Our yVoadrOsss Atmosphere.

The atmosphere rises above us with
its cathedral. dome, arching toward heav
en-, of which it is the most perfect synonym
and symbol 1t floats around US like that
grand object which the Apostle John saw
in bis vision, ~ sen of glass like unto
crystal So massive is it, that when it
begins to stir, it losses about great ships
like plavthings, and swae, cities and for
ests like snow fakes to destruction before
it. And yet it is SO mobile, that we have
lived years in it before We can be persua-
ded that it exists at all, and the great
bulk of mankind never realize the truth
that they are bathed in an ocean Of air.
Its weight is so enormous, that iron shivers
before it like G ASS; yet p soap ball sails
through it with itupuuity, and the tniest
insect waves it aside with its wing. 1t
ministers layishly to all the senses. We
touch it not brt it touches us. It's warm
South winds bring back color to the pale
face Of the invalid; It's cool West winds
refresh the feyered brow. and make the
blood mantle on our cheeks; even its
North blasts brace into new ygor the hard
ened children of our rugged climate. The
eye is indebted to it fer all the magnifi-
cence Of sunrise, the full brightness of
midday, the chastened radiance of the
cleaning, and thu clouds that cradle near
the setting sun. But for it, the rainbow
would want its triumphant arch," and
the winds would not send their feecy
messengers on errands round the heav-
ons TIE cold wether would not shed snow
feathers OH the earth, nor would drops of
dew gather on the flowers. The kindly
rain would never fail, nor hail storm nor
fog diversity the face of the sky. Our
naked globe would turn its tanned and
u,,n.SH1lowed forehead to the sun and one
dreary, monotonous blaze of light and
heat dazzle and burn up all things
. Were there no atmosphere. the evening
sun would in moment set, and, without
warning. plunge the earth in darkness.
But the air keeps in her hand sheath
OF her rays, and let them slip but slowly
through her fingers; so that the shadows
OF evening are gathered by degrees, and
the flowers have tune to bow their heads
and each creature space to find a place
of rest, and to nestle 10 reposo. In the
morning, the garish sun would Mt one
b ,und burst from the bosom of night, and
blaze above the horizon; but the air
watches for his soming, and sends at first
but one little ray to announce his APP
proach. and then another, and by and
by handful. and so gently draws aside
the curtain of night, and slowly let's the
light fall on the face Of the sleeping earth,
TIL Der eyelids opon, and, like man, she
goeth forth again to her labor until the
evening.

The agitation OF the slavery
Question.

The Charleston Convention is con
vocation in which republicans have Meth
ar lot nor part Neither suggestion
whisper. nor breath can come from thai
source to determine the topics OF interest
or discussion in that body. 1t is what
its friends have been happy to claim as
national gathering without particle Of
sectionolisna about it. Now, in view OF
the fact that the democracy have most
industliousIy persisted in asserting that
the republicans are solely and entirely
responsible for the agitation .ofthe slave
~ question, and to them hlone is ito con
tnued agitation due, it would naturally
be supposed that if in this wide world
there was spot where silence on that
topic might be enjoyed, it would be in a
National Democratic Convention. But
the supposition would be most errone-
Gus one, nevertheless. 1ho reader Ct
the proceedings thus far Of that Confen
ton, will perhaps be in doubt, whether
instead of the proceedings Of such con-
yention he has not got hold of the doings
of Congress, or of some abolition conven-
ticIe in Boston or elsewhere, whose spec
ial mission it is to agitate the slavery
question, for certainly he would look in
vain for proceedings any where of any
thing. more brim full and running over
with tho discussions of that question.
We don't object to it. On the contrary
we recogaize itas inevitable, and trust i
it does not do something towards smoder
atne the assertions of democratic politi
Clans that the republicans are alone re
sponsible for the agitation of this ques
ton. it may do something towards dis
polling the belief of any candid.pcrson in
tho truth of tie assertion. And trust
zoo, it may further Lave its. effect TO des-
troy the capacity for evil of that small
class of owly politicians who pretend to
think that the salvation of the union de-
ponds upon stagnstion Oh this question,
and that therefore the democratic party
should be encouraged, - Mitwaukee Free
Democrat.

The Charleston Convention.

