IA CHARAcTER-A western man says he
once saw in the South one Of the qneerest
looking blaclies imaginable. His face
was so black that he couldn't tell when it
was morning, his wool curled 50 tight that il
made him round shouldered-his nose so
fat and greasy be had to put tar on his fin
gers when he wanted to blow it--his shins
were so sharp, he couldn't 60 through
cornfeld without splitting the stalks; and
his heels were so long, it was impossible for
him to go down hill without tying couple

A SYBILL1NE PRoPHEcY.-In one Of
Cicero's fragments, the following remark
able sentence occurs:
!" Far across the ocean if, wemay credit
the Sybilline books, and after many ages,
an extensive and rich country will be dis
covered, in it will arise a hero, who, by his
counsel and arms, viii deliver his country
from the slavery BY which she was OPP
pressed. This shall he do under favorable
auspices; and Oh, how much more adm ra-
bic viii he be than our Brutus and Camil-
lus. These predictions were known to
our Accius, who has embodied them to his
NYctegresia, and embellished with the
ornaments Of poetry"

MISCELLANEOUS. s.

CHARITY.-HoW beautiful is charity.
She goeth forth like an angel, with conso-
lation on her tongue, love IN her heart,
pity in her eyes, and relief IN her hands.
She incInes her ear to the suffering and
the poor. She seeketh out distress, nor
ceases from morning until evening her
mission among the homes of the sorroWing.
She heeds not the scorn of the proud, the
shrinking Of the fearful, the eyes of the in
ouisitive, nor rain, nor wind, nor the bitter
frost, but keeps on, and her way is COM
passed about with gladness. The hungry,
the ill-clad, the sick and the despairing re-
ioice at her approach. They behold her
shining like celestial light amid the dark
ness of the world. She shuns ostentation,
she has no set time for her labor, but wor-
keith always, for want, and suffering, and
grief, are ever among men-eVer in her
path. Nor goes she unreWarded. The
recollection Of virtue, mingled with grati-
tude of those who have enjoyed her bene-
ficence, make her life perpetual delight.
Inspired by her, man performs the noblest
deeds, and woman is exalted into an angel.
NOBLE SENTIMENTs.-This is an agree
able world after all. If we would only
bring ourselves to look at the subjects that
surround us in their true light we should
see beauty where we behold deformity,
and listen TO harmony where we heard
nothing but discord. To be sure there is
great deal of vexation to meet we cannot
sail upon a clear coast forever yet if we
preserve a calm eye and steady hand, we
can SO trim our sail and manage our helm,
as to avoid the quicksands and weather
the storms that threaten shipwreck. We
are members of one great falnily we are
travelling the same road, and shall arrive
at the same goal. We breathe the same
air, are subject to the same bounty, and
we shall lie down upon the bosom of our
common mother. It is not becoming, then,
that brother should hate brothTe; it is not
proper that friend should deceive friend;
It is not right that neighbor should injure
neighbor. We pity that man who can har-
Dor enmity against his fellow; he loses
half the enjoyment Of life; he embitters his
own existence. Let us tear from our eyes
the colored medium that invests every OBJ
iect with the green hue of jealousy and
suspicion; turn a deaf ear to scandal, and
breathe the spirit of charity from our hearts.

THE STATE NOT DIsTRlCTED.

We see by the Ohio Statesman, that on
the 18th instant, when the Wing majority
were about to consumate the unholy act OF
disricting the State, without regard TO the
Democratic party or honesty, the Democratic
Senators withdrew from the house, andth
by preserved the constitution and the rights
of the people of Ohio. The wings with a
majority Of Sjriepn 7'hauSnnd against them
last fall, claim a right to district the State in
such manner ns to deprive these sixteen
thousand, and probably three times as many
more, from being represented according to
their wishes. This is why the Democratic
Senators withdrew, and nobly will they be
sustained for the act They did not break up
the Legislature as did the wings in 1912, but
merely absented themselves for time, until
the reckless majority would agree upon some
thing near an honest apportionment Of the
State. We will give more particulars in our
next paper in relation TO this matter.

PEACE APPROACHING.

1t is rumored that the Mexicans. made
a proposition for peace lately; and that the
terms upon which they desire to treat have
been forwarded by the American officers to
Washington, and been acted upon, and Gen.
Shields empowered to treat. This is only
given as flying report. A few days will pro-
badly bring us some definite aud reliable
news. From the fact that nothing has yet
appeared of this kind in the Union, we are
inclined to believe it is a hoax. Peace has
undoubtedly been delayed by the Mexlcans,
in consequence of false impression receiv
ed from the tories of this country, that we
believed the war to be 'unholy,' and would
therefore withdraw our army Such were
the sentiments and such the official conduct
of the wings generally in high places. But
the people speak and act differently, knoNn ing
ii to be right for American citizens to main
tain their country and revenge her wrongs.
