We have been requested to give place
to the following capital hit at the prevail
Ing fashions, which recently appeared in
one Of the prominent Journals
about the latest touch in the fashion
of hats--or iiats--a great straw colored
disc-on the heads OF the ladies, is some>
thing in the shape of an immense pot-ld,
with just enough cavity in the centre to
admit OF small bump of vcncration.
Two holes are punched through the brim.
Il broad ribbon Is run over the top, and
through these holes. and the thing is com
plcie. 1t is not quite as bic az an um-
brclla, but is about the same shape, and is
sal to answer the same purposes. The
proprietors of these institutions will
have to be provided with pretty strong
rigging, or the wind may blow them into
the next township. 1t is said that the
masses of curls which the ladies' attach to
the back of their heads how they do it
we don't know, but its done very clevcrly)
are going out Of fashion This Grecian
trousscou, as it is called, is no longer in
favor with that omnipotent ruler of millin
-crs and mantaumakers, the Empress Of
the French, and so it is doomed.

INrELLEcTUALLY, persons develope

more at fifty than they did at twenty five.
Others who gave little promise of excel

century are quite distinguished for mental
discipline and resources. 1t is with indi-
viduals as with flowers, some of which

The modest virgin, the prudent wife,
or the careful matron is much more SER
vi,.ablc in life than petticoatoa rhiloso-
piers, clustering hcroines, or virago
queens. She who makes her husband
and her children happy. who rcclaims
the one from vice and trains up the other
to virtue, is a much greater character
than ladies described in romance, whose
whole occupation is TO murder mankind
with shafts from their culver or their
eyes.

The general want Of sincerity in con-
yersatlOn is a great proof Of our dcgenera-
cy. The world is 50 full Of Discrimination
and complaints: that mems word arc hardly
any Specification Of their thoughts; and if
any speak as they think, they cannot
escape the censurc of want of good breed
ing. The old English plainncss and sim
cerity, that integrity and honesty of dis
position which CUES true greatness of
mind, IS almost lost among US. The dialect
in conversation is now so swallowed with
vanity and complaint, that if man that
lived an ace or two ago should return
into the world again, he would scarcely
understand has own language, and
would be great while before he could
bring himself with good countcnance and
I conscience to converse with men upon
equal terms, and in their own way as they
do now.

Wearing OF the Green.

The following is the celebrated song
which created such intense excitement
throughout Great britain, and fcz :.loo1rppo-
ration Of which in his piece, Mr.. Bourci-
cault's play of ''Arrah ma Pogue" had to be
withdrawn from the London stage:
Oh! Paddy, dear, and did you hear
The news that's going round,
The Shamrock is forbid by law to
Grow on Irish ground.
No more st. Patrick's day wc'll keep,
The color can't be seen,
For there's bloody law against the
Wearing of the green.
met with Nappy Tander, and he took
Me by the hand,
And he said. "How's poor ould Ireland
And how does she stand?"
She's the most distrustful country that
Ever you have seen,
They're hanging men and women there for
wearing of the green"
Then since the color we must wear is
England's cruel red,
Sure 1reland's sons will neer forget the
Blood that they have shed.
You may take the Shamrock from your hat
And cast it on the sod;
1t will take root and flourish there.
Though under foot it's trod.
When the law can keep the blades of grass
From growing as they grow,
and when the leaves IN Summer time
Their verdure dare not show.
Then will change the color
| wear in my caubeen;
But till that day, please God, I'll stick
To wearing of the green!
But if at last the color should
Be torn from Ireland's heart,
Her sons with shame and sorrow from
The dear old soil will part.
I've heard whispers of a country
That lies beyond the sea,
Where rich and poor stand equal in
The light of freedoms day
Oh! Erin, we must leave you, driven
By the tyrant's hand!
Must we ask mothers welcome from
A strange but happier land,
Where the cruel cross of England's
Thraldom never shall be seen,
And where, thank GodI Well live and die,
Still wearing of the g-een

