COLoRs.-In these the ancients certainly
far surpassed the moderns. Sir Humphrey
Davy made an effort to analyze the celebra
ted Tyrian Purple Of the east; but these eff
forts were without success. He declared he
could not discover of what it was composed
The Naples yellow, too though less known,
was much used, and the art of making it is
entirely gone. The TyrIan purple is the
color of many houses of Pompei, and they
look as fresh as if just painted The colors
of Titan are as vivid and beautiful as when
first laid on by the great artist, while those
of Sir Joshua already look chalky and dead.
And Sir Joshua himself confessed, after
making it the study of his life, that he had
never been able to discover how Raphael
and the other great artists had been able to
preserve the brightness and beauty of their
paintings. But, if we marvel at these ar
lists, three centuries back, what shall we
say to those paintings found in the tombs of
Egypt, more than two thousand years old,
and yet kept fresh and bright-though bur-
led for that time beneath the ground in the
damp, dark caves of the East. The very
wife of Solomon is found there, just as she
was painted on the eve of her departure from
her fathers home to share the throne of Ju-
dea, and not only is the color of her gar
ments preserved, but the bloom is still on
her cheek and lips, and the lustre in her eye,
even as it was then. There are paintings,
too, as far back as the time Of Moses; por-
trait, supposed to be of Nico, the King who
drove the Israeltes into the Red Sea, and
even the colors of this are perlectly-IF Ven

TIDINEss.

Without going to the full extent of those
housewives who sometimes tell their slat-
ternly servants or children that cleanliness
is next to goodness, have a strong DISPOSE
ton to give tidiness precedence of many vir-
tues that may, perhaps, consider themselves
entitled to take the lead, instead of follow
ing in its train. Even when pushed to a fin
icial and fastidious nicely, it is an excess in
the right direction; for it is surely better to
90 beyond the mark of neatness and regu-
larity, than to fall short of it. Tidiness has
in it much more than meets the eye. 1t viii
generally be found that love of material
order, involves a love of moral order, for
there is a much greater sympathy than is
commonly supposed, between corporea aud
mental habits, between the outward and
visible sign, and the inward sense Of grace,
so that should Immediately predicate of
tidy person, that he was a well-conducted
person-one disposed TO set his house in or
der, metaphorically, as well as literally, one
who would have clean hands literally, as
well as digitally.
When observe that person, (cal him
a precision, a quiz, if you will,) feels his
eye offended if picture hang awry, if his
room be Uttered, if the smallest article be
out of its place, | see before me pilot bal
loon, which shows me the current of his in
cllnatlons, and say to myself, that man, in
the great affairs of life as well as in the
small economy Of his parlor, is friend to
congruity, order, arrangement, fitness, and
all the properties.
What tidiness of inward feeling can be
looked for from those who are slovens and
slatterns in externalsl What regard to APP
pearances in conduct from those who neg
glect them in person! And yet there are
people who seem to think they have a vest |
ed interest in their dirty habits. and feel
themselves aggrieved when they are exposed. |
''Do you call this cleaning the room ?"
asked a mistress, observing, one bright |
morning, that the dust, instead of being car
ried away, had been brushed into the recess
es of the apartment
Eyes ma'am," was the 6ippant reply =
"the room would be clean enough if it were
not for the filthy sun, that shows all the dir
ty corners"
Exactly in the same spirit do anti-educa-
ton and ry-wel-as-they-do- sort of peo-
pie, complain of the intrusive rays of knowl-
edge when they penetrate into their priyil-
ege-darkness and foulness. They hate the
public enlightenment, which reveals all the
dirty corners of the political and social sys-
TEN. Their own ignorance may be bliss,
and they, perhaps, not altogether unwise in
anticipating mischief from the march of in
tellect in others; for in the general illumi-
nation, people must either write "empty
house" upon their front, or run the risk of
having their dark windows peIted by the
passing rabble.-Literary Gem.

and oval, pulp soft, with three seeds en-
closed; it is great bearer and of delicl-

A NOVEL CASE.

The New York Courier states that a
singular case was tried in the Court of
common Pleas, last Friday and Saturday,
the interest of which, however, was mar
red by the jury failing to agree upon a
verdict. a s'ep-father sued his step-son
for several years board, con,ending that
the son made promise when he came to
live with his step-iather, to pay his board.
1t was urged that being minor, any con-
tract or promise was void, but as board
comes under the head of necessaries,
Judge Inglis decided that the promise was
binding. Judge |. also charged that as a
general rule step-ta,her was not bound
TO maintain his step-chidren, aprinciple.
which if established, may cause cons der
able Inconvenience in many families.

