BBAVTlFsJL TB1BUTB TO TUB SOUTH. Wo copy the following beautiful tri- | - . bute to Virginia and the South from : the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist, of P) the 1.2th instant : And yet, amidst all this desolation and ruin, did tho world ever tee any? thing like tho uncomplaining dignity with which the South has borne a - hideous vivisection that left it at the ~. time but a ghastly semblance of life ? We confess that not all the magnificent ,'? Valor that won her thousand victories, . not the fiery onset of of Jackson's ' Scotch-Irish, nor the superb composure , wlth whioh Lee directed the advaneicg - lido of battle, or covered the slow and sullen retreat, has ever so electrified and melted our wholo souls as the sub lime fortitude with which the ?south has CV borne tho most unspeakable woes. "Tba NIobo of nation*, Ibero she stands. Childless and .orownloss in her voiccle** woo, - Aa empty urn within her withered bunds, ^ . Whoi? holy dael was scattered long ago." Nor is this all. The Virgiuia thus 'treated, the "Lone Mother of Dead r;y. Empires," is also the Mother of . that Union (rom whioh abo has been kept out '" like a leper, and only admitted now ' under tho most tyrannical and exasperat? ing condition J. The corner-stoue of this grand constitutional fabric was laid I by tho hand of tho giant wiro now stands , nt the threshold of the temple, his hair shorn j his eyes pot out, and for the '<' present making sport for the Philistine!1, lt is Virginia, that proud old colony, - whioh, having no quarrel of her own with the King of England, yet took up, ' - from generous sympathy, tho oause of ?' MusbRchuseUs ; Virginia, but for whose . Washington the Revolutionary War ? . would have been a disastrous failure ; whose Jefferson wrote the Declaration .f Independence; whose Patriuk Henry X roused tho nation to arms with his fiery eloquence ; whose Marshall was the ' glory of American jurisprudence; whose ' Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Taylor, adorned the Executive chair ; whose Winfield Scott and Rough and Beady .were thp leading military figures of the ?loxioan war ; with troops of her valo? rous sons in the war of 1812 ; whose statesmen have illustrated the councils - os havo her soldiers the eamps of thc Republic-this is the good old com ( monwealtb which, for five long years, fias been ground to the earth under tfie heel of negro military vassalage, and is now qnly permitted to enter the ?di? fi?e which she has made by her own hands, and adorned and immortalized by her genius and virtue, from its foun? dation to its pinnacle, os a captive and ftBlavc. LITT LR CAUSKS, LARGK EFFECTS - Splash went a little stone into a pool, and a bubble and a circle showed whero it fell. Theo oame a circle boyond, fainter but larger. Another came round that, aod another and another, eaoh fainter and larger, till the last reached the margin of the pool oud moved the rushey. "Something very important roust have happened, by tho size of this circle," said the rushes. "No, gentlemen," said a willow, that lowered above them, "I can see over the pool, and I assure you the first oirclc from which this, through a succession of others, took its rise, was very small, and had a most insignificant origin ; but 1 have often noticed of little things and their report, that the longer they live the larger they grow, till the effect at fast bears no proportion to its cause." A Pennsylvania bachelor thus gots after "a lovely woman ;" "I impeach her, in tho name of the great whale of the ooean, whoso Innes aro torn asunder to enable her to keep straight. VfMropeooh her in the name of a peo .oo?r, whoso strut, witfroot his permis? sion, she has, stealth!ully, aud> without honor, assumed. "I impeach her in the namo of the horse, whoso tail she has perverted from its u?e, to tho making of wavy tresses to decorote tho back of th? head and seek. "I impcaoh her, in tho name of the kangaroo, whose beautiful figures she, #in taking upon herself tho Grecian bend, has brought into ill favor and disro puta."
