A SpRirUALIsrIc Row.-It appears We have
disturbed the serenity of the "circle" at Man
haitian. While Cora Hatch is enlightening and
enlivening the Gothamites, less personages
than John Bunyan and Benjamin Franklin visit
this " insignificant" "circle" on the extreme
border of civilization. Surely we could be
charged with ingratitude. But like attracts
ike" and Notwithstanding John Bunyan was
once in the "Sough of Despond." we cannot
think that either he or Franklin could be attrac-
ted to the Five Points. However. it is a slur on
Ben and John to apply such rule of attraction
in this case, and is but evidence OF the Grail
ness Of he who asserts that there is any like !"
in this country or in our day to attract either OF
them. Our IGNORANCE of the laws of attraction
constitutes only an optical difference. All the
attraction we can see about it is from the crazy
house to one Of these circles" Like attracts
like" Spirltualism fills our Lunatic Asylums
% does Rum our poor houses and jails. We
again urge that the State Lrnatic Asylum be put
in order Or We would rather that this mon
strous humbug and infatuation be crushed out.

About Rings.

There are few people who take no inter.
est in the subject of rings. We all love
them-they seem, as a gift, so natural and
touching an emblem of another's affection /:
Of all the familiar objects of domestic
life, it may be remarked, none are so init
mately connected with our deepest feelings
and most cherished memories as rings.
The spousal ring touches the chords of all
that is noble and elevated in either sex it
is " the enchantment of human life," call
ing up devotion and chivalric tenderness in
man, and mellowing the kindly impulses
which draw the maiden to all that is good,
into the most intense and self-denying love
for one. Friendship and departed rela-
tives leave their mementoes with US in
rings. Who cares for ring that has no
fond memory clinging to it2 The whole

Death Of "BelI smith,

From the Cincinnati Commercial, o:tober l.
The death of Mrs. Louise Kirby Piatt,
wife of Col. Dom Piatt, and daug hter of
Timothy KIRBY, Esq, which was announced
in the city journals of yesterday morning,
gave shock Of painful surprise to thou
sands. In her death society loses one of
its brightest ornaments, and American lit
erature gifted contributor She was best
known in the literary world as "Bell
Smith," over which signature she some
years since wrote a series Of charming
essays, her pen adjoining and making in
teresting all she touched, that first appeared
in the Home Journal and we're speedily
reproduced far and near. Her letters from
Paris, enriched with observations on the
society and scenery of the city, vivid and
sparkling with bumor and wit, were COL
lected and published in a volume, well
known az "Bell Smith Abroad"

A SMALL German baron-small in i'm
portance, not in stature had occasion, as
It seems, to see Baron Rothschild of Frank
fort. The great financier was writing away
for very life when Baron x. was announced
He did not even lift his eyes, but said,
"Take chair, SIR" The baron, with true
German LONELINESS about titles, said, "Sir,

THE late MARQUIS of Waterford, of Ire
land. was in the habit of riding in the Sec
ond-class carriages of the railroad in his
vicinity. Such a course very highly dis
gusted the proprietors, and they resolved
to cure the marquis, as they said, of his
eccentricity. Accordingly, on one occa.
sion, as he was sitting in a second class
carriage, a sweep, who had previously been
in third-class compartment, was invited
out, and placed by the marquis's side. His
lordship Immediately got out and purchased
first-class ticket, on delivering which to
him the clerk laughed, as if the company
had gained victory. But Lord Water
ford quietly returned to the train, gave the
first-class ticket to the sweep, gravely es-
corted him to his place of honor, and then
resumed his place in the second-class car
riage, from which the proprietors never
again sought to remove him.

Treatment OF Servants.

By Mrs. Stowe IN October Atlantic.
As to the terms of social intercourse, it
seems somehow to be settled in the minds
Of many employers that their servants owe
them and their family more respect than
they and the family owe to the servants
But do they1 What is the relation of SER
want to employer in domestic country ?
Precisely that of person who for money
performes any kind of service for you.
The carpenter comes into your house to
put up q set of shelves,-the cook comes
into your kitchen to cook your dinner.
You never think that the carpenter owes
you any more respect than you owe to
him because he is in your house doing
your behests he is your fellow. citizen.
you treat him with respect, you expect to
be treated with respect by him. You
have claim on him that he shall do your
work according tn your directions, no
more. Now l apprehend that there is
very common notion As to the position
and rights of servants which is quite diff
ferent from this Is it not common feel
ing that servant is one who may be
treated with degree of freedom by every
member of the family which he or she may
not return? Do not people feel at liberty
to question servants about their private
affairs, to comment ON their dress and ap-
pearance, in manner which they would
feel to be an impertinence, if reciprocated2
Do they not feel at liberty to express dis
satisfaction with their performances in
rude terms, to reprOve them in the pres
ence of company, while yet they require
that the dissatisfaction of servants shall be
expressed only in terms of respect? A
woman would not feel herself at liberty to
talk to her milliner or dressnaker in Ian
guage as devoid of consideration as she
will employ towards her cook or her
chambermaid. Yet both are rendering
her service which she pays for in money,
and one is no more made her inferior
threby than the other. Both have an
equal right to be treated with courtesy.
The master and mistress of a house have
a right to require respectful treatment
from all whom their roof shelters; but
they have no more right to exact it of SER
wants than Of every guest and every child,
and they themselves owe it as much to
servants as guests.

toned whether as whole they would do

The "Press'' Story on Gilman.

The Press tells an amusing circum-
stance" which occurred at Lake City, dur
ing an address by Hon. JOHN N. GILMAN.
A "lady" sprang to her feet and cried out
in shrill voice:
Iwon't listen to you any longer-you've
told more than fifty lies in the last twenty
minutes" and she marched down the whole
length of the room to the door. Reaching
this point she turned around and gave Gilman
another "piece of her mind The audience
was composed two. thirds of Republicans. She
addressed them as follows: q" You ought to be
ashamed of yourselves to sit there and listen
to such lies. If was a man wouldn't let
him talk so. You ought to follow my example
and leave the room at once"
Admitting the truth Of the story, on
which does it reflect the severest, the
"lady" Mr.. GnMAN2 Let the reader
imagine his wife or daughter in the posi-
ton of this "lady" for moment.

FoRNEY's Press (Repub.) copies the
above, admits the truth Of the figures, and
then tries to prove that they are not
caused by ABRAHAM LINCOLN and his abo-
lition policy. FoRNEY says Mr.. LINCOLN
did not commence the war;. and, ",oithom
dishonorimg the country could not end the
acar." Now this is precisely what the
Democracy claim. High prices result
from the war, and LINCOLN cannot end it
Aoaorably.a Why? Because he has SO
committed himself to an abolition policy
that he can only end it by disunion.

Is vanished with the closing day;
And it's as far beyond our grasp
Its now departed hours to clasp,
As to recall the moment bright
When first creation sprung to light.

Some beams of sweet and soothing thought
If it has left some memory dear
OF heavenly rapture tasted here,

Although it ne'er return again
