I do Not Like to Hear Him Pray.
I do not like to bear him pray,
Who loans for twenty-five per cent,
For then I think the borrower may
Be pre4sed to pay for fond and rent.
And in the book we all should heed,
Which says the lender may be blest
As sure as 1 have eves to read
It dues not say, 'r take interest."
I Jo not like to hear him pray
On bonded knees about an hour,
For grace to spend aright the day,
Who knows his neighbor has no flour;
I'd rather SOP him go to mill
And buy the luckless brother bread,
And see his children eat their fill,
And laugh beneath their humble abed,
I do not like to hear him pray
" Let blessing on the widow be
Who never seeks her home to say,
" If want o'crtaken you, come to me."
I hate the prayer so loud and long,
That's offered for the orphan's weal,
By him who sees him crushed by wrong,
And only with the lips doth feel.
I do not like to hear her pray,
With jeweled earand Flaked drew,
Whose washerwoman toils all day,
And then is asked " to work for less."
Such pious shavers I despise ;
With folded hands and face demure,
They lift to heaven their " angel eyes,"
And steal the earnings from the poor.
I do not like such soulless prayers:
If wrong I hope to be forgiven,
No angel's wing them upward bear—
They're lost a million miles from heaven
I cannot like long prayers to hear,
And Ftuil ied, from the lips depart ;
Our father bends a rer.dy car,
Let words below, he hears the heart.
General Grant—Let Soldiers
Read.
General Grant's supposed prestige as a
military commander is the entire stock in
trade of the Radicals in the present cam
paign. He is admitted by all to have no
ability as a statesman. The platform upon
which he has been placed, and the legisla
tion of the party which he represents, are
odious to the American people.
We arc willing to meet his advocates on
their grounds, with a comparison of facts
and figures. Of his campaigns in the West
—Belmont, Ft. Donelson, and Shiloh, or
Pittsburgh Landing—his warmest advo•
cattle are Silent. They arc simply a series of
stupendous blunders, and Grant's incom
petency and " incoherencies" cost thous
ands of valuable lives. The prominence
which he attained in the cast is the result
of accident, not of military genius. Had
Grant been called to the command of the
army of the Potomac io 1862, in place or
Gen. Pope, no one will doubt that his cam
paign would have Leen equally disastrous ;
and had Pope been called to the command
in 1864, and the effective and trained forces
placed ut his disposal that were furnished
to Grant, does any one doubt that he would
have been equally as successful as the lat
ter? Pope is regarded, through failure, as
a military humbug, and we doubt not that
he . displayed quite as much generalship as
Grant.
Tho true test of gt neralship is to com
pare the opposing forces. This, fortunate•
ly for the interests of truth, can now be
done from official sources. When Grant
crossed Rapidan. May 4, 1864, the relative
forces of the two armies according to officils
report was as follows:
Grant 125,000 men
Lee 53,000 men
Excessin favor of Grant 72,000
(These figures do not include Grant's enor
mous reserves in and about Washington on
the James River, at Fortress Monroe, and
other convenientpoints.)
Up to the battle of Cold Harbor, June
3d, the respective reinforcements of the bd•
ligerents were as annexed :
Grant 97,000 men
Lee 19,000
Excess in favor of Grant. 78,000
According to these figures, then (official,
be it remembered) the aggregate strength
of the two armies, including romforoementa,
was as follows :
Grant's army 222,000 men
Lee's army 90 . • 72,000
Excess in favor of Grant........ 152,000
More than three to one ! Yet returns to
their respective headquarters disclosed the
fact that when the combatants had reached
the bauks of the James on the 10th of June
one hundred and seventeen thousand of the
Federal forces had been placed among the
killed, wounded and missing 1 Mark the

eralehip" which thus led two hundred and
twenty-two thousand thoroughly equipped
and Bell-provided men against seventy
thousand ill-fed, half-clothed, over-worked

