XEWSPICKB LAWS.— We would call the special
attention of Post Masters and subscribers to the
fsvtrißEU to the following synopsis of the News
paper !*wf :
1. A Po*tm aster is require-1 to give notice 65
•effrr, {returning a paper does not answer tbe law)
when a subscriber does not take his paper ont of
the office, and state the reasons for its not being
taken: and a negleet to do so makes the Postmas
ter rep*on*ible to the publishers for the payment.
2, Any person who takes a paper from the Post
office, whether directed to4iis name or another, or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay.
S. If a person ordeTS his paper dipcontinued, he
must pay all arrearages, or the publisher may
continue to s?nd it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount, v&et&tr it be tak en from
the ojfict or nof. There can be no legal discontiu

4. If the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at a certain time, and the publisher eon
tiaucs to send, the subscriber i? bound to pay for
it, if he take it out of the Poet Offict. The law
proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay
for what.he uses.

newspapers and ftriis&ah from the Poet office,
or removing aou Laving them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional fraud.

To gain their independence,

And when '"Old Abe,'* the President,

He surely should cha-tise them.
What did Horatio Seymour ?
And when at length the war began.
And patriots feared arid trembled,

That ic that hour dissembled ?
Was it Horatio Seymour?
And when New Y ork was hideous made,
By mob with fire and bludgeon.
W ho was it then his trust betrayed.
And showed himself a gudgeon ?

(W ich is in the State uv Kentucky S< ptem
ber I>, D v For fear that colored state
ments of the late onhappy affair wich oc
curred at this place may be sent Noith to
the prejoodis uv the Democracy, I hereby
make a calm and truthful statement uv it.
I will prefix iny account by statin that the
citizens uv the Corners bare alius desired
to live on amicable terms with the colored
men. feelin that their interests are more or
less identikle. To show how completely we
hev conkered our prejoodisses and bow
much we desire peace. I will state that for
a month ther hev bin only two niggers hung,
and them under circumstances uv grate prov
ocation. One of em made a face at Issa
ker Gavitt, and totfcer refoostd to give Ker
nel Punt credit for a lead of watermelons,
claimin that the Kernel aheady nwed hitu,
and that there wuz no law for a nigger to
collect debts uv white men. Uv coorse we
can't stand insleDce from em.
j The late onpleasanlnis originated in this
j wise. The llad:kics uv this county Led
given out that they intended to held a po
litikle meetin at this place on the 20th inst.
I knew that ef they did it, blood would flow,
: for I knowd the temper and feeling uv our
pcacable citizens. To avoid bloodshed, I
I sent word to em not to come—not to hold
the meetin—that ef they did, I cood not be
held responsible, . ther LI od wood be on
i ther own heads. Partikerly I warned cm
not to come armed, for our citizens wout
stand that anyhow. We kin never permit
j men who differ from us to carry arms, cz in
ease we hev dispoots with em, they mite be
i dangerous.
My well meant endeavors wuz frootlis,
and Issaker Gavitt thot he'd try. On ihe
: uiornin uv the day, 1.-saker rode out to find
ef they were bound to come in, aho wheth
er thev wus armed. He returned rcportin
uv em comin, and every man uv em armed
to the teeth. At 10 A. M., the precession
j entered the town headed by moosie and the
nasbnel flag. Kz it pa-sed Ba&com's, Issa
ker Gavitt, who hed a double barrelled shot
gun in his band, happened accidentally to
I let the hammer fall onto the nipple, when it
| went off.
Unfortunately it wuz pinted in the di
recshun of the procession, and a nigger fell
I from his horse with the top uv his head
j bio wed orf. To increase the disorder a
; small rock, playfully throwed by Kernel
Punt at about the same time, stru .-k anoth
er one in the head, and several other rocks
from others in and about Basoom's knocked
several more uv em down. Hed the nig
gers passed on quietly all wood hev been
weil, but they didn't. Eager to quarrel,
and full uv insolence, and reely seekin a pre
' text to embroil us, the procession stopped
; in wild confusion, many uv em takin to the
woods to create the impression that they
; hed bin attackt. The dooplieity of the nig
| ger character is beyond finding out! We
' wuz surprised at their brcakin up so sud
denly, and for a miuit we didn't know what
j to do'
Ez the percussion stopt in front uv Bas
corn's our citizens conjectured their design
wuz to attack the grosery, which is reely
the citadel uv the town. In Bascom'sisall
the licker we hev; in Basoom's our innocent
revels is held; and Basoom's we will defend
to the last! What wuz we to do? Un
armed and helplis, we were onprepared for
thl-. But heaven smiled onto us, and gave
us the means to defend ourselves.
