HELEN sends rs n communication nm
on the old sweet subject of love. 1t Is full
OF tender sentiments about the constanry
or woman and bitter rcproacl,cs of faith
less man.. If we had room we should en-.
deavor to prove to Hell II that INCONSISTENCY
does not belong to the men alone. AL
though the love and constancy of woman
nave been illustrated from time immemo.
rial, yet sometimes she has been cruel
~ inconstant. Even the fair Greciau
princes, celebrated for her transcend
ant beauty, and whose lovers were
princes such as Ulysses, Ajax, Do
mcdes and McLelaus, was not as con-
slant MS she should have been. and
treated Diophobus most cruelty. She was
named Helen like our correspondent. And
there was Cleopatra, the greatest coqnctte
IN the world-lOw she played with the
hearts of Antony and Caesar and other tel
lows. And Delilall-ah. wicked tlirt.
But then Sampson was Il great fool to trust
far rs he did after she had betrayed
him so offer. Look now at the Hebrew
patriarch, old Jacob, lie was constant.
Dolly Vardens must have been scarce in
deed that he should have lahorcd seven
years for one ana seven years for another.
But, Helen, enough for this time. If we
had room we might publish your tender
words and caustic illusions. We are not
By Il host of years too old to be pleased
with love talk and love itself. And Il great
writer has said that fate is never so cruel
as when it takes from us the power to
please yet leaves us capable of being
pleased. All! since we men can never
cease to love beautiful women, why. oh.
lchy should we lose the power to inspire n
sentiment in return! Why not be
kind. cruel fate, and blunt our perceptions
of the beautiful?

HOTEL AT STEVENSON, ALA.-The tray
cling public are indebted to the enterprise
and public spirit Of Esquire John f. An
dcrSon, of Crow Creek, for as good hotel
rs ran be found in the South. Travellers
have long felt the need of such an ~institu-
ton at Stevenson. as that is the point OF
intersection of the n. q c. and the Mem
phis IL Charleston Railroads; and that
want is now amply supplied by OH fellow
citizen in such style as to give satisfaction
to the most iastidious. This hotel is en-
tirely new. and all the furniture. bedding
and tiXtur S are new. Under the manage
ment of Major Van Horn and lady. it is
proving Il great success. The most i'm
portant feature is the culinary depart
ment. The cooking is done in a range.
by means of steam, and the table is al
ways "upplied with the best the country
affords.
Apropos, we may add that Esq. Ander-
sons home. one mile from the Gepot called
after his hOnored name, is almost equal to
II hotel. as scarcely Il day passes that luc
does not entertain some waytarer on LIES
journey in a so genial and hospita-
BILE as to merit remark and hearty COM
mendation; and he and his kind-hearted
lady are never more happy than when
supplying the wants of the inner man
with all the bOuntics of their muniticcnt
table. Esq. John also takes great delight
in showing visitors his large flock OF cash
mere ~goats-about three hundred in num-
ber-and his fine DloodGd colts. one cspec-
ally. a tine black 3-year old. which, If
properly trained, will some day become Il
rival of Dexter. In a word what is not
produced on Crow Creek is not worth the
cost of production. Aud the energy, pub
lie spirit and charitable deeds of John F..
Anderson will ause his name to be cher
ished and held in loving remembrance rs
long as the beautiful waters of Crow Creek
wind their silvery way through his vast
possessions.

distributed among a large number Of
Offices. The majority of New York

will withstand the shock, including the
other States AID those of that city.

by the fires, their combined assets
amounting to sl57,220,l5 The Stccln.
tor estimates that the insurance losses
by this fire amounted TO 5000, 900, 900.
