The Prosby terrain Family.

THERE are thirteen different
branches of the Presbyterian Church
In this country. They are disting-
uished as the Reunited Presbyterian
Church, the Cumberland Presbyteri-
ans, the Southern Presbyterians, and
the United Presbyterians. These are
all large bodies. The smaller ones,
chiefly of Scotch origin, are the Old
Side Reformed or Covenator Church,
with 80 ministers and SO churches /;
the New Side Reformed or Covenan-
ter, which had until lately SIS minis
ters and 60 churches, but which has
been split In two by the expulsion of
Mr., George IL. Stewart; the Associ-
ate Reformed Synod Of the South,
with 8S ministers the Associate
Synod of North America, with 10
ministers, and the Associate Synod
of New York, with IL minister's

ans in the same State, who refused

Some progress has been made in
Scotland toward union between the

Down WITH THE CHfaNoN.-
There ia lady In Washington who
wears her own fair hair without a
chignon, which fact deserves men,
ton I'm honor of the one sensible wo-
man of the age who does not disfig-
ure herself with the current vile wad.
No one Is deceived by these mon
strous tumors into believing any
other thing than by their assumption
Is indicated woful lack of that long
hair which is the glory of woman In
the person wearing them. They de-
file collars, they exhale graveyard
savOrs, and do away with one Of the
pleasantest parts Of a woman's head,
next to her face--the round, shapely
noddle, to-wit, Of beauty unadorned.
Even the close-shorn "polln of a
bruiser ia preferable In a judicious eye
to the back brain of q pretty woman
fouled up with q mass of horse-hair,
sea-moss, and dead folks tresses.
Away with 1t then, good ladies. The
summer Is nigh, and its heats may
reveal those faints of the chignon
which the cold of the winter has
kept under check. -Bdnner.

to have his own opinions. Perhaps
he had better entertain crotchety aud
crooked opinions than none at all.
He must not be swayed about by
everybody's word. "Unstable as
water thou shalt not excel" was the
verdict of the patriarch OF old and
its truth and wisdom are as certain
and applicable now as when pro-
nounced, five thousand years ago.
We still have the melancholy spec
tacle of talents wasted, opportunities
of rising In the world thrown away,
and the fairest prospects blighted,
from this one fataldefect, this vul-
ncrable point, which, like the heel OF
Achilles, renders the perfection Of the
organization of no avail. Again and
again do we see persons whose char
acters seem adapted for posts of emil
dence whose talents, and energies
and attractive qualities are alike
fitted tn win confidence and love,
full In the hour of trial and sink into
obscurity or disgrace from the weak
vacillation of purpose which spoils
the hest conceived plans and disap-
or the slightest reflection will show
to he rs fatal to selfrrespect rs To the
position held towards others; since
The man who cannot depend upon his
own stability of purpose loses Mt once
confidence in himself aud the defer
ence and reliance of those who are
naturally dependent on him.
True decision of character consists
in power of deliberately planning II
course Of action, or of forming an pn-
biased opinion, and then untiinch-
ingly, consistently, and firmly car
rying out such purpose and opinion,

combination of circumstances rem

ously unknown argument makes the
other unwise and untenable. IL In u

I. Never marry for wealth. A wo.
mans life CONSISTENT not in the things
she possesseth.
2. Never marry q fop, who struts
about dandy-like, In his gloves and
ruffies, with silver headed cane and
rings on his fingers. Beware! there
Is trap. j reg
8. Never marry niggardly, close.
listed, mean, sOrdid wretch, who
saves every penny, or spends 1t grudg-
ingly. Take care, lest he stint you
to death.
4. Never marry stranger, whose
character is not known or tested
Some females jump into the fire with
their eyes wide open.
5. Never marry o mppe or drone,
who draws and drags through life
one foot after another, and lets things
take their own course. 5...,
6. Never marry a man who treats
bis mother or sister unkindly or in.
differently. Such treatment Is SURE
indication Of mean and wicked
man.
z. Never on any account, marry a
gambler, profane person one. who In
the least speaks lightly of God or re
ligion. Such a man can never make
good husband.
8. Never marry q sloven, q man
who is negligent Of his person or his
dress, and Is filthy In his habits. The
external appearance is an index to
the heart,
8. Shun the rake, asa snake, viper,
very demon. '0ia :
10. Finally, never marry a man
who is addicted to the use of ardent
spirits. Depend upon it, you are bet
ter off alone than you would be tied
to a man whose vitals are being
gnawed out by alchol.

