VOLUME &c,
Too Many Such.

A young girl, by family circumstances
of some other popularity, bad but few
social opportunities. She fell into habits
of excessive self inspection, and morbid
sensitiveness to criticism. With good
gifts, and refined tastes, and careful cul-
ture, she began to grow conscious of
kind Of superiority to most of those about
her. But the absence of living sympathies
fostercd reserve and taciturnity, SO that
few found outor appreciated her real at.
tainments. While her own standard Of
character was rising, others ceased to care
what as Indifferent and naughty spirit
might know or be. Presently sense of
injustice began to spring up in her. Each
new requirement only seemed to separate
her more and more from her neighbors.
Even her equals failed to appreciate tho
hidden merit. Gradually, as years went
on, silent resentment was kindled. Tenn.
per was little soured. Speech grew sar-
castle. Judgment grew bitter. She re-
venged herself for neglect, by withdraw
ing further and further from the world.
Those Of her own sex We're alienated. And
as to those of the other--to tell the truth,
as YOU, young men will confass--they were
q little frightened. Very few men value
criticism enough to marry it, And so,
every way, society loses, in the person of
this fine, capable young woman, an orna.
ment and strength. Her exfstanoe for
feits its beauty, and misses the glorious
charm of making others happy. more
unselfsh beginnings genuine love for
making somebody good of wise-the over
sight ofa few poor children anything that
would have expended the heart and turned
self out of doors, would havo made this
whole trnasury of talent and education d
noble contribution to the living wealth Q:

NOTHING LOST BY CIvILITY.-A gen.
tleman who has filled the highest munc-
psi offices in one Of our cities, owed his
elevation to single act of civility.
A traveller, on hot summers day wan
ted some water for his horse, and perceiv.
ed we'll Of water near the read side, turned
his horse up towards it. Just then lad
appeared, to whom the stranger addressed
himself, saying
"NIy young friend, will you do me the
favor to draw me bucket of water for my
horse, as ! find it rather difficult to get of
and on 7"
The lad promptly seized the bucket,
and soon brought supply of water
Pleased with the cheerful temper and
courteous manner of the youth, the trav-
ellcr inquired his mind, that the name OF
the lad and the place Of his residence were
remembered by him for several years af-
terwaFds, when the traveller had occasion
for clerk. He then sent for this young
man and gave him a responsible place,
from which he rose to the chief magistraey
of city.

a@rThe vast majority of the American
people are determined to stand by the Con-
stitution and defend it, with blood and
treasure, against Northern and Southern
foes, They are determined that the
victory in this war shall be the victory Of
the Constitution and the laws, and to that
end they arc determined that the Consti-
tuition shall be respected, as Washington
taught, and as all the long line of patriots
down to the present day have taught

an attack on the constitution, he may re-
gard it as an attack on the Union To

FATHER AND SoN.---"As the old cock
crows the young ones learn" A good
story is told of certain man and his wife
who We're almost constantly quarreing.
During their quarres their only child "a
boy) was generally present; and, Of course
heard many Of his fathers expressions.
One day when the boy had been doing
something wrong the mother intending to
chastise him called him and said
"Come here sir; what did you do that
for 7" The boy, comblacently folding his
arms and initiating his fathers manner,
said"

GCoNCLUDED NEXT WEEK. !

A CosTLY SHINPLAsTDR BLuNDER.-
\ saloon keeper.in Clovelane, Ohio, in the
scarcity OF change, conceived the idea
of issuing tickets ''good for one drink" to
regular customers, when he couldn't
change their money, In printing the
tickets the printer made a mistake, as the
saloon keeper discovered to his cost, after
distributing large amount of them. The
ticket read, ''good for one dr"nk., A
number of two-fated drinkers, who got
hold of some ofthe tickets, have been in
dulgin in a series of drunks ever since,
greatly to the pecuniary loss Of the "s@-

Miscellaneous
President Lincoln's Statement
of the Cause of the War.

President Lincoln, in the recent confer
ence with certain colored people, TO whom
he recommended emigration, stated the
origin of the war thus;
"See our present condtion-the coun.
try engaged in war, our white cutting one
another's throats, not knowing how far it
will extend, and then consider what we
know to be the truth-but for your race
among US this war could not have an exis-
tence, although many men engaged in it
on either side do not care for you one way
or the other. Nevertheless, repeat, with
out the institution of slavery, and the COL
ored race as basis, this war could not
have an existence"
! Here is an important statement coming
from very high official source. 1t
amounts substantially to this--that but for
the opposition to slavery on the one hand,
and the defence of it on the other, we
should have no war. But as Mr.. Lincoln
holds that the Constitution guarantees sla-
very in the States which use it, he there
fore, practically says that, except for the
action of those in the North we were dis
satisfied with the Constitution, the efforts
of those in the South, were disposed to
break up the Union, would have been ut
terly powerlcss.
From Mr. Lincoln's statement inevita-
bly, flow the consequences Though sla.
very may be said in one aspect to be the
cause ofthe war, it is constitutional, and
we cannot abolish it without breaking the
Constitution But if we bcrak the Consti-
tuition, which is the fundamental bond Of
Union-the Union will no longer exist
The question is not one about the morality
or justice Of slayery--that is point which
those who maintain it must settle for them,
selves. As citizens of the United States
we are solely concerned with its constitu-
tonality. If it is constitutional, as the
President is understood to grant, then We
cannot destroy it against the will of the
people in the States where it exists, with
out destroying the Constitution, and thu
destroying OF annihilatipg the Union.

FAYoRITEs.-"I have ever found"
says sensible writer, "that men who are
really most fond of the society of la
dies, who cherish for them high respect,
nay reverence them, are seldom most pop
ular with the sex. Men of more assur-
ance, whose tongues arc lightly hung, who
make words supply the place of ideas, and
place compliment in the room of sentiment,
are the favorites. A respect for woman
leads to respectful actions towards them |;
and respect is usually distant action,
and this great distance is taken by them
for neglect and want of interest"

Wave high o'er the Union forever,
Till secession shall stain 1t no more
While hearts, who dread tyrants would sever,

That points to the truth Of the sky;
Though earth, by tornadocs be rivcn,
