Ma,lge Carlton was the gay(.4t huh- bru nette that ever fluttered. buttertl -like, amongst the flowers of siwiety. Mwlge was an heire.s. a coquette, not a flirt * for she would not intentionally have wounded any one for worlds : but she could not help be ing pleased with attention, and showing she was pleaAed. Ma , lge was tiny, beautiful, bparkling. loving. and lonely. 310 algt• 'aelton had two lovers. Of 'admi rers she hail a ...core but there were two men who had made it the first object of their life to love bright little Madge. One loved hopefully. earnestly endeavoring to win a return. the other loved sadly,,sileat ly not daring to woo the tiny fair one. Harry Wells was hand -ovate, talented, rich, a good dancer, a perfect gentlenuin, and a gay idler in fashion's hiuits. Law rence Hayes also talented', but quiet and reserved. He had been Mr. Carlt t m's clerk for seven years, and had loved 'Madge when she was a win , ome school girl. He never " wade love" to his idol. He was poor. shy and proud ; and could not stoop to try to'win the heiress, hut he looked on when Harry Wells courted her, trying to think he should be happy if she married and was happy with his rival ; crushing back his own ardent, unselfish love into hopeless sorrow. Which did Madge prefer ? She knew these men loved her. Lawrence had never spoken, yet with a woman's quick instinct, she felt his love. She flirted gayly with Harry ; rode with him ; and aceepted his at tentions; yet with a perfectly frank, easy manner, shedtept a wall dice betweeen Har ry and herself; and while ho oould not tell what prevented him, he still felt that he hid best not tempt his fortune yet. She was not so frfie with Lawrence. Gay. laughing, and radiant, she had a pretty, shy manner when alone with him. He attributed it to his own ten years seniority,and longed for the frank, girlish manner, she exhibited toward H arty ,y et,w hen he conversed with her, draw ing out the treasures of a well stored mind, and a pure, womanly heart, hidden under her gay manner, he sighed to think how great was the treasure he coveted. Some times he wished poverty could come to his employer, that he might gather his treasure close to his heart, shield her from every sor row, and prove in adversity his peat love. Under the grave resew° of his manner, itotaesuspected this burtung passion. None? Madge did ! .It was the evening of the ball.

Harry, of course' Lawrence was watching her little figure flitting from guest to guest. finding phices for dancers, and with merry grace putting bashful folks at ease, introducing couples, prompting timid girls, carrying smiles everywhere, leaving a streak of sun shine wherever she went. She stoo.l before him. The smile diedout, and she blushed crimson. " Mr. Hayes, shall I have the pleasure of dancing the first quadrille with you ?" Lawrence bowed, offered his arm, and led her to a place. lie thought: "This is her duty dunce. She knows I am grave, and would not win ths admira tion of the gay beauties here, sr her kind heart pmmpts her to dance once with me." Harry was Madge's next partner; then other guests were invited; then Lawrence again : then again—three times, but others came between ; then La%reme sighed as he noticed how gay and chatty she was with others, how timid, quiet, and reserved with him. The evening spetl on; it was quite late, and part of the guests had made their de parture. Some, however, yet lingered, dan cing in the large parlor.

