Let us turn our thoughts to rearing q

A DIscR1MINATIoN.--W see that the
carpet. baggers are seeking to make them
selves RESPECTABLE by claiming all the
Northern men in the State as of their
class. There never was greater mistake.
We are proud to know that we have a
numerous body of Northern men who
have come among us, and become identi-
fed with the country, that are gentlemen;
who rank high in the esteem and. respect
of the people OF the State; who have as
great contempt fer carpet-bagger as if
to to the manor born who spurn their pitt
full attempts at afiliation with them
Now, the carpet bagger is an animal in
the shape of man, who, finding that the
South was crushed and humiliated under
radical rule, and that Beast Butler had
not stolen quite all the spoons, havepulled
up their stakes at the North, put their es;i
tates in carpet-bag, or some other small all
thing, and left their country for their
country's good and have dropped down.
upon us, and united with the negroes and
q few degraded scalawags to get them
selves into office. Whereby they mean
to CLEAN the South of what little she
has left, that they may join the Beast:
when they return, (for they have no idea
of remaining with us longer than the
cleaning time is over.) With all such q
true Northern gentleman never did and
never will have anything to do.-Spartan-

A BRIDAL BATH.-In her clever CORES
pondonce with the San Francisco Chronl-
Gle, Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt Rtchie
writes from London the following account
of bridal bath: j..
ga young couple recently married
whose names the public have nothing to
do with, though the amusing incident is
too ludicrous to be suppressed, arrived,
on the evening Of their wedding day, at
a certain town in Switzerland, where they
expected to lodge. They learned, 10 their
dismay, that sudden influx Of visitors
had filled to overflow every botel, inn and
lodging house in the place. They literally
could not find a place to lay their heads.
The bridegroom, after making q strong
appeal, accompanied by his bride, to the
landlord of the principal hotel, obtained
the gratifying information that there was
one unoccupied room in the house, the
bathroom and that couple of beds might
he made in the two baths which it con.
tanned. The youthful couple were well
,,loasod TO secure even this shelter, after
n fatiguing Journey, and retired to rest.
An hour or two later the stiffness of the
night was suddenly broken by shreks OF
distress issuing from the bath-room.-
First a female voice could be distinguish
ed. then that of male, calling for help
The lady, wishing to summon q servant
had pulled what she presumed was bell
rope suspended over her bed in the bath
when suddenly, she was inundated by
shower of cold water. The gentleman
aroused by her cries, and not quite com
pretending the position, pulled a supposed
bell-rope which he felt dangling over MS m
bath h.bed, to bring him a.domeslic, but
brought, instead, II shower of hot water
over himself 1t was quito dark. and nel

Through the use of the waters Of mineral
springs dates back beyond the time OF Hippocra-
t,s there was never time when when such
use was anything like As extensive as now. In
this country. especially, the de land for healing
waters. and the frequenting OF mineral springs
in summer time, have increased astonishlngly
within the last few years. The bottled waters Of
the various noted springs, form large proper
ton Of the stock in trade Of every druggist, and
the wholesale business in them Is enormous
Vermont has been especially favored in the al
lotment Of these healing fountains, and, the
Saratoga waters only accepted, no others We
suppose have so wide sale or attract SO much
attention. The Alburgh and Clarendon waters
have long been known and prizei To them OF
l.te have been added the noted Sheldon, Middle
town and other springs of recent discovery, and
every year is adding to the discoveries Of yalu-
able healing waters When it is remembered
that the all Of pure air, bracing temperature,
and pleasant surroundings, add to the curative
effect Of such waters. it is no wonder that the
Vermont springs, flowing amid purest mountain
air and Wild and beautiful scenery, attract
health seekers by thousands, aud increasingly
SO year by year.
