A Democratic exchange labors to
make out a case ot sectionalism
against the Republican party, be
cause supremacy is confined mainly to
the Kertheru y.ate.-: Matters are changing, however. The progress of
the Republican ideas' in the boutk
has been notable of late. There are
no less than half a dozen Southern
States where u the democray are in
:a:Ati"f tolnd as to the future of
theff party? Besides, the .National party is the party of National idea. ;
Such ideas may be hampered and
conliued for a time by provincialism
a- d sectionalism, but they are Nat
ional none the less. Such has been
the case with the principles of the
Republican party. , They are broad:
an :l liberal enough for all sections.
aud the fa; is beginning to be ap
preciated even in the South, where
also the sectionalism of the Democrat
ic party is beginning to be repudiat
ed.

Here ia a droil etory told by the late Lord Mayor. Ilis Lordship, then Lord tfa&s, was foBdef acclimatiiing ani mals, and among other creatures which be had imported was a female emu. While His Lordship was away from home, the emu laid an egg, and his perplexed bailiff, writing to inform him of the occurrence, began his letter at follows: "In the absence ot your Lordship, I put the egg uailier the greatest goosft I eouM mid." In ur enjoyments we a .-ed to live from day by day. The cloudsof bygone inys need not obscure the perfect sunshine of the present. Because it may storm to-morrow, we need not shut our-, selves away from the brightness and the glory of to-day. We may. and we should, watch the barometer, and be radv for the coming storm, while we.
open all our senses to take ha to the full, the delight of the calm and beauty that often precedes it. There k no truth In the canting whine some wellmeaning persons Indulge in, that fof every smile we must pay with a groan, that for every prosperous breeze K we must atone with a head-wind; that against every da? of Jcv is set a day of tears. .
