q We see the sentiment in the papers,
and We hear il on tho streets, that the seces .
sionists ere sincere and honest in their trea-
sonabls conduct and disunion movements.
And because they think they have been in
jured, or will be injured, they IRE entitled to
sympathy and forbearance.
John Brown and bis followers were prob.
ably sincere and honest, but neither the
world nor tho government of Virginia ad
mi.tcd the plea in justification or paliation
Of treason and blobdshsd. They suffered
the just penalty u their crimes on the scat
fold.

FOREIGN SHAMs-BogIs French Calieoes.
A few days since the wife of an Eastern
dry-goods jobber thought to astenish her
husband by her exquisite taste in selecting
dress. Appearing at the breakfast table in
a new wrapper, she exclaimed, "Don't you
think this beauty, and only t,0o shilyin9s a
yard-French?" French" exclaimed the
husband, ''that is an American print, which
l am selling every day at nine and half
centsl"
A somewhat siuilar scene transpired at
the st. Nicholas Hotel, New York. A
couple of distingue ladies appeared at the
breakfast table with what they supposed to
be beautiful French calico wrappers, A
mutual acquaintance in conversation re-
marked, that he was astonished at the inn
provement made in American prints of late
years, enforcing his remark by calling the
attention of the two ladies to the quality of
their dresses. "Ohl these are Frenchln they
exclaimed. 81 assure you, Mesdames," i" said
the imperturhable gentleman, "that your
dresses are Manchester printsP The ladies
did not faint, but their elegant French prints
passed into the hands of the chambermaid.
II is this folly which compels the jobber to
afhx French cards to his American prints,
and keeps down the character of American
manufactures. America possesses the means
and skill to compete with foreign countries
in the manufacture of every thing, if we
except rich silks; and when our wives cease
to blush in wearing an American fabric
because it is American-then will our man
ufactures assume the position their excel
lence deserves.

T EXTRAORDINARY REASON FOR SELF-DE-
sTRUcTIoN IN PARIs-A Young Nan Hangs
Himself Because he is a Grocer The Paris
correspondent of the New York Express says
that recently, a grocer's assistant, young
man Of twenty-five. hung himself because
he was grocerl The correspondent adds:
II may here parenthetically remark, that,
for some unexplained reason, the word
grocer is, in France, species of opprobri-
GUS term, and is Synonymous with ignorance
awkwardness and stupidity. You will see a
grocer's opinion of grocers in the letter
which the selfimmolated grocer-istudent'-
left upon his tables"
81 am a grocer, and can never be-" writes
the despairing clerk, "any thing but grocer.
! have constantly before my eyes the carica-
ture which represents grocer standing in
his shop-door, and supposed to exclaim, to
be born man, and become grocerP The
satirist who thus criticised our trade, was
right in his sarcasm. 81.
"During several years past, 1 have endeav-
ored to instruct myself / have read many
books, which have not been able to COM
prehend. All this has muddled my imagina-
ton, and grow more and more stupid; the
further | advance, the more feel my ignor-
ance. Well, as have somewhere read that
man ought to apply his intelligence to pur-
suits useful TO humanity, and as | clearly
perceive that shall never be fit for any
thing but TO sell cheese, soap and dried
plums, have made up my mind to try, in
another world, if can not find different
place"
