GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 13G3.
Great Litf.rauy asd Pictouial Year '.
Th publisher of Oodey'a Lady's Book, thank
ful to that public which has enabled him to pub
lish a magazine for the last 33 years of a larger
circulation than any 'n America, ha made an ar
rangement with the most popular authore-s in this
coonrry .Mahiojj J1ahlam. nuthcress of '-.Alone.
-Hidden Path," 'Moss Side," -Nemesis." and
Miriam." who will furni.sh a story for every num-
berof the Lady's Book for 180:1. This alofie will
place the Lady's Book in a literary point of view
far ahevd of any ot.-.er magazine. Marion llar
land writes for no ether publication. Our other
favorite writers will all continue to furnish arti
cles throughout the year.
Sirty-SirtA and Sixty-Seventh volumes of (5o
dey's Lady's Rook for 1S53, will contain nearly
l.'UM) pages of Reading matter, 21 pages of Muic,
12 Double Extension Colored Fashion Plates, equal
to 24 of other inagaxines. over 1200 wood engrav
ings. 14 steel engravings of beautiful subjects. "csO
articles by the best authors in America. And all
then will be given in ISM, at prices for which
see our extremely low club rates.
The oldest, the best, and the cheapest magazine
in America is the Godey's Lady's Book. The iiu-.
mense increase in the circulation of Godey (hav
- ing trebled itself in the last 4 years) is a convinc
ing proof of the superiority of the work, if the
work itself was not sufficient evidence. And when
it is considered that not a bribe in the shape of a
premium baa ever been offered, it shows that Go
dey'v Lady'a Book stands first in the hearts of A
meriean ladies, who subscribe for the sake of the
Bonk and not the premium. "
Th Literature of the Lady's Rook "i by the first
writers in America, and ha always been, remark--able
for its high literary and moral character.
Clergymen recommend the Book, anj it ean be
read aloud in the family circle. ' The matter is far
superior to that of any other magazine, having a
bea'tby and instructive tone.
Eight Specialities that no other magazine has,
and only found in Godey, towit: '-Original Mu
sic," "Model Cottages, with diagrams." "Krawing
Lejsons." Oririnal Health Department." "Chil
dren's Department," ' Chemistry for the Young,"
-Horticultural Department," anil ' Double Exten
inn Fashion-plates" (Jodey's great speciality,
unparalleled and unapproauhed. Competition
dead in this department. Our imitators have a

Of Steel engravings, the press have unanimous
ly pronounced Uodey's the best ever published by
any magazine of the world. You may look in
vain for 14 such steel engravings as were publish
ed during the year 1362. and those for lb63 will
surpass them. Other magazines do not go to the
expense of original designs for their steel enirrav-
ings. The Double Fashion-plate has from 6 to 7 j
icngm lagmons on each plate. Other maga
zines give but two. Godey is the only work in the
world that gives these immense plates, which cost
Slu.OOuuiore than the old style. These fashions
may be relied on as correct. They are always
tu latest styles, and hence ladies are not subject
to ridicule for wearing old fashions, when they

A MOTHER'S LOVE.
A mothee's love ! how sweet to read
Its tender language in her eyes;
It falls upon the heart like dew
';' The flowers receive from pitying skies. -
Eoft as the zephyr's balmy sigh, '..
Its accents fall upon the ear
In strains of spirit minstrelsy, -
Like angel-whisperings fond and dear.
Though sin should stamp our brow with guilt,
Yet blessings on her gentle head !
Her love were told in every sigh,
In every tear her sorrow shed .
Yes 'tie a balm for every ill,
The sweetest boon from courts above ; ,
And life were dark indeed, without
The sunshine of a mother's love.
LOYAL SOUTHERNERS SPEAKING.
At a meeting of Southern exiles at the Coo
per Institute in N"ew York, on Saturday even
ing, October 25th, there was some strong and
earnest speaking. M"e have only room for a
few brief extracts.
Among the resolutions adopted was the fol
lowing : '-Resolved, 1. That we regard tho
Confiscation act and the President's Emanci
pation Proclamation as eminently just and
constitutional measures, which should be
stein ly enforced."
Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, said
"I intend to contiibute my humble efforts
to pull Slavery up by the last roots. Cheers,
loud and continued. I know that Slavery

