Fortner continues to present some re monstrances against a division, but the bill | will not bo acted upon in tho Houso for a wPtk or two to come. Tho Danville people had a hearing before tho Committee on last Friday, and those apposed to tho bill will be heard to-day. The Apportionment bill will take up tho ! time of tho House for two weeks', and w ill J doubtless bo amended in a dozen ways. I A bill will pass tho Senate to-day giving j courts jurisdiction in all divorce cases. It is j highly pesirable that those applications I shot'M be kept out of the Legislature.

It is conceded that Senator Best is univer sally despised, but, to the shame of human nature, it must be confessed that he still ad herents, long after ho has ceased to have friends Whilo he has a vote he has power, | and a set of cringing sycophants fawn about I him, tremulously lick the liand that smites them, and doat upon him as the filthy bird feeds upon the mass o r corruption.

Delicate hints of my error were ' given to my wife.

We are both wiser and happier from the lesson, and laugh at tho world for troubling itself about our harmless pecca- | dillos. ] CIIAPySR IX. Amtime movecFon and our children grew up, we had some more amusing illustrations of the fickleness of human One of our neighbors decided that our Edmund was a most vulgar and boorish boy. Mrs. For syth decided that ho was an insolent and o verbearing young fop—that he wa haughty and aristocratic to an intolerable degree. Mary, our oldest daughter, by one half of our neighbors was decided to bo stupid,while the other half of Bogstown pronounced her j artful and mischievous. Sarah, the next in j age, Mrs. Prim declared was too slovenly & | penurious in the taste of her dress ; and Mrs. , jAray, per contra, was most positive that Sa- J rail Poe of all young ladies was the most ex travagant and proud of her finery. Many thought me rich enough to do without their patronage, and some again hinted that I was no better to do in tho world than I should be. Do not think from tlivt, kind reader, that I had no friends among those around me. I had such as the world gives. Do not think that I wage indiscriminate warfare and en mity against mankind. I cull the fair flow ers of life; and am not frightened when their thorns wound me for a moment. God has made nothing that has not tho beautiful and ! llio good in it. The evil around lis, mail has entailed upon himrelf by the frailty of his own nature. Ho among us who is per fect may reproach his erring neighbor, but ono wiser than man has taught us to pray, "forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us." Wo aro not made to live for ourselves a lone, but a wise man will find his enjoyment in the prosperity of all'around him 1 know that the world is very selfish, but I think thr' only a maniac would propose for him se.i the task of correcting every evil around „ him. When we aro young and enthusiastic, we propose to wage an uncompromising, o pon, life-long warfare against error. But as I time rollson i: brings us new reer.ii cf pru dence, and much of the time that our youth allotted to teform others, we find it nocessa- I ry to spend in resislingthe temptations to our own ruin. Wo cannot of ourselves alone I reform all the abuses that exist in the world; and should be satisfied if we can do some good and alleviate a little of the misery en dured atound us. If each one will under stand this to be his mission on earth, and act accordingly, a life of this kind will lie one continued round of worship to to tho Giver of all good. In concluding this article, indulgent read er, you must endure this philosophizing. I know that such tilings aro difficult to appre ciate, to be taken in tho spirit in which they are written. My perplexities ir. life are not over, but from those which aro to come, 1 shall strive to learn wisdom. My aim will be to profit by the ovenls that lite shall bring, to enjoy its blessings and avoid its sorrows. I shall find my happiness in see ing my family virtuous, prosperous and con tented. Their joy will bo my joy, and rheii welfare my gratification. It the world be comes too selfish, I shall laugh at it the more heartily; but by works I will pray the more earnestly for its reformation to Peace, Purity and Charity.

On one side we have politicians by profession, whose business it is to get into of fice if they can, and turn out the inns, as fill ing places that are wanted by the outs. On the other side we have the masses of the people, who look on, and only act when 03- casions call them to the ballot-boxes, so that the agitations of the politicians are not the agitations of the people. Talking with a gentleman just returned from the South, a few days ago, "Well, what did you hear down South about the dissolution of the Union V "Not a syllable is there said about it," he replied. "I heard nothing of it till I reach ed the city of Washington." This illustrates the point. The politicians want to gel into office in 18552, and Ihey have grown so au dacious, having no Bank or Tariff to figlu about, that they have even dared to elec tiooner the Union, and put the Constitution itself in place of those issues. This is de plorable enough. But wo have not made those organic castles of such frail materials as to be penetrable to the shallow arts of po liticians. The misses of the people will take care of the Union, andthe politicians will have to take care of themselves, if they can : for many whfi may ride on the billows, where they conjure tho storm, will, like Rubespieru and Danton, find themselves engolphcd be fore a calm succeeds. Tha masses of the people are always sure to correct, if nut promptly chastise the errors of demagogues, as well asthecupidity of office-hunters. The did so in 1800, and again in 1828, and they will do it again in 1852. The heavy tread ot the masses is now echoing around us, and 10, when that legion appears, like the rising of the sun on Afacbeth's witches, who man ufacture "hell broth," the hags of night will "vanish into air."
