Happy, indeed, if any be 80 wise as to
see the reflection before it is too late for

A lahoring man who was extremely
addicted to profane swearing was one day
at work with ayeke of oxen near the
house. The oxen not working to suit
him, he began to whip them severely, at
the same time u,tering volleys of blasphe
nous oaths. The oxen breaking loose
from their harness, ran away, while the
man, in passion. pursued them, and
coming up with them at the house, be-,
gan to whip them again and to swear as
horribly as before. His little boy, who
was at that time just old enough to be-
gin to talk, began to prattle his proiane
oaths over after him. No sooner did the
father hear this than his feelings were
powerfully wrought upon. lie paused a
moment, dropped his whip. and sat down
and wept bitterly. A dood Of keen re.

Something Good for Unmarried Men

One Of our exchanges gives the follow,
ing good reply to the question "What
kind OF man is attractive to women ?"
The answer can be given in few
words: God has so made the sexes that
women, like children, cling to men, lean
upon them as though they were superior
in miLd and body. They make them the
sums OF their system, and they and their
children revolve around them. Men are
gods il they but knew it, and the women
burning incense at their shrines. Wor
men, therefore, who have good and pure
hearts. want men 10 lean upon. Think
OF their reverencing a drunkard, liar, a
foo', or libcrtine
II man would have woman do him
homage, he must be manly in every
sense; true gentleman, not after the
Chesterfield school, but polite because his
heart is fn!l OF kindness to all; one who
treats her with respect, even Difference,
because she is woman; who never con.
descends to say silly things TO her; who
brings her up to his level # his mind is
above hers; who is never over anxio us
to please her, but always anxious to do
right; who has no time to be frivolous
with her; always dignifed in speech and
act; who never spends too much money
upon her; never yields to temptation,
even If she puts it in his way; who is
ambitious TO make bis mark in the world
whether she encourages him or not; who
is never familiar with her to the extent
Of being an adopted brother or cousin ;
who is not over-careful about dress al.
ways pleasant and considerate, but al.
ways keeping his place ss the man, the
head, and never losing.
Such department, with noble principles
a good mind, energy and industry, will
win any woman in the land who ia worth
the winning.

ANOTHER RIOT.
A UNION LEAGUE IN ARMS.
THEMILITARY INTER FERE
A WHITE CITIZEN KILLED.

We arc informed that, on Saturday
night last, in Pickens District, near Per,
ryville, on the Blue Ridge Railroad, a
white man, named Bryce, WAS engaged
in opening Union League. 1t is no,
known whether there were anv other
whites present than Bryce. The number
Of colored men was about 200.
During the exercises, a white youth,
named Smith, who was intoxicated, forced
his way into the League, and exhibited
bis pistol, but it is not certainly known
that the weapon was discharged. The
appearance Of young Smith greatly exas.
perated the negroes, and they sailed out
to overtake him. He thereupon ran
quarter or half a mile, and took refuge in
building where debating society, com.
posed Of the young people OF the ueigh.
borhood, was peaceably holding a meet.
ing. Smith was in no wise connected
with this society. The negroes surround
ed the house, large proportion being
armed, it is said, with pistols and muske,s,
and commenced an indisc,iminate attack
upon the members, who were unarmed,
and, of course, unsuspicious OF the danger
that had so suddenly come upon them.
One OF the shots fred by the negroes
took effect upon the person OF a Young
man named Huunicult, which proved ia.
tai in less than five minutes. The other
members Of the debating society succeed.
ed in making their escape, after receiving
sundry bruises.
The negroes continued the riot through
the night, ard, on Sunday morning,
squads Of from ten to thirty were engag.
ed in plundering and pillaging the houses
in the neighborAood.

How Victoria Reproved a Flirting
Daughter.

An anecdote illustrating Victoria's ad.

discipline is related by one who witnessed
the occurrence. One day, when the
queen was present in her carriage at the
military review, the princess royal, then
rather wiful girl OF about thirteen, ST,
ting on the front seat, seemed disposed to
be rather familiar and coquettsh with
some young officers Of the escort. Her
Majesty gave several reproving looks,
without avail-"winked at her, but she
wouldn't stay winked." At length, in
flirting her handkerchief over the side OF
the carriage, she dropped it-too evident.
ly not accidently. Instantly two or three
young heroes sprang from their saddles
to return it to her fair hand, but the awr
full voice Of royalty stayed them. "Stop,
gentlemen" exclaimed the Queen, "leave
it just where it is. Now, my daughter,
get down from the carriage and pick up
your handkerchief" There was no help
for it. The royal foo,man let down the
steps for the little royal lady, who pro
ceeded to !ift from the dust the pretty
piece o! cambric and lace. She bIushed
good deal, though she tossed her head
sauciIy, and she was doubtless angry en-.
ough, but the mortifying lesson may have
niPped in the bud her first impulse to
wards coquetry. 1t was hard, but i, was
wholesome. How many American mo-
