A gentleman observed in a thicket of bushes - near, his dwelling a collection of brown Thrushes, who ser,,lra attention by their loud cries and strange move meats. At length curiosity was so much ex- I;ited that he deterini»ed to see if he could ascertain the cause of excitement among them. On examining the bushes he tint n d a female thrush, whose wing was caught in a limb in such a way that she could not escape. Near by was-',';her nest, containing - several half grown birds. On retiring a little distance a company of thrashes appeared, with worms and other insets in their mouths, which they gave first to the mother and then her young: vhe meanwhile 'cheering them in their labor .of love with a song of gratitude. After watching the interesting scene until curiosity - was satisfied, the gentleman released the naor bird, when Fhe flew to her nest with a grateful song to her deliverer, and her chari table neighbors dispersed to their several abodes, singing as they went a song of joy. Affects of Cleanliness. Count, Rumford, the celebrated practical philosopher, whose writings have been of treater value to mankind than the abstruse • speculations of a hut of mltanhysielans, thus . describes the advantages of cleanliness:— "With what care and attention do the feath ered rare wash themselves, and put their plu mage in. order ; and how perfectly neat, clean. and elegant they do appear. Among the beasts of the field, we find that those which are the most elean/v are generally the most gay and cheerful, or are distinguished by a certain air of tranquility and cont , mtm cat, and Einging birds are always remarkable for the neatness of their plumage. So great is the ef feet of cleanliness upon man, that it extends even to his moral character. Virtue never dwelt long with filth ; nor do I believe there ever was a person scrupulously attentive to cleanliness who was a contimmate villain." In youth we seem to be climbing, a hill on whose top eternal sunshine seems to rest. Bow eargerly we.pant to attain the summit'. —But when we have attained it, how different is the prospect on the other side. We sigh as we contemplate the dreary waste before us, And look back with - a wistful eye upon the flowery path we, have passed, but may never more retrai4. — Lire is a portentous cloud, fraught with thunder, storm and rain ; but re ligion like those streaming- rap of sun s hi ne , will clothe it with light as with a garment, and fringe its shadowy skirts with gild. 4r What is it vcu mtist keep afmr'you have given it to aoorner word. . itErWliat 11)111;111 General d.) the ladies ask 1); iu leap year ?

The Boston Post has a pleasant correspond ent at Paris, from whose last letter we clip this Paris is a city of wonderful occurrences.— The suicides are wonderful, the lives extraor dinary, :Ind the deaths unnatural. Of the marriages there are constantly happening the drollest, the oddest , and the most bizarre im aginable, of whichthe following is a speci men. - Madame la Comtesse X****-**, a very rich widow„ living in an aristocratic faubourg, went daily into a populous quarter of the city for the purpose of diptributing alms.., In or der- nut to attract attention and to prevent cu rio she was in the- habit of leaving her splendid equipage and proceeding modestly in an omnibus. It was thus that upon one occasion she addressed herself to a conductor of one of the vehicles who had attracted her notice, by his politeness and attention towards his passengers. *She desired him to reserve fl,r her, at a certain hour every day, a place in the carriage, on the step on which he pur sued his vocation. During many months the place was scrupulously preserved, to the great contentment of the lady. And, to testify her satisfaction to the young conductor, who phys ically, was remarkably possessing,_ she one day abruptly observed to him, "I might easily pass for your mother, for I am humid my fortieth year—but, if my age does aot frighten you, I offer you my hand in marriage, and my brilliant position !'' Notwithstanding his intense astonishment, the conductor took off his cap and at once ac cepted the offer, refusing, by way of generous acknowledgment, to accept of any emnponsa sation for the distance she had already ridden. The marriage was recently celebrated. The conductor finds himself . a Man of 40,000 francs income, and husband of a buxom -person whom it is- his delight daily to promenade with on the - Champs Elysees, in an elegant earache, drawn by a pair of expensive horses, the envy and admiration of all who see them. Is not this a wonderful occurrence, Colonel? Do not be in the least surprised if you hear of your correspondent in an omnibus conductor's sit uation, on the watch for a similar widow a.nd a similar proposition—"fares, .if you please, gentlemen l—o.ne fair in particular."

