Text for the Times.

The N. Y. World Republican)
quotes the following from President
Jefersons first Inaugural, as suita-
Bile text for the times.
/ The diffusion of information and the
Earraignment of all abuses at the bar of
public opinion; freedom of religion;
freedom Of the press; freedom Of person
ander the protection Of habeas corpus;
and trial by juries impartially selected
these principles form the bright con-
stellation which has gone before US, and
guided our steps through an age of rev.
olution and reformation. The wisdom
I of our sages and the blood of our he
roes have been devoted to their attain
ment. They should be the creed of our
political faith; the text of civil instruc-
tion, the touchstone by which to try the
services Of those we trust: and should
we wander from them in moments of
error or alarm let US hasten to retrace
our steps and regain the road which
alone leads to- peace, liberty and safety.

The Deeds of a Nation.

The Deeds of Nation.
"Righteousness exalteth a nation; but
sin is reproach to any people.
No Nation was ever prosperous and
happy. without righteousness-no peo-
pie has ever been able to avoid reproach
of humanity, when deGled by sin. And
here, in our careless processes of reason
ing, we are apt to stop-thinking, that,
as individuals, we have but little con-
corn, with the doiugs and responsible
ties of the nation. This is a grand
mistake! Nations are but the aggrega-
tions of individualities. And no soph-
istry can screen US from a share Of just
reproach, if, as individuals, we allow
ourselves to be guilty of sin. Each
departure from the eternal rules of
righteousness, by each or any man, wo-
man or child, is to certain definite ex-
tent, disgrace AID curse to call peo-
ple.' We can neither evade the respon-
sibilities, nor escape che consequences
of our individual acts, and when the
black clouds of nations enornities
gather over cur hearts, obscure the
glorious sun, and burst assunder, to let
down upon the glorious earth a shower
of maledictions, the guilty will receive
their share and no mlstakei

An Appalling Facta

An Appalling Facta
The bereayements of the war, SO. far
as the single city ofNew Orleans is con-
cernel /, have.a dreadful exemplication
in the appalling fact, stated by the New
Orleans Delta, that there are no fewer
than twenty -four hundred orphan chill
dren in the several asylums of that city.
A like fact could be revealed in al
most every Southern city by ainvestiga-
ton. How many unprotected little Or
phans are there now wandering. in rags
and want about our streets? Yes, and
as they pass mournfully along, while
tears of sorrow for father slain in bat,
tie course down their little cheeks, at
every step they meet some luxurious
coward. dressed in broadcloth, and sup
porting gold headed cane, who induced
that parent to fight against the flag Of
his country. At every step they are
passed by some splendid carriage filled
with gay women in silks, who taunt and
insult loyal officers and soldiers on their
way. How long slumber the bolts of
vengeance?- Nashville Union.

THE PROPOSITION OF DENMARK.

THE PROPOSITION OF DENMARK
Count Rasloff, charge d'afaires oil
Denmark, has addressed letter to Sec
retary Seward upon the subject of the
advantages offered by the Island Of St
Croix for the employment of persons Of
this country Of African extraction, and
negroes found upon vessels captured by
our cruisers. The island, he says, has
been checked in progress for the lack OF
ma nual labor, and be invites the United
States to enter into Convention
| whereby the contemplated emigration
may be placed under the protection aud
guarantee of the two Governments.
The. Governor of the Danish West
Indies has also appointed q special
agent, who has arrived in this country
| to make the necessary arrangements
Free transportation is offered to all who
will engage to labor on the sugar plan
tations for three years, at the same com
pensation as is given to the native pop
ulation. Recaptured Africans, semi
sayages, must, however, undergo ap-
premiership.
Secretary Seward says in reply that
he is not authorized to accept the prop
osition for a Convention at this time
The disposition of recaptured Africans
is now prescribed by law. It is prob
able, however, that Congress may be
disposed so to modify the existing leg
islation upon the subject so as to meet
the wishes of the Danish Government
The correspondence has been submitted
to the Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee in each House of Congress.
Denmark still possesses three islands
in the West Indies-St. Thomas, and
St. John, and St. Croix or Santa Cruz
to which Denmark wishes to remove our
black freed men. St. Croix is twenty
four miles in length and. nine miles in
breadth, and has population of twenty
Eve thousand, about four thousand
whites 1t is rich in soil and product
ions, is highly cultivated, but its culti-
vation may be greatly extended. The
great want is mechanics and working
men. Its products consists of sugar
cotton, coffee, ginger, pimento, cocoa:
drugs, tobacco, fruits, &c. Frederick

