They say the dark-eyed maids of Spain Are passionate and fond: But eyes of blue are tender and true ; Give me my Saxon blonde ! An arch coquette is the bright brunette ; Blithe and merry and gay. Her love may last till the summer is past. But my blonde's forever and aye ! If bards of old the truth have told. The Sirens have raven hair ; But o'er the earth, since art hath birth, They paint the Angel 3 fair. Ah ! well —maybe, the truth to see. A lover is over fond : And 1 can't deny—nor will I try— My love is a goldeu blonde ! LOVE CAPRICIOUS. Love he comes, and Love he tarries, Just as fate or fancy carries : Longest stays when so-est chidden, Laughs and flies when press'd or bidden. Bind the sea to slumber stilly, Bind the odor to the liily, Bind the aspen near to quiver, Then bind love lo la-t forever. PistcUunmis, N ASIIV. ; The llndical Change—A Slight Alter nation in the Name and l'olitics of Wr. Nasbv's "lnstitoot. POST OFF IS CONFEDRIT X ROADS, | (Witch is in the State of Kentucky,) AfitiL 22, 18l>7. ) Times change, and men change ji-t ez fast ez times. 1 sbood like to see the times wieh kin change faster than I kin; but this last shift I hev bin forced to make, rutker took my bretb. It wuz sudden. The Con necticut elecksbun didn't do us much good after all. We felt well over it perhaps a day, but as we begun to get other indiea shen from the North, we didn'tjist see how that little spirit wuz going to help us. Cin cinnati went Ablishen stronger thau ever — Chicago ditto, and most everywhere the old Dimocratic rooster wuz gleoriously flat tened. The Cabinet, when they heard of Dekiu Pogram's assault uppon the nigger, on the receet uv the intelligence uy the elecksbun news, notitied me otiishelly that a repetishen uv sich ioonacy wood be equiva lent to a receet uv my resignation, even tho the post-oflisc shood be discontinyood. ' 'The nigger vote must be capcherd. It's cssen ' shd. Wade Hampton sez so,'" wrote Ran dall to me, and 1 reprimanded the Deekin fur his recklessniss and borrowed four dol lars uv i3ascom, who is the only man in the vicinity who has any ready money, to make it all right with him. We held a uieetin uv the Drecktors and Faculty uv the Southern Military and Clas sicle lnstitoot, last eveuin, to decide wat course that instooshn wuz to take in the grate work uv surroundin the Kthiopian and attachin uv him to us. lu sieh a time ez this, ez I monshond to Captain. McPel tcr, it won't do for our instooshns uv learn ing to stand back. These great levers, the molders uv public opinion, must bo ez pro gressive ez the progressiveist, and must change like other tilings to meet the re quirements uv the times. We hev coui menst our march into Afrika, and thus far hev we gone into the bowels uv the land without impediment, to speak uv—let us persevere. Let us capcher the Kthiopian, stiuk and all. The mcetin wuz held in the back room uv iJa.-com's, owing to the fact that it wuz rainiu and the roof ot the Post Offis leaks. 1 bed an appropriashin some time since from the .Department, fur repairs; but, bein in doubt whether it wuz intended for re pairs of the Post Oftis or the Postmaster, 1 gave the prisner the benefit uv the doubt and got a new peir uv boots. I cood better endoor the slight inconvenience uv occasion al raiu thau to go barefoot. 1 made a statement uv the case, and se ! jested a radicle change in the lnstitoot. Captain McPelter agreed with me. lie felt that there hedu't tin that complete, hearty recognition uv our Afrikin brethren which they ought to he. He bed on sever al occasions allowed his natural vivacity to git the I tetter uv his proodcnce, and lied wa | ded into them alarm in. The old ijeo uv Ilam and Hager and (tnesimus bad been so j drilled into him in his youth that he bed to | wrassel with it to keep it in control, and in spite uv himself it frequently got the better uv him. lie scjestcd that the name uv the ; lnstitoot be changed from 1 "The Southern Military and Classicle ln stitoot," to I "The ilam aud Japheth Free Academy, A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS for the development of tho iatellek uv ail races, irrespective of color." That he thot wood anser the required end. The colored gentlemen who choose to avals therselves uv the priyiligis afforded by this institooshun, when it is finished, kin find in this no cause of complaint. They are recognized. They are given the prece dence. They stand fu st in the matter and forcino. t. Wat more kin they a.-!