At the last meeting of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Science. lir. S. Weir Mitchell made a very interesting communi cation on the , -al,ject of the poison of the rattlesnake. A fter adverting to the-history of the various works on venomous reptiles. lie proceeded to explain the anatomy a nd physiology of the poison apparatus of the rattlesnake. lie sbovved first, by the aid of magnified drawings of the parts, the bony stnieture of the jaw and the manner the various parts were articulated together so as to keep the poison tang in such a position. when not required for ui-e, as not to inter fere with the feeding of the snake. and then the manner in which it Kos pushed forward and brought into the position most favorable for striking with effect. lie then explained the action of the various muscles, by which the fang was drawn back and thrust forward, and showed how one of these, while erectin i and fixing the fang, at the Finnic time as soon as it had pierced the animal bitten, compressed the poison gland and forced the poison out, either through the duct leading through the tooth to the bottom of the wound, or beside it and into the surface of the same. Ile then explained the position of the poison gland and its duct, and showed the manner in which the poison was prevented from flowing out when the fang war not erected. When the fangs are torn a4ay they are soon replaced by others; indeed they appear to be regularly shed by the animal, ao that it gives no security against a fatal bite that the fangs hare been rernomd. ThPpoison is contained in the poison gland in considerable quantity, as much as 10 to 14 drops having been procured from a single one from' a snake about four feet long. It is of a pale greenish color, and its activity is not unpaired by keeping for years. It may be swallowed., if the skin of the month and throat be not broken, with impunity. Its poisonous properties are not destroyed by boiling or freezing. After it has been dried it may beagain restored to all its virulence by again disqolving it in water. There appears to be no absolute 'antidote to It. r ate most successful plan is to give some powerful stimulant, such as iskhits or ammonia. When the spirits are en it is necessary to keep up the 'tin:m ust fully for a considerable time. The quantity sometime, taken without pro ducing intoxication, is very great ; in one case specified three pinta of strong spirits were given. The doctor remarked, how ever, that at one of out military posts it wan common - tor the men to be bitten by isttleenekes so long as the whiskey cure was toed' but *teen a difllivent and nauseous stimbllnt win substituted the bites rapidly dimbdahed in freqweney. &Vows ler brtets.—The following quer tiossire led sornewheee.

Correspondents Between Secretary Cobb The following is 4(4tretary Cobb's letter tendering his resiptation, and the Presi dent's reply: *Ammo:nos; City. Dec. 8, 1860. My Dear Sir:—A sense of duty to the State of Georgia requires me to take a step which makes it pro ) c e r that 1 should no longer continue to a member of your cabinet. In the troubles of the country consequent upon the late presidential election. the hon or and safety of my State are involved.— Iler people so regard it, and in.their opinion I fully concur. They are engaged in a struggle where the issue is life or death.— My friends ask fur my views and counsel. Not to respond would be degrading to my self and unjust to them. I have according ly prepared, and must now haw& to them. en address which contains the calm and solemn convictions of toy heart and judg ment. The views which I sincerely entertain, and which, therefore, I am bound to expriat.s, differ in some respects from your own.— The existence of this difference would ex pose me. if I should remain in my present place. to unjust suspicions, and put you in a false position. The first of these con,e (motives I could 'bear well enough, but I will not !subject you to the last. My withdrawal has not been occasioned by anything you have said or done. Whilst differing from Your message upon some of its theoretical doctrines, as well as from the hope so earnestly ex pre,..0,1 that thernion can yet be preserved. there was no practical result likely to follow which reluired me to retire front sour administration. That ne cessity is created by what I feel it my duty to do: and the responsibility of the net, therefore. re-t- alone upon myself. To say that I regret—deeply regret—this neeetssity. but feebly expresses the feeling with which I pen thus communication. For nearly four year. I have been associated with you as one of your Cabinet officers.. and during that pert > i nothing has occurred to mar. even for a moment_ our personal and official relatams. In the policy and measures of !,our administration I have cordially concurred, and shall ever feel proud of the humble place which my name may occupy in its history.

