A Protest t-Injudicious Early Rising.

DR.. Hall. in the February number of
his Journal Of Health. says: Zone of the
very worst economies of time is that ilch-
ed from necessary sleep. The wholesale
but blind commentator of early rising is
as mischievous in practice as it is arrant
in theory 3 rly rising is a crime against
the noblest part of our physical nature,
unless it is preceded by an early retiring.
Multitudes of business men in large cities
count it saving of time if they can make
a journey of hundred or two miles at
night by steamboat or railway. It is a
ruinous mistake. 1t never fails to be fol-
lowed by general unwell feeling for
several days after. if, indeed, the man
does not return home actually sick, or so
near it as to be unfit for full attention
to bis business for a week afterward. =
When man leaves home on business, it
is always important that he should have
his wits about him; that the mind should
be fresh and vigorous. the spirit lively,
buoyant and cheerful. No man can say
that it is thus with him after a night on
the railroad, or on the shelf Of steam

A MOTHERS MANAGEMENT.

The dismal December night was closing
with starless gloom over the spires and
chimney tops Of the city-the binding
mist of snow-fakes was wreathing its
white pail over all, and the wind, mur-
mering through the streets, seemed to
have almost a human vail in its moan.
Its an ugly kind Of night" mutter-
ed Mr. Terryn to himself as he buckled
his fur closer around his neck. ''and a
wind fit to cut one in two. Halo! what's
this?"
He had very nearly stumbled over
something that looked like a bundle,
cropching at the foot of fight of steps in
the shadow of ruinous old brick arch
way; but as he checked himself abruptly,
the bundle erected itself into something
human in shape and looked at him through
wild human eyes.

The funeral services were ended, and
as the voice Of prayer ceased, tears were

take leave of the corpse.
It was an old man who lay here, robed
for the grave. More than three score
years had whittened those locks and fur
rowed that brow, and made those stiff
limbs weary of life's journey, and the
more willing to lie Gown and rest where
WEAKNESS is no longer a burden. The
aged have but few to weep for them
when they die. The most of those who
would have mourped their loss have gone

Where hundred sick and dying
Groaned in agony and pain,
While the whizzing shells are flying
Fast as comes the pelting rain,
Was a soldier quickly straying
Into deaths remorseless swoon,
Still he woke up, firmly saying
'Tell the boys Pm coming soonp'
Did you hear it not? the rattle
Of the canister-the crash
Hear the furious peals of battle,
See the cannon's lightning flash
God of Heaven my bosom's swelling,
Beating to the bullets tune,
Listen to their distant yelling
"Tell the boys I'm coming soon I"
Hare they fought aPotber battle3
must be with them-I mustl
Godi there's music in the rattle
AS the foemen bite the dust
Tell the boys to strike for freedom,
IT'S of Heaven the priceless boon!
Tell the freemen that we need 'em-
"Tell the boys Pm coming soon ''
Fast the soldier now was sinking,
Like the setting of the day,
Still his mind was dreaming, thinking,
OF the boys who wore the grey;
And with one strong effort, signing,
Ele he fell in Deaths last swoon,
Still he said as he was dying
Tell the boys I'm coming soon p
Ginning quickly, coming blandly,
Rising up beyond the skies,
Marching onward, marching grandly,
To the gates of Paradise!
Tell the dead who've gone before him
He has won the holy boon,
Tell the saints who still watched DER him
Tell all Heaven he's coming soonl

The few persons who remain to speal

they are able TO escape the coming judg
ment Of the people.
Conceding that EggIeston will not do,
their organs have Internationally pledged
to throw him and his whole ticket, in

They have snuffed out Mygatt who
late sported the honor of Chairman OF

What more could the most blood-thirs-
~ rebel" demand Of the carpet-bagger'
party than the slaughter of these limo
cents in the house Of their friends? But
they have done more. According to the
Pilot, what Is left Of the carpet-baggers'
faction in this city, deliberately resolved
in a meeting Thursday night, and asked
their brethren elsewhere, TO resolve, as
follows:
1--WE the carpet-baggers) recommend
that the disqualifying clauses of the new
Constitution be STRICKEN OUT, and il
necessary, submitted to a separate vote. and
VIC advise the Republicans of the State to
VOTE AGAINST THEM in conformity to
the enlightened and liberal spirit of the
party
Here we have a confession Of guilt by
the authors Of these "'cIauses, " of all that
was charged against them by the Democ-
racy, in the late canvass, and thus CON
Tossing they have been driven to the point
Of beseeching the few deluded followers,
they suppose themselves to have, to reject
them. When did the scales drop from
the eyes Of these carpet-baggers? 1t has
not been long since the Chairman Of
their Executive State Committee" made
oath that the Constitution as framed, was
the "Only hope and safety of the loyal
people" Now they pronounce against its
chief Distinguishing features, and appeal
to their own followers to do what the
Democracy did last year--"STRIKE |
THEM OUT"
We do not know what else can be ask !
ed Of these self condemned people unless
it be to make finish of the little that is
left Of the once rampant, truculent and /
boastful carPet-bag faction, by hanging
themselves and that quickly.

