LET THE SUNSHINE IN
Draw lir.ck tiie curUiin, iiiother,
Lot ths genial sunshine h
Upon the walls and carpet,
Where the winter's gloom has bean ;
It brings a tale ofgladae.ss
Of wild liowers in the wood,
"Where late the haughty snovT kins
With his ileecy garments stood.
Open the shutter?, mother,
L-Jt tie pleasant gunhine in,
For it give. a glow of beauty
To your face so pale and thin.
It telis tf violets, mother,
Growing wht-re my Lrother lies
Of daisies and of Luttercups,
'Neath far-off Southern bkies.
They say that he was wounded
lit the tierc2 and bloody strife,
"Whcuthe field was r:'d with .slaughter
And the air with "Victory !".iiie.
Let the sunshine in, mother
For it fills the earth and ."kie.,
And hovcr.-i o'er the lattle-fiell
Where dear, brave broker lies.
Let the sunshine in, deir mother,
LTpon our Iiumhle floor
Let it come in at the window,
And at the open door ;
It tells of sjuinpr returning,
Yith her wild birds and her showers,
Covering all the hills and valleys
With a thoiuaui various Howers.
Let the sunshino in there's beauty
In its golden, warming beams
It tell-i of mo.y rivulets,
And silvery mountain streams,
Where theeiru and maple braiiche3
Svay their green bud- in the? air,
And thesangs of breeze and waters
Fill tho woodlands everywhere.
Let the sunshine in I love It
More than miser') glittering gold
Shining in his secret coffers,
And for whu-h Ids life i-ssold ;
It pives that which is dearer
Lifj and health and joy and case ;
And he can never purchase
With his coiden treasrue these.
Home and rilother.
Home where father and mother, broth
ers and f liters, have a unity of interest,
sympathy aed affection becomes in mature
life the most sacred picture
"That hangs on memory's walls."
In after years when the destroying angel
has crossed the household and silenced its
familiar voice3 in theirdeaih, when the hand
of changing time ha3 torn down the wood
bines that climbed above its portals and its
windows, and when its paths echo only the
tread of the strangers feet ; how often does
remembrance lead us back to its saercd pre
cinct?, and makcus realize that the home of
childhood is the briglitast spot, the fairest
oasis on the desert of l.fe. It is during th?se
moments of retrospection that the religion
instructions of youth flow back upon the
soul. It i3 then that we kneel by the side of
her,
"Whose breast with gentle billow
Rocked to re.-t our infant woes,"
And lisp over the prayers she taught u?.
Poetry lias encircled the name of "mother"
with halos of beauty, but its language will
never be adequate to measure her influence.
To her the first years of our lives belong,
and it is then in her power to plant seeds of
virtue that will bud and LIos.om in the soul
when age has pillowed deep furrows in our
pale cheeks. The praj-ers of a pious moth
er are a priceless legacy. They arc like the
dews of heaven, which first ascend from the
earth to the skie., and then descend again
to bless and revive the unfolding plant. In
fidelity may array itself against the Bible,
and its clamors may be loud among the as
semblies of men, bit it has not the courage
to enter tho sanctuary of a religious home,
and there listen to the earnest prayers of a
holy mother, as she points her children to
the throne of God.
Good Advice. Girls, let U3 tell you a
stubborn truth ! No young woman ever looks
so well to a S2nsible yourg man, as when
dressed in a plain, neat, modest attire with
out a single ornament about her person. She
looks then as though she possessed worth in
herself, and necdoi no artificial rigging to
enhance her value. If a young woman would
spend so much time in cultivating her mind,
training her tamper, and cherishing kind
ne3 , lueeknes?, mercy, and other good qual
kiji, as most of them do in extra dress and
ornaments, to increase their personal charms,
she would, at a glance, be known among s
thousand her character would be read in
har countenance. That's so I
JCS?" A country girl, from the field, was
told by her cousin that she looked .as fresh
33 a daisy kissed with the dew. "Well, it
wasn't any fellow of that nama, but Bill
Jones that kissed me ; confound his pictures I
I told him everybody would find it onf."