FIFTY SPOKEN.

II. N. Rankin, the President OF
the West Tennessee (colored) Univer-
sity, thinks "that but few white
teachers should be encouraged to
come South TO teach among the col
ored people," He very appropriately
adds: A
1t Is clear to my mind that many of
the organizations OF the North said
to be for the benefit Of the negro
South, are, In my opinion, humbugs
and impositions on the colored people
of the South. That some these enter
prises benefit the negro no one will
doubt. But, In my opinion, some of
the leaders. of said Northern associa-
tons are benefited more. The few
weeks spent North II surprised me
to find that at almost every place
visited, except the Western Reserve,
was organic begging association
for the poor negroes of the SOUTH
What the poor negro OF the South
most needs II to be let alone by some
of his so-called friends.

THE TOWN ELECTIONS IN MICH
IGAN. IA

The result Of the spring elections in
Michigan, give evidence of the change
going on in the public mind. The De-
troit Free Press thus congratulates
the Democracy upon the healthy
signs they exhibit:
!" We should do injustice to our own
feelings did We not most heartily
thank the Democracy Of Michigan for
the manner In which they conducted
themselves at the spring elections.
Always faithful against overwhelm-
ing Numbers, they have, this spring,
been more than that. They have, ia
many cases, heen victorious, where
victory was hardly 10 he expected
They have not only maintained their
usual devotion to principle, hut ex-
hibited increased energy and deter
mination In its defense. They have
dealt strong and true blows for the
right they have nobly manifested
their determination 10 vindloate the
right OF the State TO make and CON
troll Its own municipal regulations
and laws. They have Furnished an
unmistakable indication that when
the issue Of power is made up as be-
tween Congress and the people, the
masses Will vindicate their own right

GOOD sUGaEsrIONs.

A correspondent of the Rural Car
Gilman, discoursing upon the situa-
ton, says:
There Is ono idea which seems to
have taken possession of the South
ern people, and until that Is eradica-
ted there Is but little prospect of real
prosperity. We mean the devotion
Of all our energies to the production
of cotton. 1t will not do toAbe de-
pendent upon the West for our corn,
flour and bacon, and upon the North
and East for everything we wear,
from hat to pair of Shoes or use,
from piano to an ax-handle. ~
All this talk about the value Of tbs
cotton crop, the restoration OF the
South, glorious prosperity, and the
like, Is mere twaddle. The rich are
growing richer, and the poor poorer,
every day. The money does not stay
at home to build up railroads, factO
ries and internal improvements, but
| it goes North and West for subsist-
ence, gew-gaws and gim-cracks. Nor

resklessly, because u great deal of II
Is in the hands of class which never
had money to spend before. 1t is
spent freely by Others because It is
greenbacks, and they feel that there
is no security in any investments
they can make. Does not any man
OF common sagacity see what must
be the end of borrowing money ut
from twelve to twenty-five per cent.
TO grow cotton with unreliable labor,
and be dependent upon our oppressors
For nearly everything we eat, wear,
or use.
We do not object to the planting OF
cotton as a money crop. That Is all
right-plant but little, cultivate 1t
well, and make 1t pay. We believe
the true policy Is to contract the area
in cultivation, cultivate more care
fully, Improve the staple, and conf
pete with the world for the finest
quality rather than the greatest guam
tity. Grow all the corn, wheat, oats
and potatoes required for your own
consumption, convert all swampy
places into meadows, provide your
self with clover lots, barley lots, rye
lots, and all means Of aiding the corn
crib. Try to raise few more hogs,
cattle, sheep, and drop In now and
then horse or mule colt. Encour-
age your neighbor, who has a knack
Of coopering, and have your tubs and
buckets made at home. Patronize
your own tanneries and shoemakers.
Make your own axe-helyes and
clothes-pins. Encourage your home
wagon and carriage-makers, plough
manufacturers aud blacksmiths--
don't run to the store for everything.
Patronize your own magazines and
newspapers; pay for them aud read
them. W.

