The New Vice President.

On Saturday, Senator Ben. F.
Wade, of Ohio, was elected President
Of the United States Senate.
We predicted some time ago that
Mr.. Wade would be the choice of the
senate, as it was of the People, for
this position. The crisis Of the hour
demands that we have a man for
Vice President who will be ssequal to
the emergency" in any event-and
such a man is Ben. Wade. In case
Of the impeachment the President
Of the Senate as sumes the Chief Ex-
ecutive's Chair, and Mr.. Foster, Of
Connecticut, was not looked upon as
having the necessary "back bone
for the place. Mr.. Wade has the
ability, the courage and the willnec-
essary to discharge the duties q
President Of the United States-and
we hope, sincerely, that be may have
an opportunity, very soon, Of exer-
cising them.

The Duty OF THE SOUTH No LONG
Err TO TRUST THE DEMocRACY.-One
thing is certain, in our judgement,
and that is we cannot rely upon the
conservative ESQ called people of
the North. They seem to be demon
allied, and content themselves simply
with tame protests against the usur-
pations and outrages Of Congress.--
Ii the South We're in the condition it
were six years ago, we should coun-
sci resistance to these unconstitu-
tional laws; but it is idle to think of
resorting to this remedy now, while
the Conservatives of the North will
risk nothing for the cause Of consti-
tutional government. We have
made sacrifices without avail, and
the very people we relied upon to
help us turned their hands against
us. They would do the same thing
over again. Ifthey are not utterly
given ur to the worship Of self and
afraid for their greenbacks and pub~
lie securities, let them show their
hand and say to the men who are
keeping this country in such tur-
MOL, that period must be put to
these evils. They will find the South
ready to respond to any effort they
may make to preserve the form Of
government bequeathed to US. They
are prescribed as well as we, and the
time may come when they will feel
their chains, as well as we feel them
now.-LynchbNrq .Virginian.

TO NY OLD BOOT.

Mine ancient pedal friend, a last farewell!
80 many days We've foo ted it together
The lane OF life, in fair and stormy weather,
Mine eyes wellnigh their lid-dikes oyerswell.
l well remember when thou didst encase
NY neither limbs with pressure warm and tight
And many corny twinge from morn till night
Evlnced the ardency of thine embrace.
Soon, like the love of some longnasried wife,
Thy grasp, if not 50 strong, was still as true
And a. p'easanter; and as we grew in life,
Thou vert as pleasant as plant shoe;
And while on thee trampled every day,
10 shield me thou ddst wear thy very sole AWAY
Though despise the slander-monger's art.
And scorn the wretch who blackens the fair fame
" one whose richest fortune is his name,
Ihe wretch whose steel goes deeper than the heart
ct 1t has been my daily wont, own
10 biack thy face until its skin has sione
With ebon glow, as lustrous as the hue
Ihat forms the charm of Gunea's native breed.
But twas not that hated thee indeed,
priced the SO, thai when thy sole broke through
and let in water twas my special heed
A man OF avis thy gaping wounds should sew;
Ard twitching pangs athwart my pocket shoot
10 part with thee at last, worn and faithful boot

person who shall aid intellectually,
or pecuniarily in the execution OF
such publications. Every person

Recreations Of Great Men.

Socrates did not blush to play with
children.
Asinius Polio did not suffer any
business to occupy him beyond a
stated hour, after that time he would
not allow any letter to be opened
during his hours of relaxation, that
they might not be Interrupted by I'M
foreseen labors.
Tycho Brahe diverted himself with
polishing all kinds Of glasses for'spec
tacles and making mathematical in
truments-an amusement too closely
connected with study 10 20 dcemed
one.
D'Andilly, the translator of"Joe-
sephus," after Z or s hours Of study
every day, amused himself in culti-
waiting trees.
Barclay, the author of g Argenoes, .
in his leisure hours was florist.
Balza amused himself with a coils
lection of crayon portraits.
Peirere found amusement among
his medals and antiquarian curiosi-
ties.
Politian amused himself in singing
airs to his Lutte.
Descartes passed his afternoon inthc
conversation Of few friends, and in
cultivating little garden in the
morning, being fond Of fowrs.
Granville Sharp, amid the severity
Of his studies, found social relaxa-
ton in the amusement Of a barge on
the Thames, which was we'll known to
the circle Of his friends. There was
festive hospitality with musical de-
light. 1t was resorted to by men of
most eminent talents and rank. His
little voyages to Putny, Kew, and to
Richmond, and the literary inter,
course they produced, were singular
~ happy ones. "The history Of his
amnsements cannot be told without
adding to the dignity Of his charac>
ter, !" observed Mr.. Prince Hoare, in
his very curious life of this great phi
lanthropist.
Some have found amusement in
composing trcatises on odd subjects.
Seneca wrote a burlesqe narrative
of Claudian's death.
Pierius Valerianus has written an
eulogium on boards: and we had
learned one recently, with due grav>
lily and pleasantly, entitled "Eloge

