Practical Results.

The Enquirer does not relish the practical re-
suits Of the kind of Reconstruction which has
been effected in the Southern States 1t says
"A year ago negro Lieutenant Governor in
Louisiana; then negro on the Republican
State ticket 10 Virginia; then negro Secre-
tary Of State in Mississippi; then Senator Rev
ell and now negro on the bench of the Su-
preme Court of South Carolina.
This is Republicanism this is the party we
are invited to join on the ground that we must
eschew and put sentiment behind us, and 60
only for results.
We do not like the results We do not
like these negro legislatures, and these negro
Secretaries of State, and these negro Supreme
Judges.
1t is perfectly idle to tell us we'll ''get used
to it." we cannot get used to it. We have an
unconquerable prejudice In favor of the white
race.
Nothing but the most unblushing effrontery
would ever have dreamed OF forming white
Republican party in the South. Just look at
South Carolina. Two-thirds of the Legislature
negroes. And the whites of the South are
mildly invited to countenance and co-operate.
In Virginia we have got the majority, and
we intend to make use of it. The laws will be
executed; the negroes will be treated kindly
they will vote under the laws; but we shall TIL
the offices with white men.
It is enough to make the blood boil when we
recall all that has happened in the past five
years-and contemplate the present condition
of South Carolina or FIorida-or Louisiana
(where the law provides for mixed schools =
and then observe in some Northern or South
ern paper quiet expectation that some OF Us
here are going to join the Republican party.
1t is perfectly well known at the North that
nothing but Fear or some pecuniary advantage
could tempt anybody here to act with the Re-
publican party-saving and excepting a hand
full of original and consistent Unionists. And
when any politician here shall receive that
brand. aud join that column, be will first have
stifed all of his natural feelings, and have .e-
ieced from his future life all that finer expe-
rience of humanity which, classed under the
general head of the sentiments" we distin.
guish from the purely material and anlma
within US. Now no money can pay for such 9
loss as this; if our whole people were reduced
to such frame as this, they would indeed be
little better than ''the beasts that perish. =
All-aN would indeed be lost; and people may
sneer as much as they choose at what they are
pleased to denominate distractions but Ii
their view of the matter, Religion, Morality
Honor, Duty, Self Respect, all of the natura
sensibilities are nothing when set in the scale
against the Practical nothing, we mean, i
their ideas are pushed to their realization.
Now we submit this proposition: Pure utlll
acknowledgements IS tht
very worst practical life man can lead.

''The Wrong Done to Virginia and the
Remedy.

The New York Journal of Commerce, which
endorses the position of the Tribune in regard
to the admission of Virginia with unnecessary
and humiliatng conditions, says:
''The wrong done to Virginia consists not
only in this wanton flourish of the congression-
al whip over its back, intended as spiteful as
sertion of its vassalage to Its congressional mas
ters, but in threat of future supervision which
these provisos are intended to imply There
can be no peace, no settled material prosperity
until this hand Of authority is wholly removed
and the equality of the State with all its sister.
is fully admitted. The best that can be done
to meet the present emergency is for Virgins
to accept the terms gracefully, and to give the
lie to all the SANDERS that have been uttered
against her people by quiet, orderly govern
mept on the basis proposed. .

With her apostolic husband just gone before h

ove:"
I gazed down lifes dim labyrinth,
A wildering maze to see,
Crossed Ger by many tangled clew,
And wild as wild could be;
And as gazed in doubt and dread,
An angel came to me.
I knew him for a heavenly guide,
l knew him even then.
Though meekly as child he stood
Among the sons of men
BY his deep spirit-loveliness,
knew him even then.
And as / leaned my weary head
Upon his proffered breast
And scanned the peril haunted wild
From out my place of rest,
I wondered if the shining ones
OF Eden were more blest.
For there was light within my soul.
Light on my peaceful way,
And all around the blue above
The clustering starlight lay;
And easterly l saw upreared
The pearly gates of day.
So, hand in hand, we trod the wild,
My angel love and L

With tokens from the sky;
Strange my dull thoughts could not divine

And tbickly in my tangled path
The sharp bare thorns are sown.
Yet firm my foot, for well / know

And ever. through the rifted clouds,
Shines out one steady star.
For when my guide went up, he left

There is mystery about this effect of the
weather on piety. Sabbath heat seems hotter

sure of heat or cold or rain on week day will
not keep him from his usual business. We
need Sabbath Almanac, calculated for our
churches, that will show by lis weather scale
when it will be safe for vigorous Christian to
expose himself on the Sabbath by going to the
house Of God. Such an almanac would enable
pastors and superintendents of Sabbath schools
to know whom they could depend on in church,

which are truly suggestive: Sorrows best
antidote is employment. Beauty devoid of grace
is like hook without bait. Con6ne your ex-
penses, or they will confne you. If you cannot
do as you wish, do as well as you can. Promises
made in time of affliction require better me-
mory than people commonly possess. When

