is only through the latter that
we can reach the Northern ear,
and until we do reach it and
convince our Northern friends
of the vile personal character of
the meH who have come here
from all parts Of the country,
not to make a livelihood as good
and worthy citizens, but to
spoliate and live upon the sub
stance of those who are good
and hard working men we can
not expect them to interfere.
The good people of the North
and West do not know that the
scum Of the country have come
down here, and by their impu-
dence have succeeded in reach
ing the higher posts in our gov
eminent. They. do not know
that our best men have been
disfranchised and otherwise
forced into retirement, and that
these vile adventnrers who
have taken their places, have
undertaken to make laws forla
people they know nothing
y
about, a people who disown
them and their doings, who do
not acknowledge them as their
lawful representatives, and do
not recognize them asrespecta-
able men either in private orin
public. The good people of the
North do not know that that
these men have taken a mean
and cruel advantage ofo mis-
fortunes, that they use their
power as Legislators to enact
laws for one purpose alone, and
that is to extract money from
the people, that they are the
companions of the vilest por-
ton of society, that no scheme
of plunder however monstrous
but finds favor among them,
and that they stand ready all
the day long to enact law and
measure, any specializing pro-
ject which is acco npanied by a
sufficient bribe.
tits time that these things
should reach every. fireside in
the North, and to do that we
must avail ourselves of those
publications which are read
there. ~sf
We very much fear that the
query which heads this, article
"Will They Heed Our Remon-
STRANGE" must be answered. in
the negative. You might as
well demonstrate with q band
of professional thieves. You
might as well expect confirmed
criminals to pause in their ca
reer as expect men who are lost
to every sense of honor (aqualT
ity they never possessed) to
change their course at the very
moment they are aboutto real
ize the fruits of their miscon-
duct, Still the people of New
Orleans have now placed them
selves in an attitude to Justify
them in taking. further meas
ures should these reasonable
complaints not be heard and
the evils corrected. We would
not have had them act other
wise than with moderation and
continued forbearance. We are
now in the right and will stand
acquitted before the country If
compulsory measures should
hereafter be adopted.-[ Ne,0

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS. TO
dream Of small stone around your
neck, is sign Of what you may expect
If you get an extravagant wife.
To see apples in dream betokens
wedding, because where you find apples
you may expect to iud pears.
To dream you are lame, is token
you will get into hobble.
When young lady dreams ofa coffin,
it bctokeas that she should discontinue
the use of tight stays, and always go
warmly aud thickly shod in wet weather.
To dream OF FIRE, it is a sign that--if
you are wise you will see that the lights
in your houses are out before you 60 to
bed
To dream that your nose is red at the
tip, is an intimatiou that you had bet
ter leave off brandy aud water.
To dream of walking baretooted, de-
notes a journey that you will make boot
less.

Anecdotes of Washington.


AS what relates to the Father of his
Couutry seems the inhcritcnce of our
nation, the following incideuts-for
which we are indebted to DR.. Alfred
Langdon EIwyu of New York-properly
belong to the public. They are told iu
the unpublished journal OF ore of the
signers of the Declaration of lndepen.
deuce-an authority which places their
reality beyond doubt; and they are of
interest, as revealing the inmost thoughts
in critical periods of some Of the prln.
cipal men of the Revolution.
Shortly after Washington was appoint
ed by Congress commander in chief
that is, in the latter part of May or
the beginning Of Juue, l775; the ex.
act date given in the diary is not re.
membered-aiter the battle of Lcxiug-
ton, but before the Revolutionary War
had fairly b9gun, some intimate friends
gave Il dinner to the General at the
Grays Ferry Tavern, near Philadelphia,
on the opposite bank of the Schuylkill.
The party, Of whom the General was
one, consisted, besides Washington
himself, OF DR.. Franklin, John Adams,
John Langdon, Thomas Jefferson, and
DR.. Benjamin Rush. After diuner,
John Adams filling his glass, rose aud
said: IL propose the health of the
commander in chief of the American
forces - Washington's face became a
little sulfused with emotion and he
started back in his chair, but said
nothing The others filled their glasses
and stood up, exchanging looks. As
by an electric flash, while they glanced
into each others eyes, the feeling came
over all that the occasion was too grave