# Rat-corn lied a series uv roso'utions which he desired to "present. He said it mite be looked upon cz strange that he should favor the concentrashun uv frco niggers at the Corners, but he hed goot and sufficient rea sons. First he lied faith that constant con tact with the Board wood bring em to the pint of patronizin his bar, but if it didn't he knowed perfectly weli that the Board F.twißy wbK hed, for board and tooition, which he vyuz perfectly certin he'd git in the end. Wat he wanted wuz people here —to yoose a il lustration boirered from his bizuis —the of lishels uv tho lnstitoot was the l'unnel through which the wealth uv all uv em wood be conducted to his coffers. I fell on his neck in rapeber and then vowed that 1 wuz willin to die for his good—that 1 cared not how much of other people's money run through me to him, cf 'twus thus dilooted. The resoluahens presented read as follows: "litxofoed, That the name of the South ern Military and (Jlassikle lnstitoot be changed to 'The Hani and Japheth Free Academy, for the development uv the in tellek uv all races, irrespeetiv uv color.' "Resolved, That in making this change, we, the Board and Directors, do so, assCr tin "1. That in this emergency we are justi fied in doubtin whether Noer got lite at all, the statement in the Hkripters to that effect being ondoubtedly an error uv the transla tors. 3. That if he did git tite, he didn't cuss 11am at all. "3. That cf he did cuss Ham, the cuss wuzn't intended to extend beyond Canaan at the furthest, and hence his descendants go scot free. "4. That cf the cuss wuz really and trooly intended to attach to all uv Hani's descend ants, irrespective of color, to the end uv time, it haint uv no effoek in Kentucky, ez that State hez alluz run irrespeetiv uv any code "ccutin sicli ez iic-z bin adopted by her Legislaehcr. "5. That the theory that the nigger, ir respective uv color, is a beast, is a deloosion, a snare, wieh we buv alluz practically held, no matter what we may, fer effect, sed; ez the number of niulatoes. to say nothin uv them still farther bleached in Kentucky, abundantly proves. •'6. That the Ethiopian, irrespective uv color, is trooly a man and a brother, and the female Ethiopian, also irrespective uv color, trooly a woman and a sister. ''RESOLVED That this lnstitoot whose name is now so happily changed; shel be conducted ujon the principles uv strict ekality, irrespective uv color. "Resolved, That when we reflect that the bloated aristoeraoy uv England interdoost, and the early settlers uv Massachoosets sankshuncd slavery on this continent, for cin it, really, onto us, we bile with indigna sbuu towards cm and kin hardly rcstrann ourselves. "Resolved , That at the tables, in the choice uv room, and in ali matters where there is a choice, the African man and brother, irrespective uv color, shel liev the precedence. "Resolved , That Obcrliu College, by not giviu thesons uv Ilam, irrespective uv color, the precedence, shows clearly that it is ae tooated by narrer-minded pejudice wieh de serve the reprobashen uv every luver uv hi- kiud. "lits'Atcd, That the Ethiopian, irrespec tive uv color, kin change his skin, and that his oder, cf he hez any. is rather pleasant than otherwise. "Resolved, That we look with lo .thin upon the States north, wieh, alluz professin friendship for the noble black man uv the Cotton fields, refooze to take him to their buzzunis, irrespective uv color. "Resolved. That cf Massachusetts and Vermont, and Northern Illinois, and the Western Reserve, in Ohio, are honest in their profession uv love for the negro, they will come down with donashuns to assist in the completion uv this Academy.'" Deekin Pograui didn't know about all this. He lied bin cdikated in Ham and Ilager and wuz a blecver in Onesimus. Tie doubted. Sposen after all this concession the nigger shood play off onto us? Sposcn lie shoodent vote with us after all, but cling to his Northern friends? Or spose ho sliood vote with us aud we shood thro his vote git control, what then? llow cood we redoose em to titer normal condition agin after all this palavrin. Bascotn replied that he wuz surprised at tho Deekin's obtoosnis. First, ef they did vote with the Ablishonist we wuz no worse off, ez that wuz what tliey proposed to do any how. Ef, on the~other hand, they didn't what then? The trouble with era now is, they know too much. "Let era," sed Bascom, warmin up, "let em associate wit us a year, let em vote with us, et eettry, and in twelve months they're prcsisely fitted agin to be scrvance unto ther bretneru. "Look,"' said he, "at the Northern Dirno erasy and see to what wc may hope to bring these men in time.'' But little more bizness wuz transacted. Beverly Nash, of South Carolina, was unanimously called to a Professorship, and a young gentleman uv color, who. from his strong re-eniblance to Elder Gavitt, ought to Lev bizuis capacity, wuz unaiuiii>ously elected a member of the Board. The yoonyuu is perfect. Ham aud Japheth hev shaken hands and are entbracin each other. May prosperity attend the nupchek, and may the issue be fortunate. I hev got over the disgust attendant upon the fust chill, and am eomekently feel in well. PETROLEUM V. NASBY, P. M.

