Nature and Authors.

There is good material for an ESSAY in
the analysis of the different manner il
which nature is approached by the au
thors, and some chronological develop
ments would be apparent. The earlier
novelists, Mrs. Radcliffe and so on tc
Walter Scott, created landscape as a
background for their people; there were
storms, sunsets, seas. caves, trees and
dark nights, but they fitted into the ex-
igencies of the plot. Never did the moon
shine upon murder, nor the storm beat
upon the happy lovers, when there could
be first choice of weather. With
Wordsworth there came another school,
and nature was awarded some rights OF
her own, but it was Mary Milford who
first asked the reader himself to come out
among the roses or go driving along the
scented lanes. Every body else had de-
scribed.
OF course everything had to be taken
as it was, but she went abroad with us
in her English weather as though she
were a Quaker matron with her quilted
bonnet cover in her pocket, and thele.
fore when the rain came it had no COM
FUNCTIONS and she no disquietude In
these days we investigate nature. We
are not content to see bird fly into the
bushes, but we must beat in after it, to
know what it is-whether it is at home
or merely passing through. The observ.
ers are looking for material and would
as soon go afeld without their hats as
without their notebooks. 1t is a great
gain for literature, but it throws re-
sponsibility upon the people who are
supposed to know.-PetUson' s Magazine.

There are no religious distinctions in
the United States-nO special privileges
and no determinations on account of
UNCONVENTIONAL or sectarian belief
There should be none, and it is unfort
innate that the discussion has arisen
over the appointment by Governor
Northep, prominent Baptist, OF
Patrick Walsh, prominent Roman
Catholic, to the United States Senate.
Governor Northen's pastor. the distin-
guishod DR.. Hawthorne of Atlanta, has
taken up the cudgel in defense of the
action OF the Georgia Governor, while
the American Protective Association,
whatever that may be, with the Iegos
Baptist and the Baptist Standard. in
fiuential church journals, are assailing
him strongly for the appointment.
The matter will furnish. it is said, an
exciting subject of discussion in the
coming Southern Baptist Convention
which meets in Dallas, Texas, soon.-

For the SPECTATOR.
THE RECRUIT.

Old uncle Bob W. Mt to the war.
Decrepit, poor, and cranky;
He'd never seen n railroad car
Had never met Yankee.
He wore a long ana flowing beard,
As white as down of thistle,
But seemed achild. when first he heard
The locomotives whistle.
Then with the lannon's distant roar
A something strange he muttered,
And wildly looked behind, before,
Though not word was uttered.
The Captain quickly marched him out
To the approaching battle;
He quaked to hear the soldiers shout,
And then the musket's rattle.
The battle ragged from morn 10 night;
The dead lay thick, and wounded;
The tagging foe gave up the fight
And retreat was sounded.
Our hero fought the battle through.
Untouched by bomb. or minnie;
Then shouted he with much ado,
''Hurrah for Bob Mckinnie."
Old soldiers rallied round him near,
And laughed in graduation,
But Comrades said he, 81 am here
BY no infatuation."
II have no lands to call my own;
mo slaves to lose, or money;
"Nor am here by bounty won:
Nor for the milk and honey"
I'm here our rights to win, or die,
mot for the golden guinea
"Hurrah," all shouted in reply,
"Hurrah for Bob McKinnie."
Indeed, the bravest of the brave
Was that untitled yeoman,
Nor did banner ever wave
Ger nobler friend, or foeman.
He lived to see his home once more,
His aged wife still living,
And unto death they shared their store,
Receiving love, and giving
In Dixie is his lonely grave
Without stone, OF picket;
Wild grass and florets DER it wave,
And round it is a thicket.
And many snch there are we know,
Like uncle Bob McKinnie;
For Rights they fought our Country's foe,
Not for the shining guinea.
Peace to their ashes Let them restl
Their warfare fully ended;
They wore the gray, they did their best,
And hearth and home defended.
AS often as returns the Spring,
Fresh in her vernal beauty,
Sweet garlands to the sleepers bring
A privilege and duty.
All honor to our DiXies dead
All honor to her living
Around them glory's mantle spread,
Their army wrongs forgiving.
And to our Southern frank and f1le,"
The gunner and guerilla,
Let us erect some worthy pile,
Some monumental pillar.

The USUAL treatment of catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands can
testify Proper local treatment is posi-
lively necessary to success. but many.
if not most, of the remedies in general
use afford but temporary relief. A
cure certainly cannot be expected from
snuffs, powders, douches and washes.

commended, is remedy which com
bines the important requisites of quick
action. specific curative power, with

The history of the old world is fille6
with warfare entered into between ma
lions and among own countrymen un
der the guise of religion. The results
were for the most part disastrous anc
now in these latter days when we OBJ
serve the freedom of the nations of the
world from such conflicts we can but
conclude that the true element of relig
ion has prevailed and warfare among
nations and between people has been
overcome by the broadening spirit OF
brotherly love and the recognition of
the true religion aside from creed OF
doctrine.
We believe religions highest d ,ty to
be to reform politicians not politics.
Reform the one who constitutes the
other and the grandest and surest re-
suit has been obtained. Not but what
a mans moral character can be brought
into consideration when he is being put
in nomination for some public office,
but let questions of mans religious
creed or belief not enter into affairs in
which religion is not directly or indi-
rectly oncerned.-RO0n0ke Times.
