PERFECT REST.

o, like unto storm-tossed barqus
Is my torn heart from thee away,
And like unto a refuge ark
Is thy true heart TO me for aye!
For with thee my troubled soul
Is ever filed with perfect rest;
Content it seeks no other goal,
Where it is then supremeIy bIest.
To list thy soft and tender tone
To see ttat heaven-bOrn smile break forth
To feel those arms arou me thrown,
Seems too mnch bliss to be Of earth;
But when those lips are pressed to mine.
Beneath those eyes bewitching light,
'Tis then quaF Loves rosy wine,
And heaven itself beams on my sight.
Upon thy breast alone my heart
Can lose its keen and bitter pain,
And for a time forget the smart
OF hopless owe poured out in vain.
Yet when with THEE still must feel
Ny soul to be supremely bIess;
And with thee, cen in woe or veal,
Know all the bliss Of perfect rest!

On the morning Of the 8th inst, at
Blountville, in Sullivan county, in this State,
a dreadful tragedy was enacted. While
robbed of reason through the effects of
whisky, NJ Rhea, a young man of good con
nections, shot his wife. After being wounded
the lady ran out of the house and was pur-
sued by her frenized husband, who, gaining
the doorway, stumbled and fell to the
ground in the fall, one barrel of the pistol
was discharged accidentally, the ball taking
effect in Rhea's body, and produced almost
instant death. 1t is thought that the wife
will recover.

How to be Miserable.

Sit by the window and look over the way
to your neighbor's s excellent mansion which
he has recently built and paid for and fitted
out.
"Oh that were rich mani
Get angry with your neighbor and think
you have not friend in the world. Shed
tear or two, and take a walk IN the burial
ground, continually saying to yourself:
"When shall | be buried here 2
Sign a note for your friend and never for
get your kindness, and every hour in the day
whisper to yourself: Il wonder if he will
ever pay that note ?'.
Think everybody means to cheat you.
Closely examine every bill you take, and
doubt its being genuine until you have put
your neighbOr to a great deal of trouble.
Put confidence in nobody, and believe every
man you trade with to be a rogue.
Never accommodate if you can possibly
help it.
Never visit the sick or the afflicted, and
never give a farthing to assist the poor.
Buy as cheap as you can and screw down
to the lowest mill Grind the faces and
hearts of the unfortunate.
Brood over your misfortunes, your lack
of talents, and believe that at no distant
day you will come to want Let the work
house be ever in your mind, with ali the
horrors Of distress and poverty.
Follow these recipes strictly, and you will
be miserable to your hearts cOntent-if we
may so speak-sick at heart and at variance
with the world Nothing will cheer or en-
courage you, nothing viii throw gleam of
sunshine or a ray Of warmth into your heart

WE DENY IT.-Gen. Thomas, command
ing the Department of the Cumberland, in
his recent report to-Gen. Grant thus sums
up the condition of affairs in this State:
ain Tennessee, where a majority of the
late rebels are disfranchised, they and sym
pathizers with them have a hatred for the
State authorities, which Is uucOncealed and
aggressive, and In localities where the dis
franchised element IS strong, there Is a spirit
Of persecution towards those in sympathy
with the authorities towards those who
recognize the political rights of the enfran-
chised negroes, and the negroes themselves,
especially, it shows itself by contempt for
all law, and violence is openly talked Of
The editorials of the public press are
such as to create the most intense hatred in
the breasts of ex-rebels and their sympa
thizers The effect of this is to cause dis
turbance throughout the State, by melting
the rufianly portions of this class of citizens
to murder, rob and maltreat white Unionists
and colored people in localities where there
are no United States troops stationed. The
local authorities often have not the will, and
more often have not the power to suppress
or prevent these outrages."
We deny the above statements. Gen.
Thomas knows full we'll that nine-tenths of
the late rebels are among the most peace
able and law-abiding persons in this State.

OF My BEE.-BrownsviIIe Haywood
county, has Bee that stings some folks to
the quick once a week. From the Bee of
the 2Oth inst, we clip the following on
" universal suffrage"
We see from our exchanges, that this
question is just now engrossing the atten-
ton of both parties, and especially in Ten
nessee is it being agitated. We have but
little to say on the subject We are not in
the slightest degree responsible for the pres
ent deplorable state of affairs. We never
disfranchise, nor enfranchIse anybody, and
do not propose to endorse any party that
has DONE EITHER.
We are for white mans sufrage-nothing
more, nothing less.
Radicalism may pirate and howl until
Judgment Gay, about the vested rights of
" Africa; but that won't affect our views of
the matter. Tell US, ye super-lOil whelps
who authorized you to disfranchise the
white man of Tennessee, and enfranchise
the negro
Scouudrels you stole from US our birth
right, robbed US while we were absent, as
true white men should have been, battling
for what we deemed just and righteous
cause, and we do not now propose to BEG

by theft. You may oppress and grind US
down Gas we know your cOwardly souls
would desire to do, so long as you can with
safety, to your miserable selves until the
end Of time, but We will never forfeit self
respect by becoming suppliants to any of
your kind Do you understand that We
are white men, born free and never convicted
of crime rendering US infamous by the
laws of our State, and therefore have no
need of pardon at the hands of man. and
you may as well learn now that we will
never degrade ourselves by guaranteeing
the receivers of stolen goods, an uhirter-
rupted, perpetual possession Of the same,
and until you show US your authority for
fiIching from the white men of Tennessee,
rights inherited by them, we will continue
to brand you as political thieves and God
forsaken wretches, with whom decent gen
tleman cannot come In contact, and remain
clean
