cotton boat Marion, from Georgetown, when

with a shot across her bow from that fort.
Not paying any attention to this, and not
satisfactorily answering verbal summons as

however, did no damage. This had the de
sired effect. When her character was ascer-
tlined she was allowed to proceed.

That Diabolieal Parson.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT In common with the
high-toned Southern gentry who, yesterday,
through the columns of the Express, express
ed their Indignation at that blue belied
parson who dared to apostrophize the FLAG
OF OUR UNION, feel outraged. What right
WASHINGTON would have put down treason
and traitors? What does he know about q
man born as far South as the Potomac
Don't we Southern chaps from Oberlin and
further North know that every Southern man
is a secessionist, excepting of course every
man who is not Don't we Connecticut
&outhrons who have not yet shaken the oats
which we used to sell for shoe pegs, out of
our trowsers' pockets, know that Southern
born men have placed their honor in our
keeping? OF course they have; and We,
therefore, in their name, protest against all
complimentary mention, much less penegyric
of the UNION. Have we not been taught to
believe that it is League with Death-a
covenant with Hell2" Now that that dis
tinguished Southern Yankee r. Barnwe
| Rhett has adopted the same creed, must we
not as true men, of the Oberlin-South stripe.
bring all our chivalry to bear against it ?
Nothing less can be expected of US; and we
therefore throw down the gauntlet and defy
all comers who dare to say or sing anything
about the enforcement of The Constitution,
the union of hearts. hands. lands, the Star
Spangled Banner, or any other such obsolete
twaddle. Away with lackadaisical parsons
who talk of national memories and endeavor
to arouse the fires of patriotism in the breasts
ofall They commit crime against nature a!

EGG INsPEcToR.--In view of the fact that
we have have had Flour Inspector, that
we have Whisky Inspector, Salt Pork
and Beef Inspector, and are about to be
blessed or burdened with Lumber Inspec-
tor, writer in the San Francisco Times
proposes that the Legislature create the Of
flee of Egg Inspector" He suggests that
all eggs offered for sale shall be inspected,
classified and stamped, and shall be marked
No. l, 2, or 3, to represent their qualities as
"fresh, ""stale," or "addled," and each egg
shall be at least four inches in diameter and
free from cracks. Considering that unsound
eggs are frequently sold to the unwary
public as good or fresh, and the people are
thus cheated ont of their money, the Office
of Egg Inspector may be necessary to pro-
tect them in their rights. unless purchasers
shall conclude to examine the articles for
themselves.

How Music Is MADE UP.-The following
ingenius and beautifully expressed thoughts
upon the sources of music are from the pen
of Taylor, of the Chicago Journal:
1t is curious thought, that the great
translatOrs Of the dialect of heaven-ihe
Mozaris the Handels and Jubals of all time
have caught their notes from the ham
mers of Tubal Cain, or the murmur of run
ming streams, or the wind signing among
the reeds, or the songs of singing birds ;
that, should there be bird convention, up
en- summers day, by q flowing river, near
a ringing forge, and some masterpiece that
has rolled tone of melody through mighty
ministers, we're performed. its author would
be pronounced a faithful listener, "Only
this and nothing mOre."
How the robin would claim its warble,
aud the brown. thrush recognize its own /;
the bell-note, Robert 0'Lincoln would catch
up and repeat. aud the quail whistle back
its little share of the song The soft sigh
ing winds would echo tone now and then;
the stream, through the reeds, murmur on
its own the hammers beat out the battle
like strain, and the rain on the roof wash
away q whole bar Of "the score" So when
the anthem was ended it would all be drift
ed, like down of the thistle, back to nature
and labor again. The lark would go up
with carroll, and the little grOund.sparrow
fly away with note, and the music be scat
tered abroad.

Gone from the worlds temptations,
It's sorrows and its strife;
Gone from the tolls and trials
That make n war of life;
Gone from these thorny earth-roads
To Heaven q shining track
The loved ones who have left us,
Oh would ye call them backY
Conc, with their dreams Of beauty,
Where beauty never dies;
Gone with their joyous spirits.
Where tears ne'er dim the eyes,
Gone with their earnest lOngings
Where faith Is lost in sight
Would ye call them from such noon-tide
Back TO the shades of nghU
Gone from our tender keeping,
Which yet was all in vain;
Gone from our fond affection
Which could not spare them pain;
Gone from their friends so loving,
To One who loved them more
Why mourn when they are happy
Upon the spirit shoreS
Gone from all fears Of evil
Gone from all thoughts ofill,
Gone from CareS heavy burdens
Meath which we murmur still;
Gone from the cross Of anguish
The promised crown to wear
Shall they cast aside its glory,
The weight again TO bearS
Gone from the weary striving
Gainst wOrldliDess and sin;
Gone from all outward tempters
Gone from all foes within;
Gone where their spirits pinions
Are ever free 10 sOar-
Oh, would ye draw them earthward
10 wear LIES chain once m0res
All, though our hearts are aching,
And though our tears will fall,
We would not, in our weakness,
Our loved and lost recall.
We leave them with our Father,
Whose goodness we adore,
And pray that we may meet them
Where we shall part no more.