maxim insultin pikters in every sheet
|--breedin everlastin discord, and
chawln bigger than ever since we got
licked. Wish old Stonewall had
kctchea these E-rrfo1s EE@-rrf5o1s at .i viieil ferry,
and we boys had knowed they was
going to keep up this devilment SO
long. We'd a made Baptists of them
settln, payroll or no payroll. Hurraw
for q brave soldier, 1 say, reb or no
reb, yank or no yank; hurraw for a
manly foe and a generous victor
hurraw for our side, too. I golly,
excuse me, but sich expressions will
work their way out sometimes, brakes
or no brakes.
But I'm for Mr.. Johnson I'm for
all the Johnson's, its bully name.
There's our Governor, who amt
going at a discount, and there's Andy,
who is doin powerful well considerin,
and there's the hero of Shilo, peace
to his noble ashes.
And there's Joe, my bully Joe
wouldn't walk ten miles of {. rainy
night to see them hazel eyes and feel
the grip of his soldier hand. Didn't t
my rooster clap his wings and crow
whenever he passed our quarters?
Instinct told him that he was the
true prince" and it would make any
body brave to be nigh him. I like
all the Johnsons, even to SAM. G.
He never levied on me if he could
git round it. For 20 years, me and
Sam have been working together in
the Justice court. I was an everlastin
defendant, and Sam the constable,
but he never sold my property nor
skeered Mrs. Arp. Hurraw for the
Johnsons!
Well, on the whole, there's a heap
of things to be thankful for. I'm
thankful the war is over-that's the
big thing. Then I'm glad amt @

that Thad. Stephens and Sumner and
Philips, nor none OF their kin, ain It
no kin to me. I'm thankful for the
high privilege of hatin oil such. I'm

Sweet land of Liberty, of thee sing"
Not much I don't, not at this time.
II there's anything sweet about Ii
berty In this part of the vineyard, I
cant see it. The lands good enuf
and wouldn't mind hearin a hyme
or two about the land I live on, but
as for fndin sugar and liberty in
Georgy soil, it's all mistake. How
sumever, I'm hopeful. I'm much
calmer and serener than was few
months ago. 1 begin to feel kindly
towards all people, except some. I'm
now endeavorin to be great national
man. I've taken up motto of no
North, no South, no East, no West;
but let me tell you, my friend, I'll bet
on Dixie as long as I've got dollar.
Its no harm to run both skedules.
In fakt it is highly harmonious to do
so. I'm good Union reb, and my
battle cry are Dixie and the Union.
But you see, my friend, we are gettin
restless about some thing. The war
had bekum mighty heavy on us, and
after the big collaps we thought it
was over for good We had killed
folks and killed folks until the novelty
of the thing had wore off, and we
were nifty nigh played out all over.
Children were increasin and vittels
diminishin. By a close calculashun
it was perseeved that we didn't kill
our enemies as fast as they were i'm
ported, and about those times
thought it was a pity that some
mirakle of grace hadn't cut off the
breed OF furriners some 1S or 20 years
ago. Gen. Sherman wouldn't have
walked over the tract and Ulysses
would have killed more men than he
did-0f his oun side I hav always
thot that General ought to be per
tikler which side he was sacrifsin.
Well, if the war is over, what's the
nse film up our towns and cities
with soldiers any longer. Where's
your Reconstruction, that the papers
say is goin on so rapidly? Where's
the liberty and freedom? The fakt
IS, General Sherman and his caterpil-
iers made such q clean sweep of
everything. [ don't see much to re-
konstrukt They took so many IL
bertles around here that there's nary
liberty left [ could have rekon-
struktcd II thousand SIGH States before
this. Any body could There WASH t
nothin to do but jest to go off and let
Us alone. We've got plenty of states
men-plenty of men for Governor
Joe Brown amt dead-he's waitin-
standin at the door with his hat off.
Then what's the soldiers here for
what good are they doin-who want
to see 'em any longer? Everybody is
tired of the war and we don't want
to see any more signs of it, The
niggers don't want 'em, and the white
men don't want 'em, and as for the
wimen-whoo-pee! L golly! Well,
there's no use tall>in-when the stars
fall agin maybe the wimen will be
harmonized.
