to be held tomorrow, was adopted, and an

with, resulting in the selection of the following
named persons: j. c. Underwood, George
Simms, Chas. P. Henry, John A. Seaton, Il.
Bell, ST., VIM. Claggett and VIM. N. Berkeley.
After the election of delegates, John Seaton,
colored, made few remarks, when the meet
ing adjourned This Of all the other wards in
the city is the most violently opposed to Hawk
hurst, and if his nomination depended upon
the support be receives in the Fourth Ward his
chance would be but poor indeed
FIFTH DISTRICT, OR COUNTY. Large meet
ings Of the faithful were held last night at the
Freedmen's Village, and at Camp ConValescent
in Alexandria county, at which, alter splri-
ted conflict between the Hawxhurstltes and
their opponents, delegation of six-four
Hawxhurst men and two anties-were selected
to meet in Convention tomorrow with the city
delegations.
From the above synopsis of the proceedings
last night, it is manifest that the desire
for Office is real bone Of contention among
the 'unquestionaby loyal portion Of the
community, and the animosity existing between
the two now separate and distinct wings Of the
Radical party will not be speedily assauaged.
The complexion of the delegations as now ez-
listing is sixteen for Hawxhurst to sixteen
against him.

The Bachelor.

In the vast field Of human affections. says $
cotemporary, the old bachelor is the very scare
crow of happiness, who drives away the little
bird, of love that come TO steal away the little
hemlock seeds of loneliness and despair
Where is there a more pitiable object on this
earth than a man who has no amiable woman
interested in his welfare? How dismal does
his desolate room appear. when he comes home
.. night, weary and hungry; barren table.
aud lonely pillow, which looks like the
white urn Of every earthly enjoyment. See
the old bachelor in the dark afternoon Of life
when his heart is sinking 10 its sunderance -
Not solitary star Of memory CLEANS over his
opening grave No weeping wife 10 bend like
a comforting angel over his dying pillow and
wipe the death damp from his brow No fond
daughter 70 draw his chilly hand into the soft
pressure Of hers, and warm his icy blood with
the reviving fires Of availing affection No
manly boy 10 link his breaking name with the
Golden chain Of honorable society, and bind bis
history in the vast volumes Of the world he
is leaving forever. He has eaten ard drank,
and drank ard died, and earth is glad she's
got rid of him, for he had little else TO do than
cram his soul into the circumference Of si1-
pence and no human beirg, save his washer
woman. will breathe sigh at his funeral.

1dleness.

Idleness is the nurse Of all vices. Il moves
so slowly that they all overtake it. The Ger
mans and Italians say. proverbally, that Idle
ness is the devils pillow" Some affect to ex-
cuse this hydra-headed habit by asking what
harm can person do when he does nothing?
The reply is ready and plain. He who Is pas
sive in allowing decay is himself destroyer
While standing still and refusing 20 help he
obstructs the progress Of Others. We are told
in Holy Writ. By much slothfalness the
building decayeth. and through idleness OF She
hands the house droppeth through" And
again it is said: 81 went to the field OF the
slo.hf, and by the vineyard Of the man void
of understanding and 10 il was all overgrown
with shorns, and nestles had covered the face
thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken
down." The words Of Cato, the elder, are in
.hs proverb, "that one who does nothing learns
10 do evil" Idleness has been well described
to be moral leprosy. which soon eats way into
the heart and corrodes our happiness, while it
undermines our health. Idleness Is costly.
without being luxury Montague always
wound up the years account of his expense
with the following entry: "Item-for my
sbominable habit of idleness, a thousand livres.
We toll for leisure only TO discover, when we
have succeeded in our object, that leisure is q
great evil. How quickly would the working
class be reconciled to what they may call the
hardsbips of compulsory occupation, If they
were doomed only for short time to che greater
hsrdships of compulsory idlehess. They would
quickly find that il is much better to wear ou'
than 10 rust out. The idle man is at the mercy
of all vices. The working man, on the con-
ttary, finds safeguard in his occupation,
which leaves no time for temptations nor desir.
to yield 10 them. 1t was well said, by the
Oldest Of the Greek poets, that the laborer is
the sentinel Of virtue. e."-Exchonge.
