Many columns nf the finest marble are oUo still standing, but no traces are left of llie uditices llu y aiipnurted, and lliey are uitslly in the midst of toburi-o jiaiches or overgrown with ivy or wild vine. The vitlnga and its inlmhitanla are the moat wreL-hed looking ol thoso 1 have seen evt'D here. 'I'he neit night we enrnmped near .fenein, a snmlj villnge near llie source of the river Kialion. In the morning, cmasing thatnin ani, here a small rivulet, we entered on tho great plain of Jezreel called modern-ly Ksdreliill. 1'his vnt pinto extends from Kialion on the South to MonntTnbur and the hills round Nuxareth on (he North. It is nearly twenty miles long by fifteen wido and perfectly level. Beautiful an it is fertile, it looks as though it might linve been designed as the home of peace and plenty, liven iiianiinateobjects, in the culm lovt'lim'KS ol such naceue, might rebukemaii's tierce t hi rut of power and glory. But on the other hatid.it has for thousands of years been the chosen field of carnage. Its extent is said to be greater than that of any other buttle-field of the world. And from Hurak to Buonaparte, warriors have chosen it ns their theatre. Jews, (ientiles, (J round era, Assyrians, Persians, Saracens, Turku, Kgypiians, Arabs nnd Frenchmen have all on this great singe unfurled their banners, and, ns victors or fallen, tilled roles in the bloody tragedy of conquest. Nazareth is situated at the end of a pleasant valley and built partly on the plain and partly on the declivity of a hill. Its inhubitunts aro Jews, Turks and Arabs, but some of the Intter have embraced Christianity. It is at least a coincidence, that almost the only Ar:ibs in Palestine who are Christians are inhabitants of Nuzaretli or Bethlehem. There is also hero a Krnn-i iiniii convent and within it walls a church said to bo built on the spot where the Virgin received the mysterious annunciation. The country n muml Nazareth is more fertile than most parts ol Palestine, uud its situation is pleasant nnd nicturenuuo. On thrive sides, hills encircle it, and on the fourth opens a broud and verduut vulley. The In-ill and quiet beauty ol the scenery seams to be as fitting to its lmtory as the dreariness and desolation around .JeniHulcin aro appropriate to its dark annals and predicted doom. The aaaociations of the hitter are full of oppressive gloom und solemn awe. No man of natural sensibilities 1 care not whutmay be his faith, or tl he Imvo mi tm in at nil can stand on Calvary or linger in fietliHemaue and feel nothing of the painful awe that, like a heavier atmosphere hangs over these spots. Around azareth now inherent the train ol associa tions. Imagination dwell with delight on visions ot hildhood's innocence expanding through radiant youth into and here is tho tho first miracle man-hood as si ulcus, and the wondrous blending of a moth-1 er's love witli the reverent tenderness of thn woman's worship. The past thou ever throws its light orshnde into ttie present. Willi man, it is the prophet of the liiluro, with places It becomes the genius of the spot. From the New York Herald. THE NEW EUROPEAN CHARACTERS. A LETT Kit FROM AN KX-I.ONOON KIllTUK Jama Ciotdon Bennett, Eta. flir J Rtandinir here, on the free soil and neutral ground of America, the present political ami social aspect of Europe allords me not only sulijuct matter for n flection, but, orcuainnally, mue.li amusement, wneu 1 see wnat stress is lam on trilles what " straws " ore just now Hunting on the surface and what an ahuml degree ol importance is Httnrhed to men and matter, in themselves most insignificant. I renlly cannot help laughing heartily at every budget of Huropeaii news with which you favor us; for, having been " behind the curtain," and ac qtittinted, in some way or another, with several personages now playing the Anglo-French political drama, their struggles hr notoriety, whilst causing a smile, make me wonder ut the combination of circumstances which can permit nuch personages ever to appear on the a I ii if e political, in leading characters. First of nil, here's my old friend Louis Napoleon, frightening tho world from ils propriety, and threatening to plunge K ii rope into n hot war, whilst he has sue ceeded in creating the most absurd contusion in diplomatic circles. 1 remember his Wuixolic invasion ot France, via Boulogne, and ils result; but his more intimate acqtiaiuiNiico I made during his subsequent lengthened sojourn in London, whore he was generally ret'iirded as something between a fool and a madman what he has since proved himaelf to be is another matter vet whtlst holding in abhorrence the tyranny nnd despotism he is displaying, I cannot but admire the quality, which in Kugland is termed " pluck," that he has exhibited in bin famous coup d'etat, nnd in sub-sequent dealing with the French nation. 