to enjoy the unenviable pre-emiuence of being

THE BITTER NIGHT.

Ali night we stood beside his bed
a All night with broken sighs,
We sadly turned his aching head,
And wished the morn would rise.
His little hands, so thin and pale,
His eyes half closed with pain;
Without, the waiiing autumn gale,
And cold November rain.
The great trees rocking in the blast,
An! soon If all was DER.
The little heart that beat so fast
Could beat for US no more.
For ere the morn its beams had lent,
Upon his little hand
He laid his cheek. and softly went
Into the better land.

POLITICIANS.


The following portraiture of politician
is from the New York Mirror. 1t is well
and truthfully drawn:
A correspondent asks what is the vocation
of a irregular" politician. This is difficult
question to answer. 1t would be easy, and
perhaps not unjust, TO say there is nothing
regular about such a person. If he were
the oracle of patriotism-that something in
n mans breeches pocket" as defined by DIR.
Johnson-his vocation would be quint-essen-
tally selfish and mercenary. If he were the
pioneer or shaper of public opinion, 'stewed
from the rank breath of the rabble," as HaZ-
lit defines it, his profession would be no less
mercenary and unprincipled. Whatever he
is, as classified among human agencies, it is
papable to the least careful observer that he
is an intriguer in sOcety-a trafficer in the
basest passions, the narrowest prejudices,
and the siliest credulities of communities.
The politician lives upon the differences
and prejudices of society in matters Of legis-
ation and jurisprudence. He fattens upon
dissensons, and is noted and powerful ac-
cording to the number Of his followers. To
these he is eternally unfolding political para
discs, and promising to institute the milleni-
um of public reform and purity, if he can
only be elected to some post or other. II he
can't be President he may finally consent to
be pound-keeper. In the main, he is a windy,
pretentious, false fellow. He doesn't care
for reason nor right, so long as he can win.
1t matters little what party he espouses if it
brings preferment And be sure the louder
he talks of honesty and Indignation, the hol
lower is he, and the more trucking to rOgues
in places and power.
Professionally, the "regular" politician
would peril his soul for the good of the peo-
ple-he loves the dear people-when, really,
he would sell the people and his own soul,
for personal power and eclat. 1t is laugha-
BILE to see him on the stump in 81 Gard" or
through a letter to some committee, shake
the "new broom" at the Augean stable-he
will sweep it! Did he ever fail to promise as
much ?-but, alas the manure and rubbish
have only deepened since the framing Of the
Oldest code.
Parties are, undoubtedly, good things, and
the more nearly the people are divided there
by the better, for thus each is the stronger
check upon the other, and the firmer and
purer the administration of government and
justice. We have ample enough proof of
this in the thus far results of the last nation
al election. But if parties are good, the
irregular" politician is "A bad thing-a cor
rupting element in the body polite. He
cares for no check, and desires none, save
upon the success of his rivals. He cajoles
the mob to thcii face, and laughs at the people
in his sleeve. Over the people he would rs
soon sing dirge as n cradle song, especially
if the former paid best. We speak of poll
ticans by trade, and traders they are to de
gree unknown beyond the purieus in which
they tester their way to society's surface, like
ulcers or like scum.

LARD AND BAcos.-We have been shown
. Circular, issued by the Superintendent of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, from
which we are permitted to make the follow
Ing extract and to which We invite the atten-
ton of our friends who have Lard and b.
con to ship:
"From the first of May to the first of Oc-
tober agents will not receive Lard unless
packed in metallic cases, proof against leak.
Ing.
During the same months Bacon will not be
loaded in the same car with any other freight
that will be injured by greasing."
From the above regulation Of the West
ern and Atlantic road, persons having Lard
to ship over the East Tennessee and Geor-
gia road, must either have it put up in metal
lie cases, or send it forward between the first
of October and the lst of May.

