Tliough swiftly Time, with rapid wing?, Has home us from old scenes we knew, Yet memory oft the picture brings In glowing colors back to vie w ; Thn3 early friends remember when, They first a3 schoolboys met ia play, And yet,tho' years have passed finee then, It only seems "the other day."

Appropos of mice: the great Republican Party of Michigan, in its Senateand House of Representatives assembled, have",? after numerous groanings and travailings, been safely delivered of a Senator His political sex is not yet fully determined, but sup posed to bo rather hermaphroditic. P.eports say, "that but lor a softening of the braia" a diseaso of long hereditary standing in the family "both mother and child are" "doing weH." . But who is this mighty, infant, thus conceived and brought forth, and what is to be his mission among us? His name is Za:k. Chandler residence, Detroit occupation, merchant. Hi mission is to represent the Black Republican Party of Michigan in the Senate of the U. S., and to perform such other filthy business as to them shall seem meet. m ' ' t ' . "How are the mighty fidlen!" Michi gan (whose representation has solonghon-. orcd our 'Jbantry's Senate, the name of whose gallant son, Gen. Cass, has so long led in every .noble act of our Republic,) has, under the sway of factious dema gogues, turned traitor to herself; has thrust herself down from her high post of honor, and made herself the reeff of the country. The 4th day of March next. Gem Cass scat in the Senate iä vacated, to bo filled by Mr. Zack.

Tho oije, an ordinary, perhaps I should rather snv a shrewd, business man. with no other knowledge of political science and government, than what he has gleaned from Xewspaperiom, during heated campaigns the other, rfmau of gi tnt intellect, an eminent diplomatist, a powerful tactician, and a familiar scholar in every qualification which mako up . tho statesman. The one, the representative (most worthy representative) of a party whoso objoct is to build up political power on the ruins of their country, who would sever this great Unh n now the beacon lt;ht of tho world and wipe u from tho galaxy fifteen of her brilliant stars The other, tho representative of that party, which embraces in its protection "our country, our xchole country, und nothing hut our country' Such is the contrast! Read, Bepublicans, and rejoice! Mr. Chandler is, as before Intimated, a merchant of Detroit; in this capacity he has made himse no of our richest millionairesthe chief desideratum with that party with which . he is now acting. In 1352, Mr.C. was candidate for Governor, in opposition to our present Secretary of th$ Interior, but was signall v defeated, notwithstanding he is said to have expended 810,000 on the election. . Since that time nothing has been heard from Mr. C, until poor Kama began to bleed. Hero he thought was a fine opportunity to make political capital out of his only, revenue money. Accordingly, he prisi les at "Kansas Aid Societies;" heads specious subscription lists, (which, like the pedlar's razors, were made for a special purpose,) and fr nil of thi;i, aided, likewise by- sundry sums expended in the way of "outsulc Iflps," this worthy gentleman hr3 been rewarded, by V gr-jtcfv.1 constitutes, -with the Senatorsh'p of Michigan for tho term of feix years. ' - e, Truly, Michigan has done it.-and Mr. Chandler has attained tho highes! pinnacle of his political aspirations; bnt he should remcnjbci that- . " "Pigmiesare pigmies still, r Thöugh'plaeed on' Alps:" But enough fo- Mr. C. I. f 'r one, would as soon he would disgrace the seat of Gen. Cass as any other, fcir.ee it must be to. But the evil will eventually be its own remely. Already the sane ones of that party (for many have been reduced to sanity since the ides of last November,) are becoming - sadly disaffected, and are riot loth to disguise their disgust at the proceedings of their im mwulatc party, now that they hold tlie supreme power of pur State. I have heard prominent members
of that party remark f,Ve had better, af ter all, hart sent the old General back." ' Well said, my friends! and ere many eras shall mark our political calendar. many thousands will echo the same senti meat. IIow truo it is that wo never properly rppivebteotir blessings until once deprived of them; nnd then, when with pleading voice- we would fain recall them, too oft they heed us not. If: wo are not careful the growth of this very evil will yet destroy our country. When pride shall take the place of gratitude, and reproaches that of thanks, Liberty and Prosperity, insulted that we should so littlo deem of them, will fleo our shores, and we le left the victims of our own folly. 1 Long and faithfully has Gen. Cass served his country, but .his warning voice will not be heard" among us much longer, age is upon him, and he must soon sleep ith his fathers. Then Time, trhich vindicates the character of all men, will not leave his virtues to perish. Though, now, the slanders and vituperations of our ungrateful oppobition, mij bo heaped upon him, his virtues, and his principles, are destined to triumph; and long after the memory of. hi enemies shall have rotted with their bones, pcans of praise will besunto his name, and like the iVw other brilli inti lights, who have gone before him, his memory shall triumph over rdl calumny, and live forever in the hearts of his countrymen. . ul i ': IOTA.

