TO THE PUBLIC.

TNHE NEW YORK NEWS has battled
Il against despotism for four years OF
blood and terror, in assertion Of the sane
tlty OF the Constitution. A patriotism suf-
ic1ently broad to embrace both sections
has been its only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to its record to show
that 1t has not turned to the right or the
left under all the violence of arbitrary
power; True to ;its principles as THE
NEWS has been through the reign of ter
ror, 1T challenges public confidence in it's
honesty and independence for the future.
Inc political transition of the present
gay opens TO The NEWS q new and wider
held OF usefulness. Standing now, as it
always has, on the inviolability Of the
constitution, according to the interpreta-
ton OF the strict constructionists, it pre-
sents rallying. ground for all, in both sec
tons, who are friends Of generous con-
servatlsm. AS a true and tried exponent
o! o.haS sectionai amlty, it occupies position
holding UP TO the party of order in bot!:
sections, interests and principles that gave
breadth and vitality to their alliance. As
an lntersectional agent, devoted to free
dom OF election, to trial bys jury, to the
sanctlty OF the hdbeas corpus, and opposed
now, as for four years OF terror it ma = been
to the Capitalization that dares to trample
on the rights OF States, North or South.
The NEWS places itself as a candidate
for support before the great BODY of this
once free people.
The circumstances OF the moment make
the dissemination Of the principles of THE
NEWS duty Of individual patriotism.
Every man who concurs in its doctrine
must, II he entertain true sense of free
dom, do so in no spirit of Indifference. but
rather with the earnestness Of high trust
Justlfled-nay, bound-in his love Of liber-
ty, to do 80, the proprietor places the can
vass he makes here Of the public generally
IN the hands Of those men who give him
the approval Of their consciences as his in
dlvidual agents. Every reade, Of THE
NEWS cannot avoid the conviction of duty
which ls here pointed out as the ground Of
the request, that he urges it's claims for
wider support upon all Of his friends and
nelghbors who give their earnest svmpa
thles to the cause Of ''strict construction"
lntersectional conciliation, and ali the
rights Of the citizens under the system.
set up by our fathers, Of liberty regulated
by law. The proprietor Of THE NEWS
calls, therefore, upon good and true con-
servatives throughout the country to dis
charge to their convictions Of political
right at this great crisis in the country's
fortunes, the duty OF giving 70 the infiu-
ence of his papsr-daily, semi-weekly or
weekly-the wider power for good which it
seeks here through the service of it's indi-
vidual supporters.

Moro Shadows ON the Fence.

cannot write as once wrote;
A change is passingso'er
My spirit, and my bosom throbs
So hopefully no more.
But though fate wraps my destiny
In clouds 80 darkly dense,
l still can view right mirthfully
The shadows on the fence;
And feel q strangely deep delight
When lordly man see,
Completely and unconsciOusly,
Caricatured for me;
And when the language OF his eyo
Is s'coranaon man go hence,".
view With deepest ecstacy
His shadow outhe fence.
Now, there's thing by tallors made
It wears q handsome dress;
Bnt in it's look there's not trace
or native nobleness.
Yet self-complacently it SMILES
Finds bliss in ignorance,
And if it saw, it wouldn't know.
It's shadow on the fence.
And now a youthful form trips by,
So beautifully gay;
That blushing cheek aQd brilliant eye
No penalty should pay;
But, as by SANDERS poison tongue,
Which spares not loveliness,
That fairy form was sadly changed,
By that ill-natured fence.
And now another, on whose cheek
Rests PHYS holy tear
Not for "benighted heathens" shed
Her sympathies are here;
She deems there's scarcely justice in
Far-off benevolence;
She's on some mercy's errand been;
Distort her not, old fence.
And now behold wealthy man,
Who bears an honored name;
But for his gold, he we're beneath
The poorest child OF shame.
His life has been a constant lie,
And told with insolence;
His narrow soul is uglier than
His shadow on the fence.
The god OF day has sunk TO rest
Without his golden ray;
No shadows bless my longing sight;
I'll see no more to-day.
But still folks toss their empty heads
With vanity intense,
And make themselves ridiculous,
Not only on the fence.
am expecting every day
That somebody will die,
And leave me money; when they do,
That fence I'll surely buy.
Oh, thou who own'st that hallowed spo
Ipray make no pretense
To move one single dusky board
Of that old comic fence.

Mock Modesty.
"H0ni soft Q.li NAL u pense


Is motto that may be seen
traced upon the coat of arms of
England, and the historical incident
which called forth its remarkable ut
terance by Queen Elizabeth is said to
have been the origin of the Order of
Knights of the Garter, the highest
rank of knighthood in Great Britain.
A. one OF her royal lcvees, the ''Vi,-
gin Queen" was SO unfortunate as to
lose her garter, and as it lay on the
floor, the courtiers stood bewildered,
not knowing what course to pursue
in this extraordinary case of delicate
emergency. Sir Walter Raleigh
stepped forward, picked up the dis
engaged piece of wardrobe, and with
polite gallantry, presented it to the
Queen, who, upon receiving It, gave
utterance to the words above, which
Webster renders, "Shame to him that
evil thinks
This regal circumstance, and the
sentiment expressed on the occasion
in the fullness of its appropriate
sense, was forcibly brought to my
mind few days since by little in
cident that occurred within the scope
of my observation Some little girls
were visiting a public place, viewing
and examining many objects of in
terest. During their stay one of them
met with an accident similar to the
misfortune of Queen Elizabeth; but
the fact was not discovered until after
their departure. A gentleman stepped
forward, picked up the lost article of
feminine wardrobe, and called after
the owner, who returned; but when
near enough to discover what she had
lost, instead of coming bravely for
ward and claiming her rightful pro-
perty, scampered away like guilty
thing. There was an exhibition of
false delicacy-there was mock mo-
desty! And she little girl of only
ten or twelve summers-was there not
wrong training somewhere? and who
doubts that her mother is in some
measure responsible? To be sure,
she had lost her garter. What of it?
Was there anything indelicate in
that? No. What harm, then, for her
to come modestly and gracefully for
ward and claim her property?
Now, if there is any one quality
above another to be admired in chill
dren, it is their innate innocence,
their perfect Inconsistencies of the
existence of evil. Oh, mothers, pre-
serve the innocence, the purity Of
your little ones, if you would have
them beautiful, and remember that
Handsome is as handsome does. I"
Guard, by oil the means in your
power, your offspring against the ac-
quirements of false delicacy and mock
modesty, and teach them, if possible,
to discriminate between those false
requirements, and the possession of
the real virtue. True modesty is a
virtue, ''pearl above price," but its
base counterfeit is the bane of socie-
ty, and every day we see instances
where the old saying may he trnth-
fully applied, Vulgar minds vulgar
constructions give.

WILL DO TO MARRY!-There is o
woman residing out West who can
plow, fish, nurse, and sing all at

plow; then slowing her twin babies
in q corn-basket, suspends it to tree;
attaches the cow-ben to the end Of
her fshing-rod, which is forced into

then drives her team, and every time
she comes opposite her babes the
Rriel cradle receives O send, which
keeps it vibrating until she performs
another circuit round her ''land,"
practicing in the meantime various
pieces of sacred music; and if q
thoughtless fish swallows her baited
hook the obedient bell informs her;
when she sails across the field and
straightway hauls the victim ashore.
