The Louisville Journal of October 1st,
thus speaks of the political sentiment of
the people Of Kentucky and Tennessee
"The Nashville Press, a conservative pa
per, has a judicious article in favor of the
kentucky platform We are glad to see
this. We have no doubt, that, whenever a
civil election shall take place in Tennessee,
the contest, if there be a contest, will be
made by the whole body of the conservatives
upon the Kentucky platform, by general
consent 1t is the platform of doctrines
which the great mass of the Union men of
Tennessee, in spite of the industrious exer-
ton of abolition influences, warmly and
heartily approve, and any fair or even half
fair election will prove this fact. 1t is i'm
portant, highly important, that Tennessee
and Kentucky stand together, it is highly
and equally important to both, and therefore
we are glad to feel the utmost confidence
that there will be no doubt or misgiving or
hesitation on the part Of either as to the
ground, which, in standing together, they
shall occupy
Conservative Union Conventions in New
York. Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania and per-
haps other Eastern States, have adopted the
Kentucky platform, and we trust to see the
same thing done in all the loyal States. This
platform, if not the only one, is certainly
the best, upon which the whole conservatism
of the nation, in opposition to radicalism on
the one hand and disunion on the other, can
unite. Partisan violence and rage for as
cendancy may lead some sincere Union men
in the loyal States to take position for a time
on one side of this platform, and some to
take position for time on the other, some
deyiatng in the direction of Republican
ism, and some in direction of opposition to
the prosecution of the war for the suppress
sion of the rebellion, but we trust that all
Of them will soon see, that, in united eff
fort to establish the principles upon which
the government of the country shall be con-
Quoted, their truest, wsest, and most states
manlike policy will be to take the Kentucky
platform as the common battle-ground against
all enemies.
We would not, except perhaps as a choice
between great evils, advocate the election of
any man to the Legislature, any man to
Congress, any man to the Governorship, in
any State, or of any man to the Presidency
of the United States, who repudiates the
Kentucky platform"

Morrissey of pugilistic fame. Upon learn

banker to furnish a substitute for him, who
must be 5 feet IL inches high, weigh 1873

a Famine Scene.

All through November the south wind
poured steadily up through the Kyle, and
filled Ronaldsay with mist and gloom. But
IN the first week in December, when the
days were getting towards their shortest,
the north wind came down, drove the mist
away, and invested the island with a cold,
cruel, merciless beauty. Under an inexora-
bic brazen sky, every crag came out clear
and sharp as crystal, every cataract was
turned into a glacier, every little spouting
burn on the hillside into beautiful ice pal
ace. The lochs were frozen three feet thick;
but the curling stones lay neglected under
the bedplace and the faded ribands upon
the handles only served to remind the young
men of the merry risks last year, before the
potatoes rotted and left them all starving
The old folks died first. That was as it
should be. One could not complain of that
one might envy them, but one could not
complain They had had sixty years of this
sort of thing and it was hard if they were not
to enter into their rest before the misery grew
to its full head The loss OF the dear old
faces at the freside was very sad, and the
hearts Of those who were left behind starv-
ing ached sorely but God had taken them
from their misery, which grew more terri
bic as the winter went on, and He knew
best Then the children began to die, and
this was very bitter-very, very hard to bear.
The bonny barelegged little things, who had
done no wrong; who padded in the surf,
that made wreaths of those internal potatoe
flowers, and called them the lilies of heaven.
This would not do to think of. To be lock-
ed up here in an island in the Atlantic, with

things happened in Ronaldsay and Lewis,
and not in Manchester and Birmingham
Twas a weary Halloween for the poor souls.
The men who dug the graves noticed that
day by day the frost got deeper into the
earth. The fishing lines froze like wires,
the blocks refused to run, the sails were still
as boards, and the women who YEARLY, with
blue fingers, Knocked the limpets off the
rocks, to save themselves from starvations,
began to notice that even the salt water in
the little pools among the rocks was begin
ing to freeze. and they came home and told
the men, and the men lost heart, and went
no more fishing. How could they Did

laid in the bed-places. And then they
began to die, Yes The Oldest of the able
bodied men began to lie down, and to fall
asleep in strange, quiet way. Perfectly
happy, perfectly calm. They would lie for
day or two, and at last give over speaking.
In the morning they would be found quiet