Good." I take my position on the side of
my race. I demand liberty for my children
even at tho. expense of negro Slavery. If the
whole planet of the eartb, and all the other
planets of the universe were crowded with ne
groes under similar circumstances as those in
the South, I would strike the manacles from
c.cij Biate. iLiounu cneenng.j l lie man
who attempts to delude you to-night with any,
arguments in favor of the distracting influ
ence of Slavery to this war is an imbecile, a
fool, or an incipient traitor- Great cheering.
1 tell you that tbe non-slaveholders of tho
South never will be free again till the last ne
gro has been ' swept from the condition of
bondage. Applause.; We, therefore, again
spurn the sympathy of any man who talks about
the Union as it teas, if he means to say that we
are to go back to the condition that preceded
this Revolution.' .
Mr. T. J . BorNTojr, of Florida, was the next
speaker. We take a single point :
Just a word about the Proclamation. We
accept it as the conclusion ol the inscrutable,
irrefragable, and inexorable logic of events.
Applause. We would guard the Constitu
tion, and to do so most effectually we would
save the nation. Does not the spirit of the
Constitution abide in the body of the nation?
Do souls remain on earth alter bodies are
dead ? Save the nation if you would save the
Constitution. Das the President shown haste
to exercise doubtful powers? Did he not for
a long time propose to save the Government
and Slavery too 1 Does he not uow propose
to do no if" the rebels will lay doun their arms
Is it uot lawful to save the nation at any ex
pense 1 Is there any phrase in the Constitu
tion which can be tortured into intending that
rebel soldiers have a right to be supported by
slaves or anybody else f If it is lawful to
shoot rebels In the field, is if less so to kick
from under them the prop which supports
them in the field?" .
Kev. Mr.HoTE, ot Mississippi, said :
With regard to this proclamation, about
which we have , heard so much, I believe it is
right , and for these reasons : When I was a-
mone the soldiers of the rebel armv. I found

ed this question : " Will the slaves make good'

