NIGnr.-Night is beautiful in itself,
but still more beautiful in its assocla-
tons. 1t is not linked, as day is,
with our cares and our toils-thc bust
ness and listlessncss of life. The
sunshine brings with it action VIC
rise in the morning, and our task is
before us-and night comes, and with
it rest. If we leave sleep, and ask
not of dreams forgctrulncss, our wax
ing is in solitude, and our employment
is thought. Imagination has throw
her glories around the midnight thu
orbs of heaven, the silence, the shad
ows, are stepped in poetry. Even il
the heart of crowded city, whcr
the moonlight falls but upon the pave
ment and roof, the heart would b.
softened, and the mind elevated annie
the lovcliness Of nights deepest an

WHAT Is "SpLURGE ?"-Rcv. DIR.
Cox has given the following, which, 1t
strikes us, well defines the term by IL
lustration The word "splurgc" is
coinage, probably, not yet in any
dictionary ; yet meaning, as II a great
rock of the mountain, dlslntcSratcd
from its summit, should rush and
bound, portcntous and avalanched, in
to a sylvan lake at its foot, there max
ing an uproarous splash, boring its
way through the parted and frightcd
waves, and after dashing the spray in
all directions, burying itself in for
gotten repose under congenial mud al
the bottom so gone forever iron
sight, from thought, from upper air
and all the ways of men thus mean
inc--the low aim of making a con
siderable sensation at least once il
society.

Well Put.

The Louisville Journal makes
GOOD point when it says : Last year,
when the United States Marines cap
turcd John Brown and his fellow trail
tors, who had seized the United States
Arsenal at Iarper's Ferry, there were
no objections raised to the employ
ment of Federal troops. Now, when
the United States Arsenal at Charles
ton is in the possession of private CIT.
liens, and Fort Moultrie is threatened
with attack, it is argued that 1t would
be tyranny and dcspotism to send
Federal troops for their protection"
The Journal might have found more
recent illustration of the same point.
But q few weeks ago, a fugitive Judge
from Kansas started the story that

Gen. Harvey was dispatched to tin
scene of action with several hundred
United States troops with instructions

patch from the President of the South
Carolina Convention to the Governor
of Louisiana and the Mayor of New
