Adored and divinest or creature*, My affection you never can doubt. Bat life ia two-Told, any the preachers? The world of within and without. The law of a lover's allegiance Is beauty, not fashion or pride. And the heart may be shocked from obedience By what's a mere world of outside. Your path's like the course of a comet, Requiring a very wide berth; And whntever's theiein must fly from it, If it be to the ends of the earth. It is fenr makes a coward of affection. And so terribly great nic your charms I have said, on the fullest reflection, Yon can never return to my arms! Love at best is a hnxardous venture, And 'twere folly to follow s day An angel who never can enter The straight and the narrow way. To wonder is certainly humane, And the only conclusion is this: That in anch a whole world of a woman, There is something inoro than a miss ! So ncc pt the farewells of n lover. Whose heart may Ik- yours till ho dies, Though his little attentions are over, And he trembles at one ol your sighs?(size;) But let me not call you cold-hearted, Fori know that your nature is warm, And the process by which wc are parted Is purely a matter of form! {Boston Pott. T11E MivilSTli SOUTH. Friends and fellow citizens! Providence has cast our lot together ns one people. This Union has mode a* powerful, sate, nnd respected the world < over. Wc have prospered under it beyond all example or precedent. We shall continue prosperous if we do not despise our own mercies. There is no reason why we of the North should wage a perpetual warfare against the South. Tlu-y Imve not wronged nr. hot have faithfully fulfilled their part of the stipulations of the national eoiii|un I llnvc Wc done the same towards thcnif Should the Black Republicans gel into power, they would instantly repeal the fugitive sl.ivc law, or so am. i.J ; it as to render it inoperative. In ether ease they ; would deliberately violate a stipulation ot the Con i staution, deemed so iin|xirtant by ihe South, i that without it the Union could not have h?sui | formed.

The Union eaiillol bo maintained by Inrue, as projo e.l by the R'a> k Republicans. It must be voluntary?the result of mutual kindliest, re?|?ect, ami goo 1 will. Kvcry offensive word, every wanton aecusatlou every breach of brotherly kindness, manifested by one section of the country towunls anmlirr, is a blow , aimed at the Union ul the States. Ami wli it a torrent of villifioation of the South has been belched forth by Northern pr?-sses ami pulpits within the i post five years! What misrepresentations! What unohariiableuess! Why, there is not a foreign nation on the face of the earth that we have treated ; half so badly within ilie same period. All foreign i 1 nations put together liuve not been subjected to n j 1 tithe of the nliuse which lias be<-n heaped U|ni|i 1 our brethren of the S >uth?our compatriots, who [ 1 have stood by us shoulder to shoulder in t-vi ry i war, and who are ready toMtiiud by us to the denili. The South has not changed its relations to slavery ; ' since the Union was formed. They stand where i 1 they were. It is the-North that lina changed. Or | rather, a portion of the North, now combined on- I der the abused name of "Republicans." It is th- sc Black Republicans who are uiakiiig war upon their partners, whom they have vowed to love and clu-r- i ish. It is they who are sowing dissensions and heart-burnings ull over the land, which it will take years, if not centuries, to heal.

If Pennsylvania is true to its history, 'lis ! ed h vote ought not to be undecided in such a contest as IIlos the present one, and William Penn, the (Quaker, ought to bo allowed to speak out of the grave in . favor of the nou-extensionist candidate. ,n n Some Idlers have appeared in our columns late- eneo I ly to the effect that we have been mistaken in sup- thro I posing that the northern States tire so s< riono on llic I slavery question, and that these Slates w ill never . ' i do anything which will involve the highest risk ol ;''? I n dissolution of the Un;on, and that those who 111 I ] spread these reports about tlicm are abolitionist eilltl I fanatics. The general purport of these letleis is, |,., 1 that "the North"loves the Union first and freedom i. . next, and that, while it will welcome any relief ol | 1 , slavery that comes without the slightest political 1 * 1 danger, it will never make political sacrifices for it. [ nncii Such n view of the policy ? f "the North" makes mid: very lilile difference between the Northern, or the }) : Ueptiblienn. and the democratic parly.

