THE HISTORY OF SIXTY-SIX DAYS. Care has been taken to make the state ment herewith presented to the people truthful. The struggle, of which it is Intended to convey a faint idea, was one of great se verity ; the principle underlying it com pelling the gentlemen Who adopted it to lay themselves open to villiflcation, mis representation and threats of Violence, from a majority arrogant, vulgar,corrupt, unscrupulous and powerful. ■ To condense this history into the com pass of a single newspaper publication nas been a difficult one, out as the! actions which took place during the contest are incessant themes of explanation, ive hope it may be found of service to those who have no ready means of access to the “ Senate Journal” and “ Legislative Rec ord” of 1804. As recorded thero it is a mosttriumpliantvindication of the course of the Democrats, who were compelled to adopt it for the safety of the constitution. Tuesday , January 5, 1864. tho Senate met. Upon calling the roil, thirty two were present; absentee, Henry White, (Indiana,) prisoner of war in the South. John P. Penny, of Pittsburg, had been, in accordance YVlth custom, chosen Speak er at the end of the session oi 1863. The roll was made up of— Democratic Members, . Republican Members . 1. Bcardslee, Wajme.’ 1. Champnoys. Lan. 2. Bucher, Cumberl’d. 2. Connell, Plulad’a. 3. Clymcr, Berks. 8. Dunlap; Lancaster. 4. Donovan, Philad’a, 4. Fleming, Dauphin. 5. Glatz, York. 5. Graham, Allegn'y. 0. Hopkins, Wash’n, 0. Hoge, Beaver. 7. Kinsey, Bucks. • 7. Householder, Som. 8. Lamberton, Clar’n. 8. Johnson, Lycoming. 0. Latta, Westm’d. 0. Lowry, Erie. 10. M’Sherry, Adams. 10. M’Canalcss, Butler. 11. Montgomery, N’d. 11. Nichols, Philnd’a. 12. lleily, Schuylkill. 12. Ridgway, Philad’a. 13. Smith, Montg’ry. 13. Allcgh’ny. 1-4. Stark, Luzerne. 14. Turrell, Susque’na. 15, Stine, Northamp, 15. Wilson, Tioga. 10. Wallace, Clearfield. 10. Worthington, CU’r. The practice under article 11, section 10, Constitution of Pennsylvania, had .been for seventy years, and now is, to elect a Speaker, at the opening of each session, as soon as the roll is completed, and then to qualify new Senators. Pen ny refused to vacate and allow this. The Democrats took the only tenable ground —that assumed in the protest ol Hopkins, Latta, Montgomery and Beardslee —re- fused to consider the Senate organized. Tlie Republicans affected to consider the body organized, although they had, with their opponents, unanimously agreed, in accordance with the Constitution and custom, “to proceed to an election of Speaker,” under a motion made by Lam berton. Four ballots were had—l 6 for Clymer; 16 for Penny. Then Johnson, (Lycoming,) intervened, with a request, “to read a bill in place.” The attempt to organize in that fashion was too much; Penny ruled it out of order. Eeily, (Schuylkill,) moved for a iifth ballot. — Connell, (Philadelphia,) demanded the yeas and nays, and Roily* being affir mative, lost, because the vote, of course, was 16 to 16, in which case affirmatives always lose. Then Johnson, by favor of Penny, read his bill “ without leave.”— M'Candless, with duo legislative gravity, desired a committee to inform the House that the Senate was organized! Lost — 16 to 16. Connell wished to adopt the rules of 1863. Lost—l 6 to 16. Then an other interlude about a wish from the Republican side to repeat the lead made by Johnson, but without coming to a de cision on that point, Johnson got up his motion, and the vote 16 to 16 killed it.— The Senate refused to adjourn ; to elect a Speaker, to vote for a Clerk, Librarian, or the numerous other dodges of the Re publicans to perfect the right of Penny to the Speakership. Among which pro ceedings was a resolutions of Lowry to open a friendly correspondence with Jef ferson Davis, looking to the release of White. This was talked over, but not voted upon. At length, some of the Re publicans, voting with the Democrats, the Senate got adjourned until the next day. Wednesday, Jan. 6.—As soon as the Senate got together, Johnson again "read a bill in place.” Stine objected, and was overruled. If he had called the yeas and nays, being affirmative, he would have lost—l 6 to 16. Connell proceeded “to read a bill in place” without leave. Cly-' mer objected, contending leave must bo had. Penny did not decide imperatively, but gave ,it as his opinion that leave “would be proper.” On Clymer’s de mand for yeas and nays, Penny stated that the Senate would decide how it “ wouldproceedwithltsbusiness,” which was not the question at all —vote had, yeas 16, nays 16; so leave was refused. — Lowry now tried his hand at having Pen ny recognized on the strength oftheabsen tee White’s political