The Radical leaders OF the North al

The Radical leaders oil the North On
nounce with braggadocio that they are
helping the starving South" We
have seen the Radical organ at Nash
Vile parade in its columns that so much
corn, &C., has been sent by certain Rad
ical persons to keep the people in many
portions of the South from starving
Now, grant that this be true, we think
all merit in such charity is taken away
by the contemplate spirit which would
boast about it, for genuine charity does
not love to vaun. ITSELF 1t comes as
the dew from Heaven-silenuy, but
with a blessing to parched vegetation.
And aside from this, if the South is
starving, where is the necessity ofsend
ing troops to keep her quiet for fear
she may rebel! Dispossessed of arms,
and power to even defend herself from
foul and unconscionable outrage, and
starving as the Radicals say, we can
not see that it requires so much legisla-
ton and DISTINGUISHING to enable the
Radicals to maintain their power.
But, without arguing this point. we
will say that wo don't believe any Radi.
cal has yet given anything to help the
South, except for some base political
purpose. by Heaven, we can get along
without such charity as Radicals be-
stow, or VIC ought to die in trying.

The late civil war closed in April,
1864. Since then the laws of the Uni,
ted States have been as easily enforced
in New Orleans and Charleston and
all over the South as in the Northern
States. For near two years those
Southern States by the consent Of
Congress-, have enjoyed all the rights
of States save representation in Con
gress. Now, why put these States
out of existence Us States and place
the people under the tyrant rule of
military sway9 The Radicals might
have done this after Lees surrender
with some show of an excuse, but now
there can be no necessity. The tyrant's
plea will not do now. This high handed
step of infamy is inexcusable on every
principle of right. The scheme is, of
course, to enable them to carry the
next Presidential election in spite of
the will of the large majority Of the
people.

Serenadc.

The other night, when "chaste Lu'
M" was vouchsafng few rays of
soft light to mortals on earth, as if to
ward off any suspicion which the pre-.
vious long spell of clouds and rain
might have created, that the sun and
herself both had enh red into con-
spiracy to refuse any more lightin the
future, we were musing, almost dream
ing meath the roof at Hearts. Delight,
when a delicious "concord Of sweet
sounds " fell upon our ears, and it was
but a few moments before the convic-
ton forced itself upon our mind that
we were being complimented with a
sercnadc. We heartily thank the young
gentlemen for bestowing upon US IA
yors which even lovely damsels of
blooming sixteen might envy. Come
again-come when you will, with mu.
sic-and you shall find
Z" A cheerful, cozy, comfortable nook.
Wherein if any curious friend strangers
look,
They'll find no pomp of wealth. no pom
derous tome, .
But music, mirth, and sunny asrs ofhome."

Taxation.

The Radicals are very lavish in spend.
ing the money of the people. They
pay it out freely for any purpose that
promises to help their party. They
vote enormous fat jobs to favorites, and
the poor people must foot the bills. In
Ohio taxation seems to be felt as well
as here. The Stark County Democrat,
on able Conservative organ, and one of
the most welcome exchanges the Home
Journal receives, says in late issue:
The First Congressional District of
Ohio, embracing one half Of Hamilton
county, in 1866, paid an Internal Reve-
nue. tax Of over eiyht millions Of dollars.
This is more than was assessed on the
duplicate for 1852, in the entire State
of Ohio, for State, county, township,
city, town, borough and all Othe pur-
poses. So much for Black Republican
rule. 'it-l. .."

A WIFE's PRAYER.-Is not the sub
joined gem from noble woman's
soul? If there is anything that comes
nearer to the imploration of Naomi
than it, we have not seen it.
Lord! bless and preserve that dear
person whom Thou hast chosen to he
my husband; let his life be long and
blessed, comfortable and holy and let
me also become great blessing and
comfort unto him, sharer in all his
sorrows; meet helper in all the acci-
dents and changes in the world; make
me amiablc forever in his eyes, and for
ever dear to him. Unite his heart to
me in the dearest love and mine TO him
in all sweetness, charity and compli-
ance. Keep me from ungentlcness, all
disco and unreasOnablcness
of passion and humor; and make me
humble and obe dient, useful and obser
want, that we may delight in each other
according to Thy blessed Word, and
both of us may rejoice in Thee, having
our portion in the love and service oi
God forever.-Amen.

