Talking and writing.

A man never knows what he has read
until he has either talked about it or writ
ten about it. Talking and writing are di.
gestive processes which are absolutely eS-
sentiaI to the mental constitution of the
man who devours many books, But it is
not every man who can talk. Talking i'm
plies, first of all. readiness on the part of
the speaker, and next, a sympathetic listen
er. is therefore as digestive process
the most rapid, in its operation. Writing
is different affair man may take his
time to, and not require a hearcr and can
be his own reader 1t is an easier, although
more formal, process of digestion than talk
ing. 1t is in everybody's power and eve
rybody who reads much makes more or less
use of it, because, ns Bacon says if he does
not write, then he ought to have eXtraor-
dinaGy faculties to compensate for such
neglect 1t is in this view that we are to
understand the complaint of a well.knowh
author that he was ignorant of a certain
subject. and the means by which he was to
dispel his gnorance-namely, by writing
on it. 1t is in this view that the moHito-

SPEAK PLEAsANTLY.-We have read

us that we might speak pleasant things to
each other" but, alas how often it is used
for other and baser purposes ! A kind word,
or even an affectionate look is balm to the
wounded, Auttering heart, when it turns
toward You for consolation in the hour of
misery ! Were we to moderate our voice
10 a Sllyery tone, and think only of the
good we see struggling up in those who
surround US, brothers and sisters in humani.

evil they have done. Let Us aim, tnen, at

Written for the Telegraph.
The Wanderer.

Night, and the autumn winds moaning
Rustled the dried leaves, and sweeping
Wild the bare branches among.
Ger my lost joys was weeping,
Vainly for comfort was seeking,
Crying, o, Father how long
Low, came q sound as of knocking,
But / thought twas the winds only mocking,
Till wild wall of grief met mine ear
Then swift sped my feet, tho with trembling,
My fright very poorly assembling,
And hastily dashing tear,
opened the door, and was gazing
On what at that hour was amazing;
A woman stood covering in fear
A babe on her bosom was sleeping
While she in voice. boarse with weeping,
Sought shelter for one she loved dear.
From bondage that mother was fleeing;
And the hue Of her skin was revealing
She was born Of the African race
And as her wet garments were drying
Her story to tell she was trying,
While tears fell like rain DER her face.
Poor wanderer my own griefs forgetting.
l sooihed, and in deeds more endearing,
Befrended the sorrowing one.
And / felt that the poor creatures blessing
To me was more worth possessing;
Than all else under the sun.
For it taught NC that NOT selfish sorrowing,
And trouble in future oft borrowing,
Would best please my Father above.
That the humblest on his footstool moving
May do something the time well improving
To prove that his teachings they love.

Thus the city is cheated of its just revenue.
Let toll-bar be put up on each street, 50
that none who use the streets shall escape
the per capita. Then we shall have fund
sufficient for parks and all other improve
ments, and property may be entirely released
from taxation. Ha f
There is another way that we suggest
which we think is a little more brilliant let
the per capita be made universal, and the
proceeds put at interest, and the interest
compounded. Any one who has ever seen
the calculations of the accumulation of COM
pound interest knows that in time this fund
would absorb the entire capital of the world.
When it had reached that point, let il be d.
vided among the people Of Cincinnati and
make every man, woman and child a mill
lionarel All the modern discoveries in sci
ence and nature seem insignificant, COM
pared with these methods of making people
rich out of their own pockets without their
knowing it.

The Daily Courier.

This long-expected Breckenridge paper
made its appearance yesterday. 1t is hand
some in appearance and is filed with that
solid political pabulun on which the young
American Caesars grow great, and of which
so large supply is regarded necessary at
this time.
The Introductory is in good taste, and
states with the most admirable gravity that
the Courier win be devoted to the advocacy
of the ancient and time-honored principles
of the Democratic party-the creed of the
Democratic Fathers-which, to the peril of
the country, are sought at this time to be
thrust aside and new and untried dogmas
substituted therefor
Nothing could be clearer than this, and it
gives assurance that the promise of the edi-
tors TO "endeavor to conduct the Courier
with gravity" will be fulfilled.
The Enquirer has had but little competition
for the Democratic fayors for many years.
Two papers have been started within about
fourteen years, but have lived but brief
existence, and one journal seems to have
been the fixed allowance of the great Demo
cratic County of Hamilton. The quantity
has been insufficient to preserve the ascend
ancy Of the party, and there have been
various fallings away until the political
control has chiefly passed into other hands,
and at present the party is by no means
harmonious. The addition of another
journal to the cause will probably restore
the harmony and the ascendancy of the
party in this county and city.
The Courier proposes to conduct its part of
the contest with the dignity becoming to a
public journal, avoiding petty personalities
involving private action and private charac-
ter" spirit which we welcome to the Jour
nalistic fraternity.

The Union Test.

The opposition papers profess to be any,
Ious that the same questions should be put
to Mr.. Breckenridge, as were put to Mr..
Douglas, at Norfolk, whether the election of
Mr.. Lincoln, without any overt act against
tne Constitution, would be cause for Sc
cession. 1t would be proper that the ques-
tion should now be qualified by the charac-
ter that Mr.. Douglas then ascribed to Mr..
Lincoln's pelitical opinions. Then the uues-
tion would be, would the election of Mr.. Lin
coin, whose "opinions are hostile to the
Constitution end the safety Of the Union .
and By whose success "the Union and our
glorious Constitution are put in peril be a
sufficient cause to the South to secede from
the Union2
By giving these attributes to Mr.. Lincoln,
at Norfolk, Mr.. Douglas put the question
which he answered, in this shape; and this
isthe only shape in which his friends can
fairly claim that it should be put to Mr.
Breckinridge. 1t is our impression that the
answer Of Mr.. Breckenridge will be prompt
and emphatic, and very different from that
Of Mr.. Douglass and that he will say that
when this Government passes into the con-
troll of majority who are hostile to the
Constitution and Union, both viii have
ceased to exist, If the people have right
to change their form Of government, and a
majority shouid elect an administration hos
tile to our present Union and Constitution,
it would be a singular occupation for Mr.
Douglas, to exercise his professed hangman
taste, to bind the minority to a Union which
the majority and the Administration are
spDosed to. ~ n \ -
