The Love OF the Beautiful

Place young girl under the care of a
kind-hearted, graceful woman, and she UNI
consciously to herself grows into grace
full lady. Place boy in the establish
ment ola thOrough-going, straightforward
business man, and the boy becomes a self
reliant, practical business man. Chill
dren are susceptible creatures, and cir
cumstances, scenes, actions always I'M
press. As you influence them, not by ar
bitrary rules, nor stern example alone,
but in thousand other ways that speak
through beautiful forms through bright
scenes, soft utterances and pretty pictures,
50 will they grow. Teach your children
then to love the beautiful. Give them a
corner in the garden for flowers, encour-
age them to put in shape hanging baskets,
allow them to have their favorite trees,
lead them to wander in the prettiest
woOdlets, show them where they can best
view the sunsets, rouse them in the morn
ing, not with the stern ''time to work."
but with the enthusiastic "see the beauti-
full sunrise~ buy for 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 go mile. Allow
them the privilege and they will make
your home beautiful.

A LOVE LETTER.
BY OWEN MEREDITH.

My love-my chOsen-but not mine send
My whole heart to thee in these words write
So let the blOtted lines, my souls sole friend,
Lie upon thine, and there be blest at night.
Irene, have loved you as men love
Light, music, O1or, beauty, love itself
Whatever is apart from and above
Those daily needs which deal with dust and pei
And had been content, without one thought
Our guardian angels could have blushed t.
know,
So to have lived and died, demanding nOught,
Save living, dying, to have loved you.
My widest wish was vassal to thy will
My haughtiest hope pehsoner on thy smile
Which did with light my barren being FILL
AS moonlight glorities some desert isle.
And so write to you, and write and write,
For the mere sake of writing to you, dear.
What can tell you that you know not! Night
Is deepening through the rosy atmosphere.
About the lonely easement of this room,
Which you have left familiar with the grace
That grows where you have been; and on the
gloom
l almost fancy can see your face.
Perchance l shall not ever see again
That face. | know that | shall never see
Its radiant beauty as | saw it then,
Save by this lonely lamp of memory.
With childhood's starry graces lingering yet
In the rosy orient OF young womanhood,
And eyes like woodland violets newly wet,
And lips that left their meaning in my blood.
Men cannot make but may enndble fate
BY molly bearing it. So let us trust
Motto ourselves, but God, and calmly wait
Loves orient out of darkness and of dust.
Farewell, and yet again farewell, and yet
Never farewell-if farewell mean to fare
Alone and disunited. Love hath set
Our days, in music, to the self-same air;
And shall feel, wherever we may be,
Even tho in absence, and an alien cline,
The shadow of the sunniness of thee,
lowering, in patience, through clouded time.
Farewell the dawn is rising, and the light
Is making in the East faint endeavor
To illuminate the mountain peaks. Good night,
Thine own, and only thine, my love, forever.

DEATH IN CHILDHooD.-Few things APP
pear SO very beautiful as young child in
its shroud. The little innocent face looks
sublimely simple and confident amidst the
terrors Of death. Crimeless and fearless,
the little mortal ha: passed alone under
the shadow, and explored the mystery of
dissolution. There is death in its sublim-
est, purest image; no hatred, no care for
the morrow, ever darkened that little face.
Death has come lovingly upon it; there is
nothing hard or cruel in its victory. We
do not fear for the lonely voyager, for the
child has gone, simple and trusting, into
the presence of its all wise Father. "Of
SUCH" we know sis the kingdom of heav-
en-"

The Carpet-Bagger.

The Brownsville, Tenn, Bee has the
following little essay on carpet-bagger :
Of all that is low and mean and ineffa-
bly, "cussed" on earth, in air, or in the
sea, the carpet-bagger is the lowest,
meanest, the "cussedest" save one-the
scallawag. This little institution we
must reserve for future article. The
carpet Dagger is a species of vermin with
which every country is more or less cursed
in extraordinary times like the present;
they come to the surface in hordes, and
as fast as they can steal money enough to
pay their passage they pour into the poor
oppressed South. They are like the scav-
engers which pick up the leavings of their
betters. Ready for anything that is cal
culated to support them. To pick pock-
ct or practice law, to cut purse or preach
a sermon, to teach negro school or 60 to
Congress, to sit on "a Judges bench or
steal mule. To rob a white man or
cheat negro. In their own country they
are too degraded to hold any rank among
decent people so they come here to herd
and consort with poor ignorant negroes
to delude, to pilfer from, to cheat and
swindle the negro. To rob, to pillage, to
plumber the oppressed South. Your car
pet-bagger is cross between the turkey
buzzard and the Jackal with a good spice
of hyena and heavy allowance of skunk
thrown in.

From the Union and Dispatch.l
BrOwnlOw'S Alarm.

The State Government of Tennessee is
at this time an anomaly. The Governor
has abandoned the Capital, and.is engaged
i'll editing local newspaper in East Ten
nessee, in the columns of which he is pro-
claiming war upon the people. The affairs
Of the State in the meantime are going to
ruin. A debt, doubled in the last three
years, is unproyided for. The interest
has not been paid and is over due. Hun
dreds of placemen have been appointed at
fat salaries. Not a child, black or white,
has received dime of the school fund.
As fast as the taxes are paid into the
Treasury, the money goes into the pockets
of the leeches that are sucking the life
blood of the people. Hundreds of thous-
ands went last year to the payment of the
militia to rob, annoy and pilfer a peace
full and unoffending people.
The Governor, nominally at the head of
affairs, but really at the foot and dragging
them with him to the lowest point Of de-
preston, has assembled the Legislature
to further vex and harrass an inofensive
people. He says rebellion is rampant in
Tennessee, and must be suppressed by
militia. He names no one offending
against the laws. The Confederate lead
ers now in the State are not only not war;
like, but are using such influence as they
possess to preserve the peace. General
Ewell, in Maury county, with his wooden
leg, straw hat and coarse pantaloons, is
tending his sheep, and looking to his gra-
naries and fences, and his hay and dairy.
The flashing eye that once cleaned in the
front Of battle, is mild in domestic quiet
ude and pastoral employments. Cheat
ham, the Navarro of Tennessee, is similar
ly employed in Coffee county. Forrest is
in Memphis, engaged in insuring the per-
petuation of life, in place of its destruc-
ton. Stewart, the man of courage and
science, is teaching our children to be up
right and useful. Bate, as amiable as he
is strong, is in Brownlow's courts from day
to day, expounding the law and appealing
to juries for mercy in behalf of the unfor-
tunate. John G. Brown, pleader for law
in and out of court. G. W. Gordon, the
same. John L. 4. Sneed, lawyer, gentle
man and patriot Bushrod johnson and
s. R. Anderson, inviting immigration and
enterprise, offering homes to the homeless
and laboring for the general welfare.
Marcus Wright, Alexander W. Campbell,
Ben. Hill, and others, all "rebel" Generals,
so-called, besides host of inferior officers.
These are the men that Brownlow fears,
men who are chiefly concerned to pay their
taxes to support Brownlow's Government,
and whose public acts, since the close of
the war, have been to repress violence and
cultivate peace. They are now for peace.
Some of them have visited Brownlow
within the past week in the interests of
peace. The rebels make no war and want
none. For every convicted criminal in
the State since the war closed, there are
: FIVE negroes and white radicals to one Gre
BEL" This statement we make, and chal-
.lenge Brownlow to dispute it.
