loyal masses sleep, as they did prior to
the rebellion with both the state Of

NIT it to the reflection of every candid
and intelligent mind, whether it does
not form grounds at least for a strong
probability?
The object of this writing is to call
up reflection and awaken enquiry on
the subject. To call measures into
action for the avertence of the evil ere
it is too late. And here the enquiry
comes up, what is to be done to avert
it ? "Look well to your ballots" is the
main answer. Keep the Government
entirely out of rebel and copperhead
hands and by an act of Congress, as
speedily as possible. reverse the mill
tary order of things in the rebel States.
Disband the rebel militia and keep
an ample number of the right kind of
soldiers and officers there
to keep the refractory in submission.
All of which is most respectfully sub
mitted by your friend and co-worker in
the cause. PETER PERDY.

EDITOR ISrRLIIGEycER 1T is well
understood that secret order has ex-
isted during the war, and before it,
called the Knights Of the Golden Cir
Gle !" and that it was through the
agency of this order that the rebellion
was conducted The same order, in
some localities, is called the "Sons Of
Liberty" AS is we'll known, the
main plans of this organization have
been defeated. But is there any evi-
dcnce that the order has been dissolv-
ed and its designs abandoned ? We
have learned no such thing nor have
we any reason for believing anything
else, than that the order still has its
identity, and is in full blast, so far as
its adherents deem it prudent and
safe. This order was the back bone
of the rebellion. Its members were
numbered by hundreds of thousands.
Have we seen one whit of backing
down from their assumed high position
any further than what stern, unfinching
necessity has compelled them to do?
Hear the resolutions of the State
Conventions for the modification of
their Constitutions. They show no
change Of principle, but only abolished
slavery and re-adhere to the Federal
Constitution because they cannot help
themselves in any other way. And
see (! They have, every one of them,
petitioned the President to pardon
their darling JEFF. Davis. Read the
account Of travellers and canvassers
among the masses, and you will see

promising days of the rebellion. Mark

some parts, exterminate them altogeth,

ly entertain the sentiment, and design
that, when they get State Governments
into their own hands they will reduce

From all their movements, which are
not coerced by the pressure of the

Some queer facts have recently
come to light, from which it appears
that a person calling himself Colonel
Earl de Sterling" and giving his ad-
dress as No. 220 South Ninth street,
Philadelphia, was at Havana some
time since, and wrote letter TO veal.
thy gentleman of Porto Rico, propos-
ing TO ship negroes from the South
crn States, and sell them for FIVE hun
dred dollars apiece also. that he in
duccd q colored man to 60 to Havana
with him, by representing the vessel
was going to Charleston. aud when
there tried to sell him for one hundred
dollars, but found that the Cuban laws
would not permit him. The "Colonel,
or " Earl" or whoever he is, is repre-.
sented as having the appearance Of a
"down-easter." He "cut a high
swell" in Havana, and a letter states
left without paying his board bill. He
is understood to have come North two
or three weeks since.

Canada.

1t were idle to deny that certain
amount of anxiety has been aroused
throughout the Province, by the ru.
mors of arrangements made by the
Fenians to attack Great Britain
Canada. The projected ris.
ing in Ireland seems to have received
such check by the alertness of the
authorities as to reduce it to the d.
mensions Of a faseo. 1t is quite posi-.
bic that the restless and unprincipled
men who are now engaged in this
movement in the United States, bafiled
for the moment Of the prey they most
coveted, may, even in wanton spite,
turn their attention to Canada as a
more accessible field of operations. 1t
is quite possible that they may raise
from ten to fifty thousand marauders
for this purpose. Of course we know
that such "a force could do a good deal
Of mischief, but that they would lbe
utterly unable to maintain themselves
in Canada for many weeks.
We should drive them back after
giving them such lesson as would
not speedily be forgotten. But it is
hardly credible that the United States
which is taking such
high ground respecting the duties Of
just now, will 50 stultify
themselves as not to take care TO pre-
vent such a raid, or at least to hinder
it from attaining such proportions as
to make it really dangerous, or likely
to lead to a war between the two coun-
tries. The United States papers pub
lish kilograms from some asses on this
side, who represent Canadians as be-
ing in a state Of panic. That is false
But there is growing feeling that if
we are to be bullicd into fighting by
the United States, or dragged into it
by Fenians, we cannot be too prompt
in preparation. One other resolve is
taken by the great mass Of the people,
however weak.knced few annexa.
tionists may be. that, if lighting comes.
we shall fight to the uttermost.-Mon-

