ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

How TIMES CHANGE. The Louis
vile Journal comes to hand with the
names of the nominees of the Demo-
cratic Convention of that State flying
at its mast head, and with slashing
leader against the Louisville Demo-
crat, the old organ of tho party, for
refusing to support the ticket. Tho
Journal concludes:
The present is no time for divisions
and ordinations and recriminations
among those who would save the
country, and we think that this fact
was fully recognized by the Frank
fort Convention. If ever there was O.
time when i was the solemn duty of
Kentucky to present for the country's
sake and her own bold and united
front against the destroyers, such n
time is this.

paragraph ut the head of it's occa-
sional notes:
eve regret to say we have reason
to believe that some recent overtures
of Sir Frederick Bruce, in behalf of
his Government, in the matter of ar-
bitration in the Alabama claims, have
not been received in conciliatory
spirit by Mr.. Seward. We do not
understand that the offer of the Bri-
tish representative has been directly
refused, but that, Mt two interviews,
the subject has been euaded."

A RICH INCIDENT. "A convention
of North Carolina "loyalists" and
colored people recently met in Ra-
leigh. During the proceedings, o
rich incident occurred, which was
communicated to us by prominent
gentleman from this State, who was
present on the occasion, and which
we see noticed in the Raleigh Sentinel.
1t seems that tho clerk of the con-
vention had inserted the term eco
lored" on his roll, opposite the names
of the colored members. On the
roll being called at tho session re-
ferred to, Mr.. Col. Rev. James Sin
clair, better known rs the "fghting
parson," arose, and moved that the
term colored be expunged, as not
respectful to the colored delegation.
James H. Harris, IN intelligent and
respected colored man, arose, and
said he did not see any good reason
for the proposition. The record was
literally true. God had made them
colored men, and he was not ashamed
of anything that God had done. He
was not ashamed of his color, and he
hoped the gentleman from Robson
was not ashamed Of his! The eight
ing parson" caved in.

Wealth..

Excessive wealth is neither glory nor
happiness. The cold wretch thinks only of
himself, who draws his head within it's
shell, and never puts it out but for the pur-
pose of lucre and ostentation who looks
upon his fellow creatures not only without
sympathy, but with arrogance and inso-
lence, as if they were made to be Lis vassals,
and he was made to be their lord; as if
they were for no other purpose than to
pamper his avarice, or to contribute to his
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; such man may be rich,
but he can never be happy, nor virtuous,
nor great. There is in fortune golden
mean, which is the appropriate region of
virtue and Intelligence. Be content with
that and if the horn Of plenty overflow. let
its dropp;ngs fall upon your fellow men );
let them fall like the droppings of honey
in the wilderness, to cheer the wayworn
pilgrim. You may wish to be distinguish
ed; but wealth is not essential to distinction.
Look at the illustrious patriots, philoso-
pliers and philanthrophsts who in various
ages have blessed the world was it their
wealth that made them great No. Where
was the wealth Of Aristides, of Socrates, of
Plato Of Epaminondas, of Fab-iciu<, of
Cincinnatus, and countless host upon the
rolls of fame Their wealth was in their
mind and heart. These are the treasures
by which they have been immortalizel; and
such alone are treasures that are worth
serious struggle.

Courteous Reply to an 1nfideI.

An Austrian traveller being unexpected
ly detained at the mole or quarantine in
Odessa, was very eivily offered 'half ofhis
apartments and sofa to lie on" by a
young Englishman who acted as translator
to the mole. After they had formed an
intimate acquaintance, and one evening
hal retired to rest, the traveller asked his
friend how he could endure the blasphemy
which was so constantly heard there. The
young Englishmar replied, that ''as gen
tleman these things were disagreeable to
him, but as to their being intrinsically
wrong, it was no matter of concern to him,
as he denied the truth of all revelation,
and believed Jesus Christ to be an impos-
ter
The traveller, without supposing that
the remark would hn needed except by
courtecy, replied, Either Christ was an
imposter or he was not. IF he was an iM-
poster, we have the uncomfortable pbenom-
cnon Of base man practic;ng virtue, self
denial, charity, forgiveness of injuries,
through his whole life, in spite of scourg-
ing. contumely, and even crusifxion. Is
it philosophical to suppose that a bad man
would take SO much pains to make men
good? But if he was not an imposter,
then he has told the the truth, and we
must believe him"
els it possible that never saw that be-
forep' was the only reply of the young
EngEshman but the argument sunk deep
into bis heart, and when the traveller had
arrived at Alexandria, he received letter
from the former sceptic acknowledging him
as the best friend he ever had," encour-
aging him to be equally faithful to others,
and praying him not to forget his Codes

WHAT DO YOU'VE MEN MARRY ?-Som

w HAT Do L DUNG aiEN HARRY !-Cofuc
young men marry dimples; some ears !;
noses; the contest. however, generally lies
between the eyes and the hair. The
mouth, too, is occasionally married the
chin not so often. Poor partners, these,
you will own But young men do marry
all these, and many other bits Of scraps
of wife, such is the afterlife. He that
would have wife must marry woman.
If he can meet with one equal in social posi-
ton, like education, similar dispositions
kindred synpathies and habits congenial
to his own, let him marry. But let him
beware OF marrying curl, or neck,
however swan-like, or voice, however
melodious. Young ladies do also make
some queer matches, and unite themselvs
to whiskers.
