The conservative Kepublicans propose

Let white voters remember, that when
the President's veto message was being
read in the Senate, the white men cheered
and the negroes hissed. The white gal
leries were immediately cleared and the
negro galleries were not disturbed. The
whites were turned out and the negroes
were suffered to remain. An Abolition
Senate thus showed that it considered a
negro entitled te more respect than a white
man.
THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1866.
A Good Day's Work. Out in Michi
gan, a number of farmers were sitting in
front of a country store at the close of a
sultry day, and telling stories about their
work, and so on, when one of them took
the rag off the whole of them by relating
his experience.
"I say, you have all told whopping big
yarns, now; but I'll just tell you what I
done once in Y'ork State, on the Genesee
Flats, and on my father's farm. He
owned a meadow just a mile long, and
one morning in June I began to mow
sun about an hour high and mowed
right along the whole length of the field.
The grass was so heavy that I had to
mow down to the lower end of the lield,
and walked back, or as we say, ''carry
my swath." xVell, I worked on till sun
down, and then quit. I just thought, as
the meadow was just a mile long, I'd
count the swaths, and I did so, and there
was one hundred ! That, "entlemen. is
what York State folks call a big day's
work."
"So you walked two hundred miles
that day, did you ?" asked oim farmer.
"And mowed half the time you were
walking ?" said another.
"So it seems," replied the great mow
er, "I tell you the facts, and you can
make as much of it as you can."
A Qi:eer Coincidence A recent is
sue of the Ilarrisburg Telegraph contains
the following reference to President John
son :
We did not condemn his veto of the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, because we could
not then believe he had deliberately made
up his mind to become a traitor to those
who made him what he is. We turned in
pity from his incoherent harangue to the
rabid secessionists of Washington City on
the 22d of Fcbuary. Bat ue now owe it
to the good of the country to the honor of
our friends and the saerediwss of the great
princijdes in snjytort of which ice have spent
the lest dags of oar life, no longer to pass hy
icdh indifference or with seeming ajjroval
the acts of a man who begins to prove not
only false to himself ltd false to humanity,
his country, and Ins God !
It is a funny coincidence that the scales
only fell from the eyes uf this confiding vic
tim of Executive treachery on the day when
he received "notice to quit" the postoflice
which he has held for five years. When
you say of a man in the Hadical dialect,
that "he is false to humanity, his country
and his God" it means in ordinary Eng
lish that he has either put you out of an
office or has refused to give you one.
Yolr Name in the Biui.e. The
Dutch farmers in Africa have held the
black natives in great contempt. As one
of these farmers was riding out one day,
he saw oue of these blacks sitting by the
roadside reading. Checking his horse, he
jeeringly asked, "What book have you
got there ?"
The Bible," replied the Hottentot.
"I he Bible I Why that book ws
never intended for you.
"Indeed it was," replied the black, con
fidently, "for I see my name here."
Your name! Where?' said the far
mer, getting off his horse ; "show it me.1
"There !" said the poor fellow, putting
his finger on the word sinners (1 Iim. 1 :
15 ;) "There ! 'sinners!' that's my name
I am a sinner so that means me."
The farmer was silenced, and mounting
his horse he galloped away. So the children
may claim the Bible for theirs, since they
are not only sinners, but their other name,
"children." "little children," is in the Bi
ble a great many times.
Large Haul of Fish. The
catch of fish ever known in this
largest
section
seys the Newark Advertiser, .was made on
Saturday evening by some Philadelphia
fishermen, at what is known as the Dutch
fishery on the Delaware river, just above
the Salera creek. It was estimated that
between eight and ten tons were caught in
a single haul of the seine. The fisher
men filled two ordinary fishing smacks
and one large market boat, and left at
least two tons on the shore, beside the
large number escaping, owing to a rise of
the tide before they could get them out.
The fishermen estimated the cash value of
their haul at 3,000. Their own boats
not being sufficient, they sent to Philadel
phia for a sloop to carry their fish to that
market. The fish were principally splen

Egj,Thad. Stevens boldly denounces
President Johnson as a "tyrant." Do
President Johnson's Postmasters and As
sessors agree with Stevens. This ques
tion is both interesting and important,
and it will have to be answered before
long.
