The Cynic.

The oyuio is one who never sees q
o good quality in a man. and never
fails to see bad one. lie is the hu-
man owl, vieilant in darkness and
blind in light, housing for vcrmin and
never seeing human game. The cy-
mic puts all human actions into two
classes, openly bad and secretly bad.
All virtue and generosity and dhSinter.
estedness are merely tho appearance
of good, but selfish at the bottom.
He holds That no man docs . thing
except for a profit The effect OF his
conversation upon your feelings is to
chill and scar them, to send you away
sour and morose. His criticisms md
inuendoes fall indiscriminately npon
every living thing, like Ao9t upon
flowers If inan is said to be pure
and chaste, he answers: Yes, in The
day time. If u woman is pronounced
Yirtuous, be will reply; Yes, as yet
Mr. a. is religious; Yes, on Sundays.
Mr. T. has mst joined the church:
Certainly, the elections are coming on.
The minister of the gospel is called an
example of diligence: 1t is his trade.
Such man is generous: OF other
mems money That man is obliging:
to luil suspicion and Cheat you. This
man is upright: Because he is green.
Thus his eye strains out every gool
quality, and takes IN emily tie tadr AZ
the vulture, when in the highest heav-
en-, will sail by the living hocks aud
herds, but comes like an arrow down
upon the smallest carcass. To him
religion is hypocrisy, honesty a prepa-
ration for fraud, virtue only want of
an opportunity, and undcniable puri
ty, ascetcism. The live-long day he
will coolly sit with snecring lip, utter.
ing sharp speeches in the quietcst
manner, and polished phrase iransiiS
ing every character Which is present
ed. ellis words are softer than oil,
yet they are drawn swords. "Ps. 5:21.
All this to the young seems o wonder
full knowledge of human nature; they
honor n man who appears to havo
found out mankind. They begin to in
dulge themselves in fippant sncers;
and with supercilious brow, and imlip

CuLruRn OF THE RosE. There is no
Touring shrub or plant that requires
manuring so much as the rose, which
produces such a large quantity of flow
ers that the soil within reach Of ths
roots soon becomes exhausted of those
ingredients which are necessary for
sustaining the health and vigor Of the
plant. Well-rotted COW manure is best
for the rose and as the plant is gross

very good effect in conjunction with
manuring.

HEART RELIGIoN.-Religion is in an
eminent degree, the science of the heart,

fiud to justify his suspension of Stanton.
We hear some very strange rumors as TO
who is to be Secretary of War, includ-
ing such men as Mcclellan, Blair, Stead
man, aud Ex-Governor Andrew. The
latter appears to have endeared himself
to Johuson by his opposition to the Mas
sachusetts liquor law. Mcclellan is the
Democratic choice. They want to place
him over the heads of all the officers who
were opposed to him during the war,
and no stone will be left unturned to ac>
complish the purpose. But when Con
gress meets the suspension of Stanton
will terminate and he will be restored,
in spite of everything the President can
dc, and he will retain the position uu.

office, discharging its duties with the
same ability, loyalty and independence
OF the President as he has heretofore

EH- Sheridan, in his letter to Genera !
Grant, says the greatest embarrassment
he met in the work of registration was
the constant rumors of his removal
Unqestionably, they broke down the con,
fdence of the people in his acts, and the
fact of his removal will break down the
respect OF the people for the laws. He
faithfully administered the laws, without
regard to party or politics be was re.
moved for this fidelity; and the laws of
the country have therefore fallen into

EI-The MARYLAND Constitutional Co

ESThe Maryland Constitutional Con-
vention, before adjourning, revised the
old doctrine of human rights, and indi.
Gated what henceforth is to be the sense
of the Democracy on the subject. From
the existing bill of rights it struck out
hc following:
"ARTIcLE l. That we hold it to be
self.evident that all men are created
equally free: that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty and
enjoyment of the proceeds of their own
labor, and the pursuit of happiness"
Considering that the Convention was
composed almost exclusively of men
claiming to be "Jeffersonian Democrats D
