hen Lucy joined the family, ahe was sur-
print J and wounded at the cold, scornful and in-
sulting looks with which they greeted her.'And so you have been flirting with Kensington
De Vere; your verdant manner of conductingthe wr, quite put to shame my. generalkhippray, where did you learn Cupid's tactics T' saidLa Papilon. 'I waa ashamed of tbe forwardnesswith which you contrived to monopolize his atten-
tions,' added Aspasia,'Insufferable vulgarity '.' exclaimed the Ma-
dame, 'but thia comes of the introduction ofcountry girls to the city.'
Lucy was overpowered ahe waa like a Iamb,dumb liefore the shearers. They seemed to be
to ahear off every merit or virtue ahe pos-
sessed."I can tell you, interposed the pert La Fapilen,
'that Kensington is desperately in love with JuliaFreelove he proposed to her yesterday, to myrerttun knowledge.
'Both of my girls rejected him before he wentto Europe,' put in the Madame.
Lucy Woked first from one te the other, with aface of anxious, pleading inquiry. She couldnot interpret their strange insinuations, or openaccusations.
'You muftt loam, Mies Graften, that boldneea
and impcrlinance are not countenanced in thecity. If you are in the habit of courting gentle-men, and tusking your attentions very marked tothem, it may possibly do ia the country, but wedo net allow it in the city.' After Mrs. Burkliehad delivered herself of thia speech, ahe lookedto her daughters for approval, and then swej-- t
from the parlor.Lucy was choking with mortification, wounded
pride and even anger, hut hers waa a timid nature, and feared to speak out right. She trembled in the presence of her tormenters, and theirlavish taunts sank pointed and barbed inta hertender heait. Blinding tears gathered to hereyea, and rolled down her cheeks to fall unnoticedin her bosom.
Henrietta and Alverda, having eatisfied theirwrathful envy, left their victim. Lucy, as soonaa ahe realized that ahe waa alone, threw herselfupon a crimson draperied lounge and wept bitterly.
'Why, oh why did I leave home and mother!to court misery! In this splendid spacious mansion, surrounded by the gorgeoua appliancea ofwealth, I am kr more wretched than ever I waain my cottage home, humble, though, it was.
There, all was love and kindness; here, everythingis coldness and aversion. How eaa I bear, withailcnt patience, their scoffing jests and bittertaunts. Vet I must not distress my dear mammaby telling her of these things. She thinks I am

spied, in a large Freach mirror hanging- iu urure vf a man, a "hI mat fig
ure she would have recognized, no matter where she had seen it. Twaa a figure,destined frequently to glide through her dreams
' and brighten, with iu starry radiance, the solitudeof many a coming hour ! Though she had notsen it often, yet waa it set, like a star, forever inher heart. Hoping that she bad not been observed, ahe quietly stole away from the room,never trusting her eyea to follow the figure. Asshe passed through the deor, she encounteredHatty, who was entering, she paused not, butrapidly sped on till ahe reached her own room.and there gave free vent to her grief and alsoto her enthukiaam. For, despite the insultswhich she was forced to bear w ith uncomplainingsorrow, she felt that the mere meeting with
De Vere was ample atonement. She feltthat the cross of suffering waspleVant, when itw as surmounted by suca a crown of blessednessWhat a strange, beautiful mvstery is 'he heart of
woman in love, how it thrills and vibrates, likea harp of many tuneful strings ! What a never-ceasin-g
melody it gives forth! Lucy erniled
