DOUGLAS AND CLAY.-It seems that
Senator Douglas, together with other leading
men, who were opponents Of Henry Clay dur
ing his lifetime, have been shedding crocodile
tears over his memory at late festival in
Virginia Concerning Mr.. / ouglass part in
the matter, the n. y. Courier d E"qr'rr,
remarks AZ follows:
Had that hero been a living man in 1854
and in the Senate of the United States, Stcph
en- A. Douglas would as soon have leaped into
the Jaws of destruction as have faced II. Clay
with his proposition to make the eighth section
of the act preparatory TO the admission of
Missouri into the Union "inoperative and void"
He would never have done it. 1t would not
have been in the power of party 10 force him
or to bride him to do it. To have walked into
the Senate with that Nebraska Bill in his poe
ket, would have made him trcmble like n sick
girl To have risen in his seat and presented
that bill to the Senate, would have been utterly
out Of his power. His heart his head, his
tongue and his legs would have all failed him.
1t only when the great Paciticaor
cold and stark in the grave, that the Agitaior
dared to raise his front and do an act which
should again unloose the ferceness of sectional

SOUTHERN SLAVERY

Mr. john Y. SMITH, long connected with the
press of this State, gentleman of an observing
habit of mind and sound discrimination, has
been spending the past winter in fhe interior of
South Carolina. In letter, which appeared in
the Argus, he gives some of the social condition
Of the people, and speaks of the bitter fruits of
their system of human servitude, as follows:
have ceased to wonder that few thousand
slave holders control the destinies of the whole
South. The slave holding population are
sunk in the grossest ignorance, and are about as
much sndr tire fear and control Of the higher cldss
as tie slaycs hen,selucs
have seen but little of slavery and that in
its mildest form, suppose. But | have seen
enough to make me heartily pity its victims on
both sides-the master and the slave. 1t Is a
degrading, demoralizing, stultifying and impov-
erishng system, and they know it not. and are
determined not to know it. The public prints
give them no light, and mo,ad be naoJ6ed filthy
did OF the debates in Congress even, this
subject, their prints give them but side. Of
the creative energies of free labor, they know
nothing. They never compute the difference
between system where every man works.
and works for himself, and another where one
half of the population idle,.and the other
half doles out Il reluctant service to others, in
which they feel no personal interest And yet
two such systems exist, north and south and
are working out their results. They have no
conception of the rapid strides of the North in
all the elements of greatness, and the rates OF
which they are falling into comparative insg-
nifcance. a few Of their public men begin to
see II and feel If but what can they do For
freedom slavery they have the black porula-
ton and must keep it, and in either condition,
l pity them from my heart.

o! FOR A LODGE.

Oh for lodge in some secure retreat
here mortal footsteps seldom find a way,
Within vale where friend with friend could meet,
And human weakness never goes ustray.
Where none are false, no heart is made to bleed,
No bl ghting sorrow blauch the youthful cheek,
Whert all from envy, hate, and malice freed,
Live on, aud on, and age still leave no trace.
Within that spot I'd moor my willing bark,
Where heart meet hearts and pride no envy
brings,
And fair faced friendship hides no malice dark,
And ear delights fro,n truths pure fountain
springs.
Ard there's few I'd choose my home to share,
Well tried and true, who never turned away:
Such are tie tr asures | would cherish there
Safely l d rest and never more to stray.
I've tried the world I know its joys its sorrow,
And what man calls bliss soon turns to pain
The little joy that we from youth would borrow,
Some disappointment marks with grief again.
And still my heart goes out in search of rest,
That rest which time shall never change or cloy
Like some lost bird I'd fnd The parent nest,
Safely there shell cred, ask no other Joy.
And then thought, where is that blessed place,
Where sin and sorrow never more shall CONT
And tears and mourning leave no more their trace
And perfect bliss shall make one happy home
Yet while mused, my soul the answer gave,
You're seeking her what earth has never Civ
en-;
The rest you'd find lies but beyond the grave,
| And what you ask within the gate of Heaven

A LONG TRAIN OF CARS On Friday,
August |, occurred very interesting Sab
bath School celebration at Morrow, Warren
&C cunty, Ohio. One feature in it was of great
intert st, in connection with railroads. A
train arrived Of thirty-two cars, containing
3 500 persons, mostly children. 1t was a
beautiful sight Owing to curve in the
road we could not see from one end to the
other Of the train and it looked like an end
less train. So carefully was this long train
conducted that it met with not the slightest
accident /; and Of the whole vast assemblage
(probably 6,o00y not single person was in
any way injured. When this is contras.ed
with the frequ mt accidents on other lines. it
speakes in high praise f,r the management OF
the Little Miami.-Railroad Record.

