To the Editor of the Ledger;

The Appeals local notice of the Dav-
EXPORT Brothers was little unjust, and
made, doubtless, under a misapprehen-
sion of the facts. In response to the re-
quest of the Confederate Relief Associa-
ton, they very generously gave us the
full net proceeds of Friday nights en-
tertainment-the fashionable and, ordin-
arily, the most profitable night of the
week That the house was meager was
not their fault, but that of the people of
Memphis, who turned deaf ear to the
appeal of the destitute widow and or
phan. Whatever else may be said of
their truly wonderful performances, they
have thus far mystifed and baffied the
most critical in their efforts to explain
them. MINOR MERIwETHER,

BE Gentle at Home.

There are few families, we ina
gine, any where, in which love Is
not abused as furnishing the license
for lmpoliteness. a husband, IA
ther or brother, will speak harsh
words to those he loves best, simp-
ly because the security of love and
family pride keeps him from getting
his head broken. IL is a shame that
a man will speak more than impO-
litely, at times to his wife or sister,
than any other female except low
and vicious one. 1t is thus the hon
est affections OF a mans nature
proves to be wceker protection 10
a woman in the family circle than
the restraints of society, and that a
woman usually i indebted for the
Kindness and pOlitencss of life to
those not Of her own house hold
Things ought not 10 be 50. The
man, who, because it will not be re-
sented, invects his spleen aud bad
temper upon those of his own
hearth-stOne, Is a small coward and
a mean man. Kind words are circu-
lating mediums between true gen
tlemen and ladies at home, and no
polish exhibited in society can atone
for the harsh language aud disre-
spectful treatment too often indulg-
ed in between those bound together
by Gods own tie of blood, and still
more sacred bonds OF COniugal love :
These words apply with equal
force to both sexes.

Initiating an Emperor.

The following anecdote exhibits
/ the late Emperor of Russia in new
I character, As well as records one OF
! the most happy escapes from an
aW kward position that wit and pre-
sence Of mind might afford.
Some years ago there was a cele-
/ brated comic actor at st. Petersburg
named MartinOT.
He had the most extraordinary
powers of imitation, aud was so
great a favOrite with the public a.
sometimes 10 venture interpretations
Of his own, instead Of following the
advice of Hamlet to his players, Ito
speak no more than J. set down for
them
The Emperor had high cham
/ berlaiu, or person tllin" = similar
/ Office, named Poloh>ky.
Whether for fun or malice, Marti-
nofi, while performing, contrived TO
let fly some puns against this great
man, which were warmly received
by the audience.
The consequence was. ~ soon Is
the play was over, the actor found
himself in the custody of a guard Of
soldiers, who took him To prison,
where he was told he was TO be con-
fined for a fortnight.
Not content with this, PulOfISkv
either told the emperor himself, or
cOntriycd that il should come to his
ears, that the player had actually
! had the presumption 10 indulge in
imitation of his imperial majesty.
On his liberation, MartinoH went
! TO court 10 pay his respects as usual,
! and the emperor told him OF the ac-
Cusation, which he denied
Well" said the emperor = vou
never did so, let me have an imita-
tiOn of myself now. We know YOU
can do so if vou choose"
This is an awkwaEd and danger
Gus position for the poor actor, who
felt he should get into trouble for
falling short OF or OVERRIDING the
character.
Still the autOCrat was determined
and there was no escape.
SSuddcnly a bright thought struck
the actor, aHd drawing himself up,
he assumed the exact bearing and
manner of the emperor, and i'm a
voice so like, that it made every one
present start said:
"Polofisky, give MaTtiuoh (him-
self a thousand silver roublcS -
''Stop!" said the emperor. Il have
heard quite enough. The imitation
Is admirable, but the entertainment
promises TO be too expensive. Give
him the rOublcs, PolUtlsky; andnow
mind, sir. let this be the last time
you mimic, here OF elsewhere
1t j., of course, unnecessary to say
that MartinOil was too clad 10
pocket the money and escape 80

aloud, "but-whO's there?"
1t was Rosa, with two or three
white clover pinks in her hand,

And by the full, brilliant noon

NO, haven't"
An to preye the truth OF her as
sertiOn, Rosa began to cry atresh.
Look here, Rosa, said the young
man gravely, have been thinking
Of leaving Warburgh tomorrow.

'What shall l tell you?" faltcred
Rosa.
That you love Inc! that you viii
be my dear and cherished wife,
And she told me so, in the Ian
guage lovers best like TO hear.
And Mr.. Kenneth Ross stayed in
Warburgh and braved the ridiCule OF
Alice and Flora, with little Rosa
marshallcd on his side.
But he never read the girls any

Joe was duly ushered in and

Autumn.

The naples are becoming perfect
ly glorious in their royal mantles of
crimson and gold, and the entire
forests are clothed with the gorge
Gus coloriBg of autumn. And that
could be more delightful than these
golden days The atmosphere has
all the buOyancy and sweetness of Il
dawn in June, while nature every
where presents panorama of colOrS
of such exquisite delicacy and COM
binations as to challenge the recog-
milton of the most needless. In
more senses than one this is the har-

indeed happy who can gather up
and store away, in thought and
memory as well as in granary and
barn, the ripe joys and pure delights,
which autumn places within reach.