status. Lost. Con nell, again, to recognize the organization as it stood; Lost. Lowry then came on with a resolution of thanks to Grant and the army. Yeas 16, nays 16. Of the nays, Clymer, on behalf of his party friends, said; * ‘lf the Senator would offer such a resolution after a proper organiza tion, he and they would vote for it heartily and gladly. As it was they had voted no.” Ballots then took place to a tenth for speaker. No result. Clymer now stated that his party friends were willing to allow the Republicans the first choice of offices in the Senate, the Democrats the second, alternating until the organization was perfected, stating at the same time what was generally believed and com mented upon in the newspapers, that White’s resignation, (which was discov ered to be dated November, 1863—n0 day of the month given,) was in the hands of some one or known to some one present. In the meanwhile an eleventh ballot took place—l 6 for Clymer, 16 for Penny. Low ry was surprised to hear of the resignation. Penny had “ no official knowledge of it.” Lowry narrated in a rambling manner a history of a rebel Major Jones who wish ed to be exchanged for Major White, “but no one would'put his hand to the help.” Clymer then gave his authority for stat ing that White’s resignation was in the State (an assertion soon proven). [See Judge White’s letter of December, 1863- Senate Journal, pp 96.] Many speeches followed, when Fleming concluded his speech by “ calling the order of the day,” which no one paid any attention to, but the Senate got adjourned after a couple more calls of the yeas and nays upon mo tions not necessary to repeat. Thursday, January 7.—Lowry, feeling “ his responsibility,” wished a chaplain —yeas 16, nays 16. Johnson wanted the case of White resignation investigated— yeas 16, nays 16. Connell presented a petition, under protest by Laraberton.— Lowry wished Senate to organize, and at tend the inauguration—lost; Hopkins stating that he and his party would vote for the Grant resolutions most cheerfully, so with that for Prayers, for Inaugural ceremonies or any other proper motion, but would not do so until the Senate was organized; stating, also, that “ no matter what the motion was before the Senate, they would oppose it, until a Speaker was constitutionally chosen." This was con clusive on the status of the Democrats. — Governor’s message now read, under pro tests of Democrats. Veto messages were read, Democrats refusing to vote. Some other routine transactions occurred, and the Senate got adjourned on a call of the yeas and nays, 16 to 15, Nichols “ being out.” This was the only legal act per formed by the body since its meeting. Friday, January B.—Ridgeway moved to adjourn until January, with the un , derstanding that a general “ pair off” was to apply; that is, if a Democrat was ab sent ifhd a Republican present, or the re verse, some on either side should not vote, thus in one sense yielding all the Demo crats contended for. Motion adopted, without protest. Then a resolution to keep the anniversary of the victory of New Orleans wasoffered from a most un expected quarter, for such a patriotic pur pose, by Worthington. Lost, 16 to 16. Graham now moved to increase the pay of the privates in the army. Lost* 16 to 16. Beardslee movpd fsr another ballot. Lost, 16 to 16. Republicans all voted no. Connell interposed a motion about the opinion of the Senate, which was lost,;as well as one by Bucher to “ takea ballot.” Ridgway moved to adjourn. Yeas 15; lost. The Senate then took another vote for Speaker—the twelfth.' Result, 16 to 16. M'Candless now moved a resolution of thanks to Meade and his army for their bravery at Gettysburg. Clymer repented what he had said before on behalf of his party friends, “ as with the resolution in respect to Gen. Grant, so with this one, (and all other ones, when the time ar rives,) not only myself, but every Demo cratic Senator here will vote for it,” and with this the resolution was lost—l 6 to 16 —without further debate or explanation on the part of either party, the Senate ad journed. Tuesday, January 12.—Johnson appear ed for Penny, the power of whom to de pute protested against by Stine. One or two reports got read, and adjourned. Wednesday, January 13.