Next to the dash, what q godsend to

choice word and confines it within points,

How much more classical and refined the
balmy spling looks thus: the balmy
spring" ot.
Marks Of quotation, when rightly
used, are not only proper, but necessary
and could not be done away-with without
great inconvenience. But is this any
argument for scattering them promiscu-
ousIy throughout page, without rule or
rsasoni for quoting the simplest words
evep to the primitive prepositions9 Ger
tainly not. Then why are they used in
this mannerl For various reasons
Some quote few words in their most
striking paragraphs to attract the eye of
the reader, who would otherwise fail to
discover them at all; some Use them to
cover select bit of slang which they
admire; some, to let you know of their
extensive reading, that they are familiar
with Shakespeare, Byron, Milton, Scott,
Cooper, etc.; others, to patch up their
own defects Ia sandwich; while others
use them without any wel!-defined reason
ut all ,-because it is fashionable, and
they must keep up with tho times.
And SO they do uso them, -marring
the page, plaguing the printer, and
confusin. tho reader-not to avoid pla-
giarism, for when it comes to taking a
whole article at a time, they havn't the
slightest qualm in appropriating it rs
their own; and who can write even one
sentence without using words in the
samo connection that hundreds of others
have done before-but it is done merely
to show up their literary merit, as though
the number of points writer used was
the criterion of bis abilities, or their ju-
dicious sprinkling in an article would make
amends for the lack of ideas. IRENE.

"How horrible il must be to see any
body one cares for, drunk; tho honest
owes dull and meaningless; the face and
figure, instead of being what one likes to
look at, takes pleasure to see in the same
room, even growing ugly, irrational, dis
gusting-more like a beast than man.
Yet some women have to bear it, have
to speak kindly to their husbands, hide
their brutishness, and keep them from
making worse fools Of themselves thnn
they can help. l have seen it done, not
only by working mems wives, but in
drawing rooms.

my husband the least overcome by liquor,
not drunk it may be, just excited, silly,
otherwise than his natural self, it would
nearly drive me wild. Less on my own
account than his. To see him sink
not for a great crime, but a ccntonpti-
hle, eowardy bit Of from
the height where my 'oye had placed
him; to have to take care and to pity

EIGHT GREAT BLUNDERs.-We give
below an article from the columns of the
Religious Herald, a Babtist paper, of
Richmond, Va. 1t shows so much more
GOODNESS Of judgment and candor of
mind than we are in the habit of finding
in our southern exchanges, that we deem
it worthy of special notice. 1t says the
South has made at least eight great blum
ders, and enumerates them as follows:
81. In firing upon Fort. Sumter.
90. In believing there would be n
divided North and an apathetic Feleral
government.
IS. In believing that they would have
the hearty sympathies of Europe.
"a. In believing that the bonds OF
their Confederaey would readily be taken
in Europe.
IS. In believing that the military
power of the North would be directed
in crusade against slavery, rather than
employment for the overthrow of treason
md the establishment Of the Union and
the constitution.
SO. In believing that northern cour-
rye and physique were no match fo-
southern, or that in battle one southerner
equaled five yankees.
~. In believing tLat the flag of tho
cotton oligarchy would wave above tho
Capital at Washington, and the roll OF
slaves be called on Bunker Hill.
%. In believing that the ancied ON
impotence of cotton wouid dominate the
commerce of the world"
