It speak* for itself and we a.--k all his old companions in arms, during the late war to road it. NEW DOUGLAS TAYLOR, Chairman, on the casket that is being fitted for thy reception. While thou art striving hard to distinguish thyself among thy fellows, the marble works is fitting the slab that shall mark thy gra\ e. While you are queryingas to the wherewithal you shall be clothed, the materials for your burial suit are upon the tradesman's shelf. You add field to field, and anxiously reach out for more; but go to t lie graveyard and stake out the lot to which death will soon assign you. "Then whose shall those things be which thou hast pro vided ?" EARLY RISING.— A young farmer found that he was getting reduced in circumstances. >fe went to a friend to ask iiis advice. This friend, with a ve ry grave facesaid, "1 know of a charm that will cure that; take this little cup, drink from it every morning of the water you must get at such a spring. But remember you mu-d draw it your self at five o'clock, or the charm will be broken." Next morning the farmer walked a eross his fields, for the spring was at the further tyid of his estate, and spy ing a neighbor's cows which had bro ken through the fence, and were feed ing on his pasture, he turned them out and mended the fence. The hands were not yet at work; when they came loiter ing after their proper time, they were startled at seeing their 'master' so early. "Oli!" said he. "I see how this is; it comes of my not getting up in time." This early rising soon became a plea sant habit; his walk and cup of water gave him an appetite for breakfast, and the people were like himself, early tit work. He soon acknowledged that the advice his friend had given wasa> good as it was simple. THE NEW POSTAGE ST AM US. —The Postmaster General has awarded the contract for the supply of stamps to the department for the ensuing four years to the National Bank Note Company of New York. The new stamps will be somewhat smaller than those in use at present, but they are of a superior style and finish, with a novelty in de sign. The two cent stamp contains an engraving of a post boy on horseback in full speed. The three cent has a locomotive under full head of steam, the great carriers of our domestic ser vice. The five cent stamp contains a head of Washington. The ten cent, the finest of all in design and execu tion, has a miniature engraving of the Declaration of Independence, executed with such delicacy and precision that the picture suffers nothing under a magnifying glass. The twelve cent stamp has an ocean steamship, and the thirty cent has a finely executed engraving of the surrender of Bur govne. When it is considered that over a million stamps are issued daily the importance of this contract is at once evident. FOLIAGE. —The delicate beauty of the spring foliage of trees has disap peared ; everything geeen has deepened its color and the leaves have expanded to their full size. Instead of an ex quisite delicacy in size anil color, the foliage is rich, heavy and luxuriant. This is the season of nature's most voluptuous growth. There are three particular periods in the life and death of foliage each year, in which the leaves are peculiarly beautiful. The beau ty of each period is entirely distinct from that of either of the others, 's he first has passed this year--the germ period ; the second we have also en joyed ; the third comes with the au tumn, the many tinted season. Be tween each period thetimeof transition reminds us of past beauty or suggests that which is coming. A Washington special of October 12ht has the following: General Reynolds' order against citizens voting for Presi dent in Texas has been received here and is objected to by Mr. Johnson, who to-day issued a proclamation calling the attention of the citizens of Texas to their rights under the Constitution, and also announcing that the recon struction acts of Congress contain 110 specific ciause denying the right of cit izens of any State to vote fur President at a general election. This, of course, is a well defined conflict of authority in which the President will come out the victor, as General Reynolds will no doubt withdraw the order, unless Gen eral Grant insists that it is a legal and proper one, which in his present posi tion he is not likely to do. It is proba ble, thererefore, that till of these States will vote for President and Vice Presi dent in November. ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN. —Let the business of every one alone, and at tend to your own. Don't buy what you don't want. Use every hour to an advantage, and study to make a liesure hour useful. Think twice be fore you spend a dollar; remember you will have another to make for it.— Look over your books regularly, and if you find an error trace it out. — Should a stroke of misfortune come up on you in your business, retrench, work harder, but never fly the track. Confront difficulties with unflinching perseverance, and they will fly at last; then you will be honored; but shrink, and you will be despised. A New Orleans paper says that the proprietor cf an extensive trunk estab lishment denounces the course of the Democratic papers in the city, though an unmitigated Democrat himself. — lie has a large variety of carpet bags on hand, and has been unable to sell a solitary one for many weeks, though offered at the lowest price of the manu facturer. Many traveling men will rather shoulder a trunk, than carry an easy, portable concern that conveys so much political significance. MONEY. —Men work for it, beg for it, steal for it, starve for it, and all the while, from the cradlb to the grave, nature and God are thundering in our ears the solemn question :—"What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul ?" The madness for money is the strong est and lowest of passions; it is the in satiate Moloch of the human heart, before whose remorseless altar all tiie finer attributes of humanity are sacri ficed. It makes merchandise of all that is sacred in the human affections, and even traffics in the awful solemnities of the eternal. Chinese hemp is successfully grown in Kentucky. The longest stalks measure over sixteen feet. VOL 64.