Tire French lady must he , some such character as Theresa in the Wil ' helm Meister of GoBtlre, who therein pootises housewifery at a most extravagant rate: There resides in the Rue de la Chaitssee I d'Antin, in Paris, a worthy Indy who makes a single apartment in her house mure eleI gant than all the rest combined. This ( grand apartment is?the kitchen. Whenlt ever this lady receives company, all sorts of ingenious dans are formed and every de|j scription of little artilices employed to inI rluce their guests, without ac.ually asking . them, to have a peep at this den, generally ^ kept as much as possible in the hack grottnd I ' for ohviotts reasons. (Nothing is so dis w gusling to a true epicure as the stnell of r cookery.) In most houses, therefore, the kitchen is as far distant from '.he drawingrno*u as possible. In this instance, on the contrary, the lo] cal topography is so arranged, that many persons wishing to go out, mistake the . j door, and just as they are about hastily ^ backing out, are accosted by the most d;u j zling of cooks, who cries, with a smiling I air, "It's the kitchen, Monsieur, (or Mad ' i an.e,) there's no harm ! Walk in, if you please!" l?v this time the glance tif the! , visitor has taken in all sorts of unexpected t j things hung around the room, and he is in ^ I dnced to enter this curious boudoir kitchen. ^ j The walls and the floor are compose ! of mosaic bricks of numerous colors, (be pre j- vailing being blue and white. Gas burn i j era issue from rare and beautiful china 1 v saucers, or bunt tbrough the artificial wicks ( t | of antique lamps. The dressers and clo?ets nie covered with ^ burnished copper, and contain the thousand : and one utensils of the cuisine, all shining | with dazzling polish; the kitchen tr>?1 being i I :t Highland lass, who spares neither biick ( dust nor muscle in keeping up thu proud 1 i reputation for cleanliness of her country. ; _ What is most surprising in this model' 1 kitchen is to sec the sauce pans and grid : irons, bright as so many now matches, j hung up with rose colored ribbon*. Evi( dcntlv these utensils consume moro ribbon i than even Madame'a bonnet. A short time ago the friends of the pro prietress of this simple establishment beg( ged lier to give a breakfast in tbis elegant j ' kitchen. She consented on one condition; j j tlio guests should, themselves, cook the ' breakfast they were to est, and afterwards > ; they were to wash the dishes and put every- | tliinhack in tlio entire order in which they 1 found it. Tho stipulation was stoically ac' copied. Two ladies who have four to five hundred thousand francs a year to spend, the lady of an admiral, a duchess, nnd the . wives of two foreign ministers, were present on the occasion and took part in the novel j proceedings.

The Marquis wai not quite twenty years of ago?he had already been married nearly three years to a lady of rank and fortune. Full of the romance of liberty, he had torn himself from his youthful bride, turned his back ujron the | gayclies and splendors of a court, and. in ' defiance of impediments and difficulties multiplied in his path, had made his way > to America to join its hazardous fortunes. He sent in his letters of recommendation to Mr. Lovell, chairman of the committee ol foreign affairs, and applied the next day at the door of Congress to know his success. Mr. Lovell answered that Congress | was embarrassed by a number of foreign applications, many without merit. Lafay- , elto immediately sent in the following note: "After my sacrifices, I have the right to ask [ two favors: one is to serve at my own expense; the other is to commence by serving as a volunteer." This simple ap|>eal had its effect; it called attention to Iris peculiar case, and Congress resolved on the 31st of July, that, in consideration of bis zeal, his illustrious family and connections, he should have the rank of Major General in the army of the United States. It was at a pub lie dinner where a number of members of Congress were present that Lafayette first saw Washington, lie immediately knew liiin, he said, from the officers who sur rounded him. by bis c mmanding air and person. When the party was breaking up. Washington took him aside, complimented linn in a gracious manner on his disititer stcd zeal and the generosity of his con duct, and invited him to make bis headquarters his lioine. "I cannot promise you the luxuries of a court," said be, "but as \ou have l?ccome an American soldier, you will doubtless accommodate yourself to the fare of an American army." Singular Whale Fioht.?A whale sixtv two feel long was picked up at sea nltout three weeks ago, and taken ashore at Nyb ter, some twelve miles from Wick. It seems that the whale was not diified dead ' from lilts Greenland Seas, but liiat be had fallen in binglc combat with another tnons ter of the *ea?. The conflict, which took place aboiil a mile and a half from the bhore, and which was witnessed from the land l>; I a number of fUherini-n and others, is de ' scribed as having been protracted and bloody. The two mors'ers ko, t battling with each other, at times with their heads and at times with their tails, raising a tre j mendous spray for a distance of many yards. I After a fierce and close encounter they would each retreat for a considerable dia lance, and after n brio.' rest would again meet in colli-ion, approaching each other with iocomotivo speed at the rate of some twenty or thirty miles an hour. On recovering from the stunning effects of such an attack they would again resume the fight, rising up into the water, springing up from ten to twenty feet, and coming down on each other with fearful violence. Meanwhile, the sea for some distance round : about had assumed a red color, indicating i that an immense quantity of blood had been ( shed.

