THE MIND OF MAN. for us, but as they exist, and will exist, in the perception, feeling, thought of the glorious mind. Advice. "At the corner of a business thorough, fare we were accosted by a rather good looking, sturdy emigrant. In a piteous whining tone, he asked us if we knew where lie could get employment—that he had been doing nothing until his scanlvf, means had failed—that he had had notlfT ing to eat lor ihirty-six hours—that he couldn't beg, and that if he could not get work he must either stenl or starve. We handed him our last quarter, and gave him this advice gratis. Hold up your head, speak out like a man, go into that first store, and tell them you want work of anj kind ; if you dont get it, go to the next, and so on : but dont be a baby—people would rather employ men. THE PITTSTON GAZETTE, om, hrjore and after the Dead Sea. O, Sir, if slavery tends, in any way, to give the honor of chivalry, to Southern young gentlemen towards ladies, and the exqui-ite delicacy and heavenly integrity and love to Southern moid and matron, it has then a glorious blessing with its curse. Sir, your inquisitorial committee, and the North so far us represented by them, (a small fraction I know,) have, I take it, ! caught a Turtur this time. Boys say with us, and everywhere I reckon—"You worry ' my dog, and I'll worry your cat." Sir, it is just simply a fixed fad—the South will not submit to these questions. No, not for an instant. We will not permit you to approach us at all. If we are morbidly sensitive, you have made us so. 13ui you are direct! v, and grossly, violating the Constitution of the Presbyterian church. The book forbids you to put such questions. The book forbids you to bfgin discipline. The book forbids your sending' this committee to help common fame to bear testimony against us. The book guards the honor of our humblest member, minister, church, Presbytery, against all this iinpeitinently inquisitorial action. Have you a prosecutor with his definite charges and witnesses? Have you Common Fame with her specified charges and witnesses? Have you a request from the South that you send a committee to inquire into s!an. ders ? No. Then hands off. As gentlemen you may ask us these questions,— wo will answer you. Hut ecclesiastically you cannot speak in this matter. You have no power to mo*o us as you propose. How little is the mind known, or considered ! That all, of which man permanently is—the inward being, the divine energy, the immortal thought, the boundless capacity, the infinite aspiration—how lew value this, this wonderful mind, for what it is worth ! How lew see it—that brother mind—in'others; see it, though fenced around with splendor and wretchedness alike; see it; through the rags with which poverty has clothed it, and beneath the crushing burdens of life, amidst the close pressure ol worldly cares, wants and sorrows j see it, and ucknowledge ir, and cheer it in that humble lot, and feel that the nobility of the earth, that the commencing glory of heaven is there f— Nor is this the worst, or the strongest view of llio case. Men do not feci the worth of their own mines, They are very proud, pejhaps ; they are proud of their possessions : they are proud of their minds, it I may be, as distinguishing them ; but the intrinsic, the inward, the infinite worth of their own minds, they do not perceive.— How many a man is there who would feel if he were introduced into some magnificent palace, and were led through a suecession of splendid apartments, tilled with rich and gorgeous furniture—would feel, I say, as if he, lolty and immortal being as he is, were but an ordinary thing amid the tinselled show around him ; or would feel as if he were a mere ordinary being, for the perishing glare of things amidst which he walked ! How many a tnan who, passing bv the wayside, saw the chariot of wealth rolling by him, would forget the in. irinsic and eternal dignity ol his own mind, in a poor, degrading envy of that vain pageant—would feel himself to be but an humble creature, because, not in mind, but in mensuration, ho was not quite so huge!