1 became acquainted with Louis Napoleon ihrouglt a enmy ol mine, the proprietor of a tavern not a hundred miles from Waterloo bridge where literary men connected with the Loudon dnily pnper loved to congregate during " the small hours " of the morning, alter the house was " up " and " the form- had uvmo to press." My friend, llie landlord was a rpeculativn character, and SKETCH OF VIENNA. Mr. Weed, the principal editor of the Albany Journal, is a good traveler and letter-writer, as well as editor. His descriptions of men and things in Europe are graphic and interesting. The following sketch of the appearance of the capital of the Austrian Empire will attract atieution: Viimna, May 1, 1852. Our route from Laybacb was through Gratz, Schott-' weiu, Glochnitz, &c., all large aud pleasant towns. The railroad is not yet oompleted over the tintnmering mountain, where diligences are statioueu 10 suppiy me broken link. Havintf crossed this mountain you de scend into a broad valley interspersed for forty miles, which bring you to Vienna, with fertile neias auu ueau- tiful groves of undergrowth pines. This vast plain resembles, except that it ii entirely level, the country between Alhany and Hctieueciady. At neusiaui we passed tn sight of Hungary, and within a few rods of its boundary line. Vienna, one of the capitals of Europe, is a beautiful city in some respects the moat beautiful I have ever seen. Its population is about equal to that of the city of New York. Ita aspects are all decidedly attractive. The streets are generally wide, well paved and remarkably clean, though you don't aee how they are kept so. Its "lungs" (as its Parks, Gardens, Prater, &c., are appropriately called,) are more extensive, accessible, and quite as beautiful as those of any city in the world. Those who live in the heart of the city can, by a walk of from five to ten minutes, reach the Glacis, a continuous park, handsomely ornamented with trees and flowers, which entirely surrounds the city. Ju this park are cafes, restaurants, grottos and arbors. Front-, nig the Glacis are two or three royal palaces and the inn union s of the nobilitv. Without the Glacis are the suburbs, which constitute, however, a large portion of the city. The Prater, or Hvde Park of Vienna, is a delightful wooded green, over a mile in width and four miles lung. It is thronged every afternoon ; hut on Sundays, ami especially on festal days, the display of carriages, including all classes, from that of the Emperor to the humblest citizen, is truly brilliant. The great day for the Prater is Master Monday. Next to that is May-day, and on this latter occasion we were there, but the weather was unfavorable, aud the turn-out was uot all that was expected. Upon the Prater are amusements suited to all classes. There is a circus, museum, music, magicians, ballrooms, ftre-wurks, Slc, &c. Soldiers are stationed here, as indeed they are every where in Vienna, to preserve order. In this respect Vienna is a model city. it la impossible to nnd 4UU,uui people moving so active- Jy nnd yet so tranquilly. The prosonce of a mighty military torce nas something to uo wuu an mis, oi course, raris glistened with bayonets lined lately alter the coup (I Hat, but that city was less thoroughly mili tary in all its aspects than this, where almost every second man you meet is in military costume. Vleuua is literally thronged with Austrian otlicers, whose snow white uniforms are very rich. Indeed, I have never seen a more graceful robe than the white broadcloth cloak of the Austrian officers. Just now, when the Kmooror of Russia is expected, many regiments are marching into the capital, in that Vieuua is more than usually martial lit all its appearance. THE HOLT LAND. The Cleveland True Democrat has a correspondent who is traveling through the Fiaat, nnd who writes very fuir letters to that pBper. I'he following, being part of one written from Nazareth, is of general interest, and will well repay perusal : Leaving Jerusalem by the north or Itsmnarus gale, about a mile on llie way we passed Ihe " Tombs nf llie Judges." They are largo raves hollowed nut ol the rock, and bem evident marks of the highest antiquity Jewish history and tradition designate the in ae llie tombs of the Judge of Israel, and the locality corresponds with the most, authentic no onnta of the carl) Christian fathers. Three hours north of this place, (for in this country traveling being about uniform and uudormly alow distance is always reckoned by time, nil hour being about :ij miles,) we came to the ruins of Kaiimh, the birth-place anil tomb ot tiamuel the prophet. The Arab village that occupies llm site of the former city, crowns the heights of Pjehe Namyol and is called itself by the Arabs " Namyol." Amid ils desolate lone liness it seemed