at our breasts very rudely, and
clamorously asserting his presence.
He was not to be put to silence, and
so, for peace sake, we determined to
grant his request. AS if to try us,

thing of course a land flowing with
milk and honey. So determined to
''stand the hazard Of the die" we
filed off down the road to breakfast.
We found small farm house, in
habited by an old widow lady, y,whose
two sons had been killed in Virgin

full slaves, still managed to keep her
little farm in good order. Welcom-

though homely, meal, and, under

A CON FEssED NECESSITY.

The opposing views of Mr.. Boyden and
Mr.. Dewes, of North Carolina, expressed in
recent debate on the subject of arming the
"loyal portion of that State against the
other portion, illustrate a dilemma to which
the radicals are reduced with respect to all
the reconstructed States. On the one hand,
it devolves upon them to prove, by the in
trinsic and self-sustaining power of the gov
ernments which Congress has set up in the
South, their reiterated assertions that these
governments sprung from and are sustained
by the body Of the people. But, on the other
hand, these monstrous children of congress
sional usurpation appeal piteously for paren-
tai protection against the disguised
and indignant communities upon which
they have been thrust Moreover, this dilem-
ma is complicated with the danger which Mr..
Boyden-a radical, but not carpet-bag des-
perado-deprecated when he said " 1 warn
the House if arms are sent there, we will be
ruined. We can not live there, if we need
anything in the way of arms" Mr.. Dewes,
on his part, considered nothing but the logic
of violence on which the whole reconstruction
policy is founded. When asked if the recon-
structed governments could be maintained in
any other way than by the bayonet, he an
swered: We can, if you will give us arms to
keep down the rebels. If you want to sustain
those governments, you have got to give us
assistance"

WHAT Con Has CALLED PURE. Sixteen years
ago; Nine. sarti gave psychological lectures in New
YORK TO ladies'. One day there came to her rooms
mother, with twins ten years old. She asked
Nine. sarti to show to the children the wax model
OF female body, with which she lectured and to
give them her usual full description and expIaua-
ton OF every organ and its use. The womb was
represented IN the seventh month of pregnancy
with twins. When Nine. Sarti reached this she
was about TO pass it by without mention. "Stop,"
said the mother, 81 that is precisely what most
wish my little ones to see." Then, as the two
children looked with earnest wonder on the two
tiny bodies, hooked tightly in each others embrace
she said:
my dsrlings you know | have often told Won
how for nine long months you lay close together,
In that wonderful little Dom which Cod has made
in the mothers body. Now you can see Just how
il was. See how much mamma must love YOU
and how dreadful 1t would be if you did not love
each other" When Nine. Sarti told Us this story
the tears stood in her eyes, and she said in her.
