sociable as people ought to be ; but I can't
pet time to visit as much as I'd Tike to,and,
I declare, I believe this is tbe first time
r;,a were ever in our boose."
I wa'ked sLwly bome from Mrs. Wood's.
i.'T I was busily thitkiug. The fact is I
th: uil.t rather fast. We bad not been in
tbe vii'.age but a few weeks, and the bad al
ready called on us twice. That morning I
had rone up street on an errand, and it be
ing very warm, bad stopped in at Mrs.
Wood to rest a few moments. I bad not
asked her to our bouse, and was entirely
uccocscio s that we bad rtceived any slight
by Rer and her children Dwt Laving as yet,
Fpct tbe day with as, ouul she informed
n.e of the fact, atnid regrets and apologies.
We were rally in trouble about the unex
pected viit, not that 3Irs. Wood was at all
cr-ilva-act, but the ckHJrm I grew sick
a-1 thought of them, for they were a noisy
and cr.ru'y set.
EaHy Friday morning there cam? a knock
at tie front door that echoed over the whole
house. Trying to feel resinged, I opened
the door, i-ut it was w'ub utter despair that
1 dosed the door after Mrs. Wood and Sve
FxaTi children I took them to the sitting
r: Hi. but heartily wished afterwards that
t j sotue means we could have stumbled in
to the kitchen.
WJI, I ve got her at last," broke in
?lrs. Wood, as tbe deliberately laid aside
Ltr bonnet.
It is really too bad that I bave left it so
knr: but iI told Maggie the other day I
Lire been so very busy."'
We we-e scarcely seated when the child
ren emed to think some attention due
ti?:n.
"Motber I want a pieoe," yelled Charley,
tbe rtci.nd hopeful. '"So do I," said anoth
er. "And me, too," cbia,ed in a third.
'"Oh ! ":. -v : y a uin!y are not hun

r.uiric way.
"Ye. I sin. and I war,t a piece," replied
ClirVr. wjrh a defiant, impudent look.
"Well, then. ak Mircie right rretty to
f .t y.u a piece," said the mother, as the
jiAej up tLe crying la' y fVow the floor. I

-Irs. Wood now had the fronts cut, and
he ruessed fche could cut the backs
ith'.2t y pattern. I thought differently,
, tii not say so. Just then tbe baby
oed np, yelling so that I could not
word that the mother was saying,
3 1 heaved a heart-felt sigh as I saw my
orb box set down on the floor for its a
taseiaerit. I took occasion to need tome-
thing in ir, and took it from the baby. In J
a few minutes the mother asked where it j
was, but I pretended not to hear her. She j
then went to the door and called to tbe
children to coaie and play with the baby.
Two were in the cherry tree, and the oth
ers deep among the blackberry bnfhe?, and
from the looks cf their hinds and faces I
judged tbey had found plenty of fruit. I
sighed again as I thought of the jam I had
intended to make of the berries,and savage
ly wished the "dears" were under my con
trol for about fifteen minutes.
I went into the kitchen to light the fire in
the stove, and having got the dinner on the
way, went into the room for something, and
there the children were building a house of
stove wood which they had carried in from
the fcbed ; but it was rather more than I
could bear when I saw that Charley bad my
cloak wrapped around Lim and over his bead
as he sat on the floor playing "peep" wi'h
the baby it pnlHng at the tassel I forgot
everything there, and I know I took it from
him tnnch quicker than he put it on. I
was not aware at the time that I gripped
his arm so tightly as to warrrant afell, but
he indulged in one at any rate. I put the
cloak away aud retreated to the kitchen,
eaving my mother to entertain them as best
she could.
As oon as Mrs. Wood heard the rattle of
dishes she brought her work out into the
kitchen to watch us. I did not do a thing
but she aw it, and I only hope she will
know all about the way I work by the next
time she comes. Wr ile I w;nt to the cel
lar the children amned themselves by tast
ing what was on the table, so their mother
informed me when I came back, as though it
was something very smart.
At lat dinner was ready, and amid all the
noise and confusion we soon became seated
scarcely so, however, nntil three of the
"little dears" were helping themselves to
whatever they could reach. Then they
begun.
