aud according to the teachings Of this Pharisaical

sent credentials at the calling over the roll OF
States, the Clerk will be compelled to enter their
names, and thus they may participate in the organ
izaton of the House. But there is q supplement

section and unless that is repealed there is MOTH

to its provisions but to don their hats and leave

oath" and was adopted in 1862, during the exis-
tence of the war, and is not therefore necessity
at this time. No honorable, high-mindcd public
man within our knowledge Gun subscribe to its
declarations, and if insisted upon will insure the
re-cnacting of that memorable scene in 1860. when
the Southern members retired from this self-samc
body, with the single difference, that then it was
of their own volition, and now it will be from the
unjust and unnecessary action of men who should
be willing to evince spirit of fairness md libc-

With calmness and dignity the South can afford
to wait upon the action of Congress in the premi-

GEN. POPE AND THE ASSISTANT
SECRETARY OF WAR.

Here is little story about General Pope
which teaches one of the fine moral lessons
which are always so delightful:
heard, while at Pillow, an anecdote of
Gen. Pope-an officer of ability, but some
times very unpleasant man, with POM
pous and hectoring manner-which will
bear repetition. While at his headquarters
the General was approached by rather
small, plalnIooking, and entirely unassum-
ing man, in citizens attire, with the ques-
ton -
Are you Gen. Pope, sir?"
That is my name, was the answer in a
rather repelhng tone
1 would like to see you, then, on mat
ter of business"
Call on my adiutant, sir. He will ar
range any business you may have =
But | wish to have a personal eonversa-
ton with you.
.'See my adjutant," in an authoritative
voice.
But"
Did | not tell you to see my adjutant?
Trouble me no more, SIR and Pope was
walking away.
My name is Scott, General, +" quietly re-
marked the small plain man.
'Confound you! What do | care" thun-
dered Pope, in rising passion, IF your
name is Scott, or Jones, or jenkins, or
Snooks, for the matter of that? See my
adjutant, | tell you, fellow! Leave my
presencel"
i am, continued the quiet man, in his
quiet way, ''the Assistant Secretary of War,
and"
What a revolution those simple words
made in the Generals appearance and man
nerl
His angry, naughty, domineering air was
dispelled in moment, and flush Of confu-
sion passed over his altered face.
beg your pardon, Mr.. Scott, had no
idea whom was addressing. Pray be seat
ed; | shall be happy to grant you an inter
view at any time.
Possibly very close observer might have
seen faint, half lfcontemptuous smile on the
Secretary lips, though he said nothing, but
began to unfold his business without COM
ment
After that unique interview Pope and the
Assistant Secretary were very frequently
together, and / venture to say the latter
had no reason subsequently to complain of
the Generals rudeness. York Ta6-

WORDS.

Words words how swiftly they fly -
What mighty engines for good or evil
Diverse in their nature, they fash along
over the wires, and along the columns of the
press; filing the hearts with hope, on fear,
Joy or sorrow, felicity or despair.
There are words that never die, whose
memory, like the sandal wood, ever sends
up a halowed breath; and words which pass
with the breath of the speaker away There
are words which carry healing to the sad
heart, and words which crush and blight
the young joyful hopes Of the bravest spirit.
Yes, words are mighty things, and how
carelessly we use them; bright, sharp weap-
ons, quite as telling in their nature, as Min
ME balls and Sharpe's rifles a
Sharper than a two-edged sword they
cleaye through nerve and marrow, making
wounds that never heal, fostering and cank-
eriDg, though sometimes covered over BY the
withered leaves, and flowers that choke and
moulder in every human heart or by the
shattered wrecks of the dead hopes and ioys
that are foreyersettling slowly, surely, down
ward to grave from which there is no res
direction; but they are there, and there they
stay forever.
Words, gentle, sincere and kind, from
warm, full heart, make friends which death
hath no power to sever
Words elevated and refined, ennoble and
make better-peaIls, diamonds, or sharp cut
ting weapons of which we all inherit goodly
store. Do you ever think, dear reader, how
you use them and whether pearls, diamonds
or envenomed darts are most frequently in
reoGiSition2

THE POET BRYANT.

