4 DoUeLAs DEMoNsrKAr1oS.-We hear it
r,morea that movements are on foot to get
up a public demonstration in honor of the
victory lately won by Senator Douglns over
the comuined cohorts Of AboIitionistn and
the Administration in Illinois. A public
meeting. and the shooting of any number OF
guns, have been suggested. Well, if the
thing ~ determined upon. where is the OBJ
lection? And, as public sentiment in this
metropolis has been we'll nigh universal in
favor OF Douglas as against Lincoln, it would
be a good plan to get up a meeting without
regard to party distinctions. We. OF New
Orleans, don't agree often, and when a
chance 70 agree presents itself, we should en-
brace it by all means.
We hope Senators BENJAMIN and Slidell
will ba specially invited, aud that they will
tell their constituents their opinions regarding
this Illinois aaair*-Crsscent Of Monday.
A singular article to be found in the col
umns OF 4 paper which for some months past,
has been a rampant fre-eating Southern
Rights Journal. Do get upa douglas demon

crowd, and may possibly open their eyes to

spirit OF the good Samaritan rises within him,
and he, DR.. Bigvigs, the venerable Archdeacon
of GrAndaits, dismounts from his sleek and well,
groomed cob, to render the required help and
aid. :.
Then to it they went, hammer and torgs, the
boy and the Archdescon, sud, after much tug.

length, both of them fairly out Of breath, they
succeeded in replacing the sack and its con.

be was doomed to be more so by the outpour

warmth of his heart, for such a big chap as
thee art, thees the awkwardest at a bag O Goals

And 30 they parted. And SO the Archdeacon
told the tale himself, adding, with laugh (

AN AWKWARD ARCHDEACoN.

Some little time since, small boy, of ten or
eleven years of age, might have been seen dri.
wing donkey before him, in one of the Wild
lanes in Q midland country in England. On
the back Of the donkey was sack of Goals, on
its way to a neighboring village, in which the
lads parents lived. For Q while, all went on
happily and smoothly The donkey logged
along just a. respectable and well conducted
donkey ought 10 do, and the boy, running BY
its side, either "whistled a. he went, from want
Of thought" or neither whistled nor thought.
But this fair state of things, like true love, was
presently disturbed. The donkey took fright at
to the ground. Here was dilemma. The
donkey was still there, and the boy was there,
and the Goals were there; hut, then, the weight
of the latter was beyond the strength Of the lad.

original position. There vas, then, no help for it.
but to wait until some other traveller should ar

might not happen for hours in that desolate
part of the country-a by.lsnd, little travelled
but it was the only chance. ia
At last, however, horssman doomed in the
distance, and approached the spot. /, It ives the
venerable DR.. Bigwigs, Archdeacon of Grand
airs, who, mounted on his sleek and we'll
groomed cob, was %aking an sppetizing ride.
The boy did not know the church digL itary.
His only feeling, therefore, was one of Joy, I'M
mixed with . single particle of awe, at seeing .
six foot of man coming, who, TO bis unsophis
ticated eyes, looked, from his full measure Of
Drawn ard sinew, to have been created on pur.

on his donkey's back. -
Neither was our young gentleman remarkable
for his politeness of manner or courtesy Of
speech. When, therefore, the venerable Arch
deacon reached the spot, he was utterly aston.
ished and electrified ct being thus hailed by the
distressed donkey boy:
"Hilloa, thee big fellow, wish thee'dst get
of thy 'oss, and give us lift with this here bag
of Goals" l-l
Here was . salutation even from fellow
creature in distress. The Archdeacon had
been accustomed for yeals to give the longest
of charges to hi: brother clergy. But he never
had 20 short and abrupt charge addressed To
him before. How would he take itf Whist

THE ASPH 0 DEL.
BY CLARA AUGUSTA.

A fairy queen, one radiant night,
Strayed from her tabled sphere,
Down through the crims on clouds that filled
The mellow atmosphere;
She saw this earth, hung like star
In the great silent void.
A writing of celestial hands,
A finger mark of God
She folded up her breezy wings,
To visit this new land,
And sank upon a sea-weed leaf,
Down on the harbor sand
The moisture chilled her tender limbs,
She trembled on her bed,
The great sea meanings tired her heart,
And hurt her ,hrobbing head.
She said-"1ll call my minions down
To build palace hall,
Where can live WIENER choose
To make this earth CALI
She struck her luie-a blade of grass
An hundred fairies came,
With little wands of yellow light,
And crowns of amber fame.
Soon as they knew her royal wish,
They bowed 10 the behest,
And flew away, each with her hand
OF fealty on her breast;
palace rose-its towers were gold,
Its walls of crimson silk,
Its windows of the clesrest pearl,
Its floors as pure as milk.
Triumphant went the fairy queen
Her new-made home 10 see
gallant orchestra there was
To greet her majesty.
Robins, and bees, and grasshoppers,
Sang each q rare refrain,
And the rich moonlight poured adown
Its glittering silver rain.
A miracle of Art and Taste
The fairy castle stood,
The royal perfume of its sweets
Floating for many a rood;
And TO this day maids love the flower,
Where the queen came 10 dwell,
And bind within their wreath Of curis
The trembling asphodel.
