The South VIII Iise again.

Judge Embry, on Introducing
Miss Jennie Patterson, Of Natchez,
Miss, to Washington audience re
Gently, uttered the following noble,
manly words:
"Ladies and gentlemen Twenty
years ago, all the Southern States

many of the lovIIeSt and most ;ic-
compli>hed ladies of America. They
were indeed the queens of AmeIica

war. with the devaStafiouS that fol
low in its train, has, for more than
a decade, swept with relentless fury
over all the fair and fruitful fields
of the South. 1t has desolated
countless homes. crrbed many noble
ambitions, crushed many bright
hopes and anticipations, reduced to
poverty and want thousands reared
in afliuence and wealth, and has
hung the symbols of mourning
throughout all the borders OF that
sunny land. This will not last al
ways. Such land. with such a soil
and climate, and. above all, such Il
race OF people were not destined by
God and nature to utter ruin.
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.
Her stricken and wasted fields
will ripen again with their golden
harvests, and her gardens will send
the fragrance of their flowers over
all the land. She will rise from her
SorrOw and humiliation. from her
poverty and her ashes, because the
very ashes will enrich her.

The Sensation Of Starving.

For the first two days through which .
strong and healthy man is doomed to exist
i, on nothing. his sutferings are, perhaps.
more acute than in the remaining states
he feels an inordinate, unspeakable craving
at the stomach, night and day. The mind
runs upon beef, bread, and other substan-
tails, bat still, in great measure, the
body retains its strength. On the third
and fourth days, but especially On the
fourth, this incessant craving gives place
10 sinking and weakness of the stomach.
accompanied By nausea The unfortun-
ate sufferer still desires food, but with l. IS
Of strength he Losses that eager craving
which is felt in the earlier stages Should
he chance to obtain morsel two of
food he swallows it with a wolfsh avidity,
but five minutes afterwards his sufferings
are more intense than ever. He feels as
if he had swallowed a living lobster, which
is clawing and feeding upon the very
foundation of his existence. On the fifth
day his cheeks suddenly appear hollow
ard sunken, his body attenuated his color
is ashy pale, and his eye wild, CLASSY, can
nibalish. The different parts Of the system
now war with each other. The stomach
calls upon the legs to go with it in quest
of food; the legs. from very weakness, re-
fuse. The sixth day brings with it in
creased suffering, although the pangs Of
hunger are lost in an overpowering Tan
guor and sickness. The head becomes
giddy-the ghosts of well remembered din
ners pass in hideous professions through
the mind. The seventh day comes. bring
ing increased lasstude and further pros
tration of strength. The arms hang life
lessly, the legs drag heavily. The desire
for food is still left. to q degree, but 1t
must be brought, not sought. The miser-
sble remnant of life which still hangs to
the sufferer is burden almost too grevious
to be borne yet his inherent love of exist
ence induces desire still to preserve it.
if it can be saved without tax upon
bodily e1ertion. The mind wanders. At
one moment he thinks his weary limbs
cannot sustain him mile, the next he is
endowed with unnatural strength, and If
there be a certainty of relief before him,

A Lessonsfor Girls.

An exchange tells the folio wing
pleasing little story, which we com
mend to the careful perusal of all
young ladies who look forward to
matrimonial alliances. The hero is
one among a million, whose good
sense and clear judgment lead them
to select just such girls to make
smooth and pleasant the tlowery
paths of the nuptial parterre. n
thousand gay and giddy .Venuses,
bedecked. and hedizened with all
the glare and glitter of wealth, could
never excite one emotion of love in
the heart of a true malone who
looks beyond the mere tinsel of dress
aud show for the purer joys of we'd
ded bliss.
But to. the story.

was finally completed, when she,
also, joined her sisters i'll the parlOr
for the remainder of the evening.
The next morning the same
daughter was again i'll the kitchen,
while the other two were in the par

daughters, and watched an oppOr-

4 NOVEL MARRIAGES. Dur
suit of matrimony under difficulties
is thus sketched by the Bonham,
(Teras) Enterprise:
"On Sunday last a couple that
had eloped from one of the schools
III Paris came to a preacher on Red
river, in this county. duly equipped
with Il license. and desired him to
marry them. Seeing that the Young
lady could not be above thirteen
years of age, and the Young gentle
man not more then seventeen. the
minister objected to the knot connu

posed to cross over the river and
marry on the other side, after the
Indian fashion, but, as there was 10
boat to be had, this proposition was
about to come to naught, when
novel idea struck the party. y

down the bank and into the water,

Beauregard's Appeal.

The appeal" of Gen. Beaure-
gard to the people of Louisiana to
sustain the unit!cation movement,
is being severely criticised by the
press. 1t is Il very tame effort to
bolster up IA bad cause, and will, We
trust, die with the movement it is

Fixing the Responsibility.

The New York san. in an able
and truthful review of the acts %
the Republican party. fixes the re
sponsibility of the evils which affect
the country where it properly be
longs. Speaking of the mission OF
of this corrupt party, and its i'll
evitable doom, the San says:
ats fall even will not he redeem
ed by one sign of departing grand
eur, for among those who will struC-
gle to avert this certain political
doom there is not single champ
on worthy to be classed in the cate
CORY of statesmen, or Il leader suiii

sympathy.
The responsibility belongs to the
Republican patty for the enormous
land grants to railroad and other
great corporations by which the

ted, to the permanent injury of ac-
