T TSOMAt HOOD. 5" , "The Demon Ship" ia one of the meat impressive, ihotfgh finally grotesqm, ballads, Hood ever wrote. - The hero of thia ballad, who tells his own sad slo-ty, ia eaaght, in small boat, by a storm as he is sailing off the Washi a stretch of water, farming a bay between tke ooanties of Linooln and Norfolk, on the coast ot FD 7.13 -1, He describes the coming of thetQ''ithcUa'n a roaring anrrioane beset the straining saai. ; What furious sleet, with level drift, and fierce as- . sanits or bail ! What darksome caverns yawn'd before ; what jagged steeps behind! Like battle-steeds, with foamy manes, wild tossing in . the wind. :: . Saeh after each sank down astern, exhausted in the ; chase, Sat where it sank another rose and gallop'd in its ' place: . .

The fatal billow rises ten billows heaped in one ' and rushes down an avalanche of brine. The waters close over the .victim, who shrieks below the jv- Joan, and tosses on the waste, as senseless as a weed. He awakes, . bat in a situation so strange that he doubts whether ha lives or dreams. He is on shipboard, and overdowered by the sight of a "Grimly one who stood beside (he mast." What followed, let . Hood Jell in his own words : His cheek was black his brow was blaek his eyes and hair as dark ; ' His hand was black, and where it touch'd it left a ! . sable mark ; His throat was black, his vest the same, and when I looked beneath-His breast was black all, all was black, except his grinning teeth. ; . His sooty crew were like in hne, as black as Afric - slaves ! Oh, horror ! e'en the ship was black that plough 'd the . -inky waves! "Alas!"

The Hinister and the Bumble-Bees. - Mississippi rejoices in the procession of the rude talents that distinguish a backwoods preacher known as " Uncle Bob." On one occasion Uncle Bob went to minis ter to the spiritual wants of some 'brethren' who convened eimWoccasionally at a littleout-of-the-way church known by the very classic name of Coon Tail'. Inspirited by a crowded house, Uncle Bob turned himself loose in bis tragic style. He beat, and s tarn pet I vociferated terribly. For some time previous, the . rude , pulpit had been unoccupied. Invited by : the apparent security and quiet of the place a . community of humble bees had built a nest beneath. Uncle Bob's peculiar mode of conducting the services had disturbed the insects: and just as he was executing one of his most tremenduous gestures, an enraged bee met him half-way, and popped his sting into the end . of Uncle Bob's huge nose. He stopped short, gave sundry vigorous but ineffectual slaps. when he heard a half suppressed titter from some merry youths in a far corner of the house. Turning toward them with ill concealed rage. he exclaimed. "No laughing in the house of God ; I allow no laughing in my meetings.- I'll thrash the first man that laughs, as sooft as service is over 1" This threat checked the incipient merriment. Uncle Bob regained his composure, forgot the bees, and soon warmed up at two fortv lick. But again in the midnt of the mest impasslvrate gesticulation, a bee .stung him full in the forehead: be bowed, - dodged and beat the air frantically, until a roar of laughter arose from the congregation. Uncle Boh looked at them a moment with mingled feelings of rcnge and" disgust, and - then shouted, "Meetin's dismissed! Go home! just go home, every one of you !

