TIE LovE OF FAmE.-The love Q fame Is the strongest desne of the humar soul. Wealth, fortune, happiness, aad life itself are sacrificed to leave a nause on the perishable record of time. For this the pale student bends OCT the pages of classic lore, until the last midnight taper is exiinguished. Fame, like a beam of light, lures him onward. His pale cheek glows with pride, while he dreams lhsf ere long bis voice will be heard in lhe Senate. Already he sees the lofty ones of earth lowing before him, and bis proud name extending like the recedjng waves, till in other clines it is known and hon. .ored.
 The gifted son of geni.s fills pages with his fanciful dreaws, hoping one day to equal the master poets but perhaps ere he has reached the eminence for which he sighed, he falls by the shaf of the De- stroyer. Instead of being registered among the great, he passes into oblivion, and his name is forgotten by the world I Cluna.

We do not Know how much we Love
BY FINLEY JOHNSON,

BY FINLEY JOHNSON. We do not know how much we love Until we come to part; How strong the tendrils are that bind An object to the heart The tree, beneath whose branches we ia Infancy have straYed! lle howers-the friends of early youth. Withwhom we oft have played, Are things o'er which we mourn and grieyf In pleasure and in pain, As memory brings them back to us From out the past again. We finger still amidst the scenes Thatwe have loved so well; While recollections fond and pure Within our bosoms swell; And to their shadows still we cling, Fen while they do depart For memories that we thought were hid Come crewding on the heart: And though the star of hope may shed It's beams upon our way; |. Yet Farewell is a bitter word For those who love to say.

IMMonrALIry.--In the beautiful trama of Ion, the instinct of immortality, so elo- quently uttered by the death devoted Greek, finds a deep response in every thoughtful soul. When about to yield his young existence as a sacrifice to fate, his beloved Clemanthe asks ifthey shall meet again, to which he replies: II have asked that dreadful question of the hills, that look eternal--of the flowing streams that lucid flow forever-of the stars, amid whose fields of azure my raised spirit has irod in glory; all were dumb, but now, as lthus gaze upon thy living face, and see the love that nantles through its beauty, l Feel that we can never wholly perish.- We shall meet again, Clcmanthe.'

It appears that the tOrtuous and double faced
policy which the pretended trieads Of Bel and
Everett are pursuing in this State is doing great
il Jury to that ticket in those Southern States whore
it has strength, and might reasonably hope to OBJ
tain electoral votes. On this head, The Baltimore
Patriot says:
I'VE begin now suspect that or every ten Democrats
whom Douglas may detach In the South from brscknrdse Col
Bell will many Of ns old ieads who will rally to Breck
and Lane The De eion OF many preoinent men a sdy
from tho Bell and Everett cause will fear not be without
M serious effect the shat these representative
men, And the policy recommended by Governor Hunt and Dir
Brooks Of unite with two life long ensmies to sb
soib the Bell and Everett ticket not calculated 10
tue Southern supporters Of Col Bell whl gog
fer him against the field"
This is not surprising. The truth seems to be
that Brook. and Hunt have never been honestly in
favor OF Bell but base all along been standing on
that peculiar commercial platform which admits
the claim of the h. hest bidder as the supreme
principle Of right. Since the Republicans would'Dt
buy them, knowing them to be, as Tnurlow Weed
told Hunt, smut worth saving" they could ooy
hope to deol with Democrats. Accordingly, they
have now got things fixed so that they can trade
with either Breckenridge or Douglas. As for Bell,
nothing can save HIN from being sold out in this
State except possible unwDlngness to buy on the
part OF both Democratic factions.

coon ADVICE,

In the course of some remarks to the young
ladies who graduated on Tuesday from the Mount
81. Vincent Academy, Archbishop Hughes made
the following excelleI suggestions:
Although Of the utmost importance young ladies' that
Won should have good educson should mpshed cu
yste graceful and refined yet there other things that
not be sight Of Before another year rolls around purpose
10 arrange with the Sisters for branch Of study Ia the
Academy That branch OF study Is what the French call the
Of cuisine the scence of keeping house. and that
We all know with the Kitchen Every young lady
don't she be Qutens daughter ought to understand
that department Of e Even though she not have to
ce SHE may be able to hire her cook yet she should
hers, may happen day that the cook
will dismiss her. lGr.at lsught.r What predcsuent
would be in then. Well what going TO say that the
Sisters should that all the girls of
enabled spend portion OF the time In the Kitchen
and become acquainted With cooking and housekeeping Here
will be bureau OF education. Laushter We shall then
have the theory and some practice too"
The only criticism We have to mske upon this
little speech of the Archbshops relates to the as
sumption that young lady can possess good
education and be ignorant of the science OF
" cuisine" A young woman should never be con.
sideIed to be well educated until she is thoroughly
yersed in the art aud mystery OF housekeeping.
There are many things which it is very well ts &C
schools but this one thing should be considered in
dlspenssble. Music, French, rhetoric algebra,
The use of the globes, and q variety Of other
studies which are made the usual staple of school
instruction, are always harmless and sometimes
useful. But of more value than all of them is
the art of creating hOme-the knowledge Of
every detail of housekeeping, and the application
thereto Of the secrets of economy and good order
which are evolved Like some curious work from
subtle machinery under the hand of the mistress
who understands her calling. We hid good nature
to be of the 6rst of Christian virtues and good
housekeeping one of the first of Christian duties.
Whtre the two are conjoinec degree of grace is
attained which does more than all other outward
circumstances can for human happiness. Truly
the Archbishop is good shepherd in providing that
bis lambs shall be protected by a thorough house
hold education from maDy wolves that may come
to their doors in afrer,hfe.

Now that Breckenridge is rising rapidly in the
popular scale, we had some expectation of seeing
the Hon. j. Brooks and the Hon. w. Hunt on The
platform at the Cooper Institute last night, along
with the Sage Of Bnghamton, the Hon. A. Schel,
The Hon. +. b. Hari, a. the other shrewt pOlit-
ciaIs who were Their. cODgregated. Probably,
however, Brooks ano Hunt, did Dot feel themselves
at lib, riy to take such step until their Committee
OF thr, two should give them authority. Perhaps,
on the WI ole, it would be best for j. b. to stay 10
the Doulls camp while w. II makes the bargain
with Breck'ir ridge. Then all that would be neces-
sary to give completeness to the whole transaction
would be for their great leader to cheat both the

MEXICAN AFFAIRS,

The return of Mr.. McLane from Mexico, in dis
gust at the failure Of his treaty, appears to have
opened the way for another diplomatic effort at the
pacifcatioD of that unhappy country. 1t lie stated
that the French and English Ministers are about
to insist upon suspension of the warfare carried
on between the two contending parties, and the
meeting of National Congress for the arrange.
mebt of some permanent sy.tem for the future.
II is not very easy to understand what these
Ministers can have, beyond mere persuasion and
argument, for bringing about the proposed suspen.
nof aims; nor docs it yet appear that either
party is weary of the contest. The fighting seems
to be going on vigorously in the Interior,
though of the details of Miramon's mo 'ements
siDce his march nOrthward We have little
distinct information. Notwi hstandng the def, at
