MIR. BRYANT's PERSONALITY.

Mr.. Bryant was poet who could
take care of himself, and get living.
He could not only do this, but he could
do wise and manly part in guiding
the politics Of the country. He could
not only manage his own private and
family affairs in prosperous way, but
he could discharge his duties as a citi-
zen and member of society. In his
own personal character and history he
associated probity with genius, purity
with art, and the sweetest Christianity
with the highest culture. He has proved
to all the younger generation of poets
that Mysteries are not inspiration, that
improvidence is not an unerring sign of
genius, that Christian character are not
indications of weakness but are rather
a measure of strength, and that man
may be poet and poet a man. So
much of a certain sort Of eccentricity
has been associated with the poetic tenn
permanent and with poetic pursuity, that
in some minds. the possession Of practi-
cal gifts and homely virtues is supposed
to invalldate all claims to genius. If
Mr.. Bryant's life had accomplished moth
ing more than to prove the falsity of
this wretched notion, it would have
been a fruitful one. .
It certainly is to be hoped that the
world is outliving the fancy that man
in order to be great poet must be ex-
ceptionalIy an ass in every other depart
ment of life and effort,-that he must
be an infdel in the realm of religion, a
spendthrift in his habits, an unsafe man
with women, wine-blbber at his table,
and man whose butcher and tailor are
sufferers by whatsoever sums they may
trust to him. Let us be thankful that
Mr.. Bryant has made it eminently
proper for genius to be respectable and
we'll behaved, and that laziness and ip-
providence and licentiousness can never
quote his example among their excuses.
At time when feeble men with po-
etic streak in them running through a
worthless nature and character are striv-
ing to attract attention, and when irre-
ligion and immortality are determined to
assert respectable place for themselves
in the worlds regard, the celebration of
Mr.. Bryant's virtues, even though it be
held above his grave, comes like a be-
nign reproof and sweet benediction to
his countrymen.-From DR.. Holland S

A USEFUL CIRCULAR.

At time when there is SO general
desire to ascertain all the facts about
currency of the country, and particularly
when it is very important to have relia-
BILE data promulgated to counteract the
falsehoods of the infationists, official
statements of the treasury department
has recognized this necessity, and has
met the popular demand for information
by issuing several circulars respecting
the condition Of the treasury and other
facts relating to national finances. One
of the most important of the circulars
issued by the department is sheet just
sent out, showing the amount of State,
National bank and United States notes
outstanding at the close of each fiscal
year June 3O) from 1860 to 1873 in
elusive.
The paper circulation of the country
June 80, 1860, was confined to state
banks, and amounted to $207, ,102,477
at that date. In 1868, before the Ma
tional banking act was in force, the
circulation of State banks had increased
to $238, 8,677,218. From that date the
circulation of banks of this description
has rapidly decreased until June 80,
1878, the amount of such paper out
standing was only $426,504.
From the year when the United States
notes were issued until the present time
the following were the amounts Of State,
National Bank and United States notes
outstanding at the end of each fiscal year,
and their value in coin -

to prevent the growth of what they are
beginning to call "the new danger" but
everywhere they are calling upon their
partisans te remain "loyal to the old
party" The State central committee of
Alabama has given the matter most Sc
rious consideration, and the result of its
deliberations has been the publication of
an address in which all Democrats who
run as Independent candidates are threat
ened with sort of POLITICAL excommu-
nieation. They are warned that in, case
of their election they need hope for no
companionship save that of radicals and
negroes, and it is declared that Indepen-
dents who may secure seat in legisla-
ture will not be permitted to enter the
Democratic caucus. It is just possible
that the Republican and Independent
union thus foreshaded would place the
Democrats in such minority that ad-
mission to their caucus would not be so
much sought after as it is at present.

WANTED A BOY.

He had been hanging about the depot
all day-a forlorn looking youngster in
blouse suit. gingham apron, and wide
brimmed straw hat. Every now and
then he would approach traveller and
enquire anxiously want boy, sir ?"
But no one seemed to want a boy. They
would glance down quizzically at him,
and tell him he'd better run home.
Poor little fellow, he held out pretty
we'll until along toward night, when he
began to get very tired and a look of
Encouragement crept into his great blue
eyes. Dear me, | thought to myself, [
wish somebody did want a boy, for it
seemed just as if some mother ought to
take him in her arms and rock him to
sleep.
By and by an old farmer, in shabby
coat and slouched hat, came in and sat
down to wait for the train.
"Don't you want boy, sir?" said
the baby voice SO plaintively; "I've

SCRIPTURAL CASES OF IMMERsIoN.-
We have in our city a colored barber,
who is a very enthusiastic Baptist, and
frequently engages in theological discus
sions. I approached him one day while
entangled in one of these discussions
with an old German from the country.
The barber had evidently been advocat-
ing rather strongly the doctrine or
practice of immersion.
"Well," said the German. 81 joost
don't remember but three places. The
first was where the Egyptians were pur.
suring the Israelites through the Red
Sea, and the Lord caused the waters to
flow back on them, and they were all
immersed. The second place was where
the Lord commanded Noah to take all
his family into the Ark, after which He
caused it to rain for forty days and
nights, and all those outside the ark
were immersed. The third place was
where the Saviour caused the devils to
go into the herd of swine, and they
rushed down steep hill into the sea,
and they were all immersed"
The only reply the barber made to
this was, ..Yas yasl yas !"-Hasper's
Magazine.

THE FALSE DAWN.
BY HOWARD GLYNDoN.

1t crept along the quiet sky.
So family, delicately fair,
Such flush might warm an angels cheek
Yet leave no stain of passion there.
And up the great white hills it climbed,
When il had stayed space below,
To iris all the soothed sea
That was so 10th TO let 1t go.
Till the still world was like rose
Whose breast has never know the sun,
Whose life, in silence and faint light,
So dewy fresh, hath just begun.
With forerunner such as this
What shall the full-blown morning be?
Dlvinely sweet, still miracle.
What fairer can come after thee?
And then we waited for the sun
To part pink curtains and peep out
So sure We were one little look
Would cure him of all dainty doubt.
Not up into the waiting East
One arrow from his quiver sprang.
And in the wood the drowsy choir
No prelude to his coming sang.
And slowly, slowly, from the earth,
And slowly, slowly, from the sky,
The beautiful, mysterious light
That had deceived and passed us by
Trembled and flickered. paled and waned,
As you have seen Hopes red go out
And leave pitiful pale cheek
Above heart that aches with doubt

RosEwooD.-It has puzzled many to
decide why the dark wood SO highly
valued for pianos and in these times so
cleyerly initiated, should be called rose
wood. It's color, certainly, does not
look like that of a rose but when the
tree is first cut, the fresh wood possesses
strong, rose-like fragrance hence the
name. There are half dozen or more
kinds of rosewood trees found in South
America and in the East Indies and
neighboring islands. Sometimes the
trees grow SO large that planks four feet
broad and ten feet in length can be cut
from them. The broad planks are prin-
cipally used to make tops for piano fortes.
When growing the rosewood tree is re-
markable for its beauty; but such is its
value In manufactures as an ornamental
wood. that some of the forests where it
once grew abundantly have now hardly
single specimen. In Madras the gov
ernment has prudently had large planta'
tions of this tree set out in order to
keep up the supply.
