i*bbbiir as a Pol Ideal Power. We would call the earnest attention of oar readers, and eapocially of such as apprehend no danger forom Popery, inu> ranch as its adherents are a small minority of the population in this country,' to the following important remarks from one of our ablest thinkers, and one who is thoroughly .versed in the history of thoPapaey. We copy from an article an : on tho Papacy and the Empire, in the JHlliptheat Sacra, ( Vol. II,) by Doctor; Bears, Superintendent of Common Schools in Massachusetts; "We clow with a remark to which it will bd well for American patriots to give heed, namely, that Papacy-has slways owed its elevation to the existence of po-, Utica I parties, between which. it canid hold the balance of power. Its entire history is but a commentary on this fact. * ♦ * Such, essentially, lias Romanism always been,-and will, no doubt, always continue to bo. Never was there a more inviting field for.the exercise of its political power, than,that presented>by onr popular government, with its ever growing faction. - In ■ tho German Empire, (during the middle ages,) open opposition to the government could boput down as a rebellion, or made a cause of war; with us it is claimed fts .n constitutional right; There profound .secrecy was necessary, and exposure at too curly a day was defeat. ■ Herd the mask in ay bo thrown oil at any time, and that which has ripened into mfficicnt maturity iti secret council; may- come forth and manifest.itself, like any ; othrr political scheme, in combination with any political parly to which it may have sold itself, or rather, which it may have .bought, '. Romanism, with its .may, with apparent honor, enter into a political campaign,' and not nnfrequenlly control our political elections.- How can the danger which threatens us from this quarter be averted?” ■ ;

KftQgAtf* The Kansas ffendd offritiom, in reply to numerous queries, gives the following ileraiof infornulion:

to thus extend hie business and draw off tbe customers from older stands. Tbs young man evaded an answer—but inquired if he had any further objections tohbunion with Angelica. ‘None/ replied he, "provided you reveal the secret of your success.*’—'This the young man promised, when his happiness was made complete. The old man commended hia prudence on this point. The affair was settled and the marriage soon place. The friends of the young couple were all assembled, end among them many of the customers of the two ! stores. Angelica find Thomas looked as happy as well could be, and the old ! gentleman was, if possible, happier than I they. The bridal coke was about to bo jcut, when the old man called out for "the iSECRET."

Defense of Ibe Know Nothings! AHD THE IE SECRECf. | We take the following extract from the speech of Ur. Smith of Alabama, delivered in the House of Representatives, January 16, in defense of the American Party and their secrecy: Again, sir, as a matter of party tactics, this new party has a right to keep its own : secrets. It has the examples of the two old parties. True, political conventions are usually held with open doors; speeches are made and resolutions adopted. Rat this is a mere publication of the acts of secret committee. The moving cause and realm for the re sol vet being unknown and unseen. When the great elections are pending, doos not each party have its sc* cret agents in Washington—meeting in dark conclave —flooding the country with sealed packages? And does not the party in power keep the key of the Pott Office in hit pocket? Is not then the finger pressed on the lips? “Soy nothing!" , Keep dark!'* These and other cabalastic words, are uttered with low tones and smothered breath; and all justified, commended, practiced, and applauded. Why then, [sir, may not the American party keep i its own secrets? . But, sir, tho great justification oftne secrecy of. this order is yet to be staled. The American party is not vxthing vnth Americant. It is warring with an enemy sworn to secrecy. Jesuits axd Piuestb? Arc not tbs Roman Catholic priests the keepers of (he secrets of their congregations? Is not the Jesuit sworn to secrecy? Does he not go prowling about the country with his tablet and pencil, calling all information; looking over everybody’s shoulder; winding himself into every man’s confidence: lifting the curtain, of every man’s window; and, with his meek mysterious eyes, smiling like a saint—does ho not hurry away to reveal this information,' whenever it is 'of .sufficient; importance? Tliis, .sir, is the fearful and disguised enemy—an enemy, whose name is legion—with which tho American party is at war.. Here is the Jesuit’s path: “I,, A. B., now in the presence of Almighty God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed Michael, the Archangel, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Pau!, and the saints and sacretl hosts of Heaven, and yon my ghostly father, do declare from my heart, without mental reservation, that—(Pope Gregory, or the present incumbcntj-ris Christ’s Vicar, and is tho true end only head of tho Universal Church throughout;the world; that by virtue of the keys and of tho binding and loosing given to his holiness by Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose heretical Kings, Princes, Commonweal Iks, and Governments, all illegal without his sacred confirmation, and that they may be safely destroyed; therefore, to the utmost of my power I will defend this doctrine, and his Holiness’s rights and customs, against all usurpers, andall heretical or Protestant authority whatsoever, especially the new pretended authority of the Church of England, and all adherents, in regard that they be usurped and heretical, opposing the Sacred Mother Church of Rome.

