A Sketch of the Alnhninn Convent
tlon.
A correspondent of tho Boston AcktHitm;
writing from Montgomery, AU., give tlie
follow ing favorable sketch of tho convention
ut thnt pluco:
"I ennfeas I hod not former! ft very favom
lile opinion of the convention Judging from
the nuiniroua report Hllout in all part of
the country. Judge then of my agreeable
aiirprise w hen, on lining brought fare to face
witu it member in aession, I beheld a res
(.'eutublu iukI tligniflerl body of men, mainly
w liitea, w hose orderly deportment und res
pectful demeanor at once arrested my atten
tion und banished all diapositinn for ridicule
ttr contempt. I aoon secured myself n seat,
und retnaiucd watching the proceedings for
oino) time. The debates were very interest
ing, nnd displujetl much vigor of thought
hikI terseness of expression. Uy a wise rule
Hilopte I early in the seuson, tacit speaker
whs limite'l to ten minutest, which secured
condensation in argument, while it added
variety to the entertainment for an outsider
like myself. The discussions wero chiefly
curried' on by the whiles, whose intelligence
und rrntlier discernment gave them a deci
ded advnntflge.
"Occasionally, however, ft colored tnem
jier etsayed to ix press himself, w hich he did
in his own original stylo; 1 do not mean
common plnulation talk, hut in tolerably
gootl gratnniHticnl language, remarkable
chiefly fur the absence of nny regular me
thod in its composition. The illustrations
used in thu course of argument were often
homely and occasioned merriment, but
st-emed quite npropos to the points at issue.
I might remark in passing that some ol
these colored delegates have had no mean
education, and possess, in addition the ad
vantages nf a varied experience. All the
members seemed impressed with tho impor
tance of the wnrk ia which they were en
gttged, and anxious to see it well done.
There were men there whose gray hairs and
self collected mien betokened a ripe expert
nee and careful judgement. Otners there
Acre in thu prime of life whose serious as
pect, and yet noro restless manner, told of
greater intellect mil vigor and more eager
interest. The few young men of the assem
bly kept themselves modestly in the back
ground, and seldom spoke.
"Tuke it all in all, us 1 have heard it fre
quently remarked since my unival, a more
sober ami orderly legislative body were
never before assembled at the state capital.
Drinking is very rare emoiig its members,
anil those who remember the disgruceful
scenes formerly so much in vogue, canuot
nut draw a favorable comparison of tho pre
sent state of affairs with them. As to the
composition of the convention in other res
peitls, I lind very erroneous ideas prevail
abroad.
"Instead of a confused mass of northern
adventurers and negroes, of which many
suppose it to bu made up, I letirn. upon care
lul inquiry, that fully three fourths of the
whites, to say nothing of the others, are old
residents of good standing in their several
communities. Many of them are lawyers ot
known talent, and lew have worn the judi
cial ermine. That they did not command a
larger support from the whites is due in a
greut measure to the tenor of public opinion,
which kept numbers away from the polls.
The combined efforts of the old secession
element nnd the renegade Republicans who
have scattered themselves everywhere in the
South lor the purpose of stirring up strife,
have succeeded lor the time being in de
ptiving the people nf their senses on the
question of reconstruction. But that truth
will in the end p.evail I have no doutit. All
that remains is fur Congress at act firmly
and with moderation, and we shall soon see
the States creeping back one by one into
their former loyal status."
Proposed ' tie of Cuba nntl Porto
Etico.
The New York Herald hat the following
lespuicli from Uuvann :
" VVe have further and authentic news from
Madrid in relation to thu sale of the Spanish
West Indian possess. on. It conveys the
important information that the Spanish
government has mudu a (urinal offer to the
American Minister at Madrid, the Hon. John
H. Hale, to sell the islands of Cuba and
forto Kico to the United States for one
hundred and fifty millions of dollars in gold
The term ot sale are as f.illows: Fifty mil
lion dollars in gold are to bu paid down iu
i'hsIi on the signing of thu treaty nnd the
formal delivery of thu island to the authori
ties of the United States. A second fifty
million dollar in gold to be paid one year
thereulter. The third instalment nf fifty
millions in gold to be paid at the end of six
jeurs. The public heart is beating with
anxiety at the announcement, and great ex
citement prevails, as the extinguishment of
slavery here will be one of the consequences
ot ilns sale. It was hoped by some that
Spain would abolish the institution in time
to save her national pride. The acquistions
made by the foiled States from Russia and
Denmark, that of Louisiana from France,
and of Florida from Spain herself, are now
referred to as precedents that leave the
national honor of Spain in this bargain un
assailable. The sharp scent nf Yankee
speculation is instanced by tho fact thut an
American company lias already, on the
strength of the above reports, purchased
Gtiujaba island, near Uuevitas. They in
tend to colonize it, and are about to put
80.0(10 acres of it under cultivation. Thus
thu last hopes of the slave traders are gone."

BU ADVJSR.
Mi yurig friend, yu are about tew begin
life, and nltho it may seem clrcdful impossi
ble tew yu, nevertheless yu will be liable to
inane sum mistakes while yu are scoring, or
during the fust mile or two.
Let me mix up a lUtlu advise for yu tew
take till you git tew trotting stiddy.
Yu will obt.erve that the advise it designed
for young gentlemen who show sum signs of
speed, and also that i reason right from tho
shoulder.
1st. Treat the old man and the old wo
man as yure equals; smile when they ex
hort, and laff when they entreat, for no
yung man kan hope for suckcess in the or
tiumentot walks uv life w ho dont wear the
belt at homo.
