Old Byown's Fdmily.-A resident
Of Yuba county furnished the Marys-
vile Democrat with an inter esting ac-
count of the family of old Ossawata-
mie Brown. will. which the writer is
we'll acquainted. s After giving the
family names and history, he says:
The family was peculiar one
All of them were well educated, at
the same time some of them had nev-
cr had even the benefits Of a common
school. Frederick, in 1S4S, was ta>
ken with insanity. and became per-
fectly mad~crazy. / have seen him
iB such state for weeks that there
had to be a constant guard kept over
him. Owen was alwrys called in sane
by every one in the heighborhood.--
The three younger boys / knew less
about. When the elder Brown was at
home he always attended to morning
and evening prayer in his family
They were notorious for two distin-
gushing traits of character, for their
abolition and religious proclivities.
No one could talk with them an hour
without one or the other of these sub
iccts being brought into the converse
ton. The boys have often told me
that their insanity was hereditary in
their family. and from my knowledge
of them, / have no reason to doubt
the assertion. They were always
| ehara ctcrized for some eceentricit y or
talked about as '.the crazy Browns"
The Abolitionists have issued a
circular, calling upon the friends of
freedom throughout the free States to
observe the day of Browns exception
in manner beftting the tragic acca-
sion. Nm
GREAT MEN.-The nearer we get
to great men the smaller they are.
This is not a startling remark; but, as
Met amora, the last of the Pollywogs,
observes, when he tails the pale faces
that they have stolen all his land, and
made fools of his brother Iniuns by
feeding them with badrum, il is true
one-exceedingly true. Great men
eat beef and things, the same as small
ones do. Great men do mean things
Like other flesh, they are of the
grass. grassy--and, we may add, OF
the gas. gassy Sometimes. An itch
ing to know them. to shake hands
with them, to have them say they
are happy to make our acquaintance,
is weakness almost every body is af-
aicted with. And when it happens
that we get acquainted with tLem we
! find that they are exactly like other
people, only, perhaps, little worse.
We perceive that .hey swear as freely
as mm' people. aud that when
pressed earnestly they will OCCASION
ally take a drink. In a word, we are
disappointed in them. They ere far
from being all our fancy painted them
! Their sins shock us. The moral
! grandure WHICH we had supposed ac-
companied their great intellect is too
often not char. Great men are very
human 1t scarcely pays to run after
them.-Plaindealer.

he said, was worth voyage across

Ridge of Virginia. The Potomac
having burst its way through the
mountain, flows darkly on through the
valley, just like the Hoosac, until il
bathes the foot of Washington's Mon

Language Of the Star Spangled
Banner.-"The stars of the new flag
represented the new constellation of
Estates" rising in the West. The
idea was taken from "the constella-
ton of Lyra," which in the hands of
Orpheus signified harmony. The
blue of the field was taken from the
edges of the Convenanter's banner in
Scotland, significant also of the league
and covenant of the United Colonies
against oppression, incidentally invol-
wing the virtues of vigilance,perseve
anceand justice. The stars were dis
posed in circle, symbolizing the per-
petuity of the Union the ring, like
the circling serpent of fthe Egyptians,
signifying eternity. The thirteen
stripes showed. with the stars, the
number of the United Colonies, and
denoted the suboraination of the
States to tie Union. as we'll as equal-
ity among themselves The whole
was the blending of the various flags
previous to the Union flag, viz the
red flag Of the army and the white
ones of the floating batteries. The
red color, which i'll Roman days was
the signal Of defiance, denotes daring
and the white purity.
What eloquence do the stars breathe
when their tull significance is known.
A new constellation Union ! Per-
petuity a covenant against OPP
