Tuy AroLrTIoSIsrs OPPOSING ABOLITION
We have not yet seen in any abolition paper
word Of hearty congratulation upon the
strong vote in the Senate in favor Of amending
the constitution 80 as to abolish slavery, or
any effort to assist us in bringing this great
movement to a triumphant conclusion. This
fact conclusively demonstrates the hypocrisy
OF the abolition editors. They do not care to
have slavery abolished. They do not desire to
do away with the agitation about slavery.
They want to keep up the excitement,
in order to keep up their party. They
only wish TO use the negro as q donkey
upon which they may ride into power. They
have always professed q deadly hostility to
slavery; but now, when the proper time
has arrived to abolish the institution In
proper, legal and constitutional way,
they have nothing TO say about IL.

FIVE THOUSAND SAILORS WASTEp.-The New
York County Volunteer Committee want FIVE
thousand recruits for the navy. They will pay
every sailor one hundred dollars if he enlists
for one year, and two hundred dollars if he
enlists for more than one year. They will also
pay premium Of ten dollars to any person
bringing navy recruit to their headquarters
in the Park. All that Jack has to do is to step
up to Captain Blunt's Office and get his money,
cash down. Hitherto this naval recruiting has
been shamefully mismanaged. Secretary welles
has driven at least twenty thousand sailors into
the army, while good ships have been laid up
for want of crews, and naval operations have
been greatly retarded for the same reason
Hts treatment Of the New England sea cap
tains and fishermen lost the navy thousands Of
the best and and most experienced seamen in
the country. Now that the recruiting depart
ment has been placed in ADLER hands, we be-
lieve that New York city alone will supply
the Eve thousand sailors required.

Washington dispatch of the oath inst. says:
The ladies at Willard convened in one of the
large parlors last evening and dispatched mes
senger to Gen. Grant, with the request that he
would give them an interview. He good-natur-
edly came down from his room and underwent
q levee, in the course of which he frequently had
to give his autograph. A smiling request from
one lady to let the crowd go TO the army to see
the grand review was adroitly denied by the
General, with the reply that when Mrs. Grant
should come down for that purpose he would
be pleased to see them also
The persistent dame REQUIRED to the happiness
she had enjoyed at the recent ball in the army
The General was compelled to tell her fatty
that had he been in command, no ball would
have been permitted, and he added that when
he heard in the West that the grand review that
had been alluded to was to be got up for him,
he had telegraphed an order to squelehit and he
said, in conclusion, that there had been too
much of this nonsense in the Army of the Poto-
mac. 1t must be stopped.

CHAPTER w.
MARRIED AGAIN.

Two years are supposed to elapse be.
tween the third and fourth chapters of this
original American romance.
A manly Mormon, one evening, as the
sun was preparing to set among a select
apartment of gold and crimson clouds in
the western horizon-although for that
matter the sun has right to set where
it wants to, and so, may add has hen
"a manly Mormon, say, tapped gently
at the door of the mansion of the late
Reginald Gloverson.
The door was opened by Mrs. Susan
Gloverson.
rs this the honse of the widow Glov-
erson, the Mormon asked.
1T is said Susan.
And how many is there of she?' in
quired the Mormon.
There is about twenty of her, including
me" eourteously returned the fair Susan.
Can see berH
You can
Madam he softly said, addressing the
twenty disconsolate widows, i have seen
part of you before And although l
baye already twenty-five wives, whom l
respect and tenderly care for, can truly
say that / never felt loves holy thrill till
/ saw thee! Be mine-be mine : he
enthusiastically cried, and we will show
the world striking illustration of the
noble lines, only great deal more So
They were united, they were
Gentle reader, does not the moral of
this romance show tbat-does it not in
fact, show that however many there may
be of young widow woman, or rather
does it not show that whatever number
of persons one woman may consist Of,
well never mind what it ShoUS. Only
this writing Mormon romances is con-
fusing to the intellect. You try it and
see.

ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.--A French
physician is out in a long dissertation
IN the advantages of groaning and cry
ing in general, and especially during
surgical operations. He contends that
groaniDg and crying are two grand op-
erations by which nature allays anguish,
ana that those patients who give way to
their natural feelings, more speedily re-
cover from accidents and operations than
those who suppose it unworthy man to
betray such symptoms of cowardice as
either to groan or cry. He tells of a
man who reduced bis pulse from 120
and 126 to 60 in the course of 2 hours
by giving full vent to bis emotions. II
people are at all unhappy about any
thing, let them go into their rooms and
comfort themselves with a loud boohoo,
and they will feel one hundred per cent.
better afterwards.
In accordance with the above the cry
ing of children should not be too great
ly discouraged. If it is Systematically
repressed, the result may be ST. Vitus'
dance, epileptic fits, or some other di-
sease Of the nervous system. What is
natural is nearly always useful, and no.
thing can be more natural than the cry
ing of children when anything occurs to
give them either physical or mental
pain.
Probably most persons have felt the
effect of tears relieving great Sorrow
1t is even curious how the feelings are
allayed by their free indulgence in
groans and sighs. Then let parents and
friends show more indulgence to noisy
bursts of grief on the part of children
as well as older persons, and regard the
ewes and mouth as the safety-valves
through which nature discharges her sur
plus steam.

ANECDoTE.-A scamp who used to
raise particular purgatory about Middle
bury College, had taken a shine to the
daughter of staid old deacon, who used
often TO invite him to dinner. The dea-
con called upon him one day to ask the
customary blessing, and not wishing to
have it understood that there was any
thing he could not do, he made the ef-
fort. Hastily recollecting what he could
of the usual form, he began and made a
good start of it, but finally got embar-
rassed and could not think how to close
it off. 1t was easier to 60 on than to
stop. Making a desperate dash for a
period, he thus wound up: an concld--
sioG, my dear sir, ! remain respectfully
your obedient servant" He Gia 2ct 2ct
dine with the deacon after that.
