Trials increase with age, but the pathof the just shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Litchfield enquirer., 1859-04-28


 The Hartford Courant has unearthed an old number of that paper. dated in 1764, Dec. 3. Its uews reads queerly, for it speaks of the death of Mrs. Wolfe, mother of the late la- mented General of that name," and of Gives breaking down Seapoy mutiny instigated by French soldiers; of the death of Dodsley, the eminent bookseller of the Spanish coming to New Orleans to take possession of the Loui- siana Territory, ceded in 1762 of the French General rotifying the inhabitants that they could stay or leave, just as they chose events occurring when Dr. Johnson was in the merid- ian of fame, when Chatham was still vigorous, and George the Third but four years king l; when Frederick the Great was still laboring to recover the effects of the seven years war, when the English empire in India was but just commencing, are spoken of cotemporaDe- ousy, and to one who rarely sees them allu- ded to but in histories, or far off biographies, the effect is strange. But it's news is not the only queer thing about it. One of the adver- tisements of dry goods informs the public that the advertiser sells the following strange arti- cles :-" Rattoons, shrouds, duffels, shalloons, tammies, durants and callimancoes nuns thread black tafaty, stone, stock and knee buckles open steel, shoe and knee ditto, with a fine assortment of London Pewters Rap pee in caDisters :; delph ware in hogsheads, and the best Anguilla salt" That list of goods would puzzle modern dealer little. .--.- EIchange

SENATOR DOUGLAS.

For few brief days Stephen A. Douglas shone as a statesman, but he had not the courage to carry through the part, and has sunk back to the chair of politician, and not very shrewd one at that. He started for Connecticut, backed out when he heard that the administration was fully endorsed by the Middlctown convention, but was over-per- suaded into lending his name by letter which virtually put his reputation at stake as we'll as the Presidents. Mr.. Buchanan seems to have been the only consistent sham engaged in the fight. MT. Douglas went in" gratui- tously, and cannot now ask to be counted out" As for our opponents at home, they were both Douglas and Buchanan men, by quick turns-anything to get vote. But they are aH whipped. The Washington cor respondent of the Baltimore American sets the little giant in his true light.
 The friends of Judge Douglas here are much exercised that he complicated himself by letter in the Connecticut election. They think that it was gratutous blunder, inasmuch as the committal might have been easily avoided. His position was bad enough before, but it is now much worse, inasmuch as he shares the defeat of the administration, and especially of Mir. Toucey They are all in the same boat. and may expect the same fate at Charleston. Since the appearance of Judge Douglas here last winter, after his election, he has gradual ly subsided into condition of surprising un- importance. When he entered the democratic caucus at the first opportunity, without a syl- lable of rcbuke to the humiliating indignity to which he had been subjected, in the deposition from the chairmanship of the Committee on Territories, he at orce descended from the high place he had before occupied as politi cal leader, and lost moral cast as man. That, ground is not to be recovered easily"

THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA.

The battle of Magenta, with its pre-
ceding conflicts at Buffalora, is already
characterized in the loose language of
the papers as zone of the most bloody
battles in the annals of modern warfare,
and second only to that of Waterloo"
This is the language of unthinking ex-
agge-ation. On the contrary, the truth
is that when the number of the troops
engaged is considered in connection with
the fact that the battle lasted two days,
the contest does not appear so sanguina.
nv, and is far inferior in its totals of kill
ed and wounded to the bloody fields on
which the elder Napoleon won glory and
empire. At Waterloo the French num-
bered 5000 and the allies 10, 900, and
the loss in killed and wounded was 33,
900 French and 80, 900 allies. At Aus
terlitz there were but $50, 900 troops
engaged, whilst the killed and wounded
numbered AZ, 900. At Jena, the battle
was fought by 10000 men, and the
killed, wounded, and prisoners summed
up to $1,000. At Eylau. the French
numbered $4,000 and the Russians rs,
600: the loss of the former was $4,000
and of the latter 25, 900. At Wagram
100, 900 French encountered 100, 00C
Austrians, with the loss of killed, wound
ed, and prisoners of $4,000 French and
SO, 900 Austrians. At the desperate
battle of Borodino, fought between the
French and Russians, the aggregate loss
in killed, wounded, and prisoners was
about 10000. In all these battles,
and we might add other instances, the
number of troops engaged was less thar
at Magenta, whilst the losses were much
greater. The latter is, therefore, fal
from being entitled to be described as the
''bloodiest of battles" and is rather re.
markable, considering the immensity Of
the forces engaged and the length Of
time the contest was prolonged, for the
comparatively small number of killed
and wounded. 1t was but seldom, even
in the wars of the First Napoleon, that
a quarter of a million men were brought
into actual conflict, as at Magenta. Sc
far as an isolated instance may be con-
sidered as establishing fact, this battle
does not prove that the improvements in
fire. arms will make the contests of this
day any more bloody than those which
occurred half a century ago. The pluck
and endurance of the contestants, rather
than the arms they handle, is, after all
the true measure of the destructivenesl
of war Baltimore american.

