Be Occupied.

Constant occupation prevents temptation.
Virtue and happiness are mother and daugh-
ter. God gives every bird its food, but does not
throw it in the nest An able man shows his
spirit by gentle words and resolute actions;
be neither hot nor humid. A man is never
SC. apt to be crooked as when he is in strait,
Our real wants are few. The stomach tires
of every thing but bread and water There
is one good wife in the country; let every man
think he hath her. A woman's tears soften a
mans heart; her fattery, his head.

FLkTTERING FORMAL RECEPTION. AT COLUMBUS.
GRAND BANQUET, ."nH
Gen. Grant Declines to be Made a
Political Tool OF.
Refuses to Allow the President to be In
suited Through Him,

CINcrNNAT1, Sept. dramatically after the
banquet at Louisville last evening the President
and party proceeded on board the palatial
steamer United States and were soon coursing
swiftly up the waters of the Ohio.
During the whole trip up the river the banks on
both sides presented very brilliant and pictu.
rescue scene. The darkness of the night ap.
peared not to interfere in the slightest degree
with the carrying out of enthusiastic preparations
to do honor to the President. AT every landing
sautes were fred crowds collected, and iumina-
tons were arranged
At Madison the preparations were particularly
elaborate but the President did not speak any
where.
Considering the time of night that it was the
quickness Of the passage by the localities referred
to, the demonstrations made by the people were
very fattering. At several points, the river pre-
sented the appearance of being all a-blaze with
light thrown upon it, from the ilIuminations on the
banks.
The President retired at an early hour, and rose
this morning in time to witness some of the enthu-
siasm manifested, even before breakfast time, at
the various villages and farms being passed.
Shortly after breakfast, the steamboat was met
by the steamboats, Rowena and Dumont, having
on board a committee of four hundred to repre-
sent the citizens of Cincinnati. Accompanying
them were several fine bands of music. The there
boats were Immediately lashed together, and thus
they proceeded up the river.
! The various members of the committee, among
whom was the Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, U. S.
minister to Mexico, were introduced to the Presi,
dent, and shook hands with him.
This demonstration was spontaneous on the
part of the citizens of Cincinnati themselves, the
city authorities having with equal taste and judg
ment refused to extend the hospitalites of the
city to the President and his party.
The President on arriving at Cincinnati was re
ceiyed at the wharf by battlion of regular nfan.
try, with military honors, and with warm demon
stratons of enthusiasm by an immense crowd Of
citizens. Salutes were fred from the arsenal, ant
from several other points in the city.
There were also hearty demonstrations at Gov
ington and Newport.
From the yhaIf the President and party pro
ceeded on foot to the Spencer House, opposit,

THE PARIS ExPosITIoN.-An interesting letter is
published elsewhere from J. G. Derby, Esq,
United States agent to the Paris Universal Expo
siton of 1867, to Mr. Edward GottheiI, the com
missioner from this State. Mr. Derby writes to
ascertain the number of applications which will be
made from this State to the Paris Exposition, and
ofwhat character will be the productions offered.
As the catalogues are, it is MENTIONED to be for.
warded on to Paris by the 18th of this month, the
letter states that applications should be in New
York by the 10th of September, or as soon there
after as possible. There is an obvious difficulty
that presents ITSELF whether or not there is still
sufficient time, but we leave each reader to solve
it for himself We sincerely hope that something
Ill be done towards representing the varied pro.
dlctions of Louisiana and need hardly remind our
citizens that any rewards of merit they may OBJ
2iu from such an exposition will be remembered
4or long time hereafter.

to the jury on oath.
Her husband was in prison, charged with the

quire her to give evidence, in relation to the
homicide.
She could neither testify for nor against hima

The Austin Gazette publishes the following
communication from one of the Texas delegates
to the PHILADELPHIA convention:

NEW ORLEANs, la, Aug. 25, 1866.
Hon. Nat. N, BlpTord-I have just arrived
here from the Philadelphia convention. The action
of that convention has inspired our friends North
with confidence and enthusiasm, and there is a
prospect OF our government being restored. The
President, and in fact all friends, hopeful.
| am now, but was not before this convention.
The platform was made to carry the Northern
elections, and unless it could do this, it could do
us no good All the Southern delegates indorsed
it. There is much in it which Southern men can
not iudorse except as choice of evils it is this
or the programme of the radicals; to avert that
bitter cup, we take this.
In order to strengthen our friends North it is
suggested that the action of this convention be IL
dorsed in primary meetings. but as a matter of
still more consequences it is thought best that the
legislatures, where they may be in session, be in
duced to do this; hence | write 10 you upon the
subject, and make the suggestion for your consid-
Grafton.
III had time and space, think could make
clear this proposition, but | am fdtigued from
travel, and2m in hurry. The reasoning in favor
of this as &matter of policy, will suggest itsaifto
one of as clear head as yourself.