A Frenoh Story. In 1890 a gentlojnan was passing late at night over Point Neof (Paris) with a lantern. A man came up to him and said: 'Read this paper. ' He held up his lantern and read as follows : "Speak not a word when you've this paper read, ur in an instant you 11 be dead I Give us your money, watch and rings, With other valuable things Then quick, in silence, you depart, Or I, with knife, will cleave your heart !" Not being a man of pluck, the affrighted gentleman gave up his watch and money, and ran off. He soon gave the alarm, and the highwayman was arrested. 'What have you to say for yourself? inquired the magistrate before whom the robber was arraigned. "That I am not guilty of robbery, though I took the watch and money." "Why not guilty?" asked the magistrate. "Simply because I can neither read nor write. I picked up the note just at the moment I met this gentleman with a lantern. Thinking it might be something valuable. I politely asked him to read it for me. He complied with my request; and presently handed me his watch and purse, and ran off. I supposed the paper to be of great value to him. and that he thus liberally rewarded me for finding it. He gave me no time to return thanks, which act of kindness I was ready to' pertorm. The gentleman accepted the plea of the robber, and withdrew his complaint.. An Anecdote. Frederick of Prussia, had. a great mania for enlisting gigantic soldiers into the Royal Guards, and paid an enormous bounty to his recruiting officers for getting them. One day the recruiting sergeant chanced to espy a Hibernian who was at least seven feet nigh ; he accosted him in English, and proposed that he should enlist. Thejdea of a military life and a large bounty so delighted Patrick that he immediately consented. But," said the sergeant, unless you can speak German, the King will not give so much." "Oh. be jabers !" said the Ir-shman ; sure its I that don t know a word of German." "But," said the sergeant, "three words will be sufficient, and these you can learn in a short lime. The King knows every man in the Guards." As soon as he sees you, he will ride up and ask you how old you are; you will say. twenty seven ; next, how long you have been n the., service ywu t fin ? 5 1 yj f; j h r t - utuet reply,, three , weeks'.; answerliotfi,.'T S"SB""""WE5- Pat soon learned to prononnce his answers. but never dreamed of learning questions. In three weeks he appearetl before the King in review. His Majesty rode up to him. Paddy stepped forward with "present arms." "How old are you ?" said the King. . "Three weeks," said the Irishman. : "How long have you been in the service?" asked his Majesty. "Twenty-seven years." "Am I or you a" fool?" roared the King. "Both," replied Patrick, who was instantly taken to the guard room. . The Bebel General Letter writers in Washington and elsewhere makes Gen. Jackson, who recently .fired on the federal forces a t Hancock, quite a poet and hero? A correspondent of the Boston Journal Two correspondents of the Journal have al- IvMled to the rebel General Henry R. Jackson one of them having, been his classmates at Yale. After graduating there in 1839, he re turned to Athens, Georgia, where his father resided, and entered the law school which Judge Harden had just established, in connection with Franklin College, hiving among his fellow pupils Howell Cobb, and the writer of this paragraph. He was a poet of no ordina ry ability, and a few years afterward he remo ved to his native city of Savannah, as editor of The Georgian. When the Mexican war broke oat, he took the field as Colonel of the 1st Georgia Volunteers, and it was while stationed at Camargo, in 184A, that he wrote a beautiful poem addressed "To my Wife and Child," of which I cannot refrain from quoting the first two stanzas, as a specimen of his household style: - "The tattao beats the lights are gooe The camp aronnd in slumber lies ; The night with solemn pace moves on, , The shadows thicken o'e the akies, But sleep my weary eyes hath flown. And sad, uneasy thoughts arise. "I think of thee oh ! dearest one ! Whose love of mine early life hath blest; Of thee and him oar baby son . Who slumbers on thy geatl breast God of the tender, fraU and lone, Oh ! guard that little sleeper's rent." In 1849. Jackson was elected by the Legis-ture of Georgia Judge of the Eastern Circnit for tour years, hoou after: the expiration of his term of office he was sent to Austria as Charge by President Pierce, and in 1854 was made Minister Kesident. After his return during Buchanan's administration, he was prosecuting attorney in the attempts to bring slave-traders to justice at Savannah, and boldly resisted popular sentiment in endeavoring to dis- cuarge nis amy. - ; CompaxatiTe Size, of tne Planets. : Sonie notion may be oUalneii of the 4om- Krative size of the principal objects ia theoo-r system by. supposing a gmhe of two feet ia diameter placed in the centre of a plain, to represent thesun ; a grain of aaosUrd aeod, placed at t v distant of ghty-rwo feet, represents Mercary ; apea at- the distance of 142 feet would give, a repreaenution of Ventu ; less dignified stnVfor a pia'a head placed at a-dia-taaceof C2T feet would mfford trua repreaen-taUon Of tU coniparauve aizat aad four min-ute grains of sand at a dktaace of 500 feet, would convey some perception of the -positioa and me of Jfeata, PaWmad Juolal erate sized orange at a quarter of a mile would represent J u pi tar & a smallerora. al nw :s:vHi:-ii far-off planet, HerscheL dwindles into a cher. ry moying at Ustaaee of threejaarters hf a4 mua Bon ua central rTepreaeatuithe - The Dahlgrea Oaa.:? ,1 "A Washington borresDondent of the Bald- more Sun writes aa follows : I J.

