HE VTISC. ON ELECTIONS. This vicious mode of gambling prevails just now at a most demoralizing and injurious extent. It is a vice against which the voice of pure patriotism remonstrates as strong.lv as does the voire cf piety itself. It lays a man tinder a pecuniary obligation to shut out the light of truth from himself, and to use all means even those which are not the most honorable to corrupt the right of suffrage to bring about the result upon which depends his gain. It is the parent of fraud, bribery and corruption, and brings on its votaries in ono half the cases, heavy losses and sometimes ruin. Is such .a course consistent with the freedom and purity of elections? Where are tho stabilities of our government when machinery such as this is daily operating undermine its deep foundations.' We ar led to these reflections by hearing nf an industrious laboring man in a neighboring state, who, a few days since, lost the earnings of years by this vice. He had never before indulged in butting, but becoming infected with the prevailing political phrenzy and a thirst fur ill-gotten gain, he made large bci. To win these, he neglected his business, electioneered indefatigably, secured, agreeably to his own statement, a large number of ille gal voter", in promotion of his object, am ituu w 4 it H ai J t-'t ilia iilltllLVf the just reproaches of conscience, the loss cf his time, and the sacrifice of lfgc proportion of his property.

I he voters m the town ship being about equally divided, and as thev hid to travel about twenty miles to vo:e in the nearest town, an agreement was made between tho whigs anil locos that they should pair off and all slay at home. On the Suiuhv morning before the election, the locos concluded to steal a inarch upon the whigs, and give their own votes, without letting the whigs know they had gone to t!-3 meeting. They intended to start early in the mornni2 before daylight, andbefoie any of the whig? were stirring. But it soj'mppened that this Wft'I-hnd plan was defeated by the activity of a resolute Whirr girl. Sh had a sweetheart who was alocofooo and who came to pay her a viit on Sunday evening, according to tho good old fashion in New England, and as he wa about taking his leave earlier than usual, the girl insisted upon viiowing the rea son which he unwillingly disclosed. No; sooner was he gone than this truehearted Whig girl, went to her neighbors, told the whigs what was going on, and before sunrise had them all on the way to the town meeting where they arrived shortly after the locos, who were much chagiinrd at being caught in this duty trick, and wholly at a loss to undeistand how thcii eecret had been discovered. This girl is certainly entitled to tht office of Postmistress, when this plantation is organized. Hangar Whig.

