Warm perfume for yapors cold

in the revival of tho Book Of Vaga-

of their Language, originally edited by
Martin Luther in 1928, in the most
stormy periods of his life, to warn his
readers against the articles of this class
of rogucs (among whom he probably
had an eye to tho begging Friars). and
now translated and edited by the pub
Usher, Mr.. j. Camden 1Iotten, an in-
tclligent old bookseller of London.

The Reason Why.

Do you wish to know the reason
Why your ncighbor often calls
On the dnshing widow wilkins,
And attends her to the balls
Why his carriage is seen stopping
At some noted clothing store,
Aud the widow goes shopping
Where she never went before?
If yom wish it, will tell you-
let me whisper to you sly
If they esteem it proper,
1t is not your business WHY.
Would you like to know the secrets
OF your ncighhor's house and life ?
How he lives, or how he doesn't,
And just how he treats his wife?
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrowiml or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play?
lfyom wish il, will tell yOu-
Let me whisper TO you sly
1fyour ncighbor is but civil,
1t is not your business WHY.

MYSTERY OF TIE AMERICAN LAKEs.-
Lake Erie is only GO or 20 feet deep,
but the bottom Of Lake Ontario, which
is 500 feet deep, is $50 feet below the
tide level of the ocean, or as low as
most parts of the Gulf of st. Lawrence,
and the bottoms of Lake Huron, Mich
igan and Superior, although their SUR
face is 80 much higher, are all, from
their vast depth on a level with the bot
tom of Lake Ontario.
Now, us the discharge through the
river Detroit, after allowing for the full
probable portion carried off by evapo-
ration, docs not appear by any means
equal to the quantity of water which
the three upper great lakes receive, it
has been conjcctured that a subterr.-
mean river may run from Lake Superior
to Huron and to Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is by no means improbable,
and accounts for the singular fact that
salmon and herring arc caught in all
the lakes communicating with the st.
Lawrence, but in no others. As the
falls of Niagara must have always exist
cd it would puzzle the naturalists to
say how these fish got into the upper
lakes without some such subterranean
river; moreover, any periodical obstruc-
ton of tho river would furnish not
improbable solution of the flux and in
tlux of the lakes.-[Ex.

81 passed your house lately, Mr.. Ran
dolph." ~ hope you always wilt" was
the reply.
An other one twitted him as to his
want of education" Randolph said in
reply
"The gentleman reminds me of tho

gomery, which are poor BY nature, and
cultivation entirely ruined them"

shame to our country and age; and we
call upon Congress to take prompt and
efficient measures for the total and final
suppression of that exccrablc traffic.
TENTH, That in the recent vctocs, by
their federal governors, of the acts of
the legislatures of Kansas and Nebraska,
prohibiting slavery in those territories,
we find practical illustration of the
boastcd democratic principles of nom
intervention and popular sovereignty,
embodied in the Kansas-Ncbr,slla bill
and Il demonstration OF the deception
and fraud involved therein.
ELEVENTH, That Kansas, should of
right, be Immediately admitted as a
State under the constitution recently
formed and adopted by her people, and
accepted by the House Of Representa-
tivcs.
TWELFTH, That, while providing rev.
cnuc for the support Of the general gov.
crnmcnt ly duties upon imports, sound
policy requires such an adjustment OF
these imports ns to encourage the de-
vclopmcmt of the industrial interests of
the whole country; and we commend
that policy of national exchanges which
secures to the working men liberal WA
gcs, to agriculture rcmuncrating prices,
to mechanics and manufacturers ;,n ad-
cquatc reward for their skill, labor and
enterprise, and to the nation CONNER
cial prosperity and independence.
THIRTEENTH, That We protest against
any sale or alienation to others OF pub
lie lands held hy actual settlers, and
against any view of the free homestead
policy which regards the settlers a'
paupcrs or suppli.mts for public bounty,
and we demand the passage by Com
grcss of the complete and satisfactory
homestead measure which has already
passed the House.
FOURTEENTH, That the National Re-
publican party is opposed to any change
in our naturalization laws, or any State
legislation by which the rights OF citi-
zcnship hitherto accorded to cmiyr'ntS
from foreign lands shall he abridged or
impaired; and in favor of giving Il full
and efficient protection to the rights OF
all cl:lSScS Oh cttiZcIS, WUc(IcT iHuNN vi
naturlizcd, both at home and abroad.
FIFTEENTH, That appropriations by
Congress for River and lIarbor in,-
provcmcnts of national character re-
quircd for the accommodation and sccuri-
ty of an existing commerce, arc author
izcd by the Constitution, and justified
by the obligation of government to pro-
tcct the lives and property Of its citizens.
SIXTEENTH, That railroad to the
Pacific ocean is impcr,tively demanded
bv the interests of the whole country ;
that the federal government ought to
render Immediate and efficient aid in
its construction; and that, as rrelimi-
nary thereto, Il daily Overland Mail
should be promptly established.
SEVENTEENTH, Finally, having thus
set forth our distinctive princi pies
and views, We invite the cooperation
of all citizens, however differing on
other questions, who substantially agree
with us in their athrmancc and support.

party, and that he would advocate any measure

and further, that Mr.. LincOln's sentiments In re-