through her tears, as the thought of Kensingtonnestled down in her heart, and what wild anddreamful confusion it bred there! The echoesof his manly tones lingered lovingly in the shadowed chambers of her spirit, and sent forthmany a musie note to soothe her anxiousheart!
Aa she brooded over these fancies, she was in'temspted by the entrance of Hatty. Lookingup with a smile, (for her dreamings had dispelled all gloom and resentment,) shewas surprised at the woman's impudent flouncing and murmured criticisms, such as coantryfolk do take on wonderfully when they come totown; but it is easy te tell who is who. Peopleare knewn by their clothes, old silks, faded rags;and then to think of 'em trying to entrap thepick and choose of the gentry, just as if rich menwould look at the like of them. Then to lingein the parlor hav appointments with youngmen that don'i look righ' All this waa delivered in a suppressed tone, jus', loud enough toreach Lucy's ear, and accompanied by numerousinsolent gesticulations. Now surely thia wasmore than she could bear. To receive the insultsof the family waa enough, but to tolerate the impertinence of domestics, required a degree of patience unknown to humanity; yet Lucy, with theendurance of a martyr, submitted even to this audacity.
At tea table, she waa subjected to the defiant
glances of Aspasia, who reigned an OlympianJuno in the Burklie hausehold. Then the tartwords of La Tapilon blent harmoniously withthe invidious allusions of the Madame. To allof this the poor girl returned no re;Iy. Mr
Earklie evidently suspected something, when. hequiet!y,but kindly, asked Lucy if she had pas soda pleasant day. The mother and daughters exchanged significant glances. Of course Lucygave her uncle a satisfactory answer, declaringherself well pleased.
'I should think Miss Grafton was highly de-
lighted he contrived to keep Mr. De Vere byher aide for the best portion ot the day, said LaTapilon, with a toss of her pretty head.
Mr. Burklie made ne answer, for he perceived,from the cloud on his wife's brow that a domesticstorm was rising, and as be wished to escape itsfury, he gulped down his tea and left for hiscounting-roo- His home had for himcharms. His wife had nothing to offer him butcomplaints of her health, which, to every onebut herself, seemed excellent, or abuse of ths wwants. The girls nothing but a fresh "demandfor money; there was always a new bonnet want.e l, ribbon, gloves, dresses, or some gew-ga- thatrequired a, least a twenty-doll- bill, and he darednot refuse, or mamma would be summoned, andin the plenitude of her power, site could draforth the required sum.
After the departure of Mr. Burklie, Lucy Iin
gered a moment at the table, when the Madamespoke up, sayinj:
'Miss Grafton, I was much surprised and offanded to learn that you had a private interview withMr. De Vere after we left the parlor. Now thisdues not look well, and such forwardarss I cannotallow under my roof.'
4I have heard a great deal of the verdaacy ofcountry girls, but I must aay that you are up tothe nicest ruse of a eeartezan, aaid the unblush-ing Aspasia.
'Hatty aaw you sneaking and stealing awayfrom observation. Pray, what private businesshad you with Mr. De Vere ?' asked La Papilon.
Lucy waa overwhelmed w ith amaiement aadanger at lhme charges.
What do you all mean V broke from her lipsmora like a cry of anguish than the proud inter'roation of an insulu-- wr m in.
Oh, lovely innocence!' ths three ladias exclaim-ed simultaneously.
'Hatty aaw you ! Hatty saw you ! er'ad LaTapiln.
' hat did Htlly seev and the words wereuttered with a cold breath and a fraezing tone;for Lucy began to see that forbearance was thrownsway upon them.
tVby were you not svb-ro- with Mr. De Vere!'tr.utrphantly asked Apai