2. If yu kant raze a mustach, commit sui
cide at once and begin agin j for it is better
tew die than to suller disgrace.
8. Cultivate impudense impndense ia a
good substitute for bravery only be a little
kcertul tew pick yure customers when vu
try it.
4. Keep a trotter and a fitcing rooster.
Tbezc animals will let yu iuto the konBdense
uv men w ho w ill watch over yure morals and
no 88 pure genius.
5. Avoid the old fogys; they are a miser
able set uv cowardly croakers, who, like a
third rate dorg, have lurnt what little they
kno about virtew bi simply being overmatch
ed in a fair fight.
6. Suspekt buI femail virtew. This will
give you an easy flow of ambiguous lan
guage while in sosiety uv the ludys and
enabel yu tew awaken confusion which yu
kan kail sumthing else.
7. If yu git desperit, and must marry,
marry for ducuts marrying for blud or for
luv iz too sloppy for a man ov spirits. Luv
iz a pashun, and iz desighned for 2 story
houses on oue ov tho back streets, not for a
brown stun front.
8. Bi aul means learn tu aware, nud smoke
freely, and don't ever mistake rain water for
milk punch, onless yu want a soft thing.
9. Call religion a stock jobber's pigeon to
ketch Ilntts with ; say that virtew iz only
the galvanized impotence ov cowards; that
wisrJtiin iz but an egg that iz addled ; lad' at
aul things that tire solemn, and sware that
Buck us and Venus are the only two gods fit
tow be worshipped.
Young man, cultivate fill) the above graces,
and add tew them what the ardor nf yure
genious may inspire, nnd if tho hoss jockeys
and pimps generally don't say yu are a cuss
uv the brightest hew, and if the devil don't
make yu sum flattering proposals, the days
of chivalry are positively over, and pudditig
and milk has got more glory in it than a
brandy smash, a rum sour, or even a tbomas
and jerry.
Yung man (a fu words w ith yu in private,)
let these cheerful remarks settle down into
yu when yu git to rellektiug at 12 o'clock
sum ruiny night.
Dont make a phnol of yourself by trieing
to jump 60 feet at one jump and laud among
the Beruoys at. onst, but examine yure bild
clussly and see if yu aiut better koustt ukted
for sumthing honest.
But if yu rind yu must go to dispair, then
put on aul the steam yu kan carry, and
either bust or git thare az soon az possibel.
P. S. -When yu git thare, nud hev had
enuffov it, just drop me a line and I will
see what kan be did for yu. But don't for
git one thing thut the road buck is 8 times
az fur, and all the way up hill besides.
lVhlnins; Woman.
If there be anything in the wide world
that w ill wear on the patienco of a man, and
render him indifferent to his domestic fire
side aud the society of his wife he hus pro
mised to cherish, it is a whining wemnu.
To bear day after day iu the morning when
he sits down at thu breakfast table,
and in the evening when returned
from his wearisome days' labor, piteous
complaints like these, uttered ia dolorous
accents : "Oh, I have such a headache !'' or
"my back aches so I can scarcely stuud,"
would require a virtue superior to that found
in any being "made a little lower than the
angels" to wilhstund them without flinch
ing from the course of strict rectitude.
The institution of marriage hus in view
thu improvement f the eurthly condition
nt those who respect it. No person, man or
woman, contemplates murriage without ex
pecting to better himsell or uersell. A mac
who in a freak of fancy for a pair ol melting
black eyes or pretty face, allies himself for
Uto wmi a sickly wile, is certainly much to
blame if he exhibit a coolness of manner
toward her. He should have been more
discreet in his choice. Rosy cheeks and
dancing health are very attractive to the
unmarried, and titer marriage constitute
one of the strongest links that bind a hus
band's love. Wheu a year or two of that
close intimacy only found in wedded life,
has dispelled' all the romance that either
party entertained on thu threshold, and one
realizes thut thu other is an invalid, bow
much of bitterness is added to his or her
cup of married existence, be other things
ever so abuudunt and luxurious their palatial
abode. It may be laid down as a maxim,
that in no eurthly condition is health so
uecessary a in the married relation. Young
man, if you would bo happy in your home;
if you would avoid a disposition to "whine,''
ami thus render jou permanently uncom
fortable, tee to it that your wife is a healthy
busoin latnie to whom headache and back
aches are marvel of other folk's preten
sions. Miss Muloch, in speaking of the inflm nre
of woman in society, use the follow ing lan
guage :
"Oh I if 'gloomy' women did but know
what comfort there is in a cheerful spirit-
How the heart leaps to meet a sunshiny face,
a merry tonge, an even temper, aud a "heart
which, either naturally, or, what is better,
conscientious principle, has learned to take
all things on the bright side, believing that
thu Giver of life being all perfect love, the
tits t oueriDg we can nuke to turn is tn eniov
to the full what he sends of good, and what
he allows of evil like a child who, when
once it believes in its father, believe in all
his doing with it, whether it understands
them or not."
That huabaud who baa a prrpetnal sun
shine in bis home io the shape nt a cheerful
wife, should be one of th happiest of men,
and if he is not, Providence hss been too
kind to him.
An exchange asks, "Why are women like
churches I" Firstly, because there is no liv
ing without one ; secondly, because there ia
many a spire to them ; thirdly, because they
re objecta of adoration, viei lastly, but by
no means least, bectuse brv beVe IfW
