Burning to Death—How to Prevent it.—Few
weeks pass that we do not see an account of some
female burnt to death- by the catching on fire of
her clothing. Much of the danger and fatality of
this might be prevented by the exercise of a little
presence of mind and courage. If they would. im-
mediately lie down, the clothing would burn
much less rapidly, and the flames would not as-
cend to the body and face. If parents will impress
upon their children the importance of this, and
females will accustom themselves to talk and to
think of it as the best remedy, they would, instead

A Lecture on Hoops Etc.—The La-Grange
True Issue of May the 21st, says, we heard the lec-

ceum, on Monday night last, spoken of very high-
ly, after saying which it proceeds as follows :
The theme “ Money vs.. Brains,” after being
analyzed ami philosophically discoursed on to a
proper length, very naturally led to some remarks
on Young lloopdom. and whilst the lecturer spared
not but boldly told them of’ their foibles, yet. he
did it in language so chaste and elegant, they
could not withhold from him smiles of applause
and approval.
Their angling for gold fish, studying arts, and
laying trap to caten rich beaux, while the real
men of worth was discarded, he well and truly as-
signed as the cause of so many unhappy marria-
ges at the present day. They preferred money to
brains—they would marry a meal-bag .if it were
full of gold dollars, rather tr.an the most brilliant
genius possessed of but little of this world s goods.
Young gentlemen, too, were no better in this res-
pect_ they married cents not sense—they went in-
to the marriag relation pretty much as a specu
lator in the cotton trade, and in both cases the
bagging and robe were an incumbrance.
Communicated.
Mr.-Editor :—In comparing the present condi-
tion of our Government with the past in order to
judge of the future, I am forced to the conclusion
that unless there is a recuperative energy in the
people, our Union is gone, and, if history is not
false, two despotisms aie to arise upon the ruins
of this Republic. This may appear chimerical to
that class of politicians among us who are covert-
ly bringing all their efforts to bear on a dissolu-
tion of the Union, and make it an issue in the
next ’Presidential election. But it seems to me
such men have not the calmness to reflect on the
consequences, nd see that disunion, in the pres-

Another Old Citizen Gone.—Mr-. Stephen Kirk-

veston, died at 4 o’clock this morning, in conse-
quence of injuries recived from a fall from the
upper gallery of his residence, about 10 o’clock
last evening. As was his custom in warm weath-
er, he had gone to sleep on a matress in the gal-
lery ; the noise of the fill attracted the attention
of his family-; and he was found on the ground in
a speechless condition, from which he never recov-
ered. How the accident occurred can only be
conjectured. He was much afflicted with asthma,
and it is probable that he was only partially
awake, and mistook his position. His long res-
idence here, his integrity, public spirit, and good
qualities as a neighbor and a citizen, gave him a
large circle of friends, who join with his family
in sincere regret for his sudden demise.—Civilian

i ent state of things, is a step in the dark ! If the
blessings of disunion were so apparent that men
. of common capacity could see and appreciate
them, the case might be different and meet with
less opposition. But to men who do not wish to
ast the demagogue, and without merit ride into
• power upon the storm which they have been ac-
tive in producing, it seems fraught with every evil
which can befall a nation.
Suppose we become two Republics, with those
feelings and jealousies that caused us to separate,
will not our intercourse with the North entirely
cease, or be regulated by treaty stipulations? and
who is so green as to suppose that the North will
surrender under treaty stipulations those rights
and principles they now cling to with such tenac-
ity of purpose as to nullify the decision of the
highest tribunal in the land"? In either event will
our condition be improved-—will our slaves cease
to travel on underground railroads—or will the
North voluntarily surrender them back to us when
it is against their feelings and interest to do so?
and more particularly, if we open a direct trade
with Europe, and cease to be cosumers of their
manufactures. Will we not then cut off one con-
sumer of our raw material, and thus to a great ex-
tent destroy competition, in both senses.of the
word, and give Europe our purse-strings to man-
age as her interest may dictate. But grant, the
North is willing from motives of interest to treat
with us as other nations—will be able to obtain
what we must consume as cheap, or will our slaves
cease to be harbored by her unworthy citizens to
a much greater extent than at present, as they
can as-soon as they cross an air-line or the Ohio
river claim the light of freemen, and ipso factor

