neighborhood. The majority did not choose to
grow melons, therefore nobody should have
them. Even to have a select party at mar
riage, was considered ant-democratic, and when
called, the conservators of democratic equality
would even disturb the party and spoil the feast.
Sometimes they would steal the turkeys or
chickens out of the oven while the welded cere-
mony was going on, and kill the cat and dog
and put them in their places"
Now this is not liberty, but licentiousness
and deserves the gravest rebuke. 1t is, as Mr..
Barker says, democracy run mad and we agree
with him that persons who act in the manner
above stated, are disgrace to democracy. He
adds in conclusion:
81 claim the right to have my own tastes and
to consult them to have my own associates
and friends, and to prefer their society to that
of all the world to have my own parties, to
keep the door of my own house, and to protect
my own family; and when cannot have those
rights, have no desire to live. And consid-
er it my duty to oppose, to discountenance all
such rude interference with my rights wherever
] meet with it."
Mr.. Barker is himself thorough and uncom-
promising democrat, and is well known as an
English reformer; and we are sorry that his
Western experience should be so unfavorable.
1t should be remembered, however, that West
ern society is not yet settled, nor fully cultiva-
ted, and we have no doubt that all these dis
cordant and disagreeable elements will soon
fuse themselves into refined civilization.

WESTERN MANNERS.

Joseph Baker who has lived some years in
Ohio, writes letter to the Investigator, in
which he complains of the tyranny of democra-
cy in the W est; and if a tenth part of what he
alleges be true, it is high time that our friends
out yonder should improve their manners and
practices. 1t by no means follows, because we
have the happiness to live in Republic, that
we should, therefore, be rude and unmannerly,
or that we should pique ourselves upon such
negative qualities in order to show our freedom,
and right to do as we please. And it is partic-
ularly offensive when this alleged fright" is ex-
ercised in such a manner that it interferes with
personal liberty and family arrangements. No
people can have any such right, and we have
never before heard it claimed by any but by
European and Asiatic despots. And yet ac-
cordng to Mr., Barker, it is rife in the West.
He says that sin some parts of Ohio people
consider it inconsistent with democracy for per-
sons to have select parties at their houses. They
contend that every man has right to go to any
party, and that to send out invitations to par
ticuar individuals, instead of giving general
invitation to all who may choose to come, is to
play the aristocrat; and it is considered neces-
sary to break up or prevent all such select gath
erings. 'Onc man is as good as another say
these ultra democrats, and all inyidious dis
tinctions must be put down. They carry mat
ters further even than this. A man is not con-
sidered to have any right to give his children
a better education than the children of his
neighbors. lie must send his children to the
common schools, and to the common schools
alone. To have teacher in his own house, is
aristocratic. Nay, more: young men are not
considered to have any right to have special ac-
quaintances or friends. They must be equally
free and friendly with all, and especially init
mate with none. Young men must not even
have particular tastes or habits of their own.
They must conform to the habits and tastes of
their neighbors. 1t is pride, it is anti-demo-
cratic to refuse to drink, smoke or chew tobacco,
or refuse to curse and swear, or to go to church,
or to decline to do anything that the majority
do. A farmer is not considered to have right
either to dress, or talk, or act in any way ex-
cept as the majority do. The majority must
rule in social and private matters as much as in
public and political matters. No man has
right t.. protect his fruit, or even to grow any
fruit which others do not grow 1t was the
CUSTOM when we lived in certain part of Ohio,
for people to destroy every melon patch in the

BETTING.

"Burleigh," the racy New York correspon-
dent of the Boston Journal, tells the following
story of the u1isarta6ay of "betting on a sure
thing -
"a little incident occurred in New York a
short time ago that l will put in this place.
We have a noted gentleman in New York
whom will call 7. He is member of one of
the New York clubs Opposite to him was
another person who one evening sported an ell
egant diamond ring. 1t dazzled T. He wanted
it, but the owner seemed to care little to part
with it. Yielding at last to the importantly of
T., the ring was sold for the sum of $780,
1t passed to T., amid the titterings and sup
pressed mirth of the crowd which caught the
quick ear of 7. He knew that both the ring
and the purchaser were sold. I. said nothing.
The next day he called upon jeweler, where
he learned that the ring was paste, and worth
about S2j. He called for some real diamonds,
and among them found a ring not unlike the
ring of paste. I. made a bargain with the
jewelcr for the use of the real diamond, He
pledged 81 200, the price of the diamond. He
gave 800 for its use for a time He had
the paste removed from the setting, and the
real diamond put in its stead Thus armed, he
appeared among his associates at night -four
ished his ring, and seemed to be in very high
gee, to the astonishment of his chums, who be-
lieved he had been sold.
But the advantage was with 7. He talked
about fool and his money" &c.,-said if any
gentleman present had 81 200 ring that he
wished to sell for 5000, he knew where there
was purchaser to be found. Bets were freely
proposed that the diamond was not real They
were accepted. One man bet $1,000; so did
another and two bet $500 each and all were
taken by T. Umpires were chosen, the money
and the ring put in their hands, the test applied
and all said the stone was a diamond Of the
first water, and was not worth less than 81 200.
T. quietly put the $4,000 in his pocket and
went his way He carried the diamond back,
recalled his 81 200, paid for the stone, and with
the paste ring on his finger, went back to the
club at night. The man who had sold the ring
was at the club waiting. for he wanted to re-
gain the ring. He had sold it for fun, he
knew all the time that it was real diamond
he never had any false jewels-he could tell a
real diamond any time by its peculiar light
he would not do so mean thing as to cheat
his old friend land he knew that T. would
let him have his ring back. But T. was stud
born; said that the seller was cheat and now
that he saw the value of the ring wouldn't un-
do what he had done. AT length T. agreed to
restore the ring on the payment of $500, which
was joyfully paid. But the matter came out,
and all came to the conclusion that when "dia-
mond is to cut diamond" some one more plia-
BILE, and less sharp than T., will be selected for
the operation"

