A REMARKABLE BoY.-We had the pleas
ure, yesterday, of an interview with re-
markable boy. His name is Dudley Wal
ter. His memory is prodigous. Although
only eight years of age, he can recite over
five hundred pieces: while he can repeat,
verbatim a lecture or sermon, which he
has heard but once. Nor does he seem
less singularylendowed with regard to the
other mental faculties. He is a natural Or
ator, and recites the most difficult pieces,
both prose and poetry, with wonderful cor
rectness and dramatic effect. He has an
Unsuitable thirst for knowledge; reads
everything-remembers everything-and
grasps the most difficult thought with the
strength of mental athlete. His powers
of observation-are striking. Nothing es-
capes him. There is nothing morbid about
him. He has a splendid physique; is full
of fun and frolic, and makes everybody who
sees him love him. He is entirely self
taught He was an orphan from infancy,
was brought up by friend of his mother
IN humble circumstances, from whom he
learned his letters. All his subsequent ed
ucation he got himself He does not rank
among those abnormal beings called prodi-
gies-he is something higher and better.
No one can see him without becoming i'm
pressed with the idea that he is remarka-
bly, but healthfully gifted.-ABony jour.

Mcclellan and JefrDayis.

Col. Metcalfe, of Kentucky, made rad
ical Union speech at public <meeting in
that State few days since, in which he
thus showed how Gen. Mcclellan regard
ed the chief of rebel leaders He said:
l got my eyes opened on that young Ma
poleon in the Spring of 1861. Iwent to
see Gen. Mcclellan, and in the course OF
the conversation l said to him that JEFF.
Davis was scoundrel and repudiator.-
He (McCleIlan) Strengthened himself up
quickly, and said: 81 do assure you, sir,
that you are mistaken. jeff Davis is a
perfect gentleman, and viii not do any
thing unbecoming gentleman. Well,
if a traitor, conspirator thief repudiator,
and the chief devil who is instigating all
this murder is his beau ideal of perfect
gentleman" ] hope our country may
never be cursed with his standard of NOR
ality and virtue at the head of affairs.

Copperhead InsoIence.

Six Copperheads of Marion county, Ind,
learned that Judge Daniel r. Smith, of that
county, had a contraband in his employ,
sent him the following insolent note on the
5th inst:
''We, the undersigned, being apprised
that YOU have in your employ for staying
at your house,) negro contrabmd,' and
believing it to be incompatible with the
social interests of this community, we re-
spectfully request YOU to dispensewith him
Immediately, or we will reluctantly feel it
our duty to taket the trouble off your hands.
We viii give you until Saturday evening
next, at six o'clock, to remove the negro
from our midst, aud if not attended to by
that tine we will take the matter into our
own hands"
1t is needless to say the demands of the
Copperheads will not be conceded.

A Facetious General.

Since the advent of Gen. Logan's splen-
did corps at Huntsville, Alabama, the
rooms in the principal hotels have been in
demand. A beautiful and accomplished
actress has been staying at She Huntsville
Hotel, and in "a minute, minute and halt,
or two minutes" after she had vacated her
room, the gallant Gen. L. was assigned to
it by the landlord. The General on exam
lining his bed previous to retiring, found a
most snowy robe de nuit neatly folded under
his pillow, marked in delicate characters
with the name of the fair owner The
chambermaid was called, and asked by the
General, holding the garment in his hand /:
"Do you know Miss Lottie Hough?"
"Yes," answered the girl.
'Then carry this to her with my compli-
ments, and say Gen. L. is not in the habit
of sleeping with empty night-gowns.-

Mississippi, and attacked them. A sharp
engagement ensued, resulting in our sue
cess. The rebels who were under the inn

retreat, leaving in our hands a good por-
ton of their supply train, The exact num-
Der of ofwagons, horses and mules that Grier-
son captured is not yet known here
Our loss was slight. No report of the
entire loss of the rebels has been sent in.

PolffieaI.

A recent number of the Michigan Jour
'edi, an able and enterprising German dai-
ly paper of Detroit, had manly remons-
trance against the attempt making by GER
tain of the German Radicals to break up
the Republican party. 1t says: '1tis an
undeuiable fact that the Republican party
alone is at present in condition to make
effective opposition TO the Democratic; if
1t falls to pieces through collisions and
quarrels, the Democrats can count upon
certain victory, and this is the reason why
they seek to increase the division between
the radicals and the conservatives. They
did it some time ago by damning the rad
icals to the lowest he'll, and they desitnow
by flattering them upon the soundness of
their views and the strength Of their char
acteE. For ourselves we have sacred re-
spect for such fiattery, and think there is
no special danger in going with that party
which is damned by the copperheads.-
Upon these grounds, we hold that the only
Just line of political action is to press for
ward the Republican party by setting up
radical demands. If we do not win every
thing at one stroke we shall, at least, lose
nothing, which could be looked for with
certainty from a victory ofthe Democratic
party. We can safely assert that among
the Americans we shall find none who
would give us full guarantees for the car
rying out of the Cleveland platform, and,
with Fremont himself we would be obliged
to content ourselves witha partial payment.
We see no reason why we should wanton-
ly destroy the party which has hitherto led
in the battle against slavery, because we
cannot have all our claims paid at once
Only those can desire this who cry out in
boyish arrogance, orin foolish over-estima-
ton of themselves, 'either everything or
nothing"

An Item which Every Man shouId Read.


