THE MOST DANGEROUS EYES

-. The black eye 10 fine,
In lite meaning divine,
when sOft 10 the light from it beaming;
And when spirited, too,
1t Sparkles anew,
With fash like the Northern Lights cleaning.
And the bright eye Of blue,
Like the sky in its hue,
Or the azure Of meek, trembling flowers,
With its hopes and ita fears,
With its smiles and its tears,
10 April in sunshine and showers.
With the calm eye Of gray,
In its 9. nsible way
Looking straight through all himsy DISCUSSES,
With its clear honest gaze,
And its scorn Of fase praise,
Has the ffankneSs that every one prizes.
In the clear hazel eye,
With its amber-like dye,
Like an agate half-hid in the water;
Grave and merry that meet,
Advance and retreat,
In combat, though harmless the slaughter.
But whatever the hue,
whether black, gray or blue,
II wanting or duh the expression,
1t has no lasting charm,
And can never do harm,
Nor tempt nor return loves confessian.
For the most dangerous eyes,
(And those we most priZe,)
Have magic that draws others to them;
In their clear well of light
No dark thoughts shun the sight,
For the bright soul goodness looks through them

W. y. SAWYER, Secretary.
Democratic Co. central Committee.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Resolved. That in the future, as in the past, we
will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union,
under the Constitution, as the only solid founda-
tion of our strength, security and happiness as a
people. and as the framework of government
equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity Of
all the States, both Northern and Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does explic
lilly declare, as the sense of the American people.
that after four years OF failure to restore the
Union by the experiment Of war, during which,
under the pretense Of the military necessity of
war power, higher than the Constitution itself,
that instrument has been disregarded in every
part, and public liberty and private rights trodden
down, and the material prosperity of the country
essentially impaired, justice, humanity, and hber
ty, and the public welfare demand that imme date
efforts be made to bring about cessation of hos
Utilities, with view Of an ultimate Convention Of
the States, or other peaceable means to end it,
that at the earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored on the basis Of the Federal Union Of
the States.
$. Resolved, The direct interference of the
military authorities Of the United States in the
recent elections held In Kentucky, Maryland Mis-
souri, and Delaware, was shameful violation Of
the Constitution, and repetition Of such acts IN
the approaching election will be held to be revolu
tionary, and resisted with all the means and pow
er under our control.
1. Resolved, That the aim and object Of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Union
and the rights of the States unlmpaired, and they
hereby declare that they consider the Administra-
tion's usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous
powers not granted by the Constitution the cub
version of the civil by military laws in States not
in insurrection; the arbitrary military arrest,
imprisonment, trial and sentence Of American
citizens in States where civil law exists in full
fierce the suppression Of freedom of speech and
Of the press the denial of the right Of asylum (;
the avowed disregard Of State rights the employ
ment of unusual test oaths, and interference with
and denial of the right of the people to bear arms,
calculated to prevent the restoration Of the
Union, and the perpetuation Of Government de-
irving its just powers from the consent Of the
governed.
5. Resolved, That the shameful disregard by
the Administration of its duty in respect to our
fellow citizens who are now and long have been
prisoners Of war, and in a suffering condition,
deserves the severest reprobation, on the score
alike Of public and common humanity.
6. Resolved, That the sympathy Of the Demo
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to
the soldiers OF our army, who now are an have
been in the field, under the flag of their country
and in the event of attaining power, they ill
receive all the care, protection and regard that
as brave soldiers of the Republic, they have go
bly, earned.

A. SPARTAN MARRIAGE. Many of the
laws of Lycurgus, in connection with this
subject, would undoubtedly meet with the
appreciation Of the fair sex of modern
times. The time for marriage was fixed
by statute-that Of the man at about so
or So years, that of the lady at about 20,
or q little younger. All men who con-
tinued unmarried after the appointed time
were liable to prosecution, and all old
bachelors were prohibited from being pres.
ent at the public exercises of the Spartan
maidens, and were denied the usual re-
spect and honors paid to the aged. "Why
should give you place." cried the young
man to the old unmarried gentleman
"when you have no child to give place to
me when I am old ?" No marriage Dor
tons were given to any of the maidens,
so that neither poverty should prevent
gallant, nor riches tempt him to marry
contrary to his incinations. The parents
Of three children enjoyed considerable
immunities, and those with four children
paid no taxes wbatever-a regulation
which all married men with large fami-
lies will readily admit to be most wise
and equitable. Every marriage was pre-.
ceded by betrothal, as in other Greek
cities, but the marriage itself was perform
cd by the young Spartan carrying off his
bride by pretended abduction, and for
some time afterwards the wife continued
to reside with her own family, and only
met the husband on stated OCCASIONS
This extraordinary way of spending the
honeymoon was first introduced by Ly.
curgus to prevent the husband wasting
too much of his time in his wife's society
during the first years of their marriage
and In order to ecoromize the brides
charms, it was customary for her brides
maid to cut OF all her hair on the we'd
ding day, SO that for some time, at least.
her personal attractions should increase
with her years. very good and com-
mendable plan, which we here recon.
mend to the wives Of the present day.

NEArNEss IN DREss.-All persons, es-
pecially the young, should be expected to
dress themselves with some degree Of
fresh care during the after part of the day.
1t is not expensive, but rather economical,
to pay attention to dress. 4 little extra
washing which it may cost is nothing to
what is saved by habitual carefulness
not to soil ones clothes. The soven is
the most extravagant, generally speaking.
Of any one in dress. So also, the time it
may take is nothing compared with the
habit Of order, system, and Of having q
time for everything. 1t promotes self
respect and pleasant social feelings. The
man, woman or child who feels habitual-
ly worse dressed than near neighbors sill
be apt to shrink from society and behave
awkwardly and strangely in it. This will
make others shrink from them and pro.
duce q sort of warfare and antagonism
most undesirable, and sure to check the
flow Of those benevolent social feelings
which are the source of the purest and
best earthly joys, and much of all our
usefulness.
There are some would be philosophers
who cannot see the reasonableness Of all
this. Let them watch the effect which
Sunday attire has, especially upon the
working portion Of society, when parents
and children all have time and dress for
the church, the walk, or the family fire,
side. Does not all this produce greater
mutual respect among the members OF
the same family, among neighbors or
friends, and quiet contentmcnt and en-.
joyment Of existence most Of all things
conducive to Improvement and order p
Let those families who neglect such habits
be observed, and they will almost uniform.
ly be found disorderly and wasteful of far
more than all the cost OF attending to such
matters.
We have known of authors who have
found it necessary to dress before writing
their best things; ministers who must
have on clean shirt in order to write as
well IS deliver good sermon; and Of
orators who felt all the more able to com.
mAnd their audiences from being neatly
and exactly dressed. No doubt there are
many exceptions to this; but those who
have much to do with public life find thai
success, while not 10 be attained by fine
or expensive clothing Of shiny newness
is yet very greatly assisted by scrupulou,
