My wife is SO years old, and has allus sus-

Her mother lived to venerable age, and died
while IN the act of frying slap-jacks for the
county commissioners. And may no rood

she'd never stand for her ambrotvpe, and
therefore | can't give her likeness to the

Mr., Roofus Minllins, was once very sick with
the fever but his wife moved his bed into the
door-yard while she was cleanin house. l
told Roofus this wasn't the thing, specially
as it was rainin vi'lently; but he said he
wanted to give his wife "a leetle lee-way,"-
That was 2 mulch. | told Mrs Minkins that
her Roofus would die if he staid out there in
the rain much longer; when she said SIT shan't
be my fault if he dies unprepared, "at the same

We have probaly all Of us met with instan-
ces, in which a word heedlessl y spoken against
the reputation of female has been magnified
by malicious minds until the cloud has be-
come dark enough to overshadow her whole
existence. To those who are accustomed
not necessarily from bad motives, but from
thoughtessness-tO speak lightly of females,
we recommend these ''hints, as worthy Of
consideration "Never use a ladys name in
an improper place, at an improper time or in
mixed company. Never make assertions
about her that you think are untrue, or allu.
sions that you feel she herself would blush
to hear. When you meet with men who do
not scruple to make use Of woman's name
in a reckless and unprincpled manner, shun
them, for they are the very worst members
Of the communicative lost to every sense Of
honor-evcry feeling Of humanity. Many a
good and worthy woman's character has been
forever ruined and her heart broken by lie,
by some villain, and repeated
where it should not have been, and in the
presence of those whose little judgment could
not deter them from circulating the foul and
b gging report. A Islander is soon propaga-
ted and the smallest thing derogatory to
woman's character will fly on the wings of
the wind and magnify as it elrculates until
its monstrous weight brushes the poor un-
conscious victim. Respect the name Of wo-
man, for your mothers and sisters are wo-
men land as you would have their fair name
untarnished, and their lives unbittered by
the slanderers biting tongue heed the Ill that
your own words may bring upon the mother,
the sister, or the wife, Of some fellow crea-
ture"

Gone moonlight night, while the shells of
the rebel batteries in Port Hudson were out
on regular bust directly over our line, some
of the staff the til Brig. wereholding pc
lite 5eaace in a leafy bower close within range
of the enemy's guns. One Of the number, a
I ''portly, grave and reverend senior officer,
lately appointed Provost Marshal to the di-
vision, was fast forgetting the noise of villain
Gus gunpowder overhead and beyond, through
! the nepenthelike virtues Of genuine mint
julep of his own conpounding. The wrink-
led front of grim visaged war was fast smooth
ing beneath the frequent flow of these uauSu-
al spirits, and the gallant Captain arose in po-
/ lite dignity to reply to toast with which his
name had just been coupled
/ Gentlemen, he began, modesty forbids

replied the beginning-to-be insulted officer, il
louder tone than before.
"Wbo-o-o ?' And this time the derisivt

the branches, and great owl flew suddenl!
out into the moonlight air, leaving the aston

last, lingering inquiry of ''Who-o-o?"

SFys1BLE.-It is certainly not in good taste
for gentleman to speak Of his ''lady' Or to
register their names upon the books of no.
tel as John Smith and lady," or to ask
friend, chow is your lady ?" This is all fash
ionable vuIgarity, and invariably betrays
lack of cultivation. The term wtje is far more
beautiful, appropriate and refined, whatever
may be said to the contrary. Suppose lady
were to say instead of ''My husband, "My
gentleman" or suppose we were to speak Of
Mrs. Fitz Maurice and her gentleman. -
The thing would be absolutely ludicrous, and
its diverse is none the less so, if rightfully
considered A mans wife is his wife, and not
his lady; and we marvel that this latter term
is not absolutely tabooed in such connec-
ton, at least by intelligent people. --Prori-
dence Post.

LEES CORNERS.

