ing anecdote, which may afford them
food for thought:
A man, long noted for Incorporate
habits, was induced by the Rev. John
Abbott to sign the pledge "in his own
way" which he did in tb 80 words /:
{" | pledge myself to drink no iDtoxi-
eating drinks for one year." Few be-
lieved he could keep it; but, near the
end of the year, he again appeared at
u temperance meeting, without once
having touched u drop.
Are you going to sign tagain p
asked Mr.. Abbott.
Yes" replied he, "if can do it
in my own way; J" and accordingly he
signed the pledge for nine HUNDRED
and ninety-nine years, "and if" said
he, :" / live to that time, 1 intend tc
cake out lite lease"
A. few days after he called on the
tavern keeper, who welcomed him
back TO his old haunt.
"Oh. landlord" said he, rs if in
pain, IL have such lump ON uiy
side %
"Thats because you have stopped
drinking" said the landlord. You
wont live long if you keep on"
"Will drink take tile lump away 7"
ayes; and if you don't drink you'll
soon have lump on the other side
Como. let's drink together !" and he
poured out two glassos Of whiskey
4" reckon ! won't drink" said the
former Inebriate, especially II keep.
ing the pledge will bring another
lump; for il isn't vory hard to bear
after all !" and with this he drew the
lump-a roll Of greenbacks-from his
side pocket, and walked on, leaving

Progress and improvement.

Al no period in the history OF Amer.
lea, has energy aud enterprise, qnicA
growth Of towns and cities, advance
ment in agriculture, been so rapid as
since the close Of the insurreCtion.
The great devastation incident to such
strife has been cleared away, like
smoke before the breeze. The whole
American people, with few peculiar
exceptions, SEQ u bright future before
them looming up as silyory lining 10
the mornings dawn. ..... -.g
The laboring man moves with a
quick step, instead Of plOdding along
as 10 The OIden style. With u deter
mined air and firm purpose, he over
comes a,l obstacles, and marches on
with progress in developing the fruits
Of agriculture. or the benefits Of art,
with the greatest economy. Not only
the laboriug white man, but the re-
Gently eniraucbised colored man,
moves third quicker with his bright
smiling tacej making his services
worth u third more to the country and
hundred fold to himself .' .
Much of this favorable condition Of
the country, and among the laboring
class OF the South, is owing, no doubt,
to the removal Of the iron yoke Of mo-
nopoly aud slavery by tho terrible fire
Of war. Yet, in the face Of all these
facts, the restless, chatting leaders ol
secession continually cry, tyranny :
oppression ...
The question very naturally arises,
what is the object of these malcon-
tents, who so very recently yielded
up everything on the field Of battle
The object | opine is very plain to the
close observer of cause and effect. 1t
is TO carry their point BY subterfuge
ut the ballot box, which they failed tC
accomplish in the field. This is their
whole thought by night aud by day
Will the great mass of the people
the laboring people, allow this, ant
thus blight their own prospects anC
that VI their country forever e.

The Memphis Post of Saturday
says: IN the United States Court, in
the case Of Bidler vs. Pillow, in which
demurrer TO the plea Of defendant
was urged, on Thursday, by counsel,
the Court on Tuesday sustained the
demurrer, giving tho defendant until
the August rules to file new plea.
This case Is an interesting and i'm

Chamberlain We're married yesterday.
Wights wife is q hopeless invalid +;
at least, she was so much an invalid
as to no longer be able to satisfy the
desires of her husband. The other
woman probably filed the bill much
better. Wight married his first wife
when she was young, beautiful and in
good health. She il yet possessed of
good looks, Notwithstanding the Attic
tions which have lowered over her.
She is lady ofrare accomplishments
She was of good family, and reputed
wealthy at the time OF her marriage.
But after serving Wight thirteen
years, she was put away by divorce,
because she was an invalid.
AT this wedding yesterday this di-
vorced wife stood beside the woman
that was to nSurp her place-stood
there like a living corpse-like a smit.

rily, we have, in her, an example oi
woman's devotion such as we never
before heard of. If she stood there
through COmpulsion, the curse and
bligh ht of the Almighty will follow the
husband and his new-mads wife (fornr
erly his divorced wife's nurse) to
avenge the wrongs Of tho wretched
woman.
Wight and his wife and his divorced
wife left the city in company together
yesterday. If the husband and the
wife have any feelings of humanity
left, this injured woman's pale face
will haunt them like u spectre wher
ever they may travel.
