MoTHERs.-Some one has said that a
young mother is the most beautiful thing
in nature. Why qualify it? Why young ?
Are not all mothers beautiful? The SEN
timental outside beholder may prefer
youth in the pretty picture ; but | am in
clined to think that sons and daughters,
who are the most intimately concerned
in the matter, love and admire their moth
ers most when they are old. How sug-
gestive of something holy and venerable
It is when person talks Of his {" dear old
motherp Away with your mincing
"mam-mas," and mam-mas," suggestive
only of fine lady, who deputies her du,
ties to nurse, drawing-room maternal
parent, who is afraid to handle her off
spring for fear of spelling her fine new
gown. Give me the homely mother, the
arms of whose love are all embracing, who
is beautiful always, whether old or young
whether arrayed in satin, or modestly
habited in bombazine.

"ONLY A SIMPLE FLOWER. I'VE find
the following touching sentiment in the
New Orleans Times, where it appears as
original:
friend as he saw our eyes fixed intently
upon a little blossom by the wayside.
Yes, only simple flower to him, mol
ther pretty nor bright enough to attract a
careless eye; but most lovely and dear in
our eyes from sacred memories which
make it to us the holiest Of all Gods
countless flowers. With it comes back
to us the pleasant sounds, quiet gladness
of peaceful homestead, now q heap OF
blackened ashes. We close our eyes and
we hear once more the laughter of joyous
children, echoing through its corridors
and groves of oak. Busy little feet come
pattering in from the woodland, and MIN.
Bile fingers choose, from among their floral
spoils, this very flower as love-offering
for the best beloved of the homo circle.
Crossed are now the little hands in their
still repose, quiet the busy feet, and the
sweet voice will greet US no more until
we hear it in the choir of angels on the
resurrection morn.
"Only simple flower J" but it bordered
school-path trodden by one whose feet
from childhood, through the short twenty
two years of his pure young life, never
swerved from the path Of duty. He, too,
has gone to tread the eternal courts, and
the dust of our darlings lie side by side
in the country church-yard,
"Only simple hower~ but the dearest
memories of life, the bitterest throes of
mortal anguish, the dumb despair of a
crushing woe, and the drawing of new
and divine hope lie within its leaves for
us. 1t, too, will fade and crumble into
dust like the hands that gathered it, and
it too, has a resurrection and a new life.

A Returned Confederate.

Tho Lynchburg Firginian tells the fol-
lowing story Of the last returned Con-
federate."
The latest, and perhaps the last to
come, returned Confederate was in this
city Saturday, directfrom the late enemy's
prisons.
His experience since the surrender has
been both eventful and tragic. Soon after
the termination of the war he was, with
other prisoners at Johnson's Island, libe-
rated, but was not furnished with trans
portation. Being without money, he was
at a loss how to get to his home, which is
in Augusta county in this State, nine
miles from Staunton. lie, however, made
his wayinto Indiana, afoot, and in pass
ing through town of that State, went
into hotel, thinking he might meet with
some, one who would give him assistance
A number of men were at the bar drinking,
among them Federal officer, who was
talking about the war;, and among other
things, said that ho had taken an oath to
kill every one of Ashby's men he ever
met with. Without stopping to weigh
the consequences our returned hero spoke
up, on tho impulse of the moment, and
said " he was one of Ashby's men," The
officer at once drew pistol and fred on
him three times, each ball taking effect,
but not in vital points. Our Confederate,
like a wounded lion, rushed on him,
wrenched the weapon from his grasp and
shot the officer dead with remaining
ball. The Confederate was arrested,
thrown in prison, where no suffered long
monts of confinement, and it was only
very recently that he was broug hit to trial,
which resulted in his final acquittal. He
then started again for home, and reached
here Saturday morning by the Tennessee
train He stopped at the Norvell House,
whore he was recognized by gentlemen
who knew him and vouch for his respect
ability and reliability. He also had with
him a copy of the records in the trial pro-
perly authenticated, corroborating his
statements. He was furnished with as
sistance and started for his home Sunday
morning. His name is Simpson, and he
was member of Ashby's command, while
that knightly chieftain rode his wondrous
rounds, and was the first to reach his no.
BILE form when he fell Thus has perhaps
the last rebeP in gray come back to his
home save the long, long list of those
who slept in the g bivouac of the dead
who will return never again to the homes
for which they fought SO well.