ahe made no answer. 1
Thus wore en several days, varied by an oeca-- 1
ional ride and a crowd efbeaux at night, swarm- -ing like fire-fii- around a candle. La Papilonwaa an acknowledged belle. Her beauty was thetheme of every tongue, and her father's princely
ealth enabled her to ehow it off to the beet advantage. Then Aspasia a literary propensitycured her a kind of authority among the snaillead and half-wi- ts of the city.
Lucy often excused herself from the parlorunder various pretexts, sometimes an accommodating headache, or a letter requiring an immsdi-
ate answer, furnished excuses. The ladies re-
ceived any apology with readiness, for they beganto dread the rivalry of the country girL Sometunes Lucy felt, (on evenings when Do Verecalled,) aa if she would give worlds to have gone
to the parlor, but she adhered to her first resolution, and politely declined.

day ! What a soft suspension from tke troubleand travail of business life ! Wh at a relief tethe spirit, a freedom from the harsh activities of
eekly routine ! An isthmus ef peaceful rest.between the closing and opening week! Tisone of the wisest economies as well as the mostbeautiful practices of the christian theory, thisconsecration of tbe first day of the week to the
worship of God and the performance of religious
duty ! What a grateful sight, on a summer Sunday morning, to watch ths various devotees wend
ing their wsy to the temple of God, each actuated by the same motive, worshiping the sameGreat Being, though at different shrines and ten
der different forms. Yet He who reads theheart will net care how, or in what manner, orat what altar the grateful tribute is made. Tisthe soul which sanctifies the deed. Then, too, thedeep and solemn bell, with its awful clangor, summoning eacn 'and every one to the remembranceof his duty, baa, on this day, a peculiar soundGo to the woods, Nature's great cathedral, andlisten to the anthems of praise wh:eh ascend from
the little gleeful birds. Look at the leaves, how
they tremble, as though bidden souls animatedthem to devotion. Look at the lofty trees,staring away at the far heavens, written all over,
as they are, like the leaves of Dodonaa groves,with their mystie rites; then say, is there not areligion in nature, and may not the true soul enter through this gate to the glories of that upperworld! There is a religion which takes no form,
and assumes no outward garb; it wells op from
ths deep, contemplative soul in praise to its Crea
tor, and who shall say, because it unites itself withno warring sect, but prefers the quiet devotion andsolemn majesty of nature, and its own deep
heart, that it shall be denied the boon of eternal
bleesedness tAs Lucy sat in her room, poring over the
sweet and touching pages of St. John, or soa ringaway with the burning fervor of St. Paul, shewas interrupted by a quick, low knock at herdoor. Her 'come in' was answered by the en-
trance of Henrietta, who said that ahe eame to
ask what church Lucy wished te attend V
Is the Unitarian church near!' inquired Lucy.Oh yes, very convenient; but surely yoa will
not go there !'Why not!'
To that awfully heretical church! why it is not
orthodox !'Therefore, not fashionable was the cutting
reply- -
Certainly not; tis not respectable to go to a
hHerodox church.'Persons must not follow tile dictates of their
own corucicnee, if respectability directs to thscontrary.
They must obey the Bible.But does the Bible specify which church one
should attend!'No, I believe not,' was the confused answer.Well, aa I take neither the Bible nor fashion
for the sole rule of faith, but rather rely upon thewhispers of my own consciousness, I'll go to theUnitarian church
But yoa are not a Unitarian!'No, not as Unitarianism is generally under- -
s'oed, but their creed or theory approximates mywn nearer than any other established society;
therefore I worship with them.But was not your father suspended from that
church for some ef bis religious aberrations !'Lucy reddened deeply. 'I did net know that
my lather's biblical deductions were styled aber
rations.'Well, why waa he euepended !
'For thinking bis own thoughts, and boldlyacknowledging them before men because hewould not vilely succumb to the Powers andPrincipalities, but acted and lived according totke dictates of mighty truth 1
The girl's face glowed and blazed with earnestenthusiasm. If there was one good thing whichshe prized more than another 'twas the memoryof her father, at whose simple and unadornedgrave she had so often knelt in prayer, beggingfor grace to walk in the path which his geniusand worth had made beautiful !
Aspasia said but little more, but it was plainfrom her looks that she regarded Lucy as onewhom the devil had very readily seduced. Witha look of pitiful contempt, she left her.
Thank Heaven!' ejaculated Lucy, 'I hadstrength to vindicate myself and him whosememory is far dearer to me than life itself!'
When she had gotten ready for church, andwas passing through the hall, ahe met her uncle.whose pale, puritanic face was unusually sad andgrave
'Lucy, be said in a sepulchral tone, 'had younot better accompany ua to the Celvinisticcaurch!'
No, Uncle, I must go to ths Unitarian,' andwithout waiting for a reply, she passed out throughthe open doer, aad was soon wending her way towards the proscribed church. And there, withhsart full ot the uveues. emotions, she worship- -
eJ God after the simple but eloquent form of thatintellectual but much-abus- sect. She listenedwita an attentive ear to tne earnest prayer andable discourse of the young minister, whose anx- -
bus, investigating spirit was fast growing out ofUnitananism into a wider range of belief and abroader definition ef faith. Unitarianism, in itspresent limited phase, answers well enough fbasis of philosophical inquiry, but the thi. iaTn;sou! soon darts away from it, and bounds a.oftupon its upward search. The atrange but pleae--in j speculations ef the young divine impressedLucy deeply, and as she, in a musing state ofmind, glided down the church steps, she was surprised to hear the morning salutation breathedin the tones of a well remembered voice. Lookingup, she met the speaking eye and smiling face ofKensington De Vere.
Though her heart beat high with exultation,her face gave no indication of the joy thatreigned within. She was beginning k learn, likeNapoleon, to bind her features in an impenetra-ble mask ef immovability. Kensiagten missodthe wild impetuosity and vital warmth which badso charmed him in their former interview, andhis own enthusiasm received a tremendous checkf om her coldness. Part of the homeward routethey pursued in extreme silence. Now andagain she would cast furtive glances toward
from which an ambushed Cupidlooked out in loving wonderment; but Kenaiag.ton was too deeply wrapt in the trembling doubtsof love to perceive thie".

WEEKLY COURIERAsion, De Vere paused a moment or two upon themassive atone step. Lucy looked very beautiful
her nw blua dress, mode cloak and aimplocottage bonnet. A kind of trepidation stole overher, when aha beheld from the upper window.through the partially-close- d ahutter, the maiig- -nant eyea of Aspasia glaring upon her. Hastily,almost abruptly, aha bade De Vere good morning, atand entered the bouse, fearing the recaireoee tfformer disagreeable seenes.
She passed the parlor, through the open doorwhich she saw La Papilo standing with a
book in her hand, the leave of which she strummed earelassly.
Lucy, Lucy, come here quickly, the gay girlcried, and aa Lucy obeyed the summons La Papi- -

