Advice to the Afflicted.

Wcarpapcr-soled boots and mutlle UP

health" all winter, and will probably
take Il i0,c drire in the spring.

Always be Civil.

"My young friend," said Il gentleman
on horseback one day to a lad who was
standing near well, s'will you do me
the favor to draw pail of water for my
horse, as 1 find it rather difficult to get
off9'
Instead of giving Il grutf reply, as
many boys would do, the boy drew the
water and gave it to the horse. His
manner was SO pleasant and cheerful
that the stranger, delighted with his
spirit, asked his name and residence,
and then, after thanking him, rode on.
The good-natured lad thought no more
of his act of civility till, some months
later, he received a letter from the gem
tleman, offering him clerkship in his
store. The lad prospered, and finally
became chief magistrate of Il large city.
Thus, you see, that little act of civ
ility to a stranger was the first round in
the ladder by which that boy climbed
to honor and wealth. Now 1 do not
say that civility will always lead to
sucn honor, but I say that it always
raises its possessor in the opinion of
others and in his own self-respect. Be
civil, therefore, boys and girls. Civility
is an ornament all should possess.

Icing for Cakes.

Take of the best white sugar one
pound, and pour over it just enough
cold water to dissolve tho Jumps; then
take the whites of three eggs, and beat
them II little, but not to Il stiff froth !;
add these to the sugar and water; put
it in Il deep bowl, place the bowl in 4
vessel of boiling water, and beat up the
mixture. 1t will first become thin and
clear, and aftcrward begin to thicken.
When it becomes quite thick, remove
it from the fire, and continue the beat
ing until it becomes cold, then spread
it on with a knife. 1t is perfectly white,
glistens beautifully, and is so hard and
smooth when dry, that you may write
very we'll upon it with Il pencil.

Vegetable Flowers.

Boys and girls who live in the cOun-
try will find the making Of vegetable
flowers pleasant pastime. To make a
bouquet Of these flowers, take some
white and yellow turnips, beets, carrots,
and pumpkins, also some parts Of cab
bages. Gather from the woods moss,
laurel leaves, and other evergreens.
Then, by the exercise of taste, ingenuity,
and skillful use of the penknife, really
beautiful flowers can be carved from
these. Take white turnip, neatly
peeled, notched, or cut down in leaf
shape all around. Fasten it on stick
whitfield into the proper shape for q
stem. Surround it with green leaves,
and behold, according to your design,
an exquisite white camelia or Il rose.
Red roses, camelias, or dahlias, can be
made in the same manner from beets,
yellow flowers from carrots and pump
kins, moss rose buds from turnips and
beets, by cutting them into the proper
shape, and placing real moss around
them. White or red flowers can be
made from red or white cabbages. A
friend of ours, one cold day in winter,
had a lovely basket Of flowers sent to
her for a tea party. There We're two
white japonicas; the chill they received
turned them brown, and they fell to
pieces. She was in despair. A cousin
staying with her unknown to her) cut
two white japonicas out of white turnips
and placed them on the real japonica
leaves. Her friend did not notice the
basket until near tea time; then she was
delighted, and exclaimed at their beauty
and wondered how the cousin got them.
No one knew until the next day that
they were only turnips.-Wire,' Optics

Because care little for books, no doubt.
have a wife and she is wise,
speesa ae e shaapW her srl pretty eyes;
rustic to hear her speak
She writes little-for love, not II. NO
And yet {God bless her y is mild and meek !;
And how happened to woo and wed
A wife SO pretty and wise s Wlt ma. .a
Plaques me at daytime and mocks me inbed;
Ha1nts me, and makes me appear so small,
The only answer that can see
Isl could not have married Hermione,
THAT is her fine wise name) but she
For am a fellow of no degree,
Given to romping and jollity:
The Latin they thrashed into me at school
The world and its fights have thrashed away.
At figures alone am no fool,
And in city circles say my say,
But am a Ounce at twenty-nine,
And the kind of study that think fine
Is q chapter of Dickens, q sheet OF the Times
Whom lounge, after work, III my easy chair
And the butterfly usots blown here and there
By the idle breath of tho social air.
A little French is my only gift,
Wherewith at times can make SHIFT,
Guessing at meanings to hutter over
A dligree tale in paper cover.
Hermione, my Hermione!
What could your wisdom perceive in me?
And Hermione-my Hermione!
How does it happen at all that we
Love one another SO utterly?
Well, I have q bright-eyed boy Of two,
A DAZZLING who cries, with lung and tongae,
As fine a fellow, swear to you,
And my lady-wife with tho serious eyes
Brightens and lightens when he is nigh,
And looks, although she is deep ana wlse
As foolish and happy as he or l.
And have the courage just then, you see,
To kiss the lips Of Hermione-
Those learned lips that the learned praise
And to clasp her close as in sil1ier days;
To talk and joke in frolic vein,
To tell her my stories of things and men
And it never strikes mo that Pm profane,
For she laughs and bushes and kisses again,
And, presto! flies her wisdom then!
For the boy claps hands and is on her breast,
Roaring to see her SO bright with mirth,
And know she deems me Ooh, the jest !!
The cheeriest fellow on all the earth!
And Herlnione, my Hermione,
Nurses her boy and defers to me;
Even to think Pm a Ounce at all
And whenever wander, up and about,
Here is the puzzle can't make out
That Hermione, my Hermione,
In spite of her Greek and philosophy,
When sporting at night with her boy and me
Seems sweeter and wiser, and far more clever
And makes mo feel moro foolish than ever,
Through her childish, girlish, joyous grace,
And the silly pride in her learned face!
That is the puzzle can't make out,
But the puzzle is pleasant, know not why;
For whenever think of it, night or morn,
thank my God she is wise, and
The happiest fool that was ever born.

