The New York Henld utters tbe follow! ng troths to the unbelieving ears of tbe Northern people : \The - "hi an u fac tu ri n g, commercial and sliipfiiog interests ol the North will be ruined, and ail who are dependent on them for employment will be reduced to starva> t?on, and the irrepressible conflict of labor with capital will lie fought, not at the South, but at the North, where there is far more dar.ger of insurrection thnn at the other side of the lino which divides th? Union. The South in tlio meantime would nothing. She is not dependent on the North for employment for her people, nor for a maiket for her cotton and other productions. She has a teeming soil, a population to cultivate it, and the world for a market; and if she desired to manufacture for herself, it would be impossible for the North to compete with her. But it is not her desire nor her interest to interfere with the manufactures and 11*1 commerce of the North, unless she is driven to the wall. There is no irrepressible conflict between the free labor of the North and the slave labor of the South. This iB an ingenious fiction of the Republican leaders. On the contrary, there is perfect hyrmony between the two systems, and Ttfnrll. s~...i. -j j uuuiu mi a Hunpien oy nature and tlie progress of llieir civilization to supply the wants of each, other, nnd to enrich each other, and there is the strongest community of interests that over existed between so many States. If political demagogues will manufacture discord to suit their own purposes, that is not the fault of the instrument on which they are playing. Dut the people have heard enough of their music, and ought to^op them at the ballot box, before they do any more mischief, and before a prosperous and peaceful country (the North) is reduced to poverity, intestine strife and every disorder. ' - -Dybbepbia Amono Farmers ?It is a notorious (act tlmt indigestion prevails more extensively among the farming population of the Went, than among any other class. Why is this! Tliey certainly take any reasonably amount of exercise, and that, too, in the dpen air, and in the broad sun light. Their houses are well ventillated, and by their isolated situation, free from the many unhealthy influences of a pent-up city. We think, if our farmers will pause for a moment and look this matter gravely in the face, they will discern the cause of the prevalence of tbifc mother of most maladies I among them to be? 1. The constant use of salt meat, particularly salt pork. It is well known that this ajjomiuable swine's^esh, fried in iis own filthy grenso, constitutes the 44 staff of life" in nearly every farm house in the Mississippi Valley. Hog and hominy are household gods, and according to the hoosier's creed, indispensable to man's existence. 2. The use of eotfee. The faithful housewife serves it up "strong and good," morning, noon, and night. Reader, just think of it, the vilest of flesh washed into the stomach tlir<.e times a day, by a decoction poison! 3. ltanul efltiiinr Wn bIiahU r J -r W WWVM|\?

If we had gizzards, wo might then swallow our food whole as ducks do; but instead of gizzards we havo teeth (some of lis); and are commanded to nse (hem in grinding food fur the stomach ; but if we compel the .stomach to do both its o wn work and that of the teeth; it will toon give signs of. debility and disease in the shape of acidity, headaches, sense of weight over the whole man, irritable temper, despondency, '' 'Our fannefs seldom spelid more than ten or fifteen minutes, at aoieal, and then go immediately to the field/and engago in the most laborious work.

The New Haven News and the Haiiford Post seems to be very nearly out of other business, and have lately gone into a discussion of the science of kissing. Aa the editors seem to be differently situated as to domestic affaire, probably they like George the Fourth's two opposing lawyers ?both right. The News has the first paragraph, with the short and sweet heading, 'Kissing.' ' "V Dallies kiss?children kiss?mother* and fathers kiss, and young people?they kiss too?and in fact we all kiss, and it's pretty good fun when you're kissing the proper lips, and io our case they are those of the lady who keeps house for us. To which the Post rejoins. Oh ! pweep I Is that so?all you say? brother 'local.' It's better than orange peel, isn't it ? If your statements are tiue, there can't be any haira in kissing. All rightj but would you advise us to kiss 'the lady who keeps houso for us,* as you 8 tdo ? Perhaps your example isn't a safe one to follow. We don't k?6w how you are situated, but we buard with a 'widder ;' we don't feel like it?shan't do it. To which again, the News makes replication : Why did'nt Jack eat his supper! is h question which has been asked from th? earliest days of the oldest inhabitant. The commonly accepted answer may perhaps be applicable in this case; who knowst Pshaw, man ! Get a housekeeper of your own, and our word for it that, you behave yourself, and go home before morning, she won't decline any overtures you may feel , inclined to make. If there is anything a woman detests it is the habit some men have of Maying away over nig)it. Tift News might have added that they have not much more liking fur the habit some men have of staying out late vtnto the night, and that expecting a very sleepy woman to kiss or be kissed with any greatvivacity, is contrary to nature. Rich.?A few days since, an extra train loaded with jackasses, was transported over the Ixmisville and New Albany Railroad. The telegraph operator, at Salem, a boy getting wind of it, set afloat a rumor thai a large delegation of Douglasites would pass through at a certain hour. Rumor increasing rs it flew, said tlmt mnnv emi_ nent speakers wvre aboard and that bands of music accompanied tlie expedition.'- Immense crowds of enthusiastic Douglas raeu repaired to the depot, bats in fi^ud^rrady for the expected cheers. When the train thundered'in, and an aged and venerable owner of a pair of fabulous eara stuck bis head out of a stock car and gave vei t to a long agonising-heehaw that fairly thook the hills around, consternation seized the crowd, and in two minutes not a Douglas' ,-ite was to be seen within a mile of the de? ' pot. How to Speak in Publip,?Some body gives this advice to beginners : When VOU mount tllA ho orlmro (n pill'your hat. Look' around, as though you were quite cool and collected, and sudifanly put your hat upoy.the floor.

