DESIGNATION OF TEE sAsBATH.-A CORES

DESIGNATION OF THH SABBATH.-A correB-
pondent of the Missis,ippiau writes:
One ofths most lamentable and alarming
signs Of the times in cur struggle for liberty,
| is the unparalleled Dissertation of the Sabbath
day that day which GOD has commanded to
be kept holy. Men may sfect to. scorn such
old fashioned Puritanism and avail themselves
of every frivolous excuse for violating this
sacred day, but we have more to fear FROM
this and kindred evils that prevail in our land,
than we have from bankruptcy, starvation, or
all the boosted armies of the anemy.
"a A SrocK SeRxoN-A young man on
the eve Of going to Australia, heard his father
preach from the text, Adam, where art
thou ?"
On his return, after q long absence, he
vert on the first Sunday, as wa5 proper, to
his fathers church, when the. old gentleman
read out the same text, "Adam, where art
thou ?"
Mother" said the son, who was something
of q wag, has father not found Adam yet p
rs. The same ladies who would faint to
see q mans shirt OF . clothes-liae will, in a
waltz, lovingly repose their beads on the bo-
som IF the same garment, when the Daan IL
in it!
Gx Only bachelors shonld belong to
clubs. Hercules gave up his club when he
married DejaneirA and all good kusbanda
should follow bis example.
aD- Lady Mary WORTHY Montague used
to say that the only thing which recouciled
her to being g woman was that she would
hcyer DO obliged to marry one.
-"Do you think, Sir, that this bill ia
good enough to pass 2"
. "Why, it isa't worth much, butthen Ills bet.
ter than half the bills that pass Congress-.
pa A contemporary, noticing tho appoint
-ment Of . friend as postmaster, says = :
"If he attends to the mails as well as be
does to the females, he will make a very at
tentivc and efficient officer"
Il There is a man il ATgiers who tells
such good stories tina. his friends say it is
dangerous to walk with him in The forests,
for oil the hyenas come round him to laugh.

YANKEE WoMEN.--The Boston Advertiser
says that Massachusetts has one hundred thousand
more women than men. If it had not been for
the blockade, $4,000 of them would have been
sent South as yankee school marms. What bles-
sed thing it is that the blockade shuts out some of
the ills of life as we'll as Of the good things.
Save us ever hereafter from the lank, lean, atten-
uated sharp -nosed, thin Tipped, cod fish, onion
and molasses fed Yankee school marms. If the
only cuts off that supply it will be cheap
enough. A yankee ir pantaoons is bad enough,
but Heaven defend us from Yankee hoops end
calico-Cdroltna Times.
We hope yankee school mistresses will never be
permitted to operate in the South again Let the
public frown any school that employs them
1t is stated that party of ten yankee females
have recently located along the Mississippi River
TO teach negroes. Of course they believe in the
misccgenation doctrine (white and black people
ntermarryiDg) and it will not be long before they
arc welded to some buck negro. AS they not
permitted to seek white husbands in the south
many of them will take colored gentlemen.
