Mr. Proctor, the enterprising proprietor ofthe cave, sent to Nashville and procured a loug rope of great strength, expressly for the purpose. The rope and some necessary timbers were borne by the guides and others to the proposed point of exploration. The arrangements being soon completed, the rope, with a heavy fragment of rock af fixed to it, was let down and swung to and I think I could convince every impartial man that the horse of popular Sovereignty was a dead horse blown to atoms by.

I lived on crackers, they were cheap.

I put them on the table, took up Carly le 'LUrioe and Iltro-worsliipcrs and commenced to ead and ta'. At page 149 Lailyle speaking bf the 'Hero as Man Lei to of Samuel Johnson.

It almost choked me to think that my poverty should shut me out from all those happy (acts and merry hearts. I think I must have looked 89 "ugly" as I felt; for I saw a most startled and surprised expression on the face of a fair young girl, whose eye I caught as I went scowling and grum bling along.

In old times it used to be the way tha! the members ofthe lower classes in Co1-lege, especially the Freshmen, should pay great deference to their fellow students of more advanced standing, as well as the officers. Something l'ke the English system of fagging existed. That, however long ago parsed away, and fora time there was only the natural respect in most cases very considerable, and decided ly salutary which a fresh boy feels for one who has spent two or three years or more at college.

Lately, however," a different spirit has invaded several Colle ges, resulting in abuses ot the most shamefully outrageous kind. That practical jokes should occasionally be played off upon a raw or conceited leoruit, by boys at College, is be expected, whatever may be thought ofthe astes o'sueii a3 indulge in them. But when it comes to an invasion ofthe rights ol ilo nicil and to personal violence, to acts which no one feels him -elf safe in attempting except in diguise tha case is different. Every one feels that sell-defence, without limit, is the right of the outraged party in such cases, and that il blood is shed, the guilt of it is upon the aggressors. This year, serious difficulties of this natnre at Providence and Amherst, are repotted iu the newspapers.

Tha hazing of Freshmen by Sophomores, has been carried to such an extent at Brown University, it is said, that parents and friends have been constrained to send in strong remonstrances to the Faculty. Teacners ive also complained and have hesitated to recommend their pupils to enter the College on this account. Matters came to such a pass, that the President felt it his duty to exact a prom ise from the present Sophomore clas, that such outrages should not be repeated. Twenty-five of the gentlemanly youni- men refused, and were consequently and rightly sent home. They carried no publio sympathy with them; they met wuh none among tne.r irieiias; ana in fact found the atmosphere so chilly to wards them, that they soon cooled on, and returned, submitting themselves to wholesome discipline.

This decided course is honorable to the ruling powers at Providence, and it is to be hoped tnat otner colleges win ioi.ow the excellent example. Forgetting the Day. The North ampton Courier says that on Sunday morning one of the most regular church- going men, and a member of the church in Southampton, rose early, at his breaK fast, took his corn-knife, and went to hit corn-field and commenced cutting away Alter working vigorously for two hours, he was informed by a neighbor that it was the Sabbath day. He would not believe it at first, declaring that it was Saturday, but was soon convinced, when he dropped his knife, went home, got ready for church and when meeting commenced was in his seat. Mr.

Newman is a famous New "England singing-master i. a teacher of vocal music in the rural Stopping overnight at the house of a simple-minded old lady, whose grandson and pet, Enooh, was a pupil of Mr. Newman, he was asked by the lady how Enoch was getting on. He gave a rather poor account ot the boy, and asked his. grandmother if she reallyjthought JinocU had any ear tor music.

"Wa'al," said the old woman, "I really don't know; won't you just take the can dle and look and see a Ashmun has already alluded, may be the means of diffusing some useful ideas in this respect through the community. VV hether there is yet some unexplained means of influence in tha possession ol this gentleman not shaied by the rest of the community, I know not but one thing, I think sir, is certain, that one great portion consists in gaining and keeping the affections of the animal by gentle and kind treatment. For this, if for no other reason, he deserves the greatest credit for what he has dime in this re spect, although I believe he is not the first who hus succeeded by this same treat ment in subduing the wildness, changing even the native instincts of what are commonly called the almost untamable animals. I often saw in the streets of Lon don and I believe the same thing may be seen at Barnum's Mu.emn in. New York what is called "The Happy.

