[ do truly admire the bravery
Of that portion of our people
who are in favor Of resistance
to the Kellogg government; but
their discretion is not so praise
worthy. Timidity is equally
with bravery, a principle of
human nature. Neither it nor
bravery should entirely gov
ern our conduct; but it should
cause US to pause and to con-
slider well the consequences
that might follow rashness.-.
Between the two principles of
bravery and timidity, judg-
ment should come in as a guide
to our actions. -.s
We have been a conquered
people for the last eight years,
and what degree of liberty we
have enjoyed has been entire
ly through the sufference of our
conquerors. Louisiana now is
but a province and Kellogg a
pro-consul, to rule thunder the
authority Of the General gov
eminent. To prove these facts,
I need but cite the reconstruc-
ton acts, the ku klux bill, the
enforcement act, and lastly the
orders of Judge Durell carried
out by the United States army.
We are but prisoners of war
confined within certain bounds
by a few weak sentinels. Shall
our rashness lead us to rise
against these sentinels, when
we know that we are in the
midst of the great army that
first took Us prisoners? If we
do so rise against the sentinels
is it not reasonable to suppose
that that great army viii sub,

quoted that ''those who would
be free, themselves must strike

then the question arises, How
, shall the blow be struck? Doe
striking a blow for freedom
necessarily imply the going Il
war for it, or the rising VI
against constituted authority
On the contrary, history prove
that liberty has been acquired
much oftener without war thai
by means of it. All soldier
are for the time being slaves
and the annals of the worlt
prove that they are too apt t

The French Maritime and Colonial
Review contains a very amusing series
of papers by lieutenant Of the French

CLEAN the following sketch of Asiatic
society: Gambling is carried on to a
fearful extent in the kingdom of Siam,
and the royal exchequer derives consid-
cradle profit from the licensed gaming
houses established in every part of the
country. One of the favorite games con.
sists in guessing the number of coins
showed at hap hazard under an inverted
cup the teetotum is also in vogue; and
lastly, there are lotteries which are
drawn daily. Ali this kind of business
is in the hands of cunning Chinese, par
ticularly expert in correcting the caprices
of chance.
When the gambler has lost his all
suicide never occurs to him as in Europe
but he will steal, or, as last resort, sell
himself for slave to some mandarin
willing to pay lis debts and clothe and
feed him in return for some insignificant
service. But, On the other band, man
who has once sold himself can never hope
TO regain his liberty, for he cannot earn
fsrthing in any way. If he disIikes
his master he may try to find another
disposed to pay the old one the amount
of his debt but that happens very sell
dom, since the purchaser is generally a
friend in good circumstances. Moreover
before man gives himself away in this
manner, he tries his luck to the last, so
long as he possesses a rag On his back
Our author relates the following charac-
teristic anecdote An Annamite OF
Saigon, whom we call A. happening to
meet an old friend of his, b, at Prom
Penb, is persuaded by him to visit a
gambling house. They go in and try
their luck.
A soon wins respectable sum, while
b loses all he has about him. To re.
frieve his fortune he borrows AS purse
but soon loses all its contents. WELL
says A. It's all over now, let Us be off y
Wait bit, replies the other, "I'Il try
another stake; the croupier knows me
and will give me credit" So he enters
upon palaver with that functionary
who at once writes a few words Oh a bi
Of paper, which B signs He then plays
but loses, and quits the place with hi;
friend What was your, agreement
with the croupier p asks A Z" You'll
know tomorrow replies b, dryiy. And
indeed, on the following morning two
stout Chinese call at AS house, bind hin
hand and foot, and carry him off in spite
Of his cries and efforts to regain his lib

Courtship After Marriage.

There was much more than mere wit
ticism in the remark of the old bachelor
who had paid attentions to maiden lady
for twenty years. visiting her regularly
every night, when rallied for not marry
ing "lf ! were married l should have
nobody to court, and no place to go at
night He had deeply felt the contrast
between his own delicate and ethereal en-
joymen's. and the hard, discontented,
fre.ted life of too many married people,
and his way was irony. lie saw there
was something in courtship which too
often exhal, s and expires after marriage,
leaving cold, dull, monotonous burden,
where all was beauty and buoyance be-
fore. Let us see what that something is
In courtship nothing is taken for granted.
Both parties are put on their good be-
havior Love keeps itself fresh and ac-
tive by constant expression in word and
act. But, strange to say, courtship usu-
ally ends with marriage. Very soon both
parties yield TO the sense of possession,
and the feeling Of security robs gallan-
try of motive, and extracts The poetry
from the mind The beautiful attentions
which were SO pleasing before marriage
are too often forgotten afterwards, the
gifts cease to come, or come only with the
asking; the music dies ont of the voice /;
everything is taken for granted, and the
love that, ike the silver jet of fountain
leaped to heaven, deemed its natural out
let, ceases to flow altogether. Then comes
dull heavy, hard days, with two unhap-
pinesses tied together, aud wishing them
selves apart, and not always content with
merely wishing This is unnatural and
wrong. What married life wants to give
it new tone and sweetness is mole of the
manner as well as the spirit of the court
ing time. Very much of the pleasures of
courtship comes from the constant atten-
ton of the parties to others. Their atfec
ton voices itself in all possible ways
Every sentence is edged with compliments
and spoken in tender tones. Every look
is confession. Every act is new word
in the exhaustless vocabulary of love-
Kiss and caresses are parenthetic clauses
and gestures it the dialect of love, and
gifts and sacrifices are the more emphatic
expressions of the spirit no language can
fully ar,iculate and no devotion declare
And it is a fact that affection confesses
itself continually in look and word aud
act, making the voice musical and the
fingers poetic in their touch and doing,
that makes experience go beautiful, the
only Eden many a woman has on earth.
Love must have expression or it will die.
1t can be kept forever beau iful and bless
ed as at the first, by giving it constant
differences in word and act The more it
is allowed to flow out in delicate atteut tions
and noble service, the stronger and more
satisfying and more blessed it will be
