The SWORD OF WALLAcE--A correspondent
of the Glasgow Gasette complains of the neg
lect with which this historical relic is treated.
The writer went to visit the sword at Dunbar
ton Castle, and was shocked at seeing place
of emptiness as regards one single stand of
arms to uphold the name it bears. No arms
were there but two Highland dirks, Lochaber
axe, and on the wall, carelessy hung and irrev-
erently exposed, without covering or the least
thing to protect it, the sword of Scotlands
great martyr-pairiot. But this is not all as
respects the sword with its thrilling associa-
tions. Some awkward creature, in taking it
down from the wall, has apparently let it fall
and there it is, about to break in two and
further, the iron rust all over it is doing its
work of destruction silently and surely.

A GAINST IMPA THENCE.

Nothing imparts so deadening an effect up
on the active energies of life, as Impotence.
What chill it sends through the vital circu-
lation, paralyzing every emotion of will and
throwing pail of gloom and sadness on our
merry existence for the time being
What careworn visage does the impatient
man carry with him through society. You
may read in his countenance the conflict that
is raging within he cannot conceal the sad
condition of the emotions within; his face. the
mirror Of his soul, exhibits to the obseryant
the correct reflection of all his thoughts, feel
ings and desires as they pass and repass on
the different subjects Of his meditatons. In
the great race for riches how the impatient
man will strive, straining every nerve to
reach or oyerreach some competitor perhaps
who has had the start of him in the bargain
and sale of some profitable commodity; you
will observe with what intense anxiety all his
feelings are now absorbed. In the midst of
company you find him talking to himself his
FPS constantly in notion he is what may
% termed, in the full sense of the word, an
inpatient man.
Then comes the eager politician, with his
'osom filed to overflowing with love of coun-
ry and the welfafs'of the laboring classe,

A NEGRO ESCAPES PROM SLAvERY.-lIeis suf
located in the hold ola Vessel.-1'he schooner
Neptane's Bride arrived in Brooklyn Yesterday
from port in North Carolina, loaded with
naval stores. She was hauled into the Alta
lantic Basin to Messrs. Half & Co. Is wharf to
unload. Upon removing the main hatch
horrible stencil greeted the men who were con
1ecturing as to the cause, but no one could
solve the mystery as to what produced the
disagreeable smell. The work of breaking
cargo was commenced and continued with all
possible dispatch until last evening, when
there was discovered in the forward part Of the
hold the body of negro in n state of deconl-
position. The first sight was sufficient for the
steVedores, and stampede from the hold took
place. 1t was some time before they could he
induced to return to their work again. The
services of an officer of the Third Precinct
Poiece were finally obtained and, upon as
surfing the men that there was no danger. they
were induced to assist in removing the body
to the wharf. Deputy Coroner Cashow soon
after arrived and took possession of the body.
and an inquest will be held to-day. The negro
was appasently strong, well made young
man. How or when lie got on board is not
known, as all on board deny all knowledge of
him. When found, he was in sitting nos.
ture, his head dropped forward upon his breast
ms night arm resting upon the cargo. and near
him were some provisions. Apparently the
last act Of his life was to partake Of some food |
tie was III very close quarters, where he could I
scarcely sit upright. From the state that his
body was in, it is supposed that he must have
lied soon after the vessel left port. His death
vas doubtless caused by inhaling the foul air
u the hold, strongly impregnated with tur. /
oentine.

would have been redeemed from the tax thral-
dom under which she groans. The members
of the opposition party who were elected,
need to thank Johnson for their triumph, and
Grimshaw may praise him that he was not
defeated by majority of three hundred. In
the first ward, where Grinishaw ran best and
Young, worst, Johnson's odious unpopularity
and the imbecile character fhis paper, together
with the ungodly roorbacks" which he late
ly perpetrated upon some of the party in that
ward, operated sadly against the democracy
there, and at one time gave serious apprehen-
sions of Democratic defeat. But "fortune
favored the brave" and in spite of the old
organ and its weak minded master, Mr.. llag-
any was elected, and Mayor Young received
respectable majority. Not satisfied however
with his labors during the campaign he must
needs continue his support Of the Mayor even
after the election and to do this, lu, in the
very political peccadiioes of that gentle man.
which above all others, would tend to embitter
the Democratic party against him.
hayVt louhBt say tho NcAh-hiiHutu
editor, is a supporter of Mr. Buchanan, and a
consistent Democrat, and on this account the
party nominated and elected him." What
more infamous insult could be offered to the
Democracy of Wilmington, or what more
singing libel could be aimed at the political
character of Mr.. Young. This we consider
the point beyond which forbearance ceases to
be virtue, and the Democratic party though
tolerant of abuse, and patient
under long suffering, should bear it no longer
but imperatively command the weak-minded
man to silence. His ISLANDERS are odious and
must he suppressed. Let the party buy h
paper and PLACE 1T IN THE HANDS OF
SOME MAN OF SENSE AND SOUL.
SPEEDWELL.

THE IMAGE OF IsIs.-An old priest ut Mem
phis had the image ofthe'veiled Isis standing in
the hall ofhis dwelling, ingeniously formed of
gray marble. His son, lively, active boy,
stood often before the image, and longed very
much to behold the concealed countenance Of
the goddess. One day he could no longer re-
strain his curiosity; he took hammer and
chisel, and with few blows struck OFF the
veil. But, to his great surprise, he now be-
held nothing more then piece Of raw shape
less stone
''What dost though there - asked the
priest, who Just came up.
q wanted to see the face of the goddess"
i' sighed the priest, sit has happened
to the as it did to me when was yonth, and
fancied to find wisdom in the chools Of tho
sages. "-sSchreiber.

I" He had no counsel in his youth,
Nor was he taught to read

A good Common School Education for the
great mass of the community throughout the
State, under the influence of free institutions
for our citizens, without distinction, is certain
~ one Of the most Heavenly blessings which
has ever entered into the heart of man to con-
ceive, and untold blessings must crowd thick
and strong around him who originated such
a glorious scheme, as well as those who have
given it their true and undivided support af-
ter its origination by the head and heart of
Wisdom. Whore is the benefit of our Gospel
teachings to those who cannot read one letter
in the Book of Life. We are commanded to
read the Scriptures, but the command falls
without force on those who are ignorant of
their letters, and to them the Holy Scriptures
are certainly of no avail.
Now worse situation in life cannot he i'm
agined'than young man to grow on through
boyhood andto reach maturity without being
able to read even in the spelling book, yet
hundreds, nay, thousands, have thus been sit
mated and reared in that abject ignorance
which knows no allvation for its griefs, its sor-
rows and its difficulties save that soothing sad
ness which is too often sought and found in
the bowl. Notwithstanding facts like these
which crowd in upon the mind, yet there are
some individuals am informed who are OPP
posed to common school education. Such per-
sons may be very honestly disposed in their
Judgment and opinions but did they take
the trouble to examine the subject in all its
important bearings their opinions would GER
tanly undergo a change in regard to the en-
ployment of children and youth at that pro
per peribd of life, when they have the time
and health to gather knowledge.

post in his impotence to mount to office in
order to falsify all that he has been essaying
to the. same dear people for the last six
months, and is so very anxious TO satisfy
