OVER THE RIVER.
"Over the river," I'm gazing to-night,
Gazing while silently weeping,
Thinking of spirits now happy in light
Whose be dies are quietly sleeping,
And they secrn, as I think of their happy abode,
In the fair and the blissful forever,
To say "wc are waiting for thee in our home,"
On its borders, "just over the river."
"Just over the river," a father now dwells,
A father I lovingly cherish,
Whose name on my heart is so deeply engraved
That its memory never can perish.
And 1 often look upward in prayer to the throne
Of the great and bountiful giver,
And pray I may meet, that dear father again
In its mansion "just over the river."
"Over the liver," how many can look,
Fondly and wishfully sighing,
Thinking of moments now lost in the past,
Honing, and memory vicing :
Thinking in sadness of friends they have lost,
Gone to the blissful forever,
Sighing to meet them on yonder bright shore,
That rises just "over the river."
IMPERISHABLE.
The pure the bright the beautiful.
That stirred our hearts iu youth.
The impulse to a wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth ;
The longings after something lost,
The spirit's yearning cry :
The strivings after better hopes—
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need.
The kindly word in grief's dartt hour
That proves the friend indeed :
The plea of mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatened high :
The sorrow of a contrite heart—
These things shall never die.
The memory of a clasping band,
The pressure of a kiss,
And all the tritles, sweet or frail.
That make up love's first bliss,
If with a firm unchanging faith
And holy trust and high.
ThoSe hands have clasped those lips have met—
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as H fell .
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feci, hut never tetl ;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept—
These things will never die
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do ;
Lose not a chance to waken love ;
Be firm and just and true.
So shall a light that cannot "fade
Beam on thee from on high,
\ffil angel voices say to thee.
These things shall never die.

lie Preaches from the Parable of "The
Proiligal Son"—An Interrupiion.
CoNFEDERIT X ROADS, (uvt/l >
is in the Stait uv Kentucky) July 6, '">6. )
I preached last Sabbath, or rather tried
to, from the parable uv the Prodigal Son.
We had a splendid congrogashun. I notice
a revival uv the work in this part, uv the
Democratic vineyard wich reely cheers me.
The demons trash nn our friends made in
Memphis, the canin uv Grriunel by Rosso,
and the call for a convenshun in Philadel
phia, all, all hev conspired to comfort the
souls uv the Dimocrisy and encourage me to
renued effort. It is bringing forth fruit.
Only one day last week five Northern men
were sent whirlin out of this section—they
dusted in the night to escape hangiu, leavin
their goods as a prey lor the righteous rix
ncgros hev been killed and one Burow offi
cer shot. Trooly there is everything to
encourage us.
The house wuz full. The weather wuz
hot. and the pleasant incense uv mingled
whiskey, tobacco and snuff wich ariz wuz
grateful to me. The sun shone in on Dee
kin Pogrom's face ez he gently slept, and
when the sun hits him square I kin alluz
tell where he sets, cveucf it is dark. lie
drinks apple-jack instead uv corn whiskey,
and chaws fine cut tobacker uv plug
and consekently when in the pulpit I kin
distinguish the pecoolar aroma uv nisbreath
from those around him.
"My brethren," sed I, sich uv yoo ez
hev Bibles in your houses, kin get somebody
to read to yoo the parable to wich I shall
call yoor attention. A man wunst upon a
time bed sons, ez meny men hez since, and
oue uv em wuz a tough one. lie left his
home and went into iar countries, making
the old man shel out his share uv the es
tate, and be high, jist, my brethren, ezyoor
boys do or did when they went too Noo
Orleans, in the days when you bed a nieger
or two wich yoo cood sell to supply them
with money. He played draw poker and
faro, he drauk fancy drinks and boarded at
big hotels, and be followed after strange
women, wich wood bust a man quicker nor
any one small sin the devil hez vet invented,
ez yoor passions kin testify. I v course his
pile giv out, and he got down, my friends,
did tnis ingenious youth, to rags and wretch
edness, and ended in beiu an overseer uv
kmc. What did he do ? lie ariz and went
to his father, and the old man saw him afar
off and went out to meet him, and fell on bis
neck, and give him an order for a soot uv
clothes, and a pair uv boots, and put a ring
onto his finger, and made a feast, killiri for
the purpose the fatted calf wich he had sa
ved for another occasion.