frequently the wives and daughters of iaen who can ill afford to meet the expense. These are often mechanics, shop-keepers, merchants, in dubt and paying interest on the capital invested in "their business, who are required by some means or other to rais3 fundsfoi this ostentacious and contemptible extravagance. We pity them! when Ave look at their means wo pity them still more: when we see how they are toiling night and day, undermining their health and consuming their physical strength in order to keep matters square, we pity them still more and more; when we behold their wan and hollow cheeks, their careworn countenances, their waning health their disgust, at business, which, with all their efforts and anxiety, fails to realize, a sufficient profit to sustain such an enormous expenditure, we are ready to sit down and weep over their melancholy 'ot. And 3-et, when we consider that thev are too imbecile to assert their rights in their own domicile, to exercise their lawful authority, and prevent such a condition of things, we are almost constrained to exclaim: it serves them right, why don't they rule their household more wisely, and insist on a system of domestic economy that would relieve them from ji slate of bondage which would compare unfavorably even with the most abject African slavery ia the southern States? "What shall we say to the wives and daughters of these doomed husbands and fathers? they to doubt profess to loro the "dear mm." "Whit kind of love is that which makes a slave, a victim, and a martyr of its object? We cannot believe that there is one p?.rtich of true ojj'ectlon in the hearts of those who' can inflict so much
anxic:y, distress and corroding apprehension on their husband and father. It looks like a mere "mockery and we do not believe a word of it, "We can exercise a larjre degree of foibenrance towards female weakness 'and human infirmity in t(eiieral; but ,when health is undermined, comfort is invaded, domestic harmony and happiness are sacrificed, - and most of the great ends of the insii:utionf the home. reiation, r.re utterly dcstioyed. forbearance (vases U be a virtue, and indignation takes i! place." Domestic au lhrri:y should undoubtedly bo asserted on the part of him, whom God in his unerring wisdom hath appointed to be the head of the family. A quaint writer once said, "a passion for dress in man or woman, is an evidence of an ompty head, a vacant mind and a hoP Uw he-m;" whether true or not, it certain ly is ajn indication of a badly educated mind and of perverted heart, inflated with vanity and overflowing' with littleness. When we see a hdy decked out in church or flaunting about tho streets fn costly habilimcnts, sparkling jnvelry,, flowing furbej l"ws, reaching well nigh to her eye3, we i'.ivoluntatily think of her husband; our thoughts instinctively run back to her own domicil, or her husbands counter or workj shop?and all our sympathy flows towards the poor man that has to tug and toil, and wear out soul and body in the management of tho financial department: Are these the sentiments of an antiquated niggard, of a sordidly parsimonious misanthropist, who is behind tho ago and unworthy of hearing? Cishionablo ladies, young giddy girls who think tawdry dress and gorgeous robes give them importance; and upstart dandies and contemptible parvenues may think so," but wo doubt whether sensible fathers and writhing husbands will agreo with them. Let us hear what a foreign writer says on this subject the e ditor of a French paper, respecting a city, in Belgium, probably Brussels; and let it be remembered that neither in Brussels nor in any other city in tho Netherlands, are the ladies as extravagant in their external . adornments aa they are in Baltimore, Boston, or New York. The Courief des : Etats Units says:' . That in the city of Belgium extravagance has assumed such alarming" proportions that the ladies themselves have been objig-. ed to combine fc?' the purpose of arresting its disastrous progress. It appears that extravagance has been for somo years . a source of constraint in f tmilies and it' was noticed no marriages were contracted sinoc the young jnen" frightened at the bills - that loomed up in' the distanco preferred to live in ctlibacv. The mothers recognizing the inconvenienco cf a state of affairs encournwd by theirm-lves have resolved to bring ' hon t- ." .-v .rm and with il-'U viw j they' have- for:u-d'a committee wr.icrfi moots once a week. Tltoy h ive declared open war with pxtra'vaauoi, and every member announces publicly the retrenchments made iu her own honseWld expensi'S? . ' The Morning. : Courier, of Louisville, Ivy., ijicimineiiiing oil jtho above paragraph, remarks: .' "..

