What are we Coming Tog

The prevalence of profanity among
our youth as well as those of larger
growth is alarmingly and rapidly on
the increase with the rising generation.
Daily and nightly sensitive ears are
hacked by ribald expressions from a
class Of youths who congregate upon
corners of the streets during the even
ings Little fellows under ten years
of age swear and smoke with reckless
freedom absolutely horrifying to the
passer-by It treaty. seems as if this
habit, which truly be characterized as
as the eminent and chief vice of the
nation, is drifting MS towards the abyss
of moral degradation which shall prove
fathomless. When reckless youths,
not yet in their teens, with cigars in
their mouths aud oaths rolling from
their lips, are conspicuously the types
of our growing life as people, and
what can we expect in the future but
hopeless abandonment to destruction
of our own paths.

The Advantages.

1hEe advantages
The spring trade is about to com
mence, and advertisers should remem
Der that there is but one way Of APP
pealing to the public. Even at this
time steady, persistent advertising
will have healthy effect upon bust
ness. There is a constant necessity
for economy in every family, and few
viii venture into our retail stores ex-
cept when impelled to it by tempting
offers. Our merchants must remem-
Der that more urgent efforts must be
made to sell their goods now than in
times of prosperity, and those who do
rake them find an advantage in it.
trade. has one peculiarity which is
noticed everywhere. 1t is attracted
by show and importantly, and dies
ont through inactivity and dullness.
He who spreads out his goods in a
tempting manner, who pleases The eye
with beautiful pattern, who grace
fully folds the elegant material, can
do nothing unless he is able to attract
the customer into his store, This
must be done through advertisements,
not dull and commonplace, but those
which attract the eye and command
attention. There is a kind of adyer-
Using which naturally draws one
where temptation may overcome his
Judgment. We throw out these hints
for the benefit of those who ought to
have the discretion to profit by them.

AMENDMENT TO THE CoysTIruTIoN.-Toyer.
nor Morgan, of New York, on Thursday
transmitted to the Legislatu of that State
the joint resolution adopted by Congress at its
late session, proposing TO the several State
Legislatures an article amendatory to the
Constitution, providing that amendment
shall be made thereafter which shall give to
Congress power to abolish or interfere with
the institution of slavery in any State within
which it may exist.
In transmitting the joint resolution, Gov.
Morgan makes an earnest appeal to the Le-
gislature to adopt it. The proposed amend
ment, he says, commends itself to the udg-
ment, while it conforms to the sentiment, OF
the people of New York, who have always
adhered to the doctrine of the right of the
States respectively to control their domes tic
Institutions in such manner they may
judge most conducive to their prosperity and
happiness. He further thinks that the Border
States would accept such amendment to the
Constitution as the resolu ton proposes, as an
earnest of the honest desire of the Northern
States to preserve for them for all time their
constitutional rights. e.. -.atE

EXTREME CASE OF srrrKR1se AND DEATH.

EXTREME CASE OF SUFFERING AND DEATH
On the morning of February 9th, one Clark
Brown, nearly sixty years of age, and his
daughter, aged fifteen, set out from Sandaken,
Ulster county, N. Y, for Denning, across the
"Big Indian Forest An unbroken track
lay before them, but their acauain tance with
the woods was such that 10 fears were enter
tanned OF speedy and successful Journey
Before proceeding far, however, they lost
their way, and wandered about until darkness
came on, when they lay down beside log,
and without hre or covering passed the night
The welcome morning came at last, and the
lost travellers resumed their journey, making
slow progress, as the intense cold had so eX.
hausted the old man that he could scarcely
walk Another days futile ramble found
them still in the forest, making prepara tions
for lodging beneath the rocks With true
humane feeling, the girl tore part of the
cloths from her body, and wrapped the n
around the freezing form of her father, and
they passed another night-the coldest of the
season.
On Friday they again sought for some place
OF OF egress, the girl acting as pioneer, and her
disabled father following her footsteps. A
circuitous route led them to the same rock
under which they had passed the previous
night, and where again, wearied and disheart-
ened, they sought for repose. Sleep however
did not visit them; cold and hungry they laid
down, anXlously eWaiting the break of day,
resolved to make one more, and, they feared
their last attempt to escape from their pri-
son. On Saturday the heroic girl beat track
through the snow. and her father crawIed
along as best he could, his legs being frozen
stiff. Nearly despairing they finally reached
a road which led to Hammond Il Co IS tan
merry, at Dewittville, when the girl fastened
for relief for her father Mr. Brown was
soon rescued, but so badly frozen that he sur
vlved only about ten days. The girls feet
were so badly frozen that ampu alton became
necessary, which was done by disjointing one
foot at the instep, and cutting off the toes of
the other. During the whole time Brown and
his daughter were in the woods they We're
without fire, thinly clad, and with no food
excepting two biscuits, which the girl had
fortunately put in her pocket before the out

The whole number of Represen tatives is by
law fixed at two hundred and thirty three,
who are appor toned among the States re-
spectively, by dividing the number of the free
population of the States, to which, in slave
holding States, three-fifth of the slaves is
added, by the number two hundred and thirty
three, and the product of such division (re-
jecting all fractions of a unit,) shall be the
ratio of representation of the several States
but as the number and amount of the frac-
tons among so many dividends would, of
course, in the aggregate, be sufficient to reduce
the number of Representatives below the num-
ber specified, it was provided that the whole
number should be supplied by assigning to so
many States having the largest fractions, an
additional member each for its fraction un-
til the number of two hundred and thirty
three members should be assigned to the seve-
raj States.

ALMOST A MoB.-A CORES spondent of the
Charlotte Bulletin, from Salisbury, N. c.,
says that on the 18th, two free negro boys go,
to quarrelling, when a Magis trate interfered
One OF the boys left, the other stood ground,
and wanted to fght-he struck the Magistrate
and ran. The Magistrate called for help, and
1t came, bat the boy swore he would die be
fore he would be taken. He WAS taken and
tried before Magistrate, who committed him
to await his trial. The excited crowd, how
ever, took him from the officer, and came very
near hanging him. He was hung up for about
a minute, in the outskirts OF the town. He
was then brought back and put in Jail.
