned at all.
q Feeling convinced the above sentiment will
meet with your most cordial approval, will, af-
terpremising by saying, believe you to be among
the most devoted worshipers at her shrine, now
10 business. In perusing your very interesting
paper Of date 4th inst, encountered short
puagraph, which read thus: Effects of Election
epring'-' Mr.. Bates-unsoicited suffrage etc.
Now. the facts legtimately belonging to those
premises are briefly, as follows:
In the first place, Mr.. Bates declined to appear
IN the canvass, in his own words, for the reason
That he did not deem himself qualified TO discuss
the great national questions then at issue before
thc people. Subsequently, at nearly every pre-
cinct, his friend, Hon. r. 7. Miller, excused his
before the dear people, upon the
p' a of his being in attendance upon the District
Court, then in session in Weavervile, in obndi-
ence to a mandate of that Court. On one occasion,
la Lewiston, friend Of Mr.. Bates stated the
Fame thing, as coming from Mr.. Bates. Now,
does this look like remaining quietly at home,
and not soliciting votes? Does it convey the
Impression that be considered himself sufficiently
.wHl known to the citizens of Trinity county,
Without appearing before them as a candidate?
Again, on the Monday following the Saturday
fiqhl on which Judge Miller, Mr. Norcross and
my.elf returned to Wpavervile, after having
completed the canvass, Mr.. Bates left town, went
b. Eauaka Bar, Mouth Canon Creek, (but believe
iuade no set speecbcs,) from there, as bearer of
bis party tickets, he went to Hay Fork, and was
fhcre on election day. The other candidates did
nof visit Hay Fork.
4 My object in making this communication is to
Justice and only justice TO all parties concerned.

WOMEN NATURAL ORATORS. This passage occurs in work recently published abroad on the Art of Public Speaking:
 Women naturally speak better than men They express themselves more easily more viv- idly with more arch simplicity, because they feel more rapidly, more delicately. Hence tl,e loquacity with which they are reproached, ard which is an effect of their constitution and Temperament Hence there are so many wo- men who write in an admirable and remarkable manner, although they have studied neither rhetoric nor logic, and even without knowing grammar or photography. They write as they speak ; they speak pretty much as the birds sing-and their language has the same charm. Add to this the sweetness of their organ, the aexibiity of their voice, and the variety of their intonatons, according to the feeling which an- mates them the nobility of their physignomy which greatly increases the effect of words, the pictnresqueness of their gestures, and in short the gracefulness of their whole exterior thus although not destined for orators by their sex or social position, they have all the power of the orator, and all his success in their sphere, and in the circle of their activity For none know how better to touch, persuade and infu- ence, which, l think, is the end and perfection of eloquence."

A PARAGRAPH FOR BUSINESS MEN-One fact has come to be pretty universally recog- nized, viz : that fortunes are not made u trade without some forms of advertising. There are more fortunes established in a jndicious sys- tem of advertising than in anything else, and knowing exactly how to advertise, IS knowing exactly how to get trade. The public have become accustomed to having the claims of all trading establishments presented to them in some form of advertisement. Modest and tongueless merit will no more be sought for in mercantile establishments than in men. Each man has his own way of expressing himself, and each trade has it's own special wants. There is the fact, of course, and the absolute necessaries of life must be bought somewhere, and in the long run, people will buy where they can buy the cheapest but many a shop could, by good advertising, obtain busue s, in six months which it would otherwise be obliged to wait years for Everything should be adVertlsed-eVery new invention, every tux ury, every discovery ; and it is here that the greatest degree of talent is requisite and man lfest. If man fail here in the advertising department of his business, he will fail in all departments.

THE MOUNT VERNON FUND.

The last number of the Mount Vernon Re cord, speaks of the organization of the ladies of Connecticut in behalf of the fund to pur- chase Mount Vernon, and says:
 Mrs. Mary Boot Goodrich, wife of the well known and popular author, Peter Farley, { Hon. s. G. Goodrich, has, we are pleased to say, accepted the appointment of Vice Re gent for Connecticut.
 This lady is of the family of the late Kirke Boot, Esq, distinguished merchant and man. facturer in Boston, and from her energy of character and generous impulses, combined with excellent practical judgment, we are led to anticipate important practical results from her action in State which has had the honor of giving to the country such patriots as Put nam, Sherman, Huntington, Wolcott, Will jams and Trumbull
 In the same spirit that led the great-hearted and indomitable Putnam to forsake his blow to help win an honored name for his country among the nations of the earth, letthe men of the present generation, imbibing his jealous patriot ism how that they are worthy children of great ancestry, and that they know how to be grate- iul to the hero and statesman, whose genius inspired their fathers to stake | their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor,n to se- cure those invaluable blessings we now enjoy.n

