Appearances.

How many judge of PERSONS character
by the cut Of his coat, his manners or con4s
versation, or from the con, ition in which
he is placed. A person well dressed is sup
posed to possess virtuous mind and good
heart, while man with threadbare jacket
and patch on his knee. passes for a sim
pleton or william. Politeness and flow of
words betoken wisdom, while bashfuiness
and taciturn disposition teray folly
Dress and appearance are everything with
the world. No matter how depraVed and
rotten his heart may be, if a person have
money, dresses in the extreme of fashion.
and is agreeable in conversation, and pre-
sents 4 goo1 exterior, he IS received IN The
best circles, and is extollcd and carcsssd,
while virtuors poverty is sligLted and shun-
ned, and last out frora the society of the
proud and fashionable This is wrong. Z
mpn should be judgel by is heart--his
general department and character-and not
by his outward appearance. If he is a vii.
liau: in broadcloth, he should be detested rs
if he were dressed in homespun, and re-
ceiveG his support by roguery.

Intemperance.

Itwould be well for young men to ponder
we'll the following experience Of Charles
Lamb, as written with his own hand:
"The waters have gone over me. But
ou. of the black depths, could be heard,
l would cry ou, to all those who have set
a foot in the perlous flood. Could the
youth to whom flavor nf tho first wine is de-
licous as the opening scenes of life, or the
entering upon some newly discovered par
adise, look into my desolation and be made
to understand what a dreery thing it is
when he shall feel himself going down a
precipice with open eyes and a passive will
to see his obstruction and have no power
to stop it, and yet feel it oil the way eman-
ating from himself; to see all godliuess en-
ptied cut of him, and yet not able to forget
q time when it was otherwise; to bear about
the pitious spectacle of his own ruin: could
he see my fevered eye, feve-ish with the
last nights drinking, and feverish looking
for to-night's repetition Of the folly; could
he but feel the body of the death out of
which cry, hourly with feebler ou,cry. to
be delivered, it were enough to make him
dash the sparkling beverage to tha earth in
all the pride of its mantlIng temptation "

Horace Greeley at Auburn.

Horace Greeley delivered an address at
Auburn. California, 9th August, from which
we make the following extract:
l believe the day is not distant when, if
the freemen of the Nation are true to the
principles OF freemen, true to the traditions
of their fathers, slavery shall fade out of the
slave States, not through any active inter-
position by the free States, but by the might
of example, by the power of conscience and
the influence OF good conduct and good
conversation brought to bear upon them. l

How a Soldier feels in the Battle.


A young French officer thus writes of his
first experience in battle:
sour officers kept us back, for we were
not numerous enough to charge upon the
enemy. This-was, however, most prudent
for this murderous fre-so fatal to the white
coats-did us but little harm. Our conical
balls penetrated their dense masses, while
those of the Austrians whistled past our
ears and respected our persons. 1t was the
time hadfaced fire. nor was the only one
Well, l am satisfied with myself. True, l
lodged the first balls. but Henry w, they
say, did the same thing at the beginning of
every battle. 1t is, in fact. a physical eff.

'But, this tribute paid, if you could only
feel how each shot electri6es you. 1t is
like whip on a racers leg. The balls
whistle by you, turn up the earth around
you, kill one, wound another, and you hard
.ly notice them. You grow intoxicated, the
emell of guupowder mounts. to your brain,
The eye becomes bloodshot, and the look
is fixed upon tie enemy. There is some-
thing of all the passions in that terrible
passion excited in soldier by the. sight OF
blood and the trmult Of battle.
Everybody who has tried it testifies TO
the peculiar intoxication that ia produced
by being in a battle. There is an infatu-
aling influence in the smell of powder, the
shrill whistle of bullet, and the sight Of
human blood, tina: instantly transforms men
from towards to heroes-from women some
times to monsters. None can tell Of the
nature or mystery of that influence but those
that have been 10 the fray themselves

That was Jefersonian and Jackson Dem

Since that time the Ohio Democracy have
taken summerset and landed in the South.
They have not only abandonded the doctrine
proclaimed in this resalution-but they used
all the power and patronage of the govern.

State men were butchered in cold blood
and the perpetrators of these horrid murders
instead of being hung up for their crimes
were rewarded with fat offices by the Pres
Advocate.
