In looking lpon the children, and upon the
grown persons too, the speaker said he could
not but think Of the heavy task and responsi.
biity devolving upon those who rear children,
and especially upon the mothers. The speaker
then eloquently referred to the ancient Roman
mothers, who ever took pride in infusing proper
ideas into the minds Of those who afterwards
became distinguished in life. They should be
reared with view to future usefulness; fer
much depends upon how they are educated in
youth. The daughters should be raised to fit
them for the high and exalted duties Of wives
and mothers. And much in this world depends
upon woman. Her mind properly prepared and
cultivated, she has an almost omnipotent pow.

bear aloft; when we look upon the brave men

that we can best preserve this government if
we rear up our people properly, and make this,

CEN. HARRIS TO THE FREEDMEN. On
Thursday night.a large collection of tie colored
population assembled at the African Baptist
Church, to listen to speech from Gen. + Har {
ris. The meeting was opened with prayer by
Rev. DR.. Green. Among the leading. citizens
present, we noticed His Honor, Mayor Slaugh-
ter, y. wv. Sener, Recorder, w. 7. Conway,
e. HI. G. Rowe and Major Chas. Villains,
Postmaster. sss.
Gen. Harris said in substance that he had
called them together to address them upon y,
subjects in which they were interested. :, Inc
object of the Warion the part cot the South was
TO make slavery perpetual. The North took
nm arms TO perpetuate the Union and not to
overthrow slavery. Slavery persisted by the
war and he looked upon its downfall as the
decree Of Providence. He was here to address
them as freed people. Freedom don t mean
to do nothing and steal Freedom means to
work for yourselves and enjoy the profits OF It..
IF YOU don work you will get to stealing, and
then you will lose your freedom, because you
will be taken up as Migrants or thieves. In
The freedom to work and to enjoy profits OF 1T
YOU will always be protected. The most I'M
nortant thing for you to do hereafter, is to es-
tahlish good character for honesty, integrity
and industry. This will always secure you re
spect and employment.

The General said that after the first Of Decsn-

cspt to the aged, the young, and the HELPLESS

fine past has been acting mastering ON
Ger of the regular army, in Baltimore
r,s arrested on Wednesday afternoon
at his office, by Captain E. L. Sherman

the charge of defrauding the Government
by forging papers, which are known in
army circles as descriptive lists. 1t was
proven that for some time past Beckwith
has been defrauding the United States
Government of considerable sums, 10y the
forging of military discharges. For IN
stance, one man received the sum Of 1878

NOVEL READING Theirs are some good
people who look upon Il man who reads
novels as a sort of heather. These per-
sons make no discrimination between
novels, can see no difference between Bull
wer and Cobb. 1t is sufficient for them
that it bears the odious name of norel. If
it is called an Interesting Narrative"
aud is not published in book form, they
read it with delight. They listen to an
everyday story of love told by neigh
Dor, with eagerness, but would not read
it at all if it should be written by n man
oflearning and talent. Still, there is a
great deal of trash among the novels
nowadays We sympathize with the
English writer who complains thus:
Verify, of. the writing of novels there
is no end, and the most industrious critic,
slave he never so hard, is ever overtaken
by the stream. Let him think that, one
week, having cleared his table of its &C
cumulated heap of fictitious literature,
he may, the next, enjoy an interval Of re-
pose, and he is sure to find himself mis-
taken. The next week brings fresh
supply as approximately demanding a
notice as if each separate volume were a
daughter of the horseback, and as if his
labors were to rival those of Sisyphus in
their wearisome duration Of course
there is public which buys and reads
these sort of things, or publishers would
hardlyrisk their money in such ventures;
bat, surely, such public must have a
NAV not inferior to that of Gargantua,
or of the ogre who bolted Tom Thumb,
mot the general,) that it should crave
such inordinate supplies Of pabulum
