" Stop chewing tobacco.

VI A wife, says MIR. Lofty, is woman
that belongs to a man. She is pretty little
creature made to tickle his fancy, his vanity and
his self-love, and to sing, laugh and dance
through his otherwise dull habitation. But she
must see, mind you, that the house is kept in
order; that the dinner is we'll cooked that the
buttons and the hose are all right and that no
thing in the whole domestic economy is wrong.
In short, wife is pleasant sort of universal
servant to her husbands will and pleasure-a
most agreeable provision made by the Creator
for mans good.
And now hear the response Of Mr.. Common
Sense:
Nay; but wife is given neither for toy nor
for servant, but for steadfast friend.
She is, indeed, a fount of joy and pleasure
such as to true heart there IL not elsewhere on
earth. She is the brightener of his house, and
the wise and careful manager of her family
but she is more than all that-she is his conf
dant, his adviser, his ever-sympathizing FRIEND
his able and most tender consider, his strength
even when his courage droops.
She is the voice of Gods love and comfort t.
him as he tolls and struggles through the world
All this is what wife is, if she answers t.
her Makers ideal.

Ii Planchette is the name of an cleo

pings and is creating no little interest and ex-
citemcnt wherever introduce ed. 1t consists of a
heart-shaped piece of wood on castors, with o
lead pencil run through it. Parties using it
place the tips of their fingers on it, and as soon
as it is sufficiently charged it perambulates on
the paper on which it is placed, answering any
question that may be asked it in the most facile
and surprising way. The handwriting is not
very good, but can be easily read. 1t is Won

KNOXVILLE HosPIrAL.-Some enter
prising and charitably disposed persons,
citizens of our community, have for long
time meditated upon the necessity of build
ing hospital in our city, where those
who are so unfortunate as to become sick
and unable to care for themselves, may be
cared for in humane and christian-like
manner. We are glad to know that after
persevering so long and so nobly, they have
at last been warranted in commencing the
work. The grounds whereOn the hospital
is to be built are situated eastof the East
Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, and are
we'll adapted to the purpose. The build
ing will, we learn, be of brick, the main
part of the building to be seveuty-fve feet
long by 25 wide, and two stories high
n n We understand that the con-
tract for the masonry has been let, and
bids are being received for the carpenters
work:-Knoruille Whig.

" The ladies will love you better.

Radical rule has been an expensive lux
ury to the Taxpayers of this country. In
a speech at Syracuse, N. Y, the other
day., the Hon. A. J. Rogers said:
"During the seventy-three years our
government existed, previous to the late
war, its total expenditures were less. than
fourteen hundred millions of dollars.
Within the past three years, since the con-
clusion of the war, the Radical party has
expended over sixteen hundred millions of
dollars! Two hundred millions more in
three years, and that ia time of profound
peace, than the entire cost of the govern
ment for seventy-three years previous to
the rebellion. What do the taxpayers
think of thisl And this same party asks
to be continued in power !"

Distinguished Arrivals at

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Ang 2l.-
General Robert E. Lee arrived last night,
and was received with great enthusiasm.
Governor Pickers, Governor Letcher, Ex-
Secretary of the Interior Stewart, Gener-
ais Echols and j. r. Anderson, and Hon.
Sartain Stephens, are among the late ar
rivals. Secretary Browning has engaged
a cottage, and will arrive Saturday. Hon.
Alex. HI. Stephens, Generals Ewell and
Longstreet will arrive tomorrow night.
A large number of railroad officials and
directors are here. General G.. 7. Beau
regard, President of the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railway,
Colonel Fontaine, President Va. Central,
Colonel Buford, President Richmond and
Danville, Captain Louis thinner, Presi-
dent Baltimore and Ohio, are here discuss
ing railroad matters. General Rosecranz,
Minister to Mexico, is at Rockbridge
Alum. He has secured cottage here
and will arrive to night. It is pretty
generally understood that the meeting of
General Lee and Rosecranz has in it mat
ters of great Importance to the country
Rosecranz was outspoken on the cars in
regard to his mission. A grand masque-
rade ball will be given Thursday night in
honor of the distinguished visitors.
The Lynchburg Virginian learns
through persons who travelled on the train
with General Rosecranz on his way to the
White Sulphur Springs, Tuesday, that
the object of his visit is to consult with
General Lee and other Confederate lead
ers in regard to the PRONUNCIATION of their
views as to the fnality of the abolition of
slavery. He thinks that declaration by
them that they regard the freedom of the
negroes as final and uralterable; that
they are opposed to attempting to restore
slavery, and that the people of the South
accept the. fact of emancipation honestly
and in good faith, would have good eff
feet against Radicalism at the North.

SALT RIVER No. 2.
THE STEAMSHIP DISUNIoN!

T'other day while retiring to shades of re-
Till another campaign should Wipo out our
defeat,
We met sailing down, with gay banners
displayed,
The motley Grant crew, just from Salt
rivers shade.
/ The river was charming-the scenery fair,
And to our dropping hearts most inviting
the air!
As the vessel approached US in splendol and
pride,
With its sails gaily Get as it moved on the
tide,
We knew years before we had seen her de-
part,
With her 16 star flag and most heavy at
heart,
Swearing vengeance, and vowing anathemas
strong
'Gainst the Catholic church and the "whols
foreign throng,"
And a veteran declared that long, long years
before,
Other tips had she made, to and from the
same shore
That gallant "Old Hickory forced her 10
60,
With her Coffin Hand Bills and her mea-
sures of woe,
Such as Tariffs and tares and Nick Bid
dies bank,
All old tory measures, repulsive and rank.
On another occasion, in mourning arrayed,
He saw her nov off with her Hartford
CooKADE,
And the crew, a long wailing of sorrow gave
out,
When they heard our glad people DER New
Orleans shout,
For their friends, soundly thrashed, were then
leaving our shore,
As when Yorktown had finished them some
years before.
The Radical ship was most stately to view,
And Haunted her streamers of red, white
and blue,
In other respects the display WAS = blind
To dazzle the eye andlead captive the mindl
IT'S true, on the stern in gilt letters, we saw,
Her name was ''THK USIoN"-S grand name
to draw;
But by careful inspection we read just be-
fore,
The null we perceived had been federal blue,
new.
She had stopped for repairs in an African
bay
And failing in tow had used tCOOL by the
way.
They had taken on board many more of the
race,
As Nature arrays them in beauty and
grace
Their ucoOL was exquisae-their teeth
superine,
The lips were so rich, and the nose aq,tiLine.