BURG, COLUM BIA
The Natural History of Brides.
We have besn favored with natural histo
ries of nun, of bird.s and beasts, of thi
world, but no one has jet essayed the history
-of that indispensable creature, the bride.
We propose in this article to attempt to
show how the vaceum caused by the short
comings of authors may be supplied by some
enterprising Bohemian
A bride is the culmination of a mother's
anxiety and the commencement of a hus
band's serious refijetiens. A mother looks
upon her daughter arrayed as a bride, a3 an
arrow shot from her household quiver at
that butt of female archery, man; and, if
the arrow ha3 made a fair hit, is prone to
chuckle over the shot as showing forth her
superior matronly skill. If, on the contrarj',
the success is doubtful, then the mother,
like a bad archer, blames the arrow, the
luck, anything, indeed, but her own bad
management.
Brides are divide! into numerous classes.
For example : sentimental brides, who mar
ry for love ; speculative brides who marry
for money ;' anxious brides, who marry for
the sake of being married ; accommodating
brides, who marry because their lovers asked
them to many ; unresisting brides, who
marry because their friends desire them to
marry; inquisitive brides, who marry for
curiosity, and invalid brides, who marry to
restore their health. '
Sentimental brides are the most numer
ous, but not the mot happy of the orange-
wreathed tribe. They are generally young
creatures, who revel in poetical dreams con
nected with the wearer of a love of a mous
tache, or the possessor of a handsome nose,
or cxpre.sive eyes, or an animated doll, who
can make pretty little speeches, graceful
bows, or sing a pretty little song. She takes
great pride unto herself because she married
Charlie for his own dear self, and not for j
his surroundings unaware that a man's po- i
sitioii hf society, his, friends and even his
wealth or poverty is as much a part of him- j
self total as the curl of his hair, tho song
he sings, the strut lie affects, or even his
education. She generally finds, when the
song is less brilliantly sung, the mustache
requires Christadora, the head a wig, . and
the. poetical speeches are turned into matter-of-fact
imperatives, that the varni.-h is rub
bed off, the gloss removed, and Charlie is
not the man he used to be.
Tho money bride has made herself an ar
ticle of merchandise, and is to be valued
according to the price she obtains for her
self. She lehyngs to every condition of so
ciety, from her who marries for social posi
tion, horses and carriages, diamond-, houses
and a bank account, to the work -girl who
marries a one-room hone, anl the privilege
of only half-starvingon her husband's weekly
pittance. She genrally reaches the conclu
sion that she has sold herself too cheap.
The healch-sceking bride lookj on the
marriage service as a medical prescription
the parson as a doctor, and the husband as
the bolus administered for her ills a bluc
pill that must be swallowed, however nau
seous. She knows that she is travelling on
the road to death, jet clinging to life, en
deavors to throw her burden on her lord.
Flying from the embraces of the wo;m, rhe
is compelled to accept tho e of the Liil--groom.
She meieiy piei'ers the ma-.r-ac
chamber to the narrow hou. e appointed i'or
II living. The honeymoon shines through
pothecary bottles, wiJ the epithalmium is
ou::hed in wheezy periods.

Ihe purchasing bride is generally an old
maid or widow, who, despairing of being
courted for her own sake, seeks a husband
through the medium cf her pecuniary
charnis. She generally lets every one know
after marriage, that she keeps the purse
strings in her cwn hands, and the 3oung
man for this ciass generally succeeded in
obtaining young men whom she had suc
ceeded in eutrapping is highly and everlast
ingly indebted to her. ri he experience of
such is usually the conclusion that they have
paid too dearly for their whistle.
The husband desiring bride is, perhaps,
the most composed of all brides, the least
enthusiastic, and the most likely to be hap
ihe marries because it is instinct with
her, not because she is particularly m love.
