ENGLAND AND RUssA.-The Followimg letter presents facts and suggest4 questions worthy of profou nd reflection To the Editors of the Union: Take a map and look at Ruissia and you will find thit her right flank rests on the Baltic and Vistula, her centre on Transyl vania, and occupies Moldavia and Walla chia, and the mouths of the Danube. Her left flank is extended to Bueharia and the eastern frontier of China. The Affglan mountains alone separate the Russiani and English sentinels. This flank is supportedJ by the oasis of Khiva .(250 miles long by 50 wide) and the Aral sea ; by the whole of the Caspian sea, including the depend ent rivers of Persia, and the right of way through Persia towardslierat. Let England look it) it. (and if she does it will hardly arrest her fate,) that the present open operations of Russia in Mill dnvia and Wallachia, and the march into Hungary, do not conceal a gratn.l move Imenlt on her left flank (that a Napoleon could conceive and exect-) that nsouldl change E.ugland, by the waving of a mar shal's baton, into a third rate power. There are at least 100,0O0 Russian sot diers, a force mobile. beyond the Caspian sea, that can bi marched 'in tienty days to the banks of the Indus. Letithat force appear (n the banks of the Indus, and "the terror of the British name" will be as a thing lost upon enrth. All Indin, from Ceylon to Cahul, anJ from Bombay to Sokitn, would rise in arms, and the British power cease to exist. England without India would sink to the level of Naples, with no natiou so poor as to do her reverettee. Jake care, JuhnBull, lest the solloquy of Cardinal Wolse? he applicable to you .

Aso-rnEn GrAT Discovr.ar-SEv.si nt.: GLAss.-Ve had occasion bote tie since to say sornehitg ahout the Drnids and their worship. The gentle man who i yetting up an nrratging the nvsities and cerinonies for the Druiidi, (al exhibition, is well known to us as a practical chemist, but as lie does not wish to appear before tie public ntil the prio. per iimw, we wihboild his name, hut take the libertyI of speaking of the wonderful process ofrsciecle. * The persion alluded to spent same weeks in Pitts>norg in endeaivoring to produce tlhe magical glass of the Druids, but diii not succeed. The experiments have icen continued here, and the Drnidish musical tones, from tubes of glatss are perfect, and make sweet harmony. But the setnsitive glass goblets nre the most wonderful. It was a secret of the Arch Druid to make his glass sensitive it) poison, and iradition says that his food and beverages were sub mitted to a test inl those goblets, and if they containtied poison the glass would break. One of tihes" glisses was shown us yesterday, in which water was forced, and it remained as sound as any other tumbler, but on addina a little poison, the lns flew at once into several pieces. This is something more mysterious than has been exhibited yet, and we can say in all confidence that the exitibition will be one of remark able scient ific wonder. [Cincinnutti Com:.

McDowELLt.-The Philadelphia correspnndent of the Repuplic,'says: "A friend has just shownt me a copy of an oration delivered twelve years ago he fore the societies of the College-of Pritne ton, New .Jersey, by Goy. McDowell, which upons examination, I fitnd to be the same speeeh, almost 'verbiatim et literatim. which Gov. McDowell deliverced in Con gress last winter. It is an able speech, but the repetition of it evidences a tnarren ness of ideas which 1 did ntot expect to see AWEIGIHIN' THE GALS. Sum body says it aint a fair .question to ax ia gal her age. The old maids, I reckon, sed that. Now I think it's fully as unfair to ax a gal her weight, as it is to ax her har age, 'case it's-a tulnques ion, it is; and when you hears about weighin, Sally Greeny, you will say so too. 'You know cousin Jeff; he's a rale staver, 'mongst the gals, lie is, and he don't :kare a straw what lie sez to any on 'em, he don't. Cusen Jel, he cum over to our house one Suinday, and he sez to me. "Pete, les go to see 'Squire Greeny's gals," 'Agreed.'.sed I. And so not we struck. I fc.it driul bold when we drst started, but sumhow [ie nearer we got to'Squire Greeny's the worte skceared I was. And I wished we had never, started; but.it was too'late now, so-in we went. 'Squire Grrny's got two gals, Sally and Betsy, as nice gals as you ever seed. they is. They dI seemned mighty pe'rlite, and me and cusen JefT thought we was gittin' on fast rate, we did. Sally louked dreadful nice, I tell you. I'd gin the world if I could only 'a found sumthing to say to ler; hut I studied over every thing I ever heard or thought about in my whole life, but not the rfst dhrn'd word could I think of wuth sayin.' Cosen Jeff was all the time talkin' like all natrnr' to' Betsy. After a while Sally she proposed we should all go and weigh. Sn out we all went, Squire Greeny goin' along to weigh is. When Sally's turn cum. 'Squ;re Greeny, he lookd sorter 'stonished. 'Vby Sally.' says lie, ?yon weigh a .hundred and if. ty.' 'Law ! par,' sed Sally. 'Aint it Jeff?' sed.the squire. 'Yes sir-ce,' sed Jeff. And sure enuff Sally weighed a hundred and fifty; the hevyest critter in the whole gang on us. Well, .we all went bick to the hous, ind artV a while sez 'Squire Greeny, eie- ooin y veig a hun. 'No she don't sod the old lady. 'Yes, but I tell von she do%,' sed the Squire.