The rifles, revolvers and shot guoa be

and provident-belly they wuz all loadin and
capt. IA a minit's time they wuz distribu
ted, and afore the mob cood organize to ;
make TBE attack, a well directed volley wuz
poured into em. Tbis dismayed em, and
; the cntiie mass uv em, sich ez wuzu't kill- 1
cd, fled to the woods. Two uv tbe blood
thirsty wretches wuz shot at the edge of;
McPelter's woods by the Captain scd Elder j
Pcnnibacker, who feared that they wuz go
in in there to recognize and return to com
plete their dreadful woik. Eider Peuui
backer hit one inhuman villian with an ase. J
which hed bin wounded in tbe leg and wuz I
found in a comer uv his fence iryin to stop
the flow uv the blood. All thnt day A
posse uv citizens were engaged in quellen 1
the fears uv the community by huntiu down .
these dangerous incenjarics with dorgs anJ i
kil!in uv em, (or ez they exceeded us in J
numbers we reely trembled for the safely i
uv our wives and children.
After a terrible day, the agitated town
wuz restored to its wontiJ ptaee, and the
' citizens slept ez yoosual. The casualtes or,
our side is not so large cz mite hev been ex
ptctcd, when we consider the featful pur
j pose uv the barbarians jrbo assaled us.
Deekiu Pograni wuz seriously injoored by a
rock which l-.-aker Gaviit histed strate up ,
in hisunthinkin excitement, and poor Ker
nel McPelter's shot gun bust the second 1
time he fired it, tukin otf his thumb. These I
.njoories sustained by our citizens may be
I charged direct'-y to ihe infernal niggers, who i
would provoke oar peaccfly inclined people.
But they suffered for it. Eleven uv them .
wuz killed, and some thirty or forty wuz
wounded. The latter hev been all cared for
They wuz taken to the County Infirmary
for treatment—the expense being charged :
up to em cz a lien upon their property, wich
will, of course, be sold to defray it.
Our citizens do not boast uv wat tbeybev
done. They feci it wuz an oaplei-ant dooty
they hed to perform, but they hed to do it.
Corrupt and reckless men hev bin leadin
the colored people a-tray, and ihey hed to •
defend tbeirselves. Hed they only taken
my advice, and not attempted to hold ther
meetin, this wood not hev happened, lied,
they not hev come into the Comers with
m#>sie and a Nashnel flag a flyin, they wood
not hev been killed. And even then, bed
'hey gone on quietly after the fust one wuz
shot, and the others wuz knockt down with
stuns, I doubt whether anything more wood
hev bin dun.
They sbo- dent hev held uieetins. We j
kia never endoor a meeting uv nigger-, and j
we Dever will. Kcowin tbis, why will they
persist in boldin of em?
The citizens uv the Corners agree anani
mously {except Joe Biglerand Pollock) that
all the blame mu.-t rest upon the niggers.
I don't bleve in appeela to arms, but what
kin we do when we are so driven ?

GENERAL GRANT.
A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF niS ".SOLID j
PUBLIC SERVICES," THE "-STEADINESS .
AND STAUNCHNESS OF HIS PATRIOTISM,"
AND THE "UPRIGHTNESS" OF HIS CHAIi-
ACTEIL
General Grant's temporary acceptance of !
the \V ar Department cau.-cf a stir in the i
Republican party, which confuse# tbe cal
I eolations of those Republicans who, five
weeks ago, counted securely on his nomina
tion as their candidate for the Pre-idcncv.
