IrCu FOR LETTER WMrNG.--lt is deploroblc
that high officers of State should forget the dig
nifty of place and descend to the little appliances
OF elcctionccring. Not that Office incumbcncy
should disiranchise or deprive any citizen of the
rights of unrestroned speech; but decent respect
for position should admonsh an important official
of the impropriety of mcddling in elections The
people have elected him, and they should be per
mitted to elect others without his Interference or
advice. This is suggested from reading Gov.
Weller's letter extraordinary to the people of
Amudor. lie was asked to speak to them but
declined, writing letter instead. Wellcrs adj
ministraton, we think, has been almost blameless;
we hope to see him leave the Office with honor
undiminished by pNrticpotions in the clap trap
pings of small party machinery. lie is the Gov
crnor of the people, not of faction, and with the
freedom and respect of enc of the people, we
herein admonish him that In one particular he
has sunk below the horizon of official dignity,

The WIND is blowing round the house,
with moan and plaintive sigh ;-ah then
it howled like stricken beast or man
afraid todie; a thousand tempests seem
to swell it's voice of terror now; the very
hills are moved, and all their tree-crown-
ed SUBMITS bow. The Keeling pines
from upper air give forth sullen roar,
like ocean at the Southern cape or surf
on rocky shore they sound the monody
eterne that ever, as we stand upon the
yellow beach, we hear the sea sing to the
land. But fixed and still the sky uplifts
its azure dome in space; the heavens
bear no mark of storm or cloud upon
their face; with steadfast look of stony
Sphinx they chill us into awe-all faith
omless and calm as when the first lone
man they saw. With kindling, intel
lectual eyes thestarry hosts look forth;
they catch no whisper Of the wind that's
blowing from the North. Combustion
final might enwrap and whelm the earth
from sight-the stars would still shine
on as now, nor miss our planets light.
How silently our lives move on, while
round us fercely rave the wild rebellious
elements that cease but in the grave
How calm port the soul maintains |!
But never may she scan the deep eng
ma man is now and ever was to man.
This mystery Of being lifts its head above
the sands, and of the passing multitudes
an answer true demands; but aye the
living tide rolls on-in silence most pro-
found, and aye that stony gaze is fixed
upon the desert round.

The MAN WHO Cor ONE VoTE.-
The Springfield { Mass. Republican tells
an amusing story about hard-headed
and lion-hearted Democrat of the ambi-
tioas town of Westfeld. He had thought
for several years that it was about his
turn to go to the Legislature, and had
said as much, but was put off from year
to year Under various pretenses and
promises of "ne&t time" Finally, he
claimed that the "next time" should
be now, and his friends agreed that he
should enter upon his reward at the
very next election. Caucus came, and
he and they were on hand armed with
ballots to secure his nomination. The
voting closed, the hat was turned, the
ballots counted, and our hero had one
vote! One by one his faithful friends
approached to console him, and assure
him OF metr fidelity. Each claimed to
have been true, to have cast the solitary
vote, and expressed sorrow and indig-
nation at the treason of all the others.
Our disappointed aspirant received their
assurances in proud silence till some do
zen had secretly told him the same sto-
ry; then, gathering them all about him,
he rehearsed the facts in strain of lofty
and pungent Anglo-Saxon for which our
types are untitled and our dashes too
scant, closing up with the declaration
that not one of them had told the truth,
that they were all pack Of double D
liars, for he put that vote in himself!
The ancient confidence among the West
field Democrats has never been restored
to this day. %

The SECRET OF TRUE BRAtrY.-,
Did you ever attempt to analyze tho
merely physical beauty of face that
had seemed to you all sweetness, and
for the first time realize that every fea.
ture was imperfect, and to stranger,
when in repose, might even be deemed
repulsive? And then, suddenly, the
old smile would RETURN CLEAN Of
sunlight from the spirit within-which;
with mysterious necromancy, would
transform the dull countenance into q
radiant transparency, and you compre-
hended, at once, that the secret of its
attraction was the light of a beautiful soul.
Yes! those eyes that look kindly into our
own, and lips that speak gentle words
are those that have power to bind our
hearts with an enduring charm. A
pure, bright spirit is worth more than
all the cosmetics in the world to con-
tribute to true beauty; and neither
rouge nor meen.f itn can paint on the
cheek a sweet, intelligent smile.-K ekd

The BALLOON RACE was something
" new under the sum-" and is worth a
brief mention. The Cincinnati papers
of recent dates describe the ascent of
three balloons at one time from that
place. One gentleman who "went UP

trip-how that sounds land the other
two, Professors Steiner and GODDARD,
were rivals and took sail through
space to test one another's skill. They
shot up from earth in beautiful style,
and when about five thousand feet high
their inflated air-ships came into COLI
sion. Just before this the rivals had
courteously drunk one another's and
the ladies' healths in sparkling Catawba,
winding up with a hip-hip-hurrah !! At
ter the collision they were not again
within speaking distance. The two bal
looms were in the air about six hours,
travelled some 230 miles in that time,
rose to the height of $4,000 feet, came
down safely, and the adventurous ra-
GERS met one another on the railroad cars
fifteen or twenty miles from Sandusky.
There was no wager, but as Steiner
made the greatest distance he was de-
clared the victor, according to agree
ment,

AMERICAN TRAvELERs-are thus

entitled "Travel during the Last Half

be the American author; Who has adopt
ed travel, and the description Of it, as
profession. These men make point of
going where few or none have gone be-
fore; and they are therefore our earliest
informants of Russian settlements, and
detectors of the tricks in Russian map

exemplify some of the gains for which
we are indebted to travel id the nine-
teenth century The best travellers Of
this class that our age supplies are the
Americans. Stephens was a capital
specimen, uniting courage, diligence,
and perseverance as an explorer, to the
quick and humorous observation, the
unfagging spirits, and admirable narfas 4
tive style which are the appropriate 40,
complishments of his class. Herman
Melville is of lower order, but infinite

what we should hear from nobody else.
The cursory traveller, par ercellence, at 5
present, is Bayard Taylor, who seems to !,
intend to give us the whole world With !
in few years, in his rapid style Of de-
scription. He would come in appropfi
ately at many points of our new annexats
atoms of known territory; and in thiarz
place we may say that his latest work,

cry Of a Lapland winter to perfection.
Those who, like ourselves, have an fnsg
sane fondness for voyages and travelsp
and have therefore devodred almost ey-5 !

imagination by Bayard Taylor's MARIA

domains of the Frostgods, in the sacred
season of wintry silence. He did not
deserve to come back again; but he is
probably by this time somewhere under