—Senate refu sed toelect a Speaker; to print documents; to agree with a lawyer named Knox that the Senate “ was legally organized ;” to adopt the “ lawful currency of the coun try” in payment of the State interest — all proposed by the Republicans, upon which Lowry, Champneys, Graham and others expressed their views; when Hop kins, on behalf of the Democrats, protest ed against the whole course of proceed ings, proving, in their protest, presented by Hopkins, that from 1794 to 1864 “ no Speaker had ever attempted to qualify new Senators” —never administered “ an oath before an election’’-that the “ Speak er’s chair had, always been vacated du ring ballotings” for the place—that his parliamentary title was “ late Speaker.” In 1842 there were 35 ballots for Speaker; in 1855, 27 ballots. In both instances, and in every other, the Speaker of the late Senate vacated his place. Debate about some matters of phraseology. The Speaker (Johnson) requested “ time,” to decide the points made in the protest of Hopkins, and the Senate adjourned. Thursday, Jan. 14. —Senate agreed to meet the House to count the vote for Gov ernor, and negatived all other motions. Friday Jan. 15.—Senate refused to bal lot. Lowry had a letter read from a law yer named Coffee, stating that the Senate was legally organized,” but was not sure “ that his opinion had more value than that of others,” but gave it notwithstand ing. Hopkins had a- letter read from Governor Packer, a former Speaker of the Senate, sustaining the course of the Democrats, citing the case of Judge Tod in 1814-15-16. Lowry moved to postpone the whole subject—lost 10 tqlO. Adjourn ed. Jan. 18. —A speech from Johnson, who was still modestly occupying, under pro: test, Penny’s place, from Champneys and others ; then refusing to adjourn or hear resolutions 12 to 12, and finally adjourn ing. Jan. 19.—Governor inaugurated " du ring a recess,” and the Senate refused to print the inaugural 11 to 11, but agreed to adjourn, on motion by Kinsey. Jan. 20.—Refused to vote for Speaker, 14 to 14. Connel made a long speech, fol lowed by Wallace, Turret, Kinsey, and all the talkers, upon the subject of organ ization without result, ending with amo tion by Johnson that White’s vote “ should be cast by the Speaker;” motion ruled out, and adjourned. Jan. 21.—N0 debate. Met and adjourn ed until 25th. 25th and 20th nothing done. [Note. — By this time Penny was tired of nis position, some of his party friends also, as it was patent to all, that White’s resignation was in possession of some of his party associates, and that the question was not on organization, but who should be Clerk, after organization. To this disgraceful condition had the tactics of its Inferior officers reduced the position of the most dignified body in the Common wealth. "This explanation is necessary to be kept in mind when reading the pro ceedings now to bd noted.] Wednesday, Jan. 27 —Refused to ballot; refused to print papers; refused to frank White's documents; the Democrats re fused to stultify themselves on one of the endless “ soldier” resolutions; a long ses sion ; nothing done. Thursday, Jan. 28.—Beardslee had an article read from a Republican newspaper in Wayne county, reiterating what was now a current subject of conversation, that White the father had White the son’s resignation in his hands! Further, that White, by virtue of his military office, had vacated his civil one, and that the real bone of contention was the clerkship. This, being true, made a great noise. The Senate talked the matter over a couple of hours aud adjourned. Friday, Jan. 29. —Motion by Republi cans to pay Interest on State debt “ in pa per,” lost, 9to 9. Motions by Democrats to ballot for speaker, lost, 9to 9; to ad journ, lost, 9to 9. Motion by Connell to " read a bill which he said “ alt the De mocrats in the city of Philadelphia were in favor of."

Johnson again plead for his soldier voting bill: lost, 9 to 9 and after much talk tbo Sen ate got adjourned this day without a quo rum, as also on the next day, Saturday, and for three days. Wednesday February 3.—Penny being absent, Johnson appeared as Speaker, and with the adoption of the Journal, a letter from Judge White, father, covering re signation of his son. The Judge, in his letter, dated February 1, 1864, says the resignation was “more than a month” reaching him at Indiana—[December. 17, 1863, to be exact] nineteen days before the Senate met, in the mean-while its con tents well known to many officials at Har risburg, sufficient time clasping to have notified Penny of the fact, and to have had St. Clair in his seat on the 11th of January: was dated Libby Prison, No vember [see father’s letter for date,] 16, 1863. No time to be lost now for Johnson said “ writs had already been issued” for an election to fill the vacancy, almost proof positive of the grave charges made by the Democrats during the contest.— Motion by Democrats to ballot for Speak er. Lost 11 to 11; Republicans to vote for Clerk. Lost II to 11; to adjourn. Lost. After long debate about “ all things,” on a Republican moton to print White's res ignation, adjourned.