We have probably all of us met with
instances in which word heedlessly spo-
ken against the reputation of woman has
been magnifed by malicious minds, until
the cloud has become dark enough to
overshadow her whole existence. To those
who are accustomed-not necessarily from
bad motives, but from thoughtlessness-
to speak lightly of females, we recommend
the ''hints" as worthy of consideration
Never use a lady's name in an improper
place, at an improper time, or in mixed
company. Never make assertions about
her that you think are untrue, or illusions
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 reckless and uuprineipled manner,
shun them, for they are the very worst
members of society-lost to every senti-
ment of honor-every feeling of humanity.
Many good and worthy woman's charac-
ter has been forever ruined, and her heart
broken by lie, manufactured 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 Dragging re-
port A SANDER is soon propagated, and
the smallest thing derogatory to woman's
character will fly on the wings of wind, and
magnify as it circulates until its monstrous
weight crushes the poor unconscious vic
tim. Respect the name of woman, for
your mothers and sisters are women; and
as you would have their fair names unfair
nished, and their names unembittered by
the slanderous biting tongue, heed the i'll
that your own words may bring upon the
mother or sister, or the wife of some fel-
low creature.-O. S. Journal.

THE QUESTION.

There are many weighty questions, but
none more SO than the question put by our
Lord, ''Whst shall it profit man if he
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul"
Reader, did you ever ponder this ques-
ton? You may have heard it before
many times, perhaps-did you ever seri-
ously and prayerfully consider it, and try
to answerit? You carry about with you
an immortal soul 1t may be lost; and
once lost not all the present world affords
can compensate for the irreparable dam
age. You may make many foolish bar
gains, but if you part with your soul for
aught this world contains, it viii be the
worst bargain you ever made. 1t will re-
quire an eternity to measure it,and through
eternity you will deplore it Lost! Oh,
the meaning of that word! Who can de-
pict the agonies ofa lost soul? ''Who can
sound those depths of despair-that flame
unquenchable-tha worm undying-that
wall impassable-those MORNINGS unpit-
ied-those blasphemies unutterable-those
remembrances ofagony-that future with
out hope, and without end % o sinner, if
you have one thought of escaping this
dreadful doom, dismiss it motif you have
any, the least, solicitude for your soul, in
crease it; ifyou feel one solitary impulse,
act upon it-put by the urgency of busi-
ness, and the attractions of pleasure, the
solicitations of sin, and sinful associates,
put by everything, till you have secured,
through repentance and faith, an immortal
inheritance.
Believe, and take the promised rest;
Obey, and be forever blest.

A SONG OF THE YOUNG WIFF,s HEART


By L. VIRGINIA FRENCH
The hghtfades out from the purple hills,
The woodlands are turning brown,
On rock and river, and musical rills
The shadows are coming down.
a faint blue fingers along the sky.
And over the mountain height
Oh speed dark hours, like swift birds by,
For HE must be home tonight.
See nestled soft in their snowy beds
Ger which the ire-hght CLOVIS
Peep out three golden curly heads
And cheeks Of the richest rose;
The board is spread with its dainty cheer,
The tapers are all alight
MY flowers blOom-but-can this be fear?
Oh WILL he come tonight?
Mine eyes are bright-it's because they see
And mirror with faithful shine,
The stars of love thou wilt bring with thee
In those soft dark eyes of thine?
And the golden CLEANS like the sun on streams
And the floating of fancies light
That viii dance Ger my heart in its gladstone
If thou wilt come home tonight.
, Ny cheek saglow, It's because I'm drest,
In his fancy's favorite hue,
Come tell me- Elsie, do 'look my best
In this robe of richest hue
Is my hair in the way he loves, you know,
Is the fall of the ringlets right2
Do you think me vain? All, it is not So
But-HEwil be home tonight
''Look well, y you say? L am glad the while,
And l hope he will note the glow,
And the lighted eye and the sunny smile,
Which charmed him-so long ago.
KNOW that my summers are passing away,
That I'm NOT as beautiful-quite-
L know what HE Ii say, with his smile so gay,
If he should come tonight.
Yes, think he u come; O. er the crimson KEYS
Of my heart doth music swell,
Like the soft, sweet, Ginning of distant seas
Through the folds of a lonely shell;
And SOMETHING that's of neither earth nor air.
But endowed with an angels might,
Has met my spiris and whispered there,
''Rest, HE will be home tonight"
Oh God be thanked who has kept him safe
In his wanderings wild and wide;
And guided him back like precious waif
Astray on stormy tide.
Hal there's the train. with a signal shrill,
Oh dark hours speed your flight
OH soul reloice-Oh heart be still
HEHAsooME-HE HAS COME TONIGHT.

FAsHIoN's DoNGs.-An exchange speaks
of the results ofa blind devotion to fashion
as follows: '|The truth is, devotion to fash
ion is undermining the public health and
private virtue of this generation. The sin
of extravaganza is not the only one it be-
Sets-and fit starves the mind and some
times the stomach for show, it also saps the
morality and undermines the religious
sentiment ola great many weak women.
For all this an account is to be rendered,
and a settlement made-and long ac-
count and fearful settlement it will be to
many of the thoughtless throng who have
given themselves up to the frivolities of
fashionable life"