A letI ter from Moscow, published in the London Globe, says: You perhaps know tire pret tv story about Tod lichen's wife and fatheri in-law. The latter, a rich merchant of the name of Hanf, did not much i.kc hisdaugh- i ter's marriage with the yound cadet of en- | ! gineers. I hiring the siege of Sebastopol, ! I however, thick and fast came the tidings which blotted out the lieutenant, the cap- I tain, the colonel, and gave Hanf a general 1 for a son in law. "Daughter, I love Tod tloben for your sake." says the worthy nier-! chant. Suddenly Hanf himself was created a baron by Nicholas, in consideration of the son in law's services. The new noble forthwith had nn inscription attached to the front of Ins dwelling, from which he re moved Ins business, (it had till then been I carried on there;) the inscription ran thus: "House of the Huron Hanf." One day two officers called at Todtleben's and asked ; "Was Madame at home?" entering before the maid servant knew what to reply. The wife happened to be corning down stairs at the moment; the officers bowed low, and 1 nno oftlicm said, "Excuse ?>ur vi>it; it is In I l>eg you to tell your liu?band that I, the ! Grand I>tike Con-tantine, an<l my brother here, the Grand Duke Nicholas, could not ' leave the capital without offering our respect* and congratulations to Ins wife." They then withdrew. When the father inlaw heard this, said he, "Daughter, I love you ?till better for the sake of Todtleben."

A Wife's Bills.?Vol. 8tb of Cusbing1* Reports contains an opinion on a case where a mesmeric physician sued a husband for service rendered the wife in his absence. It i? to the effect that "the law does not recognise the dreams, visions, or revelations 01 s won an in the mesmoric sleep, as necessaries for a wife, for which lliehiuband, without his consent, can be made to par. These are fancy articles, which those who have money of their own to dispose of may purchase if they think proper, but they are not necessaries, known to the law, for which the wife can pledge the credit of her husband.*1 Autificial Ice.?An ice machine has just been completed at the Cuyahoga iron works, Cleveland, Ohio, which is capable of producing one ton of solid crystal ice in twenty hours. A trial has recently been made with the above result while the mercury stood at 80 degrees in the apartment. The estimated expense of manufacturing ico by such a machine is 85 ner ton. or one fuurlh of a cent per pound. "This Animal," said An itinerant show* man, "is the royal African hyena, measuring fourteen feet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, and the same length back again, making in alt twenty eight teet. He cries in the woods in the night season like a human being in distress, and then devours all that come to *his assistance?a sad instaflce of the depravity of huinau n*? ture." This Okigin or a Fashion.?There is a smile going round Europe, (says the Daily News,) at the simplicity of the ladies of England, France, and America, in their worship of Parish fashions. Because A beautiful young Empress found it convenient to revive the fashion of full petticoats, what must old dowagers and youpg maidens do but copy the dress without the excuse! A contemporary tells a good joke about a verdant limb of the law, who resided upon Nanticoke Creek, nu ind the absence of the pastor acted as clerk. He had a stiange way of manufacturing words when nt a loss for the right one. Well, upon a certain occasion, w hen ho deemed his services in request, he undertook to give out a hymn, in which the word 'doxology* occurred; ns he could not get hold of the word, he requested the congregation to sing 'four verses and a aockdoloyers A Royai. Matiress.?The ex King Louis of Bavaria, who recently attained his seventieth year, was, a few days ago, waited on nt his chateau nt Ludwigshahe, in the Palatinate, by a deputation from Strasburg, in which place he was born, who paid their respects to him on the occasion. r The King received them most kindly, promised to visit their city, and related to them a curioun circumstance. At the time of his birth, in Augnat, 17SC. his futhcr, who was then only Prince des Deux Pont*, commanded the Abace leeiment in the service of France, which was in the garrison at Stmsburg; and, a few days after the birth, he was astonished to tee that all his grenadiers had cut off their beards and moustaches. On inquiring why they had done so, one of the men stepped forward and said that they had determined to bog bis acceptance of a relvet mattress for the new born prince, and that they had stuffed it with their beards an J moustache*! I have the mattress still, cried the King, "and will show it to yon!" The mattress was pr< Juced, and the King added, "I do not think that there is in the world a bed which rati be called more strictly military than that!'' Fattening Turrets.?The alimentary properties of charcoal are very great; indeed, it has been asserted that domestic fowls may i>e fattened on it without any other food, and that, too, in a shorter time than on the most nutritious grains. In an experiment made to lest the value of the article, four turkeys were taken and confined in a pen, and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and oats. Four others of the same brood were also confined at the same time in another pen, and fed daiiy on the same hi tides, but with ono pint of very finely pulverised clinic -al mixed with their meal and potatoes; they had also a plentiful supply of broken charcoal in their pen. Tho eight were killed on the same day, and there was a difference of one and a half pounds each in favor of the fowls which had been supplied with the charcoal," they being much the falter and the meat greatly superior in point of tenderness and flavor. This would appear to establish, beyond dotlht ill" llAll??<tl nl' f..r ? ? ?? ????* purposes.