Family" a collection of anmials, in a large wire cage, most hostile in their nature cats and rats, hawks and mice, owls and wrens, living together in these dose quar lers, in the utmost amity and friendship. asked the showman what was the secret of the operation by which he brought these ast wishing results, lie told me it was persevering kindness. He did not say, sir, in what particular way that kindness was to be manifested. I believe part of it consisted in always keep ing them supplied with plenty 'f the food they were rond of, but it was preserving kindness. My experience led me to think that the amicable relations thus established among the animals did not extend to outsiders for I rather inadver tently put my finger through the bars of the cage, when a iarize rat snran! at it with such rapidity that I drew it back a great deal quicker than I put it in.

(L-iUghter and applaur-e I assure you that my bosom was overflowing with ki towards at happy family," not excepting the rat but afier that de-monstratien o- the part ofthe rat, 1 did not think it expedient to persevere. Laughter. However this may be sir, if there is any one who doub-s that the horse the animal that most concerns us on this occasion, is susceptible of the kindest feel ings of our nature, I think he would be convinced of his error by a most inter esting anecdote of Burke. In the decline of Mr. Burke's life, when he was living in retirement on his farm at Beaconsfteld, the rumor went up to Lou don that he had gone mad and the feet was stated in support of this rumor was that he went round his park kissing his co.a and horses.

A fi iend, a man ol rann and ii fluence, bearing this story, ai.d deeming it of too much importance to be left uncorrected, hastened to lieacot.sfk Id, and sought an interxiew with the view of ascertaining the truth of the rumor. En-, teritig into conversation with him, Mr. Burke read to him some chapters from ois "Letters on Regicide." His immediately saw, that though tiie farthly tenement was verging back to its native dust, ihe flame of reasoti and genius shone with undiminished lustre, lid was accordingly more than satisfiud as to ttie object of his coming down, and in a private interview with Mrs. Buike, told her hat be had come for, and received from her this pathetic explanation. Mr.

Burke's only child, beloved son, had not long before died leaving behind him a favorite ho: se, the companion of his excursions of business and pleasure, when both were young ar.d vigorous. This favorite animal was of course turned out by Mr. Buike, the fathei, into the park, with directions to all his servants that he sho'o in every respect be treated as a privil eged favorite. Mr. Buike hunseif, ol course in his morning walks, would often stop to caress the favorite animal.

On oi. occasion, as he was taking his morning walk through the park, he perceived the poor old animal at a distance, and noticed that he was recognized by him. The horse drew nearer and nearer to Mr. Burke', stopped, eed him with the most pleading look of recognition, which said. as plainly as words could have said; "1 have lost him too and then the poor dumb beast libera'elv laid his head up on Mr.

Durke Dosoni! Struck by the singularityoftheoccuriei.ee, struek by the recnllet tion of his son, whom he had never ceased to mourn with a srriet that would not be comforted, overwhelmed by the tenderness of the animal, expressed in the mute eloquence of holy Nature's universal language, the illustrious slates man for a moment Inst- his self-posses-. S'on, and, clasping his arms around the i.e of his son favorite animal, lifted up that voice, which had caused the arches of Westminster Hall to echo to the noblest si rains, and we, .1 aloud! this was seen, this was heard by the passers-by, and the enemies of Burke, unap-peased by his advancing years, his failing htlth, by his domestio sorrows, made it the ground of a charge of insanity. Burke is gone but, sir, so help me heaven, if I were called upon to designate the event or the period in Burke's life that would best sustain a charge of insanity, it would not be when, a gush of the holiest and purest feelings that ever stored the human heart, he wept aloud on the neck of a dead son's favorite horse. Tom Corwin on Senator Pugh and Sham Democracy. At a late political gathering in Cincinnati, Tom Corwin treated Senator Bi.gh's doctrines lately uttered in the same place in the following humorous at pointed manner "Let me oonsider the genealogy ol parties: My good friend.