So she is not apt to be troubled with the
pangs of jealousy, or to suffer from disap
pointment, when she discovers that the
bridegroom s not much better than the av
erage of men after all. She goes through
the days of courtship as a matter of course ;
wonders at the whims and caprices of tf nti
mental girls ; receives and accepts the offer
of marriage as a matter of course ; dons the
bridal a' tire, and goes through the whole
.ormula of wedding, ceremonies, and un
ceremonics, as a matter of course; per
forms all the duties, and submits to all the
little vexations of married life as a matter
of course ; lives a serene, orderly and qu'et
life, and dies respected and regretted by all
who knew her, as a matter of course.
We give the above few cases as sample
of what might be doue in the matter o.
writing up a" natural history of brides.
Each particular class could be elaborated to
the extent of at least one chapter. Of
course, with our limited space, we can only
refer to a few cases, and that in very brief
terms. Wc hope some writer possessing
sufficient ability may take the matter up,
and give ns a work upon the subject
A servant girl, on leaving her place,
was aceoated by her .master as to her leaving.
"Mhtrcss is o quick-tempered that I can
not live with her," said the girl. "Well,"
said trie gentleman, "you kuowit is no soon

An Editorial Hillflicker in Ar
kansas.
Did you ever pass through a corn field
where cockles had been allowed to goto seed,
or travel throngh a burdock patch ? If so,
j'ou have emerged upon the beaten path or
hard road, with hund.eds of little pointed
seeds of a pestiferous weed clinging to your
garment--, or mase3 of burs sticking'o them.
Thus the South has emerged from the
smoke of battle, the fiery trial of war, the
blood and havoc of a terrible civil strife, to
find that here and there a pestilent and mis
chief making wretch has located in its bord
ers to rekindle the flame of passion, re-open
the fast healing wounds, and play traitor to
the interests and thoughts of its people.
Generally they are to be found on the out
skirts of the Statea or sheltering beneath
the power of some odious and hated mon
ster, like Brownlow, pandering to the beast
liness of the loathed and abhorred wretch,
while filling their own purses.
There are a few men of this description
publishing newspapers at the South, gener
ally characterless and worthies devils, who
hope in prospective martyrdom to reap the
same financial success which once crowned
Parson Brownlow's little experiment in that
line.
One of this sort has come under our no
tice lately, his name is V. Dell, which rhymes
nicely with "hot hell" and his location Fort
Smith, Ark. wherehc is publishing the Xtic
Era. He is a red-headed Dutchman, who
like Shurz, the heroic platterheaded blun

Unfortunate Vert. A young medical
student from Michigan,, who had been at
tending lectures in New York for some time,
and who considered himself exceedingly
good looking and fasinating, made a deadly
onset on the heart and fortune of a bloom
ing young lady in the same family with him.
After a prolonged siege the lady surrender
ed. They were married on Wednesday morn
ing. The same afternoon the young wife
sent for and exhibited to the astonished stu
dent a "beautiful"' little daughter, aged
three years and a half.
"Good heavens! then you was a wid
ow?" exclaimed the student.
"Yes, my dear aad this is Amelia, my
youngest : to-morrow, Augustus, James and
Reuben will arrive from the countrj-, and
then 1 shall see my children together once
more."
The unhappy student replied not a word ;
his feelings weie to deep for utterance. The
"other little darlings" arrived. Reuben was
six years, James nine, and Augustus a saucy
boy of twelve. They were del ghted to hear
that they had a new papa, because they could
now live at home, and have all the play
things they wanted. The "new papa" as
soon as he could speak, remarked that Au
gustus and James did not much resemble
Reuben and Amelia.
-Well, no," said the happy mother ; 'my
first husband was quite a different style of
man from my second complexion temper
ament, the color of hair and eyes- all dif
ferent." This was too much. He had not only
married a widow, Lutwas her third husban 1.
and the astonished stepfather of four chil
dren. ,
But the fortune, thought he ; that will
make amends. He spoke of her fortune.
