AMI SLAVERY AND ACCOUNTABILITY bes,
evidence Of the unsouudness OF mind of the
anti slavery fanatics Is the precipitation with
which they embrace every new deluson. Thus
We have seen the principal anti. slavery organ
in this city advocating alternately Fourierism,
spiritualism tectotalism, womans rights. and
free love; last Of all II has started the new aud
startling doctrine Of assassination As q political
method. In this last tour de forc II IL followed
by the leading apostles Of antislsvery In New
England.
In this city the demonstration In honor OF
Orslnl was very petty affair, confined to few
foreigners; In Boston, as we perceive by the
report published In polyglot fashion Ia four
languages In the Boston C5urvr the meeting TO
commemorate the msrtyrdom Of the assassins
Of the Rue Lepelletler was an imposing cere
mony, pretty much like the great demonstra
tions against the extension OF negro slavery
The principal native participants In the per
Torrance were leading apostles Of the anti
slavery creed. William Lloyd Garrison was TO
have presided, but was prevented by Unforeseen
circumstances. Thus we see that the doctrines
of political assassination and anti slavery go
hand In hand
Gerrit Smith would doubtless have taken
part In some demonstration of the kind but
that be happens TO be engaged at the present
moment In demonstrating the lnutlllty and
sbsurdity Of the Christian doctrine Of eternal
dsmnation; while other popular champions Of
the school are equally busy In founding new
sects Of Mormons under the sweet sounding title

3Twas evening in Springtinr, saw her beside
The green messy bank, where the cool waters
glide;
She was gathering the flowers that grew by the
way,
Iro form for her Lover, delicious boquet.
She was singing this song--noi thinking that near
IA listncr was waiting her music to hear.
\ In my garland of flowers, the richest that bloom
with the humblest, shall mingle their sweetest
perfume;
|The Ivy, and Cowslip, and sweet Byzantine,
With the princey OF Roses, their tendrils shai
twine.
Yea, the meekest, and fi.ircst, shall their beau!
combine,
ITO render more pleasing, this garland OF mine
lin nv wreath have mingled the high and the
low;
Some cued for their fragrance, and some ioi
their show.
with thy meek flowers beneath thy proud ones
above,
|Go speak symbolic, to the one whom love;
|Go tell him my garland-though prond of his
birth
The truest Of hearts, are the lowly of earth.

MARRIAGE.

1t is the happiest and most virtuous
state of society, in which the husband
and wife set out early together, make
their property together, and with perfect
sympathy of soul graduate all their ex-
penses, plans, calculations, and desires,
with reference to their present means,
and to their future and common interests.
Nothing delights me more than to enter
the neat little tenement of the young
couple, who within perhaps two or three
years, without any resources but their
own knowledge or industry, have joined
heart and hand, and engaged to share the
responsibilities, duties, interests, trials
and pleasures of life. The industrious
wife is chcerfully employing her own
hands in domestic duties, putting her
house in order, or mending her husbands
clothes, or preparing the dinner, whilst,
perhaps, the little darling sits prattling
upon the floor, or lies sleeping in the cra-
dle-and everything seems preparing to
welcome the happiest of husbands and
the best of fathers, when he shall come
from his toll to enjoy the sweets of his
little paradise. This is true domestic
pleasure, the "only bliss that survived
the fall" Health, contcntment,. love,
abundance and bright prospects are oil
here.
But ii has become a prevalent sentl-
ment, that a man must acquire his for
tune before he marries--that sthe wife
must have no sympathy, no share with
him in the persuit of it, in which most of
the pleasure truly consists and the
young married people must set out with
as large and expensive an establishment
as is becoming those who have been we'd
ded for twenty years. This is very un-
happy. 1t fills the community with
bachelors, who are waiting to make their
fortune, endangering virtue and promo
ting vice-it destroys the true economy
and design of the domestic institution,
and it promotes idleness and inefficiency
among females, who are expecting TO be
taken up by fortune, and passively sus-
tanned, without any care or concern on
their part-and thus many wife be-
comes, as gentleman one remarked, not
a "help-meet' but "help-eat. =