Matrimonial Awakening.

The Mississippi Iropic thus strongly
appeals to the bachelor portion of that
section to abandon life Of celibacy:
Young men of Meridian, can't you in
aueurate q matrimonial revival? Are
YOU going to allow tho balmy evenings
of the low summer months, with their
soft and gentle moonlights, to waste away
in Improbable silence? Are you ever
dreaming of dollars, and watching crops
and gold fluctuations? Will you never
tire Of those four old black walls that
seem to hold your every thought and i'm.
pulse? Have you not rolled and tumbled
long enough on that weary cot, lonely
and alone in all your selfshness?
Are YOU not ashamed to know that
night after night your guardian angel has
to hover over and watch your worthless,
trifing form, with no answering slumbers
near you-watching one slow, heavlng
bosom, when it could as well watch two !!
Are YOU not ashamed of all this? In the
name of your mother, Of humanity and
religion, we conjure you, nay, implore
vou2be mana married man Arise,
ye bachelors, fror: your slumbers-"weeP
and howl for the miseries that shall come
upon you." Come to the altar of your
affections, and let us have such revival
as will make old Hymen weep for joy"
Commenting or the above, the Bran
don Miss Republican says: >
That's right, Jerry, hit 'em again !!
They have no right to live single and de-
prive young womanhood of the pleasures
of married life. Men and women were
created for the mutual benefit and pleas
ure of each other, and the man who refu-
ses to love, cherish and support at least
one woman, when there are so many OF
them that need it, ought to be disowned
by the mother who bore him, and locked
up in some dismal dungeon, where he
would never see the bright eyes or hear
the sweet accents of the pure and lovely.

A SECRET WORTH KNowINa.-An able
writer gives utterance to the following
valuable secret: 20
This looking forward to enjoyment
don't pay. From what L know OF it, |
would as soon chase butterflies for liv-
ing, or bottle up moon shine for cloudy
nights. The only true way to be happy,
is to take the drops of happiness as God
gives them to us every day of our lives
The boy must learn to be happy while he
is learning his trade the merchant while
making his fortune. If he fails to learn
this art, he will be sure to miss his enjoy
ment when he gains what he has sighed
for

HUMAN LovE.-Consciousn of being
loved gives comfort and strength, and
makes trust in God real, living feeling
that influences the daily life. If there is
no love about us; if all mon turn glances
of dislike upon us, and close their hands
against us, then our hearts grow hard,
and we find it difficult to raise at once,
without the aid of human steps, above
earthly pain and dcsolation to love and
confidence in God; all has tendency to
become dark above as it is around
whereas love and kindness keep our
hearts open dear, loving people are to us
witnesses of the love and tenderness OF
God-are his angels whom he sends to
show us that he has not forgotten US.

WANT OF DEcIs1oN.-Sidney Smith says
d great deal of talent is lost to the world

WANT OF FDECIsION.-Sldney Smith says
great deal of talent is lost to the world
for the want of little courage. Every
day sends to their graves number of OBJ
scure men, who have only remained in
obscurity because their timidity has pre-
vented them from making first effort,
and who, if they only had been induced
to begin, would, in all probability, have
gone great lengths in the career Of fame.
The fact is, that, in doing anything in the
world worth doing, we must not stand
shivering on the bank, thinking of the
cold and danger, but jump in and scram-
BILE through as well as we can. 1t will
not do to be perpetually calculating risks
and adjusting nice chances; it did well be-
fore the food, when man could consult his
friends upon an intended publication for
hundred and fifty years, and live to see
it's success for six Or seven centuries al
terward; but at present a man waits and
doubts, and consuIts his brothers, and his
uncles, and his particular friends, till one
day he finds that he is sixty-fve years of
age, that he has lost 80 much time in con-
sulting first cousins and particular friends
that he has no time to follow their advice.
There is so little time for over-squeam-
ishness at present that the opportunity
slips away. The very period of life at
which man chooses to venture, if ever, is
so confined, that it is no bad rule to preach
up the necessity, in such instances, Of a
little violence done to the feelings, and
efforts made in defiance of strict and sober
calculation.