GENTLEMEN have had the honor to re ceive ydur letter of invitation. It would, I assure yon, give me great pleasure to have the opportunity of saying to myfellow-citizens of Allegheny empty, why I support the nomina tion of Mr. Buellanan earnestly and actively. But, my eneagements here entirely preclude it. I should have peculiar satisfaction in be ing among, you now, - because my last visit to Pittsburgh was on a very different errand. - was there two years ago, ago. member of what was supposed to be the Whig State Committee, with an earnest anxiety to save from insult and defeatyour fellow-citizen, tieorge Darsie, a man of high diameter and unquestioned in tegrity. and who, I thought, (and the result showed how truly,) *as about to ho sacrificed because his birthplace and very early child hood happened to be abroad. With what hallowed, I need not trouble von, but within the next year I found myself oblig ed by mere self respect publicly to renounce all active connexion with this Committee.— My reasons arc before, my fellow-citizens-- and I feel no little pride in the recollection that I did not wait till its moment of decay and discomfiture to express my 'antagonism to that unconstitutional and anti-Republican party, knowasas the Know Nothing Organizaf tion. When 1 - said what I thought about it, it was in its full power of mischief. It is not necessary to speak Of it now. Its honest ad herents (and those were not a low) are lean - - in; it. Its managers, and;dosigners, and eon- trivers, ought never to be forgiven for haying disfigured the political history of the errantry by the tradition, as it his now become, of a party which proscribed a man's religion and drew distinction' between those whom the Constitution and la o:s make equal. . . it destroyed the old Whig party utterly and completely : and when I am now asked to vote for Mr. Fillmore as !still a Whig, or for Mr. Ponelson as a Democrat, I have n, plain an swer, that, as h understand it, each of these gentlemen became an adhering Know Noth ing, or a technical "American," pm.rFed the several degrees of the order. and took its fool ish told-wicked oaths. If this be so—and it. has been openly asserted and never denied—if Mr ntht - F rre. itn e x= - 1 'reßiderrt - of-tho - Un it ed States, ever took int oath' or obligation to ex clude, or aid in exelriding a man front public trust simply oa,account of his religion or Ids • • ) • r 0 II d to Those who were once Whigs are now asked to vote for Mr. Fremont and Mr. Dayton, not as Whigs, but as what are called " cans," fir it seems to be assumed (awl per= haps history justifies it) that nothing, is easier for a Whig than to change his name. If he does it in a certain direction, and ealls him sslf a Know Nothing Or a Republican, it is all very well, bat if he cfn(oses, in the exercise of a manly discretion, stir ulated by local pride, to act with the Democratic party, tts I certain, ly mean to do, there is no end to the denUneia tion he receives. Mr. Fremont, I do not know personally, and what I have read of him induces the to think he is a gentleman of en tire personal res)teetability, of rambling; and adventurous habits of life, and of large 4pecn lative wealth. My gallant townsman, Dr. Kane, has d o ne quite as much in the way of adventure, endured as touch hardship, gain ed as large a scientific fame in the cause of human charity ; and vet I am not aware that he has any Immediate aspirations for the Presidency. He is not a rich man ttnd lives in Philadelphia. Mr. Dayton I 410 knob, have known long and well ; and among all the asperities• of politics, it is very pleasaut to have the chance of bearing testimony (value less though it may be,) to his high social and intellectual positien. lie is worthy of every honor the nation can be , tow on him, although this time his fair ambition cannot be gratified. Mr, Dayton stands on the Republican plat form, hiving within ten years as a Senator voted against extending the Missouri Com promise line to the Pacific (wean, and in favor of the Wilmot proviso ; on the last question, if I mistake not, recording his vote against those of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. Under these circumstances, I see n o especial Claim this ticket has on Whig fidelity. But let me, in candor, ask how can any con servative or national man, especially any Pennsylvanian, vote for the Republican nom itees ? This is a question I should be glad to put and to have answered in your hearing. `be nomination n tale --in -PH - al and I had some opportuniti; Of observing the influences under which it was mode, and the manner in which it has been received. Had the Convention been left to more disinterested impulses, it would have nominated John Mc- E1E3113 6. Lean; ofOhio, of whom it may. ati-least be said, he is a tried public man. still, though sup ported earnestly and heartily by Pennsylva nia—and perhaps for that very reason, he had no chanCe—he was first withdrawn stud then defeated. The managers and fanatics had de termined on another nominee, and of course Pennsylvania was defeated, her delegates sul lenly firing giuis of dismal acquiescence over their _ buried candidate. Mr. Fremont Was nominated, and will ho sustained, I fear, by the fiercest and most sectional fanaticism. I do..not care to refer to individuals, but no one will question that the leading and must active men in that cOnvehtion:wore gentlemen who are proud to call theiriselves "Abolitionists." You. know the opinions of the representatives from Western Pennsylvania. I can answer for -those from the East._ _ They are getuiFl7a avowed and extreme enthusiasts. But the svirit that actuated the convention was not disguised. It was very boldly avowed. There now lies before me - a copy of a Philadelphia newspaper, published at the time and -favor able to the Republican (anise, which records that just before the nomination, -a delegate (Mr. Lovejoy,- of Illinois,) said, "he pro claimed himself an Abolitionist—he thought the party had the disease, and before the campaign was through it would break out all over"—and then, at this cutaneous prophecy, there was btremendous cheering" in the Con vention. Now,- gentle Men, it is'.useless to disguise what sentiment predominated in this body which now claims my allegiance and that of other conservative men. I most reso lutely-decline all such companionship. I=- bound by no such duty. I never will vote for any man who is put foward as a more sec tional candidate. • It may not be uninteresting to you to know how this sectional nomination has been receiv ed here in Philadelphia. the metropolis of the State. Certainly not with enthusiasm, for it seems to me that the men of business here, let the severance of ancient party tics be as painful as it may, will be slow to sustain sec tional candidates—to endorse by their votes _extreme abolition, or any thing whiebloidts like abolition—to put in jeopardy the great commercial interests they have been so long striving to create, and to rum the risk of four years of turmoil and disturbance cm this-hate ful question of Slavery, with all its adjuncts. Thelr second thought is fast teaching them _that Mr linehanan t ttoreil safe. and to then congenial doctrine, when in his letter accept.; ing the Cincinnati' nomination, he said so tru ly find yet so simply, "Most happy would it be fir our country if this agitation Were at an end.