4 IVoman's Lorc.-A laughing sun
beam, whose radiant memory gilds life's
darkest hour with perfect halo of gol-
den glory. A twinkling star, whose
fadeless lustre gathers new beauty amid
the rayless gloom of mans bereavment |!
4 "perfect peace" whose enjoyment en-
tails no safety, and whose possession be-
gets no fatigue A paradise, whose
whose beauty will still flourish in immor-
tai youth mhurt amid the wreck of mans
base ingratitude Oh, who would live
without woman's love-the guiding
star of that destiny it is her mission to
create! Tell me, thou flashing votary
in life's whirling waltz, did you ever
image the twilight morn of such an hour 7
Did any impress of such JOY ever gild
your darksome path, then vanish into
blank obscurity : The ignorance ofy your
own imbecility may have started into
life and light some such untold ioy-yet
it faded quickly, when the scorching rays
of selfishness fell upon its scanty verdure.
For the qualification of foolish vanity,
you may have darkened your fair name
and stained your soul with the crime Of
deceplion-only to boast of a" woman's
love-" You may stand fair with the
world whose hollow batteries will mock
the misery of your own soul as you face
her you wronged in judgement. You
may gain every triumph morbid fancy
can picture-gloat with savage ferocity
DER the downfall of trust betrayed, but
God will remember you for it with q
Vengeance.
If there is one person more than an
other that deserves the seorn Of every
honest man, ir is he who will wantonly
trifc with a womans confdence--who
allures only to deceive--who caresses
ouly to wound in the dearest. There is
no excuse, however plausible, that will
pallate, much less reiDstate, such one
in the estimation of those whose good
opinions are worth strivingsior; hossnny
one, guilty of such couduct, can after
wards face, the woman he has wronged
without blnsh, is more than our deca'
logue of extras gives any account Of.

Hung the night by Sabbath blest,
Many head IN slumbers pillowed,
Dreamed not of broken rest
Hark! it is a cry Of terror,
Bidding them awake-arise
See the nimes, like frightened demons,
Leaping madly to the skies.
Uark the solemn bells are telling,
While the fearful screams Of "Fire,
Rise up to the dark k'ning heaven,
As the flames leap higher, higher
Far away the red light glimmers,
As the dark smokc glooms the sky
Anxious eyes are gazing on them,
Anxious hearts are beating high.
Look the demon slrehglh lhcrcaSes'
Wilder grow the flames, and higher;
And tha watchers in the distance,
Shuddering, gaze upon the fire
Lock once mere, abGve the dlscord,
See--what beacon light is there
Shining like star above them,
Der eartL's deatening dim and glare.
'Tis the cross, that light from heaven,
Given long ago to men
Pointing up. where hearts of sorrow,
Wake not to the grief again.
Muumer, look upon the emblem,
Through thy griels, and binding tears
Ger earth's dea!ening din and clanirr,

Come all who are heavy laded,
Come and He will give You rest.

Pork-A Chemical Tieao Of n.-Dr.
Wienlann, of Cambridge, just before he
sailed in the Vanderbilt, on visit to his
native county, Wurtemburg, left PAM
phlet in which is an expose of the terri
bic dangers which attend the use of pork
as diet. The note of warning, indeed,
has often been raised, and still thousands
of pounds of measly pork are eaten week
ly. The immense quantity of pork, most
foully fed, which is received from the
West is especially subject to measles or
tape-worm and the allied troops in the
Crimea suffered greatly, in consequence
of the article which was supplied them.
The measles in pork are nothing but
the larrae of the common Inenia soli-
am," which, when taken into the human
stomach, develope into the full grown
tape-worm, and reach sometimes length
of twenty feet. AS these larrae seldom
lose vitality in the cooking of pork, they
are eaten unconsciously in large quanti-
ties. Butchers, says DR.. Weinland, sell
measly pork with full cognizance Of its
condition, and should be restrained from
doing so by legal enactments.

amusing Anecdote.-Daniel Webster
had an anecdote of old Father Searl, the
minis of his boyhood, which can't be lost.
1t was customary then to wear buck-skin
breeches in cool weather. One Sunday
morning in the autumn, Father Searl
brought bis breeches down from the gar
ret; but the wasps had taken possession
during the summer, and were having a
nice time of it in them. BY dint of ef-
fort he got out the intruders, and dressed
for meeting. But while reading the
Scriptures to the congregation, he felt a
dagger from one of the enraged small
WASTED fellows, and jumped around the
pulpit, slapping his thighs. But the more
be slapped and danced the more they
stung. The people thought him crazy |;
but he explained the matter by saying
" Brethren, don't be alarmed; the scord
of the Lord is in my mouth, bit the deuil
is in my breeches" Webster always
told it with great glce to the ministers.
