TIE Poor BoY.-Don't be ashamed, my
lad. if you have patch on pour elbow; it
is no mark of disgrace. 1t speaks we'll for
your industrious mother. For our part We
would rather see a dozen patches on your
jacket than hear one prOfane or vulgar word
from your lips, or to smell the fumes Of
whisky and tobacco in your breath. No
good boy will shun you because you can
not dress as we'll as your companions, and
if bad boy sometimes laughs at your sP-
Pearance say nothing, my good lad, but
walk on; he win regret such rudeDess
some day. We know many rich and good
man who was once as poor as you. Fear
God, my boy, and if you are poor, bpA
honest, you will be respected a great deal
more than if you were the son of a ricR
man, and were addicted 10 bad habits.

The Human Fipura

The proportions of the human figure are
strictly mathematical. The whole figure is
six times the length of the foot. Whether
the form be slender or plump, the rule holds
good; any deviation from it is departure
from the highest beauty Of proportion. The
Greeks made all their statues according to
this rule. The face from the highest point
on the forehead where the hair begins to the
chin is one tenth Of the whole stature. The
hand from the wrist to the middle of the
finger is the same. From the top of the
chest to the highest point in the forehead is
a seventh. If the length of the face, from
the roots of the hair to the chin, be divided
into three equal parts, the first division de-
termines the place where the eyebrows meet
and the second the place of the DOstrils.
The height from the feet to the top of the
head is the same as the distance from the
extremity of the figure when the arms are
extended.

By A NIssIssIPPIAN.

Oh have you heard the cruel newsl alas! is true:
Upon the Appomattox, ,down-went our cross ofbluc-
Our armies have surrendered-we bow TO Northern
sway;
And for evermOre forbidden, is the wearing of the
gray.
No on fields of battle, waves the banner of our
pride,
In vain beneath its crimson folds, our Stewart and
Stonewall died;
Like meteor of evening, that flag has passed away
And low lie they who guarded.it the wearers of the
gray.
met Missippian, right hard my hand he wrung,
The tears in his dauntless eyes, and faltering
was his tongue
As in broken words, he told me of that disastrous
Which made badge of infamy, the wearing of the
gray.
Now honor to tie soldier who still is firm and true,
And shame upon the Southern beast, that wears the
foeman's blue.
While round the Blue Ridge rOckey peak, the even
ing mist shall play,
of the gray.
Remember how we scattered them, beneaeh those
mountains old
How tanned the powers of the strong-the valOr
of the bold,
When thund'ring through the bloody gap, old Long
street thrust his way;
Remember this and neer fOrsake, the wearing of the
gray.
We have lost all but honor. our banner bears nc
shame,
Though beaten down by numbers, we keep our an
cient fame,
And though exles from our country in foreign land.
we stray.
Wen not forget our early love- but proudly wear the
gray.
Now here's to our companions, the comrades tru'
who died,
In forefront of the BATTLE close fighting by our side
Though our lips little used to prayer, yet fol
their souls we'll pray,
For they fell beneath our banner for wearing of thu
gray.
But day may yet be coming, boys, in future roll
ing years,
Which may bring revenge and triumph, may wip
away our tears:
When the azure cross shall float again, no more t.
| pass away,
And the token of our victory be-the wearing of tn
gray.

gatneTeQ LOT the coming conulCt, bhab
gloomy forebodings were INDUCED in by the
older people as to the Pernicious habits
which, they supposed, would be formed by
the young men while in the army, and the
state of our society, when they should re-
turn. You will remember that it was said
in this connection that the war would ne
cesaitate the enlargement of our jsils and
would be the means of enriching the Golfers
of our Attorney Generals. The older men,
who had served with Jackson or in the war
with Mexico, knew very well the tempta-
tions to evil, by which their sons and grand
sons would be surrounded during their
terms of service. They knew that the boys
who started out as soldiers, would be de-
prived of the wholesome restraints Of paren-
tai affection and authority, and that the
genial influence cf a mothers entreaties
and sisters caresses would be felt no more.
They were acquainted with all the evils in
cident to camp-life in the army, and they
feared that the moral sensibilities of the
young would be blunted, that habits of
idleness and sensuality would :sbe acquired,
and that the reckless disregard for individ-
ual rights. so often exhibited by the multi
tude, would prove contagious to, and take
lasting root IN the minds of individuals
But, while the people of the South were
afflicted and scouraged by the hostile tread
Of invading armies, they were, in a measure,
blessed, in having been forced to keep their
own armies upon their own soil, where the
temptations to plunder, robbery and crimes
of every grade were restrained by all the
motives to honor as well as by military sub
ordination. So that aside from other con-
siderations which might be mentioned, it is
reasonable to suppose that the South, unlike
the North, will be relieved in very great
measure, of the evils referred to.
And now, Mr.. Editor, in support of the
last hypothesis, permit me to ask you how
many returned Rebels Of Giles county ,
with parols or honorable discharges from
service in their pockets, have been accused
or convicted of any violation of law, since
their return home? AS well as l remember,
moro than two thousand soldiers entered the
Southern army from this county. How
many were parOled or hOnOrably discharg-
ed have no means of knowing, but nqt one
Of them, so far as l know, has been accused
of any crime or misdemeanor since their
return, more than twelve months ago. They
have gone to work with wonderful unanimi-
ty and earnestness and the honest people o.
Giles county, of whatever political opinion
they may be, win bear me out in the asser
ton that more quiet, peaceable, indus
trious and law-abiding class of men cannO
be found anywheae.
Are not such men worthy of self-goverh.
ment? and should they not "be trusted

SENS altoN SToRY.-Whenever you wish
10 get up sensation story, do it in this
style:
If you have occasion to remark that your
hero drank a jug of beer, say: "He revel-
led in the foam-covered liquid-he swal-
lowed it wildly, furiOusly-paused for
brsath-again sank his nose, mouth and
chin into the gigantic tankard. and with an
appalling oath, that shook the rafters of
the crazy barn, shouted 'Tis done! ha!
hal I've swigged it all-all--every dropl
hal hal haP'' You will see at once the
picturesqueness of the latter mode of des-
cription; and yet you will observe, after
all, that it expresses the same event as the
first miserable sentence, namely-the fact
