A Pretty Quakeress Creates an
Excitement.

A beautiful young lady, dressed
as quakeress, entered the office OF
a prominent railroad official yestcr-
dav and asked for pass over his
road, good for one month. She
stated that she was engaged in mis-
sionary work, and that she expect
ed to do mach good. The peculiar
character of the work was explain
ed. and asking the young lady to
be seated, the gentleman proceed
ed to fill out pass as requested
This was handed to her, but stating
tibet she could not read, she hand
ed it back. The gentleman read
aloud the pass, allowing her to GO
to apy point on the whole line OF
road at any time within one month
from date. The lady, to his sur,
prise, dropped on her knees and
nraved earnestly for some minutes.
The act did not surprise as much as
her sweet tone and beautiful Ian
gnage. Most beautiful thoughts
were expressed in well chosen
words, and the woman seemed 10
weld to the spirit Of the moment.
! In her own language the spirit
moved her to thank God for put
ting so good a man in such a place
She said that she had been an idle
frivolous girl, disposed to ignore
the teachings and customs oil
her people, but that, uneducateo
as she was, she had devoted her
self to a good work, and had ac'
complished much ard hoped to ac-
complish more.
This is the incident as it occur
red. Be the woman whom she may
she produced quite an excitement
in places where generally there !. -
too much business for anything IN
tie romantic way.-[o. S Journal

Senator Brownlow.

There is just enough body left to
Senator Brownlow to keep his soul
pinned to one place. His feet are
useless for walking purposes. His
hands shake with a fearful palsy
His tongue almost refuses to artic-
ulate word, and yet his mind is
as active, his judgment as clear as
when in the meridian of health and
strength of unimpared manhood
Confinement in a rebel dungeon
brought on the severe physicalsuf-
fering which affl cts this Senator.
The dampness, the wretched food,
and constant expectation Of death,
made him what he is to- day. His
private secretary who is his son,
always occupies a place by his side,
and through him he manages TO
perform his duty as a Senator
What an unhinching will this man
brings to bear upon life? Very few
in his condition would think OF
leaving a sick room; and yet, day
afer day, hemay be found at his
desk, completing the remaining
chapters Of the book which ends
only when the pen falls from the
neryeless fingers, and all that has
been is but a mass of crumbling
dust. Parson Brownlow has just en-
tered the winter forest of age
Medium sized, broad shoulders,
with a waist as handsomely tapered
rs a woman's, he has fine, intel
lectual head, large kindly blue eyes,
but the lower part of his face indi-
Gates the sensitive organs, and the
lines around his delicate mobile
mouth, have been scanned and scor-
ed with passion. He must have
ben made of the best kind of mate
rial in the beginning, else the con-
slant friction or the carrying of SO
many pounds Of steam to the square
inch, would have destroyed the in
tricate machinery long ago.-Wash.

Maternity

From a recent sermon by Henry
Ward Beecher on "Contentment,"
we extract the following beautiful
passage;
Paul says II have learned In all
things 70 be content" There arc
q good many men who have learn.
ed il in single things. The mother
has learned 10 be content in loving
and caring for her children, ,-~that
IS, the. real, born mother. A moth
er is as different from everything
else that God ever thought Of as
different can possibly be. She was
a distinct and individual creation
and think that God laughed with
satisfaction when he thought OF
mother, and frsmed her quichly,--
so rich, so deep, so divine, so full
Of soul-power and beautyl When
God created a mother, he made her,
if the maternal instincts were graf
flied, to be supremely happy and
blest. When ] was a little boy /
used to rock the cradle, and / can.
not remember that / ever liked IL;
but / have seen mothers that would
turn from exhilarating pleasures,
end from friends, and nothing made
them 50 happy as to get back to
the nursery again. Where the child
was, there was to them the gate of
heaven, and there they sat down in
supreme content. Such a mother
could say, II have learned In the
nursery state to be content. Give
me my children, and / am supreme
ly blest. She had learned that.
Here is a gay and giddy girl;.of
whom one predicts vanity and fol-
", and another this or that bad end
for the prophets Of evil are more
than the prophets of hope and char
ity in this world and yet, after all
her time comes. She did not her
self know what was in her until love
found her, and worked her up to
her true lite, and now that she has
become a wife and a mother, see
how she has changed; see how all
the gayety and vanity and friyolity
are gone, or rather see how they
have changed themselves, and rest
now as dew upon flowers. See
how she is transformed; she has
become new being; all look upon
her now and admire, although they
detracted. She has learned in that
state to be content. Would she be
content in another and a different
state? No; she has not learned
that; she has learned to be content
in one state. If she could have
that one state reproduced along the
line of faculty, then she could say
as Paul did.

