Vanity.


The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And the day and night are the same as
one;
The year grows green ana the year grows
brown,
And what is it all when all is done?
Grains of somber or shining sand,
Sliding into and out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas,
And ahundred ships are the same as one,
And backward and forward blows the
breeze,
And what is all when all is done
A tide with never q shore in sight,
Steedily, steadily on to the night.
The fisherman droppeth his net in the
stream,
And a hundred streams are the same as
ONE
And a maiden dreameth love-lit dream,
And what isit all when all is done
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And after dreaming the dreamer wakes.

to promote paltry and personal
ends. The Puritans, when they
canted aboutreligiousliberty, were
seeking the power to prosecute
Quakers and Baptists. When
they canted about godliness they
were demonstrating their right to
engage in the slave trade and burn
witches. So their descendants,
when they made war for "the best
government the world ever saw"
were only seeking power to over
ride its Constitution and tinker
it to death with amendments and
new principles Of construction Oh
reconstruction Louisville Cou-
rier.

UNCHANGABLE.-Things do
not change in the East. As
Abraham pitched his tent in
Bethel, so does an Arab sheik
now set his camp; as David
built has palace on Mount
Zion, so would a Turkish pa
sha now arrange his house /; in
every street may be seen the
hairy children of Esau, squat
ting on the ground, devouring
a mass of lentile like that for
which the young hunter sold
his birthright; along every road
plod the sons ofRechab, whose
fathers one thousand years ago
bound themselves and theirs
to drink no wine, plant no tree,
enter within no door, and their
children have kept the oath /;
at every khan young men
around the pan of parched corn
dip their morsel into the dish;
Jobs plough is still used, and
the seed is still trodden into
the ground by asses and kline.
Olives are shaken from the
boughs, as is directed by Isaiah,
and the grating of trees is UNI
changed since the days of Saul.
The Syrian house is still, as for
merly, only a stone tent, as a
temple was but a marble tent.
What is seen now in Bethany
may be taken as the exact
house of Lazarus, where Mary
llstend and Martha toiled; or
as the house ofSimon the leper,
where the precious box of
ointment was broken, and
whence Judas set out to betray
his Master.-[Dickens' All the
Year Round.

From the Ouachita Telegraph.
Well and Nobly Said.

We have seldom met with
anything in our journalistic ex-
perience, of a strictly newspa-
per bearing, which has moved
us so much to scorn and hate
of oppression and admiration
of dignified submission to what
cannot be helped, as the follow
ing feeling valedictory of our
young friend, J. M. Scanland,
ESQ.,, of the Natchitoches Spec
tator, to his readers upon the
occasion of the transfer of his
material to the proprietors of
a Radical paper in the same
town. It is hard indeed to be
driven by legalized robbery,
out of a profession in which
one has struggled so manfully.
and zealously as our worthy
young friend has as editor and
printer from boyhood to mans
estate. Here we have instance
and one that appeals to the
sense of justice of every white
man in the State-of the wicked
results of Radical prescription
of the press. Here we see the
first victim of John Rays cold
blooded policy of Democratic
starvation and Radical obesity.
He and his satellites will
doubtless chuckle over the par
tial success of their infamous
shemes, and congratulate them
selves that with the filched
dollars they have obtained from
the people Radical publishers
will be able at least to absorb
every Democratic press in the
State and thus rid themselves
OF a troublesome nest of "vi-
pers," as Mr.. Ray has styled
the Democratic papers. And
so the fiends of hell chuckle
when a good man falls. But
the recollection of these things
will remain. 1t is beyond the
power and ken of Radicals to
destroy that. The people are
looking on and will treasure up
the wrong, as one inflicted di-
rectly upon them. A day will
yet dawn when their powerful
voices will be heard, and when
there will be a strict and swift
reckoning with all those who,
in the dreamy security of mo-
mentary power, have dared
tamper with rights and priv
leges of the people:

Circumstances beyond our
control forces us to this STEP
the profession which we labor
ed SO long in our youth to
acquire and in the pursuit of
which we have earnestly bat
tied in this world of strife and
contention for the common
right of existence, has been
prescribed by a partisan legis-
lature. Of course, being inter-
ested, we think such class leg
islation unjust-others, inter-
ested, may think different !;
while those not affected may
may think very little about it,
and care less. We feel it Sc
verely-friends may sympa-
thize with us, but they will
not feel and experience it's sac
rificing effects as we do. This
is but natural;-human nature
is the same the world over
based upon the principles. or
rather instincts, of personal in
tcrest and self-love. We ask
no fearful prayers in our behalf,
nor do we take the matter Sc
riously at heart, but will cheer
fully bear up as best we can
under the depressing circum-
stances. Life is composed of
a series of successes and mis-
fortunes-none can reasonably
expect to escape the DEGREES OF
fate; each and every actor must
receive his portion of the
worlds happiness and misery,
Who experiences the one and
not the other, sees but the
bright side Of the picture
knows not world he inhabits,
and has lived in vain.
We return our heartfelt and
most sincere thanks to oul
patrons and friends for the
many liberal professional favors
and other courtisies extended
us, and shall ever remember
them with commingled feelings
of gratitude and friendship
We cast aside the pen, vacate
the chair editorial, bid an af
fectionate adieu to all, and
seek the cool and refreshing
shades of retirement.