ty and longer duration be guarantied to the insti-
tutiohs of the South ? I think not ; for the insti-
tution of slavery- will continue until the evil
works out its own remedy wiihout the misguided
efforts of man. Will disunion give us more slave
territory? I think not; only through blood and
treasure, and even then we could not use it if for-
eign pauperism and squatter sovereignty continue
to be as much fostered as at present. Admit that
we acquire emore territory, by treaty without
blood, do we need it until we get the slaves to
cultivate and make it profitable ?—which, we
could not readily do. As,a native of the South,
I am in favor of extending the area of slavery as
soon as we have a superal urdance of slaves in our
present limits, but, until that is the case, the hue
and cry upon this subject is either childish or
demagoguical, and the statesman (pardon the ex-
pression) who tuns his energies in that direc-
tion, and for the sake of disunion will risk the
consequences, is a fit subject for the lunatic asy-
lum* and the sooner he is taught this salutary
lesson the better for him and the country, undi-

which may appertain to that object a comma should divide
the illustrution from the fact stated.

Jerks—Ah, Mrs. Jinks, you came very ngh
having a splendid shawl this morning. Mr Jinks
offered $400 for it, (shows shawl,) but we could

let Jinks have it for $400. and send around to the
house and I will pay the odd $100 [Exiti]
Scene III —Enter Jinks.

and times being hard, I have concluded to let you
have that shawl nt $400. [Money paid, shawl

The Rebellion in British India—A Remarkable
Leader.— The Bombay correspondent of the New
York Herald, of the date of Jan. 10h, says that
at the present time there are at least two hundred
thousand of the Sepoy rebels in the field against
the British Government. The mutiny is yet very
, far from being subdued. Retreating to their
almost inaccessible fortresses and jungles, the
Sepoy rebels are constantly sallying out and com-
mitting forays upon the cities and towns in the
prairies. The great rebel leader, Nena Shib, and
his lieutenants, are yet at large to encourage the
spirit of disaffection and mutiny, and until they
are taken and hanged..there can be no peace or
security to British India. Of one of Nena’s lieu-
tenants the Herald’s correspondent thus speaks :
" Decidedly the most singular character that
has been brought forth by the - Indian mutiny is
Tantia Topee. About the time of the fall of
Ihansi, Tantia seems to have made his appearance
—at least at this time he first began to be formi-
dable. Suddenly appearing at the head of some
twenty-five thousand troops, he has now for near-
ly a year kept the English forces in unceasing mo-