A letter from Concord, N. 11.. publiahed
in the Providence Journal, tells this
Mrs. Clarissa Mills lately died in this city,
aged about fifty-seven years. Shelled been
considered a poor woman, hard-working and
frugul, not only supporting herself, but also
maintaining her husband for several years
before his death. She lived in a email cot
tage, eonsisting of tw rooms and an attice,
The cottage sho owned, and how thorough
ly it must have been tilled will he scan b y
he ihliewing list of articles contained in it
at the time of her death. All the things
were sold at auction !eat wek. Thu star at
tracted great attention, nary b0dy1 , 61,4
ourious to see the odds and ends accumula
ted in lrs. Mills' lifetime.
There were three hundred and sixty pairs
of htockings(men'a and women's), many of
them knit by hand ; seventy-five sheets and
sixty pillow cases, many entirely new ; one
hundred and ten towels, not more than f,iir
of them of any ono kind ; nineteen braided
mats, some of them of very largo size ; five
feather beds: twenty-live comforters; sixty
five bed quilts, of every variety of material
and pattern, nil pieced and made up by kr
self ; chairs, no two alike; thirty
seven handkerchiefs, sonic of them marked
more than thirty years ago , eighty under
garments ; twenty-six night caps, (curious,
old-fashioned things some of them were);
between forty and fifty dresses (silk, calico,
and dclaine), among them her wedding
dress, a kind of silk tissue, mane with '' leg
of mutton" sleeves and turban waist :"
one china tea set; eighty plates ; ten sets of
cups and saucers, five hundred and thirty
five pieces of glass and croekery ware; thir
ty-three buckets and pails; nineteen meal
bags: three or four parasols; half a dozen
thimbles ; several pairs of spectacles, and
two or three bureaus, tables, stands, &c.,
It must be remembered that all these
things were accumulated by a poor woman,
who, till within a few weeks of her death,
went out to work by the day, washing, iron
ing, cleaning house, or anything by which
she could earn a penny. Doubtless many or
these things had been given her instead of
money for her work ; but what imaginable
use could many of them be to her? V:lrat,
for instance, could she have done with sev
enteen dozen combs ? The " back combs"
were the old-fashioned, high combs that
have not been worn for thirty years at least.
She seemed to hold on to everything, wheth
er of use or not; and in a pail was some or
her wedding-cake, made more than thirty
years ago.
A Great Curiosity.
The editor of the Griffin Star, after paying
a visit to Upson county, gives the Mowing
account of a great natural curiosity of Geor
gia:
The first grand point of interest was the
famous Thundering Springs, located in the
northern part of the county, about twelve
miles from Thomaston. We expected to
find quite a curiosity, but were completely
amazed to find so remarkable a freak of
mother nature as this spring. It is located
in the wildest part of the mountain, extend
ing through the county, and there is in the
solitude of the wilderness present a most re
markable phenomenon. The dimensions of
the spring proper are about five feet in di
ameter, and of an unknown depth, for ex
perimenters have repeatedly sounded its
depth in vain„ and no bottom con be reach
ed. The water boils up with great hove ;
bubbles of gas constantly rise up through
the water, and explode at the surfiiee. Thi ,
gas is highly combustible, and is frequently
set on fire as it makes its escape. Such i ,
the force with which the water rises that a
human body cannot sink, but is buoyed up
in a standing position. It is a &mous bath
ing place, and we took the first opportunity
to plunge into this bottomless well. There
we could stand upright fur hour., with noth
ing to support us but water. The earth
around the spring is a beautiful white sand,
of very fine grain, giving away rowdily at
the touch of the foot., but immediately re
forming as before. The walls of the welt
aro perfectly symmetrical, as if dug by the
hands of a man. As low down as we could
reach with our foot, we could kick a hole
in the wall, and as soon as the foot was re
moved the wall would immediately reform
as before. The temperature is delightful,
and the waters are invaluable, especially for
diseases of the skin and blood. The spring
constantly makes a low rumbling noise, from
which it derives its name.

gognes are rich, and therefore claim they
can do as they please. They are the authors
of our Political disgrace, and therefore set
with desperate unconcern whenever the rep

But the old wheel horse must struggle on
in heavy harness, and while demagogues
riot in the wealth they have already filched
from our Country's necessities, or plan new
eliclues of plunder, the Republican maws
of the Keystone State are expected to be
true to principles, are looked to to win vic
tories out of which these clique lenders may
sesatre the means to add new acres to their
already gigantic land possessions, and more.
dollars to their over swollen bank accounts,
The Republicans of Pennsylvania will not al
ways submit to such wrongs and dishonor.
Our load of disgrace is more than we can

which they have erected? We think not.

The Proscribed Republicans.
It is astonishieg with what a confident air
the Radical journals assume to read out of
their ranks and turn over to the Democracy
men they once recognized as of the greatest
influence and authority. It is the madness
that precedca destruction— the delusion of
that pride which precedes a fall.
The Ereniog .infrnal tells us its calcula
lions end their lomdation. "If The Argo's
(it says) imagines that any considerable
number of Republicans are likely to be in
floenced by the defection of the self-seeking
Chief Justice and the tecusant Senators we
respeetfuily invite its attention to the far
more setiou:, bolt of' 'CA, asking it to figure
up the advantages its friends derived from
the 'defections' of that year, 'and when
found, make a vote.' " We will not at
tempt to enter into an explanation of the
railure of the Conservative movement of
-I'4. Some of the self-sufficiency that an
imates the Radical ranks now, wrecked that
movement, when it looked most auspicious.
Dot it is pretty evident that the party
which has ostracised Seward and W. ed has
lost New York ; that Connecticut f,:towed
Dixon and Wens out of the Radical ranks ;
that the defection of Ohio was but a little
in advance of the desertion of Chase.
We do not attribute the Democratic KM
eeSs in the States we have named to these
men ; or mainly to them. Nine out of ten
votes operating the revolution were cast by
Democrats. But substract even live per
cent. from one side and bestow it upon the
other, and the result is a political revolution.
It is in this way that political changes are
effected.
We believe that the expulsion of Fessen
den from the Radical ranks may lose Maine
to that party ; and that the fate of Trum
bull may determine in the same way the re
sult in Illinois• lowa and Tennessee and
bleeding Kansas are likely to go as their
Senators have gone, because the same in
fluences are at work on the masses as on

