JEFFERSON AND SEwARD.-Thc
Springfield Republican says truthfhlIy
that Jefferson was quite AS much Of 4
fanatic" as Seward on the slavery
question, though it requires the ad-
vanced civilization ofthe last half oftIlQ
nineteenth century to detect the fact
Singularly similar to Mr.. Stewards idd&
Of the incompatibility of slavery and
freedom in this. country, as developed
in his Rochester spcach, and now form
ing the staple of democratic political
capital alagainstthe Republicans, are these
views from Mr.. Jefferson's letters
Nothing is more certainly acritte,s i,t
the book offate, THAN THAT THESE
PEOPLE ARE TO BE FREE; nor IS 1t less
certain that the t,co races, equally FREQ
cInnot lire IN the sare government
Nature, habit and opinion have drawn
indelible lines of distinction between
them. 1t is still in our power to direct
the process of emancipation and de-
portation peaceably, and in sach slow
degree as that the evil will wear off in
sensibly, and their place be parripossu,
filled up rith free aohite ld6orers. If;
on the contrary, it is left to force itself
on, human nature might shndder at the
prospects held up."

r Capt. Hudson, of the Niagara,
was once, says the Jamaica, IL. Farm
er, baker boy in brooklyn. One day
he chanced to be in the Navy Yard at
Brooklyn, and the thought struck him
that he would like to enter the Navy.
So, going to the proper officer, he ap-
piled for admission. The novelty of
seeing lad alone boldly asking for a
place so often secured by political pre-
ferences, or by the entreaties of inhu-
ential friends; at onve attracted the at
attention of the officers, and he en-
quired, "What can you do? ?" The
reply was prompt and decisive: "Any
thing that any other boy can." He
was told to call again, and few days
passed, and the place was given to the
enterprising lad. Scarcely in his new
position, he began to show marks of
genius and aptitude which outdid his
associates, and step by step the bakers
boy rose to influence and rank, and to-
day he stands among the highest in
rank and most influential in power OF
the great ones who compose the United
States Navy. Such, in brief is the
career of William n. Hudson, COM
mander of the United States steamer
Niagara.

The DYING NEVER WEEP.-It is a
striking fact-the dying mever aceep.
The circle of sobbing, agonized hearts
around produces not one tear. Is it
that he is insensible and stiff already
in the chill of dissolution? That can
not be, for he asks for his fathers hand,
as if to gain strength in the mortal
struggle, and leans on the breast of
mother, brother, or sister, with still
conscious affection and, just before ex-
piring, at eve, when long days's con-
verse, with the Angle of Summons he
says to his oldest brother-the last au-
dible good night of earth" Kiss me,
kiss me % 1t must be because the dy-
ing have reached point too deep for
our earthly crying and weeping. They
are face to face with higher and holier
beings, with the Father in heaven, and
his angle throng, led by the Son himself;
and what are griefs of morning, tears
of dying farewell-be it that they are
shed by the dearest on heart-in tina.
vision, bright of immortal life and ever
lasting reunion!

REDUCTION OF FARE on THE Rail-
RoADs.-The fare on the Mich Sou.
and Lake Shore Railroad, from De:
troit to Cleveland has been reduced To
S4,OO. The fare on the Cleveland and
Philadelphia Road has been reduced to
$500 from Cleveland to New York.
Whereupon the Lake Shore Philadel-
phia and Baltimore Road has put the
fare down to 5000. The Cleveland
Plaindealer, of Monday, says:
"Rumor has it that still better times
are coming for the disinterested travel.
ing public, that during the present year
of 1859 fares, will more than make Up
for the high fares paid during the last
year. 1t is currently reported and be-
lieved that the Pittsburgh line intends
to reduce the fare to New York. to
$500, and it is confidently asserted
that if they do so, the Lake Shore line
will reduce the fares to philadelphia
and Baltimore to only $500. This
will be going it merely on their. "mtis-
cle." We expect to be paid three
cents mile for riding on these rival
roads yet, and lunch thrown in. All

rights which you haze ,aot-it is in con-

you possess that they do all these pref
ty little things. Your right to refuse
them (the only prerogative which CIV
ilization has always awarded to woman)
when they ask for your allegiance.
THIS is the secret of mans gallantry,
if you doubt it read Lord Chesterfield.
Read theworld around you. Note how
politically these gallantries are be-
slowed. Who doffs his hat to the pale
looking seamstress! Who picks up old
Mrs. Crimes pocket handkerchief, who
resigns his seat to widow Scrubbroom !?
Note, how soon man becomes neg
Hgent of these polite attentions to his
lady love after he is married. Why!
because she has surrendered the only
right she ever possessed, individuality.
Don't believe ladies, that men are eoer
more polite to their subordinates than to
their equals. When womanisexaltedto to
political equality with man, when she
has had time to qualify herself for that
equality, she will be more truly honored
and beloved by man than she is to-day.
She will gain energy of character with
out any sacrifice of delicacy. The true
characteristics by which God has dis
tinguished the nature of woman, cam
not be destroyed by simply giving her
freedom. If female delicacy is thing
Of circumstance, it is nothing at ALL
Did Mrs. Fry rub off her womanly
modesty in visiting the prisons of
Europe? Did she come back coarse
harsh, bold woman ?
Men mistake their own interest when
they encourage ladies in their present
soft and frivolous pursuits. Woman
mistakes her own nature when she i'm
agines that she was created to be doll
or merely an eppendage to man, and
this double mistake lies at the founda-
ton of two thirds of the miseries of
life.

tant decision which has Just eminated

ment of debts contracted by such war

Two Pictures.
BY CLARENCE MELVIN.