My friends you kin find in the skripter
suthin applicable to every occasion, and this
parable fits the present time like a ready
made coat. The South is the prodigal son.
We went out from our father's house on an
cxpidition wich hczent proved altogether a
success. We spent our share uv the estate,
and a little more. We run through with our
means, aud bcv cum down to rags, and dirt
and filth, and hunger. We an', and hcv lin
some time, a chawin husks. We run out
after thorn twin harlots, Slavery and State
Rights, aud the've cleaned us out. Our
pockets arc cinnty. No more does the
pleasant half dollers jingle in sweet unison
agin its fellers ! Our wallets is barren Uv
postal currency, and the gro.-ery keepers
mourn and refuse to be comforted becoz we
we are not. We hev got to the husk stage
uv our woe, and wood be tcudin hogs et the
armies wich past through these countries
hed left us eny. We bev cum back. In
A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS.
rags and dirt we have wended our wav to
Washington, and ask to be taken back. Now
why don't our father, the Government, ful
fil the skripter ? Why don't it 'see us afar
off, aud run to meet us? Why don't it put
onto us the purple robe ? W hei e's the ring
for our finder, and the shoes for our feet ?
and where & the fatted calf he ought to kill?
My brethren, them Abolishnists is worse
than iufiddles—while they preach the gospel
they won't practice it. For my part, —1"
At this point a sargent belongin to that
infernal Burow, who wuz in the awdience
with enough uv soldiers to make opposin
him unpleasant, scd he hed been a sort of
exhortcr in his day, and desired to say a
word in explanation uv that parable, ez
applicable to the present time, and. sez he,
"ef lam interrupted, remember I belong
to the church military, wich is, just now
the church triumphant."—And, cochin his
musket he proceeded very much uninter
rupted.
' The Prodigal Son, "' sed lie,-' wuz re
ceived by the old man with considerable
doins, but my worthy friends he went out
decently. lie didn't ez soon ez he with
drawed from the house, turn around and
make war unto the old gentleman—he
didn't burn his houses and barns, tearup
his garden, burn his fences and knock down
the balance of the children. Not any. He
went away peaceably, a misguided, good-for
nothing. Secondly he come back uv his
owuakkord. The old man didn't go after
him and fight for four years at a cost uv
haff his substance to subdue him and bring
him back, but when he run through his
pile and squandered his share of the estate
and got hungry, he came back like a whip
ped dog.
My friends, let m draw a small parallel
between these cases.
The Prodigal Son went out —o did the
South—thus furly the eases are alike.
The Prodigal didu't steal nothin. The
Confederacy took everything it cood lay its
hands on.
The Prodigal spent only what wuz his to
spend. The Oonfedercy spent not only al 1
it stole, but all it could borrcr, when it
knowed its, promises to pay wuzent wurth
the mizrabic paper they wuz printed onto.
The Prodigal, when ho did come back,
come ez penitent ezthe conshusness that he
had made a fool of hrsself could make him.
The Confederacy wuz whipped back, but it
still swears holy oaths that it wuz right all
the time.
The Prodigal dido t demand veal pot-pie
and purple robes and sich, hut begged to be
a servant unto the more sensible brethren
wich stayed. The South comes back dc
mandm offis, uv wich the fatted call and
rings is typical, and considerably more share
in the Government than it hed it
kicked over the traces, and went out like
the lost tribes of Tsrael.