Chinese WidovS Widows are obli
ged, by custom, to wear a white, black.
or blue skirt, when they wear any skirt
at all. They are not allowed to dress
in a red and gaudy skirt, as though they
were tnarneu ana tiicir husbands were
living. Hence the expression, "marrying
the wearer oj a white skirt,'' applied to
man who marries a widow. Poor fami
lies sometimes arrange to marry one of
their sons to a widow, when they feel
themselves unable to procure a girl of good
character, on account of the necessary ex
pense attendant on marrying a widow is
comparatively small. It is considered a
disgrace to a family for one of its sons to
marry a widow, no matter how intelligent,
interesting and handsome she ruay be, as
well as a disgraceful or shameful step on
the part of the widow to consent to mar
ry again. No rich and fashionable fam
ily ever marries a son to a widow. A
widow is not allowed to ride in a red bri
dal chair en route from her residence to
her intended husband. She must employ
a common black-covered chair, borne by
two men. Many families, which have a
widow connected with them, are exceed
ingly unwilling that she should marry
again, on account of the dishonor which
such a procedure would bring upon them,
and especially upon the memory of her
deceased husband. Generally his rela
tives, if in good circumstances, prefer to
assist in her support, or support her en
tirely, than that she should marry the
second time.
Women. Theadore Parker, in one of
his ' 'sermons,
uttered the
following,
touching women :
There are three classes of women
First, domestic drudges, who are whol
ly taken up in the material details of
their house-keeping and child-keeping.
Their house-keeping is a trade and no
more ; and after they have done that,
there is no more w hich they can do. In
New England it is a small class, getting
less every year.
Next, there arc domestic dolls, wholly
taken up with vain show; that delights the
eye and car. Similar toys, I suppose,
will one day be more cheaply manufac
tured iit Paris,
iipnmKurir
at Frank-
tort-on-the-Aiain, and other toy shops m
Europe, out of wax or papier-mache, and
sold in Boston at the haberdasher's by the
dozen. These ask nothing beyond their
functions as dolls,and hate all attempts to
elevate woman kind.
Put there are domestic women who
order a house and are not mere drudges ;
w ho adorn it, and are not mere dolls,
but women. Some of these a great
many of them conjoin the useful of the
drudge and the beautiful of the doll into
o
womanhood, and have a great deal left
besides. They are wholly taken up with
their function as house-keeper, wife and
mother.
The following from a recent address by
liev. Henry Ward Beecher makes ex
tremely distasteful reading for some of Lis
political associates :
I should be sorry to sec any more gov
ernment agents spreading out through the
land. If the President would call home
every treasury agent that is disgracing the
North, and the government, and human
ity, and alternating the South, I for one
should be glad. Here and there arc no
doubt men who stand above bribery and
suspicion and corruption, noble men and
true ; but all through the South, taking
them comprehensively, they are as locusts
eating up the land. They are predatory,
nuisances, and degrade the North, from
which they come, and the governniect un
der which they serve.
The damage by the storm in Wiscon
sin is very extensive. Most all of the
railways have been interrupted. The river
regions around Southern Wisconsin are
covered with water, and several towns are
inundated. The floods on Wisconsin riv
er were particularly severe. It is filled j
for miles with bridges, out-houses, dead
cattle, sheen, fcc. The total damages
throughout the State can hardly fall short
of two millions of dollars. The freshet
has also extended to Northern and Cent
ral Minnesota, doing much damage.
S3-The tyranny of party leaders will
soon be more sensibly felt by the people.
Fhad. Stevens is an old leader always
in advance of his party no measure can
be too extreme for him it it has in view
the recognition of the political equality of
the negro with the white man. The peo
ple of the loyal States will not endorse
Stevens' extreme notions, and they will
not be "whipped in" to the support of
my man for the United Senate or Con-
trrcss who does.
VOL. 13 NO. 6.
A FACT A WARNING.
