TUE CONDITION OF TIE South
1t is needless here to trace the political
history of reconstruction, or TO appor-
ton the blame for its mistakes. 1t is
enough to say that in point of fact the
State governments of the South have
very largely fallen into the hands of
ignorant and knavish men. Public
money has been wasted and stolen by
Wholesale. A proud and high.spiritcd
population have seen their places of
trust and honor filed by foreign ad-
vonturcrs and uncducatcd freedmen.
The old political leaders in whom the
people had confidence and who alone
had experience in the conduct of af-
fairs, have been excluded from Office
by Congress. The course of politics
has tended to deepen the antagonism
between the former masters and the
blacks, and to still furtherallcnatc the
former from the national authority.
This is a gloomy picture. One feature
remains TO be added. Intothis weaken
ed aud distracted community there has
been no infusion of new, healthy blood.
Ii was hoped that immigration would
renovato the South. But there has
been no immigration, or but little,
The old clements are left to work out
their way unassistcd OF the present
duty of the nation at large toward the
South we shall here say but word.
The best service that can be render
ed to the Southern people politicallyis
TO let them alone, Disabilities should
be swept away alta blow. There should
he no more federal interference with
local affairs. Political salvation for
the South can only come through her
own pcoplc.-H Henry Ward Bcechcr Ia

COME IN BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.
by aEo. d. PRENTICE.


Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come to me on,
When the white wings of sleep
ON my bosom lie son
Oh come when the sea
In the morn's gentle light
Beats soft ON the air,
Like the pulse of the nicht--
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loftiest blue,
When the dcw's on the flower,
And the star Is on the dew.
Come i'm beautiful dreams. love,
oh leone and we'll stray
Where the whole year Is crowned
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is as sweet
Asthe voice of a dove,
And the gale Is MS soft
AS the breathing of love;
Where the beams kiss the waves
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come aud Wen fly
Like two winged spirits
Df love through tho sky;
Where the starlight and tlfc mounligh
Ara lending their glow;
On the bright clouds We'll linger,
Of purple and gold,
TIL the angels shall envy
Tho bliss they behold.

logic of the case runs about this way,

As patriots, to us men in this fight

As patriots We, Democrats and all, con

Cincinnati Convention has platform

WHAT a strange picture a uni
versity presents to the Imagination.
The lives of scholars in their clois-
tered stiffness; literary men ofre
tired habits, and professors who
study sixteen hours day, and never
see the world but on Sunday.
Nature has, no doubt, for some wise
purpose, placed in their hearts this
love Of literary labor and seclusion.
Otherwise who would feed the indy
ing lamp OF thought? But for such
men as these, blast Of wind through
the chinks and crannies of this old
world, or the tapping Of a conquer
or's banner. would blow it out for
ever. The light of the soul is east

Rouse not the mufflei drum.

To swell the requiem Ger his ashes poured,
Silently bear him TO the house of death;
The aching heart by whom he was sdored,

SAVING MoNEY.-There is, perhaps
no one in this world more to be pitied than
the poor ..an-the man who has got in
the habit OF saving until be saves from
sheer delight in seeing his wealth increase,
and of counting every dollar of expendi-
ture as though its loss was something that
can't be repaired. Yet it is the duty OF
every poor man to save something. The
possession OF few dollars often makes all
the difference between happiness and mis-
cry, and the man, especially with family
dependent upon him, can not be truly inde
pendent unless be has few dollars reserv-
ed for time of need. While extreme care
lessness as to the expenditure Of money
will make rich man poor, wise economy
will almost certainly make poor man rich.
or at least make him to considerable
extend independent of the caprices of en-
ployers and of the common vicissitudes of
life. Nothing il more important to the
poor man than the habit of saving some.
thing, and his little hoard will soon begin
to grow at rate which will surprise and
crafty him. Every workingman ought to
have an account in some savings bank aud
should add to it every week during which
which he has full employment, even if the
addition is but dollar at time. If he
does this he will soon find the dollars
growing into tens. and these tens into
hundreds, and in little tine will be in pos
session Of a sum which is constantly yield
ing an addition to his income, which Sc
cures him reserve fund whenever one is
needed, and which will enable him to do
many thing, which without little money,
he would be powerless to do.