day; pa will not allow ma to have visitors on thiaday. He drives aa off in the morning to hearan irksome sermon, and all afternoon makes meread this odious 'Life ef Calvin,' and look overthia Confession of Faith. Now I don't care a par-ticular five cents about all this doctrine withwhich I am gorged every Sabbath. I dread thisday; 'tis the cross and vexation of my existence.'
Lucy smiled as her eye ran over the pages of ad copy of the 'Life efCalvin.' 'What
do you know of this treat reformer!' sheasked.
Nothing, except that be lived, and died andLa Papilon laughed outright
Bj you know anything of tho burning ofcm Tvtus V
'No, hut I wish Calvin had been burned beforehi life was written; then I shomld have boon
spared a groat trouble.'When the conversation had reached thia point,
Aspasia knocked at the door. She entered withhr an e11 in extension, a dark, cloudy browand a mock-earne- manner. 'Alverda,' she saidin a solemn tone, 'have you the 'Life ef Calvin 1
I wish it for an hour er so.''Yes, yes, here it is; I've read my hour,' and eke
joyfully surrendered the volume.
'Alverda, I shall tell papa that you have boontalking heterodoxy with Luey Grafton.'
'Indeed, I have not have I Lacy! 'and thewild girl actually trembled with fright; for theaingle werd 'heterodoxy' was a 'raw-hea- d andbloody-bonee- ,' that terrified her more than thsgrave itself
Lucy exonerated La Papilon from any blame,
and Aspasia that their conversation hadtaken no heretical tone.
'But I heard La Papilon laugh aa I entered thedoor, and both papa and mama will be indignantat that. Tie a crime te laugh on the holy day.
I didn't laugh.' ,Yee you did.' And the twsisters were soon engaged in a domestic brawl.A ea I commentary was it to Lucy upon theirrigid observance ef Sundays. A great harm itwaa te laugh or look cheerful, but ne ain to malign the doctrines ef others, to bear false witnessand quarrel and bicker !
A summons to dinner put an end to this voluble war.
The dinner bad all been prepared the day previous, and waa now aerved up sold; for thesegood people held it a great ein to do even a workof necessity on the Sabbath. In their Uut reverence they forgot that the faviour healed thesick, cleansed the leprous, and plucked tho earsof corn on the Sabbath day. In their exterminating spirit they exorcised even good workslike these.
Mr. Burklie, in a prayer of some fiftoea minutea length, and in a profound, nasal twang, im
plored a blessing upon their bount'ful supply offood. Luey new felt that she must watchvigilantly and govern the muscles ef her face
An involuntary laugh would have been high treason.
Mr. Burklie eat in solemn state, with a sobor,
clerical face; the Madame had hers dyed deepiu the wool. Aspasia looked the very embedment of Calvinism; even La Papilon was subdued by the influence of the gloomy faces aroundher. The dinner waa despatched in solemn silence. Aspasia intimated that she had a charm
to make against La Papilon, for violation of Sunday. Mr. Burklie, with a wave of his hand, admonished her that on Monday he would hear thecomplaint and administer punishment. La PapiIon made a grotesque grimaoe, signifying that ahewould give him a chance.
In the afternoon they assembled in the parlor,and Aspasia read aloud frem the 'Life of Calvin.'
It waa with difficulty Lucy could prevent hersomnolent lids from closing. Mr. and Mrs. Burklie seemed to swallow down every word with absorbing interest.
At last this day, like all others, had its closeWhen Luey threw her tired limbs upon thecouch, she inwardly thanked Heaven that chehad been reared in a faith less austere, andligion more loving and simple. For this Sundaywhich at home she was wont to consider so de'
lightful, seemed to her now never-endin- g andwearisome. The day which the Christian shouldsurround and consecrate with eheerful influences;
to be rendered so and dark, seemed toher a heinous sin.
eniPTEa viuSeveral days after the one recorded ha the
above chapter, aa Lucy aat conversing with thefamily, ahe waa surprised to hearone of the servants ask La Papilon to walk out into the hafor a few moments. After a little while theblithe girl returned with a large and rare bouquetin her hand. There was a strange expressionupon her countenance, which puzzled Lucygood deal.
'See, only see what a handsome present Kensington De Vere has sent me,' and she flourishedthe bouquet around.
Lucy and Alverda admired it a great deal.'Ah, you little coquet, said tho mother fondly,
'I expect Kensington will renew his addresses.'Oh, dear, but he gave my hand a very meaning