Those Republican newspapers, therefore,
which, like the Time*, are trying to identify I
General Grant idth the Republican party. '
are oppo-ing a strong presumption by the j
thinnest aud feeblest of shadowy inferences
' Gen. Grant, to be sure,/.*rare the execution
of the Reconstruction act*, but so also doe-
President Juhri-on. As they do not differ
on this point, they probably differ on none
which is pertinent to the present po-ture of
affairs. President Johnson would indeed
have had no such laws passed as he feei
eonstrained to execute; nor is there arty eri
' ilencc that Gen. Grant en r favored, or tried
to promote their passage. President John
son concedes that Congress has practical
control of reconstruction by consenting to
execute the laws it has passed on that sub
ject; and Gen. Grant finding these law- in
force, recognizes their authority, without
ijoing b- hi ml them to inquire whether they
| ought to have been enacted. There is no
evidence that tie President and Acting
Secretary of War differ on anv important
practical question. The fact that the Trib
■ one and other Republican journals object to
Gen. Grant that he has never signified bis
assent to their principles, deserves notice
and consideration. Of the steadiness and
staunchness of Gen. Grant's patriotism, or
, the uprightness and the solidity of his char
j netcr. no man in the country doubts, no.-aj
-1 feels to doubt. The most perfect loyalty.
then, may stand with the most absolute in-
I difference to tho=E objects which the Repub
lican party regards as supreme. Or, to ex
press tbe same idea differently, devotion io
Republican shibboleth is no te-t of devotion
ito the country. On the score of loyalty and
solid public *< races, no man in the country
■ an come into competition with this illustrious
sodicr. But measure him by the usual,
Loyal League standards, and it requires a
magnifying gla.-s of very extraordinary pow
er to discover that he has any merit of pa
triotism at all.
The Tribune is clamorous to have Gener
al Grant sbow bis colors and take sides in
the party squabbles of the day. We rejoice
that there is one man in the country who is
above the necessity of such belittling partisan
ship. We trust that Gen. Grant loves bis
whole country; that he desires the good of
all its citizens, without regard to any divi
ding lines—whether they be lines of party,
or section, or raee, or color. It is the no
blest reward of great services like his, that
it exalts the character of this high level;
that it enables a man to act nobly without
appearing to be pretentious. Gen. Grant
is under a moral necessity of respecting the
great renown of his past services. It is be
neath him to play any common part in vul
gar politics. The Presidency can be noth
ing to him; he has a more valuable office.
But if in the hands of Providence, he amid
be an instrument for tranquilizing the coun
try. that is an honor for which he could af
ford to sacrifice ease, congenial pursuits, and
the responsibilities of greater fame as a sol
dier,
God forbid that he should descend into
t the arena of party contests. If bo cannot
be elected President without such a decent,
he can do no good in the Presidency. Oar
torn, lacerated, exasperated country needs
soothing, needs pacification, needs oil on ,
ihe troubled waters, which still toss and
dash after the recent tempest. We would
• no more have General Graut become a par
ty politician than, if we bad lived in Wa-.li
| ington s tiff e, we would have wished him
jto give and return party blow- As Wash
ington wa# e! - ted and L-.; ]on the
strength of Lis character and services, with
out pledges either asked or given, ice trust
that General Grant will herbchd, ifataP.
in the same way, and-with the same gener

THE SPANISH REVOLUTION.
Prim's Proclamation - Isabella In Exile.
PRIM S REVOLUTIONARY MANIFESTO.
Soon after arriving at Cadiz. General
Prim put forth the following proclamation:
Spaniards, to arms; citizens, to arms! .'
We have suffered long enough ! Tbe pa
tience of people has it* limits in degrada- 1
lion, ami the Spat i.-h nation, if it has some
times been unfortunate, has never ceased to
be great, and cannot continue in tearful :
resignation, to support endless evils without
falling into abject baseness. It Las, there
fore, sounded the tocsin of revolution—a !
heroic remedy, it Is true, hut inevitable nnJ j
urgent when the salvation of the country 1
j demands it. Principles liberal enough to !