'The circuit iti which Judge M'Lean presided during the period of these reports, includes the States of Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee. Illinois. Indiana, anil Michigan. The Cincinnati Gazette states that these decisions will not only be found useful and convenient to the profession, but indispenstble to the library of a lawyer of extensive practice. The opinions are drawn up with ability , and do ereat credit to the eminent Judge who give and is reporting them. Feovx Wild's X. V. Despatch. SPEAKING PLAIN. There is in this world a great deal of unnecessary ceicmony about some things, and a great want of necessary ceremony nbout others. Theie is a deal of unnecessary ceremony for instance, in very politely following a man to the lower door, regretting his departure, when in truth you rejoice at it. 'There would, on the other hand, be a great want of necessary ceremony in following the bent of your inclination, and kicking the man down stairs. There is much unnecessary ceremony practised between women . who hate each other, who know it, and each of whom know that the other knows it. 'That they should carry on a system of ceremonious and unnecessary small talk of which there is no need, while standing in such relations to each other, is among the inexplicable in woman s char acter. There is sometimes "much too much" ceremony between lovers and some times much too little; and quite as often one extreme as Uiu oilier. 1 ho most amusing part of tho whole business is, to seo two voans tools who hate neen sighing for a twelvemonth, or longer, through each other's nostril's; and who consider themselves as good a married, ;uid lly into a passion of tears or of rage at the mention of the name ol any oilier he or she in the same connexion it is the most amusing part of the whole business, we say, to see such a couple boggling at mere words the formal declaration, the formal acceptance, or the set preposals to Pa's and Ma's of both sides of the house Yet you shall see your swain afraid to broach the awful question, except by im plication; droppag blind hint, as it it were really a great sin to speak plain, and you shall see a damsel, who ha3 made up her mind to say yes, and who knows that it is all understood, hesitating at the wotd as if it would burn her lip, and af ter all, not daring to speak it, but accepting a husband by pantomimic gestures. 1 hank heaven, all people are not quite so foolish: if they were, there would be no variety in the world. There are, lere and there, men who are not ashamed to say honestly, and in few words, what they mean; and tlvre are, here and there, women, who can deal honestly. When such people meet, short work is made of it; and when one of the sensible ones of either 8ex is opposed to a mincing one of the other, he or she cn help the trembler over the bridge. When two fools eome together, as sometimes happens, thev can only trust to accident, to come out of the dilemma, "somehow" and accident al ways assists and favors fools, wherever thev are. We have been often diverted at a tale old times in New England short to be sure, but to the point. It so fell out that two young people became very much smitten with each other as young people sometimes do. The young woman's faher was rich the young man was poor but respectable. 'Tho father could stand no such union, and resolutely opposed it, and the daughter dare not disobey that is to say, she dare not disobey openly. She met ,4him by moonlight," while she pretended never to seo htm and she pined and wasted in spite of herself. She was really in love a state of "sihs and tears," which women oftenet reach in imagination than in reality. Still the fa ther remained inexorable. Time passed on, and the rose on Ma ry's damask cheek passed off. She let no concealment I ke a "worm in the bud"

pray m that damask cheek, however; but

