TEARs.-There is sacredness in tears
They are not the mark of weakness, but
of power. They speak more eloquence
than ten thousand tongues They are the
messages of overwhelming grief, Of deep
contrition, of unspeakable love. If there
were wanting any argument to prove that
man were not mortal, would look for it
in the strong emotions Of the breast when
the soul has been deeply agitated; when
the fountains of feeling are rising, and
when the tears are gushing forth in crys-
tai streams. o, speak not harshly Of the
stricken one--weeping in silence! Break
not the solemnity by rude laughter or in
trusive footsteps. Despise not woman's
tears-they are what make her an angel.
Scoff not If the stern heart Of manhood
is sometimes melted by sympathy-they
are what help to elevate him above the
brute. leve to see tears Of afiiiction.
They are painful tokens but, still most
holy. There is a pleasure in tears-an
awful pleasure. If there were none on
earth to shed tear for me, should 10th
to live; and if no one might weep over
my grave; could never die in peace

BAYARD TAYLOR AS A PRfNTER. The
editor of the Plymouth Qll.) Locomotive,
who was printer in the same Office where
Bayard Taylor "served his time" tells
some interesting "reminiscences Of the great
traveller:
ave had the honor to succeed him in
our term of "devilship" in the Village
Record Office, Westchestef, Chester coun-
ty, Pa. We we'll remember the time when
he started out on his first 'tramp," with
his small satchel containing change or
two of linen and with fifty cents in capital.
The apprentices in those days had to car
ry the papers through the country on
horseback, and our route was just past his
fathers house. We do not know Of sin
gle time, through rain or shine, that old
Mr.. Taylor did not meet US at the end Of
the lane with happy smile, wishing us q
good day and as we would hand him the
Weekly Record he would remark, ga fair
exchange is no robbery" filing one side
of our saddle-bags with nice apples and
grapes. He was member of the Society
of Friends. With his little farm and
family around him he was happy man in
deed. He used to inquire anxiously after
Bayard, and said, "he liked to ramble
around too much; he was not steady
enough" Little he knew then that his
son Bayard, the printers apprentice, would
be one day quoted as the greatest travelling
historian that America could boast of"

against your trade, we refer you to our

made for the consolidation of the stock of

to pre-suppose illiberality and injustice on
our part, is not both illogical and un-
charitable. But, sir, cannot any longer
tax your courtesy, and the patience Of your
readers; and with the correction of one
other error, will conclude. You state
the distance of the road line from Bowling
Green to Memphis at 275 miles. This is
incorrect. 1t is 260--just fifteen miles
shorter-a matter Of no consequence to a

out the errors contained in your two edi-

it is considered that we will only run

WHAT A WOMAN CAN Do.-Some
crusty old bachelor has indited the fol-
lowing specimen of masculine impert-
nence. Hear him.
A woman may say what she likes to
you without danger of getting knocked
down for it. She can take snoozc after
dinner, while her husba nd has gone to
work. She can dress herself in neat ard
tidy c.tlicoes for dollar, which her hus-
band has to earn and fork over. Size
can go forth into the streets without be-
ing invited to treat at every coffee house.
She can paint her face lift is too pale,
and -four it if too red, She can wear
corsets if too thick-other fxings if too
thin. She can eat, drink and be merry,
without it costing her a cent. She can
get divorced from her husband when she
sees one she likes better. And she can
get in debt all over, until he warns the
public not to trust her Oh his account
any longer.

The HUNTER WooD1s CHARITABLE
FEsT1vAL-TBE GRAND LYRIC AND
FANCY DRESS So1REE-The evening of
the eight of April is the date designated
for this magnificent effort in behalf of the
poor, and in this case, as far as true en-
ioyment goes, the giver here will be
doubly blessed, ifin addition to the self
satisfaction of doing a good deed, the
festivity of rational, healthy, solid enter
tainment be added. A spectacle such as
the Crystal Palace will present on t at
evening will have been rarely witnessed.
No less than 10000 people can be easily
accommodated there, and when one fan
cies the scene, grand aggregate of milf
tarv and civic societies, club and assocla-
tions of scores of orders, with all their
ensigns and badges; the banners, flags
and other decorations, the brilliancy OF
the display of uniforms and colors height
ened by the blaze of 5000 jets OF gas, the
fancy costumes which will attend, the
magnifcence of the richest styles of ball
room dresses-all will make it carnival
reminding one of the gala days of Rome
or Paris, where the masses are allowed
full scope for their hilarity and enjoy
ment. 1t is safe to say that this great
affair will furnish topic for discussion
for long time after it has TRANSFERRED,
and in the name of Charity we ask
noble response to the call for its support.
This society have distributed and are now
in process of distributing, some $4,000
loayes of bread from the fund derived
from the Calico Dress Soiree. 1t Is to be
hoped this festival will enable them to
do double the amount of benefit to the
suffering class who are looking with eager
eyes and hopeful hearts to its result.
The sum of 81 admitting a lady and
gentleman is a small charge for the pur-
pose intended, but it will make the aid
rendered popular one, and gather
larger number Of interested and humane
people. The Crystal Palace Festival
will be a magnificent cvent.-N Y. Day