first struggle for American Liber-

tiny cxerting watchful care for your
welfare sympathizing with you and
Posterity, look to you as the last
earthly hope for the success OF free
Government upon our soil. They
expect every man of you to do his
duty. They know, tor they have
witnessed the degeneracy of the
times, the evils, moral and polite
al, which like an incubus weigh
down the lessons they taught by
precept and example, They have
seen the cardinal doctrines they
cherished trampled in the dust,
spurned and put aside for military
rule. used and to be used, for self
ish and corrupt purposes. Have
seen industry and toll crippled and
chained down by debt, countless
as the minutes that have elapsed
since God first said, "Lct there be
Light" and Light succeeded chaos
Have seen the monstrous burthen
which crushes out alike the business
energies of them who foresaw the
evil of them who created it, and IN
the darkness of their blindness
still foster it; and what is worse,
seek to fasten the load on unborn
people, countless as the sands Of
our ocean coasts. Do you not dis

Quite a fracas occurred in Wash
ington, on Wednesday night, be-
tween two colored politicians. Du-
ring the discussion ofsome subject
at a meeting which was being held,
one darkey, with the saber of his
father, attempted to cut in twain a
brother politician, who was of a
different opinion. The latter was a
member of the Grant Zouaves, and,
like the colored troops in general,
fought nobly. Stones and all other
available missiles were circulated in
every direction and in such greal
numbers that William Patterson
would have been sorely puzzled to
know who threw that last brick.

Cheap Family Amusements

Iwould to God that the German
beer. gardens could be established
among us-all except the beer! /
would rather have the beer than
your wine! My old fatherland is
Germany, the home Of our Anglo
Saxon blood. The old honest
stock that always ran toward re-
publicanism. The moharcliaI stock
the French stock, the Italian
stock, the Spanish Stock-all ran
toward monarchism. Celtic they
are, the whole of them. They want
chief; and when they have ono,
they fight him; and then, when
they have got rid Of him, they fight
because they have not got one
TLeJ fight anyhow! But the Saxon
stock always ran for the common
people and the commonwealth
And ifyou must drink, drink good
German bcerl Do not NEEDLE
with your aristocratic French wines,
your Southern wines, nor any thing
of the2kind. But do not drink
either! Gods good old wells have
enough in them yet for US all; and
it is the best beverage.
I never saw q man wipe his dirty
lip of beer, or his dainty lip Of
wine, that l did not want to wash
his mouth afterward with water
There is nothing so good as moth
ing, and water tastes like nothing.
In every other respect commend us
to these social institutions. / went,
in Dresden and several other Ger
man cities, into these gardens,
where, for small price, wholesome
ne us could be obtained, and where
| think, no less than one or two
hundred families, who sat and re-
| freshed themselves while the most
exquisite music was being perform
ed by excellent bands, admirable as
any thing we hear in Philharmon-
ic concerts. And after spending
the early evenings in this sensible
manner, they wended their way
home at the good old Puriton hour
of nine o'clock-seldom later than
ten. And I thought, "could such
pleasures be brought to my father
land, 1t would promote the moralI-
ty-pleasure so cheap that a man
can take his whole family"
Therefore 1 say that music is
never going to regenerate us till 1t
gives some other than gold and sill
Yer sounds 1t is not going to do 1t
so long as it costs four or five dol
liars to 90 to a single concert. SO
long as Philharmonic societies can
not succeed because they charge
one or two dollars for admission,
and q man can not afford to attend
with his family, how are you going
to make music minister 20 the
wants of the poor and of the com
munity? So there should be an alb
olition of ruinous prices. There
should be afforded means for cheap
family amusements outside OF
home. And when the time shall
come that men can have bowling
alleys, and billiard tables, and mu-
sic-all of them in clean places
without the accessories of drinking
or temptations; Where young men
can 90 with their wives, and tn If
fathers and mothers when this time
comes, think the family will not
be weakened. 1t will be strength
ened. 1t will be greatly helped
especially in cities, where there is
mo nature-where the choice is be-
tween the carpet and the stone
pavement.-Henry IGard Beecher.

For, o, its almost four
Since they were bright and beautiful
And peTfumcd as Of yore
A pictured face lock Of hair,
Ny little faded flowers,
Are all that have left to me
Ofmemory's bygone hours.
SO full of thought and love,
But, o, would not call II back
From Gods bright home abOYel
There are no faded flowers in heayen,--
No tears for us to shed,
And those whO've passed before us there
BY angels hands are led.
We cannot keep them here with love,
All things below must fade,
And while we linger, day by day
Bright hops are lowly laid.
Well keep our little faded flowers
And water them with tears,
And hope that God ray smile upon
And tighten all our fears.
Wen keep them treasured in our hearts,
Place them on memory's tomb,
For there we know they will not fade,
But ever brightly bloom.
