IS RELIGION BEAUTIFUL

Alwavs in the child, in the maiden,
the mother, religion shows with holy,
benignant beauty of its own, which moth
inc of earth can mar. Never yet was the
female character perfect without the steady
faith of piety Beauty, intellectual wealth
They are all like pitfalls, dark in the
brightest day, unless the divine light,
unless religion throws her soft beams
around them to purify and exalt, making
twice glorious that which seems all love-
illness before.
Religion is very beautiful; in health or
sickness, in wealth or poverty. Whenever
enter the sick chamber of the good, but
soft music seems to float on the air; and
the burden of their song is. Love, peace
is here"
Could we look into thousands of fam
lilies to-day, where discomfort sits fighting
sullenly with life, we should find the CHIEF
cause of unhappiness, want of religion.
And in felon's cells--in places of crime,
misery, restitution, ignorance, we should
behold in all its horrible deformity, the
fruit of religion.-Selected.

The Passion for Display.

The world is crazy. The call is for
acknowledgements still show. There is
not one person in a thousand, male fe-
male, who darcs fall back on nothing but
bis real simple self for power by whose
aid to get through the world, and extract
enjoyment as he goes along. There is too
much living to the eyes of other people.
There is no end to the ap;ng, the mimicry
the falls, airs, and the superficial arts. And,
until people take new view of things en-
tirelv, and resolve to turn very short
corner in order to I've o5ediently to snch
a Wow, tho ri will go on as it has been
going on for this ever So long, and all of
us will continne to chase bubbles only to
sec them burst, mere water drops in our
hands. 3 I
1t requires rare courage, we must con-
TESS, to live up to ones enlightened convic-
tons in these times. Unless you consent
to join in the general cheat, you are boot
ed at and jostled out of reach. There is
no room for you among the great mob of
pretenders. If man d;res to live within
his means, and is resolute in his purpose
not to appear to be more than he really is,
let him be applauded. There is something
fresh in such an examble. 1t deserves to
be set down as one of the oddities and Gu
riositics of the age The few who devote
themselves to such fine resolutions can,
we fear, be counted upon the fingers
But still they are the little leaven in the
huge lump. The mass will yet be stirred
by the truth and simplicity of their exam
pies. When they shall succeed in restor-
ing the old times again, then we may
begin to lax about the reconstruction Of
of society upon new basis, and not much
before.-LJe Illustrated.

FREE SUFFRAGE.

The News of Yesterday INDUCES in an
other spasm on the subject Of Free Suf-
frage. Holding it to be inconsistent with
common sense and Christian duty" to
extend any of the rights and privileges of
American citizenship to the colored peo-
pie, the Nevs is indignant that the cleo
tors of Wisconsin should even be allowed
the opportunity to vote, yea or nay, on
this question. 1t arraigns the Republican
legislature for passing and the Republ-
csn Governor for signing the act, submit
ting this question to the People. Let us
remind the Neacs that Democrats, as we'll
as Republicans, petitioned for this law and
that democrats, as well as Republicans,
voted for it. The petition from this city,
asking for the passage of tho act so OBJ
noxious to the Neps, was signed by some
1900 voters, the first name on the list be-
ing that of JAMES B. CROSS, the
Nescs' candidate for Governor. Among
those who voted for the bill was Senator
O'NE1L, of this city, who said that he
could not recognize color rs a text Of cit
izenship, nor understand how Democracy
could deny to one class what it conceded
to others.
The Pro-Savery Democratic organ,
true to their "National" instincts and
faithful to their Southern taskmasters,
have abandoned argument on this ques-
ton, and make their sole appeals to pref
udice. They ring the changes on tho
word "nigger," and are especially busy
in the effort to show that "Free Suffrage
would be an innovation and is designed
to elevate the colored, at the expense Of
the white race. But the truth is, that the
restriction which exists in our State Con-
stitution was unknown in the thirteen
original States; and that now, as for
seventy years past, colored men possess
and exercise the right of suffrage i'll all Of
the New England States, in New Jersey,
New York, and others of the Middle
States, and, if we mistake not, in some
even of the Southern States. We know
at least, that in both North Carolina and
Louisiana colored men have. at times, en-
loved the elective franchise.
So far, then, from being novelty
FREE SUFFRAGE is as old as the Repub-
lie, and has always existed and still exists
in many of the oldest States in the Uuion.
1t is no experiment. 1t is simply the res
toration to one class of our citizens OF the
right which the spirit of our institutions
guarantees to all, and of which none can
be deprived without doing violence to the

the accumulation of facts may enable our
successors to form medical science; but
I repeat it to you thcre is no such thing
now as medical science. Who can tell
me how to cure the headache or the govt
or disease of the heart? Nobody. Oh!
you tell me doctors cure people. | grant
YOU people are cured. But how are they
cured? Gentlemen, nature does great

generally, what 1 did when I was the

themselves until they got really sick, but
nature invariably came to the rescue, ana

SIMPLICITY OF DRESS.