"There arc my treasures," said she, in th e
Roman matron style, poiuting to her chil
dren. The conceit was quite out of the Michi
gander, who, finding that he made a com
plete goose of himself, retired to a farm in
his own native State, where he could have a
chance of making "his" boys useful, and
mbke them sweat for the deceit practiced

" When I was six years old," says a well
known merchant, " my father died, leaving
nothing to my mother but the charge of my
self and two young sisters. After selling
tho greater part of the household furniture,
she took two small rooms in 31" street,
and there, by her needle, contrived in some
way how I cannot tell, when I recollect the
little money for which she worked -to sup
port us in comfort. Frequently, however, I
remember that our supper was simply a slice
of bread, seasoned by hunger, and made in
viting by the neat manner in which our
meal was served, our table always being
spread with a cloth which, like my good
mother's heart, seemed ever to preserve a
snow-white purity."
Wiping his eyes, the merchant continued:
" Speaking of those days reminds me of
the time we sat down to the table one eve
ning, and my mother having asked the
blessing of our Heavenly Father on her
little defeneelcss ones, in tones of tenderness
that I remember yet, she divided the rem
nant of our on'y loaf into three pieces, plac
ing one on c ach of our plates, but reserving
none for herself. I stole around to her, and
was about to tell her that I was not hungr',
when a flood of tears burst from her eyes,
and she cla-ped me to her bosom.
"Our meal was left untouched ; we sat
up late that night, and what we said I can
not tell. I know that my mother talked to
me more as a companion than a child.
When we knelt down to pray, I gave my
self up to be the Lord's, and to serve my
mother.
"But," said he, "thi3 is not telling you
how neatness made my fortune. It was
some time after this that my mother found
an advertisement in the newspaper for an
errand boy in a commission house in B
street.
" Without being needful to wait to have
my clothe3 mended, for my mother always
kept them in good order, an! although on
close inspection, they bore traces of more
than one patch, yet on the whole they look
ed very neat ; without waiting to arrange
mjT hair, or clean my shoes, for I was obliged
to observe, from my earliest 3'ouih, the most
perfect neatness in every respect, my mother
sent me to see if I could ob:ain-the situation.
With a light step I started, for I had long
wished my mother to allow me to do some
thing to assist her.
" My heart beat fast, I assure you, as I
turned out of M-
into B-
street, and
male my way along to the number nij" moth
er had given me. I summoned all the cour
age I could muster, and stepped briskly into
the ware-house, and found my way into the
counting house and made known the object
of my calling. The merchant smiled and
told me there was another boy who hal
come a little before me, who he thought he
should engage. However, he asked me
some questions, and went out and talked
with the other bo-, who stood in the back
part of the-fnce.
"The result was, the lad was dismissed,
and I entered the merchant's employment,
first as an errand boy, then as a clerk, after
wards as yartner until his death, when he
left me the whole of his stock in trade.
After I had been in his service some years,
he told me the reason he choe me in pref
erence to the other boy, was because of the
general neatness of my person ; while in
reference to the other lad he notice! that he
neglcc'ed to be ti lj. To this simple circum
tance has probably been owing part of my
success in business."
Never Saw a Woman.
"Meadow's History of the Chinese,"
lately published in London, in a chapter on
love, has the following :
A Chinese, who had been disappointed in
marriage, and had grievously suffered thro'
women in various other ways, retired with
his infant son to the peaks of a mountain
range in Kweichoo, a spot quite inaccessible
to little footed Chinese women. He train
ed the boy to worship the gods, and stand
'n awe and abhorrence of the devils ; but
he never mentioned women to him, always
descent' i -g the mountain alone to mry the
f cd. At length, however, the infirmities
o" age compelled him to take thej-oungman
w"th him to carry the heavy bag of rice.
As they were leaving the market town to
gether the son suddenly stopped short, and,
p .in ting to tin ce approaching objects, cri
ed "Father, what arc things? Look! look!
what are they?"'
"Thefather answered with the peremptory
order
"Turn away your head ; they are dev
ils !"
The son, in some alarm, turned awn', no
ticing that the evil things were gazing at
him from behind their fans. He walked to
the mountain in silence, ate no supper, and
from that day lost hisappetite and was afflict
ed with melancholy. For some time his
puzzled and anxious parient could get no
satisfactory answer to his inquiries, but at
length the young man burst outcrying with
inexplicable pain
"Oh. father, that tallest devil! that tall

A Lusu3 Naturae Half Horse,
Half Ox.
