THE TRUE STANDARD OF DRESS,

we are always excessive when we sacrifice
the higher beauty to attain the lower one.
A woman who viii sacrifice domestic affec-
ton, conscience, self respect, honor. to love
of dress, we all agree, loves dress too much.
She losses the true and higher beauty of
womanhood for the lower beauty of gems
and flowers and colors. A girl who sacri-
fees to dress all her time, all her strength,
all her money, TO the neglect of the cultiva-
tion of her mind and heart and to the nep-
lect of the claims of Others on her helpfuI-
ness, is sacrificing the higher to the lower
beauty. Her fault is not the love of beauty
but loving the wrong and inferior kind.
In fine, girls, you may try yourselves by
this standard You love dress too much
when you care more for your outward adorn-
ings than for your inward dispositions, when
it atfiicts you more to have torn your dress
than to have lost your temper-when you
than By neglected duty-when you are less
concerned at having made an unjust com
ment, or spread a scandalous report, than
at having worn a pdSsee bonnet-when you
are less troubled at the thought of being
found at the last great feast without the
wedding garment than at being found atthe
party tonight in the fashion of last year
No Christian woman, as | view it ought to
give such attention to her dress as to allow
it to take up all of three very important
things, viz: all her time, al her strength,
all her money Whoever does this lives
not the Christian but the Pagan life-wor-
ships not at the Christian altar Of our
Lord Jesus, but at the shrine of the lower
Venus Of fCorinth and Rome - Mrs Stowe.

THE STORY OF A DAY.

A soldier slept, as the morning unrolled
Der the white tents pitch d on the pleas
ant plains
The bayonets CLEAN was the CLEAN of gold,
Where sunlight poured on the height and the
world
And the fields of yellow grain.
Then the soldier arose, when hisrestwas done
And he merrily sang in his joyous glee;
He sharpened his sword and he frightened
his gun,
And he smiled as he thought of the laurels
won,
That yet on his brow would be,
The couriers rode when the noontide came,
Aud told of grim lines advancing fast
So the camp was filed with wild acclaim,
And the soldier heart was kindled with fame,
And the hurrying squadron passed.
But the glen full soon was the place of blood,
With the Missing of shot and the claug of
steel;
And men lay dabbled and stained in the wood
Tho the soldiers comrades in yalor stood,
Till they made the foemen reel.
When the night came down the horses were
strewn
And the soft dews fell on the face of the
dead
But the soldiers song had changed TO moan
As faint dpale, where the sad moon shone,
He lay with his bleeding head.
'Tis morning again on the tents and the spears
But the soldiers voice is forever still
There's form that's missed from the cava-
liers,
There's sweet face blurred with bitter
tears
There a nameless grave on the hill.

A Copperhcad Surrender

A Copperhead Surrender
The following acknowledgement of the
triumphant vindication of the Union Party
on the Reconstruction question, by the pas
sage of the late amendment, and the utter
hopelessness of the cause Of the Copperhead-
johnson hybrid, is from the New York Her
aid of June 18th
THE RECONSTRUCTION ADJUsTMEST-oUR FOR
EIGN POLICY THE CARD FOR PRESIDENT
JOHNSON.
The proposed amendment of the federal
constitution, providing for the reconstruction
and restoration of the lately rebellions States,
will doubtless pass the House OF Representa-
tives in the form adopted by the Senate. In
this form, therefore, it win be submitted to
the States for their ratifcations. Whether it
will succeed or fail in securing the required
endorsements of three -fourths OF all heStates
or even of the States represented in Congress,
is question which will remain tor the legis-
latures of the several States to determine.
With the transfer of the whole subject to the
States, however, Congress and the admins,
tration, at least for the remainder of this year
will be relieved of their reconstruction labors.
This Congressional proposition for the
amendment of the constitution, meantime, as
modified by the Senate, is an ingeniously
contrived party platform for the coming tall
elections 1t proposes to make 1t part OF the
supreme law of the land that whites and
blacks born or naturalized in the United
States are citizens of the Union and OF the
State in which they may reside, and shall
have equality under the law; that represen-
tation in Congress shall be regulated by the
restrictions of the several States in the mat
ter of voting; that large schedule OF men,
who, as former officials under the govern
ment of the United States, have been guilty
of violating their oaths by joining IN reneliioni
shall hereafter be excluded from all leaerai
offices, unless absolved by a two.thirds vote
Of each house of Congress; that the national
debt and the bounties and pensions OF Union
soldiers shall be held sacred and that ali reb-
el debts and all claims for losses of slaves by
the late war shall be utterly repudiated. II IL
is further proposed in a supplemental Dill
that the now excluded States respectively, on
accepting aud ratifying the condition laid
down, shall not only be readmitted into Con
gress. but shall have O credit of ten years In
reference to their quota of the national debt
This is, we say, strong platform upon
which to 60 before the people of the Nor
thern States. There is nothing here obnox-
ious to public opinion in the way OF negro
suffrage, while the alternative suggested wall
be satisfactory to the North. There are no
vindictiye penalties here against rebels ana
traitors, but conditional exclusions, Whieh
cannot be resisted successfully before ~ Lne

