Noble Spectacle.

One Of the most glorious intellects the
world has yer produced Roman philo-
sopher, whose grand genius was only
equalled by his sublime morality-uttered
this beautiful remark "a noble soul suffer.
ing the seyerest strokes of fortunes without
a mumur, is a spectacle which the gods
themselves must look upon with admira-
ton" With what admiration, then, must
we regard the people Of the South, who, be-
ing conquered after struggle which had
no parallel in history, are now suffering the
stings of outrageous fortune with such sub
lime resignation Every Southern paper
that we take up tells the same sad story Of
poverty, distress. and utter ruin. Neither
the pages of history nor the fiction of poe
try exhibit such awful and wide spread
destitution. People accustomed to indulge
every luxurious whim, to dispense a warm
and boundless hospitality, to be surround
ed by r0ops of obsequious menials are now
reduced to a state of actual starvation
But not murmur escapes their famishing
lips. They suffer but they do not repiue.
They may die. but they do not despair, for
they are descendants of the heroes of Eu-
taw, Yorktown and New Orleans,
Astuated by no generous feeling towards
the conquered, the merciless miscreants
who control the Government continue their
ubiquitous work of subjugating the rebels,
infamous laws UNANIMOUSLY carried out.
Not satisfied with crushing them to the
earth, they now seek to place them under
the irresponsible tyranny of their former
slaves. All history does not show so hide
| Gus, so damnable a crime as this. The Ro-
mans, at the height of their tyranny, with
! a PROSTATE world at their feet, never at
tempted anything SO mOnstrous. y. 1t
was left to the party Of great moral ideas ,
to conceive this villafny. But it can never
be. 1t is not in the harmony of things
Rather than submit to this last degradation
let the people of the South again appeal to
arms, aud we cannot believe that e just
God will suffer them to perish. The no.
BILE blood of the Cavaliers is no! turned to
water.
The chief glory of America comes from
the South. A Jefferson wrote our Declara-
ton of Independence. A Southern Wash
ington led our armies to victory, South
ern statesmen made our Government What
it was, Northern demagOgues have made il
what it is.
The present darkness and distress which
covers the Southern land like a pail mus
pass away. In the midst Of their woe le

INsURANCE.- You can insure against
almost every variety of loss nowadays
fire, water, accident and loss of life. Your
horse, also, can enjoy the inestimabls priv
ilegs Of holding ''pOlicy" (subjeot only
to the Constitution of the United Statesl
issued by the Horse Insurance Company.
Human ingenuity is exercising itself to
invent new and novel forms Of insurance.
Recently we hear of company organized
to insure against loss of silver spoons, and
other property, by burglars. Insurance az
fOrds abundant scope yet for ingenious
minds to bustle in. There might be the
"Bummers' Insurance Company" to in

or wounds without cause" With poll

Mr.. Impunity invited him.
How would the Lovers Assurance
Company" do? Lovers need assurance as
a general thing. Insure them against get
ting the 'mitten" When they pop the stu
pendously momentOus questions, aud there
would be less hesitation in approaching the
point. Then how soothing it would be to
ones lacersted feelings. on being refused,
to receive on his policy twenty-five dollars
a week until he recovered, and what a con-
ISOLATION TO his friends to collect three OF
FIVE thousand dollars in case the rebuff
struck in and resulted fatally.
The "Connubial Insurance Company"
might insure q tranquil and blissfuI life
to those contemplating matrimOny. Upon
consideration, though. We are afraid that
company of that description would hardly
be practicable. They would at least re-
! quire capital sufficient to carry them
through to the millennium, before they could
/ hope to realize from the fpeculation. The
combined assurance companies of the world
couldn't stand the draw there would be on
such an organization.
"Base Ball Insurance Company would
not be bad idea. There are several thou
sand base ballists in the country, and they
could support an insurance company very
handsomely. Compensation for broken
limbs, sprained ankles and confused faces
would render the game less hazardous in a
pecuniary sense.
You might insure candidates to be cleo
ted, old maids to get married, habituaI
drunkards to get sober, petroleum sPeeula-
tors to strike oil, whisky inspectors to get
rich (for the smallest possible Considsra-
ton, prize fighters to reach virlHoRs cid

