LEAP YEAR.-The year 1868 is Leap
Year, as possibly some of our readers
have already discovered, This Is the
year OF great privilege TO the girls,
bless them; year of Jubilee, to all
those poor, pining creatures whose very
souls have gone out in love, for years
past, after some great hateful man,"
and all to no purpose. Now, girls, is
your chance; this is the day of your
deliveranee, or at least it may be with
in the present year. Be up and doing
be active and energetic-and don't
trifle away the day of grace-don'tneg-
lect your blessed privilege. You
have the right to ''pop the question" to
any male hiped your please, and he
won't dare say nay. Then we say,
crack it to them. Confound their tardy
skins, if they won't propose while they
have the right to do so, you teach them
a lesson that will be warning for al
time to come.

Mr.. GOUGH'S RECOVERY.-The fol-
lowing incident is worthy of being Of
ten repeated, as an encouragement to
labor for moral or religious reform. A
warm heart and wise tongue may o.
vercome the most formidable obstacles.
Rev. T. L. Cuyler tells the story:
'On a certain Sabbath evening, some
twenty years ago, a reckless i'll dressed
young man was idly lounging under
the elm-tres5 in the public square of
Worcester. He had become wretch
ed Waif on the current Ofsin. His days
were spent in the waking remorse of
the drunkard his nights were passed
in the bulfooneries Of the ale house.
'A5 he sauntered along, out of hui
NOR with himself and with all man
kind, a kind voice saluted him. A
stranger laid his hand on his shoulder,
and said, in cordial tones: 'Mr. G.,
go down to our meeting at the town.
hall tonight A brief conversation
followed, SO winning in its character
that the reckless youth consented to go.
He went; he heard the appeals there
made. With tremulOus hand he sign
ed the pledge of total abstinence. By
Gods help he kept it, and keeps it yet.
The poor boot crimper who tapped him
on the shouIder-good Sol StrattOn-
has lately gone to heaven. But the
youth he saved is to-day the foremost
ofreformers on the face of the globe.
Methinks, when listen to the thunders
of applause that greet J. B. Cough on
the platform of'Exeter Hall or the A
cademy of Music, I am hearing the
echoes of that tap on the shoulder, and
of that kind invitation under the an

THE NEED OF A FREEDMEN's b.
REAU.-We give the following article
from the Richmond Enquirer as illus
trating the Meet ofa Freedmen's Bureau
in the South. The incident is, we sup
pose, one of ten thousand similar ones,
of daily occurrence in that section:
a gentleman from one of the neigh
boring counties. who desired to obtain
a number of able-boGied negro lab0rers
for his plantation, visited Richmond
to procure them, having learned that
there. were hundreds of unemployed
blacks lounging idle about the city
The morning after his arrival he was
directed to one Of the localities where
large quantities of bread and soup are
daily distributed by the Frcedmen's Bu-
reau. He found a ragged, hungry
horde, of nearly FIVE hundred persons,
assembled to receive the usual supplies
of food. To his astOnishment, thesea
plicant5 for soup and bread were not
all women and children. He counted
one hundred and eight able-bodied
negro men, capable of performing ev-
cry variety of farm labor. There they
were with every conceivable variety of
vessel, waiting hours to be fed by the
Bureau. TO many Of these hulking
idIers he offered the highest wages
paid to agricultural laborers, and abun-
dant rations of.good, wholesome food.
But they all refused to enter his service,
alleging among other reasons, that they
'rere fed by the Bureau, and did not
acish By leaving Richmond to forfeit their
right to cote.

ARTLESS SIMPLICITY.-One OF the
sweetest incidents which we have
noticed for many day-and one which
shows the effect of early training, as
sisted by pure and undefiled imagi-
nation. 1t is thus related: A lady
visited New York city and saw on the
sidewalk ragged, cold AMI hungry
little girl, gazing wistfully at some OF
the cakes in show window. She stop
ped, and taking the little one by tho
hand, led her into the store. Though
she was aware that bread might be
better for the cold child than cake, yet
desiring to crafty the shivering and
forlorn one, she bought and gave her
the cakes she wanted. She then took
her to another place, where she pro-
cured her a shawl and other articles Cf
comfort, The grateful little creature
looked the benevolent lady full in the
face, and with artless simplicity, said,
"Are you Gods wife," Did the most
eloquent speaker ever employ words
| to 3 better advantage?

AN APOLOGY FOR DRUNKENNESS.
Thereby Showing its Good and Bad Ef-
fects.

Drunkenness has a legal and patriotic
tendency; because drunkards pay their
debtsaccording to law and furnish abun-
dant employmentfor lawyers and sher-
ifs, justices and constables; and they
also support the government generous
ly, by paying more excise than any oth-
er class of citizens.
Drunkenness promotes liberty and e.
quality; because it dispoSes the sub
jects oft tospurn all restraint humanand
divine; and brings down the proudest
gentleman to perfect level with the
greatest ruffian and renders their COM
pany equally agreeable and entertain
ing, as they are equally disposed to
pour out deluge of nonsense, billings
gate and blasphemy.
Drunkenness promotes legal science !;
because drunkards obtain an interest
ing knowledge Of criminal jurispru-
dence, and number of them study the
penal statutes in those legal seminaries,
commonly called jails and penitentia-
ries.
Drunkenness promotes domestic gov
ernment; for if you follow drunk
ard home, you will find him raging and
foaming; disappearing and abusing his
patient, industrious and miserable wife
and children, who stand before him
with fear and trembling, horror and
anguish, as silent as the grave and
as submissive as the slave chained to
the car.
Drunkenness is subservient to Orth-
odoxy and virtue; because drunkards
demonstrate the doctrine of human de-
pravity and degradation by argu
ments the most convincing and unan
swerable; and they display vice in al
attitude and dress the most OdiOus and
disgusting.
Drunkenness promotes religion il
-aQeral, and humanity in particular
y sog1e men have no religion un
becaus, 'a q stiff grog, and their re

Internal majesty, from long experience
has so much confidence in drunkard
that they will directly, or lndlrectly
render their families as miserable
possible, that he seldom interieres II
the business. And whenever a DRUNK
ard appears in any company, the de
mon on duty puts on his hat and leaSe
the room, as his presence is no longel
necessary.
Finally, drunkenness prevents tes
tamentary obligations and funera
mourning; because drunkards general
ly live their own heirs and die thei
own executors, and leave the worlt
with the consent of their friends anC
neighbOrs.