Spozen the Bible Prodigal had stopped
his parient and remarked to him thus : "I
am wiliin to come back on conditions.- Vou
uiast pay my debts —you must give 111 c an
ekal share uv the farm with the other hoys
—you must treat mo in all respects just ez
il I hadn't gone out, and —this is essential
—you must take with me all the sharpers
who ruined me, all the gamblers and thieves
with whom 1 fell in while I wuz away, and
make them head men on the place, and
above all, I hev with me the two harlot ;
wich wuz the prime cause uv my ruin, and
they must hev 11 of the best rooms in the
house, and must !><•. treated ez your daugh
ters. To avoid di.-plcadu he others 1 11
dress cm in different clothes, but here they
rnu-t stay —Otherwise I'll go out again.
Probably the old gentleman wood hev bc
c nil indignant, and wood hev remarked to
him logo and never let him &ee his auda
cious face agin, or rather, he would hev
strangled the harlots, scattered the black
legs, and chocked the young sprout into
submission. Them s me. lam anxious to
kill that fatted calf, and 1 am als<> anxious
to put on your robes and shoes. But, alas!
the calf suffered from want uv attention so
long doorin the late misunderstandins that
he's too poor. —the robes was all cut up in
to bloo kotes for the sojers wc sent out to
fetch yoo in—the shoes they wore out, and
the ling#—Jefferson Davis wore the only
style we hev. \\ lien yoo- c nic hack in
good shape yoolfind us rca.,., r-.-o meat yoo,
but till then chaw husks.
Lookin around, this armed tyrant remark
ed that there would be no more preachin
that day, and sadly the congregation disper
sed.
I'm heart sick. At every turn 1 make
that Burow stares mc in the face and coun
teracts my best endeavors, it is curious,
though what different sermons kin be
preach id from the same 'ext. and it is all
curious how quiet our folks listen to a Ab
lishnist who hcz muskets to hack him.

IS REBELLION CRUSHED.
The radical and rebellions press of the
South, representing (he elements of the
same character among the politicians, prows
more and more rampant, in proportion to
the aid and comfort that is received by them
from other quarters. The following from
the Richmond Enquirer is about a fair sam
ple of the spirit and utterances ofthat paper
and its coadjutors. We give its own italics:
"The revolutionary violence of the radi- \
cals will be resisted to Mood, if need be; and i
to that extremity, the struggle seems likely
to proceed, unless one party or the other
shall iriumph at the polls not simply by a j
majority but. by an ocertrhttminf/ majority.
No equivocal or even result, no faiutivictory
will avail to maintain the peace; only such a
triumph as shall cover all cavils, and over
whelm the hopes of tly defeated,"
It strike-us thai tlii.- was their .-iylo of
speech before the election of Mr. Lincoln in
1800. Something of the same strain of
electioneering was adopted, when it was said
a hundred times over, that the election of
Mr. Lincoln would be a sufficient cause for
breaking up the Union, or for attempting it
by force of arms.
It semis, too. that they have raised the
terms on which peace is to be maintained",
by making a new and extraordinary rule for
the determining of elections. Majorities
will not answer their modest purposes, but
overwhelming majorities are demanded.
Who is to be the judge whether majorities
are overwhelming or not. But the new
rule of elections proposed by these nen, ela
ted and intoxicated with their new born
iiopes must not be overwhelming, but must
"cover ail cavils" of the defeated.
This is the sort of temper, and those the
views that went into the Philadelphia
Convention from the States lately-in rebell
ion. It is easy to see what kind of recon
struction policy this spirit will dictate, and
it is equally plain what would be the effects
of such a policy on the peace, liberty and
prosperity of the country. Hie babbling
madness of the Enquirer an 1 its class lot out
! terrible secrets of the brewing policy.
"Wake up here and pay your lodgings,

BEDFORD. Pa., FRIDAY, AUGUST <44, 1866.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
The following is an cxtiuct from Presi
dent Johnson's last veto (of the Freedmen's
Bureau bill), showing what he says to Con
gress for political effect:
"The ordinary course of judicial proceed
ings is no inturrupted. The courts,
both state and Federal, are now in full com
plete and successful operation and through
them every person, regardless of race or
color, is entitled to snd can be hoard."
