With Christ for ere 10 shine
No land nor cline, no age nor time

Such manly patriot hearts, a. fall

And brother too, thy grief is great.
That noble form lays low;
That true and pure white brow is Scared

But look aoft to yon blue sky,1
And read the language there,
Those crimson bars-those peariy clouds,
Those sparkling gems in air.

is. Learned in the law, deeply read in the
classics, his mind finely polished by acquain-
tance with the literature Of England and
America, reading and speaking some Of the
languages Of continental Europe like his own
vcrnacular, it is evident he would not be
likely to suffer by comparison with almost
any gentleman in any company. BY the bril-
liancy Of his conversation, his terse and just
criticism on public men, his practical knowl
edge Of public affairs, the natural suavty Of
his manners, he is better calculated to fasci
nate ingenious youth and TO secure the gem
eral admiration than any gentleman in our
delegation--or any other, for that matter
In political strategy he is an accomplished
adept--"an adroit political gamester," as the
old Washington Union said about Mr. Grimes
in 1854. use the phrase, however, in a
better sense, not meaning to say that Mr..
kasson would resort to trickcry not fully jus
tilted by the rules and practices of politics.
Strategy is fair in politics as well rs war;
Those complain OF it most who arc beaten at
their own game therein. Mr. kassOn is an
admirable speaker confesscdly the first OF
our delegation in the House. His mind is
both clear and comprehensive, not annoyed
by innumerable details, not exhausted by the
most thorough examination Of an important
subject, or question Of vast import to many
interests. He will succeed, therefore, both
in the House and the committee room, and
reflect great honor upon his State.
Judge Hubbard, of the Sixth District, will
be, l think, the most popular man, personal
ly, Of any Of them. You only have to see
him to like him. Rather tall, Of q wiry build
with fine Roman countenancc and hair
like the driven snow, his appearance is worth
fortune to him. Many years ago he used
to cut stone in the land Of wooden nutmegs,
at six dollars month Here he is an hon.
ored representative Of large and intelligent
constituency, \ learned judge, fine impas
stoned orator and close reasoner, as plucky
as Old Benton himself, and as genial as Hen.

A Heroic Soldier.

The Cairo Neps has had related 10 il some
particulars Of an affair which took place in
the south part Of Williamson county, which
certainly borders upon the marvellous, and, il
true, has few parallels in history. The wife
Of an officer in tho army recently received
from her husband package of money, con-
tanning 500, portion Of which belonged to
the families Of soldiers living in the vicinity.
Early last week, soldier, lame and sick,
stopped at the lady's house, and asked per-
mission to remain all night. She refused
him, but he said he was too lame and tired,
to proceed ary farther, and, therefore must
stay. The lady finally consented, and upon
going to bed she took the prccnution to fast
en- the door Of his room. During the night
the family were aroused by o violent knock.
ing, accompanied with orders to open the
door The lady refused, and asked what
was wanted. Some one on the outside an
swered that if she did not want to get hurt
she had better open the door, or they would
break it down; She had lot Of money, and
they were bound to have it. As might be
threats, and opening the door OF the soldiers
room, begged him to protect her. In a voice
loud enough to be heard by the iuiIians out

had pistol would fix the villains |" Tell
ing the lady to bring him the money and not
to be alarmed, but to secrete herself and
children, he rc.carped bis revolver and made
ready 20 receive the attack The money was
given into his keeping, and scarcely had she
time to seek place of safety, when the door
was burst from its hinges. and ten men dis.
guised as negroes, entered. Not finding the
object Of their search in the cutter room, they
rushed into the one occupied by the soldier,
who, sitting up in bed, fred five shots, in
rapid succession, with such effect that three
Of the would-be murderers were killed, and
fourth severely wounded This unexpect,d ID
opposition frightened the remainder of tho
scoundrels, who retrcatcd In dismay. Great
excitemerN was created in the neighborhood
by the aflray, and the next morning large
crowd assembled to investigate the transac.
ton and examine the wounded man, who
had been .aken prisoner. Upon washing the
blacklug from the faces Of the dead men,
they were recognized ns some Of the Iady's
nearest neighbors, and one Of them was her
own brother. .in.law. The heroic soldier be
came the lion Of the day, and the lady in
sisted upon his receiving share Of the sew
en- hundred dollars as reward for his bra
very, but this he persistently refused; say
Ing he was already well cared for and in de-
Tending the family of the lady who had
sheltered and fed him, he was but doing his
duty.

LIE Japanese EfDoassadOTS have published
at Yedo their impressions Of America and
Europe. They say "Of the women, some
are very handsome-for example, the En-
press. They are, however, in general, less 80
than in America. Their noses are some.
times higher than those of the men. They
walk like men, taking long steps look like
men in the face, and laugh great deal, some.
times very loud. In order to make them.
selves. look taller they make their bonnets
stick up above their heads Even the modest
women dance great deal. They hook on to
the arms Of the men, and there are DAYS
when every man has q woman hanging on to
his arm. Are they their own wives We
think SO. In general, the women enjoy great
liberty. What we say Of the women of
France applies to those OF all Europe. The
latter, With the exception Of tie Dutch, are
inferior to tho French We will not sneak
