An illustrative instance Of heightened
thOughtfulness and delicate aattery on the
part of the duchess may ftly close this no.
tice


An American lady was riding out with her
and seemed particularly struck with the vari-
ETY. and beauty of the heather, which fringed
the path, and made many inquiries about it.


On returning from the drive, while this
lady was dressing for dinner, basket was
brought to her apartment, in which every
species Ofheather known in Scotland was re-
presented-each kind with a neat label Gfix-
ed to it, giving its botanical name. That
evening the floral ornaments Of the dinner
table were all of heather, the centre piece be
ing beautiful statuette Of Highland Mary {;
and the duchess wore heather for her head
dress, saying to her friend, - You see what
pleasure it gives Us Scotch people to have
our native productions appreciated. Aser-
vice of china was used on the dinner table,
on which heather was exquisitely painted.
This could not. of course, have been got up to
order, and its existence among the repositO-
ries of the castle showed that the duchess
must have appreciated the flower long before.

Not great while ago an Irishman
was employed in a village where he
was well known to dig well pro bono
pubhco, The contract was made that
he was to be paid certain sum per
foot, and warrant a free supply of
water. At it he went with a good
will, and his daily progress was watch
ed intently by interested parties.
Early and late he delysd down in the
earth, full Of confidence in the speedy
completion of his labors. He had
reached the depth Of about twenty
five feet and soon expected to "strike

turned to the scene of his labors, and

ful visage upon the wreck, ,Iand thought
of the additional labor the accident
would cost him. H CIT


After a moments reflection he gazed
earnestly around and saw no one STIR

his hat and coat he hung them on the
windlass, and speedily made tracks for
a neighboring emineuce that over
looked the village Here, hid amongst
the underground, he quietly awaited
the progress of events. As the morn
ing wore on, the inhabitants began to
arouse and stir out. Several were at

Pats coat and hat were there, he was
below Of course, at work Soon the
alarm was raised that the well had
caved in and Pat was in it. A crowd
was collected and soon stood Mortified
at the fate Of poor Pat. A brief con-
sultation was held, and soon spades
and other implements we're brought to
dig out the remains of the. Snfortunate
man. To work they went with 2 will,
when one set became weary with tlhu-
sual labor, a dozen ready hands grasped
the implements and dug Justify. ,e5


Pat quietly looked on them from his
retreat on the eminense while the
whole village stood around the wen,
and silently watched with breathlesS
suspense the work 60 bravely on. As
the diggers approached the bottom the
excitement Of the ISLANDERS grew IN
tense and they collected as near as
safety would admit, gazing fearfnIly in
to the well. With great care and pre-
caution the dirt was dug away, and
when the bottom was at length reach

crowd, before SO anxious, relaxed in
to broad grin, which broke forth in
uproarious merriment when the veneF-

Certain political agitators, who are more
honest than discreet, and some demagogues
who are neither honest or discreet, are
busily engaged organizing crusade to OBJ
tain office for negroes as negroes. The
negro as man has obtained freedom, with
equality of civil rights, and will soon be
admitted to the suffrage on the same foot
ing AZ other citizens, under the operation
of the Fifteenth Amendment These re-
suits, which vindicate our boast of possess
ing free institutions, cost the Republic half
a century of debate, a terrible civil war
and burdensome debt The country is
stronger and purer for enfranchising the
black man while defending its political
unity, and no true patriot regrets the in
cidental advantage which the black has
secured, whether the freeing of the slave
was an original motive or not. But these
circumstances afford no reason for making
the negro perpetual stalking horse of party
The zeal of those who insist upon forcing
him into Office on the distinct ground Of
race is just as much to be deprecated as
the prejudice which would utterly exclude
him on the same ground.


The fact is, it is time that the negro was
dropped as a distinct political issue. Sc
cured in his freedom, in his equality be.
fore the law, in the privilege of the ballot,
in the enjoyment of public provisions for
education, he can well be left to work out
his own salvation as other classes of ou,
people are obliged TO do. So far as exist
ing prejudices against him are unreasonable
and eradicable, they can best be left to the
gradual influences of time and intelligence,
aided by the self-improving efforts and
general good behavior of the negro himself.
1t was outrageous to enslave him, it was
unjust to deny him an equal standing be-
fore the law, itwas impolitic to deny him
citizenship, as it is foolish to fear his COM
petition in any walk of life and eowardly