The catastrophe of Radicalism was aver
ted in 1866, by the blunders of leadership.
A. reaction was got up against Johnson,
which revived the enthusiasm and vindic
tiveness of former days; but that powder
has been fired once. Its force is spent.
The day has come when Radicalism is
doomed 1 It is condemned in the hearts of
the people, as inatpable of government,
reckless and unprincipled. The people arc
impatient to read its sentence and witness
its execution.

field, was sent to the Southern States on a
tour of inquiry, to ascertain the condition
of things there, and after a short absence
returned to Washington and reported the
result of his examination. When (May 2,

act for the more efficient government of tl.e
States lately in rebellion," by which the
South was divided, into military districts,
Major General Schofield was appointed to
the command of the First district, compris
ing the State of Virginia. After General
Grant resigned the ad interim secretaryship
of war, in obedience to the action or Con
gress reinstating Secretary Stanton, and
while the impeachment trial was progress
ing, President Johnson nominated General
Schofield for the portfolio of war, which
nomination has now been confirmed.
What fihall the End Be.
While passing along the streets the oth
er day, we noticed a handbill posted up and
in large letters were the words, "Lost,"
" Lost !" The thought came aoross our
mind, how many men, women, and child
ren, fathers, mothers, sons, husbands,
brothers, wives, sisters, daughters how many
such are lost in this nation every year
through intemperance? Lost to friends;
to families, to loved ones, to society, and to
the church of Christ! Lost, not only to
everything that is great, good, grand, and
noble in this life, lost not only to manliness
and Christianity, but lost forever in hell I
Intemperance digs in our nation every
year fifty thousand graves, and on the head
stone of each we read the words of Holy
Writ, " No drunkard shall enter the King
dom of H-aven." Then, if this be so, if
those word. ara true, whtre are they?
Where are that vast Inulti'ule of immor

Families can run up to the top cf the house
with his mouth shut, taking two or three
stairs at a stride, that when he reaches the
roof there will be an instinctive desire to
draw a long breath, and forcibly too, this

the wind-pipe and to the air -cells, destend

running from cellar to roof, involving the
climbing of several pair of stairs, would very
greatly promote lung development, cud

he pays taxes on the one he lives in, in the

The poor man used to get $2.50 or S 3 per

A Goon &ova. os Bur: ER. —A Southern
correspondent writes : There is a loose dar
hey about Willard's hotel named Tom. You
win hribe Tow to do anything. The other
day there w:ls a , i'nner party given by a
New York conmetrr, at which it was un
derstood that Ben. Butler would be a guest.
Some diAte el wag, without the fear of Con
tvess before him. got hold of Torn, fed him
liberally, and put him up to a piece of out
rageous and treasonable tomfoolery.
After the plates were served the host sail,
"That will do, Tom ; you can go." But
Tom did not go. Observing that his orders
were not obeyed, the contractor repeated,
"I told yoir to go, Tom ; if I want you I'll
ring for you."
Still Tom hung about the door and did
not retire. At last, very much worried at
his contumacy, New York turned upon Ethi
opia and said sternly, attracting the com
pany, "I've told you twice to leave the room,
and by —, I'll be obeyed or put you out
myself."
Tom . approached the table humbly, and
replied in a subdued tone, but loud enough
to be heard by all present, "If you please,
sir"—with sul,m6sion—"l can't go;
obliged to stay."
TLe h—ll you are I What for ?"

Ws have away out in lowa, a very learn
ed and very worthy " missionary," known
as " Father T--," who is more than
suspected of being very fond of having his
own way. He once attempted to cross a
wide prairie, and was compelled to camp
out after night. In the morning he took
the wrong course, and traveled twenty miles
due north, while he wished to go east.—
Some one inquired how it happened, as it
was a clear day, and asked him if he could
not see the sun. " Why, yes," replied
Father T----, "I saw the elm, but I
couldn't bring myself to believe that way
was wt."

