SINGULAR SUNDAY OPERATIoN.-A writer
on the subject of " Benevolent Blunders, "
in Good Words, gives the following account
of some obstacles in the way of a religious
life which will be likely to strike most read
ers as novel:
A lady had gone to visit a young couple of
the better class of the poor. They had as
vet no children, and the husband being a
stoker on a railway, they were above the
reach of want. Under these circumstances
it seemed to the visitor that they might have
attended to their religious duties at least to
the extent of going to church on Sundays,
and she ventured to intimate as much to the
young woman who was standing rather idly
at her door. "Will you please walk in till
| show you something's was the woman's
answer and she conducted her visitor into
the little kitchen where her husband sat by
the fire.
He had Just come home for half an hour
to have his tea, and was watching the kettle
with the most absorbing interest. He was,
of course, in his working clothes, and his
face and hands were of deep oily black,
after the manner of stokers. - Now,
ma 'am,' said the woman, pointing to him,
" you see that there man ; that my husband
and I'm bound to do my part by him, amt
II" Surely" said the blunderer, anxious
to uphold the duties of matrimonv. Very
well, then; would you like to know how l
pass my Sundays? A washing Of he =
Never a blessed moment has he to wash
himself through the week, out early and late,
and half the night too, and blacker nor any

fitting and proper he should try to look like
a Christian if be can. so be sets me to it
after we eats our breakfast, with a bucket

RATHER an amusing story is going round
of a verdant youth who recently came down
from Castletin to Strabane on some business,
and who. in returning again to the station
found he was almost in time to be too late.
He hurried up to the gate at full speed, but
it was to hear the fatal signal given, and to
see the train passing quietly off at an
increasing speed. With face full of excite
ment, and as much authority as he was
capable of commanding he shouted to the
guard at the top of his voice, {" Stop, for Lord
Lifor's coming!" 1t acted like magic, the
obsequious guard Immediately signalled, the
speed was slackened, the train was stopped,
moved back, and took its place by the plat
form to await his Lordship's arrival Mean
while the very anxious herald secured his
ticket and with very great composure took
his seat in third class carriage. Then,
putting his head out at the window, be
informed the obliging guard that his Lord
ship had entered, and that be might move
on. He was obeyed.

St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Sore Eyes

From Harrey Sickier, Esq, the able editor Of the
7Unkh0HHOcL Democrat, Pennsylvania.
Our only child, about three years of age, was
attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed loathsomc and virulent
sore, which covered his face, and actually blinded
his eyes for some days \ ski1ul physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days guarded his
hands, lest with them he should tear open the fcs
tcring and corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every thing else we had any
and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you
direct. The sore began to heal when we had given
the first bottle, and well when had finished
the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come
out, grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair
any other. The whole neighborhood predicted
that the child must die.''

The Confscation business.

There are thousands OF active members
IN the Radical ranks-some Of them Cap
gtains or leaders--who aHect opposition to
the threatened scheme Of TuAD. STEVENS
70 cohfiscate the lands Of nnpardoned reb-
els and divide them out, In small measures
to negroes. Were they to look little near
eT home, end give to heDtselvss a personal
investigation, they would probably not fail
20 discover that the confscation proposed
by STEVENS, is only tythe as wicked, as
desolating as their o,ca policy is Sc
curing
"what difference does Il make" asks the
World--and let these quasi opponents OF
STEVENS crochet answer--what difference,
whether you rob men Of property In actual
possession or intercept and destroy their
income1 To blight their fields Is even a
greater injury than to rob their granaries
for the property nlohed In the one case
may be OF some advantage to others, while
the prevention Of production does not en-
rich the spOiler aud makes the sufferer poor
indeed. II the full measure of connscatlon
which Mr.. STEVENS demands had been con-
summated two years ago, and the Southern
people had been then permitted TO freely
use their natural advantages of recupera-
ton, that section would be far richer than
II is to-day.
The Radical party has, virtually confs-
Gated and destroyed all the Southern
wealth Of which IL has prevented the cre-
alton. By keeping the South unsettled,
and all its prospects uncertain, the Repub-
lican party has prevented its borrowing the
capital necessary to the revival of Southern
prosperity, has arrested enterprise, fettered
industry, and inflicted evils In comparison
with which Mr.. STEVENS scheme of con-
iscation would be Il bagatelle. If his poll

whole party is so on the same grounds and
to "A much higher degree.
More than this while they are crusadng
for the conhscation of the prosperity and
all the material interests of the South, is
not their policy producing a like blightlng
effect upon the West and North? The pro-
higate expenditures, compelled by Con-
gressonal action, forcing upon the shoul
ders of the people an additional weight to
the already crushing burthen; the general
decline in business, all over the country !;
the failure of banks and business houses !;
the suspension of many manufactures and
the half-time of others; the heavy falling
oil of public revenues, the result of all
these adverse influences; in the namo of
common sense, what is it all, but another
name for coRdscatioal 1t is the same char
ncter of ruin, now being forced upon the
South, by all Radcaldom, which they are
now grinding the North with. While the
measures are different, as sectionally ap-
piled. the results are the same.
