The Origin of the Curtsy.

The same may he said, too, Of the curisy
or courtesy as it is otherwise written. It's
derivation from oourfaisic, courteousncss, that
is behavior like that at court, at once shows
tha, il was primarily the reverence paid to a
monarch. And il we call TO mind that fall
ING upon the knees, or upon ono knee, has
becn common obeisanco ofsubJoc TO rulers
and is form still gone through to our own
Queen at every presentation, we may inier'
what the character ofthc curtsy itself suggests
that II is an abridged act of kneelrg. Ne the
word has been contracted from c0uria"ie IN
10 curtsy. so the motion has been contracted
from placing Of the knee On the floor to
lowering or,hc knee towards the floor. More
over, when we complIe the curisy ol a lady
with the awkward one peasant girl makes
which, if continued, would bring her down on
hath knees. we may seo in this lasi'a rem
nant, Of that greater reverence required o.
sorfs.
Aud whea, from considering tho simple
kneelng ofthe West, still represented by the
eurisy, we pass eastward, and note the atil'
,udc Of the Mahomcjan worshiPPor, who not
only knecls, but bovs his head to the ground
we may infer that the curtsy also is an evan
esccnt form Of the aboriginal Prosira'Ion' 10
further evidence Of this 1t may DO remarked
,ha, there has bu, recently disappeared from
the salutations Of men an action having the
same proximatc derivation with the enr'sy
Tha, backward step Of the foot with which
the conventional slage-sailOr accompanies his
bow. movement which prevailed generally
in past generations, when ga bow and

memory of living persons, was made by boys

ANECDOTES or RAyESs. Tho following
account ola ravens preference for canine
companion is given in tie Saturday Maga-
Eine
The latter was a large otter dog, and was
kept chained up In the ,lable'yaTd, where tho
raven began by occasionally snatehine NOR
sci from the dogs feeding pan, before be had
finished his meal. Is this was no, resented,
the raven attended at meal times. and occa-
,iouany took away sclap in his beak, be-

Al other times, ho bid the morsal under a
stone, beyond the length Of his chain, aud
then, with a cunning look, mounted on the
dog 3 head. lie, however, always ended by
giving the dog the largest portion, Of tho
scrap thus played with. The life Of this IA.
ven was saved by the dog, who seeing the
poor bird nearly drowned in tub Of water,
dragged his heavy kennel iill he could put
hs head over the iub, when he took the ra-
ven up in his mouth and laid him gently uPos
the ground, where he room recovered.
One DAY a person, travelling through the
forest to Winchester, was much surprised at
hearing the following exclamation "Fair
play, gentlemen fair play! For Gods sake,
rcnrlemcu, fair play" The traveller looking
round to discover whence the voice came, to
hi, great as,onishmeni beheld no human being
near But hearing tie cry Of "Fair play"
repeated, he thought it mus, proceed from
some creature IN distress. lie Immediately
rushed intn that part Of the forest whence tho
cries camg, when to hi, astonishmen,, he be.
held two ravens combating third with great
fury while the sufferer, which proved to be =
tame ono belonging to a gentleman in the
ncighborhood, kept loudly yocifcraling "Fair

he instantly rescued the oppressed bird.

ger, you contain within yourselves the ele-

ligion is based upon the principles Of eter-
ral truth it will stand, for he whom you de-
clare to be your "living head" has said that
"the gates Of He'll shall not prevail against
his church." Just look for one moment at
the consistency of the thing, secret organ
ization Of prOtestants to put down secret
organization of Catholics! For the last two
years you have been urging upon our govern
ment the necessity of taking active meas
ures to ensure free protestant worship IN Rome,
at the same time you are secretly laying your
plans to deprive the catholic of his civil and
religious right in this country. And what !
ask is the necessity for all this! il you will
take the trouble to examine the census re-
ports for the last twenty years you will find
that the catholic population is about one
in seven andi that it does not keep pace
with our rapid increase Of professionalism.
But this cry against catholicism is all
bumbug. 1t is TO effect certain political ends.
Every Wing in this town is in it, and the
whole scheme is contained in a nutshell
The Wing party were about to become ex-
tinct, something must be done. The leaders
got together and agreed upon this plan Of
religious persecution. They have rode every
hobby from national Bank dowu to cider
barrel, and now they expect to ride into pow
er on the back of catholic Priest. "Veri.

RAVENN A, OHIO:
WEDNESDAY, Dee. rs. 1854,
The Presidents Message.

The Presidents Message will be found in
to-day's paper. 1t is an able document and
will pay for careful perusal. For strength,
clearness, and sound argument, it will conf
pare well with any document of the kind ev-
er presented to the consideration of Con-
gress. The subjects of home and foreign
policy, are of deep interest to American cit
izens, and the recommendations made in ref
erence to legislative action thereto, will we
think, meet the cordial approval of the peo-
pie throughout the country.
At the present time, when wars are raging
in the old world, and instructions and pi-
raticul excursions are SO frequently set on
foot in the new, it requires on the part OF
the Chief Executive Of our Government, a
steady nerve and mistaken determination to
Guide and control our affairs so as to preserve
the integrity of the nation, and yet keep on
friendly terms with all foreigs powers. Ma
ny difficult ond embarrassing questions OF in.
ternational policy, have been presented
within the past year. All Of these, have
been settled upon the broad principles of Ma
tonal Justice; and so long as these are ad'
hered to, there is but little danger of embar.
rassment from ''entangling alliances.
by reference 10 the message it will be
seen that the financial affairs o. the govern
ment, are in aprosperous condition. Ore'
hrenty-trro million dollars Of the public deb
has been paid off ,rittin the gear, and the a
mount remaining in the Treasury unerpend
ed, after paying all ordinary and cxtraordna
nv expenses of the government is more thai
twenty millions. The revenue and expens
es of the government forthe last year are il

Know-Noshimgs VS.. Catholics.

MEssRs. EDITORS -
AS there is still guaranteed to us the free
dom of speech and of the press it may not
be amiss to note some of the peculiarities Of
the party called Know-Nothings, as at pres
ent organized among us. That there is such
an organization in this place is evident. The
animal can be seen with the naked eye,
though like mushroom it is creature Of
the night. The organization in this place
was effected by certain leaders of the Free
soil party who reside in Ravenna, under the
plea ofno party,as they did not wish to have
politics enter into their creed. To protect the
American interest and the protestant relig-
ion against foreign influence and catholic
ism, vas to be the work of these new re-
formers. The Methodist denomination with
majority of the others Congregational and
Bsptist,) was first to embrace this new
doctrine.
This was an appeal 70 them to come up to
the work and defend their religion; the cath
olics were about taking the reins of gov
ernment into their own hands, and nothing
could save the country but society of Know
Nothings in Charlestown.
Now Congress ought to make liberal ap-
preparations for the erection of Monument
to perpetuate the memory of these men,
who have sacrificed their political lives to
protect the protestant religion, and partcu-
larly, those who acted as musicians for they
have some excellent whistlers among them;
and for several months before election in
certain localities they might be heard calling
this little .Gock together resembling party
of boys in the vicinity of Watermelon
patch. "Now by st. Paul the work goes
bravely on!''-no appropriation is necessary
for light, no splendid Hall with expensive
furniture and brilliant chandeliers are neces
sary to execute the work of this no party
organization, but in Barn some half Q
mile from any dwelling, this no party bant