us though it might have just been ravaged by Asia's plunderers. Two hours still further north, passing over a succession of rocky and barren bills, we came to Lux or Bethel. Here, too, as on the sites of moat of the an cient cities of Palestine, is a miserable Arab village. But an Arab village has nothing in its appearance to relieve the general aspect of desolation. It rather adds to it. A run ud it are uoiie of the aigus of cheerful and plentiful homes that in our country belong to the name of village. It generally consists of a heap of low atone hovels, with Hat or low domed mud nnd so that at a short distance it cannot be distinuiahed from the rocky ground around. W here the ruins of a city still remain aud are occupied by the Arabs, ns is often l he rase, in oue nurt of the town, tho inlmhitanla thus construct themselves shelters amid the remains of broken arches aud fallen columns, while another part is used as a bu rying ground und the rest is leli entirely deserted. 1 litis nothing call exceed the desolate asiet t of an Arab vil-laire. Some few are dilferent, but this is tin appear ance of most. The only garden like cultivation thai is ever seen about them is a small patch ui tobacco. Often nnt a tree or shrub near. On a small green spot near this village we encamp ed for the night. The greater part of ihe inhabitant soon gathered around our lent, several men claiming to be the Skeikh of the village and demanding remuneration for the protection their village alturded ns. Of coune, our only dnnger was from them, tor, nlihough ttie Arabs seldom have the courage to rob, they are always ready to steal. Tho spot on which we encamped was surrounded on all sides by remains of massive masonry, which seemed to be the relics of a vast reservoir. Besides this, there is now uo trace of Bethel of old. Another dav's iournev over a country mostly rocky aud barren, or scarcely relieved by the wildueas nnd waste of Arab cultivation, brought list to Nablous. This is the Uhechem of the old Testament ami the Kyi bar ol Ihe new. It ia a walled city, and, di tie rent from most other Syrian low us, it is to surrounded by olive orchards and trees of every description, that it seems like a city in grove. Tho valley in which it is situated is one of the few well watered places iu Pales-line, and the luxurious venture of wood anil plain contracts beautifully with the general dreary waate. It atloits lo the present day Ihe wiidoin of Jacob's choice. About mile south of the city, at the foot of Mount Gemim, is Jacob's well, and on the plains, not far dis tant, a sHit it marked which is pointed out as the grave ol Joseph. On eiiln r siile of the city lo llm Noitli aud Sniilli rise Mount F.lml and Mount leriim the inoiiutniiis of cursing nnd of blessing. On the (alter are tho ruins of Ihe temnle built by the Hamariinne, when they were refused participation in the privileges of the tem ple at Jerusalem by the Jews returned from captivity. Minified with the ruins of ibis temple are those ol ihe rolonade of Herod and of the church of Johu the Bap tist, fjamantau, PagaU and Christian ed dices, nit aud each Ilia pride of thoir day, now mouldering in common destruction. In Nablous there is still a remnant of pure Samari tans living apart from both Jews and Gentiles, and, as of old holding no intercourse with them. Of ihe Old Scriptures they acknowledge only the Pentateuch, and it is, at least, uu interesting fact that haling llie Jews as they do and having had no intercourse with them from the remotest time, they have ImiiIi precisely the same version of the Mosaio Scriptures. Five miles uorlh-weit of Sheehwm, is Samaria. The richness of the vain in which it is situated, by far the fairest 1 have seen in Palestine, betokens what must once have Iteen the heautiliil surroundings ol theme. tropnlisof Israel, when a "fenoetl city," it was "the bead of tile fat valley." The valley is now covered with olive groves and carpeted with tangled luxuriance, and jeweled with (be brightest of iropic flowers; hut for the fallen city, it has become truly " ns a heap f the Beld and as plantings of the vineyard." " Her Inhabitants and their posterity are taken away," nnd Arab Fellahs dwell lo huts among the pillars of Her-oa i house tod over the mini ol Abab a ivory palace.

Kmiteror of France alter exhausting bill discounters, who were already "full" of his waste paper, had applied to the " hnntiace " to do a Utile bill for three hundred pounds sterling, nt fifty per cent. I was consulted on ihe point, nnd although I fancied the security somewhat chimerical, mylriend" bonuuee was resolved on having Louis Napoleon's autograph in his cash box, nnd I can only ndd that when 1 left London, in Oecember hist, the security slill remained in llie landlord s possesion n dishonored acceptance.