THE ultra Radicals will never for
give Gov. Senter, aud they lose no
opportunity TO deal him sharp
thrust. Thus the Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press,
one of my two papers, both daily"
writes April IL: p
"Gov. Senter does not appear to
have accomplished much toward his
plan of securing the assistance OF
United States troops to aid the civil
authorities In maintaining order In
Tennessee, by his visit here and In
terview with the Reconstruction
Committee. General Butler had
sifted the matter pretty carefully, and
though favorable at first to granting
Senter's request, he finally received
some impressions which led him
to reverse his opinions, and to
decide TO lek Tennessee alone
for the present. Senter was rather
puzzled by some of the questions put
to him by members Of the Recon-
struction Committee on Saturday,
and has at length got the idea that
members have not forgotten his deal
ings with the Republican party in
the last State election, and place no
great amount Of reliance on the state
ments Of man who deliberately ac-
ted as he did. Several of the mem
beers are inclined tothe opinion that
the assistance OF troops may be need
ed to prevent lawlessness In Tennes-
see mot always growing out OF polit-
ical reasons, however,, and that II
sent there they should be under the
exclusive control Of theirregular Gffi-
GERS instead Of that Of Senter, as is
asked" gI,. .I.'

There are certain Lawson conditions
Of happiness with which every mar
must comply If he would secure tn,
object of his search. Every on,
knows that there are certain funda
mental laws Of health, lsuch as re
gard to cleanliness, diet, and exer-
else, which must be observed In or
der to the enjoyment Of this greatest
earthly blessing. In like manner
the man who would be happy must
have first, something to love; I'd
something to do, and Sd, something
to hope for.
The affections of his nature, like
the tendrils of the vine, are constant.
ly putting forth their filaments In
quest of some object around which
they may entwine themselves. Il
this be found, and II IL. be worthy o,
the hearts love, joy springs up In the
bosom. If the affections find no OBJ.
ject on which they may rest they
droop and wither, or trail in the dust
thus beroaving the man of peace,
Again, IL with something To- love,
the man has nothing to do, time will
hang heavily on his hands, bearing
him down with an unsupportahlt
ennui. And as g Hope springs eter.
nal In the humah breast, must be
directed TO some worthy object, or nc
pleasure gushes from this spring.
The man who loves q pure and hon.
0rable woman Il do not mean such a
woman as Henry Ward Beecher

York, but a woman worthy of the
name), he who loves such one, and
devotes himself to her maintenance
and comfort, and finds In present sat
isfactions q stimulous to his hope fol-
future joys, complies with all the con.
ditions of happiness named, and
must be In the possession Of the pur-
est earthly bliss. True he may Hid
cares and anxieties and troubles In
such life, but it will be infinitely
more desirable than to be- without
these Cal es, and at the same time
without their occasion. For as DIR.
Johnson has truly said, II. matri-
mony has pains, 1t Is certain that eel.
ibracy has no pleasures"
But this Is only earthly JOY. The
object we love may die tomorrow,
and leave us wretched indeed. The
true Christian complies, In the high
est sense, with the laws of happi-
ness, and Is the only truly happy
man. He has a God to love, he has
u Saviour to serve, and Heaven t.
hope for. Where. can he found more
worthy objects of his affection, ser.
vice and hope? Whence can spring
superiority? :

Gen. u. 3. Lee.