"Mother, I want some peas," "Mother,
give me a piece of meat," a though they
had not eaten anything for a week. Mrs.
Wood looked worried and excited, for my
part I fe't perfectly disgusted, and no doubt
looked the same. I cou'd scarcely refrain
from uttering a few words of h- artfelt thank
fulness when they left the table.
When I again joined our company, Mrs.
Wood had her cloak fitted together and re
quested me to act as a "form," while she
fitted it. I was all obedience, but could
scarcely snppre&s a smile, for it bad no
more fit about it than if it had been made
without a single seam. She in-inuateJ that
she wished I would sit down and take the
scissors and alter it for her ; but I bad no ;
such idea, I told ber the best I kntw
what to do, and went to my own work.
Just then one of the children came in with
some blocks. wi:L. which the baby conniienc
e.l pounding a chair, leaving a scar at every
How. Another oi e imitated a dru;uner
boy by beating on a cew tin pan which he
had taken doxn in the kitchen, and Charlie
smused hiiusvlf by scattering the pins Ofer
tbe 2oor out of tbe cushion. Mrs. Wood
looked at them and iaughed to see them en
joying themselves
My head ached badly, and every thump
and bcreatn from the children went through
and through it I gathered up tuy work
and went np stairs, thinking I'd have a
fjuiet time, for a little while, at least. Here
I found the other child overbading things
generally. After having satisfied himself
as to the contents of drawers and closets,
he had riddled a couple of "Waverleys."
This was about as ninch as humisn nature
could bear, and I could have spat.ked him
with a right good will, but contented myself
by stadias him down stairs much quicker
than he came np.
I laid down to rest my throbbing head a
few minutes, and the next I knew I awoke
from a long sleep. My head was better,and
I went down stairs. Tbe children were all
out playing, and their mother reading. The
cloak was folded up and put away. Then
supper had to be gone through with at
tended with even worse noise than at dinner.
The children all drank tea from the oldest
to the youngest ; and one bad too much
sugar in his, another not enough, third said
the tea was not good, and wanted coffee,
i which be did not get.) If Mrs. Wood
corrected any of them, they generally an
swered,"! won't do it," or "do it yourself.'
Then she rained her voice above all others,
and entertained us by telling about her cook
ery. I thought if all was true, she must
cook very differently for company and for
ber family, for I bad it from reliable sources
Lat she ocld never et a decent table;
and I thought, too, no wonder her children
acted starved abroad.
I never saw a much worse looking bonse
than when we left the table everything
scattered everywhere. 1 may a well avow
I am a little bit "old maidish," and it real
ly hurts my feelings to see things so much
but of order. I scarcely knew where to be
gin; but, finally, in the course of an hour,
succeeded in cleaning out roost of the rub
bish. Just at sunset Mrs. Wood gathered np
her work and babies and started borne, amid
many pressing invitations for us all to call
and see her.
It was with feelings of the greatest re
lief that I ekred tbe door after ber. and
turned again into the now quiet room. So
great was tbe reaction that I felt as though
I had just awakened from some terrible
dream, or had been rescued from a living
death, and I do hope and pray that I may
ever be spared the pleasure of being at borne
when Mrs. Wood and her children come ta j
spend the day,
Legal Advice.
A gentleman ordered a suit of dothes
from a tailor, and specially enjoined him
that they mnst be made by the next Tues
day, and that they must be made in the
finest style, and that unless the tailor could
have them ready to a 'certainty, beyond a
pu-adventure, to the day, that he most not
undertake ibeai ; but Snip promised faith
fully that they should be finished, ad diem.
Tuesday came, and no clothes ; the enraged
man few to the cabbage man's boose, and
said :
"What's the reason my clothes were not
ready, as you promised ! Here you have
kept me in the city at a loss of time and
business only to disappoint me ; now, if we
had you in our part of the country, I tell
you what they would call yoa, tbey would
say you were a perfect tqalrt."