1t is no longer secret that n major
ity of the Radicals in the Senate at
Washington are bitterly opposed to the
project. They denouncc
it in mmeasured terms as folly and
madness, One of them said the other
day, in private conversation, that he
would like to know if the Republican
party is to be dragooned into such n
thing by men like Logan and Butler,
who are in the party only on probation
and who at one time since the war, not
much over a year ago, were doing their
best to revive the old Democratic par.

l Natural WOnder-A Moving
Mass of Rocks.

| A writer in the Memphis Avalanche
describes great natural wonder, said
to have been discovered by two En-.
glish noblemen in Arkansas, near the
ST. Francis river, and the boundary
which separates Missouri and Arkan-
sas. 1t is called n "moving mass Of
rock" In that section is strip Of
limestone, or green stone, ranging from
between one to two miles in width. 1t
is intersperscd here and there with
as Of land, in many cases over an
acre in length, peculiarly rich in soil,
and making the strange and perhaps
hitherto unknown conformation Of a
swampy and rocky soil. The water
from the st. Francis pours in, especial
ly in the spring and fall seasons, in a
heavy volume. The stream, although
its current is swift beyond parallel,
takes a zig-zag course through the
rocks, being particularly swift at the
above mentioned extremity, and again
empties into the St. Francis. At this
extremity is solid mass Of rugged
and picturesque rock, almost oval in
shape, washed on all sides by rapid
current, and moves directly and reg
ularly back and forward; always in
motion and creating deep and heavy
sound which can be heard for miles.
At first its motion is hardly pcrceptible,
to the ordinary vision, but as the sound
increases and the strange eye rests
more directly and minutely, the object
becomes palpable. On either side OF
the immense movable substance, which,
rs we have said before, is surrounded
by a swift current, are here and thcro
eddies threatening instant d ructon
to everything coming within its yawn-
ing and awful reach. The mass Of
rock is covered with wild vegetation,
which grows up thickly and sponta.
neously.
A portion Of the rock lies directly
under the base ofthe mountains, and
as it is always moving, is washing the
sides gradually away. What has pro-
duccd such an unparalleled wonder de-
mands investigation from the scientific
world If gases can cause earthquak
If currents of watar can cause whirl.
pools and mammoth malestroms, why
not certain currents Of electrical char

to revolve? The proposition is, can
science explain this wonderful freak Of
nature? What causes the rock to re-
volve? Is it apeculiar combination Of
gases, or what is itp

How TO GET OFF A Foul GUN.-A

I hand you the following as reliable
lact-thc reason ! leave to others: In
hunting, gun often becomes foul from
use, and the exploding Ola cap will fail
to explode the powder. With 4 knife
sharpen a piece of dry pine wood, or
common match wood will answer; drive
the splint right into the nipple Of the
gun, cut off the bruised part ofthe wood
even with the top Of the nipple; put on
a cap, and it will not fail to explode the
gun. Any one wishing can test this by
putting little powder in his gun, then
driving snugly the plug-it will go ey.

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORY.-M Crlttcn-
den was engaged in defending man who
had been indicted for a capital offence :
After an elaborate and powerful defence,
he closed his efforts by the following beau
tiful allegory-
When God in his eternal counsel con-
ceivcd the thought of mans creation, he
called to him the three ministers who wait
upon his thronc-justicc, Truth, and
Mercy-and thus addressed them:
Shall we make man? Then said JUS
tice,. 30 God, make him not, for he will
trample upon the laws" Truth made an
swer, also. 80, God, make him him not
for he will pollute Thy sanctuarics.' : Bat
Mercy. dropping upon her knees and look
ing up through her tears, exclaimed, 80
God make him-I will watch over him
with my care through all the dark paths
which he may have to tread. J" Then God
made man, and said to him, 80 man, thou
art the child of Mercy 80 deal with thy
brother :
The jury when he finished were in tears
and against evidence, and what must have
been their own convictions, brought in a
verdict of Not Guilty"
