not met before since the close Of che war,
and their greeting was that Of true and tried
friends, who loved and trusted each ethers
We have no inclination to pry Into the pri-
vacies of two such men, but the twinkle of
laughing eyes and inferred fun expressed In
their greeting, and use of old nicknames--
their significance best known to themselves
told of pleasant bygones.
Buta nobler exhibition Of the generosity
of mind and personal honor was that af-
forded yesterday in the meeting of General
George H. Thomas with his old comrade-ini
arms, General John B. Hood. Upon two
disastrous fields for the Confederacy, General
Thomas had been matched against Hood,
and had overwhelmingly beaten him at
Franklin and Nashville, and added lustre to
the stars and stripes. Yesterday, as General
Hood stumped into the dining room of the
Louisville Hotel to take his midday meal,
General Thomas rose from his seat to meet
the MANNED and gallant Hood, and cordially
greeted his old companion-in-arms The
two Generals dined together like old friends
and no doubt had many "reminiscences to
recall of scenes by food and field in auld
lang syne. Their interview was most genial
and pleasant, apparently, and we believe
that such meetings go further to re-unite
the late opposing section than a thousand

The Early Home of Jesus.

Four miles south of the strong Greek city
of Sephoris, hidden away among gentle hills,
then covered from the base to the crown
with vineyards and fig trees, laid a natural
nest or basin Of rich red and white earth,
star-Gke shape, but mile In width and won
drously fertile. Along the sacred and chalky
slope Of the highest of those hills spread
small and lovely village, which, in land
where every stone seemed to have a story, is
remarkable as having had no public history,
and no distinguished name. No great road
led up to this sunny nook. No traffic came
into it no legions marched through it,
Trade, war, adventure, pleasure, pomp, pass
ed through it, flowing from west to east,
from east to west, along the Roman road,
But the meadows were aglow with wheat
and barley Near the low ground ran belt
of gardens, fenced with stones, In which my
riads Of green figs, red pomegranates and
golden citrons ripened in the summer sun.
High up the slopes, which were lined and
planted like the Rhine at Bingen, hung vim
tages Of purple grapes. In the plain, among
the corn and beneath the mulberry trees and
figs shone daisies, poppies, tulips, lilies and
anemones, endless In their profusion, bril-
liant In their dyes.
Low down on the hillside sprang well of
water, bubbling, plentiful and sweet, and
ABOVE tnlS fountain OF lie, III long street
struggling from the fountains to the syna-
gogue, rose the homesteads of many shep-
herds, craftsmen and vinedressers. 1t was
a lovely and humble place, of which no ru-
ler, no historian of Israel has ever yet taken
notice. No Rachael had been met and kiss
ed into love at this well no Ruth had gath
cred up the sheaves of barley In yon fields
no town had been built for observation on
this height no camp had been pitched for
battle in that vale. That one who would be-
come dearer to the fancies Of men than eth
er Ruth or Rachael, then walked through
these fields, drew water at this spring, pass
ed up and down the lanes of this hamlet, no
seer could have surmised. The place was
more than obscure.
The AIab may have pitched his black tent
by the well, the magistrate of Sephoris must
have known the village, but the hamlet
was never mentioned by the Jewish
scribes. In the bible, in the Talmud, la the
writings of Josephus, we search In vain for
any record of this sacred place. Like its
happy neighbors, Main and Endor, 1t was
the abode Of husbandmen and oil-dressers,
whose lives were spent in tine synagogue aud
the olive grove, away from the bright Greek
cities and the busy Roman roads. No doubt
it had once been possessed of either an Arab
or Hebrew name, but we do not know the
name except in It's Hellenic FORM The
Greeks called the town Nazaret or Nazaseth-

The "situation" South.