The knight of the gooe exp!aiuel that
the only compeiant workman he had, capa
ble of making the suit, bad a wife lying at
death's door, and be could not posubly
leave her. The outraged gentleman was
not able to smother his disappointment, and
berated the tailor pretty soundly for failing
in his positive promise. The ninth fraction
of the genu Lcnao could not stand this, and
plainly told his cusUtmer to go to the caloric
regions of Pandemoniam.
Tbe customer, red with rage, rushed
across the street to a lawyer, and in an ex
cited and hurried manner said . "Do you
know Snipe, the tailor, across ths way?"
"Yes, I know him," answered Brief.
"Well, now, I want yonr advice," said
the gentleman, "I want to know what you
would do in such a case. That infamous
stitch-louse has not only kept me here in
the city on expense, to the great detriment
of my business, and disappointed me in a
suit of clothes, but when I went to remon
strate with the fellow about it, what do you
supt-ose the impudent rascal told me ? lie
told me to go to a hot place down below. "
With these words the gentleman laid a ten
dollar bill on the desk, and said, "Now what
would yoa do ?"
"Do you mean this for a retainer?" asked
Brief.
"I do," was the reply.
"Then," said brief, quietly folding np tbe
tea and putting it in his pocket, "he told
ou to go below. Well, my opinion and ad
vice to you is, don't do it. There is, more
over, no statute or local lawthat can com
pel jou to a specific performance. I say
don't you do it."
A Rem arkable Well. The excitement
at St. Louis, Gratiot county, Michigan,
over the remarkable well recently discover
ed in that place eon tinned unabated, and a
large number of individuals are seeking re
lief there from tbeir various diseases. Knife
blades held in tbe current for five minutes
becomes so charged with magnetism that
thiyreadi!y lift a tecpecy nail, and seem to
retain the power of attraction. Positive re
lief in cases of rheumatism has already been
secured in several instances. Another im
portant discovery has jast beeu made 1 y
Messrs. Patterson and ChrLtian, who no
ticed a place where the water had been con
ducted through a tin pipe, A portion of
the pipe had been cot on, and had ftilen to
the ground, where it was kept cou.-untly
wet by tbe flowing stream. On the surface
had -cumulated a galvanic coat of metal,
reserubling burnished gold. It was brought
to Lansing and tested by Trof. Crane, of
tbe Lansing Museum, and the substance
accaffiuiated upon the tin is stated to be
chloride of gold. The inference is that the
water holds this valuable metal in solution.
Abandoning as Oli Ctsroii. The
latest story o progress in llindostan has a
certain grim picturesquecess which is al
most humor. The great festival of Jug
gernaut was held at Serampore in July.
We all know what this used to be for is it
not in all the story-books and pictorial ge
ographies? tbe priests upon the platforms
of the huge cars dancing and shoutingi
hundreds of worshipers pulling at the ropes
and crary devotees flinging themselves be
neath the wheels. This year the crowd at
tracted by the spectacle was ' smalL The
cars were dragged a short distance, by hired
men, and then left half in a muddy ditch,
with the idols still in them, and the flags
flying. When the priests urged the people
to pull, the irreverent populace cried out.
"Why don't you come down and pull your
self?" Nobody was crushed, nobody was
hurt, and only three men got drunk.
Caffe or rRrKZN5Ess. In the Prole,
published at "the Sanitarium for Inebriates,
Media, IV, some new facts with regard to
the causes of inebriety are noted. One
third of the whole number cf patients in the
institution acquired a taste for strong drink
in the social circle ; the other two-thirds
became drunk from constitutional tenden
cies, inducing insanity in some, and reckless
disregard of moral obligations in others. Of
the first class, twenry-two were cored ; of
the second, only eight. Two-thirds of the
whole had the benefit of Christian and tem
perance training, while only twenty-three
had been neglected. From this it would
seem that the temperance question requires
to be considered in a variety of aspects, and
that almost every subject affecting human
interests deserves careful attention.
"Are those bells ringing for fire ?" in
quired Simon of Tiberias. 'N"o, indeed,"
answered Tibe, "they have plenty of fire,
and the bells are ringing for water."