Gen. Lee is now sojourning In
Georgia to recruit his shattered
health. He arrived In Augusta on
the soth ult., accompanied by his
daughter. The Chronicle & Sentinel
of that city remarks:
"Despite the fall Of the Confedera-
ey, whose fortunes no for 80 long a
time sustained despite the surrender
of that remnant OF the heroic army
ofNorthern Virginia which he 30 often
lead to victory; despite the social and
political revolution through which
we have passed since that fatal day
at Appomattox Courthouse; Gen.
Robert f. Lee still holds the first
place in the heart of every man and
woman In the South-is still loved
and honored as the greatest soldier,
the purest patriot and the noblest
gentlemen that ever drew sword in
defence Of Liberty and Country. In
our own beautiful city Gen. Lee will
find friend In every face he meets ;
and he will find, too, many and many
Of the Boys in Gray, who, for years,
followed the banners and shared the
perils and the glories of the Army OF
Northern Virginia and who are still
proud of that army and its illustrious
commander" .Hel -.-.....
So with Gen. Lee everywhere and
on all continents. Like Saul among
the tribes Of his countrymen, he
stands head and shoulders above all
others. His purity of character, UNI
impeachable patriotism, high sense
of honor, humanity Of purpose, dis
interested devotion to section and
people, and accomplishing forbear-
ance ia the loss of his magnificent
patrimony, have endesred him to his
countrymen and the civilized world
to an extent that no man on our con-
tinent has enjoyed, save alone the
Father Of his Country. This esteem
is universal-in Massachusetts as well
as Texas, and from one end of the Un-
ion to the other. When others now
living to whom the late great struggle
gave some sort of greatness on the
other side. of Mason & Dixon's line
shall have been forgotten, the name
of Robert Lee will be on the lips and
in the hearts Of all who love to cher
ish the virtues Of the good and true.

An excellent symptom, In the new
movement, Of population. and indus
try, now so rapidly tending Auth-
ward, 10 that bodies OF settlers, OF both
native and foreign birth, are starting
out upon the co-operative principle,
combining their owns means and
their experience In various practical
pursuits with moderate capital offer
ed to them by. responsible parties.
We have heard OF several enterprises
OF this kind, within two or three
weeks, and are inclined to auguDwell
for their success.
Only few days ago, an expedition
OF about 100 persons sailed In small
vessel from this port, for certain
point In Florida, taking with them
implements, cottages In detached
pieces that may De run up ina FEW
hours, seeds, and live stock. Another
set out last week for Georgia, and
there are several more about TO leave
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, apd
Baltimore, for Southern destinations.
Among these small colonies which
have lately been, or are just about to
be established, the Swiss aud Ger
man community at Grutli, In Grun-
dy county, Tennessee, already In OPP
Grafton, may serve asa very fairspeci-
men. One OF our valued German ex-
changes, the baltimore Wecker, gives
long and interesting detailed ac-
count of 1t, In q series Of letters from
the spot, and the encouragement they
afford may be useful to ether intend
ing colonists and settlers. In Octo-
Der, 1869, there were 10 lots, of 100
acres each, left for sale to private
parties OF the original purchase. In
less than two weeks after the fact
was madepublicly known, all Of them
were taken up. The result was that
the Swiss Consul from Knoxville
visited the spot, and made two addi-
tional purchases for the colony not
far from Tracy City, and lying along
the Chattanooga Road. Together,
the quantity Of and thus added was
{, 300 acres, which have been readil y
sold at 500 to $115 for the hundred
acre let. : Ninety-five families are
already established ut the colony with
homes of their own, and more rap
idly coming. They are clearing
away the forest, and extending Their
grain and vegetable culture with
marvellous speed; they have q saw
mill and flour mill; several stores,
of different kinds; blacksmith, wag-
on-n1aking, and butcher shops; and
among the hGndicEafts, CARPENTERS,