she alway told him. The old gentleman was a widower, and loved his girl dearly. Had it been a widowed mother who had Mary in charge, a woman's pride never would have given way before the importunities of a daughter. Men are not, however, to stubborn in such matters, and when the father saw that ti is daughter's heart was really set upon the match, lie surprised her one day by breaking out "Mary, rather thnu moap to death, then had belter marry as soon as thee chooses, and whom thee pleases." And then what did Mary? Wait till the birds of the air had told her swain the change, or until her lather had time to alter his mind again? Not a bit of it. She clapped her neat plain bonnet on I er head, wnlked directly to the house of her intended, as the stref t would carry her. She walked into the house without knocking for knocking was not then fashiona ble, and she found the family just setting down to dinner. Some little commotion was exhibited at so unexpected an apparition as the heiress in the widow's cottage, but she heeded it not. John looked up inquiringly. She walked dirieclly to him, and took both his hands in hers, "John," said she ''father said I may have thee." Could she have told him the news in less words? Was there anv occasion for more? From the !S V. Cultivator. MAKING AUGER HOLES WI TH A GIMLET. "My boy what are you doing there with that gimlet?" said I the other morning to a flaxen haired urchin, who was laboring away with all his might at a piece of board before him. "Trying to make an auger hole!" was his reply, without raising his eyes or suspending his opera tions "Precisely the business of at least two thirds of the world, in this blessed yea or our Ijorcl, 1:U, is this ma'iing auger holes with a gimlet;" I said to mvaelf a; I,w l';cd musingly onward. Here is young A. who has just cscMpei from the clerk's desk behind the counter He sports his mustache: wears his hair long: has acquired the power of being shaved; carries a rattan; drinks champaign when he can command a X to nun base a bottle, and treat a friend to a dinner; talks large of the price current, fall of western stocks, and profits of banking; stands in his boots two inches taller than Astoror Appleton; and speaks of foreign exchanges as would Rothchild or Biddle. He thinks he is a great man, wlun all others know he is oily making augfr holes with a gitnblet. Mr. B. is a rabid politician, lie has abored hard at caucuses. ;ii ward and town meetings, has talked of the dear peo pie till the words flow parrot tike from hit lips, and has done a full share of the dr ty work of pany for years. Office has be? a the lure held out to lead him onwards, anil which has rade him neglect his business, spend his time in hunting up recruits, drilling the refractory, and qualifying himself for bar-room argument and stump oratory. He can settle the affairs of the nation in a Lire, diplomacy-has no intricacies for him; lie bus shaken hands with the president, and is a great man. He will soon be used up, and cast aside; and will then see, as others now do, that he is chasing a jack o'lantern, that he is making auger holes with a gimlet. There is Miss (J. who is really a pretty gin, anu wno migni ueccmc a woman a man of sense would be proud of. Now, she apes the ton in all things; reads exciting novels, goes to the opera, admires Celeste's dancing, has nearly ceased to blush at the most indecent nudity, lounges on solas, glories in her idleness, keep her bed till noon, coquets with male ;m.mals as feminine as herself, imagines she is a belle, forgets that h r fuher was a cooper, lisps of high life, and plebiau pre sumption, and is in a fair way to ruin herelf. A. I this comes of her belief that an aii 'er hole can be made by a gimlet. D., whom I have just passed, n:y be put down as a distinguished professor of the gimlet. He was a farmer. His father left him a fine farm free of incumbrance; but specula'iou became rife, fortunes were made in a twinkling, ami I), fancied "one thing could be done as well as another." So he sold his farm, and bought wild lands in the prairies, and cor ner lots in lithographed cities; and began to dream of wealth worthy of "golden Ind."