Lieut. -porter. In naval circles great things are expected of this expedition, it being said that but few fortifications can withstand its concentrated fire. ' The possession by the Confederates of a great number onrifled cannons is admitted among naval officers, but the superiority of the Dahleren gun and pro jectile for practical destructtveness grows -up on tnem constantly, ana wnat is more, uapt. Dahlgren himself abates not confidence in the usefulness of his invention, pot withstanding the flood of new ones that have been brought out by war. The projectile of the rifled gun being oblong, it cuts clean through objects without that crushing effect that is produced by the large shot and shell projected from smooth-bores of great calibre. In so far as breech-loading cannon are concerned, our ord nance oflicers regard them with disfavor and confidently predict that, notwithstanding the ability or Armstrong tne use 01 nis gun win finally be abandoned by the English. Female Purity. In the perfect virtue of womon there, is a defensive armor which is villain-proof. It is doubtless a harsh judgment to say that no woman is ever dishonorably approached who has not first signified her permission; that no man ever dares to invade her sanctuary unless he first finds the incloeures down and sees a beckoning hand across the line. Sometimes a heart that knows no evil is so far betrayed so as to be insulted ; but there is no plausibility and verisimilitude even in the former postulate. For there is always a battle of spirit fought in the air before a foot approaches or a hand is raised. It is in this preliminary battle of soul with soul, of eye with eye, of the celestial aura and effluvium, radiated by virtue against the Tartarian exhalations of vice it - is this preliminary battle that prophesies the fate on the other. Hence there is a female purity that no villainy can invade ; for though its weap ons are an ethereal essence, only, yet. they are swift as lightning and solid as porphyry; and whoever dares encounter them perishes like the Israelite who trod upon the foot of Sinai when Jehorah thundered on its summit. Horace Mann. Young Girls. To our thinking there is no more exquisite creature on earth than a girl from twelve to fifteen years of aze. There is a period in the summer's' morning, known to early risers, which combines all. the tenderness of the dawn with nearly all the splendor of the day. There is at least full promise of dazzling noon: but vet the dewdrop glistens on the half-opened flower, and yet the birds sing with rapture their awakening song. So, too, in the morning"-of a girl's life there is no time like this, when the rising glory of womanhood sparkles from the thoughts of an infant, -and the eleeance of a oneenlv Prareadorns the wnnbols oflwbvhoo.1. fT:-,-.T.i a i .... :.lt which she foolish fv asniree. si llide amohff 1igfrser tola vfeirowi :3ilrit;T3ftl'jachl among aUeel 6f ' coTrntJaTges: TjnoonscToTSS- - . . ... . v... - - - .i ness (alas, how soon to depart.!) has all the effect of the highest breeding; freedom gives her elegance,-and health adorns her with beauty. Indeed, it seems to he the peculiar prov-ence of her sex to redeem this part of life from opprobium . War vs. labor. It is really almost enough to make one despair of the progress of mankind to find that something like 4.700,000 of men at the very lowest computation are under arms in Europe and America, either for protection or the cutting of throats, as the case may be. Here is a list: Army of Austria, 728,344 ; Prussia, 729,000 ; Russia, 859,000 : France, 01:6,00a; Great Britain and India, 534,827 ; Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, 303,497 ; United States, 500,000 ; Confederate States, 350,000. Total, 4,620,768. The cost of maintaining, clothing and paying these men at the low average of $200 per head, is $924,133,600 per annum, - The labor of 4,620,668able-bodied men can not be calculated as producing less than $700,500,000 per annum, so that virtual ly between the cost of their maintenance and what they ouglt to produce, their labor utilized, the loss to the world is $1,624,633,600 per annum, to say nothing of the valuable lives lost in war. Pigs and Humans. .. . Mr. Rives, editor of the Washington Globe occasionally favors his friends with some sententious csiticisms on municipal affairs. Here is his last view: ... I don't believe in this feeding the ooor from the public crib. I always noticed when we used to feed the hogs from a crib down in Virginia, two or three lig hogs got all the corn and did well, and the rest got lean, but they all staid in the lane.where, the corn was thrown, and never put their nose to the ground to help themselves the whole winter. : But thoue that were turned out and not fed from the crib went off to the woods, and in the spring were all fat as butter, and their tails curled so tight that they could hardly get their hind legs on the ground. . It the same with men as with pigs; if you want their tails to curl, you must, make them root fcp themselves and not teach them to go to the .crib. ' A Prompt Beplyv The waggish correspondent of The Providence Post, writing from " Camp Brightwood," acrois the Potomac, tells the following story of one of the men of the Fifth Rhole Island Battery: Not long since on of the riders, a son of old Neptune, got unseated from his horse. The commanding officer came up to him and reprimanded him, and asked him sternly if he did not know bow to ride. He unhesitatingly said "No." "What did you then enlist for?" asked the captain. To which : the aailor promptly replied, " To shoot secessionists, not to break colts.". The reply aa amusea the: officer he rode off smiling. . ;r., .. i-rThe devil aonroaehed Martin Lather one day with the exhortation, .

This the Abolitionists have been -doing ever since the war troke out. " The Memphis Appeal, a strong disunion paper, tells wnat good service the Abolitionists are render ing the Southern Disunionists. In speaking ot the emancipation schemes of tevens, ping-ham and others, remarks : "Our people Ufa this svecHes of lea-slation. inasmuch as it win victories for us, which, with bayonets and bul lets, will be hard to achieve." Such legisla tion, and specheH of such men as Thaddeus 4 Stevens, Wade, Lovejov and others, and the sermons of such disunion infidels as Cheever, Bcecher, Conway, and the daily rantings of such pa per8 as the New York Tribune, Cinciri nati Gazette and others, have done the Union cause more real damage in the South than al the arguments and threats of all the; leading Southern Disunionists together.

