BEAUTIFUL PHENomENoN.-Th

BEAUTIFUL PHENoMENoN.--The
local Scribina of the True Delta, has
had squirt at things beyond through
the blanket Of the deep-the clouds
that shut ont from mortal eye better
world. Listen to him:
While sitting in the office of the
Secretary of the Board Of Aldermen,
last evening, about halfpast six o'clock
waiting, for the assemblage of the
"Conscript Fathers Of the city, gazing
with delight upon the glorious sunset,
as its gorgeous and brilliant glories
were about to fade into that azure
darkness which heralds the coming
night in the tropics we observed a
curious phenomenon, and, as it appear
ed to us, one Of the most sublime
spectacles we have ever witnessed.
Between two black lines in the gol-
den clouds-li lines which seems to sepa-
rate the departing day from the com
ing nj ght--we saw stream Of liquid
fire, fall gradually from the Heavens,
1t seemed as though it were poured
out Of vase by some unseen cheru
bin, upon some favored spot Of earth,
1t looked, even amid that golden sun
set, as though the mission Of that un-
seen angel must have been to pour
this lambent offering upon some lone
grave in the wilderness, in which slept
far, away from kindred spirit" the
young soldier, the youthful poet, or
probably, him whose earthly aspira-
tons, from his youth upwards, were
always turned Heavenward.
Whatever the object, it was brill
liant sight, and one we shall remember
as long as memory serves US. Not
all the pyrotecbuic displays put to-
gether, which we have ever witnessed,
could equal this waking vision. 1t
may have been freak of the "lightn-
ing spirit" Well, if so, it was one of
such surprising beauty and brilIiancy
that we are inclined to fear 1--WE shall
never look upon its like again no,
even in that land of dreams where the
fancy of the poet loves to revel.

UNAsKED SYMPATHY.--Since the
impression went abroad, that The
Wing party is dead, it is marvellous
to see and feel, the amount of cheap
sympathy, that has been gotten up,
for it. 1t has been daily pronounced
a noble institution = "a just and
honorable party CT pure men," with
holy and trustworthy aims and objects.
What panegyrics have been sung, on
ali manner of wind and string instru-
ments to the "old line Wings" for
no other reason that we can see, than
that they are dead now and there is
no fear of them, When it is said for
the Wing party, that it has served as
kind Of eompensating balance to the
democratic party-aoting as check
on the democratic idea, which has
ever tendency downwards to mob
ocracy-all is said for the ancient
Wings that can be. They never orr
ginated any great principle, which
stands on the page Of history to their
credit On the contrary, all the darl
ing objects Of the party, have proved
fallacious chimeras. Then why the
desire on the part Of chess players,
to throw around Whiggery, charm
it never had Why endeavour to
make it sacred in memory by calling
it all manner Of endearing terms p
For the simple reason, that, that por-
ton Of the democratic party, which
does not rally under the principles Of
the American Democrat, feel that
they have a more formidable foe to
contend with, in the American party,
for the spoils of Office and place.

A ToUcHlNe Dirty IN PRosE.-
When Seth got home from mackercl.
ing, he sought his Sarah Ann, and
found that she, the heartless one, had
got another man. And then most
awful tight he got, and SO he went
away, and bound himself to go and
cut, live oak in Florida. He pinned
upon the live oak lands be murmur-
ed in the glades bis axe grew heavy
in his hands, all in the wild wood
shades. Mosquitoes bit him every
where, no comfort did be get; ah !!
how terribly he'd swear whenever he'd
get bit. At last desparing Of relief,
and wishing himself dead, he went
into the woods piece and chopped off
his head. Thus died poor Seth.
