present, that m onarchy Is the wlsest,
the purest, the best government, which
the skill OF man ever devised, and that
a democracy is utterly barbarous. My
couhtrymen are proyerLially fond ofar-
guinent, and will meet you on both
these questions, and, If you choose, will
argue with you to the end of your llfe."
The murmur was renewed, but still
wi,hout any decided expression OF the
feeling with which his answer had been
received.
The third then rose from his seat,
and with an assured voice which seem
ed 10 announce II certain triumph. said:
81 require your decision on u delicatp
question; but the rules Of tie pasti'n,
warrant 1t, and also candid answer.
You have seen the American and Eng
Iish ladies'. Which are the fairest?
The young republican glanced around
the circle. twas bright with flushing
ewes; and the sweet smiles which wrea-
thed many lovely lip might have woh
less determined patriot from his ale
glance. He did not hesitate, though,
he bowed low to the ladies as he an
swered: a.,
'.The standard of female beauty is, /
believe, allowed to be the power of ex-
citing, admiration, and begetting love
in our sex; and, consequently, those
ladies' who are most admired, and belo-
we'd, and respected by the gentlemen,
must be the fairest. Now assert con-
fdently that there is not a nation on
on earth where woman is so truly be-
loved, so tenderly cherishe d,so respect
fully treated, as in the republic OF the
United States. Therefore, the Ameri-
can are the faIrest. But (and he again
bowed low if the ladies before whom
now have the honor of expressing my
opinion were in my country, we should
think them Americans" p
The applause was enthusiastic; and
after the mirth had subsidized so as to
allow the Judge to be heard, he adludg-
ed the crown to the Yankee.

HERR DaIEsBAcH, the tiger tanner,
recently sat for dagguerreotype like
ness of himself and one OF his tigers,
at New York. After their likenesses
were taken together, the likeness of the
tiger was taken alone. The command
which this singular man has over the
brute creation is truly astonishing
The tiger, winch was full grown one,
was brought from the place Of his con-
finement in carriage to room where
bis likeless wasto be taken, and placed
on a sofa, where he sat perfectly still
While three or four llkenesses were Ia
ken Of his tigership.

WAR.--lt is little word, a monosyl.
liable, three letters. 1t is quite as tamil-
lar as it is brief, even in this nineteenth
century. Time was when it constltu-
ted the great business of human kind;
not of Central Africans and American
Indians only, but Of Europeans, civil
zed men, Christians SO called. Blood,
blood, blood has been the cry of heroes
and nations, from the plains of Troy
to the field Of Waterloo. Personify
the common idea, glory, and the pro-
pensity destruction, and they are twins
in form and feature. The race Of war
maniacs is far from extinct. They are
found abundantly among all classes,
from the sot who declaims to his fellows
in bar-room, to the chief magistrate
who harangues the world from the ma
tional capital. War, war! we hear it
as trippingly upon their tongues as
aquick or gone" upon an auctioneer's.
The people, the legatees of Chrst's
peace principles, are habituated to the
sound. Names are things, and the
word becomes the deed. A single fel-
on is on trial for his life; and ingenuity
is racked, authority ransacked, and el.
oquence exhausted; days, weeks, and
months occupied upon technical point
ofIaw to effect his escape from justice.
But expedients, reason, experience, the
appeals of nature, the commands OF
God, are forgotten or despised in the
policy which may cost the lives Of tens,
the happiness and the hopes of hun
dreds Of thousands of the brave and
the good. ~

CONDENSED ARGUMENT.-A very Gel
ebrated divine says; The world we
inhabit must have had an origin; that
origin must have consisted in a cause;
that cause must have been intelligent;
that intelligence must have been eff
cient; that efficiency must have been
ultimate; that ultimate power must
have been supreme; and that which
always was and is supreme, we know
by the name of God.

From Fraser's Magazine,
.gatv VERSES TO AN OLD FRIEND.
We will net meet again. old friend Of mine!
Much Of life's beauty hath already past;
And now would not willingly resign lpI
The spell thy memory can about me cast. ii
What have been to thee, and thou to me,
Even since those old days wherein we met,
We ne'er could be again, if each should see
How little of the past remaineth yet.
No, no! 1t were not well tolearn how strange,
How all unlike thy heart and nine have grown;
To feel and know how sorrowfully change
Time and the world have wrought; weeping
.4 to own t.tt.4ift -....
The fairest vision OF our lives had fled
I'know we are not as we were; know
How much, alas, of my past self is dead!
Therefore, old friend, wen meet no more
N below!
How have the depths OF bitterness been stirred
Within my soul since those departed days!
I,who could smile at every jesting word
/, whom thy spirit at its win could raise
Up to its own proud heights of dreamy thought
/, from whose sunny hopes, thy nobler mind
Fresh energy and inspiration caught
How little of all this thou now would'st find!
would be still to thee the same as then
The bright, the gay, the fearless; I would be
To thy vexed soul, amid the strife of men,
A joy and comfort; o'er the dreary sea
Of this unresting life fain would bring
From the sweet promise-land of youth, some
fdla sign " ',i "N'.
OF hope, some token Of that joyful spring
When time flowed sweetly as hymn divine.
We will not meet again; for thou gh I've clung,
As fond child, to every lovely dream
We culled like blossoms, when we two were
.la young,
MANY have withered in the duller beam
That lights my pathway now, and we should feel
At once too bitterly that harshest truth
That time, in our despite, hath power to steal
Such sympathy as bound our hearts in youth
We will not meet again! dare not look
Into the secrets of tby-world-tried heart.
Remembering all thou vert, i'll could brook
{. To see change in thee. if changed thou art;
Thou from whose wisdom, ,breathed to Inc OF old,
My soul has gathered strength in hours pain;
How could bear to find thee dull and cold?
Old friend of mine, we must not meet again |!
II may be that wrong thee, thus to dread
Losing the comfort thy remembrance gives;
Thus through life's trials thou hast nobly sped,
. And still thy lofty faith has lived and lives.
Forgive, if this be SO, for am weak
With many care-worn thoughts, and full of fear
Lest now thy voice in altered tones should speak,
Nor pour rich words OF wisdom on mine ear
We will not meet, and all that thou hast been
Thou still mayst be to me TILL life iso'er,
And l, my later griefs unknown, unseen,
Can still to thee be all I was Of yore.
Thou, with thy wise and holy words, shalt bless
My lonely thoughts; and ever o'er thy soul,
Mine image, bright with youth and happiness,
Shall hold, in spite of time, its soft control.
