The REBEL WOMEN IN RIeHMosD "A cor
respondent Of the Washington Cfuonic'e
says: Of the women in Richmond might
write volumes. They have much to an
swer for. They have been severely misled
by the press and the pulpit They have
credited the falsehoods of the one and been
seduced by the religious glosses of the
other. The Confederate cause got to be
identified with their domestic peace and
their religious connections, and it is rend-
ing of tho heart-strings to see it fall. They
have lost no opportunity to stimulate the
pride and Tagging hopes of the sterner
sex al hate the Yankees" said young
girl amid her companions "If | ever
have any children, even though Lee is
beaten, will bring them up in eternal ha-
tired of those who have subdued u.s.
" Our hostility" said another, =" is invinci-
BILE; | shall never do anything but hate
those who have deprived us of our rights !;
| should never have been willing to yield
if it had not been yield OF starve, and life
is sweet" But the most violent bear tes
timony TO the good conduct of our troops,
and the universal acknowledgement was
that they could hardly believe their own
eyes, the Yankees had behaved 50 much
better than they expected.

THERE Is NO DEATH.

There is no death! The stars go down
To rise npon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens iewelled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
TO golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers
The granite rocks disorganize
TO feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death! The leaves may fail,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming OF the May
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away
And then we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Iransplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of JOY and strife
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And when He sees il smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light
TO dwell in paradise
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again
With joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless Universe
Is Hfe-they are not dead.

GENERAL JAcKsoN's MorTo-"Think be,
fore you act, but when the time for action
comes, stop thinking" This is true doc
trine. Many men fail in life and go down
to the grave with hopes blasted and pros
poets of happiness unrealized because
they did not adopt and act upon this motto.
Nothing so prepares man for action as
thought; but nothing so units a man for
action in the course of action. Better by
far adopt some course and pursue it ener-
getically, even though it may not be the
best than to keep continually thinking with
out action. "Go ahead ought to be prin-
ted in every young mans hat, and read
until it becomes a part of his nature, until
he can act upon his judgment, and not be
turned from his course by every wind of
interested advice In conclusion we would
say: "Think before you act; but when the
time for action comes stop thinking"

A Man OF Acknowledgement Grant is a
man of action and not man of words or
fussy preparation. When he was directed
to visit Sherman in North Carolina, he re-
ceived the order, folded it up, took his leave
of the President with carpet bag in one
hand and full cigar case in his pocket
aud in few days had the terms of the
treaty revoked and Johnson laying down
his arms,
"Pa, why do they plant guns-do they
grow and have leaves?"
No. my son, but like plants they shoot,
and the others do the leaving"

THE FEELING OF GROWING OLD.-It seems
but a summer since we looked forward
with eager hopes to the coming year; and
now we are looking sadly back. Not that
the dream has passed, but that it has been
of no more worth to those around us. As
the glowing hopes and ambition of early
life pass away, as friends often depart, and
the stronger ties which hold us here are
thrown off, our life seems but a bubble,
glancing for moment in the light, then
broken, leaving nots ripple on the stream.
Forty years seemed once long and weary
pilgrimage to tread 1t now seems but a
step. And yet along the way are broken
shrines, where a thousand hopes have was
ted into ashes; footprints sacred under
their drifting DUST green mounds, whose
grass is fresh with the watering of tears,
shadows, even, which we could not forget.
We will garner the sunshine of those years,
and with chastened steps and hopes, push
on towards the quiet evening, whose sig
nal lights will soon be seen swinging
where the waters ars still, and the storms
never beat

DR.. Payson says, :" If you put bright
shilling into a child's hand, he will be
pleased with it; but tell him Of an estate
in reserve for him, and he pays little atten-
ton to you. So men and women are often
more delighted with present comforts than
with the prospects of future glory"

4 Touch OF PETRoLEUM.--Closc to the
lands of the Centre Oil Company there
lives an old chap worth mint Ignorant
of course, dumb luck has made him rich
His household pets consist Of a terrier dog
and stupid daughter, both Of whom engage
his attention The former provided for, he
determined to accomplish" his daughter
To this end he came to the city. He bought
piano, harp, a guitar, and Car load Of
music books, and so forth, winding up bis
business by engaging first-class intellect
ual and music tutor, with all of which he
started for the region" The documents
were of course soon arranged for business
The tutor set to work and toilcd like Tro,
jan, but with no success Despairing OF
ultimate triumph he went to the oil king
and made clean breast of it.
"Why, what the worlds the matter ~
asked the father.
"Well," answered the tutor, "Kitty has
piano, and guitar, and harp, and music
and books, and all that, but she wants ca
pacity--thats all"
"Well, by the Lord Harry" cried the OF
king, "if that's all, just buy it. Tve go
the stuff, and if money will get it she shall
have capacity or any thing else"

