THE DAILY GAZETTE.

Under the head Of ga Nomination
The Right man for the Right Place,
the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer has
the following:
"We nominate Tom Hyer for Con
gress. We are ambitious that the
Fourth District of New York should
be represented more respectfully than
the Fourth Districtsos South Corolina.
1t is not to be endured that such an,
artist as Preston s. Brooks, should be
the champion OF the Congressional
ring. True, he s'travels on his mus
Gle" splendidly. He is a regular
bruiser but he lacks ehivalry. He
takes advantage, When he sails in
he does it like coward. lie is worse
than Yankee Sullivan. Yankee
ungentlemanly as he was, never sail
ed in unless the man was on his feet
and had some notice. The late lam
table Wm. Poole wolld have treated
Preston $. Brooks as a trickish, das
tardly, despicable buIly--a disgrace
to the noble art of seli-defence.-
Brooks must be made to respect the
laws ofthe ring; and Mr.. Hyer is just
the man to accomplish this: He has
a spirit that rises in Indignation a.
gainst the lurking brutality he sees
at Washington. He considers it pure
scoundrelism. Mr.. Hyer is a citizen
who gives nc pledges; but his life
speaks for him. New York may re-
ly upon it, that he would not prove
uniaithtuf toher pugihstic honor
He would vindicate the fair repute of
the ring, and punish Brooks.

SECRETS OF THE PEAR BoG.-Far,
far down in the depths Of the moor
there lies many a secret ofolden time.
Below the grim ghastly surface, below
the waters, below the black remnants
ofceuntless plants, lie the sad memo
rials of ages unknown to the history
of man. Huge trees stand upright,
and their gigantic roots rest upon the
crowns of still olier forest giants. In
the inverted oaks OF Murten Moor, in
Switzerland, many see the famous
oak woods that Charlemagne caused
to be cut down, now more than, Q
thousand years ago. For centuries
the moors have hid in their silent bo.
SONS, the gigantic works of ancient
Rome, and posterity has gazed with
wonder at the mastery roads, and
massive bridges, like those built of
imperishable wood BY Germanicus,
when he passed from Holland into the
valley ofthe Weser. Far, in the deep,
lie buried in the stone, hatchets and
flint arrow heads of Frisians and
Cheruski. BY the side of the copper
kettle and iron helmet of the Roman
soldier. A Phpnican skiffw was found
of late, and alongside of it a boat Ia
den with bricks. The skeletons Of
antediluvian animals rest there peace3
ably by the cerpses of ancient races
with sandals on their feet and the
skins of animals around their naked
bodies. Hundreds of brave English
horsemen. who sought an honorable
death in the battle of Soiway, were
swallowed up horse and man, by the
Unsuitable moor And in years by
gone, a Danish King Harold, called
the Blue Tooth, allured with foul
treachery a fair princess Of Norway,
Gunhildo, to Jutland. She came and
she vanished from the memory ofman.
History had forgotten her, tradition
had ever begun to fade, but the peat
bog opened its long closed lips and
accused, late but loud, the bloody
king Of his wicked deed. The poor
princess was found far below the peat,
strangled and tied TO a post, where
her merciless foe had buried her, as
he thought, forever in the abyss. 1t
is a strange and most melancholy
charm that theselow chambers ofdeath.
have for the careful observer. r.-Eng-

InE RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF THE SEA.
Astronomy is considered the most re-
ligious of all the sciences. 1t is in-
deed much Older study than that Of
the Sea; it requires more of that up
ward look look which is regarded as
the peculiar direction of reverence and
tath-it is more universal in its scope;
its field is less limited. But doubt
after al, whether the armament over
our heads furnishes more religious
suggestion than the outspread world
of waters--this great and wide Sea.
The armament is accessible to but one
OF our senses; while it almost browns
our thoughts in the vagueness of its
immensely. But the Sea, in its shore
less sweep, is but only visible sym
Dol of Intinity. We venture upon it,
and are brought into contact, so to
speak, with the greatness OF God
Nowhere do we SO instantly feel our
own impotence. and the grasp OF his
Omnipotences @ a7s Fl
Walking along our wharyes, or
through our great shipyards, and look
ing up at the mountain walls OF oak
which have been built into some state
ly vessel. where, by the skill of man,
the gradual strength Of a forest has
been condensed and locked together
by bolts Of iron. we feel that this en-.
ormous strength and bulk may bid
defiance to all the energies of the ele
ment upon which is made to hoat,.
And it IS difficult to realize that this
huge mass can be tossed by the great
Sea ike chip-pitched from wave to
wave as If by hands-shaken like
bauble between the water and the sky
But he who has gone down to the sea
in ships, and seen the wonders Of the
Lord in the deep; he who has felt the
vessel that carried his fife, whipped
like a top, swept by the tempest, and
the great waves batteling with thou
sand hammers at every plank and
seam: he, surely, has realized, as no.
where else, the weakness OF man, the
poverty of all his resources, his utter

nent OF water: and, in their elements,