jRclomaiion o( William Win. i A TRCE 1SCDKST IN HIS HISTORY. \ The distinguished Win; Wirt, wiihin ’six or seven months after Lis first marrii ago, became addicteii to intemperance, the 'effect of which operated strongly on the ■ mind and health of-his wife, and a few : mouths more she was, numbered with the [dead. Her death caused him'to leave the Sconnty Where ho resided, and-he-removed [to Richmond. . But bis habits hung [ about him;-and occasionally he was found [with jolly,/frolicsome. spirits in Bacchanalia u revelry , His true friends expostulated with hini lo convince him of the in* [jury he was doing to In msclf. But ho |still persisted.: liis practice began tO fall joff, and many looked on hiin, as on the ! sure road to ruin:- IIc was adviced lb get [married with a view of correcting his habits. This he consented to do, if the right I person offered, lie accordingly paid his [addresses to Miss Gamble. After some men the attention, ho her hand in •marriage. She replied:' “Mr. Wirt, I have been well aware of your attentions some time back, and should have given you to understand that your visits and attentions were not acceptable, had I’not reciprocated the affection yen evinced towards mo. But I cannot yield my assent until you make me a pledge never to taste, touch or handle any intoxicating drinks;" This reply.to Writ was as unexpected As it was novel. His reply was, that he regarded that proposition as a bar to all further considerations of the subject, and he left her. Her course towards him was the same as over—hisVosentment and neglect. In tho course of a fi?w weeks, be went again and solicited her hand. But her reply was that her mind was made up. He became indignant, and regarded the terms she proposed as insulting to his honor, sni avowed it should be the last meeting they should ever have. He took to drinking worse and worse, and seemed to run headlong to ruin. One day, while lying in the outskirts of the city, near a little grocery or grog shop, drunk, a yonng lady, whom it is not necessary to name, waa passing that way to her house, not far off, ami beheld him with his face upwards to tho rays of tho scorching bud. She took her handkerchief, with her own name marked upon it, wvi placed it over bU face. After he had remained in that way for Eomo hours, ho was awakened, and his thirst being so great, he went into the little grocery to get a drink, when ha discovered the handherchief, and the name that waa on it. Alter pausing, he cxI claimed: “Great God! who left this with me? \Vho placed this on my face?” Xo one knew. He dropped the glass, exclaiming: “Enough! enough!” I He retired instantly from the store, for- | gelling his thirst, but not his debauch, tho handkerchief, or the lady, vowing. ! that if God gave him strength, never to [touch, taste or handle any intoxicating ! drinks.

South says: "A few years ago wo made a large collection of the seeds of shade and ornamental trees, both deciduous '..arid, evergreen,. and . planted with much care, but did not get a seed to vegitate. ;This season wo have found what was the matter, we planted too deep. It is well-known in tho piho-rcgions of Georgia that this • has been a' great year, and we now find everywhere; where the winged seeds have met the suifaco soil, they have thrown out roots, and begun the form of a-tree. They had no. plant-, ing but what nature gave them, and dame nature is a tolerable horticulturist. ,

A Secret V/oitfi Knowing. TRUTH 18 STRANGE, STRANGER TUAN FICTION, Under this heading tho Long Island Star publishes an interesting tale, for the extended details of which wo cannot find room, but most content ourselves with giving Ino leading facts in a condensed form for the benefit of our readers.

A yonng grocer of good character and correct habits, commenced business in a good and improvingneigbborhood. His stock was small, as were his means, and bis stock of customers were still smaller. His sales hardly met his expenses, and ho was evidently going “down bill,” and an old grocer on the opposite comer predicted that he would soon be at the bottom.

I do further promise and declare, that notwithstanding I am dispensed to assume any religion heretical, for tho propagation of "the mother church interests, to .keep secret and private all her agents counsels as they intrust me, and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word writing, or otherwise, any matter or circumstance whatsoever, but to execute all that shall bo proposed, given in charge; or discovered unto mo by yon, my ghostly father, or by any of this covenant. “All of which, I, A. B. do swear, by the blessed Trinity, and blessed sacrament, which I am now about to receive, to perform and on ray part, to keep inviolable; and do call the heavenly and glorious host to witness my real intentions to keep my oath. In witness whereof, I take this holy and blessed sacrament of the Eucharist, and witness the samb further with my hand and seal, in the face of this holy covenant." Sir, tho American party, with all alleged secrecy, avows to tho world that one of its greatest objects is, as connected with tho growth of foreign power in this country, to probchibe as a party rule, Homan Catholics from office. With this object in view, and looking upon this oath of the Jesuits, I ask if tho . American party has not a right to hold its meetings in secret, to make its resolves in secret. There is an old saying, and never more appropriately used than now, “When yon fight the devil, you have a right to fight him with fire.”