Let me tell you that the slaves are more intel
ligent than the poor whites in the South
Why I went into a house not three month
ago, and there was a lady belonging to thi
class of sand-hillers, and I remarked, by way
of passing my time, as I was waiting for he
husband, that there was a picture of the Pres
idenfs. "Yes," said she ; "them's the pic
ters of the Presidents, and some of 'em must
be gittin' mighty old by this time, if they
ain't dead." Prolonged laughter. , I re
marked, in addition, that that one at the head
was Gen. Washington. "Yes," said she
"I've hecrn of htm ever since I was a gal ; I
wonder if he's dead yet." I told her that I
bad seen an account of bis death In tbe papers
Continued laughter. There were two fami
lies in Tishatningo county who were going to
move, one to Texas and the other to Atkan
sas : but the wife ot tbe icxas man wanted to
go to Arkansas, and the wife ot the Arkansas
man wanted to go to Texas. The men were
out bunting one day, and were thinking about
it, and at lat they agreed that to trade would
be a good plan. Laughter and applause.
As I am relating the matter just as it occur
red, 1 shall have to relate the express word
One of tho women was old, and the 'other was
young. "Neott" said one, "if you had an old
mar' and I had a young filly, you wouldn't
want to trade, even, would ye ?" Great
laughter. The other agreed, with him, and
so they compromised the matter, by the one
who possessed tbe old wife giving a double-
barreled shot gun and eighteen dollars to
boot, riepail the eighteen dollars, however,
in coonskins, and things of that sort. Now,
this is the condition of the poor whites in that
vicinity. The slave-holders rule them. Thero
is one thing that they complain of bitterly,
and that is this they are compelled to pa
trole the country to keep down insurrections
of the negroes. . . . . ' . Then there is
the question about whether the negroes will
fight against their masters. The negroes are
a very kind peoph, and they are possessed of
a very great deal of piety indeed, I believe
that the jeal piety of . the tauth is ensconsed
in the bosom of tbd slave population oftTiat
country and they would not wish to destroy
their masters, however they might abuse or
whip them. But every man in the South is
not the master of every specific negro in the
South ; that negro would not fight against his
master, but he would fight against every other
master in the South. I have relatives in the
South ; I unfortunately have three brothers
in-law officers in the rebel army. If I knew I
was aiming at one ol them, I would not shoot;
but I would fight willingly, and if in fighting
I should kill one of them, I should do it w ith
a good conscience. I have been asked Will
there be insurrect ions 1 I say not, fo long as
tho negroes can run away ; so long as they
cn run ana ana protection, mere will be no
i . . - . .
insurrections. But there is great alarm in
the South through fear that there will be In
surrections. I attended the Synod of Missis
sippi, in October last, at Natchez, and I was
told that fifteen negroes bad been hanged there
for lear of insurrection. Others said it was
nut true, and that they were hanged upon ir
responsible statements of irresponsible per
sons. While I was in Macon last summer six
negroes were executed, aud one was burned
in the streets. When I was at that Presbyte
rian Synod, I preached to a large congrega
tion of slaves ; it was the largest congregation
I ever spoke to in my life. With one excep
tion, that of the minister who sat beside me,
they were all slaves, -yet one-third of them
were whiter than I am ; so that Slavery is not
confined to color, because you often see red-
haired and blue-eyed' slaves. Another ques
tion is, will they come North ? I would re
ply to this, that if Freedom is proclaimed
South, they will not come North, because
they love freedom, but they bate Iabar. They
would prefer to go South. I saw a certain
suggestion in the papers to give them the
State of Florida. I was glad to see it; let
them have that beautiful territory of Ponce
de Leon, so graphically alluded to."
We infer, from what Mr. Hoye says, that he
has traveled extensively, and mingled with all
classes of that strange, castle-divided society.
Tbe following extract is the only allusion he
makes to personal outrages :
"The only other question I have been ask
ed is this: Will there be harmony of feeling
between the Southern and Northern States
hereafter ? I say there will not so long as this
institution of slavery exists. But let that In
st ution be eradicated, and there is no obsta
cle to harmony. Thi-re is no feeling of re
sentment between the Maineites and Missis
sippians which may not pass away, and as for
the loyal Mississippians, they demand the pro
tection oT the Star-Spangled Banner, antl have
reasons to detest tbe protection of tbe Stars
and Bars, as my poor discolored ankles now
testify."
After the Southern gentlemen were through,
the resolutions 'adopted, and the meeting a
bont to adjourn, Horace Greeley was ob
served' and loudly called for. " He made a
brief and forcible '"speech, and closed by pro
posing ; ' ' '
"That the thanks Of this meeting be tender
ed to the Union martyrs and heroes from tbe
South who have addressed os to-night, with
tbe assurance that their cause is our caose
and that the arms of the Republic shall never
be grounded nntil justice is done for them and
upon their enemies." Loud and long con
tinned applause.
The resolution was enthusiastically adopt
ed, and with three cheers for the President';
Proclamation and the loyal men of the South
the meeting dispersed. Every speaker strong
ly and unequivocally gave his approbation to
the Proclamation, not as an exWienf meas
nre merely, but as a great necessity abso
lutely essential to the preservation of the gov
ernment and the resf oration of the Union.
A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A Baltimore correspondent of the Cincin
nati Gazette narrates -the following hospital
scene, which occurred during the late visit o
the President to the Maryland battle-field :
Passing through one of hospitals devoted
exclusively to Confederate sick and wonnded
1 resident Lincoln's attention was drawn to a
young Georgian a fine, noble looking youth
stretched upon an humble cot. He was pale
emaciated and anxious, far from kindred and
home, vibrating, as it were, between life and
death. Every stranger that eutered caugh
his restless eyes, in hope of their being some
relative or friend.
President Lincoln observing this youthful
soldier, approached and spoke, asking him i
he suffered much pain. "I do," w'as the re
ply. "I have lost a leg and feel I am sinking
from exhaustion."
;vYould you," said Mr. Lincoln, "shake
hands wifh me, if I were to tell you who I
am ?., The responce was affirmative. -'There
should," remarked the young Georgian, "be
no enemies in this place." "Then," said the
distinguished visitor, "lam Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States." '
The young sufferer raised his head, looking
amazed, and freely extended his' hand which
Mr. Lincoln took and pressed tenderly forsome
time. There followed an instinctive pause.
j ne wounuea oonteaerate s eyes melted into
tears, his lips quivered and his heart beat full.
President Lincoln bent over ' him motionless
and dumb;1 Ilis eyes,; too, were ( overflow ing
thus giving utterance to emotions' far beyond
the power of language to described Perhaps
he thought of tbut young man's mother,' his
father, his sisters and brothers,' who were yet
unconscious of his sad fate. He regretted,
doubtless as did the unfortunate youth, neces
sities which had caused so much anguish,'
wLiLjt the sufferer yielded to the higherattrib
ute of humanity that overlooks all former ene
mies. It was a most touching scene. Not a
dry eye was present.
Silence was subsequently broken by a kind.
conciliatory conversation between the Presi
dent and this young Confederate, when they
parted, there being. but slim hopes of the lat
ter s recovery.
In no place, and under no other circumstan
ces, do the forgiving, the more God-like qual
ities of our nature, appear so admirable, so
redeeming, as in these hospitals, where friend
and foe, prostrated by wounds, lie side by
side together", suffering, perchance, from the
very injuries inflicted by each other. When
the strong man is brought low, he forgets his
strength, extending the hand ot lriendship,
where, when well, and in fierce antagonism,
the same hand relentlessly deals out slaughter
ami death. It affords a striking commentary
npon the contrast between enmity and forgive
ness the harshness of one and the gentleness
of the other, as also those qualities in man
from which they spring.
Siesce in Russia. In St. Petersburg there is
a building of vast dimensions, devoted to
the use ot the Academy of Sciences. This
academy once enjoyed the labors of Enter, who
consistituted the whole of its matbamatical
department, and composed more than half the
treatises in this branch of science, which are
contained in fotty-six quarto volumes, pub
lished from 1727 to 1782. This academy was
founded by Peter the Great in 1725, and, un
der the influence of foreign professors, it has
acquired a European reputation. It has a li
brary of more than one hundred thousand
volumns, and an extensive collection of man
uscripts, some of which "are of great val-ie.
n tbe museum of natural history there is a
skeleton of a remarkable mammoth, well pre
served, only a single loot being deficient. It j
issixteen feet longwitbout including the tusks,
nd nine feet high. - The skeleton of a com
mon elephant by tbe side of it appears small
in comparison. Tbe monster to which this
frame belonged was found in Sibera in I8O3,
on tbe banks of a stream in latitude of seven
ty degrees north. ,
A Modern Rip Vas Wiskle. A" lumber
man from up the Yazoo river, Miss., recently
came on board the United States gunboat
Benton who had never beard of the secession
roubles. He had been in gum swamps for
lour years; during a large-portion of the time
be had not seen a single human being When
he met onr gunboats and beard of ' the war ne
was much astonished as may well be: suppo
sed. He was on his way to Vicksburg to sell
bis lumber. , ,..? ',:..'.!..-: i-.u. v.x