ANAMUsINa INCIDENT The Buffalo Cour-
ier relates an amusing incident in the union
at Syracuse, which afforded good omen as W, Il
as good joke. After the venerable Presi
dent of the Convention of the united Democ-
racy of New York was conducted to his seat,
and had completed his brief and appropriate
address, he attempted to take the chair in
such csses made and provided" but the arms
refused to admit him, to the 40 small amuse-
uent of the bystanders. Col. Grain, how-v-
er nothing discomposed, remarked that the
chairman Of the whole Ccnv, n'ion could not
be expected to squeeze ina Place that had
been filled by the chairmen of a half Con-
vention. A chair of suitable dime nsions was
speedily procured, and the President adjusted
himself as soon as the occasion. the dignity of
the position, and the size of his person would
admit.

THE REALTY OF GOODNESS.

The Crayon ,ells the following beautiful
Eastern story:
Hassan, the wood cutter, from morn till night,
Toiled at his heavy task among the trees
W lth willing hand and with a heart upright,
Three times day he prayed upon his knees.
At last long years of work had worn his strength ;
His arm no more could level hearty blows;
And scarcely would his toll, at greatest length,
Supply the simple wants the poor man knows,
Still he worked cheerful on, with humble trust,
That for his needs the Lord would yet PROVIDE
One day he prayed 80 Prophet Most just
Who hold st the highest place by Alshs side
.'Thy servant now is poor, and weak, and old,
And STILL il Allah Bids, will labor on;
But IL the prayer be right, and not too bold,
Do thou pray for him that his task be done.
"P Pray the Most Wise. that to single day,
The allotted earnings of my life he sent;
Then let my breath pass peacefully away,
And in abundance let my labors end
That night the wood cutter in slunber lay,
When to his sleeping ey es n vision came
The Prophet form. shining with light like day
The Prophets voice addressed him by his name
"Hassan. thy prayer is heard life's heightened
The Almighty crowds into a single day =
To morrow's sunset ends thy cares and fears
Tomorrow brings thy ages destined pay"
With mornings dawn, the old nan grateful wakes,
And, duly turning westward, kneels in praise.
As his prayer. carpet from the ground he takes,
heap Of money meets his startled gaze
The Almighty's gift he knows. To-day, my

FASHION.

arbitrary mistress, always changing and never

Tyranny that would co credit TO the barbaT-
isns Of Pagan age. 4 book in these fash

Consequently, in every magazine and period

must give place TO that which will best please

CURIOUS CASE.

The Chicago papers give singular case
originating in that city. A Miss Philips mis-
sed dlamand cross pin worth $500, and
the jewellers and police were put upon the
watch to detect the thief A few days since
blsckleg tTought the cross 10 jewelry es-
tsblishment desiring to know the value, and
then departed and joined comrades, who
passed the trinket from hand to hand. The
jeweler caused the arrest of the party and
found the cross among them. A Chicago
paper gives the result Of the examination as
follows:
The men arrested for having the diamond
pin in possession were examined again yes
terday morning and discharged. The case
was interesting and assembled great crowd
around the Police Court room. Without GO
ing into all the detail, it is enough to say
that Miss Phillips testified that the pin was
her property, but that her brother had per.
mission to take it and use it whenever he
pleased and had free access to her room.
1tappesred moreover, that her brother had
sold the pin to Aspenhsll for fancy horse.
giving note of S95 in addition, that As.
pnhall had parted with it to the others for
consideration or without. The great strife
no "a appears to be for the possession of the
pin. Ii Col. Phillips and daughter estab.
lish claim to it, the son and brother must
be held to answer charge of larceny if they
abandon the claim to it to save him, it be-
comes the property of the gamblers. 1t is
said to be worth $500.