A WOMAN RECEIVERS $4,000 DAMAGES
FROM PARTIES WHO SOLD LIQUOR TO HER
HUsBAND.-A singular suit has just been deci-
ded in the Campaign (Ohio) County Common
Pleas. The action was brought under the "act to
provide against the evils from the sale of intox-
icating liquors" passed May l, 1854, the seventh
section of which gives to a wife, child, parent,
guardian, employer or other persons who shall
be injured in person, property or means of sup
port, by an intoxicated person, right of action
against the person who sold the liquor to the
intoxicated person. The plaintiff in the case
was Jane Brush, and the defendant Peter Law
son. Damages laid at twenty thousand dol
lars. The plaintiff set forth in her petition
that she was on the Doth OF April last, and now
is, the wife of one Reed Brush; that said Reed
Brush was and for long time hitherto had
been in the habit of getting intoxicated and
drunk, which was well known to the defendant.
That said defendant, well knowing the premises,
did, on the 29th of April last 1859, in violation
of law, sell and deliver to said Brush one pint
of whiskey, and with which the said Reed
Brush was made intoxicated and frenzied.-
That in consequence of said SALE and by means
of said drunkenness, and while in the state of
intoxication, said Brush did furiously seize an
AK, and without provocation upon the part of
plaintiff, with force and violence cut off her left
foot, whereby the plaintiff is now crippled
The defendant alleged that the manning, &c.,
fthe plaintiff was the result of a domestic quar-
rel brought about by her unchaste conduct, &C.
The Court ruled that the immoral character of
any one cannot reduce the rights guaranteed by
law to him. The law makes Reed Brush the
instrument of Peter Lawson, and the defendant
cannot claim anything more in this case than
if he had in propria persona thrown the ak
The jury after short consultation returned
verdict for the plaintiff assessing her damages
at five thousand dollars.

POETRY.
MY MOTHER.


Oh! how loved her! though my heart
At times resisted her control;
In every dearest wish and thought
She rcigned the idol Of my soul.
/ grew beside her. year by year,
Graceful she said, and fair and tall
Her words to Inc were sweet and dear,
And memorys leaf retains them ALL
Oh! hov Ilored her! soft her smile
Shone all along the fowcry way
Der which bounded on, the while,
Thoughtless of death or Of decay.
Her bosom was my place Of rest
Her arms my refuge sure and dear;
Her voice could always soothe me best,
Her kiss could Danish grief and fear.
OH how loved her! heart to heart
And hand to hand she bore me ON,
Guarding me from life's every smart,
Until her own young life was gone
Ono day She drew me to her breast
Her cheeks were white, her look was wild,
Pale lips to mine she fondly pressed,
And whispered, 1--WE must part, my child"
Her words went crashing through my brain,
Went cleaving through my quivering heart;
And then like death in every vein,
Throbbcd that dread sentence, " W. must part"
oh bittcrest grief of childhood's years
Oh hour of blackness wrath and death!
Bitterly drenched and chokcd with tears,
Wild with vain cries, and pleading breath.
My mothers presence was to me
Like sunshine in dreaiy land;
What cooling water-sprngs would be
To one on Airic's burning sand.
OH how loved her! love her vet
Though from her grave a wanderer far,
My mother do not forget;
Her love is still my guiding star.
long for her and love her now,
When childhood, hope and youth are fed
And when her kisses warmed my brow,
As when she held my youthful head.
And when the earth is hcaped above
My head, and DER my heart is piled,
If spirits live and spirits love,
My mother shall embrace her child
