There is no more majesty about him in the forest than there is about that poodle. It is all. poetry Lions are arrant cowarda—cowardly, sneaking beasts. You can hardly tell a lion from a donkey when you coine upon hini in the forest; and if you come upon a lion suddenly, his first impulse is to tuck his tail between bis legs and bolt, lie will spring upon you if he comes upon you unawares and can have time to crouch, but if a man has the courage to look a li on in the face, you need not even cock your rifle."

CIi ARM or MANNER. —It is said that bees will not sliag a person whose skin is smeaicd in honey. Tho gracious manners of Charles James Fox preserved him from personal dislike oven when ha had gamb led away his last dollar, and, politically, was the most unpopular man in England. Ac hariniagmanner not only enhances 'per sonal beauty,;but hides ugliness and makes even plainness agreeable. There is hard ly any career in which an ill-favorad coun tenance is not a stumblingblock at the out set, that may nevar be surmounted. There are people called "unpresentable,"' who have giants to contend with at tjieir first start in life. Yet who does not know how much a happy manner often does to neutralize the ill effects ol forbidding looks ? The fascination of the dema gogue Wilke' manner triumphed over both physical and moral deformity, ren dering even ugliness agreeable ; and he boasted to Lord Townsend, the handsom est man in Great Britain, that, with half an hour's start, he would get ahead of his lordship in the affections of any wertian in the kingdom. The ugliest Frenchman perhaps that ever lived was Mirabeau ; yet such was the witchery ol his manner that the belt of no gay Lothario of his .day was hung with a greater number of bleed ing lemale hearts than that of this thun derer of the tribune who shook from his locks "pestilence and war," and whoso looks were sp hideous that he was com pared to "a tiger pitted by the small-pox." The success which Aaron Burr achieved, up to the hour when he betrayed his party in ISOI, arose not more from his political skill and knowlege than from his inimita ble address and his infinite tact in conver sation.—From Prof. Matthews' 'Getting on in the World.' A SIOO MISTAKE I( there be one man of this cantinent who appreciates the value of advertisiag, lis Orange Judd. A number of year* ago when he and bis wife spent their eveniugs in putting up packages of seeds, and a penny had its full value to them, he sent a boy with a check (or SIOO to the New Yerk Herald office, with instructions te psy what was due arid leave the rest for advertising. The boy being dull of com prehension did not understand him, and told the book-keeper to use SIOO for one day. The next morning what was Mr. Judd's horror to see on taking up tbe Her ald, "Read the American Agriculturist" repeated fer nearly a whole column. He rushed down to the office for an explana tion, and found that they had only follow ed instructions, and there was no help for it. "We are ruined," he said to his wife; "a whole year's advertisement gone in one day." But instead of being his ruin it was the beginning to his success. Imme diately subscriptions poured in from all parts of the country. The Agriculturist became an institution, and its proprietor is one of the wealthiest men in New York. Mr. Judd has continued from that day of the lucky mistake to be one of the most extensive advertisers in the country.

Poughkeepsie, June 5 —The Synod of the Reformed Church to-day discussed the report of committee appointed to revise the liturgy. The discussion wa* a very spirit ed one throughout The Rev. Ir. Ganz declared that the revised liturgy should be placed beforethe-cla'se* for deliberation, and charged that it w< leading to ritual ism. The Rev. A M MSAN opposed any tinkering with the liturgy whatever. Somo of the members favored the striking oat of the liturgy, which brought out the assertion from another member that he did not believe eight churches of the American Synod worshiped alike. Sev eral times there was much confusion in the discussion. The evening session was a liorray one. Finally the following resolution, offered by Elder Pruyn, was adopted : Rsiolmi, That the Synod approve of so i much of the liturgy reported by the com mittee a- is not inconsistent with or forbid en by tho constitution, and give permis sion to use the same, this resolution not sanctioning any change in the habtisnial form or the form of the administration of the Lord's supper. The revised liturgy thus adopted almost entirely revolutionizes the marriage ser vice, the burrial service, the service of the lay ing of the corner stone of a church or chapel, and the service of the dedication of a church or chapel. The churches in the various classis, however, have permis sion to use it or not as they deem proper. ♦ —• THE RESCUED BURGLAR His Body Found Buried near the Scene of his Attempted Robberv nnd Murder. Milton, Pa., Juno b.—On Wednesday afternoon last two boy* were gathering (lowers in the wood* about three miles from Samuel Bond's house, in which the light with the burglar occurred on Satur day night last. About a hundred yard* from the read they came upon a fresh mound of earth. They commenced dig ging, and after uncovering about two feel of earth came to the body of a man. They ran frightened away, and told Wm. Coles, who was coming up the road with n team. He exhumed the body. It had nothing on but a shirt. Tbo face wa* dis colored, but as the corpse was not decom posed it could not have been buried long. Coles concluded at once that tbe body was that of the burglar who had been so badly wounded by the Bonds, and rescued by his companions. He put the body on i his wagon! mid took it to Bond's house. | They identified the remains as those of the burglar Meyer. There is no doubt that the conditioner tbe burglar was so critical at the time he was rescued by his companions that he was not able to stand the ride, and ho died in a short time after being taken (rom the house.

