THE DAILY NEW?. Reboise. The world is old and tue world ia cold, And ?ever * day is fair. I said. Out of tue heavens tho sunlicht rolled, The green leave-* rustled above my head, And thc sea was a sea of gold. The world is cruel. I said again ; Ber voice is harsh to my shrinking ear. A jd the nights are dreary and foll of pain. Ont of the darkness, sweet and cleir. There rippled a tender strain. Rippled the song of a bird asleep, That sang in a dream of the buddln? wood ; Of shining fields where the reapers reap, Of a wee brown mate and a nestling brood, And the gross where the berries peep. The world is false, though the world be fair, And never a heart is pure, I said. And lol the clinging of white arms bare, The innocent gold of nay baby's head, And the Usp ef a childish prayer. jVFATIiS ZN" THE STATE. Fairfield.

I Senator Sawyer1? Plea for th'. Southern Office Seekers. In the United States Senate, or Wednesday last, during a discussion on the distribution of ] the public offices Mr. Sawyer, of South. Carolina, said he re? cognized as truly as any other senator the lofty ability of several of the States which bad the preponderance of patronage. He would not take a jo: or tittle of tho eminent ability of her citizens from Massachusetts or Ohio. He agreed with the senator from Massachusetts that the public service was first to be consid? ered, and which should weigh most heavily with those who have patronage to bestow. He would not put in one request or petition for his Statt were not that the case. He understood the pending resolution was to find out how the clerks stand, and whether the men who are m tho public departments have merits entitling v them to remain, notwithstanding some of the States have not a single man in the depart? ments. Although the reconstructed States have presented many candidates for inferioi posi? tions, they have failed to have their claims recognized'. There are other States, of popu? lation little more than half a million, which nave more patronage than all the six recon? structed States. The Senator from Maine had ?aid that for half a century the Southern States had two to one of the offices in Washington. He [Mr. Sawyer] should regret such an occur? rence again, and it was in view of what he stated that he wanted the resolution to pass. He did not ask for an arithmetical division of ] offices, but he did say that, other things be'ng equal, the policy o? the National Government should be to recognize the state of affairs South. They want a national policy, to be wel? comed back with open arms, and to receive everything in the way of patronage whi?h they ?an reasonably demaud. Our enemies tell na in the South that we represent nobody; and when we come here we are told the charges which the rebels make are true-namely, you repre? sent nobody, and must therefore expect to be ignored; and it had been said by persons in high position, you must recollect that the white vote in your State was a small affair. Had it come to this, that any member of the Republican party, which bad declared for the political equality of all meD, without regard to race or previous condition of servitude, should speak to him in this manner about the white vote of the South ? All these States bave a majority of votes in favor of the administra? tion; and were they to be told they should have less patronage than tbe Democratic State of Kentucky? Mr. Day is remarked, then the six reconstruct? ed States must be left as paupers, for very poor provision bas been made for Kentucky. Mr. Sawyer resumed, saying they made no application for any man who was not as good on political grounds as ?ny competitor ho might have for the station. A sound national policy required-other things being equal-that as much patronage should bo given to the Southern States as is compatible with the pub? lic interests. -A lady on the shady sido ol 50, recently , married to a fast young man, won?: to take I leave of him at the station on the occasion of his deportare on a buainosa tour. Remem? ber, dear Charley," abe cried, aa tho train be? gan to move, " that you arc married." To which he replied, "Dear Caroline, I will make a memorandum of it," and at once tied a knot VJ- l,,n,Ilro,,4,i.if ONE'S IDEAL FACE. IFrom Once a Week.] There- ia a very curious experience known to artists who have had much practico in por? trait painting. They will tell you that neaily every man (and every woman, also, though perhaps m a lesser degree,) has in his mind RU imasinarv picture of hie own face, which diff?ra in a most striking degree from his real face. It is not that ovary mau considers him? self handsomer than he'is; for in cases con? stantly occurring a mau is disappointed with his p?rtiait because he fancies it obviously flatters Lim, and because be fancies his frionda will be amused by his haviug paid for the flat? tery. On tho contrary, thc ideal face may have weakness where the real faeo has strength, aud coarseness where the real face hos refine? ment. Tho preference which people who have uo artistic training, and