ENGLAND AND AMERICA IN 1813.-The
followingis from the London Times of March
13, 1913: .....
The public will learn, with sentiments
which We shall not presume to anticipate,
that third British frigate has struck to an
American. This is an occurrence that calls
for serious fection-this and the fact stated
in our papers yesterday that Lloyd's list con-
tains notices of upwards of FIVE hundred
British vessels captured in seven months by
the Americans. Five hundred merchant
men and three frigates. (Aye and three
sloops Of war; :. .ag. ~.
Can the estimate be true :; and can the
English hear them unmoved? Any one who
had predicted such result of an American
war this time last year, would have been treat
ed as a mad man or a traitor. He would
have been told, if his opponent had conde.
scended to argue with him, that long ere
seven months had elapsed the American flag
would be swept from the seas, the contempt
ible Navy Of the United States annihilated,
and their maratime arsenals rendered aheap
of ruins.
Yet down to tiis moment not single A.
merican frigate has struck her flag. They
insult US, and laugh at our want of enterprise
andvigor. They leave their ports when they
please, and return to them when it suits their
convenience; they traverse the Atlantic, they
beset the West India Islands, they advance
to the very chops of the channel, they parade
along the coasts of South Misunderstanding
intercepts, nothing engages them, butto yield
them triumph

But ye-the offspring of O line.

But ye-the offspring of line,
Who in the wild West sought shrine,
Where thought and truth and mind are free
And sealed with blood their Liberty
Ye-from their lofty pedestal,
Would like star from glory fall,
As those false-hearted men of old,
Who wearily the desert trod,
Because molten calf of gold
Enticed them from the living God
Cursed is the land when gold can buy
The freeman's vote, the maidens hand,
And shield the murderer doomed to die
And place corruption in command"
So thought Owasso as he stood,
moment wrapt in dreamy mood,
Ere yet he bade last farewell,
Unit, his dear-loved native cline,
Far in the sunset West to dwell
Where prairie.oceans roll sublime.
The moon no longer shone on high, ,
The stars were fading from the sky,
The night-bird's song was hushed and mute,
He poured upon the tranquil air,
The echo of his hearts despair:
ADIEU!
Adieu to the land where was tempted to cherish,
The sweet dreams of love, 30 false yet SO bright!
Adieu to the hopes which so rapidly perish,
And leave the lorn heart in it's desolate blight.
Adieu to the maid with the eye darkly rolling;
Her name-it was once as magic to me,
A vista Of glory and beauty unfolding
But the magical splendor no longer see
For thick clouds have gathered in darkness and
number,
Ger the bright sky of innocent youth,
And the radiant dreams which illumined my
slumber
Have fed from the pitiless talisman-Truth.
Away-far away-like ship on the ocean
The barque Of my life is drifting in haste,
And the whirlpool ere long may still its commotion,
And find it grave in the desolate waste.
AWay-Iar aWay-from thee, Love, nm flying,
Thou shalt cheat me no more into dreamines Of
bliss,
On the faith Of frail woman too fondly relying,
And deeming Elyseum on earth only this.
Away-far away-from the charms Of the syren,
IN make me home in some tenantless vale,
Which the wild scenes of Nature shall only environ,
And where Beauty cheats not with it's 'aattering
tale.
Adieu to the land and the scenes of my childhood,
Tho selfish thy men, and tho venal thy maids,
The Home Of my youth, the school-house and
wildwood
Will evanish only as life dimly fades.

How TO MAKE HOME HAppY.-Do not
jest with your wife upon subject in which
there is danger Of wounding her feelings
Remember that she treasures every word you
utter, though you never think of it again.
Do not speak Of fsome virtue in another mans
wife, to remind your own of afault. Do not
reproach your wife with personal defects, for
if she has seusibility; you iufiot q wound
difficult to heal. Donot treat your wife with
inattention in company. Do not upbraid her
in the presence of third person, nor enter.
tain her with praising the beauty and accom-.
plishments of other women. IF You, would
have pleasant home and cheerful wife,
pass your evenings under your own roof. Do
not be stern and silent in your own house, and
remarkable for sociability elsewhere. Re-
member that your wife has as much need of
recreation as yourself, and devote portion at
least, of your leisure hours to such society
and amusements as she may join. BY 50
doing, you willsecure hersmiles aad increase
her affection. Donot, by being too exact in
pecuniary matters, make your wife feel her
dependence upon your bounty. It tends to
lessen her dignity of character, and does
not increase her esteem for you. If she is
sensible woman, she should be aequaint.
ed with your business and know .your in
come, that she may regulate her household
expenses accordingly. Do not withhold this
knowledge, in order to cover your own e1-
travagance. Women have keen lpercep-
tion-be sure she will discover your selfish
ness-aud though no word is spoken, from
that moment her respect is lessened, and
her confidence diminished, pride wounded,
and a thousand, perhaps unjust, suspicious
created. From that moment is your domes-
tic comfort on the wane. There can be no
oneness, where there is no full confidence.

