Good HHunlOr.

Only move along in the world with youl
heart and hands open and You will find scores
of individuals whose smile will speak to that Of
yours, and whose hands will be eager to grasp
ypur profercd welcome. I make these the
conditions because much depends upon. the
mood nan is in, whether he perccves in
another thosc qualities thatare lacking in him
self Any one inclined to grunblc at the dis
appointment and yeyations Of life will soon dis
cover that the society i'll which lie moves is
speedily innocnlated by the contagion. and
that they in turn are prone to aggravate his
spcnctic mood by venting their hatred upon
him as the cause of all their disconcntment
l have frequently met with those who, on
the spur Of the moment, | had voted the
plcasantest people in the world, simply from
the fact that was in the best of humor with
myself on the occasion, and therefore in the
excess of my joy, was unable to be in any but
the, best OF hunor with others; and so from
this personal experience l have argued that
when we are disposed to find fault with others
the cause of the fault fGs4aently lies within
ourselves.
Good hmnor is not to be acquired without
somewhat of sclfsacrfcc. There are asperities
in, our nature, possible innate, that years of
patient toll and watchfulness only can smooth
down. For instance, there are some mouths
that seemingly were formed for nothing but
poating, as others are apparently incapable Of
anything but distributing smiles and kisses. To
that the former in order to receive the cordial
reception Of the latter named, must bc taught
TO soften down line or two and cut loose
from all such tangling alliances. Friendships,
BY and by, are never so lasting as when cm-
Dalmcd by the recollection ola sunny smile and
l warm kiss.

% badly crippled in one of his limbs as to al
most entirely confinc him within doors, is vet
possessed of one OF the most humorous tenn
'cramelts ever met With. To sure, he has
lis sad moments as lie often confesses vet still,
It his business and in his family, he is the
ncarnation Of good humor, and thus, in
measure nitlgates the knowledge Of deforlni-
that otherwise would be painful to contem-
nate.

The Cincinnati Platform,

Hon. Benjamin T. Haett, Of Massachusetts
I. the author Of the Cincinnati Platform, has re
| Gently written a letter to the editors of the
Mobile MercurN which throws much light
upon subject which has. heretofore been q
bone Of contention between the Northern and
Southern Democracy. His construction Of the
instrument is in direct opposition to those
who hold to the principle Of "unfriendly cgs-
lation" by Territorial Legislature, with slave
ry in the Territories. Read what Mr. Hallet
says: - Confederation.
Il have but another word to say upon the
reference made by your correspondent to that
resolution in the Cincinnati Platform which he
charges upon Mr.. Hallett as conceding the
power to Territorial Legislature to abolish
the institution of slavery. That resolution
reads thus:
That we recognize the right of the people
Of tile territories, acting through the fairly ex-
pressed will Of 4 majority of actual residents
and whenever the number Of their inhabitants
justites it, to form Consultation aUiM or u1M-
mt domestic Slavery, and be admitted into the
Union upon terms Of perfect equality with the
other States
The right here recognized is that Of the
people Of Territory to farm a Constitut,on
wiM or aciMout domestic xiurery. 1t recognizes
no act to be done touching slavery, b. the
people Or the Legislature OF a. Territory before
the forming Of Constitution, bnt declares that
ache" they have adopted Constitution with
or without slavery, then they arc entitled to be
admitted into the Union.
This was and is the Democratic doctrine
against the "freesoi" dogma of "no more slave
States, and this is the precise principle which
was laid down by Mr.. Calhoun in his resolution
in the Senate in ls47, viz:
That rs fundamental principle in our po-
litical creed, people forming Constitution,
have the unconditional right to form and adopt
the government which they may think best
and no other condition is imposed By the Fcde.
raj Constitution on State, in order to be ad-
mitted into this Union, except that its Constitu-
ton shall be Republican; and the imposition
Of any other by Congress would not only be
in violation ofthe Constitution, but direct
conflict with principles OH which our political
system rests
With this exposition, and with no disposition
70 question the motives or purpose Of the author
Of Southern Confederation" am content to
cave the publicly expressed opinions of Mr.
tlaIct for twenty years, upon the slavery
ssues," to the Judgment Of the whole brother
lood Of Southern and Northern Democrats,
who mean to maintain "thc equal righFs of all
lie States in all the Territories" ard uphold
he Constitution and the Union. He has
.othing to as K OF them but their good opinion.
x. Very respectfully yours,
B. F. HALLET.

The Right kind of IL Wife.

New York editor says he had an ntroduc-
ton recently to the. heroine of the following
sketch - n ..r,
Mr.-,a merchant, now residing in. Phil
adelphia, who formerly lived in rather an ey-
trayagant style, was in the habit, every Mon
day morning, of giving his wife a certain sum
OF money for the table and other household
expenses of the week; he never mentioned his
business to his wife, and she deening him suf
fsently capable of attending tohis own affairs,
never inquired into them. About five years
after marriage, through some slight mismanagc-
ment, and the rascality Of his confidential clerk,
Mr.--suddenly broke, and his fall was men
toned 'sympathizngy" on change, and, like
all such matters there all sympathy ended.
The merchant kept the affair secret and the
irst intimation his lady had of it, was news
paragraph in the Ledger. Shortly after dinner
was over, on the discovery Of the startling fact
Mrs.-rcquested her husband TO remain in,
the paror few moments, as she had some;
thing to say to him. She then leftfhe room,
hurried up stairs, and shortly after returned
with a splendidly bound Bible in her hand.
Handing it to her husband, she said,
George, the day after our marriage, you
gave me this precious book as token of your.
love, and as rich fountain to look to in the
day Of trouble. Its pages have been precious
to inc; aud rs your brow looks sad to day, L
now retnrnsit t. you, that you may CLEAN from
it some consolation in the hour of gloom" She
then left the room. 80 -,
The merchant opened the book carselessly,
and a bank Till fell out, He picked it up and
glanced Mt its facet was q $40 bill He
opened the book again, and another note Of
the same amount was before him. lie opened
it at the first page, and continued an X bet

commencement Of the book of Revelations.
He was saved-could commence business and
had a capital Of some $4,000.
He rang the bella servant appeared.
"Reqncst your mistress to comoSto Inc immo-
diatcly,' said the merchant.
The lady. obcyed, entering the room with
something between tear and smile,
"kate! Kate where did gou procure all
this money!" @ ~
"Ihis is the weekly saving Of our household
expenses for the last five years." was the modest
reply. "Every week put ten out of the twen-
ty dollars which you gave Inc into our R;blc

us, we shouIdhave something to save lis fronfss