Senator Pugh, says that an old Rip Van Winkle, of the name of Tom Corwin, has just waked up after an eight years' sleep, and is trotting out some nags. Laughter. One of them is popular Sovereignty, a nag of mettle and ot blood the other is that old, wind-broken, spavined horse, the Wilmot Pro viso. JNow there is some truth in what he says. I admire that horse of Popnlar Sovereignty and I think that if I should hold a conference meeting class meeting with brother Pugh, I should point out the bnllets the Democratic party lias put in that horse.

I think 1 should bting him, es the Methodist preachers sav, to a suitable 6ense of his unworthiness. Laughter and cheers. dently understood tha case. And they were fair, pleasant looking 'girls too. I was astonished as well as eniaged that they should laugh.

"A well-dressed young "woman stood at the counter eating pin, or some such confect. I did not envy her the dainty, bat that she could afford it. And I liked her: I thought that she did not laugh. 1 cast a savage look upon the two giggling girls which made them smooth their (acea suddenly, and left the shop. But I resolved that at some future time wheu 1 sheuld have more money, 1 would go thi'her and devour pie and cake until 1 could eat no more, end buy a vast qixin-of crackers, just to show them that 1 was not poor, and topivethem withal a 'blessing' for that heartless, unseasonable laugh ter of theirs.

"1 returned to my cheerless den of a room 1 sat down and gazed at the old staling stove, and ate crackers again. 1 sat very log, boiling inwardly with rage and mortiheation. said I to myself, 'what I have come to. I that have been so delicately nunureJ, have undertaken, in independence and nobility of soul, to earn an honest livelihood for myself, and this is the bitter end I am laughed at by two fools of shop girls as I spend my last cent for a meal that a beggar would scarcely relish. I wish they had been men, that I might havn insulted them fJr their laughter That is the portion of the poor in this God's world devil's world: nothing commands respect that is not well dressed, and does not eat pie.

If I had called for a piece of pie instead of crackers, I should not have been laughed In such wise I sat until late in the evening, communing with the bitterness of my spirit." have said that the foregoing although a very simple, wa3 yet a "suggestive litile Let us explain wy it is so: the writer is not only no able to buy "crackers," but the establishments of the wealthiest of those who make them including "pies an' things," of all sorts and descriptions. And tne lesson implied in all this, is that which we desire every struggling reader of ours especially to bear in mind. We do not say, "Labor omnia vincit." for this is no more uniformly true than that the race is always to the swift, or the battle to the strong, or lavor to men cf skill but a "good heart" and perseverance are winners in nine cases out often. ME. EVERETT ON THE HOUSE.

A Stable GoveraniettlBarnuiii's Happy t'atuilyM'riie liorse of Edmund Burke. At the banquet which closed the Horse Fair in on the 10th, speeches were made by George Ashman, Gov ernor Bunks, Edward Everett and other distinguished men. Alter some introductory remarks by Mr. Ashman, Mr. Everett said Mr.

President, Ladies and Gentlemen 1 believe one of the exploits of the distinguished persons to whom my friend Asbrauu has alluded, is to make the animals that are submitted to him down and go to sleep. (Applause and laugh ter.) I hope, sir, that my speaking, what ever other dltct it may have, witn not produce that. Sir, it is perplexing, it is almost painfull to consider what hiah degrees of intellectual and moral power are evinced by animals whom we profanely call brute beasts. 1 suppose it was a reflection on these noble qualities of the horse, intellectual and moral, that led the wittiest, the bitterest, and, I am sorry to sav. the filthiest of the satirists ot our language 1 mean Dean Silt in that remarkable romance of hU, the most faci-natine as well as the most, revolting of books, to represent the horse under that unpronounceable name which he gives him.

as the wiser, the more sajiacious.the noble animal, and to describe the huma1 race, under tne disgusting cna.acter oi the Yahoo, as an inferior order of beings. I don't know, s.r, but you will lather think it beneath the dignity of the occa sii to allude to such a book as "Gulliver's Travels," and yet it does contain, among many most instructive remarks, one or those passages into which tha wis dom of ages is condensed in a single seu- tence, and which is more often quoiea, at least art of it, at all agricult ural and rural shows, than perhaps any. other in the whole compass of literature, "ihe man, says Gulliver, "who can ake two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow on the spot where one only grew belure, would deseive better of mankind and render a more esseutial service to it.e country, than the whole race of politicians put together. (Laughter and applause.) When this is quoied at agncul-tui mee ings by patriotic candidates for office, this last part of the senience is generally omitted. (Renewed laughter.) The noble qualities of the horse seem indeed, to have made an impression upon the most brutalized of our specie.

