FROM THE FRENCH.

There was once man whose only
property was wrctchcd cabin, ON the
shore Of a little river. He gained a
livelihood by fishing, but as there were
but few fish in the stream, he caught
few, and had not much other food than
bread and water. At the same time
he was content, in his poverty, because
he wished for nothing more than he
possessed.
One day he took fancy to see the
city, and he resolved to go there, on
the morrow. Whilehe was preparing
for the voyage, traveller entered his
poor hut, and asked him if he was far
from a village where he might find a
house to rest in till morning.
"You are twelve miles from the vii
answered the fisherman, ,"and it is
late. Ifyou wish to pass the night in
my cabin, you are welcome"
The traveller accepted his PROPOSE
tion, and the fisher, who desired to re-
gale him, lit the fire to cook some lit
tie fish. While hcprepared the repast,
he laughed, he sang and appeared to
be in very jolly humor.
"You are happy" said hisguest, "in
possessing the faculty ofdiverting your
self!a i would give all that l possess
in the world, to be as gay as you are"
"Ah ! Indeed! What prevents you?'
said the fishermen, "Myjoy costs me
nothing, and 1 have never had any oc-
casion for sadness. Have you any
great sorrow that does not permit you
to enjoy yourself?"
"Alasi" replied the traveller" ,"every-
body believes me to be the happiest of
men. Twas a merchant, and succeeded
in aocumulating great riches but l
have not had a moment of repose. I
feared always that / would become
bankrupt, that my goods would spoil,
and that my vessels, which were upon
tho sea, would be shipwrecked. There
f0re 7 abandoned commerce, to find
tranquility and I have bought COM
mission near the king. At first I had
the good fortune 70 please the prince !;
! become his favorite, and 1 believed
that contentment was near at hand !;

the ezouayes embarked fof Gelioal but
al they we're going on board ship they
saw waformaI order forbiddiug the en-
trance Of all dogs upon the vessel As
they were very much attached to their
dogs, they were stricken with grief.
1t was not easy to deceive the sharp
lookout kept BY the intendeht, for every
soldier advanced lalong the narrow
gaugWay ohehy one, .as their names
were called, Necessity il called the
mother Of invention. The drummers
unsCrewed their drums, and the best
dogs Of the regiment were concealed in
th6drurhs, which were screwed up AGAIN,
When regiments embark no MUSIC is
PLAYED, but on this occasion The colonel
determined there should be music, he
ordered the trumpets and drnmsto take

bawled 10 know why the drums did not
beat There was but one thing TO do
and that was "a. beat The moment
the drums began to beat innumerable
dogs began to howl and to bay, to the
ast0nishment Of everybody but the
Zouavea. Every body looked right,
left, backward, forward--no aign 0f a
dog anywhere and yet, the more the
drummers beat, the more the dogs
howl. Al last q spaniel fell outaof a

H6- Prof. Louis Agassiz, of Cam
bridge, Mass, has reached an eminence
for scientific attainments unequaled by
any other man of this country, and per-
haps unsurpassed on the other side of
the water. He is a remarkably careful
observer and exact thinker. And he has
nerve enough to speak his observations
of the truths of science, in the face of
prejudice the most stubborn, and of dog
matism the most despotic, without fear
or favor to any party or time. And here
is what he says Of the Talsrs who have
succeeded the Jacksons, the Cannons,
the Folks, the Joneses and Bells of Ten
nessee. He says
have pointed out over hundred
specific differences between the bonal
and nervous systems of the white man
and negro Indeed their frames are
alike in no particular. There is not a
bone in the negros body which is rela-
lively the same shape, size, or articula-
ton, or chemically Of tie same compo-
sition, as that of the white man. The
negro's bones contain far greater per
centage of calcareous salt than those Of
a white man. Even the negro's blood
is chemically very different fluid from
that which courses in the veins Of the
white man. The whole physical organ
ism of the negro differs quite as much
from the white mans as it does from that
of the chimpanzee-that is in his bones,
muscles, nerves and fibres the chimpan-
zee has not much further to progress to
become a negro than the negro has to
become a white man. This fact science
irexorably demonstrates Climate
has no more to do with the difference
between .se white man and the negro,
than it has with that between the negro
and the chimpanzee; or than 1t has be-
tween the horse and the ass, or the eagle
and the owl Each is distinct and
separate creation. The negro and white
man were created as different as the owl
and the eagle. They were designed to
fill different places in the system OF
nature. The negro IS no more negro
by. accident or misfortune than the owl is
the kind of bird he is by accident or
misfortune. The negro is no more the
white mans brother than the owl is the
sister of the eagle, or the ass is the
brother of the horse How stupendous
and vet how simple is the doctrine that
the Almighty Maker of the universe has
created inherent species of the lower
animals to I'll the different places and
offices in the grand scenery of nature

Edy- "reminiscences of the war, such
as are contained in the articles Of. j..
c." and of "W." published to-day, will
be always welcome. We only ask that
they shall be carefully and skiliully
written, and strictly truthful. And then,
not exceeding thirds of a column at
a time, we should be pleased that their
reception should be frequent
We have no objection TO all proper
praise to the gallant leaders Of our
armies. Let every one be immortal in
his niche of history. But we know
privates too, who fought through the
whole long war, at the command Of con-
science, principle and patriotism, as
pure as was ever felt in human bosom,
and without pay, or clothes, or food or
encouragement, or comfort, save
the Consciousness OF following the
right, Who deserve the laurel as
well; aye, more, than they. Such
men as these are above the mean
business Of trumpeting their own fame,
which true men never do. You will
never hear boast from them. But their
deeds aud their glory belong to history,
and, with our consent their modesiy
shall not snatch the prize from the recOl-
lection Of their countrymeu. Let the
most remarkable and signal instances
and as many as can Of private soldierly
virtue come out TO view. Nothing will
Be more interesting TO our readers, or
gratifying to us, than to become the
organ Of justice to the fame Of the unset
fish and unreWarded private soldier. We
owe 10 the best private soldier, who en-
dured al Of danger and suffering, With
out the pleasure and pay and glory OF
command, more than TO Gen. Lee. The
cause may be lost Bot We love not the
less the men who upheld il with all their
energy and pure hearted love Of county.

D6rIf we must so under, give us me
rogue rather than the fool to rule over
us. A healthy public sentiment has
great power Of conservation even over
an intelligent fanatici but fool will
blunder into quagmires and difficulties
which no sagaciiy can obviate or wisdom
redress. It is in this view that we have
always looked with hope to the fact OF
the large amount of intelligence in our
highly educated northern rulers. And
we are pleased now to see signs OF reac'
ton. and that fanaticism is beginning to
90 under in that quarter. The New
York Citizen, an able and violent war
democrat paper, says the vast majority
at the North has been Disguised with the
conduct of the Republicans, and dreaded
whittier their ideas were leading us. We
were threatened with second. Hayti
below Mason and Dixon's line; the
fairest provinces of our country we're
in danger of being converted into
wilderness, and ignorance was being
given command that the utmost intel
ligcnce is required to manage wisely
1t is we'll that they see the fact, and are
alarmed by it for their own sakes-we
expect nothing for ours. The fall cleo
tons will probably Show On immense
change of the tide But the Citizen