IMPORTANCE OF PuYcTUALIrY Meth
cd is the very hinge of business; and
there is no method without punctuality !;
it is important, because it subserves the
peace and good temper of q family; the
want of itnot only infringes on necessary
duty, but sometimes excludes this duty
The calmness Of mind which it produces is
another advantage Of punctuality; a dis
orderly man is in hurry he has no
time to speak to you, because he is go
ing elsewhere and when he gets there
be is too late for his business; or he must
hurry away before he can finish it,
Punctuality gives weight to character.
"Such man has made an appointment !;
then know he will keep it," And this
generates punctuality in you for like
other virtues it propagates itself. Ser
wants and children must be punctual where
their leader is SO. Appointments. indeed,

stitutional legislasion to deprive him Of
his rights in the Territories. the courts
of the country are open to him, and are
capable of affording al! the protection
that he requires for the maintenance of
his rights.
If, then, on the one hand, our north
ern brethren are willing to hive up to the
doctrines which they, in common with
the southern Democracy, have maintained
on this subject; If they are willing to
abide the decision of that tribunal to
which they agreed to refer these qucs-
tions of difference and difficulty; and,
on the other hand, if the southern de-
mocracy are willing to abide the same
decision, and to live up in good faith to
the doctrine Of non-intorvention to which
they stand pledged in long series of
resolutions county, State, and national
adopted by the democracy of every
southern State, then we are enabled to
answer the question heretofore PROFOUND
ed, by saying that there is common
ground upon which the democratic party
Of the Union can stand firm, united, and
invincible. That common ground is no
new principle, no new doctrine, no new
dogma. 1t is simply the doctrine and
position which our past history and past
pledges force upon us as the only means
of relieving and saving the party from
the inevitable disruption to which these
two antagonistic doctrinaires are forcing
it.
To carry out this view and maintain
this position, it is only necessary that the
Charleston Convention should reaffirm
and readopt the Cincinnati platform. -
This will be full, complete, and sufficient.
1t has met all the exigencies of the past,
and if faithfully adhered to, will meet all
exigencies in the future. -Coastitmion.

For those who do not Hope.

There are some spots so cursed by Heaven,
So blankly drear, so wholly lone,
Where nought but fierce simoons are driven,
And cooling fountains are unknown:
Some spots-oh why were they eer made,
To be such pictures of despair;
As if the heaviest burden laid,
On sinful man, was only there ?
The traveller breads their woeful look,
And feels his heart grow dumb with grief
How dread that burning cline to brook,
Without flower, without leaf
Without one thing to tell his soul,
OF howery lands which he has left,
Where fiery sands forever roll,
O'er forms of cherished life bereft.
There are some hearts as desolate,
As deserts that appall the eye;
The changeless mourners of their fate,
Which live, and yet they wholly die.
So darby cursed, so strangely sad,
They would not, if they could, be gay,
Where nothing living can be glad,
Whence cheerful beings fee away.

BLACKBERRY WINE.-To make a wine
equal in value as a family medicine to
Port, take ripe blackberrics or dew
berries and press them, let the juice
stand thirty-six hours to ferment, skim
off whatever rises to the top, then to
every gallon Of the juice add quart Of
water and three pounds Of sugar, let
this stand in open vessels for twenty
four hours, skim and strain it, then bar
rel it until March, when it should be
carefully racked off and bottled.
This wine is very valuable as nedi-
cine in the treatment of weakness Of the
stomach and bowels, and in the summer
complaints Of children.

E- The following words of wisdom
we copy from late number of the
Maryland Union. 1t is as true as gos.
pei, every word of it:
% Maryland wants no traitors on hci
soil, and her sons do not desire the com.
partnership of spies, nor the society Of
"Southern men with Northern princi.
PIES" The issue which the North will
force upon the South in 1860, will be OF
such character as to leave no room for
middle ground. Know-Nothingism
will be lost sight of, and men will be
forced to choose between Democracy and
Black Republicanism. The fanatical abb
olitionists of the North have no idea at
present of Throwing down their arms
and dispensing their rebels" and we
therefore urge the Know-Nothings of
the South to urite with the Democratic
party in battling for Southern rights, and
the perfect equality of all the citizens Of
this Republic, if they would prevent the
election of Black Republican to the
Presidency of these United States"
