Southern Eyes Opened.

The Richmond Times, in an article up
on the political prospects of the South
which it looks upon as promising, now
that the slavery question is dead-makes
the following confession of facts which
were utterly ignored by Southern men be-
fore the war: THE influence of the
Southern States was for nearly seventy
years resistless in the national Congress.
Southern, Presidents almost in an un-
broken line, succeeded Washington for
a half century, and wisely administered
the government Slavery had nothing
to do with this political supremacy, but
it was slavery which ultimately dashed
US headlong from our lofty pinnicle of
political glory, and left us helpless mi
nority. 1t was slavery which diverted
emigration from the South, and sent mill
lions of hardy white men to carve twenty
new States out of the unbroken forests
of the West and Northwest. 1t was
slavery which dwarfed the South, while
the North was rapidly attaining the pro-
portions of giant. 1t was slavery that
at last arrayed the North against the
South, and stripped our Southern States
men of all their power and influence in
legislature. 1t was slavery agitation
which destroyed those kindly relations
which once bound the different sections
of The Union together, and then plung-
ed the nation into a long and terrible
civil war"

Home

The Board of trustees recently appoint
ed for the Soldiers Home met at Colum-
bus Wednesday, all being present, and

1t was resolved that the Home shall be
opened for the admission of all who may
apply without reference to the State
fsom which the APPLICANT comes. All
money is to be deposited to the credit of
the President and Secretary, and drawn
upon their order, Capt. Isaac BraytOn.

try. A formal opening of the Home will
take place on Tuesday the 18th inst.

AT HoME.-The highest style of
being at home grows out of a special
state of the affections rather than the
intellect. Who has not met with in
dividuals whose faces would be a pass
port to any society, and whose man
ners, the unstudied and spontaneous
expressions of their inner selves, make
them visibly welcome wherever they
90, and attract unbounded confidence
toward them in whatever they under
take. They are frank because they
have nothing to conceal, affable, be,
cause their natures overfows with be-
nevolence; unfurried, because they
dread nothing; always at home, be-
cause they carry within themselves
that which can trust to itself any
where and every where-purity of
soul, with fullness of health. Such
are our best guarantee for feeling ut
home in all society to which duty
takes US, and in every occupation up
on which it obliges us 10 enter. They
who live for themselves are also tbs
least embarrassed by uncertainties.

AT one of the recent watering place
balls, the mos striking and pronounced
of toilettes was worn by a stately Geor-
gian girl'whose summers could not have
exceeded twenty, but who carried herself
with the air of a woman of forty. Her
dress consisted of train of white velvet
falling not from the waist, but from the
shoulders, and trailing its slow length
along. 1t was without sleeves, but was
held over the shoulders by cluster-clasps
of large diamonds. The arms were bare,
and polished as those of a statute Of Prsx-
iteles, as was also the face and neck and
bust. Her hair was powdered with pearl,
and dressed in Aspasia stple, but instead
of the blue ribbon usually employed in
the making up Of that superb coinure a
circlet of diamond star-clusters was sub
stituted. The slippers were of white kid,
and had diamond buckles, fastening
blonde and satin bows. No gloves or
bracelets were worn, nought broke the
magnificent sweep from the plump. round
shoulder to the tips of the taper fingers.
Although the costume was model OF
richness, simplicity, and every good and
perfect thing but modesty.

''SIarVed to Death.''

We thought we knew the terrible mean
ing of those few words when nearly dis
tracted mother used them in speaking of
a child of her own who wasted away be-
fore her eyes from want of sufficient sus-
teuance in her sickness, loneliness, and
poverty. And we had the same thought
when we penned the words last Saturday,
for notice in the evening papers. But
on Sunday morning we repeated them in
the hearing of one of our young friends
returning in health, strength and happi-
ness with his delighted mother to our
humble chapel, he added something
which gave new and fearful import to
the expression. Eyes sir" said he, 81
have aeen the rings, like those in cir
Gus, beaten hard ON the ground where
our poor boys ran around when they
went crazy in the rebel pens !" Let care
ful hands keep the grass forever from
growing upon the rings, and in the cen
ter of the shameful circle let monument
be reared to tell the meaning of the thing
to the last generation. For here our he
roes and martyrs were hurried, hunted
and bounded to their maniac graves.