Was not Mr. Lincoln nominated by treachery and fraud, and was he not elected by the Same?

Slavery has always existed", and there is reaaon to believe that it wiU continue to exist until every man becomes equal to every other man in intellect and physical develop ment. In one form or other it exists in every civilized community under some one name or another. The word slavery is usedss) desig nate the relation that exists between the mas ter and the servile classes, in certain parts of tne woria. oiavery, ao tar as tne principles upon which it exists are concerned, is as little .1 : 1 S - . , understood in the North as in the South. Slavery logically, if not legally existed before law. Inere is no law, nor has there ever been one enacted, declaring the negro to be the slave.of the white man. All laws upon this subject proceed - upon its actuality. In this respect, it is like the relation of husband and wife.- " ''.-:' The notion that the negro is the descendant of Canaan, the Son of Ham, and sentenced to perpetual slavery for his sin, is simply puerile. The question of the neutral inferiority of the negro race is one on which both parties are entitled to a hearing. Society is established upon the relative development of the individuals. Slavery exists in the Southern States, not because the negro race is inferior to the Anglo Saxon, .but because the individuals of the negro race are inferior to the individuals of the Anglo-Saxon. The normal condition of society is in. a unity of race, America stands in the anomalous condition of ha ving two races, widely differing from each other, living upon Its soil. 1 . . The object of society is to secure the best interests of its members by promoting the general peace. After the emancipation of slavery, m New England, most of the slaves retired to waste land and lived by cultivating small patches of corn and potatoes, and by petty pilfering, returning as near as possible to the habits of their African ancestor. The consequence was, that the race gradually went out. Slavery s said to be a condition of involun tary labor. But all labor is involuntary.: No man labors for the love of it. Irractically, nearly all laborers, free or slave, work all their lives for food, clothing and shelter. But sla very is said to be a great injustice. The fact of proprietorship, does not necessarily include injustice. It is customary- among persons whose sen sibilities are more' acute than their informa tion is correct, to represent the negro as pining out. his servitude. The negro flies not from slavery, but from the labor it imposes.- He sees no harm in slavery of itself, and if opportunity offers, he becomes the worst of masters. If the slave of the South, have-any fondness for the Abolitionists of the North, that feeling is of recent origin." There is reason to believe that fthe reports of the uneasiness of the slaves are greatly exaggerated. The negro seems fitted for a state of servitude from the fact that hia numbers increase more rapidly in a state of slavery than in a state of freedom. ' ' ' It seems to be the fate of our race to root out very other race of lesa-vitality, unless the bond of interest causes the stronger to throw its protection over the weaker. Emancipated, the slaves Of the booth would be in the way and this tact aione would be enough to sur round them with danger. The wrongs of slavery are wrongs of the individual, and are not a nart of the system. The probabilities are that there is as great a proportion of men in the North who abuse their families as in the South who abuse their slaves. With the average of the African race the fear of pain is the only stimulus sufficient to make them labor. The separation of. chil dren from their parents is one great cause of complaint, but there is great reason to believe that i t is of seldom occurrence. - Separation of families frequently occur in the North from circumstances aa imperative as any that attend upon slavery. ; The great evil which is charged upon slavery is the pos sibility of the deterioration of the white race from contract with the negro. Xhe danger whicn is to come from amalga mation does not belong to slavery alone, but to the presence of the negro race. The production of individuals of the mixed race goes on quite as rapidly in the North as in the South. . . v.--' -. . The North and the South nave not been ri- vals in any of the markets of the world. We of the North boast that with our wheat "and corn we can feed the world; they of the South boast that with their cotton plantations they can clothe the world. The South can do as well without Northern machinery and manu factures as the North can do without Southern cotton and groceries. In 1820 the cotton growing may be said to have been fairly inaug urated. At that time the boutn produced nearly all its own necessaries. Southern planters finding it more economical to produce cotton than to engage in domestic manufactures, chose to do so. - At the same time New Eng land turned its attention to the production of - , , : a y . , - - ! manuiactures, ana aepenaea ior its supply oi food on is ew York,.

The lecturer here quoted at great length a mass of statistics to prove the mutual depend ence of the sections each npont the other, and the calamities which would fall upon the world by the failure of the supply of Southern cotton, j lnere are those who, becoming possessed with the idea that slavery is the one great evil, can not see any other. Xnese men were, a few months ago the Disunionists of the North, and called the Constitution "a league with the devil I" Now they are loudest in . their eriee to upheld it.