being quite parental. Santa Cruz is
sixty-five miles south east from Porto
Rico, and on a parallel of latitude two
or three degrees south of Cuba.
1t is stated that Jamaica and most OF
the British West India Islands need Ia
Dor as much as Santa Cruz, and the en-
igration law of Jamaica has standing
offer to emigrants, of land and other
aid. When Gov Wise and the Vir-
ginia Legislature some six years age
threatened to drive all the free blacks
and mulattoes out of that State, the Ja-
maica authorities offered to transport all
of them to that Island free of expense
to themselves or to Virginia, and make
them allotments Of lands sufficient for
their living. TAe offer was not accepted
nor the threat carried out. There will
be no occasion to buy country for the
blacks, as long as their paid labor is in
such demand in the West Indies. Al
St. Cfoix the usual wages given laborers

Let then the aged woman be no longer
the object of contempt. She is helpless
as a child, but as child she may be
learning her last lesson from her Heav-
| tenly Father. Her feeble step is trem-
bling on the brink of the grave; but her
hopes may be finally planted on the bet
ter shore, which lies beyond. Her eye
is dim with suffering and tears; but her
spiritual vision mag be contemplating
the gradual unfolding of the gates OF
eternal rest. Beauty has faded from
her form; but angels in the world of
light may be weaving wreath of glory
for her. Her lip is silent, but may be
only waiting to pour forth celestial
strains of gratitude and praise. Lonely
and fallen and sad, she sits among the
living; but exalted, purified and happy,
she may arise from the dead Then run
if you will from the aged woman in her
| loneliness, but remember she is not for
saken of her God!

NEUTRAL MEN.

We frequently hear men whoa few
months ago expressed an ardent attaeh-
ment to the Southern Confederaey and
earnest hope foritsultimate success, now
declaring that they are aepfrdzs. AFTER
doing all they could to destroy the Gov
Eernment when they find the iron grasp
of that Government clutching them like
vice, they impudently say, aLet us
alene-we are neatrals!" The murderer
is neutral when justice locks him in its
cell The robber neutral when he can
no longer disturb society. Such is the
neutrality of these rebels who are quiet
on compulsion. Several of our red
mouthed parsons who preached politics
in behalf of the Southern Gonfederaeys
,o1o aduised the Lyachiag of Nashvitte
Catholic priest, because he soas reported tes
be a loyal man, and who prayed the AZ
mighty to strew the hills, Of the Sonth

called upon to account for their infa-
nous and damnable villainy, that they
we're no politicians. When their coun-

Fairly Influence.


There can be no greater blessing than
to be born in the light and air of a
cheerful and loving home.- 1t not only
insures happy childhood-if there be
health and good constitution-but it
also makes sure virtuous and happy
manhood, and a fresh young heart in
old age. I think it every parent duty
to try to make their ehildren's child
hood full of love and childhood's proper
joyousness; and 1 never see children
destitute Of them through the poverty,
faulty tempers, or wrong notions of their
parents, without heart ache. Not that
all the appliances which wealth can buy
are necessary to the free and happy un-
folding OF childhood in body, mind and
heart-auite otherwise, God be thanked:
but children must at least have love in
side-otherwise young life runs the
greatest danger in the world of wither-
ing, or growing stunted, or sour and
wrong, or at best prematurely old, and
turned inward on itself
