BAGGAGE TRAIN. Is Eeligion Beautiful t Always ! in the child, the maiden, the wife, the mother, religion shines with ft holy, benignant beauty of its own, which nothing of earth can mar. Never yet was the female character perfeet without the steady faith of piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth ! they are like pit-falls, dark in the brightest day, unless the divine light, unless religion throws her soft beams around them, to purify and exalt, making twice glorious that which seemed all loveliness before. Religion is very beautiful in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty. We never enter the sick chamber of the good, but soft music seems to float on the air, and the burden of their song is: "Lo ! peace is here." Could we look into thousands of families today when discontent fights sullen with life, we should find the chief cause of unhappiness, want of religion in woman. And in felons' cells in places of crime, misery, destitution, ignorance we should behold in all its most terrible deformity, the fruit of irreligion in woman. Oh, religion I benignant majesty, high on thy throne thou sittest, glorious and exalted. Not above the cloud, for earth clouds come never between thee and truly pious souls not beneath the clouds, for above these is heaven, opening through a broad vista of exceeding beauty. Its gates are the splendor of jasper and precious stones, white, with a dewy light that never flashes nor blazes, but steadily proceedeth from the throne of God. Its towers bathed in refulgent glory ten times the brightness of ten thousand suns, yet soft, undazzling to the eye. And there religion points. Art thou weary? it whispers "rest up there there forever. Art thou sorrowing joy." Art thou weighed down with unmerited ignominy? "kings and priests are in that holy home." Art thou poor? the very street before thy mansion shall be gold." Art thou friendless? "the angels shall be thy companions, and God thy Friend and Father." Is religion beautiful? We answer, all is desolation and deformity where religion is not. Tobacco Chewing in Public. The private mastication of tobacco, in one's own home, parlor, bed-room, or kitchen, as the case may be, is an affair to be settled between one's wife and one's self. We do not intend to interfere' with the police regulations of the home they are in abler hands than ours. If indulgent wives choose to have their door-steps and balcony floor dis

colored, their carpets ruined, and their parlors and bed-rooms irrevocably defiled with tobacco juice if they relish the contact with their own mouths, of lips that have been all day saturated with yellow saliva if they like the smell of tobacco scented breaths, coming from between dirty and disgusting teeth we have nothing to say. Bat we have a right to protest, and we do protest, against the outrageous public nuisance of tobacco chewing. No man has a right to go to a theatre, or any other public gathering, and, seating himself in the midst of cleanly christians, squirt out at random, streams of tobacco juice, around him. To do this in those parts of the house where only men are placed, is in the last degree rude and thoughtless; but to carry the revolting practice into the presence of ladies into the drees circle of the theatre, the concert saloon, the church pew and it is habitually done in all these places. This is harsh language but it is true, and we mean it. The solemn fact is, that our national manners sadly want looking to. Dickens, and all the rest of them, have been more than half right, notwithstanding the absurd malignity with which some of their criticisms have been served up. We are, we fear, on the whole an uncleanly ; nation, having a morbid abhorrence of water. We let our beards and hair get ragged and unkept, and we do not trim our nails. Our teeth are horribly neglected, notwithstanding that there is a dentist at every corner, and of course this, together with the onions we eat, and the tobacco we chew, makes the breath unendurable. ; We are uncivil, even savage, in our manner of speaking to each other of not getting out of one another's way on the sidewalk in our shops, our counting houses and offices in the habitual contacts of every day life. This is true, and there is no use in denying it, nor attempting to bully about it, by saying that Democrats have no time to attend to such insignificant affairs that in a republican country we do not estimate men by their manners and all the usual trash of this kind. If republicanism and democracy consists in a boorish want of personal cleanliness and neatness in the neglect of all the delicate offices and refined courtesies of personal intercourse in a contempt for the convenience, the feelings, and the lights of others then we do not hesitate to say that no gentleman can be a democrat. But it is no such thing far, far from it. The more entirely all restraint is removed from the human soul, the more beautiful and harmonious ought to be its action. To deny this, would be an insult to the Creator. And when we see or hear of people who justify their rudeness or their dirtiness on the ground of democracy, we feel it our duty to regard them and to treat them as the worst enemies that real democracy and soJ liberty have to contend against. Democracy will have discovered its true mission, only when it teaches mankind the beautiful and sacred obliga tions springing from the absence of all force the obligations of gentleness and refinement, which, self-imposed, in obedience to the fine and exacting spirit that lives within every human breast, are more binding and more sacred than all the laws that mere intellect can invent, or force attempt to execute. Baltimore Patriot. i$We notice to-day the arrival of the canal boat Eclipse, with a large and valuable cargo of pig.iron, shipped from the furnace of Messrs. Downing, Rose, Peck & Voorhees, in Green couuty, this State, and Consigned to E. J. Peck, Esq., of Indianapolis. Our friend Major Downing, the agent of the Company who by the way, informs us that the company are making extensive improvements, in building and preparing to build other furnaces, and that their prospects were never more flattering than they are at present; both ore and coal being found in great abundance in the immediate vicinity, and that they expect during the coming Spring, to employ an additional force of two hundred men; but the Major, who is a great advocate for temperance, says that none but sober men need apply. Terre Haute Journal. man says, that the first thing that turned his attention to matrimony, was the neat and skillful manner in which a pretty girl handled a broom. He may see the time in which the manner in which the broom is handled, will not afford him so much satisfaction. jCfTTThe last instance of modesty is that of a young lady who refused to wear a watch jn her bosom, because it had hands on it.