I suppose it is this, if it were worth while to attempt to account for the freaks of a madman, which led the Emperor Caligula to erect a marble stable for his horse, Incitatus to provide him with an ivory manger, with housings of imperial purple, a breastplate studded with diamonds and pearls, and then' to elevate him to the dignity of consulship. This seein9, to be sure, a mere freak of madness, and yet, 1 am inclined to think that at that time it was a better choice than could have been made out of the venal courtiers and fao tious piajuirians ot tne imperial court and 1 believe, sir, had it been put to the vote throughout the Roman empire, then co-extensive with the civilized world, they would have decided that they had a bet ler consul in the horse than in the Emperor. (Laughter and applause.) Sir, they had been too familiar with the rapacity of the tyrant who chased each oth er over the stage, dagger in hand, not to be pleased with the elevation of a ruler who took nothing but oats out of the public crib (Laughter) a ruler, sir, who, while the reins were with him, would at least have given them a "stable" adtnin istration.

Several were thus dislodged, and the lonit continued reverberations, rising up ike distant thunder from below, pro claimed tha depth of the horrid chasm.

Ttien the young hero ot the occasion, with several hats thrown over his head to pro tect it as lar as possible against any mas ses falling from above, and with a light in his hand and the rope fastened around his body, took his place over the awful pit, and directed the half dozen men, who held the end of the rope, to let him down into the Cimmerian gloom. tIT I 1 vvenava nnara trom his own Hps an account of his Tlcscent, Occasionally masses of earth aTid rock went whizzing pa-t, out none strueK mm. lhirty or forty feet from the-top he saw a from which, as he judged by appearance, two or three avenues led off in different directions. About one hundred feet from the top, a cataract from tf.e side of the pit went rushing down the -abss, and, as he descended by the side of the falling water and the midst of sprav, he felt be extinguishsd, but his care prevented this. He was landed at the bottom ot the pit, 190 feet from the top.

He found it almost perfectly circular. about 18 feet in diameter, with a small opening at one point, leading to a fine chamber of no great extent. Ha found on the floor beautiful specimens of blai silex of immense size, vastly larger than were ever discovered in any other part the Mammoth Cave, and also a multitude of exquisite formations as pure and a wiiite as virgin snow. Making heard, with great effort, by his friends he at length asked them to pul! him part ly up intending to stop on the way an explore a cave that he had observe about forty feet above the bottom of the pit. Renchinj the mouth of the cave, swung himself with much exertion hit it, and holding tha end of the rope in hi hand, ha incautiously let it go, and i swung out apperantlv beyond his reach the situation wan a fearful one, and hi 'friends above could do nothing for hin Soon, however, he made a h-ok of th end of his lamp, and by extending himse as far over the vegre as possible withou failing, he succded Sc-curm th rope, fastening it to a ruck, he follow ed the avenue 150 or 200 yards to a poir, where he found it blocked by an unpads ble avalanche of rock and earth, Returning to the mouth cf this avenue, he beheld an almost exactly similar mouth ot another oa the opposite side of the pit, but not being able to swing himself into it, he refastened the rope around his body suspended himself again over the abyss and shouted to his mends to raise him the top.

The pull was an exceedingly se vere one, and the rope being ill adjusteo around his body gave him the ex eructating pain, uut soon nis pun was forgotten in anew dreadful peiil. When he was 50 feet from the mouth ofthe pit and 100 feet from the bottom swaying and swinging jn mid air, he heard rapid ana exciting wor(js of horror and alarm above, SOon learned that the rope by which he wa3 uoheld had taken me iiuiu me iriction ot the timber over i. which it passed. Several moments awful suspense to those above and still more awful to him below ensued, Ti them and him a fatal and instant catastro phe inevitable. But the fire was extinguished with a bottle of water belonging to himself, and then the party above though almost ex hausted by their labors, succeeded in drawing him to the top.

