A BEAUMFUL INcIDENT.-A poor
Arab travelling in the desert met
with a spring Of clear, sweet, spark
ling water. Used as he was only
to brackish wells, such water as
this appeared to his simple mind
worthy of a monarch, and filing
his leathern bottle from the spring,
he determined to 60 and present It
to the caliph himselfl
The poor man travelled a long
way before he reached the presence
Of his sovereign and laid his hum
bic offering at his feet. The caliph
did not despise the little gift,
brought 10 him with so much trou-
Bile. He ordered some of the wa
ter to be poured into cup, drank
it, and thanking the Arab with a
smile, ordered him to be presented
with q reward. The courtiers a
round pressed forward, eager TO
taste Of the wonderful water; but,
to the surprise Of all, the caliph
forbade them to touch a single drop.
After the poor Arab had Quilted
the royal presence with q light and
joyful heart, the caliph turned to
his eourtiers and thus explained his
conduct: "During the travels of
the Arab" said he, sthe water in
this leathern bottle became impure
and distasteful. But it was an Of
fering of love, and as such / have
received it with pleasure. But 1
well knew that had 1 suffered an
other to partake OF il, he would not
have concealed his disgust; and
therefore i forbade you to touch
the draught, lest the heart Of the
poor man should have been woun-
ded." /"

SHE WAS THE IDIoT.-A short time
since a gentleman with long fair whis-
kers, and dressed in the height of
fashion, entered hosier's in Vienna,
requested the shopwOman. who hap
pened to be alone, to show him some
colored shirts. Every variety of
shirts was brought out, when he
made his choice and requested that a
parcel be made up for him. This be-
ing done, ''What an idiot I am" he
said; 81 have not seen how the shirts
look when on. Would you oblige me
by putting one on over your dress?"
The shop woman having complied
with his request, ''Be so kind" he
continued, 'as to button the collar
and wristbands, that I may get thor
oughly good idea of the effect. And
now" he added, taking up his parcel.
''allow me to wish you a very good
morning?" and in an instant he was
outside of the door and had disap-
peared, the unhappy girl, apparently
stupefed, not daring to follow him in
tosthe street on account of her singu-
lar costume.

A THIRD TERAHR.-A few days ago
the Indianapolis Journal, the Repub-
lican organ of the capital of Indiana,
said that no leading Republican had
come out for Grant for third term.
Senator AleOrn, of Mississippi, ex-
pressed a preferce for Grant for a
third term several months ago, but he
may not be regarded as a leading Re-
publican, but simply a scalawag; but
now that Senator Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, has come out for Grant, the
Journal viii have to ''give it up"
The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial writes, July
18th:
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylva-
MIA, has declared himself, in a CONVEX
sation with a leading politician of
that State, in favor of Gen. Grant for
a third term. Cameron's great anxi-
ETY. seems to be to defeat Speaker
Blaine for the Presidency. He is a
gainst Blame because, as he asserts,
he is a Free Trader, although born
and raised in Pennsylvania. But this
is not the strongest objection OF the
Penn. Senator ito Blaine. Cam
eron never forgets an injury. He
says Blaine forfeited all claims to his
support when he appointed Mr..
Dawes, of Massachusetts,, Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means
Mr.. Dawes, it will be remembered,
was the gentleman who introduced
the resolution of censure upon Gen.
Cameron as Secretary of War, calling
upon President Lincon to remove him.
For the last ten years Cameron has
been laboriDg to have that resolution
expunged from the records of the
House of representatives, but in vain.
He asserts that ifhe lives he viii car

this account"

EVERY word that falls from the lips
of mothers and sisters especially should
be pure, and concise and simple-not
pearls such as fall from the lips of
princes, but goods that little children
can gather without fears of soil, or
after shame, or blame or any regrets
paid through all their life. Children
should be taught the use of good,
strong, expressive words-words that
mean exactly what they should express
in their proper places. 1t is painful
to listen to some girls talk. They be-
gin with ohsp' and ahsp' and ''sakes''
and ''alivelp and $50 sweet" and so
many silly phrases, that one is tempted
to believe their mothers were very
foolish women. There is nothing
more Disgusting than the twaddle of
il-bred girls.

