The Origin of Beauty.

When the eternal mandate was uttered
that our first parents must leave for Eden,
sadly they turned to leave their bright
abode.
Eve gazed upon the flowers, her earli.
est and latest care, the tall trees with their
golden fruit, the sparkling fountain, the
river winding between hill and valley, the
birds whose plumage had delighted her
eyes, and whose song had lulled her to
repose at night and awakened her to fresh
scenes of lovelineSs at morn.
nolight She had brought sin, wretch
edness and sorrow into the world, and all
that was lovely in life was passed, and all
that was bitter to be endured was in the
future.
She turned to Adam and for the first time
in all her misery, remembered that she
was not alone, she had at least one human
friend.
Then there beamed upon her face pure
light, radient smile in which was min
ged all of woman's faith. all her forti-
tude and devotion as she exclaimed, 4,
"Thank God, we got forth together"
The angel at the gate beheld that look
of marvellous lovciness' that Triumphant
smile and sighed; he knew that such
beauty was too high boon to be bestow'
ed upon human being.
Far better for Eve than when next she
should see her face in the fountain, il
should be that ola sin-tempered, suffering
woman, that a joyous spirit, for it would
remind her that henceforth her lot, and al
her daughters, was not to triumph but tC
endure.
But the angel stole that heavenly eX
preston from the face OF our crring moth
er, as she left the bowers in Paradise; h
wove it with the last rays of the sun she,
over the home so lately unsullied by sin
and occasionally he filings the eterna
vesture over m ortals upon their entrance
into this world, thereby giving them a
faint shadow of Ewes loss in Eden, and
thus we have the origin of beauty.

..CORRprLiCnls,H -

The vocabulary has by abolitionists
been searched for GiSgraceful epithets to
apply to Democrats. By common con-
sent, the term copperhead, was finally
adopted by the Abolitionists, as the most
expressive Of their contempt Of the DEM
ocratic party, Abolitionists gave US tho
name. We did not take it, however, as
hard as they anticipated. Instead ofquar-
reling about name, we accepted then ename
furnished us by our amiable abolition
neighbors, and so proud were we of the
cognomen that the copper cent used in
old times for money was brought into re-
quisition for badges; our opponents
squirm at our audacity and presently we
hear the military authorities are brought
into requisition to compel Democrats not
to wear copper badges. Only think of it.
The Abolitionists say We are oopperheads.
We admit it, aud the energies of great
| Government are about to be welded
against us for the admission.

GREAT Loss OF SuEEP,-We are in
formed that Mr.. Daniel Ropping of this
place has lost four hundred sheep out Of
a flock of SIX hundred since last fall. The
disease which attacked these sheep and
produced this great mortality, is supposed
to have been caused in the fall by turning
them into damp meadow land, where they
filled themselves with frozen grass. 1t
can be accounted for in no other way, as
there are several thousand sheep kept in
this neighborhood by different individu-
ais, and they have done exceedingly well,
the loss on an average not being more
than one to the hundred. From this We
must infer that sheep require dry land for
pasturage.-Anokd { MINI Republicans
