Editor Clarion The time has arrived
when il becomes necessary to invoke the
agency of a superior power to relieve Us
from the hand of the oppressor. Our enc

for nothing else than the tyranny that ha-
been practiced upon other States that have
b~en so unfortunate as TO be brought under
Radical iminion.
Has not God Permitted this for the reason
that the people have forgotten Him, aud ran
on in Sickedness, unmindful Of their obi
cations to Him? There can be no other
good reason given. Had the people contin-
ued faithful to God as they were at the be-
ginning OF tn war, We would to-day have
been a free people, blest with all tn 4 We

If you are blessed with so happy a lot

then, for occupations sake you may re-
solve TO cure yourself Of the habit OF pay
ing compliments or of uttering any OF
those friendly batteries which are the

make martyr Of yourself if you choose,
and look down with sovereign scorn on
those who are still weak enough to exag-
gerate the amiabilities of their friends, IN

ance. The kindly relations which bind
friends together are founded on a system
of generous Interpretation of each other b
better qualities and to the end Of time
people who care TO have friends and nc
quaintances arOuLd them will conform ~
the usual custom. The sort of hattery
which consists III looking at the graces
rather than the defects Of the character
of man or woman and indirectly letting
the owner know that you admire these,
forms the basis upon which any section OF
society that hopes to meet on friendly
terms must meet; and not only is thi,
hattery harmless in it results, but il ex
ercises those best qualities of wit and tact
which men and women possess, and serves
to distinguish between the civilized
bling and the poor.-"The Innocence OF

An Appeal for the OrPha "a 's--FOOd
and Clothing Needed.
From the Orphan's Banner

FTOm the OFpHdn BdDHtTs
The public have always responded go
promptly To every appeal of the Home tor
assistance, that We deem IL an act OF simple
justice t. inform them, that it Is now iu
pressing need. An undated confidence a.
their generosity, based upon experience
suggests that il il not necessary to do more
than give a simple statement ot facts. The
Institution Is entirely without provisions
Every mouthul OF food that the childreu
eat. except Il few vegetables H. being bought.
This has been the case for some time, and
cannot last much longer. Beggary on the
highway, or starvation at he Home, will be
the inevitable consequence To the children,
unless supplies are soon received Children
must eat; there is no substitute for ioOd.
The Home il really in danger. ln addition
TO the want of food. there Is pressing need OF
clothing, shoes, mattresses, and bedding
Even at this early season. the children are
not as comfortable a. they should be- either
day or night, for want of these articles.
We hope friends will act promptly Re
member that a short delay is disastrous t.
those who are already pressed by want. Do
not wait tor an agent that j. not necessary
la fact, there is but one authorized Agent 10
Mississippi. and he j. not pet fairly at work
Let friends in every city. town. and neigh
b"rh"od. gather up supplies, and send direct.
Professions Of all Kinds, shoes. clothing, mat
tresses aud brddipg. Even secondhand
clothing would be gladly received And H.
hoes. we would suggest that Nos. 1. ?, 3 aud
L.. are most ia demand.
Again, we ak you to be prompt. II We
seem importunate, We hope you will eXCus'

case. Send all supplies by regular freight
and not By Expires.

a PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Vain. though a regular Quaker preacher
was great wag and many are the good
things said by him which are still current
in certain Philadelphia circles. He WAS
once travelling on horseback in the interior
Of Pennsylvania in company with two
Methodist preachers. They discussed the
points Of difference in their respective sects.
until they arrived At the inn where they put
up for the night. At supper Vain was seat
ed between the two Methodists, and before
them was placed q plate containing two
trout. Each ofthe circuit riders placed his
tork in fish and transferred it 70 ht% plate
after which each shut his eyes and said an
audible grace before meat. The Quaker
availed himself of the opportunity to trans
fer both Of the troues 70 his own plate, mere
ly remarking. when the others opened their
eyes. Your religion teaches you TO pray.
