A Practical Joke.

Out West there lived two young fellows
who painted signs for livelihood One Of
the painters had once some outdoor business
to attend to, and left the shop in charge of
his partner, and a boy employed to grind
paints. During his absence, the partner. to
crafty whim, painted the boy SO as to rep.
resent large cash upon his forehead. and a
cut ouer the eye. lie bespattered the floor
with red paint, clotted the boys hair, and
made him lie down in a corner, after which
he painted great cash on his own cheek.
barred his bosom, disordered his dress. dipped
long bladed knife in the red paint-pot. and
awaited the coming of his partner. Directly
afterwards he heard him at the door, and then
the performance commenced. The partner
looked IN at the door, and saw the boy PROS
trate on the floor, groaning and crying mur-
der; chairs, tables, benches, jug,, and paint
pots being strewed round the room in dire
confusion, while the murderous- looking part
ner, with the red knife in his uplifted hand,
was running through the room uttering wild
and incOherent expressions. 1t was evident
to the partner at the door, that his partner
had killed the boy. Swift as lightning he
fed TO obtain assistance, and number of
friends were speedily mustered, and repaired
to the scene Of the supposed terrible tragedy.
The crowd augmented as il neared the shop,
and in walked the whole posse; but in the
meantime everything had been set to rights;
the boy was without mark of any kind, the
room in perfect order, no marks Of blood per-
ceptible; and the man, who was engaged in
letteringa a sign, declared his utter Ignorance
Of what his partner alleged to have occurred.
The company left, limiting to one another.

Radicals, } and givingit to those to whom it
never did belong. l suppose they will cry
out, you cannot hold property in a vote, like
the other falsehoOd or error, you cannot hold
property in man, and it will return to plague
both the giver and the receiver. 1t frequent
ly happens that sword is given by which
both the giver aud the receiver is wounded.
President johnson in his address in North
Carolina, repeated phrase that has been re-
peated so often by the devil, that President
johnson, aud many that are like him, actual
ly believe it. In speaking of the friends and
associates of his childhood, he mentioned
that some had gone to shat undiscovered
country from whence no traveller returns"
presume that President johnson has read
history, and the notable fact which is as well
attested as any other fact of history, and
which L am going to mention, no doubt did
not occur to him. In the days of the Ro>
man Empire there lived in Judea, man by
the name of Jesus Christ, who taught people
how they ought to conduct themselves in this
world, or country, SO that they might attain
to "that undiscovered country" He was ex-
ecuted after the fashion of the Romans, was
buried, got up'Out of his grave, went to THAT
undiscovered country" (sO-called,) } came back
to this world; or country, was seen by many,
and gave description of that country. 1t
is possible that President johnson has seen
that description. However, 1 will repeat it.
In that country there is no death, nor sorrow,
nor crying, nor pain, nor joking neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh
lie. There is there ''a pure river of water
of life, clear as crystal proceeding out of the
throne of God and of. the Lamb; in the
midst of the street of it, and on either side
of the river was there the tree of life, which
bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielding
her fruit every month, and the leaves of the
tree were for the healing of the nations. And
there shall be no more curse, but the throne
of God and the Lamb shall be in it and His
servants shall serve him. And they shall
see his face, and his name shall be in their
toreheads. And there shall be no night
there, and they need no candle, neither light
of the Sun, for the Lord God giveth them
light, and they shall reign forever and ever"

I" Is Thy Servant a Dog,D &c.

We fully agree with the Richmond Exam
iHer, that the :" basest and most disreputable
Of all the foul acts of the Radicals is the
effort which they have recently made to dis
grace, and forever dishonOr, the members of
that proud aud great political organization,
Tie Wig Party Of the SOuth.
In the open and insulting overtures which
they have made to that party, there is an i'm
piled doubt that it is less true to the South
and less inclined to resent the wrongs in-
ficted upon us by the Radicals, than is con-
sistent with honor and duty.
This indignity to the members of n party
which always contained many of the ablcst
aud most chiva!ric gentlemen of the South,
has been Indignantly resented, except in a
few instances, which we deplOre from the re-
proach which they will bring upon Virginia
and her people.
The Radical temptcrs. who are seeking to
dishonor the late Wing party, are artfully ap-
pealing to old and forgotten prejudices.-
They are tearing open wounds which had
healed, and weakening the South by endeav-
Uring to ALLEVIATE men who were for four years
united in the defence of the State from an
invasion to which the radical influences at
Washington gave, as far as they were able,
universal severity and harshness."

thy of being preserved in the record of the
past, we forbid the bans! Wed not the two

Senator Wilson on Confscation.


