BASHFUL MEN.

We never yet saw a genuinely bash
full man who was not the soul of honor.
Though such may blush and stammer,
and shrug their shoulders awkwardly,
unable to throw forth with ease the
thoughts that they would express, yet
commend them to US for friends.
There are fine touches in their char
acters that time will mellow and bring
out; perceptions as delicate as the faint
es. tint is to the unsolded rose; and their
thoughts are none the less refined and
beautiful that they do not flow with the
impetuosity of the shallow streamlet.
We are astonished that such men are
NOT appreciated, that ladies with really
good hearts and cultivated intellects will
reward the gallant Sir Mustachio Brain
less with sr:iles and attention, because
he can fold shawl gracefully and ban
dy compliments with Partisan elegance,
while they will not condescend to look
upon a worlhier man who feels for them
reverence SO great that his every mute
glance is worship.
Ladies. word in your ear. Have you
lovers, and would you possess a worthy
husband? Choose him whose delicacy
ofdeportment, whose sense of your worth
leads him to stand aloof while other
crowd around you. If he bushes, STAN.
mers at your approach, consider them
as SO many signs of his exalted opinion
of your sex. If he is retiring and mod
est, let not thousand fortunes weigh
him down in the balance, for, depend
upon it. with him your life will be hap
pier with poverty than with many anolh-
er surrounded by the splenior of Pala
ces.- OEve Branch.

The total cost of the furs imported
this year into the country was SO. $685.
O00-more by some S4O0,O 900 than last
year. Many of those furs are the skins
of American animals, killed here, sent
TO Germany and sold at the immense
annual sales held at Frankfort. They
are thus distributed through France,
Prussia, Germany and England. where
they are dressed, and returned to this
couptry-but in such shape that their
original owners certainly would not know
them, were they alive. The furs re-
ceive, in addition, very fanciful names
during their sojourn in Europe; Thus
the Common Grey Fox becomes "Silver
Fox" The hide of the tortoise shell
grimalkin becomes transformed into
Golden Coney." Prairie Wolf gets
transformed into "Siberian Bear
Lynx becomes real ''Russian Martin, 4"
&C., &c. The tricks in the fur trade
are perhaps as extensive as in any other;
for example, almost any purchasing a
Lynx m1ff would have nothing but a
natural colored black one; she would
not have it dyed at all; now, when it is
considered that black Lynx is perhaps
a greater curiosity than "white crow, -
it would strike one at once that the deal
er must be ''selling" his customers as
well as Lis merchandise, when he is dis
posing of Natural Black Lynx muiEs.'.

THE PASS OF DEATH.

It was narrow pass,
watered with human tears,
For death hls kept the outer gate
Almost six thousand years,
And the ceaseless tread OF a worlds feet
Was ever in my ears
Thronging, iOstling. hurrying by,
As II they we're only born to die.
stately king drew near,
This narrow pass to tread,
Around him hung gorgeous robe,
And crown on his head;
But Death, with look OF withering seornr
Arrested him and said
ain humber dress must the king draw near,
For the crown and the purple are useless here"
Next came a man of wealth,
And his eye was proud and bold,
And he bore in his hand lengthy scroll,
Telling of sums untold
But Death, who careth not for rank,
careth as little for gold
-..Here that scroll 1 cannot allow.
For the gold of the richest is POWerless now"
Another followed fast,
And a book was in his hand,
Filled with the flashes Of burning thought
That are known in many land;
But the child Of genius quailed TO hear
Deaths pitiless demand
"Here that book cannot enter with thee,
For the bright aashe of genius is nothing to me-"
Next came maiden fair,
With that eye so deeply bright,
That stirs within your strange sweet care,
Should you meet on a summer night;
n. r..,h a., the rsntla maid passed THROUGH,
snatched away its light
"Beauty is power in the world" he saith,
..Bat what can it do in the pass of Death 7''
A youth cfsickly nien
Followed in thoughtful mood,
Whose heart was fIle1 with love to God
And the early brotherhood;
Death felt he could not quench the heart
That lived for others good

TALEIBEARING.