Is St. Paul belter authority than all theso; nnd it so, why f But does he really contradict any of them? Paul, iu writing to the churches at Corinth and Bphesus, says " Let four women keep silence in llie churches." "it they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home." We have but little means ol knowing what was the condiiion of the women at Corinth and Ephesus There is littlo doubt, howevur, but that Paul's caution or ad vice was salutary then. Hut, because St. Paul thought the safest plan for them was lo let their hiiahands teach them the road to Heaven, is that any reason why women, through all time and iu every plaee, should depend on the same uncertain direction, while the whole tenor of ihe doctrines of Christianity teaches us that the salvation of encli individual is a matter between themselves and their God 1 Supposing your readers might leap as nimbly to a conclusion as you hnve, I send you a few thoughts, without any idea of responding lo your call upon Mrs. Gage, 1 know the can do justice to the subject, anil hope she will feel "just right" someday, hut fear she will not have time or inclination soon.

The other boys, envious of Kate's select uiy me as hHr hampion, seemed determined to ridicule ns to iba extent of their imwer; aud when Kate and I were ou our way to school, our nonearanre on llm nbiv.amoiul wax the signal for n perlect broadside of raillery. i nn-- rime ami ner oenu, says one.

As 1 nenred ihe house, 1 saw Kate reclining ou a small lounge lhat had been removed from the sitting room into the opeu verandah.

She looked at the ring but for a moment, and then with a ipiick motion pressed it to her lips Amo, amat, ana- mut : i could near it no longer. In an instant I had encircled her littlo waist with my ami, and glued my lips to the sweet creature's mouth. Ye god a and little tihos! what a scream she gave !

"Our Klag," Ate. .foreign Department. the stones thereof into the valley" is moat literally fulfilled, and ill several places at the toot of I he hill columns, arches, and frei.ea have rolled down and lie in heaps together. Many columns nf the finest marble are oUo still standing, but no traces are left of llie uditices llu y aiipnurted, and lliey are uitslly in the midst of toburi-o jiaiches or overgrown with ivy or wild vine. The vitlnga and its inlmhitanla are the moat wreL-hed looking ol thoso 1 have seen evt'D here. 'I'he neit night we enrnmped near .fenein, a snmlj villnge near llie source of the river Kialion. In the morning, cmasing thatnin ani, here a small rivulet, we entered on tho great plain of Jezreel called modern-ly Ksdreliill. 1'his vnt pinto extends from Kialion on the South to MonntTnbur and the hills round Nuxareth on (he North. It is nearly twenty miles long by fifteen wido and perfectly level. Beautiful an it is fertile, it looks as though it might linve been designed as the home of peace and plenty, liven iiianiinateobjects, in the culm lovt'lim'KS ol such naceue, might rebukemaii's tierce t hi rut of power and glory. But on the other hatid.it has for thousands of years been the chosen field of carnage. Its extent is said to be greater than that of any other buttle-field of the world. And from Hurak to Buonaparte, warriors have chosen it ns their theatre. Jews, (ientiles, (J round era, Assyrians, Persians, Saracens, Turku, Kgypiians, Arabs nnd Frenchmen have all on this great singe unfurled their banners, and, ns victors or fallen, tilled roles in the bloody tragedy of conquest. Nazareth is situated at the end of a pleasant valley and built partly on the plain and partly on the declivity of a hill. Its inhubitunts aro Jews, Turks and Arabs, but some of the Intter have embraced Christianity. It is at least a coincidence, that almost the only Ar:ibs in Palestine who are Christians are inhabitants of Nuzaretli or Bethlehem. There is also hero a Krnn-i iiniii convent and within it walls a church said to bo built on the spot where the Virgin received the mysterious annunciation. The country n muml Nazareth is more fertile than most parts ol Palestine, uud its situation is pleasant nnd nicturenuuo. On thrive sides, hills encircle it, and on the fourth opens a broud and verduut vulley. The In-ill and quiet beauty ol the scenery seams to be as fitting to its lmtory as the dreariness and desolation around .JeniHulcin aro appropriate to its dark annals and predicted doom. The aaaociations of the hitter are full of oppressive gloom und solemn awe. No man of natural sensibilities 1 care not whutmay be his faith, or tl he Imvo mi tm in at nil can stand on Calvary or linger in fietliHemaue and feel nothing of the painful awe that, like a heavier atmosphere hangs over these spots. Around azareth now inherent the train ol associa