to form a Searing Sreiefg. A full at

Such, my dear hearers, reads a no

oay.s t, "ouily: Nut 111 a bully spir
it hut with a sort of puritanical mean
ing, and concluded to go. 3lrs. Sniv
eller—Mrs. Beacon Sniveller—lived
in a large, white house, in a stone patch
under the hill, down by her husband's
button shop. Mrs. Sniveller was a
ltadiig horse, *> onlled, in the team of
benevolence at Buttonville. She had a
little peaked red nose, about right to
open dams with : a nervous jerk toiler
head, spiral entieers, and a water-fall,
the size of a plum pudding, hut filled
with more ingredients. Deacon Sniv
eller passed the plate Sabbaths and
took the funds home to count. Mr.
Sniveller always gave with liberality
on the next Sunday!
I wan tod to go. I borrowed hoop
skirt.-, waterfall and etceteras I puff
ed my front hair, slung my waterfall
on my bump of obstinacy, hoisted an
onion into the ridicule 1 carried on my
left arm, shouldered a cotton umbrella,
took a piece of red flannel to make a
shirt for some little innocent hud on
the tree of Abolitionism, and sailed
forth as the Yankee struck two.
Mrs. Snivil.er was in. The front
parlor and the middle was full of noble
women, whilethe best bed room was
full of bonnets, green umbrellas and
retscules, in which to carry home sweet
cakes, tarts, biscuit, plum bits, apple
cores, and little things slyly slipped
from Mr. Sniviller's table.
Mrs. Sniviller didn't know me. I
told her I was little Sally Squiggles, as
what lived there ten years afore, and
had been South teaehin skule!
"Lordy massy, so it is! Why, how
natural you do look, now it all comes
to me again! Bless me! Let me kiss
my dear Sally who has escaped from
the wretches!"— And angelic Mrs.
Sniviller mine near putting,' my eye
hors (lit combat with the end of her
nose!
i was introduced. Nineteen women
were glad to see me and kissed their
dear little Sally, til! my waterfall got
skrewed clear round under my left ear
and I began to feel a rising sensation
in my throat from the hugging then
and there given, or words to that ef
fect.
After I bad been so affectionately
gone through, i went into tiie bed
room to reconstruct. Gracious! My
waterfall had got under my left ear,
making me look as if some ugly man
of sin had lifted me one with brass
knuckles and forgot to take it home
with him, while my beautiful front
hair resembled a garden full of pea
vines after a hurricane. But I retained
my composure and went out and be
came the centre of attraction.
"My dear Sully!"
"Precious Sally!"
"Little Sally Squiggles, sure e
nough!"
"So glad you cum hum!"
"Xeowdew tell us all about it!"
Mrs. SniviJJer was made chairwo
man. and the following resolutions
were adopted:
Jla.solvetl, That this shall bo called the
Buttonville Benevolent Baby Associa
tion.
Resolved, That Mrs. Sniviller he, and
hereby are, our President.
Resolved, That our aim is to help the
downtrodden and bed ridded daugh
ters of Ham, now in the dutches of
that vile people, and to this end every
member of the B. B. 8., make one lit
tle flannel shirt a week, and Sally
Squiggles shall tell us the size.
Resolved, That we open and close our
Society with prayer.
Resolved , That each one of the mem
bers invitesome man to go home with
her at night. fHere I was about to ob
ject for fear of exposure, bit for fear of
exposure 1 didn't object.-*
After the Society was organized I
was kept so busy answering questions
that T canienear not finishing the baby
envelope I was workingon, and should
not, had T not taken lonf stitches as
people do in Benevolent sowing.
Mrs. Sniviller said :
"Neow, Sally, ain't that ere South
ern people the hatefulest, proud people
the world ever did see? Cousin John,
who went down as a sutler, brought
home two trunksof the proudest silks,
laces, jewelry that was real gold, and
set with party stones that was real dia
monds, and worth a power of money.
He found them in bureaus, trunks,
closets and such places. The sneaking
coward men had gone off to kill our
good people, and the women were at
work in the hospitalsandall John had
to do was to whip a lot of little chil
dren and help himself! I know them
ere folks are a wicked, mean, ongrate
ful set, and ought to be killed."