—WHOLE No. 5,465. JOHN Qnxrv ADAMS, of Massachu- setts, has been making a tour through the South, and has delivered sjweehes at several points. At (Jreensboro', N. G\, he remarked that he had learned more of the Southern people, and their feelings and sentiments, during the last few days than heeould have learned in Massachusetts in a lifetime. lie was astonished at the condition of the Southern people, and their wasted and neglected fields. I f the North could see it as lie had done, all our trials would he at an end. He was pleased to know that amicable relations exist ed between the whites and blacks, and that no animosity existed among the whites. lie said he felt justified in branding as a falsehood that the Demo era tie party wanted to re-establish slavery in the South ; and hecxpressed the strong conviction that the consti tutional party, headed by Seymour and lllair, would triumph. If so intel ligent a citizen as Mr. Adams has been compelled to confess that he had no proper conception of the condition and feelings of the South till he went there, it is not to be wondered at that .so many of the Northern people are mis led. MK. SPEAKER COI.FAX told his hear ers when he entered the campaign in Indiana last Thursday, that "self-re spect and propriety forbid my entering the political arena to anaylise, discuss and criticise the principles and policy of those arrayed against us. In regard to the principles, policy, platform, and letters of the Democratic candidates and party, my lips are sealed." What he does enter the campaign for, would have remained forever a mystery, had it not of been for the sentence which follows.—"One subject there is upon which I can always speak, and that is the glorious record made by this noble, patriotie Republican party." Taking this for a text he got-s on with a care fully prepared review of the past ten years, proving to his own satisfaction that every good and perfect thing had been accomplished by Radicalism and that the nation itself was now a monu ment of its "glorious work." Colfax is a second Nero. negro riot at Opelousas, Louisiana resulted from the caning of a white Radical editor. The negroes rallied to the support of their champion, armed. Several bodies of negroes were met and dispersed by the efforts of sensible, moderate men, both negroes and white. One body, however, of 2-j or ilO, led by a negro who called himself captain, re fused to disperse when ordered, and a fight ensued. This Is the statement of Lieut. Lee, of the Freedmen's Bureau, who was sent by major Hatchings to investigate tiie affair. Lieut. Lee re ports that he could learn of but two whites killed and fifteen or twenty wounded, but expresses the opinion that the number of casual i ties will ex ceed these, as the negroes in some in stances, resisted the disarming, and in some instances had to be overpowered. Do THE vhite men of the country feel able to support the negio popula tion of the South ? Suppose they are ignorant—can't read, and know noth ing of the common rudiments of edu cation—are the people of the North able and willing to expend upon these negroes from forty to fifty millions per annum in supporting and educating them? We don't believe they will submit to it—especially when it is re membered that the Government has never so supported while men, and does not now. Are negroes peculiar pets, or does this adorainable nuisance open an easy way to public plunder? Two Radical members of the South Carolina Legislature—a negro and a "carpet-bagger"—had an angry alter cation. Said the "carpet-bagger:" "You infernal black rascal, you had better go back to Burns' and black white people's boots for a living."— The negro re-toiled: "An'you white livered scoundrel, you better go back to Sing Sing, and sarve out your full 'prenticeship at stone euttin'." Speci men bricks, these, of Southern Radi cal legislators. TII E IX VISIBLE Ca X DIDATE.— G ran I is kept completely out of the sight of the American people. Ile was switched off to Galena after his western trip, and has been kept closely confined to the house ever since. It is said he is not even permitted to go out into the streets of Galena, except, when Wash burne's committee certify that it is en tirely safe. A dumb candidate for the Presidency is bad enough, but an in visible one is something new to the American people. THE King of Denmark, last week, in his opening speech before his Coun cil, stated that the sale of St. Thomas and other Islands in the West Indies to the United States had been postpon ed for another year. It will be re membered that our Senate adjourned in July last without acting upon the treaty. Money enough has been raised by taxation since the close of the war to pay more than half of the national debt or a sum equal to $2,000 for every one of the negroes made voters in all the Southern States.— I "Let us have peace." Among the gifts to a newly married pair was a broom seut to the lady, accompanied with the following senti ment : This trifling gift accept from me. Its use I would commend— In sunshine use the brushy part, In storms the other end. The meanest thing out—counterfeit ing nickel cents which is practiced up on an extensive scale in St. Louis. It is said that there are 10,000 peo ple in London who earn their liveli hood by literary work.