0 pride of the days in prime of the months
Now trebled in great renown,
When before the ark of our holy cause
Fell Dagon down
Dagon forsdoomed, who, armed and targed,
Never his impious heart enlarged
Beyond that hour; God walled his power,
And there the last invader charged.
He charged, and in that charge condensed
His all of hate and all of FIRE;
He sought to blast us in his seorn,
And wither us in his ire.
Before him went the Shrek Of shells
Aerial screaming, taunts, and yells;
Then the three waves in flashed advance
Surged, but were met, and back they set:
Pride was repelled by sterner pride,
And Right is stronghold yet.
Before our lines it seemed beach
Which wild September gales have strown
With havoc on wreck, and dashed Herewith
Pale crews unknown
Men, arms, and steeds. The evening sun
Died on the face of each lifeless one,
And died along the winding marge of fight
And searching parties lone.
Sloped on the hill the mounds were green,
Our centre held that place of graves,
And some still hold it in their swoon,
And over these a glory waves
The warrior-monument, crashed in fight,
Shall soar transfgured in loftier light,
A meaning smpler bear;
Soldier and priest with hymn and prayer
Have laid the stone. and every bone
Shall rest in honor there.

A Dutchman in Pennsylvania leased his
lands to an oil company in Pennsylvania
last spring, on condition of receiving one
eighth of the oil procured. The we'll pro-
vedto be pretty good one, and the Dutch
farmer began to think that the oil men
should give him better chance, and ven
tured to tell them SO. They asked him
what he wanted. He said they ought to
give him one twelfth. The agreement was
finally made, with the understanding that
the Dutchman was not to tell any one.
All went smooth until the next division
day came, when our friend was early on
hand to see how much better he would be
off under the new bargain. Eleven barrels
were rolled to one side for the oil men, and
one for him. This did not suit him.

EASTERN ORIGIN OF MODERN
UTILITITIES.


The following extract from Diapers last
work, Civil Policy in America, shows the
Eastern origin Of much that is useful and
admirable In the times of which history
has failed to preserve any account, that con-
tinent Asia must have been the scene of
prodigious activity. In it were first deyel-
oped those fundamental inventions and dis
coveries which really lie at the basis of the
progress of the human race-the subiuga-
ton of domestic animals, the management
of fire, the expression Of thought by wri-
ting We are apt to overlook how much
man must have done; how much he must
have added to his power in pre- historic
times We forget how many contribution
TO our comforts are of Oriental origin.
Their commonness hides them from our
view
IF the European wishes to know how
much he owes to the Asiatic, he has only to
cast glance at one hour of his daily life.
TIE clock which summons him from bed in
the morning, was the invention of the East
as were also elepsy dTas and sundials. The
prayer for his daily bread, that be has said
from infancy, first rose from the side Of the
Syrian mountain The linens and cottous
with which he clothes himself, though they
may be very fine, are inferior to those that
have been made, from time immemorial, in
the looms of India, The silk was stolen by
some missionaries, for his benefit, from
China. He could buy better steel than that
with which he shaves himself in the city of
Damascus, where it was first invented.
Th, coffee he expects for breakfast was
first grown by the Arabians, and the
natives of upper India prepared the sugar
with which he sweetens it. a schoolboy
