WINCHESTER:
"BOrn Of Poor but Respectable
Parents"

A biography that does not contain this
hackneyed phrase, or words equivalent
to it, ought TO be welcomed to the shelves
of the humble every where. Insult is in.
suit, whether it be found in books, or is
pronounced by supercilious tongue
whether tricked out with all the specious
gloss of art, or uttered in the curt Ian.
cuage of studied abuse, and it it insult.
inc to be told every day that a man may
be born Of poor but respectable parents.
The whole thing proceeds upon an as
sumption that is false in fact, illogical in
argument, injurious in mopls, and bad
in taste. 1t is false in fact, because the
poor do not lack respectability; in logic,
because there is no necessary connection
between humble circumstances and the
want of reputation; and it is bad in NOR
ais, because it tends to degrade its sub.
ects in their own estimation. This will
be made palmer, if the word "poor"
should be struck out and the word erich"
substituted, so that it might be said of
some one, che was born Of rich but re.
spectacle parents" This may sound
odd at first, but it is on account Of the
novelty Of the announcement, not be.
cause il contains less truth than the orig.
inal phrase. As much respectabiity ex'
lists among the poor as among the rich.
The former far outnumber the latter, and
therefore it should not create surprise that
there should be frequent violations of the
rule Of right among them. According
to the way in which the world goes, it is
misfortune to be poor; and it is for this
very reason that writer's of biography
ought to- be careful how they express
themselves. When the class Of persons
whom this language affects, can read it
without indignation, there is certainly
something wrong in the tone of the pub
lie sentiment.

Fall Fights.

We have actually come to the conclu.
sion that there are such things as animal
"Fall and Spring Fights" which com.
mence and terminate with these seasons.
The Spring in Winchester was not char,
acterizcd by many of such occurrences,
and in fact, our town has been in a state
of commendable quietude for some time,
until the advent Of the present month.
But the fights have now opened in a 60
ahead style. Several bave occurred, and
we reluctantly predict several more like
occurrences before cold weather sets in.
But we do not feel disposed, like most
newspapers, to make light Of things Of
this kind, or desire them in order to ar.
ford subject on which TO write a local
item. No; we regret to see our citizens
wrangling, especially those whom we re,
gard as gentlemen, and whose citizen
ship we consider as promotive of the
town or county's prosperity. Were quar-.
rels, as is often the case, confined alone
to the devotees of Bacchus, then would
we be more Indifferent, but it too often
happens that the combatants are under
influence, not of liquor, but unrestrained
passion, which, when excited seems to
become reckless and unreasonable. In
der this state of things, we care not how
long the Fall Fights may remain in StatW
quo.

N15a 1t may be observed, perhaps
without exception, that none are so in.
dustrious to detect wickedneSs, or so rea.
dy to impute it, as they whose crimes are
apparent and confessed. They envy an
unblcmishcd reputation, and what they
envy they are busy TO destroy: they are
unwilling 10 suppose themselves mcaner
and more corrupt thon others; and there.
fore willingly pull down from their elc.
vatons those with whom they cannot
rise to an equality. No man was ever
yet wicked without secret dscontent-,
and, according to the different degrees oi
remaining virtue, or uneXtinguished rea,
son, he either ondeavors to reform him
self or corrupt others; either to regain
the station which he has quilted, or pre-.
vail on others to initiate his detection.

one TO 1--we IN sadness and gloom. That
horid state Of feelings known by the ia.
milar name, "bIues," should at all times,
and in all circumstances, be avoided A
good writer hath truly said
"The blight, the droary darkness and
dulIness, is all in ourselves. The blank
amid the full universe, is in our hearts,
It they are filled with goodness, we will
find the world good. For, if light is
kindled within us, the world without will
shine brightly; but if the light that should
be in us is darkness, how great is that
darkness"
When the light OF faith and trust in
God burns constantly within our breasts,
it will make our pathway Of life shine
brighter and brighter until "the approach
Of the perfect day. This light should
always have an abiding place upon the
tablets Of our hearts. Then clouds and
shadows would have but little tendency
to sadden the noble affections Of our ma.
tune.
The armament may darken, the thun.
dcrs roll, and the tempest gather if We
have this ho7y light, we fear not, 1t IS
desirable for the soul TO en- Joy light at all
times. But the shadows that pass over
the face Of nature render her the more
inviting and lovely after they disappear
We are forcibly struck with the con.
trast of these changes, and thus their
beauty and utility are rendered more i'm.
posing From black clouds as well as
bright ones, from winter as well as sum.
mer, from shower as well as sunshine, we
can obtain many interesting items, and
derive many benefits. The truth Of this
cannot be questioned in the natural
world. Still, in the history Of mind, !
do not think there should be dark and

10 speak again oI these changes in
our feelings, the poet would perhaps tell
us that "the great harp of nature" has
n2tes that express sadness-has keys
suited to minor strains only, and that it
also has tones OF Joy and triumph. Wien
the first are struck, the minor chords OF
the human soul are in unison, and sad
