why Aldermen shonId be Fat.

Plato whose doctrines are not fliciently atten-
ded to by the philosophers of the present age allows
TO every three souls-one immortal and ration
al, seated in the brain, that it may overlook and
regulate the body; second consisting of the sury
and rascble passions which, like belligerent pow
crs, lie encanped around the heart; third, mortal
and sensual, destitute of reason, gross and brutal in
its propensities, and enchanted in the belly that it
may mot disturb the divine soul by its ravenouS
howlngs. Now, according to this excellent theory,
what can be more clear than that your fat alderman
is most likely to have the most regular and well con-
dtioned mind?-His head is like huge spherical
chamber contaninga prodigious mass of soft brains
whereon the sectional soul lies softly and snugly
couched, as on feather bed; and the eyes, which
are windows of the bed chamber, are usually half
closed, that its slumberings may not be disturbed
by external objects A mind thus comfortably lodg-
ed and protected from disturbance, is manifestly
most likely to perform its functions with regularity
and ease. BY dint of good feeding, moreover, the
mortal and malignant soul, which is confined in
the belly, and which, by its raging and roaming,
puts the irritable soul, in the neighborhood of the
heart, in an intolerabe passion, and thus renders
men crusty and quarrelsome when hungry, is COM
petely pacifed, silenced and put to rest; where
up host of his honest good fellow qualities
and kind-heared affections, which had lain perdu
silly peeping out of the loop-holes of the heart,
finding this Cerberes asleep, do pickup their spir
its, turn out and all in their Holiday suits and
gamble up and down the diaphragm, disposing their
possessor to laughter, good humor, and thousand
friendly offices towards his fellow mortals. ss-

mand it, to say to the struggling sons of the
West, work, and we will work with you
strive, and you shall have your. reward
produce, and you shall have your market
gather together the product of your soil, the
wealth of your forests, the bowels of YOU
hills, and we will provide you safe harbors
for their protection and UNRESTRICTED ri
vers for their transportation.
Such, at least, is the issue presented to
the West upon this most important question
Of policy, and how will they act upon it!
Will you support the policy which favors
your struggling effort, and which harmon
ICES with your interests and known wishes
or will you support the platform which de-
MES your rights aud opposes your interests
perhaps with the deceptive consolation In
your own minds, that when in power the
Democratic nominee will stultify his past
life, violate the pledge which he has given
to support the Platform which declares your
policy UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and give his
sanction to River and Harbor Bill. Be-
ware! The leading Democratic papers oil
the South are looking forward to his election
as one that will stay the march of improve
ment, by vetoing the progressive tendency
of our Western Legislators.

1--WE have recently received copy ofthe circu-
lar of the Lexington Law School, under the charge
ofJudge John w. peterborough, of the Western
District of Virginia. His school is, we learn, in a
prosperous condition, and from what we have ex-
perienced of the plan and method of instructions
pursued at such Schools, (having attended that OF
Judge Thompson at Slaunton, now discontinued)
we have no hesitancy in pronouncing it the best
method muse. The known ability of Judge Brock
enbrough, his judicial experience, and above all
the fact that his School is the only one West OF the
Blue Ridge, and, that while the course of insruc-
zion is general, and stted for all portions of the
Union It is nevertheless partially based upon and
adapted 10 Virginia practice, commends this School
especially to the consideration of young men pre-
pairing for the bar in Western Virginia. The Ses-
sion commences annually on the 25th of,October,
and terminates on the 18th of March following
The tuition fee is $50 per session, while good
boarding can be obtained for $3.50 per MONTH
Persons desiring to attend this School, can have
further particulars by application to the Judge by
letter OF otherwise.

Editorial Gleanings.