daughters of our people are really startling. They appear to be guided by no law of reason, nor of propriety. The cultivation of every! virtue of the. head and heart is neglected, and the passion for dress and display fostered and nourished, as if not only position in society but actual existence depended upon the costliness of appareL We soe hundreds of ladies daily sweeping the streets, arrayed in more splendor than were even the females of the patrician houses of Romo when that city was at the acme of luxury and profligacy. The editor of the Courier thinks that a movement like that alluded to above, is needed in America, and nowhere more than in Louisville Ky. But if on some fair morning ho will take a walk down Baltimore street; or if it be Sunday, pay a visit to one of our fashionable churches, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, he will probably find that the city of monuments is at least a match for Louisville. The Courier Continues: The manufactories of every nation are brought into requisition to supply the foolish tastes, the whims and caprices of womankind. The silks of China, the laces of Belgium, the feathers of Afiica, and the furs of tho Arctic regions, all aro in demand and they are all procured regardless of cost in order that one person may make a more oster.ticious display than another. This rivalry among ladies as to who shall be the most extravagantly "dressed, or rather overdressed, exceeds that between contending aspirants for political honors. It begets pride, vanity, every and all the meaner and more de basing passions. It inaugurates into gocietiy a new test of respectability, and' that person who can flaunt in the costliest robes and dazzle wit the rarest, jewelry is the finest lady. Before the omnipotent behests of f.ishion and dress, fill the advantages of " . talent, of virtue, and oftttuo womanhood must. succumb. " , .s t This unfortunate tone of public sentiment is. productive of mora evils than we generally "suppose.' None can object to those who have largo incomes spending their money profusely iq whatever manner they may choose. But we do object to their setting up a false standard of merit and respectability. Such is the weakness of human nature that many f?ma!es ima"ine themselves lowered in publicestimation if the) are not so well and fashionably dressed as their neighbors. The wives and daughters of men who nro employed- on small salaries thus -enter into all the dissipations of dress, as if they.ad an annual income of thousands i:i the place of hundreds. - . We see every day ladies upon the street so richly attired that we know their husbands are inadequate to meet the expanse. No wonder that many men are thus driven o desperation that they defraud their employers, that they seek dishonorable means by which to maintain the follies of their wives. No wonder that young men, con templating this frightful degree of extravagance that now pervades all classes, shrink from marriage because it would entail upjon them tho support of an establishment -beyond their pecuniary ability." These aro home truths, and this a startling picture, but not overdrawn. Ia there not good sense enough in tho community to bring abbuta reform? The interests of so-ciety-ihe in tercststof humanity all plead loudly for a curtailmeut of tho female extra vaganco of tho da-r. Wo entirely concur with the P,byterian Herald, in partly commending and partly censuring the strictures of the Courier. In most of its positions wo most heartily concur. But when the editor states that "none can object to those who have large incomes spending their money m whatever manner they pleas," hestaies a position directly in the face of all the. teachings of4 the Bible on tjiat subject. Wealth is a talent given to its possessor by God tobe used for history. . The lady Of, wealth certainly may lawfully surround herself with the comforts and conveniences of life, of which others less favored in that respect ought to deny themselves; but she may no spefid her moaey foolishly and extravagantly with any less sin in the sight of God L than any other lady. -Her very position in society ivesher,examp!e a potency which does not belong to that of others, and she is responsible to. God and to society for that example. She should not tempt' others in to sin merely because she has the power, to do so. The Scriptures aro very explicit in their directions tochiiataiu females.upv on this point.. "Whos adörni ii: telh not be that outward adorning of plaining the hair, wel.n rig of gold, or' putting on of ap parel, but'let it be the hidden man of the wealth ding influence in society " are-as' much b'iund tofb5 ."cxampk-'V of.