We but utter one Of the most obvious OF
truths when we say that it is impossible fol
the North and the South to remain perma-
nently or for any considerable time in their
present relations to each other. Those re-
| latlons are anomalous and unnatural. They
must inevitably change soon in one way OF
another How the change is to be wrought
and what is to be its character, time will re-
veal-we cannot. Our anticipations are not
joyous
There can be no doubt, that the South,
oppressed, humiliated, treacherously wrong
ed, cruelty disappointed in all her rational
hopes and just expectations, treated contu-
meliously and in bad faith, and beholding
no reliable indication of future justice on
the part of the North, is Welding gradually
to the natural influences Of strong and out
rageous provocation. Her resentment to-
ward the North is continually growing deep
er and more intense. Her feeling in regard
to that section is tending towards antipathy,
whom she considers her tyrants and despots
is greater than it was year ago and far
greater than it was two years ago. Her pa
tience has been extraordinary, but it has no;
proved indomitable Though she is neither
clustering nor noisy, the fire of her nature
is not quenched. Every month she cares
less and less for restoration, and, if it be de-
ferred for any long period, she will in all
probability be utterly indisposed to accept il
at all
The majority of the Northern people, il
the Radicals constitute the majority, are
blind. Prejudice and passion have covered
with thick film their sightless orbs. They
cannot discern what the nations prosperity
and safety require. The country's condition
is at present most wretched. 1t IS almost
exactly the condition which, at terrible sac.
rifices, we fought nearly four years to avert.
We carried on war to prevent the Union
from being divided, but virtually and for
nearly all practical purposes it IS divided -
We are scarcely better off in respectto Union
now than we should have been, if the Con-
federates had won triumph, established
IHCll iHdepeHueHCc; anu accomplished all
their purposes. If the existing state of af-
fairs is to endure, all the sacrifices of the war
were in vain. The ten excluded States are
of no benefit to u.s. We derive no advan-
tage fran our connection or quasi-connection
with them. As distinct nation, they would,
if Southern nation and Northern nation
could keep the peace toward each other, be
as advantageous to us as they are now, if
not far more so. Therefore, by holding them
as they are, We grossly wrong not only them,
but also ourselves. louisville Journal

How Soldiers Meet.

The manner in which these men who led
the great opposing armies during the war,
now meet is enough to put to the blush the
miserable stay-at-home towards, who are
still endeavoring to keep alive the feeling
of hatred between the two sections of our
country
The Baltimore Commercial states that at
the Horse Fair, in that city, on Saturday,
General Grant was present, and occupying
one of the stands, when his attention was
called to the fact that General Joe Johnston
was upon the other, the question being put,
Would he ike to see him ?"
Certainly was the reply of the Gener-
al. ''There is no man on the ground would
be more pleased to see!
General Johnston was sent for and cor
dial greeting took place. While this was
going on, General Stoneman also made his
appearance, like cordial greeting occurring
the three occupying the stand for couple OF
hours In company.
The Louisville Journal gives the follow
ing pleasant account of recent meeting In
that CITY between General Hood and General
George II. Thomas of the United States
army

euished Confederate officers have been In

LADIES SHOULD READ NEWSPAPERS. =
Its great mistake in female education to
keep young lady's time and attention de-
voted to the fashionable literature of the
day. IF you would qualify her for converse
ton, you must give her something to talk
about-give her education with this actual
world and its transpiring events. Urge her
to read the newspapers, and become familiar
with the present character and improve
ments of our trade. History is of some i'm
portance but the past world is dead, and
we have nothing to do with it. Our thoughts
and our concerns should be for the present
world, to know what it is, and improve the
condition of it. Let her have an intelligent
opinion and be able to sustain a conversation
concerning the mental, moral, political and
religious improvements of our times.

BY RAVEN.

Beautiful otzinachsOn+ my eye turns to thee,
Not to describe the gories, in thy valley see,
For with The at present. pen has naught to do
But with events that happened. near hundred
years ago.
While yet with native forests. thy plans were
cred DER.
With scarce an open clearing from the mou ntain
the shore,
No town adorned thy borders or cities decked thy
plaiRs,
Or locomotive whistles, announced approaching
trains.
Ere yet tanned lightning. led iron strings,
Intelligent with messages, from distant places
brings,
Nor hum Of busy Industry, trace of human skill.
Declared the white mans energy his persevering
will.
The Indian built his wigwam amid thy forests wild
And gathered there. his treasures, his tawny wife
and child,
To feed and cloth his family, he roamed thy forest
through.
glided Thy waters in his bsaceful birch canoe.
Or standing some emin enee, he views The pleas
ing scene.
And thanks the great '.Manitoa" for this beautiful
domain,
And vainIy thinks forever, his tribe shall own these
hills,
These mountains, and this valley, this river and
these riIIs.
AT length white mans axe disturbs his reverie,
For ITS resounding strokes, proclaim his destiny,
And with sulien sadness he the tnibers fall,
To him the gloomy picture denotes the loss Of all.
Now commenced the struggle, the white man, with
the red,
In which both nations. suf cred and plentfuy blcd,
The Ineans claim ell by birth right, the Whites by
lawful deed,
And t!at they came to cultivate, and fill ha ground
with seed,
That generations might reap the fruits OF toll
And thousands might be fed, by the tilling of the
soil
Tn. red man teIt the pleasure, of being wild and
free.
And claimed that God had given him, this fruiIless
liberty,
Forgetfu his bur led in he ground,
And God who bad him cultivats wOrthier servant
found.
For this splendid couufzg was to remain.