The following is the President's latest
military order issued by Gen. Grant, show
ing what the President doe*, not for political
effect: —
"Department, District, and Post Com
manders in States htely in rebellion, are
hereby directed to arrest all persons who
have been or may hereafter be charged with
commission of crimes and offences against
citizens, and inhabitants of the United
States irrespective of color, in cases where
the civil authorities have failed, neglected,or
been unable to arrest and bring such parties
to trial and to detain them in military con
finement until such time as a proper judicial
tribunal may be ready and willing to try
them. A strict and prompt enforcement of
this order will be approved."
As John-Minor B otts says, we can all he
Johnson men iu tins matter. Those of us
who do not agree vitli what he says are in
favor of what he dots and trice versa. It's a
poor stick that can't be suited with either
of these two extracts. Indeed, where there
is so good an opportunity to make a choice,
nobody but a tew discontented fellows are
dissatisfied, and these uneasy chaps propose
to get together by themselves, at Philadel
phia, and split the difference between his do
and his say.—Detroit Dost.
THE New York Evening Post, a paper
lately inclined toward Johnsonism, thus con
victs oi inconsistency the wretched man at
tlic head of affairs at Washington :
In the first place, according to Mr. John
son's theory. Louisiana is a State of the
Union ; <chy then, does he interfere with the
internal affairs of Louisiana ? A conven
tion was to be held in Louisiana ; this con
vention was either a legitimate or an illegiti
mate body. In the first instance it had a
right to sit: in the second, it was an illegal
body, whose acts would be void and of no
force, and whose members would be subject
to arrest, if it all, under the State laws by
the State officers of justice. A- they num
bered only 26, their arrest, whenever their
acts made them liable, could not have been
difficult by the great State of Louisiana.
We do not see on what plea the President
had a right to interfere, or what business he
had to issue any order in the matter.
Next, wc find this order addressed not to
the Governor of the State, but to Attorney
General. Why is this? Does the President
supercede the Governor.
But, after all, it is not the Governor, nor
the Attorney General, nor any State officer,
but a local city officer, the Mayor of New
Orleans—as it happens, a flagrant and defi
ant Rebel, who seems to think that the
Presidential oardon in his pocket not only
condones his crime, but justifies it—it is this
person who takes the matter in hand of ar
resting the convention. Under his skillful
management a considerable percentage of
the members were assassinated boforc they
were arrested.
We do not see how all this can be explain
ed ; we trtist the President, by publishing
the whole correspondence, of which we have
now only his order, will be able not only to
justify the manner of his interference, but
the act of interference itself. For the pres
ent we can only say that his order appears to
have had as unfortunate an effect as his 22d
of February speech; instead of comforting
and protecting the law abiding and loyal cit
izens, it seems to have encouraged a bloody
minded and vindictive mob oi' men lately
engaged in rebellion; instead of "suppress
ing all illegal or unlawful assemblies," in
the words of the order, the effect seems to
have been to give full rein to a most lawless
and law-defying mob, and to secure complete
immunity from punishment to the rioters.
Who made the President the judge of the
legality of a State Convention ? W hen did
he hear evidence upon the matter? Where
does he get his authority for interfering ?
By the Constitution, "the United States
shall protect each State against invasion,
and on application of the Legislature, or of
the Executive {when the Legislature cannot
he convened), against domestic violence.'
Where was the "invasion?" where the "do
mestic violence ?" where the application of
the Legislature, or of the Executive?
Where was even the danger to the public
peace ? A convention numbering 26 men
met in a hall in New Orleans. Was it fear
ed by the murderous mob or by Mayor Mon
roe that these 26 would rise and put the
whole order of Thugs to the sword ?
Suppose the convention was illegal: sup
pose it had passed an ordinance, no matter
to what intent —what then ? Its orders
could have had no effect. If there had been
a doubt upon their legality, they ought to
have been taken before the State Courts,
whose province itisto decide such questions.