ample set by the Copiah county meeting,
in appointing colored men who are il
favor Of Free Constitution and Equal
Rights against carpet-baggers and disfran-
chisement, to the State Convention OF
Conservatives, which will be called i'm
mediately on the issuance Of the Procla-
nation ordering an election. We viii be
gratifed to have a full representation Of
the colored element in the Convention.
1t viii be a guarantee To the colored race
that the work Is fairly done, and will serve
effectually to remove the erroneous i'm
pressions by which the minds Of that
class have been infamed with prejudice
against the resident white population by
the carpet-bag adventures. We shall be
disappointed if three-fourths Of the votes
Of the colored suffragans are not cast
against the Eggleston Gibbs faction, icon
sisting, according to the Pilot, Of less
than one thousand" whites, at the coming
election.

Military Arrests.

In the progress OF Il Radical meeting
in Copiah a short time ago, citizen, Mr..
Rice, provoked by language used by one
one Of the speakers, INDUCED a severe re-
mark which led to a rejoinder by a mem
Der of the meeting and resulted in the
drawing of aweapon by the latter person.
We are informed that no violence was
used. Mr.. Rice was subsequently seized
by the military authorities. Why it was
not done on a warrant by the recently APP
pointed military Sheriff, who is the peace
officer Of the county, and who is required
by law to summon the whole force of the
county, if necessary, in the execution OF
his duty, we are not advised.
Not seeing in the prospect before him
the probability of a trial by IAN impair
tial jury" for the offence, real or imagina-
~, with which he had been charged, as
guaranteed by the constitution, nor feel
ing himself bound to respect an Illegal
arrest Mr.. Rice thought proper to make
his escape from the guard which was con-
veying him to this city. He was accom-
panied on the ears by a number of young
men who were in no manner implicated
in the original broil, but who came as
friends to become his sureties; to intercede
with the authorities; or to perform such
other act of kindness as ordinary human
ity would dictate in behalf a fellow crea-
ture. On his escape, the persons of these
young men were seized, and they are
now held in close custody. As before
said, no complaint had been made against
them. They were not accused of any
connection whatever with the slight dis
turbance for which Mr. Rice was arrested;
but were coming with him on the same
train to render such offices of kindness as
are permitted in all civilized countries to
be performed in behalf of the most des-
perate and guilty wretch that walks the
earth
The facts are Of such atrocity that they
need no comment. They speak for them
selves: and they viii carry a lesson to our
people which viii not be without its uses

spirit of the Mississippi Press


From the Canton Citizen.
The terms are as fair as could be expected,
and we deem il the wisest thing that our
people can do will be TO pursue course Ia
accordance with the spirit manifested oy
the passage of the new reconstruction Dill.
That bill shows spirit of moderation
which the past course of the party now DOM
inant had given US little reason to expect
and we must meet that spirit half way; we
must forget some of our past beliefs which
the events of the last four years have eA-
ploded. and accept the inevitable with grace
Congress has declared that our people
shall have free and fair election-an op-
portunity to vote down the odious clauses
of the proposed Constitution; and there are
many good men of the Republican party in
this State who have been Instrumentation
fact the prime motive power-in inducing
Congress to make this declaration. Then
when we have ascertained at what time the
constitution will be submitted TO the people
let us call public meetings, and invite all
men of conservative tendencies-men who
are willing to forget parties and partisan i'll
terests-for the common veal, for the bene-
fit of our whole people-to take council and
to cooperate with us in the great work OF
restoring our State once more to her proper
position in the Federal Government. Let
US form a party out of the best material OF
the two parties recently contending IN this
States,-the honest, honorable men of each
let us reject the obnoxious portions of the
constitution, and accept it in such an amen
ded form as will make it just and equitable;
and then let us nominate and elect our bess
and wisest men, both native and immigrant,
without regard to formee party ties, to the
Legislature, and let them determine as TO
the adoption or rejection of the fifteenth
amendment. Should they see fit to adopt 1t,
let us accept it willingly and in good faith;
for whether we take it or not cannot affect
us ma terially-for it will be ratified by two
thirds of the free States, and then become
national law anyhow; and,
then. when we send our representatives to
the Federal Congress, we will, in manner
control our own affairs, and have voice in
the national legislation, and our State will
once more be free.
