NVk<> Ill H.,n..,v 1,s..r h. IT. x1~<>r,,2

Who shall judge man from his manners
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes. '.
Princes ft for something less.
Crumbled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe tho golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings:
Satin vest can do NO more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out Of stone:
There are purple beds aud golden,
Hidden, crushed, and overthrown.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones, the highest,
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his follows.
OFT forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men!
Men of labor, men Of feeling,
Men Of thought, md men Of fame,
Cleiming equal rights to sunshine
In q mans ennobling name
There ore foom-embroidered oceans,
There are little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and proapers you and me;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are As pebbles in the sen.
Toiling hands alone are builders,
OF nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened ON the same;
By the sweat Of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifts it's feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is . sunny right.
God, whose worldwide voice is singing
Bonndless love to You and me,
Links oppression with its titles
But a. pebbles in the sea.

The RIGHTS OF PAssExeERs--The
binding force OF Of passengers ticket upon
the company that issues it has recently
been established upon very stringent prin-
ciples. In several States it has been deci-
dcd that the limit as to time which is
usually printed on tickets has no validity,
andthat ticket must be accepted at any
time, subject only to the statute of limita-
tions in the some manner as any other
contract. But q Boston. court has now
given much stricter Interpretation Of tho
obligation Of the company, holding that
ticket from New Haven to New York mus
be received as on equivalent for the pur-
chaser's fare from New York to New Haven.
This question came up in the case Of
man who had been put off the cars, and
who has recovered damages in the sum
of 1000.

At meeting OF the Sub-Gran

night, August 18th, the followin,
series Of resolutions. presented b,
L. A. Fuller, Esq, were unanimous
ly adopted:
"WuEREAs, during the deliberations. o
the Republican. Convention, assembled j,
Sew Orleans, on tho ninth inst, presided
over by II. j. Campbell, resolutions, Gu
dorsing U. S. Grant, for President, ani
Henry Wilson, for Vice President, were
adopted, and, whereas, Lieut.. Governo,
Pinchback did surrender all previous per.
sonal and political interests with Gov. H.
c. Warmoth, by boldly advocating the
necessity Of that Conventions endorsement
Of the National Republican Ticket, there
by compelling sixty-seven white (and We
regret to say, seventeen colored, delegates
to announce themselves against the Re-
publican party, and leaving Lieut.. Gov.
Pinchback and over one hundred true Re-
publicans in Convention assembled, all
earnestly desirous Of reconciliation be-
tween themselves and tho National Repub-
lican party, whose State Executive Com
mittce is presided over by Hon. S. E.
Packard. Therefore, be it
Resolced, That We, the members of the
Sub-Grsnt Republican Club OF East Baton
Rouge, do hereby express our heartfelt
qualification at the course of Lieut.. Cover
nor Pinchback and those that remained
true to him and the Republican party,
Notwithstanding the powerful influences
brough to bear upon them to pursue
different course, and, especially, at the
determined position assumed by tho en-
tire delegation from our Parish IN. Un-
derwood, excepted.) Be it further
Resolced, That we, as should the Re:
publicans Of the entire State, view the,
action of Lieut.. Gov. Pinchback, and
those of the Convention who remained
with him, the first and most conspicuous
initiatory step towards harmonizins the
Republican party of this State, better sus-
taincd by the subsequent action of the
Convention, in authorizing their State
Executive Committee to accept resigna-
tions md fill vacancies that might occur,
md in tho pledge, each nominee gave, to
if necessary, for unity. Be it
further
Resolretl, That We do but express the
sentiments of the Republicans of this
State, in saying that the entire work of
now rests only with the two
State Committees, and we earnestly hope
that these Committees will view the situa-
lion in its proper light, with no other view
than the unity Of the Republican party.

GENIUS A AMALApY.-Thinkers thore
are who contend that genius, like
insanity, is q symptom Of disease Of
the brain. It cannot be denied that
a large number Of the geniuses Of
the world have been either melan-
cholic or very encentric, and in
some instances have been the vic
Tins Of violent and repeated attacks
of insanity. DR.. johnson was
hypochondriacal, and in various
ways gave evidence Of q morbid
condition of the brain. Atthe early
age Of twenty he became victim
of melancholic delusions, and from
that time forword was never happy.
His violent impetuosity and un-
reasonably prejudices may thus be
accounted for. Southey lived for
years in perpetual dread Of Insanity,
and when at last he kneeled in the
furrow, worn out through mental
excitementan fatigue, he composed
that most instructive and useful of
his works, "The Life of Covper."
That Rosseau was q lunatic will be
admitted without question by those
who have studied his life and his
writings, however ardenty they may
admire his genius. Paschal was one
Of. the most original thinkers in
France, but no inmate Of any asy-
lum ever presented mofe indisputa-
BILE proofs of mental disease than
those which characterised his whole
career. All his life he walked in.

Of love, confidence hope, trust,

very soon cut away and the scars

Of change from q vicious lonely life,
to one of female association and re.
finement, is also slow and tedious;
but the metamorphic change is sure
to take place under the love, judgg-
ment and guidance ofa true woman.

will burnish it to such q brightness
that it's kind and quality can soon

istingui,Ilcd Arrival"

A very handsome pair Of pure thorough.
bred, Chester White Pigs arrived ut the Depot
u few days ago, on their way to the south side
Of Men MINI county. The boar pig"2d Baron Of
Chester" belonged to Capt. Turlcy, one Of the
most cntcrprsing men In the county. Tho
following is his "pedgrcc," Us furnished by
Col. Bcal;
"2d Baron Of Chester, piggcd October 18th
ISL, and bred by \. 7, Bcol, Meadow Brook
Farm, near Rogcrsyillc, T.. Tennessee.
Sire, Baron of Chester, no. ,, from West
Chester, Pennsylvania.
Dam, Martha Washington, No. ., from West
Chester, Pennsylvania"
The SOW pig, "Katic Bleyins,' with the
same pedigree belonged to W. c. Vaughan, AT
Cane Creek Academy.
These pigs were selected by Mr.. Vaughan
while in upper East Tennessee. and they are
mates to the one that Col. BeaI sent Col. Dick.
inson. at Knoxville, and whose arrival a'
chrOnicici in the Press dHd U,rdld. created
such profound sensation in that rising and
wide awake city. Those who have seen these
pigs represent that they can not be surpassed
ia beauty OF form, size, color, bone. and every
thing requisite to finish of a complete hog.
Cob Beal il breeder ofJcrsy Cattle, Chester
Pigs, Cashmere Goats, shepherd Dogs. &c.
and ha, spared neither expense nor pains tc
procure the very best stock in the United
States. A small amount Of money expended
for good breeding stock, would add very much
to the success and prosperity 81 our farmers
and we hope that many of them will follow The
example Of Messrs. Turley and Vaughan.
