THE FsEScH RKruBrio-A CoNrRAsr.-
There can be no republic where there is
faith neither in God nor man. The lead
ers of the French people arc almost uni
fOrmly in6dels and atheists, who recog-
nize only single omnipresent. omnipoienti
fact. namely, universal selfshness. On
this they rely; in this they thoroughly
believe; BY this they direct their action.
They believe that every man would glad.
ly stand upon his brother, neck to reach
to power. They have no more faith in
women than in men, aud this fact is re-
coguizsd and pronounced throughout the
structure and machinery of their social
lfe, Ono of the most striking comments
upon their character is their rebellion,
upon the first opportunity that presents
ITSELF against all TIE restraints, appoint
ments, and officers Of religion. Witness
the recent Imprisonment OF "servants of
person called Cod" They violate church.
es, desccratc affairs, imprison priests, in
wade and dispcrso religious houses, and
do il all in the sacred name of liberty.
That the form Of religion whi,h they thus
insult has had much to do in making them
what they are, there can BE- no question /;
but the fact shows that they not only have
no faith in the Roman Catholic represent
alton of Christianity, but they have no
faith in any Christianity, and no faith in
God himself Contrast the action and
feeling of these men with that of the
American people during the late civil
war in this country. The moment the
two sections found themselves engaged in
a struggle, both became intensely relig-
ious. There were more prayers than
oaths on camp and battlefield: and all
over the discordant States there was
fresh interest in Christian truth and in
) Christian institutions. The difference in
material for a republic offered respective
ly by France and America can be seen
in nothing more plainly than in this, that
when the former is in trouble she rebels
madIy against every religious restraint,
: and everything associated with religious
i restraint; and that when the latter comes
0 to trial her first thought is to fall upon
: her knees, or devote herself with fresh
: conservation to religious duty.--Dr. J. G
: Holland in Scribner's for June.

Now, TN jist tell you, then; sit down.
Here, wife, this is the chap as wants
To buy your little mare, b,lle Brown.
It's afteen years ago; let's see
Say more, four months, and yoo'Il just smash
The time, Bill Smith, Jim Choke and /,
Went lumb'rin on the Allcgash.
Hard crowd we were, | reckon, then;
Old times, YOU know, and to pitch in,
Fight, swear and play, were fashion; and
Each man took his glass Of good gin
'Twer colder than the hand Of death
That night; we drank, and fought and playe,
The fire was roaring up the wall;
Aud we dead drunk, all of us layed.
Then. somethin' told my in my sleep,
/ Told me the old camp was a fire:
Somehow woke and found the door;
Leayin' behind my clothes and hair,
Quick to the stall where was that mare.
She shook. her eyes did shine like fire,
| grabb d blanket, mounted her,
Aud Bess, whispered in her ear,
"'Twecn God and you it is, fear,
To save jim Burt, or leave him here"
Aal for her answer on she went,
Ten miles down to the settlement.
What did think gin the rider
Well now, guess, twas Of my hide;
One rug is rather light on clothes;

With one hand frozen to her name;
Down thro' the the lonely loggia' lane;
Nor wor nor bride needed she
To make her de her best for me:
For horses know, it's true as breed,
She knew my life was in her speed.
When was s1yin' my last prayer,
She stopped me up at Old Browns, there,
And fell off against the door,
With teeth enough to pull the string,
Fell in Il heap down on the floor.
And iln'twako till in the spring,
Till grass was green around the house;
The old mans girl, that's Belle, my wife,
Was there beside my bed, my nurse;
But Brown Bcss, gal had saved my life,
And, when she dies, I'll make her grave
A good as anyin the turf,
And put upon her headstone there;
Here lies Brown Bess, my brave old mare.

INDIA RUBBER. belt Of land around
the globe, 500 miles north and 500 miles
south Of the equator abounds in trees
producing the gum of india rubber They
can be tapped, it is stated, for 20 success
sive seasons without injury, and the trees
stand so close that one man can gather
the sap Of so in day, each tree yielding
on an average three table-spoonfulls daily.
Forty-three thousand Of these trees have
been counted in tract Of country thirty
miles long by eight wide. There are in
America and Europe more than l5O
manufactures of india rubber articles,
employing some 500 operatives each, and
consuming more than 10000, 600 pounds
of the gum per year, and the business is
considered to be still in its infancy. But
to whatever extent it may increase, there
will still be plenty of rubber to supply the
demand.

