SLAVE. E1oprs IL. ;,onrnEnS MIssoraI,-A
correspondent o.. the lIudsonville (sis,-) C1i=en
says:
"Nhut is TO be H.. result of the prcstnt
movement among the s.Aye owners Of northern
Missouri? Sir, II slave owuera continue to send
OF their s!ayes to the South for the next five
years as they are now doing, all north Missouri
will become frccsoiized Us eQectual1y US arJ
Northern State. Wbv, sir, re hare no negroes
coming in from the other slave States, and yet
they arc gninE South By hundreds. We now
are in the very worst condition we possibly
could be in We l.are not half ~ much slarc
Labor ns we need Q. present, yet VIC hare q su!l-
c:cncr to keep out white iabor-just in y can-
dillon th.t sEc-Ea.= ntther:!le QUE or the other.
What is the result! Just this: If the o,hcr
slave states do not send US supply, either by
emigration or olherwi&c, white tabor viii
come in us slave latcr gees cut. Can there be
no means Of correcting this erit: For myself,
l can suggest none. The Legislature, will
soon BE- in session can nothing be done for
our relief"
:;NoklS6 IN IIoLlAsp-In Mr. 1I;lIasti's letter
to the Boston Couritr, he states that he rode in
the second clase car from Rotterdam 10 the
Hague. with nine 11ol1a1ders, who, us soon AS
the train st.rted, "a whipped out cigar or pipe
and began to sm0sc Us men ought to seel. tieEt-
eouencss- Alter an hours ride, be says, lit
seemed to .he that the smoke had become a
solid aud palpable substance, which might hare
been cut aud taken Cut iu blocks mud slices"
lie speaks US follows Of 1Ais national PECULIAR
i1y;
and here let me say that until you come to
Holland you never eau kuo" how much humani-
IS can accomplish 10 the way Of smoking. Il
is hardly too much TO say that every man, ever;
youth, and nearly every boy smokes all the tirit.
he is awake, ut least The act Of living and
Of smoking seem synonymous: As soon as a
Dutchman begins to live he begins to smoke
and as soon as be ceases to smoke. he ceases to
lire. The smoking Of tobacco and the dr1ukip@
OF gin may perhaps be regarded as sanitary
precautions against net climate and sodden
soil: If SO the Dutch are to be commended for
the good care they take Of their health.
READING ALorD.-There is no trust 50 ercet
as to hear good reading Of any kind. MOI one
gentleman OF lady in 4 hundred can read 80 as
to l'lease the eur, and sends the words with
gentle force to the heart and understanding.
An sndistinct utterancc, whines, nasal twangs,
gutterul notes, hestations, aud other yices OF
elocution, are almost universal. Why it is, no
one can gay, unless it be that either the pupil
"r the nursery; or the Sunday school, eiecs the
style in these days Many Z lady eau sing 1tal-
ian songs. with considerable execa,on, but can
not read English pass.btr. Yet reading is by
far the most valuable Accomplishment Of the
two. in most drawing rooms, if anything is to
be read, it is discovered that nobody can read,
one has weak lungs another gets hoarse: auoth.
evidently tradition Of the xsF lie said Waits
hymns When be was too young to understand
tllrn,; another rumbics Ike a broad wheel wax-
on; another has way OF reading, which seems
to proclaim That whni is read is Of no sort Of
consequence, and had better not be listened to.
JonS DrsrAS's PIAG1AE1sx---A correspond.
cnt Of the Boston Courier SAYS:
The story Of lsunyaa's plagiarism, copied into
your paper Of Saturday, reminded ne of a pas-
sagc in southey's Memoir Of the Life of Bun
Jan, dated .la1cb 80. 1850. and pretircd to
resiscd edition Of tic Pilgrims Progress.
nouthey mentions several works, from which
Bunyan had been nest nbsurdiy accused Of
stealing, and among them The Voyage Of the
WANDERING Knight translated from tic French
OF the Carmeite, jean lie Carthenay, and print
sd during tho reign Of Elizabeth. Carthenay,s
wos WAS ~ limitation Of a French poem, COM
monk Of Chauliz. and entitled the " Pelezin de
ia Vie Humaine." Souther .ay.:
There IN I vague general resemblance il the
subject of this work, and some occasional! re-
selnblance in the details, but the condolences
sAre such as .le subject would naturally lead to,
exactly what it is, whether Dunyau bad ever
seen the book or not"
lpresume" G, De Gs;derille" is a mistake
growing out of bad penmzuship and printers
Euesswork, for Gull. de t;uilEeville," and that
the WORK found By Hiss Cashasine Isabella Curt
Soulhey.
That Hunyan was the author Of the Holy War
b*lieye has never been doubted; and il 50, be
certalnlE was tue author Of the Pilgrims Pro-
Gress; tor both are As evidently the work Of the
same mild, as are Paradise Regained and Para
disc Lost. Indeed, the marks Of the sauae mind
arc Enthusiastically visible in his sermons.
