THE DAILY NEWS. He?! ll KC. The world lo old and the world ?3 cold, And never a day is fair, I said. Out of t ie heavens the sunlight roll >d. The greenleivo* rustled above my head, And the sea was a soa of gold. Tho world is cruel, I said agaiu ; Hor voice is harsh to my shrinking; oar. Aud the nights ai e dreary and full ol pam. Out of tire darkness, ?weet aud ole ir, There ripplod u teador etralu. nippled the song of a bird asleep, That fang in a dream of tue budding wood ; Of shining fields whore the renpers reap, Of a wee brown mate and a nestling brood, And the grass whore tho 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 my baby's head, And the lisp of a childish prayer. ?L3PFA.IRS IN THU! STATS. Fairfield.

THE SPOILS OP OFFICE. Senator Sawyer's Plea for the Southern Office Scotters. In the United States Senate, on Wednesday last, during a discussion on the distribution of the public offices Mr. Sawyer, of South Carolina, said he re? cognized as truly aa any other senator the lofty ability of several of the States which had the preponderance of patronage. He would not take a jot or tittle of the 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 moat heavily with those who have patronage to bestow. He would not pot in one request i or petition for his State were not that the case. He understood the pending resolution was to And ont how the clerks Btaod, and whether the men who are in the pnbhc departments have merits entitling ?lem to remain, notwithstanding some of the Htates have not a single man in the depart? ments. Although the reconstructed States have {resented many candidates for inferioi posi? tons, they have failed to have their claims recognized. Tbere are other States, of popu? lation little more than half a mulion, which Have more patronage than all the six reoon .touotcd'Stales. The Senator from Maine had ?aid that for half a century the Southern States isa* two to on? of the offices in Washington. Be [Dir. Sawyer] should regret snou an occur? rence again, and it aas in view of what he stated that he wanted the resolution to pass. He did not ask for an arithmetical division of offiocs, but he did say that, other things bo'ng equal, the policy of 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 whioh they can reasonably demand. Our enemies tell ns ia the South that wc represent nobody; and when we come here we are told the charges whioh the rebels make are tine-namely, you repre? sent nobody, and must therefore expect to be ignored; and it had coen 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 Benablioan party, which had declared for the political equality of all men, 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 have a majority of votes in favor of the administra? tion; and were they to be told they shonld have less patronage than the Democratic State of Kentucky? Mr. Davis remaiked, then the six reconstruct? ed States must be left as paupers, for very poor provision has been made for Kentucky, . Mr. Sawyer resumed, saying they made no application for any mau who waa not as good on political grounds as any competitor he might hive for the station. A sound national policy required-other things being equal-that as much patronage should be given td the Southern States as is compatible with the pab? ilo interests. . , . e~^*-^sa> a?

I From Onco a Week.] There is ? very curious experience known to aitiste who have had inueh prnolico m por? trait painting. Tliey will toll ;ou that neal ly o very man (and every woman, also, though, perhaps in a lesser degree,) '?.as in his mind nu imaginary picture ot hip own fuco, which difiera in a most striking degree from his real faco. It is not that evey man confiders him solf handsomer than he is; for in cisca con? stantly occurring a man is disappointed with hi H port i nit because ho fancies it obviously flatters him, and bectruso he fancies bis friends will bo amused by bis having paid for the flat? tery. On tho contrary, the ideal fane may have weakness where the real faco has strong tb, and coarseness where the real face has refine? ment. The preference which people who have no artistic training, and consequently no knowl? edge of tho respective motbods of treatment, exhibit for portraits in oil over photographs may bc partly traced to this causo. Tue cru? elly true linos caught by the camera never in any CUBJ give the ideal portrait. This they know, and many are the complaints directed against the vulgar error of supposing that photography ia of any value in portrait limn? ing. But in the case of a portrait m oil, there come in innumerable chances. Instead ol tho blind working of a machine, wo have human agency, with its receptive and reproductive faculties; and who knows but that'tho ideal lace-which is to the gentleman in question bis real face- may be hit upon ? Ho bus tried photography in v<tin. Ho is familiar with the luce which photography persists in giving bim. It is not his face. He cannot account for the consistency of various cameras, but it is not his face. Therefore he says to himself that he will abandon these mechanical appliances, and trust to the magic power of the human hand to catch bis real features, bis real expression. The genius ol the portrait painter will seize tho true points of appearance, and properly transfer them to canvas. Here is a pretty outlook for tho portrait painter, to whom bo comos with bis impossi? ble request. For it is tho purpose of a portrait in oil to be truer than any photograph can be to catch up the lights of a face that are re? pressed by the harsh process of photography to translate and render apparent and perma? nent the fleeting changes ol' characteristic ex? pression-a far too difficult task tor the ca? mera. If the photograph was truth, this portrait in oil is truth vivified; but the gentle? man in search of bis ideal face is not a bit better pleased. He accepts the portrait as a likness. Ho bangs it on bis walls, and