RADICAL rule In the South aC-
complishes greater wonders than
ever before conceived. COrrup-
ton, fraud, hypocrisy and kindred
vices are but additional recon-
mendations to Radical constituent
cy. A case in point is this: The
piOus Radical carpet. .bagger and
cadet peddler, Whittemore,
whom the scrupnlously honest
and eminently sanctimOnious
Congress could not associate with,
and Indignantly kicked out, as LO-
gan said, for selling his influence
at so cheap a rate, has been re-
elected by his negro constituency.
1t is alleged that he effected this
triumph over his virtuous foes in
Congress by imposing upon his
plantation constituents the belief
that "the cadetship which he was
convicted of selling was an old
worn-out ship which he disposed
of because it leaked" Under
the circumstances, the intelligent
voters Of his district considered it
a clear case Of persecution and re-
elected him at once.
But the question now is, what
will Congress do about itS How
can the great Dirty Work Logan
associate with such a man? The
pious Van Wyck, of New York,
who occupies q seat to which
another man was elected, will be
grossly sCandalized by such 3 con
temporary! How is it possible
for the pious Schenck to abide
the companionship Of this man
Then all the other loyal brethrer
who were convicted of the samt
OfFense as Whittemore, but mag
unanimously shared his punishment
what will they say to his com
ing back? It is q troublesom,
question staring that godly an'
exemplary body straight in th,
face. 1t 10 an elephant Of gigan
tic proportions. A Washington
correspondent says: "Few appea
to be settled in their own mind
as to what course they can pursue
It appears that there is no prece
dent for this case. Members ex
PEELED have been returned to
succeeding Congress, but He~s
before OF the same session." Som
body suggests that he be tried b
a military commission and hanget
But that would never do, becauG
he is loyal. Military commission
and hanging are only for disloys
Democrats. But will Congress
dare to receive back the man the
have just expelled ? Will It no
be qualification to take him back
We know there is not much NOR
dignity left in Congress than hon
esty; but will 1t not be derogator
from the measure Of dignity tha
is left to have this proven peddle
Of appointments, this reverence,
liar and peJurer, thrust back upoI
itT
But we imagine that the virtu
Gus indignation Of the noisy hip
ocrites exhausted itself in th
expulsion st this representatlv
scoundrel, and that now bis con

Thus Radical Carpet-bag gov
ernment costs that State about
three times as much as was ever
required for similar purposes.
The result has been about the
same in South Carolina. The
credit Of both States has been
about ruined by the vampires who
have fastened upon their treasures
in the name Of Radicalism, and all
because Of the loyal necessity of
DISTINGUISHING white citizens.
What is more about this matter,
is the Radical party does not pay
one flftieth of this immense and
ruinous burden Of taxation. The
Radical party in the South con.
sists of negroes and worthless

The COUNT AND TIE DovE.-I remember
having read some time ago, beautiful story
of Zinzinnorf when boy He was, as [
dare say you lsnow, great German noble,
and lived to do great deal of good in the
world
One day when he was playing with his
hoop near the banks Of deep river which
flowed outside the walls of castle where he
lived, he espied dove struggling in the wa
ter. BY some means the poor little creature
had fallen into the river and was unable to
escape. The little Count Immediately rolled
large washing tub which had been left
near to the waters edge jumped into it.,
and though generally very timid Oh the
water, by the aid of stick he manged to
steer himself across the river to the place
where the dove lay floating and struggling.
With the bird in his arms he guided the tub
back, and got safely to land. After warm
ing the little captive tenaerly in his bosom,
the boy ran with it into the woods and set
it free His mother, who had watched the
whole transaction in trembling anxiety from
her bedroom window now came out
"But were you not afraid p she asked.
Eyes, I was, rather" he answered but
l could not bear that it should die SO. You
know, mother. its little ones might have
been watching for it to come home"

Sophronius, wise teacher, would not
suffer his grown up sons and daughters to
associate with those whose conduct was not
pure and upright. Dear father said the
gentle Eulalia to him one day, when he for
babe her, in company with her brother, to
visit tho volatile Lucinda, You must think
us very childish if you imagine that we
would be exposed to danger by it, The
father took in silence dead coal from the
hearth, and reached it to his daughter. 1T
will not burn you, my child, take it, She
did so, and behold! her delicate white hand
was soilel and blackened, and her dres.
soiled too I'VE cannot be too careful in
handling Goals; even if they do not burn,
they blacken. So it is with the company Of
the yicious.''