pressure the other evening, and such a look ! justthe kind that he used to give me in days lang--
syneand away Ja fapilon went, bumming.'Tis said that absence conquers love.' In a shorttime ahe returned, equipped for a walk, with herblue hat and elegant embroidered mantle; herchecks beautifully rouged, her curls oiled andfloating about her checks in the most artisticgrace.
How well you look, darling, eaid the proudmother, as she gazed ipon her child. 'But stay,is not that coloring a little toe deep upon yourcheeks. It is rather suspicious, besides, a delicate hue is the mo it becoming.' So saying, shepassed an unsoued handkerchief ever each cheekdecreasing the bloom considerably.
Oh, mama, you have left mo not a particle ofcolor; I am very pa'e now,' and forthwith La Pa-
pilon ordered Hatty to bring her the rouge sau-
cer, and her cheeks. Thus bedoekod,she started out for a saunter down the principalstreets, assuming her prettiest expression, inorder to catch the beaux.
'There goes a girl,' said Mrs. Burklie, who wasformed by nature for a belle. 'Tis astonishingwhat an impression she makes in every circle.She enchains whole drawing-room- s; the mostintellectual men seem fascinated by her; yet shecalls herself a mere butterfly; I suppose 'tisher amiable caprice of nature that eo attracts
I them.I The bhe seemed to resent tke idea of LaI Papilon's possessing power over intellectualI men.
'I am sure, mama, ahe never held any powerover Mr. Doole. Her frivolity disgusted ratherthan pleased him.'
'Oh, but be is a poet, and not to be judged bythe common rules. There is no raises able way
I to aeeoont for his idiosyncracies.'
A gentle ring of the bell broke the conversa-
tion, and the servant announced, with much cere-
mony, Mr. Doole himself.
Aspasia began smiling :n tke most bewitchingmanner, whilst the Madame bestowed uponhim her profouadeet bow ef we'.eora. Lucyspoke with a degree of courteous diet a ace. Thepoet was sooa happily domicilia'.ed, made quite athome in a comfortable, cushioned chair, andquoting poetry ly tks reai.
Again the bell sounded furious'y. A sort of
quick, hasty ring, indicating no eeremoniousvisitor. Soon after, the servant entered, bearing
on a silver salver a neat little enveloped note,addressed to Miss Graften. Lusy looked sur-
prised at it, but upon breaking the seal, shediscovered it was Miss Farmington's bill, bywhich she learned that she was indebted to hertwenty dollars. She excused herself from the
parlor. After having paid out tke sum, she dis-
covered that the had only two dollars in her
fvne. A &d feeling was this to be aloe far
CHEAP PAPER FOR Til Ml OFlIllSS,from heme, in a groat sity amid strangers, andwithout money! She clutched with aviditythe two remaining dollars, and secured them inher purse. Oh, how she longed for tho rest sndquiet of her home! Her experienco of city lifewaa brief but bitter. She shed a few girlishtears, and walking to the window, she looked out
the gay passers-by- . Suddenly La Papiloncame tripping up, leaning on the arm of Kensing-ton De Vere; her face was radiant with smiles.He seemed rather sad; a kind of pensive playful-ness characterized hismarmcr. Was it jealousy!
as it envy ! or was it a pang of injured lovethat darkened Lucy's face! Certain it ia, novery pleasant thoughts were stirring her bosom.
Long she mused alone; in fancy she went overthe scenes ef her earliest childhood; every spotthat adorned the waste places of memory, shevisited again. How natural it is tW irgreat sorrow in after life sends the heart back tochildhood's holy recollections! It seems thatthere existed an intimate connection betweenour greatest sorrows and our earliest joys.
The wild laughter and buoyant tones of La Papiloa fell drearily on Lucy's ear; she strove tocatch the notes of Kensington's voice, but r.otone could she hear.
The shades of evening were etealinr slowlyand slantingly over earth. Tho lamps, one by
ne, were beginning to flicker like fire-fli- in thegathering darkness, when she saw hirn leave thehouse. She watched his form until the last echoof his retreating footstep had died upon thepavement. Then came that dreariness of ssulthat only a disappointed woman can understand;soon she heard La Tapilen's light step upon thostair, and her merry voice humming a lightsomeditty. The spoiled beauty felt that she had aohiev-e- d
a great triumph. She had won the attentionsof De Vere.
That evening, when tho family had assembledsocially in the library, sho entertained them withan account of the fine things that had been whispered into her ear. Lucy listened with an apparently careless munner, but every word sank deeply in her heart.