is half dissatisfied when bis J rienda tell him it is re? markably good. After dinner ho sits and looks at it as if the immovable hguro in the frame wore an impertinent stranger who was posted there lo annoy bim with bis perpetual smile and bis stiff and glossy hair. We are suppos? ing just now, be it observed, that the portrait in oil is really a good one.. When it is bad, both tbo subject of the experiment and bis friends are Ukcly to feel uncomfortable in re? garding it. There is always something more hideously absurd in a bad oil painting than in a bad photograph. The oamera often misrep? resents, but she seldom burlewquos; while it is the nature of a bad portrait painter to intro? duce, against his will, a comic olemont into his painful efforts. A man who is anxious to tome his carnal pride should have his portrait fminted 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 dinner would be a feeble penanoe compared with this daily humbling of the proud spirit. What is the causa of this odd mistake about their p2i-sonal appearance under whioh most people labor-a mistake which survives the daily argument of the looking glass, the assertions of friends, the verdicts of the pen oil and the camera ? We believe the halluci? nation to arise from a combination of causes that are in themselves almost pathetic Every man is possessed of an ideal sell. There is either something he believes himself to be, or something which he would like to be, and whioh he is not. - He plucks the heroisms out of this or that character in history, or in fic? tion, or in bis own acquaintance, and clothes himself with these borrowed plumes. He would fain have the splendid melancholy of Dante, or the severe purity ot King Arthur, or the gallant bearing of Ivanhoe, or the bit er wit and tenderness of the suffering Heine. Dwelling upon tho characteristics in other peo? ple which they most love, mon begin uncon? sciously to imitate them. The weak school? boy, who Blinks away from the rough gambols ot his playmates, reads in a corner some novel of tho Guy Livingstone Behool, and fancies himself a muscular miracle, with the fine po? tence of six feet eight. The fat and elderly farmer, dozing over Tristram Shandy, fancies himself the keenest and cleverest dog alive, in that he is abie to see the 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 ot this, until we have built up a very pretty monster, whom we re? gard aa our own image. If a man were hon? estly to sit down and describe his character m mutely-if he were to accurately sit down what he considers its potentialities and limits, its good aotive quabtios, and its latent virtues -he wonld 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 thau maturgist believes m his own trioks. He imagines that, possessing the strongest sym {lathiee with this or that virtue, this or that brm of character, his face must reveal the presen se of these postulated qualities. If ho feels himself a hero, he must appear a hero. Take the case rf 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 he not show it in his face ? So he begins to fancy that his smooth countenance is in reality full of burning scorn, and moody melancholy, and impatient selfishness. He feels himself en rapport with these phases of mental coloring, and his face must ba an in Jex to his thoughts. He has no longer the polished features of a raw Adonis, but tho marked and sulky physiogonomy of Conrad the Corsair. And there is another branch to the subject, iiany people's faces are grossly at fault in in lioating the qualities which they, the said pec? ?le, actually do possess. George Eliot's epi? gram about the want of connection between long eyelashes and the moral sense has become oro ver bia); and while a goodly number of en? thusiasts t chiefly women ) try to persuade them? selves that they can easily tell a man by bia race, we have, generally, arrived at the conclu? sion that any such system of interpretation is nazardous and provocative bf ludicrous blun? ders. Indeed, one of the flue 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 alt down to dinner, with the same shirt front, the .ame parting of the hair, t?i?sam? smootn chin and appropriate moustache, the same air of vague languor. ?pttrt from this willful rub? bing off of angles, in whioh the tuition of a moustache has come to be regarded as an im? portant part ot the day's labor, there is the common case of the man who, against his will h is features strongly marked and incapable of education. So far from expressing the ideal? isms of the victim's mind, they convey a quite contre ry effect. But how is ne to know? He may be aware that bi? mouth and nose are not the mouth and nose which tho Chevalier Bay? ard probably possessed; but how does he know that the divine enthusiasm whioh the story of Bayard stirs within him is not marked some? how on his face? . Nay? suppose he 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, bow ls he to persuade himself that hui habitual ex? pression is either gloomy moroseness or utter vacuity? And yet this Want of correspondence between the mind and the features con? stantly occurs ; and it is the most natural thing in the world that tho man should be quite ignorant of it. Hence he fancies that any portrait of him should reveal what he knows to be his own disposition. The portrait be actually does receive he considers to be a moro bugbear, a busk, a burlesque, something entirely distinct from himsell Consequently, he Mames thc artist for the blunder th it na? to*0 bas committed. Ho never thinks of atu ?