icy The revolution in Spain is legard'

tY The revolution in Spain is regarded
with extreme JOY by the Spaniards in the
United States. La Chronica, the Spanish
newspaper published in New York, describes
it as "a rising up Of all that is most sacred in
the human heart against political despotism
supported by the most shameful immortality"
The same journal goes on to say that the late
ministers were "proud, malignant, immoral,
and, at tie same time, presimptuous and
vain," and that thoy ''mads the crown the OBJ
ject of public contempt, and undermined the
most national and conservative institutions "

THE ADMINISTRATIONS Knows NO WEST
The following paragraph, which we clip from
the st. Louis Democrat, embodies truth. 1t
is refreshing to hear these Democrats vindi-
cate the cause of truth by affirming the posi-
ton taken by the Wings. 1t does not always
suit to do so, but in the present instance, the
editor of the Democrat having nothing to gain
from the Administration, speaks out what he
thinks:
The Administration at Washington has not
vet discovered the existence OF the MISSISSIPPI
ri river or the Great West--in the language
of great politician, it may be said that the
Administration "knows no West" it knows
nothing but the East and that part OF the
country in which the tide flows.

az The capital prize of 1880, Class
D. So. Military Academy Lottery, drawn 18th
August, was sold at the Office of NJ. Boulle-
met, agent, Mobile, Ala, where more prizes
have been sold than at any place since the
institution organized. If we were disposed
to encourage the "demoralizing practice Of
gambling in lotteries" which we are not at
this time, having already realized enough in
that way to suffice for present purposes, we
would advise oil who wished to try their
luck to purchase of Boullemet. The goose

GEN. ScoTr FOR PRESIDENT AGAN.-"Po-
tomac," the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Patriot, says that political
movement is going on there and in other sec
tons of the country, which has for its object
the thorough reorganization Of the whig
party, and the running Of Gen. Winfield
Scott for President at the election of 1856.
General Scott! Is he the same gentleman
that run against Frank Pierce in 1862! The
name seems sort of familiar to us as having
been mixed up in some way with that memo
rable canvass.

The CoMpLAMTs.-We have lived in this
county for six years past, and every year
We have heard grievous and discouraging ac-
counts about "short crops"-in fact not more
than "a half crop" is ever made, according
to the croakers. There is one thing, how
ever, we have always noticed-no matter
how "short the crop" was stated to be at
harvest and gathering time, whenever prices
reached pretty high figure immense guam
titles of produce made its appearance for
market. It is true, the drought has been un-
usually severe and protracted, still if the
prices of grain reach a much higher figure,
tho capacities of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad will hardly suffice to carry
off the surplus that will be brought forward.
One Of two things is true-our people man.

duce are up, or else the most of the talk
about "short crops" is sheer humbug.

E- If we could muster up any thing
like n plausible apology for the barrenness of
our editorial columns this week, VIC should
certainly offer It to our readers. But "tho

of his scissors, which said scissors mystic

ing more than n pair of scissors; and the
particular value of one pair is about the
same as that of another of tho same price,
quality and temper. That point being logi-
cally argued and definitely determined, the
next remark is-we placed peculiar value
upon the "lost or stolen" clippers-they
had been in our possession long time, hav-
ing been presented to us some five years ago
by an esteemed young friend, now connected
with the house Of +. d. Tanning, Charles
ton, So. Ca, where merchants from the in.
terror will find larger and better assortment
of hats and caps, and greater inducements to
purchase than at any establishment in the
city. But to return to the points 1t any
wonder that we miss and mourn for those
scissorsl and If our readers knew how large.
" they had been indebted to them for the
many good things they have weekly found in
tho columns of the post" they would mourn
and sympathise with us. As the old gentle
man said when he buried his "better half"
we have lost geese, and we have lost ducks,
and we have lost turkeys, but we have never
met with anything that affected us so much
as this. And we hope the gentleman who
thoughtlessly carried them of, will, at no dis
tant day, be seized with another fit Of alb
attraction and just as thoughtlessly bring them
back again. Their re-appearanco upon our
table would be as welcome to the sight as a
bottle of Otard to the thirsty gaze of Maino
Liquor Law man.