During last week, an animal was" brought
to this city from the Northern part of this
State, the like of which was never before
seen. A year ago we learned ironi several
re'iable gentlemen who had seen it, that
such a monster was extant, though rather
too diminutive too attraet much notice.
About the middle of the next month, its
keepers concluded that it had attained a
growth sufficient to be exhibited, and it was
brought to this city, to remain till after the
State Fair, but its extreme viciousness ren
dered it unsafe and improper to allow it to
stay here. The general features and char
acteristics of the ox arc seen in this remark
able beast. The head and neck are broad
and heavy, giving it the fierce disposition of
the buffalo, rather than the quiet and docile
character of the ox, while the mane, reach
ing from the forehead to the shoulder, and
sweeping to the knees, adds to the general
appearance of ferocity. The horns are
heavy at the base, but very short, and re
markably polished and pointed. The eye is
dull, but suggests things unutterable an ex
pression of latent power and devilishness,
which the general appearance of the animal
confirms. The muzzle is black and ugly.
The wile nostril arguing a large breathing
apparatus and unconquerable endurance.
The jaw is heavy and prominent, the fore
head full but rather square. The depth of
the shoulder is very great, the fore legs
short and large, the foot broad and deeply
claft. But here the bovine resemblance
cease.s altogether, and the equine character
istics begin. The body is slight and rounded,
closely covered by a glossy coat of fine, short
hair, a long, flowing tail nearly reaches the
ground. The hinder legs are smooth and
lithe as those of a race-horse, and the hoofs
rather slight, but well-formed, contrasting
with the heavy legs and cleft hoofs of the
forward part of the animal. Its gait, too,
is a ludicrous cross between that of the two
brutes of whoso nature it seems to partake.
Vt'h'le the motions of the forward part of
the bo dy are slow, awkward, and shambling,
those of the hinder are extremely graceful
and agile. Altogether it is one of the most
wonderful curiosities to be found in the ani
mal kingdom. Who will give it a name?
Lidianapolis Journal.
Profane Swearing.
The use of profane language is very un
reasonable, and foolish. There is nothing
won by it. It is uttered without a motive.
The swearer himself cannot point to a mo
tive for the commission of this sin. The de
frauder, thief, liar, forger and other offend
ers, have some motive to urge them forward
in crime. They expect to gain something by
their criminal acts. But the swearer has no
expectation. He has no hope of being made
happier by taking the name of God in vain.
He feels no better to those around him. It
puts no liionc' in I113 pocket. It does not
aid him in prosecuting his life work he can
be just as active and efficient without swear
ing. It does no adorn his character. I. is
no mark of wisdom or wit. A fool can swear.
Thus, without provocation, one of the
most important divine commandments is vi
o'ated, and profane men themselves acknowl
edge as much. If this be not unreasonable
and foolish, then nothing can be. If a man
were to start upon a journey, or engage in
some enterprise, without a motive with no
hope of gain or benefit, j-oa would call him
a simpleton. What, then,"mu-t you think
of the profane person who sets the authori
ty of God at defiance without the shadow of
a motive? In all the annals of sia there can
not be found anything more singular or v.n
wise. Satan has to make the liar and thief
believe that self-interest will be promoted by
these sinful acts before they consent to per
form them. But he finds swearers can be
duped without these considerations. He
does not have tolure them with a bait they
will bite the bare hook. Arc they not un
reasonable and foolish ?
Mrs. Partington on Fashion. 'There
is one thing sure," said Mrs. Partington,
the females of the present regeneration are
a heap more independent than they used to
be. Why, I saw a gal go by to-day that I
know belongs to the historical class of soci
ety, with her dress all tucked up to her knee,
her hair all buzzled up like as if she hadn't
had time to comb it for a week, and one of
her grandmother's caps, in an awful crum
pled condition, on her head. Why laws,
honey, w hen I was a gal, if any of the
fellows came along when I had my clothes
tucked up that way, and my head kivcrcd
with an old white rag, I would run for dear
life and hide out of sight. Well, well, the
gals then were innocent, uneonfiscated crea
tures ; now they are what the French call
"lazes."
