RELIGIOUS CoURrsuIp. A young gentle.
man happened to sit at church in pew ad-
joining one in which sat a lady, for whom he
conceived sudden and violent passion, and
was DESTROYS Of entering into a courtship on
the spot but the place not suiting formal
declaration, the exigency Of the case sugges-
ted the following plan: He politely handed
his fair neighbor a Bible open, with a pin
stuck in the following text: Second Epistle
of John, verse fifth: "And now / beseech
thee, lady, not as though I wrote 8 new
command unto thee, but that which we had
from the beginning, that we love one an
other" She returned it pointing to the sec
ond chapter of Ruth, verse, tenth Then
she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the
ground, and said unto him, why have I
found grace in thine, eyes, that thou shouldst
take knowledge IF me, seeing that I am
stranger 2" He returned the book, pointing
to the thirteenth verse of the Third Epistle of
John. Having many things to write unto
you, [ would not write with paper and ink.
but trust to come unto you, and speak face
to face that our joy may be full From
the above interview amarriage took place the
ensuing week.

To Stop BLEEDING FROM THE NosE.-

Just put piece of paperm your mouth,
chew it rapidly, and it will stop the bleeding
from the nose" So says scientific paper and
adds, doubtless any substance would answer
the same purpose as paper, the stoppage Of
the flow Of blood being caused no doubt by
the rapid motion Of the jaws, and the counter
action of the muscles and arteries connected
with the jaws and nose. Physicians state that
the placing small roll Of paper or muslin
above the front teeth under the upper lip, and
pressing hard on the same will arrest bleeiing
at the nose, checking the passage of the blood
through the arteries leading to the nose"

ENGLISH SYMPATHY FOR GENERAL LEE
INyoKED-A recent number Of the London
Times contains a letter from s. D. Stuart,
who announces himself as commissioned to
raise funds for the Lee Endowment for Wash
ington College, Virginia " General Lee, he
states knows nothing Of this appeal. The Col
lege library and apparatus, it is estimated,
was destroyed or carried off in the Federal
occupation Of Lexington; and the sum of
ESQ 600 is required to repair the ravages of
war and provide a proper salary for the new
President One-third Of the sum has been
raised in America, another third is expected
this fall and for the rest (910, 000)h he APP
peals to English liberality, relying on "the
sincere admiration felt for the high qualities
of Robert E. Lee by English people"

IMPORTANT TO HOLDERS OF VIRGINIA
BONDS Holders of Virginia State Stock, or
Coupon Bonds of the State, should bear in
mind that unless they fund the interest due
1st January, 1865, before the succeeding lst
january, they will lose twelve months inter-
est on the interest so due--for under thela late
act of the General Assembly, there are only
two periods in which they can fund; 1st Jan
nary, 1866. and 1st January, 1867; and
bonds taken after either of those days are
dated on and bear interest from those dates

has been ascertained that the Presidend ex-.
pressed strong desire to visit the leading
Southern cities, and if it IS at all practicable
the trip will be made early in the ensuing

PLATE RESTORED TO A SOUTHERN CHURCH.
The Missionary Bishop of Arkansas makes
the following acknowledgment of becoming
act on the part of Clergyman of Western
New York, and number of his friends:
During the war, the church at Van Buren,
was robbed Of a valuable communion service,
1t was the gift of friends in New Orleans,
and l believe the only silver service in the
State. 1t was supposed to be in Kansas,
and 1 have been engaged.in correspondence,
prosecuting inquiries in that quarter. Uu-
expectedly, however, | have received letter
from the Rev. Mr. Franklin, of Mt. Morris.
New York, informing me that he had found
the plate in question in the hands of dis
charged soldier. With the assistance of
some kind friends he bought it, paying for it
its estimated value at ''old silver" sos.
10 day have received the express receipt
for it, aud thus the communion vessels are
returned to the parish free of all cost and
charges. In the name of the Pensioners,
and in my own behalf, | tender to Mr..
Franklin and his coadjutors my slncerest
thanks. They have done an act Of kindness
very grateful to the hearts of Southern
Churchnen and thus may it ever be.
May the Church still bind up the wounds
which man in his violence has made, and out
of her bounty restore that which man, in his
seltishness, has taken away. -1i RI

A SOLDIERS TRIBUTE TO HIS FALLEN Foe.
!" NJ. G. d." who publishes in the Hunts
vile Independent the e Memoirs of the Nine
teenth Alabama gives the following rela-
ton of the 2Sth Of July, 1864:
So fatal was the charge the regiment made
that seven color bearers were shot down in
succession; the last seeing the flag about to
fall from the crushed arm that bore it, seized
theFhattered staff, and waving it far in adj
vance, planted it upon the enemy's breast
works just as the death-wound struck him
ere the regiment could follow him, overwhel-
ming numbers forced them to fall back, and
the colors remained in the hands Of the enc
my. But it is. gratifying to know that such
peerless courage was appreciated even by the
foe; for two months later, when the regi-
ment again passed the spot, neat looking

lowing inscription on its head board, marked
the resting place;