Mrs. Puritan wanted to know if it
was true that the people of the South
actually cooked biled dinners on Sun
day? If they did, she really hoped
her cousin in Congress would pass a
law that whenever a man in the South
cooked a biled dinner on Sunday, he
should be hung before dinner and his
biled dinner sent North !
Mrs. Pinch back hoped the war would
continncr to go on till there was no
more end of nothing. For her part, it i
was all st tiff about the people suffering j
during the war. lier Josiah had a!
contract and made two hundred thou
sand dollars the tirst year, and when ]
her brother, Rev. Peek nose Ranter,
came back from the war where he had
periled his precious lifeeating preserves
so they would not hurt sick soldiers, he
brought home more than fifty gold
watches and the nicest gold clasp bible,
which was now used every Sunday in i
one of the Buttonville churches.
Mrs. Squeak saiti the people of the
South were nothing but murderers, for
wiiou nei wroiuci, \nn. viJ, ro u • >
was out in a lield, doln nothln, killin
nobody but just seein how much cot
ton an army team could drag, so he
could tell if it was a good team, some
cowardly gorilla shot a hole clear
through him, and wouldn't even send
his clothes home for Jedidiah to wear
out! and she hoped if another war ev
er did come, some (ft them sinful men
of the West would go down and do it
up for 'em agin, not as she cared so
much for her brother, but she wanted
them ere clothes for her Jedediah.
Mrs. Cockeye said she hoped there
would be a hull passel of wars, for her
cousin, her dear good cousin Benjamin
(the Beast) had made lofs of money in
the late war, and had supplied nearly
all her relations with spoons, watches
silver ware, &c., and said it was right
the war should go on, for her cousin
was safer in the war than afore a court
of justice even, and said it was a Christ
ian duty to let all Christian wars be
continnered as long as there was any
body to continncr 'em.
Mrs. Sniviiier here spoke again—
"Well, I don't care no how. The
South should be fought-! What
right had they to have cotton picked
by niggers without asking our consent ?
And they were rich. And they had
nice tilings. And we believe that a
nigger baby is of more account than a
white nauper in the North. And my
husband, Deacon Suiviller, wants more!
1 tones to make buttons of. He'll sell
the buttons to theSouth and West, and
they will have to pay us New England j
Christian- for the privilege of wiring .
out their own bones.
By this time tea was ready. Me
had a good tea. Such curious silver j
ware, old style, pure silver didn't taste
brassy a bit, and all of us ladies tasted ;
all the silver dishes to see! And such j
a lot of spoons! Each one of us had I
atour plate a spoon with our initials
on. Mrs. Sniviller had a barrel of sil
ver spoons, and hunted them over till
she found our regular initials in regular
order. Oh, it was so nice! And we j
piled all the shirts up in a chair, and j
put a bible rescued from the wicked
South on the top of the pile, and then j
Rev. Mr. Shimmer came up aud made j
a prayer, and Mrs. Dawdler on a nice i
rosewood piano played that patriotic !

SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF A NEW STYLE.
The Beechers are natural growths
of Puritanism—fair samples of that
intoleranceof belief, which finally loses
itself in impracticableness and unchris
tian ideas or rank infidelity. They
have ceased to possess Christ's religion,
and are full of Beecher religion, alto
gether a different compound, a thing
as changeable as the hues of a chamele
on or'an Abolitionist's notion of What
constitutes loyalty.
Ward Beeeher's church has been for
years little better than a Sunday ware
house for the inculcation and dissemi
nation of the blackest sort of Black Re
publicanism. Throngs have been in
weekly attendance to applaud and laugh
on Sundays as they would hardly do
on Week days, lie has grown popular
—has proved a "paying card" for the
trustees, who invested money in build
ing the church in which lie holds forth
—has received great salaries—purchas
ed lands, and is one of a few ofthe cler
ical,lights whose names figure in the
income lists. He affects oddity, and
takes real delight in startling old fash
ioned christians with new notions of
liberality toward worldly pleasures
advocates billiards, occasionally "pun
ches" a few himself, and drives as fast
a horse as any jockey in Brooklyn.