"DOu't Tell BetSey Jane

"And for your life, don't tell Betsey
Jane "
Mr. Nicodcmus Harding, having uttered
this caution in low, earnest tone of voice
alightc6 from Concord wagon in front Of
his own farmhouse door, and stood there
few minutes IN brow study, watching
the figure of his brother-in.law and the
lawyer, as he drove back toward the vii
lage of W, whence the two men had
just come.
Don't tell Betsey Jane ~
Now Betsey Jane was Mr.. NicoIemus
Hardiug's wife stirring, notable soul,
who made more butter and cheese, and
took moreeggs and fowls to market in the
course of season than any other woman
for miles around Strong, healthy and
| hearty, she made the house work fly, to
use her own energetic expression; and il
Nicodemus Harding owned his farm that
day and was well to-do, in fact arich man
to boot, it was owing in no small measure
to the skill and energy and general goa
headativeness Of his Betsoy Jane. What
was it, then, that the ungrateful man was
not about to tell her?
"It would never do, nevor!" thought
Nicodemns to himself shaking his head.
"Sho'd be wanting a new carpet, or new
silk gown, or the house all painted over,
or some such nonsense. No, the woman
is the weaker vessl, it won't do to trust
one too far. Their heads won't bear it"
So Nicodemus passed through the house
and out toward the barn with the prc-oc-
cupied air of hen who has an egg to lay,
and don't know where she can hide it from
the eyes humankind to the best advantage.
The kitchen was empty and silent as he
went through it. But oh! if he could
have seen the buxom, good looking female
who stole silently out Of the pantry, and
as silently followed him on his way toward
the barn.
Mrs. Harding came back in about twen.
ty minutes or so, with face red from
suppressed laughter
"Don't tell Betsey Jane" she said,
giggling in her gingham apron. "You
are very smart man, Nicodemus, and
4 my brother, Tim Noyes, is another, and
lawyer in the bargain. Don't tell Betsey
Jane, indeed Two wretches, you deserve
all you'll get, pretty soon =
Betsey Jane said no more, but bided
her time. A week passed away, ant
then brother Tins wagon drove up again
to the door, and Nicodemus stepped int
it, and was off to the village once more
Betsey Jane had asked in vain TO CO.

A TERRIBLE REyENGE-EIGHTY-nvE
INDIANS KILLED.-The Tuscan (ArizoniaJ
Citizen of the Sd inst, has the following:
The suffering and exasperated people
have commenced the work of retaliation
on the Indians. Their patience has been
remarkable; but the killing of four good
citizens on the San Pedro by the Indians
fed and otherwise provided for at camp
Graut exhausted it. There is no Indian
reservation at camp Grant, but few hun
dred Apaches recently came there They
promised peace, and were fed and recruit
ed, and from thence went out to steal and
murder. Having tracked the guilty ones
to their base of supplies two weeks ago,
the citizens determined to make their pow
er felt, and on the 2Sth of April a few OF
them, aided by one hundred Popago In
dians, started en- mission of revenge and
self-protection. Early on the morning OF
the Both, they dashed into the Indian
camp killing cighty-fve savagcs and TAX
ing twenty-oight children prisoners. A
horse recently stolen from man named
Smith, Of Tuscon, was captured, and some
unbroken packages of centre primed cart
ridges, and breastpin worth 5000, that
belonged to woman recently killed at
Tubec. were found on these Indians, max
ing it certain that they were the same L.
dians that killed L. B. Wooster and q
woman on his farm. Certain citizens Of
Arizona will no longer witness the MUIR
der of their fellows and the stealing Of
their property, and tamely endure it.

PUrrING A Foor IN IT.-A very curious
mode of trying the title to land is prac-
ticed in Hindostan. Two holes are dug
in the disputed spot, in each of which the
plaintiffs and defendants lawyer put one
of their legs aud there remain until one
of them is tired, in which case his client
is defeated. In this country it is the
client and not the lawyer who puts his
foot in it.

rem ~vallies, its naked slopes and its bald
hills would utter a shaming reproach and
condemnation. Now, this is fact. We
cannot deny it. We must own it abso-
lutely. We must do something or retro
gade even to poverty. Our acres must
receive more than an ample return for
what they give. They must drink the re-
freshing and recurerative baptismal of re-
storatives. and then we shall have a graft
tude in the way of blushing haryests and
plethoric granaries and barns. The dor
nancy of enterprise will quicken into life
and animation. commerce will expand with
the elasticity of a healthy circulating me-
dunn, the Golfers of the timid capitalist
will be thrown open, and every industry
will be vitalized into the greatest activity.
We must begin a new era in agricultu-
raj arts to attain these results. We must
adopt the progressive ideas of the age and
the deductions of scientific investigation.
We must learn wisdom from the past and
from others. We must throw away the
effete theories and depicting practices of a
by-gone age, and live to learn, emulate,
investigate, and teach. Our ambitions
must be fired, our energies be made stead
fast, our efforts be untiring, u zeal be
without flag ; then may we expect a rich
harvest of rewards and that our section
shall become a COLOSSUS of Rhodes amid
its surroundings.