• satisfy present necessities, and men sensible |
; enough to fure3ee and respect the aspirations '
of the future, mizht have obtained without j
violent changes tbe tran.-forroarioa of our '
country. But the per.-istenee of an arbi
j trarv policy, the obstinacy of doing wrong
and thu Kindness of immorality which,
i descending from a high quarter, has com
: mcnccd already to infiltrate itself into the
I organization of society, after having bepois
oncd tbe Government of the State, iu making
the administration a policy of bargaining,
: and justice a pedestal for all iniquities, have
j unfortunately retarded all salutary con
lees-ions, and isolated Spain in the general
; movement of the civilized nation.- of tbe
j globe. To arms, citizens, to arms! Lot
! the cry of war he to-day the only cry of all
■ good Spaniards. Let all Liberals, during
; the battfe. forget their former differences,
and patriotically sacrifice their personal
rancors far the salvation of the country.
, Finally, let there be only one project in the
| great Libera! communion, namely, battle !
but one end, victory! and but one flag,
"The regeneration of the country." To
destroy, in the midst of confusion, the
! obstacles which are systematically opposed
to the prosperity of people—that is the end
if armed revolutions. But to instruct
! oneself in the midst of calm and reflection—
j that Is tbe end which ought to be sought by
nations which desire to conquer by their
valor their sovereignty, and which know how
to show themselves worthy of it by con
serving it by their prudence. Let us there
fere to day destroy what time and progress
ought to have transformed by degrees, but
i without stopping lor the solution of ques
tions which future circumstances - may render
unreliable, and without prejudging ques
tions which, by weakening tbe ardor of the
combat, lessens also the sovereignty of the
nation. And when calm returns, when re
flection replaces action, all parties may then
without danger unfurl their colors, and the
people, making use of sovereign peace, may
constitute itself as it judges best, and for
that object seeking iu universal suffrage ail
the guarantees which it thinks ncee--ary for
the eonqut-ct of its liberties and the exercise
-jC it.2 right?.
Gcu rals Serrano and Dulce, like mc, are
swong ttre illustrious seamen who. impelled
by the love of their country, have put
themselves at the head of the movement
with tbe national squadron. But a naval
accident has. in spite of themselves and with
r grtt on my part, retarded their arrival. 1
-peak, therefore, not only iu my name, but
, ra the names of those illustrious Generals.
I Spaniard-, military and civil, the country
;is iu want of our efforts ! Do not be deaf to
i the cry of the country —a crv full of the
suffering of our fathers, of our wives, of oar
HOBS, and of our brothers! Fiy to the
c .mba; without heed of the insufficiency of
our armies! AU are good when the defense
of the honor ol tbe country is in question,
and conquer once more our liberties, which
have been trampled under foot? Call up the
energy of our ancestors: let us endeavor to
reconquer the esteem and admiration of
foreign nations, and. finally, show ourselves
worthy sons of coble Spain! PRIM.
HOW TRIM RE-ENTERED CADIZ.
"'Prim's entrance into Cadiz was a-scene
of almost delirious enthusiasm. We have
bad an account of it from an eye-witness,
w!. h arrived here this morning, and I have
a; 0.--en a short letter from Prim to a
friend, in which he describes it in few but
energetic words. The whole city was out.
mad with delight, men and women crowding
round the successful General, embracing and
thanking him' Tbe Gaditanos are a de
monstrative people, and on this occasion
tl ey sc- in to have almost gone out of their
sen.-es with joy. One of the first things
to be done, now that all was secure hi Cadiz,
' was to send a messenger to Seville, and a
! well-known progressists journalist was des
: patched thither. As soon as the chiefs of
] the liberal party heard of the success of the
I movement at Cadiz they rose and the
: garrison rose, and the whole city besides:
and the Captain-General of the province,
old General Yassalh), who declined joining,
rec.ive-d a pass and departed northwards.
A revolutionary committee or juora was at
once formed, having for its President Senor
Aristegni, well known and mneh esteemed
as a true, liberal, and disinterested man,
who has never held office, but has always
maintained a high reputation as an honor
| able patriot. He is a leading man in Seville,
i and probably some of your readers have
• visited his valuable gallery of pictures,
which is one of the lions' usually shown to
| strangers in that city."