And what we now are seeing, but speaks with rea-
sons voice,
And every year proving, the wisdom his choice,
is bu; the fruits Of knowledge superi skill
That works glorious destiny according His
will.
Though pity of may prompt US, to take the Ind

And give him in our sympathes, tho f ceilings of eur

Yet reason speaks for iastice will decide,
That by the will 6 Heaven the should abide
Hence, though the Red man struggled, his hunting

Yet from his settled destiny, power on earth

While by rssistless power, he's long since passed

CHRISTMAS CAROL.
BY EGO.

Hail thou auspicious morn
Thou day when Christ was born
We hail thy light
Day of Saviors birth
Day of good will on earth
Day whose exceeding worth,
Has banished night.
Bring unto each mind
Good will to all mankind
Good will in Heaven,
Our Saviors natal day,
Chase thou our doubts away
And cast thy rising say,
Ger sins forgiven.
Let Bethlehems rising star
Light still world afar-
AS time shall roll
And by Christs agony
On the accursed tree
Let love and mercy be
'Graved in each soul.
This day around the heart
With loved ones of the earth
We praise Gods love;
And as with wife and child,
We journey through earths wild,
0, Savior meek and mild
Bend from above.
And let thy kingdom ceme
Within each heart and home,
Till time shall end
Still lead US in thy way
Still teach us how to pray,
Be thou our guide and stay,
Our God and friend.

TILTING HooPs THAT there exists an
certainly no proof of want of manliness in
a community where it is observable. If a
woman's delicacy is shocked by the idea of
too free an exhibition, so far as her own case
is concerned, she hasit under entire control;
and there is no lack of horrid examples to
illustrate the enormity of the practice and
to suggest infallible methods for It's correc-
ton. On the other hand pretty foot, a
shapely ankle, are indubitably strong attrac-
tions in woman, and if she chooses to show
them she wilassuredly never lack admirers to
appreciate the privilege. There is nothing
instrinsically more iRmodest in showing the
lower limbs than ON showing the upper ones,
and as the latter are usually revealed with
out covering, and the former are not, the dis
tinction, if any is ON the safe side Deci-
dedly, there is less suggestion of indelicacy
even in revelation extending to the knee
than in the over liberal exposure of the bo-
som too often seen in society, and which fash
ion still appears to sanction. A nice foot
and ankle, well boot ed, and rounded con
tinuation well hosed, however attractive as
we have seen them to be do not convey, save
to very morbid and unmanly imaginings,
such significant associations as does the bra
zen revealment of those parts of the figure
which decent women even of barbarouss,
nations have ever yelled as sacred symbols
of maternity. Nol Such developments, to
a healthy mind, are entirely shocking and
demoralizing. There is only danger that,
like all pleasant piquantor slightly equiyocal
things, they may be carried too far-or, to
be more exact, that the skirts may be tilted
too high.-Round Table.

end, than truth. Tell your child the truth
Tell him that obedience requires unpaid sac
rifces. Tell him that he need not expect
that purse of gold will drop into his hand
the moment he denies himself of coveted
pleasure. Tell him that the path of duty is
often terribly hard, and seldom leads to an
oil well, or seat in Congress, or to brown
stone front house. Tell him that virtue
sometimes brings thorns, enmities, neglect
But tell him that it is virtue, nevertheless !;
the brightest, the noblest, and the best of
gifts, and whatever comes of goodness it is
the one thing desr able, itself above all price
Make him feel that obedience is pleasure,
that goodness is delight, that love is altegeth-
er lovely, and he will not expect to be paid
for the smallest service and be tempted to
withhold kindness when he is not sure of
a reward. Parents must cease appealing to
the appetites and the avarice of their chill
