Politics.?Tho word polities is dorivod from the Greek word polos, signifying a eihr. Hence, politics literally means something relating to a city, but is commonly understood in a widersonse, as being the science of the government of a country. A mistaken idea of polities is prevalent in this country. Any contest behveeu two candidates for ofiipe is styled politics, and any uiiu ? iiu viii uiuuiH' ii suuup, ana taiK tor un hour about this nnd that party, i?dignified with the title of politician. Therefore, when any one hoars politics mentioned, bis naturally recurs to tooso associations, und ho is disgusted. But this notion respect-; ing politics i^ entirely false, I'olitics proper, thatthe science of government, is the m:;.st noble of professions, the beau ideal of a]l arts and ?cicuoes. A mathematician, an astronomer, or a chemist, 5$ universally respected as a man of great 1 larnincr nnd p application; but .1 politician, in the true hcsijso of the word; must study teft times a a much, for he must know a little of everything. Politics is mipcrior to every other art and science, for upon it depends their cxistcnco. Every nation, famous for onlighttfument and learning, has been an adept in the science of politics. It is at tho root of civilization, and in whatever country it becomes visible, it is the shadow of greatness cast before.?Southern Monitor.

Tho world has pleasant places, und 1 Would hear in uiy last hour tho voice,' aud tho birds, and tho choicc music I may have loved, but better music and voicos of nioro ravishing sweetness, nnd far pleasautcr places arc to be found in Heaven, and I cannot feel that it is well or natural to oppress tho dying with the distressing wretchedness of common sorrow.

Tei;w,nu tiik Truth.?Wo endorse the followiug remarks of tho New York Home Journal. An editor's couch is certainly no bc?l < r rosea : " Of all employment, there is none that so taxes tho mind, temper aud flesh, as that of editing a paper; iiouo that roquirOa a nicer tact, a sounder judgment, a moro constant application, a quicker wit, or a kinder heart. A churlish temper could never suocecd as an editor, nor a hasty 0110, nor an unforgiving one. An editor must turn himself inside out to tho public, lie cannot be a hypocrite ajiy more than a husband could be a hypocrite to his wife. He must 1.1 e -1? - * vnfruoi, uiuiwit >11 mi inui iic iiik'm, us inucn in selecting the thoughts of others as in publishing his own ; and the better way for him in the outsofc is to begin frankly.? Whoever succocded tolorably well as an editor is something more than an ordinary man, let his cotomporarics think of him as they may." The elock struck ten ; I seized my hat and bade good-night to all except the lass I courted : she came with inn tfimurrU ; ww liall; she stood within the portal, and I gazed upon hor charms ; and oh, I longed that moment to olusp her to my arms.? She spoke about the moon and stars?how clear and bright they shone; I said Ttho't the crops would fail, unless we had rain soon. Then I edged a little closer, put my arms around her ncck, and gazed upon thoso rosy lips I long so much to tan to.? Said 1, my dearest Susy, I'll never rest contented, if I leave to-night without a kiss, I'll grow demented. Then up she turned her j rosy mouth, and everything was handy; i | quick from her lips I snatched a kiss, oh I | Yankee doodlo dandy ! Theu off fox* homo T started, I fcould no louger stay; with light heart and brecches thin, I whistled nil the way.