Mr. Bryant viii be II years old on the %
of November next. He bears his age well
Frost hes white upon his ample beard, but
the fire of youth is in his eye, and his heart
still beats strongly and steadily, with vita
| force that shows no sign of serious physical
decay. His mind, working alertly and clear
| ly, is as quick in perception and as logical In
deduction as it was twenty years ago. But
| slight and agile figure, passing rapidly
among the crowds of the street, is that of a
man of thirty years rather than the frame
which men usually associate with septua-
genarian's weight of years. He uses no
| glasses to aid his vision. The nearest APP
preach he was ever known to make to con-
fession of imperfect sight was In my hearing
about year ago. Going to 4 window to
| read a newspaper, he uttered good natur-
| ed remonstrance against the fineness of the
print, observing that he 4did't intend to
wear spectacles so long as he could help it,
but wished the papers would not use such
small type.
la the matter of dress, Mr. Bryant is nei-
ther Count D'Orsay nor Horace Greeley.
He greatly prefers cleanliness to style; is al
ways tidy, but blissfully unconscious of the
requirements of fashion, and, like Dominic
Sampson, would quite be likely to attribute
to the preservative qualities of the atmos-
phere the exceeding glossiness of any new
garment surreptitiously introduced into his
apartment over night. Yet he is orderly
and precise in his intellectual life-almost to
the extreme of fastidiousness and hypercrit-
lcism, as if Nature principle of compensa-
ton were specially Illustrated in his care He
has a hearty contempt for shams, snobs and
Stiffness; admires pluck, perseverance and
industry; adoIes Nature, and works hard for
the love of work, and readily recognizes 8
worker when he sees him; finds his recrea-
ton in recondite studies, in green fields, bab-
bling brooks, and the study of natural forms
in digging among the roots of language,
in planting trees, making newspapers, and
observing mankind-in the prattle of chill
dren and the wisdom ofthe schoels-in short
in everything that the world does and men
think.
He has pleasant ways At odd moments
he invites his friends to little trials of gym
nastie exercise. Can you do that?' he
said 70 a much younger man, suiting the ac-
ton to the word by lifting himself to the
top of the door by his hands, and swinging
up and down and sidewise, varying the sport
by graSping the door casing, and repeating
the feat in more difficult position The
junior tried it, but failed he had not
leaped so many high rail-fences in the eoun-
try as Mr.. Bryant had leaped, and the brown
beard could not wag in air as the white one
wagged. Rarely, if fence or gate is in
the way at Roslyn, does It's owner stop to
dodge it or open it. He leaps it. If
horse is not harnessed, he walks. IF a storm
howls and valued friend is lonely in dis
tant house, he trudges off with an umbrella
in one hand and boquet of flowers in the
other; offering the latter and his company,
where he knows that both viii be welcome

WOMEN AND MEN. Women may talk Of
their inherent rights as much as they please,
but they cant overcome nature Men and
oaks were made to be twined, and women
and ivy were made to be twined about them.
Though anequality were established between
calico and cashmere tomorrow, it would not
be week before all the officers would be men,
and all the soldiers women. Females are
perfectly willing to go ahead, provided the
men so first. Set FIRE to steamboat, and
not yard of dimity will bulge till corduroy
sets the example So long as the men cling
to the vessel, the women will cling to the
men. But if the men plunge overheard,
feminines plunge too. As we said before,
reformers may prate about equal rights, but
they can't alter the regulation of God. 1t
S impossible for women tofree themselves
from men, as it is for steel dust to free itself
from its attachment to magnet.

Manners IL make it poirt of moral

with another for his manners. They may
be awkward On graceful, blunt OF polite, pol
ished or rustic | care not what they are if
the man means we'll and acts from honest
intentions without eccentricity or affectation.
All men have not the advantage of good
society, as it is called, to school themselves
in all its fantastic rules and ceremonies, if
there is any standatd of good sense and not
upon these artificial regulations. Manners,
like conversation, should be extemporaneous
and not studied. / always suspect man
that meets me with the perpetual smile on
his face, the same bending of the body, and
the same premeditated shake of the hand.

welcome salutation 'tHow are you, my old