THE DUKE OF MONTPENSIER.
The Gaulois publishes the following state
ment. the purport of which is confirmed to
mc from other quarters: —
"A personage who has been mixed up
with Louis Philippe's politics, and remained
on intimate terms with the Princes of tbe
Orleans family, went to Biarritz and sought
an iuterview, whioh was immediately gran
ted. 'Sire,' said the personage in question,
I am entrusted with no mi.-sion from any
one to your Majesty. I come here of toy
own aecord, to say that, whatever may be
the result of forthcoming events, I am per
j Ibctly certain that the Duke of Montpensier
i will never authorize the Duchess to accept
j Queen Isabella's succession. The Duke
knows that Spain needs to be on good terms
S with France, and he is perfectly aware that
I his personal position would place the king
dom in great difficulty. NotbiDg in the
: world would induce him to accept the re
j sponsibility of the events which might fol
low the Duchess of Montpensier's accession
!to the throne. His resolution on this score
is so far determined that your Majesty may
; consider my statement as a formal renuncia
; tion of the Spanish crown on the part of the
i Puke and Duchesa of Moutpeasier.' The
VOL,. 41: XO. 40
Emperor, in reply, said that he had the
created esteem for the character of the
I'tike and the virtues of the Duchess, but
that politic* had exigencies above all con-,
operations of feeling, and that he was happy .
to hear that the Duchess of XlontjieDsier, in |
accordance with her husband's good advice,
dismissed any idea of ascending the throne >
' of Spain."
QUEEN ISABELLA IN EXILE.
The dethroned Queen was rtill at San Se-1
ba-tian at last accounts. The Bordeaux !
; Grande gives the following pa-ticuiarsof
, her scjourn there:—
' Secluded, almost in eolitude, in her pal
ace, through whoie saloon* streams of cour
tiers and guests so lately passed, the Queen
; is reported to give vent to bitter sarcasm in
| speaking of her lonely and deserted condi
; tion. Her intendant, Marloi, who—to
everybody's indignation—is seen strutting j
! about the streets, appears to be her Mojes ;
; ty's only confidant. Now that her reasons ;
for pn.tpor,if*s IfcAr i,n unj r..—5—11 x,l
' tl<e wise advice of the few faithful friends j
j remaining to her are known, the Queen, as
| a woman and a mother is regarded with su-
J prcme indifference. The inspector of the
; North of .Spain Railway is continually in at
tendance, awaiting her Majesty's pleasure j
j to give a fourth order of departure, the j
royal carriages still remaining in the sta- ■
lion."
CURIOUS PREDICTION OF THE RISING.
A letter written and published some ,
months ago by Karl Blind is now printed in j
the German press, from which it appears
that both the previous rising, which c-nded
with the expulsion of the Duke oFMontpen
-ier, and the present revolution, were con
fidently expected and predicted so early as!
the beginning of this year. The following j
were the words a Spanish leader, who was
in London at that time, literally made use;
of: —"In a few months you will see a num
ber of our Generals arrested; among them
even the former favorite of the Queen, .Mar
shal Serrano, Count de la Torre. A new
military movement is on foot; we have
nothing to do with it: we shall simply step
a>ide; and that scnspiracy will fail. But a
few months afterwards you will see another
rising, of a more extensive and decided na- |
ture. Our great towns are ready for that;
and, be sure, the pronuriciamento will be
made." The prediction thus communicated
several months ago has certainly come to be
fulfilled.
THE BIBLE.
I was reading a deeply interested tale in
which a French gentleman brought his wife
home otie day a present. "What do yon ;
think it is? " said he. He gave it into her ;
hand, and she found it to be a Bible. Both
were infidels. "The book-seller said no, I ]
brought it as a piece of antiquity." The!
book was then laid on the shelf. Many
months passed away. One day, the gentle- |
man set alone in Lis study, full of sorrow: j
his first born baby was dead, and his wife j
jhf"* li& rlci-porof- LA AIM 1
paced the room. Suddenly his eye glanced
on the piece of antiquity. lie took it dowD
carelessly turned over the pages. The
first passage she saw were in Job xiv: 1, 24;
be closed the book angrily; yet his mind
was disturbed. Days passed; the wife still
lived and the husband kept solitary in Lis
library; but a change bad come over him. ;
Again he took to the Bible; he read hour !
after hour: midnight come on, and even day j
dawn, yet still he read. Another day, and j
his wife revived. When permitted to see
her, he told her about the book he bad been
reading, and that it had made him very
unhappy. She said: "We will burn the !
dismal book.'' "Wo must not turn it," he
replied.
