Golden Words.

We live in two worlds--a natural and spiritual one.
 Heart makes the home precious, and it is the only thing that can.
 What so diffuses and creates Ilappi- ness as an abundance of sunshine?
 Three things to love-courage gentle ness and affection.
 Three things to admire-intellec- tual power, dignity and gracefulness.
 Three things to hate-cruelty, arro- gance and ingratitude
 Three things to delight in-beauty frankness and freedom.
 Happiness is promised not to the learned but to the good.
 It is human err, but diabolical to the persevere in error.
 Faith is the key that unlocks Para disc, and lets a flood of joy into the soul, Faith appropriates all to itself.
 Observe method in the distribution of your time, Every hour will then know its proper employment, and no time will then be lost, likeness will be shut out at every avenue, and with her that numerous body of vices that, make up her train,

The Power of the Heart.

Let any one, whiles sitting down, place the left leg over knee of the right one and permit it to hang freely, aban- donlng all muscular control oyer if. Speedily it may be observed to sway forward and backward, through a limited space at regular intervals. Counting the number of these motions from any given time, they will be found to agree exactly with the beatings of the pulse. Every one knows that at fires, when the water from the engine is forced through bent hose, and if the bend is sharp one considerable force is necessary to overcome the tendency. Just so it is the case of the human bo- dy. The arteries are but a system of hose, through which the blood is for ced by the heart. When the leg is bent, all the arteries within are bent too, and every time the heart contracts the blood, rushing through the arteries tends to strengthen them and it is the effort which produces the motion of the leg alluded to. Without such ocu- lar demonstration it is difficult to con- ceive the power exerted by that exquis- ite mechanism, the normal pulsations of which are never perceived by him whose very life they are.

The Cotton Tax,

Most people arc not aware of the present position of the cotton tax question in Con. gress, as so much wraugling and changing in measures have been made The position in which it now is will be undcrsteon from the following;
 The bill as originally passed by the House, simply provided for repeal of the tax on all cotton grown after last year; the Senate sub stituted provision for suspending the tax one year, and also for the importation of cot ton this year free of duty. The House re- fused to agree 10 this substitute, and the bill accordingly went into committee of confer ence, which reported that an agreement could not be reached. The reason was that the Senate members of the committee insisted on the provision levying a tax of one cent per pound on all cotton grown after the present year. Subsequently, MT. Sherman carried certain instructions through the Senate, and the bill was then sent to another conference committee, which agreed upon report pro. viding for the simultaneous repeal of the tax on our own cotton, grown hereafter, and of the tariff on foreign cotton, which, under the existing law, pays duty of three cents per pound. Iu this shape the bill, it was hoped, would have proved acceptable; but upon it's presentation in the House on Friday. it was summarily rejected, and third conference committee appointed. in whose hands the measure now rests.-[ Louisville Ind X Com.

PcsiteHess ef' p;fui.

An old poet has quaintly call jesus ''the first true gentlemen that ever breathed. faurs politeness, too, must not be overlooked, compounded as 1t was of dignity and dcfcrenee. Ii ep- peared in the mildness of the manner in which he delivered his most start ling and solemn messages, both to Jews and heathens; in his graceful saluta- tions; in his winning reproofs-the "exceilent oil which did not break the head ;" In the delicacy of his allusions to his claims and services and. above all in the calm self-possesed and manly he assumed before the rulers of his people and Roman authorities. In the language of Peter and John to their judges, there is an abruptness sa- voring oftheir rude fisherman life and filter for the rough echoes of the lake of Gallilee, than for the tribunal of power. But Paul, while equally bold and decided. is far more gracious. He lowers his thunderbolt before his ad- versary ere he launches it. His shaft is ''polished" as well as powerful His words to King Agrippa-''I would to God that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both al- most and altogether such as I am ex- cept these bonds"-are the most chiv- alrous sutterances recorded in history. An angel could not bend more grace fully, or assume an attitude of more exalted courtesy.

We have had three years of peace. During all that time the people of the South have been pnarmed and defence less. Not a hand has been lifted there against the federal government Its authority and the supremacy of the Constitution have been acknowledged by all Who favored the rebellion. And now Congress passes an act to infict despotism-bill, bayonet-bilk upon a people, defenceless and starving. It proposes to put them, men and women. under the thumbs of their negroes. It proposes to put millions of white men and women and children, the cultivated and the refined, under subjection to ignorant and ill-smelling Africans. The whole thing is cowardly. It is brutal. It is horrible, It is devilish. It is an accursed crime against man. kind. It is a revolting sin against God.-Louisvllle Journal.

Assistance to Planters.

