The Slidell Family.

John Slidell's second daughter, Miss
Caroline Slidell, is about TO marry Ba-
ron Pfyfier Won Heidegg. What q
strange destiny this family has. had.
John Slidell, the son OF a tallow.chan-
dler OF New York, became clerk in a
merchants office, killed man in a
duel, and became obliged to quit New
York. He went to New Orleans, be-
came a lawyer, obtained large profes.
sional income, which he greatly increas-
ed by lending money and by marriage.
Thoroughly unpriLcipled. he became
useful to his party by his great astute.
ness and interruptions adroitness, and
by sort of admiration these defects
commanded among the rag. tag, and
bobtail Of party. Elected to the United
States Senate after repeated and, as he
thought, unjust postponements, he
made no sort of figure in it, for the
United States Senate was then compos.
ed chiefly OF gentlemen. Appointed
after the secession foreign commission.
er of the Confederate States, he came
abroad, after an arrest on the high seas
by the stupid, laundering zeal of Com
modore Wilkes. He had scarcely
reached Paris when he discarded all
thought of the Confederate States, ex-
cept when he could serve his own pur.
poses, and devoted his energies to estab.
lish and advance his family in this
country. Jealous of all servants of the
Confederate States, especially of able.
efficient men like Mr. de Leon. he

he might keep the whole authority of
the Confederate States in his own hands
that he might the more exalt himself.
He died in England and was buried in
the Isle of Wight-no unsuitable grave
for man who never had a Country or
a friend. His brother, Alex. Slidell,
who in after life added Mackenzie to
his name, was likewise doomed to be
blood-stained.. He hanged without trial
and upon the most himsy pretext, a
midshipman of the navy, aison of John

Hour after hour crept slowly,
Yet on the heaying swells
Tossed up and down the ship-lights,

And the captain from her tatfrail

The tossing lights shone clear:
All night from Keeling taffrail
The Three Bells sent her cheer.

Just as the wreck lurched under,
All souls were saved at last.

When Jacob courted Mary Jane.

And eg 'ry ev ming. lair or rain.
Attired in his best he sought her.
Z She's honest true, apd Kind. said he.
AS she is prettyin her features;
And is she'll only marry me,
Wen be the happiest OF creatures.
!, His parents, hearing how heifelt.
And noticing his eager furry,
Said: '.Son. be cautious, She won't melt.
Don't be in such precious hurry.
Her family are not renowned
For being quite meek as Moses,
And some who married in Il found
No end Of thorns smong the roses.
"t1l try her temper" Jacob cried,
:" In all the ways. by spite invented
But e'er dozen tricks he'd tried.
His own good nature sore repented;
The more he leased, 20 make her mad,
Instead of vixen spunk revealing,
She only seemed as meekly sad
rAs comesof wounded tender feeling.
No longer seeing room to doubt
That She was mild without expression,
Our Jacob brought the question out
And she surrendered at discretion.
ln proper course the wedding came;
with orange blooms and tears and laughter
a bridal tour to crown the same,
And pretty cottage thereafter.
But ali, alas for Jacobs peace!
.iEre. yet the honeymoon was over,
His Mary's temper broke the lease
lie thought he had on life for clover.
From being gentle as of old.
And shedding tears when he'd offend her,
She turned into perfect scold.

Astounded at the fearful change.
And wondering how he had been blinded.

=" How did you take me in that way?
Said she, I'll show you, in the attic"
And then they climbed the garnet stairs,
Till standing under beams unnumbered,
The lady showed. with hooking airs
A ceutral post. with braces numbered:

Mr.. Editor
Please, as a preface to the few words with
which beg to trouble yen, to inform your readers
of the new definition of the word "Absurdity,"
viz.-am opinion differing from our own.
What l wish to say is this, that am as much
interested in the question and have as good an
opportunity of Judging of the wants Of the COM
munity as any Burgher-and l say and my
opinion is supported by many persons compe-
tent to Judge with whom [ have spoken on the
subject that we do want a Governor or Presi-
dent here at the head of affairs-we want some
one to go to, when we are imposed upon by
some of the lesser officials, some Of mh0m are
too fond Of sAowing their authority, to the sacri-
fee of justice and even common sense.
[ shall not enter into particulars mow, but at
another time [ may have occasion to cite in
stances, and in doing so, l shall not have far to
go from the Custom house IN, Basin ito convince
any sensible man-that it is better to have one
responsible Governor than half a dozen petty
