Be FRANK.-Be frank with the world
Frankness is the child of honesty and cour-
age. Say just what you mean to do on
every occasion, and take it for granted you
mean to do what is right If friend ask
you favor, you should grant it, if it is
reasonable if it is not, tell him plainly
why you cannot. You will wrong him and
wrong yourself by equivocation of any
kind. Never do a wrong thing to make
friend or to keep one; the man who requires
you to do so, is dearly purchased, and at a
sacrifice. Deal kindly and firmly with all
men and you will find it the policy which
wears the best. Above all do not appear
to others what you are not If you have
any fault to find with any one, tell him, not
others, of what you complain There is no
more dangerous experiment than that of
undertaking to be one thing to mans face
and another behind his back We should
live, act and speak out of doors, as the
phrase is, and say and do what we are will
ling should be known and read by all men.
1t is not only best as a matter Of principle
but as matter of policy.

WITH A LOCK OF HAIR,

Go to her breast, my envied curl
And if the way be cold and wet,
Cling to the bed Of liquid pearl,
Whose fragrant warmth breathes DER you vel
Twill swell around each silken ring,
As when my temples throbb'd above
And, truants ! when you closest cling,
Tell her you grew on thoughts of love!
Oh, wildly envied! you will lie
Upon that couch of rosy snow,
While passionately fast will fly
The warm transparent veins below.
And you will feel the dewy swell,
When dreams of love grow wild beneath,
And truants! as you love me well,
List if in sleep my name she breathe!
Go to my mistress! Softer fingers
VIII smooth your tangled meshes now,
And while the tapering pressure fingers,
VIII lay you to her lip and brow.
And when, amid her fragrant breath,
Each silllen fibre fondly stirs,
Oh, truants tell her until death,
My life my soul, thus thrill to hers!

CHARITY-Let my lips be sealed with
charity, that may open only for the good of
my Reighhors. Let my eyes be yelled with
charity, that they may rest ON good, and
that wickedness may be shut from my sight.
Let charity close my ears to all unkind and
malicious SANDER Let charity keep my
hands busy with profitable work, and my
feet turned in the path toward those whom
God hath given me power to benefit. May
charity keep my heart from secret sin from
evil imaginations, from the tempting whis-
pers of the evil one So that shutting
every door against uncharitableness, my
soul may be made strong in love to the Fa-
ther Of all men,

Nor GooD FOR Man TO BE ALoNE.-No one
will contend that there are no crimes com
mitted by married men. Facts would look
such an assertion out of countcnance But
it may he said with truth that there are
very few crimes committed by married
men, compared with the number committed
by those who are unmarried. What ever
faults Voltaire may have had, he certainly
showed himself man Of sense when he
said, "The more married men you have, the
fewer crimes there will be. Marriage rem
ders man more virtuOus and wise" An
unmarried man is but half perfect being,
and it requires the other half to make things
right and it can not be expected that in
this imperfect state he can keep the straight
path of rectitude any more than boat
with one oar, or a bird with one wing, can
keep straight course. In nine cases out
of ten, where married men become drunk
ards, or where them commit crimes against
the peace of the community, the foundation
of these acts was laid while in single
state, or where the wife is, as is sometimes
the case, an unsuitable match. Marriage
changes the whole current of mans feel
ings and gives him a centre for his thoughts
his affections, and his acts. Here is a home
for the entire man, and the counsel, the
affections, the example, and the interests
of his better half keep him from erratic
courses, and from falling into thousand
temptations to which he would otherwise
be exposed. Therefore, the friend to mar
riage is the friend to society and to his
country And we have no doubt but that
a similar effect is produced by marriage on
the woman though, from a difference in
their labors, and the greater exposure to
temptation on the part of the man, we have
no doubt but man reaps a greater advan-
tage from the restraining influences of mar
riage than woman does.

DEACON JOHNSON is a great temperance
man, and sets good example of total alb
stinence as far as he is seen. Not long ago
he employed carpenter to make some al
terations in his parlor, and in repairing the
corner near the fire place it was found ne
cessary to remove the &ainscoting, when
10! discovery was made that astonished
everybody. a brace of decanters, and
pitcher were cOzily reposing there, as if
they had stood there from the beginning.
The deacon was summoned, and as he be-
held the blushing bottles, he exclaimed
Wal, declare, that is curious, sure
enough. 1t must be that old Raines left
them there when he went out Of this house
thirty years ago"
Perhaps he did" returned the carpenter;
"but, Deacon, tee ice in the pitcher must
have been friz mightp hard to stay SO till

How NEAR WE ARE TO DEATH-When we
walk near powerful machinery we know
that one single mis-step, and those mighty
engines would tear us to ribbons with their
ponderous jaws. So when we are thunder
ing across the country on railways, and
there is but half an inch fange iron to hold
us on the track So when we are on the
sea in a ship and there is nothing but the
thickness of plank between US and etern-
ity. We imagine then that we see how
close we are to the edge Of the precipice
Be we do not see it. Whether on sea or
land the partition which divides us from
eternity is something thinner than an oak
plank or half an inch of fange iron. The
machinery of life and health is within US
The tissues which hold those floating pow
ers in their place are often not thicker than
a piece of paper, and if this thin partition
were ruptured or pierced it would be just
the same with US. Death is iuseparably
bound up with life in the structure of our
bodies. Struggle as we may to widen the
spaces, no man can be further from death
than the thickness of sheet Of paper