Mu.-It should be the aim of yoting tmen to go imo good society we mnan nnt then rich, nor the proud, nor the fashionable, but the society of te wise, the intelligetnt, and the good. When y'ou find men that know more than you do, and from whose conversas ion you can get information, it is always safe to be found. with them. It has broken down manay a man to associate with the lowv and vulgar,.w~here the rib bald song was sung, and the indecent story toNd to- excite laughter or influence the bad passions-. Lord Clarendon attributed- success and happiness in life, to associating with persons more learned an-l virtuous than ourelves. if you wvisha-to b~e wise and respected, if you desire happiness and not misery, we advise you to associate witv the intelligent and good. Strive for excellence a-nd strict integrity, andi yot will nevet he found int the sinks of polution, or in the ranks of profligates: ani gamblers. Once habituate yourself 1o-i virtuous course,- and no punishnrent wttld be greater titan, by accident, to be obliged, for half -a day to associate wih the low and vulgar. "What is the difference between ex pbrimecntal aud practical philosophy !" "Experimental philosophy is your -trhing me to lend you a dollar-practi ...l piloopnhy is my telling you I wont," A WORD TO BOYS. BE Poirxr.-Study the graces-not the graces of the dancing master of how ing and scraping-not the lopish, infidel etiquette of a Chesterfiid-ut benevo lence, the graces of the heart, whiatever things are I, ue, honestjnsi, pore, lovely, and of good report. The true secret of politeness is to pliise, to make happy flowing front goodness of heart-a funn tin of love. As jni leave the family circle for retircment, say good -night when you rise,-good morning. Do you meet or pass a friend in the street, bow gracefuly with thn usual salritauions. Wear a hinge on your neck-keep it %iel oiled-and above all study Solonon and the epistils of Paul. BE Civi,.-When the rich Qunker was asked the seicret of his success in life hri answered, "Civdity, friend, ci vility." Some people ate uncivil, sour, sullen, morose, crahbed, crusty7 haugh ty, really clownish and impudent. Kunr for your life ! "Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit ! There is more hope (if a fool than hin." B KIND To EVEnSYnODY.-There is nothing like kindnees-it sweetens every thing. A single look of love, a smile, a 'grusp of the hand, has gained more friends than both weahth and learning. 'Charity suffereth long an-d is kind. Sec 1 Cor. xiii. NEVER STRIKE BAca.-That is, never render evil 'for evil. Sone boys give eve for eve, tooth for tooth, blow for blow, kick for kick.-; wful! Little boys, hark ! What says Solom',n ? "Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth blood, so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife." Recom pense to no man evil for evil; bit over-. come evil with good. '.Love youzr ene mies, bless them that curse y ou." In reply to a question, avoid the monosyllables yes.and no, thus: "Is your father .igoodh iath Q_ instead o.E .saying, "Yl's, sir, thank you." r Avoid vulgar, conimon-plase or slang phrases, such as "by jinks," "first i ate," "I'll bet," 4-c. Jetting is not merely vulgar, but sinlful ; a species of gambling. THINK REFORE You SPEA.-Think twice, think what to speak, how to speak, to whom to speak, and with all to hold tip your head and look the per, sons to whom you are speaking full in the face with modest dignity and assu Mince. Sone lads have a foolish, sheep ish bashfulness, sheer off, hold down their heads and eyes, as if they were guilty of sheep-sicaling ! Never be ashamed to do right.-N. Y. Star. A CoNvALESCtNo "SoN."--The Pic ayune is responsible for the following anecdote: Gnugih'd.-We are indebted to a friend tron the country for the follow irig litte anecdote, showing how one of the "Sons" recently got gonglh'd, which, being interpreted, meaneth getting "high," '"tight," "fuddled." It seems that our temperance man had a "slke" with the cholera, but fortunately re covered. When he was getting conva lescent, as the doctors sity, his physi cian prescribed a little brandy-an ounce per day-and the patient at once sent out.'nd proctred a quantity of the arti cIl.". O'n th'e folrowing atfternoon. the physi cian paid a visit to the chiolera man, and, to htis astonishtment, found him in a- mo'st excellent flow of spirits--or, in other words, quite gongk'd ! O'n in quiring into this singular state of thiin gs, the mediciae man exclained:' Did I not prescribe an ounce only of brandy per day ?"~ "Yes, sir," replied the chiolera man ; "but then you must knowv, doctor, I ha~d no scales to weight it in, and remembering that eight drams~ mauke an unce, I had no scrupies in mteasuting it out in that way. Yester day I took eight good "horns," and have alteady htad three thtis morning, and feel much-the better from it. You're a first rate cholera doctor, yout are !"
