ANXIOUS TO SERvE.-A letter from Spripg-
field, Illinois, gives the following account
of the patriotism of the Sucker State:
I have seen enough within two weeks Of
the war spirit in the North, to convince me
that we are either nation of unexamped
patriots, or prodigious den of tigers. But
here, at Camp Yates, have seen, for the
first time. strong men weeping like children
because they have been excluded from the
six Illinois regiments, and others offering
a premium of $40, $50, and S25 for places
in the ranks of those regiments.

ORIGIN OF THE INcu.-The British inch
had its origin, says John Taylor, high au-
thority, in the measurement Of the earth by
the founders Of the Great Pyramid. They
determined with great exactness, the pro-
portion with which the diameter of a circle
bears to its, circumference, aud having as
certained the measure fthe circumference
of the earth, supposing tito be perfect
sphere, they divided the diameter into 500,-
00O,0O0of units, which we call inches. This
appears to have been the origin of our inch.
The polar diameter Of the earth, according
to calculation, is equal to 500, ,40l, ,440 of
these inches, which measure so little ex-
eeeds the mean diameter Of tho earth, &C
cording to the ancents. as to require the
addition of only one thousandth part, to
render it, with all but mathematical pre-
cision the five hundred millionth part Of the
earth's axis Of. rotation.

Eighty years have passed, and more,
Since under the brave old tree
Our fathers gathered in arms and swore
They would follow the sign their banners bore,
And fight till the land was free
Half Of their work was done,
Half Is left to do

When the battle Q Is fought and won,
What shall be told Of your
Harkl tits the south wind moans-
Who are the martyrs down.
All, the marrow Is true in your children bones,
That sprinkled with blood the cursed stones
OF the murder. haunted t0wnl
What il the Storm clouds blow
What il the green leaves falR
Better the crashing tempests throe
Than the army of worms that gnawed below;
Trample them one and all
Then, when the battle is won,
And the land from traitors free,
Our children shall tell Of the strife begun
When Liberty's second April sun
Was bright on our brave old treel

RESPECT FOR THE AGED. = In ancient
Sparta, there was law which compelled
the youths to rise when an old person ap-
preached; to be silent when they spoke; TO
yield to them the path when they met them.
With us, what the law does not enforce.
decency should prompt US to perform. Re-
spect for the aged teaches such beautiful
moral that those who forget to practice it
themselves, can do no less than applaud it
in others An ancient Athenian was look
ing for seat at the Olympic Games but
the benches were already filed. Some Of
his youthful fellow-citizens called to him to
approach them, and when he had, net with
out much difficulty, complied with the in-
vitation, in place of welcoming him to a
seat, they only greeted him with coarse
bursts of derisive laughter. Pushed about
from one place to another, the gray old
man approached the place occupied by the
Spartans. These youths, faithful to the
sacred custom of their country, mOdestly
arose and gave him seat among them.
The same Athenians wac had so impudent-
ly mocked the venerable man, were the first
to recognize the generosity Of their COM
petitors; and the loudest applause burst
from all sides. Tears rolled down the
cheeks of the aged man, as he exclaimed
with enthusiasm: "The Athenians kaoo0
what is right; but the Spartans practice il !"