. Storing Apples In Sawdust. IhaVc a dark closet in ray house, or rather I live in & row with my windows hack and front.". The house is four stories high, and the length, from • front to back is so great, that we,have three rooms oh tho floor, tho centre dark. ‘ On the third story the floors arc plastered, and I find tho temperature, so even that I use it for a wine store in - preference to the celler, and have it fitted with bins: In this room I put some hampers of apples (like pearmainf.) I wanted ono of the.hampers and turned the apples in one of tho bins, amongst tho dry sawdust (pine sawdust.) A fortnight ago we looked at them, having used up the others gathered at the same time, and from the same tree, all of which were wrinkled; hut on taking those off and from tho sawdust, I found them in a most beautiful condition; those covered with sawdust were as plump and fresh as when gathered; while those partially buried wore only to tno extent covered with tho sawdust, tho upper portions being wrinkled. X am so pleased with tho discovery, that I shall pack them in bins next year, for I have no doubt they will keep in this way till next Christmas.

That the yoang grocer had reason to! regret this opinion of the old grocer will j •appear. Tho latter had a daughter who •had won the heart of the former. , Ho offered himself to her and ho was rejected. It was done, however, with the assurance however that ho was tho man of her choice, bnt that she acted in obedience to her father's commands. , Assured of the affections of the woman of his choice, he set himself about removing tho only obstacle in the way of their union—the father’s objection to his pecuniary prospects.

To fmeet Miss Gamble was the hardest effort of his Hfe. If be met lier in her carriage or on foot, ha popped arotmd tbo nearest comer. She at last addeessed him a noto under her own hand, inviting him to her house, which he finally gathered courage enough to accept. Ho told her if sho still bore affection to him, he would agree to her own terms. Her reply was: “Sly conditions are tho same now that they ever have been.” Then," said Wirt, *T accept them.” They soon married; from that day he kept his word, and his affairs brightened, while honor and fame gathered thick upon his brow.

To SsiOKtR!- - It is s siil that Fr* &»c* ci the celebrated Domicun preacher, was nn .inveterate hairr of tobacco emote.—One day preaching to a squad of Spanish sailors, who indulged very liberally their propensity for smoking, he broke the thread ami told them that mice on a lime, a lot of smoking Spaniards, who by somefortu* itons circumstance got into Heaven; polled out iticir nasty smoke so that St. .Peter was forced In hold his nose to prevent bring suffocated. No persuasion or threats of the Saint could drive- them out, or slop tfieir smoking; but at last a bright ihoeght came Into his head. He advertised a bullfight outside the walle. whereat every Spaniards left imton&r to tec ihe r «porl. — St. Peter instantly shut and bolted the door and not a Spaniard has been able to gain admittance since.

A year had elapsed, and lol what a changel The young grocer waa now going up kill with the power of a steam locomotive; customers flocked to his store from all quarters, and even many had left the old established stand on the opposite comer, for the younger favorite. There waa a mystery about it which puzzled the old grocer sorely, but which he could not unravel. Ho at length became nearly tick with losses and aggravations, and in vain attempts to discover the secret of his neighbor’s success. At this juncture, Angelica—for that was the daughter's name—contrived to bring about an apparently accidental interview between ; tha parties. After the old man had'become, through the intervention of the daughter, tolerably good humored, ho enquired with great earnestness of the young man, how he had contrived to effect so much in a single year,

AST* “Now, ray dear, wo never can afford to buy flour at that awful high price —so you’d belter tell the grocer to sand up only half tho usual quantity, and make up the rest with plaster of Paris and such like—it will do just as well."

’ Kr It is a singular fact, that if a man travel round the earth in an easterly direction, ho will find, on returning to the place of departure, ho has gained one whole day; the reverse of this proposition being true also, it follows that the Yankees, who are always traveling West, do not live aa long," by a day or two, as they would if they had staid ■ at homo. And supposing feach yankce’s time to fee worth 81 50 per Hay, it may easily he shown that a considerable amount of money is anon ally lost, by their roving diaposi* Itiens. .
