As we entered, the office the other
dsy, we heard the remark that 9
was dead" "What was the matter with
him!n we enquired. "Thea Detarl'fa@
tpemens,'' was the reply.
So another victim has been claimed
by the demon incompetence! Another
lofty intellect has been crushed by the
destroyer. In the prime of his man
hood, just as he had passed the halfway
station of his life, the fiend met him :
batled for the precious life, and conquer
ed. The existence given him has. been
thrown away, as one would cast aside q
worthless bauble; and the mind that
might have shone forth in useful works
of art, and been benefit to his brother
man, has been crushed by the intoxica
ting cup. Life has been but a madden
ing dream to him but it is over now,-
IKE enemy hps conquered! there will be
no more contentious, no graphing with
temptation, He's at rest-sleeping W til
the pale nations of the dead. Soon he ]
be forgotten by the restless, and thought
less world yet few will remember him,
but that remembrance will be stained
by the thought that in the prime of his
days he has persisted, and from his own
excess. Each day we hear of some man
who has crossed the demons trail and
fallen before his stroke. On his altar,
thousands are inundated; homes made
desolate prisons filed to overflowing.--
But the world rushes on as blindlv, year
after year, as when first he erected his
place of sacrifice. Who can hole to
stay his ravages? who will step be,w3en
him and his victim?
Laws have been made aud proved
failure. The tide, stayed for a time, has
always broken down the arricr, and
swept again with restless force over the
world. Who can find the panacea for
this evil /? that which shall destroy the
fend that never sleeps, but is ever on the
watch to enter our doors and snatch bis
prey. 1t matters not to him how treas
ured that victim may be; his remorselsss
and relentless breast feels no. pity for
tears, and broken hearts; for tifesides
made desolate; for the fatherless ones,
driven forth to battle for the crust that
shall prolong miserable life; for the
doomed one, as he stands upon the scat
fold; for the wife who clngs to the loy-
ed one of her maiden days; for the moth
err upon whose breast he WAS first fond
led and cherished for the father upon
whose knees he was landed For all
these tears and signs the fend turns not
aside-cares net If the world is drenchcd
in blood. 81

THE PRINTER AND THE
TYPES.

Perhaps there is no department of en-
terprise whose details are less understood
by intelligent PEOPLE than the art preser-
vative-the achievement of the types.
Every day their lives long they are ae-
customed to read the newspapers, to finel
f.ult with its statements, its arrange
ments, its looks-to plume themselves up
on the disco, erv of some roguish and ac-
robatic type that gets into frolic anl
stands upon its head, or of some word
with u waste letter or two in it but ofthe

B 1t there is something to u m r,
wonderful still. When we lick at the
hundred aud f ty little boxes that com.
pose printers case, noiseless except the
clicking of type as one by one they take
their march 10 glowing lino-we think
va have found the marvel of the art.
Strewn in those little boxes are thin
paralielograms of metal, every one good
for something that goes to make up writ
ten language; the visible footprints of
thought upon the carpet of rags, &
We think how many fragments of fan
cy there are in the boxes; row many at
ons of poetry AMI eloquence the print,r
can make here, and if be only had a it
tie chart to work by, how many facts il
small handfulls, how much truth in

III the words u-ed by the respective legis-
lative bodies, because the language in
which they are framed shows too plainly
to be misunderstood the degraded condi-
ton of this unhappy race" And again;
eve refer to these historical facts for the
purpose of showing the fixed opinions
con corning that race upon which the
statesmen God save the mark ] Of that
day spoke and acted. 1t is necessary to
do this in order to determine whether the
general terms used in the Constitution Of
the United States, rs to the rights of
man and the rights of the people, was in
tended to include them, OR to give to
them or their posterity the benefit of any
of its provisions"
Again he says; "No one, we presume,
supposes that any change in public opin-
on or feeling in relation to this unfortu
maize race either in the civilized nations
of Europe, or in this country, should in
duce the Court TO give to the words Of
he Constitution a more liberal construc-
ton in their favor than they were intend
ed to bear when the instrument was fran
ed and adopted"
And then for these reasons, he goes on
and opens the judgment on the demurrer
In the Circuit Court, (Which was dissent
ed to by justices Wayne, Nelson, Grier
Catron and Mel can, FIVE out of niue)
reversed that judgment, and decided that
Scott could not maintain n suit in the
State Courts of Missouri, Twas this point
before the Court nor in the Federal
Courts, and that he (ScotD is slave be-
cause his ancestors were, and was not

This be had to do to make Democratic
decision. This is the decision that Doug

IN THE MOONLIGHT.

