The Victory.

The credit of carrying the State by so
triumphant a majority at the recent cleo
ton is claimed by or for q great many pee
ple. A defeat would have put a different
face on affairs, and very much have di-
minished the desire of gentlemen to pub
lish the relation they bore to the liberal
party.
Men are very much inclined in the en-
thusiasm of success to reason themselves
into the belief that they had more to do
With than they really had. From dwell
ing upon the imaginary interesting relation
they bear towards triumph, like story
tellers, they believe their fancieS to be
truth.
A triumphant cause may be ikened to
q fat bullock passing along q shaded road.
Swarms of flies rush forth from their shady
retreats and fasten with alacrity upon his
juicy body. They love it; have always
been devoted to it; were its earliest and
fastest friends-indeed, they have always
loved bullock, and have the highest opinion
of his breeding, his noblcness, and his
blood!
Like that bullock, such cause is often
overdone and damaged by too many
friends-too many prominent men who
claim to have made it and broathed into it
the breath of life. Some of these would
damage any cause, and are to be dreaded.
Now, in our opinion, the cause triumphcd
because it had some hundred and thirty
warm supporters, all of whom,
sooner or later, discovered that it was the
true one, and voted for it. Now, as to
which Of them all was the earliest to find
out the way to triumph, it is hard to tell
among the disputants, some of whom, to
secure the credit of being the first to fore
see something, would no doubt assume that
they discovered all that we now know be-
fore the war
We propose that the question as to who
was first to point out the way to victory
shall be referred to the committee on gas,
and that the contestants before submitting
the grounds of their contest shall renounce
their claims to office.

SoUTHALL and CAMERON have not yet

press and ourselves will beat the Chinese,

nections With the Pacific route ria San
Diego. The scheme was frequently pro-
nounced the grandest ever projected.
DR.. PRETLow's proposition was voted
down. General IMB0DEN's scheme met the
same fate, and then the stockholders &C.
copied the subscription Of LINK & Co.
And no,c this bright sunshine seemed to
have been suddenly withdrawn, and the
company left in profound and impenetra-
bic fog. The arrangement of some out
standing claims against the company-not
large-seemed to have been brought up by
hook or by crook before the payment of the
100000 was made. On this there Yves u
hitch. Mr. LINK required that the claims
should not only be audited but sent to Phil
adelphia What tho company thought of
this may be gathered from their refusal to
consent to it, and Mr.. r. C. LINK shut up
his pocket book and withdrew General
.IABoDEN had departed the day before. So
the company, after an amount of citation
from which it was hard 10 be let down, saw
the grand schemes fade, and had, for
the time, to proceed with business upon the
basis of the local means.
It is very strange that LINK s. Co.
should permit so small sum as $780,
0O0-which is all, we understand, in
dispute-to break off transaction which
Mr.. LINK himself said he had been
trying for six months to consummate.

TylInnical Men.

l Tn1SK most of my readers will
admit that there is found occasionally
such creature as tyrannical man-one
who is such in his family circle, at all
events
have known men who were patterns
of gentlcness aud suavity in their
business relations, who were any
thing but gentle in their domestic rcla-
items. They were not born to rule their
peers; so they ruled over those who were
weaker and more helpless than them
selves--such az wives, and children, and
hired mcu-with rod Of iron. I will
not deal in vague gcneralties, but relate
some instances of petty tyranny of ac-
tual occurrence
There WAS man who had little
meek-faced wife, seven girls, one bow
and large farm. He used to be Obliged
to hire help upon his farm, and of course
he could not get men who would do
work just as he did it him self. In the
planting OF corn or potatoes, if the rows
were not just SO straight, and the hills
just SO far apart, he would rave like
mad man, actually foaming at the mouth.
If there was rake or fork misplaced in
his barn, or bit of litter upon the foo.
h!s anger would break forth in curses
Ills rule i'll the house was absolute. His
wife expressed, in every look and atti
'ued, depreciation and apology. and the
children skulkcd in corners like quails,
when they heard his footstcp upon the
door-stone. He built large house, in
the planning Of which his wife had no
voice; consequently it was the most in
convenient arrangement you can imagine
There was flight of sic stairs from the
kitchen to the dining-room, but none
leading to the chamber, except those
III the front hall. The girls were anx-
ious to have doorstep at the front door.
lie drew large stone, dumped il mid
way between the house and street, and
there it lay for years. They wanted
good door yard fence and gate; he
built one OF coarse, crooked rails, and
had pair of bars They wanted to
keep hens, and have plenty of eggs and
chickens; he would not permit hen to
set foot upon his farm. They wanted
curtains ut the windows, and carpets
upon the floor ; he tore the curtains into
ribbons, and kicked the basket of carpet
rags out of doors. 40 father! do keep
horse?' was the cry of the girls, and
h6 kept the very "pokiest" pair of oxen
he could tind, AT last he got converted"

rouchos of every description OH hand for
the occasion; retinue of servants at
command; in word, they lived in
princely style. attiring in royal purple,
and eating the first fruits of the season !:
sleeping on couches of down. and roll
ing in wealth and luxury generally.
But alas for human pride and vain de-
lusion! In less than three months of
time, the vast possessions suddenly be-
came t'small and beautifully less" Cred
itors clamored in vain for payment OF
bills; their visits were irksome, annoy
ing. and exceedingly unpleasant. Re Re
bert became desperate; he turned upon
the object of his heart, accused her of
extravaganza and bcihg the cause of all
his troubles, soxations, aud downfall.
The affcctionate, Mary became frcn-
zied, sobbed. wept and hurled back the
libel Indignantly; spoke of d ception,
absence OF Judgment, ditto brains, plus
cash: and various other convenient and
ueedful things in the hour of trouble.
Love got alarmed because of the im-
brosiio, and abruptly winged its flight to
sunnier and more congenial cline.
A divorce was obtained in just six
months from the day of marriage, and
two souls once more were happy in the
thought each had triumphed over the
other. One had rid herself of mouster
and fool !; the other got rid of spit
fire and heartless extravaganza.
MoRAL,-All are not diamonds that
sparkle, neither all gold that gltters.
Young ladies, value character and real
worth spurn not the poor young man,
and receive with distrust the attentions
of the rich and favored. a good heart,
pure soul, and noble nature are worth
untold millions.
Young gentlemen, frown not upon OBJ
scufifs tic. most precious gems are al
ways fund in unfrequehtod places. No
amount of luxury or splendor, no face or
form however beautiful or faultless, eau
possibly supply the want of purity, amia-
bilty, simplicity and domestic accom-
rlsh'nents, Blessing and making happy
the longing soul aud loving heart. AS
