A Free Fight, both political and
literally, is described in CaIifornia
paper, in which one Of our old Texas
friends is made to figure. The az
fair is thus graphically described:

Egerton, Cristeuden, Bradley, a Gus

last, not least, promineu. Bulk
head log-rollsr, all go. slightly tight,
and from discussion finally came to
blows. The Senators sailed in first,
and had it ever and under, and it
didn't appear to make any particu-
lar difference who got hit They
we're separated; but the Custom
house officer and the Bulkhead man
who were looking on. somehow fell
heirs to the fight, and continued it
for come time, calling to their aid
the tumblers, decanters. vine glasses
and any loose things about. Final
ily, one of them got hold Of the sods-

tims in trying to wrench it up to

The BRAVE MAN.-Tbe truly brave
man is he who is not afraid to do what he
esteems right, under any and all circum-.
stances. He acts upon principle, andanot
upon the impulses of the moment. Whilst
in the exercise of prudence, he will never
run heedlessly into dangers; yet, when an
object commensurate with the probable risk
is to be attained, he will never hesitate to
face every contingency in its accomplish
ment. There is great difference between
rashpess and bravery-under the infu.
euce of the former, the man who has but
very little real moral courage, may perform
actions which will give him great reputation,i
and stamp him hero among hisfellow-men,s y
whilst the man who is really endowed with:
the latter may pass quietly and calmly
through life without creatiugany particular
excitement, or even gaining the need Of
praise to which his virtues really entitle
him..
The truly brave man will most generally
be found modest and retiring; not given to
boasting or ,bravado, and be will always be
calm, self.possessed and generous; he will
not hesitate to do Justice to his adversary,
even though it should initiate against his
own interest. He does not fear the frowns,
nor court the smiles of the world; in the
discharge of the duty of life, he does not
ask the question, 'What will the people
say?' but ask his own conscience the simple
query: lis what am about to attempt
right and honorable ?'-Momtgomery Flag.

LORENZO DOW.

The following taken from the 'Autobi'
ography of Dan Young embodies good
description of this singular man and his
general appearance
while at Lynn the eccentric Lorenzo
Dow put up with me several days ; his ap.
pearance was grotesque, his beard long and
patriarcbal, and he attracted the attention
of all persons, who crowded to see the won
derful preacher. His clothes were excee.
dinghy coarse and rough. He preached
several times with good effect. He was
not learned, but very intelligent By ex'
teusive travelling, much preaching and close
observation, he had acquired fund Of
knowledge which made him extremely in
teresting in conversation, and his deep piety
was very edifyiug I considered it hap
py circumstance that I had an opportunity
of forming an acquaintance with one whose
extensive labors and great singularity had
excited so much public attention. I pre-.
sumo particular description of his person
would be acceptable to the reader, as such
has never yet been given. In height be
was nearly six feet, in form fragile and
his limbs small, and his body slen der; yet
he appeared healthful, and as having a
constitution for endurance rather quick and
active in his motions his complexion was
light with intelligent blue eyes, light brown
hair.
He had strong mind and quick appre.
hensiou; with strangers he was cautious
and reserved, but with friends he was quite
affable, frank and communicative, and when
his reserve was thrown off it was great
treat to be in his company, and his conver.
sation was quite interesting and edifying.
1 will here relate an anecdote of him, which
will give some idea of his appearance and
disposition. jesse Lee made an appoint
meut year beforehand for Dow to preach
at Lynn, and told Bro. johnson, very
wealthy and distinguished member of our
church, that be should send Bro. Dow to
put up with him. When the day of his
appointment had arrived, Bro johnson was
looking down the street for him, and saw
him coming up, and waited at his door till
he came opposite, and beckoned with his
hand, and called out, 'Hallo, Bro. Dow,
stop herep and stepping quickly to him,
gave him his hand very cordially and said,
BRO. Dow, am very glad to see you; get
off and come in
you have the advantage Of me-, said

A WONDERFUL MIRRoR, >:


Among the curiosities to be met with in
the Paris exhibition was a huge concave
mirror, the instrument Of startling species
of optical magic On standing close toit,
it presents nothing but magni6cently
moustrous dissection of your physiognomy.
On retiring couple Of feet, 1t gives your
own face and true proportion, but reversed,
the head downwards. But retire still fur
ther, stand at the distance Of Eve or SIX
feet from the mirror, and behold you see
yourself, not redectien-it does not strike
you as a reAection-but veritable. SELF
standing in the middle part between you
and the mirror. The efeetis almost appal-
ling, from the idea it suggests Of something
supernatural so startling in fact, that men
of the strongest nerves will shrink inyolun-
tarily at the first view. Hyou raise your
cane to thrust your other self, you walssee
it pass clean through your body and appear
on the other side; the figure. thrusting at
you the same instant. The artist who first
succeeded in fashioning a, mirror, Of this de-
scription, brought to one of the French,
kings-if we recollect Alright it was Louis
XV-placed his majesty on, the right spot,

at the figure he saw. The.king didso; but
seeing the point of the sword directed at his
own breast, threw down bis weapon andran
away. The practical joke cost heinven.

majesty being afterwards so ashamed Of
his cowardice that be would never again

PUBLIC MEETING AT ROCK
HTT,T,.

