A Fair Hit. The reader will remember the following fragment in the blue-and-gold edition of Tennyson's poems: THE EAGLE. He clasps the crags with crooked hand Close to the snn In lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world he stands. The wrinkled sea before him crawls: He watches from his. mountain walls, And like a thundctbolt he falls. G. WHiLLiKws.of the Chicago Timet takes a more common place tuw ol th subject in describing eagle No 2. With hooked claws he clasps ye fence, Close by ye hen roost; gazing thence, He spies a mouse what's got no sense. Ye mice beneath can't well see him; He watcheth from his lofty limb, Then jumpeth doTn and grabbeth him. The poet adds by wr.y of postscript: The difference, though only faint, Twixt this and that 1 now will painti flis eagle's wild, my eagle ain't J

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The History of the Democratic Party. Those who are attached to the Democratic party may well feel a warm glow of pride and satisfaction when they look back to the glorious history of that organization, wLich, commencing its careering with the existence of out Government, has admintered it so triumphantly and brilliantly, with but brief intervals, ever since. There ar but few things which inspire more pleasurable emotions than happy memories of the past; and that organization of association which has an honorable history appeals most strongly to the conödence of men. The annals of our country, for the last sixty or seventy years, are thickly strewed of the continued tnd repeated triumphs of the Demoratio party and of ita illustrious representative men, over the opposition, which has been arrayed against it in so many forms and phases. The sympathies of youth, and all who nd mire greatness and glory, cannot but beenlis ed in favor of that party which haa given to the nation ten or eleven of its fifteen Presidents; which has persistently shaped its national policy; which has originated and carried every measure that has tended aggrandizraents and honor of the country; which has always been intensely patriotic and national in its feelings, which has struck the flag of its orgaization, but which has successively beaten nnd overwhelmed half a dozen different parties and combinations that have been arrayed against it, and which has over and over again been endorsed as the only party that was fit to rule and shapo the destinies of America. When it commenced its remarkab'e ca reer of triumph, the Union consisted of but thirteen Suites, and under its auspecies, against a tremendous opposition, nineteen new States have been added to tho national constellation. It acquired an empire from France, and another from Mexico; it bro a separate republic (Texas) into tho Union; won the golden soil of California; and by immense acquisitions, it made our bound ary extend from one great ocean of the world to the other for the Atlantic wash es its eastern and the Pacific its western shore. It looks forward to the time when Cuba the Queen cf Antilles and the gem of the Gulf of Mexico, shall be added to our biilliant coronet, and wh?n 'manifest des tiny' shall cary American institutions and the American flag into realms that at pres ent lie far beyond our political vision. No other political organization that has ever been lormed in the Union is calcula.ed to inspire these feelings but on the contrary they call up the reminiscences thu we would fain banish forever from our recol lection. In the commencement of our his tory, the Federal party was the great op ponent .oftho Democracy. At its head were many of the illustrious patriots of tho Revolution. It contained a large amount of private respectability and publio virtue and at first it bore off the lur la of success from its great antagonist. But, alap, lol lies and treason soon darkened its esoutch eon; its high-handed proceedings under the Administration of John Adams, in 1798 and its want of patriotism and British pro cliveties darin; the war of 1812, its ma!::' nant violence against its country in that struggle, finished its career, and ever sines the name of Federalist in a political sense, has been considered to be opprobions. Next came the 'National Republicans,' a high sounding designation, but its career was ephemeral and brief, and is associated in our mind with exploded and erroneous ideas of government, whose history it is unpleasant to recall, since they are only radoleut to defeat. Thon came the Anti-Masu crusade which for a while, iii some eectionsof the country, was very popular, sweeping everj thing before it, and threatening that venerable secret society with ruh , as well as the time honored Democratic party, against whon. it is politically arrayed. But the tornado soon epent its force; those ' who had been largely governed by impulse anc feeling in their support of it, fccisis secsibb tint