Senator Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts,,
in a letter to Mr.. VIM. T. Early, of Char
lOttesville, Virginia, in reply to a question as
to what is necessary on the part of the people
of the South to avert confscation from them
selves, says:
" Nothing will be done for revenge. but
everything for the enduring peace of the
country. Nothing can bring confscation
upon the people of the rebel States tbut the
persistent folly and madness of masses of their
people, aud cannot believe that the body of
their people will, by their future action, bring
conhscation upon themselves. l will suggest,
my dear sir, a sure way for your people to
avert from themselves confscatiOn, remove
disabilities, restore law, order. peace and in
dividual and national prosperity and happi-
ness. Let them abandon at once and forever
the ideas, principles and policies of their
lost cause !; strive to conquer the preiudices
hates and passions engendered by their re-
bellion and the conflict they inaugurated.-
Let them accept the results of the nations
victory-the unity of the States; the perpe-
tuity OF the Republic; the emancipation, en-
frauchisement and citizenship of their bond
men, their equality of rights aud privileges.
Let them do this in spirit as we'll as in form.
Let them establish schools for the education
of both races. Let them encourage the freed
men to be thrifty and temperate, to get home
steads and to engage in industries in varied
FORMS"

Sharp Talk.

In the House of Representatives, on Sat-
urday week, when the bill was up. making an
appropriation Of Sl,675, 600, to pay the ex-
penses Of Congressional Reconstruction. Mr..
Eldridge spoke about the extrayagances of
District Commanders, alluding to General
Sickles as greater harlequin than the COM
mander at New Orleans, and sent to the
Clerks desk and had read an extract from
the New York Commercial Adrertiser, speak
ing Of the display made by General Sickles
i'll riding around Charleston in a coach and
four.
Mr.. Bingham replied that it seemed to him
fitting that n man who had lost his leg in the
defence of his Government should be allowed
to ride in a coach and four. [Applause7
Mr.. Eldridge wanted to know whether it
required more horses to draw q man with one
leg than man with two. Laughter
Mr. Schenck insinuated that certain gen.
tlemen had made their way TO Canada during
the war without any horses at all.
Mr. Eldridge retOrted that the gentleman
from Ohio MIR. Schenck) had made charge
in America which, if he had continued. would
have carried him to Canada.
Mr. Schenck declared that that was an old
lie, which had been exploded in the teeth of
liars.
Mr.. Eldridge said he knew that the topic
would make the gentleman (NIr. Schenck) }
get nervous.
Mr.. Schenck repeated that it was an old
he. which had been put down long since.
Mr.. Eldridge remarked that he knew the
gentleman had cOntradicted it, but the people
repeated it.

STORY WITH A MORAL.-When General
jackson was moving on to strike McClellen's
flank on the eChickahominy, he came to stream
which had no bridge, and could not be cross.
ed without one. The General had brought
with him from the Valley a rough, unednca-
ted man, full Of energy, who had served him
in emergencies,a and in whom he had the utmost
confidence. He called this man. told him
that stream must be brid ged Immediately; the
regular engineers were also advised of The
fact. In short time the rough carpenter
and the polished men of science were at the
stream the former had his plan, the latter
theirs; he wished to go at the work at once
without drawings, but they objected until
they could perfect the plans on paper. The
engineers retired TO their tent to perfect
paper bridge; the carpenter took his men
and went to work at once to make real one.
In a very short time he appeared at the Gen
erals tent, and reported briefly thus: Gen
cra that bridge Is done, but them pictures
amt come yet" This story has moral that