tain civil war rose darkly before their
minds, aud their wine uutasted, they
sat down in silence!
The other incident shows Washiugs
tons character in new aud interesting
light The narrator, at that time sur.
geon OF Pennsylvania regiment, was
seated in Washington's tent day or
two before the battle OF Trenton. The
General was engaged in writing, when
suddenly tearing off piece of the pa.
per on which he had just scribbicd
something, he crumpled it in his hand,
aud rising from his seat threw it OH the
ground, and then paced the floor alb
sorbed in thought. This act was re
peated several times, aud the doctors
curiosity being aroused, he put his foot
on one of the pieces Of paper which
happened to fall at his feet, and, as
Washington walked away, transferred

quarters he found the words written
were, Victory or Death" : his phrase
was given out the next day to the troops

MIND AND MUsIc.-Whoever said
"show me great fiddler and you show
me great fool" uttered very silly
thing. 1t does not follow that because
people are musical they are therefore
mindless. On the other hand it must
be admitted that, generally speaking, a
tenor singer does--perhaps he cannot
help it--look very like an ass. Italy
has, doubtless, produced vocalists and
violinists OF first-rate talent. Germany,
too, acknowledges for sons many an ac.
compllshed singer and crowds of almost
inspired pianists. With all this, both
countries have reason to be proud of
their philosophers, and of the way in
which philosophy has been cherished,
protected and furthered by them Italy
has certainly one good answer to tho
reproach alluded to. Vincent Galieo
was one of the most distinguished mu.
sicians of Florence. His invention of
recitative did not obstruct the great.
ness of his philosophical son, Calico.
Galileo had an ear for his fathers fid
ding and singing, while he pursued
that chain of discoveries which culmi.
mated in his conviction of the truth of
the Copernican system. TO be the
father OF the greatest philosopher that
ever lived, is no small boast for a fiddler.
1t should of itself mako the old re.
proach obsolete,

BEAUTIFUL FIGURE.-Two painters
were employed to fresco the walls of a
magnificent cathedral; both stood on a
rude scaifolding constructed for the pur.
pose, some eighty feet from the floor
One of them was so intent upon his
work that be became wholly absorbed,
and iu admiration stood off from the
picture, gazing at it with delight. For.
getting where he was, he moved back
ward slowly, surveying critically the
work Of his pencil, until he had neared
the end of the plank upon which he
stood. At this critical moment his
companion turned suddenly, aud, al.
most frozen with horror, beheld his i'm.
minent peril another instant and the
enthusiast would be precipitated upon
the floor beneath; if he spoke to him il
was certain death-if he held his peace
death was equally sure. Suddenly he
regained his presence Of mind, and seiz.
ing wet brush, flung it against the
wall, scattering the beautiful picture
with unsightly blotches Of coloring.-
The painter flew forward and turned
upon his friend with fierce inpreca.
tions but, startled at his ghastly face,
he listened to the recital of danger,
looked over the dread space below, aud
with tears gratitude, blessed the hand
that saved him.

Select Poetry.
WINTER YEsPERS.

How stark the black, unsmiling boughs
Stand out against the sky;
How still and cold,
beneath the mould,
The snOw-drops lie.
How clear the January air
How clear aud exc how still;
Cumc forth, for 10!
The driven snow
Despreads the hill.
How white the mantle of the earth;
Is II for joy or fear2
Is abe "A bride,
Or doth it hide
The buried yearH
How softly through the stiffness steals
How soft, and yet how keen
The evening bell;
How swectly fell
The pause between.
And how, like funeral-trains of nuns,
Upon the hill-sides, slow;
In single rows,
And sable clothes,
Expresses grow.
The cold and cloudlcsJ winter sky
Yet not unfriendly seems;
Days almost done
The slanting sun
Sheds feeble beams.
Rest, earth, beneath thy snowy veil
And we, upon thy breast,
With hope and prayer,
Thy peace shall share,
And make our rest.

VERY CLEvER.-The pastor of one
of the churches in the city of Syracuse,
was catechising the pupils of the Sab
bath School, and asked among other
question, "Where is God 2"
Various answers were returned by
the children, after which the minister
proceeded to speak of the omniSresence
of the Deity, concluding his remarks
with the admonition,
Remember dear children, that God
is everywhere"
The words had hardly escaped his
lips when rougish little fellow rose up
aud said
Please sir, did you say that God was

Yes, my son everywhere"
