the beginning of tho tabernacle, a building

It is projected on a largo coalo, and is

WHAT IS SAID AnOUT PEACE.
Trom tho Savannah Republican, Nov. 3,
We would bo among tho last to cnoour

think for a moment of acckding to any
terms of adjustment that wo could accept
ivith honor. Victory is our sheet anchor,
and the only dependence. Our legions
triumphant and our flag floating proudly
in tho faco of a conquered foe, will bo the
only true harbingers of peace. Tho North
will never let us go so long as there is a
hope left of restoring a Union that has
made them prosperous, rich and insolent.
All men at tho North, not thoroughly
demented, must now sco the utter hope

into an unwilling union with them. For
nearly four years havo they btrived with
all their vast powers aud unlimited resour

will be no other alternative. On tho oth

A Thrilling Story.
As early as 003, Erriok Uaudo, an
Icelandic ohiof, fitten out an expedition of
twenty fivo galleys at Sontoll, and having
manned thorn with sufficient orews of col-
oniets, set forth lrom Iceland to what ap
peared to bo a inoro congenial climate.
They sailed upou tho ocean fifteen days,
and saw no land. The next day brought
with it atorm,and many a gallant ves
id sunk in tho deep. Mountains of ioo
covered tho wa'er as far as tho oyo oould
reach, and but few gilloys escaped des
truction. The morning of tho 17th was
clear and eloudUss; tho sea was calm, and
far away to tha northward could bo seon
thu glare of iou fields reflected on tho sky.
Tho remains of the .'battered fleet gathered
together to pursue their voyage, ;but the
galley of lirrick llando was not there.
Tho crew of the galley whieh was driv
en further down thau tho rest reported
that as tho morning broke, tho large fields
of ioo that covered tho ocean wero driven
by the current past them, and that they
beheld tho galloy of Erriok llandc born
by resistless force and speed of the wind
before a tremendous field of ice ; her erew
had lost all coutrol over her, and thoy
Were tossing their arms in wild agony.
Scarcely a moment had elapsed cro it was
walled in by a hundred ico hills, and tho
whole mass moved forward and was soon
bejond the horizon. That tho galloy of
the narrator esoaped was wonderful ; it
lemaiucd however, uncontradicted and
tho vessel of Krrick Haudc was uevcr moro
seen.
Haifa century after that, a Danish col
onel was established on tho western coast
01 -reClllana. 1UC CrCW Ot 1110 VCSSOl
wbich cauM tl,u cohnUta thither, in their
excursions into the interior, crossed a
range of hills that stretched to 'the north
ward ; thoy had approached uoarcr to the
pole than any prooeding adventures. Up
on looking down from the summit of the
hills they beheld a vast and interminable
field of ice, undulating iu various places,
and formed into a thousand grotesque
shape3.
They saw, not far from tho shore, a fig
ure of an ioed vessel, with glittering icic
les instead of mastsjarri-iing from it. Curi
osited prompted them to approach, and
thov behold a dismal sight. Figures of
men in every attitude of woo were upon
the deck, but tbey were icy things then ;
one firu-o alone stood ercol and with fold
ed arms, kand against the mast. A
hatchet was procured and the ico split
away, and tho features of a chieftain dis-
o1osi''i1i Pallid aud deathly and froo from
uocay,
This was doubtloss tho vessel, and tl at

spray of tho ocean and the fogs had fro
zen as it lighted upon thorn, and covered
each figure with an icy robe, whioh the
bhort lived glance of a Grocnland sun had
not time to remove. The Danes gazed
upon the spectacle with trembling eyes.
They knew not but the scene might bo
their fate, too. Thoy knelt down upon
the deck andinuttered a prayer iu their
nr.tiv'! tongue for ihe souls of tho frozen
crew, thou hurriedly left the place, for
night was githcriug aiouud.