IT is certain sign of an i'll heart, to be
inclined to defamation They who are
harmless and innocent, can have no gratifi-
cation that way: but it ever arises from
neglect of what is laudable in a mans self,
and an impatience of seeing it in another,

TINE FOR MISUNDERSTANDING the ancient
Germans, than whom a finer race never
existed, it was death for any woman to
marry before she was twenty years old
In this country, very few ladies are fit, Ell
ther physically or mentally, to become
mothers, before they reach the age of twen-
ty one, twenty two, or one or two years OIL
der The unsound condition and constitu-
of the parent is usually transmitted, with
increased intensity, to the offspring. By
the laws of Lycurgus, the most special at
tention was paid to the physical education
of women; and no delicate or sickly wO-
men were, on any account allowed TO mar
ry. DR.. johnson, in his work on the Econ
omy of Health, says that matrimony should
not be contracted before the first year of
the fourth septennial, on the part of the la
dy, nor before the last year of the same in
the case of the gentlemen; in other words,
the female should be at least twenty one
years Of age, and the male twenty eight
years.
The doctor says that there should I've a
difference of seven years between the sexes,
at whatever period of life the connection is
contracted There is difference of seven
years, not in the actual duration of life, in
the two sexes, but in the stamina of the
constitution, the symmetry Of the form, and
the linaments of the face. In respect to
the early marriage so far as it concerns
the softer sex, for every year at which mar
riage is entered upon before the age of
twenty one, there will be, on an average,
three years of premature decay more or less
apparent, of the corpOreal fabric.

DusT, &c, IN THE EYE-When the eye is
irritated by dust, or intrusive particles of
any kind the sufferer invariably shuts and
rubs his eye, and not unfrequently the re-
moval of the irritating cause thereby be-
comes more difficult The proper practice
is to keep the eye open, as if staring; a
sort of rotary movement of the ball takes
place, the surface becomes covered with
water, the particle is gradually impelled
to the corner of the eye, without any of the
disagreeable consequences that attend
shutting and rubbing, Equally effective
is this mode when fly is an intruder. He
does not wish to remain where accident
has placed him; but you close the prison
door and like the starting, che can't get
out" Keep the eye open and he will be
glad to relieve you,

IDEAS OF THE ARABIANs.-Their general
opinion of an English traveller is, that he
is lunatic or magician; lunatic, if on
closely watching his movements, they dis
cover he pays little attention to things ar
round him. confirmed lunatic, if he goes
out sketching and spoils good paper with
scratches and hieroglyphics; and magi-
clan when inquisitive about ruins, and Civ.
en- to picking up stones and shells, gather
ing leaves and brushes Or buying up old
bits of copper, iron and silver. In these
cases, he is supposed, by aid of his magic
al powers, to convert stones and shells in
to diamonds Of immense price; and the
leaves and sticks are charms, by which he
can bestOw comforts upon his friends, and
snakes and pestilence opon his luckieless
enemies If traveller pick up a stone
and examine it carefully, he will be sure to
have at his tail host of malapert little
boys deriding him, though keeping at a
respectful distance, in Difference to his
magical powers. Should he indeed turn
round suddenly and pursue them a few
steps, they fly in agony and fear, the very
veins in their little legs most bursting, and
they never stop to look back till they have
got well among the crowd again, where,
painting for breath they recount to their au-
ditors the dreadful looks that devil of a
Frank gave them, making fire come out
of his eyes and adders out of his mouth.

Two hundred years ago the freemen of
Massachusetts, voting in State elections
used corn and beans as Indicative of yeas
and nays, the corn being counted as yea
and the beans as nay in the ballotting.
And when the beans were in the minority
they acknowledged the corn.

most guarded and reserved; and this re-

midnight, and was now stealthily guiding
us, avoiding farm-houses where the rebels
were quartered, going round their camps,
evading their pickets.
She led us for seven miles Then, while
we remained in the wood, she rode forward
over the long bridge which spanned the
Nolechucky River, to see if there were

near her mountain home, it will not be pru-