As weeks passed on, and the wife was
getting better, she so wi-hed to share her
husbank's distress of mind, that she pur
suaded him to bring the piece of antiquity
to her chamber. She read it sometimes
aloud, sometimes with her husband, and j
seemed to find pleasure and tranquility in
it. She said one day to him: "If this book
is true (as it surely is.) our condition is
very happy." Time wore on- Both read
and studied tb is precious book, and found
promise; light shone into their dark seals,
and the piece of antiquity proved to them
(as it will, with God's blessing, to all who
read it,) truly a "lamp unto their feet,
and a light unto their path."
LITTLE SINS.— An ingenious mode of
ti rer killing is that which is employed by
the natives of (Jude. They gather a num
ber of broad leaves of the prauss-tree,
which much resembles the sycomore, and
having well besmeared them with a kind of
bird-lime, they strew them in the animal's
way. taking care to lay them with prepared
side uppermost. Let a tiger but put his
|iaw on one of these innocent looking leaves
and his fato is settled. Finding the leaf
sticking to his paw, he then shakes it in or
der to rid himself of the nuisance, and find
ing the plan unsuccessful, he endeavors to
attain his object by rubbing it against his
face, thereby smearing the ropy bird-lime
over his nose and eyes, and gluing the eye
lids together. By this time he has probably
troddeu ujion several more of the treacherous
leaves, and is bewildered with the novel in
convenience, then he rolls on the ground
and rubs his head and face on the earth, in
his efforts to get free. Bv so doing he only
adds fresh bird-lime to his body, and limbs,
agglutinates his sleek fur together in un
sightly tufts and fini.-hed by hood-winking
himself so thoroughly with leaves and bird
lime,, that he lies floundering on the ground,
tearing up the earth with his claws, uttering
howls of rage and dismay, and exhausted
by the impotent straggles in which he had
teen so long engaged. These cries arc a
signal to the authors of his mischief, who
ran to the spot, anaed with sruns, bows and
spears, and find no difficulty in dispatching
their blind and much wearied foe.
What more striking illustration of the
danger of yielding to the first temptation!
The deceit and falsehood resorted to in
hiding a knowledge of the fact. Sin upon
sin. But temptation once yielded to, mul
tiplies its power over us. Thus smear, leaf
after leaf, till we are the powerless victim
and prey of our sins.

"BREAKING THE BANK" AT BADEN
, BADEN.— The Paris Figraro reports the
• success of acertain XI. Edgar de la Charme,
who for a number of days together never
left the gaming room at Baden Baden
without carrying off the sum of twenty-four
thousand francs. The Figaro gives the
following account of the close of his cam
j paign:
' The day before yesterday M. de la
Ciianne, reflecting that there must be an end
even to the greatest run of luck, locked his
portmanteau, paid his bill, and took the
road to the railway station, accompanied
by some of his friends. On reaching the
wicket he found it closed; there were still
three quarters of an hour to pass before
the departure ol the train. 'I will go and
play my parting game,' he exclaimed; and
turning to the coachman, bade him drive to
j Karseal. His friends surrounded him and
held him back: he should not he would
' lose at! ins winning* But lie was resolute,
and soon reached the Casino, where his
traveling dress caused a stare of satisfaction
among the croupier?. He sat down at the
trente et quarente, broke the bank in twen
ty minutes, got into his cab again, and
seeing the inspector of the tables walking to
and fro under the arcades he said to him, in
i tone of exquisite politeness, 'I could not
think of going away without leaving you my

BEING AGREEABLE.