THE SPACE WHICH ARMIES OccUPY.-The
figures of Gen Sherman's combined army,
during the Atlanta campaign, footed up
generally about as follows 10000 ef-
fective fighting men, $500 wagons, 900
amhuances, $4,000 artillery, cavalry, am
bulance and draught horses, $500 private
horses, $4,000 mules ,Imaking an aggregate
in all of some 10000 animals.
These figures are simply enormous, and
will give the reader some slight conception
Of what an army really is, if he will but
consider them for moment. For example,
an army of l25,000 men marching in col
umn four abreast, and the intervals but six
feet apart, which is less than the interval
of troops on the march, would extend over
distance of thirty-five miles, without max
ing any allowance for the usual intervals
between regiments, brigades, divisions and
army corps. So with the wagons. On good
roads, where trains are kept well closed up,
it is calculated that each mule team will
occupy on an average about sixty lneal
feet; this would give about ninety teams to
the mile, large average on most marches,
so that $500 teams would ordinarily re-
quire about seventy miles. If the weather
or roads are bad, of course they will strug-
gle along indefinitely and thus require
much more. An ambulance on the march
usually occupies about forty feet so that
nine hundred ambuIances would occupy u
distance Of about seven miles. So with
the artillery. An army of Ia, 900 men will
usually have at least two guns to the 1000
men, which would make two hundred and
fifty guns, or say forty batteries of six
pieces each. Now, battery on a march,
as general thing, will occupy fully three
hundred yards, So that forty batteries alone
would take up about seven miles.
These figures, thus roughly taken, foot
up one hundred and nineteen miles, as the
free and easy marching distance of an ar
my of the size of the two great ones that
we have had operating East and West dur
ing the past campaign, and this, too, with
out counting in accurately the Bedonian
Arabs, the cavalry that always swarm "a
long for miles together, besides, in appar-
emily interminable columns. OF course no
General with moderate stock of brains
would ever think of marching his troops
thus in one continuous line, and hence the
necessity of parallel roads in moving an
army, to keep your troops massed and well
in hand.

HoRAC3 ERERIFY.

The Ckicago Republican thus photo
graphs Horace, the Philosopher:
Horace Greeley's eountenarice, which is
one of the handsomest in the world, shone
with greater beauty at Crosby's opera house
ON Tuesday evening than ever before
The towering forehead, instinct with noble
and humanitarian ideas, the smooth face,
red5lentwith benevolence, the gentle eyes,
sparkling with wisdom and shrewdness,
formed an imposing ensemble, such as is
not found in this or any other country.--
The only person who was somewhat like
Horace Greeley in commanding majesty
of brow and benevolent expression was the
late Alexander Won Humbolt As an
orator, Mr. Greeley makes up in earnest
ness and intensity what he lacks in rhetor-
ical force and brilhancy of elocution.-
Moreover, the remarkable electricity of
his genial presence, which combines with
the subHmity of the philosopher the sim
plicity Of the farmer, produces such an I'M
preston that the contemplation of the man
absorbs the Imagination much more
than anything he says. Yet whatever
he says is full of living ideas, and his every
word is replete with deepthought and sug
gestive of benefcent action. His sayin gs
and preeepts will be treasured by a future
genera6on asthose Of Franklin are by the
present; and when many of the more con
spicuous or more brilliant actors upon the
present stage of public life are forgotten,
Horace Greeley will be remembered as
one of the most unselfsh and greatest of
men and 'refor1ners of this or any other
country.

aoWe know not when we have seen 20
much in so little as in the speech Of Gen.
Butler to the Massachutts Republican
Convention, wherein he gives the defini-
ton 9of athe two issues before the country
There are tive theories; ;one. ,iss tAstthe
rebellious States lost none of their rights
by rebellion, so that when armed rebellion
was crushed the States sprTsng into AL
their former rights. The other theory is,
that thess, ,rebellious States, banded I'M a
new confederacy defying us as enemies,
lost none of their rights under the Con-
stitution. They were. no less subjects,
because they were traitors, They must
take the position into which they hayekol-
unfairly placed themselves, until by acts
meet for repentance, they shalli show
themselves fit for government founded
on republican denoeracy,which shall give
laurels to our enemies at home and
abroad. 4 Applause On these twOissues
the two great political parties will meeton
different lines. idi 10 -tfuJ .di hsd9tFH N
..o Democratic party adopts the first the
ory, to wit: That the rebelliDus States
by the cessation of armed hostihties, are
restored to their exact former position|-rl
The Union party represent the second:
That wherein they have forfeited their
former rights, and cannot have any such
rights restored save SO far as can be- done
with safety to the Union. In other words
the South must give guarantee for the flu
ture against any rebellion growing out of
the cause which produced the present one.