Never repeat story, unless you are
certain it is correct, and even not then
unless something is to be gained. either
of interest to yourself, or for the good Of
the person concerned. Tattling is amean
and wicked practice, and he who indul-
ges in it, grows more fOhd of it in pro
portion as he is successful. Ifyou have
no good to say of your neighbor, never
reproach his character By telling that
which is false. He who tells you the
faults of others, intends to tell others of
your faults, and so the dish of news is
handed from one to another, until the tale
becomes enormous. ga story never
loses anything" is wisely remarked; but
on the contrary, gains in proportion as it
is repeated by those who have not very
strict regard for truth. Truly, 'the

Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1856-10-16
For the Republican.
SECTIONALlSN.

Democrats charge the Republican par
~ with being sectional party, and why?
Because they say that the slave holding
States, o: the most of them. were not
represented in tho Republican Nitional
Convention. Well. were the whole pop
ula,ion OF the south represented in the
Democratic National Convention?-
Throwing the blacks inside, were the
whole rhite population Of the south rep
resented? Did a single non Shareholder
from that quarter have a seat in the Con
vention7 | have no idea that this was
the case. Southern delegates to the Dem.
ocro,ic National Convention. were most
likely shareholders TO a man; who of
Course represented their own class Of
$50. GOO persons, while they did not core
straw for the interests Of the 5000, 900
Of whites among them, who ic not own
property in human beings.
But why is it that the operations Of
the RrPub'ican party are confined almost
exclusively to the Free States? Because
the freedom Of speech. and the press is
not s!owed in the South. In most OF
the slave States a person cannot make
Fremont speech without periling his life.
There is more liberty in Turkey. or Aus
lria, or Russia. than there is in the south
ern part Of our confederacy. No despo
tism can be found upon the face of the
globe, so itnrld CO BILE. SO relentless. and
seul crushing, as American Slavery. Ii
seeks to surround the system with a wall
Of iron. and shut out every thing iha,
can throw the least gleam of light upon
il. And yet these persons who nre la
boring 50 hard 10 crush out every vestige
Of liberty, are good Democrats, and lead
ing Democrats in the transactions of the
party. Some Of thera have lately been
portraying the beauties OF slavery in the
free States, while for northern person
to 60 south ona open his mouth against
slavery is instant destruction. IL this
Democracy? 1t is southern Democracy.
and the boast Of northern Democrats is.
that the principles Of their glorious party
are everywhere the same. Let the free
dom Of speech and of the press be en-
joyed in the south, and the Republican
party would soon be strongly represented
in that quarter. The sympathies OF tens
of thousands. and hundreds of thousands

MR.. FITCH'S SPEECH.

This city has been orce more favored
with the presence of the famous author
Of the Pomeroy letter, and if il was not
for the purpose Of correcting one state.
ment which he made, we would let the
worthy parsonage pass unnoticed.
1t is not a very pleasant task to defend
an individuals pirate or public charac.
ter: but it is full rs pleasant to defend it
as il is to attack it. DIR. Fitch. in the
course OF his speech the other night, at.
tackled Col. Fremont's private and pub
lie character; and il is our intention to
show our readers that DIR. Fitch know.
ingly misrepresented facts. or that james
Buchanan stands perured man before
the American peop.e to-day. And also.
that Willis A. Gormar. a prominen,
Democrat Of Indiana. and now Territorial
Governor Of Minnesota, stands perjured
to the world.
The charge DR.. Fitch preferred against
Col. Fremont was this: Fremont is not
deserving of any honor for his exploits
in California. He never was in hearing
Of the guhs of any attack upon the enc
my; and further. no swindled the Gov.
eTnmont out of large sum OF money"
Now, in order TO see how much none
Col Fremont swindled tho Governmcn nj
out of in California. we will stake the
evidence of James Buchanan, under oa tn.
against that OF Doctor Fitch. II will
be RENE m bered that Col. Fremont was
arrested in London on account OF debts
contracted in California. His defense
was, that these debts were contacted on
account Of the United States Govern
ment. Col. Fremont drew bills of ex.
change TO tho amount OF Sl9. 500 upon
the Secretary of State of the United
States-the liabilities having been in
CURED on Government: account, while
Col Fremont was Governor Of California
The bills fell into the hands of persons
in London. and being protested for non
acceptance. the holders sought to hold