With golden hair, and ruby lips,
And smiles, like sunbeams stealing,
With fingers locked, and eyes upturned
A little girl is kpeel!ng.
The path of life before her lies;
No turn can she discover;
Sweet flowers are blooming on each side,
And angels round hel hover.
She rises now-her walk begins,
An empty basket carries;
She glides along, with step as free
And,light aslany fairy's;
And singing as she speeds along,
Her basket lines with flowers
Thus glides away her lifes May-day,
Thus pass her happiest hours.
But years roll on the little girl
Is now a charming Maiden
The basket which with flowers was lined,
Now with ich fruit is laden
The Bloom of health is on her cheek
But all : the tears have started
corner as been turned in life
Since she and gt'ltood parted.
A little while-and on her way
To woman grown-we meet her;
Her basket has grown heavy too
For, as life's 6ra0~1ea greet her,
She plucks them up, and casts them in,
And bleeding fingers warn her
That in the path she deemed so straight,
She's turned another corner.
And time flies on. A child again
In all but years-she's kneeling
Upon the spot where first she kaelt,
And up to heaven is stealing
Again prayer while at her side
Piled with rocks, the basket
Contains the gleanings of lite;
All what a joyl less casket.
The flowers, the fruits, the thorns, the rocks
She could no longer carry
For as her burden heavy grew,
Her failing limbs, grew We pry.
No matter now; She leaves her load
And brighter gems adorn her;
Again she speeds along the way
There is no other corner

A THoUGHT.-There are moments that
come but seldom in life-once, twice, thrice,
perhaps when we stand revealed to ourselves.
The key of destiny seems within our nerve

we seem compelled by some strong, invisible
agent, to unlock and enter the unknown re-
eion Just before u.s. but hidden from our visit
full gaze We have come through life so far !;
sometimes its pelting storms, its beating
Winds have well nigh made US shipwreck /;
then, again, its springs of soft indulgence, its
summer Of delicious and melting sunshine, have
borne down upon our steps, so that we were
weak and weary, yet we are here at another
point all untried, unknown; what shall we
do? to stand idle we cannot to retrace our
I steps we dare not, for night has closed in up
on our past. Shall we venture the unknown
| o God thou must be our guide. We look
not at the yawning chasms under our feet, nor
heed the biting cold, or darkness of the night.
| Our souls are nerved with high resolve, we
trust our way with thee, o God we place our
trembling hand in thine, and our step is firm
we press on; it is well with us.

The Latest News.

Gen. Bragg telegraphed to Adjutant General Coop
er on the oath, that prolonged struggle had taken
nIace between his forces and the enemy for Lookout
Mountain, and that he had sustained conSiueraoie
loss in one division. 1t was stated in other dlS-
matches that the enemy had gained some advantage
after most terrific fighting
dispatch from Richmond, in the Progress OF
Thursday morning, states that the enemy assaulted
lookout Mountain from the west side, with great
force The fight was still raging when the telegram
wss written. The enemy was said to be throwing
force across the Tennessee river at the mouth Oh
Chickamauga, and pressing round on the right OF
our forces
considerable portion of Gen. Braggs forces
were absent under Gen. Longstreet near Knox
yille-probably the best troops Gen. Bragg had
The enemy no doubt moved in greatly superior
force on our lines great battle has been fought,
and while We hope for the best we confess we fear
that General Bragg has been worSted. We snail
know the particulars in few days.
We have various reports from Knoxville. 1t is
stated that Burnside has fortified himself and would
attempt to hold the place at all hazards; and 1t is
also rumored that he has surrendered with seven
thousand men, to Gen. Longstreet.
Gen. Meades army said to be in motion on
the 25th. He had advanced his pickets, and gen.
eral action was thought to be probable.
Nothing new from Charleston The enemy con-
tinues to shell the forts.
S. There is rumor on the streets, which we
fear is we'll founded that Gen. Bragg has been de-
feated with heavy loss. A considerable portion OF
his troops said to have been captured. This, ii
true, is very distressing. 1t will open Georgia to
the triumphant march of the enemy. We fear also
that the enemy will now make demonstration on
Weldon, and again on Asheve, unless held in
check by Longstreet at Knoxville.

For the Standard


Mr.. EDITOR Your friends, the POstmasters are
suffering what l conceve, a great wrong at the
hands of the authorities at Richmond. 1t is this
in auditing their accounts, Mr.. Baker often makes
them pay postage for five quarters in year when
they have only collected for FOUR and when there
really is but that due. The Auditor takes this
ground; that whole quarters only are known to the
Department, and though man subscribe for pa
per the 1st of December he shall pay from the lst
of October. In the case of times week paper,
compelling the payment Of 60 cents where only 26
cents is due. The excuse for this course is, Sec.
132 of P o. Regulations which grew out of and was
entirely applicable to the system of prepayment of
postage and the deduction of opehalf therefor, and
which is repealed which reads thus: :: Postage
cannot be prepaid on regular newspapers or peri.
odicals for less term than quarter; and, in all
cases, postage must be paid on such matter at the
commencement Of quarter" If POStmasters are
required to pay for more than is delivered, they Will
exact the same from subscribers and many will SUIT
fer wrong thereby. The whole thing is perfectly
preposterous g.
