DIR. BRowNsON WITH THE PRESIDESr-
DIR. y. A. Brownson, the eminent Catho-
lie, aud editor Of "Brownsou's Review, -
had an interesting conference with the
President on Saturday. The questions OF
Emanci patton and Colonization were dis
cussed ut length. DR.. Drownsou agreed
with the President on the subject of Col.
onization but urged Emancipation as a
means Of saving the country. and as a
step which must be taken before Coloni-
cation on a large scale could become
practicable.
The talk of the President was in a
hopeful strain. lie said that he was not
fully persuaded that it was Yet time to
proclaim Emancipation. but DR.. Brown
sou infcrs from the tenor of his remarks,
that if the next battle in Virginia results
in decided victory for our arms, a pro-
clamaiion emanci pating the slaves OF Con
federate' in North Carolina. South Caro-
lima, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-.
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas aud Arkansas,
will be forthwith issued.
AS he was leaving the room DIR. Brown.
sou asked the President if he couli give
him any definite expression of opinion in
regard TO the time when Emancipation
would be proclaimed, upon which the
President took up newspaper and read
from it his letter to Mr.. Greeley.

Cancellations Of Adversily.

The man who has been overtaken by res
verses need not look far abroad to see that
{ system Of compensation is pretty gener-
ally dealt out in this life. Set him adrift in
the world, with scarcely dollar; let him
walk, almost beggar, through the same
street he once trod, man Of wealth almost
overwhelmed by the force of bitter recol.
lections. In proportion as other days
were happy will these be miserable. AZ
Dante has truly said, the memory of form-
er joys, so far from affording relief to the
wretched, serve only to cmbitter the pres
ent, as they feel that these joys have forever
passed away. But unless his lot be one of
edge Of sorrow, he must be devoid of both
philosophy and religion if he does not feel
that life with mere competence still has
many joys. 1t is unquestionable true that
ones style of living has not much to do
with the sum Of his happiness, though this
is said with no disposition to undervalus
even the luxures of life So from the fin
est house in the city having the greatest
air of comfort about them, think rather
the reverse is the case No dwellings have
snugger look than many of the plain
two story houses in all our cities; no chill
dren merrier than those who play around
their doors; no manlier father than thoss
who struggle bravely for their support
One would suppose that Stafford House,
with its wealth Of pictures and furniture,
and its beautiful views over Hyde Park,
must contain much to add to the pleasures
Of its possessors; but probably the sum Of
happiness enjoyed by this noble family has
been very little increase by these things.
believe that palaces are more envicd by
'outsiders' than enjoyed by their own
ers. In proportion to the number Of
each, probably far moro of those dread
ful tragedies that cast ineffacable gloom
over whole families, have occurred in these
splendid houses than in palmer ones Our
Fifth Avenue, with all its grandeur, is ono
of the glcomiest looking streets in the
world, as strangers generally remark
But as all preaching is vain against many
besetting sin, so will all the talking in
the world do little to convince men that
happiness does not lie in externals. One
generation does not learn much from it's
predecessors in this respect; it seems TO
have been intended that each should ac-
quire its own experience. The task Of
talking beforehand is therefore an unprofi-
table one but it is satisfaction to feel
that when much that is thought indispen-
sable has been taken from us, there still
remains that which can afford us happi-
ness. Continental Magazine.

With bound that would have beer
creditable to the Ravels in their palmies,
days, he lsaped over tanning mill eludc
the grasp of his client; who had broke,..
from the wheelbarrow, and by the aid o!
the almost impenetrable darkness, succeed
ed in hiding himself in lumber yard till
near morning, when, stealing himself dowE
to the levee in his almost nude state, ht
ran on board of small steamer, and beg
ged the clerk, in the name Of pity md hu-
manity, to give him a passage down the
river to some town Ave hundred miles from
st. Paul. He would give no explanation o!
his undressed condition, but only begged
to be secreted until the boat was at least
hundred miles down the river.
On coming out Of his state room the
next morning, when the boat was near La
Crosse, he was informed by the smiling
clerk that there was bundle .. clothing
and trunk in the office for him, placed on
the boat at st. Paul, with his address, BY
Lawyer Spotless, a man of fine character,
but no education.
II thank him for my baggage" gaspej
the student, turning pale at the recollection
Of the midnight scene in the barn "but
these Minnesota lawyers are worse than
savages. They'll gamble, smoke, drink
rum, and murder in the court room, and
cut the throat Of an educated man with as
little compunction of conscience as they'd
stab toad. I've heard it said that Saint
Paul is beautiful place. 1t may be in the
day time, but it is an awful place in the
night. And if it is healthy place for in:
valids, it is an unhealthy one for lawyers.
I'm an educated lawyer myself. I've had
my first case in Mime sofa, and it's my
last"
On arriving at La Crosse, he went to
Brick Pomsray," Of the Democrat, and
tried to get him to publish the story of his
St. Paul experience, but "Brick" iniig-
nantly replied:
"Caut do it, my boy! 'Fraid taint trues
It's too funny for reality, and the Democrat
never deals in felton,
Being determined to relate his experience,
however, he then hired hall and advertis-
ed Lecture on Emigration; and after he
had received at the door nearly enough to
cover his expenses, the Deputy Mayor
stepped up and exclaimed:
Have you got license, sir, for this ere
show ?"
This is not show, and I have ne H.

"Well, want ten dollars, and don't
care a red whether you call it show or ar

"But my dear friend"
"Don't but me, sir know what ths

And so he mzzled; and when on the
point Of returning home to old Essex, by
overland easy stages, on foot, was met by
his former friend of the boat, who explain
