gs8- a distinguished gentleman, eX-Gov-
ernor Of an Atlantic State, was employed
for the defence on Il trial for murder
The Governor found it necessary. in the
course Of his speech, to comment With
some severity on the testimony of wit
ness for the prosecution. In the midst
of most searching and logical sentence,
wherein he was convincing the jury that
the witness had sworn to more than the
truth, he was interrupted by juryman
a tall, lank fellow, who, rising, address
cd the Governor:
"See here, Mr.. Lawyer, I don't want
yer to go on that way abusing me;
won't stand it; I'll break up the Court
if you do; didn't come to be abused
"My dear sir" replied the Governor, in
his politest manner, 81 was alluding tc
the witness, not to you; my remarks
were not intended to any of the jurors"
"Well, then," said the juror, lust quit
a pinting your fingers at me when y0r
talk that way"

Har,iee's Tactics.

As this manual of military drill has su-
perseded all others, the following card
from Col. J. II. Rion, an accomplished Of
fcer, will at this time be interesting to
the volunteer companies throughout the
State:
At the request of some of my brother
officers of the volunteer service, publish
my general rules for Hardee's facing,
whether from halt or while marching.
These rules are without erceptioas and ap-
ply to the eight different facings, (three
right, three left, two front.) That they
are correct in their result may be proven
by reference to Hardec, Nos. 352, 800,
365 and 366, school of the soldier, and
Nos. 136 and 14O, school Of the company.
In these rules, by the head of the COM
pany,' is meant that the end composed of
the taller men; and by the foot of the
company that end composed of the
shorter men. BY the rear rank, is meant,
of course, that rank which is behind the
other, according as the company is faced
to the front or rear.
Rules fordoubling, LATTER facing to either
flank.
LIST. The rear rank takes q side step
from the front rank.
I'd. If the head of the company is in
front, Nos. 1 stand fast, and Nos. 2 take
an o6zique step in the same direction in
which the rear rank has taken the side
step.
But if the foot Of the company is in
front Nos. stand fast, and Nos. l take
an oJliquc step in the same direction in
which the rear rank has taken the side
step.
Rules for undoubling, LATTER facing to
either front
1st. If Nos 1 are behind Nos. 2, Nos. l
undouble by taking an OOlique step to-
Yards the Lead of the company.
But if Nos are behind Nos. l, Nos. 2
undouble by taking an Obliqae step to-
wards the foot Of the company.
?. The rear rank closes up on the front
rank
By the rlles above given all rerplexity
arising from the same Nos. having to step
to the right at one time, and to the left at
another, is. obviated. By experience ]
have found that the men readily comprc-
hcnd these rules.
In forming fours, the fours should a.
ways dress by the man on the side where
the last front was. n-o>

THE SOCIAL HoRRoR.-An untidy wo-
man! Little soap and much perfume.
Plenty oficwelry and lack of strings and
buttons. Silks and laces, and tattered un-
der-clothes. Diamond rings and ysoiled
collars. Feathers and flowers and bat
tered cap frill. SillSstoclSings and shabby
boots. Who has not seen her? If You
are a person of courage enter her dressing
room. Make your way over the carpet
through mis-mated slippers, tippets, belt
ribbons, hair pins, pictorials, magazines,
fashion prints and unpaid bills, and look
vainly around for chair that is sufficient
ly free from dust to sit down upon. Look
at the dingy muslin window curtains, the
questionable bed quilt and pillow cases,
the unfreshness of everything your eye
falls upon.
Open the closet door, and see the piles
of dresses, all wanting" the stitch in time"
heaped pell nell upon their pegs; see the
band-bOXeS without covers, anu I'LL Che
horrible paraphernalia of lazy, vapid,
inefficient vacant, idea less female mon
strosity, who will of course be chosen out
of a bcvy of practical, good, common
sense girls, by solrc man who prides him
self on Ibis knowledge of woman," as
his "help-mcet for lifcl I use the word
monstrosity" advisedly; for even in the
cell of prison have seen wretehed fe-
males trying, with women's beautiful in
stinct, to brighten and bcautify the bare
walls with some rude colorcd print
Thank Heaven the untidy woman is the
exception, not the rule. Would We could
say the same Of the untidy man.

Our TURN MUsT CoME-Generation
after generation, says q fine writer,
o have felt as we now feel, and their lives
were rs active as our own. They passed
like vapor, while nature wore the same
aspect of beauty as when her Creator
commanded her to be. The heavens
shall be as bright over our graves as they
are now around our paths. The. world
will have the same attraction for our Off
spring unborn that she had once for us as
children. Yet little while, and all will
have happened. The throbbing heart
will be stihed and we shall be at rest.
Our funeral will find its way, and pray
ers will be said and then we shall be lett
alone in silence and in darkness for the
worms. And it may be fora short time
we shall be spoken Of but the things of
life will creep in, and our names will soon
be forgotten. Days will continue to move
ON, and laughter and song will be heard
in thesroom in which we died, and the
eve that mourned for US will be dried
and glisten again with joy: and even our
children will cease to thinle of us, and
will not remember to lisp our names"