I may add that I have been entirely satisfied with the ability and zeal which you have dis played in performing the dutlta of your im portant office. Cordially Teciprocating your sentiments of personal regard, 1 remain, very respect fully, your friend, JANLS BUCHAN AN. Gen. Ow lulu resigned the Secretaryship of State. A letter from Washington says: Gen. Cuss is a native of the rnit^l Stat e s which adopted . the constitution. He lived in the town where the convention was held; remembers distinctly the rejoicings et the birth of the confederacy ; has grown with its growth and strengthened with its strength, and"he as nnw unwilling_ to be present at its last expiring gasp. Having witnessed its birth, he says he is unwilling to remain here to witness its dissolution.— Hive he retires from the cabinet. but with the kindest feelings for President Buchanan and each member of the cabinet. whom ho complimented highly as honorable and pa triotic men. In the conversation npon the affaini of the Union between the President and cabi net, the President and Gen: Casa are said to have shed tears at the probable fate of the country. ' Another letter from Washington says: The President is deep li exercised and grieved at the departure o his old and val ued friend Gen. Cass from ong the coterie of Kis most intimate advisors. But he has taken s stand against coercion, to which he is sustained by the Secretaries of the Army and Navy, and will abide the issue. Gen. Cass is preparing a letter to the President, in which he will explain his reasons for leaving the cabinet at this critical period. It is well known that Oen. Cass has had in contemplation for some time resigning his seat in the cabinet, owing to difference of opinion between himself and the President in regard to the _propriety of sendisg_s.ddl tional force to Fart Moultrie. On Flick; his resignation was accepted by the Presi dent, not, however, until the matter of dif ference had' been fully and deliberately agfeed upon by all the members of the deliberately net, with the sddititittal counsels of that wise, able and discieet, patriot and soldier, Gen.

The Warning Voice of Henry Clay. The Hon. Henry Clay, in a speech made as long ago as 1g39, warned his countrymen, in a strain of impassioned eloquence, of the dire consequences of abolitionism and northern attacks upon southern institutions, and in reading his remarks, every one will he strikingly impressed with the fact that what lie then predicted has actually come to pass. We make a few extracts: A WARNING AGAINST MPOLITIONISTS Abolition should no longer be regarded as an imaginary danger. The abolitionista, let me Puppoo.e, succeed in their present aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free States as one man against the inhabitants of the slave States. Union on the one side will beget union on the other, And this process of reciprocal consolidation will be attended with all the violent prejudices, embittered passions, and implacable animosities, which ever degraded or deformed human nature. A virtual dissolution of the Union will have taken place. while the forms of itsexistenee remain. The most valuable element of u nion,"mutual kindness, the feelings of sym pathy. the fraternal bonds which now hap pily unite us, will have been extinguished forever. One section will stand in menac ing and hostile array against the other. The collision of opinion will be quickly followed by the clash of arms. HIM PICTURE OF TUE COVIOCQUEVCIE. I will not attempt to describe scenes which now happily lie concealed from our view. Abolitionists themselves wouldshrink back in dismay and horror at the contem plation of desolated fields, eonflagrated cit les, murdered inhabitants, and the over throw of the fairest fabric of human gov ernment that ever rose to animate the hopes of civilized man. Nor should the abolition ists flatter them-elves that. if they can suc ceed in their object of uniting the people of the free States, thet• wilt enter the con test with numerical superiority that must 7 ensure victory. All history and experience prove the hazard and uncertainty of war. _And we are admonished by 1144 Writ that the race is not to the swift, nor the bat tle to the strong. THE ro•ttl'EßEß AND 'THE COXQI - EILED. But if they were to conquer, whom would ' they conquer? A foreign foe—one who had insulted our flag, invaded our shore., and laid our country waste? No. sir; no. It would best conquest without glory—a self, ' suicidal conquest—a conquest of brothers over 'pro her., achie% ed by one over another portion of the ilecyndants of common an ce.tors. who nobly pledging their lines. their fortunes. and their sacred honor, had fought l and bled, side by side, in m.iny a hard bat tle on land an d oceifn, severed OUT Country TrOlll the crown, and established our national independence. 