tions. Imagination dwell with delight on visions ot hildhood's innocence expanding through radiant youth into and here is tho tho first miracle man-hood as si ulcus, and the wondrous blending of a moth-1 er's love witli the reverent tenderness of thn woman's worship. The past thou ever throws its light orshnde into ttie present. Willi man, it is the prophet of the liiluro, with places It becomes the genius of the spot. From the New York Herald. THE NEW EUROPEAN CHARACTERS. A LETT Kit FROM AN KX-I.ONOON KIllTUK Jama Ciotdon Bennett, Eta. flir J Rtandinir here, on the free soil and neutral ground of America, the present political ami social aspect of Europe allords me not only sulijuct matter for n flection, but, orcuainnally, mue.li amusement, wneu 1 see wnat stress is lam on trilles what " straws " ore just now Hunting on the surface and what an ahuml degree ol importance is Httnrhed to men and matter, in themselves most insignificant. I renlly cannot help laughing heartily at every budget of Huropeaii news with which you favor us; for, having been " behind the curtain," and ac qtittinted, in some way or another, with several personages now playing the Anglo-French political drama, their struggles hr notoriety, whilst causing a smile, make me wonder ut the combination of circumstances which can permit nuch personages ever to appear on the a I ii if e political, in leading characters. First of nil, here's my old friend Louis Napoleon, frightening tho world from ils propriety, and threatening to plunge K ii rope into n hot war, whilst he has sue ceeded in creating the most absurd contusion in diplomatic circles. 1 remember his Wuixolic invasion ot France, via Boulogne, and ils result; but his more intimate acqtiaiuiNiico I made during his subsequent lengthened sojourn in London, whore he was generally ret'iirded as something between a fool and a madman what he has since proved himaelf to be is another matter vet whtlst holding in abhorrence the tyranny nnd despotism he is displaying, I cannot but admire the quality, which in Kugland is termed " pluck," that he has exhibited in bin famous coup d'etat, nnd in sub-sequent dealing with the French nation. 1 became acquainted with Louis Napoleon ihrouglt a enmy ol mine, the proprietor of a tavern not a hundred miles from Waterloo bridge where literary men connected with the Loudon dnily pnper loved to congregate during " the small hours " of the morning, alter the house was " up " and " the form- had uvmo to press." My friend, llie landlord was a rpeculativn character, and SKETCH OF VIENNA. Mr. Weed, the principal editor of the Albany Journal, is a good traveler and letter-writer, as well as editor. His descriptions of men and things in Europe are graphic and interesting. The following sketch of the appearance of the capital of the Austrian Empire will attract atieution: Viimna, May 1, 1852. Our route from Laybacb was through Gratz, Schott-' weiu, Glochnitz, &c., all large aud pleasant towns. The railroad is not yet oompleted over the tintnmering mountain, where diligences are statioueu 10 suppiy me broken link. Havintf crossed this mountain you de scend into a broad valley interspersed for forty miles, which bring you to Vienna, with fertile neias auu ueau- tiful groves of undergrowth pines. This vast plain resembles, except that it ii entirely level, the country between Alhany and Hctieueciady. At neusiaui we passed tn sight of Hungary, and within a few rods of its boundary line. Vienna, one of the capitals of Europe, is a beautiful city in some respects the moat beautiful I have ever seen. Its population is about equal to that of the city of New York. Ita aspects are all decidedly attractive. The streets are generally wide, well paved and remarkably clean, though you don't aee how they are kept so. Its "lungs" (as its Parks, Gardens, Prater, &c., are appropriately called,) are more extensive, accessible, and quite as beautiful as those of any city in the world. Those who live in the heart of the city can, by a walk of from five to ten minutes, reach the Glacis, a continuous park, handsomely ornamented with trees and flowers, which entirely surrounds the city. Ju this park are cafes, restaurants, grottos and arbors. Front-, nig the Glacis are two or three royal palaces and the inn union s of the nobilitv. Without the Glacis are the suburbs, which constitute, however, a large portion of the city. The Prater, or Hvde Park of Vienna, is a delightful wooded green, over a mile in width and four miles lung. It is thronged every afternoon ; hut on Sundays, ami especially on festal days, the display of carriages, including all classes, from that of the Emperor to the humblest citizen, is truly brilliant. The great day for the Prater is Master