HUMILIATIXG, TRULY.

1t is enough to pain the heart of the South

The President invited us to elect, we ubeyed.
At the outset, we did not have the condition

ratifed it. Then came the demand for the
reputation of State debts, incurred during
the days Of the Coniederacy-th HIS been
acquiesced in. Then that our people must
elect us their choice, those who were m0tthcir

to this; others could not give UP the little of

proportion that they are complied with
This is neither fair nor equitable.

that, as far as the Republican party is con-

our masters! Their action does not cOmport
with that of the President, who sought ''to
restore the constitutional relations Of the
States" by ihf1ting them "to participate in
the high office of amending the Constitution y

THE BEST EAY.-When the honeymoon
passes away, setting, behind dull mountains,
or dipping SLIGHTLY into the stormy sea of life,
the trying hour of married life has come
Between the parties there are no more iIlu-
sions. The feverish desire of possession has
gone, and all excitement receded. Then
begins, or should, the business of adaptation.
If they find they do not love each other as
they thought they did, they should double
their assiduors attention to each other, and be
jealous of everything which tends in the
slightest way to separate them.
Life Is too precious to be thrown away in
secret regrets or open differences. And let
me say to all those to whom the romance of
life has fed, and who are discontentedi in the
slightest degree With, their conditions aud
relations, begin this reconciliation at once
Renew the attention of earlier days.
Draw your hearts closer together: Talk the
thing all over. Acknowledge your faults to
each other, and determine henceforth you
will be all in all to each other; and, my
word for it, you will find in your relation the
sweetest Joy earth has for.you. There is no
other way for you to do. IF yon arc happy
at home, you must be happy abroad; the man
or woman who has settled down upon the
conviction that he or she IS ATTACHED for life
to an uicohgenial yotefellow, and there is
no way of escape, has lost. life; there is no
effort too costly to make which clti restore to
its settling upon the bosom the missing pearl