improvement of her pupils, will bring to its sup-

“ A gentle mind, like a smooth stream, reflects [

Parenthesis may be divided into three kinds,
comparative, dependent, and independent. A
specineu of the first is given in the last quoted
example ; of the second i.i the third example—
the last kind being the true parenthesis, and is
generally inclosed, or marked, thus [()]. Some
persons, who do not understand this, place paren-
thesis in all these positions, and thereby mislead
the reader. A real parenthesis is a claue eutire-
ly independent o: the matter under consideration,
and yet may be of great' importance in the appli-
cation of the expression, lhe sign of the paren-
thesis serves us theretore instead of the paragraph,
which latter cannot, be made use of in many
places where the parenthesis is usually applied.
Rule IV.— Anti:helical expressions should be desig-
nated by commas. In all cases where divisions are short
and qui ck, and where those adjuncts oj' a santence ai e closely
connected, edner by sense, sound, or illustration, a comma
is u-ed After these have been collected in Juli a semi-
Colon is added ; after this 'more autithetical or compara-.
live adj ‘nets are admitted, and consequently the comgia
is again necessary as above.
“ Though deep, yet clear ;
'though gentle, yet not dull.’’
He was impulsive, zetprudert; kind, gentle,
and loving ; yet not puerile.’’
Antithesis is a con Hast or opposition of two
objects ; as for instance,.beauty contrasted with
ugiuess—this is considered a perfect antithesis.
Bule V — Where a quotatiunis short, or so trivial
as to exclude the actual necessity of marks of quotation,
the comma ipay be usid. Tnis is about the only legiti-
nuate use of the comma as a pause of sequence.
“ Plutarch calls lying, the vice of slaves.”
“ And the Lord said, Let there be light, and
there was light. ”
Rule VI — All vocative expressions, when they are
devoid of exclamatory quality, or nearly so, should be dis-
tinguished by a comma : as also, adjunct composing ad-
dress through the use of proper or common nouns.
" Lord, have I not tried to serve tnee!"
“ My son, give me thy heart.”
“Ye nymphs Polyma begin the song,
To heavenly themes subiliner strains belong.”
The use of the comma, in this instance beto-
kens a slight sequential pause, but it is indistinct,
and theretore needs a separate rule. Some dis-
crimination is necessary iudeciding upon the pro-
priety of its use, so as not to conflict with the
sphere of the mark of exclamation. This decis-
ion should always be subject to the sense of the
subject. 9
Rule VII.— When two adjuncts appear, the subse-
quent being only a qualifier of tne unteccaent, they should '
not be separated by a comma ; but if the subsequent is not :
a qualifier, the comma is admitted before the conjunction. ;
Seif Control.—A nierchant had a dispute with
a Quaker respecting the settlement of an account
The mercbant was determined to bring the account
into court—a proceeding which the Quaker earn-
estly deprecated, using every argument in his
power to convince the merchant of his error ; but
the latter was inflexible.
Desirous to make a last eff rt, the Quaker call-
ed at his house one morning, and inquired of the
servant if his master was at home. The merchant
hearing he inquiry, and knowing his voice, called
out fvm the top of the stairs in a-loud voice :
“ yell the rascal lain not at home.’’
The Quaker, looking up to him, calmly remark-
ed :—
“ Well friend, God put thee in a better disposi-
tion.
The mrerchant. struck afterwards with the meek-
ness.of the reply and having more deliberately in-
vestigated the matter, became convinced that the
Quaker was right, and that he was wrong. He
requested to see him, and*after acknowledging his
error, he said :—
“ I have one question to ask yow. How were
you able with such patience, on various occasions,
to bear my abuse?” .
“Fiiend,” replied the Quaker, “I will tell
thee. I was naturally as hot and violent as thou
art, I knew that to indulge this was sinful; and
I found it was imprudent. I observed that men
in a passion always spoke loud ; and I thought if
I could control my vioce I should repress my pas-
sion. I have therefore mule it a ruletnever to let
my voice rise above a certain key ; and by a care-
ful observance of this rule, I have, by the blessings
of God. entirely mastered my,natural temper.’'’
The Quaker reasoned philosophically, and the
merchant, as every one else may do, benefited by
his example.
would think the comma in this instance would
nullify the use or importance of the conjunction,
but it certainly does not; because the comma
shows that it is a sentence composed of two inde-
pendent members, and the conjuntion shows that
the latter division is added as an illustration, or
essential addition to the former. When this inde-
pendence is not exhibited the comma must be
omitted ; as :
“Webster was a great statesman and orator.’’
Here the noun, orator, carries the influence of
the qualifying adjective, great, along with it.
Rule II.—The enumeration nouns, adjectives, or oth-
er parts of speech shoidd, .when they come in rapid suc-
cession, be separated by commai.
“ Washington was a brave, wise, good, hon-
est," and self-sacrificing man.” •
“ Franklin was a tallow-candler, printer, editor,
statesman, and philosopher.”
“ A man fearing, loving and serving his creator,
lives for a noble puspose.”
“ Success in life generally depends upon acting
prudently, fixedly, energetically, and persever-
ingly."
This rule is made necessary because it is more
elegant,and just as fully ex ressive of the sense
as if the conjunction, and, were actually present
in each case. If the latter were present, and not
understood, the pause would still be necessary—
thus the comma excludes superfluence verbiage
without diminishing its use as a sign of pause
One of the first and most important rules- of rhet-
oric tells us to exclude all redundant words from
our sentences, and to this end the comma here*
lends its aid. "
Rule III. — Parenthetical adjuncts, no matter how
admitted, or where, should be distinguished by commas I
before and after them. Single words {adverbsgenerally) |
m iy constitute parenthetica l adjuncts.