This Yankee christian has a sister,
not "to fortune and fame unknown"—
she has written books—books in which
the "colored cusses" whose ancestral
stock once worshipped fetishes in Afri
ca, figure as heroes and heroines, and
wherein men, of Southern birth and
white faces are "no better than they
should be," viewed from the imagina
tive Beeeher's stand-point. The name
of the female, since she ceased to be a
Beecher, is Harriet B. Stowe. She had
some peculiar notions, religiously which
she has given to the world lately. Wri
ting of Sunday schools, she says:
"if the different churches of a city
would erect a building where there
should be a billiard table, one or two
nine-pin alleys, a reading-room, garden
and grounds for ball-playing, or inno
cent lounging, they would do more to
keep their young people from the ways
of sin, than a Sunday School."
How do some of our good Lacrosse
admirorsof,and believersin, the Beech
er stock like these recommendations?
Which of the religious denominations
in our city will take the necessary steps
for the erection of such a building as
Uncle Tom's Harriet recommends as a
suitable auxilary establishment for a
well conducted Sunday school?
Under the progressive ideas of Puri
tanism we may expect to hear some of
our modern divines announce from the
pulpit, after a fervent prayer, that at
tlie &l?pennfeV<le'nl hflSumiay"' school',
will play the deacons a four handed
gameof billiards, of five hundred points,
for a new Bible; or hear one minister
challenge another to roll him a string
of ten pins for a new contribution box!
it will be a startling novelty for a lit
tle time perhaps, to see a champion bat
suspended over the pulpit of the relig-
shop, boasting the best nine at base
ball, among those who go to Ziou by
the Beecher route.
If this system of keeping "young
people from the ways of sin" is to come
into general use—if billiard rooms and
nine-pin alleys are suitable adjuncts for
the Sunday school, it certainly seems
to us that a tirst class saloon should al
so he thought of. After billiard and
nine pins, "drinks all around" would
be the thing, and afford a means for in
culcating tine moral sentiments, relig
ious toasts, and pious maxims. New
converts should pay for the "celestial
cock-tails," "evangelical juleps," or
"angelic Tom and Jerry." Whenever
a minister received a "raise of wages"
he should "stand the whiskey"—and
appropriations for benevolent purposes
could be decided by rubbers at "peak
nuckle," or "seven up." Is there any
thing more improper or out of charac
ter in these suggestions, than in the
ideas advocated by Mrs. Stowe.
The fiendish character ofthe religious
precepts inculcated by New England
fanatics has driven from Sunday schools
and churches hundreds and thousands,
and it is by such artifices as those sug
gested above, that the bloorl-thirsty big
ots seek to fill up their ranks and kindle
a new interest In their pernicious sys
tem, borrowing of their father, the dev
il, some of his chief attractions. It is
not at all out of character for New Eng
land, hut will seem to those not living
in the "brain of the Republic," (as the
egotists term their narrow-minded sec
tion,) a little out of character to yoke
the temples ofthe Living God with bil
liard rooms and nine-pin alleys. What
will be the next freak of Beecher Chris
tianity ? Lacrosse Democrat.

TIIESVMjUT OF THE KOOKY HOFA
TA IVS
j A correspondent making a tourofthe
j Rooky Mountains, speaking of the
i beauty of the snow-flowers and the
grandeur of the scenery, says:
Another quarter of an hour, and the
steeps fell back in front, leavingalove
ly Alpine meadow, dotted with clumps
of pine, the vivid green of its turf
sprinkled with snowy star-floWeiw, and
th creek of icy crystal winding through
it.
I was delighted when Mr. Byers gave
the word to unsaddle. It was barely
three quarters of a mile, he said, to the
summit of the Pass. Whether we
would cross was still a doubtful matter,
and before attempting it both beasts
and men mu.it be fed.—The former
were turned loose to graze at will, with
their long lariats dragging after them ;
the latter unhooked the cups from their
button-holes, opened theeoffee-bags, out
the ham with hunting knives,and par
took of the biscuits which were not
sufficiently u sad." The water of the
brook was so intensely cold that it al
most made one scream. Yet immedi
ately out of anl through it grew a flow
er so purely beautiful that we all cried
out with admiration on discovering it.
Out of a ring of broadly ovate leaves
(under the water) rosea straight stem,
twelve to fifteen inches in height,
crowned at the top with a cluster of
dark crimson velvet flowers, about the
size and with the rich mealy bloom of
the polyanthus. It is called, here, the
•Alpine primrose,' but Iknowofneith
er cowslip or primrose that will com
pare With it. The odor is very peculi
ar, resembling that of Russian leather.
