A southern Picture.

In Southern Mississippi there hordes of
poor whites in the lowest depths of ignorance
and degradation. A friend of Mr.. Hepworth at
tempted to speak with some of them on the sub
iect of religion.
After he had talked with a number of strag-
glers. he entered one of the low huts, and began
to converse with the ancient dame. Soon four
sons came in and joined in the conversation;
then the old man, the patriarch. He was the
only one who made any pretensiOns to know
ANYTHING of God, or duty. My friend spoke of
the Lord He told of His sufferings and at last
exclaimed, /" And it was He the dear son of God,
YOU know, who died that we might live"
The family all stared. The patriarch alone
failed to be startled. Leaning forward, and
putting his right hand behind his ear to enable
him to catch every sound, he cried out:
"Misterl you say it was the Son of God who
died7"
"Yes, my friend, and He died on the Cross. '
"You are sure it was the SOnF'
"Yes. WhyT'
"Oh, nothin! only 1 alters thought it was the
old man.
This anecdote is sacrilegous; but it bespeaks
a degree of moral depravity and of wOeful ignO-
rance such as can be found in only two places
in the South, and in Central Africa.

REUNION IN HEAvEN.-How short is the
earthly history of family! a few short years,
and those who are now embraced in a family
circle will be scattered. The children, now the
objects offender solicitude, will have grown up
and gone forth to their respective stations in the
world. A few years more, and children, and
parents will have passed from this earthly
stage. Their name will be no longer in their
present dwelling. Their domestic loves and
anxieties, happiness and sorrows, will be a lost
and forgotten history. Every heart in which
it was written will be moulding in the DUST
And is this all? Is this the whole satisfaction
which is provided for some strong feelings OF
our hearts? How can such transitOry beings,
with whom our connection is so brief, engage
all the love we can feel? Why should not our
feelings towards them be as feeble and unsatis-
fying as they? But, blessed be Godl this is
not all. Ofthis he has given us perfect assur-
ance in the Gospel of his Son. Though TO the
eve of unenlightened nature the ties of domestic
love seem scattered into dust, the spiritual eye
of faith perceives that they have been loosened
on earth only to be resumed under far happier
circumstances in the region of everlasting love
and bliss Though the history of a family may
seem to be forgotten when the last memory of
it is laid in the grave, the memory of it still
lives in mortal souls; and when the circle is
wholly dissolved on earth, it is again completed
in heaven.

Gen. Grant appears to have been acting from
the beginning Of his first campaign upon fixed
principle-to take away from the rebels what
ever they declare themselves least able to spare.
In January, 1862, it was rumored that the rebel
capital would presently be removed to Nash
vifle Grant determined to be beforehand with
Davis, moved upon the works of Fort Donelson,
and after very unhandsomely capturing the gar
rison, with General Buckner, took possession of
Nashville.
Next Mr.. Davis announced to all the world
that the fate of the Confederacy depended upon
the fate of Vicksburg. Hereupon Grant moved
down and captured that place.
East Tennessee was next declared to be abso-
lutely necessary to the safety of the rebel
The untiring Grant no sooner heard this than
he sent Sherman to Knoxville to drive off Long
street, and leisurely drove Bragg away from
Chattanooga.
1t is now Mr.. Davis's turn, will he kindly
mention another point the possession of which
is necessary to his peace OF mind and to the sue
cess of his plot against the Union? Gen. Grant
waits.

General Mcneil, in speech welcoming

| and mrny others have stood here, the
faithful sentinels over every mans negro.
They dared this rebellion in order to open
the slave trade. They were afraid of the

ThurIow Weed,s scheme.

Thurlow Weed has written anotherOf his era
zy fool letters in favor of repeating the poor
mans law, the Homestead Act. He might Just
as well spend his time in a blowing match
against the West wind, as in trying to get that
Western measure annihilated. In the first place
the Senate will not pass repeating bill; sec
ond, the House dare not; third, the President
would veto it if passed, quicker than streak of
lightning; fourth, the people would veto both
President and Congress, if they committed such
an act of suicidal folly.
The way to derive revenue from the public
lands for the support ofthe Government and the
payment of the interest on the national debt is
to populate them-put family on each quarter
section, and the Government will make ten
times more money out of them than by holding
them for sale to money pioneer emigrants who
who are not at all as flush as lobby corruption
lists.
The Chicago Tribune said that, and we en-
dorse it. Thurlow's Weeds scare-scrow
schemes will find no abiding place beyond AL
bany.

General assured them he had made all the pro-
posals that an honorable nation could make
The General in the afternoon inspected the camps

telling them they should have everything that

A Touching Incident.

The following incident which occurred at the
Presidents house, will appeal to every heart
1t reveals unmistakably, the deep kindness of
the Presidents character:
At the reception Saturday afternoon at the
Presidents house many persons present noticed
three little girls poorly dressed, the children of
some mechanic or laboring man, who had follow
ed the visitors into the House to crafty their
curiosity. They were passed from room to room,
and were passing quickly through the reception
room with some trepidation when the President
called to them. Little girls! are you going to
pass me without shaking hands?' Then he bent
his tall, awkward form down, and shook each
little girl warmly by the hand. Everybody in
the apartment was spell-bound by the incident,
so simple in ITSELF yet revealing somuch of Mr.
Lincoln's character"
