WASTED SYMPATHlES. go Aristotle :
deep view -oi the end of the tragic
drama il this: that il aims, through the
medium OF two feelings which IL repre-
sents in aetiOn-terrOr and fear-to re-
fine those very feelings i'm the -specta-
tors. To refine, of course, means 10
take on the rudeness and painfulness
of such emotions, and make them al
most pleasing sensations. That Is, the
terrible and pathetic in real life are
painful things TO witness; but in the
mimic representation the worst part is
taken away by the Consciousness that
il il unreal, at the same time that II is
sufficiently like life To produce an i'm
preston somewhat similar TO thatwhich
would be called forth by reality. The
feeling thus made faint becomes pleas
urable, lust rs warmth Is enjoyment,
though heat be intolerable. OF course
Il Is plain that this refinement of feel
ing unreali1es it-unfits for the eOntem-
plation Of the terrible and pathetic in
real life-substitntes the mimic emo
ton which is useless, "A merely artificial
production, for the true one which the
Creator has appointed TO rise IN the
bosom i'm such circumstances for the
express purpose of leading TO action,
exciting sympathy, hardening against
danger, and 80 ON. A person who Is
refined by high-wrOught scenes in nov
els. is necessarily sure TO shrink from
such scenes in real life, because in
the mimic case be had all the excite
ment without the pain, and he will
turn aside from circumstances where
eNeitenent cannot be had without pain.
a. - IN 10 fnflnn
wanting when true feeling is required
for use' because the feelings have got
the habit of being reused, without lead
inc TO exertion. They have got this
habit in the unreal. and they Will keep
to h i'm the real. They will rise at the
sight OF distress or pain; but they have
never been trained To pass promptly IN
Ia the work OF sympathizing and re-
lieving, and accordingly such persons
come 10 be looked upon as Gallons
amidst the trials Of others over which
they wept in the romance. Ihis, ! ran
cv. is Aristotle's ''rehnement" OF feel
ing, and this mnst be the danger IN All
refinement Of society. The Tragedy
and the romance. therefore, only begfn
10 appear when the mind Of n large
norton OF the nation is at leisure 10
cultivate hot-house feelings, which are
always feeble mOnstrosiiies. The DULL
eight and the amphitheaire only begin
when war and the chase have ended
The emotions which found in these a
healthy exercise once, get their I'M
healthy repsst by seeing without any
call for acting. Ii is plain TO me that 10
This way all such reading is injurious
10 the generality. All the feeling we
can command we want for acting
when we come TO act, the feelings not
,here 10 make acting easy; and what
NE have 10 DO We must either leave I'M
dome or do with cold heart simply
frum having been accustomed 70 train
the feelings 70 refinement, AMI not 70
action.-Rer. r. W. Robertson.

WHY THE CoTToN-GRowERs WERE
FREE TRADERs.-A book entitled SCOT
ton is King" published in the South,
in lsGO, undertook to explain the opera
ton of protective duties upon Southern
interests, and summed up the case as
follows:- .... -.r-.I
"The planters were led to believe that
the millions of revenue collected of the
goods imported were 50 much deducted
from the value Of the cotton that paid
for them, either in the diminished price
they received abroad, or in the increased
price they paid for the imported articles.
To enhance the duties for the protection
of our manufactures, they were persua-
ded. would be so much Of an additional
tax upon themselves, for the benefit OF
the North; and, beside, to give the man
ufacturer such "A monopoly Of the home
market for his fabrics, would enable
him To charge purchasers an excess
over the true value of his stuils, equal
the whole amount of the duty. BY the
protective policy the planters expected
To- have the cost Of both provisions and
clothing increased, and their ability to
monopolize the foreign markets dmin-
ished i'm a corresponding degree. IL
they could establish free trade, IL would
insure the American market 10 foreign
manufacturers: secure the foreign mar
kets for the leading staple; repress home
manufactures; force a large number Of
the northern men into agriculture; null
tiply the growth and diminish the price
Of provisions: feed and clothe their
slaves at lower rates; produce their
cotton for n third or fourth of former
prices; rival all other countries in lis
cultivation: mOnOpOlize the trade in
the article throughout the whole of
Europe

The Grape Region About sandusky.

