A book with this title has just been issued
by a publishing house in New York. There
is great deal Of chaff in ii, but we think
there are few grains of sense among the
following extracts
SUNDAY CHRIsTIANs.-Herei is man who
goes to the judgment and claims to have
been man of unexceptionable piety. He
bears witness that he never violated the
Sabbath day; that he never spoke loud or
laughed on Sunday; that he never did any
secular work on Sunday; that he never
BACKED his boots, or shaved, or cooked on
Sunday; that he never rode in the cars or
on the boats on Sunday. He was ALWAYS
very scrupulous about what he did on Sun
day On any other day he would not hest
tate to take advantage of his fellow men !:
he would not hesitate to gouge the poor
woman that put hiscarpet down he would
not hesitate to cheathis customers; but.

- aOI5 Nethodism," both in the United Ststes
o5 Csnsda, celebrated its first centennial period
an this continent, in October, 1866. The Church
South took no part in t did not seem to recognize
IT,
This "Old Methodism,D il is true has not been
here since l844, for period of more than twenty
years, until quite recently. But why? Mr., Harris
knows as well as any man The spirit Of anti-re-
publican misrule that prevailed throughout the
South, would have hung the ministers of the M. Z.
Church, just as it hung the Rev. Anthony Bewley,
in Texas, because he preferred remaining in the NJ
E. Church without the the sufix South. Now, in
the providence of God, slavery is abolished, and
American citizens enjoy the privileges OF their
citizenship, including the right TO 60 anywhere and
worship as they choose, answerable only to God
and their own conscience. Many now say they
want to be in the old Church. from which they
were discovered without their will and consent and
in many cases, without their knowledge.

The Bachelor.


"o solitude where are thy charms f-CowFER.
No house and home, children, wife
Ah who would not pity bachelors life!
He sleeps ESQ does oxen,) he eats and drinks
But there's to what be suffers or thinks.
One woman he speaks to but all he say,
Ia, what viii you have for dinner today"
On Monday some slight variation is made,
When the washwoman comes for her bill to DO paid.
Alas for the outcast from all he holds dear!
With no one to love and no one to fear;
With none who would mourn he laid il the tomb
Except for the dollar he paid for his room.
With no ore to love save dog q cat
All why I'LL the soul with affection for that
AS we'll hug the fish in the fatbomless seas,
As caress such insensible creatures these
I'd lief be baby and cling to dell,
As fondle poodle, cat, or poll
IT'S speech Of the soul I long for alone
The communion of spirits akin TO my own.
eh the chords Of the heart how intensely they yearn
For some one to love who will love in return;
For some one to hear what no stranger must know
For to cling to in veal sad in woe.
For seme one to miss when that ono is away;
For sene ono to bless when we kneel down to pray
Some oompanion-in in arms" in the battle Of life
That some one'-ahl who Il be but wife

From letter from Nashville, published
in the Memphis Post, we extract the follow
ing: 1-
Governor Brownlow, the old man reso-
lutte, is still in feeble health, but reported as
we'll as he has been for several years. His
hand may quiver but his heart never fails.
His eye is full Of fire and resolution, and yet
it never looks ON misfortune and suffering
bit it becomes gentle as womans. His
political foes have hundreds of tales to tell
of his personal Kindness and they 90 away
from his presence with grateful memories
of how his heart yearns toward them and
prompts him to do everything for them
which is possible up to the line of public
duty. Other men will have lived and done
well, and die and be forgotten; but Brown
low will be historical name, and the his
toric muse will chronicle his eecentricities
as only giving relief to the firm will, the
resolute action, and the clear intellect that
bore him honorably and triumphantly
through difficulties such as it is given to
few men to surmount. / often think OF
some of Goldsmith's verses descriptive OF
the schoolmaster in the Deserted Village,
when am contemplating the character OF
Governor Brownlow. A littlechange makes
them applicable:
"a man severe he was, and stern to view
knew him well, and every rebel knew
Yet he was kind, or If severe in aught
The love he bore his country was his fault"
Yours, SCRIBE.

SENsIBLE.-Horace Greeley, in a lecture
recently delivered on Advertising, said !:
Some men who know enough to advertise
are yet so narrow minded as to conhne their
advertisements to journals of their own

The Militia Bill.

The Nashville correspondent Of the Gin
oinnati Gazette, has the following upon the
state of Tennessee politics, in reference to
the action of the Legislature upon the
Militia Bill:
!" am sorry to say there appears to be
some serious discussions among the Union
members in reference to this matter, and
three or four impracticable men seem to be
on the point of spelling everything. The
Military Bill is necessary adjunct to the
Suffrage Bill. Without the former, the lat
ter will prove worse than apples of SOdom
to the lips of the Union men. And if few
individuals, who seem determined to have
their own way or nothing, shall defeat this
most necessary and righteous measure, and
thus throw the State into the power of the
rebels, they will incur fearful responsible
ity to the loyal people of Tennessee, to their
country and their God.