His form was made for toil ; Hit clumsy hunds, to till the yielding soil ; His sinewy arm to fell with sounding stroke The towering Maple and the giant Ouk ; His face to burn in summer's fiercest glow, And bear the fury of the driving snow. As of employments there are different kinds, So different men there are of different minds ; When Nature gave a farmer's llesh and bone, She gave a mind for that and that alone : Where the mechanic's sinewy arm she made, We fl ml a talent suited to the trade : Some work with nice design the needful steel; Some carve the stone ; some lay the graceful keel j Others have skill to rear thd lordling's home, The graceful column and the princely dome: Anil thus eech man may act some useful part In his own sphere of labor or of art. There let him stay, content with Fate's decree : Where God has placed him, there he ought to be. 'Tis foil* for a vulgar mind to strain For glittering honors that he ne'er should gain ; Power, fame and glory are by Heaven designed For Fortune's sons—the wealthy and refined Shall the plebian, sprung from lowly Sire, Obstreperous gr»wn, to higher w.ilks aspire ! Shall he insult the glorious list of fame, And din their lustre by a vulgar name !

A lady may twine her'arm around your waist, press a kiss on your brow, or holding your hand in hers, toy with your fingers to your heart's content, and you are perfectly calm and collectcd, and experience no unusual sensations, either disagreeable or otherwise. Perchance a gentleman whom you dislike, or feel slightiy acquainted with, ventures to press your hand ; you snatch it away quickly, the indgnant blood mounts to your forehead, and with flashing eyes you wonder "how the impudent fellow dares to do such a thing." Rather an antiquated specimen of humanity squeezes your hund; you feel mortified for yourself, and morti fied that a man of his years should make should make such a fool of himself, that he should think that you c n really like such nonsense, and above all, that you can like him ; you are vexed at what he has done, and are determined that an opportunity shall never be offered him of doing it again.

(!. M. IttOIIART t U.S. ritlLUrS,Editors Friday, July 22, 1S83. Extract from the Speech ot Rev. Dr. Ross Wc would invite our readers to the following Extract of the Rev. Dr. Ross, which was uelivrrcd nt the lute session of the I'resbyterial General Assembly. It speuks for Itself, and is a complete exposition of the hypocritical cunt of a rcrtuin class of pretending christian philanthropists : You place your hand confidingly in that of your lover, you are not excited nor contused, you have ceased blushing continually in his presence, you experience a quiet sort of happiness, " a little heaven upon earth sort of feeling," you are perfectly contented wilh everything in this terrestrial world, especially your lover and yourself; and yet withal it is a foolish feeling, as you sit with his arms twined around you—that manly arm which is to support you through life; a soft, rosy, happy tint suflusrs your lace as your hand is clasped in his ; ah ! it is a blissful, foolish feeling. '■Sir, why do your Northern church members and philanthropists, buy Southern produots at all t You know you ore purchasing cotlon, rice and sugar, sprinkled with blood, literally, you say, from the lush of the driver ! Why do you buy? What's the difference between my filching this blood stained cotton from the outraged negro, and your standing by, taking it from me ? What's the difference ? You, yourselves, soy, in your abstractions, there is no difference ; and yet you daily stain your hands in this horrid traffic. You tiato the iruitor, but you love the treason. Your ladies, loo, O how they shun the glove-owner at it distun e, in the abstract. H it, ulas ! when they see him in the concrete—when llley sec the slave owner him self, standing before them—not the brutal diiver, but the splendid gentleman, with tris iiiin.islukeuble grace of carriage and e.ue of manners—why, lo! behold, the 1 uly says, "O, fie on your shivery—what u wretch you aref But, indeed, sir, 1 love your sugar—and truly, truly, sir, wretch us you are, 1 love you too." Your gentlemen talk just the same way when they behold our matchless women. And well for us all it is, that your good taste, and hearts, can thus appreciate our genius and at complishiiieiits, and fascinations, and loveliness, and su™ar, and cotton. Why, sir, I heard this morning from one pastor only, cf two or three of his members thus intermarried ill the South. May 1 thus give the mildest rebuke to your inconsistency ol conduct? [Much good-natured excitement.] Let a man hold up his head and act like a man, claim from all persons the respect due to anyone wearing the "human form divine" and speak out plainly his wants, and our word for it he will get along. In this age every thing muM move rapidly, and employers cannot afford to look the world over for a man. • If you expect to accomplish anything, make up your mind !o try, hold up your head and do it. If any one Is in want of a man's services he will not be likely to choose a quiet, motionless body that never geis steam up enough to breathe sixty times a minute—or that has not moral courage enough to look him in the face— those are not the kind. Only hold up your head, look a man in the eye, and dare to let your fine manly face speak in its noble expression of the mind and the energy of