Rhodo Island Election.

Little Rhode Island has done her duty
well. She is Republican to the backbone,
notwithstanding her failure to elect Lieut..
Governor, Treasurer and member from the
Eastern Congressional Dstrict, through the
division of tho Opposition, none Of the
candidates for those offices having received
a majority of all the votes cast. But the
candidates nominally American profess The
Republican faith, adding thereto the Amer
lean doctrine. The sentiment Of the State
is therefore thoroughly Anti-Slavery, and
opposed to the miserable policy Of the lres-
ont administration, and that is enough for
the present. The probability is that in the
second vote for the member in the Eastern
District, the straight-out Republican candi-
date will withdraw, having received less
number of votes than his Opposition oppo-
nent, and thc Republican American receive
the full Opposition vote.

Female Delicacy.-Above all other
features which adorn the female charac-
ter, delicacy stands foremost within the
province of good taste. Not that delica-
cy which is perpetually in quest of some-
thing to be ashamed of, which makes
merit of blush, and simpers at the false
construction its own ingenuity has put
upon an innocent remark this spurious
kind of delicacy is far removed from good
sense; but the bigh-minded delicacy
which maintains its pure and undertaking
walk alike among women and in the So
ciety ofmen-which shrinks from no nec-
essary duty, and can speak when requir-
ed, with seriousness and kindness, of
things of which it would be ashamed to
smile or blush-that delicacy which
knows how to confer benefit without
wounding the feelings Of another-which
can give aims without assumption, and
pains not the most susceptible being in
creatiop.-Home Journal.

time as the very Madonna of Loves frs
devotion to the hearts Of men, was bu
the humble dairy maid of Col. Mont
gomery. But what queen will live a
long in history what beauty will dwell
as warmly in the memory Of men, or il
the envy of women, as she who inspired
those lines of sad devotion that will b,
sung in tears as long as human heart
can feel and human tongues can ute
the tender sorrows of buried love.

And mould ring now in silent dust,
The heart that lo'ed me dearly
But still within my bOsom's core

As a reformer, social, political and re.
ligious, l know of no poet to be compar-
ed with Burns. He has conferred new
dignityIupon honest poverty" and made
the toiling masses happier in their fields
and at their fircsides. He has made hy-
pocrisy more hideous. and wolves in
sleeps clothing more ashamed to show
themselves in the church and he has
driven, by his scorching satire, the or
gies of the Holy Fairs" from Scotland.
He hates cant worse than the devil, (for
his heart was touched with a pang of
pity for poor "Auld Nickie,') and he
forces the "uncO guild" to see them
selves as others see them. He has made
every daisy that blooms sweeter by sing
sng of the sweetness of the "modest
crimson tippit flower" and every lassie
that lives is lovelier since he has sung
SC. sweetly the charms of the "lovely
dears." And when it comes to religion,
where can we find anything better, or
truer, or heartier than this:
When ranting round.in pleasures ring
Religion may be blinded;
Or if she gle random sting,
1t may be little minded.
But, when on life ye'rc tempest driven;
A conscience but canker,
A correspondence fired ci' Hearen
Is sure noble anchor"
The great Creator to revere,
Must sure become the creature;
But still the preaching can't forbear,
And cen the rigid feature;
Yet ne'er with wits profane to range,
BE cOmplaisance extended;
An atheist laughs poor exchange
For Deity offended"

A Majority on the Wrong Side
Several years ago celebrated Metho-
dist and revivalist, well known for his
eloquence and zeal in converting souls,
was preaching in Louisville. The feel
ing had got pretty well up, one night, af-
ter a very powerful sermon, he came
down from the pulpit, for the purpose of
receiving mourners, while the good old
hymn of.
Sweet Canaan, I'm bound for tho land of
Canaan
was struck, and chimed by hundreds of
voices. The hymn was concluded, and
he exhorted but his words and appeals fell
upon the ears of his congregation with
out exciting any emotion. At length he
concluded to make bold stroke, and fol-
lowed it up with test, and remounting
the pulpit, after few words ofexhorta-
tion, he solemnly announced that he
would put question, upon which he ex-
pected all to vote in view Of the estima-
tion they placed upon their sOnls. With
finger raised sufficient, and in most SOL
emn manner he announced: "All those
in favor Of Christ will please rise to their
feet"
Only some eight or ten responded to
the announcement, end while the minis
ter was watching intensely to signify
their intention by rising, worthy men,.
Der, who was on his feet, interfered and
suggested that "the reason might be
that the disciples were too modest to
VOTE"
At this juncture a loud voice was
heard in the gallery: Z" say, brother
--, it's no use talking, or trying
to force the vote-this congregation is
for the decH By at least t,renty.,ace ham,
deed majority."

When Greek Meets Greek" &C.
Fanny Fern, in the Ledger, said, "If
half of the girls knew the previous life Of
men they marry, the list of old maids
would be wonderfully increased" and
the Boston Post adds that if the men
could only look into the future life of the
women they marry, the number of old
bachelors would be greatly increased,
whereupon Fanny rejoins, "does the edi-
tor of the Post speak from his own ex-
perience :" The Post thus comes back.
"Our experience of matrimony is so
very small, compared with Fanny's, that
VIC shouldn't feel warranted in speaking
from it,"
As Hamlet says, that's wormwood!"

grave and momentous one for imbecile
diplomacy and for craftsmanship whose.
tactics it is to do nothing, and whose as

A traveller called late for breakfast
the meal was hurriedly prepared, Thomp.
son feeling that the feed was not quite
up to the mark made all sorts of apollo
gies all around the eater, who worked on
in silence, never raising his head beyond
the affirmative influence of his fork, by an
act even acknowledging the presence of
mine host. This snlky demeahor rather
f1ea'd' the doctor, who, changing the
range of his battery, stuck his thumbs
in his vest arm holes, expanded his chest
by robbing the room of half its air, and
said
Now, Mister, dod durn me if hain't
made all the apology necessary an more
too, considering the breakfast and who
gets it.; and now, tell you, l have seen
dirtier, worse looking, and HI of
sight smaller breakfasts than this, several
times
The very hungry one, meekly laid
down his tools, swallowed the bite in tran
stu, placed the palm ofhis hands togeth.
er and modestly looking up at the vexed
and foaming landlord, shot him dead with
the following words:
neutrality-suspicious. 2
Yes, SIR came with a indicative
promptness.

hain't out travelled me 7
The fellow had nothing to pay at that
