MUST MISSOURI GO WITH SOUTH
CAROLINA

Missouri is the greatest and most prosperous
of the Slave States. She gave the largest pop
ular vote at the last Presidential election. She
has more elements of wealth than any other
She is really manufacturing State to a large ex-
tent She has coal fields which would supply
the world iron ore unsurpassed in richness and
amount. She is soon to be great wool growing
country, and is contiguous to the great sheep
walks which will extend to the base, even to the
tops of the Rocky Mountains cotton near at
hand; provisions to any amount either within or
near her borders; and will, at no very distant
day, be capable of manufacturing for the whole
continent A Southern Confederacy would not
only cripple her present manufactures, but de
stroy her future prospects by imposing the insup-
portable barriers of direct taxation and admitting
European goods free of duty. This, however, is
what South Carolina and the Cotton States pro-
pose to establish They will unquestionably,
demand the reopening Of the African Slave trade,
which would not only ill Southern Couhederl-
cy with hOrdes of savage and cannibal slaves, but
rednce the price of slaves in Missouri to $50 or
SIOO per head Is that what We want? The
secessonists admit that they have seldom lost a
slave by him or her escaping to Free State
They do not desire to remove their negroes from
a climate almost tropical, to our cold and bleak
Territories. What then is there in which any
portion of the people of Missouri can sympathise
or agree with South Carolina or the Cotton
States? Is this State to be carried by the Cot
ton States like tail of a kite, wherever they
may GO even into civil war and rebellion p

Morbid Nervousness.

The morbid nervousness OF the present day
appears in several ways. Ii brings man sOme-
times to that startled state that the sudden open
ing of door, the clash Of the falling fre-irons,
or any little accident, puts him in a tutter How
nervous the late Sir Robert Peel must have been
when, few weeks before his death, he went to
the Geological Gardens, and when amonkey sud
denly sprang upon his arm, the great and worthy
man tainted! Another phrase of nervousness is
when a man il brought to that state that the
least noise or cross occurrences seems to jar
through the entire nervous system-to upset
him, as We say; when he cannot command his
mental powers except in perfect stiffness, or in
the chamber and at the writing table to which
he is accustomed; when, in short, he gets fdg-
ety, easily worried, full of whims and fances,
which must be INDUCED and considered, or he is
quite out of sorts.
Another phase of the same morbid condition
il when a human being is oppressed with a
vague, underlined fear that things are going
wrong, that his income will not meet the demands
upon it, that his chid's lungs are affected, that
his mental powers are leaving him-a state Of
mind which shades rapidly off into positive i'll
sanity. Indeed, when matters remain long in
any of the fashions which have been described,
suppose the natural Examinations must be dis
ease of the heart, or shock of peralysis, or in
sanity in the form either of mania or idiocy.-
Numbers of commonplace people, who could
feel very acutely, but who could not tell what
they felt have been worried into fatal heart dis
ease by prolonged anxiety and misery. Every
one knows how paralysis laid its hand upon Sir
Walter Scott, always great, lately heroic. Pro-
tracted anxiety how to make the ends meet, with
large family and an uncertain income drove
Southey's first wife into lunatic asylum; and
there is hardly more touching story than that
of her fears and forebodidgs through nervous
year after year. Not less sad the end of her
OverwrOugh husband, in blank vacuity; nor the
like end of Thomas Moore. And perhaps the
saddest instance of the result of an Overdrawn
nervous system, in recent days, was the end Of
that rugged, honest, ~vnde,ful seniue, Hugh

WARM BATH WAGER - THE CUES.
TION OF ENDURANCE TESTED.

Smith was man who never permitted himself
to be outdone-he could do whatever any body
else could. Smith met Brown in a bath room,
and Brown, knowing the others peculiar conceit,
said that he Brown could endure hotter bath
than any living man. Thereat Smith fired up,
and bet was made. Two bathing-tubs we're
prepared with six inches of cold water in each.
The fellows stripped, and separated by cloth
partition, each got in and let on the no: water at
the word-the wager being who should stay in
the longest with the hot water running. Smith
drew up his feet as far as possible from the boil.

BY this time Smith was splurging about like a

"Hot as the devil" replied Brown; but

"The hel's fire you can :" shrieked the nov

DEATH BY SUICIDE OF HARVEY MCALPIN OF
PoRr HURoN--We learn by the Sarnia Observer
the particulars of the death by suicide, at Port
Huron on Wednesday of Mr.. Harvey McAlpin,
well known to many of our citizens as the former
law partner of Mr.. Wm T. Mitchell, of Port hu-
ron. He called a. the Post Office in the morn-
ing, and got two letters, one of which he opened
and after reading a few lines of its contents,
thrust both into his vest pocket, and hurried
homeward. On his way he called at Mr.. Has
lett's, and asked that gentleman if he had pis-
tol, "a he wanted to shoot cat that was haunt
ing his premises, and which was very trouble
some Mr.. Haslett stated that he had not the
instrument required; this led to call at Mr..
Travers' where similar story was told; and the
latter having the desired weapon, loaded it with
slugs or ball, at deceased's request. He then
proceeded home, embraced his children, retired
to his room, and discharged the contents of the
pistol into his chest, the shot taking effect lit
tie below the heart. He lived about an hour af.
ter committing the fatal act, and able to con-
verse for about half of that period. On being
questioned as the cause which led him to destroy
himself, he begged to be asked no questions, nor
would he assign any reason, so that the cause is
matter of conjecture. Some attribute il to that
strange Observation-Disclosures which beth
the deceased and his wife had become victims.
She is now away on lecturing tour IN Ohio on
that subject. Others think the embarrassed state
of his circumstances prompted the act. The
letters he received might have afforded some
clue to the mystery, but these are not to be
found. Possibly the parties who wrote them
may be able to state their purport, and this may
afford clue; but, in the meantime, all is dark
Four children-two girls, respectively Is and /;

thrown on the world. The deceased himsel
was about SO years of age, and had a good rep
utation as professional man.
