A woman to the holy father went,
Confessron of sin was her Intent ;
And so her mlsdemeanors. 'great and small,
She faithfully rehearsed them all ; .
'And, ehleflest In her catalogue of sin.
She owned that she's tale-hearer had been,.
And borne a bit 'of scandal up and doWn.
To all the lonvongued mrssips In the town.
The holy father for her other sin
(keeled Te_absolittletiasked Of
But whip' for all the rest, he pardon gate;?
He told her this offense was very grave,
And that to'da fit penance she must go
Out by the way 7 Nitle where the thtstles grow,
And gather the largest. ripest owe,!; '
Scatter 4 seeds, and when this was done.
She must come back again another day
To tell.hitnhis commands she did obey..
The woman, thinking thida'pen.auce light,
. .
Hastened to dik his will that very night, •
Feeling right glad the had escaped so well. -,
. .
Neat day but one site went the priest . tell :
The priest Nat still and beard her story rough,
Then said, "There's something still.for y a to do:
Those little thistle seeds which you have sown,
I bid; ett g‘Nre-gat her, every one. — • . - "
The woman said, "Rut, Father, •twould be vain
To try togatlter up those seeds again ; -
The winds have scattered them both far and aside
liver the meadowed vale and reountattoside.l:
Tee father a,nswerek "..Sow I hope that front this
+fink lesson I have taught you will oet.miss :
Von cannot gather lack the scattered seeds,•
Which .I:4r and wide will grow to noixtutia weeds,

By any be again undone."' . ...)

SOWING AND REAPING.
— Howard Simpson and. Loraine
Bliss, two young men. of 'great inti
macy slid of dissipated habits, were
On thei!way to a gambling saloon,
where 'the night. previous they had
won considerable, and on passing a
church, the doors of which were '
open, paused-a moment by the steps
'peering - in out of idle curiosity, just
as the. minister was giving out his
text" As 'ye sow, 0 shall ye reap.''
"We are not farmers, so we
. *:1 not
sow anything to. reap, " said 'toward,
the chier and more profligate.of the
-two; but Loraine hioked thoughtful,
and kept silent as they balked along
toward the place of their night's de . -
banch..- And often during the jubi:
lant gayety of the ravele s rs that pas
sage, "As ye sow, so . shall ye reali,".
flashed into'his mind.
" - .1.14s as my good mother tells nie,"
thought he.; . 4 wg'must sutler for cv
cry evil deed done in the body, and
I my
.ile4ds are Constantly evil. ..Ifut
from this night 1 iTilf-do diffe x entl,v.
I will Hot be -caught in this Mace
again." ' . ;
`• What ails you, Bliss ? You are.
as dull as a November hoe," said
Ga,ybright, - one of the ringleaders of
the company. •
" Guess he's thinking abort reap
ing what he- sows," answered Simp
son, and - then about a dozen rude
men burst into a loud llt of laughter.,
What did von mean by that re
mark ?" one of them presently asited.
;Ile then told theM of the text giv
e4out by the minister as they N:ere
pfissincr- the church.
"The minister go to and he
surely will," said Boardon,:.one of
'the most blasphemous of the whole
BEE
This profane remark, with 'others
no better, grated harshly on the mind
.of Loraine; for he was really feeling
more serious than he had ever felt
before. ' but he made no reply,' know
ing if he did it Would only serve to,
call forth.still_kirsher language.
Ile left ashs he cotibt.,Which
was not•till one o'clock, and - after be
.got home' crept to his chamber as
noiselessly as possible last he might
awaken his father, Who at thnes was
very harsh to him. Thep, for the
first-time in his life, he Offered a sill
cere prayer to God, beseeching. him
to him strength to turn from the
evil way into.whieh he had been led.
Meantime, his father having beard
him enter the house, was denouncing
him in the severest terms.
"Po • not be harsh with . him,"
*sted the mother: " I Lope he will
socelearn to do better ; he is young
and wild, though not vicious, I trust."
' 'But the old gentleman could see
natight but wrogg in his 'boy.
lle shall leave the hoUse! 1 will
'disinherit him if he does not stay at
home nights ; he is a:disgrace to the
family; Think of the money I have
paid out for him:--sent him to col
lege, given him the privilege of study
ing. law with me in my office. But
no, he chooses to- spend his time
carousing with a set of loafers." .
"Yerhaps if we were gentle with
rhibi," tremblingly . : whispered: his'
mother.
But the old gentleman did not
heed this . advice, for the next morn' ,
ing his first salutation to Loraine
was— _
-" Where !lid - you stay„so lat , :t. last
bight, you scapegrace ? - Unless you
mend your s s s - as„ you'll leave these,'
remises for gookand all." ' • . -
Loraine, who had been penitent
through the night; : ,- resolving to do
better in future; nofelt his temper
‘ \l..,
and his resolution me in; away; and
le sat', down tki the tale in a sullen
mood. Buthel shortly a .er made up

and said : •

'" Then You don't like. it?"
' "like it I- . Why, a pound of that
would kill a man!"
The second man lifted up the roll,
smelled all around it, and finally put
a crumb into his mouth.-
" Pretty

queried the grocer. r• , , •
" Well, yes, though • there!s a trifle:

• Mr. President, if the gentlemen on
the other side want
,the South to be
prOsperuns they m oot , cease this
mode . of warfare. The South will
never raise to a higher plane than
that which it occupies now :aslong
as this 'condition of things is
permitted' to go on. As long as in
timidation and social ostracism are t
allowed to prevail it cannot _expect '
to be respected' e. The Senator from '
Alabaina• (Mr. Morgan), whom ad
mire so much, net only on account ,
of his great ability and Darning, but;
on-account of,hiS frankness, funiahil- ,
ity and kindness, said in his speech-
Thur4day last that "'the freedom
Of the Government; became the free
dom of the governed ; when the gov

ern themselveS, and to
~ de this they
must be.relatcvely and proportionate
ly
to the
_rights, powers and
privileges which the goVyrnment is
ordained to establish and preteet."
I join hands With the honorable Sen
ator in that doctrine, but let me in-.'
fOrfn my worthy trend' that no such
condition •of .things exist at the
South ; the governed are not " free',"
neither are they relatively and pro-.
portionately equal in their rights,
powers and privileges. If that was
the true state of affairs I should not
for my•part utter one word of com
plaint, but it is riot. Intimidation
and social ostracism do exist in the
South; and as lopg as that Is the case
it• Cannot • be? prosperous. • These
curses must be eradicated, and in
their stead. intelligence land labor,
and the outgrowth oflaber, which is

is reported in the Record as having.

EVIDENCE. OF SOCIAL 'OSTRACISM
I'have heard that same declaration
made more than once: on this floor.
With all the assertions that no social
ostracism exists atthe South I declare
here most emphatically that it does
exist; that pure,hearted, honest,
faithful, intelligent and learned men
are to-day anxious to leave the South
and to go North because they are
ostracised. As evidence of what 1
say I will read a short extract from
a letter which I received a few days
ago from a gentleman now - residing
in Richmond, who -was a classmate
of mina at college, and .for whose
reputation for veracity and probity
1 - can personally vouch: As, he has
not given me the liberty of ' making
public' the contents of his letter I
shall withhold his name: , • •

As I have -before . remarked, you
deny that il ocial Ostracism exists at :. .
the South. I have , given you one
instineeond that instance .was that
of a Southern man by birth. Thave
no doubt many similar cases exist.
You need not, -go. to Virginia or to
any other Southern State to seek
proof of that filet: We have it right
here in our midst—it is in thislien- °
ate. Is not the Senatbr - from Vir- .
ginia (Mahone) ostracised by the
Democratic side of this body ?- Dare
you deny his courage ? Dare you re
fer. to his past record?" Dare you •
speak of him as a min notlit to as
sociate with honorable Senators? 15...
he not your' peer as. he .is ours? I
ask you that question and give you
time to reflect. Has it not been an

that they will not even pair with ' . ,
him ? Has be not - been openly insult
ed day after day by that side? They
have, unblushingly - boasted that not ,
I a Demotirat shall ' pair with him.
They do not' recognize him as a
friend awl. brother Senator; and
why. Because. be i , bas had the maw- --
hood to tell thein that he dissented
from their political opinions , ; he
ed-use he has dared 'to tell them that
'he will'act according'to bis own Con
victions and conscience and not be
dictated to by' anyone, bc , :ause he
had the hardihood to„ stand up and
assert his rights as a freeman on the
i f loor of the American Senate. For
I r this (Meuse you refuse' to extend. him' .
I the courtesy that one gentleman, ex- .
tends to another. What is this Kit
ostracism ? Gentlemen, these are
-stubborn facts which Cannot be con- -
tradicted. .The conclusion is evident
•that if it-eiists here, in the highest
tribitnal in the land, it certainly does
in' the South!. . - .

Thoughtful Thoughts.
r •
31E - e frequently like tea, 7 —thc real
strength and goodness are not property
drawn out until they have been in hot
water. •
Bow narrow our souls become when ab
sorbed in any present• good or ill. It is
only the thought of the future that makes
them great. •
WE are haugin,l up pictures every day
about the chamber walls of our hearts
that we shall have to look at when we sit
in the shadows.
TtlE surest - method' of arriving at a
knowledge of Go(Ps eternal purpose about
us is tole found in the right use of the
present moment.
.
IT, is a viod thing to know how to en
joy the blessings sent , us, that we may
therefore not only have them, but have
their intended results.
Tiu. businoss of constancy chiefly is
bravery to stand to and stiutlf to suffer
those inconveniences which are not tither
wise possible to be avoided,
FLOWERS never emit so sweet and
strong a fragrance as before a storm.
Beauteous soul ! when a storm approaches
thee be as fragrant as a sweet4rnelling
flower.
WICKEDNESS iSgenerally a plant of slow
growth, and we rarely find that extreme
youth Is totally devoid of Virtues, though
it may bestaineu with many vices.
In making friends consider well first ;
and when you. are fixed; be true, not
wavering of reports, nor deserting in
affliction, for that , becomes not the good
and virtuous. -
Tux poor old negro preacher was more
than lialf tight when he said : " Bredder•
in, if we could all lee into our owu hearts
as God 'does, it would tilos' -•keer us to
death."
IT is in vain for you. to expect, , it is im
pudent for you to ask, of God forgiveness
on your own behalf, if you refuse to exer:
else this forgiving temper with respect to
others.
FIRMNESS, both in sufferance and exer
tion, is h'cliarakter which I would wish to
possess. I have always despised the,
