A TRADITION 6F TUB ARABS.—King Nimrod one day commanded his three sons to enter his presence, and he caused to be placed before them by hisslaves three sealed urns. One of the urns was of gold, the second of amber, and the last of clay.— The king desired his eldest son to choose among them that which appeared to contain the greatest price. The eldest chose the vase of gold on which was written "Empire." He opened it and found it full of blood. The second chose the amber vase, on wheh was written "Glory." He open" ed it and found it filled with the ashes of men who had been famous upon earth.— The third took the remaining vase—that of clay. He opened it anil found it empty but in the bottom of it t!*e potter had written one of the names of God. "Which of the vases weighs the most?" demandad the king of his court. The ambitious replied, the vase of gold the conquerors, the vase of amber the sages answered and said, "the empty vase, because a single letter in the name of God weighs more than the entire globe.

AN AWKWARD SCRAI'S.—A man In Pittsburg accidently spilled some oil on a bundle of bank notes. To remove (he oil he rubbed the notes with a solution of potash, which had the efiect of removing the signatures of the officers of the banks.

Frightened at the probable loss"*of the money, he filled up the notes again, writing therein the names he had so incautiously removed. Upon presenting the notes at the bank, the writing was detected and the mnn was arrested. Fortunately for him, however, several gentlemen were cognizant of the facts, and he was released —the banks redeeming the notes, vc

THE CRADLE AND THE OLD ARM CIIAIR.— No house is complete without "two pieces of furniture—the cradle and the old arm

The .two loves which watch the cradle and •serve the chair are one. But how different in all their openings and actions. To the child the heart turns with more tenderness of lovei To the aged parent, love is borne upon a service of reverence. Through the child you look forward—through the parent you look backward. In the child you sec hope, joys to come, and a brave ambi tion, and life yet to be drawn forth in all its many sided experiences.

I \sckinlat that—

"JYhen the editor of the Journal, doff* his arrogance,, and pats on only as little pretension as the merits of one of double his mental calibre would deem himself entitled to, he can hare a discussion upon any subject1 he likes. I treated htm with every respect, and in return for such treatment, in bis very first line, by getting off two epithets of abuse, he gets off two falsehoods. I am not aware that ignorance is ever allowed as a good plea, and, therefore, I say "falsehoods."

I T-:ECCLESIASTICUS,

O^rThe British Government has "sequestered" Oude, with its four millions of inhabitants. If such an act of territorial aggression had been performed by the United States there would have been an universal outcry against out fillibnsteri§m When the people of the United States want te enlarge their territory instead of fillibustering, as in India, they honestly pay for it. They gave fifteen millions of dollars for Florida, about twenty millions for California and New Mexico, and ten millions for the Mesilla Valley. In additon to this they gave the inhabitants of the acquired territory a free and better government than they possessed before the exchange. This is the difference between American annexation and British sequestration.

&ET HUME, a literary gentleman, who flourished some time ago, and whose History of England and other works arc very fairly written, once remarked:

Show me the business man, who amounts to a row of pins, that ignores the glorious benefits of a judicious system of advertising and I'll show you a man that don't know what's good for himself.

JCff* Barnum, in his investigation said: "I do not understand the details of credit business—my business has always been in a cash business—'pay before you go in never knew the meaning of the expression, 'bills payable",' until within a year.

TRUE.—Please cut this out and paste it up. A sensible man says: 'My confidence in the power of advertis ing is such that were I engaged in the wood trade I would advertise the superiority of my kindling wood over that of any other. If you have an article to sell, let the people know it, and you will find a customer,".

A fiOOD SUGGESTION.

MESSRS. EDITORS:—Since you have predicted the possible and probable declination of Mr. Fillmore, and that, too, upon seemingly strong grounds, I beg that you will insert the following suggestion for the benefit of the Know Nothings, in the event of that deplorable contingency, namely: that if Mr. Fillmore should decline, George Washington Parke Custis shall be substituted in his stead, so that the ticket shall then read:

For President,

GEORGE WASHINGTON parke custis. For Vice President, ANDREW JACKSON donefeon.

COL. BENTON AND THE REPUBLICANS.— The Albany Atlas, alluding to the slavery question says^ ." 'i,

We may add that we have reliable information that Col. Benton, in personal intercourse, speaks freely upon these subjects, and relies upon the Democratic party of the nation, instead of any new-fangled Republican party, to guard the honor and perpetuate the prosperity of the country. We speak of this, because there have been industrious efforts to use the name arid fame of Col. Benton, as authority in favor of Seward Republicanism, and in justification of secession from Democracy. s-r

THE PAY OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.—A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: '.f:

.'i I

Notice has been given in the Senate of the introduction of a bill providing for the increase of the per diem pay of members of both Houses. Under the present system none but rich men can really afford' to become numbers of Congress. The community generally know nothing of the innumerable demands made upon them, for all sorts of purposes and the expense of living in Washington, as a member is expected to and must live, speedily eats up all that they now receive. .I [understand that it is proposed to fix the pay at twelve dollars per day. I learn, also, that an amendment will be proposed,: giving the members -a fixed annual salary.1 n.v ir «f 1a,

Prof. Silliman of Yale College, then arose and said that he did not hope that3harp's tifles would be pat to the fullest ase of which they are capable but self-defense, especially in the cause of Freedom, as sacred duty. He deprecated the necessities ofthe time which demanded suuh precaution on the part of settlers of Kansas, but he believed in meeting manfully the exigencies, bad' as they might be. He said he desired to head the list for the procuring of a number of weapons of defense of the party setting out, and that therefore Mr. Lines might put down on- the paper, "B. Silliman, one Sharp's it [The price of a rifle was $25.]