Monday. Next to that is May-day, and on this latter occasion we were there, but the weather was unfavorable, aud the turn-out was uot all that was expected. Upon the Prater are amusements suited to all classes. There is a circus, museum, music, magicians, ballrooms, ftre-wurks, Slc, &c. Soldiers are stationed here, as indeed they are every where in Vienna, to preserve order. In this respect Vienna is a model city. it la impossible to nnd 4UU,uui people moving so active- Jy nnd yet so tranquilly. The prosonce of a mighty military torce nas something to uo wuu an mis, oi course, raris glistened with bayonets lined lately alter the coup (I Hat, but that city was less thoroughly mili tary in all its aspects than this, where almost every second man you meet is in military costume. Vleuua is literally thronged with Austrian otlicers, whose snow white uniforms are very rich. Indeed, I have never seen a more graceful robe than the white broadcloth cloak of the Austrian officers. Just now, when the Kmooror of Russia is expected, many regiments are marching into the capital, in that Vieuua is more than usually martial lit all its appearance. THE HOLT LAND. The Cleveland True Democrat has a correspondent who is traveling through the Fiaat, nnd who writes very fuir letters to that pBper. I'he following, being part of one written from Nazareth, is of general interest, and will well repay perusal : Leaving Jerusalem by the north or Itsmnarus gale, about a mile on llie way we passed Ihe " Tombs nf llie Judges." They are largo raves hollowed nut ol the rock, and bem evident marks of the highest antiquity Jewish history and tradition designate the in ae llie tombs of the Judge of Israel, and the locality corresponds with the most, authentic no onnta of the carl) Christian fathers. Three hours north of this place, (for in this country traveling being about uniform and uudormly alow distance is always reckoned by time, nil hour being about :ij miles,) we came to the ruins of Kaiimh, the birth-place anil tomb ot tiamuel the prophet. The Arab village that occupies llm site of the former city, crowns the heights of Pjehe Namyol and is called itself by the Arabs " Namyol." Amid ils desolate lone liness it seemed us though it might have just been ravaged by Asia's plunderers. Two hours still further north, passing over a succession of rocky and barren bills, we came to Lux or Bethel. Here, too, as on the sites of moat of the an cient cities of Palestine, is a miserable Arab village. But an Arab village has nothing in its appearance to relieve the general aspect of desolation. It rather adds to it. A run ud it are uoiie of the aigus of cheerful and plentiful homes that in our country belong to the name of village. It generally consists of a heap of low atone hovels, with Hat or low domed mud nnd so that at a short distance it cannot be distinuiahed from the rocky ground around. W here the ruins of a city still remain aud are occupied by the Arabs, ns is often l he rase, in oue nurt of the town, tho inlmhitanla thus construct themselves shelters amid the remains of broken arches aud fallen columns, while another part is used as a bu rying ground und the rest is leli entirely deserted. 1 litis nothing call exceed the desolate asiet t of an Arab vil-laire. Some few are dilferent, but this is tin appear ance of most. The only garden like cultivation thai is ever seen about them is a small patch ui tobacco. Often nnt a tree or shrub near. On a small green spot near this village we encamp ed for the night. The greater part of ihe inhabitant soon gathered around our lent, several men claiming to be the Skeikh of the village and demanding remuneration for the protection their village alturded ns. Of coune, our only dnnger was from them, tor, nlihough ttie Arabs seldom have the courage to rob, they are always ready to steal. Tho spot on which we encamped was surrounded on all sides by remains of massive masonry, which seemed to be the relics of a vast reservoir. Besides this, there is now uo trace of Bethel of old. Another dav's iournev over a country mostly rocky aud barren, or scarcely relieved by the wildueas nnd waste of Arab cultivation, brought list to Nablous.

The only question to be solved is: Is that claim just aud proper T should it be granted 1 You say, " the only personal objection you ever had to Women's Rights reform, is that reform implies change" a forcible objection indeed.

Do you believe "women should keen silence iu the churches," and that they ought to learn every thing by "asking their bus hands at home 1 it you do believe it. why? because it is proper and right, or because St. Paul says so?

Is St. Paul belter authority than all theso; nnd it so, why f But does he really contradict any of them?

