RICH WITHOUT MoNEY.-Many q
man is rich without money. Thou
sands of men without nothing in the
pocket, are rich. A man born with a
good, sound constitution, good stom-
acll, a good heart, and good limbs, and
pretty good-piece, is rich. Good
bones are better than gold, tough mus
cles than silver, and nerves that flash
fire and carry energy to every function,
are better than houses or lands.
1t is better than landed estate to
have had the right kind IF father and
mother.
Good breeds and bad breeds exist
among men as really as among hetds
and horses. Education may do much
to check evil tendencies, or to develop
good ones; but it is a great thing to
inherit the right proportion of facul-
ties to start with.
The man is rich who has a good dis
position-who is naturally kind, pa
tient, cheerful, hopeful and who has a
flavor OF wit and fun in his compost
ton. The hardes. thing to get along
with in this life is a mans own self.
A cross, selfish fellow, a Responding
and complaining fellow, a timid, care
burdened man, these are all born de-
formed on the inside. Their feet may
not limp, but theirthoughts do.

Northern interests and opinions must
be consulted, and all proper and rea-
sonable sacrifices made to serve the
purpose sought. We have shown that
no material sacrifice is asked of the
South, and this circumstance makes us
the reattier to unite with our Northern
friends at the same time that it makes
US the more impatient of those imprac-
ticable spirits who would sacrifice eve
rybody and everything at the bidding
Of an insane ebullition of sentiment
and bad temper. If the Democratic
party survives the rack to which it has
been put by these turbulent spirits, it
will prove itself the Invest and hardest
institution of which political annals,
ancient or modern, give any account.
That it will survive is a hope which
we entertain rather on account of what
it has stood out against than from any
general calculation as to vitality under
difficulties,
Of one thing, however, we are GER
tain, and that is the ultimate ascen-
dancy Of the peace spirit over the war
spirit. We can not go on forever ha-
ting and prosecuting one another. If
there be Que trait in the American
character which is conspicuous, it is its
sunny and active temper, which, when
left to its own devices and desires, is
disposed to render justice. If there be
any vitality in. American institutions,
it will give this free and hearty spirit
a chance to do the fair thing. So,
with many forcbodings, we are content
to jog along and hope for the best, do
ing what we can to bring it about in
the meantime. The result will surely
be wrought in the end; but it could be
worked out half again as soon if we
could silence half a dozen guns that
are perpetunlly going off at the breach
instead Of the muzzle, and gripping
the friends of the South INSTEAD of pour
ing hot shot into the enemies of the
Constitution. - Courier-Journal.

The Force Of Purpose.

The great mass of humanity float
down the stream of life without having
any purpose in view. They are borne
along by circumstances, and content
with mediocrity. 1t is only those who
aim to rise who do rise, and mere aim
ing is not all that is required for ad-
vancenent in life. One must have an
object in, view and rigidly adhere to it,
remember the old adage: "What will
do l can do" Samuel Smiles very tru-
ly observes: "NIere wishes and desires
but engender sort of green sickness
IN young minds, unless they are prompt
y embodied in act decd. 1t will not
avail merely to wish, rs so many do,
until Butcher comes up" but they
must struggle on, and perseyere. in the
meantime, as Wellington did. The
good purpose once formed must be car

Words Of SOberness and Truth.

With as little use as any one, and
no respect whatever, for the carpet
Dagger from the North, we, however,
heartily endorse the following invita-
ton to good Northern people to make
their homes in the South, taken from
the Courier-Journal:
The South will gladly welcome the
newcomer who will fetch here some
thing more than a carpet bag full of
schemes of plumber. The Yankee who
comes to us with hand ready for the
plow-share or the loan and the heart of
a man beating inside of him will End
no bar across his patch. He has only
to go to honest work to make his way
and if he be quick and kind ard cour-
teous he will find a people wondrous
impressive and appreciate.
But he must bring mind free of the
proscriptive and the proselv ting bias.
He must not set up as feformer. He
must expect to learn more than he
teaches, and he must not expect to get
an Office as s0ons as he arrives. Nav,
more, he must keep a civil tongue in
his head and fall into that vein of con-
Citation which is demanded of the
stranger and is always practiced by the
stranger who is wise, in an old COM
munity which has set notions and ways
of its own. He must remember that
we are free men like himself, abound
ing in human nature. We. repeat
nothing, are ashamed of nothing, and
do not admit that we are any worse
than other people. we are not ready
to listen with complacency to the cant
Of the Radical press or to give in to the
partisan idea that we are traitors who
owe our necks to the clemency of
master caste. We hold that this is
free government and that we are or
ought to be as free as any in it. He
must therefore avoid the sort of gable
which delights the politicians of GER
tain school and identify himself with
the present and future of the people
with whom he proposes to cast his lot.
! These conditions being filled-and
they are conditions which would be ex-
acted the world over-the Yankee who
comes South may talk never SO long
and broad and absolutely live on cod
fish and potatoes, and he will find, if
he is an honest and straightforward
man, that somehow he gets on and
prospers, that people like him and pat
ronize him, and as for the term "Car-
pet-bagger," he will not hear it at all,