FAILURE NOT DEFEAT.-If ever failure SEEM
ed to rest on noble life, it was when the Son
of Man, deserted by his friends, heard the cry
which proclaimed that the Pharisees had drawn
the net around the Divine victim. Yet from
that very hour of defeat and death, there went
forth the worlds life; from that moment of ap-
parent failure, there proceeded forth into the
ages the spirit of the conquering Cross. Surely,
if the Cross says any thing it says that apparent
defeat is often real victory, and that there is a
heaven for those who have noby and truly fail
ed on earth.

The Kitchen Garden.

FARMERS, generally, pay too little at
tention to the kitchen garden. Many of
them think it beneath their dignity to
bestow any labor, or even a thought on
the few square rods Of ground, enclosed
by paled fence near the dwelling house,
called "the garden" This small portion
of the farm is handed over to the good
housewife to be managed and worked by
herself and daughters, with the aid, it may
be, of the hired house-help. Even few
wheel barrow loads Of manure is begrudg-
ingly awarded as a great favor and esti-
mated as an entire loss to the farm.
After a few weeks there is brought to
the table peas, beans, radishes, onions, as
paragus, tomatoes, cabbagcs, early p0ta-
toes, turnips, sweet corn, and small fruits
strawberries, raspberries and black
berries. Each in its proper season and
each cooked, favored and served up as
the intelligent wife of a farmer knows
how to do it. The farmers plate is serv-
ed with each in its turn, accompanied
with graceful smiles. He eats with a
relish, satisfies his appetite, and that is all
never whispers an approving word He
has always been accustomed to have such
things on the table through the summer,
and expects them as u matter of course,
without ever thinking of their real value
and the labor and care required to pro-
duce them from that little despiscd
kitchen garden.-Amsrican Stock Journal

Best Way to Sow Glover Seed.

CLOVER is undoubtedly the most Geo.
nomical.and valuable fertilizer that can be
used in the West. We frequently hear of
farmers sowing clover seed, but they COM
plain that it don't take, so that they lose
their seed; consequently they become
discouraged and discontinue sowing their
land, saying that they cannot afford to
SOW seed to be lost.
The price of seed is now high. The
times are said by many to be hard. SO
let us ecOnOmize. If we should leave the
corn and wheat which we plant and sow,
lying on top of the ground, without COW
ering, they wouldn't take; neither would
our cabbages or radishes, and other seeds
which we SOW in our gardens, if left in
the same way.
Sow your clover seed with Spring bar
ley or oats (the former is Detter,) immedi-
ately after narrowing the last time, which
should be thoroughly done, to have the
ground well pulveriZed. Instead Of the
harrow, cut large round brush, (honey
locust is good0 lop the inside limbs to
make all bear alike on the ground, and
brush your clover seed in the same way
as you would harrow your barley or oats.
One bushcl of seed sOwn in this way on
nine or ten acres Of ground, will make
your clover thicker than the same guam
tity on seven or eight acres of wheat
ground left exposed to the drought, and
to the chances of falling into the cracks,
in which half of it finds resting place.

How Small Expenditures Count.

FIVE cents each morning. ere trifle
Thirtytve cents per week-nOt much !;
yet i. would buy coffee and sugar for
whole family, $1S.2G year-and this
amount invested in q savings bank, at
the end of year, and the interest there
on at six per cent. computed annually,
would in twelve years amount to more
than $610-enough to buy good farm in
the West.
Five cents before breakfast, dinner and
supper you'd hardly miss it, yet it is fif-
teen cents day-$105 week
S54-G0 per year = enough to buy
a small library of books. Invest
this as before, and in twenty years you
have over 5000. Quite enough to buy a
good house and lot.
Ten cents each morning --hardly worth
a second thought yet with ityou can buy
paper of pins or a spool of thread. Sew
enty cents per week-it would buy sew
eral yards of muslin S36 40 in one year
deposit this amount as before, and you
would have 81, $40 in twenty years, quite
a snug little fortune. Ten cents before
each breakfast, dinner and supper-tnirty
cents day. 1t would buy n book for the
children; $2f0a week, enough to pay
paper; $1,000 per year-with it you
could buy good melodcon, on which
your wife and daughter could procure
good music, to pleasantly while the
evening hours away. And this amount
invested as before, would in forty years
produce the desirable amount of $4,000.