About threa hundred ai d forty colored men, most of them from Virginia, Ken tucky and Tennessee, arrived hero about 4 o'clock tbi* |m< rning, having collec ted in Columbus by different route* last night. They were accompanied by twenty-one special policemen from Columbus. They passed the Neltonville depot and proceed ed directly la I.* ngslreth's mines, half a rail* below, but still within the village corporation, where they faund everything quiet. They ware immediately placed on military duty.

Ihe camp line* have been marked down, and the colored men hare been petroling the outskirts all day with musket* and fixed bayonets, re fusing admittance within the lines to all not endorsed by the operator* or police.

An old resident of South Carolina, who came East on business, wu- recently met by the editor ef the Newark Journal, and, in the conversation thnt ensued, told a sto ry af tho social and political condition of! that State, ef n nature so disgraceful that every honest man in the country would at i once indignantly deny iu truth were it possible to do so in the face of the floods of similar testimony from other quarters The story i* in substance as follows: Its Charleston County alone there have been •2/Jt) parcel, ol property lately .old for taxes, and forfeited to the State for want of bidders. Between the imported thieves and the native thieves there i hardly any thing of value left. Governor Moe* and his friends have demoralized tho negroes and got control of the State, and now hold what there i* left of it. The negroes hnv. great confidence in all Northern men, and that is at the foundation of much of tin ; evil. For instance, there came a man through n certain section of the State rep resenting himself a a son ol General Sher man, telling the negroes to select their forty acres of land secretly, and in consid eration of so much money they should soon have the deeds. Tho swindler, of course, realised largely. Again, many | "missionaries" sent troni the North cheat and delude the poor black men by making them pay roundly for bibles, school-hooks, Ac., sent by charitable associations, and when any Southern mnn attempts to ex pose the game tho blacks call him a "Detuacrack liar." The whites complain more ol high assessment. than high taxa tion. An illustration of this is furnished by tho case of a gentleman in Orangeburg County, who was assessed $27,0n pro perty that would not bring $10,(1X1 in cash under the hammer. Tha same party had State and county claims, but could not pay his tax with them or get them paid with out submitting to a heavy shave by some of the ring agents with State funds. Pro perty sold for taxes when purchasers can be found scarcely brings more than the amount ol tuxes and costs, as there is no "lie but those in tho ring uhlo to buy. About tt.UOO ad e* of piua tiuibci laud wa* -old far tines oil the lirst Manday in last I btober at til n Court-hou-is of ('h ester field County at Scents per acre, and at privut<- ■a!o propnrty will not realize nnything.

Ki guiding the crops, tho close of the wm* found the planter* all poor, and they were compelled to uiortgugtv their growing crept to their factors at a rule ol uhoul 2ft per • out. profit and 2d per cent, interest. This, <>l course, with all the •.her plagues, swept them lear every year, and in many case* even their si si, and litis year starvation will stare some of them in tho lace A* to the court* of the "•late lltey ale a !ui> fi in the l.< jrlsla tuic don It to magistrate* I luting the ses sion of the last Legislature, noluded in an omnibus lull was a claim of n bar-leader in (' lunibin On coming to hit kriowl- edg. be sent in u < miuuiii. ulton that was read to the House, that the claim with his name attached w us a forgery, and lit-should insist thut it might bo destroyed in Ins presence This was paved off as a g.od j.ikeoii the party that forged tl.s claim In Darlington County Court a negro wa* tried by iv negro jury for soiuc offen* < ugainsl the State.

Although there was positive proof they Were set at libeily The conviction of any crime by one of M< ti s follower- u folb.we l by a pardon. The only thing that can save tlie .""-tale now is the interference of the national cpurts, -o that the thieves ana robbers may be dislodged ami the high places fumigated. The National Administration refuse* to hear the appeals of the suffering people,' because some hot-headed, impudent per son down there, goaded to it by the terri-: tie situation of affair*, ha* abu*ed theq {'resident, and the Northern people can not see anything but the Ktt-Klux, skull, j' utid cross-bone* to sympathize with.
