forty thousand Israelites from Rout
mania and other parts Of Europe are
making arrangements to settle in this
country, and thus escape the persecution

Of one million five hundred thousand
dollars, and they want to purchase a
body of land here and settle together.
The Land Office has sent the necessary
information abroad, showing how our
lands may be obtained.

VOLUME IL

We hope when liberty doth reign,
No man position can attain
whose soul from stain Is not as free
Asbe demands his wife's should be.
Thus would true reform begin
To rid the world OF many sin.
The good time coming we viii speed:
To sneers and taunts We'll not give heed
Tboueh some good sister. free from care,
Reclining In her easy chair,
Shorld cry, '-Ye Sufiagisis, aynuni.
I.no,g have all the rights I want"
Those who In luxury repOse,
Unmlndful OF anOther's woes,
May not appreciate our course,
And say we're making matters worse"
But was there ever yet reform
That did not meet rebuff and scorn:
'sThe good time coming that we see
Is when each child OF God IS free;
When gold and silver cannot buy
A passport TO positions high;
But when each dweller OF the earth
shall stand alone on moral worth.
We've pledged our honor and our life
'Gainst sin TO wage a ceaseIess strife.
But brothers see, our hands are tied;
We pray you 10 these bands divide.
The sacred boon Of liberty
Must come through your philanthropy.
But some good brothers seem 10 fear
That woman would mans foe appear;
That were she granted liberty
The graces OF her sex would flee;
That home and children she'd forsake,
And unknown terrors would awake;
That man would come down from his static
As ruler OF the mighty nation,
And be compelled, from year to year,
To MI his wife's deserted sphere;
And thus would nature be reversed
And man with numerous ills be cursed.
All, brothers, we've not learned in vain;
Mans loss can ne'er be woman's gain;
Your noble spirits we'd not fetter,
But fain would have you wiser, better;
For twas ordained by heavenly powers
Your veal or woe should e'er be ours.
SO give US liberty we pray,
And we will not the trust betray.
The foe surrounds US; grasp our hand,
And firmly, by your side, we'll stand,
And battle till our latest hour
Armed with the ballots mighty power.
But lest weary with my rhyme
III say the rest another time.
Reflect upon the plan we've laid,
And If you think il falsely made,
And see no justice in the case
Just put yourselves in woman's place.

DAUGHTER.-A Washington dispatch
has this among the House proceedings:
The Speaker, from the floor (Mr.
Dawes being temporarily in the chair,
said he had a few moments since had an
interview in the Speakers room which
had deeply touched him. 1t was the
widow of Robert c. Wood, late assistant
surgeon in the United States Army, and
daughter of Zachary Taylor, late
President of the United States. She
had presented petition, which he
would now have read, as it presented a
state of affairs that ought not to exist.
a daughter of Zachary Taylor was in
need of assistance. He had assured heI
that he did not believe there would be q
vote against the bill which he now pre-
sented. He then introduced bill
granting Mrs. Wood n pension OF S5C
per month, to date from the death OF
her husband, March 2S, 1859, and 1t was
| passed by a unanimous vote.

CLARENCE VERNON.

p. s. S.-Allow me to remark that
my wife must not be inquisitive about
my affairs. The most unfortunate men
| know are those whose wives are try
ing to find out every morning where
they spent the night before. 1 am too
high spirited to submit to that, or to
any interference with my innocent
amusements, such as smoking or chew
ing the sopolific, or taking social glass
occasionally. Among the most "un-
POPULAR women know are those who
are over-particular. None of that class
ever need hope for 4 reward OF merit'
in shape of c. Y.

P. S.-Ladies, beg your indulgence
while 1 suggest that you be careful not
to misunderstood my last remark, and
that my being easily snited does uot i'm
ply that can put up with everything.
My wife mnst be small, beautiful and
intelligent. In short, 1 can tell better
when hear from you. But no woman
over four feet tall need trouble herself
to answer. Respectfully,