their fears of Masonry was bat a phantom, conjured tip by political demagogues and ! knaves for their own benefit, and in a few years the crusade was dismissed na most rediculous ill-advised movement. lis successor in the political field wa the V"ii party, that name "having been chosen because it was identified. with i.lastri ns Revolutionary memories, and therefore lik-ly to be popular. For twenty yara it struggled hard against Democracy. It was led by men of genius and talent it waa powerful in numbers but it accomplished nothing. As its measures were behind the progressive spirit of the age and were licking in genuine American feeling, the masses fell that it never could be intrusted with the direction of the Government. When its great leaders were laid in their graves, it was disbanded by its adherents, as a failure, and they hsstered to connect themselves with other cr 'anizationa. Willi the career of the two parties which rose Upon its ruin, the so-called 'American and Republican,' our readers are familiar, and we think all will aree that the-y have conferred no glory upon the country and reflected no luster upon their organization. Defeat and disaster havo thus fir attended them, although in their infancy, characterized by the dotage of age, and it requires no Beer to predict that in a short tima they will follow their predecessors to the tomb of an unregretted past, and

that a new organizition will take r.laee, to confront and to be subdued in turu by the Democracy. Amid all these imitations and chang93 the latter lrve pieserved, unbroken, their organization ani principles. They have 6een, successively, tho fall of the 'Federal,' National' Republican, -Anti-Masonic, ani they are about to witness tho complete collapse of their Republican-American opponents. Their flag, which waa first given to the breeze by Jefferson, and whioh was carried on through his administration and hat of Madison and Mjnroe a long pe riod of twenty-four years and which was temporarily lowered by tha yomgsr Ad ams, was again taken up to win fresh vicories, by the hero and patriot. Jackson, which has acquired new an I recent glories by Van Buren. Polk., Piirca an i B 'ch tnan, our later Chief M igisirate, still waves l triumph ovar the national hills at Washington. With the exception ot the brief and inglorious adminis:ration of John Quincy Adams, the ephemeral reign of Harrison and the weak Taylor-Filmoie dynasty, the Democracy have been in power, un'n'errupted, since 1801. So long a tenure of popular favor, in a republican country, extended to one organization, i most remarkable, and conclusively proves that its administration must hnve been signally successful ani sitUfietoiy in eve ry respect, and reflects the highest honor upor it. By the past we julge of the future, and its adherents l ave the right to expert the confidence of the men of the present time, by pointing to what it has already done for te glory and prosperity of the country. Lika a glorious old tree. which has withstood the storms of centuries, and which continues to plant its' roots deeper and deeper in the earth, and become more firmly fixed by the lipse ot time, so the Democracy, by its long an d prosperous reign, has gained in tha pub lic confidence, an J is now more impreg nable to assault than ever in its pas; history. "Put Her Through' A gentleman had occasion to send his little daughter up to the garret for some article which he wanted. The child soon returned, crying; and upon being ssked what troubled her, replied, 'that the snow had drifted in upon the garret stairs, and that she had slipped down and hurt herself Well, did you get what I told you, inquired her father. She replied that she had not. .Well, then, he exclaimed, s arting up, "Til go. I guess I ain't afraid of a littla snow.' After he had gone, the child observed that '6he hoped papa would fall, just a little, to pay him for laughing at her.' Soon afterward a distant rolling and bumpinir was heard, accompanied with the sound of suppressed wraih. The family listened with awakened interest, but the obiect of their noiicitude wa3 heard above, whistling quite eoüeriy, as inougn noiru.ng had happened. He crossed two room3 above, and as he approached the head of the stairs, thun dered out: 'Open mat cnamoer door: Next you know youll have nie tumble down here and break my neck. It's so dark now ' but the sentence was l.ot finished. Trip went his hels, and rolling, thumping, rattling and swearing, he sprawled his six feet f length upon the floor, when he was greeted wiih bursts of merriment from the collected family. He lay quite siill for a moment. At last he shouted: Open that cellar-door, Ann, I might as yrtMput her throvgh, clear to the bottem.' ZSTlf we scrutinize tho lives of genius, we -hall find that activity and persistence are their leading peculiarities. Obstacles cannot intimidate, Ubor weary, cudg-