If civil government is restored in Louisiana,
according to the Peace Proclamation, if Lou
isiana is a State, with a eoustitutiou, laws,
officers, courts and judges, then all such
matters must be settled and decided in the
. State, by I he Stateofficers, and by the courts,
not by a mob.
THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
There goes a virtuous and honest man.
Who oauo; ? looLc at klai, ui cities
a fig hoM he looks or (Losses.
Here passes a man of wealth. The old
ladies run to the window. "Who? —where
—how does he dress?" He is a great ob
ject of attraction. "How in the world did
lie make so much ?" "He doesn't lock as
if he was worth a half-penny."
This is the way of the world. Everybody
gazes with admiration upon tlio rich, while
: they turn away from virtuous poverty. Let
| a man tr ake ten thousand dollars, amUie is
I a gentleman, every inch of him. Every -
i body has a kind word and a smile for him.
Be poor and honest and no one knows
you. Men and women have heard of such
I a name as yours, you may live at their el
i bow. but tney are not certain about it.
! Possess a fortune and live at. tin- nivlepost,
! and your neighbors and friends will line the
i heart of he city. All would know where
you live, and point a stranger to the very
i door.
We repeat it —such is the world. Golden
. vice is (guessed, while humble virtue is
unobserved.
Will tho time never, never come when men
shall be honored for their virtue' and des
pised for their vices, rather than he caressed
for their riches and condemned for their
provcrty? Everybody, in words, censures
the idea of honoring the rich and yet such
are the regulations of society that everybody
does humble his manners and feelings in the
presence of the "upper ten thousand.'' As
long as the ladies will associate with the
voluptuous rich, and shun the virtuous poor
so long will vice he considered no disgrace,
and wealth will pay for tho sacrifice of vir
tue.
THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
As the Democratic organs throughout the
country are laboring to create the impression
that some vast work of mischief was wrought
by Congress at its late session, we wish to
fort on record in brief what it really did,
This Republican Congress reduced tho
domestic taxes to the extent of seventy five
millions of dollars per annum.
It provided for the gradual reduction of
the great volume of paper currency, at a
certain fixed rate, so that financiers and
business men might know how to calculate
the future and he reliev ed of all danger of a
commercial crash, on account of the contr ac
tion of the currency.
It provided for the protection of the reve
nue from foreign imports, by more stringent
enactments to guard against systematic
undervaluation, through which the Treasury
ha ■ been defrauded of countless millions of
dollars.
Tt secured equality before the law to all
citizens of the United States, of every race
and color, under the protection of the na
tional government and made every native
born adult a national eitizcD.
It furnished ample protection for the
freedmen against their late masters and their
associates in theenjoymentofall their rights.
It secured a homestead to ail settlers on
the public lands in the gulfSiates under the
national laws and so provided for the poor
whites and blacks of the south a future of
their own better than any they could have
otherwise hoped for.
It reduced the number of Supreme Court
judges by gradual process.
It secured the election of United States

IIOW THE MONEYS ARE RAISED.
During the political campaign last year,
President Johnson bee am sensitively con
scientious. He had such scruples again i
asses-Jog office holders ft r partisan pur; 0-
ses, that he caused orders to be issued for
bidding the practice. He did not do this
on the comparatively low ground that the
incumbents needed all their salaries, but on
the high ground of vindicating the purity of
elections. Some innocent people, uc killed
in penetrating the glos-es by which base
purposes are covered up, gave hi at credit
for marvellous uprightness. Old stagers
shook their heads, affirming the oriW was
simply evidence of hostility t > the Repub
lican party, and that within a few month
he would throw off all dLgui.-o and act his
part boldly.
Of late many in .I:vidua]* have curiously
inquired where all tl moneys camo from,
which the Administration and its support
ers have used in starting newspapers, cir
culating documents, supporting politic d • eg
gars, and buying up ad venturers. These
inquiries are pertinent, and shall ho answer
ed.