11,1.1 CE or st ACTION The inhabitants of the , lave States are sometimes aceused by their Northern breth ren pith di-I.laying too touch rashness and sensibility to the operations and proceed ings of i gbold.oni-ts. Itut berme they ran be riglffy judged there should be a rever-al of conditions. Let me supixe-c that the people of the slave States were to form soci eties, subsidize presses, make large pecun iary contributions. send forth numerous missionaries throughout their own borders, and enter into machinations to burn the beautiful capitols, destroy the productive manufactories, and sink in the ocean the gallant ships of the Northern States.— Would these incendiary proceedings be re garded as nehrhborly and friendly, and consistent with the fraternal sentiments which should ever be cherished by one por tion of the Union Inward nether! Would they excite no emotion? ion no mani festations of dissatisfaction, nor lend to any acts of retaliatory violence? But the sup posed case falls far short of the actual one in a most essential circumstance. In no contingency could these 'capitols, manufac tories and ships rise in rebellion and mas sacre the inhabitants of the Northern States. Poston of Rx-Gov. Wise. Ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, having been written to by a gentleman of Colum bus, to define what he memos by *light ing in the Union." replies as follows: Ist. If a sovereign State is judge of the &I -' frartinn as well as the mode and measure of re- dress, she may remain in the Union to re , sent or resist wrongs u well as do so out of the Union. I 2d. If other States have infracted the Union, not she, the State wronged, is bound to defend the conAit ution and Union against those who have inflamed the one and threat ened the other. Logically, the Union be longs to those who have kept, not those who have broken its covenants. 3d. The Union is not an abstraction ; it is a real. substantial thing, embracing ma ny essential and vital political rights and properties. It has nationality, lends, treasure, organiudion of army and wary, strips, dock-yards, arsouds, etc., de., de. Shall we renounce these rights and possessions because wrong doers attempt to deprive us of other rights? Is it not cowardly to renounce one right to save another? Are these rights not as pre cious as the mere right of property in no goes ? But, 4th. If you secede, you not only renounce the Union and its prosseasions, but you fair to unite your own people. because you do renounce these rights.

In compliance with their request and my own sense of duty, I designate FRIDAY, MI 4TII DAT or JANVART, 1861, for this purpose, and reoommend that the People assemble on that day, according to their several forms of workahip, to keep it as a solemn Fast. The Union of the States is at the.present moment threatened with alarming and im mediate danger ; panic and distress' of a fearful character prevail throughout the land; our laboring population are without employment, and consequently deprived of the means of earning their bread. Indeed, hope seems to have deserted the minds of •men. All classes are in a state of 410 fusion and dismay, and the w.sest counsKi of our best and purest men are wholly disregarded. In this the hour of calamity and peril to whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers? jlis pmnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects of our own crimes and follies—our own ingrati tude and guift towards our Heavenly Father. Let us, then, with deep contrition and penitent sorrow, unite in humbling our selves before the Most II igh,in confessi lig our individual and national sin 4, and in acknow ledging the justice of our punishment.— Let us implore Him to remove from our hearts that false pride of opinion that would impel us to persevere in wrong for the sake of consistency, rather than yield a just submission to the unforseen exigencies by which we are now surrounded. Let us with reverence beseech Him to restore the friendship and good will which prevailed in former days among the people of the seve ral States ; and, above all to, save us from the horrors of civil war and "blood guilti ness." Let our fervent prayers ascend to His Throne that he would not desert us in this hour of extreme peril. but remember us as he did our fathers in the darkest days of the Revolution, and preserve our Consti tution and our Union, the work of their sands. for ages yet to come. An Omnipotent Providence may overrule existing evils for permanent good. lle can make the wrath of man to praise Him, and the remainder of wrath Ile can restrain.— Let me iiivokeevery individual, in whatever sphere of life he may be placed, to feel a personal responsibility to God and his coun try for keeping 014 day holy, and for con tributing all in his power to remove ouriiib tual and impending calamities. • A Northern Proposition to Arrest Disunion.