Asnen I'LL

DEAR CITIZEN Since the Christmas
holidays our little village has been get
ting on in its usual quiet manne-. The
holidays were spent, as they usually
are, In eating turkeys, drinking eggnog
and having a good time generally. We
noticed but few who had taken too
much OF the ''raw material. One I saw
whose legs threatened disobedience, and
were continually carrying him from
side TO side, and seemed at times as If
they were disposed TO go IN opposite d.
reetions. That fellow said the next
morning that he sought an opportuni-
ty the night before OF raising a diff
Guilty with the bar-keepet. That, be-
lieying he had not got good measure,
had vomited up, expecting to measure
itsagain, but declined when he observed
that its general appearance had materi-
ally changed since drinking it.
remember to have mentioned once
in writing you that oar matrimonial
market was dull. Well, It was then,
but as several heavy transactions hsye
been recently effected in this line, we
infer that u better feeling is prevailing
in the market.
Stephen Butler and Miss Matte Ross
were the first TO be Joined together IN
''holy wedlock." This Is indeed an
amiable pair, and we trust that their
lives may be commensurate with their
good qualities, which are many.
The next in order are our esteemed
friends J. Cal. Lambeth and Miss Betty
Strong. OF this marriage you made
mention in your last issue, to which we
have but little to add. Our friend Cal.
has very CALAMITY won his fair prize
the embodiment of loneliness united
with many excellent qualities. We re-
greet that they could not remain with
us, but feel assured that they viii gain
many friends in the society to which
they have gone to live.
The last pair of which it is our pleas
ure to make mention is our clever
young neighbor, S. w. Petty, to Miss
Oracle Rudd, of Pulaski. We are glad
that Mr.. Petty has brought his fair
young bride to live among us. In this
pair are combined many excellent
qualities, and we congratulate friend
Petty in winning so fair prize. May
they live long and prosper.
MORE ANON.
P.S.-We intended sending this soon
er, but through neglect failed.

Mr.. EDITOR Times are very dull
in this portion of the county just now,
but We have plenty of rain, mud and
nix to mix with them, to wet them,
and sharp winds to sharpen them, IF we
could prepare the preparation and turn
the wind. No, sir, we are net allowed
the Incompatible pleasure of a deg
fight occasionally, and if it were not
for the people stirring around trying to
get cooks, | do not know what we
would do. We need just four hundred
in this immediate neighborhood; we
do not employ that many at one time,
but we want enough TO do us all the
year; it only takes two a month to do
US. Sometimes three. Is,noticed in
your last Issue that "Old Citizen" was
boasting thai his section was a fine
place for growing children. Please in
form him that that is not a circum-
stance, for there is an old chap in-this
neighbOrhOod who claims to have forty
nine, and when asked, will talk about
it with as much complacency and indif
ference as if 1t was nothing uncommon.

A Heroic Condmctor.

In noticing the death of former
Mobile favorite, r. c. Cox, who had
lately become conductor on an eastern
railroad, the Mobile Register relates the
following thrilling incident, which fifty
illustrates the true heroism of the man.
1t was only few days after this that
he lost his life in an attempt to couple
two cars:
San engine-running around a sharp
curve, at high speed-came suddenly
upon a child of twelve years, struggling
vainly.in its very path to eXtricate her
foot from the rail. The tiny shoe had
wedged fast against a tie, and the terri
fled child only fixed it tirmer by her
struggles. The engineer saw the dan
ger, whistled down brakes, and reversed
the engine. 1t was too late-the mo-
mentup of the train could not be over
come in the short span between that
baby and death. Dick Cox was on the
engine, speaking to her driver. In a
second he saw the peril and planned a
rescue. Swinging himself over the
side, with the speed undated, he
clambered round the ''iacket' of the
engine, reached the cow catcher, and
witha not second 10 lose-seized the
littie.girl andswrenched her up in into
his arms, as the train Numbered over
the little shoe still clinchod in the ties.

At public meeting in Nashville the
other evening, held at the instance of

was large and enthusiastic, the follow
ing petition was read and approved:
To the General Assembly of the State
of Tennessee:
The undersigned, citizens of the State
of Tennessee and -- county, most
respectfully petition the General As
sembly to pass law in substance en-
braeing the following propositions:
/. Recognizing the right of thesinno-
cent sufferers by the traffic in intoxica-
ting liquors TO be indemaifed against
injury to- person, and for the loss of
property.
,. That those who traffic by law with
intoxicated people ought to he held re-
sponsible in damages for all injuries to
the wife or child whose husband and
father inflicts the injury, under the in
nuence of liquor furnished in such traf-
fe, whether sold or given.
8. The right of action for such dam
ages ought to be given to married wo-
men and minors who suffer.
4. All persons who are injured by
tho acts and conducts of persons under
the influence OF Intoxicating liquors
ought to have a remedy against the par
tv who furnished the liquor.
8. Persons engaged In the traffic or
business of selling liquor ought to be
required to give bond to cover such
damages as may result from the traffic,
before obtaining the license; and then
a lien ought to be given on the proper
ty where the liquor Is sold for the dam
ages-the lien to commence with the
notice of the injury.
Rev. DR.. Baird said that they had al
ready distributed several hundred of
the petitions to different portions of the
State, returnable by February 10, TO see
what the people would do IN regard to
the matter. The Doctor continued,

tions as to the feasibility OF a law
making liquor dealers responsible for
damages occurring from the sale OF
whisky. His speech met with the hear
" applause Of the audience.
