SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY-READ AND

We should be faithless to our trust as
journalist, did we not keep the people
advised Of what the enemies Of peace,
justice, good order and the Constitution
are saying, and promising to do under
certain contingencies. If there is very
considerable class who do not intend to
abide by the laws under any contingency
that may happen, tits important for all
to know it,
Wade Hampton, the chief Southern
Democratic leader, in his first speech af.
ter the nominations, said that Seymour

announces that

Napoleon, wishing to avoid scene in the pal

the Empress in his arms; the Emperor
went first, descending backwards and holding
Josephine's feet. When half way down NJ

Miscellany.
The vi odern virginiass.

But you will find in Virginia nothing more
remarkable than the Virginians. Truly they
are q race by themselves, not to be coniOund-
ed with their southern any more than their
northern neighbors; though Virginia has
been the New England of the South, and you
find its children and its customs from the Po-
tOmac to the Rio Grande. l entered the
State from the southwark after sOjourn OF
months among the people of the other Allan
tic States yet l was at once struck by the
pecuiarities of the people. There are three
Classes of observation-disclosures southern
ers and Virginians; and perhaps the Virgin
ians form the most distinct OF these classes.
And yet this class is distinguished, not so
much by what it does as by what it claims
Salt- appreciation is the cardinal virtue of the
Virginian. 1t is not conceit; it is not even
offensive, like conceit. The tone in which
he says Il am Vireinian," betokens pride,
perhaps, but not naughtiness, and more Iev-
erence than pride; as il the Vir inan were
something superior to mere man, species
OF demigod, not to be named carelessly; vet
graciously taking cOgnizance of the existence
OF human beings, and even thinking kindly OF
them and willing to live among them. The
expression of this feeling is somewhat i'm
posing to one who has always thought HIM
self made OF common clay. He regards these
cOmplacent Virgnians with a feeling akin
to awe, until he knows something more OF
them than their opinion concerning them
selves. Afterwards, when he finds that
these men who take this announce
ment OF his northern nativity as con-
fessiOn or inferiority are rather remarkable
for their inability 10 adapt themselves to cir
cumstances than for anythings; when he
sees the state inhabited by these people one
of the richest by nature and one of the ear
liest settled in the Union, yet one OF the
lea developed, and one OF the poorest; its
people lacking energy and lacking culture
its agriculture OF the rudest; its schools rare
and poor, without scholars; without states
men, with no great men except soldiers; and
when he reflects that the pride of the mod
ern Virginian rests ON great names, not great
men, the assumption of superiority seems
ridiculous rather than impossible.
This conviction of superiority is is not I'M
pleasant to the traveller; it is rather anus
ing. But to the northern immigrant it is
more offensive than actual violence. Virgin
ians often welcome him to the State. They
hope and believe that his energy and bis
money will be advantageous TO the State land
to the people of the State. They treat him
courteously and even kindly. But he is nev-
er received by them ON a footing of social
equality. From their assumed position of
calm superiority they look down upon him
not contemptuously probably, but still the
glance is Enthusiastically downwards; and it is
not necessary to say that people of educa-
ton and culture and refinement will not bear
such disparagcment from their equals, much
less from people whose only claim to superb
ority is the fact that they we've born in Vir-
ginia.-Letter .frem Virginia.

Steamer.

Steamer.
The Milwaukee Wisconsin saws an excit-
ing scene occurred on the passage of steam
er from Chicago few nights since An in
sane woman slipped unobserved away from
her guardians, and after fruitless search
for her, one OF the sailors discovered through
the darkness of the nighr a singular object
on the walking beam of the boat. Lights were
brought, when it was found that the object
was the insane woman. She sat ON the
walking beam as a lady would sit GU a side
saddle, and appeared to take extreme de-
light in being borne up and down with it.
As the passengers focked around she be-
came more excited, and behaved more and
more recklessly, and it was feared she would
fall among the machinery and be crushed
TO death. heavy sea was running and it
was not safe TO stop the engines, but they
were slowed, al which the poor woman APP
peared indignant and made motions with
her body as boy will with rocking horse
TO have il 60 faster, and threatening to
Jump off if 1t did not. How to get her off
was question. The passengers were re-
quested to move away, which they did, and
then several Of the crew, after a number OF
attemps, succeeded in grasping' the woman
as the walking beam came down aud rescued
her, much to her regret. How she got upon
her dangerous perch was mystery.

WITH PERFECT EAR-oF CORN
In the days when marble beauty
Was worshipped in Homer lahu'
Men bullded a fame at Cntdos
To hallow the Dorian stand,
And Athens gave them st tue
From their greatest masters Land.
Aphrodite was their goddess,
When beauty and goodness were one;
Ev'n as now-ht lin, s-if seldom,
In forms not made of stone,
To be good we tnd-and be lovely
Was not given o gods alone.
Those Greeks-tley had finer senses,
1t is thought in those old days
Though never kuskin had schooled them
On grace and its rules and its ways
And the perfect ear of Praxitees
Woke Dorian poets praise
Art needs the poet and critic
To MAKE men understand;
Rnt behold an Ear past pIaisng,
From greater Masters handi
Who holds the spring-time and seed time,
And the harvest in command.
The rose hath flaw-and the ruby,
Had we but fine eyes to see:
My gift-like the worlds not Iaultess,
But will something nearer be,
In my thought, TO perfection,
When 1t cometh, my love, to thee. ~ -,