We have but little means ol knowing what was the condiiion of the women at Corinth and Ephesus There is littlo doubt, howevur, but that Paul's caution or ad vice was salutary then. Hut, because St. Paul thought the safest plan for them was lo let their hiiahands teach them the road to Heaven, is that any reason why women, through all time and iu every plaee, should depend on the same uncertain direction, while the whole tenor of ihe doctrines of Christianity teaches us that the salvation of encli individual is a matter between themselves and their God 1 Supposing your readers might leap as nimbly to a conclusion as you hnve, I send you a few thoughts, without any idea of responding lo your call upon Mrs. Gage, 1 know the can do justice to the subject, anil hope she will feel "just right" someday, hut fear she will not have time or inclination soon.

In lfllt), we had 1 1! ,010 people ; in 18 IU, we had 17,0011 ; aud iu 1852, we must number at least '.'4,000. Strangers are coming lu among ns aud purchasing the out-lots nn Ruclid and Kinsman streets and Wilson Avenue. Lands three aud a half and four miles out on Euclid street are selling at .r0U and (o'OO per acree. Two years ago $100 per acre would have been thought a fair price. Our Railroads aro netting up Cleveland ; nnd if lots nnd rents do not get up too high, in ItlflO, wo shall number al least .10,000, Our cily is picking up many of the rich and able men ot the Reserve, and of Ihe State, Among Uioso who have recently come here, are, professional men, James Mason, Hiram Griswold, It.

David Tod has made purchase here, ami is about making another very con' siderable investment in Ibis city, ao great is his confi dence iu Ihe future of Cleveland. In a few years, Co), Tod Intends lo make Cleveland his home. He will h warmly welcomed here, as he in the very prince ofgood fellows cane lull of fun and wit one of the most jo vial companions, aud Ihe finest looking Democrat in tho State. Nature gave him rare gifts ot mind ; and if he had been as thorough and laborious a student as John 0. Spencer, ho would have made his murk high up on the temple uf bin country's history.

Their candidate for President Is anew mailt his name was not lauuliar hi ttie people of his nartv out of his own State, while there it is as familiar to them as that of Reuben Wood or William Allen lo the Democrats of Ohio. L'ol. King has long been in puhli life, and is a fin old bachelor, and is perfectly at home in the big chair in the senate u Dumber. Who ia Gen.

There still-weeping dreams ioiii meir viewless wiril, aud the spirits ot the evecing breexe recline on shelving emeralds. My fellow citizens, iu that coral cuve lies the great Sea-Serpent. There was he wont to retire after his arduous peregrinations over iho deep, to listen to tbe daughters of the sen weaving their toll harmonies; to muse on the mutability of greatness ; and to gaze wilh philosophic eye into the viaia of the future as ils phantom forms flitted to and fro and vanished in ihe waving mints. There ho now lies. But not for him do the daughters of the sea touch their trembling lyres; not for him do the zetdivrs rioidu the blue wider ..r thn dolphin display his chamelion tints. No! oh uo! He ties there in anguish. Kits hn is dislornted ! 'Delirium glimmers in that tiliilosoohic eve : ' hunger ruses in his breast; ami tho invidious sharks prowl around his cavern like jackals around (he den of Ihe dying lion ! And will vou, fellow-citizens, normit ihnt simke to He in his lonely cave furnished and delirious T Will you permit the ubiquitous, the iucomparnble, the stupendous, the omnivorous American Sea-Serpent to be come decrepit and a cripple for life, ns he undoubtedly will become unless his case is promptly attended lo f What will your ancestors think of yon if you permit ihe twin-brother of the American Eb1b to become a public charge? What will posterity think of you when they come into possession of (he Republic nud hod a sick snake on their bands; a sick auake and a debt of forty millions! Lastly, what willyou think of yourselves when you retlect ou your ungrateful neglect; on the loss of national respectability which must ensue wneu you appear in pulihc without a bea-aer- tout; on the depression ol public credit, and ou all tbe diwtsti-rs which 1 foresee lo be attendant uu the loss f the great basiliak. No, we can t get along without our Sea Serpent. If we lose him, we might as well sell our continent at once and move out west ' If the public dragon gives out, you might juat as well make the national will, ap- poiiu joint uuii sole executor and guardian ot our iu-luni States, and then expire in the full assurance that your executor will grub ell your properly, and choke your infants outright, and give your legacies to his own bra's. But the light of hone kindles in mv