The dress of a Persian lady consists of a paij of immensely wide trousers, like a couple of petticoats tacked together, made bf filk or cotton, and fastening round the middle by a running string?a very short chemise of gatfie, reaching only to the waist?a jacket reaching to the hips, havings open rdeeves, which may -be buttoned close if required?-a small skflll-cap on the head?and sometimes a handkerchief thrown over the head and descending to the shoulders and back. A variety of ornaments are worn but not in the profusion which Indian women are partial >,.to; these consist of rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings of different sorts; and usu ally an aigrette springing from a band encircling the head. Their hair is arranged in large side-locks, and long plnited tresses hanging down behind. They paint their eyelids at the edge* jyith a kind of collyrium, made of ore of antimony ; and smear the eye brows with a kind of black paint. . The life led by the Persian ladies is listleas and indolent, and to any civilized woman would be ^nsipid to a degree.? Their duties consist in the superintend< price of household affairs and the attendance to the care of their children ; and their amusements consist in visiting thwir female acquaintances, and reociving their visits in^roturn; witnessing the performance of temale dancers, singers and sto ry.tellers; playing in the gardens of their houses, riding in their takhterivun ,or liorse litters, smoking, or bating sweet meats. Their visit the public batha on c&Hain days of the week when men do not go thi'Jier; and perhaps their greatest enjoyment is to meet at these resous, to bathe together..smeke and talk scandal. The eyes of a Persian beauty should be like those of nn antelope, large a?d dark; her eyebrows rather close together and nearly..resembling in shape an unbent, bow ; her figure should be erect, tall, and stately aS the '-cypress tree;"'lor Persians hate a "dumpy woman" as much a? Lord Byron did. Europeans are mistaken in entertaining the general notion that Oriental wives are mere alaves or pieces of furniture: Lhat they are ill treated by their liege "lords; cooped up in prison-like harems, and denied every luxury and enjoyment. On the contrary, the husband in usually very indulgentito his wife; consults and takes her advice on masters of description, and is not unlrequently completely ruled by her ; for, no doubt, t'>e i oble arts of henpecking. coaxing, and worrying, are fully as well understood, and as often practiced, by ladies in this country, as by their fair sia^rs in any quarter of the globe. Out dfjdoors the lady enjoys most unlimited liberty. She may attend the baths and mosque?, at times when .the men are not thore, whenever she pleases; she may go and visit her parents and fe> male acquaintances, staying at their houses for some day9 if she choo6$f,<without givjng her husband any previous warning of her intentions; and sl^e may have her own visitors at home, ^nd entertain theiu in any way she like-*, while her better half <.iinnnt.in?0rf?? - ...?VW.W VTOU OMWn ill Ul* sel'. * In. point of education, women of this country are very far behind thdse.jpf civilized land* ; but It is a mistake to suppose that none ofclth.pm can read or write, for many can doiljpib' They are mostly terrible intrigahttoi and having no ~BmaU ?hare of evil passions, pride, and ambition, they incite their IpYds to every kind of mischief, but rarely exert any really beneficial sway over them.

Mr. Willis, writing to the Hone Journal' last week, has the following pretty thought: Yet?(pardon me, Spirit of the Prairie t ? what man is there, with liberality of choice, who would be-tfontent to live where there are no mountain's ! Who would tako a9 a gift the famous 'hundred mile prairie' of Illinois?(a farm of the extent of fertile flatness, without a fence I)?on condition of there taking up his abode. I bad never realized before what a cathedral influence tliere is in the mountains we dwell near? how the sunsets and sunrises aro made reverently sublime by them?how the ttorma perrorm glorious anthems with the hill echoes?Low the eye, which is lifted from the valley to the tall peak whereon rests the thunder cloud, carries the heart with it in atj instinct"of involuntry awe ! The niero prairie floor seeins to me a wilderness witaout an altar?Nature without gallery or done?earth without proper cauthedral wherein '.he elements shall unbidden wor? ship God. And the following lively description: To overtake a thunder shower, whirl through it, and outrun it, was the first of the day's exciting uovelties. Wo saw it ahead of us, on the prairie, as ypu *eee a simple hlack cloud iu the-'sky, with sunshine all around it. It was moving in the same direction as ourselves, probably at about twenty miles an hour; and we soon began to overtake it with our bettor harnessed thunder and Itghtning. The conductor pointed the dark mass out to me some ten or fifteen minutes before we entered the outer skirt of the shower; and we were io ' / a pelting rain, with lightning and peals of thunder, for nnrlmnt tun minntoa? ' i- r- ? V"'"S" ing in fair wealber on the other side, and leaving the storm to- lag after us, lik.o the 'atlow coach' that H was ! But, .certainly, it was very queer thus to give thunder and lightning the go by. It seemed to me, somehow, anticipatory -of another state of things. When we go telegraphing about at the beginning of our rpirit travels iu the next life, I am sure I shall have a vague iinpresiiou .of having done something of that *ortXefore?this experience of distan*? .-oil .1 WIH^ ? noia IMIIIICU IIIUUUCI UIUUU UCIUg laid away iu my memory..

The sinnU lirte 9^ rail track, JMajprly hidden ' in grass, ia Tibt recognized by these wanderer over the vast plainr&f the West, and'* while thinking theipselves safe in their own horizon-edged wilderness, they suddenly see t^e coming of the new iftonster.
