UNION OF PAR7TES IN OHIO.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-12-19

For SPoRTsMEN.-He is an explanation
Of fact which has puzzled sporting men
namely, why the left barrel of gun bursts
so much more frequently than the right2
The sportsman, on going out loads both
barrels, and on seeing bird rise, fires nat.
urally the right one; he reloads that barrel,
and when he again sees bird or hare he
fires again; and so be does perhaps twenty
times 10 succession. But each firing gives
a shock to the charge in the left barrel, and
at last the succession of shocks separates
the wadding from the powder aud shot; the
consequence is vacuum ensues between
them, and when the second barrel is fred it
frequently bursts. To prevent this danger
the recommendation is made that whenever
the right hand barrel is loaded, the charge
in the left hand one should also be rammed
down.

SELF CULTURE.-Every man is supposed
to desire TO improve his mind, but there is
point at starting worthy to be remem.
bered. Do not set for man of parts. From
that day your mind is in lost case. AS
lost as garden plot in which you attemp-
ted to pour cereals, vegetables, flowers,
shrubs aud forest trees all in one crop. Feel
that you know little; be content that others
should see that; ask questions which show
your ignorance; set about reading some-
thing solid-something that will enable
you to understand man, the earth, the sky.
Learn your own tongue; learn your own
world. Know not only its continents, but
its hooks; not only its nations, but its
tribes; not only its great systems, but its
scots. Learn history, ancient, modern and
ecclesiastical, any branch Of it, for all are
of man. Learn, in fact, anything that is
real, solid, useful: but learn it.

The Archbishop of Canterbury might have

Cold words to tell mothers doting love
That her old age was desolate indeed
That the proud stay Of her declining years
Was taken from her at her utmost need.
Brief words--yet It was terrible to feel
The bitter woe their scanty limits heidi
Small 10y It seemed 10 that small hourto know
The Geld was taken and the foe was queled.
Was IL for this they sent him forth in pride,
mothers blessing on his boyish head,
sisters kisses on his beardless lip
Thus TO receive him--yoiceless, cold and dea1
He was their all. perchance they loved him so
He went and now--0 breaking hearts be still
Columbias blessing on her bravest sons
Hallows the grave his precious form shall ILL.,
God bless him no deusive hopes Of gain,
No gttering glory lured his youthful eye;
Loving his country with boys proud love,
He thought it little for her sake to die.
And 30 he went--and thus they bear him home,
The crimson stain upon his golden hair,
The hush Of death upon the hero heart
The heart so eager then to do and dare.
And though ON earth no trumpet sound his fame,
Royalty angel harps in heaven shall tell
How, with his young soul full of holy zeal,
The bravs boy-patrot for his country fell.

COMMON PEOPLE HAPPIEsT.-It is the aver
age man who is most likely to have happy
and prosperous life. Great talents involve
great duties, great cares, great vcissltudes,
great peris. The man Of fair average abil-
ity enjoys the fruits of genius without envy
ing those who produced them. Books, pic
lures, inventions, wise laws, brilliant vic
tories, he admires and appropriates; but
not his is the long struggle after excellence,
not his the agony of interpretation, not
his the keen contest with rivals not bis toe
noble anguish of seeing error believed,
truth derided aud despised. lie takes the
world as he finds it, enjoying what is good
in it. and putting up with its unavoidable
evil, like Gothe's COW that cropped the con-
genial grass, aud when 1t came to thistle,
did not resent ito presence in the field, nor
complain Of it, nor try to tear it up by the
roots, but simply passed it by. We find ac-
cordingly, that medOcrty is The common
lot. Genius is the rarest of all the produce
tions of nature the Germans even aver
ing that Homer, Shakespeare and Gothe were
the only three men of genins that ever
lived. And even a we'll marked talent, or
any considerable superiority of understand
ing, is extremely rare. MediOcrity being
the lot of nearly all the people 10 the worlde
how fortunate that medocrity is also th,
best chance for happiness in the world.