consequently noknowl ' edge of the respectivo methods of "treatment, exhibit for portraits in oil over photographe may be partly traced to thia cause. The cru? elly true linea caught by the camera never in any casj give thc ideal portrait. This they know, and many are the complaints directed against the vulgar error of eupposing that photography is ot' any value in portrait limn? ing. But in the case of a portrait in oil, there come iii innumerable chances. Instead of tlie blind working of a machine, wo have human agency, with its receptive and reDroduciive faculties; and who kuowa bub that" the ideal face-which is to the gentleman in question bis real face-may be hit upon ? He has tried photography in vain. He is familiar with tho face which photography persists in giving him. It is not his face. He cann ot account for the consistency of various cameras, but it is not hia face. Therefore he saya to himself that ho will abandon these mechanical appliances, and trust to the magic power of the human hand to catch his real features, his real expression. Thc genius or the portrait painter will seize the true points of appearance, and properly transfer them to canvas. Here is a pretty outlook for ;he portrait gaimer, to whom he comes with his impossi le request. For it is thc purpose of a portrait in oil io be truer than any photograph can bo? to catch up the lights ot a face that are re? pressed by tho harsh process of photography to translate and render apparent and perma? nent the fleeting changes of characteristic ex? pression-a far too difficult task /or the ca? mera. If the nhotograph was truth, this I portrait in oilis Wh "vanned; but tbe gentle? man in search of his idea! fi?? IS 2?! a bl better pleased. He accepts tho portrait as a liknees. Ho hangs it on his walls, and is half dissatisfied when his iiiends tell him it is re? markably good. After dinner ho Bits and looks at it as it tbe immovable hguro in tho iranio wore an importaient stranger who was postod there lo annoy him with, his perpetual smilo and his stifl and glossy hair. We are suppos? ing just now, bc it observed, that the portrait Sil is really a good oue. When it is bad, both tho subject of the experiment and bis friends are likely to feel uncomfortable in re? garding it. Thero is always somothiDg more hideously absurd in a bad oil painting than in a bad photograph. The camera often intsrep resents, but she seldom burlesques; while it is the nature of a bad portrait painter to intro? duce, against his will, a comic olement into his painful efforts. A man who is anxious to tame his carnal pride should havo his portrait ?muted by a dozen fifth-rate artists, should ock these travesties of himself up in a room by themselves, and visit the collection for a few minutes every forenoon. A hair shirt and gruel for duiner would be a feeble penance compared with thia daily humbling ot the proud spirit. What is the cauao of this odd mistake about their personal appearance under which moat people labor-a mistake which survives the daily argument of the looking glass, the assertions of friends, the verdicts of tho pen? cil and the camera ? We believe the halluci? nation to arise from a combination of causes that are in thomsolvos almost pathetic. Every man is possessod of an ideal sell. There is either something he beliovos himself to be, or something which he weald like to bo, and which ho is not. He ph oks tho heroisms out cf this or that character in history, or in fic? tion, or in his own acquaintance, "and clothes himself with these borrowed plumes, lie would fain Ir-.vo the aplcndid melancholy of Daute, or tb?; severe purity of King Arthur, or tho gallant bo-ring of Ivanhoe, or tho bit er wit and tendc.*nes3 of tho suffering Heiue Dwelling upon tho characteristics in other peo? ple which they most lovo, mon begin uncon? sciously tn imit?t* thain. 'Viii* wauk anhnnl boy, who slinks sway from the rough gambols ot his olaymates, reads in a corner souio novel ot tho Guy Livingstone school, and fancies himself a muscular miracle, with the fluo po? tence of rix feet eight. Tho tat and elderly farmer, dozing over Tristram Shandy, fancies himself the keenest and cleverest dog alivo, in that he is able to see tho sly humor, and fun of the successive quips, jokes and insinua? tions. From a hundred different sources we drink in impressions of characters unlike our own, and unconsciously assume so much of that, or so much of this, until we havo built up a very pretty monster, whom we re? gard as our own image. U a man were hon? estly to sit down and describe his character minutely-if he were to accurately sit down what be considers its potentialities and limits, its good active qualities, and i a latent virtues -he would produce a composition sufficient to make a universe split with laughter. Now this imaginary hero whom every man constructs must have his corresponding face. He must have features to express these noble qualities, and give token to his neighbor that he is no common man. Whereupon the ideal face is constructed, and accepted