LOSSES or EARGy PURITY OF
CHARACTER.

~ Over the beauty of the plum or the apricot
there grows a beauty more exquisite than the
fruit itself-a soft delicate blush that clothes

AN EDITORIAL LETTER.

When receive letter from my friend the
editor, l am able, by an intense application of
attention for few minutes, to make out its
general drift and meaning. The difficulty in
the way of grasping the entire sense does not
arise from any obscurity of style, but wholly
from the remarkable nature of the penmanship.
And after gaining the general bearing of the
document. I am well aware that there are many
recesses and hooks of meaning which will not
be reached but after repeated perusals. What
appeared at first a flourish may gradually as
sumo the form of an important clause of SEN
tence, materially modifying its force. What
appears at present blot may turn out to be
anything whatever what at present looks
ike No, may prove to have stood for Yes. I
think sympathetically of the worthy father of
DIR. Chalmers. When he received his week
ly or fortnightly letter from his distinguished
son, he carefully locked it up. By the time a
little store had accumulated, his son came to
pay him visit; and then he broke all the
seals, and got the writer of the letters to read
them.

THE MAN THAT NEVER HOLDS
THE RARY.

Miss Bremen is after "the man that never
holds the baby" with warm applications
Hear her:
At no other time does gentleman appear
to so much advantage as when presiding pa
triarchally in the bosom of his family. Ger
tain it is that a large majority of the more fas-
cinating gentlemen one meets in society are
men of family. The man who reserves his
sour moods for home-who boards up the
spleen which he dared not wreak on strangers,
for the domestic circle-who slams the front
door till the whole house quivers-who snatch
es off his beaver, and tears off his coat with a
yrowl, and bounees into the room with sharp
snarl-who tosses poor pussy off her comforta-
BILE cushion for sheer spite, and kicks Ponto
till he fairly yeIls with pain; but oh ! oh es-
pecialJy the man who never nurses the baby, is
prepared to perpetuate any enormity whatever,
and should be banished, with hue and cry, from
the society of .humanized beings. Mark him
well he is ripe for treasons, stratagems and
spells; /" let no such man be trusted. "

valley, where mutual love makes labor light
and sslfdenial pleasant, these are the spot
where children are trained to habits of indus
try and economy, 50 that when able to carr
for themselves, they have already learned tht
art of saving, an art far more difficult thar
| that of obtaining money.
Very many of our successful men, who are
now in middle life and in prominent positions
seldom had in their boyhood 50 much as dol
lar at a time in their possession, or if they had
it was long and carefully boarded for the pur-
chase of some useful article.
In such homes they learned industry and
economy together, and in such schools our no.
blest men and women have been trained, they
who have been the preserving salt of our coun-
try.
But now, amid the false life, Of which we
see SO much in our cities, when the Christian
ulezof economy is scorned, young man must
have a fortune earned or heired, or some lucra-
tive business at command, or what hope can
he have in the married relation? An ordina-
ry salary, probably, will not support himself
alone; how then shall he add to this the fash
ionable charge Of wife? The idea of help
mate in a wife seems fading out of good soci-
ETY. !. she is one to be supported, in the opinion
of many. Under such circumstances, too
marriage is often delayed until, on both sides,
the young affections have run to waste, and
the freshness Of the heart is gone.
The course of fashionable life, and the ex-
pense for the qualification of pride and vanity,
tend to divest home of the holy baptism of
early love, and sink to lower level the idea
Of wife. Substitute, as society seems disposed
to do, woman to be maintained, for wife
who should be helper and supporter let ho-
tel take the place of a home, with its charmed
circle Of domestic cares, trials and joys, and
add the modern views of divorce and the |
whole basis. of Christian marriage, home and
anily, are swept away, Gods holiest and
learest Institution is subverted, and what have
We left but the idea of womann kept ac-
,ording to Law. for a time, until one or the 9TH
.r tires of the contract, or has discovered some
lew affinity?
We think that useless expenses are among
he chief causes of failure and crime with |
young men, and that fashionable extravaganza |

"No PLACE LIKE HOME,
"rhsre is no place like home

Thus the poet once sung, and every heart
responds to the truth of the beautiful senti-
ment. What tender emotions, warm feelings,
and hallowed recollections cluster around the
words I" No place like home!" It is the sen
timent which gave beauty to the verse and life
to the song-that awakened all the refined and
undying sensibilities of the soul. Emotions
the most tender swell the bosom, as the heart,
in warm affection, sighs for the sanctity of
home. From its sacred altar goes forth an in
1uence that gives to life its beauty, its sweet
ness and its charm, and around that altar lin
gers the hope of destiny for in its educating
and elevating influence is the safeguard of in
nocence and purity.

may seem at first glance, an examination proves

Death Of a New Jersey Slave.

Mrs. Mercy jackson, an aged colored woman,
died in this city yesterday, in the 10Th year. Mr..
jackson was slave belonging to the Coe fam
lily. She was part of the marriage portion
of the Messrs Coe, being at the time only II
years old, and has since lived in the family
When the law abolishing slavery was passed in
this State she was too old to take advantage OF
the manumission, and has since been cared for
by the family. For several years she has been
very feeb,e, and unable to walk. She was
probably the last remaining slave in this State.

A motion that Hon. Henry S. Lane, of In
diana, address the convention, was received
with loud applause,
Mr.. Lane took the stand and made west
ern speech-that is, a speech full of fun, elo-
quence, and power. He said that any member
of the Democracy present need not fear person
opprobrium from him, but he would at the
same time heartily denounce this God-accurs-
ed administration. On his journey from Indi-
ana to Columbus, he had seen living witnesses
against slavery and for freedom-indeed our
whole State was an epic inspired by the spirit
of liberty.
Mr. Lane then rapidly sketched the history
and position of the Republican and Democratic
parties on the slavery question and paid his
respects to Senator Pugh, whose official place,
he hoped, would soon know him no more forev-
er. He trusted that Mr. Pugh would soon be
consigned to that obscurity, which he was so
well qualified to adorn. He then glanced at
the state of the free north and slave south,
refuted the old fiction of the immutability of
the Democratic party, and exposed the extrav-
agance and recklessness of the present admin
istration.
The speech abounded in telling points, which
were greeted with the usual tonant applause
Mr.. Lane tells story capitally, and told three
of the best Sort by way of illustration; but to
reproduce them without his manner would be
to do him injustice of which not even report
er is capable.