Z&" Josh Billings replies to some parent:
"I can't tell you the best way to bring up a
boy ; but if I had one that didn't lie well
enough to suit me, I think I would set him
tending a dry good store. Probably the best
way to bring up a boy in the way he should
go ,is to travel that way ourselves, once in a
while. Still, there is much uncertainty. I
have seen them brought tip as careful as a
lap dog, and then go to the devil as soon as
they could strike the right track. And then
again I have seen them taken out of gutters,
and they would wash up like daimonds.

A Terrible Retribution.
Whatever version may be given to a cir
cumstance that occurred in this city yester
day afternoon, the most thoughtless must
per force admit that the result is both
strange and startling, and well calculated to
turn the serious man to more profound
meditation, and even stay the reckless man
in his course. A man of robust health and
in the prime of life, is accused of a crime
under circumstances of almost positive
proofs of guilt, and while he calls upon God
to bear witness to his innocence, is struck
dead almost before the appeal has left his
lips. Incredible as the circumstances may
appear, they are literally true.
A little over a year ago there lived in a
small village in Sweden a man by the name
of Rriscnecrist, whose o-tenslb'e pursuit was
that of a tailor, but rumor had it that his
principal revenue was derived from preach
ing an I steul'ng, and at at last this impres
sion was so strongly confirmed that he sud
denV left that village to evade the arm of
justice. He came to this country about
eight months ago, and took up his residence
in Chicago, where he again worked at hi3
trade. Having a family, he found it diffi
cult to support them in the city, and conse
quently sent them to a farm about fourteen
miles from Chicago. He thereupon took
lodgings at a boarillng-house, No. 144,
Burnside street, and for a long time no sus
picions were entertained as to his character.
Recently several valuable articles belonging
to boarders at the .house were found mis
sing, but no clue to the perpetrator could be
detected. Yesterday afternoon another
theft was discovered, and the proofs of
guilt pointed directly to Rosencrist, no one
else having been near the apartment since
the time the articles stolen were last seen!
On being accused, he stoutly denied the
theft, but finding no credence was given to
the denial, he suddenly grew more passion
ate, and, lifting his hand towards heaven,
exclaimed that he hoped his "tongue would
rot in his month, his head drop from his
shoulders, an! God strike him dead on the
spot," if he was guilty. No sooner had
these words e:-ca pod his lips, when he sud
denly began to reel and stagger, and, before
support could be given, he fell to the floor
dead. The excitement this created among
the bystanders can better be imngined than
described. Strong men stood paralyzed,
woiuen fainted, and none were able to Bpealc
for some minutes. The occurrence was so
horrible, that men doubted their senses.
But the dead man remained prostrate on tho
floor- a ghastly proof of tVc reality. The
rumor of this strange and startling fatality
soon spread through the neighborhood, and
in a few minutes the house was filled with
horror-stricken people, none of whom doubt
ed that the hand of God was thus made vis
ible. A physician was called, who pronounc
ed the cause of death to be disease of the
heart, produced by over excitement The
body has been conveyed to the dead house,
where an inquest will be held to. day Chica

A Female Candidate for Congr
In a card published in the New York pape
of the 11th, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
presents herself in the voting population of
the Eighth Congressional District of that
city as a candidate for Congress. She
professes independent principles, with a ten
dency in favor of the Republican party, pro
vided it advocates negro suffrage ; and she
asks the support of the voters on the ground
of the safety of the nation and justice to its
citizens. Mrs. Stanton does not seem to
have as yet had the support of the regular
nominating conventions, however. Thedis.

3?" Ex-President Pierce was once ear
nestly besought by a neighbor to endorse a
bill for him. He refused, civilly, being a
very prudent man. The 'neighbor pressed
it, saying it was a small thing to do, and
would be of much service to him. Again
the ex-President declined. The neighbor
became urgent. Then said Mr. Tierce :
"John, look here. If I put my name to
this bill, you will not pay it ; I shall be made
to do so, and then wc shall quarrel. If you
please, we'll quarrel now while the money is
in my pocket."