Mr. Russell and Rev. Mr. Dutton rose both at oriee. Mr. Russell speaks first: "put me down for one. -dl

Dr. S. G. Hubbard—1one:a Mr. Beecher here stated that if twentylive could be raised on the spot, he would pledge twenty-five more fr6"in Plymouth Church—fifty being a sufficient number for the whole supplv. [Clapping of hands all over the house.]

Prof. Silliman now left Mr. Beecher to speak for the bid, and sat down to enjoy the occasion.

Mr. Killman—T cfive one. Mr. Beecher—Aj7/??irt?2—That's a significant name in connection with a Sharp's rifle. [Laughter.]

Prof. W. A. Norton— one forme.

It was now ascertained, that instead of twenty-fi ve, twenty -seven rifles had been subscribed, the cost of which together with the amount received at the door for admission fees, made the collection for Kansas in the North Church, one thousand dollars.1*

The meeting then adjourned. If a Cff/AofcVClergyman should be found counselling war, eulogising gun powder and collecting Rifles for any purpose batcver, what a howl would be set up by these

same Prodeslan't Clergy against the Papist Priesthood, the Pope and the Devil! O, what pinks of piety and consistency they are. 1 •».

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.—A lady while passing through ona of the frequented thoroughfares of New York* observed a little girl very sparsely clothed in ragged garments, shivering from the effects: of cold and hunger. Interesting herself in the little sufferer, she immediately conducted her to a store, where she purchased some cake. Though she was aware that bread might be better for the child than cake, yet der siring to gratify the shivering forlorn one,, she bought and gave her the cake she wanted. She then took her to another place, where she procured her a shawl and other articles of comfort. The grateful little creature looked the benevolent lady up full in the face, arid with artless simplicity, said, ^'Are you God's wife!"—Did the most eloquent philologist ever employ words to better advantage?

THE DEER AND TIIE SNOW.—So terrible has been the effect of the c'oliand snow on the mountains west of us, th it the deer have become so weak from starvation that they -have been captured in numbers.by individuals who have them confined in their stables for the purpose of saving their lives.— Mr. William Glotfelty has nine in confinement, and., so" fa tire have "they^"become that they will rea'dily eat from the hand.— Cumberland \Md.)

THE.SCHOOLMASTEROF OUR REPUBLIC.— When our republic rose, Noah Webster became its schoolmaster. There had never been a great nation with a universal language without dialects. The Yorkshireman cannot now t'ilkt with a man from Cornwall. The peasentof tlje Liguarion Appenines drives h'ls goats home at evening. oyer hills that look down upon six provinces, none of whose dialects he can speak. Here, five thousand miles change not the sound of a word. Around every fireside, and from every tribunel in every field of labor, and every factory of toil, is heard the sajne tongue. We owe it to Webster. lie has done for us more than Alfred done for England, or Cadmus for Greece: His books.havo educated three generations.

and ex

The correspondent observs: "A buzz of conversation ran through the throng as Mr. Douglas took his.seat, -and almost instaneously scores of fingers were seen among the spectators-pointing'him out to eager gazers. A ilittle preliminary busir ness being disposed of, Mr. Douglas prepared to take the floor but yielded, an instant to Mr., Hale, who in his usual gbodnatured style, observed that as the occasion wasone of special interest, a great number of spectators were present, a large proportion ofwhom were of that sex which" every gentleman loved to honpr, and as they notnot only, felt ja great interest in: the subject but also,- under /the circumstances, (Mr. Douglas is a widower,) in the orator, he, therefore, moved to suspend the., .rules and allow the ladies.to take seats id the lobbies. This movement on the part of Mr. Hale created bland smiles upon the-faces of the ladies, but indignation among the gentlemen, which they exhibited by sour looks and murmurs of disapprobation, very naturally wishing to preserve their seats., Senator Hunter, of Virginia how,ever came to their: rescue he objected Jo Mr. Hale's motion, and it^was .withdrawn." "Mr. Douglas then rose. Ho. was dressed in a suit of black, with his: frodk-co^fc buttoned.jto the chin, and his. thick dark hair swept negligently back from- his massive" forehead. -In a clear,.distinct voice he.lirst' read ^is bill, just introduced, providing fort the organization of a State government in the Territory of Kansas. This ?bill is precisely like others of a similar nature in. itschicf details. Having thus laid do^rn a text, Mr. Douglas commenced tho exordium of ,his speech. I shall not attempt to give an abstract .of the long, powerful and logU cah argument which followed, for space willjnot allow but-I may say, without feeling or favor, thatit was the strongest, the clearest and the most unanswerable vindication of the Nebraska bill—the most scathing [criticism upon Governor' Reeder—Lthe most triumphant vindication of the1 Staterights doctrine^— the severest condemnation of emigrant aid societies and- their conduct, the

constitutional argument that

I ever had thp privilege of hearing.-,.*And-the same opinion was expressed by many of Mr. Douglas' political opponents.'1