Who Carom
Our street. are thronged with moderate
drinkers and hard drinkers—men whose
habits produce a living death in their fami
lies, and will Preen involve them in all:the
infamy of confirmed drunkenness, but who
cares? This may appear a needlere7question
as from the nature of the ease!all must care ,
—rather, do any care? Certainly not, if
acts are allowed to speak the public mind.
These men buy their liquors at licensed
drinkeries, and these drinkerics the scolds
will not consent to eltut up. What stronger
proof can there be that nobody cares for
the drunkard or the drinker than the feet
that the planes which supply him with drink
exist by public authority? If stealing were
protected by law—if houses for the storage
of stolen gooda were erected, and men were
licensed to deal in stolen ; articles,
would it not be clear that society wee
in favor of stealing? It is too clear for sr
gunient that the popular voice is for drunk
enness, horrible and damaging as it is.—
But there arc a few who by profession are,
or at leas ought to be, opposed to hamper
'ince. Christians are pledged to abstenanee.
Yet this pledge, though effectual for thsm
selves, too often awakens no concern for the
inebriate. The drunkard and the drunkard
maker are left to their own ways, and the
Christian, so called, Gallo° of old, cares for
none of these things. Such is the seeming.
;f ere it otherwise, we should find Christains
not only ready but anxious to assist in put
ting dewn a traffic which is the prolific caws)
of all the drinking and drunkenness in the
land. Neither votes nor money will they
give to this work. From worldling., with
rare exceptions, we expect nothing better;
but it is shocking that a clam from God and
man held responsible fur their brother's
welfare, should so betray their tntst. Such
reereancy makes us ashamed of the Chris
tain name, and we can well imagine the
eharacter of those to whom the Savior said,
"Publicans and harlots shall enter the king
dom of heaven before you." "Depart front
me, yo workers of iniquity, I know ye not."
These were very religious, but none the bet
ter for their religion. "The saying of "Lord,
Lard," will be found in the end not to have
done mesh good, neither will the giving of
diens:lnds to the church, while the drunk
and is left to go down to bell. God is ask
ing of each believer, "where is thy brother ?"
It will not avail to say we are not his keep
er—and therefore we left. him in the clutches
of the rutuseller.—/apeadent.
WHAT WILL You DRINK ?—The local of
the Alton Democrat is a wag. This is what
he says on the above subject :
Different people, in different places, have
different ways of expressing the same thine.
For example, in Chicago, when a man asks
you to take a drink, he says: Nominate
your family disturbance. In St. Louis,
Choose your (told pizen. In Cincinnati, Po
you feel like driving a nail in your coffin ?
In Louisville, Let us put an enemy in our
mouths. In New York, Let us reduce our
selves below the level of the brutes. In
Boston, Let us violate (the liquor law.) In
Frankfort, Let us absorb. In New Orleans,
shall we fortify? In New Albany, Suppose
we drug ourselves? In Indianapolis. Let
us start for the watch-house. In Torre
Haute, Let us perjure ourselves. In Buffalo,
Let us disqualify. And at Lexington, Ky.,
Will you have some nourishment? In
Evansville, Let us take an article of Recon
struction. In Quincy they say : Have you
seen Grant? In Alton they say: Let us
have a Bourbon among us. In Jerseyville,
Trot out your Vermfuge. In Edwardsville
they look round the floor of the bar-room to
see if there are any dead people lying about
loose, and finding none Pay : Pass over your
lightning fly-killer. In Bloomsburg they
say: Hew much strychnine can you stand?
At Orangeville, What'll you take?
VORACITY (P ANTs.— About ninety years
ago the island of Grenada. in the West In
dies, was invaded by prodigious number of
a particular kind of ant, which makes its
nest under the roots of plants, and the su
gar-canes were so weakened and injured iu
consequence., that the plantations became
nearly unproductive. An amount says :
"They descended from the hills like torrents.
and the plantations, as well as every path
and road for miles, with them. Rats, nice
and reptiles of every kind became an easy
prey to them ; and even the birds, which
they attacked when they lighted on the
ground in search of food, were so harressed
as to be at length unable to mist them.
Sjfeams of water opposed only a temporary
obstacle to their progress; the lbremost
blindly rushing to certain death, and fresh
armies instantly following, till a bank was
formed of the carcasses of those which were
drowned, sufficient ty dam up the waters
and allow the main body to pass over in
safety below. Even fire was tried without
effect. When it was lighted to arrest their
route, they rushed into the blase in such
myriads as to extinguish it." A reward of
$20,000 was offered in vain fur an effectual
means of destroying them; but in 1780 a
hurricane, which tore up the canes and ex
posed their habitations to a deluge of rain,
freed the island from thin plague.
