A WoMAN's REvENGE.-The Buffalo Courier
tells the following


The following singular occurrence is runor-
ed as having taken place within the last few
days "A young man residing In town, who
has been regular visitant at the residence OF
young lady citizen, and whose attendance up
on the same, was understood as prelude to an
eventful proposal, was sitting BY her side at
the family tea table on late evening, when
during the course Of rather jovlal conversa-
tion, the mother Of the lady turned upon him
with the smiling question: "When are you
and NJ going to get married " The gen-
tleman responded, with an appearance of great
establishment, that he had never entertained
any such intention, and proceeded to joke upon
the idea. The young lady Immediately arose
without word, and went into room adjoin-
ing, from whence she shortly returned, with q
bottle OF vitriol in her hand, aud without q syl-
liable or gesture Of warning, dashed the terrible
fluid into the unsuspecting face of him whom
she had supposed her lover, sheckingly dsfg-
uring bis features, instantly destroying the
sight Of one eye, and injuring its fellow hope
lessly. This most barbarous result Of lovers
disappointment is, we think without modern
equivalent.

He seems to have started with the ideas that
prevailed in l849 and '50-that the gold lays
on the top of the ground everywhere or
that the new conner has only to intimate
that he is willing to work fcr wages and he
will be besieged at ence by crowd all anx-
ious to secure his valuable services, at any
wages he may demand. 1t takes but little
experience in the country, however, to con


vince him that such expectations are shade
too rosy for the day of bis coming. He
finds that the gold lays great way under
the ground and ia very small quantities, at
that, and is to be had only by the severest
toll that employment is difficult to obtain
and wages small However, he should not
be discouraged. If he be determined to
succeed he can do SO. Let him set about
doing whatever may offer, even at the cur
rent wages, and if he persevere, practice in
dustry, economy and temperance, he will

A fig for your upper-ten girls,


With their yelvets and satins and laees,
Their diamonds and rubies and pearls,
Their milliner figures and faces;
They may shine at party or ball,


Emblazoned with half they possess,
But give me in the place of them all,
Ny girl with the calico dress.
She Is as plump as a partridge, and fair
As the rose in its earliest bloom;
Her teeth will with ivory compare,


And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free and as light


As the fawnis whom hunters hard press.
And her eyes are as soft and as bright,


Ny girl with the calico dress.
Your dandies and foPlings may sneer,
AT her simple and modes. attire,
But the charms she permits to appear


Would set whole iceberg on fire!
She can dance--but she never allows,
The hugging. the squeeze and caress;
She is saving all these for her spouse,


Ny girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful, warm-hearted and true,
And kind TO her father and mother;
She studies how much she can do


For her sweet little sister and brother.
If you want companion for life,


To comfort enligen and bless,
She is Just the right sort for wife,

The following remarks upon Lovcjoy's brutal
speech in Congress are from that just. conser-
vative and impartial Northern journal, the
Boston Courier. They are eminently truthful:


ave have read with great disgust the speech
delivered by Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, in the
House Of Representatives, April 9Th, on the
wearisome and interminable slavery question:
Disgust ITSELF however, is an emotion that has
distinctions and degrees. There is an active
disgust and passive disgust: quick disgust
and dead disgust: a disgust that stirs and
disgust that paralyzes. The disgust that Mr.
LOvejoy inspires is Of the latter kind, for his
speech is as stupid as it is brutal. Mr. Lovejoy


is first a blockhead and then ruffian. Read
ing his speech is like sitting through play
which is SO bitter bad that the desire to yawn
and the desire to hiss keep up an 'irrepressible
conflict in the muscles of ones face. The sta
pie consists of the dreary, notwithstanding trash
the inane commonplaces-the obvious moral
truisms-the sentimental half truths-whch
form the basis ofpretty much every anti-slavery
speech it was ever our bad fortune to read; en-
bellshed with fustan defamation and tawdry
rhetoric, such as it would be an insult to any
sophomore to call sophomore There is in the
whole speech not one token or sign Of the states
man; no recognition Of the essential difficulties
of the question; no intimation of any practical
solution of the tremendous problems involved
in the subject of slavery; there is no knowledge,
no grasp, no moral thoughtfulncss; it is, in
short, from beginning to end, an erucation Of
bad manners, bad taste and bad temper


And Mr.. Lovejoy's purpose and aim in MAX
ing the speech were as bad as the speech itself
He had no other intent than to exasperatc and
intiame the Southern MEMBERS to arouse their
evil passions, to provoke ill-blood to SOW strife
between the North aud the South. And in this
Christian, humane and patriotic object he ap-
pears, naturally enough, to have succeeded
In the course of his speech he was constantly
interrupted; and the Interruptions were ex-
pressed i'll language as intemperate and often
sive as his own; and by the time he had got
through, the hall of the House of Representa-
tives was the scene of passions not higher in
dignity and dccorum than those awakened by
drunken brawl in grogshop or a brothel


Are not such things humliating? Are they
not degrading? Shall we never live to see the
end of them? Will the North never cease to
send to Washington such shallow, vulgar brawl-
ers as Mr.. Lovejoy? Will the South never
learn the true way Of dealing with them, in
case they should be sent? These men would
be nothing, if the South would but lay aside
| their unwisc sensitiyencss and irascblity All
their prosperity lies in the storm of recrimina


tion they awaken. Assail them with silent
contempt, and they will go out like a tallow-
