A GREAT SERMON.
Papa Goes There.
BY MRS. C.. A. SOULE.-

sMayn't I go with you, papa p
please say / may, won't you?''
The words were uttered in a
plaintive and sadly entreatlve tone,
the hands Of the speaker clasping
the knees of the listner.
1t was boy of seven years who
lisped them; a beautiful boy, with
fair high brow, around which there
clustered glorious wreath of au-
burn curls with dark, flashing eyes
cheeks rosy with health; lips like
the cherries of summer, and voice
like the birds which taste them,
There were tears in those eyes at
this time, though, and the dimpled
mouth was quivering.
It was 8 man of some thirty five
who listened to this plea; a mau
who had been of noble looks and
princely bearing. Ay, had been
for TIE blighted truth was written
over his form and face. His locks
were matted, his forehead scowling.
his eyes red, but not with tears ;
there were furrows on his cheeks,
too, and british look to the ex-
preston of his lips. Twice did the
little boy address him ere he an
swered. Then pushing the child
rudely from him, he said, in stern
voice, No, no. It's no place for
you Ei5l4 atE -"r
Again those fair, small hands en-
circle the knees. tfsa w." y
You go papa. Why can't / go
too? Do let me go.'' 4.'i
For moment the heart of the
inebriate seemed to wake from its
sleep. He shuadered as he thought
of the character Of the place his
pure souled boy would enter. He
took the child tenderly in his arms,
and kissed him as OF old: then put
ting him down, he said kindly s.

A NORTH WIND.
By CARL SPENCER,

There was over all the land
a dark and heavy day.
Till a wind came out of the North
And blew the clouds away.
And the old flag went down
On the broad Southern plain,
Till awind came out of the North
And'raised it up again.
Almighty rushingwind
Blew~straight from Plymouth Rock,
And the voices of men were in it
Men of the Pilgrim stock.
There was the sound of woods,
And the dash of. the mighty sea;
And wherever the North wind went
q Men heard the words, Be Free
Come, let us claim the land
Once more for liberty;
The Northern to the Southern pine
Sent greeting cheerily.
Strong is the wind of the North,
Strong as the arm of Right
(The breath of many noble lives .-
twas that won our 1ightD;
Keen is the wind of the North,
Keen as the sword of Truth
70, for the slain of all the land!
O. for the flower of youthD
Clouds are over the sky, ..-
Clouds that follow the rain,
Come 0 wind of the North!
And clear the skies again,
Till the smoke is rolled away,
And the battle echoes cease; -
For 1t is only victory ,
Hath power to utter, Peace!

It is always more discreet to be
awkwardly silent than ridiculously
loquacious; therefore, when the

purpose, it had better be allowed to

WE have carefully read the editorial
article from the Avalanche upon which
. certain Mr.. POsToN bases some legisla-
tive action in the House Of Representa-
tives, and think it anything but suscepti-
BILE Of the construction he puts upon it.
The AU0ldnche, like the APPEAL, and
other Democratic papers, very properly
warned the Legislature, by the example
Of Arkansas, Of the possibilities should
the militia las it has be called out ; but
beyond that we do not think5a word has
been printed in that paper that could be
construed or tortured into hostility to the
State, or az couutenancing or encourage
ing anything like resistance to her law
full authorities. We hope the Legisla-
ture viii not take any farther action in
this matter. To add prosecution or per-
secution Of the press las in this easel to
their already ill-sdvised turning over Of
the State TO Autocrst BRoRNLOw will
stamp them IS equal to that mailman in

Legislature is strong, but not so much 30
as TO successfully butt against the press.

BY reference to the proceedings Of that
august, pure, patriotic, i~ncOrTuptible,
honest and learned body yelept the Leg
islature OF the State Of Tennessee, it will
be seen that they have tabled a resolu-
ton to abolish the Office OF Receiver Of
railroads. This action is just what We
expected. Since the appointment Of Re
eeivers to certain railroads their indebt-
ednees to the State has increased over
81, 600, 600. The Northwestern Road
alone hiss been managed so wisely by it's
Receiver that it has augmented its State
indebtedness nearly a million OF dollars.
Where has this money gone to? That
the roads were paying roads, and did
earn money, is easily proved. The
earnings Of the Northwestern Road, FOR
the year 1867 when only about eighty
miles Of it were in operation), were
1856, 454, and the expenses Of running it
were 500, 600, leaving a net income Of
s81, 454. The money has not been spent
on improvements CT keeping the road in
repair. On the contrary it has bsen
allowed 10 lapse into ruin and decay.
L" Receiver" is 8 good nsme-a happy
nsme-for every benefit conferred by the
office has been received by them. No
wonder these Receivers want to hold Oh
to their offices, and hsve spent their
thousands in lobbying so freely during
the past week or ten days. The case CT
the people Of Tennessee W. Receivers is
decided for the defendant. 81 we 90.

SOME Of our country exchanges bring
the information that farmers are in many
places preparing 70 plant heavily in cot
ton, and some to the exclusion OF corn,
wheat and vegetables. We hope this
is not as general as is supposed.
The experiences Of the past year-the re-
suits Of the diversified system her pur-
sued-sre too abundant, too patent to
admit of doubt ss to the proper course for
the farmers Of the South. To do right
by themselves, and deal justly, they must
make it their special care to raise first
what Of meat and bread they need, and in
bounteous supply, and after that is done
give their spare hours to the cultivation
Of cotton which, as q surplus crop, must
always command a price that will remu-

A special dispatch from London, dated
the 18th inst, informs the American
public that Mr.. CHARLES DICKENS on
that day published a card denying the
story and scandals IL circulation among
the press Of the United States, in refer
euce to the recent death, in Chicago, Of
his brothers. supposed widow. While
the dispatch does not in any vay refer
to the lady, now deceased, who here
bore the DICKENS name, and whose po-
sition toward Mr. DICKENS brother has
already been explained to the public, it
emphatically gives US to understand that
the widow OF the late DICKENS is still
alive and well, and that the illustrious
CHARLES IS trustee OF her estate under
settlement. What will the Chicago pa

BRIG.-GEN. COOPER, who Is to COM
mand the militia called out by the Gov
ernor's Proclamation, in 3 conversation
with a reporter of the Nashville Banner,
assures the public that it will be disRp-
pointed IL il expects the murders, arsons
and rspes Of Arkansas to be repeated by
his men. He ssys the first regiment
will be composed Of picked white men.
and that it will be his object to maintain
the degree Of discipline which character
ICES the regular army. "There will be
" 40 prOmiscuous fOrsging or depreda-
" ting on citizens. The supplies will be
" obtained in 8 fair and legitimate way.
" Captains will not be permitted to act
+" as quartermssJers or commissaries for
= their companies, but such matters will
" be embraced IN departments properly
" organized for that purpose" This is
all very well, so far as Gen. COOPER Is
concerned. But former dearly-purchased
experience teaches us that it will be i'm
possible for him to compel the observ-
aDce Of such discipline among q COM
mRnd so widely scattered as II Is pro-
posed this regiment shall be. The best
assurance we can have, and the only one
that can be given with safety, thst h
scenes OF Arkansas will not be reneated
in Tennessee, is for the Governor 10 dis.
band this militia, and disband Mr.
COOPER with them, and compel the
Sheriffs OF the several counties to sum
nor the l~aw-Abiding citizens for the sup
ursssion Of the evils complained OF. That
il thu only remedy that will not intiict
cruelty and unnecessary expense upon
the State.

character Of Judge HoUK, Of the Seven

Grand Jury Of the Circuit Court OF Camp