ErFEcTs OF CLEANLINESS. With what
care and attention do the featherd race wash
themselves and put their plumage in order,
And how perfectly neat, clean, and elegant
do they appear. Among the beasts Of the field,
we find that those which are the most clearly,
and generally the most gay and cheerful, or
distinguished by a certain air of tranquility
and contentment; and singing birds are al
ways remarkable for the neatness of their plu
mage. So great is the effect Of cleanliness on
man. that it extends even to his moral
character. Virtue never dwelt long with filth

THE PRosPECT IN INDIANA.-The we'll
Informed editor Of the indianapolis Herald
says that, after careful survey of the whole
ground, he is satisfied that a Democratic sue
cess in that State at the coming election is
one Of the fixed facts. He adds:
Nothing can arise in the ordinary course
of events can prevent this In 1864 the
majority for Morton was less than twenty
thousand in the State. A few days since we
demonstrated to our satisfaction-and we
think to the satisfaction of ever unbiased
reader-that in twelve counties, only, of the
State, over twelve thousand of that majority
was made up Of illegal votes cast, or at least
counted. Now, we do not for moment sup
pose that this thing can be, or ought to be,
repeated. There is no Massachusetts regi
iment, to whom high functionary can make
a speech on the Sabbath preceding the cleo
ton, urging upon them to vote, and having
them to vote, ajust,as often as they wanted
and then to distribute them to Hendricks,
Hamilton and Decatur, to repeat the same
game. We are in a position to expect aud
demand fair election. More than that, the
soldiers are now all at home, and will vote
as becomes independent freemen. At the
election in 1864, such only were furlougbed
as would, OF the officers thought would, vote
against u.s. This will make material change
in our favor. Then, again, the political
changes have been for the past year steadily
for us--none against us. Louisville Demo-

Southern Feeling as to Northern Dead.

war, who is running as a Democratic candi
date for Congress in the Coshocton district,
against Columbus Delano. recently made the
following statement in a speech there:
x < * The people Of the South have

North the hand of reconciliation 70 sus-
tain what say could narrate many facts,
but will mention but one t9
In order to secure suitable cemetery for
our gallant soldiers who fell upon the plains
of Alabama, the authorities of the United
States desired to purchase three acres beau
tifuliy located within the corporate limits of
the city Of Mobile. The tract was valuable,
but the purpose was sacred to which it was
to be dedicated. 1t was proposed to make
three acres the honored home of the Union
dead, and there within the corporate limits of
Mobile, to erect monument to commence
rate their deeds But the authorities of Mo-
bile refused to sell What! refused to sell
sufficient ground to contain the bones of our
absent ones-our fathers, brothers, sons p
Yes, my countrymen, these Southern men
did refuse to sell sufficient ground on which
to bury our heroic dead-but with magma
nimity only equalled by their courage, those
Southern men did by free gift convey those
three acres to the United States! And the
hand Of the Mayor of Mobile-the hand
which signed that deed Of gift--had, during
our unhappy war, welded the sword ola Con-
federate General Applause.

Didn't Like Fighting.

It was always clear to the southern mind
that the negro had no desire to fight on either
|. side, whether for, or against his liberty. and
this fact is somewhat strikingly illustrated in
| the following anecdote, related by the iSagan-
nah Ne,rs and Herald, which was given by
Fa faithful Virginia servant Of an officer in the
Confederate army. Shortly after the news
had. reached the camp in North Carolina that
the Confederate Government contemplated
putting the blacks into the service, the sub
ject was frequently discussed among the ne
groes around the camp fires:
Is you gwine to list, Thornton p asked
aaspirited darkey of staid old fellow, who
had followed his master through the war
"sNo.'' replied Thornton, g don't want
muffin to do with fghtin. Niger got no
business with musket."
But, inquired the other, who pretend
ed to favor the idea, 6 amt you willn to help
to lick the nasty, sinking yankees, what our
folks make trabel so fast. Amt you gin

II g Yes I is posed to them, but de way to
help to whip dem varmints, is for de niger
to use de hoe. He knows what to do wild
dat, but don't wild de musket Pr .ga
Eth, Thornton, you don't want to fight
nobody"
OATS de fact-what niger got fight bout ?
De white men, de yankees and 'federates, is
two dogs tighten for bone. Niger is de
bone. You see dogs fight for bone, but
neber see de bone fight
"Dat's de fact" said the other, 'den if
de bone don't he gifts mighty bad chaued
sometimes" A3 80 @'a
