should? He felt contempt for, father; at
the same time, believe he had some admi-
ration for his dignity and patience. Uncle
Zcb was too clear minded not to understand
himself. He began to hate himself, and
this self-hatrcd made him reckless: from

much, she said, hut she would like to see
the woman who understood tailoring better.
She called Uncle Feb s.superior being"

toward him was full Of humility, and if he
came near her, she made feint Of retreat

THE New. YORK News is now taken

nndisputed fact that it has larger circu-
Iatlon in the South than tho journals OF the
New York Press combined will insure the

Advertisers now availing themselves OF
the opportunity to make known their busi-

tance of its great circulation throughout
the South, in consequence Of the large or
ders received by them, certify to the value
OF this journal as the best medium for ad-
vertising, and the public generally de-
pending upon publicity to secure an exten-

relates to commercial or financial matters
no matter what may be the particular bust

blood and terror in assertion o of tbe ears sanc OF
tity of the Constitution. A patriotism
sufficiently broad to embrace both sections
has been its only guide, and it refers nov
with honest pride to its record to show that
it mas not turned to the right or tho left
under all the violence Of arbitrary power.
True to its principles as THE News has
been through the reign of terror, it chal-
lenges public confidence in its honesty and
independence for the future
The political transition of the present
day opens to THE NEWS n new and wider
field OF usefulness. Standing now, as it
always has, on the inviolabiEty of the Con-
stitution, according to the Interpretation Of
the strict constructionists, it presents a
rallying ground for all, i'll both sections
who are friends of generous conservatism.

step to find an easy place to fall when I
was plugged. An old woman overlook
me, and axd her to take my watch and
my money. She took em in hurry
and put EN- in her boozum. Well, I
found O gully at last, and rolld in
kerslosh, for. it was about two feet
deep in mud and water. The infer
nails found me there jest at night,
and got me out at the pint of the
baynet. They marched me to The
wolf pen and there I stayd till the
fuss was over.
"Right here, Bill, I want to make
an observation. There was a feller
with me when T was cotch'd and I
seed him make sorter of a alsign to
the captain, and they turned him
loose in two minets, and he Jest went
about anywhere as material as king,
while I had a crossey'd dutchmar
! standin over me with a baynet grin
min from mornin till night. There
was some Free Masonry about that,
Bill, and if another one of these fool
wars comes along, I'll jine EN-, if
they'll let me.
''But I'm at home now for good.
I'm gwine to stay here like sine die.
I'm agin all wars and fghtins. I'm
opposed to all rows and rumpusses
and riots. I don't keer nigh as much
about q dog fight as I used to. Now,
if one could always see the eend of a
thing n advance, and The eend aras all
right, wouldent mind q big fuss, but
then you know a mans foresights
amt as good as his hind sights. If
they was, this war wouldent have
broke out, and I wouldent hav lost
my steer, nor my watch. I never
seed that woman before nor since,
and I wouldent know her from any
other woman that wake the yearth-
bland if I'm certain whether she
were white or black Bill, how is
your ohspring?"
Hungry as usual, I thank you my
frend," sed I.
"How's Mrs. Arp?"
"Rebellious, John, very; but
think shell be harmonized- aclile
--dtier ar1lile."
Mr.. Editur, I will not relate further
of these trying adventures at this
time. Big John are now entirely
harmonious, and I suppose his future
career will be all screen. Yours as
ever, BILL ARP.
P. S.-Mrs. Arp wants you to git
back the letters I writ her when she
were sweet sixteen. Them offisers
have got EN-, and I suppose have
laugbd all the funny part away by
this time. They containd some fool
thing that boys will write when they
fall in love, and my wife sometimes
| used EN- upon me as reminders of
broken promises.
She says, if they'll send EN-, shell
try and forgive em-dHe,' achile.
Don't trouble yourself much, Mr..

She looked, l assure you, exceedingly blue,
And fretruily cried, You're Jew-you're

Again, when it happened that wishing to