BULLYING THE WoRLD.-Don't try to
bully the world 1t doesn't pay. Whoever
enters the ring for a rough-and tumble fight
with Public Opinion, is pretty sure, even
tually, to be "doubled up" Society is a
Briareus, and who but a madman, would
think of encountering hundred armed fell
lows with single pair of fists Better
shake the multitudinous hands of the giant
good naturedly, than unnecessarily provoke
him to wrath. Despise the world, if it SO
pleases you-though to do so is proof of
arrogance, conceit and egotism-but as you
have to live IN the world, to lean on the
world, and cannot get along without the
world, it is just as well to treat it civily-
Shrewd men, who understand their race,
never seek a quarrel with society They
ol.et PO5zroIv IvI al rIv,Is ~
ual to persuade, lead and quietly control
community, but not to fight it down. If
you desire to reform social evils, or to dis
abuse your fellowmen of their prejudices,
the surest way not 10 succeed is to resort to
denunciation and abuse. Kindness, coneil-
iation, the influence Of good example-these
are the true aud effective means and appli-
ances of reform. Provoke the world, set its
will IN arms against you, and you can never
carry your point, be it what it may. For
mankind has more power to resist, than any
unit of the mass has to insist. With what
mildness, with what patience, with what low
ing kindness Christianity was taught by its
Sacred Founder, and his knowledge of hu-
man nature was more profound and perfect
than that Of any mortal. The Evangelists
and the Apostles besoagh the world to hear
them: they did not attempt to JrOaobeat it.
"Almost thou persuadeSt me to be a Chris
tian, said Festus to Paul 1t would be
well if some Of our modern reformers had
the courtesy and wise consideration of that
great apostle. Whether your object be to
do good to the world, or to make the world
of service to your own interest, don't assault
it violently, for it is too strong and too OBJ
stinate to be carried by storm. Ishmel
tried that plan, and it did not answer. Thou
sands have tried it since, and been worsted
in the conflict.

Nil DEsPERANDUM.-Under this title
the Richmond "Examiner" contends that
no rebel territory has been conquered by the
Federal Government. 1t says, "if we ad-
NIT that they have conquered one square
mile of it, they will soon have it all, and us
along with it." 1t still claims Mississippi,
Kentucky, and all of Virginia. If Robes
pierre had possessed the philosophy of this
editor, he would never have allowed his
head to drop into the basket after it had
been cut clean from his shoulders by the
guilotine.

The Pyramids---How Built.

Herodotus, who visited Egypt 465 B. c.,
gives us some account of the herculean la
Dor there performed. The stones were
brought from the mountains on the opposite
side of the valley of the Nile The first work
was great causeway or road over which
these enormous stones could be transported.
Ten yenrs, he says, one hundred thousand
men were employed in this part of the work.
After the building of the road came the lew
cling of the rocky hill the cutting out of the
subteranean chambers, and the elevation of
the huge masses of stone. This, says the
same writer occupied three hundred and
sixty thousand men twenty years longer.
the first layer Of stones were easily put in
their places the second were elevated by the
aid Of machines or derricks. Then, as the
heights of the mass progressed there were
series Of broad steps, corresponding to the
number of layers of stone,; as the work pro-
ceeded, these machines were planted along
the ascent and the stones elevated from step
to step.
Such is the structure that we have come
to examine, and which now stands before us
in all its huge proportions. What an i'm
mense labor What countless years of hu-
man toll ! What story of crushing despot-
ism and hard earned slavish servitudel-
But they are built and here they stand, and
here they have stood for thousands of years,
defying the wasting hand of the barbarian,
the storms of the desert, aud the lightnngs
of heaven; looking down in proud contempt
upon the fierce conflicts of human passion,
and conquering nations have come to deluge
with blood, and heap with carnage those
beautiful plains above which they lift their
lofty heads -LraelHe
