B6r The Des Moines Statesman pro.
poses to publish the speech of Mr.. Long,
Of Cincinnati, in order to familiarixe its
readers with the idea Of acknowledging
the independence of the Southern Con-
fedaracy, which Long boldly advocates.
We give the pith and spirit of that
speech in the following brief extract:
81 believe there are but two alterna-
tivcs, and these are, either an acknowl-
edgment of the independence ofthe South
rs an independent nation. or their CON-
plete snbjugation and determination - q
people and Of these alternatives,.I prefer
the former"
That is the proposition which the
member advocated on the floor of Con.
gress. The independence Of the South
is what he chose as the best thing now
possible.
E Now, We hold that man has just as
good right, morally, to fight for the inde-
pondence of the South as to speak for il.
and Long is as much of traitor rs the
men who are in arms against their coun-
try.

The Wise Words Of an Idiot.

A POOR boy was struck on the skull.
He had no skillful doctor to attend him
and so small bit of the bone which
ought to have been removed was left
pressing On the brain. For this cause
the boy became an idiot
1t may seem strange to you, but it
was so, nevertheless, that although this
boy could not learn his A B G, he. did
learn to love Jesus. If his teacher told
him that any particular act would please
Jesus, he would do it without regard to
the obstacles in his way. If he was
told that certain act would offend Je-
sus, nothing could persuade or compel
him to do it. In this the idiot was
wiser than most boys.
When this idiot became man in
years and size, he remained child in
mind and feeling Children were his
companions and not men. He was very
fond Of the Sunday -school 1t was his
heaven on earth. He went about getting
scholars for it, and was very great help
to it. 9
On eSunday, many of the larger boys
made up their minds to quit. eve are
too big to go to sunday-school,n y said
they Their teachers told them how
foolish theE-were- to talk thus. They
even wept over the rebels, but it was all
in vain. The boys had allowed an evil
spirit to enter their hearts, and they
would quit the school even though their
folly should prove their ruin.
Then this poor idiot rose in the school
and uttered words which made their ears
tingle. Said he:
"The Bible says, them that God has
given much to he'll expect great deal
OF. Now boys, he haint given but lit
tie speck to me, SO he won't ask much
of me; but if he gin me as much senses
as he has yeu, I'd be afraid to look him
in the face if behaved as you do. .
These wise words went right to the
hearts of the rebels. They saw their
folly and repeated. The poor idiot SUBJ
dued them. IS n
hope our readers viii study the idiots
speech. God has given you much, my
children, and be viii require much at
your hands. You knoao your duty. Kind
teachers, loving parents, charming books,
the Holy Bible have been your instrne-
tors. Jesus expects you all to be very
obedient, very loving. very holy. VIII
you disapr Jint and grieve the blessed
!! Saviour by scing wiekeds Ihops not.

that scol,,ing is the parent of meagerness
who ever saw plump termagant? The
virago is scraggy--scrageeiness is the badge
of all her tribe. 1t would seem that the at
traction of fierce, exciting temper gives
sharpness to the human frame as inevitably
as a gritty grindstone puts wiry edge on
o broad axe. Artists understand this fact,
and govern themselves accordingly. They
invariably represent ladies supposed to be
