TnE "kuELuX."-A correspondent
writing: to Us from parson Brownlow's
dominions, speaks Of strange Society
bearing the above title, about whom
there is little OF nothing known, only
that they exist. They arc represent
cd as being very numerous in the
Northern States, and that they orici.
mated in the city Of Baltimore. We
quote below the language of our COR
respondent in respect to them
"W hat its object is, we do not know,
neither docs amy one, with WHOM |
have conycrscd. They arc Il terror to
negroes and Radicals, though they in
tcrrupt no one, who does not molcst
them. They ride at night, and often
times in the day, always dressed in
disguise. Their uniform consists Of a
cap, calico gown, aud calico pants.
Their horses are also covered, csrc-
claliy in their rambics during The
day. They arc doubtless very nu-
mcrous. Every young lady in this
section has made Il uniform for some
OF them, and some have made two or
three. They wear some Of the negroes
out occasionally, for impudcnt talk,

has given the negroes orders to shoot
down any Of the "liuxlux", if seen in

you call to mind q single instance of q
person who, having his own way to
make in the world, spent his time in
the streets, in billard-saloOns, around
hotels, or in any form of dissipation, to
succeed in a great degree in any enter
prisei Look over your list of friends
and acquaintances, and note their
course. Do you not find, upon exam
ination, that those who to-day are men
of influence and honor were the youth
who made the most of valuable time,
turning it to good account; and, on the
other hand, don't you find that those
who stood at the corners, with cigar
or pipei in their mouth, went from bad
to worse. and to ruin I? Sadly must the
answer be made-oh! that it were not
so--thsy have failed. Will you not
profit by the experience of others
Go net that way. Never be idle.
Every moment Of your time is = golden

subject. Be men. The call is for men.

There are many faithful witnesses iu

There are many faithful witnesses in
the Protestant church, testifyiug,
"clothed in sack-cloth," but the mass
are Loodecean. There is an outside
show about religion, but the dark wa
terS of spiritual death flow beneath.
Many Of the so-called revivals are but
spaSmodic efforts which indicate the
morbid state Of the body. The Bible
as book Of authority and rule Of faith, /,
has lost much of its power over the re-
ligiouS world and public mind. There
are Thousands who profess Christianity,
to whom you can prove nothing by the
Bible, except something which they
would believe whether it was in the
Bible or not. And yet they are good,
sincere christians! Christians IN their
hearts and infdels in their headd Sound
principles and correct manners 20 to-
gether. Truth is essential TO holiness.
Truth bears the same relation to holi-
ness that error does to crime and i'm
morality. Every duty has q truth, a
doctrine, under it. Every bad action
has an error right behind it. "Evil
communications corrupt good man
ners." "The corrupt cannot bring
forth good fruit" no more can morality
and virtue flourish under corrupt sys-
TENS ofreligion and morals. "The tree
is known by its fruit" The pulpit and
the press have to some extent become
mediums of error and aided 10 creating
this dark cloud that overshadows US.
Too large q portion of the secular press
wink at surrounding evil. They are
afraid that they will lose patronage.
The pulpit is ambiguous, sectarian and
mealy- -mouthed, fearing to tread on the
toe Of rich pew holder. But We hope
for better times, yet we tremble for the
future of our country. Terrible enc
mics are in our midst POpery, inf
deity, political intrigue, demagogueism
and degrading vices. Let us do what
We can to check the rolling tide.

EAn exchange boasts that it en-
ploys a type who can make the worst
muddle out Of manuscript copy of any
body in the business. A marriage
notice was given him to set up, which
read as follows:
Msrried-On August 1St, A. Conkey,
Esq, attorney-at-law, to Miss Euphs-
mia Virgins.
When it appeared in the the paper il
read thus:
Married-On August 1St, A. Donkey,
Esq. eternally at law with Miss Euphs-
mia PigginS.
We imagine that the last statement
would afford considerable employment

A STORMY NIGHT,

A dismal sound of beating rain

The heart Of Nature throbs with woe;
Her dreary tears unceasing flow.

No star-gleam In the clouded sky.

And streams reply with willing tone.

Dim, shadowy forms, in ghastly guiSe.

Their eyes gave forth hungry glare,
And yet were hopeless with despair.
Their scanty garments, thin and old.
Could not keep out the damp and cold.
And oh! they looked so pinched and blue;
The chilly storm had pierced them through.