Popping the Question. Jedediah Hodge was dead in love with the beautious Sally Hammond, but owing to unconquerable feeling of diffidence, he had never been able to screw up his courage to the sticking point requisite to enable him to inform her of his predilection. Three several times he had dressed up in his "Sunday-go-to-mcetling fixius," and made his way to her father's house, determined this time to do or to die. But, unluckily, his courage oozed away, and became small by degrees, and beautifully less, as the politicians say, till, when lie was fairly in her presence, he w as barely able to remark that it was a warm evening. Sally got tired at length of this oft reiterated observation, and resolved to help him out of his predicament, for, like a true woman, she had not failed to perceive what Jedediah was trying to come at, but couldn't. For the fourth time Jedediah came, but did not succeed

any better. Sally commenced her attack by in forming him that Marv Somers, an intimate friend, was going to be married. "You don't say so," said Jedediah, that being the only idea that occurred to him except one, and that he didn't dare give utterance to. "Yes," said Sally, "she's going (o be married next week. It seems rather queer that she should be married before me, considering fhe's a ear younger." Jedediah's heart leaped up in his throat, but he didn't venture to say anything. there was a pause. "Jedediah," resumed Sally, after a little hesitation, "I'll tell you something if you will promise certain true that you won't never tell anybody." "No, I won't" said Jedediah stoutly, proud of the confidence reposed in him. "It isn't much after all, said Sally,-casting down her e3'es, "only a dream; and I don't know whether I ought to tell you, after all, though, to be sure, there was something about you in it." "Do tell me," pleaded Jedediah, his curiosity overcoming his bashfulness in a degree. "But I'm afraid you'll tell after all." "No I won't, certain true. I hope I may be' horse-whipped if I do." "Then don't look at me, Jedediah, or I can't tell it I dreamed that that you and I I never can be able to tell you were going to be married the day before Mary Somers." Jedediah started as if struck by a galvanic battery, and shouted enthusiastically, "so we will, by gosh, if you will only say the word." Of course Sally was astonished at this sudden application of her dream, and could not believe that he was in earnest. At length she yielded her consent, and her dream was verified at the altar in less than two weeks. Wonderful Sport. We don't say where the following took place, but that it did occur there is little reason lo doubt, if we may believe the Concord (N. H.) Daily Patriot; from which pader we quote: A gentleman invited a city friend, whose gunning had been unhappily confined to the frightening of "peeps," sparrows, and such small fry, to his place in the country, where, he said, some fine duck shooting was to be had. On the morn ing after his arrival in the rural districts, the cit proceeded, before his host was out of bed, to the lake in the vicinity of his friend's domicil, where seeing half a dozen ducks taking their morning dip in the cool element for there was no ice at the time he levelled and let fly at the lot, when four of them gave up the ghost by the impulsion ot the hrst shot. The other two ducks flew to ward the land, and both were winged by the second discharge. The host came to the spot by that time, and saw his old drake and his harem entirely used up; and turning to his friend he cooly said: "If you have any taste for wild boar hunting I have a splendid Jitter of pigs in the sty behind the barn." - The sportman's eyes were then opened; but it is dangerous to talk to him about ducks since. SSiT Kossuth has addressed a long letter to the London Times, which concludes with this language: "The fact is that Poland is now ' garisoned by 300,000 men, precisely because six months ago it has not been attacked by landing a Polish expedition, backed by the 12,000 French who made the promenade to the Baltic. Poland had then not a garrison of 300,000 men, but some 60,000 only, chiefly raw recruits and invalids, which force could not have been much increased at that time, with St. Petersburg and Finland in danger from your Baltic fleet, and from the possibility of Sweden joining you upon the condition of Poland beiiij; called to arms, and on the other hand, with the Russian army on the Danube beaten, and the Anglo-French-Turkish forces, 220,000 strong, pushing up Bessarabia after the beaten Russians. Now there are 300,000 men in Poland; but that is an argument in favor of my views, as expressed first at Sheffield, June 5, and last at St. Martin's hall. That is precisely the fact which justifies my sayintr, that Poland will be your Sybilline books; that Ihree of them are 'already lost; and that you will be brought to pay for the last three the" full price at which you could have purchased all the nine some months ago." JZ3T "Young man, do you believe in a future state?" " In course I does, and what's more I intend to enter it as soon as Betsy gets her weddin"things ready 1" ... "You mistake me. Do you believe in a future state of rewards and punishments ?" " Most assuredly. If I should cut mugs with a led-headed woman, I should expect my hat indented by the first cistern pole she could lay her hands on." "Go to, young man, you are incorrigible. Go to." " Go two ! If it wasn't the law agin bigamy, darned if I wouldn't go a dozen. But who supposed, deacon, that a man of your years would give such advice to a person just starting in life." This took the deacon down. Distress among Operatives. The New York Tribune, after a careful inquiry into the facts, estimate that among the recent iron workers in New York, one-half have been discharged, and of those retained the greater portion work only half the lime. Two-thirds of the printers are out of employment, and two-thirds of the stereotypers, and almost all the type makers. . Of the bookbinders, only two hundred out of one thousand are retained. It is estimated that builders have not one eighth the work now that they had last year at this time, and that out of the seven thousand masons in the city, only one thousand have work. . Wages last year were 82 per day, now they are $1,50. Two-thirds of the hatters, and one-half of the tailors, are without work, and six thousand sewing women do not know where their next job will come from. " - Every man owes it to society to become rich, for the poor man's advice is never heeded, let it be ever so valuable. Throw a doubloon on the counter, and every one will want to hear it ring. Throw a cent down, and its voice would attract as little attention as a poor relation.