Into the moonl ght pale and dim,
Side by side they trod
Her heart was filled with love ofhim,
His with the fear of God.
Came spirit tempting to sin;
Sadly urged wereShey-
She stood up with her love within,
He knelt down to pray.
Died the words on his heated EIs,
His fear OF God was gone
The light that led him was in eclipse,
But hers the brighter shOne.
Glanced he upward in her eyes,
Came back all his lost control
The truth was clear--loye purifies
Fear vitiates the soul.
Out Of the moonlight pale and dim,
Side by side they tod
Saved We're they by her love of him,
Not by his fear of God.

re- Colonel Jones and Major Smith
would occasionally get on spree, and
their frolics were often protracted until
late at the night On such occasions
their pleasure was frequently damped by
the thought of their wives at home, who,
like Tam O'Shanter's good dame, sat
nursing their wrath to keep it warm
One night, after having kept up their
frolic until late hour, they returned
home, when Colonel Jones found his
wife waiting for him with eountenance
that foretold storm. The colonel,
whose face had never blanched before an
enemy, quailed before the righteous in
dienation of his better-half. Instead of
going to bed he took a seat, and, resting
his elbows on his knees, with his face in
his hands, seemed to be very completely
absorbed in grief, signing heavily. and
uttering such EXPLANATIONS as Poor
Smith! Poor fellowp His wife kept ST.
lent as long as possible; but at last, over
come bv curiosity and anxiety, inquired,
IN a sharp tone, stWhat's the matter
with Smith? '-"Ahw saysthe colone'

The Aroostook Herald says: We heard
a conversation the other day between q
Breckenridge man aud an old Democrat,
who ayowed his intention Of voting for
Lincoln.
I've always been Democrat, and I've
been reading and studying, and I've come
to the conclusion that the Democratic
party don't stand where it did in 1850,
aud I'm going 10 vote for Honest Old
Abe

CHARLES DICKENS.

1t is no small thing to say of an au-
thor's works, though thoughtless people
say it every day: his creations. 1t is as
much as to say, that he Las added two,
or three, or more, by the mere power OF
his genius, to the number of the human
race; that they have sprung beneath his
pen, into life and individuality; that he
has exercised The divine faculty of crea
ton.
Dickens has done all this; he has
made new tenants for the universal heart !;
new objects of universal detestation; new
themes for tears, and new proyocatiyes OF
smiles. We feel q Altaaaa interest 10 bis
characters: we know them very well
when we are done with them; some of
them we manufactures of them we
feel to be real, and think we should know
them wherever we might meet them.-
And these individual experiences attest
the Authors power. We may find fault
with his phraseoloey, aud so we might,
because day does not break in the west
but there are the living children of his
heart and brain, linked TO us by all MIN
ner Of human sympathes.
There are those who do not admire
Dickens. but we venture TO assert that
thew are those who do not admire lu-
mainly off from the carpets and out up
on the bare floors of this great caravan
sary of earth. Going into the haunts OF
wretehedness and night, or mixing with
she struggling aud unnamed crowd, he
extrcatcs from obscurity true heroes IN
Iinsey- woolsey, or he shows US vice in its
own native deformity, or he lifts into the
light, many a pearl of purity, that we
take close to our hearts despite its rags,
and mourn when dead, and see array
ed in white, and consorting with the
Ange's.
Dickens in his way-and it is no bad
WAYS great preacher. The tenden-
cy of his writings, is to give us more
heart, more soul, more sympathy; to
render us happier and more grateful, for
i. is not everywhere true, that zone touch
of Nature, makes the whole world king
We can remember when Dickens was
sneered at because he chose to wear
red waistcoat and somewhat of tasty
neckerchief, and when certain people
were wont to denominats him "a swell,
which signifies, we suppose, somebody
with considerable pretenson, and tncon-
siderable merit; man ola number of
words but a very sorry amount of true
feeling. How miserable the judgement,
inasmuch as it is now demonstrated that
there is no need of a larger heart on this
narrow cape of life than beats, under any
G ,lored waistcoat Charles Dickens may
choose to wear.
We should rejoice, for our part, to
know that his novels-if people will per
$ st in calling them severe introduced
into every household; for we can find
many volume with a graver name, and
as didactic as an old fashioned school
manual, that might well make room for
them.-B r. Taylor.