Here is a treasure for our florists.
While we took our lunch and rested
our bones, Mr. Byers and White dis
cussed the passage of the mountains.
Directly in front of us a depression in
the flr-clad ridge indicated the summit
of the Pass, on eitherside ol' whiph bald,
snowy peaks rose considerably above
the timber line. White had crossed
the range last week, with a drove of
twenty-two Government horses; but
lie had gone considerably to the north
ward of the Pass, in order to avoid the
snows. It was a question whether we
should re-open the old trail, or follow
his example and climb the frightful
looking steep on our right to a point
beyond the timber. Being a green
hand, I said nothing but felt relieved
when the Pass was selected, for the
snows had been melting very rapidly,
and I was convinced that we could fal
sify the predictions of our friends.
The horses were saddled, the mules
repacked, and wo set out upon our un
iT&rwrir w bM
the meadow; and even where it had
melted, the soil was elastic, treacherous
hog, that we did not venture to ride.
On all sides rills came rushing down,
uprooted trees barred the way, or pools
of black mud had collected. It was
impossible to follow the trail, although
we could trace it by tiie marks of the
shovels. Slowly, in single tile, stoop
ing every two minutes to lean upon our
horses' necks and gasp for breath, spat
tered with mud and wet with snow- I
water, we climbed, through the forests, j
taking heart with tiie knowledge that ■
this was our last hard pull. The trees j
rapidly grew thinner, the roaring rills
became noiseless threads of water, the :
snow-drifts over-lapped each other and i
must be waded, and then—the steep
suddenly flattened and a keen wind
swept over the summit of the Pass.
It is a sharp crest, with not ten yards
between the oppositedeclivities. I Tore
there was an open space covered with
bunch grass among the fields of snow.
We were just at the limit of timber, a
little more than 11,000 feet above the
level. No general panorama of the
range is visible, but there are inclosed
views to the east and west. —Behind us
a sweep of bleak, frosty summit, too
near, (apparently) too hard and sharp
ito be beautiful. Before us, far away
I over the deeps of endless dark green
i forest, a grand Alpine range,
Lifting there
A thousand shadow-penciled valleys
And snowy dells in a golden air."
i Still further, thirty or l'orty miles be
: hind it,arose twogreat snowy pyramids,
! evidently beyond the North Peak, and
not inferior to Mont Blanc. This view
was superior iu ail elementswf simplic
ity to anything I had ever seen since
| entering the mountains.
K lY?!o\i> PHOTOGRAPHS THE JAC-
OlilAS.
Henry J.Raymond, theeditorof the
New York Time*, who liu-s been forced
from his support of the President by
the clamors of the Radicals, but a few |
weeks ago published the following pen
pictureof the Radical wing of the Re
publican party. The fidelity of the >
nicture is so striking, that no one can
mistake the originals of the different!
portraits.
"And more powerful for mischief j
than all of these combined, were com- j
missioned officers whose official record
was bad. * * With no higher
views of patriotic duty while the great
conflict was going on, than personal
aggrandizement, they have no higher
conception of honor and right as polit
ical partisans now thai the the strife is
over.
Rut here is what Raymond says of
the Itadiculs:
"It has been the misfortune of the
Republican party that so many of its
I adherents have sought—as it were pur
-1 posely—to make it appear in the ehar
| acter of a sectional disunion organiza
| lion. A class of cam p followers, thrown
out of employment by the termination
jof hostilities—men who suffered neither
in purpose nor in property while the
war lasted— have made themselves es
pecially conspicuous as agents of dis
cord and sectional malice during the
past eighteen months. Some of them
were unnecessary but unscrupulous at
taches of Provost Marshals' offices; oth
i t*rs were speculators in cotton and vari
! ous descriptions of loose Southern
property; yet another set had a stock
of Northern philanthropy, in which
they dealt, wherever paying prices
were to be had; and, more powerful
for mischief than any or all these com
bined, were COMMISSIONED OFFICERS
WHOSE Ol'l'K 'I Ar, KF.COKD WAS HAD.
