PARLoR AND kIToHEN.-Taking of the
parlor with its touch-me-not elegance, we
care not for it. Let its magnificence riot in
darkness-its red vevets lie in shrouds-its
pictures gaze dimly through the crape-its
splendid piano stand dumb in its linen cover
its worsted roses and pinks, and gilt flowers
remain unpucked in dark corners--its carpet
bloom unseen. Let the shutters and double
curtains exclude every beautiful ray of light;
while we can have the pleasant, airy, yellow
fioored and unexpected kitchen. This is the
place for enjoyment, the kitchen, with its
bright shelves, and its clean, white tables,
white with time. The kitchen, with its old
easy chair, and broad shining hearth, and
with its cracking fire. We do not mean the
kitcheno of the great house, where the lady
of the house never sets her foot within its
precincts; but the homely and comfortable
kitchen of well-to, do working man, where
wife and the tea-kettle sing together and
the little children prattle round the mother
while her hands set the table for tea. There
may be snow in the cleaning, or sun arrows
lodging in the tops of trees, there may be
city walls about, or blue undaluting hills, it
matters not in such place everything smacks
of true comfort. .ls.

eR The condition of The New York
banks shows the extreme difficulty at the
present time of employing money profitably.
These banks hold about thirty four and
half millions of dollars in specie, and
they were able to increase their loans last
week only two hundred and seventy one
thousand dollars. This fact proves that
there is yet buta a very moderate revival of
business and that there is not safe employ
ment for the large accumulations of capital
in the country.

How Corn Is PRESERVED IN RUssA.-At O
late meeting of the Academy of Sciences,
held in Paris, q letter from NJ de Semohoff-
a Russian landholder-was read, describing
the manner in which corn pits are made in
that country. The pit is dug in dry soil,
and instead of masonry, the sides are harden
ed by long continued exposure to a wood fire.
Before the corn is introduced, the air in the
pit is rarified by burning some straw in 1t, af
ter which the grain is thrown in. packed
close, and the pit tightly enclosed. Corn has
been preserved in such pits for forty years.
Some of our western farmers, who raise large
crops of wheat and corn, should try this me-
thod of preserving grain during years when
there is a great YIELD in order to lay up a
store for season of an inferior yield.-Sei-

WASHINGTON, April SIN the Senate to-
day Mr.. Slidell, of La, delivered long
speech on the resolution authorizing medal
TO be presented to Commodore Paudiug.-
Mr. Sidell, in the course of his speech, con-
demned the course of w. II. Walker, and
also censured the course of Commodore
Pauding. He spoke in high terms of the
ability of General Henningsen. In reference
to Cuba he said, although the people gener-
ally of that Island were anxious for annexa-
tion to this country, yet they we're not will
ling 10 risk civil war to effect it. He gave ii
as his opinion that, for the present, it was the
best line of policy to continue our negota-
tons for the purchase of Cuba, but if Spain
attempted to establish despotism in Mexi-
co. with Santa Anna at its head, the United
States should interfere and prevent it.

Where are the other thirteen? Do they re-

failed to-the destruction of Napoleon, and
thus the loosening of the keystone that
supports the arch of despotic power in
Europe? Time will show.

AuDAcITY.-In the speech recently deliv-
ersa in Congress by that very essspcs and
Contamination of all things that golo make
up fool, Hon. Eli s. Shorter, of Alabama,
we find the following blasphemous passage.
"Sr, haye sopereign contempt for the
memory Of The Pilgrim fathers. X
If Millard Fillmore, during the last Presiden-
tial canvass, had declared that the landing of
the MaY1ower, instead of the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise, was the 'Pandora's
box from which escaped all the evils which
now afflict the country the sentiment would
have found n responsive echo in the hearts of
millions of American free men, and might
possibly have elevated him to the Presiden-
tial chair"
This is a sentiment eminently worthy of
one of the representatives Of the arch h.traitors
who would dismember the Union in order 10
build up their own fortunes upon the ruins
of the glorious fabric. 1t is highly character
istic of large number of Southern Democrats
q who are now crying out for Southern
Monarchy. The head and heart which could
dictate, or the tongue which could give ex-
preston 10 such sentiment, are already fit
for treason of the deepest, darkest, and
most damnable character. .-r......

A SINGULAR CASE OF PARALYsIs.-A man
named Michael Auer, aged about 81 years,
died at the Commercial Hospital recently,
having been an inmate of the house for sew
eral months past. Some time last fall he
was struck with paralysis, which extended to
every part of bis system, since which time he
has not been able to move hand or foot, or to
speak. He gave no signs of life whatever,
except in breathing, and the expression of
his eyes. For months he has been daily fed
like a helpless child If his arm or leg was
raised, it fell again like Il dead stick, and lay
as lifeless. So total a paralysis of the hu-
man system is wtnessed.-- Gin. Gaz.

NECESSITY OF ExERcIsE.-Most of the
current ailments of mankind arise from want
of exercise. The body must undergo GER
tain amount Of fatigue to preserve the mus
cles and organs in proper vigor. "When ex-
ercise is neglected." says the Lars Of Health,
The blood gathers too much about the cen
trail region; and the oppression about the
heart, difficulty Of breathing, lowness of spir-
its, anxiety and hcaviness, numerous aches
and stitches, are evidences of this stngnation.
People are afraid to take exercise, because
they fancy they want breath and feel weak.
But the very effort would free the heart
from this burden, by urging the blood for
ward to the exiremities; it would ease the
breathing by liberating the lungs from the
same superabundance; it would make the
frame feel active and light, as the effect of
equalized circulation and free action" A
brisk walk in the open air, daily, is worth a
whole shopful of nostrums.

A MOTHERS LovE.-Some of our readers
may recolect a thrilling ballad which was
written on the death of woman who per-
ished in the snow drifts of the Green Noun
tans of Vermont That mother bore an in
fant on her bosom, and when the storm wax
ed loud and furious, true to mothers love,
she rent her own garments, and wrapped
then around her babe. The morning found
her stiffened corpse, but her babe survived.
That babe grew to manhood, and became
the Speaker of the Ohio Senate. How thrill
ling must be his thoughts of that mother, ii
he be true, large-hearted man! How deep
mothers love! How many a mother is
there who would die for her son, if called in
Providence to do so! Let sons, when far
away from home, on the land or on the sea,
when the eye of no mothsr is upon them,
remember her love, and be restrained by 1t
from entering the path Of vice. Let them
say nothing, do nothing, which mother
wouid not approve, and they will never
bring down her gray hairs with sorrow 10
