Day. The st. Louis Democrat thus COM
ments npon the recent election held ia that
city and county; 81
The election just closed is, perhaps, the
most significant that has taken place in this
county for many years 1t presents great,
though indirect issues, disentangled from
the complications which that anamoly, a
third party, never fails to beget. What has
been done in the county of st. Louis, may
be done on much wider theater; nor
should We pause with merely setting the ex-
ample to the State, and the country at large.
Let Us advance the movement until the OPP
position in Missouri is consolidated in one
body. Politics admit of no truce; to pause
is to reeede. Let US OIL then, aud by a
steady adhersnce TO great issues, and a dis
regard OF minor ones, be prepared to dispute
this State with the National Democracy in
eighteen hundred and sixty.

The King and the Critic.

Goods Heroes and the Worlds Heroes" by the
Rev. j. H. Quincy, contains the following picture
of the sort of copartnership of Frederick and Vol
taire:
In peaceabe times Frederick's restless spirit
found employment in literature, and thinking that
his business was rather to enlighten mankind than
to master what wiser men had written, he poured
forth volume after volume, in French of Indifferent
prose and worse poetry. He desired to have
critic at hand to correct what was faulty IN his
compositions and, royal author, coveted for
his own the Prince of Critics So overtures We're
made to Voltaire to come to Pottsdam, there to be
entertained with courtesy and honors suited to his
fame and to Potsdam in an evil hour he went.
Never did palace hold two such men, with
talents at once so great and perverted. The
king sat up stairs writing his history or dabbng in
philosophy, or penning alternately lampoons and
compliments, and Voltaire sat down stairs writing
his IL Age of Louis XIV" Their productions in
manuscript were freely communicated to each
other, and profusely commended or freely crit
| cised. For time Voltaire was pleased and fiat
| tered the king he said, was as agreeable in
| society as he was terrible in war. Nothing could
| be more delightful than this mode of life, or more
| honorable to philosophy or literature. Voltaire de-
| lighted to quiz the poor authors who were admit
ted like himself to the familiar supper scenes OF
| the palace, and Frederick resented every attack
upon men whom he esteemed as prodigles OF genus.
| As occasions of dispute multiplied, the wit could
not restrain his pen spare his person, so sting
| ing epigrams were written and soon reported to
| the king. Frederick retaliated in kind; If the
| weapons were less keen, sarcasm from such a
quarter left ranking wound behind them, and
the great master of the mocking art, when too
roughly touched, was irritable and passionate as
a spoiled child.
Other grievances followed, and scenes were en-
acted for the amusement of wits and conrhers
| which sound ludicrous beyond description, when
we consider the pretensions of both parties, and
the terms on which they came together. "You are
a philosopher Frederick had written in the let
ter of invitation, land am also. What more
natural than that we should enjoy each other
society? respect you as my master in eloquenc'
and knowledge and | love you as virtuou
friend" The king gave the I" virtuous friend' al
allowance of tea, chocolate, sugar, and othe
they were bad, the purveyors being cheating set
Frederick replied that, in that case, the philoso
pher might do without them his sublime studio
need not be interrupted by attention to sue
trifes. voltaire was in a rage, and to reimburs
himself sold his wax candles taking care, when h
left the royal apartments for his own always t
bring along one with him, which was never re
turned.

bus
Columbus is pleasant place, and, to man who
wishes to retire from business and devote the re-
mainder of wel-spent life to meditation and cards,
| know of no place more favorable. 1t is true that
the water tastes as if squeezed out OF bricks and
during the winter, people, very disreputable peo-
ple, pertaining to houses of the Legislature and
houses which keep the tiger and other houses that
won't enumerate, come about and make them
selves disagreeable Then conventions meet in
| Columbus-such as piOus conventions, temperance
conventions, agricultural and horticultural conven-
tons, that raise the price of eggs and butter, and
| political conventions, that raise the devil. But
then one has such resorts for relief. The charta
BILE institutions located here, and it one has the
| blues very badly, he can take turn in the BIND

of politics, and reads up great deal in that di-
rection. You cannot make him commit himself on
any other There is no use trying him on any lit

of Hair Dresser or Partons Life of Burr" Nor
would it be worth your while to list him on the
doctrnal points, such as second marriage infant
baptism, or whether man can marry his uncle S
aunt. Great waste of time, all that. But touch on
politics, and your friend who lives just outside the
Pententary is eloquent and oracular. His taste
in fine art is very much governed by the state
House, which greatly resembles an inverted salt
cellar on a brick. VIM. NJ Cory, speaking from
the tribune in the House of Representatives, told
the citizens this, and it increased their admiration

One would hardly suspect Thomas Carlyle of
poetizng The following lines on beetle, how

Poor, hobbling beetle, needst not haste,
Should traveller traveller thus alarm?

No foot of mine shall work thee harm.
Who knows what errand grave thou hast

Lodged under pebble there they fast
Till head of house have raised the wind.

The Buider,) who sometimes courts the MUSES., has
given his idea of the church building taste of the

contain more truth than poetry:

Like ould Westminster Abbey;
But thin they thinks to chate the Lord,
And builds the back part shabby

KAFFIRs AND LEoPARDs.-Several Kafirs, who
had suffered severely from his numerous depreda-
tons, visited him, and exhausted their abusive 70
cabulary by the cpithets which they hurled at his
devoted head. Even the civilized man finds it
difficult to restrain his triumph over fallen but
dreaded foe, and the savage has no conjunction
about the matter. Around the cage, therefore, the
Kaffrs are seated, and address the leopard in the
following terms: "You rascally, cowardly dog
you miserable eater of chickens! so you are caught
at last, are you? Do you remember the red and
white calf you killed last moon? That calf was
was mine, you coward Why didn't yon wait I'M

let you eat it that your skin might be more sleek

says another, ST will strike it into your heart as

the ground several times)-"Ah, show your teeth
they will make a necklace, and we will roast your

address, the leopard would spring up, rush at the
stakes, and away would fly all the Boosting kaffil

ORGANIZER.

The mellow year is fastening to its close,
The little birds have almost sung their last,
Their small notes twitter in the dreary blast
That shrill piped harbinger of early SHOWS;
The patient beauty of the scentless rose,
Oft with the morn's hour crystal quantity glassed
Hangs pale mourner for the summer past,
And makes little summer where it grows.
In the chill sunbeam of the FAINT brlei DAY
The dusky waters shudder as they shine
The russell leaves obstruct the struggling way
OF oozy brooks which no deep banks define;
And the gaunt woods, in ragged, scant array,
Wrap their old limbs with sombre ivy Irvine.