Motsrt. Editors: I was ideated to ace a few dayssince the opinion expressed in one of your editorialsmat Tiuiara! and Hardy wuia probably be thecandidates of the American party for Governor andLieutenant Ooverner ef Kentucky at the next election, with your prediction that tliev would be tri-omphtintly elected over bo h Whiirs and DemocratsThere u so much good sense iu your suggetiun thaticiui out nopj me result will justify your supposition,If the Amercan party be what the payers indicatethey desire to rmtify the ballot box, protect ourcivil and religious institutions, and enlarge the realuueriies or the people. 1 hey could not better comruenco so commendable a woik than by placing atthe head of our Strife gevemment such men as Oo.w. v uiiams and James G. Hardy one a Whig andthe other a Democrat men of hich moral asd political standing, posss in a iu a hich degree bothhonesty and capability not only Americana, butiveaiuc&utns in near; aud soul as a matter oipoucy, also, this would be the btst seleot.on tkeycould niak;-- because the immense accession would begamed to them of the friends of Temperance. I sayimmense, becanse I firmly believe that not less thanuny tnou and voters of this State are now nnrnynnited to promote the grand canse of prohibiten,inis party has been formed slowly and flrmly upona solid busis, and nothing but success will satisfythem.
While I believe, with the American party, thatAmericans ought to rule our country and fill everyomceoi power, prolit or trust in the whole land,still I can hnt believe that a thousand fold more evilis done by the liquor sold to eur people by foreignersman tuey couia possibly effect as olhcer or toGeneral or State Governments. I believe, with theAmerican party, that Roman Catholic influencethreatens the best interests of oar country.and thatli suuicienuy powerful, it would be wit idea to uproot and crush our civil and religious liberties, andtherefore that it ought to be rut down. But still Ithink that whisky and its cognates present at thistime, a more alarming and dangerous front to themorals and prosperity of our pi op'.e, and threatenwith more severity our civil libe tv and political
tnan au tae aliens and foreigners put together. If, therefore, you put these two partie;together, aud at once establish a true American party, worthy of that name, and strike iu earnest at allthe evils, foreign and domestic, now mnking inroadsupon the peace, hr.ppiness and safety of all we holddear and sacred, theu, indtcd there would be hopelor our btate aad joy in many a saddened teartSuch a party would have the prayers of all Christians, and would t hailed with joy and gladness byevery irue patriot.
Another reason for this union is found in the answer to the following Question :
What is the creat cause of the oncn and avowedInfidelity, even iu uniform,"parading the streets ofiiouisvme and other cities? 1 thuik it is easilytraceable to the use of ardent spirits. "The fenst ofreason and flow e: soul" of those who reject themole is usually engendered in the poisonous cup,Ail moral restraint and dies in the excessi ve ue of liquor. Maddened by too frequent po-tiitious, tho passions and vicious propensities gounbridled and seek shelter ia pretended contemptior tne religion of the Bible. I heard the iter. vt.Maclay not long since state from the pnlpit that hwas personally acquainted with Tom Paine, andwitnessed his death. That Tame was a bloateblue noed drunkard, and that he died drunk, wallowing in his own filth and vomit. How suitablefor the followers ofsach a man te pledge his memoryin the poison that killed hi.n and degrades them.Hw fit a representative of those who scoff at divinethings and weuld level society to their own degraed condition. Is it not time that Americans werelooking to the interests of their children, and ban-ishing the groat canse of crime, infidel tv, fromtheir country. Can the old party organisation berelied on to accomplish this great work. Thesedemagogues have too long lived by tha vitality ofwhiasy and the refreshing snowers of foreignvotes.
If a man has, as now, to wads through doggeriesand pander to visions appetites and foreigu prejudices to secure a civil or political st ttion.he is utterlyunfit and disqualified in morals and iioncsty to dis-charge properly the duties of bis office, and if youcut off the influence and take away the support ofthe foreigners, still h is unfit because his moralsand hones y are still goce. But some member ofthis American party Diay say: If we tike on theTemperance party we shall loosa our whisky members. Ana 1 would reply: If yoa shoulder whisky,you deserve to lose every Temperance man in thState and, in addition te this, you would give thelie to all your professions as a party. How will youpurify the ballot-box- How will you elect yonr mento office if the State is still to be flooded with whisky f
Long experience nas shown tne absurdity of suchposition; and unless we are to have an improvementupon the old party organization, I, for one, wouldsay.lcttlcm continue.
Nothing would give me more pleasure, Mr. Editor,than to have your views on these subjects, and especially to see such a paper as the Courier workingstill border for all the great retorms we so mncneed. Yours truly. SPECTATOR.

