TOUCHING Up COP AND THE CoSsT1TU-
TIoN.-The story runs that when Presi-
dent Buchanan received an invitation to
attend the Centenary Celebration at Pitts
burg, he passed the letter to his secretary,
and requested him to frame a suitable an
swer. The secretary did so, and brought
it back to the President to read. When
Mr.. Buchanan had finished, he handed it
back saying, "Ah. very well. but you
must touch up Almighty God and the
Constitution a little" The secretary
smiled, reflected, and then added the fol-
lowing:
praying Almighty God that your re-
mote posterity may continue century after
century. for ages yet to come, to celebrate
the anniversary of the capture of Fort
Duquesne in peace and prosperity. under
the protecting banner of the Constitution
and the Union,
Iremain, very respectfully. your friend,

RESOLVED, That any attempt Of Con-
gress to abolish slavery in Territory Of

create serious alarm and just apprehension
in the States sustaining that domestic in

exempting any part of it after such ad-
mission, from being subject to the pay
ment of the territorial debt of Kansas.

LADIES, WHAT DO VOC WITH THE PMS
The Report of the Secretary of tbs
Treasury makes some curious statements
in regard to pins !:
The number of pins made per annunf
in the United States, is two billions ak
hundred and seven millions three hun.
dred and sixty thousand; and it is sem
tentiously remarked, "pins have the Ame@
rican market" If so, it cannot BE- de-
MED that the market has the pins. And
here the question comes up for solution
what becomes of these pins ? Ths pop
ulation Of this country is twenty-six MIL
lions. Does each individual consume
one hundred pins year? for that is the
average supply. But it is well known,
that it is only one sex who consumes
pins at all. Does each American exarn-
pie of the feminine gender suppress 200
pins a year? From babyhood to nfat1.
rity, and from that to the grave, the pas
sion for pins, 4 is admitted, is part Of
woman's nature. but we submit that this
fact affords no satisfactory explanation Of
the disappearance Of twenty-six hundred
and seven millions Of pins per GnHTns.

be in May, and the full moon shone 50
brightly that the streets to q late hour
were filed with delicious twilight. Il
was not the custom for visitors of the
President to sit, but it appears from Mr..
Pintord's diary, that on this night, at
least, there were chairs in the rooms where
Mrs. Washington saw her guests. for,
latter they were all seated" tea and cot.
fee, and plum and plain cake, were dis
pensed by the attending servants. She
remarked, while speaking Of the days
occurrence, that none of them had so
pleased the General (by which title she
always designated her husband as the
friendly greetings Of the gentlemen who
called upon him at noon. To an inqui-
~ by the President whether such obserV-
ances were casual or customary, it was
answered that New Years visiting had
always been maintained in the city. He
paused q moment and then observed,
THE highly favored situation of New
York will, in the process of years, attract
numerous emigrants, who will gradually
change its ancient customs and manners
but, whatever changes take place, never
forget the cordial and cheerful observance
Of New Years Day" Mrs. Washing
ton had stood by his side as the visitors
arrived and were presented. and when the
clock in the hall was heard striking nine,
she advanced, and with q eomplacens
smile said, 1.-THE General always retires

BY MRS. NJ. l. GARDNER.
Love constitutes the bliss Of Heaven,
Where an the blessed are;
Owslls in the hear by sorrow rivsu,
And drives away despair.
Love led the Saviour to forsaks
His palace in the skies;
Love made the rocky mountains quake,
And caused the wind to rise.
Love brought the Saviour to the esrh,
To seek the humble poor;
Love chose the manger for His birth,
And Seornsd the rich mans door.
Love is a spark that ne'sr viii die
Il warns the Odd Fellows breast;
Prompts him to deeds Of sympathy,
And giVss the SafersF rest.
Friendship, Love and Truth combined,
Is Heaven begun below
Yield purer pleasures to the mind,
Than wealth can Ger bestOw.
Odd Fellows! let your motto be.
YOur spirits' guiding starr
Beneath Its rays keep firm and free,
Lat nought your union mar.
Your works shall rise like incense bright,
Before the eternal throne,
Where God, from His unmsasured height,
Shall mark you for His own.
March fearless forth, a chosen band,
Till called By Him above;
Then take possession Of land