perhaps, would accept If they were asked be-

rBEIR PECCIIARITIES. .-1 c
There is a continual enmity among animals ;
they are continually attacking and pursuing
each other; every element is a field of battle
for them ; the eagle is tbe terror of the inhab
tants of tbe air; the tiger Uvea upon the earth
by carnage ; tbe pike in the waters ; and the
mole under the ground. It is the want of
food which induces these, and many oth
er species of animals to destroy one anoth
er. But there are.-omo creatures whose ha
tred of each other does not proceed Irom the
same source. Those animals which entwine
themselves around the elephant's trunk, and
press it till they have suffocated him, do not
act so with the design of" procuring food.
When the ermine leaps upon, and lays hold of,
the ear of the bear ; and elk, and bites them
w ith his sharp teeth, we cannot affirm that this
is done to satisfy the call of hunger. - There
is scarcely any creature, however smal!,wbich
does not serve for food to some other animal.
I know that many people think that this ar
rangement is cruel and , unnecessary, but I
can with confidence assert, that even this an
tipathy and enmity among animals", is a proof
that everything is wisely ordered. If we con
sider animals, in the whole, wo shall find that
it is highly useful that some should subsist
upon others; lor while, without this arrange
ment of Nature, many species could uot ex
ist ; so, ulso, these numerous species, instead
01 oeing prejudicial . are extremely useful
insects aua many reptiles feud on carrion
others establish themselves in the bodies of
certain auimaU, and live upon their flli and
blood; and these insects themselves serve as
food for other creatures. , Canii verous an
mals and birds of prey kill and f ed upon oth
er animals. Some specieS multiply so abun
dantly, that they would become burdensome i
their numbers were not diminished. If there
were no sparrows todestroy insects, what would
become of the flowers and fruits? Withou
the ichneumon, which seeks out and destroy
the crocodile's eggs, this terrible animal would
increase to an uUrmlng degree. A creat nor
tion of the earth would be a desert, and many
creatures would not exist, if there were no
carniverous animals. It will perhaps be urg
ea mat mey migut live upon vegetables, bu
if this were the case, cur fields would scarce
ly aflord subsistence for sparrows and swal
lows;" and the structure of carniverous animals
must- have been quite different from what it
now is; and 11, fish, did not live npon the in
habitants of the water, how would they be able
to exist ? Besides, if the wars amonz animals
were to cease, they would '.ose much of their
vivacity and industry, thr creation would be
less animad. aud nianr bimsetf would loso
much of his activity. r We may also add that
we should be deprived of many striking proofs
of God's wisdom, if universal peace was to
prevail, among animals; for the address: sa
gacity and wonderful instinct which they use
in laying snares Tor and surprising their prey,
very evidently manifest the wisdom of the
Creator. ' So far then is the enmity which ex
ists among animals from darkening tha wis

