paper:
"a Southern lady, on visit to this city,
went to worship in one of the uptown
churches. Soon after an elegantly attired
New York lady, of high social standing en-

the service; after which, the Southern

Let us love while life is given,
For we cannot tell its length
Death may call us in orr weasness.

Let us love oh, fully, freely,
Let the blessed fountain play,
Washing every stain of anger,
From each bosom, ali away.
Let US love in work and action
Not alone in word and thought;
Time is swiftly, surely passing,
Have we on its pages wrought
Some kind act, some silent blessing,
Prompted 10y loving heart.
Daily. with an earnest purpose,
Choosing thus the better partf
Let US love oh, love will tighten
Every burden or complaint;
1t will strengthen weary footsteps,
1t will cheer the sad and faint.
Let us love give out the sunlight,
On the darkened why's of life,
Let its sweet rays melt the hardness,
And subdue the wrong and strife.
Let us love | oh, love will hallow
Every duty, pain or care:
Give 1t freely, give it fully,
1t is needed everywhere.
Let us love while life is given,
For We cannot tell its length,
Death may call us in our weakness,
1t may snatch us in our strength.

A HERo.-Peace hath not only her vic
tories, but her heroes. The St. Hyacinth
Courier thus records an instance of true
heroism:
"As train of the Grand Trunk was
passing through this locality during the
night, young gentleman, Mr. Bachand,
noticed that house was on tire, while the
people seemed not to have wakencd up.
lie urged the conductor to stop the train,
or at least sackcn it, but met With reii.s
al. The courageous young man leaped,
however, from the cars, broke his leg, and
yet crNpt to the burning house, which was
that of Mr. Urgclic Desmarais, merchant
The family were all asleep, as Mr. Bach
and had supposed, and he reused them in
time to save their lives, with one exception,
that Of young lady, twenty two years old,
a niece Of MIR. Desmarais."

A TRUE MAY.-The man whom 7 call

deserving the name, is one whose thoughts
and cxertions are for others rather than
hlmsclf-whose high purpose is adopted
on just principles, and never abandoned
while heaven or earth affords means of ac-
con- plishing it.
He is one who will neither seek an in.
direct advantage by specous road, nor
take an evil path to secure really good
purpose. Such n man were one for whom
a woman's heart should beat constant while
she breathes, and break when she dies.

CHL RIGHrs.-A case involving the con-
stitutionaliy Of the Civil Rights bill has just
been decided adversely by Judge Thomas, Of
the Circuit Court of Virginia sitting in Alex
andria, in civil action between white men.
One of the parties offered TO produce negro
evidence; the Judge decided that inasmuch
us the State laws Of Virginia forbade the
introduction OF negro testimony in civil suits
to which white men alone were parties, the
evidence of the negro was inadmissable, and
that no Congressional legislation could i'm
pair her right to decide what persons or
classes of persons were competent TO testify
10 her courts.
This decision will doubtless lead TO much
discussion, and create no little excitement
before its 6nal settlement by superior author

Recipe for Safety at the South.

The Nashville Tenn. Press and Times, in
commenting upon the hostile spirit manifested to-
ward Northern men in the South, concludes by
giving the following recipe for personal safety at
the South. We recommend it to the attention OF
Temigrants
-" However, we have patent recipe for being
perfectly safe in the most dangerous portions of
the South Let the newcomer buy plantation
and try to pay part down in Confederate money
new issue is best-giying mortgage for the
remainder. Though you are not likely to
succeed, yet it will look as ifyou were to the ma
nor born. Say you came from some part of Mis-
sissippi, or Alabama, where the id Freedmen s
Bureau had you arrested for thrashing niger
for asking for bis wages. Having concluded
your purchase, have the portrait of JEFF Da-
Wis painted on your front door, and for fear that
the people may mistake the counterfeit presented
for Abraham Lincoln have Jeff's name put UNI
derneath. Then hang photographs of Bob Lee
and Stonewall Jackson over your parlor mantle
piece. Procure couple Of bulldogs, and name
one Forrest and the other Hood. Finally, let
yourself out Justify for my policy : denounce
the State government of Tennessee as parcel of
vulgar imposters curse old Brownlow for every
thing you can think of, and advocate the policy
of hanging three radical Congressman on the
same gallows every Sunday morning, to be fol-
lowed by sending their three several hearts,
fried in Southern butter, to the White House, as
a desert for Andy Johnson's dinner. By all
means subscribe for the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
daily consign the Press and Times to that lower
depth which Satan once found somewhere in the
lowest depth. Do this, and you will do your du-
ty as good citizen, will be minding your own
business, and will never be meddlesome nor often
