CODIvA OF COVENTRY.

In the eleventh century, Godiva, wife Of
the Duke Of Mercia a branch Of the Sax
on heptarchy,) manifested her love for
her country by singular exploit. For
beauty and virtue, this princess stands the
foremost Of her age. Her husband hav.
ing imposed very oppressive tax upon
the inhabitants Of Coventry, she strongly
urged him to suppress it but the duke,
a man Of unaccouutable caprice. refused
her request, unless she would travers the
whole town naked. Godiva, despairing
Of success by any other means, submit
ted to his brutal whim; and having issued
orders, that the inhabitants should re-
main confined to their houses and not look
at her. upon pain Of death. she mounted
on horseback. rode through all The streets
Of Coventry, without any covering but
what copious head Of hair afforded her.
One man, instigated by curiosity, peeped
out Of a window; and his impudence was
Immediately punished with death. In
memory Of this event. the remains Of q
statue, in the attitude Of a person gazing
are still to be seen upon that very spo,
Of the ancient city Of Coventry.
THE SPARTAN MOTHER.
ASpartan lady had five sons in the

A Chinese emperor, pursued by. the
victorious forces Of a patriot Of inferior
rank, to extricate himself, had recourse
to the principles Of flial duty and rever.
ence, carried in China to a superstitious
excess. An officer, with drawn sabre
in his hand. was dispatched TO the moth
er Of the victor, with command from the
emperor, on pain Of death, to order her
son to disband his troops. Disdaiufully
smiling,the intrepid matron replied, ''doth
thy master believe that am ignorant Of
tacit,. but sacred, conyen ton between the
people, and sovereign. By which the mas
ter is bound to render happy the servant
who obeys? Itisthe emperor who has FIRST
violated this treaty--aud thou. vile tool Of
tyrant, learn, in such case, from 100
man what is due to thy country" Then.
snatching from his hand the weapon she
plunged il in her breast. "Slave!' said
she, as the blood flowed from the wound,
''if thou hast still any virtue; carry this
roignard TO my 500. Tell him to revenge
tho nation, and punish the usurper. He
has now no caution to observe on account
Of his mcther--he is at liberty to be vir-
tuous."
THE MOTHER OF ABDALLAH.
The mother of A5dallah, consulted by
her son, who, forsaken by bis friends, and
beseiged in the castle, was urged by the
Syrians to an honorable capitulation,
made the following reply:
"My son when thou tookest up arms
against the house of Omniah. didst thou
believe thyself espousing the cause Of jus.
tice and virtue?" 4-
~ did," replied the son.
"Where, then, is the cause for deliber.
alton? Dost thou not know. that towards

be said. that, when thou vast 10 deter.

MY CHILDREN,

Have you seen Annie and Kitty.
Two merry children Of miner

Annie is kissing and clinging.
Dozens Of times in day.
Chattering, laughing and singing.
Romping and fu ming away,
Annie knows all Of her neighbors,
Dainty, and dirty alike ...
Learns all their talk and "be jabers,"
Says she "adores little Miker'
Annie goes mad for a flower,
Eager to pluck and destroy
Cuts paper dolls by the hour,
Always her model-a boy.
Annie is full of her fancies,
Tells most remarkable lies,

Startling in one Of her size.
Three little prayers we have taught her.
Ora ded from Winter to Spring.
oh, you should list to my daughter
Saying them ali in string
Kitty-ah, how my heart blesses
Kitty, my lilly, my rOse
Wary Of all my caresses,
Chary Of all she bestows.
Kitty loves quiet places;
Whispers sweet sermons to chairs
And with the gravest Of faces
Teaches old Charlie his prayers.
Matronly, Motherly creaturel
Oh, what a doll she has built
Guiltless of figure and feature
Out Of her own little quilt.
Nought must come near it to wake it,
Noise must not give it alarm;
And when she sleeps she must take it
Into her bed, on her arm.
Kitty is SLY to caller,
Uttering never word;
But when alone in the parlor,
Talks to herself like bird.

And with comical smile,

DEATH OF NATIoSAL DEMocRAr.-
The Hartford Post, in Speaking of Cyrus
Butler, of Providence. says he was worth,
when he died, some five millions Of dol
lars, yet he lived poorer than most men
not worth one thousand dollars. Salt
Goldfish was q standard dish with him,
and even in his last sickness, it is said
that he upbraided those who had the care
of him for their extravaganza in proyid-
ing delicacies for him. assuring them that
be could not afford it. He was bache-
Tor and snuff taker. His snuff he kept
in large box, and bought by the cents
worth. There was but one store in Prov
idence. and that on India Point, where
be could get his box filed for cent, and
the old man used to patronize that store,
more than a mile distant. whenever his
box required filing.

The Administration Tylerized.