A PLAIN TRUTn.-No man has right
to marry till, in every human probability,
assured that he can support family in his
own. station. Mere love or improvident
matches seldom turn out well; poverty comes
and there is so much self-reproach on either
side, that gall is added to its bitterness; their
tempers are ssured, and they soon wish
themselves unmarried But when trial as
sails an attached, reasonable pair, sorrow
unites them closer; the man, feeling how
much depends on him, never flags in his ex-
ertion, and often RECEIVERS the lost step; if
not, there is still consolation in his wife s
unvarying love-in her sweet, noiseless sac
rifces. In these uncertain times there are
few commercial men who have met with re-
verses; and they will often say: Had it
not been for those at home | should have
blown my brains out; could not have
stood it, Wife and children ! they are a
beacon to us in our sea; we renew the strug-
gle when ready to sink beneath the wave,
and at last are saved At the worst, when
all is blank-when friends are cooled or re-
proached-when the cruelest doubt assails us
there is still one who respects and loves
us; at home we are still dear.

Ruskin says: An educated man ought tc

Ruskin says: An educated man ought to
know three things: first, where he is--that
is to say. what kind of world he has got
into; how large it is, what kind of creatures
live in it, and how what it is made Of and
what may be made of it. Secondly, where
he is going-that is to say, what chances or
reports there are of any other world beside
this what seems to be the nature of the
other world. Thirdly, what he had best do
under the circumstances what are the pres
ent state and wants of mankind; what are
the readiest means in his power Of attaining
happiness and difusing it. The man who
knows these things, and has his will so sub
dued that he is ready to do what he knows
he ought is an educated man and the man
who knows them not, is uneducated, al
though he could talk all the tongues Of
Babel, ..-. 49,. e

SENSIBLE FASHION. 1t is said that freck-
les are coming into fashion, most sensible
fashion it is, too for the prevention of them
has caused untold diseases among our ladies.
In order to keep their skin white they keep
out of the sun light, the great source Of
health, and shut themselves up in dark
rooms, inducing scrofuls in its numberess
forms. In consequence of this deprivation
of light and fresh air the women of Ameri-
ca toe often pass lives of misery and drop
into the grave before their time. We are
sure that every good brown freckle would
add at least IL week, if not month, to the
life of many Of our women, and good health
make their dispositions sweeter and render
them better wives and mothers.
We therefore hail this new fashion, and
we hope that hereafter the girl with the
most freckles will stand the best chance of
getting good husband. -No7oh Journal.

Poetry,
Art Thou Living Yet?
BY JAMES G. CLARKE

Il there 40 grand, immortal sphere
Beyond this realm of broken ties,
To fill the wants that mock us here,
And dry the tears from weeping eyes;
When Winter melts in endless Spring,
And June stands near with deathless flowers
Where we may hear the dear ones sig
Who loved US in this world of ours!
ask, and 10! my cheeks are wet
With tears for one cannot see;
o, mother, art thou living yet
And dost thou still remember me?
I feel thy kisses DER me thrill,
Thou unseen angel of my life,
I hear thy Hymns around me thrill
An undertone to care and strife;
Thy tender eyes upon me shine,
As from a being glorified;
Till am thine and thou art mine,
And forget that thou hast died,
1 almost lose each vain regret
In visions of a life to be;
But, mother, art thou living yet,
And dost thou still remember me?
The Spring times bloom, the Summers fade,
The Winters blow along my way;
But over every light and shade
Thy memory lives by night and day.
It sooths to sleep my widest pain,
Like some sweet song that cannot die,
And like the murmur of the main,
Grows deeper when the storm is nigh.
know the brightest stars that set
Return to bless the yearning sea?
But, mother, art thou living yet,
And dost thou still remember me?
sometimes think thy soul comes back
From DER the dark and silent stream,
Where last we watched thy shining track,
To those green hills of which we dream;
Thy loving arms around me Irvine,
My cheeks bloom younger in thy breath,
Till thou art mine and am thine.
Without thought Of pain or death;
And yet, at times, mine eyes are wet
With tears for her cannot see;
o, mother, art thou living yet,
And dost thou still remember me?
