A BEA UTIFUL SENTIMENT,

In Augustine Daily's great play
@Under the gaslight," Daura Court.
land uttered these beautiful senti,
ments:
Let the woman YOU look upon be
wise or vain, beautiful or holy, she
las but one thing she can give or
refuse, and tina, is her heart. Her
beauty, her wit, she may sell you
but her love is the treasure without
PRICE. She can only ask in return
that when you look upon her your
eyes shall speak mute devotion {;
when you address her your voice
shall be gentle and kind. That you
shall not despisc her because she
cannot all at once understand your
vigorous thoughts and ambitious
plans, for when misfortune and evil
have defeated your greatest purpose
her love remains to console You.
You look upon the tree of strength
and grandeur do not despise the
flowers because their fragrance is
all they have to give. Remember
love is the only thing that a woman
can give and it is the only thing
which God permits her to carry be-
yond the grave.

HOUSE WORK,

There is not a girl on earth, wheth-
or the daughter Of prince or paupcr,
who, if made a perfect mistress OF
all household duties, and were
thrown into a community wholly
unknown, would not rise from one
station to another, and eventually
lCcome the mistress of her own
mansion, while multiudes of young
women placed in positions of ease,
elegance and atllucncc, but being
untitled to fill them, will as certainly
descend from one round of the lad
der to another, until at the close of
life they are found where the really
competent started from. Mothers
Of America, if you wish TO rid your
own and your children's households
Of the destroying locusts which in
fest your houses and eat up your
substance, take pride in educating
YoGr daughters to be perfect mis-
tresses OF every home duty; then
il you leave them without a dollar,
be assured they will never lack a
warm garment, a bounteous meal,
or coy roof, nor fail of the re.
seect of any one who knows them.

a QUESTION ANSWERED.

"Can any one tell why, when Eve
was manufactured from one Of Ad-
ans ribs, a hired girl want made at
same time to wait on herp
"We can, easy. Because Adam
never came whining to Eve with a
ragged stocking to be darned, a col.
lar string to be sewed on, or glove
to be mended "right away quick
now " Because he never read the
newspaper until the sun got down
behind the palm trees, and then
stretching himself, yawned out
saint supper almost ready, my
dear" Not he! lie made the fire,
and hung over the tea kettle him
self, we'll venture and pulled the
radishes, peeled the bananas and
did every thing else that he'd ought
%. He MIXED the COW. fed the
chickens and looked after the pigs
himself. He never brought home
half a dozen friends to dinner, when
Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates,
and the mango season was over
He never stayed out until II o'clock
to ward meeting, hurrahing for an
out and out candidate, and then
scolded because poor, dear Eve
was sitting up and crying inside the
gates. He never played billiards,
nor drove fast horses, nor choked
Eve with cigar smoke. lie never
loafed around corner groceries,
while solitary Eve was rocking little
Gains cradle at home. In short. he
didn't think she was specially crea-
ted for the purpose Of waiting on
him, and wasn't under the impress
sion that it disgraced a man to light
en- his wile's cares a little.
That's the reason that Eve did not
need a hired girl, and we wish it was
the reason that none Of her fair de
sccndants did.

pOplexy-instant death"
Ala ba ma and I.Ouisia ma

These two States are now enjoying
all the chaos that Radical admins
tration brings. The difficulty in AL.
ALBANIA is, that the Democrats have a
majority of nine, in the Legi stature,
on joint ballot, which secures the
election of Democratic United
States Senator. The Radical minor
ity have seeded from the Legisla-
ture, and are holding forth in the
Court House. They have already
returned Senator SPENCER to the
United States Senate. The Demo-
cratic majority are doing business in
the capitol, and declare that they are
the only Legislature in the State, an q
threaten to impeach those State Off
Gals who are siding with the sece-
ders. There are eight contested
seats, and as the Legislature itself
determines the matter, the Radicals
say they know that they will decide
In favor Of the Democrats and hence
they feel justified In revolving. They
only suppose that the Democrats
would decide against them-they do
not know it. But this is the only
remedy that the law provides, and
the country would come to pretty
pass, if people should refuse to 20
into court because they were not GER
tain Of favorable verdict. The
Radicals are mauifcstly in the wrong.
In Louisisra, it is family fuss.
Two branches of the Republican par
ty are fighting each other. Governor
WARMoTH is heading one faction. and
PINcHBACk, q negro, the other. The
former leads the "FusiOnists," and
would be Senator if they had ma
jority and CASEY, brother-in.law of
the President, would be Senator, If
the Radicals had majority. The
Radical branch of the Legislature is
sitting in one place, and has adopted
articles of impeachment against
WARMoTH. The "Fusionists" are
holding forth in another place.
PINCHBAcK, by the aid of soldisry,
succeeded in getting possession Of
the Governors apartment, but WAR.
MOTH has sued out q writ of injunc.
ton, preventing him from exercising
the functions Of the office.
