CORRESPONDENCE,


The letter OF your aged friend in the Amer

notice, it being characteristic OF his mind and
the Versatility of the party he boasts of follow

10 what he is really aiming at ultimately We
cannot tcl;for his party creed will not allow Of
his taking position and holding to it,as 1t is a
party OF progress = but we are shown
enoughby this letter aud other democratic wri-
tings, that, in this campaign. that falsely
named party, depends entirely ior success, in
its ability to lead its northern voters to go it
blind for slavery! Not stopping to look at
the inevitable result Of success or progress

has always been the profession OF his party

and that occupied by the republican, free

ago, and how is it nov That example affords
conclusive answer.

WoMAN.-Place her among flowers,
foster her as tender plant, and she is a
thing of fancy, waywardness, and some
times folly annoyed by a dew-drop,
fretted by the touch of butterfy's wing,
and ready to faint at the rustic of bee
tie; the zephyrs are too rough; the show
ers too heavy, and she is overpowered by
the perfume Of rosebud. But let real
calmity come-rouse her Affections
enkindle the fires of her heart, and mark
her then; how her heart strengthens it's
self-how strong is her purpose. Place
her in the heat of battle-give her child,
a bird, anything she loves or pities, to
protect-and see her in relativ e in
Stance, raising her white arms as shield
as her own blood crimsons her upturned
forehead, praying for life to protect the
hopeless.
Transplant her in the dark places of
earth-awaken her energies to action,
and her breath becomes a healing-her
presence blessing. She disputes, inch
by inch, the stride of the stalking pesti-
lence, when man, the strong and brave,
shrinks away pale and affrighted. Mis-
fortune hats her unot; she wears away a
life Of silent endurance, and goes forward
with less timidity than to her bridal. In
prosperity she is bud fall of odors,
waiting but for the winds of adversely to
scatter them abroad-pure gold, valua-
BILE, but untired in the furnace. In short
woman is miracle-a mystery, the GEN.
ire from which radiates the great charm
of existence.

Not long since in South Carolina, acler-
gyman was preaching on the disobedience
OF Jonah, when commanded to go and
preach to the Ninevites. After expatia-
ting for considerable length OF time on
the truly awful consequences Of disobedi-
ence to the divine commands, he exclaimed
in voice of thunder, that passed through
the congregation like an electric shock:
"And are there any Jonah's here?"
There was negro present, whose name
was Jonah, who thinking himself called
on, Immediately arose, and turning ur
his white eye to the preacher, with the
broadcast grin and best bow, answered:
"Here be one, Massa."

AN AcToR.-Among the number of
theatrical adventures started every year
on the stage, there are few so wise as to
know for what parts Nature has fitted
them. In consequence of this want of
sagacity in them, men who are born, it
may be said, to appear in the lowest
walks of comedy, are vain enough to
think they are formed TO shine in the
highest paths of tragedy. Several years
ago, an actor, who was not in the least
qualified to make figure in buskins,
felt himself bold enough to undertake the
character of King Richard Ill, and he
played the character in SO ludicrous style,
that he failed not to raise laugh when
ever he made his appearance. In his last
scene he was particularly forcible, and
died in so droll manner that he was en-
cored. Flattered with 80 new mark of
dramatic distinction, he started up and
died again, amidst peals of laughter from
all parts of the crowded house.

A DENTISTS VISTA young woman
employed ina factory at North Kingston
R. l, complained for several days of a
severe toothache, and at last left her
room, saying she would go to doctor
and have her tooth extracted. She how.
ever, did not return, and her friends were
unable to trace her to the office of any
doctor or dentist. The anxiety of her
friends had reached an alarming point by
the 18th inst, when it was Unexpectedly
relieved by the receipt of newspaper
containing an announcement of her mar
riage, on the LIST inst, with young man
of East Greenwich.

EVILS OF SALERATUs.-A distinguish
ed physician of Boston, attributes to the
free use of saleratus in cooking many of
the diseases to which children and adults
are subject. To the use of this. deleterious
substance, he attributes the death of one
hundred thousand persons out of the three
hundred thousand under ten years Of
age who annually die In the United
States. Ifsuch an alarming result as
this can be substantiated, saleratus may
be regarded as worse than either intern
perance or war in its effects upon the hui
man race.
The great difference between men, the
great and the Insignificant, is energy.