1. The President ha- hanged his mind
about assessing office h >ldo: He is not as
conscientious a.- he was. He is not as hypo
critical. He makes them pay up to upport
"My Policy" and make war on the Republi
cans.
2. He is levying a tax for political pur
poses on all persons owning estates of the
value of $5b),000 and upw. ids, to whom he
grant* pardon , We do not speak unad
visedly. We have the very ! • r authority
for saying that $ 12b is expected from every
man to whom a pardon is granted; and have
reasons for bclieveing the sums so raised are
devoted to the purpose- of the Johnson or
ganization.
Now, it so happens that a large propor
tion of the men pardoned so far were at bot
tom from the start. Union men. When the
Confederacy got ou its legs, they went along
to save their fortunes. As events turned
out they forfeited them to the old govern
ment. The President hands them baek
their properties, with hi - pardon, hut asses
ses them $125 each to help run his party
machine, and help put the rebels back into

BEWARE OK POISONED PAPER. —The
plavuc of flies is hard to endure, yet people
should be careful lest, in adopting aomedics
for the evil, they fall into more fatal
mistake of killing their little children. There
is a kiifd of paper sold throughout the city
at present which seems to be very efficacious
in destroying the flies, hut which isextremr
!y dangerous, being composed of material
poisonous to human beings. Children have
a habit of chewing everything they can lay
their hands on, and if this fiy-calhcr finds
its way into a child's mouth, the effect is as
bad as cholera. Yesterday a little girl nam
ed Mailer, living in Larrabec street, was
discovered with a piece of fly-paper in her
mouth, and in a fow minutes she was seized
with a severe illness, from which it was
feared she would never recover. A Physi
cian was promptly summoned, and by the
aid of powerful restoratives, the little one
was rescued from her danger. Families
should take earc not to leave the poisonous
material within the reach of their little ones.

ADVANTAGES OK ADVERTISING. —The
Bellows Falls Times, says a thrifty farmer
called into the editor's sanctum, the other
day, and wanted to know who was the most
liberal advertiser—who advertised the most,
lie had some hading to do, and the most
liberal advertiser was going to have the
largest share' of his custom People will
generally trade where they can do so to the
best advantage, regarding both price and
quality—but the fact that one advertises in
the newspapers largely indicates a disposi
tion to he liberal with the community gener
ally. He who do'-en't tare much to make
the bysiuess acquaintance of the people,
never advertises in his county papers. "It
people wish to trade," they argue, _ "let
theur come to us ; we are not going to invite
them through the newspapers." In making
our rounds we inquire after business pros
pects generally, and invariably find those
who do not advertise complaining of onli
ne while those who let the people know
they have goods and want to sell them, are
nearly always satisfied with the patronage
they receive. The moral is plain. Bet our
business men try it 011.

THE JEWS.
The Baltimore American, in reviewing a
new work, called The Student's Scripture
History of the Old Testament," thus refers
to the Jews as a people:
"A more wonderful nation tkm the Jews
lias never walked on the earth. Their history
has been a constantly unfoldiog miracle.
Curiously enough, for more than twenty
centuries they have been a people without a
country. They have been by turns, slave
and ruler, prophet, priest and king, outcast
often but beggar never, in every quarter of
the globe but this. Question the Jew of his
descent, and he would declare that the best
blood of all the Howards would run muddy
in bis veins, and laugh to scorn the boastful
claimant of Norman ancestry. His fathers
created thrones and sat upon fc.hetn more
than a thousand years before England ceased

Ins oen all the kingdom's ofthe earth van
ish away like the shifting scenery of the
stage, while he aloue has borne a charmed
life. And still greater events await this
mysterious people. Christ declared that
"the Jews shall be led away captive into all
nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden
down by the Gentiles until the time of the
Gentiles be fulfilled."