soui you possess, ana you neeu ffoi starve nor beg. Every one is in want of such a man, and you are just the one to suit, if you have courage to think so. Never fear to speak plainly and to the point, but you can do this and be respectful. There is a way of doing such things as far removed from insolence as it is from fawning, sneaking cowardice. I wouldn't employ a man to split wood, much less a book-keeper that feared to meet my gaze. 1 should expect that he was conscious of 1 beg leave lo say, just here, that Tennessee will bo more calm under this movement than any other slave region. Ten. nessee has been, ever, high above the storm, north and south—especially we of the mountains. Tennessee, "there she is —look at her "—binding this Union trgelher, like a great long, broad, deep stone —more splendid than all in the temple of Hualbec or Solomon. Tennessee, there she is in her calm valor. I will not lower her by calling her unconquerable, for she has never been assailed—but I call her ever victorious. King's Mountain—her pioneer battles—Talledega-Emuefuu— Horse Shoe—New Orleans—Snn Jacinto—Montere—the Valley of Mexico. Jackson represented her well, in his chivalry from South Carolina—his fiery courage from Virginia cod Kentucky—all tempered Sotch Irish Presbyterian prudence from Tennessee. We, in spirit, have looked on this storm, for years untroubled. Yes, Jackson's old bones rattled in their grave, when that infamous disunion convention met in Nashville, and its members turned pale and fled aghast. Yes, Tennessee, fn iier mighty million, feels secure—and in her perfect preparation to discuss this question, politically, ecclesiastically, morally, metaphysically, or physically, with the extreme North or South, she is willing and uble to persuade others to be calm. In this connection, I wish to suy lor the South tolheNoith, and to the world, that we have no fears from our slave population. There might be a momentary insurrection and bloodshed—but destruction to the black man would be inevitable. The Greeks and Romans controlled immense masses ol white slaves—many of them as intelligent as their lords'. School masters, fabulists and poets, were slaves. Athens, with her 30,001) freemen, governed half a million of bondmen. Single Roman Patiiciuns owned thirty thousand. If, then, the phalanx and the legion mastered such slaves, for ages, when battle wpa physical force of man to men—how certain it is, that infantry, cavalry, and artillery, could hold in bondage millions of Africans a thousand years. So spoke the world when once, by "genius fired, A low-born youth to learning'* walks aspired. Hard was his lot,—by toil and misery bound, Dark was the present and the future frowned ; His scanty clothing had so long been worn, That every garment was to tatters torn ; No wealth he had, nor wealthy friends could claim To lift him up to honor and to fume : Vet shrunk he not—no barriers could control Th' unwavering purpose of hiB giant soul : Not all the fetters of the earth could bind The high aspirings of his active mind. And so long as this is the case, do yon believe that men will understand their own minds, that they know what they possess within ;hcm ? How many, in fact, feel as if'that inward being, that mind, were respeclable, chiefly because their bodies lean on silken couches and aro fed with costly luxuries? How many respect themselves, and look for respect from others, in proportion as they grow more rich, and live more splendidly, not more wisely, and fare more sumptuously every day?— Surel\ k is not siitiiige, while all iiiia is true, that men Dlnuld be more attracted by objects of sense and appetite, than by mir. acles of wisdom and love. And it is not strange that the spiritual riches which man is exhorted to sock are represented in scripture as'hid treasures for they are indeed hidden in the depths of the soul— covered up with worldly gains, and pomps and vanities. It is not strange that the kingdom of heaven, that kingdom which is within, is represented as a treasure buried in a field ; the flowers bloom, and the long grass waves there, and men pass by and say it is beautiful ; but this verv beauiv, this Very luxuriance, conceals the treasD ure. And so it is in this life, that luxury and show, fashion aud outward beauty, worldly pursuits and possessions, attrEct the eyes of men, and thry know not the treasure that is hidden in every human soul. But let some one whom you like very much, not an accepted lover, but one who may perhaps be one one of these days, gen. tly enclose your hand in his own ; what a strange, wild, joyful, "pleasing feeling thrills through you ; the hot blood lenps, dancing, tumbling through you, rushing to your finger ends! your heart goes bumu, bump ! surely, you think, ho must hear it throbbing! for the life of" you, you cannot speak. Alter letting your hand remain in his just long enough to show you are not offended, you gently withdraw it; but perhaps it is taken back again, niter u faint "don't do so," which is answered with a closer pressure, with downcast eyes and blushing cheek, you let the little hand, this first bright earnest of things to come, thrilling and burning with this new ecstatic emotion, remain all trembling in its resting-place. our kate. FANNY FERN. A Boston correspondent of the Newark Eagle is responsible for the statement tliar Ibis lady has been twice married. Ho writes "Her first husband was C. H.

