If you cannot speak well of your
neighbors, do not speak of them at all. A
cross neighbor may be made kind one by
kind treatment. The true way to be hap
py is to make others happy. To do good
IS luxury. If you are not wiser and
better at the end of the day, that day is
lost. Practice kindness, even if it be but
little each day. Learn something each
day, if it be but to spell one word.-
Learn to control your temper and your
words. Say nothing behind ones back
that you would not say to his face.

FROM ABROAD.


London, May l5.-thc following extracts
show the spirit of the London press to-day
on the treaty question. The Daily Ncacs
says: "All eyes in England are turned to
the American Senate. We have done our
duty. The best hope remaining is that the
decision has been confded to body al
ways holding the highest place tor gravity
and wisdom"
The Morning Post and the Daily 7ele-
graph are sanguine that patriotism will
overrule politics and the treaty will sur
vive.
The Standard remarks: "We have
made sacrifices enough. Let the Senate re-
ject the treaty amendment. 1t is not our
fault If the American constitution is defec-
tive, or the government weak nor is it
our loss if we are released from liability
incurred out of exaggerated Difference to-
wards kindred, high-spirited, but exact
ing people,"
The Times makes no allusion to the SUBJ
ject to-day. ri.
London, May 16.-The Globe, in its
issue to-day, has an article showing that
the claim of the American government for
damages incurred by the destruction of
vessels by the privateer "Shenadoah"
amounts to S6,500,000, while the prize
money claimed by the officers of that ves-
sci amounts to $1,l00, 900. The Globe
also publishes detailed log Of the "Shen-
andoah,' giving the name and value of
every prize captured by that vessel.

FREE DISCUSSION.
Listing the Dead.
RICHMOND, VA, May 10,

RICHMOND, VA, May 10, 1872.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
have observed at several of the voting
precincts in this city, a list of all persons
convicted of felony since the last election,
by that august body the Hastings court of
Richmond, which delights to boast of the
number of "niggers" it can send to the
pententiary in one day. | notice several
white men have shared the same fate but
there is another list posted at the same
places to which desire to call the atten-
ton of our Republican friends. There are
lists of all "colored men," who have died
in the cityIwithip..the past twelve months as
reported by the Board of Health.
One would at first suppose this was done
for general information, but its confinement
to "dead niggers," precludes the possibility
of such being the case. 1t is ostensibly
done in order that no unfairness may be
practiced on election by people represent
ing those who have departed this life.
There would have been some fairness
about it, if "dead white men" had been
named also. Why was it not done :?
The case is plain one, "dead white
men," will be allowed proxy on cleo
ton day, but sit is too good for dead
niggers.'
1 submit the whole thing is dirty, con-
temptible piece of unfairness, and if the
inaugurator had intended the fair thing he
would have published both lists or none.
Let the Republican superintendent of cleo
ton see that correct list of dead Demo-
Gratis is published, no matter if it does
shock the feelings of their friends bit,
and stick it up all over the city, in order
that every dead man may have fair play,
regardless of race, color or present condi-
ton of servitude. Yours,
"SCALAwAa."

Sweet Corn all the Year Round.

Nearly all the dried corn that one buys
has a favor, when boiled, resembling soda
or pearlash-certainly it has but little
sweetness and much toughness. Now,
there is way of preserving corn which
entirely avoids these results. and which is
warranted to give ''entire satisfaction. +"
Select, in their season, fresh, medium
sized ears of corn. strip off silk and husk,
then plunge the ears in boiling hot water,
leaving them in for only three minutes.
Next cut the kernels from the cob with q
sharp knife and spread them out on fat
dishes, taking care not to have the layer
more than two kernels thick. .af sd@ b
The dishes must then be placed either
in moderate oven Cleft open) or over the
kitchen range on board shelf which can
be arranged over it for the purpose (say
q or 8 feet above the top of the range)'
The contents of each dish must be distur'
bed occasionally. so as to insure their be-
coming thoroughly dried. 1t is we'll to

Editing. a Newspaper.

