TIE DYING NEVER WEEP. 1t is a
striking fact that the dying never weep.
The circle of sobbing, agonizing hearts
around draws not tear. Is it that he is
dissolution2 That cannot be for he ask $
father hand, as if to gain strength in the
mortal struggle, and leans on the breast Of
mother, brother or sister, with still con-
scfous Affection; and just before expiring,
at eve, after long days converse with the
angel of summer he says, to his oldest
brother the last audible ''good night" of
earth-kiss me, kiss
1t must be because the dying have reach
ed point too deep for our earthly crying
and weeping. They are face to face With
higher and holier things-with the Father
in Heaven and his angel throng, led on by
the Son himself, and what are griefs of a
mourning, tears of dying farewell, he it
that they are shed by the dearest OR earth,
in that vision bright Of immortal life and
everlasting reunion.

An Economical Wedding.

The New York correspondent of the
Rochester Union says:
" New York has long been celebrated for
magnificent entertainments, and especially
for her weddings and wedding breakfasts.
On such occasions the guests, unwilling to
be outdone by the host in liberality, some
times vie with each other 10 presenting the
bride elect with costly presents of every
description. One, two, or three rooms, as
the case may be, are set apart at every
fashionable wedding, where the presents
are displayed and commented upon by the
invited guests. 1t has been frequently
suggested by the more prudent members of
society that these offerings be entirely sup
pressed, and that none but the immediate
relations should commemorate the day in
this wise; but the idea has met with no
favor, till of late, when one OF the Murray
Hill princes took most determined step
towards reform. AS it is the only case of
the kind on record, description of the
wedding may not be uninteresting.
"Several hundred invitations were Civ
en-, and at the appointed hour the parlors
were crowded nearly to suffocation. The
bride was attired in white marcelline silk
of most scant proportions her veil con-
sisted of one breadth of tulle, caught in Der
comb at the back of her hair; no flowers
were worn except a very minute bunch in
front of her dress. The groom was attired
with like simplicity, thereby attracting
considerable attention. No refreshments
were offered to the wearied guests, who
gladly babe adeu and returned to their
homes. There was false hope raised in the
minds of few, on seeing large bride cake
in one corner, that glass of wine and
piece of cake might be served but the H.
fusion was dispelled on questioning the
waiter lone only being in attendance, who
informed them he had instructions not to
cut it The presents were spread upon a
small table, and created not a little aston
ishment. One five dollar gold piece was
laid upon card bearing the inscription,
From your ahectionate grandfather. a
coin of half this value was presented by the
brothers and sisters testified their affection
by the presentation of gold dollar each.
" AS might be expected, the guests de-
parted early. One lady was unfortunate
enough to have ordered her carriage to
call FOR her at midnight. She saw all de-
part, and then seated herself to wait pa
tiently its coming. After while savory
smell of oysters, coffee, etc., came floating
on the air. With some confusion of man
ner the members of the family one by one
disappeared, and, after some delay, the
host hesitatingly invited her to partake of
some refreshments. She declined, and the
family retired to discuss the supper, leav-
Ing her to await her carriage alone in the
parlor ~

Frauds In the Bounty Department.

AAoUUo Al VIC OVuAty 0OV1A emSAt
Rumors concerning enormous frauds in
connection With the payment of the boun-
ties of colored troops, which have been cur
rent for number of days, have assumed a
definite shape. The amount stolen from
the treasury by these operations will reach
several hundred thousand dollars. The
parties engaged in it are two or three
firms in the second auditors Office, treasury
department, the bureau of colored troops,
and the freedmen's bureau. The process,
in the main has been to change the muster
rolls and forge certificates, so as to show
that the colored soldiers entered on original
rolls as slaves were free, and then in the
final payment those collecting the bounty
received three hundred dollars for each
name so changed, instead of one hundred,
which the bounty law gave to slaves. In
some cases papers have been found wholly
fictitious in their character, no such persons
as those named ever having been in service.
The swindle was first discovered in the Sec
ond auditors Office, and one prominent
official there undertook to trace it out.
Gen. Scho6eld and Secretary McCulloch
were made aware of what was suspected,
and at the proper time all the offices in
which the transactions were carried on were
closed, and officers placed in charge to
overhaul all papers and investigate the
matter fully.