The trouble. and trials of the Conven-
ton at Charleston must have greatly
moved the pity of all good and tender
hsaited men. Those delegates, broth
ers by party ties, had many other Close
sfiinities. All wcro loud and noisy. All
were determined to have their own way.
All were moved by the same strong mo-
tives of personal ambition and personal
hate. Nearly every one was anxious TO
be the architect of the "platform." Not
withstanding these pleasing s'milar'ties'
thoy were by ne means happy family.
Like water and Gil, they would not
mix.
Sactionalism seems to have invaded
the Wanted National Democratic party.
What pity! Where now can the CON
servatires rest! Where shall the patri-
otic sn,,is Of the non-agltators mi q
peaceful political home?
Contrary to expectation the Csnven-
ton did finally proceed to ballot, and re-
pee ted that exciting but proftless exer-
else sixty two times. The Little Giant"
who was to be triumphanty nominated,
failed to receive that desirable distinction.
By the utmost efforts Of his friends, he
could get but 1921 votes, when 2O2 were
necessary to q choice. There seemed to
be a great gulf fixed between Douglas
and the nomination fer the Presidency.
The vote against him was scattered, Hun
ter receiving the largest vote of any OF
his rivals. The Convention finally adj
journed without making nomination,
and will meet again at Baltimore on the
9th of June. In tho meantime the Dem
ocratie party will be laying around loose,
no candidate, and worse than that, nc
platform. a

A DIFFICULT QUESTION ANSWERED.
Can ansbo'.y tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from ono of Adams ribs,
a hired girl wasn't made,at the same time
to wait on cr?-Er.
We eau, easily! Because Adam nav
.er came whining to Eve with q ragged
stocking to be darned, collar-string to
be sewed on, or glove to be msnded
fright away, quick, now?" Because he
never read newspaper until the sun got
down behind the palm trees, and then
stretched himself, yawning out, FAINT
supper most ready, my dear" No he.
He made tho fire and hung over the
tea kettle himself, we'll venture, and pull
ed the radishes, and peeled the bananas
and did every thing else that he'd ought
to. He MIXED the cows. and fed the
chickens, and looked after the pigs him
self. He never brought home half a
dozen friends to dinner, when Eve hadn t
any fresh pomgranates, and the mango
season was over! He never stayed out
until | o'clock to a "ward meeting,
hurrahing Tor the out-and-eut candidate,
and then scolded because poor dear Eve
was sitting up cryinginsde the gates. 10
be sure, he acted rather cowardIy about
the apple gathering time, but then that
don't depiec ate his general helpfulns
about the garden! He never Played bill
iards, nor drove fast horses, nor chokcd
Eve with cigar smoke. FL never loafed
around the corner groceries while solitary
Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at
home. In short, he did not think she
was specially created for the purpose OF
waiting on him. and wasn't under the
impression that it disgraced q man to
tighten his wife's cares little.
That's the reason that Eve did not
need hired girl, and we wish it was the
reason that noJe of her fair descendants
did.-Lite Ilastrotsd.

"LUrE TAYLOR, the editorial Ajax of
Pierce County, says the substratum of
the soil of that county is Republican hard
pan. We should think, Lutte, that your
statement, in geologico- poltt'co sense, is
correct. Since the vote of your county
each year, demonstrates greatly decreased
Republican majorities, your soil is no
doubt lard pan, and gerry hard pan, lily
adapted to the propagation of NulIitica-
ton Republican doctrines. Tho Sbang-
hal vegetables will soon die out in Pierce
county, and as there is plenty of good,
rich Democratic soil there, we expect to
note a heavy crop Of the real unterrlfied

that YOU should call us an "Ajar%' If

Il is "a curious fact that The paper most
earnestly deprecaiing the business OF pug
iisIn ard the present encounter, is Por-
ter's Spirit of tho Times, the leading
sporting paper Of the country. In its
last issue it ridicules the idea of raising
the fight of Heenan and Saysrs to the
dignity ofan international affair, and says
pugilism in general:
ssThere is no kind of combat so unfair
as pugilism. Two men of equal nerve
aud skill may meet on equal terms with
any kind of firearms, or the small sword
and even a slight disparity is equalized
by the chances of a sudden aim. Add
strength. aud broadswords or bowie
knives give the Ike opportunity to both.