WHITE USED FOR -MoURNING.-It
was the rule at the Court of the Byzan-
tine Empire from the foundation OF
Constantinople by Constantine the
Great, when the father, mother, wife,
son, or grandson of the emperor died,
while they were reigning, for the SOW
ereign to be clothed in white garments
for as long period as he considered
proper, afterwards to change them for
plain yellow; then for yellow embroid-
cred with gold precious stones, edged
with trimmings of purple; and then to
resume his usual imperial costume.
During tho period OF the emperor's
white mourning every one of his sub
jects, from the highest to the lowest,
had to wear black; and during the
yellow mourning the near relatives of
the dead had to be attired in black
tor forty days, even in the presence
of the emperor, afterwards in blue,
until he went ont of mourning, when
theirs also expired.

THE SWEDISH ARMY IN PEAcE.-In
Sweden, in time of peace, it Is Gus
tomary to let out soldiers for civil
labor. SO that in the cities, especially
the seaports, the guardbouse is an
Office for letting out men for civil work
of all kinds. If it is desired to unload
a ship rapidly, the owner or captain
sends to the guard honse for the num-
Der of men he requires, who are sent,
and receive extra pay for their work.
A merchant who has extra copying to
be done sends to the guard house for
men to do it. So when large dirners
or festivals take place, soldiers who
are recommended as walters are en-
gagged to assist as attendants. Caval-
~ men are engaged "a extra drivers,
and to take care of horses. In this
way three-fourths of the force are, in
one way or another, engaged in mis-
cellaneous services to their own salts

the State and private employers.

What Women Eat.

It is popular belief that women eat
nothing. 1t is of course conceded that
they sustain life by the consumption of
nonrishment; but eating, in the whole
acceptance of the word, is supposed to
be foreign to female nature. This
fallacy as founded and sustained by
women themselves, who, during the
affected period of their lives, cultivate
small appetites as being of sem-angellc
construction. When this pernicious
nonsense is concientiously carried out,
the result upon the wonld be angles are
squalor, red noses, certain loss of vigor,
general limpidness, and some other I'M
pleasant consequences. But. as rule,
the smallest appetites at the fashiona-
BILE tables are exhibited by those
shrewd girls, whose natural and heal
thy wants have been thoroughly ap-
peased by secret stuffing. Need we
refer our readers to the historical poem
concerning Miolante in tho pantry,

them how she gnawed it, how she

Republican Opinion.

We have heretofore quoted the opir
ions of well-known Republican author.
of the first-class, upon the infamous
Ku-Klux bill. Indeed that kind of ties
timony is all we desire to publish re.
garding this most obnoxious measure.
Here is an extract from q leading Re-
publican paper of Massachusetts, the
Boston Advertiser:
The South must be reconstructed. if
at all, by its natural leaders-the men
OF brains, character and influence, most
of whom, of course were in the late
war. This is sound policy. This opiA-
ion is held by hundreds of unprejudic-
ed people-old army officers and citi-
zens-wfio lived and owned plantations
in the Sonth, or have travelled there.
The present state of things is very
bad. We have been trying to create
an unnatural state of affairs, and the
result is failure, so long as the only
Intelligent men are DISTINGUISHED, and
the ignorant and vicious are permitted
to control matters. All accounts agree
that the hostility is not felt towards
the National Government but toward
certain obnoxious black and white peo-
pie. Now, it is certainly too much to
expect very active public sentiment
against the Ku-Klux, if nothing better
is promised than the grotesque traves-
ties of governments which We have
seen in manyof these States. Let us
try new remedy, and give brains and
character, and decency a chance. First
OF all let us stop this wretched Con-
gressional fooling with great commu-
mites as if they were babies or IDIOTS
by attempting to subject whole States
to the control OF ignorant blacks, and
whites who are both ignorant and vi
cious, we invite the very outrages of
which we complain. The country is
sick of the whole thing.

the destruction of the Republic and the
establishment of monarchy. The Princes
adhere to the party of the Right.