as a fact. All these processes, be it remarked, go on unconsciously, so that the acting tbau maturgist behoves m his own tricks. He imag-nes that, possessing the strongest sym? pathies with this or that virtue, this or that form of character, his face must reveal tho Siresense of these postulated qualities. If be eels himself a hero, he must appear a hero. Take the case jf a young man who, of smooth visage and open disposition, has been struck by some Byronic portrait of gloom and des? pair. He chooses one out ot that gallery of demon-heroes as his particular hero, and he feels'that he, too, is such a man. Being such a man, shall be not show it in his face ? So bc begins to fancy that bis smooth countenance is in reality fall of burning scorn, and moody melancholy, and impatient aelfishness. He feels himself cn rapport with these pnoses of mental coloring, and his face must bj an in? dex to his thoughts. He has no longor the polished foatures of a raw Adonis, bul the marked and sulky pbysiogonomy of Conrad tho Corsair. And there is another branch to the subject. Many people's faces are grossly at fault in in? dicating thc qualities which they, the said peo? ple, actually do possess. George Eliot's epi? gram about the want of connection between long eyelashes and themoral sense has become proverbial; and while a goodly number of en? thusiasts (chiefly women) try to persuade them? selves that they can easily tell a maa by his face, we hive, generally, arrived at the conclu? sion that any suth system of interpretation is hazardous and provocative of ludicrous blun? ders. Indeed, one of the fine arts of society is the cultivation of monotony in appearance, so that you shall not be able to tell the difference between Tom, Dick and Harry, when they sit down to dinner, with the same shirt front, tho same parting of tho bair, the same smooth chin and appropriate moustache, tho same air of vague languor. Apart from this willful rub? bing off of angles, m which the tuition of a moustache has come to be regarded as an im? portant part of the day's labor, thoie is the common case of the mau who, against his will, h ts features strongly marked and incapable of education. So far from expressing the ideal? isms of the victim's mind, they convey a quite contr. ry effect. Bat how is he to know? He may be aware that his mouth and nose are not the mouth and nose which the Chevalier Bay? ard probably possessed; but how does he know that the divine enthusiasm which the story of Bayard stirs within him is not marked some? how on hts face? Nay, eupposo ho is only con? scious of a very actual and practical good na? ture, which is his own by natural inheritance, and not assumed by any mimeti : effort, how is he to persuade himself that his habitual ex? pression is either gloomy moroseness or utter vacuity? And yet this w?ul of correspondence between the mind and tho features con? stantly occurs ; and it is the moat natural thing in the world that the mau should bo quito ignorant of it. Hence he fancies that any portrait of bim should reveal what ho knows to be his own disposition. Tho portrait he actually does receive he considers to be a mere bugbear, a husk, a burlesque, somuihing entirely distinct from himself. Consequently, he blames the artist for tho blunder th it na? ture has committed. He never thinks of stu? dying the looking-glass. That, he save to him? self, only reflects the passing mood? of impa tience (over a wanting button) anger (overa rough razor), or despair (over ? headache.) What be wants is an interpretation of himself, or of Iiis ideal of himself. Nature has not printed that ideal legibly on his lace; and yet he believes she bas ; and be will go on believ? ing, in 6pito of the concurrent testimony ol'a whole world full of wltncsse?. -Among the presents scat to thc Pope on the littiLth anniversary of his consecration to the priesthood was an ivory watch, of exquisite workmanship, mado in Fiance, which is a per W Hior^ltoeuer. LABOR AND CAPITAL. - . Tbc Strike of tbe Lancashire, England Cotton Operatives. [Correspondence of (bc New York Herald ] LONDON, March 31,1869.-Unless most think ing men in England are very greatly mistaken, avery serious calamity is hanging over th country, aud is almost at our very dooia. As you will no doubt have seen in our newspa? pers, tho operatives at Preston aro "on tho stiike," as it is called, and already some 5000 "mill hands" aro without emplo>m?nt. This of itself would be bad enough, but thc evil is increasing, and before another fortnight is over, at least 20,000 men, women and children in and about the great centres of cotton spin? ning will be idlo, subsisting upon the contri? butions of their fellow laborers in other dis? tricts where the millowncrs have not tried to reduce the wages of their workmen. As it at present stands, the disputo between, the millowners and tbe operatives in and about Prestoo-and the difficulty is extending all over Lancashiie-may be briefly stated as follows: The masters say, and say truly, that at the present high pi ico they