I had a widow's son committed to my
care. He was heir to a great estate.
He went through the ditFereut stages, and
finally left with a good moral character,
and bright prospects. But during the
couise of his education he had heard the
sentiment advanced, which I then sup
posed correct, that the use of wines were
not only admissible but a real auxiliary to
the temperance cause. After he had left
college, for a few years he continued to be
respectful to me. At length he became
reserved ; one night he rushed unceremoni
ously into my room and his appearance
told the dreadful secret, lie said he came
to talk with me. lie had been told dur
ing his senior year that it teas s"fe to
drink wine, and by that idea had" been ru
ined. I asked him if his mother knew
this. He said no, he had carefully con
cealed it from her. I asked him if lie
was such a slave that he could not aban
don the habit. "Talk not to me of sla
very," said he, "I am ruined, and before
I go to bed I shall quarrel with the bar
keeper of the Tontine for brandy or gin to
sate my burning thirst."
In one month this young mnn was in
his grave. It went to my heart. Wive
is the cause of ruin to a great proportion
of the young men of our country. Another
consideration is that the habit of convival
ity and hospitality is noWdirected to the
use of wine.
"You give up your wine and 1 will
give up my rum," says the dram drinker.
Once I would not yield to this. Now I
think I ought for th purpose of checking
intemperance. I will not 5peak for oth
ers, but for me to do otherwise would be
sin. Prof. Goodrich.
Artii iciae.Wants. Bulwer says that
poverty is only an idea in nine cases out
of ten. Some men with ten thousand
dollars a year suffer more for want of
means than others with : three hundred.
The reason is the richer man has artificial
wants. His income is ten thousand,..uid
he suffers enough from beinp: dunned f r
unpaid debts to kill a sensitive man. A
man who earns a dollar a" day and do;js
not run in debt, is the happier of the two.
Very few people who have been rich will
believe this, but it is as true as God's
word. There are thousands with princely
incomes who never know a moment of
peace, because thoy live above their moans.
There is really more happiness among the
working people than among those who are
called rich.
Some men talk like angels and pray
with fervor, and meditate with deep car
ncs ness, and speak to God wi;h aMlction,
and words cf union, and adhere to ll'uu
in silent devotion, and when they go
abroad are as passionate as ever, peevish
as a fl ighted 11 v, vexing themselves with
their own reflections, they are cruel in
their bargains ; unmerciful to their ten
ants, and proud as a barbarian prince ;
they are for all their tine words, impa
tient of reproof, scornful to their neigh
bors, lovers of money, supreme in tlu ir
own thoughts, and submit to none : all
their spiritual fancy an illusion : they are
still under the power of these passions,
and their sin rules them imperiously, and
carries them away lnlalhblv. Jcrenai
Taylor.
C3A gentleman in Alabama, in exert
ing himself one day, felt a sudden pain,
and fearing his internal machinery had
been thrown out of gear, sent for a negro
on his plantation, who made some preten
tions to medical skill, to prescribe for him.
The negro having investigated the case,
prepared and administered a doseto his
patient, with the utmost confidence of a
speedy cure. No relief being experienced,
however, the gentlemen sent for a phv'si
cian, who, on arriving, inquired of the ne
gro what medicine he had given his mas
ter. Bob promptly responded, '-Hosin
and alum, sir !'' "What did you give
them for ?" continued the doctor. " Why,"
replied Bob, "tie alum to draw do parts
togedder, and the rosin to sodder um."
The patient eventually recovered.
Ain't Yol ks ? The Auburn Advertiser
relates a funny incident that oceurrod at
a ball in that city. A bashful greeny
took a lady to a ball, and during the even
ing atte-r"ted to open a conversation.
After fidgeting about he plunged into the
merits of the case by remarking: "it's
powerful warm in this room ; my shirt's
wet, ain't yours?" Her answer is not
given.
KT One fact standi out the most prom
inently: the leading radicals fought
President Lincoln quite as bitterly a
they now fight President Johnson. They
failed to crush Lincoln and they will fail
to crush Johnson.
