Beautiful AlIegory.

Mr.. Crittenden, of Kentucky, was OF one
time engaged in defending man who had
been indicted for a capital offense. After an
elaborate and powerful defense he closed his
effort by the following striking and beautiful
allegory: ....
When God in his eternal counsel conceived
the thought of mans creation, he called to
him the three ministers who wait constantly
upon the throne-Justce, Truth and Mercy
and thus addressed them: "Shall we make
mani" Then said Justice, go, God, make
him not, for he will trample uponthy laws. "
Truth made an answer also, go, God, make
him not, for he will pollute the sanctuaries. "
But Mercy, dropping down upon her knees,
and looking up through her tears, exclaimed,
40, God, make him--I will watch over him
with my care through all the dark paths
which he may have to tread" Then God
made man, and said to him, 40, man, thou
art the child Of Mercy, go and deal with thy
brother"
The jury, when he had finished, were
drowned in tears, and against evidence, and
what must have been their own conviction,
brought in verdict of not guilty.

Preserving Fruits without Sugar.

The present mode Of preserving fruit with
very little or no sugar has become so prevalent
as to be no longer new to your numerous
readers; but for the benefit of young house.
keepers who, wish to know precisely howsit is
done, will give you my method of putting up
peaches, in which have been particularly
successful.
l use Spratt's self-sealing glass cans. / put
several of them at a time in pans of cold water,
and place them on o stove to heat gradually
Then fill the preserving kettle about oue-th third
full of water, and perhaps q half pound of SUI
gar-pare and stone tho peaches, and put
them, few at at time, into the syrup; and
when they are up to the boiling point, put
them into the cans with spoon, as rapidly as
possible. When full, apply the cover, the wax
having been softened by tho heat of the peaches,
the mir will be completely excluded. Then re-
move from the water to n table as soon as one
is filed, and put a weight as heavy as fat
iron on each cover, until the wax becomes
cold.
If many are to be put up, it should employ
the hands of two or three persons, that the
peaches may not lose their flavor or color by
standing. They should be fully ripe. The
yellow peaches are decidedly the best.
This Is o much more expeditions way than
cooking in the bottles or cans, and the air is
just as effectually excluded. The peaches
can be put up whole, if desired, in the same
way. This preserves the flavor of the pit,
and makes them particularly good for pies
When putting up cherries or other small
fruits, the bottles are filed with the fruit;
then placed in large -bottomed kettle or
boiler. Fill the kettle with cold water as
high as the necks of the bottles, and let the
water boil twenty minutes. Put in the corks
before they are removed from the kettle, and
seal Immediately. When fruit is to be used
for ppddings or pies, put it up without sugar;
but when designed for eating upon the table,
the easiest way is to cook them in preserv-
ing kettle, with small quantity Of sugar,
which seems to preserve tho flavor of the
fruit.
This mode of preserving fruit is not only
one of the luxuries of the age, but is o great
saving of labor and perplexity, when com
pared with the old method Of preserving,

The Value Of a Scrap Book.

Every ono who takes valuable paper, which
they, in the least degree appreciate, will often
regret to see number thrswn aside for waste
paper, which contains some interesting and
important articles. Yet few can afford the
space, in any room convenient Of access for
filing sway number Of papers year after year,
and even when it can be done, the volume is
In quite inconvenient form for reference.
A good substitute for fling is the use Of
scrap book. One Of the proper form may be
bought at almost any bookstore, but if you do
not wish to incur that expense, q very good one
may DO made Of folded newspapers, cut evenly
at the edge, and stitched into pasteboard
cover. The best paste for the purpose is made
OF clear starch, and it should be applied to the
scrap, and not to the leaf of the book. The
oook should be left open an hour or two, to
dry, but not perfectly, as the leaves are apt to
curl up, unless closed while little damp.
One who has never been accustomed thus to
prepare choice articles can hardly estimate the
pleasure it affords one to sit down and turn
over the familiar rages. Here choice piece
OF poetry meets the eye, which you remember
you were so glad to sec In the paper, but which
would long since have been destroyed had il
mot been for your sorap-book. There is q
witty anecdote, it does you good to laugh over
yet, though for the twentieth time. Next is a
valuable recipe you had almost forgotten, and
which you have found just in time to save you
much perplexity. There is a sweet little story,
the memory of which has cheered and encour-
aged you many o. time, when almost ready to
despair, under tb pressure of life's care and
trials.
Indeed, you can hardly take up any paper,
without findins; many choice thoughts worth
perusing. just glance over the sheet before
you, and see ow many valuable items it con-
tains, that would be Of service to you hun .
dred times II, life. A choice thought is far
more more precious than q bit of glittering gold.
That perishes, but thought is immortal
Hoard with care these precious gems, and sec
at the close of the year what rich treasury
you have accumulated.

STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS LETTER.

NJ DOOULASS
Judge Douglas has done that which has
murdered the prospects of many ambitious
aspirants for place. He has written let
ter-which the agent Of the Associated
Press has thought of sufficient importance
to incorporate in the regular dispatches last
night. Like Bardis, Mr.. Douglas "is will
ling" He will run for the Presidency, if his
friends desire it, on the same platform which
swallowed up James Buchanan in 1856
He declares against the re-opening of the
slave trade and against slave code for the
Territories. This declaration will, in all
probability dish" the "ittle giauL' most
completely in tho South; and wipes out,
therefore, all chances that he may have ever
had Of success in the Charleston Convcn-
ton.
Washington, June %.
Friends of Judge Douglas here are in
possession of the following letter, explain
ing his position on the subject of tho Pres
dency, and of which they have permitted a
copy to be taken for publication:
Washington, June 22nd, 1859.
MHDEAR SIR:-I have received your
letter enquiriug wWther my friends are at
liberty to present ny name to the Charles
| ton Convention for tho Presidential nomi-
nation. Before this question can be finally
determined, it will be necessary to under.
stand distinctly upon what issues the can
vass is to be conducted. II, as l have full
faith they will, the Democratic party shall
determine in the Presidential election of
1860, to adhere to the principles embodied
in the compromise measures of 1850 and
ratified by the people in the Presidential
election Of 1852, and re-affirmed in the
Kansas Nebraska act of 1854, and iucor-
poTated into the Cincinnati platform in 1858
expounded by Mr.. Buchanan in his let
ter, accepting tho nomination and approved
BY the people in his election; in that event
my friends will be at liberty to present my
name to the Convention if they see proper
TO do so. If, on the contrary, it shall be-
como the policy Of the Democratic party,
which l cannot anticipate, to repudiate
these, their time-honored principles, on
which we have achieved so many trinmphs,
and in lieu Of them the Convention shall
interpolate into the creed of the party such
new issues as the revival of the African
slavo trade, or a Congressional slave code
for the Territories, OF that the Constitution
of the United States either establishes OF
prohibits slavery in the Territories beyond
the power of the people legally TO control
it as other property, it is due TO candor to
say, that in such an event, could not ac-
cept the nomination if rendered TO me-
Trusting that this answer will be deemed
sufficiently explicit, l am,
Very respectfully, your friend,
s. A. DOUGLAS.