The Richmond Times Copperhead
rebel journal, says that Gen. NJ. r.
Patrick, the new Democl at candidate
for the office OF State Treasurer in
New York, is "an old army officer
saturated with the conservatism of
West Point education, free from rad
icalism; elevated above the petty,
narrow prejudice of sectionalism,
scorning to yield to the elamors of
faction, scrupulous in his respect for
the civil rights of the defeated Con-
federacy. He so administered the du-
ties Of his office when in Richmond as
to win the esteem of all whose good
opinion was worth possessing" On
the other hand the Norfolk Post says
that 'the choice of Gen. Patrick will
please that gentleman's many friends
in Richmond, who admire him for his
want of patriotic virtues, and for his
great love of the notorious Winder." r"
1t seems evident that Gen. Patrick
has a good many friends in Virginia.
1t remains to be seen how many he
has in New York.

General Grant at the Tomb Of
President Lincoln.

During his visit to Springfield, Illinois,
last week, Lieutenant General Grant,
Governor Oglesby, and number of other
gentlemen visited Oak Ridge Cemetery
and the tomb of President Lincoln. The
General advanced first to the sacred shade
with his head uncovered, followed by
Mrs. Grant, and subsequently by the
other members of the party. The tomb.
&C., were contemplated in silence by the
visitors, but the feeling stirred forth in
their breasts may be easily imagined.
After quitting the precincts of the tomb,
General Grant expressed the highest ad-
miFation for the grounds generally and
the plan for the proposed monument.

piled to on a very important matter.
He was asked which of the two sisters
he had better pay his addresses to-
One very lovely in her disposition,

very illtempered. "Marry the good
tempered one by all MEANS" said the
clergyman" The spirit of God can

NHw Use FOR WAFERFALLs.-On the
train from New York for Philadelphia
on Thursday evening, a lady had her
pocket picked of one hundred and eighty
dollars. A woman who was sitting be-
side her was accused OF the theft, and
she was searched without the money be-
ing found upon her person. At last a
passenger suggested the idea of exanin-
ing her waterfall" which, after some
little hesitation was done, and the money
was found snugly slowed away there.

for his opinion of General Morgan,
the Copperhead candidate for Cover

For the Chronicle.
LITTLE ELLA SLEEPS.

Tread lightly, Ella sleeps
To wake no more;
Fold the tiny, waxen hands,
Her little life is Der.
A rose bud lent to earth
Brief was her stay;
Her sunny smile to US
A Heavenly ray.
White robed angels came,
And beckOned her above;
From sickness free she lives,
Where all is love.
Smilingly she greets
An angel father there;
With him in spirit life,
The joys of Heaven to share.
God of plying love
Be thou the widows cheer!
The healing balm bestow,
And dry the scalding tear.
Two golden links in Heaven,
A broken one is left
A heart bowed down with grief.
A home beref.

Look Before You Kick.

A minister IN one of our Othodox churches
says the Vineyard Gazette, while on his way
to oreach funeral sermon in the country,
called to see one Of his members, an old
widow lady, who lived near the road he was
travelling The old lady had been making
sausages, and she felt proud of them, they
were SO plump, round and sweet. Of course
she insisted on the minister taking some OF
the links home to his family. He objected,
on account of his not having his portman-
teau along The objection was soon over
ruled, and the old lady after wrapping them
in rag, carefully placed bundle in each
pocket Of the preachers capacious coat
Thus equipped be started for the funeral.
While attending'the solemn ceremonies at
the grave, some. hungry dogs scented the
sausages and were not long in tracking them
to the good mans overcoat. Of course this
was great annoyance, end he was several
times under the necessity of kicking the
whelps away. The obsequies of the grave
completed the minister and congregation
! discourse was 10 be preached. After the
sermon was finished, the minister halted to
make some remarks to the congregation
when brother VINO wished to have an APP.
| pointment given out, assembled the pulpit
and gave the minister's coat hitch to gain
his attention. The divine, thinking it dog
having design upon his pockets, raised his
foot, gave sudden kick, and sent the good
brother sprawling down the pulpit steps