More Tariff-More Taxes.

The Milwaukee Ne,os remarks: "Near-
ly column and half OF our Geographic
columns were occupied yesterday with the
provisions of the bill reported by the house
committee of ways and means for increas>
ing the present tariff.
"A happy opportunity is now presented
for those republican newspapers which pre-
tend opposition to protective tariffs, to de-
monstrate the weight of their influence
with their party leaders. If there ever is
to be time when this infamous system of
plundering the people can be arrested by
influence inside the republican party, that
time is before the adjournment of the pres
ent congress, and while this bill is pending
if the tariff tax is not reduced or limited to
its present dimensions by the republican
party on the eve of a presidential election,
nothing can be hoped for from that party
after the presidential election.
''The bill reported intends an increase of
the revenue in no particular. 1t is de-
signed to increase the prices of articles al
ready practically denied admission to the
country and to decrease the revenues of the
government. Its passage will tax the peo>
pie of Wisconsin alone some millions of
dollars, without increasing the revenues
from this state dollar"

Grants Trip to the West.


The Milwaukee Ne,os says: 1.-The tel
egraph announces the departure of General
GRANT from Washington City to the
West, ostensibly on official business. The
public will remember that General GRANT
is candidate for the Presidency, and may
be uncharitable enough to ascribe the trip
to electioneering purposes or necessities
The public will also be likely to recollect
that certain other famou military chief
tain, identified with two glorious wars, and
having the laurels of one still fresh and
green upon his brow, once made similar
trip, under similar circumst~ noes, and for
similar purposes. Its results are not Who'll
ly forgotten. General SCoTT was enthu-
siastically received everywhere" as Gener-
al GRANT will be, in the language of par
tisan press. General SCoTT was feted,
feasted, fattered and called on for speeches
and responses, wherever he went. To
speak or remain silent was ruin to General
SCoTT and to do either will be certain de-
structlon to General GRANT The result
Of General SCoTr's trip might have
warned wiser man than GRANT against
the danger of its repetition. The elections
in November will complete the parallel,
and place the seal Of popular condemnation
upon the overweening vanity of both. )"

Couldn't Find the Verdict.
From the Richland Banner


A friend of ours sends us the following,
and vouches for the truth of the statement:
At recent session of one of the courts in
South Carolina, an entire negro jury was
empanneled. A case was brought before
them-the witnesses examined, and the at
torneys made their respective arguments.
The judge, after laying down the law and
reca pltulating the testimony, gave the pa
pers into the hands of the foreman, an in
telllgent looking darkey, with instructions
that as soon as they found verdict, to
bring it in without delay.
Thirty minutes or more elapsed, when
the jury returned, headed by the foreman,
and stood before the judge
As the foreman appeared to hesitate, the
judge inquired
mr.. Foreman, have you found the ver-
diet p
"No, Massa Judge, we haben't found
EN-" replied the ebony juryman:
Its very plain case" said the judge.
Cant help it, massa, couldn't see it, !"
replied ebony again.
"On what grounds" inquired the
judge:
1--WE didn', look into de grounds, Massa
Judge replied the foreman de ossifer
took US out into de grounds, but he took US
into a room and locked us in, an tole US
when we found de verdict he would left us
out. So we began to find de verdict, an
searched cherry nook, corner, crebis, an
cherry ting dere was iii dat room, but we
foun' no verdict-no noffin OBJ de kline dar. !"

And OF many young mowers, who bundle out

The charms of their straw beds scorning-

But, between me and you, il is all untrue
Believe not word they utter;
To no milkmaid alive does the finger of Five
Bring beaux-or even bring butter
The poor, sleepy cows, iftold to arouse,
Would do so, perhsps, in horn-ing
But the sweet country girls, would then show
their curls
At Five o'clock in the morning7
1t may not be wrong for the man in the song
Or the moon-if anxious to settle,
To kneel in wet grass, and pop, but alas!
What if he popped down on q nettle
For how could he see what was under mis- knee
If, in spite of my friendly warning,

