PORTE CRAYoS.-D. H. Strother, famil-
iarly known by his nom de plume Of :. Porto
Crayon," the sprightly author and artist who
was married about year since to one of the
cousins who figured so largely in his illus
trated tour through Virginia, has been rep
resented to be serving in the rebel army as
commissary. 1t appears, however, that Mr..
Strother, though Nirginian born, and a
resident of his native town, early devoted
himself to the Union cause, and is now serv
ing on the Potomac under Gen. Banks
Since Mr.. Faulkner's release from Fort War
rem he has been guilty of the vendalism of
setting FIRE to Port Crayon's cottage, de-
stroving valuable collection of pictures
and other works Of art.

PRAISE AND BLAxE.-Praise is exceeding
" grateful to human nature. 1t is an ac-
knowledgement of certain bodily and mental
excellencies which are possessed by the per-
sons to S=hom the commendation is addressed.
1t is useful in a moderate degree-the excess
alone is injurious. Praise brightens our
prospects and exhilirates our feelings; it is
like the cheerful sun on the harvest day,
which encourages the laborer. But blame
is like the gathering clouds of a winter even
ing. which darken and perplex the foolish
wanderer. If praise be carried to the ex-
treme, it becomes flattery if blame be car
ried farther than it ought, it becomes scan
dal-and both are unjust
