An Episcopal bishop ON the Crisis


Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, has written
a letter to the editor of York county
paper in Pennsylvania, upon the reunion
of the Episcopal Church North and South,
in which it says:
$50 much for the church, now for
myself You wonder, in your letter, that
the Bishop of Georgia did not lead the
way IN such action as the Bishop Of Tex

prepared for me. 1t is very easy for you
sitting in the midst Of plenty; with every
thing fourishing about you, with the
world fawning upon yeu because of sue

prosperity can make it, to wonder at oul

is very different with us whose homes are
desolate, whose friends and relatives, and
children are utterly impoverished, whose
social order is totally subverted, whose
future is dark and almost hopeless.

above all, to do the best for the poor un-

HEALTH OF JEFF DAvIs.-On Friday
last an officer of authority called on JEFF
Davis, who announced himself as in very
good health, the only drawback being a
carbuncle on his leg and slight touch oI
erysipelas. In speaking of Wirz, Davis
said that he never seen or heard of him
before his arrest; adding, that from what
he knew of Winder, having been class
mate of his at West Point, he did not be-
lieve that he would be guilty OF such aw-
full acts of inhumanity as are laid to his
charge.-N. Y. Times.

THE FARMERS HOME.
We envy not the princely man,

We envy not the princely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up the hill or down;
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his harp of gold;
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth thrice told.
We are the favored ones of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn;
We sow--we reap the golden grain
We gather in the corn.
We toil--we live on what we earn
And more than this we do;
We hear Of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags a weary life;
He never knows peaceful hour
His atmosphere is strife;
The merchant thumbs his yardstick DER.
Grows haggard at his toll.
He's not the man God meant him for
Why don't he till the soils
The doctor plods through storm and cold,
43i Plods at his patients will;
! When dead and gone he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer (bless his noble soul,)
Ae grasps the mighty earth.
And stamps Il on our welcome sheets,
To cheer the farmers hearth.
We sing the honor of the plow,
And honor of the press
Two noble instruments Of toll,
With each the power to bless.
The bone and nerve of this fast age,
True wealth of human kind
One tills the ever generous earth,
The other tills the mind.

General Lewis Cass.

We rarely see the name of this distin.
guished statesman and patriot in the pa
pers, but he "still lives" at the ripe age
of 81 years. He resides on Jefferson
street, Detroit, in handsome modern
built dwelling, while his oldest SON oc-
cupies the old family homestead two
squares distant Though afflicted with
the feebleness and forgetfulness naturally
incident to his pataiarchial age, he main
tains better health and a more active spirit
than could reasonably be supposed to be-
long to his time of life. er

WHEN General Schenck moves to ex-
clude the Southern members from their
seats in the House, of Representatives,
because the States that sent them do not
allow negroes to vote, they can turn
round and reciprocate the compliment by
a resolution to exclude him for the same
reason. As Ohio does not allow negroes
to vote, the General will find himself
hoisted on his petard. ~

Abolition Strategy.

The negro equality party are running
the political campaign by holding soldiers
Pic Mics. As soon as the voting is done
the soldiers may go to the devil for all
they care. Their love for the soldiers
and the interest they take in getting up
meetings to be addressed by abolition
stumpers are designed to secure votes tc
give negroes the elective franchise and
carry out other radical designs at wal
with the interest of white men. Guess
the soldiers can discover the wool in the
woodpile.- Holmes Farmer.

MARSHAL DE CLAusEL. The New
Orleans Pacayuiae, in giving some eX-
cellent advice to those young soldiers
who have not yet found employment,
relates the following interesting Incl
dent i'm the history Of Marshal dc
Clausel:
Let our young soldiers remember
and profit by the example of the old
French soldiers, many OF them Of
ficcrs who had won distinction in the
big wars in Europe, who, in their
exile in this country, cheerfully
adopted any pursuit by which they
could make an honest livelihood.
Anything in preference to loafcrism,
vagabondism, and hrmiliating dc
bendence Many of the old citizens
of Mobile will remember an elderly
Frenchman, who, some thirty-five
years ago, used TO be seen every morn
ing in the market, with his car of fish
and vegetables, selling by retail those
products of his own industry and
skill. His manners and appearance
betrayed q previous life and expert
ence in some higher or very different
sphere from that in which he then
moved. But the old man was CON
tented, cheerful and vivacious, and
he thrived and was happy.
That man was one of the most dis
tinguished Of Napoleon's surviving
Marshals. 4 few years aftcrward, on
the establishment of Louis Philippe
on the throne of France, he was re-
stored to his position in the French
army, and the Mobile vegetable and
fish vender became tho first Military
Governor Of Algeria. Such is the
story Of Marshal lie Clausel, and it is
the story OF many other distinS S1islcd
officers Of the great army oi Ne
polcon.
Our Young soldiers must study and
initiate this philosophy and noble
Self-commantl, which are such adIni-
rable characteristics Of Frencnmen.
It has just bccir discovered that Il
woman was forty years an officer III
the British service. and fo.!Ght one
duel and sought many more, and pro-
cured a Legitimate education; had re
ceivel Il regular diploma, and had
acquired almost Il celebrity fol skill

lime spent with you is surely pleasant,