Yesterday morning the Police Court was thronzodwith visitors, to hear the investigation of the casewhich recently ocenrred at Mount rleasant, whereiu tne ladies asseinbb d and destroyed about twcunared dollars worth or liquors, the property ofAir. ratterson, who was abort to open a tavernthat village, at the stand known as the "VaukirxHouse." The casks containing the "hardwarewere stored with Mr. Daniel Labeyteaux, and hebeing their cu3touian at the time or their demo.tion, appeared as prosecuting witness In the cum,Warrants having been issued at the instance of MrLaboyteaux, some twentv individuals, ladies andgentlemen, were brought into Court. The ladieswere most of them young, and all of them pretty.ana seemta w enjoy themselves heartily in th'courtroom.
Although the entire work of destruction wasplanned, attempted and consumxatcd by the ladies,their masculine friends merely standing by to feemat it was wen cxecuteu, tne rrosecuiing Attorney, to the surprise of every ue, called upon

Rather Warlike K. Vs. Look Out.In the latest New York Citizen itppears an edito
rial article from the pen of John Mitchell, in whichthe following advice is given the military companies compoaea ei iorcigjiers recently disbandedMassachusetts:
'For every mnsket given to the State armorvlet three be purchased forthwith ; Ifct independentcompanies be formed, thrice as numerous as thedisbanded corps theie are no Arms Acta here yetand let every 'foreigner' be drilled aud trained, andhave his arms always ready. For yoa mey be verysure, (having tome experience iu that matter,) thatthose who btgin by disarming you, mean to do youmwebief.
Be caret ul not to trnckle in the smallest particu-lar to American prejudices. Yield not a single jotof your own; for you have as good a liht to yourprejudices a they. Do not, by any means, sutlerGardner's Bible (the Protestant Bible) to be thrustdown your throats. Do not abandon your pofrt, orrenounce your functions as citizens or es soldiers,but after resort to the hut and highest tribunal oflaw open to you; keep the peace ; attempt no
discourage drunkenness, end standto your arms.
It is hardly to be conceived that the madness offaction and the insolence of race, will proceed tofuc'.i a length as to disarm independent companies,or private men. If they do, then the consiitntionis'titancnd the allegiance yon have cworntothijRepublic is annulled.
Vi'ould to God that thoughtful and just Americanswould bethink themselves iu time. They ae stroDg;they far the foreign born ; they areproud and flushed with national glory and prosperi-ty; doubtle s they can, if they will, do great andgrievous wrong to a race that has never wrongedthem; but seriously, earnestly, we assure them, thennluralited citizvns will not submit. The senseless
must be reconciled; there n:a-- be peace; peace,ev elite a war of extermination. We are here, onAmerican ground, titlier as citizens er as enemies.'

Cutting Peed for Sleek. 'The importance of cutting hay, straw and oats
for stock feed, and mixing it with grain, has at--raeted the attention of intelligent farmers for

The advantagos of feeding cut over uncut hayto horses and cattle are very plainly set firth inthe following article taken from the Wool
U rover." We commend it to the attontion ofour readers:
It u generally admitted to be rood economy tocut hay for cattle, if it is of au inferior quality.much less being wasted by the Biu:al; and it awardsan excellent opportunity of mixing meal or shortswith it. by way ef seasoning, making it more pa
as well as more aatriuous. But many hraterohave their doubts whether it pays te eut good hay,whether much benefit is derived from toe operationIn the way of rendering it more easy of d je-ti-
Ac. W itu a view to settle the question, the Worcester county, Mask&cbutett.s, agricultural societyoScred two premiums of 30 and iiO fer the bestexperiments on the subject, laying down the rulesaccording to which the experiments should be conducted, wi.ich were briefly as follows
ine trial to be made with at least two animals, asnear alike in cenditicn, age, ic. as possible, thetime of trial to last at least eight weeks, divided intopened ot two weeks each, one animal to be fedwith cnt while the other is fed with uncut bay; thefeed of each to be reversed at the expiration ef tweweeks, and so on alternately each two wksduruuthe trial. If any other food except hiy be given.(imcn as roots or meal ) the same quantity to be given to each, that th? in re'atiou to ths cuttingthe hay be not effected by other food. The animalto be kept In the same stable, and at the same tem-perature. Ehch animal te be weighed at tbe com-mencement ef each two weeks, aud at tbe dote ofthe experiment. The same kind of hay (what is mu-all- y
called English hay.) to be used during the wht-l-
time. The time of giving food and drink to be reg-ular, and also of milking. The time of weighing tote in the morning, and before t ie animal has seenallowed to drink.

It is Been that in every one of the experlmenthere is a greater increase of ajimal from the cutthan frem the uncut hay; tbe difference in the quaotity of milk is small, but hi faver of the cut fbed. Itis, iu our opinion, te be regretted that tbe same animal was not kept on the same food during the ws.liicngtn ur no experiment, and aat save ensuredthem every two weeks; for iumich short periatisitis very uoud:iui it me scales will at all indicate correctly the actual gam in fat or flesh of the animallucre is no doubt, however, but what the experiments were conducted with great care aad accuracy.and the results are so uniform as to confirm theopinion cf thoso who think it good economy to cutevm good bay. Mr. Haves makes tbe fallowingremarks iu his statement to the committee:
"A great advantage in ca.ting bay, at least forworking stock, was very obvious during tbe wholeof this experiment; before the ox feeding on uuentnay n a gotten one-ha- tiiroug.i with his allowance,the ox whisu bad cut food bad eaten up what wagiven mm, and was lying down taking bis rest; ar.this at noon, when but little time is allowed for eating and rest, must be an advantage ef ne small importance.
Mr. W. S. Lincoln says:"Sometime before commencing this experiment,
I was feeding my stock on what weald be called peorstock hay, with an allowance ef roots. I com-menced cutting this hay for all my stock, young andoia, (,1b ncaa) cccupymg me about an boar andhalf daily. Almost simultaneous! v with feeduie- - wi1the cut hay, was an increase of milk, very perceptible as it was milked la the pail. From day to daythe milk increased so, f om the stock I have de-
scribed, as to require the substitutisn of six quartfer four quart pans, which had been previously used.I think 1 am within bounds in saying the increasewas over a pint daily, per cow, ecc asiooed, to thebest or my knowledge, solely by the use of cut hay

