Concealed Rhymes. .10ifes EDITORS :—Were you aware that "Paradise Lost" rhymes,? Probably mot; bat near the close of Book NA where Raphael is describing the creation to Adam, • occurs the following passage : " Sneven and morn accomplished the sixth day; Yet.ntit till the Creator from his work - . boasting, though unwearied, up returned, tripto the heaven of Heavens, his high abode, Thenee to behold this,!new-created world. The addition of his empire, bow it skewed In prospect from his throne, tow 'good, how fair, Answering his great idea. Up be rode, Followed with acclamation, and the sound Symphonious of ten thousand harps, that tuned Angelic harmonies: the earth, tlie air Resounded (thou'remernber'st, for thou heardst,) - The heavens and all the constellations rung, Ve - planets in their station listening stood, Wtile the bright pomp ascended jubilant " 'Open, ye eocrlastinvgates V they Juno 4 Open, ye heavens your living doors; jet in 4 The great Creator from his work returned Magnificent, his six•dayse work, a world." There are many other- instances of con cealed rhymes in the same poem, which I do not remember ever to have seen noticed. I refer to the matter, not as anything of much - importance,- but as one of the " curiosities of literature." There is no doubt:,in my mind that these rhymes, though they may be unnoticed by the reader, add to the beauty of the passages ° in which they are found. -They are among the minor beauties with which the great poet (perhaps unconsdiousiy) adorned his sublime poem. • • For the independent RepuUicen. , ~ Letter !him Tennessee. MESSRS EDITORS : Dear Sill : The pie— tures I have you in my last two epistles set ting forth the general tone of Southern mo relit} hore,undoulitedly caused in the minds of your readers a depreciated opinion of the diameter, of the people of this country—a portion of which must be visited upon the writer hereof, for, as I . have already informed you, I have resided :here many years. But the effect on your minds of those descriptiohs ,of lewd and bloody practices, I , apprehend will boneutralized .when you read some amples of the sterlfng Nirtues which flourish in climes only that have been enriched with the sweat of negro slavery. After three t cases of the most aggravated murder, (in one, a brother killing a brother,) and two cases' of stabbing, all in the short assize of three weeks, and all either in this small village or within six Miles of it, neither of which was legally punished,—it got whis pered about that two men had been caught under suspicious circumstances in company with a nigger, and the latter having, given information ; that they had proffered him a stipulated's= to permit them to run him out of the country, and sell him, (of course, to a master of his!own choosing,) and that others in the neighborhood were engaged in the same plot, the whole community became suddenly agitated as brsome devastating earthquake. A• simultaneous Toice echoed from every hill-top,—" Cat* the nigger thieves !" Such a, poreupiaity of pi otrusion - as was taanifested ; in every nook and valley, and upon every summit, was truly frighten ing—at least tb the class of evil-doers re-' fiured to. The cry was uttered : by every ilakezisnlder; and ,•ei &fiby aWibe ragamuf fins, loafers, drunkards, blacklegs; and cut throats of the country, "The morals of our community are outraged ! Should this con duct go unpunished, the property of our vil tsgeand vicinity will_depreciate fifty per cent ! Our growing and- prosperous village will go down ! No christian moralist will condescend to live among us, or deal in such a town!" Such is a mere hint of the excitement oc ,Casioned by an etern r pt at stealing , a nigger! Having no proof but the nigger's'Aestimony that was positive, the dozen persons accused as thieves who were arraigned before our Justice's Court, came out unscathed, save that .they were blackened eternally in the opinion of the community as implicated negro thieies. Should you, gentle reader ; enquire why the mere suspicion of what would seem to you at lesser crime credited ands 4 frifer a reorder, the moat terrible oriel; CID be =remitted against the individual - and society, in many calms wac:iiiiiktit-Arfl#l responseis that the history of thafeedilitin-' stitution is kaolin, , even by the , :tinisnanwd, as not only extending luidt 114rholtive ,days 9f Christiauityiul , that, into the inlay days ADD* - paganism, to its logitimalavessaiii,:lie sow bertimus of the iltathei • #ll6lfr' told that its rightfulnassla anernorial custptn, and bi Lbe. iil • 4 ‘.

This and your picture of an attempted nigger stealing Seem to clash." . Be not too fast, i .friend reader. I admit that it may seem that you rather have me in a dilemina tier, but I think that a grain or two' of, the philosophy of human nature I 'will release us friiin such seeming faileinma. Waara:told by ilia poet Burns that in his boyhood days luilyas instructed in the full faith of all the hobgoblins, ghosts, fairies, and enchantments Which" were peculiar to the • .ttish people in his day, but as he grew to manhood, he became instructed in the phil osophy ,of those superstition•, and cast them off as the mere rubbish of a barbarous age, : which lingered upon the rear of his more en lightened time : yet in hiti nocturnal walks, while passing by "suspicious places, it fre. quently required an effort of philosophy to shake off the idle terrors thus excited, though no one could be more skeptical in such ' mat tent than himself. So much for early im pressions. Furthermore, we are told that the greatest difficulty under which the primitive Christian Church labored, was the tendency manifested by those adopting the new faith, to relapse into their former idola trous worship. So incurable seemed this disposition, we find it recorded, that ninny of even the most rigid disciplinarians were found paying their accustomed devotions to the secular deities, dreading to renounce them absolutely, lest they should withhold the dews and rains of heaven, and - visit the earth with pestilence, famine, &e. So much in attestation of the Divine say ing that it is the disposition of men - as well as dogs to return to their vomit, and swine to their wallowing place. Tesszsass. Noveniber 24, 1857.

Da vis, Supt. of Wyoming Co., the following resolutions were discussed and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we regard the Common School system of this State as ,one which ought to have a fair and, impartial trial, be fore it is condemned, and that in our opinion it will, if faithfully carried out, prove produc tive of it-great amount of good in the canc.:- tion of the youth of our beloved Common. wealth. Resolved, That wo do not think a system should be condertmed because it bus a few faults, believing that those faults can much better be corrected than to change the sys. tem. .Resolred, That we believe the office of County Superintendent to be one of the high est importance : that it should - be - filled only by such as are well qualified, "apt to teach," and have a love for the businen. Resolved, That in order to secure the greatest benefit from our, Common &boot 'System, ire-lit-emit men tia/ that the interest of pare is and eititens generally be awakened to the importance of the subject of education ; that they provide none but faithful, competent teachers, sod personally co-operate with them, and that they provide none but con venient and 'comfurtable School Houses, with all the needful appliances, of books and appa ratus. Resolred, That we regard uniformity of Shoo! books as highly necessary to facilitate education. Resolved, That teachers ought to the best of their ability to endeavor to inculcate moral principles in the minds of their pupils. Resolved, That inasmuch es On' high au thority "the laborer is:worthy c,f his hire," we believe ,the competent teachers of our Common Schools ought to be liberaßy re warded for their toil: Resolved, That we as teachers and citizens will continue to labor faithfully for the cause of education , believing that- - by proper ester.. utak Little Wyoming, may yet be made to occupy a respectable position among her sister counties. Resolved, That copies of these resolUticrns be sent to the North Branch Democrat, and newspapers Montrose fi publication. • . WALLACE TIFFANT,• • William Scott, Sevig.