The accession of of such
men to any party could only be an in
jury, and to the extent to which they
might IK* able to mould its policy — A
| CALAMITY. With no higher views of
| patriotic duty While the great conflict
i was going oh, higher conception of
honor and of right as political parti
sans now tliat the strife is over. And
whatever error of judgement there
may bochargableagainst the President
or against Conservative Republicans
who have given his policy an indepen
dent support, there has been nothing
in the whole record of the Republican
party so fatal to its permanent influ
ence and jMjtver as its association with
the tribe of mischief-makers whose for
tunes were, broken when the armies of
the Confederacy surrendered to Urant.
Their baneful influence has not only
been felt hero in their native hauats,
where they only preach malice and
uneharitableness a f will, but it spreads
itself all over the country, and is felt,
to-dav, more than anywhere else, in
the subjugated States ; stirring up strife
between master and servant, and keep
ing alive the flames of discord between
sections and races."
JOKE OA' ROII.
Stephen C was a jovial soul, and
hesitated not to play a trick on anyone.
Among his acquaintances was a young
man and a young lady, both of whom
stammered very badly. They were
unacquainted with each other.
Bob F , the young man alluded
to, was quite sensitive, and to think
that any one was making fun of his
defect made him frequently fly into a
passion. It was Stephen's fortune to
meet them at a party, and he soon de
termined on a joke.
"Miss Sue," said lie, approaching his
lady friend, "may I have the pleasure
of introducing to you one of my ac
quaintances, a worthy young man?"
''Cer-cer-cer-cer-tainly, sir."
Away he started for Bob F .
"Bob, old fellow, here is a nice girl.
I want to introduce you. Come on."
"Does she taw-taw-talk?"
"Yes —like blazes."
So off they started and soon approach
ed the side of the lady. Stephen intro
duced them and immediately withdrew
to one side that he might see how they
would manage each other, when his
ears were greeted with the following
conversation :
"How are you enjoy-joy-joying your
'VUi-VVLUJiir. mqrm ?"
it is ra-ra-rather warm."
Bob's brow contracted; but he re
itrained his feelings and continued :
"1 pre-r-r-presume you are acquaint
ed with most of those pr-present."
" Ye-ye-yes, sir, with all, be-be-be
lieve," said she, smiling."
But that smile ruined her forever in
Bob's estimation, for, hastily rising, he
exclaimed,
"By th-th-thunder! ma-ma-dam, if
that is the wa-wa-way you make f-f-fun
of a f-f-fellow's infi-firmities, you may
I go to gr-grass."
Stephen laughed immoderately all
: the time, and was subsequently called
to account for the trick ; but his good
j nature drove away all bad feelings.
A WOMAN'S FIGHT WITH INDIANS.
—The following is from the Tehama
California, Observer: "L. Hessick, who
runs a pack train between Red Bluff
and May-fork of Trinity, gives the par
ticulars of a daring exploit of a lady.
Mrs. Sarah Douelson, formerly a resi
dent of Red Bluff, is living in a log
house on the trail, with her children
and her father. A few days ago her
father went out huntingstoek, and Mrs.
Donelson was looking after her poultry
a short distance from the house. Sud
denly live Indians made their appear
ance. Mrs. Donelson started for the
house, and was intercepted bv two In
| dians. Throwing them from her, a
j third eaughther by the shoulder. She
j knocked him down, and reaching the
i house in safety, barred the door. The
; Indians rented one or more rifles on the
window levelled at the woman, who
I approached them, took down her fath
i cr's rifle and returned the tire of the In
. dians through the aperture.-, or 'chinks'
jof the log house. On attempting to
cock her gun Mrs. Donelson found that
the thumb of her right hand had been
shot away by an Indian bullet, but us
ing her lefthandshe soon had the pleas
are of knowing that her would-be mur
derers had, retreated, whether with
i whole hides or not she could not tell.
Muscle, courage and self-possession won
i a victory—one against five, and that
| one a woman. We challenge the State
; to exhibit an instance in Indian tight
| ing wherein a woman lias acquitted
j herself more creditably."
AN absent minded professor, in going
out of the gateway of his college, ran
against a cow. In the confusion of the
moment, he raised his hat and exclaim
ed, " I beg your pardon nnulame." Soon
after he stumbled against a lady in the
street; in sudden recollection of his for
mer mishap, he called out, "Is that you
again, you brute?"
WHY is twice ten the same as twice
eleven ? Because twice ten is twenty
and twice eleven is twenty-two.
WHEN is literary work like smoke?
When it comes in volumes.