Manners tell the man. and they at times
tell him a very urfaIteriDg tale-one that
be isn't over-fond of carrying about among
his friends. Manners dignity, ennObie and
sweeten life, or they debase and demOral-
ize it. The man who swears prOfanes his
manhood, abuses his mother tongue, and
insults the father that paid his schooling.
The lady who is coarse, cross, rePelling,
shows that her sex has been increased one
too many. A scavenger may be gentle
map, and a man of wealth and so-called po-
stion a boOr. Real ladies and gentlemen
are commonly born so, and are rarely per-
verted. Accordingly they are found in all
stations of life. Those born otherwise are
equally distributed broadcast, and rarely
change their nature. Manners, we repeat,
tell; and they tell broadside "sockdolo-
gers" sometimes.

The Exact Truth.

Two young masons were building brick

OF them, in placing brick, discovered that
it was little thicker on one side than on
the other.
His companion advised him to throw it
out. 1t will make your wall untrue, Ben.'

"My mother" replied his companion,
''taught me that truth, and ever SO little

"Oh," said Ben, CHATS all very we'll !;

doing So"
"Very true but you make your wall
tell a lie and have somewhere read that
lie in ones work, like lie in ones char

bring harm if not ruin"
"I'll risk it in this csse," answered Ben;
and he worked away. laying more bricks
and carrying the wall up higher, till the
close of the day, when they quit work and
went home.
The mex: morning they went to resume
their work, when behold, the line had
wrought out the result of all lies The
wall getting little slant from the untrue
brick, had become more and more untrue
as it got higher, and at last in the night,

Men and Women.

Providence has so made the sexes
that women, like children, cling to men +;
lean upon them for protection, care and
love look up to them as though they were
their superior in mind and body. They
make them the suns of their system, and
they and their children revolve around
them. Women, therefore, who have good
minds and pure hearts want men to lean up
on. Think of their reverencing a drunk
ard, fool, liar or a libertine. If a man
would have a woman do him homage, he
must be manly in every sense; true gen
tleman, not after the Chesterfield school,
but polite because his heart is full of kind
ness to all one who treats her with res
pect, even Difference, because she is a wo-
man who never coudescends to say silly
things to her; who brings her up to his
level if his mind is above hers, who is am
Bilious to make his mark in the world,
whether she encourages him or not and
who is always pleasant and considerate, but
always keeping his place as the man at the
head, and never losing it. Such deport
ment, with noble principles, a good mind
energy and industry, will win any woman
In the land who is worth winning.

Teach Them the Art of Cooking
and HOuSekeeDing.

IF our observation is correct
one, the young ladies of our days
are learning too much of the fine
arts, but not enough of the practical
art Of CO oking and housekeeping in
general. aas tlsr
It's very praiseworthy if a young
lady knows how to play the piano,
sing, dance, skate, write beautifully,
is well versed in history, speaks for
eign languages, and is fair in draw
ing and emoroidering, for kno Wedge
is power; but to young ladies who
hope to get married, (and how many
of them does not?) much knowl-
edge is weakness without know
ing how to make a nice loaf of
bread. prepare good meal, without
much waste, and keep with ease a
systematic hous ,hold they are able,
but not in their proper sphere.
What every young lady ought to
know first, is cooking and house
keeping in practical manner.
Playing the piano, singing. dan
cling, skating, drawing, quoting his
tory correctly, and the like, will not
appease the hunger Of the husband,
and save him from the cruel waste
in the kitchen and the contumacy of
servants, that depending mistress
is subjected to, and which gradu-
ally undermines the happiness Of
the couple.
Two thirds of the unhappy mar
riages and failures in business could
easily be traced to the wife's igno-
rance in regard to cooking and
housekeeping.
Most young men marry because
they want home of their own, and
if their chosen help-mates do not
know how to make that home all
attractive one, disappointment over
whelms the husbands tenderest ex
pectations, and with such disap-
pointment preying on his spirit, sue
cess in life becomes precarious the