— New York,. Dec. 16.—The Albany Atlas and Argus, New York, publishes' an article on the country's danger, and a remedy propos ing that Lincoln's Administration acquiesces in the construction of the Constitution, ILA settled by the Supreme Court, which puts Southern propertl upon an equality with Northern property in the Territories, and the following amendments to be made to the Constitution: "Congress niay establish governments for Territories, and any Territory having a population equal to the constituency of one member of Congress, and having adopted, by vote of the citizens resident therein, a Constitution of the Republiesn form, may be admitted by Congress into this Union as a State. Neither Congress nor the people of the Territory, during the Territorial con dition, shall, by legislation or otherwise, an nul or impair the rights of property as re cognized by the laws of any State," How an Honest Old Negry, °falsified a Party q(.46olitionidi.—A short time ago a widow lady living near the northern line of Mis souri sent her negro man with a load of wheat to a mill in lowa to have it manufac tured into flour. The mill was much crowd ed on his arrival there, and the prospect was that he would have to wait several days for "his turn." While waiting. some of the "free dom shriekers," in that latitude, got around the darkey and proposed aiding him in se curing his freedom. The negro seemed to be struck with the idea, but did not have any money to pay his expenses'. " Well," said they, "sell your mules," " Don't know 'bout dat missus couldn't get along widout dem," said cuff. "Well, then," rejoined they, " you can sell the wagon—that will bring the money." " Well, I believe, mix sus needs de wagon too," answered the black. " But if I had de wheat ground, I could sell de flour—dat would fetch de money." "Oh, well," said the negro equal jet, " we will swap you flour for the wheat to accornmcxhite you." 8o the trade was made. The wheat was exchanged for the proper portion of Hour, and the colored man was loaded all ready to drive off and sell his flour. But when he was about ready to start he said: " Massa, I's bin studying 'bolit freedom, but I don't believe mixes can spare de flour either." and drove off with a broad grin. two sows of Ivory, much to the mortil. .st and vexa. tion of our negro-bring Lowniane.

A Republican: who realties in a neighboring county, is aotnetbirig of a wag, and withal a firm believer in the deo trine that all is fair in polities, relates with great gusto, some of his adventures in the late campaign. " I went out," said he, "into two or three townships, settled principally by our own country Germans, who had always been Democrats. After exhausting myself on the hotter times that would come from the tariff, and failing to convince, I went in on the I pome_stead bill. This they had heard about, bet did not clearly understand, and you maybe right sure that I was ready to explain it. I told them that immediately after Lin coln's election, a bill would be passed giving every man IGO acres of hind. A few of the more ignorant and stubborn I told could get their warrants for ltiO acres if they voted for Lincoln, immediately after the election, if they called at my office. fine day after the election three of them called for their warrants—and they rather had met". " How did you get out of it'" said one. " Get out of it? Why I wriggled ont. I told them that they were all given out, and no new ones would be issued until next March. I got them all tight. and sent them borne jolly, hurrahing for Lincoln. / don't inttnd W run !or any oAe inyself 1" What an immense amount of duplicity similar to the above must have been used to carry the election.—Harrisburg Patriot. A Wide Awake Getting His Dividend. Yesterday a Wide Awake went into the 'office of one of our brokers and wanted some western money exchanged. It unfor tunately happened to be bills of some of the refused Illinois Banks, and the broker told him he would take it at 30 per cent. discount. This demand appeared-very ex. horbitant, and he demurred in rather strong language. The broker then asked him if he wasn't one of the fellows he had seen ( around only a few nights ago, with a black ! cape and torch. The Wide Awake said he, was, and wanted to know what that had to do with his money. Oh, nothing, replied , the broker, only you are getting your dirt ' dend on your investment in Lincoln. The man left the office swearing that he would go home and break his torch over - the first Republican's head that ever asked him to turn out again. If this was the first fivits of a change, he would like to know what the end was going to be? He, like thous. ands of others, began to see his error.— ' Rtfalo .Republie. frir There was an oldvarmer who hide hen that, not contented with her 'proper "here of action. was continually endea,ormg to crow.
