The Three-Fifth Rule.

The origin of the three ffths law
was the resultof a compromise be-
tween the Southern and Northern
States, and as was always the ease
i'm every compromise between
the South and North, the South
was the loser. The three-ffths
ruh was considered by the South
as a concession, at the time, to
Northern aggressiveness, and if our
reading of the history of the early
days of our government be correct,
Mr.. Madison-the great apostle of
constitutional justice, SO expressed
himself. The proposition of two
thirds had been negatived, when
in the spirit of compromise, Mr..
Madison proposed two-ffths, which
was agreed to. That it was libe-
raj concession on the part of the
slave owners of the South was GER
tainly true, because considered as
the wealthy class of our section of
the Union, the burden of taxation
was greater upon them than upon
the same class in the North.
The per capita tax was alike in
Its effect upon the poorer class,
whether North or South. Allu-
ding to this, a correspondent of
the New York Record says:
IF the tax were one dollar per
] head it was the same to the poor
person in the North and the South,
for each would pay the dollar; but
not so with the wealthy man. If
he were a princely merchant in
the North, and owned no slaves,
he paid the dollar on each person
Of his family, if he had SUCH
But how was it with the opulent
Iplanter in the South. His wealth
constituted in large part of
( slaves, on every five of them he
would pay three dollars, besides
the dollar On himself and each one
of his family. 1t is plainly seen
why that compromise was held in
the light of concession on the part
Of the Southern States. Do those
people in the North whose aspic
tongues areever ready to Willy the
Southerners, have a thought of
those early days when the IA
theirs. Of these Southerners shed
their blood and expended their
wealth with generous prodigality
in the common cause Of indepen-
dence? No! if they have such a
thought, they are not honest
enough to acknowledge it. They
are too base in their hatred of
those brave and heightened people
to give utterance to an honest as
Ipiration.
The three-ffths rule, in it's orr
lgin, had no reference to represen-
tation; it pertained only as fea-
ture of the mode of proportioning
requisition for funds upon the
States.

ed Slaves.

The Commission on Compensa-
ton fop enlisted Slaves have issued
the following instructions for the
compensation for slaves who en-
listed i'll the United States army:

listment of the slave.
8. Executors, guardians and
trusteesmus file with claims made

ties.
4. Claimants will be required

5. Parties claiming compensa.
ton for more than one servant, en-

must set forth that he did not &C
quire said slave subsequent to en-
listment, but had a valid title tc
his services at the date of said en-
listment, and previous thereto.
Z. The claimants active loyalty
during the war must be establish
ed. Besides the oath of the ap
plicant ION prescribed FORM the
oath of two loyal men is required

ant. Said loyal men should be
men Of known loyalty, and if pos
sible, known to some member of
the Board of Commissioners.
s. In case of heirs, when the
heirs are above fourteen years of
age, the oath and proof of loyalty
of each is required.
If the father or mother has
died since the commencement of
the war, and the heirs are minors,
the guardian must depose that the
deceased up to the time of his or

same by two loyal witnesses.

A Novel LOVc.StOry.

young couple, the girl the daughter of
one of our wealthy citizens, the youngman
poor but honest met and "fell in love"
The parents doated upon their pretty and
accomplished daughter, and discountenan-
ced the visits of the young nah. Meetings
were planned, and finally an elopement
was agreed upon. All this was kept a
profound secret, as it was supposed, from
the parents.
The night and the hour came. Quietly,
noiselessly, the young Miss descended a
ladder improvised for the occasion, and Il Q
twain were making their exit from the gate,
when they were suddenly. surrounded by
two men, one the father of the lady, the
other stranger, and captured them. They
were taken, half willingly, half reluctantly,
into the house and the parlor. The stran-
ger threw off his mask and discovered to
the couple minister; the father produced
q marriage license-simultaneous the
mother and brothers and sisters made their
appearance, and the couple were immedi-
ately married, with the blessings of all pres
ent.
The parents were apprised of the whole
proceedings, and seeing the mutual love of
the two, resolved to let love take its course,
while their good sense made a happy de
,iouenlent of what might otherwise have
been serious and unfortunate affair for
life. God will bless those noble hearted
parents. The son-in-law was doing as
well as could be expected at last accounts,
under the circumstances, and peace and
happiness smiled on the whole family

Husbands and Their wives.

Some husbands never leave home in the
morning without kissing their wives and
bidding them goodbye" in the tones of
unwearied love; and whether it be policy
or fact, il has the effect of fact, and those
homes are generally pleasant ones, provi-
ding always that the wives are appreciative,
and welcome the discipline in kindly
spirit. We know an old gentleman who
lived with his wife over fifty years, and
never left home without the kiss aud "good-
bye, dear" Some husbands, before leaving
home, ask very tenderly, what would you
like for dinner my dear?" knowing all the
while that she will select something for
his particular palate, and Off he goes. Some
husbands will leave home without saving
anything at all, but thinking good deal, as
evinced by their turning around at the last
point of observation, and waving adieu at
the pleasant face or faces at the window
Some husbands never say word, rising
from the breakfast table with the lofty in
differences Of lord, and going out with a
hcartless disregard of those left behind Ii
is a fortunate thing for their wives that
they can find sympathy elsewhere. Some
husbands never leave home without some
unkind word or look, thinking that such a
course will keep things straight in their
absence. Then on retiring. some husbands
come home jolly and happy, unsecured by
the world; some sulky aud surly with dis
appointments. Some husbands bring home
newspaper or book, and bury themselves
for the evening in its contents. Some hus-
bands are called away every evening by
business or social engagements; some doze
in speeches. stupidity on sofa until bed
time. Some husbands arc curious to learn
Of their wives what has transpired through
the day; others arc attracted by nothing
short of child falling down or the house
taking fire. depend upon it." says DIR.
Spooner, that home is the happiest where
kindness, interest, politeness and attention
is shown-of course all the responsibilities
rest with them, and temptation finds no
| footing there.
