paper, takes mp the signs Of the times in
the State of Tennessee, for consideration.
and after noticing the apparent Efforts of
certain northern papers TO antagOnize the
status of the Tennesseans on the slavery
question, makes the following comments I:
The tone of the democratic press which
Is thus spoken OF, and the tone of the dem
oeratIc politicians in the eastern states, on
the subject of slavery, is indeed 70 be de-
plored by every patriot, aud bY every friend
of humanity aud justice. They are en-
deavoring 70 organize the democratic party
on mere pro slavery ground. With this
view they raise an outcry against the en-
istment of eolored troops, sneer at the
whole negro race, and endeayor to excite
low. lived prejudices against them I; they
keep up q perpetual howl against the pres
dents proclamation; they make greater
outcry against the aboihonOf slavery than
they do against treason aud rebellion. They
seem more anxious that the right 70 en-
slave and Cypress colored people should
be sacredly preserved to the rebels, than
that any other right should be cared for.

Nov We warn these eastern democrats
that the great mass of the democratic par
" are getting heartily sick of this subser-
viency to the slaye-holdiug traitors. They
do not believe in any arist0cracy, not even
an aristoeracy of !slays-hoIders or slaNe=
breeders. They think that true democra,
cy requires sympathy for the oppressed
aud doBntroddeD. Above all, they hold
that labor and laborers are entitled TO re-
spect, and they do nottancy the idea of an
aristocracy that stigmatizes the northern
laborers asmudsitLs, and endeayors to make
all labor degrading, and treats lsborers as
an Inferior caste. 20 .
The truth is, that through the influences
of such men as Frank Pierce, Coy. Sey-
/ mour, Tom Seymour of Connecticut, and
other eastern democrats who are with
them, in subservienCy to the interests o.
slavery, the democratic party is becoming

The PeGlar's Story.
BY CLINTON NORWOOD.
MAEH VALE.

do not naturally think am super
stitious; but | have all my life been
troubled by kind of super-auricular
sense. BY this I wish to to convey the
idea that | hear things over and above
the natural sense of hearing. The
sound, as of a human voice, comes to me
and syilables words Of meaning, when l
know that no human being is near, and
that the whole must be some kind Of
mental deception. Sometimes these
words are Of common import, and some
time Of deep significance. Well do
remember that once, when quite lad,
living at home with my parents in Paris
I heard the words spoken in my ear as
it were;
"Pierre Boisant, prepare for sorrow!"
was alone in my fathers library at
the time, engaged in solving difficult
problem, and therefore in no condition
for this to be the effect of an excited
fancy Or imagination.
What followed? My father at that
time was accounted rich merchant.-
Three weeks after he was bankrupt.
If had been the most imaginative man
in the world could not have presaged
this.
Three years later heard the same
words repeated. | was then alone on
the road to Troyes, engaged in the hum
bic calling Of pedlar, to which my ia
ther's misfortune had reduced me. l
felt that something serious was about
to happen, and | took the first convey
ance back to Paris. l FASTENED to my
fathers then humble lodgings and found
him dying, and NY poor mother almost
distracted with grief. She was sur
prised to see me; but when l told her
what brought me home, she said ii must
be the voice Of the Lord. l did not
agree with her in that respect, because
| often heard that same voice saying
triling things.
Well, my father died, and my mother
did not long survive him, and then I was
alone in the world. Seeing nothing
better for me-at least nothing that
better suited my disposition for a con-
slant change Of scene-I resumed the
humble business Of 4 pedlar, and, after
two or three years spent in France,
went TO Sardinia and established route
for myself among the retired villages in
the mountains, where, at least, | was
looked upon as in no wise inferior to the

LANGUAGE OF INsECTs.-A most
singular discovery, the whole credit of
which appertains, We believe, to Mr..
Jesse, is that of the antenal language
of insects. Bees and other insects are
provided, are provided, as everybody
knows, with feelers or antcnnae. These
are, in fact, most delicate organs Of
touch, warning Of dangers, and serving
the animals to hold a sort Of conycrsa-
ton with each other, and to communi-
cate their desires and wants. A strong
hive Of bees will contain thirty-six
thousand workers. Each of these, in
order to be assured Of the presence Of
their queen, touches her every day with
its attennae. Should the queen die or
be removed, the colony disperse them
selves, and are seen in the hive no more,
perishing every one, and quitting all the
store Of now useless honey which they
had labored so industriously to collect
for the use of themselves and of the
larvae. On the contrary, should the
queen be put into a small wire cage
placed at the bottom of the hive, so that
her subjects can touch and feed her,
they are contented, and the business Of
the hive proceeds as usual. Mr.. Jesse
has also shown that this antennal power
Of communication is not confined to
bees. Wasps and ants, and probably
other insects, exercise it. If a cater
piller is placed near an ants nest, a
curious scene will often arise. A soil
tary ant will perhaps discover it, and
eagerly attempt to draw it away. Not
being able to accomplish this, it will 60
up to another ant, and, by means of
the antennal language, bringit to the
caterpillar. Still, these two are per-
haps unable to perform the task of NOV
ing it. They viii separate and bring
III reiforcements Of the community by
the same means, till sufficient number
are collected to enable them to drag the
caterpillar to their nest.

Mr.. PUScA AND THIS GIRLs.-So
you think, young ladies, do you, that
men Ike slim waist! Well, so they
may, perhaps fit be one Of natur's
moulding. Bat when nature makes a
slender waist, she makes it 1.-THE and
lissome, AMI that is what your stay
makers by no at can accomplish. When
a man has the coed fartune to get hold
Of girls waist, he likes to feel it soft
and yielding, and not buckramed and
bone-stifened. Moreover, men before
proposing are apt to look ahead bit :;
and as much as they value good looks,
they put higher estimate upon good
health AMI good temper. Now large
doctors bill IS often caused by small
waist, and so q wife who has this latter
proves a dear one to her husband. Then
as to temper, nature wont be outraged
with lmpumty, and II you dlStort the
body the mind soon grows disfgured.
So pinched frame is avenged by a
peeyishness Of temperament, and wo-
man with a wasp's waist is generally
waspish.
So, ladies, dear, kind, silly; thought
less, loving, lovely ladies, do let com
mon sense for once gain admittance to
the fashion looks. Follow the example
which, if the above report be true, has
been set you by the French, and throw
aside your stays and other instruments
Of waist torture. Believe US (and Tom
Moore that however much We may a..
mire pretty dress, We cannot look up
on it with pleasure when it Is laced so
tightly that

dcte Of the late Eugene Delacrox's "a |

"Allah !" exclaimed the Turk, Who'd
crossing his arms over his breast and
taking his leave with a sorrowful air,
quilted the room. About an hour afteI
NJ. DelacroiX left his cabinet, and Oh
crossing the ante-room, was surprised
to see the envoy publicly seated, in the
Eastern fashion, and appearing to be III
a reyerie. Going up to him, the Min
lister said:
'Have You forgotten to mention
something to me, that You are here ?"
''No; but | am waiting

Turk, turning his eyes towards Heav-

NJ. Delacroiz laughed, and 50 hear
silly that the Turk lost all hope Of wit
Messing the drama he was expecting
He rose up disappointed saying:

that he may not divulge the State Sc
