Father Ritchie.

The following comments of an obituary
notice of father TnoMAs RrcnIE, for so
many years editor Of the Richmond va
Enquirer, and literally at tue head of the
Washington nioa during the adtninistra-
ton Of Mr. PofR, we earnestly commend
to the consideration Of all who properly
appreciate the position Of au editor p,Mer
any circumstances (: Il ;,u.F aI.. .l.r.r ..
4" The secret Of his professional SUCCESS
was the fact that he would not serve poll.
ticlans; but made them only obey him.
He taught lesson in Virginia and to his
generation which will not be lost upon
ours; that editors need not be the tools
and minions Of politicians, the servants Of
servants, the spaniels Of Adventures. He
taught that politicians were not patrons
nor he beneficiary; but that as they were
but insects of an hour, which breath Of
popular disfavor might annihilate in mo
ment he was the 4Eolus who ruled and d.
rected the Winds He taught that edito-
rial position was superior in dignity to Off
cial place, whilst its honors were more per-
manent, aud its tests Of talents, manliness
and worth far Severer 1t must be con-
fessed that he manifested these truihs in
the arena of politics only. 1t remains for
those who succeed him to make them mani
fest in all the departments Of Intellectual
effort. n a.'.H'.f. eii .f.
1t is characteristic Of the age that lit.
crature is no longer the bantllng and pen
sioner of Nobility, sitting beside the buf-
loon at the table of Wealth aud Title; but
has become itself a power in the State,
clothed with the authority and speaking
the omnipotent voice of the great people.
Mr.. Rtchic made the press the ruliag
power in Virginia politics. lie was bnt
Il pioneer in the work Of its disenthralment
and elevation The press is rapidly be-
coming the controlling power in the great
affairs of the country, and Of the world.--
IL true to itself, its authority will soon be
acknowledged supreme and universal. To
achieve this destiny, however, it must
cease to look ont of itself and beyond its
own sphere for honor, for fame, or for
cmolument. 1t must not use its places as
a steppng.stone to high preferment; nor
thus acknOSl ledge that there are positions
more elevated, honors more desirable, or
distinctions more worthy Of aspiration than
itself affords. 1t must nor debaSe itself by
+consenting to be pdtrORised by even the
most virtu0us and exalted, much less by
the aspiring or vicious. The Press should
be herself the patron Of genius and merit,

stances of prosperity or adversity she may

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1854-07-12
The Nice Young Woman.

The nice young woman goes to bed
when other people are getting up, doates
on Don Juan, and thinks she must have
written Walkers dictionary; copies all the
faults and none Of the virtues OF cultivated
growth, and thinks it strange that eggs
don't break in falling from the trees; GOV.
ers the less OF her piano, and shuts the
moon out OF her bedroom because there is
a man in it; prides herself upon delicate
health; and always gets up a nervous Fl,
when there is handsome fellow near who
understands her case; adores Italian mu.
sic, and never could live through an Eng
lish opera; calls mamma sour cook -
and wonders whom her dirty little brothers
belong to; falls desperately in love with a
pair of incipient moustaches; gets up a
Irritation with its boon companion. splits
the difference by romantically eloping with
the bosom friend of both parties, and
comes to her senses some fine morning,
by finding herself deserted, her pockets
empty, and long life of wearisome labor
staring her in the face! Who shall say
this is not the fate of many full blooded
nice young woman?

name!
Soliloquizing, l reached my fathers
dwelling. entered the kitchen door,
softly and slyly. All the lights were ex-

towards the parlor. How nice, thought /,
that all have gone to bed. Not one soul
up to break on the heaven of my feelings.
I opened very softly the parIor door.
Thunder and earthquakes! there sat my
father! He was doing in the arm chair,
but my entrance aroused him.
"This is pretty doings for boy. What
on earth have you been doing? Tell me,
sir, whsre have you been so late?"
"Only waiting upon the ladies homo
from the party, SIR"
'Ladles!" he exclaimed with sneer.
How long since they have learned to 20
alone and left off their sucking bottles and
dolls? Mere children. Go to bed, sir.
And when you can feel your chin to be
rough. you may consider yourself capa-
BILE of gallanting the ladies', and perhaps
OF feeling preference for one among their
number. At present, you are about as fis
for beau, as colt at year old is for

The Sheriff proceeds to the fatal spot.
The agitated crowd follows. They reach

dull heavy sound falls upon the air, and
the stiffness of death comes over the as.