But D s. beautiful farm is gone, and he is now preparing on compulsion to become a pioneer in the west, he feels that it is difficult making auger holes with gimlet. Mr. E. is the representative of quite a class. He had his attention awakened to the subject of religion, and obtained new views of its importance and his obligations. Believing wli3t cannot be disputed, that love to God and good ivill to man, is the only true source of happiness, and feeling, as every benevolent mind must, have a desire for the welfare of his race he fancied himself called to declare these truths to the world; and forsaking his lapstone, his anvil, or his plow, became without delay an expounder of the scriptures,

I hope for it an extensive circulation. In one of tho late numbers you call for facts, whether communic.ited in elegant language or not. I hare recently learned one to which I gave all possible publicity, and have told it in almost every circle of the young in which I have since found myself. Two weeks since while on a visit to ihe house of a respectable, long experienced physician in one of the southern boundary towns in New Hampshire, he gave rne in substance the following account as near as I can re collect He was called a week or two previous to visit a young female, I think, over twenty year of age, who was distressing ly ill of a complaint of the lunga, labor ing under great difficulty of breathing, and which his discrimination led him at once to impute to a long continued practice of titjht lactng a practice which is slaying its thousands and tens of thousands in our enlightened land. There was, in hi opin ion. an adhesion of the lungs to the chest, and a consequent intlamauon which had proceeded to such a height that death was inevitable. Little or nothing could be don?. The poor girl, after a very few days of acute suffering, fell a victim to (what shall I say? I am unwilling to wound the feelings of her friends) her own folly and vanity. It could not be suicide, because no such result was contemplated, though ihe deed was done by her own hand. U e can call it bv no softer name than self-slaughter, for such even an external examination of the body moved it to have been. 'The shoulder blades were bound to be literally lapped one over the other; the false ribs had been so compressed that a space of only about an inch and a half remained between them; and so great wai the curvature of the spine, avhich had been gilded in by die cords of death, that after the corpse was laid out for interment, two pillow were put under the arch thereby formed. while ihe shoulders rested on the board. She was a large, healthy person, and wa ignorantly led by tho desire to please, to sacrifice her life at the shiine of fashion, and the prevailing false ideas of beauty or form. She was said to be of amiab'e disposition, and correct moral habits, otherwise. My own mind was so impressed with the recital of this story, that I could hardly forbear weeping over the folly, and weakness, and ignorance, and wickedness of my sex. I inwardly wished for the ability to ring this case of suffering and death in the ears of every female in our land, until their voluntarily assumed "strait jackets," that indicate nothing belter than mental aberration in the wearers, should be voluntarily thrown aside. Pray, sister, lift up your renovated voic anew labor with the ut nost power of your pen against this crying sin of enightcned Christian America, and may God Almighty bless yo::r efforts, and en able you to turn the hearts of our erriiiT sisters to Himself, that they miv sek to p.ease him. M. M. DisAPr::.R.vNCE of Fixed Stars. During the last two or threo centuries, upwards of thirteen fixed stars have disappeared. One of them in the Northern Hemisphere, presented a peculiar brilliancy, and was so brigbt as to he seen by the naked eye at mid-day. It seemed to be on fire, appearing at first of a dazzling white, then of a reddish yellow, and lasdv of an ashy pale color. La Place supposes that it was burned up, as it has never been seen since. 'The conflagration was visible about sixteen months. Antidote against Mice. Mr. McDougal of Scalps, in the Hebrides, having sometime ago suffered considerably by mice, put at the bottom, near the centre, and lop of each of his stacks of grain,"as they were raised, three or four stalks of wild mint with the leaves on, gathered near a brook in a neighboring field, and never sfter had any of his grain consumed. He then tried the same experiment with his cheese, and articles kept in store, and with equal effect, by laying a few leaves, green or dry on the articles to bo preserved. From the Pituburg Daily American. An Anecdote of the 'Times. Wo will tell an original anecdote of much interest. Some hardy roughskins, from the pine knots up the Alleghany, were sauntering up town, and had their wild unpractised ears arrested by the sounds of a piano. They could not make it out it was neither jewsharp nor fiddle, yet it was "first tate" and being overcome with curiosity, they all entered (three of them) through an open door. In a handsomely furnished room, one of our Whig girls was playing and singing a Tippecanoe song. The Mountain boys hoped no offence, but wanted to hear her play "on that thing." "O, yes," said our young belle, with great humor and archness, "but I rati play nothing but Harrison tunes. Are you for Harrison?" "Yes, all of us," said they. And away she went rattling off and singing some of her own more favorite Harrison sonjs. Ths lads appeared

credulous comrade. The young lady had

now her ambition roused, and tho young men being seated, she played and ng some of the most lively and popular Harrison nil a . while Jim himself had to join in the chorus, thanked the Udr, and sah he was no longer a Van Uurvn man, but would go the "who'.t figure" for Tippecanoe from this out. They ull departed, highly pleased. So much for a Pittsborjj Whig girl! - A hint to Girls. We have alwayn consiiVercd it an unerring fign of innate vulgarity, when we hear ladies take particular pains to impress us with an idea of their ignorance of ull domestic mattett, save sewing lace or vreavinc a net to ettcase their delicate hands. Ladies, by some curious kind of hocos pocus, hav got it into their heads thai the best way to catch a husband is to show how profound Iy capable they are of doing nothing for his comrort. Frightening a piano into fits, or murdering the king's French, may be good bait for certain kiuds of fish, but they must he of that kind usually found in very tltalloio ivatert. The surest way to secure a good husband is to cultivate those accomplishments which niako a good wife. .111 shall know i. In one town in Vermout.it is said that all the adult inhabitants but three, are professors of religion, and that nearly xll belong to the same denomination of Chritian. If this community have the power as well as thn form of godliness, thry must enjoy more than the ordinary share of human happiness. At least, their condition must afford the world something of an opportunity to test the value of gosprl principles, in regulating the intercourse of man wi:h man; in preserving order in neighborhoods; in promoting domestic and social comfort, and in refining and sweetening the enjoyments of life. The pmgiess of the gospel in that town shows, also, what we may expect in other placus, where the spirit of prayer and effort for the conversionof mm is steadfastly cultivated, and where the blessing is expected to come from God in answer to the faithful supplications of his prople. Why is the same happy result enjoyed in other towns, until all shall know the Lord froui the Icastto the greatest. X. J". Observer. MILKING.