THE PACIFIC.—The .New York Times has a statement in relation to the probable course qf the Pacific, and the situation of the ice fields-, which establishes the fact in the estimation of that journal, that she was lost among the fields of ice, and that the pieces of the cabin furniture seen by the Edinburg belonged to her. ,It is melancholy thus to cast away all hope, but the period elapsed warrents the conclusion that we shall never hear from her again.— Whether in the stillness of the night, with a crash and-a groan, she struck some ugly glacier, aild went down before the bubbling prayer could.be uttered, we know not.—Whether she wandered for days in fields of ice, living in hope, yet finally lost without succor, we are unable to tell. Whether she perished with the flame wreathing around mast and spar, and the wild shriek ringing o'er the water, no one will ever discover but the sad fact remains, that in one way or another the bark, precious with so many valuable lives, has been wrecked on the waters. The longing eyes will never again see the father, the husband, the son, and the future will tell no tale of the last hour. ,r

At six o'clock in the morning a salute of IJQO gilns announced the birth of the King of Algeria to the whole population.— The excitement was great and the congratulations general among all classes.

The Imperial Prince was privately christened at noon in the presence of the Lmperor after mass in the eLapel of the luilleries. k*"./ \n-,,I

TRUMBULL ox THE RACK.—In the recent sharp colloquy between Messrs. Douglas and Trumbull, the following passage occurs: '•Mr. Douglas' *'-Was not the'gentleman" voted for by Abolitionists and Know-Noth-r ings from all parts of the State? t/ra

Mr. Trumbull. I. tell him no, to hi* teeth I never was a candidate ofthe Abolition or Know Nothing party. I' have been voted for by members ofthe* American party, and it was so with the-gentleman —but that I was their.„.candidate.....is not true. "This reply of Trumbull is a most singular one in the face ofthe facts shown by the record. .Mr. Trumbull did not receive one solitary vote now acting with the Democratic party. He was the candidate of the uni-k" ted Abolition and Know Nothing opposition,^ and spent the entire winter here juggling to concentrate that force upon himself. lie secured his election by professing to back Mr. Lincoln's claims, as agreed upon in an opposition caucus held here previous to tho meeting ofthe Legislature but he took especial care to have his reserved corpse of five—Messrs. Cook, ,Judd, Palmer, Baker, and Allen, recreant Democrats—without their votes from Lincoln and defeat his election, and thus force the main body of the Black Republicans and Know Nothings to take himself. In this lie succeeded.— It is astonishing that he has now the un-j blushing effrontery to stand up in tho American Senate, claiming to be a Democrat, and denying that'he was the candidate of fused Abolition-Know-Nothing ism. "ITo was not onlv supported by these factions, but he assisted in electing its members to the Legislature. lie aided the canvass, and run upon the same ticket with Gillespie, a Know Nothing leader, and tho latter was a chief manager in securing -, Trumbull's election. His unblushing dcnial of affiliation with tfi4 opposing.- factions will excite surprise in this state, while he will add to the contempt in which lie is held by every fair and candid man.: 11 ia effort to maintain.a position as a Demo- 'v crat at Washington will prove a disgraceful abortion. Ilis pretensions in this behalf. will.be scouted by the Democrats, whil'. lliev cannot gain him respect vijh the f.ictions for which he is laboring."

Sir. I. Richardson, of Boston, proposes to Jbcat the speed of railroads in the transmission of the mails. He claims that ho has invenlc'l a method by which he proposes to commuuicafc between Boston and Washington in an hour. The mo'ive agent is atmospheric pressure. lie proposes to lay down an iron pipe two feet in diamatcr befween distant cities. In this tube, the mail bags are fastened to a piston the is ton is moved to and fro by the action of steam air pump, placed at each cud of the of the pipe. The velocity of the pilon will of course depend on-the movements of the air pump. By incrrasing i.'s pressure air can easily reach a velocity of' two hun.lrcd miles an hour. This matter has been before the country fur more than fivo years, and although its feasibli:y is admitted by some scientific men who have examined its principles critically, yet, there appears to be a reluctance to maka the experiment. Mr. Richardson has renewed his application to Congress for an appropriation of $75,000 to aid him in putting this ball in motion. Why not do it, if the project is feasible? The public coffers are filled with funds, and why not do this much to facilitate the transmission of the mails? The Electric Telegraph received public aid. "Now let the Richardson's project receive like encouragement, provided it is what is claimed for it, and that it will accomplish the object of rapid transit. I