PLEASURE AND SLEEP. When William tie
Fourth was crowned, gentleman from the
country having been seized with a temporary
mania to witness the coronation procession
purchased a seat in one of the stands erected
"a the Palace Yard for the occasion, and
fearful lest the crowd should prevent his ac-
cess to it in the morning, he took possession
Of it over night. Excited expectation, CON
spring with the novelty Of his position,
kept him thoroughly awake till toward noon
next day. He saw the multitude assemble
the military take up their posts and all the
successive changes which indicated the near
approach Of q gorgeous and solemn cere
monial. But he had drawn too freely upon
his physical strength. There is point of
compuleion beyond which nature refuses
obedience. The point in this instance was
reached a few minutes before the procession
started, and when it passed by the stand On
which the country gentleman sat- he was
locked in the arms of sleep that would not
let him go. The incident fairly illustrates
the position we ale aiming to establish
There are some things which fly from you
the more resolutely they are courted-sleep
is one, pleasure is another.

A POINT OF ORDFR.-One Of the members
of the Lower House of the Legislature Of
New York, rejoiced in the name of B.oss.
He had the honor Of representing the county
Of Monroe, and if his sagacity as a legisa-
tor did not win for him the respect OF his
associates, his ecccntricities often minstered
to their entertainment. Onc day in the
midst of q windy haranguc that had become
intolerable for its length and emptiness, a
'gassy' member from the metropolis stopped
to take drink of water. Bloss sprang to
bis feet and cried:
Mr. Speaker, | call the gentleman from
New Y ork to ORDER
The whole assembly was startled the
member from New York stood aghast. with
the glass in his hand, while the Speaker
said:
The gentleman from Monroe will please
state his point of order
TO which Mr. Bloss with great gravity re-
Piled
81 submit sir, that it is not in order for a
windmill TO go by water
1t was a shot between wind and water the
verbose orator was confounded, and put
himself and his glass down together.

EFFECTS OF Misunderstanding more
incapaciates man for the lead than impa-
tence. No constitut;onally impatient man,
who has INDUCED this tendency, ever gets
to the bottom of things, or knows with any
nicely the standing disposition and circum-
stances of the people he is thrown, or has
thrown himself amongst Certain salient
points he is possessed of, but not what re-
comedies and accounts for them. Something
in him-an obtrusive self, or a train OF
thought, or liking and pathies-wll al
ways come between him and an impartial
Judgment. Neither does he win, confidence,
for he checks the coy, uncertain advances
which are the precursors of it. We doubt
if thoroughly impatient man can read the
heart or be fair critic, or understand the
rights of any knotty question, or make him
self master of any difficult situation. The
power of waiting, celebrating. hanging in
suspense, is necessary for all these-the
power of staving off for considerable peri
DDS Of time merely personal learnings.

ADVICE TO YoUNG PEorLE-Keep good
company Or none. Never be idle. If your
hands cannot be usefuly employed attend
10 the cultivation of the mind. Always
speak the truth. Make few promises. Live
up to your engagement. Keep your own
secrets, if You have any. When you speak
to a person, look him in the face. Good
company and good conversation are the very
sinews of virtue. Good character is above
anything else. Your character cannot be
essentially injured, except by your own acts.
If any one speaks evil of you, let your life
be so that no one will believe him Drink
no kind of Intoxicating. liquors. Ever live
misfortune excepted) within your income.
When you retire to bed, think over what
you have been doing during the day. Make
no haste to be rich, if you would prosper -
Small and steady gains give competency,
with tranquility of mind. Never play al
any game of chance. Avoid TEN ptatGn,
though you fear you may not withstand it
Earn money before you spend it. Never
run into debt unless you see a way to gel
out of it. Do not marry until you are able
to support wife. Never speak evil of any
one. Be just, before you are generous.
Keep yourself innocent, if you would be
happy. Save when you are young, that you
nay spend when you are old. Read ovel
the above maxims at least once week

''To THE POINT. Mr.. President, wish

Friends in the back part Of the meeting feel