CoNGRESSI0NAL TYRANNY.

The tyranny Of Congress has already
alarmed some of tie Radical leaders. 1t
has been exemplifed in the rejection by
the Senate of Attorney General Hoar for
the Supreme the Bench. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Hartford
Times has the following
The true reason of his rejection win
not be sent over The country by tele-
graphic dispatches 1t will be claimed
that he was rejected for the reason that
he belonged at TIE North and in Massa-
chusetts. But tlat State has no Justice
upon the bencl, and the Senate cares
nothing for his reason. With the
South full If Northern men in
every executive Office, and sus-
tanned there by the Senate, very few
people can b. made to believe that Mr..
Hoar was n iected on account of his 10
caIitv, The true reason is this: He has
expressed opinions of the unConstitu-
tionality Of some of the acts Of Congress,
and he does not ike the Radical plan of
subiuga'iug the Judiciary This killed
him of The government is TO q con-
siderable extent already reyolutionizcd.
The States and the people have little
power, and Capitalization viii be SUI
preme Already you will notice that
Farnsworth, Dawes and Bingham are
alarmed, and have entered protests as
boldly as they dare. But they dare not
say much, for tyranny is so great here
that. Republicans who are really alarmed
dare not speak boldly and freely. But a
good many Of them are shaking with fear.
There has not been a good feeling he
tween the President and Congress for
some time, and Grant is now very much

THE following extract from the report

House of Representatives on the 25th of
July, 1866, is copied from the Congress
sional Globe
Mr.. Dawes am instructed by the
Committee of Elections to report back the
credentials of J. w. Gift and c. H.
Prince. members elect from the State OF
Georgia, that State having ratified the
fourteenth amedment to the constitution,
and in all other respects hdping con
formed to the requirements Of tar az
reqard to the admission Of that State.
These gentlemen will take the oath pre-
scribed by the act of July ,, 1862.
The report WIS agreed to-
Mr.. Gift and Mr. Prince appeared and
qualified.
The New York World says: :" By
that act Georgia was put upon the same
status with every Northern State. Even
the Republican party thereby admitted
and affirmed that she was State Of the
Union, with the same rights as every
other State. Now Congress seizes Georgia
by the throat, and demands that its
wicked will shall again and anew be
wrought upon her If the citizens OF
New York consent to this fresh and mon
strous outrage, then New York will dc
serve no better fate than GeOrgia's. II
the citizens of Ohio or Illinois consent 10
this outrage, then Ohio and Illinois will
deserve no better fate than Georgia's. For
no State of the North or West has any
more or better security against the lawless
and unbridled power of Congress than

To the Editors of the Cincinnati Gazette:
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 24.-My

and published in your issue of the 9th
inst. While it is not my intention to be
come the apologist for Senator Brown
low who is vel able totake care Of him
self, } it is just to urge that your CORE
spondcnt las given too high a cOloring to
the charges made in his letter against
Gen. James p BrownlOw and Col.
John 3. Brownlow. These gentlemen
were both gallant soldiers Of the Union,
whose military records and services can
not be questioned Gen. james p.
}rOwnlOw was elected Superintendent of
the Knoxville and Kentucky Railroad by
the Directors, and the preferment was in
no way a State Office. Col. John B.
BrownloW was appointed Receiver Of the
Edgcticld and Kentucky railroad at the
urgent solicitation Of prominent Republi-
cans, in consideration of his valuable ser
vices TO the Republican party of Tcnncs-
see. | personally know that Gov Brown
low was aycrse 20 making this appoint
mcnt, lest he might be unjustly charged
with providing for his own family to the
exclusion of others DR.. BOyntOn, son
in-law Of Senator BrownloW, was Fed
eral officer, and is a gentleman Of Charac-
ter and culture. His appointment as Pen
sion Agent, at Knoxville, was the reward
Of emincIf political services TO the Re
publican party. Il was Endorsed by the
entire Tennessee delegation, and was
also highly favored and urged by the
NOrjhcn-bOm citizens of Tcnncs-
see, particularly those from Ohio,
If there was anything Objectionable in
this appointment, your correspondent,
4" Aquaviva, - betrays himself by emitting
10 state that Gen. Stokes son was for
long time a clerk in the Treasury De.
partmcnt, and was subsequently appoint
cd by Gen. Grant Pension Agent at Nash
vile, which position he now holds This
appointment was secured for his son by
Gen. Stokes, TO the exclusion Of the re
commentator Of Col. W. T. Prosscr,
member Of Congress from the Nashville
District, who had urged Capt. Silas L.
Allen, originally from Ohio, a gallant
Federal officer and prominent Republican,
for The place. Gov Brownlow appointed
brother Of the son-in-law Of Gen
Stokes, one of the Attorney Generals of
The State, and the father Of tbs son-in-
law Circuit Judge. These aye simple
statements Of facts, given without com
