ARlsTneRAeY In pnLI1Ics.

1t is somewhat curious that the candidates
of the Union party should encounter the same
objection drawn from their humble origin, both
among the secessionists of the South and the
Democrats Of the North. Andrew johnson
it will be remembered, referred in his Nash
vile speech to the opposition which had ever
been arrayed against him in that city. He
addeI giving the remark wider application
This aristocraey hated Mr.. Lincoln be
cause he was Of humble origin--a railspGtter
One of them, the private secretary of Howell
Cobb, said to me one day, after long conver-
sation; We people Of the South aviH not sub
NIT to be gOUerned byG man aohO has come up
from therarks Of the common peopLe, as. Abe
Lincoln has He uttered the esseptial feel
ing and spirit of this rebellion
We find the same spirit too prevalent ut the
North. When Mr.. Lincoln was nominated
for the Presidency four years ago, an opposi-
tion organ in this city described him to is
readers as ga coarse, uneducated man about
ffty-two years old" When the Baltimore
nominations were made tbs other DAY, the d
Y. World spoke of Andrew johnson as "a
boorish tailor from the backwoods," and char.
acterized both nominees as men Of neglected
education and coarse, vulgar manners" To
this pink OF propriety, probably an aristOcrat-
ic rebel, though descended from the transport
ed eonvicts among the early settlers of Vir
ginia, would seem more endurabe than our
plain, homely, honest champions OF the nations
cause. Very well, every one TO his taste.
But those who agreed so well with Mr.
Howell Cobb's private Secretary, and with
as Mr.. johnson says: "the essential feeling
and spirit of the Southern rebellion" ought
to go openly to the side of their allies, where
their aristocracy will be better appreciated
than it is among the loyal masses of the Nortl
who, we may add, have an unconquerable lik
ing for these "men of neglected education,
that have made their way so gradually to hon
orabIe and henefcent distinction.

HUMAN LIFE.

M. Robin. an eminent French chemist, in
paper recently presented to the French
Academa, gives prescription TO r lengthen-
ing human life, the efficacy of which he argues
very learnedly. He. says that "the mineral
matter which constitutes an ingredient in
most of our food, after the combustion, is left
in our systems to incrust and stiffen the differ
snt parts of the body, and to render imper-
feet many of the vital processes. He com
pares human beings to furnaces which are
always kindled; life exists only in combus-
ton, but the combustion which occurs in our
bodies, like that which takes place in our,
chimneys leaves a detritus or residue which
is fatal to life To remove this, he would ad-
minister Tactic acid with ordinary food This
acid is known to possess the power of remov-
ing or dissolving the incrustatiens which form
on the arteries, cartilages and valves of the
heart As buttermilk abounds in this acid
and is, moreover, an agreeable kind OF food
its habtual use, it is urged, will free the sys-
TEN from these causes, which inevitably cause
death between the seventy-ffth and one hun
dreth year" Doubtless Methuseleh lived
largely upon buttermilk. At least, we donOt
remember that we have ever seen it doubted.

dark. He requested the Adjutant to go away
and leave him, as be was attracting the fire of
the enemy in that direction, and was only en-
dangering his own life and might cause them
all to be killed.
The enemy, now attracted by our efforts TO
remove the wounded, commenced pouring over
and around them d constant and terrible fire,
and shot one OF the party attempting to get
them off, killing him instantly. To go TO them
BOW was almost certain death, not only to
those attempting it, but also to the braves
who lay weltering in their gore.
No further effort was made until night
As soon as darkness covered the scene, par
ty was sent out for their bodies As they
approached the spot they were halted by the
rebels from behind their works. They immedi-
ately laid down. One of the more bold now
advanced, when he was again halted. He
spoke to them and said, "GentIemen. we
have come after our dead can we have the
privilege of taking them away?" Permission
was granted, and the party advanced to the
spot where our brave comrades lay; not suffer
ing from pain and want OF attention, but
Wrapt in tie arms of death. Poor ClasoD
had received two additional wounds, and had
bled to death. His arms were folded and his
things carefully laid around him. Maj. Yager
had also received two or three additional
wounds, and was found holding his hand above
his head, as if to ward off the rays of the
burning sun. Patrick had been dead several
hours, and was already blackened. and had
commenced to decay.
They all died at their posts, and are noble
sacrifices upon their country's altar, to save
the best government upon earth. Their loss
is not only keenly felt by their friends a: home,
but by all their comrades in the 12lst, all of
whom have sworn an additional oath to aVenge

The Boston Herald, by far the most popu-
lar Democratic paper in New England
counting it's subscribers by hundreds when
others have but their tens-coues out for
Lincoln and johnson. This is political
event OF much Significance.
The Lawrence Journal, well-known Dem
ocratic paper, published in New Castle, Law
renee CO., Penn, has abandoned the Democrat
ic party, and hoisted to the masthead the
names of Lincoln and Johnson-the Union
candidates for President and Viee-President.
The Oshkosh, (Wis) Democrat formerly
Democratic, has also hoisted Lincoln and
johnson as their candidates.
The La Crosse F,ederlandet, the leading
Norwegian paper in Wisconsin, supports Lin
coin and johnson. On whom are the Cleve
land nominees to rely for support?
Since the Baltimore nomination, some TWEEN
ty Democratic German newspapers have repu'
dated conservatism, aud Fremont, and come
out for Lincoln and JOhusOn.