Here lies fool flat on his back, The victim of Cancer Quack; Who lost his money and his life, By plaister, caustic, and by knife. The case was this A pimple rose, Southeast little of his nose; Which daily reddened and grew bigger, As too much drinking gave it vigor A score of gossips soon ensure Full three score different modes of cure: But yet the fulfilled pimple still Defed all petticoated skill When fortune led him to peruse handbill in the weekly news; Signed by six fools of different sorts, All cured of cancers made of warts; Who" recommend with due submission, This cancer monger as magician Fear wing'd his flight to find the quack, And prove his cancer curing kuack; But on his way he found another,- second advertising brother: But as much like him as an owl Is unlike every handsome fowl; Whose fame had raised as broad fog, And of the two the greater hog: Who used still more magic plaister, That sweat forsooth, and cured the faster, This doctor viewed, with moony eyes And scowled up face, the pimple's size; Then christened it in solemn answer, And cried, This pimple's name is CANCER But courage, friend, I see you re pale, My sweating plaisters never fail I've sweated hundred s out with ease, With roots as long as maple trees And never failed in all my trials Behold these samples here in vials Preserved to show my wond' 'rous merits, Just as my liver is-in' spirits.

But still the pimple spread the faster, And swell'd like toad that meets disaster. Thus foil d, the doctor gravely swore, It was a right rose-cancer sore; Then stuck his probe beneath the beard, And show'd them where the leaves appeared And raised the patient dropping spirits, By'praising up the plaister's merits. Quoth he, The roots now scarcely stick 'I'll fetch her out like crab or tick And m ake it rendezvous, next trial, With six more plaques, in my old vial Then purged him pale with jalap drastic, And next applies tn internal caustic. But yet this semblance bright of hell Served but to make the patient yell; And, gnawing on with fiery pace, Devoured one broadside of his face Courage, tis done,' the doctor cried And quick tn incision knife applied: That with three cuts made such hole, Out flew the patients tortured soul

Thirty-one years ago thu first coal came to Philadelp phia--being ten wagon loads hauled over the mountains by George Shoemaker of Pottsville. Very few persons could be induced to purchase it, and most of these were wholly unsu ccessful in their attempts to make it burt. Every ybody considered it a mere stone. Mi Shoemaker was denounced in all quarters as s cheat, and measures were being taken to arrest him for swindling /; but he escaped arrest by leaving the city by circuitous route.
 The most remarkable feature in this extra ordinary speculation was that MT. Shoemaker did not himself know how to make the coal burn, He was therefore unable to convince tho public that it would really ignite. Had he ex- perimented at home or brought with him q grate or stove, in which to kindle successful fire, the exhibition would have no doubt hast ened full ten years the development of the coal business. He reached his home disgusted at the -belligerent temper of our citizens, and heart-sick at the ill success of his adventure His reputation as an honest man was rescued however, by an iron master in Delaware coun- ty, into whose hands some of the repudIatcd mineral fell He tried the coal, caused it to burn freely, with an intense heat, and was so pleased with it that he proclaimed the fact in the newspapers. This led others to try and they also succeeding, the prejudice was remov- ed, and consumption went Oil from this begin ming, until it last year reached the enormous quantity of 3,4T0,862 tons.

BE GENTLEMAN AT HONE There are few families, we imagine, anywhere, in which love is not abused as furnishing the license for i'm poiteness A husband, father or brother will speak harsh words to those he loves best, and those who love him best simply because the security of love and family pride keeps him from getting his head broken. It is a shame that man will speak more impohte at times, to his wife or sister, than he would to any oth- CT female. It is thus that the honest aifec- tions of mans nature prove to be weaker protection to woman in tine family circle than the restraints of society, and that woman is usually indebted for the kinGest poteness of life to those not belonging to her own house. hold. Things out not so to be. Kind words are circulating mediums between true gentle men of society, and nothing can atone for the harsh language and dsrespectful treatment too often indulged in between those bound togetL- CT by Gods own ties of blood, and the still more sacred bonds of conjugal love.

GIVE NO PAIN N-Breathe not senti- ment, say not word, give not an expression of the countenance, that will offend another, or send thrill of pain to his bosom. We are surrounded by sensitive hearts, which word, a look even, might fill to the brim with sor- row. If you are careless of the opinions of others, remember that they are differently con- stituted from yourself. and never, by word or sign, cast shadow on happy heart, or throw aside the smiles of joy that finger on a pleas. ant countenance.