He Was as calm and self-possessed as upon his en trance into the pit, but all of his compau tons, overcome by fatigue sink down up on tne ground, and his friend, Prof. Wright, from ever exertion and excite- merit, fainted, and remained for a time insensible. The young adventurer left his name carved in the dephts of the Mtelstrom the name of the first and only person that ever gazed upon its mysteries. Useful Inpomatiou. The washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, so proverbially clean, and who get up their linen so beautifully white, use refined borax as a washing powder instead of soda, in the proportion of a large handful of borax powder to about tfn gallons' of boiling water: they save in soap neaily half.

All the large washing establishments adopt the same mode. Dor laces, cambrics, an extra quantity of the powder is usfid, and for crinolines, (required to be- mode very stilt,) a strong solution is necessary. Borax being a neutral salt does not in the slightest degree injure the texture of the linen ils effect is to soften the hardest water, and therefore it should be kept on every toi ette table, lo the taste it is rather sweet, is used for cleaning the hair is an excellent dentifrice, and in hot countries is used in combination with tartaric acid and bi-carbouate cf soda'asa cooling beverage. Good tea cannot be made with hard water all water may be made soft by adding a tea spoonful of borax powder to an ordinary sized kettle of water in which it should boil. Ihe sav iua in the nuantitv of tea tha flavor of green lea, odd a sii.gle leaf from the black curiant trees.

Cure for Bronchitis. Une our cleverest and most reliable friends informs us that common inullen leaves, smoked in a new pipe one in which tohacco has never been used is a sure and certain cure for bronchitis. The remedy is sim- and innocent, and within the. reach of nil.

Recollect that this is not the remedy of a retired physician whose sands of life have nearly run out, but is given to us by one who has tried it himself, and, seen it tried with others, and has never, known it to fail in effecting a permanent cure. The remedy is simple, and we can certainly discover no harm likely to arise from a trial Scientific American.

Aaron Burr's Daughter ik Luck. correspondent of the Springfield St-publican eays hat a natural daughter of Aaron Burr, and his residuary legatee, comes curiously into possession of quite a fortune, in this way Burr held a lease from Trinity Church for the Richmond Hill property, three or four hundred lota the centre of New York, tor 60 years.

He re-leased the land or 03 year to Astor and others, and their lease expires in 1860. The lease for three years then belongs to Burr daughter, and the claim is indispu table and the value: of the lease very great. Already several of the lessees have com prised the cUm for from 11500 to $2,000 per lot. A Snug Income. A f.iw years ao thiire was a very qui et individual in this city, whose occupation as an engineer in one of our large manufacturing establishments, brought him an income of about six hundred dollars per annum.

The same person is now a resident of Brooklyn, N. Y.t and receives an income of about sixty thous and dollars per annum. How did he ao. complish this wonder? He was a thinking man, and he thought out the princi- of the sewing machine, and patented the loop stitch but this invention did not succeed. Others went into the man ufacture of these machines, but they found that the loop stitch was patented.

and though they varied in construction, the original patent covered the basis. The leading manufacturers, therefore1. agreed td allow him a royalty, and Mr. Howes, the gentleman we allude' to, ia now in receipt from them of a sum per annum variously estimated from sixty to eignty thousand dollars. AU he has do is to collect his income, and make himself happy.

Gazette. Crinoliae vs. Umbrella. A letter from Bey rout to a lady In Chelsea, relates that while the writer and another lady, both missionaries, and re cenlly from New England, were enjoy ing a want in tne region ot their cew home, they became consoious that their movements were watched by a native who, wherever they went, followed them, sera. tinizing their every motion, but always at a proper distance and with the most respectful sience.