THE CAVALRY HORSE.

The cavalry horse is quite as familiar with
the long lists of varying trumpet signals as the
rider himself; he stops instantly when the
signal for halting is sounded passes from a
walk to trOt, from trot to gallop, with
out requiring any reminder from spur or rein.
If his rider fall in battle, or lose his stirrups,
he stops in a moment, and waits for him if
he remain lying on the ground, he stoops his
head, smells at him, and when he ascertains
that there is no hope of his remounting, makes
his way back to his troop, wedges himself in
his place in the ranks, and shares afterwards
in the movements of the rest. Music has an
amazing influence over him. If an air be sud-
denly struck up, you will see the worn-Out and
mortally tired horse raise his sick head prick
up his ears become animated, and move
briskly forward to the front.
During halt, or when quartered for the
night, the cavalry division stretched out on
the ground, lies sleeping confusedly together,
iumbled mass, which it would be impossible
to disentangle; man and horse side by side,
the rider using his horse as pillow, or rolling
himself beside it to shield himself from the
cold, the faithful creature seldom changing the
position it has once taken. II it did so, it is
with the greatest precaution +; first it moves
its head and legs, endeavoring gently to free
itself; then it raises or turns itself very slowly
and carefully, so as not to trample upon or
disturb those who surround it. If the halt
take place when the ground is vet or frozen
the rider will gladly force his horse to one
side after it has lain down awhile, which by
that time is warm, if not dry.
The most afectionate relationship exists
between man and horse, as the result of their
thus living together. The animal seems to
understand everything connected with his
rider be knows his masters step, his peculiar
ways knows how to seek him out from
among others is faithful, disinterested CON-
panion and friend to him, and has this advan'
tage over many another good comrade-that
he does not grow weary even of suffering for
| him,

WEAR A SMILE.

Which will you do, smile and make others
happy, or be Grabbed, and make everybody
around you miserable? You eau live among
beautiful flowers and singing birds, or in the
mire surrounded by fogs and frogs. The
amount of happiness you can produce is in
calculable, if you will show smiling face, a
kind heart, and speak pleasant words. On
the other hand, by sour looks, cross words,
and fretful disposition, you can make hun
dreds unhappy almost beyond endurance
Which will you do? Wear a pleasant coun-
tenancs, let joy beam in your eye, and let
love glow on your forehead There is no joy
so great as that which springs from a kind act
or pleasant deed, and you may feel it at night
when you rest, and at morning when you rise,
and through the day when about your daily

THE SIMPLE SECRET.

Twenty clerks in store-twenty hands in
a printing ofice-twenty young men in a viii
lage. All want to get along in the world, and
expect to do so. One of the clerks will rise
to be partner, and make fortune. One of
the compositors will own newspaper, and be-
come an influential and prosperous citizen
One of the apprentices will become a master
builder. One OF the villagers will get hand
some farm, and live like patriarch. But
which is destined TO become the lucky indi-
viduaI? Lucky? There is no luck about it.
The thing is almost as certain as the Rule of
Three. The young fellow who will distance
his competitors, is he who masters his business,
who preserves his integrity, who lives cleanly
and purely, who never gets in debt, who gains
friends by deserving them, and puts his money
into saving bank. There are some ways to
fortune that look shorter than this old dusty
highway. But the staunch men of the COM
munity, the men who achieve something
really worth having, good fortune, good name
and a serene old age, all go this road.

Come home to die Oh must it be,
With bright laurels on his brow?
For Freedoms cause tits thus we see,
So many TO deaths scepter bow.
Sadly they bore him to the tomb,
A hero brave, twas touching scene;
Come home TO m eet deaths doom
For three years in the war he'd been
Friends, mourners, lingering here,
Think Of his spirits bright repose;
Brief, glorious was his young
Wounded lighting Freedoms foes.
Above him waves the whispering leaves.
The dewy tear drops on his grave,
Weeping if ever nature grieves
Over fallen hero brave.
Only few have now returned,
OF our gallant 4th, who left
Three years ago. We're they required
To leave their friends in grief beTeft.
Ny heart grows sad as I think of those
Who sleep in a sunny cline,
Or where KanahWa's water flows
Untouched by the hand of time,
The crimson current often flows,
While wounded soldiers strew the ground;
Groans that tell Of human woes,
From hill and dale the walls resound.
HearthstOnes robbed OF idols dear,
Mothers mourn their only son,
Sisters dread the news to hear,
Lest brother from their arms is torn.
There are deeds that pass not away,
And names which live forever;
Though Empires fall with Just decay,
These must not, cannot wither.
May our flag no longer be
winding sheet for a fallen son;
Our banner wave DER the home of the free,
Peace restored and victory won.