1t has been truly said that I" Of all the
mea ms of recruiting the exhausted en-
ergies of the mind after tolls and vex-
ations Of the day. none is so admirably
fitted to fill up the elegant leisure Of
the scholar. as the society of women"
Conversation with men demands some
exertion, exacts some labor; it is too
often theatre in which the parties
strive TO outdo each other in argu-
ments, or to mortify their unread hear
ers by showing the depth of their knowl-
edge, and the grasp Of their minds
Even when free from all rivalry and
contention. it is. in many cases, mu.
tua! and inccssant straining TO say
things which have an epigrammatic
point and pungecy; which are favored
by the salt Of wit--startle by their alb
ruptncss-or gives pleasant shock Of
surprise. Conversation thus conduct
ed, instead Of soothing the rnfflcd mind,
only tasks anew the faculties that
have toiled all the day long in the
worlds mill. In the society Of women,
there is nothing Of all this; nature has
established mutual spirit of couces-
sion between the sexes, which forbids
all contention; while delicate tact,
which discovers instinctively the
tastes and habits Of thought in apother,
and adapts itself to them-which slides
gracefully over matters. without rest
ing upon them. and without effort-ex.

the evening to attend her home, should
be sufficient notice that she requires
no other escort
This fixed my status. For ten years
came and went at WILL and think
was never in the way. The men folk
and had tacit understanding that
they should not swear in my presence;
but if they forgot was not deaf, some
little act of kindness was usually the
apology. Otherwise than this, think
1t seldom occurred to any of them that
l was not one Of them. This NAV an
pear unwoman!y, but insist That if
women are to be the companions of
men in public employment, the idea of
sex must not be the prevailing thought
of their lives. They must establish
"bnsiness relations" and keep them
purely and entirely business relations.
Hume, in speaking of Elizabeth, the
greatest of England's sovereigns,
says: Zone must not judge her as a
woman, but as ruler" As wife,
mother, sister, daughter, let woman be
judged as woman as clerk, let her
be judged as clerk. The display of
personal charms, of adornments. of
dress, OF graces, of conversation, should
be reserved for the social circle. What
men of sense and delicacy could value
the secondhand articles Of this descrip-
tion which'have heen hawked around
through public offices as the price of
some trifing privilege, some immunity
or preference /?
When one takes place in depart
ment she contracts to work certain
number of hours daily for a certain sum.
1t is understood that she is to work
faithfully during these hours, and when
she spends portion of them, habitual-
ly, in reading or gcssiping, or in any
other way shirks her dnty, she is a
swindler-o only this, ord nothing more:
and the man she induces to overlook
her delinquency is an accomplice in
the dishonest evasion. He is her best
TREND who holds her most firmly to
the fullilIment of her contract.
NoT should the sickness brought on
by folly, be any excuse for failure to
fill the contract. The headaches and
backaches and dyspepsias and mise
ries brought on by impeded circulation
from pinched feet and crushed waists
the colds and chills and catarrhs caught
from half clad feet and arms and shout
dcrs, should be no apology for undone
or halfdone work.
Women as well as men are under
moral obligation to fuse all lawful en-
deavors to preserve their own lives
and the lives of Others" and their fail
ure to do so is no Justification Of their
failure TO perform any other duty.
That nineteen-twentieths of woman's
sickness is the direct result of improp-
er dress is "a fact patent to all thinking
physicians and until women can
make up their minds to study the laws
of health rather than that of fashion,
their demand for equality in employ.

