they North or South God bless those who
are true to themselves, and who honor the
heart which alone makes woman lovely.
Women of the North, as you read of the
sorrow of those of your sex of the South,
those you have been taught to hate, those
who have suffered beyond their strength,
as your read of their love for those who
fought for them, let your hearts warm and
soften for those who never Wronged you.
AS you. sit down to run your jeWeled I'm
gers over pianos, harps, and guitars, if these
instruments be the ones youg husbands or
sons stole from Southern homes and sent
North. as trophies of their bravery( y, let
your fingers draw forth at least one strain
of sadness and sorrowful melody in remem-
brance of the ones your stolen musical in
struments rightfully belong to. And as
your eyes rest on rings, pins, and other
iewelry stolen from Southern women, let
your hearts go down to the land of ashes
and graves, and ruined homes, and see from
whence came these mementOes you so glory
over.
And when you sWeeten your tea from
silver tongs, OF sip it from silver spoons
sent to you from Southern homes, think for
one moment of the bitter tears shed on
Memorial Day by the ones whose initials
are on those things, or we're before you
had them made over ''to hide the ugly
marks" s
Thank God, the vandals who disgraced
the name of American soldiers, and who
plundered defenseless Southern homes un-
der the sanction of Lincoln and Stanton,
had not the power to beat back the God
given right to shed tears, and to hold sa-
cred in memory the ones who were to them
dear and worthy. They have lost their
homes-they have lost their loved ones
they have taken the rose and the magnolia
to deok the graves of their loved ones-they
have pillowed their heads on tear-wet
graves, and given US renewed faith in the
purity and goodness of women.
And then was it not kind in our govern
ment to send but two regiments of troops to
guard against any 'rebellion" on the part
of these thirty thousand weeping women
and children? We do not know whether
they were colored or not, but seems they
were sufficient. "BRICK'' PoMERoE, =

An Interesting Story of the War.

TFrom the Cincinnati Commercial.l
There is now living in this city family,
she history of which forms something so
romantic as to constitute most interesting
story.
In the summer of 1859 Charles Geroux
became a graduate of college in the south
ern part of this State. He was the descend
ant of an aristocrstic family who lived in
Louisiana, and to be brief, he was then a
full embodiment of the ''chiEalTy," just
having entered his majority. While attend
ing college he had formed the acquaintance
of Clara G., who attended college for
young ladies in this city, which acquaint-
ance ripened into attachment and love, and
Just before the breaking out Of the rebellion
they were married, and removed South
Miss. g. was an orphan, possessed of q con
siderable property, which was held in trust
by her uncle, a Southern minister, who had
raised her from infancy, and personally
superintended her education. In addition
to the endowments Of a collegiate education,
she was possessed of strong character,
bordering almost on the masculine, but
tempered with sweetness and mildness
not often combined in the same person. She
was at once handsome and womanly.
Within year after their marriage and
settlement in the South, came the fierce,
wild blasts of war from Sumter's parapet,
and there was none more ready to enter the
deadly fray than Charles GeFoux. His po-
litical tutors were practical seeessiOnists,
and he entered upon the war with fsrvor
and zeal to command the admiration Of his
friends, and which secured him a Majors
commission His wife opposed his mad
scheme with all the power of woman's
eloquence, but 70 no avail. She openly es-
pOused the cause Of the Union, and stead
lastly refused to cooperate with her new
friends snd usighbors.

ReautifuI Figure.

Two painters were employed to frescoe
the walls of magnificent cathedral; both
stood on rude scafolding. constructed for
the purpose, some eighty feet from the
floor:
One of them was SO intent upon his work
that he became wholly absorbed and in ad-
miratlon stood off from the picture, gazing
at it with delight. Forgetting where he
was, he moved backward slowly, surveying
critically the work of his pencil, until be
had neaf5d the very edge of the plank upon
which he stood.
At this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly, almost frozen with horror,
beheld his imminent peril; another instant
aud the enthusiast would be precipitated
upon the pavement beneath. If he spoke
to him it would, be certain death-if he held
his breath death was equally sure.
Suddenly he regained his presence of
mind, and seizing wet brush, flung it
against the wall, scattering the beautiful
picture with unsightly blotches of eoloring.
The painter few forward, and turned upon
his friend with fierce impreoations-but
startled at his ghastly face, he listened to
the recital of danger, looked suddenly over
the dread space below, and with tears Of
] gratitude blessed the hand that saved him.

Our Flowers.
BY LILLIAN II.


Go to our home and I'll show you
.aA A cluster of beautiful flowers,
The fairest, the sweetest that ever bloWed
In Northern OF Southern bowers;
They bloom IN their home so sweetly,
Like costly jewels set
In wreath of gold, our lovely buds
Rose, Lilly, and Mignonette.
First is Lizzie, the merry little sprite,
Her black eyes flashing with fun,
Whose tripping feet are never still
From rise till set of sun;
The beautiful face, ever wreathed with smile,
No sorrow her young heart Knows
Tho round cheeks, dimpled and blushing-
She is our winsome Rose.
SALLIE, the blue-eyed silent one, -.e
E With face so meek and fair,
with our every thought for thee, dear one,
Is mingled an earnest prayer.)
Around her forehead, like halo twines
s. Her ripping, golden hair
Twin sister to our blooming Rose
Is our Lilly so sweet and fair.
Now, HATTIE, the youngest, the fairy elf,
With hazel eyes, sparkling bright,
Never walking but dashing thro' that home,
Carrying with her tide of light;
Il Into every mischief is her tiny hands,
Our darling, dark-eyed pet:
Our home would indeed be darkened
Without our MignOnette.
That home is humble, but what care we!
We have our beautiful flowers
Wewould not exchange for Rothsehild' gold
afs Those pure, sweet buds of ours, m
Others may boast of their broad, fair lands,
Their gold and station, yet
know they are not so happy as We
With Rose, Lilly and Mignonette.
There are gilded saloons in palace homes
Which ne'er echoed to pattering feet,
Whose walls ne'er gave back the ringing laugh
i.t Of childhood glad and sweet;
No tendrils have twined round the owners
They've ne'er thrilled to baby tone; [heart,
Take land and gold, wen be content
s1i With our buds and cottage home.
Sweet, motherless buds, around each one
Lingers sisters prayer:
May thy paths thro'life be darlzsned meier
By a shadow OF grief and care;
A fathers hand thy steps win guide
As ye roam thro' earthly bowers,
And when He transplants, may ye be meet
To bloom mid heavenly flowers,

A good education is that which prepares

THE WAY TO AvoID CALUANY.-"I any
one speaks i'll Of thee,' p said Epiotus, "eon-
slider whether ne hath truth on his side;
and if so, reform thyself, that his eensures
may not eff ct thee - When Anzimander
was told that the very boys laughed at his
singing, a''Ah - said he, 'sthenI must learn
to sing better.'' Plato being told that he
had many enemies who spoke i'll of him,
said, ''It is no matter, 1 will live so that
none shall believe them. Hearing at another
time that an intimate friend of his had
spoken detractingly of him, he said: 81 am
sure he would not do it if he had not some
reason for it'' This is the surest as well
as the noblest way of drawing sting out
of a reproach, and the true way of prepar-
ing man for the great and only relief
against the pains of calumEy-a good con-
science. t.
