money IN confederate bonds, what can the
people do! was a month in daily commn-

Gated as well as had been. He had served
as aIde-de-camp throughout the war. His
house and property were utterly wasted

refused to leave them lie worked as an
oyster drcdger cheerfully, and his wife

SAYING "HATEFUL" THINGs.-What q
strange disposition is that which leads
people to say "hateful" things for the
mere pleasure of saying them you are
never safe with such person. When
you have done your best to please, and
are feeling very kindly and pleasantly,
out will pop some underhand stab which
you alone can comprehend sheer which
is masked, but which is too we'll aimed
to be misunderstood. 1t may be at your
person, your menCal feeling, your foolish
habits of thought, Or some little secret
opinions confessed in moment of genu-
inc confidence. It matters not how sa
cred it may be to you, he will have his
fling at it; and since the wish IS to make
you suffer, he is all the happier the near
er he touches your heart. Just half doz
en- words, only for the pleasure of seeing
q cheek flush and an eye lose its bright
ness, only spoken because he is afraid you
are too happy or too conceited. Yet they
are worse than 50 many blows. How ma
ny sleepless nights have such mean at
lacks caused tender hearted men! How,
after them, one wakes with aching eyes
and head, to remember that speech be
fore everything bright, sharp, we'll
aimed needle of d speech that probed the
very centre Of your soul.