The pursuit in which we cannot ask God's
protection must be criminal; the pleasure
for which we dare not thank him, cannot be
innocent. '
Correspondence. I
Coscobd Depot, Va., Aug. 30, 1569.
Editor Jottexal ; Dear Sir; In a
previous letter on the subject of Reconstruc
tion in Virginia, I promised to show
wherein I believed Congress made a mistake,
which will weigh greatly against the Repub
lican party and the loyal people of Virginia;
which I will attempt to do now.
In 1S6T an election was he'd in Virginia,
at which election al! registered voters in tbe
State were allowed to vote for or against a
convention to frame a Constitution for the
State of Virginia, and to vote for delegates
to said convention. This election was au
thorized by act of Congres. The rebels in
tended to treat the reconstruction acts with
silent contempt, by not registering or voting
at sail election. Tbey did not go to the
trouble and expense of canvassing the State
and making their plan, to defeat Congress,
known to the citixens ; but, through their
papers, advised all true Virginians to pay
no attention to what was going on in the
State. It was tbe determination of al'
rebels to deit-st tie Congressional plan of
reconstruction, and to this end all who did
not work on the above plan believed it to
be thMr duty to register and then vote
ag&iust the convention in order to defeat the
loyal people and the object cl Congress. In
this way the rebel party was divided, and
and the Union Republican party carried the
election and elected delegates to the con
vection. The convention met in Richmond
on the 3d of December, 1 8CT, and entered
upon the duty and work required of it by
the reconstruetson ai-ts. The dek-gates were
nominated and elected on account of princi
ples which they advocated, and promised to
incorporate into the Constitution in case
they were elected. After the constitution
was framed, the convention ordered that it
should be submitted to the vote of the State
for ratification or rejection, on Tuesday the
2d day of June, 1CS. This aiouscd the
rebels and set them to work in earnest.
They saw the nece6ity of a union of effort,
and set about organizing the party to oppose
the constitution, which would be adopted
unless they organized to reject it. When
their force was mustered up closely it was
evident the constitution would be rejected,
and in the face of thi fact the flection was
postponed. From the time tbe constitution
was passed by the convention lApril 17th,
ISC!), to April 10th. lt-63, the Virginians
used every means in their power to have it
rejected whenever it might be submitted to
the voteis. They were as determined iu
!So9todefjat the Reconstruction acts aj
tbey were in ltC7, bnt they would attempt
to get back iuto the Union wit h the State in
their own hands by deceiving Congress.
This they considered to be much better than
standing out in defiance of Congress. Their
plan to get control of the State, was to have
the disfranchising and .test oath clauses ex
cepted. Tbey could accept the constitution
without them knowing that the other pro
visions could be altered before taking effect.
A committee was, sent to Washington to as
sure Congress that the constitution would
be adopted, provided certain obnoxious
clauses were stricken oat About this time
a bill was passed, and approved on the 10th
of April. Zbb9. which gave the President
power to submit the constitution of Virginia
to the registered voters, and to submit to
a separate vote any clause or clauses he may
deem be.-t, &z. On the strength of this
bill, the rebels declared that Congress and
the Administration were opposed to the
two clauses submitted separately, and that
the Republican party were in opposition to
reconstruction, c The constitution as it
came from the Convention suited the entire
Republican party, and was the platform of
the party, though some of the party were
induced to oppose the separated clauses on
the ground that Congress considered them
unjust.
The Convention which framed the con
stitution, was a legal one, and performed
its duty well and to suit the party which it
represented ; and, therefore, the constitu
tion should have been submitted to the
voters as it came from the convention, and
been adopted or rejected in whole. If Con
gress designed the constitution to suit the
enemies of tbe coon try, it should bave al
lowed them to frame one to suit them, and
not give them a Republican constitution to
pervert and mangle. By this Act the only
loyal element in the State has been ignored
and condemned, and by this act the Repub
lican party was divided and greatly weak
ened in the State. But it has not only
made a mistake in authorizing the submis
sion of the constitution of Virginia to her
voters." Sec 6th, of the Act April 10th,
1 S6S, provides that the Legislature of Vir
ginia, Mississippi, and Texas shall ratify
the 15th amendment to the Constitution of
the United States before admission. By
what authority does Congress propose an
amendment to the Constitution of. the
United States and require some Legislatures
to ratify said amendment? If the ratifica
tion by a provisional Legislature is to be
counted to adopt tbe amendment, it should
have the right and power to reject it
After these States are admitted they will
claim the right to act on this 15th amend
ment again, and will of course, reject it if
tbey are admitted with such constitutions
as Virginia adopted lately. Then, if after
these States have rejected the amendment,
there should be only 27 ratifying States,
tbe rebels and the Democratic party will
appeal for a judicial decision ; and, accord
ing to the Constitution of the United States,
I think the amendment would be defeated.