An; interpretation was afterwards arrived at, when they learned that the native had reported abroad how he followed the strange ladies and was surprised that they should "wear their umbrella under their clothes." The Lyons, France, newspapers record the death of an old miser in that city, of the name of Crepin, who has left of francs and five houses at Lyons. So great was his avarice that, they aay for a long time before his death, he only disbursed 35c a day for his food. He has bequeathed the whole of what he possess ed to a poor widow lady, who by con- tract, long supplied him with two meals a day for his 35o. The majority in Pennsylvania against the Administration is about 40,000 in Ohio, about 15,000, and, wha( is very surprising, although the Republicans of Indiana made a pretty thorough sweep on Congressmen, the popular majority in the State is from one to two thousand the other way. rr i into a wo Id ot morns ana tnistles.

Ha old him, either for a blessing or a curse, to go nd earn his bread by the sweat ol his brow. Thomas Jefferson thought this was a true account, and sin the white man had stolen the black maa, he hoped the Mer-ciiul Fattier would find some way to re move the evil where it existed, and himself endeavoi ed to prevent its growth. Jellerson thought labor was good for the white man. Jefferson man who easoned. Not, to be sure, so smart a man as Senator Pugh, Immense lauh-lerl but still a man not io be snevZd at considerable man iu day.

Well, Jefferson reasoned when he looked on a stieep and saw the wool grown, on his back, and was aware that in our olmiute, men reeded coats made from ool he reasoned, I say, that if man was not meant to labor, thi sheep was not made right. It man wasn tnLended to and wash and card the wool, and spi it and weave it into cloth, and have it cut into a coat by a tailor, then tha sheep wasn made right by any means. It those gentldineu who believe man should not labor, had had the making of the siieep, u.ty would have made it with a blue coat on its back, the bright metal buttons hanging doniu front. Laughter. Now, I believe that labor is a good thing for man and woman, and that it will be found that in the plans of the Almighty it has worked out grand results, tending to the perfectahility of man and woman.

The first prohibitory clause against slav-ery ever written, was penned by Thomas It is called the Wilmot Proviso, because it was re-offered to Congress by a gentleman of that name and tne men who ca'l themselves the followers and worshippers of Jefferson, anc professed to be of the true ulood, call it wind-broken and spanned. Now you know that in the history of our wicked race, it often happens that a man is known by a name which was not. his father's, and that man sometimes claims one for his father wh wa3 )0 rea.ly such. I think taere roust have been some shuffling in that Jeffers0n fam ily. Strange rams must have jumped i he fences and got among the sheep.

Prolonged and excessive merriment. I should like to See 'he father, old Jeffer--on and ad his tamily, praying together. He wou.d pray that the extension of slavery might be presented, and would pray tor its extinction and would thank God that in His purposes, He had decreed that man and woman should earn their bread by the sweat ot their brows. Pugh would probably pray, as he now acts, with a party that that is opposed to free labor, and in favor of slave labor "I thank Thee, Lord, that, when Thou didst say to our first parents, go abroad into a world of thorns and thistles, and earn your bread by the swei.t of your brows, Thou w9 only jok ing with Adam and Jive, for at the same time, Thou didst malte Cuffee and Dinah, who should do all the wot and so Adam and Eve should not sweat at all." Laughter and cheers. I think the old man would have some doubt of the orthodoxy of that prayer AdTentures inhe Mammoth Cave.

The young hero of the adventure de scribed below, is said to be a son of George D. Prentice, editor of the Louisville J'oMr-nal, from which paper the account is taken At the supposed end of what has always been considered the longest avenue of the Mornmoth Cave, nine miles from its en trance, there is a pit, dark and deep terri hie. known as the Maelstrom. Tens of thousands have gazed into it with awe whi'st Bengal bchts were thrown down it to make its feaiful depths visible, but none had the daring ever to explore it. The celebrated guide, Stephen, who was deemed insensible to fear, was ottered 000 by the.

proprietors of the cave if he would descend to the bottom of it, but he shrank from the peul. A tew jenrsj ago, a Tennessee professor, a learned and bold roan resolved to do what no one be-foie him had dared to and, making hi arrangements with great care and precaution, he had himself lowered down by a strong rope 100 feet, but, at that point, his courage failed him, and he called aloud to be dran out. No human power could ever have induced himjto repeat the experiment. Zn I 'SmEw ith inw" to which my triend.