It's all very well such stories to tell,
But if l were maid, all forlorn-ing,
If a lover should drop, in the clover, to pop,
At Five O'Clock in the morning;

dog, feelirg certain that something or other
must eventually give way, held on until he
got his chop off of PEBBLE calf, who went
home half a pound lighter, while Merri-
weather asserts to this day that they had to
draw. all the dogs teeth to get the flesh out
of his mouth, Sfor he had an awful hold
for such SIN II animal"
Of course Merriweather's daughter heard
about it, and she was SO mad that she never
gave the old man any peace until he went
around the next day to see PEBBLES about
it. PEBBLES looked pale as ghost from
loss of blood and beef, and he had whole
piece OF muslin wrapped around his off leg.
Merriweather said:
"Peeb, | m very sorry about that muss
last night, but if you didn't behave like a
raving maniac, I'm loafer. I've never
seen such deliberate ass since l was born.
W hats the meaning of it anyway p
u was trying to ask you to let me marry
your daughter" groaned PEBBLES.
"Great-what You didn't mean to say
well, hope | may be shot. Well, if you
amt regular old wooden headed idiot
thought your mind was wandering. Why
didn't you say it right out? Why, of
course you can have her. I'm glad to get
rid of her. Take her, my boy 60 it, go
it, and I'll throw in a lot of first class
blessings into the bargain.
And PEBBLES looked ruefully at his defec-
tive leg, and wished that he had not been
such fool, but he went out and married
the girl, and lived happily with her about
two months, and at the end of that time he
told confidential friend that he would
willingly take more trouble, and undergo a
million more dog bites to get rid of her.

Phillips on Grant.

WENDELL PHILLIPS, the man who
gives brains to the Republican party" and
who, in addition, tells most of the plain
truth that comes from that quarter, speaks
as follows in the Anti,.Slave,y Standard of
reconstruction, On GRANT, and other sub
jccts: aa es
Seven States have been re.admitted
and will soon take their places. No one
claims that they are ready or fit for places
in Congress. But the Grant party needs
them. We sink principle and risk the ne
gro IN order to elect Grant. Mark you,
he's so popular that there's hardly need to
count the votes. Still, we must risk and
peril all the results of the war to ensure
the election of this marvelously popular
soldier! And so Mr.. Greeley and the In
dependent wheel into line. Every politi-
clan must now wear gag until November.
Expect no truth from any man until the
vote is declared. How can we so frame
our government that New York Journal
list can afford to tell US the truth to-day of
Grant as frankly as he does of Franklin
Pierce? VIII the abolition of the Presi>
dency abolish the quadrennial gags, this
intermittent hypocrisy If SO, we advo-
cate it. Better have slower and clumser
government, if that will allow editors to
keep conscience, and Senators to be hon
est men"

Soldiers Reprimanded,
On the 5th inst, the Montgomery Gala

Ou the 9Th inst, the Montgomery (Ala.
Advertiser contained the following:
"We are requested by the soldiers on
duty at this place to state that at the mig
ger, carpet bag, and scalawag meeting, held
at the Capitol on Saturday night, the SOL
diers gave three groans for Grant, three
cheers for Mcclellan, and three cheers for
Andrew johnson. They were given by the
soldiers with hearty good will, and rolled
from the Capitol to the Artesian basin,
We are also requested by these soldiers to
state that any assertion contrary to this is
base falsehood. The soldiers say they
are white men, and have no love for car
pet baggers and scalawags."
Colonel Shepard, commanding at Mont
gomery, on the following day issued an
order reprimanding the soldiers and the
editor of the Advertiser, and saying, ut is
the duty Of soldiers to abstain from any ex-
preston of political opinions as to persons
or parties" 5a 4.a
Probably, had the soldiers given cheers
for Grant, and groans for the President
and General Mcclellan, Colonel Shepard
would not have supposed it to be his duty
to give them lecture He will do we'll to
demonstrate with Jacobin officers who are
neglecting their business to travel about
the country and make stump speeches in
behalf Of the party in power. -f
The conduct Of the soldiers at Montgom-
cry shows what enthusiasm Grants name
excites in the army. 1t shows also the es-
innate which the soldiers in the South
place upon the reconstruction" infamy
they are there to enforce. Did they risk
their lives to sustain what they execrate !?