! It the Southern people should re-
sist the execution OF the martial law

The above extract from the Wortd

themselves as they did during the

against them. It seems to us that
all sensible and honest people have
had enough Of such papers as the
New York World.
The Richmond Whig of the I'd
instant quotes the same paragraph
above quoted from the. World, and
says:
If resistance is to be made. why
should the World consider it the ex-
elusive duty of the South to make
it? We do not say this with any
idea Of encouraging resistance at the
North; for that we believe to be out
Of the question. The opportunity
was affored all the time from April,
1861, to April, 1865, for the Northern
Conservatives to show what they
cared for the Constitution, and all
that we saw was as greedy a palm
for bounty money among the Demo
cratic masses as among the Republi-
can, while, with a few exceptions,
the protest that came from the lead
ers had rather the tone Of whine
for Office and power than the heroic
ring OF men ready to die soon + than

no shame to ourselves for their loss.
for we fought to save them. If the
conquerors choose to impose bitter
and hnmiiating conditions the igno

grace Of having stood ignobly and
timidly by while civil liberty was
being murdered belongs to that par
ty at the North represented by the
World, and not to the Southern peo-
le. Their conduct is on record.

BE A WOMAN.


Oft I've heard gentle bother
As the twilight hours began,
Pleading with a son on dirty.
Urging him to be man;
But unto her blue-eyed daughter.
Tho with loves wordsquite as ready,
Points she out the Other duty
ssStrive my dear to be q lady"
What's lady? Is it something
Made ofhoops, and silks. and airs
Used to decorate The palior,
Like the fancy rings and chairs?
Is 1t one that wastes onnovels
Every feeling that is human2
If tits this to be a lady,
Ills not this to be a woman.
Mother, then unto urdaughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than to be mere fashions lady,
"Woman' is the brightest star.
Ifye, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man.
Urge our daughter no less strongly
10 arise and be a woman.
Yes. a woman--Drightest model
OF that high and perfect beauty.
Where the mind, the soul and body
Blend to work out Iifes great duty.
Be a wonan-naugbt is higher
On the gilded list Of fame;
Thefe's no brighter, holisr name.
Be woman-on to duty
Raise the world from all that's low;
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bow
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human,
Be not fashions gilded,rdy,
be brave, whole-souled true aconaan.

INFLUENCE OF NEwspAPERs.-A
school-teachor, who had been engag-
ed long time in his profession, and
witnessed the influence of newspa-
per upon the minds of family of
children, writes as follows:
| have found it to be the universal
fact, without exception, that those
scholars, of both sexes, and of all
ages, who have had access to news
papers at home, when compared to
those who have not, are;
l. Better readers, excellent in
pronunciation, and consequently, read
more Understandings.
2. They are better spoilers, and
define words with ease and accuracy
3. They obtain practical knowl-
edge of geography in almost half the
time it requires others, as the news
papers have made them acquainted
with the location Of the important
places, nations, their governments
and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians,
for, having become SO familiar with
every variety of style in the newspa-
per, from the commonplace advertise
ment to the finished and classical
Grafton Of the statesman, they more
readily comprehend the meaning Of
the text, and, consequently, analyze
its construction with accuracy
5. They write better compost
tons, using better language, contain
ing more thoughts, more clearly and
more connectediy expressed.
g.. Those young men who have for
years been readers Of the newspapers
are always taking the lead in the de-
batting societies, exhibiting more ex-
tensive knowledge upon a greater
variety Of subjects, and expressing
their views with greater fuency,
clearness and correctness in their use
of language.