humbler circumstances. In fact they ought to take the le?-, because they can do it with less injary to their position in society than others. They can inaugurate the needed reformation if they will. Thero is one point in which reformation is specially needed in this country, and that is the style of dress in our churches. We need not adduce reasons to prove that the house of Godi3 no place for display and yet it is ofien mado such, even by those professing to be christians. There the rich and the poor should meet upon a common platform. A dress that would bo perfectly proper on a festive occasion, would be wholly improper and out of place in church. This distinction seems to be lost sight of by not a few who cüsrht to know better. It is of-
- ten commented upon and disapproved by travrlees. Tho noblest ladies of England and the continent, are alwaysplainly dressed in church. To dress olherwisa is considered by them a3 not only wrong, but vulgar. We wish it could bo brought to be so considered in this country. After the above had been put in typ?, we met with the following in the Christian Register, which, by way ol confirmation, we annex: An ingenious writer in tho Register over the signature of "II. S. E ," undertakes to slnw that, instead of extravagance- in women, it ii the speculations of tho - men that rnin the world. The sins of men are many and largeand I am quite willing to have the lash applied as sevci :dy as is deserved. . But it will take a good deal cf dust thrown into the eyes of mankind, to! hide the sorrowful sight of the present rnga of extravagance araon the women of this country. .Nearly all ico and acknowledge it with sorrow and alarm. Voyages arc taken to Europe by whole families. Nearly, ten millions of dollars are cstimate4 to Jte spent in Europe by Americans, annually, for expenses alone. Fashions and extra vacranec are the order of the day. . It has been cairied to such an extent i:i Belgium, and a few other places, the ladies themselves have became alarmed, and have adopted societies and meetings to cheek it, and seeing the discourain" otTect it has had on all young men, de:erliner tlr-m frir .nnriSfiiVA Some men are speculators, forgers, swin" j dlers, dishonest, but -.any more are not so; but aro hard-working, prudent citizens; and express thcmsclvds with sorrow at the customs of the day, with the universal "how it 1a remedied?" Our countrv is constantIy 'drained of Us specie by hund. ods of millions annually, and mostly fr gewgaws of unnecessary -and immoral extravagance; 31,000 shawls, S lot) bonnets, 100 silks, to sweep the streets with, places to match.' What is the effect? Mrs. rA. and Mrs. B. make out to do it. Mrs. C. in the same so ciety, has not the money,' but goads up her good spouse to 'make the raise,' who tri.s his wits; and so the strife jroes on throu"-h many grades of 'enterprise' and- of people; a-id when this beautiful country tumbles' down, I verily believe their Unprincipled extravagance will be one of the means cf its fall. cape out of many I will relate. ; A year ago a friend of mine, an amiable, good fellow," had for many years a wife who would hear of nothing, but style änd extravagance.His income would not meet i'.. His expostulations had no other effect than to mako war. So he done to the last, failed. And even then she would not let her children go to a town school, when he .could not earn money enough to buy bread He died broken hearted. Many a one is ground into dust in this way. Who can arrest such a career? The upper classes liavc nöt thc patriotism to do it; the other cannot. Can a society doit? If ." ' i - ...... so, let us have one. ' From the Cleveland rLiindealcr.

the sbeiifF many foolish questions, and among them "if he knew which Greeley had brought tho suit?" We "had a faint recollection that during the late campaign, not only twoFremonts had been discovered, but also two . Greeley 8, and wo were anxious to know which of the latter had sued us. He answered ''Old Dr;ib." ' We knew by that remark it was the editor cf the N. V. Tribune, formerly a ' Fourier! tet and tho founder of a .
