ed raid through Ohio and des-
troyed and took possession ofa
vast amount Of property belonging
to citizens OF Ohio. and whereas we
believe the Government should re-
munerate private citizens whose
property was destroy ed by said
raid. therefore,
Resolved, That we pledge our
selves to use all honorable means
to secure such legislation as will re-
munerate all citizens OF Ohio whose
property was destroyed or taken
by said John Morgan and the troops
OF his command, and also to secure
compensation for property taken
by the Union forces while in pur.
suit of said Morgan's forces.
WHEREAS, The national debt
funded and unfunded varies rot
much froms2 500, ,QQO, 900, of which
near ., 600, 100000 is funded, a prof
table investment Of property and
wholly exempt from local taxation,
and, whereas the United States
is not bound to pay the principal Of
any part of said fuaded debt in
coin, excepting the interest on the
5-20s and 10 40s and one or two
other issues, and we believe, viz: that
there is nothing in the laws, or
Constitution, or obligation of duty
or honor that prevents the Govern
ment from refunditg the funded
debt Of the United States in taxa
BILE securities bearing interest pay
able'in coin and such securities re
deemab,e at discretion of the Gov
eminent as to time, in coin, after
first taking up the untaxable debt
with legal tender currency. There.

Resolued, That we favor the pol.
icy of employing all legal and con.
stitutional means of subjecting the
vast amount of untaxed property
evidenced by the United States Sc
curities to an equal share Of the
public burdens, national, State and
local.

MARRIAGE.-The Albany Atlas in the
course of a sensible article on marriage,
says: "Look beneath the surface, examine
the heart, and strive to choose what will
confer lasting happiness rather than tenn
porary qualification. Marry heart and
soul, not form nor mind; act for your
self and not for others consult reason,
not passion; and think marriage an affair
of years, not moments; period whose
freshness and glittering will soon wear
eway; and let sincerity and worth form
the foundation upon which you are to
build your life and happiness. Then will
marriage be gift from heaven, blessing
him who gives, who receives, and those
who share its obligations, its pains and its
oys"'

Rev. Samuel Clawson; Methodist
preacher of eccentric manners, sometimes
called the "wild man." was very popular in
Western Virginia some twenty years ago.
He was cross-eyed, and wiry made, and
very dark skinned for white man. Al
times he was surprisingly always exci:able
and once in while extravagant. He once
accompanied brother minister, Rev. Mr..
R, prominent city pasor, in a
visit to. colored church. Mr.. r. gavd the
colored preacher the hint, and of caurse
Cla~son invited to preach. He did so,and
during the sermon set the lmpulsive Afri-
cans SO shouting all over the house. This
in turn set Clawson to extravagant words
and actions and he leaped out of the pulpit
like deer, and began to take the hands OF
the colored brethren and mix in quite hap
PLY, He wept for joy. Then pressing
through the crowd he found brother r. and
sitting down beside him, he threw his arms
around his neck, and with the tears stream
ing down his face, be said; ;" Brother r., |
almost wish l had been born uiggcr
These folks have more religion than we
have" "Well, we'll" said brother r.,
you came so near it that you needn't cry
about it."

AN ITEM WHICH EVERY MAN SHOULD
Read.-We have probably all of US met
with instances in which word heedlessly
spoken against the reputation of a female
has been magnifed by malicious minds un.
til the cloud has been dark enough to over.
shadow her whole existence. To those
who are accustomed, not. necessarily from
bad motives, but from thoughtlessness, to
speak lightly of ladies, we recommend
these "hints' as worthy Of consideration !:
Never use lady's name in an improper
place, at an improper time, or in mixed
company. Never make assertions about
her that you think untrue, or illusions
that you think she herself would blush to
hear. When you meet with men who do
not scruple to make use of a woman's
name in reckless and unprincipled man.
ner, sbun them, for they are the very worst
members of the community-mcn lost to
every sense of honor, every feeling of hu-
manity. Many good and worthy wo.
mans character has been forever ruined,
and she heart-broken, by lie lmanufactur-
ed by some villain, and repeated, where it
should not have been, and in the presence
OF those whose little Judgment could not
deter them from circulating the, foul and
Dragging report A SANDER is soon pro-
pagated and the smallest thing derogatory
to woman's character will fly on the
wings Of the wind, and magnify as it cir
culates, until its monstrous weight crushes
the poor, unconscious victim. Respect
the name of woman; your mother and sis
ters are women, and as you would have
their fair name untarnished, and their lives
unembitterd BY the slauderer's 8 tongue,
heed the i'll that your own, words may
bring upon the mother, the sister or the
wife of some fellow creature. a ase

@ An old Dutch farmer had hand
some daughter, named Minnie, who recent.
ly Joined the Methodist Church, against
which the old farmer was somewhat preju-
diced. The young minister under whose
instrumentality Miss Minnie was converted
visiting her frequently, excited his suspi-
cion that all was not right Accordingly,
he visited the church one Sunday Mi ght,
and seated himself, unobserved, among the
congregation.
Soon after taking his seat the minister
who was preaching from Daniel, 5th chap
ter, 25th verse, repeated in loud voice
the words of his text, "Mene meme, tekel
upharson," upon which the old farmer
sprang to his feet, seized the affrighted
girl by the arm, and hurried her out of the
meeting house. Having reached the
church yard, he gave vent to his feelings
in the words: saa -