Every day seems to diminish the i'm
portanee of the Federal Administration
as a power in the State. One of the most
important recommendation of the Pres
ident in his last annual message was the
proposition to establish military posts in
Sonora and chihuahua. On Friday last
the House Committee on Military Affairs
decided against this measure. and thus
struck another blow at the Administra-
ton. This session does not seem at all
propitious to its success. With Dem
ocratic majority in both Houses, it is I'M
able to secure the endorsement of single
measure. and the strongest opposition it
encounters, is manifested by its own par
tisans. If it was treason to be merely an
anti Lecomptonite, and if men deserved
to be guillotined for their offences on that
question, fatal errors and antagonisms are
not so numerous and so glaring that we
know of nothing which can expiate their
enormity short of hanging, drawing, and
quartering millions of the American De-
mocracy. On the Pacific Railroad bill,
the Southern Democratic Senators, with
but very few exceptions, took up arms
against the Administration. Democratic
caucuses are held to defeat its tariff rec
concentrations. It's contract for the pro-
lection of the Echo" negroes was
strongly opposed, and its scheme of Oc-
cupying Sonora and chihuahua has now
been frustrated. Meanwhile, investigating
committees are keenly on the scent OF
some of Mr.. Buchanan's favorites and
from present indications singular revela-
tions will be made for an Administration
headed by one who views with such pious
horror the employment Of money to in
huence elections. If, in the general po-
litical term of the Opposition all who
oppose in whole or in part the recon-
mendations of the President are to be in
cluded, the whole country belongs to that
category. There is no Administration
party, unless it is the ofice-holders and,
indeed, their fidelity is by no means GER
tain. No Administration measure can
be sustained this session, from present in-
dicstions, unless it is supported by large
number of the Opposition members, who,
while they may agree with the President
on isolated questions, are deeply hostile
to his general policy. There has never
been period in American history, except
during the official term of John Tyler,
when the President exercised less influence
over the deliberations of Congress, and
possessed fewer reliable supporters there,
than Mr.. Buchanan does at this moment ;
and we are not sure that this comparison
does not do injustice to Mr.. Tyler.-PhI.

Address of the Wings and Americans
.. of Kentucky.

Previous to adjournment, the Ameri.
cans and Wings of the Kentucky State
Convention put forth an address which
concludes as follows; and which we
heartily endorse, and presume q majority
of our readers will act wisely in doing
likewise -
The defeat of the Democracy i: great
national necessity, the indispensable pre-
requisite to any reform. That is the only
mode by which power can be placed in
the hands of honest men, who will
l. Prevent disunion and check disunion
tendencies.
2. Give peace to the nation on the sla.
very question.
8. Give an honest, economical admin
istration of the Government, and spolis-
ton of the treasury and national domain
4. Not give injurious control to the
Federal Government, over State banks
and railroads, by means of bankrupt
law, as recommended by our Democratic
President and Secretary of Treasury.
5. Not to permit the substitution Of
direct taxation in lieu of duties on i'm
ports, to raise revenue for enormous ma
tional expenses, as recommended by a
Democratic committee.
6. Not permit the transfer of the war
making power to President, nor allow
him to make treaties without the super
vising control of the Senate, nor trust
him with an enormous secret service cor
ruption fund, to be used either abroad oil
at home.
7. Not drag us, directly or indirectly,
into protracted war, for the mere acqui.
sition of Cuba or any other foreign terri
tory. ryF
8. Not permit the importation of for.
eign felons or paupers.
Q. Not squander the national domain
in donations to unnaturalized foreigners
and pet corporations, but to keep it as a
sacred trust for all the States to whom it
belongs.
In conclusion, deeming as we do, the
defeat of the Democratic party great
public necessity, for the reasons already
stated, and many more, we would rejoice
to see patriotic citizens throughout the
Union abandoning those Improbable dis
putes which have been the main instru-
mont of perpetuating power in the hands
of the INSCRIPTIONS Democracy. combined
together for its overthrow. But cooper
alton, or union, by the Opposition Of
Kentucky. is, now and forever, utterly
undesirable and impossible with any par
ty or persons who seek. by the action Of
the Federal Government, through any Of
its departments, to interfere with the In
stitution of slavery. and we declare thai
we can have no utilization, whatever, witt
disunionists or Abolitionists. All Others
are invited to cordial utilization on terms
of perfect equality.

made to him. Mr.. Fillmore said that he
had emphatically retired to private life
he had enjoyed the honors of Office and

matter is entirely just. 81. B." is ar
object of pity. and an effort is made, now
that nine-tenths of his patronage is used

OPIUM EATING IN THE UNITED STATES.
One Of the most curious facts recently
revealed by the publication of custom
house tables, is. that there was imported
into this country, last year. three hundred
thousand pounds of opium. Of this
amount. it is ESTIMATED, from reliable data,
that not more than one-tenth is used for
medical purposes. The habit Of eating
opium is known to be spreading rapidly
among LAWYERS, doctors, clsrgymen and
literary men, and enormous quantities
are used by the manufacturers Of those
poisonous liquids, which are dealt out in
drinks in the saloons and grOggeries that
infest every city AID village in the cOun-