MAY 94. 1867 THE PACIFIC RAILROAD—ITS SEV ERAL GRAND DIVISIONS. The Central Pacific Railroad of California. —The Pacific Railroadistoowe its anticipa ted early completion (187") to three causes: the unequalled material intensity of' Califo rnia life and enterprise; the opportune inter position of the cheap Chinese labor; and the judicious subsidy of the national government which allows each company—that, building from the west and that building from tho east—all the road it can l-|nld, with the loan of national bonds to the .mount of #50,000 a mile for the same. The- ulifornians (Con tral Pacific Railroad Company of California) have shown their mettle ir this competition, and have driven their en 1 of the road for ward with au energy tWr ''"fo accomplished ■HffiMMMHflHMMflmHiimiuL in twee 1 and descent is now nearly graded, and most of the heaviest portion completed and running. The chief difficulties of tho undertaking had to be encountered on that part of the line. The- dreaded barrier of the Sierras, pf iui •pas.-ible altitude and obstructed with impas sable snows in their season, was met in the first one hundred miles. Before bold deter mination aud able cngineeiiog these difficul ties have dwindled so that, considering rela tive prices of all things, the road lias not proved after all so much "steeper" in cost or grade than some others built long before, and the expected impassable snows have proved sufficient to make only three days inturruption of train- iu a whole winter as severe as the last. The estimated cost of the ninety-four miles in operation since last fall, with the remaining eleven miles to the summit, was above that of any road hereto fore built, having been fixed at #SB,4l>o per mile, against about SSI),000 for the Hudson River and New York and Erie, and $81,273 for the Boston and Providence. Nearly $15,000,000 have' been expended on the above 04 miles with about one third of the work on the next 25 miles and a liberal equipment of rolling stock. When 150 miles are completed, which is expected in July next, the costly work will be done, and the total construction cost will be, it is now sup posed, about $15,000,000, or $103,000 per mile. There will then remain 575 miles to Salt Lake City, which it is supposed will be built for #60,000 per mile, and in one fourth the proportional time of building the mountain section. One hundred miles of this are promised us by the end of 1867, making 250 in all. The average ascent on the California side is 75 feet to the mile: the heaviest grades completed being 105 feet. Of the grades of the 11 miles remaining wc have no particu lars. The time now occupied by trains is six hours: thus running nearly sixteen miles an hour. Fourteen tunnels have been made or are making, to secure the easiest possi ble grades, the longest of which, piercing the crest of the summit, is 1,658 feet in length, and lacks 500 feet of being comple ted. but is going forward with a large force of hands working night and day. Protec tion from snow slides has to be provided in some places by sheds adapted to shoot the aoof slides acrose r>T ct-ar of the track. Two miles of these sheds will be required. The highest elevation is 7,042 feet above the sea level, or three times as high as rail roads have ever before been constructed on this continent. Large working parties have been employed at the summit all winter: which, reads singularly when we think of the exploring party under Fremont, that perished almost entirely in the attempt to pass the snow- of the Sierras a few years ago. The earnings of the road are already nearly SIO,OOO a rui!e per annum, in its fragmentary condition; and even without natural growth and the addition of through traffic, would yield at the same rate a hand some profit for the whole capital to bo in vested. The I'nion Pacific Railroad Conipay is not disparaged by comparison with its wes tern rival. It agreed to finish 250 miles ; the current year. # lt lias already so far made good the promise that its fulfillment is morally certain, and we may look, there fore, by the end of 1;>67, for o'AI miles of railri ad in operation from St. Louis toward the Rocky Mountains. This will teach the border of Colorado, leaving but 750 miles between the two lines, which will be finish ed untler the spur of competition and ur gent demand, in less, if anythiug, than ■ the two years appropriated to the task. ' When this is done, the year will be one of the most memorable turning points in the material progress of mankind, and a more remarkable starting point than any before it in the advancement of the United States in : population and resources, which will then pour into our territory in redoubled ratio from all parts of the world, to be again re doubled every year by the development of the virgin treasures of the continent.