Few persons I'm this vicinity are aware
of the extent of land planted i'm vines
i'm the neighborhOod OF Sandusky, o.
From correspondence, we learn some
interesting facts concerning the grape
culture there. Included within a range
OF five miles on the shore and one and
n half in the interior. embracing seven
and half square miles, or forty-eight
hundred acres Of land, is the legitimate
liz recognized mainland grape region.
Ii extends two miles 10 the east or south
east, and three miles to the west from
the centre OF the city Of Sandusky.
There are now planted To grapes within
this region about one-fourth OF the land,
or, say eleven hundred and my acres,
of which there were about three hun
dred and fifty acres in bearing this sea-
son, yielding probably not less than SIX
hundred tons-first year bearing vine
yards yielding about one ton TO the
acre, older ones from two TO five tons.
OF this six hundred tons OF grapes
about one hundred tons were shipped
the remaining five hundred made Dto
wine and brandy. Estimating twelve
pounds Of grapes 10 the gallon Of wine,
gives about eighty-three thousand gall
Ions Of wine made here. The quantity
Of brandy made from pomace is more
difficult TO estimate.
There will be not far from nine hun
dred acres OF vineyards in bearing on
the main land in the vicinity OF San
duskv next season. II is estimated
that there are one thousand acres more
of land included in the range stated,
equally as well adapted to the culuva-
ton Of the grape as that already plant
ed. These lands are valued at from
two hundred to five hundred dollors
per acre. Vineyards in bearing are val
ued and sell from one thousand TO IF
teen hundred dollars per acre, accord
ing TO location and condition.
The Catawba is the principal grape
here, though the Isabella IL cultivated
TO some extent, and has thus far proved
quite as profitable as the Catawba. The
Delaware, Diana, Concord, Norton's
Virginia, Ives Madeira, and few Other
varieties have been planted 20 some ex.
tent. though not to exceed fifty acres 81
all varieties, other than Catawba and
Isabella.

EMULATING THE CHIvALRY.-Slnce
the war closed, the tournament has re-
vived in Virginia, and in half the coun-
ties Queen of Love and Beauty, has
been crowned by the fortunate knights
who by deeds of horsemanship had
gained the right 10 bestow such honors.
Many of the journals Of the State have
been ridiculing these performances
The CharlottesvilleCh Chronicle thus throws
cold wafer on the chivalry in the fol-
lowing account OF what ii termed a
"kullud tournament" which took place
near that place:
Some of our young gentlemen recent
" emancipated by the United States,
being great admirers Of the institutions
of chivalry, and Just entered also on the
perusal OF some OF Sir Walter Scott's
delightful romances, recreated them
selves on Tuesday by having n tourna
ment near this place. There was a
large collection of the fashion aud beau
" from the precincts Of Mudwall aud
Cars Hill present on the occasion. The
knight of the Tarbucket was the fortu-
nate champion, and crowned as the
Queen of Love and Beauty the gentle
and accomplished Miss Dinah Crow, at
present cooking on the premises of Mr..
- Smith. She wore "A patent leather
bodice, and scarlet skirt Topped up
considerably above the ankles. Neck
lace of rubies and "A cream colored para
sol set of her ebony neck and shoulders
the hair fricasseed and thrown back from
the forehead. At night there was a ball
very unpleasantly. A young lady who
had been singing in the moonlight on a
balcony OF the hotel where the ball was
given, ate very freely on returning to
thesupper room ofcracklings. and over
loaded her stomach so that II produced
cramp collie.

cept the suddenness of its beginning.

War should be- peremPtory and peace
should be peremptory. BY two bitter
years we learned that war could not Ice
carried on on peace principles. In far
less time We have learned that peace
cannot be maintained on war princi-
pies. War IL medicine, not food. II Is
surgery, not calisthenics. IL is iudg-
mant, not mercy. In war. sternness is
the true kindness, and mercy is cruelty.
That which closes il, brings is end, Is
kindness. Stroke upon stroke, eNplo-
sion upon explosion, battle upon battle
let war travel fast, be done and done
thoroughly, and then Let there DE no
more of IL. p Nv .. .H

Something for the Farmer.

We call the attention of the farmers of Wood
county to the advertisement in our columns to-day
of @. j. Messer, manufacturer of Threshing Ma
chimes and Horse Powers, at Sanlusky, Ohio. lie
is the manufacturer of Woodbury's Patent Threshcl
and Pitts Separator, both superior machines and
which have become celebrated all over the country
for rapid and perfect work. Those who have used
them claim that they will thresh clean and fit for
market more grain in given time, aud do it bette
than any other machine. These machines are
strong and durable, and have given satisfaction
in every particular. The superior workmanship
and manufacture of G. j. Messer is matter
of po question. He always selects the best mate
rial, and employs none but the most competent
workmen. His manufacture Of Horse Powers for
Threshers is only equaled by the machines we
have above described, embracing the best material
and every improvement that has been tested and
found valuable. For further particulars the reader
is referred to the advertisement in another ,umr