&*J9&to2^!W*v That, he say? to him? self, only reflects the passing, mood? of lmpa tience (over a wanting button) anger (over a rough razor), or despair (over a headache.) What be waaia is an toterpretatibn of himself, or of his ideal qt himself. Nature hasnot Erutted that ideal legibly on his face; and yet e believes she has ; and he will goon b?n?w_ ?UK, io spi to vi ih? concurrent testimony of a whole world iull of witnesses. -Among the presents sent to the Pope on the fiftieth anniversary of bia consecration to the priesthood was an ivory watch, of exquisite workmanship, made m.Fiance, which ta ? per- i fecttune-keaper. - , ; LABOR ANJO CAPITAL. Thc Strike of Uio Lancashire, England, Cotton Operatives. J Corresponden ce of (he Now York Herald ] LONDON, March 81,1869.-Unions most think? ing mon in England aro very greatly m istaken, a very serious calamity is hanging over the country, and is almost at our very doom, As you will no doubt havo seen in our newspa? pers, tho operatives at Proston aro "on tho st ii ko," as it IB called, and already sonio 5000 "mill hands" aro without employment. This of itself would be had enough, but tho ovil is increasing, and before another iortnight its over, at toast 20,000 men, women and children in and about tho groat contres of cotton spin? ning will be idlo, subsisting upon tho contri? butions of thoir fellow laborers in othor dis? tricts whore the miliowners have not (ried to reduce the wagos of thoir workmen. As it at present stands, the dispute between tho milloivners and the operatives in and about Preston-and the difficulty is extending all over Lancashite-may be briefly stated as follows: The masters say, and say truly, that at the present high pi ico they pay for cotton, and tho low price of tho 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 ten per cont. The operativos, on the other hand, say no. Thoy declaro, With poi feet truth, that when tra do was brisk, tho staple low-priced, tho manufactured goods high, and a demand for tho latter in every maiket, tho miliowners (nil of thom made immense profits^ and turned over thoir capital again and again,) did not raise thoir wages a penny a piece, and that now they ought not to lower thom because the market is for the moment depressed. Moreover they say, and with perfect reason on their side, that if their wages aro now loworod ten per cont., the miliowners will never raise thom again, but that "famine pay" will he tho rulo.hence? forth and forever among thom. They ave quite willing to submit the question to arbitration, ibo arbitrators to consist of an equal number of artisans and miliowners, who will among thom select somo well known public man as a referee. But tho masters will not hoar of this. With that doggedness and bull-headed obstinacy which, I am sorry to say, so often distinguishes tho Eo rlishman when he bas made his fortuno, and has a com.ortaole balance at his banker's, they will listen to nothing . "Take what we offer, or lea /e it," \s their stereotyped reply, and thousands of arl isms have taken them at thoir word and struck work. Mills ato shut up, I helpless women and childron aro halt-starved,' and the whole state of society disorganized in what generally are the most flourishing dis? tricts of England for the working-class. For? tunately, (here are certain mil -owners in tho north of Lancashire and in Yorkshire, who aro not so short-sighted-not so g.-asping. Thei* mills ere not shut, because they havo not nought to reduoo wages. In these favored dis tricts tho operatives who aro in work are sub? scribing to maintain those who are not. The friendly sooieties and trades union also help greatly, so that the poor people do not actually waut for bread and meat, or rather for bread and tea, for it is very little meat they eyer nee except on Sunday. But still it is an evil. A great wrong is being done these people. The funds on which they ought to rely in time of sickness are now being eaton 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 wo shall all suffer some day from the 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. The 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 ita dnties as well as its rights, and if it neglects those duties it will someday hare to feel-be made to feel-that it has done wrong. All those operatives that are on strike are the very pick of onr artisans. They aro steady, hard working men, anxious only to get a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, to maintain their wivos and little ones in comfort, to keep a couple of decent rooms over their heads, and to put by a small nest egg which will keep those dependent upon them from the poor bouse when the head of the family is dead. They are, in every sense of the word, decent, I respectable men, with no small amount of self respect, os witness the privation they endured at tho commencement of the civil war in Ameri? ca, before the wealthy of England carno to their h?lp. They would malte good citizens any? where; but most of all are they calculated to flourish in tho United States, where, no matter how bumble a man may be born, or how short his purse may be, he leola that if ha has a trade or a handicraft, and is honest, sober and well conducted, h*e must rise in the world. LADIES' CLUB HOUSE IN NEW YORK_A new club bouse for ladies, says the New York Ex? press, was opened on Monday at No. 49 East Twenty-third street, near the Aoademy of Do sign. It waa recently occupied by tho family of Dr. Ludlow, and hoa been bought by a wealthy lady for the sole use of her aex. In the basement is a kitchen, a small dining room, and an apartment for housekeeper and , servant. On the ground floor the office of the Revolution will be located. The two parlors above will be used as reception rooms and for festive purposes. On the third floor the Soro aia and Workingwoman's Associations will hire rooms aa headquarters. On the fourth story a party of lady artists will ocenpy a large room as a joint studio, while another apartment and three fine bed rooms upon the fifth floor will be devoted to the use of ladies visiting the city alone who may not wish to go to a hotel. The cost of the building with the furniture baa amounted to about $50,000. The owner simply desires to realize an interest of seven per cont, on this, which will be $8500. Kxports.