A portion of the citizens of York District,
having met at the Methodist Church, in
this place, to take part in the proceedings
of the Indian Land Agricultural Society,
the occasion was deemed a suitable one, to
enable the Delegates to the late Richmond
Convention to give an account Of their stew
ardship. Accordingly, Capt. John Massey
was called to the Chair, and Thomas j
Eccles appointed Secretary. The object of
the meeting was briefly explained by the
chairman when the following resolutions
we're offered by the Hon. R. G. McCaw ::
l. Rcsolyed, That the course pursued
by our delegates to the late Richmond Con-
vention, meets our hearty approval, sustain
iugas they have done the platform of princl-
: plies ofthe Charleston Convention, and endor-
sing the nomination made at Baltimore for
the Presidency and Vice. Presideucy-those
distinguished patriots and Statesmen, John
c. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane.
2. Resozued, That the nomination of
Messrs. Breckenridge and Lane, made in
viudication and defence of the vital right
of full protection in the Territories and
Southern property, demands, and has our
most unqualified approval.
8. Resolced, That in the union of if-
teen Slave States, in the making and sup
port of said nominations, on the great and
fundamental principle of the equality of all
the States, we recognize an invincible bar
rier against the sectional antagonism of the
Northern States.
4. Resozyed, That we hail the unanimi-
ty and harmony which prevailed at the late
Richmond Convention, as the harbinger of
that more perfect union and concert of &C.
ton which should characterize all of the
people of the South, should it become ne
cessary for her to dissolve her present po-
litcal connection, and assume among the
nations of the earth, the position of sep
crate and independent Confederacy.
Col. Cad Jones, Chairman of the York
Delegation, and Maj. R. A. Springs, being
present, the former responded at length in a
plain, conversational style, we'll suited to
the theme, and to the occasion. Col. j.
had no fraternity with the Charleston Ma
tionaz Couventon-to Richmond he was
accredited, and the result of his mission
there, with that of the entire Delegation, of
this State, was due to their constituency,
who he was proud to know had already en-
dorsed their action. 1t is not intended
here to follow the speaker throughout. He
commenced by remarking that in this State,

The WORLDS CHANGEs.-Hi is sad but,
instructive that I'VE live in a world @of
changes. From the cradle to the grave,
the evidences of this painful truth are ever
impressing themselves onthe mind. OF all
the varied objects that twine themselves
round our hearts in youth, how few cling
to it in mature years!-how few of our
precious hopes are not wrecked and borne
away on the restless waves of change -
Yet, sad as are the other objects of change,t
it contains in its full quiver, one arrow mora
keen and deadly than tae rest. When he
whom for many long year we might
grapple to our soul with hooks Of steel
whom we have cherished sas our hearts
core, ay, in our heart Of hearts -meets us,
with cold and averted gaze; when the
eye that used to beam on us with a tender
and mellow lustre, no longer, return our
glances-and the face Of him who, was dear.
est. to us wears sthe look of stranger
then has change done its work for'us, and
we can smile at its yisitations. Itis
hard to lose our friends by separation-and
yet more painful and solemn is it to lose
them by death, but still we lose them as
friends-we lose them while afectionis
reciprocal; and, asour spirits may still COM
mingle, their. memory Unpleasant, though
mourful to the SOUL But when the being
we love, lives and is estranged, there is, as
one has truly said, gap between us, deep
and wide, which we can neither ill up or
cross oyer. Then the past is desolation,
the present is bitterness, the future is a
blank, and the only anodyne the crushed
heart can hope to find, is the lethargy Of
forgetfulness, = Is

oh! Ellen, why did you not frankly tell
me this before? Do you think I, would
have urged my pitiable claims against your

perfect-too distant for one so unworthy
ever to reach, but yet the angel whose mem
ory will beckon me to higher hopes, nobler
aspirations. God help me, Ellen ; while
near you there is nothing cannot aspire to-
I can welcome sacrifice, welcome, even the
trial and anguish by which my souls
strength is tested. But when leave you,
must battle with love stronger than life,
with will that will not brook denial, with
storm of passion that listens to no reason J!
Alas why am I cut off from such aid
such encouragement?
BE true to your noble nature, Graham,
said Ellen, gently laying her hand on his
arm, with inexpressble kindness in her
voice. Stand frm-the day of passion
and fancy will perish. We are not living
in land of dreams, but of vital realities.
Be steadfast, plant your aims beyond the
reach of disappointment, and you will yet
understand the blessedness, the happiness
of life
No, Ellen when lose you, I lose eve
rything. Don't talk to me of happiness.
The future is blank to me. I do not
care where I go, what becomes Of me, and
now we part, forever-Ellen He stag
gered to seat. 'Give me one memory that
I may carry into my darkness, the sweet
sorrow, the bitter passion of this hour
Passing around his chair with all the
woman rising in her heart, Ellen lightly
touching his brow, and gently pushing the
clustering hair from his temples, said
Noble, generous Graham let me believe
the quick impassioned, fervent nature will
also learn to be calm, strong, tender and
true. Dear Graham she whispered, 'learn
that no love but the Heavenly, can exclude
the evils of our human nature. God bless
you, brother, and let these words prove how
a sister trusts you
He sprang to his feet the bounding blood
flushed warm to his face, dyeiug in crimson
to the very roots of his hair. His eyes
flashed in fire.

nv other nature forgets itself, and my pas
sion wildly claims the love I have forever
reuounced. Leave me; this struggle must
be alone said he, seeing her hesitate,
frightened at his sudden violence. And
then sighing,
