DEIFYSG THE FEMALE SEx.-Rey. DR.. Alex
ander, in his recent volume of sermons, utters
the following solemn warning:
What horrd fraud Satan is practcing on
the Church in regard to the daughters of the
covenants In fashionable circles-dare name
them Christians ?-the years where girlhood
merges into maturity are frequently sold to the
adversary. The young American woman is
taught to deem herselfa goddess. If there be
wealth, if there be accomplishments, ifthere be
beauty, almost miracle seems necessary opre-
vent the loss of the soul. Behold her pass from
the pedestal to the altar. The charming victim
is decked for sacrifice. Every breath that comes
to her is incense. Her very studies are to fit
her for admiration. Day and night, the gay, but
wretched, maiden is taught to think of selfish
pleasures. Till some Lenten fashion of soemnty
interrupt the whirl the season is too short for
the engagements. Grave parents shake their
heads at magnificent apparel, costly gems night
turned into day, dances at which the Romans
would have blushed, pale checks, bending
frames, threatened decay, and yet they allow
and submit. And thus the sex, which ought to
show the sweet, unselish innocence Of holy
Church, is carried to the over heated temples of
pleasure. Thus the so-called Christian verifes
the Apostles maxim, "She that liYeth in pleas
ure is dead while she liveth."

The Bogus Convention.

Messrs Editors:-We are warranted in ASSERT
ing and believing that the Convention which recent
ly assembled in Lynchburg is II mere 'sham;"
palrable attempt OF the few peculiar followers OF
Con. Clay. which We verify believe are greatly in
the minority. certainly in tho called Conven-
ton. 1t is Il simple attempt to force upon them
local and partisan candididnte We do not con-
slider this move Democratic and shall not sub
nit.
What has politics to 60 with the internal inn
provement system Of Virginia? Those of the dis
trct who are not blinded by party feeling and
prejudice, we are certain will not submit To tho
arbitrary move of Mr.. Lewis Il. llarvc. &c, in f.
nally. after failing in his first attempt, rccommcn-
ding to them strictly Il Democratic candidate for
the Office Of Commissioner Of the Board Of Public
Works. We would suggest to the gentleman to
muster his force third time: pick his flint and
try again. Admitting it m office in which
politics should be brought to bear. we can sec no
necessity under the circumstances to call n con-
vention And why? From the fact that those gen
tlcmen who were mostly prominently known. were
members of the same party. VIZ were somewhat
surprised that Gen. Clay should have accepted the
nomination; and much more So. knowing as he
must have known. that that caucus, which has re-
ce;yed the appropriate shubrlquct OF the "Knmp
Convention was composed of II minority nttcmpt-
ing to dictate to large majority Of tue free vo.
ters OF this District. Democrats, for the sake of
these principles which You have ever maintained,
and for the usagcs OF your party, enter your pro-
test against the proceedings of that conyention.-

son. We venture that no one who is at nll con-
versant with the antecedents Of Mr. Tredway,
would dare make the assertion. We very much
doubt. if single member of the Lynchburs Con
yention il now ever has been, as true to his
party as Mr.. Treiway. But Ms they seem TO en-
joy it so much, and they are unacquaihted with

assertion that Mr.. Tredway will be Mr.. Boyd's
successor. Mark the prediction.

THE Bones ABOUT THE PREMIsEs.-Now is
the time to gather them up from the fence
corners and other places where they are neith
er ornamental nor health giving. Put them
into the soil, if you have not already. The
best course is to take them 10 a bone mill and
get them ground, if there is bone mill near
you. But probably there is not, as there is
not yet one bone mill to where there should be
a dozen. If ground finely and mixed several
times with their weight of muck or loaih, and
worked into the soil, in and around corn hills,
at planting time, no manure is better. Is
will not produce the tallest growth but viii
give the largest and best filed ears of any
thing we have ever tried.
But if there is no bone mill near you, as is
the fact we have no doubt with nine-tenths of
our readers, break the bones, as best you can,
and apply them to the soil. They are good
for every kind of crop. Their effect, if only
broken, will be the same in the end, but will
be slower than if ground finely, and for some
purposes will do all the better for this. as in
the case of fruit trees, to all of which bones
should be applied at the time of transplaftFne,
and may better be coarse than fine. for the
reason that here a lasting rather than an i'm
mediate effect is sought.

RELIGIOUS CoURrsHIP.-A young gentleman
happening to sit at church in pew adjoining
one in which sat young lady for whom he
conceived a violent passion, was deSirOus of
entering into courtship on the spot; but the
place not suiting formal declaration, the ex-
igency of the case suggested the following
plan. He politely handed his fair neighbor a
bible open, with pin stuck in the following
text-Second Epistle of John, verse fifth +:
Sand now [ beseech thee, lady, not as though
[ wrote new commandment unto thee, but
that which we had from the beginning, that
we love one another" She returned it, point
ing to the second chapter of Ruth, verse
tenth -ssThen she fell on her face, and bow
ed herself to the ground, and said unto him,
why have l found grace in thine eyes; that
thou shouldst take knowledge of me seeing
that am stranger ?'' He returned the book,
pointing to the twelfth verse of the second
Epstle of John. ssHaving many things to
write unto you, / would not write with paper
and ink, but trust to come unto you, and
speak face to face that our joy may be full -
From the above interview a marriage took
place the ensuing week.

Too COOP TO BE LosT.-A friend of ours re-
lates the following story, which is good one:
A traveller whom we afterwards knew, once
arrived at village inn, latter hard days trav-
ell, and being very tired requested a room to
sleep in, but the landlord said they were en-
tirely full, and it was utterly impossible to ac-
commodate hinl-that his wife had to sleep on
the sofa, and himself on the floor; but that
he would see what his wife would do for him.
The good woman on being applied to, said
there was one room which he might occupy,
provided he would agree to the conditions,
viz: 10 enter the room late, in the dark, and
leave it early in the morning, to prevent scan
dal, as the room was occupied by lady.
This he agreed to. About two O'Clock that
night, an awful noise heard in the kotlse,
and our friend, the traveller, was found .lrnb-
ling heels over head down stairs. On our
landlord arriving at the spot, and induiring
what the matter was, the traveller calculated
as soon as he was able to speak ssOh, land
lord landlord the woman's dead 20 aI
know that" said the landlr-d, ssbut how did
you find it out ?''