I never undortook but onoo, said Tim,
to set at naught tho authority of my wife,
You know her way cool, quiet but do-

wero married, and all was nioc and cosy,
she got mo into tho habit of doing all the
churning. Sho finished breakfast rather
beforo me ono morning, aod slipping away
from tho table, iho filled tha churn with
cream, and set it down whero I oouldn't
holp seeing what was wanted. So I took
hold readily enough and churned till the
butter oamo. Sho didn't thank mo, but
looked so nice and sweet about it that I
felt well paid.
Well, when nextohurning day carao a
long, sho did the same thing, and I follow
ed suit,and fetohed tho butter. Again and
again it was dono just so, and I was reg
ularly sot for it every time. Not a word
said, you know, of ooursa. Well, by
and by this began to bo rather irksomo ;
I wanted hor just to ask me, but sho nev
er did, and I wouldn't say anything about
it to sftvo my life Soon wo went. At
last I made a resolve that I would not
chum aonther time until sho asked me.
Churning day oamo, and when my broak
fast .ho always cot nioc breakfasts
when that was swallowed, there stood tho
ohurn. I got-up, andstanding for a fow
minutes just to give her a chance, I put
on my hat and walkod out of doors. I
stopped in the yard to givo hor timo to call
ino, but never a word said she, and so
with a palpitating hart I moved od. I
went down town, and my foot was as
rostlcas as Noah's dove. I felt as if I had
dons a wrong. I did not feci exaotly how
but thcro was au indcscriblo sensation
of guilt resting on mo ull the forenoon.
It seemed as if dinner timo would nover
oomc, and as for going homo ono minute
beforo dinner, I would as soon havo cut
my oars off. So I went fretting and mop
ing around town till dinner-hour oame.
Homo I went, feeling very much as a crim

their hands his destiny Life or death.
I couldn't make up my mind exactly how
she, would meet me, but somo kind of
storm I expected. Will you belLovo it

but there stood tho ohurn just where I left
it. Not a word was said ; I felt confound
odly cut, and every mouthful of that din
ner felt as if it would choke me. She
didn't pay any regard to it, however, but
went on juH exactly as if nothing had
happened. Uefore dinner was over, 1
had again resolved, and shoving back my
chair, I marched to tho churn and went at
it, just iu the old way. Splash, dip, rat
tle I kept it up. As if iii spite, tho but
tor was never so long iu coming, I sup
posed tho cream standing so long had got
warm, and so I redoubled my efforts.
Obstinate matter, the afternoon wore
away whilo was churning. I pausod at
last from real exhaustion, when sho epoko
for the first time. "Come, Tom my dear,
you havo rattled that butter-milk long
enough it is for fun you are doiug it I"
I knew how it was in a flash. Sho had
brought tho butler in the forenoon -and
had left tho butter-milk in for me to exor

household matters after that.

Ono of tho most shocking oases of mfl

disgrace of civilization of society in thi
city has recontly oomo to light,- wherein
one of tho parties is a nogro drayman,
black as midnight, and tho other a young
and in many r.spects acoomplishcdoman,
tho daughtor of a Chicago morohant.
Monstrous as tho statement may seem,
these twain are man and wife, and their
marriage took placo with tho oonsent.free
ly and unhesitatingly given, of the bride;
parents. It is something over n y'oar

party of devotees to this admirable philo
sophy gathered together upon.that festivo
occasion to admire the trosseau of o negro'a
bride, and witness the cormony which
was to forovor brand st offspring.
From that time to this, husband and wife
havo lived together in tho most affcotton
atc manner. Tho man was her ohoico,
her dearly beloved, and no wonder thoy
should live happily togethor. The cstcb
iehmcnt maintained by them has never been
au imposing one ; it wa early found that
even money could not repurchase tho po
sition whioh the young woman has onoe
hold, and tho newly-married pair very
quickly found it to tho advantage of all
concerned to take a small oottago in an ob
scure part of the city, whero they now
continue to dwell, and from whonee the
happy groom starts off with his dray, at
tor imprinting a kiss upon tho fair oheek
of his affectiouato wifo, smoking a short
blaok pipo, and gaily wbisiling ''Kingdom
Coming," or aomo other popular tunc.
The citizen abovo referred to and
whoso name for eommon decency sake we
suppress, is a strong beftever in a certain
model school of politics, and liko many
unfortunate individuals in that party was
led far astray from sound reasoning by
the boldly maintained fallacies and oily