Washington Oct. 10.
Secretary Cass, having recovered from
his recent sickness. was to day at the State
department, where he was to have an ap-
pointment with Gen. Jerez, but the latter
sent an apology for not meeting his ec-
gagement. One of the conditions upon
which he was received as special minis
ter from Nicaragua, was that he should de,
liver the Cass, Yrissarri treaty, as origi-
nally framed. This he has denied to va.
rious gentlemen, but the State depal tment
is in possession of the names of those to
whom he made the declaration. There is
no doubt but what he will be dismissed,
should he much longer delay to comply
with this condition.
The object of this instruction recently
issued to our navil forces, was specifically
to protect the tights and property of the
canal company, in connection with the
transit.

NOTES BT TIE WAYSIDE,
LETTER 1.

DEAR DEMOCRAT This taking "notes
of travel is purely-a..latter day invention.
1t belongs to the age Of steam and light
ming. In the days of stage coaches and
sailing crafts. the tourist was so long in
making journey that he forgot at the end
of it what he saw at the beginning. But
times have changed. Everybody travels
now. and everybody writes. Whether
they circumnavigate the globe, or visit a
neighboring ely; whether they take a tour
to watering place or make voyage to
the Mountains of tie Noon the carpet bag
is stuffed with "notes of travel" which
eventually find their way to the printers
forms.
As we,-Mr Editor. cannot, like the Phar-
isee, "thank God that we are not as other
men are." we. too, will have to ask a lit
tie indulgence in tourist scribbling.
Thursday was day of alternate sun
shine and showers,-such an one as poets
select as the epitome Of human life-tak-
ing advantage of one of the bright spots
we fastened. with travelling bag in hand
to the depot, and once aboard the steam
coach, sunshine and storm were alike to
us. Under the conduct of that careful
and efficient officer, Conductor Miller, we
were soon safely landed at the beoutifuI
little prario city. just in time to see the
crowd dispensing that had listened to the
great champion of Black Republicanism
from Illinois, Senator Trumbull. The in
quiry suggested itselfat once to our mind,

in the invention. Mr.. Hughes perfected
his instrument in Louisville. He is about
thirty five years of age. is a handsome little

several thousand years must elapse be-

to be relied upon in this country. the

SLAVERY IN NIRGINlA.--Mr james, the
eminent novelist. gives the following as his
impressions ofnegro slavery and negroes
Negro life ir virginia. says Mr. James
"diflers very little, believe, from the
negro life all through the South. In return
from food, clothing, house-room. medical
attendance, and support in cid age, about
one third of the labor which is required OF
with man in most countries is demanded
of the black. He performs it badly, and
would not perform it at all if he were not
compelled. The rest of his time is spent
in singing. dancing, laughing. chattering,
and bringing up pigs and chickens. That
negroes are the worst servants in the world
every man, | believe but thorough bred
Southern man, will admit; but the South
erner has been reared amongst them from
his chill 1hood, and in general has a tender
ness and affection for them of which North
ern men can have no conception. Great
care is taken BY the law to protect them
against oppression and wrong and after SIX
years residence in the State, | can safely
say never saw but one instance cruelty
toward negro, and that was prepetrated
by foreigner. That there may still be
evils in the system which might be removed
by law, and that there may be individual
instanc of oppression and even bad treat
ment. | do not deny: but those instances
are not SO frequent as those of cruelty to a
wife or child in Northern lands, as displa-
yed every day by the newspapers; and in
point of general happiness, it would not be
amiss to after an old adage, and say: "a.

that the Democratic candidates failed TO re.
ceive sufficient number eff votes to place
them IN advance of their competitors.
We have met the enemy, and The victo-
ry is theirs. We acknowledge beat-bad-
