HaStY Words.

The evil that is in our world, that rush.
es down our streets, devastating home,
running happiness, and laying waste the
pleasant places, has many fountains. Sin
does its deadly work i'll many ways, and
sorrow comes from variety Of sources.
Hasty words have much to answer for
among the rest. We are apt to think
that word or two does not matter; that
we need not trouble ourselves to be over
particular about what we say. But this
is only Que of our many mistakes. Words
live. There is so much vitality in them
they take root even upon very unlikely
soil. Hasty words are always sure to have
little sense and less kindness in them.
They ara not the offspring of meek and
quiet spirits, but of hot, passionate tenn
pers. "All men are liarsw Who but a
man in passion would have said that
The assertion is SO sweeping and unjust,
that if David had not prefaced ii by his
confession, 81 said in my haste," We should
not have noticed it. Perhaps the reason
why such words are spoken is, that the
speaker feels himself aggrieved. We often
do this in this world Of ours; we cannot
have all we wish from our friends, and so
grow frctful and angry. We are unrea-
sonable enough to suppose that all things
should be ours, and when We find only
few things coming to our share, then We
become diScOntentcd and peeyish and
speak foolish, hasty words.

Two esteemed friends assured me that
their ccnsciences are occasionally awake
in sleep; on the other hand great many
more tell me that their experience entire
ly corroborate my own observations.
For example, an admirable and most
kind-hearted lady informed me that she
had palmed off bad sixpence on beg
gar, and chuckled at the notion of his
disappointment. A distinguished phi
lanthropist, exercising for many years
high judicial functions, continually COM
mits forgery, and only regrets the net
when he learns that he is TO be hanged.
A woman, whose life Mt the time of her
dream was devoted to the instruction Of
pauper children, seeing one Of them
make face at her, doubled him into
the smallest compass, and poked him
through the bars Of lions cage. One
of the most benevolent of men, who
shared not at all in the military enthu-
siasm of his warlike brothers (the late
Mr.. Richard Napier ran hfs best friend
through the body, and ever after recalled
The extreme qualification he had expert
enced on seeing the point OF his sword
come out through the shoulder of his
friend. Other crimes committed i'll
dreams need not be here recorded, but
I am persuaded that if we could but
know all the improper things done by
most people in their sleep with the ut
most sang froid and complete unblush-
ing effrontery, the picture would pre-
sent diverting contrast to our knowl-
edge of them in their conscious hours.
If the moral sense be not wholly sup
pressed in sleep, there is certainly en-
ough evidence TO conclude that it is
only exceptionally active, and $50 far as
I yet learn) only in the case of dreams
assuming the character OF nightmares,
in which the CONSCIOUSNESS is fur less
perfectly dormant than in others.

PARIS I'm BLOOD.

- 81
The removal of the seat of government
from Bordeaux to Versailles instead OF
Paris, gives to the Theirs Government a
decided advantage in its present contest
with the insurgents. Theirs spent large
part of his life in writing the history of the
first revolution, and his experience with
the revolutions of 1880 and 1s4S. His OBJ
servations taught him that mob, such as
Paris often raises, can sool overthrow a
Government in that city, drive out its Off
GERS andestabIish their own leaders as their
successors. In going to Versailles, Thiers
doubtless believed he and his associates
would be better able to retain possession
of the Government, and this was probably
his principal object in avoiding the city so
prolific of mobs.
Our dispatches, which we publish this
morning, are of a very grave and alarming
character. They show that the conflict
has at last come, but also indicate that the
Versailles Government viii probably be
able to maintain its authority. Our advices
at this writing are not very satisfactory
as to the number of forces engaged, but
show that spirited conflict is going on.
Over one hundred thousand persons
have left the city, and its streets are re-
ported as deserted. Every friend of hui
nianity will hope that the struggle will be
short and not fierce.

JUSTICE TO EAST TENNESSEE.

From the New York Tribune containing
oureadyertisenent of our East Tennessee,
articles, correspondent at Beverly, New
Jersey, clips the following item:
Owing to the unsettled condition of society il
the Southern States, large numbers from the
Middle and Eastern States, who had determin-
ed to locate South, have arranged to make thelI
fururs homes along the line of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad.
And thereupon writes US as follows;
Aft YOU ever look for successful immigration
to the South, it will be after you organise and
drill for the wiping out of the Kuklux."
We know it is difficult for persons North
to disconnect East Tennessee from other
sections of the South. It ought not to be,
if they recall the history of the war. Can
they not remember how this mountain
section stood out alone amid the storm Of
secession Jnat swept over the South I? AS
it stood firm by the Government during
the rebellion, SO it now stands firm for the
faithful and rigid execution of the laws.
There is no lawlessness within our thirty
counties. There is gross injustice in our
friends North confusing us with the
Kuklux sections of the South. AS we have
NpC0tCOty NCOAhAOuf tAiOtO 10 NV nov tshU
neuer has been any KukJtE IN East Ten
aessee. In our persons and property we
are in fact full as safe as our correspondent
i'm New jersey. We believe these Kuklux
troubles, in great measure, grow out of a
disturbed and diseased public sentiment
The people of East Tennessee, respecting
the Government and its laws and IN sym
patty Nth tie leading measures of Con-
gress and the administration, and being
free from the rule of disorganizing spirits,
have no liberation for lawlessness, and
would by decisive and vigorous measures
disperse any such lawless bands. We
therefore desire to impress upon. the minds
of Our readers everywhere, that in East
Tennessee there are s,e Kukl,tx, no Iasctess
bands Of any Kind, but that civil law is as
supreme and as rigidly administered as any
where. Immigrants who want to come
here need not, therefore, hesitate for any
such reasons We assure them these facts
are true. We challenge any contradiction
of them. Webeiieve these Kuklux stories
have done us great harm, but if our read
ers North will make the effort, the injus-
tice can be repaired. All we ask is that
the truth shall be understood.

the leading issues before the country now