My Beautiful Sister.
By Louise CHANDLER MoUIroS.

| waited until Madge had made her
toilette and gone down stairs with
Mrs. Lane. How beautiful she looked,
with her great, dark passionate eyes,
her heavy-falling black hair, her
bright cheeks, and lips red as red
blossoms. She wore a muslin dress,
a curious affair which Uncle Jack had
brought her from India-every one,
you see, paid Madge tribute, she was
queen royal as Vashti. The dress
was a pearl-hued, diaphanous, fabric,
with figures which made it unique
gay colored butterflies, birds with
wings bright as flame, great dragon
flies with glittering eyes. 1t was
purely Oriental-the wild Eastern fam
cy must have revelled in its concep-
ton. 1t would not have suited most
girls-it would have been too over
powering g-but Madge was bewilder-
ing in it. To her beauty all surround
ings seemed but acccssories-you
would have thonght that bird, and fly,
and butterfly had starred her gown
with their flashing wings out Of some
innate sense Of fitness. She wore or
naments of amber, and fan of curl
ously carved sandal wood was in her
hand. There was an air of magic and
mystery about her which wonld lure
most men away from more common
place girls.

1t is significant fact that, thus far,
the President has pardoned no rebels
who had been educated at Government
expense, at West Poiut, and belonged
to the regular army when the war
broke out. Longstrcet belongs to
this class, and the President. therefore,
postpones the consideration Of his ap-
Plication for pardon. Only three West
Pointers have thus far been pardoned,
but they were not in the army when
the war broke out.

Our National Securities.

The national debt now amounts to
about three thousand millions Of dol
lars. 1t is distributed all over the
country among the loyal people of all
the states. 1t is distributed among all
classes. Every man who has green.
back in his pocket owns portion of it.
Every man who looks to his days
wages for his days support is interest
ed in its soundncss and solvency, for
it is by part Of the national debt that
his earnings will be paid to him. There
is no individual and no kind Of honest
business that is not concerned m most
jealously maintaining the credit of the
country and of its debt forever unim-
paired. -.. ...... ..-.
Now there is on foot a scheme
whose realization will inevitably re-
suit in the depreciation and anniIila.
tion of the national securities in whole
or in part. That scheme proposes the
immediate restoration of the rebels to
political power. A great party, the
copperhcad or democratic party, So
called. is resolved to push it through.
They care nothing for the national
credit. They care nothing for the vel.
fare of the loyal millions. They care
nothing for the toiling masses whose
existence and prosperity depend upon
the goodness of the national currency.
All that they care fnr is Office, patron
age, power. They want to elect a
Presisent Of their own sort-of the
James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce
sort--in 1868. They want to defeat
Andrew Johnson, General Grant, Mr..
Seward, Charlie Sumner, Governor Nor
gan. or whoever may be the candidate
Of the Union party. They cannot hope
to do this without rebel votes. These
they are resolved to have if they can
get rebel states and rebel soldiers en-
dowcd with the power once more to
vote down Uuion states and Union SOL
diers.
Here is the great question which the
people Of this country now have to dc.
eide. Universal suffrage is a great
question also, question both Of prin.
cipIe and ofpolicy; but it is inferior in
immediate Importance to that concern
ing the instant restoration of rebels to
full equality Of prerogative aud power
with loyal states and loyal men.
The coppcrhcads are willing to heap
upou us the inestimable misery and the
bound,,s 81 disgrace which would be
caused by repndiat;ng the national
debt. Anything to elect copperhead
President and put copperheads and
traitors in Office. But the loyal people
will never consent to such calamity.
They will never agree TO reputation.
They will never take the first step to-
ward it. They will never put it in
the power Of unrepentant rebels to
govern the country. They will never
expose the seven-thirtics and green
backs to the fatal effect which rebel rule
would produce upon them. The rebel
states must remain as they are for the
present.