fr J'- The Reading Dispatch says: A gen
tleman who lives in the vicinity of Mr. Cly
mer's residence up town, relates the follow
ing incident which, although a private affair,
goes far to show the love he entertained for
the soldier during the war: In 18C1 while
the militia was lying at Hawk's Bold, beyond
his residence, it happened one day that two
tidier - entered the yaid of Senator Clymer's
house for the purpose of procuring water,
when that honorable immediately gave them
orders to leave his premises before they bad
received the desired element to queueh their
burning thirst. When we remember all the
rebuffs we have seen and heard given to sol
dier" in the sunny South our mind fails to
bit upon one which would seem to bear the
same bitter malice towards the soldiers of
the Government, the men who perilied their
lives in their country's service, that such
men as Clymer and his Copperhead kin
might stay at home and revel in the sweetest
and mo t bountiful luxuries. Soldiers, can
you vote for such a man a, this? We feel
authorized to say no. never.
MAN'S DI I TO WOMAN. —Let him learn
to be grateful to women for this undoubted
achievement of her sex that it is she —she far
n. > e he, and she too often in despite of him
—who has kept mercy and truth from being
utterly overborne by those greedy monsters,
money and war. Let him be grateful for this
that almost, every great soul that has led for
ward or lifted up the race has been furnished
for each nobler deed, and inspired with each
patriotic and holy aspiration, by the retiring
fortitude of some Spartan ; some Christian
mother. Moses the deliverer of hisVeople
drawn out of the Nile by the King's daugh
ter, some one has hinted, is only a symbol of
the way that women's better instincts always
outwit the tyrannical diplomacy of man. Let
him cheerfully remember, that though the
incwy sex achieves enterprise on public tbe
r.t es, it is the nerve and sensibility of the
■ h v that arm the mind and inflame the
soul in secret. Everywhere a man executes
the performance, but woman trains the
man.
The London Spectator says that a
firm in Manchester bound themselves by a
trust deed to divide their profits over fifteen
per eent. on the capital invested among
their workmen. The first result was a de
crease in waste, the men Dot seeing why
they -hou'd waste their own property any
more than any other master's; and waste is,
perhaps, as bad debts, the greatest source
of manufacturing loss. The next was an
immense advance in the pace of the work
done, the men putting their hearts into it as
hired men will no_t_ do. and scolding each
other for neglect as if each man was overseer.
The last was a great increase of orders, eve
ry man being as anxious to obtain work, or.
as he himself expressed it, to "carry some
.'un 10 bonus," as if he had been the sole
master. The result was at first dividend at
the rate of fifteen per cent, per annum, and
four or five per eent over for divisions among
the men.
PfAIS TlU'Tff. Somoono who ooomi! !•
understand the subject, describes the
tion of "young gentlemen and ladios," of
the would-be fashionable sort, which tends
only to weakness and fashionable decay, as
follows: "A young gentleman—a smooth
faced stripling—with little breeding and le.-s
sense ripens fast, and believes himself a ni< e
young man. He chews and smokes tobacco,
swears genteely, coaxes embryo imperials
with bear's grease, twijjs a rattan, spends
his father's money, rides fast horses —on
horseback and in sulkeys— double and single
—drinks Catawba, curses the Maine law and
flirts with young ladies, hundreds of which
arc just like himself, though of a different
gender ; and this is the most fashionable
education of the day. The fathers and
mothers of these fools were once poor.
Their children go through with inexhausti

WHO WAS JENNY.
Mr. Editor In that rare collection of
good things, the first volume of Sargeant's
"Gem Series," entitled "The Emerald,"
I find the following poem by Leigh Hunt :
Jenny kissed tne when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in ;
Time, you thief! who lore to get
Sweets into your list, put that in !
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad :
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old ; bat add
Jenny kissed me !
I quote the above lines because since death
has removed the Jenny referred to, it will be
no breach of'good manners to sav that she was
Jane Welsh Carlyle, wife of Thomas Car
lyle, the celebrated author. The occasion
on which this celebrated kiss was given was

And getting there an hour before he started.'
