service, and retain their names on the
roll of the Company.

pastime the past week, and Sylvester's
Hill is still scene of gaity every night.
Sleds of all descriptions have been
brought into requisition, and boys and
girls, and young men and maidens, vie
with each other in their enjoyment Of
the cold sport. 1t is really surprising
what amount of endurance the fair sex
possess. It is said that some girls too
frail for kitchen work have performed
the most herculean feats on the ice.

Sc The number of contested seats
in the next House, will probably be
greater than for several years past. 1t
is estimated by tho N. Y. Ne,cs that
about one-half Of the contestants, so far
as yet known, will be Republicans.
This indicates that the members of that
party have confidence that q Democratic
House will decide their cases on the
principles of justice and fairness. But
very few Democrats have had the to-
merity for ten years past to contest the
seats of Republicans, while, on the
other hand, it has rarely happened that
any Republican contrasting the seat Of
Democrat, even on the most frivolous
pretexts, has failed to get it.

alluded to were committed by colored

figures to back them up. The

GREEN VERSUS ORANGE.

The passion for emblems is one OF the
most deep seated and powerful in the
breast Of the average civilized being.
Springing as it does from the poetic ele.
ment in human nature, and fostered as it
is by hallowed associations. it furnishes
one Of the strongest incentives TO action
that can possibly be appealed to. even
self-interest frequently losing its power
when opposed to this higher stimulus.
Inconsistently, yet naturally. the sight OF
beloved emblem will arouse more emo.
ton than an appeal 20 the principles
which the symbol may represent. For
instance. the knight Of old. sworn to
rescue the Holy Sepulchre from the in.
fidef. his mantle. sword hilt and banner.

have cheerfully laid down his life rather
than suffer a profane touch to desecrate
the sacred emblem: yet his heart might

and all nncharitableness toward some
rival champion, bent on the same sacred
GRAND. and his whole life constant yio.
htiop Of every precept which that cross
symbolized.
It is the same with national emblems.
A Confederate officer, since the war,
speaking Of his military experience, con.
fessed that when he first found himself
confronted with the stars and stripes as
an enemy his heart tor moment sunk

was not unique.
Weak and bombastic wQuld-be orators