Loyalty.


the sweetest fruit of the Orient
unless it is offered in the name of
the Prophet, so there is a class of
persons in this country who avoid
everything as unclean and impi-
GUS till it is inspected and brand
ed as "trooly loil.7 The jockey
who rode the winning camel in
the great hegira race has quite a
reputation as a great prophet, but
the profits of loyalty in this coun
try could buy all the treasures he
ever won by faith or armies. From
the pulpit to the cockpit, loyalty
is now the only currency. 1t buys
the right to vote and the right to
hold Office. So far as holding Of
flee is concerned, loyalty was worth
more to Sam Mckee than the,
overwhelming vote of the people
was to his opponent. 1t can buy

every crime, though you have
committed more than were charg-
ed to Warren. Hastings in India.
You may invade city, STAY your
thousands, confscate all the mon

whisky and steal all the toddy
spoons, but if you are "trooly

you are disloyal, you can neither

has grounds for divorce into the
bargain.
AS the "trooly loil" are to have
everything their own way, it is
very nice and comfortable to be
one of them, and so it becomes
highly important to know how.
Nothingis easier to learn, andnoth-
ing is easier to practice provided
you are not troubled with a mind
or conscience Of your own, and
have no "splinters of our shatter-
ed Constitution sticking in your
kidneys" You have only to take
the New Yorks Tribune, or any
other leading Radical paper, and
learn from it that the Democrats
in Maine and Vermont, like those
in Texas and everywhere else, are
disloyal rebels and muderous Ku
kluxes. No man can vote with
them aud be ''trooly loil." All who
do are enemies of the country,

vote as the Radicals tell them, arc

low. Whilst the arrangements here proposed
evince spirit Of commendable energy, and
viii be of advantage to immigrants, the treat
ment which the Chinese are receiving IN GALL
fornia is calculated to diminish rather than in
crease the labor which is 30 much needed. A
writer in Lippincott says that, in consequence
of the hostility manifested to them, notable
exodus Of the Chinese has begun, and that the
departures are now greatly in excess Of the new
arrivals. This is an untimely thing, IN view OF
the oontemporaneous visit Of the Chinese En-
bassy to this country and the expectations
which we're based upon the tendency Of the
completion of the Pacific Railway to make
Asiatic labor abundant. The industry Of the
Chinese has already contributed greatly to the
construction of theS national work, as it has
done to the E1iils and railways OF California.
The labor Of that people is eagerly availed OF
elsewhere. In Cuba they constitute fifty thou
sand ofthe population, where, though they have
been imported by speculators, and during the
term Of eight gears which they are contracted
for, only receive four dollars per month, with
subsistence and clothing, few Of them return to
China, as they prefer to remain in Cuba, and
are authorized to do SO by becoming Roman
Catholics.

The Union Democracy-sational Organ
ization.

The necessity of thorough organization
in the present campaign is generally recog-
nized; but it was at one time feared that
sufficient pains would not be taken to unite
all the States in the Union in one grand po-
litical society, through which the power OF
the Union Democracy could be e1erted as
that of one man in the interests Of the Union
and constitution. We are pleased to learn
that this great work has not been over
looked, and that such an organization has
already been founded in nearly every State.
This gratifying result, as far as the South
ern States are concerned, grows out Of the
labors of Mr.. EDWIN DELEoN, native Of
Columbia in this State, but now resident
of New York Mr.. DELEoN has conferred
with .ne Democratic leaders in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia, as well as
il South Carolina, and has met with sue
cess which augurs well for the victory Of
the Democracy in November.

The Charleston Memorial.

The New York Times, in discussing the
probabilities of September session Of Con-
gress, takes the ground that the meeting of
that body can only be justified "by manifest
sand proper reasons, and by definite and
s.judicious action" 1t believes that the pur-
poses Of the Executive are uncertain; and
says that the want of confidence in his good
faith, and fear that he may pervert the
opportunities of his position, are the root Of
whatever strength there is in the movement
for session in November.
The Times thinks that this feeling will
not be abated by the interview Of the Presi
dent with the Tennessee and Charleston
delegations. In the one case he suggested,
says the Times, that the militia was to be
used "to impair electoral freedom" while
BRowNLow declares that it is only needed
for the repression Of disturbances and the
punishment of marauders. Having summa-
rily disposed of the Tennessee matter, the
Times continues as follows:
'In the case of Charleston, we are unable to
understand on what ground the President
s'listened to an application for interference

'.tive, unless it be on the principle, affirmed