The art of being agreeable is to appear
well pleased with all the company: and
' rather seem well entertained with thein
than to bring entertainment to them. A
man thus disposed, may not have much
learning nor much wit, but if he has com
mon soDsc, and something friendly in his
ixbavior, it conciliates men's minds more
than the brightest parts withoat this dispo
sition; and when a man of such a turn comes
to old age. he is almost sure to be treated
with r, spc-et It is true, that we should
not dissemble and flatter in company: but a
man may be very agreeable, strictly consis
tcat with truth and sincerity by prudeDt si
knee when he cannot concur, and a pleas
inga-sent where he can. Now and then
yon meet with a person so exactly formed to
please, that he will gain upon every one
who hears or beholds him: this is not merely
the gift of nature, but frequently the effect
c f much knowledge of the world, and a com
mand over the passions.
THE HUSBAND.
Ladies sometimes do not value their hus
bands as they ought. They not unfrcquently
,earn the value of a good husband for the
' first time by the loss of him. Yet the hus
band is the very roof-tree of the house, the
corner stone of the edifice, the keystone of
the arch called home. He is the bread-win.
r,cr of the family, its defense and its glory,
the beginning and ending of the golden
chain of life which surrounds it, its consoler,
its. law triver and king. And yet we see
how frail is that life on which so much de
pend.--. How frail is the life of the husband
and father! When he is taken away who
shall fill his place? When he is sick, what
gloomy clouds hover over the house! When
he is dead, what darkness, weeping, agony!
Thea poverty, like the murderous assassin.
I break? in at the window: starvation, like a
famishing wolf, howls at the door. Widow
j hood is too often the associate of sackcloth
and ashes. Orphanhood too often means
desolation and woe,
A NEW ARMOR PLATING.— A newly
invented armor plating was recently the
subject of interesting experiments in the
presence of the Emperor Napoleon 111.
This substitute for steel plates is made of
felt, vegetable fibres and a woven fabric,
an d is compressed by the action of powerful
machinery until it becomes as solid as cast
metal. At the trial it was tested both as
a coating for .-hips and as a breast-plate. The
Chasscpot gun, it is stated, could not pene
trate the felt, and a revolver discharged
close to the surface produced no effect The
Emperor, it is reported, has given orders
for a trial of this substance on a large scale,
so as to ascertain its applicability to ships of
war.
PROSPECTS OF THE SOUTH. —Nature has
been bountiful to the South this year, and
furnished it with the means of relief from
many pressing social and financial cmbarras
oK-ntr. The comparatively favorable cotton,
I corn and tobacco crops may Dot be sufficient
to cause a return to the former general
prosperity, but they, at least, place all clas
ses in a better position respecting the im
mediate present and future. At the present
prices of cotton, the South will realize not
less than §200,000,000 from this staple, and
probably about half as much more from
tobacco, corn and other products. It will
tbus have a solid basis of about §300,000,
000 upon which to proceed.
ADVICE TO YOVKO MJK.—Let the busi
ness of every one alone, and attend to your
own Don't bay what you don't want.
I'sc every hour to advantage, and study to
make a leisure hour uesful. Think twice
before you spend a dollar; remember you
will have another to make for it. Look
over your books regularly, if a stroke of mis
fortune comes upon you in your business,
retrench, work harder, but never fly the
track. Confront difficulties with unflinch
ing perseverance, and they will fly at last;
then you will be honored, but shrink, and
you will be despised.
XIOPESTT is not only an ornament, but
also a guard to virtue. It is a kind of quick
and delicate feeling into the soul, which
makes her shrink and withdraw herself from
everything that has danger in it. It is such
an exquisite sensibility, as warns her to
shun the first appearance of everything
which is hurtful.
WHAT is said from the feeling of the
moment should excite but feeling of the
moment.
ACKNOWLEDGING WC have been in the
wrong is oaiy showing that wc arc truer to
day than yesterday.
HUMAN nature is so constituted, that all
see, and judge better, in the affairs of other
men than in their own.
A good word is an easy obligation; but
not to speak ill requires only oar silence
which costs us nothing.
THE best consolers of human hearts may
bear broke# hearts in their own bosoms,