pay for cotton, and the low price of the markets for cotton cloths, twists, prints and tho like, it does not pay them to work their mills, and that they must reduce all wages by tcu per cent. The operatives, on tho other hand, say no. They declare, with perfect truth, that when trade was brisk, thc staple low-priced, the manufastured goods high, and a demand for the latter in every maiket, the millowuera (all of them made immense profits, and turned over their capital again and again,) did not raise their wages a penny apiece, and that now they ought not to lower thom because tho market is for tho moment depressed. Moreover they say, and with perfect reason on their fide, that if their wagos are now lowered ten per cent., the millowuera will never raise them again, but that "famine pay" will be the rule hence? forth and forever among them. They are quite wilting to submit the question to arbitration, thc arbitrators to consist of an equal number of artisans and millowners, who will among them select some well known public man as a referee. But the masters will not boar of this. With that doggedness and bull-headed obstinacy which, lam sorry to say, so often distinguishes thc Englishman whon he has made his fortune, and has a com ortablc ba'.anco at his banker's, they will liston io nothing. "Take what we offer, or lea/o it," ,s their stereotyped reply, iud thousands Of artisans have taken them at thoir woi ti and struck work. Mills at e Bhut up, helpless women and children are hall-a^rvcd, and the whole state of socie^- disorganized ;u what generally are 'hr mor. flourishing dis? tricts of England fer lit? workiog-clnss. For? tunately, there are certain mil -owners iu the north of Lancashire and in Yorkshire, who arc not so short-sighted-not so grasping. Thei . mills fro not shut, because they have not sought toreduco wagra. In ilicse favored dis? tricts tho operatives who are in work are sub scribing to maintain th oso who arc not. The friendly societies and tradee union alao help greatly, so that tbe poor people do not actually want for bread and meat, or rather for bread and tea, for it is very little moat they over seo except on Sunday. But still ii is an evil. A great wrong is bei?g done these people. The funds on which they ought to rely in time of sickness are now being eateu up to afford them "every day food." And all, I fear, for no use. Unfortunately for us, capital always starves la? bor into submission in England. I say''un? fortunately," for I fear we shall all suffer some day from tho greed of those who own capital in this country. Men cannot-and, what is more, they will not submit and give in forever when they think-when they know- they have right on their side. Thc day will come when tho la? borer in England will help himself to a hundred fold more than capital might now content him with. Capital in all civilized communities has its duties as well as its rights, and if it neglects those duties it will some day have to feel-be made to feel-that it hos dono wrong. All thoso operatives thal aie on strike are the very pick of our artisans. They are steady, hard working men. anxious only to get a fair day's wages for a fair day'a wert, to maintain their wives and little ouca in comfort, to keen a conplo of decent rooms over their heads, and to put by a small neut egg which will koop those dependent upon th nm ire m tho poor house when the head of the family ia dead. They aro, iu every senso of tho word, decent, respectable men, with no small amount of self respect, as witness thc privation they endured at thc commencement of thc civil war in Ameri? ca, before tho we<\l*hyof 13ti5!.xuCt camo tulLt n h?lp. They would make good cit.zens any? where; but most of all aro they oalcnlarcd to flourish in the United States, where, no matter how ii amble a man may be born, or how short ins purse may be, bc feels that if In has a trade or a handicraft, and ia honest, sober and well conducted, he muat rise in tho world. LADIES' CLOD HOUSE IS NEW YORK.-A new club house for ladies, says thc New York Ex? press, was opened on Monday at No. 49 Fa6t Twenty-third strcot, near tho Academy of re? sign. It was recently occupied bv the family of IV. Ludlow, and has been bought by a wealthy lady for the solo use of her sex. In the basement is a kitchen, a small dining room, and an apartment for boneekoeper and servant. On the ground floor the office of tho Revolution will be located. Tho two.parlors above will be heed as reception rooms and for festivo purposes. On the third floor the Soro sis and Working women's Associations will hire rooms as headquarters. Ou the fourth story a party of lady artists will occupy a large ioom as a joint studio, while another apartmont and three flue bed rooms upon the f?ft h floor will be devoted to the use of ladies visiting thc city alone who may not wish to go to a hotel. The cost Of tho building with tho furniture has amounted to about $50,000. Tho owner simply desires to realize an interest of seven per cent, on this, which will be $3500. (Hoomcrri?l. Exports.