MATRIMONIAL INFELICITIES.—A letter front Chicago say- domestic unhaptiiness is very prevalent in that city, and applications for "divorce are of daily occurrence. The following are specimens : One of cur leading city clergymen, in his pulpit this morning, in commenting upon this alarming matrimonial demoralization, related a case that came under his own ob servation. During the pa-t week, a lady, hitherto regarded as highly respectable, came to hint, as her pa-tor, in relation to getting a divorce from her lm-band. The clergyman, greatij astonished, asked for what cause she sought a divorce. She re plied that her husband. when she married hiut, was quite wealthy, but had lately BE eonte so reduced in circumstances as to be unable to supply -her with the luxuries to which she had been accustomed, and this was the whole ground lot seeking a divorce. The clergyman dismissed her with a sharp admonition. Another lady, a few days since, weiit to a lawyer and sought his advice as to the quickest way oi getting a divorce from her husband. \V hen a.-ked for a cause, -he re plied that Iter husband was SO cross -he could not tolerate him.

VOLUME 40; XO. 21 BAMI EL TAYLOR COLERIDGE But keen as was Coleridge's interest iii political and moral subjects, and in whatever .affects the well-being of man, the full bent of his soul, and its deepest meditations, were given to the truths of the Christian revelation. From none of his works arc these thoughts absent; but the fullest expo sition of his religious views is to be found in the Aids of I'/flxction, his maturest work, and in tho third and fourth volumes of the Ltletury Rrmatnt. Before, however, ad verting to these opinions, it may be well to remember, that, much as C!cridge thought and reasoned on religion, it was his firm conviction, founded on experience, that the way to an assured faith that faith which gives life and peace, is not to be won by Umt of argument. "Evidences of Christi anity! lam weary of the word. Make a man feel the want of it; rouse him, if you can to the self-knowledge of the need of it, and you may safely trust it to its own evi dence, remembering always the express dec laration of Christ hini-elf; 'No man cometh to tne, unless the Father lcadcth htm.' " So it was with him elf. Much as he phil osophized, philosophy was not his soul's haven; not thence did his help come. It may have cleared away outlying hindrances, but it was not this that led him up to the strong hold of hope. Through the wounds made in his own spirit, through tbebroken ness of a heart humbled and made contrite by the experience of his own sin and utter helplessness, entered in the faith which gave rest, the peace which "settles where the intellect is meek." (.hice his soul had reached the citadel, his ever-busy eye and penetrating spirit surveyed the nature of the bul-wark.-.aud examined the founda tions, as few before had done. And the world has the benefit, whatever it may be, of these surveys. But though Coleridge was a religious philosopher, let it not be supposed that he put more store by the philosophy than the religion. He knew well, and often insisted, that religion is life rather than science, and that there is a danger, peculiar to_ the intellectual man, of turning into speculation what was given to live by. lie knew that the intellect, busy with ideas about God. may not only fail to bring a man nearer the divine fife, but may actually tend to withdraw him from it. For the intellect takes in but the phantom of the truth, and leaves the total impression, the full power of it, unappropriated. And hence it comes that those truths which, if felt by the un learned at all. go straight to the heart and are taken in by the whole man, are apt, in the ease of the philosopher and the theo logian, to stop at the outside region of the una landing, and never to get further. This is a danger peculiar to the learned, or to those who think themselves such. The trained intellect is apt to eat out the child's heart, and yet the "except ye become as lit tle children" stands unrepealed. Coleridge knew this well, fn his earliest interview with DcQuincuy, he said "that prayer with the whole soul was the highest energy of which the human heart was capable and that the great mass of worldlv men, and of learned men, were absolutely incapable of prayer." And only two years before his death, after a retrospect of his own life, to his nephew, who =at by his bedside one afternoon he said: I have no difficulty in forgiveness Neither do I find or reckon most the sol emn faith in God as a real obicet the most arduous act of reason and will. O no 1 it is to pray, to pray as God would have us; this is what at times makes me turn cold to my soul. Believe me. to pray with all your heart and strength, with the reason and the will, to believe vividly that God will listen to your voice through Christ and verily do the tiling He pleaseth thereupon —this is the last, the greatest achieve ment of a Christian's warfare on earth.' And then be bur.