:. Happy Land of Canaan"


THE GEORGIA VERSION.
Thro the North of the land, there has arose band
Who drill under Black Republican training,
They call them Wide-Awakes, but we will show that
their cakes
VIII get burnt on the Georgia end of Canaan.
CHoRus.-Oh, me- Oh my!
The sun of secession is shining;
Never mind old Lincoln,
He's cot into double trouble,
While VIC are safe in the Southern end
CT Canaan.
Some people said our State wouldn't dare to meet
her fate,
And that under Lincoln she would be remaining,
But the news we got by steam, by one hundred and
nineteen
She went whzzng TO the other side of Canaan.
We've beat cooperation and now are free nation,
And by force of arms our cause will be maintain
ing,
And if there's traitors here, for the North they d
better clear,
Or we'll hang them as high as IIaman hung in
Canaan.
Old Gen. Winfield Scott thought he'd aid The Sum-
ter fort,
And by doing so, the North would be gaining,
Int when the little Star went to cross the Char
lesion bar,
They blowed her to the other SIDE of Canaan.
The Star of the West, she came, she saw, she left,
4 10
And General Scott's troops took g hasty plate of
SOUP
And sailed for the Yankee part of Canaan.
Down at Savannah is the first secession banner,
And the military are all under training;
And Governor Brown thought he'd take Pulaski
So he moved it to our side of Canaan.
Down al Augusta, some arms were getting rusty
And the Governor thought they needed little
cleaning
lie enqured what to pay, gave note at thirty
days..
And bought them forthe Georgia boys of Canaan.
We hear that down in Camden, old John Brown $
son was landing,
With three hundred men to sustain him
Bat if he tries that game, he'll immortalize his
name,
For wen hang him with his daddy up in Canaan.
There are eight thousand muskets of the best Min
nie brand,
In the different Georgia arsenals remaining,
Well give rifles to the women and revolvers to the
boys,
AndI think we'll keep the g Happy Land of Ca
naan"

ADMIRABLE ADVICE FROM THE POPE.
When Frederilla Bremen was in Rome
not long ago, she visited the Pope, and
conversed with him. AS she left, Plus
IX-she tells us in her recent book
gave her this advice:
81 will tell you something. Pray
pray for light from the Lord for grace to
acknowledge the truth because this is
the only means Of attaining to it. Con-
troversy will dc no good. In controver-
sy is pride and self-lovc. People in con-
troversy make parade Of their knowl-
edge of their acuteness, and, after all, ev-
cry one continues to hold its own views.
Prayer alone gives light and strength for
the requirement of truth and grace
Pray every day every and night before you
go to rcst-and L hope that grace and
fight may be given to you. For God
wishes that we should humble ourselves,
and he gives his grace to the humble.
And now, God bless you, for time and
cternity!"
This pure pricstly and fathcrly admo-
milton was so beautifully and fervently
expressed that it went to heart, and hum
bly, and with my heart L pressed the
hand patcrnally extended towards me.
That it was the hand Of the Pope did
not embarrass me in the slightest degree
for he was to me really at this moment
the representative of the Teacher who in
life and doctrine preached humility, not
before men, but before God, and taught
mankind to pray to Him. The Pope's
words were entirely true and evangelical.
thanked him from my entire heart and
departed more satisfied with him than
myself I had stood before him in my
Protestant pride; he had listened with
kindness, and finally exhorted me, not
with Papal arrogance, but as true Cos
pei teacher 1 parted with him with
more humility of spirit than I had come. p

notice of the much-talked-of Inauguration
ball at Washington. After briefly refer
ring to the wonted gay and festive inau-
guration observances in Washington, to
the pleasurable fruitions of which, itjust-
" remarks, Southerners~ contributed most,
it adds:
"But now change has come over the
spirit of the times. The approaching In
auguration of q sectionally elected Presi-
dent, instead of inspiring gladness and
mirth-instead of attracting crowds from
all quarters of the Union to the Federal
metropolis-instead of being greeted with
the customary rejoicings of happy pe0-
ple-will be but a CHASTITY demonstration.
1t will awaken no emotion of national
pride and satisfaction-it will call forth no
enthusiastic responses from the public boz
som-it will excite eacclamations like
those which have marked all previous pa
gcants of the llind-but it will stir up tho
most melancholy reflections in every gen.
erous breast-it will wear the sad lnSlgnI
of nations woe. A disunited Confedera-
cy-a once fourishing and mighty govern
ment, now lowering on the very verge Of
destruction, will rise up like appalling
visions before the Black Republican revel-
lers, and chill them in the. midst of their
carousals. What gloomy phantom of an
Inauguration it will be-"
The New York Express, referring to
the same anticipated revel, so out of time
and out OF tune, says:
"a penitential wall over corrupt gov
ernment, the decay Of public virtue, and
the sapped foundations of the great edi-
flee of popular liberty, would be far more
grateful to their ears than any ballroom
strains, however high or fostal."