If these three States are reconstructed as
tbey auouJd be, their Legislature will ratify
the loth uii.ccdEeLt wiihoat bcli:-renuired
to do so, and then the rebels cannot take ad
vantage of such action. The rebels in Vir
ginia control the Legislature at least they
elected a large majority of its members and
intend to ratify the amendment, in case
they get their seats, in order to gain admis
sion ; also to cause Congress to believe they
are loyal and acting in good faith. Every
loyal Legisaltnre in the Union will ratify it,
so, if Congress had not required those
Legislatures to ratify, they would have bad
a criterian by which to judge of the loyalty
of them. As it is they have stripped them
selves of every means of judging of the com
plexion of these three rebel States. I am
of the opinion that the provisions of the
last Reconstruction Act will deal a terrible
blow against the Republican party in 1 ?72,
if fully carried out. A. S.
A Cckio Sri i . The Marion county Dem
ocrat man has been shown a curiosity which
was found in a coal bank near Knoxville.
"It is a kettle, probably of iron or some
other hard substance, bnt from long rust
ing, it has become like stone. It ws en
cased in a bed of slate stone, just above the
coal bed, twenty six feet below the surfase.
There were three of these vessel together,
but two or them were broken in getting
them out of the stone bed with which they
were surrounded. They are of cone shape,
with a small knob on tbe cover. It is of
course impossible to say who placed these
vessels where they were found. Doubtless
persons thousands of years ago used them,
and time in its course has left these memen
toes of a forgotten people."
To Keep Ice From Melting. How to
preserve ice for a considerable length of
time for domestic purposes and especially
the sick room, is told by an exchange.
Make two bags of stout woolen fabric ; the
outer bag should be made at least two inches
wider each way than the inner one. After
placing one bag inside the other. stuff feath
ers between the two, and sew the bags to
gether at the top. Put a block of ice into a
bag of this description, and it will be pre
served for nearly a week, when under ex
pos ore, it will melt in less than an hour.
An "exquisite" young gentleman wishing
to make an impression upon a brilliant young
lady, wita a view to captivate her, present
ed her the following highly wrought eom
pliment,"Madame,there are just two things
in this world that I love which axe oysters
and champagne ; and I never see yon with
out thinking of them." To which the grate
ful lady responded, "Sir, there are just two
things in this world that I hate, which are
anirUh and potatoe, and I never see you
without thinking of them !"
"Stranger, will you try a hand with ns at
poker?" "Thank you, gentlemen, but there
are seventeen reasons why I cannot accom
modate you ju-t now." "Seventeen rea
sons for not playing cards ! Pray, what are
they?" "Why, the first is, I haven't any
money." "Stop that's enough ; nevermind
the other sixteen."
"Go to grass !" said a mother to ber
daughter.
"Weil, then, I suppose I'll have to mar

"vYhy so?" inquired the astonished
mother.
"Because all men are grass." The old
Ltdy survived.
We were amusad at hearing the story of
an old lady whoicuIy exclamation on hear
ing of the execution of a man who had once
lived ia the neighborhood, was, "Well, I
know'd he'd coaie to the gallows at last, for
the knot of his handkerchief was always
slipping round under his left ear."
A quack doctor advertises to this effect :
"Consumptives, cough while you can, for
after you have taken one bottle of my mix

take any of that stuff nntil we find out what
be means by the above rather equivecal ex
tract from his advertisement.
A young lady just graduated from an

Not less than ninety-five Protectant
