The Origin of Scandal.

Said Mrs. A.
TO Mrs. j.,
In quite a confidential way,
'It seems to me,
That Mrs. B.
Takes too much something in her tea.
And Mrs. j.
TO Mrs. X.
That night was overheard to say
She grieved to touch
Upon it much,
"But Mrs. b. took such and such !"
Then Mrs. X.
Went straight away
And told a friend that self same day,
81 was sad to think
Here came wink
"That Mrs. b. was fond of drink"
The friends disgust,
Was such she must
Inform the lady (which she musscd,"
That "Mrs. B.
At half past three,
Was that far gone she couldn't see"
This lady we
Have mentioned, she
Gave needle work to Mrs. B.,
And at such news
Could scarcely chose
But further needle work refuse.
Then Mrs. B.,
And you'll agree
Quite properly she said, said she,
That she would track
The scandal back
To those who made her look so black.
Through Mrs. X.
And Mrs. J.
She got at last to Mrs. A.
And asked her why,
With cruel lie,
She painted her so deep die?
Said Mrs. A.
In sore disnlay,
II no such thing could ever sayI
/ said that you
Had stoutcr grew
On too much sugar-which you do !"

The Samaritan tells "What Alcohol
Will Do" thus: at may Seem
strange, but it is nevertheless true,
that alcohol, regularly applied to
thrifty farmers stomach, will remove
the boards from the fences, let cattle
into his crops, kill his fruit trees,
mortgage his farm, and SOW his fields
with wild oats and thistles. 1t will
take the paint off his buildings, break
the glass out of the windows. and fill
them with rags. 1t will take che
gloss from his clothes, and polish from
his manners, subdue his reason, arouSsS
his passions, bring sorrow and dis.
grace upon his family, and topic
him into drunkard's grave. 1t will
do this to the artisan and the capital

POLITICAL osTRACIsM.

There is nothing more unjust or
narrow minded than to ostracise a
man for his opinions. All are enti-
tied to form and hold opinions with
out its being treated as an offence by
those whose views are Of an opposite
character. It is not to be expected
that we should all think alike; and
yet, as the poet says,
"Men may, I find, be honest though
they differ"
Before the late war, we did not all
hold the same political creed, and it
is not likely that after the war we
would. While there are somo who
are willing to accept the situation
and make the best of it, believing the
policy to be dictated by prudence;
there are others who wish to keep up
ill-feeling, who rebel against changed
state of affairs, and refuse to submit
quietly to circumstances. Let each
enjoy his own way Of thinking, and
let him act in accordance. with his
views, but let neither party ostracise
the other. This is simply justice; the
contrary is minded intoler-
ancc, and unworthy people of libe-
al spirit and manly intelligence.
AS an illustration of this spirit of
ostracism, and how unjust, ungener-
Gus, ana ungrateful it makes men,
take example of General Longstreet.
A writer from New Orleans to the
New York Herald says:
At the close of the war he was IDOL
lied in this city. No one approached
him in popular esteem. His military
record was grander than Stonewall
Jackson's, it We'd with Lees, it ri
vailed Shcrman's and Grants. He
lived as in fairy land of fancy and
delight. Within twenty-four hours
the dream faded away. From being
the idol of the populace he was the
completest object of their detestation.
He had written a political letter, the
sentiments of which Now Orleans
and Louisiana disapproved, and con-
seqently he had become traitor and
q knave. Ninety-scvcn out of every
hundred of his acquaintances refused
to speak TO him. lie was driven from
society in single day. For seven
long years this ostracism has contin-
ued, LoDgstreet has endured it with
that heroism that accepts fate calmly.
The only sign he has shown of the
acuteness of his wounds is in dispo-
sition to avoid everybody"
This man certainly deserves better
of his countrymen than this. His
eminent and valuable services to the
South ought surely not to be blotted
from our minds, and scorn, contumel ly,
and coldncss given to brave, q noble,
a selfsacrifcing soldier, because when
the war was over, and he laid down
his arms, he changed his political
creed. During the war for Southern
independence he finched not; he was
true as steel to the cause he espoused;
no man among his companions called
him traitor then. Is his past proud
record nothing in the eyes of his
countrymen? What wretched intol-
erance and narrow-minded illiberality
that would thus ostracise one of the
bravest and most able Of the South
ern gencrals.-Darlington Southerner.