Mr.. Editor:-ln your last number, there
appears communication over the sigma
nature OF "Onoma," in which the writer
says ''Scrulator, on the other hand is
generally known, and it was known that
he was obliged to leave our town at
fixed time. Vindex took advantage of
this circumstance, and delayed his last
article several weeks, till Scrutator had
gone from this town and from the State,
TO fill an important station in his calling,
where his time is wholly engrossed by
his duties. By this piece of management
VndeX gaps no credit, is was not honora-
bic generalshp," In reply we say, that
the above is q base and contemplate false
hood; and if the writer above alluded to,
has seen all the correspondence between
'ocru,alor," and "Vindex," he knew
when he penned the article, that it was
false. If, however, he has without en-
aiming, but upon the report of others,
permitted himself to be made to conduit
through which lalsehood may be poured
forth; in that case we would refer him to
our communication published in your pa
per on the Sth day of April last, in which
we say, 1--WE regret that circumstances
beyond or control haze hitherto prevent
ed reply to Scrutator's last nimitabe
production" This we know would be
conclusive evidence. to the mind of any
gentleman, that the delay was unavolda.
BILE, and not intentional. Deliberately to
publish such SANDER, and then talk of
"honorable generalship'' is to offer an
insult to common sense. The idea, that
because "Scrutator had gone from this
town and flom this State to fill an mpor..
lant station in his calling where his time
is engrossed by his duties;" that therefore
he could not reply to our last article, is
too futile TO deserve serious reply; had he
been sen: on some foreign mission, to
Europe, OF cross the Rocky Mountains,
or even to some distant State; there might
have been some excuse for the reference.
But when it is known that he is in an adj
joining State, within some forty or fifty
miles of ''lhis town." where there is
daily mail communication, through which
in 3 ord hours, any package could be
sent and received; and that "his calling"
is the same there as it was here; we think
it will be no difficult matter to fix the pro-
per estimate to thus very lame apology
But it appears tn at "Onoma" proposes
shortly to 'enter the field of fight in the
stead of Scrutator." We take the liberty
to say to him in advance, that until he re-
iroc's the rile slander for which ve hold
him guilty. We shall treat all his future
communications with that contempt
which they will SO richly merit.

"A MIR. Mcdowell came to our Office,
yesterday, and told us that there is an
immense pigeon roosl in the forks of the
Maquckels, in Jackson county, such as
have never been seen i'll this country be-
fore. 1t is three miles long and half a
mile in width. There can be no estimate
made of their numbers. Their roosling
places are about mile distant from their
nests and feeding places, being thee in
number, and each one covering section
Of land; and. in passing to and fro, they
darkCn the air with their number; break
down young trees with their weight; and
hundreds are killed by getting enangled
in the falling limbs and branches. The
people kill their with clubs; and their
noise is so loud, that, when gun is fired
amongst them, the report cannot be heard;
and person can stand in one place and
shoot all day, the birds returning as soon
as You can load. They are building their
nests, and the people are alarmed, lest they
may destroy their crops"

MIR. Bolts AND TIE PRESIDENT

MED certain charges made by Mr.. Bolts
against Mr.. Tyler -Whereupon Mr.. b.
comes forth in the Richmond Wing, with
scorchlng expose of Executive sayings
We copy paragraph or two, less for the
edllying tone Of the President, than for
the Daguerreotype-lke fidelity of The pic
ture, adding that Mr.. Bolts makes anida
Wit to his statement. He called a few
days after the commencement OF the Ex-
ira Session on Mr.. Tyler, and he says:
After getting through the business that
carried me there. MIR. Tyler said:
'Well, Bolts, | understand YOU have
been denouncing my message" to which
lreplied,
mo, Mr.. Tyler, | have said nothing
about your message that deserves to be
characterized as denunciation, though |

munjcate every whisper that may be made.
I'll tell you candldiy what | did say of
the message, when asked my opinion OF
1t: ] said it was slip slop, milk and
water affair, and not such as had expec-
ted or desired to see."
Mr.. Tyler said, with some animation,
but good humoredIy: "What did you ex-
pect or wish?"
"Well sir" said !. 81 would have had
you to have recommended Bank of the

three plans: the Bank of the United States,
the State Bank System and the Sub. Trea-
sury and have told you to take your
choice, and | would be satisfied with Ell

IL is amusing to see certain papers
speak of MIR. Wcbster's retiring from an
Office, which he has file ncilh so much
honor TO himself. A twelvc-mon,h ago
the same papers abused him for not re-
firing from an office in which they declar-
cd he could nat remain riM honor.
The above is from the Boston Courier
paper specially friendly to Mr.. Webster
a man may discharge certain labors
with such consummale skill, as to enlitle
him to very high credit for intellect and
intelligence, while his position may be
less desirable, less honorable, than the
possession of that high intellect would
seem TO require. The first mate OF ship
NAV find things on board wearing the
appearance of Saver, tratlicker, or pir-
acy. |, would be better that he should
leave it with the other officers. He ight,
however, think that his skill would avail
something for the better portion Of the
owners, spite of the discredt attached to
his "messmates,o he might win some
honor by fighting off general enemy.
Sill he would undoubtedly gain much
honor 10 himself, by retiring from place
where, not having any share IN the aflec-
tons or views of the chief in command,
nor any the least feelings in common
with those around him, participating i'll a
certain dislike, he, of course, could not
hare remained Nth honor.
But to speak more definitely. Mr..
Webster declared, as long ago as last Sep
tcmber, that he was, as he always had
been, a Wing. An! from that time to the
present, Mr.. Tyler has s,urdlIy tisavow-
ed Whigism, and prolessed himself of The
party which the Wings outed, when they
obtained power in 1910, and brought in
IA foe, as well as a friend. While Mr.
Webster has won honor to himself by his
negotiations as Secretary Of State, he GER
.,anIy was not less mindful of personal
honor, when he retired after these were
complcted.-U. S. Gazette.
