LITTLE wives if ever A ha.f suppressed sigh
finds place with you, or a half unloving word
escapes you to the husband whom you love,
let your heart go back to some tender word in
those first love days; remember how you loved
him then, how tenderly he woed you, how tim
idly you responded, and fyou can feel that you
have not grown unworthy, trust him for the
same good love now. If you do feel sometimes
less loveable aud attractive than you then were,
turn--by all that you love on earth, or hope for
in heaven-turn back and be the pattern of love-
illness that won him; be the "dear one your
attractions made you then. Be the gentle, loy>
ing, winning maiden still and doubt not, the
lover you admired will live forever in your hus,
band. Nestle by his side, cling to his love, and
let his confidence in you never fail and my
word for it, the husband will be dearer than the
lover ever was. Above all things, do not for
get the love he gave you first. Do not seek 10
"emancipate" yOurself-do not strive to unsex
yourself, and become Lucy Stone, a Rev,

by our Saviour of old-that of loving wife

the people Of the United States are taxed heavi-

Butthe figures given do not show the full amount
OF taxation, to which we are subjected Our
taxes, direct and indirect, for State, City, and
County purposes, are, in the aggregate, about as

THE REBEL DEFENsEs IN CHARLESTON HARBoR
Fort Moultre is ruin. The walls still stand,
but the barracks are gone. 1t is now occupied
by company of colored troops. Down the
beach is Fort Beauregard, with no guns, howev-
er, grnning de6nance across the bay. Between
the two forts stands group of ragged palmet-
tos their bark SCARED with many a mark of
shell and bullet. Sumter, against whose face
had been hurled the iron rain from floating and
stationary batteries still stands, its brick wall
facing toward the city almost untouched. The
front wall is an inclined plane, some thirty FIVE
feet in height. Its interior resembles the dry
bed of a lake, and it is not until you have des
scended and entered the casemates that you per-
ceive where its immense strength lay. A small
wooden light house now stands the portion
facing the sea, and it is said indicates the spot
where a turrpted iron clad fortress is to be cree,
ted. A walk around the battered wall, glimpse
of a squad of colored soldiers, and an examina'
ton of the classmates and you have seen all
there is Of Sumter. Morris Island shows more
traces of the fight than any other portion of the
harbor Notifications. A few guns are still point
ed toward the city. Haversacks. knapsacks,
and camp equipage, are strewn along the beach.
Battery Wagner appears to be nothing more than
an open earthwork, with no protection for The
gunners. Shells, if properly aimed, could have
fallen anywhere. The fort now consists of
two high sand walls running parallel, and is
garrisoned by squad of cOlored troops. On
the extreme end Vinegar Hill has disappeared,
and the light house is thing of the past. Just
beyond Lighthouse Iulet is Folly Island, where
General Gilmore planted his masked battery,
mounted the "Swamp Angel" which threw
shells Into the city, and gained march on his
antagonists which was never recovered.

Was there ever more disgraceful exhit than
this of the use of political position for private
ends p The surveyorship of Colorado, "the best

Ashley, made a mater of bargain and sale,
stipulated in writing. Its legitimate patronage
was farmed out in advance as the price OF OBJ
tanning it, and an arrangement Tes catered into
by which the chief solicitor and the recipient
were to corrupriy use its power in city and town
lot speculations. 81, ," said Mr.. Ashley, will
be chairman of the Committee on Ter

proposed expenditures in the Territories and

and now it would be interesting to know how
much plumber the immaculate Representative
Ashley has pocketed from this corrupt and scan
dalous use OF the power Of his official position.

A WISE CHILD WHO DID KNOW HIS OWN FAITHS
Err Considerable amusementwss created among
some of the railroad boys few days ago, by a
circumstance which occurred'on one Of the night
trains into this city. The affair is supposed to
have leaked out through the porter of the sleep,
ing car. lady, with little boy, aged, per-
hans. three wears, was on a journey eastward,
and had taken a birth in a sleeping car. Toward
morning the child awoke, and raising up, saw a
man in the berth where be was sleeping, and
becoming alarmed, called to his mother, who
whispered to him, "Be still my child, its only
pa :" The child took another look at the stran-
ger, and then, in an excited tone, exclaimed;
"You amt my pal" E
Again the woman told the child to keep still
The man also called the child by name, and
asked him if be did not know his pa. The boy
replied.
''You amt my pa: he hain't got whiskers.
What are you here for ~
ayes, lam your pa.
"Noyou ain't; my pa is in Joliet; amt he,
mar"
The woman found matters approaching cri.
sis, and taking hold of the child, compelled it to
lay down, and the man got up. The noise had
awakened several passengers, who cast many
sidelong, eontemptous glauce at the corner
where fine divided family were Situated, but they
could do nothing with the train moving at the
rate oftwenty-fve miles an hour. In due time
the train arrived, and the passengers, with the
exception of the family" alluded to, changed
cars, but ihe man and woman did not leave un-
iii the car had been emptied of its cargo, and
then they sneaked off up townto await the de-
parture of the day train, on which there were
none of their late Blade.

TURKISH PRovERBs.-A small stone often makes
a great noise. foolish friend is, at times, a
greater annoyance than a wise enemy. You'll
not sweeten your outh by saying "honey" If
a man would live in peace lie should be blind,
deaf and dumb. Do good and throw it into
the sea, if the fish know it not, the Lord will.
Who fears God need not fear man. If thy foe
be as small az a guat, fancy him as large as an
elephant. A man who weeps for every one will
soon have lost his eyesight. More is learned
from conversation than from books. friend
is of more worth than kinsman. He rides sell
dom who never rides any but a borrowed horse.
Trust to the ,hteness of his turban who bought
the soap on credit. Death is a black camel, that
kneels before every mans door.

The landlord said "he was sorry he could not

temperance house." 1t was late SO the Judge
could not go on that night, but told the lands
lord he would leave early the next morning be-
fore breakfast. "Very well will carry your
valise and show you 10 your ROOM The Judge
was taken to a fine room the landlord said, 81
hope you will be comfortable" There was an
open stove in the room, where Judge O. found
bottle Of brandy He then went to his wash
stand and opened it he found bottle of gin '
waters glasses, etc. The Judge after helping
himself, went down and told the landlord be
would not leave early. After breakfast the
next morning. Judge G. paid his bill, and said
to the landlord, "I have been a great opposer
OF temperance houses,' and always refuse to
stop at one, but like the hang of yours, and
will call whenever come this way" The land
lord said, 81 am sorry could not let you have
some gin last evening but the law is SO strict
and my neighbors keep close watch, SO -Itsm