Tuesday— Committees announced; all other business carried by yeas dnd nays, interrupted by a demand of Hop kins to elect a Speaker—lost 15 to 10. Wednesday —No business unless under call of yeas and nays, which was found a slow process by the majority, and as a clerk and other officers had been elected, Penny prepared to descend, and finally did on the 9 th of March, in a long speech, in which he took care [page 369, Leg: Eec. 1864] to avoid the main question at issue, or to do justice to the principles of those who resisted his usurpation. Ho was re elected 17 to 16. After this the Senate transacted busi ness as usual; Penny, as his predecess ors and successors have done for 70 or 80 years, resigning at the close of the ses sion. This is the history of the position of the Democratic party for sixty-six days, and no denial ofthe correctness ofits position, or the truth and fairness of this statement* is possible. GENERAL RANKS AND THE I.OITISIANA KEVOLUTIONISTS. It is but natural that General Banks should attempt to defend the revolution ists of Louisiana. The Convention of 18- 64 was a child of his administration. It sprang into existence in obedience to a military order .issued by him. The dele gates in many cases were named by Gen eral Banks, and some of them were cho sen on board of the United States gun boats, and the certificate of election sign ed by men not citizens of the State. When the Convention assembled, its proceed ings were dictated and directed uy Gen eral Banks, and thus the farce was carried to its legitimate conclusion. As this Convention was gotten up in open and plain defiance of the elementa ry principles of our government, it is no wonder that the .Radical revolution ists adopted it as one of the agents to fur ther their scheme of insurrection, riot, and bloodshed, or that the parent attempts a defense of his child. In the National Republican of the 2d inst., appears the following letter from General Banks; Washington, D. C„ August 1. 7b the Editor of the National Republican, Sm: A communication published In your Jour nal this morning, signed “ William H. C. King,” gives an Incorrect representation of the condi tion of affairs and the causes ofthe recent mas sacre In New Orleans. Its Intemperate tone dis closes and defeats its purpose. Nevertheless, knowing the history to which it refers, I deem it my duty to say that in'my opinion it is unjust to the loyal men of Louisiana, and unworthy of credit. The Convention was the ostensible, and not the latent cause ofthe outbreak. It was a peaceful and lawful assembly. One word from the recognized authorities ofthe United States In Now Orleans would have secured its adjourn ment. There were other causes of offense than the convocation of this assembly. Its members were, and had been, firm supporters of the govern ment, and decided opponents of its enemies,— They were, therefore, nmneed men. The wounds inflicted upon the body of Dr. Dostio will show, by their number and result, the intent and as surance of his murderers. I knewhlmwell. No country over gave birth to a more unselfish man, a truer patriot, or a more devoted friend of liber ty. Ho and his associates were dangerous men to the enemies of this country. The unseen hand that smote him was that which applied the torch to the city of New York, and by which Lincoln fell. His death will be avenged; and in this, ns In all trials of good men, the blood of the mar tyrs will be the sustenance of the church. I am, sir, respectfully yours, etc. N. P. Banks, The assertion made by General Banks, that the Convention “ was a peaceful and lawful assembly,” Is at strange variance with the facta presented in our article of the 4th Inst. There is no one fact to show that the body was lawful, when viewed in connection with the action proposed by its friends and supporters. They claim ed for that body delegated power from the people to act upon an amendment to the Constitution. This power was never delegated to them. They did not repre sent the people. They were usurping; power which did not belong to them, and hence they were not a “ lawful” body. That their intentions were not peaceful is evident from tiro speeches and actions of the leading men of the Convention. — Meetings of negroes and idle, abandoned and dissolute white men, were convened by the friends of this Convention, at which inflammatory harangues were ue livered calculated and intended to pro voke a breach of the ponce, and lead to tumult and disorder. At one of these gatherings, Dr. Dostie, one of the leading spirits in this fierce and bloody conflict, openly counseled and appealed to his ne gro hearers to arm themselves and repair to the Convention, and protect the meet ing by “force and blood.” Other ad dresses of a like sanguinary character were delivered by men prominent in the Convention movement, and the result was that the negroes did act upon the "force and blood” principle, and hence the disturbance. These are the surround ings of a body which General Banks calls a “ peaceful assembly,” but the leaders of whiehlMajor-Generai Sheridan says ‘ wore political agitators and revolutionary men.’ But General Banks, from a general de fense of the Convention, descends—if there can be a descent —to a highly col ored eulogy upon the delegates to that body. He declares “ its members wore, and had been, firm supporters of the gov ernment, and decided opponents of its enemies.” Of Dr. Dostie he says : “No -country over gave birth to a more unsel fish man, a truer patriot, or a more de voted friend of liberty." General Banks must have a bad or convenient memory, the celebrated race through Virginia must have sown seeds which are now producing fruit, or he would not have made such assertions as those quoted from his letter. Both “ Governor” Hahn and Dr. Dostie were notorious for their oppo sition to tile government at the outbreak of the rebellion. They were not only “rebels,” but the leaders of “rebels.” — The New York World thus paints the political portraits of these model patriots, according to General Banks : Dr. Dostle, six years ago, was a dentist in Chi cago. Ho migrated to New Orleans and pursued his business with no great success in that city.— When the war broke out, having to some extent the gift of gab, he became a ranting “rebel,” ad dressing street gatherings and departing reg iments. With want wind there was in him ho fanned the ilames of secession and “ilred the Southern heart.” Butler came and ho was a • “ Union” man. Banks followed, and he was an ardent aspirant and Anally successful applicant for oflico. Ho then fought his battles lor the Union by rising in the parquettes of the Opera House and the varieties Theater, waving a two shilling callfco Hag. and shouting to the orches tra to play “ Hall Columbia.” Ho succeeded on two or three occasions in producing a panic among hundreds of frightened ladles in the au dience, once nearly achieved a riot, closed the Opera House, and compelled the orchestra of the Varieties to play patriotic all's by military order. This sums up Dostle's services to the Union. A rabid, ranting faiiatlc, ho was naturally a “ reb el” while rebellion paid, and he as naturally fell into the Radical ranks when Radacalism was more remunerative. Hahn, at the outbreak of the war, from the ob scure position of a Afth-rale lawyer, brought him self Into notorlty by making Hag-presentation speeches to fifteen or twenty of the Confederate regiments which left Now Orleans for Richmond. Of course, ho was early in the Held as one of But ler’s “ Union” men, and Banks made him Gover nor. His governorship was a farce, and so was his subsequent sonatorshlp, for ho has never been seated, and there Is a properly accredited contes tant for the scat. But hehashung around Wash ington all winter, and has been in daily, almost hourly, Intercourse with such men as Sumner and Stevens. 1 These are but samples of the mou whom ADVERTISING TERMS.

'General Banks, in his anxiety to defend the Convention, declares “ were and had been firm supporters of the government.” Xu truth, they were unprincipled adven turers, who sold themselves to any party which would purchase such material.— Hahn was the agent of the Congressional revolutionists, and Dostic operated In the negro line in New Orleans and other places in Louisiana. The latter was in the Convention, the former out of it, but actively engaged in fanning the flame of discontent among the ignorant and the abandoned, who were ripC for bloody deeds. • The attempt of General Bank's to prop tlie revolutionary Convention in New Orleans, and exaltsuch men as were prominent in it, is a miserable failure, and will be so regarded by the nation when all the facts are fairly stated. — Age. THE RICH AND THE POOR. I will say for example, that you are a working man, earning a pound or two a week, and that I am an independent per son with an income of ten thousand a year. I will not take the example of a king, because 1 apprehend few persons in their senses would aspire to that uncom fortable position. Well, then, we are both men, with the same senses and the same appetites. As regards our animal natures, you eat; drink, and sleep; X can do no more. Provided we both have suf ficient, there is no real difference in the satisfaction we derive from these indul gences. My meal may be composed of the so-called “ delicacies of the season,” while yours may be simply a steak and potatoes. When we have both laid down our knives and forks and cried, ‘ Enough,’ the sensation is the same in both cases.— Xf you hanker after my delicacies, you own to a desire simply to give your pal ate a passing gratification. Your food is really more wholesome and nourishing than mine, and, if you were content, you would enjoy it quite as much. The real fact is, that these “ delicacies of the sea son” arc invented and concocted for me, or because there is any great amount of enjoyment in the consumption of them, but because I have a vast deal of money to throw away. I merely conform to a fashion in ordering and paying for them. I began with salmon, for instance.