tinguished for his feryent piety and be-
ing at the head of the largest religious or
ganization in. the Union, though he
sees fit to decline the responsibility, his
nomination is an evidence of the Presi-
dents honesty. Prof. White though
learned in geology and topography knows
nothing of politics. As for Ben. Wade.
his honesty is acknowledged. He is the
only politician ON the Commission, and he
has been out of the business SO long he has
lost all aspirations of that character. Gen.

his honesty, ability and high standing are

WE MUST DO Or DIE.

We do not put forth our heading in a
theological sense. We mean the encourage
ment and promotion of agriculture and the
results that flow from it. 1t is undeniable
that our present system of culture is liter
ally an impoverishment and butchery of
our lands. They, year after year, are SUBJ
jected to the deleterious influence of rapid
growth, and no regenerative agencies ap-
piled. Our farmers. in the main, regard
~phosphates and fertilizers with no more
favor and as of no more value than mere
saw dust and dead weeds. They never
burn a lime kiln, regarding it as useless
and .proftless toll. Their fields are infest-
ed with sage, bramble and bush, instead
of rejoicing with the invigorating and re-
storative influences of clover and rich
grasses. They use what should be called
Swimmers, instead of the deep-cleaving
ploughshare. They waste their valuable
timber with a profigacy and disregard of
economy, as if such splendid forests as we
now have, were the growth of a year.
Steadily the noxions growth advances upon
their acres, and like a decimated and
beaten scldiery. they retreat with an
equal and steady pace. They appear con-
tent with the productions of their soil, If
furnishing a bare slf6ciency from year to
year, when, if it had the nourishment and
culture for which it appeals to natures
God. would, with unstinted generosity,
yield a harvest abundant for home, and a
surplus on which to base a fortune that
would afford luxurious ease, and grant m
munity from harrassing perplexities.
the embarrassments of debt and the hard
ships and sufferings of penury and want.
Can We with truth, deny the fact that our
soil is growing poorer and poorer with
each lapsiug year? Can we with truth say,
conversely asking that we are advancing
and progressing in the theory and practice
of agricultural science? Can we assert
that to the tenth part of a degree, wephave
availed ourselves of the capabilities of our
soil and met the requirements imposed up;
on us by its promise ofrichest gifts, should
we but return its robbed treasure Of virgin

THE LEGISLATURES AND THE
QUO WARRANTO CASES.

A resolution has passed the Tennessee
Senate authorizing the Governor to en-
ploy Connsel to represent the Defendants
in the quo warrantoicases from this State
now pending before the Supreme Court
of the United States at Washington.
Oh all the ridiculous measures our pres
ent body of law makers have undertaken,
this is certainly the most unaccountable.
A number of individuals in attempting
to crafty an Unsuitable greed for Office.
have seen proper to take the responsible
ty of violating a law of Congress. 4 Now
our State Government gravely steps for
ward and proposes to make the law abid-
ing people of the State pay for defending
them against a prosec ution they knowing
ly and willfully brought upon themselves,
aud this at a time when the State is una
bic to pay the officers employed to carry
on the State Government. What inter-
est nave the good farmers of East Ten
nessee in these men that they should pay
a tax for defending them for violation of
a law which they desire should be en-
forced? Such a proposition is an outrage
upon every tax payer in the State, and
especially upon the loyal and law abiding
men who have no disabilities to remove
and who should have the Offices which
these men have aleady proved themselves
unworthy to hold. We have been no iad-
vocate of reconstruction, but were we in
search of an argument in favor of it we
would want nothing better than to say the
only men in the State who are capable of
being elected to Office are loaded with dis
abilities which they have for five years
s~tubbornly refused to ask to have remov-
ed. They were too proud of .heir disloy-
ally to ask a Radical Congress to relieve
them of Disqualification brought on by
it. The truth is the most of these men
were elected to Office as a reward for mer-
~itorious services rendered the Rebellion,
and the present proceeding is only carry
ing out the original determination, to put
them in Office and keep them there des-
pite of any thing Congress might do to
prevent it. q
~ Since writing the above we learn that
the resolution mentioned failed to pass
the House. Even that unscrupulous bo-

nifty of such a proceeding.
