The Love Of the Beautf.

Place young girl under the Care
kind-hearted. graceful woman and she u
oonciously to herself growsxinto a graceful
lady. Place boy in the establishments q
a thorough going straight forward business
man, aud the boy becomes a selfreliant
practical business man. Children are sus-
Pectible creatures. and circumstances,
scenes. actions, always impress. AS you
influence them, not by arbitrary rules, not
by stern example alone, but in the thous-
and other ways that speak through beau
tiful forms, through bright scenes, soft ut
terances and Eaetty pictures so will they
grow. Teach your children then to love
the beautiful. Give them a corner in the
garden for flowers. encourage them to put
IN shape hanging baskets, allow them to
have their favorite trees, lead them to wan
der in the Prettiest woOdlets, show them
where they can best view the sunsets, rouse
them In the morning, not with the stern
time to work but with the enthusiastic
see the sun rise > buy them pretty pic
lures and encourage them to decorate their
rooms, each in his or her childish way. The
instinct is in them. Give them an inch
and they will 60 mile. Allow them then
the privilege and they will make your homo
beautiful.

The Love Of Home.

''It is only shallow minded pretenders,"

distinguished origin a matter of personal
merit, or obscure origin matter of personal
reproach. Taunt and scofing at the hum
BILE condition of early life affect nobody in
America but those who are foolish enough
to indulge in them, and they are generally
sufficiently punished by the published re-
buke. A man who is not ashamed of him
self need not be ashamed of his early con-
dition. It did not happen to me to be born
in log cabin, but my elder brothers and
sisters were born in log cabin, raised a.
mong the snow drifts of New Hampshire,
at period so early that, when the smoke
first rose from it's rude chimney and curled
over the frozen hill, there was no similar
evidence of a white mans habitation be-
tween it and the settlements on the rivers of
Canada. It's remains still exist; make it
an annual visit. carry my children to it

generations which have gone before them

who inhabited it are now among the living

for him who raised it and defended it a.

cherished all domestic comforts beneath its
roof, and through the fire and blood of sew

to raise his country TO a condition better

Spies in the z. K. K. Camp.

who claims to have been beaten and driven
away from the Toll county Of Bedford by
the K. K. KS, relates the follow instances

One bold fellow in the service of Cover

was encouraged to believe that he would be

night to one of their baunts IN the woods.
Here he was told that to be initiated he
must be stripped of his clothing. This
was done, and the gang then subjected him
to a nameless outrage, the grossest that
can be conceived. He was then dismissed
writhing in horrible agony, and told to re-
port to Brownlow that he had been initiated

AbYgsinian Slave Beauties.

From Sir Samuel Bakers ''The Nile Tributaries of
Abyssinia."l
On my return to camp I visited the es-
adjustments of the various slave merchants.
These were arranged under large tents
formed of mating, and contained many
young girls of extreme beauty, ranging
from nine to seventeen years of age These
lovely oaPtives, of rich brown tint, with
delicately formed features and eyes like
those of the gazelle, were natives Of tho
Gala on the borders of Ayssiana, from
which country they were brought by the
AbYssinian traders, TO be sold for the Turk
ish harems. Although beautiful, these
girls are useless for hard labor they quick
ly fade away and die unless kindly treated.
They are the Yenuses of that country aud
not only are their faces and figures perfeo-
ton, but they become extremely attached
to those who show them kindness, and they
make good and faithful wives.
There is something peculiarly captiyat-
ing in the natural grace and softness of
these young beauties, whose hearts quick
ly respond to those warmer feelings of love
that are seldom known among the sterner
and cosrser tribes. Their forms are pecu-
liarly elegant aud graceful, the hands and
feet are exquisitely delicate, the nose is
generally slightly acquiline, the nostrils
largely and finely shaped the hair is black
and glossy, reaching to about the middle
of the back, but rather course in texture.
These girls, although natives of Gala, in
variaby call themselves Abyssinians, and
are generally known under that denomina-
| ton. They are exceedingly proud and
nigh-spirited, and are remarkably quick at
learning. At Keartoum, several Of the Eu-
ropeans Of high standing have married
these charming ladies, who have invariably
rewarded their husbands by great affection
aud devotion. The price of one of these
beauties of nature at Gallsbat was from
twenty to forty dollars.

ssTHEY say"

'They say''-Ah! well, suppose they do;
But can they prove the story true
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought.
Why count yourself among the ''they"
Who whisper what they dare not say
''They sayn-But why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse
No good can possibly accrue
For telling what mnv be untrue
And Is it not a nobler plan,
To speak Of all the best You cln2
''They say''-WeI, ifit should be so,
Why need you tell the tale of woe!
VIII it the bitter wrong redress,
Or make one pang of sorrow less
VIII it the eTTing one restore,
HencefOrth to ego and sin no more 2"
''They say''-Oh! pause and look within
See how thine heart inclines to sin
Watch, lest in dark temptations hour
Thou, tOo should'st sink beneath its power !;
Pity the frail, weep DER the fall,
But speak Ofgood OF not at all.

Saturday Night.

How many kiss has been given-how

Butler and Nelson.

"Maek" writes as follows to the Cincin
natl Commercial
There have been rumors in this city, for
a few days, of a contemplated duel between
Butler and Nelson, growing out Of angry
words about the Alta Velt letter. What
took place in the Senate yesterday is already
before the public how a resolution was Of
fered to censure Nelson for saying that he
''held himself responsible here or else
where" &c and how Nelson was asked 10
explain what be meant, and frankly explain
ed that he meant what he said, which left
the matter precisely where it stood before
that is, if Butler wants satisfaction he
can have it. In private convers alton, Mel
son is much more explicit. He says he
had been compelled to sit and listen to But
ler's bullying long enough, and that he took
advantage of the Alta Vela controversy
to tell him that he wouldn't do so any lon
ger. A friend asked him if intended to pro-
woke fight with Butler, to which be
promptly replied that he ''meant to fix it 50
that if Butler wanted fight he could have
it, Nelson is as quiet and inoffesive sort
of man as you'll meet with in a days trav-
Ell. There is nothing of the braggart or bull
ly about him. No trace of the Southern
chivalry in his manner or bearing.