Prentice, of the Louisville Journal speaks
thus plainly and sensibly to his readers;
Those who think that in order to dress
we'll it is necessary to dress extravagantly
and gaudily, make a great mistake.-
Nothing so well becomes true feminine
beauty as simplicity. We have seen many
a remarkably fine person robbed OF its
fine effect by being over-dressed. Moth
ing is more unbecoming than overload
ed beauty. The simplicity Of the classic
taste is seen in the cd statutes and pictures
painted by men Of very superior artistic
genius. In Athens the ladies were not
gaudily but simply arrayed, and we doubt
Whether any ladies excited greater ad-
miration. So also the noble old Roman
matrons, whose superb forms were worthy
ofthem, were also plainly dressed. Fash
ion often presents the lines Of butterflies,
but fashion is not classic goddess.

The Medical Profession by one
who knew it.

The American Medical Gazette for
,Tune gives remarkably interesting letter
from an American medical student in
Paris. The writer says that he once
heard Magendic, the celebrated French
physician and Psychologist open lecture
somewhat in the following words:
Gentlemen: Medicine is great hum
bug. I know it is called a science, science
indeed! 1t is nothing like science. Doc
tors are mere empires, when they are not
charlatans We are as ignorant as men
can be. Who knows anything about
medicines Gentlemen you have done me
the honor to come here to attend my lee
lures, and | must tell you frankly now, in
the beginning, that l know nothing in tho
world about medicine, and don't see any
body that does know anything about it.
Don't think 70, a moment that | havn't
read the bills advertising the course of
lectures at the medical school; l know
that this man teaches anatomy, that man
teaches pathology, another man physiolo-
gy, such one therapeutics, such another
matera medica, Eli bien! ct opres.
What's known about all that? Why,
gentlemen, at the school of Montpelier,
1God knows it was famous enough IN Its
day j they discarded the study of anato-
nv, and taught nothing but tho dispen-
sary and the doctors educated there
knew lust as much and were quite as sue
cessful as any others. / repeat it, nobody
knows anything about med cine. True
enough we are gathering facts every day.
We can produce typhus fever, for exam m
pie, by ejecting certain substance in the
veins of dog-that is something; we
can alleviate diabtes, and, see distinctly,
we are fast approaching the day when
phthisic can be cured as easily as any
disease.
We are collecting facts in the right
spirit, and l dare say in century or SC

Home without "a Daughter.

Boys may not lack lack affection, but
they may lack tenderness. They may
not DO wanting in inclination to contr;-
butte their quota to the Paradise of Home,
but they may be wanting in the ability to
carry ont their inclination. The son ola
household is like Young and vigorous
sapling - the daughter is Ike a fragile
vine.
We know home which once reioiced
in the sunny smiles and musical accents of
an only dau yhter. She was a lovely
child-womanly beyond her years:
"Fun Of gentlencss OF calmest hope.
Of sweet and quiet JOY ~
The child never breat1ed who evinced
a moro afectionate reverence, or moro
reverential affection of her parents than
did sho Instead Of waititg for their COM
mands she anticipated them 49, instead of
lingering until they made known their
wishes to Der, she always studied their
wishes out. Morning broke not in
that household until, she awoke-the
night was not dark until her eyes were
closed. How they loved her! did her
father and her mother and of how many
blessed pictures of the future was she the
subject.
at is fearful thing that Love and
Death dwell in the same world" says Mrs
Hemans. "Fearfulr' 1t is maddening
it is truth that is linked with despair.
Suddenly, like thief in the night,
there came messenger from Heaven for
the child-saying that the Lord had need
of her. She meekly lowed her head
and at midnight, "weIt forth to meet the
Bridegroom The last minute of the last
hour of the last day Of the last month was
hallowed by her death. She went and
came back no more! e, rHrr
Years have worn away since then, but
still there is agony in that household
whose sun went down as she departed. The
family circle is in incomplete-there is no
daughter there - The form that once
was hers, reposes among the congenial
charms of nature and art; they have made
the place of her rest beautiful. If the
grass grows rank upon her grove, if is be-
cause it is kept wet with tears. IS -
OF a truth, home without girl in it
is only half blest; it is an orchard without
blossoms, and a spring without song. A
house full of sons is Ike Lebanon with its
cellars, but daughters by the fireside, are
like roses in Sharon. 10
