A CHOICE.


Shall choose me wife from the city.
Accustomed to fashion and pride.
Or choose me wife from the country,
To cheer up my lone ireside!
I'm not overgood in the choosing,
How, having two maidens in view,
One city, one country--both handsome,
But know not which to eschew. ..... {
The girl from the city is handsome .. ..
In form, and in features and dress;
Accomplished in music and dancing,
And theatres loves to excess.
While she from the country, is handsome
In form and in features alone,
But versed in the work of a farmhouse,
Which for all the others atone.
have riches full many Thousand
In real estates, stocks and hard cash,
But I'd take to my heart . young maiden, q
Who'd not use my fortune a. trash.
But, if I take me a wife from the country,
Unaccustom'd to fashion and pride,
She'll soon learn to lace with the prettiest,
And then she'll have waterfalls beside.
Shall choose me \ wife from the city
ACCUSTOMED to fashion and pride.
Or choose me a wife from the country,

The OLDEST Cry IN THE WORLD
Damascus is the oldest city in the world.
Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on the
| shore; Baalbeck is ruin Palmyra is
| buried in the sands of the desert; Nine
yah and Babylon have disappeared from
the TiSris and Euphrates Damascus re-
mains just what it was before the days of
| Abraham-centre of trade and travel--an
inland of vendure in the desert, "a presi-
dental capital" with martial and sacred
associations extendending through more
than thirty centuries. 1t was near Dam
ascus that Saul of Tarsus saw the light
above the brightness of the sun, the street
which is called Strai in which it was said
she prayeth," still runs through the city.
| The caravan comes and goes as it did
thousand years ago; there is still the
sheik, the ass and the water wheel the
merchants of the Euphrates and the Med
iterranean still occupy there, "with the
multitude Of their wares" The city
boring hight, and was afraid to enter 'bc-
cause it is given to man to have but one
paradise, and, for his part he was resolved
not to have it in this world,' is to this day
what Julian called "the eye of the East"
as it was at the time of Isaih 'the head
of SYRIA From Damascus came the
damson, or blue plum; and the delicious
apricot of Portugal, called damasco dam
ask, our beautiful fabric cotton and silk,
with vines and flowers raised upon
smooth bright ground, the damask rose
introduced into England in the time of
Henry With the Damascus llade, so
famous for its keen edge and elasticity,
the secret of whose manufacture was lost
when Tamerlane carried off the artists
into Persia and that beautiful art of in
laying wood and steel with silver and gold,
a kind of mosaic engraving and sculpture
united-called damaskeening-with which
boxes and bureaus, swords and guns are
ornamented. 1t is still city of flowers
and bright waters; the streams of Leba-
non, and the ''river of gold" still mur
muir and sparkle in the wilderness of
"Syrian gardens"

The Disunionist i'm 1850.

FROM tue New 1ork xTt0une Dec. IL, loou.
If the Cotton States unitedly and ear
nestly wish to withdraw peaceably from
the Union, we think they should and
would be allowed to do so. ANY attemp,
to compel them by force to remain would
be contrary to the principles enunicated
in the immortal Declaration of Independ-
ence, contrary to the fundamental ideas on
which human liberty is based.
From the New York Tribune Nov. SO, 1850
If it (the Declaration OF Independence
justified the secession from the British,
Empire of three millions of colonists in
l776, we do not see why it should not
justify the secession of five millions OF
Southrons from the Union in 1861.
The speech of BEN WADE is as follows /:
But Southern gentlemen stand here and
in almost all their speeches, speak Of the
di sDlution Of the Union, as an element Of
every argument, as though it were pecu,
liar condescensiOn on their part that they
permitted the Union to stand at all. II
they do not feel interested in upholding
the Union--if it really trenches on their
Erights-if it cndangers their institutions
to such an extent that they cannot feel Sc
cure under tiff their interestshre VIOLENT
y assailed by means Of this Union, | am
not one Of those who expect that they
will long continue under it. am not
one of those who would ask them to con-
tinue in such a Union. 1t would be doing
violence to the platform Of the party to
nhich it belong. We have adopted the
old Declaration of Independence as the
basis of our political movement, which
declares that any people when their Gov
ernment ceases to protect their rights
when it is so subverted from the true pur-
poses of Government as to oppose them,
have the. right to recur to fundamental
principles, and if need be, to destroy the
Government under which they lice, and to
erect on it's ruins another more condsulve
to their welfare. l hold that they have
this right. 1 ,oiN not blame any people .to,
exercising 1t, whenever they think the con.
tingency has come X You can
not forcbly hold men in this Union, for
the attempt to do so, it seems to me, would
subvert the first principles of the Govern.
ment under which we live."
The moral of which that the radical ma
lignats have dozen threats of disunion tc
answer for where one allusion to the sub
ject ever escaped from Democrat.