A Kcw Way or Courting. About three mouths since, a young Pa rasian traveling in Germany, took the road from Augsburg to Berlin. In the car which he selected were four other pereoue, two mamas and two daughters. The two mothers were face to face in one corner, the young man took the opposite, and found liiinself face to face wit i the young ladies. Tiie young man put on an absent, distraught air. The conductor came to demand the tickets. The young man paid "no attention at all, and the request was many tirae3 repeated. Roused . from his reverie in presence of ladiss, the young man had reioiirss to a ruEe. to avoid exciting ridicule. What are you saying, said he, 'why do you not speak French?' The conductor then explained by signs, the ticket was changed, and the Young man returned to his reverie; but not to enjoy it long, for this time the young ladies aroused him. They began it full voice: This young man is very handsome,' said one. Hist, Berth., said the other, with a sort of affright. 'Why he doesn't know a word of German. We can talk freely. How do you find him?' Only ordinarv.' :You arc diiacult to plr.ue. He has a charming figure and distingue air. He is too ple, and besides, you know, that I never love dark.'

And you know that I prefer dark blonde. We hate nothini but dark bl Hides in Germany. It is monotonous and common place.' 'You forgot that you are a blonde.' 'Oil, for women it is different. Ha has pretty moustaches.' Bertha, if your mother should hear you.' She is busy with her talk; besides, it is no hurt to talk of moustaches.' I prefer the blonde moustaches of Frederick.' 'I understand that; Frederick i' espous ed to you, but I am without a lover, a;id fret tocxeicise my opinions, and am five to say that this youug man has beautiful eye 3.' Thev have no expression.' You do not know; I am sure he has much spirit, and it is a pity that he does uot talk derrasn; he would chat with us. Would yo'ä marry a Frenchman?' 'Why not, if he looks like tins one, and was t-piiited, well born and amiable? But I can hardly keep from laughing, be. he does'nt mistrust what wo nre Raying. The young traveler wa? endowed with a great power of self-control, and he had preserved his absent and attentive air all the time, and while the dialogue continued. he thought how curiously his attempts to avert laughing by pretending not to know German, had resulted. At a new station, th conductor came again for tho tickets. Our young man, with extra elaboration, and in excellent German, 6aid: 'Ah, you want my ticket. Very well le'. me see; I believe it is in my port monnie. Oh, yes, here it is.' Th affair of the coup de theatre was startling. B-.Mtba neatly fainted away, hut soon recovered under the polite apologiis of the young Frenci man. They werf pleased with each other, and in a few weeks B'Uiha ratified her g ol opinion of the young man, and her willingness to marry a French man They reside at Hamburg. Workhisand Tliiülains. It is a no less fatal error to despise la bor when regulaied by iutellec', than to value it for ksown sake. We are always in these day3 trying to separate the two. We want one man to be always thinking, and another to he always working, and we call one a gentleman and the other an operative; whereas the operator ought often be thinking, and both of them ehould bo gentlemen tn the best s&nse. As it is we make both ungentle, tho one envying, the other despising his brother: and the mass of society is made up of morbid thinkers and miserable workers. Now it is only by labor that thought can be made healthy, and only by thought that labor can be made happy, and the two cannot be sep rated wuh impunity. All professions should be liberal, and there should be less pride felt in the peculiarity of employment, and more in the excellence achievement.

A missionary said to an Indian, how da you know there is a God?' The savage answered, pointing to footsteps in the sand: 'how do you know that men have been hers?. If men could hara half their wuhei, they would double their troublti. No man knows what torpid serpen's may be coiled in some sscret corner of his heart,waiting for the cummer of favorable circumstances. The smallest children are nearest God, as the smallest plants an nearest the earth. No man can leave a bstter lejaoy to the world than a well educated family. Someone has truthfully said: The prettiest hand is the hand that is the most benevolent. To honor g-enteel idleness, is like cherishing ths weeds that grow amjug your corn.

A man is responsible for what he be lieves, but oftaer for what he disbelieves. None ars so fond of seorets as those who do not mean to keep them; such persons covert secrets as the spendthrift ooverts money, for the purpose of circulation.

An infidel, who had been attempting to prove that men had no sowls, asked a lady, with an air of triumph, what she thought of his philosophy?