breast. I know that Ihe calamities of the Sea-Serpent will nrouso the warmest sympathies of this natiou. It will never permit ita great snnke to die in that far-off ravern from unger aud wantot surgical attendance. I feel happy, feel proud iu the assurance lhat the Henublic will, ou this occasion, testify its gratitude and reanect in a man ner worthy ol itself. Then the mighty basilisk, once more restored to health and strength, will again launch forth ils glittering convolutions on the billows of Ihe ocean, to rove from gulf lo gulf, from pole to pole, re- iiocung mo o in 7,o oi tue sun irom bis many colored scales; and despots, stundiugon the grisly battlements of the old world, will look dowu upon the deep as the f;ir-uL rrpnoiii Hn pioogns nis toauiiiig pathway through the waters, and their knees will tremble and their cheeks blanch as they whisper, 1 Lu! Ihe drendltil Ser- peoi oi me oca : - A STOLEN KISS. My dear Ned, did Vou ever steal a kit from n Iiphii. titul girl, in some oiigtiarded moment, when she was totally oticotiscintia ol Ihe close pros imily of your lips lo her own, until thu treasure was j illr-ed aud putaed redemption T it so, then listen to me, and I will wive vou en hr- count of a bit of fun in that line, wlo u I was at tbe mature nge ot fourteen. Al the dmirici school where I attended, Ihere was a llltle blonde, a clnssriiiite nt mine, whose roguish eye and dimpled cheek played the mischief with my studies. nvery day, niter school was dlHinlssed, 1 gallanted Kate B to her home: and when there um aonur on the ground, I always insisted on her inking a seat on n.y sled, while I, proud of inv load of loveliness, would draw her up the steep hill lo her home. The other boys, envious of Kate's select uiy me as hHr hampion, seemed determined to ridicule ns to iba extent of their imwer; aud when Kate and I were ou our way to school, our nonearanre on llm nbiv.amoiul wax the signal for n perlect broadside of raillery. i nn-- rime ami ner oenu, says one. " Halloo, Jack ! why don't you lock arms with vonr wer.bt-ftvt1 " " Oh, they ai n't engnged yet," answered another. And poor Kate would run bliiahinir into the aeh,H1. room, and 1 would propose some play to turn the con. versiition. The intimacy between us etew at ion ner dav bv dev. uuiil 1 nsed to call ut her house for nothing else but lo bear her sweet laugh and talk, uulil it was lime forme to leave. One line summer evening, I thought I would walk up tn Kate's nnd find out what she thought of a small ring that 1 had sent to her the day before by an urchin that I had hired, as 1 had nnt the courage to give it to her myat-lf. As 1 nenred ihe house, 1 saw Kate reclining ou a small lounge lhat had been removed from the sitting room into the opeu verandah. Her father was rending the paper and smoking a large pipe, with his feet placed on an old cheat, that stood in the corner of the kitchen, and her mother sat iu the rocking chair wuu ner miming worn in Hand, while, locomplele the group, a moiisiioiis mastift dog Jay under the table, asleep. I crept softly up to the lounge where she waa. without iteitig i uncovered. Bhe was gazing through ihe latiice work at the moon, and humming a favorite Nong ot mum. lleaveoel bow beautiful she looked! I it Kiss her ii have lo swing for it ! " said 1 to myself, while the IiIinmI rushed through my veins like u red hot lava, and my breath grew quick and hurried. I pressed nearer to her and sIihhI near enough lo catch Ihe covered cup of nectar; but my courage failed me. aud I should have given it up as a bud job, if ihe little witch had not at in hi moment held up to the origin nionimgiii an exqunue utile hand, with the very ring I had sent her un Ihe third finger. She looked at the ring but for a moment, and then with a ipiick motion pressed it to her lips Amo, amat, ana- mut : i could near it no longer. In an instant I had encircled her littlo waist with my ami, and glued my lips to the sweet creature's mouth. Ye god a and little tihos! what a scream she gave ! She slipped from my embrace like nn eel, and sprang tor ihe open door. I caught her by the vaisi agaiu. " Kate, Kate, I dont you know" " Woo! Yow ! "and down I went, tint on mv back. with old Towser's dental arrangements fMiuYmd in mv nhoulder. Get out, Towser! Father, father, hetnl he 'h kill him!" cried Kate, who had recognized my voice; and the jKkir girl was in nn agony of tears. Out rushed Sqniro B., and loosened me from the grip of the dog. Kale's mother made me take off my coal, ui. ana iingm eco ins extent oi my wounds, 1 bey were not dangerous, and alter applying some ointment, the pain left me, and I look a chair by ihe side ol Mrs. II . " Why, what in the world made you scream so, Kate I" said her father. wns no stopping them; and even the otlicers them. selves were homo along with ihe frightened mass.