Sagacity of an Elephant. We passed an elephant working on a road, and it was most interesting to watch the half-reasoning brute; he was tearing out large roots from the ground by means of a hook and chain, fastened round his neck with a species of collar. He pulled like a man, or rather like a number of men, with a succession of steady hauls, throwing : his whole weight into it, and almost going down on his knees, turning round every now and then to see What progress he was making. Really the instinct displayed by the elephant in its domestic state is little short of reason in its fullest sense. There is no doubt they do think, and also act upon experience and memory, and their capacity seems to increase in an extraordinary degree from their intercourse with ma The remarkable nicety and trouble they take in squaring and arranging the blocks of hewn stone when building a bridge is incredible, unless seen; they place them with as much skill as any mason, and will return two or three times to give the finishing touches when they think the work is not quite perfect. They retire a few yards and consider what they have effected, and you almost fancy you can detect them turning their sagacious old noddles on one side, and shutting one eye in a knowing manner, to detect any irregularities in the arrangement. Tht Bungalow and the Tent,

The Printing Office has indeed proved a better College to many a poor boy, has graduated more useful and conspicuous members of society, has brought more intellect and turned it into practical, useful channels, awakened more mind, generated more active and elevated thought, than many of the literary col leges of the country. How many a dunce has passed through these colleges with no tangible proof ot fitness other than his inanimate piece ot parchment; himself, if possible, more inanimate tnan Ins leather diploma 1 There is something in the very atmosphere of a printing office calculated to awaken the minds and inspire a thirst for knowledge. A boy who commences in such a school, will have his talents and ideas brought out; if he has no mind to draw out, the boy himself will be driven out. New York Globe.

Some people have a prejudice against widows, but for our part we never could tell for what. ' Girls will do very well in their places, but one widow is worth half a dozen of them any day. Girls are so shy, so timid, so reserved, so. bajiful. rery few of them know how to make love, and when they do understand it, it is awkwardly done; but widows understand the whole process; they know when to ad vance and when . to retreat; when . to lay siege to a heart, and when to attack it by storm. More cases have succumbed to the dazzling bright eye of a widow, clad, in weeds, than were ever taken by the dreamy, melancholy orbs of maid-! enhood. Believe us, there, is more real danger in the dark and waving tresses of a bereaved one of twenty-two, than lurk in llie golden locks of girldom. " Adolphus gets Inspired. "Dearest, I will build thee a cot all covered with ivy. in some secluded vale, close by a purling brook, meandering over its pebbly bottom, incessantly babbling in dulcet tinkling strains 'love, love, love;' where the atmosphere is redolent of soothing spicy aroomas, that makes the. eyes languish, and the heart disolve in the liquid fires of love: Where the balmy morning zephyrs sigh in the dense forest.s leafy maze, chanting love's melody where the. tiny songsters that whirl in ethereal space warble naught but love. I will plant thee a garden of gorgeous loveliness, culled from nature's most ardent designs, warmest tinta, and sweet smelling incense.". ; ' ' ; JKWln North Carolina, it is frequent, among her forests of fat pine, for a lover in distress to send the fair object of his affections a bit of its staple vegetable production, with an eye painted upon it. This signifies, "I pine."; If favorable to him, the young lady selects from the wood pile the best and smoothest specimen of a knot this signifies, "I pine not." : But if, on the other hand, she detests him, (there is no middle ground between detestation and adoration, with young women,) she burns one end of his message, and this generally throws the young man intodes-. pair, for it means, "I make light , of your , pjning", , '. ,'. J3TO, let me die in the country, where I shall 1 not fall like a leaf in the forest unheeded; where those who love me need not mask the heart to : meet the careless multitude, and strive to forget : me ! Bury me in the country, amid the prayers of the good and the tears of the loving; not in r the dark, damp vault, away from the scented air ' and the cheerful sunshine; but in the open field, among the flowers that I loved . and cherished while living.