-t into tears, and begged me to pray for him. THE HOME PRESS. We clip the following from the Chicago Rqiubfican, and commend it to the considera tion of every person: AY hat tells u • so readily the standard Of a town or city as the appearance of its paper? And its youth and age can as well be defined by the observing, by a gluncn at its newspa per, as if a pcr.-onal observation had been made. The enterprise of its citizens are depicted by its advertisements, their liber ality by the looks of the paper. Some pa pers show a good, solid, healthy foundation, plethoric purses, anda well-to-do appearance generally; others show a striving to contend with tho grasping thousands around them, trying hard to wrench out an existence from the closefistcd community around them. An occasional mctoric display in its columns of telegraphic, or local, or of editorial, show what it can clo ifit had the means, but can not continue in the expensive work until support comes, which ought to be readily granted. A newspaper is like a Church; it wants fostering at the commencement, and for a few years, tuca as a general thing, it can walk a lone, and reflect credit upon its location. Take your Home paper; it gives you more news of immediate interest than the New York or other distant papers; it talks for you when nootlier will speak in your favor; when other localities belie you, it (lands up for your rights; you always have a champion in your home paper; and those who star, inn for you should certainly be well sustained, lour interests are kindred and equal, and you must rise or fall togeth er. Therefore, it. isyour interest to support your homo paper, not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit, as a pleasure, not as adisa grei able duty, but as an investment that will amply repay the expenditure. MASCULINE ETIQUETTE. An exchange contains the following from a forthcoming work on etiquette, soon to be published by the "Dobb's family."

Gentlemen walking should keep their hands in their pockets.

Then, upon ladies passing, set up au equine caehi nation (translated, horselaugh). This will give them an exalted opinion of your taste and refinement. Keep the center of the sidewalk. By ibis means, others in meeting you, willknow which side to pass; when they attempt it, step in the some direction with them. This afford.- an agreeable variety in a promenade. 4. If you sec a person on the opposite side of the street, you wish to interrupt, cry as loud as possible, 'Ho! Jones! Of course, Jones will "Ho!" and you will show pas angers that, you take a great interest in the state of Jones' health. .). When turning a corner walk rapidly, with your eyes in another direction.

In domestic happiness, the wife's influence is much greater than the husband*s: for tho one, the first cause—mutual love and confi dence—being granted, the whole comfort of the household depends upon trifles more immediately under her jurisdiction. By her management of small sums, her hus band's respectability and credit are created or destroyed. No fortune can stand the constant leakages of extravagance and mis management; and inore is spent in trifles than women would easily believe. The one great expense, whatever it may be, is turned over and carefully reflected on ere incurred; the income is prepared for it; but it is pen nies im perceptibly sliding away that do the mischief; ana this the wife alone can stop, for it does notcomc within a man's province. There is often an unsuspected trifle to be saved in 'every household. It Is not in econ omy alone that the wife's attention is so necessary, but in those little niceties which mark a well regulated household. An unfur nished fruit stand. a mi.-sing key, a button less shirt, a soiled table cloth, a mustard pot with its old-contents sticking hard and brown about it, and severally nothing; but each can raise an angry word and cause discomfort. Depend on it, there's a great deal of domes tic happiness in a well dressed mutton chop or a tidy breakfast tabic. Men grow sated of beauty, tired of music, are often too weari ed for conversation, (however intellectual I but they can always appreciate a well swept hearth and smiling comfort. A woman may love her husband devotedly—may sacrifice fortune, friends, family, country for him — she may have the genius of a Sappho, the enchanting beauties of an Armida; but melancholy fact—if with these she fail to make his home comfortable, his heart will inevitably escape her. And women live so entirely in their affections that without love their existence is a void. Better submit, then, to household tasks, however repugnant they may be to your tastes, than doom your self to a lovele-s home. Women of a higher order of mind will not run this risk: they know that their feminine, their domestic, are their first