LIABILITIES OF TELEaRApHINo.-The last Legis-
lature of Maine passed an act making telegraphic
companies liable for error in dspatchs, either III
transmission or in writing out to the amount PAID
for its transmission to its destination, both IN ana
out of the State. In case of unreasonable delay 10
transmit or deliver, affecting the value oil the
despatch the whole amount paid shall be refunded.
Damage for classifying despatch from twenty to
one hundred dollars Operators, agents. clerks
and officers are also held liable for any fraud COM
mtted OF attempted by means Of the telegraph.
MARRIAGE.-The Albany Argus, in the course OF
| a sensible article on marriage, says:
"Look beneath the surface, examine the heart
and strive 10 choose what will confer lasting hap
piness rather than Temporary qualification. Marry
| heart and soul, not form nor mind; act Tor
yourself not for others, consult reason not PASSION
and think marriage an affair of years, no moments;
| period whose freshness and glttering will soon
| wear away, and let sincerity and worth form the
| foundation upon which you are to build your life
and your happiness. Then will marriage be what
it should be, gift from Heaven, blessing him who
receives and those who share its obligations, its
paths and its joys"
ADULTERATroN IN COMMON ARTICLES OF FooD.-
The London Lancet is exhibiting the extent to
which articles of food in common use are adulter-
ated in England. The result of a series of analysis
of the various articles of consumption tends 10
show that in hardly single commodity is there
such a.thing as absolute honesty. Perfect purity,
as regards the quality and genuineness of tea,
coffee, milk and fifty other articles besides,
is proved to be almost fabulous; such thing does
not exist, except in isolated cases, and then not in
tentonally on the part of the dealer. Among the
latest articles analyseds Cuyenne pepper, of which
| four samples only, out of twenty-eght, bought OF
different dealers, were found to be genuine.
RESIGNATION OF a Cry CoUNcIL.-All the MEM
beers of the city council OF Lynchburg, Va, have
resigned in consequence of the storm of Indignation
exhibited by portion Of their constituents at the
passage of an ordinance for poisoning dogs n
large. A large town meeting of respectable citi-
zens was subsequently held and the members re.
quested to withdraw their designations. The riot
GUS conduct of the opponents of the ordinance wa!
severely condemned by the meeting.

The Monk OF La TRAPrE.-We Learn from thu
Madison (Wis.) Argus, of the 9th ult., that Lea
hey, well known as the Monk of La Trappe,' re-
Gently killed Edward ]. Manley. at Pardeeville
Columbia county, in that State, by shooting. He
also shot at Esquire Morton twice, shot slight,
wounding. He was finally arrested, examined ant
committed to Jail to await his trial for murder
The cause of the murder was jealousy of Mamie,
and his (Leahey's) wife.
We find the following in the New York papers,
Correspondence Of the Elroaukie Sentinel.
Gentlemen: write to inform you that there was
q man murdered yesterday at PardeeyilIe, in this
county. The circumstances are theses A Mr.. Lea
hey, (of Catholic notoriety, who once lectured in
Milwaukee, which caused mob among the Catho-
lies some twoyears since,) became suspicious of an
Irish friend, by the name of Manly, of having too
much intimacy with his (Leahey's) wife, and sued
him few weeks ago, but failed to convict him.
Yesterday they had another trial, and Maney was
again cleared, when Leahey drew out his revolver,
and shot Manley, causing his death in few mo-
ments. Leahey also shot twice at Esquire Morton,
of Pardeeyille, once he missed him; the second
time the ball passed through his clothes grazed his
body, and lodged in his arm. All this occurred in
the Court room, while the room was eroscded.-
Leahey has had his examination and been commit
ted to Jail for murder. Yours, &C.,

Beauty's Doom.

"a pcna sc quo dir; qucsta fu rosa."'
And would you think this withered stem
Once bore fower-of loveliest bloom
In natures wreath, roseate gem,
Unmatched for beauty and perfume
flower so fair-the charmed sense,
Regardless passed all others by
So sweet the breath, that issued thence,
The air would pause to catch its sigh.
So marked its grace, the sister flowers
Were cast in shade, or lost to sight
So pure its tints, the gentlest showers
Seemed only sent to keep them bright.
The evening dews would seek its cup,
To nestle on couch so fair;
, The jealous Sun but dried them up,
That his own rays might revel there.
No thorn appeared, to wound the touch,
Could touch have dared profane its form;
No briery fence, or only such l-f
As gives the modest moss-rose cham.
This beauteous flower-we watched it we'll
100 This favored plant, of earth and skies;
And now, behold, its fate 10 tell,
withered stem before us lies
Its hues are gone,-its fragrance she'd
1t droops, like all, to Time and Woes;
We see it, gathering 10 the dead,
t~And scarce can say, this was rose.''