They think they Bce ip the manage ment of the Republican canvass already the use of means that arc wholly illegitimate. I. do not refer to the innocent attempt to revive the musical tactics of ancient days, though I ea bonny repress a smile at the idea of some of my Republican friends hereabouts beeein big melodious. All this is innocent enough. But worse agencies are at work. There is now before me a letter from the Hon. Charles Sumner, endorsing the Fremont nomination, in which I find the following remarkable lanonage: "Oar declaration of principles," says Mr. ,Stunner, "appeals to the *Arciya born, who, rejoicing in the privileges of American citi zens, will not hesitate to join in this holy en deavor to vindicate them against the aggres sors of an oligarchy worn! than any tyranny tf—Ti from who they hare fled. In tins contest there is every motive to Union, and also every motive to exertion." "Now or never, Now and forever." "Such was the ancient war eryembroidered on the Irish flag, streamed irom the Castle of Dublin, and re, sounded through the whole land, arousing u generous people to a new struggle for their ancient rights, and this war-cry may be fitly inscribed upon our banner now. Arise now, or our inexorable slave-driving tyranny will -be fastened upon you—arise now, and Liberty will be secured for ever." Now, this may be considered proper Sena torial rhetoric, but I know no language strong enough to condemn such, an appeal to one class of our population, or so disloyal a corn parisen of our Southern brethren with the butchers and tyrants' of Europe. As an ap peal to the boreign born,. it is per se wrong.— As such an appeal it must he ineffectual, for the naturalized citizen knows too well how hollow such florid expressions usually are.— Ile knows, too, that at the very Moment these words of awkward Battery were written, Mr. Sumner's candidate, Mr. Fremont, has been pronounced to lie in full communion with the Amer:van Order, has accepted an American (th e North American,) nomination and is on the tieket at this very time with your towns man, Governer 'Johnston, for Vice President, whose fidelity to the strictest, Americanism, no one can question. But to sober-minded and conservative men, - the - sorrow must be, and is, most sincere, on seeing any cause thus promoted. No where will there be greater revolt than here in Philadelphia, where the class of citizens referred to have been often petted and persecuted to the top of their bent. I have thus, gentlemen, written to you very much as I should have talked to you, plainly' and unceremoniously—given riv rea sons for refusing ray support, or my viite, to two of the candidates before the people. My individual opinions, are, I am quite aware, of no valne—they can only seem to be entitled to consideration so far as they represent others who have heretofore acted with me.— I believe there are thousands who think as I do. Having thus defined my opinions, if is hard ly necessary for me to say why I vote for Mr. Buchanan, and why I am willing to do any thing in my power-to promote his election.— I look to him and Mr. Breckinridge, as the candidates who, if elected, will give the coati- try what it most nee s, reao,ce, am repress thoroughly and completely all sectional agita 'oP___t slavery.

I have no doubt they will, and,. if there he any humble service that I can render to promote this result, my fel low citizens have ,a right to it.

For the last thirty years, if the Opposition papers are to be credited, a majority of the travelling public have always been found voting against the nominees of the Democratic party. It would be as well occasionally to as 7. certain how this amateur voting progresses "at home." and among those by whom politi cal battles are fought . and.won.