In speaking of the late order from the government in regard to planters being furnished supplies by the government upon certain conditions. to enable them to put in crops this year, the New Orleans Cres- cent says:
 We learn that many planters are much gratifed at the late order providing for their assistance through the agency of the Freedmen's Bureau. They regard 1t as q cheering ray of light, breaking upon the planting and commercial interests of Louisiana An intelligent merchant of our acquaintance expresses the conviction that it will result in adding 500, 900 bales of cotton to the next crop it relieves plan ters from their previous dependence for supplies upon merchants unwilling and really unable to sell goods on credit; and divides risks of future losses between them and the government.
 Inasmuch as the government has under taken to provide subsistence for destitute freedmen, it is clear requirement of economy that the government should also it possible provide work by which such freedmen may sustain themselves. The agricultural situation in the South has be- come such as to make it necessary to assist planters with supplies, in order to extend assistance to freedmen with a reasonable prospect ofthe ultimate refund ing of money expended in this way But the number of freedmen taking part in the process, will comprise limited and select class. For planters, in accepting supplies on the terms of the order referred to, will become guarantors of the faithful and eff eient labor of the freedmen whom they employ. In default of such labor, they will find themselves at the end of the sea- son owing debt which will swallow up their measer crops, and, perhaps, even their farming uteusile and working stock Hence, it will be of vital importance for those who may try planting with freedmen on the conditions indicated, that they should discriminate carefully in engaging laborers, selecting only such as are likely to amply indemnify them for their stipu- lated obligations to government agencies.

Foreign Cotton Competition.

The United States Senate seems to be the last refuge of all the obsolete notions about the American cotton trade but even that body may be interested in the knowledge of the fact that the English papers calculate upon in creased supplies of dotton from other places than the United States during the present year. It was apprehended that production iu India and other new cotton countries would be retarded by the heavy reduction of prices, but the result does not appear likely to take place. The Manchester Cotton Supply Asso. citation has information that last years sup ply from India will be largely increased this year. Measures have been taken to improve Turkey and Egypt and the supply from these sources will be larger and better than hereto fore. From the West Indies, Australia, ..Af rica, and other places, the quantity win be considerably augmented. The consular agents of the British government have every where co-operated with the officers of tho Manchester Cotton Supply Association in dis tributing seed and information respecting the culture, growth, and packing of the staple, and with so much success that the result is subject of no slight satisfaction to the parties interested. The bulk of the supply of cotton from India does not reach England until late in the year; but there are now 1000 bales in transit in excess of the quantity at sea this time last year.
 The English Government eagerly cooper ates with private enterprise in stimulating the growth of cotton in every place but the United States in order to break down our trade; and Congress, with degree of parti- san malice and stupidity that is devoid of all sound sense and policy, aids in the work of crushing our only remaining national indus try. The continued imposition of the cotton tax in any form will build up the foreign trade at the expense of American producers -[ Commercial Advertiser.

ADVERTISING SALES OF PRopERrr.-The Lancaster Intelligencer, in speaking of the importance and great advantage of adverti- sing sales of property in the newspapers, in addition to having hanG-bills printed, very truthfully says:
 "A newspaper is read by hundreds who never see the attractive bills which are posted in the taverns and the store rooms. Every subscriber to a country paper reads all such advertisements carefully. He knows who IS selling out andexactly what is offered for sale The advertisements are a topic of converse ton when friends meet, and arrangements are made for attending sales. The result is large crowd, spirited bidding and result of ten, twenty or fifty times what it costs to advertise. No money is so sure to return a large profit as that spent on printers ink A single additional bidder on single article will pay all it costs 10 advertise sale of per sonal property in a newspaper. Is it not strange then, that any one should fail to ad- vertises Let our friends think of the matter" Reading Times.

 EB- Daniel Webster had an anecdote of old Father Searl, the minister of his boyhood, which is too good to be lost. It was customary then to wear buck skin brooches in cool weather. One Sunday morning in the autumn, Father Searl brought his brooches down from the garret, but the wasps had taken possession during the summer, and were having a nice time of it in them. By dint of effort he got out the intru- ders and dressed for meeting. But while reading the scriptures to the congregation, he felt dagger from one of the enraged small waisted fellows, and jumped around the pulpit skipping his thighs. But the more he slapped and danced, the more they stung. The people thought him crazy, but he ex- plained the matter by saying:
 'Brethren don't be alarmed the word of the Lord is in my mouth, but the devil is in my breechesf' Webster always told this with great glee to the ministers.

The Ladies of the Press.

Some of the best writing on New York papers is done by women. With in a few years this field of labor for women has been greatly widened, and it now affords remunerative employ ment to large number of intelligent ladies. Nine-tenths of the fashion ar- ticles are written by women--as they should be-and much of the miscela- neous literary work of the dailies and weeklies is performed by the same sex. Women are also employed in compo- sing rooms, and they are found just as useful and reliable as men. The World employs large squad of female com positors, and is perfectly satisfied with their performance. Many of the fe- male writers for the press are related to editors and reporters, and obtain employment through their influence. The rate of compensation is generally as high as men receive for the same kind of work, and when the work is as we'll done as men could do it, there is no good reason for difference in the pay. About one hundred women in New York support themselves com fortably by their work on newspaper press, not to speak of those employed in the mechanical branches of the in- stitution.