THE COLoRED VoFE. Virginia
Conservatives have made a mistake in
raising a cry for ga white mans gov
ernment," and in making their can
vass upon the issue of white vs. black,
instead of drawing the line between
Conservatism and honesty on one
hand, and Radicahsm and corruption
on the other. They can easily show
the wisdom and excellence of COnser-
vative rule. When the old State has
been raked over and over again by
the harrow of war; when her bosom
had been thrashed and beaten by the
enginery of DETACHMENT and destruc-
ton, and when she WAS bleeding and
sore with wounds, she fortunately fell
in the soft arms of Conservatism.
This alone saved her from the fate of
South Carolina and LOuisana-States
which have never enjoyed a moment
of healthy repose since the war. The
comparison which might be drawn be-
tween the moral and physical condi-
ton of the old Commonwealth and
that of her raped and plundered SIS
ters OF the South would have been
sufficient to kick the beam in favor of
Conservatism even in doubtful con
test. The canvass should, therefore,
have been made chiefly upon that is
sue, and a generous line of policy
might have been pursued toward the
negroes, which would have won ma
ny of them to the Conservative cause.

The timid maiden's hair,

ABOUT A WHITE MANS GovEENAHlsr
Our Alabama exchanges are engaged
in a hot discussion Of the negro ques-
tion. The course pursued by the in
teligent journals which advocate a
white mans government has struck
the people of Alabama with awe and
surprise. There can be no doubt but
that the agitation of such a silly, and,
at the present time, irrelevant ques-
tion, will result in great harm to the
political government of that State.
The line should not be drawn be-
tween white and black, but between
Conservatism and honesty, and Radi-
calism and corruption. A common
aim should inspire AL, whether white
or black, to restore our land to peace,
and to inaugurate an honest admins
tration of political affairs.-Press

LINES ON A TRUE MOTHER
BY LOUISE BILLINGS sPALDNG.

In all the wide world there is none like un-
to her,
There's none half so tender, there's none
half SO wise;
would that the whole world might prize
aud know her,
Aud read what 1 see in her beautiful
eyes.
She's not overwise in her own estimation,
Her raiment not costly, nor queenly her
way;
But deep in her eyes burns a sweet revela-
tion,
That glOws on as true as the star of the
day.
Her form is not seen in the courts Of the
graces;
Her feet in low pathways cOntentedly
walk;
Her ife-work to lead little feet in suro
places,
To teach the young lips Of her nurslings
TO talk.
From out her pure eyes youths flash hath
departed,
And the roses have vanished like dew
From her face;
But the first blush Of girlhOOd could ne'er
have impaired.
Such wealth, such perfection of woman
ly grace.
There's peace IN her cottage, where virtue
prevalent,
A halo of glory adorneth her bed;
And poorly the bay or the laurel ayalleth
To crown with due honors so peerless n
head.
| would that the whole world might prize
her and know her,
So wise is her wisdom, so modestly given;
Who walks in the light her Creator hath
shown her,
To guide by her footprints her young
flock to heaven.

BREAKING Dishes A CAPITAL Or
FENsE.-We are glad to learn that
the emperor of China has issued a
decree declaring that if the chief
officer Of his household handles dish
es 50 carelessly as to break them,
he shall be killed. We say we are
glad of this, because we hope to
have the same regulation put into
effect in this country. If it is, a.
bout two thousand hired girls will
be executed every week, and we
may reasonably hope that the des-
truction of property viii be check
ed. We have stopped it in our
house by having a tea set made of
wrought-iron, and painted white.-
When a new hired girl comes, she
drops the coffee-p pot upon the floor.
Finding, with amazement, that it
does not break, she thumps it with
a fat iron and drops bricks on If,
and goes out and borro ws a sledge-
hammer, and whaoks it; and then
perceiving that it is as good as eV-
er, she sits down in front of that
coffee-pot and bursts into tears
Then she gives warning, loads up
with sugar and beef and butter for
her sick aunt, embezzles three or
four hemstitehed handkerchiefs and
any odd pilloW-eases that are lying
around, and starts for the nearest
intelligence Office. We wouldn't
take a million dollars for that tea
set.-Mdr Adeler.