M ush, Hasty Pudding and Suppawn are all the same thins"A friend writes us as follows: In a late number you have something about mush. Let mc suggest for the comfort of those who stir it an hour or t«»o, and then labor a great while to wash out the pot in which they boil it, that all this trouble may be saved by cooking it in a tin pail, set in a pot of boiling water, and after it has cooked, letting it cool in the same, after which it will slip out in a mass, leav. ing all clean behind it. Whosoever tries this plan will never try the old one again, for it prevents the possibiliiy of burning the mush, and dispenses with all care and trouble exeppt occasionally to replenish the water in which the pail is set to boil. As to tlie length of time required the rule is ",the longer the better." Thus the proud eagle to the mountain hies When darts assail and dangers 'round hiui rise j Perches securely on some lofty peak, Smooths his gay plumage, whets his mighty beak, There sits majestic, and with piercing ken Looks down contemptuous on the abodes of men. A rid so may all, with lolly thoughts inspired, By nature gifted and by genius fired, Gihls.—Holmes, in one of his poejus, says, in a parenthetical way— Wliut circumstanced of out word splendor can lend such imposing dignity to any being, as the throne of inward light and power, where lfie spirit reigns (orever ?■— What work of man shall be brought into comparison tvith this work of God ?

Slander may bite, and dark expression frowg, ISu. every foe before the mind roortt fall - Untiring labor will subdue them all, Even as the axe with many a sounding stroke, With crash tremendous fells the proudest oak. No doubt of it; for Holmes is a sensible man ana m.ust have had a sensible grandfather. All sensible men love girls when they are young, and when they are old, too. (We apply the "old" to the men, not to the girls—mind you.) Girl, hood is Sn institution—a "peculiar institution"—which, as lovers of the "union," we feel bound to cherish ; and as to girls, large and small, we hold that no gentle, man's family "is complete without them." Of little girls, pn American poet says— i have little to say of Spirit Rappers, wimen's right's con vent ion ists, Bloomers, cruel husbands,* or hen pecked. Uut if we may believe your own serious as well arfcaricature writers, you have things up here, of which we, down South, know very little indeed. Sir, we have no young Bloomers, with hat to one side, cignr in mouth, and cane lapping the boot, striding up to mincing young gentlemen, with long curls, attenuated waist, and soft velvet face—the boylady to say "may I see you home, sir ?"—and the ladyboy to reply, " I thank ye—no—Pa will send the carriage " Sir, we of the South dont understand your women'? ' right's conventions. Women have their wrongs. "The song of the shirt"—Charlotte lilizabeth— many, many Ihws tell her wrongs—but your convention ladies despise the Bible.

Boys are sometimes endowed, savs the New Orleans Picayune, with remark, able memories. The Keen family, of the State of Texas, consisted of three girls and a boy the latter only three years ojd. They were all silling round the fire one evening, engaged in telling how far back they could recollect. One of the gii'Js recollected when she had "a doll that winked wi:h both eyes." Another recollected when she was "a little baby at the breast and Nancy tickled her feet." Johft/ly Keen, who was the last and the least o( them all, suid he rccollccted "aoust thait lltat."