Debate on Reconstruction.

The Reconstruction Bill drew large crowd to the House on the 2Oth, and it's discussion was of more than usual in- terest. The passage of the bill was des layed on motion of Mir. Butler, to re- consider the vote by which the pre- Vious question was ordered. He desir- ing to offer an amendment. the House adjourned pending the motion. Tho biA was passed the next day.
 Mir. Cary, of Ohio, sent bomb into the Radical camp by propounding four questions to MT. Bingham, viz: MT. Cary said: As time will not allow me to give my views on this subject, de- sire to ask my colleage, when he closes the discussion, four questions, and as they shall be satisfactorily answered, my vote shall be determined:
 l. If General Grant shall neglect Of refuse to exercise the provisions ofthis law, or if in it's execution he should act in an oppressive and cruel manner, to what tribunal would he be amenable for his non-feasance or maifeasancei
 2. As by the terms of the bill the President can not interfere, can the General be tried by court-martial, and if so, who can order and who shall con- stitute the court?
 3. Not being civil officer, can he bo impeached? and if so, by whom and before what tribunal
 4. If he can not be arraigned by any earthly tribunal, is he not made an ab- solute despot?
 Before Mir. Cary had concluded half the members were on their feet, and Butler, Boutwell, Schenck and others rushed up to Bingham to counsel with him how to meet these propositions, but they were unanswerable, and Bing- ham failed to give satisfactory reply.

CoLoR IN THE HoRsE.--It is an old expression that good horse cannot be of a bad color, still we find that the ready sale of a horse depends largely upon his color. Some hues are strong ly objected to, and prejudice is carried so far as to deny merit to an animal not marked according to the standard of the critic. We have not much faith in color, believing that good qualities are not partial to any particular hue. White horses, it is claimed, live to the greatest age. In 1903 gentleman far mer, residing near Ludlow, England, had team of four grays, whose united ages were a hundred years. These grays were all lively animals, perform ing their work with dispatch. Such circumstance certainly is unusual, and we may regard it in the light of coin cidence. As coincidence don't prove a proposition the history of tho Lulow team has no special influence in giving character to the theory that gray is the most desirable color in the horse, because it Is associated with the great- est longevity. Gray horse may be hardy and so may browns black, . shsstnst or 8 bay.

A Sound Opinion.

A correspondent of tho New York Herald, writing from Jackson, utters the following sound views in regard to matters and things in this state. Re- ferring to the concern, called con- vention, now in session, he says:
 "I am ofopinion that the constitution to be framed by this convention will not he ratified. The whites will vote against it almost to unit, and the blacks have not as high an appreciation of the franchise privilege as they had before it was conferred upon them. They can't see any money in itA-no bread or meat; but they are beginning to sec how by their votes they are bringing white men to the surface who heretofore could not command the re- spect of their own race, and who care for the blacks only so long as they can be made useful for party purposes, or personal preferment. The W hites have determined to rule this country, and they will do ie. They are too poor to emigrate, if they SO desired, and they cannot live here in political equality, or rather ill subordination to the black man. In this and in other Southern States it is true they are in the minori- ty as to numbers; but, through the blessings of freedom, the black man, like the red man, is rapidly passing away. It will take them some time to all die out; but their race is doomed, unless the radicals let them alone.

Young Men.

Many great men performed their greatest achievements before forty ! Alexander the Great died at thirty three. Napoleon had achieved all his victories at thiry-iiye. Washington was twcnty-scvcn. when he covered the retreat of the British army under Brad dock, and forty five in 17I6. At thirty three Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. At thirty, Hamilton helped to frame the Constitution of the United States. At twenty-three Me lancthon wrote the Loci Communes, which passed through fifty editions in his lifetime. At thirty-three, he wrote the Augsburg Confession. At twenty nine, Ursinus wrote the Heidelberg Catechism.-Zwingle wrote his chief works before forty, and died at forty six. At the Disputation of Leipsic, Luther was thirty-fve; at the diet of Worms, thirty-seven. At twenty seven, Calvin wrote the Institutes. Moses sent young men to spy out the land of Canaan, and Joshua sent young men as spies to Jericho. Saul, David and Solomon achieved their greatest work before they had reached middle life.
 John the Baptist and the Apostles did their life work as young men, and Jesus Christ finished his labors and endured his sufferingsas as young man. Not decrepit, worn-out life, but the warm blood of manhood's morning, did he shed upon the cross for the worlds redemption.