Somebody's heart is gay,
And somebody's heart is sad;
For lights shine out across the way,
And door with Grape is clad
Sadness and gladness alike
Are dwelling side by side;
Perhaps the death of an early one,
And the crowning of bride.
Bright eyes are filled with mirth,
Pale faces bend in prayer,
And hearts beside the household hearth
Are crushed by cold despair;
ALL sorrow and hope and joy e
Are pared by thinnest wallis
But on the hearts of tue thoughless ones
No shadow of sorrow falls!
No thoughts of the funeral train
Come to the festive throng;
No hope that the past will come again,
To the auguished hearts belong;
The futures sunny sea
To the lovers of joy and mirth-
But the past alone to those who weep
For the parted ties of earth.
Somebody's heart is gay,
And Somebody's heart is sad;
For the lights are bright across the way,
And door with Grape is clad
Sadness and gladness alike
Enclose us on every hand
A wealth of smiles and food of tears
With hope and sorrow allied.

The MARRYING WOMAN is mattel

The MARKETING WOMAN is MATED
AGA1N.-Last summer we mentioned
the circumstance of German widow
in the Third District marrying her fifth
husband. A month or two afterwards,
we published that the lady was again
made widow by the death of the fifth
by the yellow fever. We have now to
record that she is again wife, having
taken her sixth lawful husband in due
form few days ago. We forbear re-
peating the jokes to which this wed
ding has given rise. The people
around here look upon the sixth hus-
band as a dead man, sure, before the
summer is over, and say that the we'd
ding should have been prevented by
the police. Some of the lady's Ger
man friends say she buried two hus-
bands before leaving the old country.
If this be true, the present husband is
her eighth ~ O. Crescent, Apru l.

How TRUE!-"There is in every hu-
man being craving for home-felt
pleasures, a desire for daily commu-
Mon and interchange of affection with
some kindred spirits, who feels more
interest in our thoughts and feelings
than all the world besides, and for this,
the wide, wide Universe offers no sub
stitute::" yet how few are fitted, by edu-
cation, habits and principles, to enjoy
connubial happiness!-and how many
do not consider that in choosing a
partner for life, rational and durable
enjoymnet can only be expected, with
person of durable age, similarity OF
taste and abilities; of virtuous princi-
Piles, and of good understanding. They

agreeable nerrsson, and winning man.
ners, or what is equally common in
modern days, with the shining quail
ties of the purse; tender looks, and
tales of first love, (which is often only
first folly,) are exchanged; they fancy
they are in love, and rush into matri
mony, like horse into battle, and find
out, when it is too late, that the silken
bands of wedlock are iron bands, fas
tened with arrows of steel, that give
the sharpest wound! After shor tao

A man in his carriage was riding along,
A gaily dressed wife by his side; ,r
In satin and laces she looked like queen,
And he like king in his pride.
A wood-sawer stood on the street as they passed,
The carriage and copule he eyed,
And said, as he worked with his saw on log,

The man in the carriage remarked to his wife
Zone thing would give if could;
I would give all my wealth for the strength and
the health
Of the man who saweth the wood"
A pretty young maid, with bundle of work,
Whose cheek as the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with smile of delight,
While humming loye-breathing air.
She looked on the carriage-the lady she saw,
Arrayed in apparel so fine,
And said in whisper, " l wish from my heart
Those satins and iaces were mine"
The lady looked out on the maid with her work,
So fair in her calico dress, a
And said "Pd relinquish possession and wealth
Her beauty and youth to possess"
We welcome the pleasures for which we have sighed,
The heart has void in it still,
Growing deeper and wider the longer we live,

FEMALE ARTS. = The Providence
Post has the following very sensible re-
marks in relation to the arts Of the fe-
male sex to attract the notice of gentle
men:
Newspaper editors have a great deal
to say against the kind of education
which our young ladies get, and the
arts which they resort to, in attracting
the notice and winning the affections of
the gentlemen. They should remember
that the young ladies are educated for
a market. Furs are not wanted in AT.
RIGA, and root beer is of no great ac-
count in Greenland. A modest, plain
speaking, unaffected, and very artless
young lady will stand little chance OF
getting husband, where gew gaws,
low-necked dresses, simpering, gig
Cling, flirting and screaming are adver-
tised for Is it not shamefully true
that the best young women are over
looked, even by very sensible young
men, in the search for wives, while the
butterflies are married off by scores
Undoubtedly, the sensible young man
says to himself, when he sees these two
characters together, that be would
much prefer the artless, modest, plain
speaking woman for wife, but at the
same time he prefers the butterfly for
flirting purposes I; and The finds year
afterwards that flirting led to marriage,
and marriage to wretchedness. Whose
fruits is it, more than his own?