additional brilliancy from what superficial ob
servers ininK an imperiection. It forms part
of the plan of the great system of Nature, that
one animal snouia persecute and teed udob
another. We . might indeed comolain of this
arrangement, it it occasioned the entire de
struction of any one species, but this never
happens, and tbe continual wars among ani
mals preserve a proper balance between them.
lhus carniverous animals are indispensable
links in the chain of beings: and on this ac
count their nnmber is very small, compared
wiiu mat 01 useiul animals. We may also re
mark that the strongest and fiercest animals
have commonly the least sense and cunnin.
They either mutually destroy each other, or
tneir young ones serve as food for other
boasts. Hence also Nature has granted to the
weakest species so much industry and means
of defence. They possess instinct, acuteness
ot sense, quickness, skill and sagacity suffi
cient to counterbalance the strength of their
enemies., can any one, then, behold this
without acknowledging the infinite wisdom
of the Creator, and confessing Siat this state
01 warfare, which at first seems so strange, is,

why these hostilities anioug animals are ne

why men, whose nature : is so much more no

divisions so destructive to their race. To the
disgrace of humanity, and the eternal disgrace

and destroy each other with more savage bar

Surely man was designed to render himself

these merciful ; designs of our blessed Lord,
but endeavor to live in that peace and harmo
ny which becomes the children of God. and
followers of an hnmhle and crucified Savior;
leaving animals, which are destitute of reason,
to quarrel, fight, persecute and destroy one
another ; while we live in charity with all men,
doing good unto all men, doing unto others as
we would that tbey should do unto us.

The following is an extract from a' letter
written by Gen.-W. S. Re-seeransj at the head
quarters of the army of the Mississippi; July
20th, 1862. Gen.- Rosecrans is a Catholic,
and a devout believer in the testimony 'of
Gregory XVI, concerning tbe "hatefulness
and wickedness of hnman slavery '.' Gen. R.
says: . . ; ; . : .1. U .::: ; . 1. :.
"For more than a year we have been' enga
ged In this struggle, into which an arrogant
and dictatorial slave oligarchy baa driven a
free, happy and peaceful people, fighting for
the rights of all. With' true bravery and in
vincible . patience our citizen soldiers' have
stood on this ground to the present moment,
against violators of the laws of war and hu
manity. Remaining true to their principles,
they have said by words and actions lo their
fellow-citizens in the South, we fight for com
mon rights. : If we win, you win. . If the Gov
ernrcent is maintained, you will dwell under
its protecting shadow as freely as we. And
there we stand, and thus we say to-day. -
But if the confederates . prevail, farewell
peace and safety to us ; farewell freedom, tor
evcr 1 Their principles and leaders are known
to us.l They cheated ns, crying out no coer
cion; holding out false hopes and deceitful
assurances of friendly regard, while assassin
like, they were preparing to destroy otfr ' gov
ernment, and, reduce us to anarchy or servi
tude. . Tbe past year's experience renders It
certain that if they triumph, blood and deso
lation, flro and sword, or arbitrary subjection
to their will, awaits, every white man who ha
manhood enough to dislike their system of slavery,
toleruble only as a cruel necessity, but as a prin
ciple hatt'ful to God and man. :, " . i - .
They wilr omi t no means, honest or dishon
est, to insure success. Misrepresenting.Jca
lumniating our motives, ridiculing our honest
efforts to mitigate the horrors ol war, and in
flaming the passions of tbe popnlace by low
epithets are among tbe milder and more or
dinary means resorted to by this pseudo
"chivalry," the meanest aristocracy thai ever
stood at t he head Of a civilized society."
The Effect of the President's Proclama
tion. Gen. Prentiss expresses himself in pri
vate even more' strongly than in public, as
regards the effect Of the Proclamation upon
the Uuion prisoners. Every man, he says,
including the slavetiolding officers of the Mis
souri regiments, welcome the President's edict
of freedom as the door to victory. Their
criticism upon it .'was that it rather lagged
behind than outran the necessities of the times.
They would have had the emancipation gen
eral, and the decree immediate. The effect
of the Proclamation upon . the South was un
mistakable. The rebels, in all their conver
sations, allude to it in a manner indicating
that it was tbe one thing they dreaded. Tho
negroes were being driven into the interior for
safety. At Petersburg, large numbers wero
congregated, a thousand in one pen,, crowded
together like cattle in the shambles. The
atmostpbere of. the streets was charged with
theodor of this sickening mass of humanity.,