T. H. Matterson, ef Sherburne, .tshecaugo coanty,X. Y, that were esteemed as fine specimens a? everhad been seen by the members of the Gob. Theyare supposed to be of the sort known as " peachblow," and "old English white." Both are uf thekiud called round potatoes, and are of remarkablespecific gravity for their size. Ths weight of theeeis 17 and IS ounces each.
Mr. Matterson says: I send these samples In pr. ofof the accuracy of yeur recent stot ment that po-tatoes have not bten more plentiful or of betterqaality for years. A piece of ground from which,last season, I had only about 15 bushels, has thisyear yielded CO, and wuh no change In the mode ofcultivation; besides either of the samples I youis as large as aay four I dug last year. As f..r as Iknow, the ciop this year is abundant, and the quali-ty excellent, and I see no earthly reason why thecitizf ns of Xew York should be compelled to paysuch exorbitant prices fsr this important vegetable,except the one you have lately given, vis: "the lutcr-- e
its of speculators.'Mr. Robinson remarked that the place where
these grew was, perhaps, 1,500 feet above the sealevel, aud had not been effected by drouth as muchas ether sections.
From observations this year, he Is satisfied thatdry seasons, with late rains, ia moderate quantities,are the best r potatoes, because the roots thattake up ths pabulum lay close to the surface. lie isiu favor of planting larye whole potatoes upon deep-ly plowed land, but near the sniface, and cultivatedlevel. Never hill your poiatois. A 1 the manuringshould be by er lichtly incorporatingthe fertiliser with ti e si:r.i.ce siL The great thingfor potctoesis pt and cari-on- It is a good planto mulch the laud deeply, afier the potatoes areplanted, and never do anything rtore them. Forseed potatoes add more mulcting, and let them re-main in the bill until spring. Good crops ef pota-toes have been grown under swingietew, upon grasssod.
Prof. Ifapes I tried an experiment bv coveringthe seed with salt marsh hay, cpou mellow soil. Igot a good crop, but the hay dried away and be-came toe thin, and all the tnbers that eame to thelight were bitter and unflt to eat. When the pota-toes are under the earth, mn ching keeps it moist,and aiTords the right kind of fertilizer as it decays,and is washed down to the roots ky rains. HilUjigpotatoes is an stupid folly. Blacksoils, or those full ef carbonaceous matter, are al-ways bctt for potatoes. They want nitrogen andcarbonic acid. The great wei htot these specimensindicates that they are rich in starch, aud that is
hat makes heavy potatoes the most valuable.One man upon the Newark nierdows rawes 500bushels of potatoes per acre, year after year. Allsu-:- land, when freed of natural aciditv, a the bestsoil for this valuable crop.
Agricultural.Turnips. A Massachusetts farmer who has ex-

It Is proba-bly owin to this ict of degenrracy that turnipshave been so little cultivated in this conntrv, whilethey have the salvation of the Engfbh ten-ants enabling them, more than any other crop, topay their rents. The jrrctt mutton and wool cropof England is ma le ef these roots, and many a tutbuilocit would not have got above calfdom but forEnglish turnips.
Our correspondent asserts positively that freshlyimported seed will produce turnips here as good asin their native soil, and of double qnantitv.ua com-pared with seed of roots grown iu thi country lorfifteen or twenty years.
From fivshly imported seed the roots grow firmand ik-1'-, with small leaves. From seed of tarnipslong grown in this country, the tops are very rankand larjre, and the bottoms pithy, and often worth-lea-

This may be oorrect, for we 4a notknow at what time be made the important discoverythat the mould board could be mads of steei insteadof iron, neither do we know at what time Mr.Rouner first made one ef steel, but we do know thatmany years ago , at least ten, he would ask bis customers which they would have, there being a difference in the price.

She baa heretofore maictained her-self chiefly by service in the capacity of a nurse,having the reputation of being a most excellent one;but, for a few months past, her health hae aot beengood enough for her to practice tMe vocation.

Her figure is not erect Like too many tall peo-ple, she seems to strive to appear shorter by assum-ing something more than the Grecian atnop,"which has the usual erect of making her look toilerthan she is. Her complexion ia fair, ber eyes blue,and the very modest and mild expression of hercountenance Is aaid to be a true index to her char-
acter.We are aasared that she never, as florae, takes
an Infant In her arms, but always holds it in herhand. Placing the head upoa the end of her finger,its feet extend toward the wrist, and with the thumband Utile finger elevated, she f rma an ample andadmirable cradle the length of her hand being quiteequal to ths whole length of an infant.