— You think you would like to have sal mon every day for dinner. Try it three times running. Why in old days, before railways established a ready and rapid communication with the London mar kets, the servants of country gentlemen residing on the banks of the Severn, the Toy, the Dec, and the Spey, made a stip ulation in their terms of engagement that they would not be fed upon salmon more than three times a week. Pheasant and partridge aredelicaciesof the season; but always to dine on pheasantand partridge would be less tolerable than perpetual breed and water. There is nothing for which a.raan should be more thankful than an ever-recurring appetite for plain beef and mutton —nothing except the means of indulging that appetite. Those highly-spiced dishes, called by fine French names! which are set upon the tables of the rich and great, are more cooks’ tricks to stimulate the languid appetite. To hanker after such things is to have a long ing for physic, not for wholesome food. — Many grand folks who habitually eat theui are miserable creatures, who have to coax their stomachs at every meal pitiable victims of dyspepsia and gout. People who envy the luxurious feasts of the rich should know that the wise men who sit down to them only make a pretence of partaking of the so-called good things that are placed before them. X have heard that the cabinet ministers, before they go into the city to the Lord Mayer’s banquet, dine quietly at home on some simple and wholesome viand, knowing that here will be many dishes on the groaning tabiesof Guildhall which they dare not touch. The Queen spreads her table with all the most elaborate pro ductions of the culinary art; but she her self makes her dinner off a cut of simple mutton. Cook as you will, and lavish money as you will, there is no exceeding the enjoyment of that carter sitting by the roadside thumping his bread and cheese. —All the Year Found. Somebody te\ls the following story, but neglects to tell whether the sufferer was a Federal or Confederate officer. The af fair occurred on the occasion of a grand review in Charleston: “ The commanding general had engag ed a fine looking charger that had been doing duty in a bread cart. The troops were formed in line to bo reviewed, and as the band struck, up, the general and staff came galloping down in front to a good round pace, when, just as he was passing the center of the line some fellow in the ranks knowing the characteristics of the animal, sung out ‘ bread.’ Theold horse, true to his habit, when hearing the word, came to a 1 halt,’ and as a mat ter of course, pitched his rider over his head, and landed him, spread-eagle fash ion upon the grass. . “ Discipline could not stand it, and there was a roar of laughter from One end of the line to the other, including several hundred spectators. I think I never saw so mad a man in my life. Hejumpedup, drew his sword, aud for a few moments it seemed as if ho would take the life of every man on the ground. He stormed and raved, offered untold wealth for the name of the man who did the mischief but I doubt if he ever knew. Fneversee a general and staff galloping down the line that I don’t think of the scene and the way that high functionary went to grass.” JCgy Se veral persons were gathered round a warm stove In \V -'s store, the oth er evening, having a social chat, when tlie conversation turned upon the subject of the veto of the Freedman's Bureau Bill. This elicited quite a warm discus sion. Uncle Johnny H ■ —, who hud remainedasilont listener (an old gent who cannot boast of much bobk-larnin) at last was called on for his opinion. “ Wall, gents,” said he, “ it’s my 'pin ion that old Johnson didjes right In vo toin’ that ere bill; for our taxes are high enough now, without raisin’ money to buy them darned niggers a bureau, when there is lots of white folks haln'tgotabu reau to their names.” Uncle John’s opinion was of course re ceived with much applause. £Sr An Irishman who was brought up In tho police court, charged with whip ping his scolding wife, declared that he was guilty of no offence, and that he was acting in strict accordance with an ordi nance of tho Board of Health. “ Sure, your honor,” said he to the judge, “I was only a-bating a nuisance.” BST A glutton of a fellow was dining at a hotel, and in the course of the “ bat tle of knives and forks,” accidentally cut his mouth, which being observed by a Yankee sitting near by, he bawled out, “ I say, friend, dont’ make that ar hole in your countenance any larger, or we shall all starve to death.” Love is as necessary to a woman’s heart as a fashionable bonnet to her bead. Indeed wo think, rather more so; for nothing less than a large measure of love will content her; whereas the recent fashion has shone that she call bo satis fied, -with a very little bonnet.
