end to another. 1t was one con-
tlnued hurry-a succession of clean
ings, and whitewashings, and pol
ishings, which never came to an
end-never brought one grain OF
comfort, for no time was given to
enjoy them. Mind, body and soul
were neglected. that imaginary
notes might be put to flight. II it
is true that virtues IN excess become
vices, Mrs. Mel had the vice Of
tidiness in the most distressing de-
gree. "Decenay and IN or.tcr' Is a
Scriptural Injunction, but where the
higher moral and social duties are
all neglected for the low pursuit OF
house cleaning perpetually, 1t be-
comes a sin. Do you instruct your
children daily in the word of God
and bring them with you to Him
IN PRAYER? Are you careful to in
form them in those departments that
will make them acceptable and use
ful members of society? Do you
make home the pleasantest spot in
the world for your family, thus
guarding them from the dangerous
outside influences which will lead
them down to the gates OF death
These and like considerations are
OF far greater moment than whether
your house is spotless. TIE object
of cleanliness is to promote the
comfort, order and refinement of the
household-when i: brings abou
directly opposite results, is it no
the extreme of untidiness?-4i'

BEAR WITH NE.
II MARIE RosEAU.

Bear with me, though I'm often wrong.
And seem all folly, weakness, sin;
For still sometimes vainly long,
Urged by monitor within,
To live nober, better life;
To act at all times only right;
To grid my spri. in its might.
And conquer in the holy strife.
Though but seem careless one,
Unheeding of the better way,
Content an aimless race to run.
Or mid forbidden scenes to stray;
Still bear with me-a better thought
Is often with my folly frausht;
And oft in sadness have wcpt
A, solemn promises unkept-
Have mourncd to find this wayward heart
So apt to wound-,o err so prone
Careless what pangs it may impart--
And then | wish might atone
For all the pain | e'er have given;
For all the words unkindly said;
For ties of love my faults have riven,
And saddened hearts my errors made.
Bear with me-and believe it now,
/ would not thou should'st ever know
One pang Of grief, one thought of woe,
Or that one shadow cloud thy brow
The wrong is done all hecdlessly--
would no: force one sigh from thee.
Bear with mo, AID there still my DO
\ better lot in store for me,
Imiy not always thus be ,ound
\ wanderer on mistaken ground;
vet my rouse me from the earth,
Fulfill the purpose of my birth;
Act ou. u heart that's full OF love
To all below and all above;
4 heart that ever strives to he
From sinful thoughts and actions free
More worthy OF itself aud thee.

popularity with the masses, and ls
nowlse likely to be nominated for
president. Aside from this attack
on Mr.. Chase, Mr.. Phillips's
speech on the amnesty Will be very
valuable and useful. His influence
on this contest has been prodigious.
This has been emphatically the
peoples war. From the day Of
the great uprising, after Sumter,
everything has been done by the
people. Lincoln, Seward and the
rest, hayo. been walters, not upon
Providence, but upon public opin
ion. Luckily they have not always
reckoned the votes at the elections
as public opinion; if they had, we
should have had a revocation OF
the proclamation before January,
1863. But they have had sense
enough to see that the voice of the
wisest is the voice OF the people,
or soon will be. 1t is the pertina-
cious and ildelatigable efforts with
tongue and pen and money of the
earnest men of the North, led on
by the radical leaders, which has
brought public opinion at last into
the right channels. Among the
foremost Of these leaders has been
Mr.. Phillips. His splendid elo-
quence has brought hearers to him,
and his sharp. ineisive way, has
compelled the newspapers to print
what he says, and so, between hear
ers and readers, he has reached al
most everybody. But he is not a
&" candid man! Thank heaven
for that! Times of peril and revo
luton are not times for candor. -
Let the historian of the year 1864
tell the world what he thinks Of the
comparative merit of different men
and different plans; but if anybody
has got an opinion or a conviction
now let him state 1t, and enforce
it, and drive ii home. Give me the
urgent whip, rather than the "can
did" breeding, for such times a.

THIRD YEAR OF TIE REBEL
LICN.
BosToy, Dec. 81.

DOcIoN, DeC. Ol.
Well, so cnds the third year of
the rebellion, II we reckon, with
out precise rc.crence to days, from
the Leginning. This puts one IN
mind of a mot OF one oil our supreme
court Judges. On the day when we
heard OF the fall Of Sumter before
Gillmore's batteries, some one told
Judge Fl. OF it, and added the re-
mark that "'tIis is the beginning of
the end" II think" said the Judge,
cit is the end OF the beginning. -
The actual beginning, | suppose,
was the seccssi5a Of South ClrolI
na,-perhaps the resignation OF the
first l.. ). officer who threw up his
office in Charle tol, and t!.iS, / be-
leve, was TIE day after the teIe-
graph announced L!ncolns election
The rascals were p.onpt enough
no doubt OF th.t. There does not
seem To be much reason for des-
pondency at the end oi the llrst year
OF emancipation. Ii we are in nc
such state OF eXd.liritIon as we
were SIX month aI1, when Gettys-
burg and EjtkSUHr5 a VS. burst up

a victorious close oi the war. A

THE NEGRO FIT FOR FREEDOM.


The Boston Courier publishes a
communication from a gentleman
whom il endorses as long resident
al the South, and thoroughly ac-
quainted with the slaves, who gives
this explicit testimony as TO their
capacity to maintain themselves:
They are a race of practical and
experienced agricuIturists. Hardly
a plaltatlon is found where there
are not black men who are as COM
petent 10 conduct with success the
whole practical agriculture of the
place as their masters were, for
whom they once labored. i ven-
ture the assertion that, beginning
with the humber classes in northern
communities, there cannot be found
/ five millions Of farm iaborers who
have more practical skill with farm
ing tools, and more direct knowl-
edge OF conducting the main opera
tions in agriculture than these five
millions of negro Americans
Large numbers OF them are found,
also, 10 understand all the main
features of that system of religion
50 wonderfully adapted to every
grade OF human intelligence, that
system in which faith in a crucified
and risen Savior, is more than a
substitute for every other knowl.
edge and all other rites. | suppose
we are safe in assuming that there
are five hundred thousand of these
blacks who, in point of Christian
light and Christian practice, will
compare favorably with the con-
vets from paganism made by tho
labofs Of our foreign missionaries.

1t was reported and believed yesterday
morning that Hagerstown was in posses

ing was going on yesterday afternoon.
The same accounts also say that fighting
was going on at or near Sharpsburg, the
Federal forces being commanded by Gen