duties. A NEW BUILDING MATERIAL. There has been recently intioduced into this country, a new building material which closely resembles sandstone, but is simply a kind of concrete rock, which has been used in England for a number of years, and which by practical tests, has proved equal in durability to roek moulded in nature's cruci ble. TLe process of manufacture is exceed ingly simple, although based upon the most scientific principles. The sand, cbaik or other mineral substance is intimately mixed with proportion of a solution of silicate of soda. This is effected in an ordinary pug mill, and the mixture, which is thus ren dered of a plastic consistence, is either pressed into blocks or moulds, or can be rolled into slabs or forms as may be desired, and is afterwards either immersed in or saturated with a solution of chloride of calcium, when a double decomposition of the two solutions employed (via; of tho sili cate and soda and of the calcium) immedi ately takes plaoe. The silica combines with the calcium, and at once forms an insoluble Silicate of Lime, firmly enveloping and ce menting together all the particles of sand, chalk, or other minerals of which the stone is composed, whilst at the same time the chlorine combines with the soda and forms chloride of sodium or common salt, which is easily removed by subsequent washing. The rapidity with which the stone can be manufactured is astonishing. In five min utes sand can be taken from the heap and converted iDto a block of solid stone; and this, too, ornamented in any style that the mould designer may fancy—a statute or a block for paving, the most intricate tracery for ornamental building, or the bed stone for an engine, rustic work, cornices, or balus trades, in fact, anything that tasks the skill of the stone cutter may be moulded with facility; and with all this the portions of a building can be furnished to the builder at a price but little if any in excess of the cost of sandstone at the quarry.— Ex. CORRUPTING AMUSEMENTS IN THE CHtRPH. It cannot be denied that the social purity of the Evangelical Church in the United States is seriously menaced by the fashiona ble corruptions of the day, and yet thought ful people among us can see no more delicate or difficult problem than the right treatment of this danger. Absolute denunciation will not do; compromising, timid rebuke or en treaty will not do. The general moral im provement of religious society, and especial ly an increased spiritual earnestness iu the temper of tho Church, would be the most effective remedies; but unhappily those most needing to be recovered from fashiona ble perversions are the last to be reached by such influences. Often a few isolated, but influential iamilies in a church set the bad example; their position renders them diffi cult to manage, while the license, which may be evasively accorded them, draws in its baleful wake all less prominent persons predisposed to questionable fashionable hab its, but who otherwise might have resisted their temptations; aod thus some whole city or village religious circles have become infected with the evil. Indirect and purely moral, rather than disciplinary, eounterac Hon is, wo bolioTc. genorally considered the only desirable remedy. It may well be doubted, however, whether the opinion is correct. There can, at least, hardly be a doubt respecting its ineffectiveness against the overwhelming tide of perverse influence with which the American Evangelical Churches are now invaded, — Methxlist. A NOVEL PERFORMANCE. —Near the city of St. Joseph, Missouri, a few years since, the rite of baptism was performed on several women by immersion in the river. As it was winter, it was necessary to cut a hole in the ice; and the novelty of the scene attracted a large crowd, among whom were several Indians, who looked on in wonder ing sileuee. They retired without under standing the cufurc or object of the cere mony they bad seen; but observing that all the subjects of immersion were females and getting a vague idea that it was to make them good, the Indians came back a few days afterward, bringing their squaws with them. Cutting another hole in the ice, near the same place, they immersed each and all of tfcem. in spite of their remonstrances. As ENGLISH OPINION. —The last inaugu ral of President Liucoln made a strong im pression in England. The British Stand ard speaks of it as "the most remarkable thing of the sort ever pronounced by any President of the United States from the first day until now. Its Alpha and its Omega is Almighty Clod, the God of justice and the Father of Mercies, who is working out the purposes of his love. * * It is invested with a dignity and pathos which lift it high above everything of the kind, whether in the Old World or the New * * The whole thing puts us in in rniod of the best men of the English Com monwealth; there is in fact much of the old prophet about it."