There is class of people who estimate the
ability of a newspaper and the talent of the
editor by the quantity of original matter the
publication contains. The Literary Journal
truthfully says: at is comparatively an easy
task for frothy writer to pour out daily
columns of words-words upon any and all
subjects. His ideas may flow 10 one weak,
washy, everlasting food, and the command
of his language may enable him to string
them together like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be meagre and poor con-
cern. Indeed, the mere writing part of edi-
ting paper is but a small portion of the
work. The care, the time employed in Sc
lecting, is far more important, and. the tact
of good editor is better shown in his selec-
tions than anything else, and that, we all
know, is half the battle. But, as we have
said, an editor ought to be estimated and ap-
preciated by the general conduct of his paper;
its tone its uniform consistent course, its aims.
its manliness, its dignity and propriety. To
preserve these as they should be preserved is
enough to occupy fully the time and atten-
ton of any man. If to these be added the
general supervision of the newspaper estab-
| lishment which most editors have to encoun-
ter, the wonder is how they can find time to
write at ALL"

American Wonders.

Silver Spring, Fla, is one of the great
est curiosties in the South. 1t bursts
forth in the midst of the most fertile coun-
ty in the State. 1t bubbles up in basin
near one hundred feet deep and about an
acre in extent, and sending from it a deep
stream sixty to one hundred feet wide, and
extending six to eight miles to Ocklawaha
river. In the spring itself fifty boats may
lie at anchor-quite feet. The spring
thus forns a natural inland port to which
three steamers now run regularly from ST.
Johns, making close connections with the
ocean steamers at Pilatka. The clearness
of the water is truly wonderful. It seems
even more transparent than air; you see
the bottom eighty feet below the bottom
of your boat, the exact form of the small
est pebble, the outline color of the leaf that
has sunk, and all the prismatic colors oi
the rainbow are reflected. Large fish
swim in it, every scale visible, and every
movement distinctly seen. Ifyou 60 over
the spring in boat you will see the fssure
in the rocks, from which the river pours
up like an inverted cataract:
Another wonder is that ''Stone Noun.
tain," of Georgia, which was rendered ia.
nous during the late war, has not been
more written about, talked about and trav.
eled about is unaccountab BILE, and indicates
want of admiration for the wonders oi
Southland Were it across the waters, il
would be in song. in sermon and in lee

they now go to the pyramids:
''These the work of man,
That the work of an Almighty hand"
Imagine a mountain of solid granite
towering two thousand feet, with scarcely
shrub on its defiant bald face. In its
solitude it is alone; no kindred nigh !
Not even the faint outline of a mountain
is discernible in the distance; and as we
turn our gaze upward to it's perpendicular
height, the classic Palisades seem tame,
and we can but wonder if it be a boulder
from some distant sphere, suddenly. by
some freak of nature, elected to our planet
or may it not have been that during the
great primeval ocean, which once over
spread the earth, matter attracted matter
until the mighty pile arose. and will stand
until the final consummation of all things
here?

BY MRS. p. C. DOLE.
We little dream when life is full of sweet,
And every moment touched with radiant
shine,
How soon may change our pathway, all COM
With bud and bloom; how soon beneath our
feet
Thorns shoot above the velvet, vernal vine.
One day Sy;:se CUR lOve-crOwned homes are full of
Where starry hopes their choicest treasures
bring;
Another day some darling form we miss,
And grief bedews the brow of happiness,
And sorrow sits where joy was wont to sing.
Gods glorious angel of eternal life,
Gathers the choicest buds of earth, to bloom
Beyond this changing land of care and strife,
Within the fold of Christ, palace rife
With fadeless glory, never touched with
gloom.
And we are left to mourn, overwhelmed with
fears,
And heaviness of heart, that none may know
Who have not wept with unavailing tears,
And half forgot loving Father hears
His PROSTATE children, crushed with bitter
Woe.
Our souls go out with bitterness and pain,
Crying as one lost in wilderness;
And our sad cries come back to us again
: Unanswered Ger TIE strange, bewildering plain
Our burdened, blinded spirits choose to press.
Oh, bleeding hearts, that shrink beneath the
. rod
With binding pain, draw near His throne
and lay
Your every burden at the feet of God;
Accept the path the precious Saviour trod,
Believe, and wait, and pray.
And when the years sink to the purple past,
You will confess, though sorrows truth was
sore,
She was an angel that cloud o ercast-
A blessed guardian, crowning you at last,
With tender glory. lasting eYermore.
