Woman EInOVVs One Point
Here Sham the Devil,'

NAeFS lAASAER HtAe DeVAas>
If you want to know howthe natural
bridge was built across the Mynach
river in Wales, this is the true story:
Once upon o time an old woman had
COW that fed on the Crom Torder
mountain, and came home night and
morning to be milbed. Ono evening
she did not come, and the old lady,
much tronbled, went to fetch her. When
she came to where the Mynach flows
between two high rocks, she saw the
COW on the other side. q, weg.
Then SHE set up loud lamentation,
for she saw the COW could not come to
her, and she could net 60 to the COW;
for the river could not be crossed, and
it was days journey to go round.
In this strait the devil appeared. so!
sol you've lost your COW, old lady, have
you? Never mind, pn build a bridge,
and you shall 90 fetch her.
Thankee kindly, Sir; I'll be much
obliged to you if you wlll, and she
curtsied low and with great humility.
ITO be sure will and he cast look
at her out Of the corner Of his eye. But
the COW is worth something--I must
have oll;keep that dog quiet, can t you?'
for the old woman had cur dog that
kept on growing and grumhling.
'Harkee, Old lady--if build You the
bridge, I'll have the FIRST that crosses it.
Is it q bargain?'
She was sorely troubled. If she went
over for the COW, she knew that she had
sold herself to the devil; and if the cow
came to her, she lost her COW.
Bridge or no bridge?' said the devil.
Build the bridge, sir, if you please
'Ay, ay,' said the devil, it's very
easy to say build the bridge, but do
you agree TO the tohP'
yes; sure, sir, replied the woman.
With that the devil put both his fore.
fingers to his mouth, and gave a slirill
whistle; and there was the bridge sure
enough, and the devil sitting on the
middle Of it, smiling away like clock
work, rocking himself to and fro, and
switching his tail with great satisfac-
tion.
The old women shook like an aspen
leaf, but she took crust Of bread from
her pocket, and showing it to the dog,
threw it over the bridge and passed the
devil where he sat in the middle.
Whip that dOg' said the devil; for he
was cut to the quick at being outwitted
by the old woman; but he did not want
the dog, and he did not try to stop him,
and the bridge YVES crossed and the
spell broken. He was mortified and
angry, but being a gentleman, he arose
and dotfcd his cap to the old lady-fO
the keen respect the keen- and having
done so he hung his tail, much hum
bled, and walked away,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

It is the most curious thing IN the
world that we cannot get Nashville or
Memphis papers at this place, with a
daily mail, until they are three or four
DAYS old, and sometimes We do not get
any for several days. The fault, as we
look at it, is on the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, and we respectfully call the
attention of the postmasters at Nash
Vile and Memphis to the fact. But we
cannot expect anything better so long
as the government viii employ as pos
tai clerks negros who are too lazy to
distribute the mails. But at some time
We propose to have the trouble rene
died, if possible.-Thoy Ne'cs.
We do not suppose the pOstmasters
at Memphis and Nashville can remedy
the evil complained of. The fault hes
either with the route agents or thelack
of route agents on the railroads in
West Tennessee. Provoking irregu-
Iarities in the transmission of the
mails over these roads are constantly
occurring, and the route agents, il
there be any, need looking after by a
special agent The people who are de.
pendent upon these routes are entitled
10, and should demand, more reliability
in the postal service.

BRIGHTER DAYS FOR THE SOUTH.

No true lover of his country can con.
template the condition of the Southern
whites without the keenest cOmmisera-
ton. A proud and powerful race,
which once swayed the destinies of the
Republic, still lies, nearly decade
after the close of the war, in certain
sections, in almost complete political
subsection to the rude and untutored
men who once titled their fields and
picked their cotton. In the overthrow
of the Rebel cause great fortunes were
swept away, and men who had counted
their negroes by hundreds became as
poor as the poorest OF them, and some
times were fam to acknowledge their
former slaves as their employers. The
whole edifce of slave power that
had grown to such a height,
fell in one crash, and the ruins
yet cumber the ground. And nine
years of peace seem, after all, to have
done little IN the work of recuper-
alton and growth. The political rule
Of the ignorant blacks is still almost
unbroken.
But there Is a SUMNER side of this
dark picture. In many respects the
future of the South was never 50 prom
Using as it is to-day. At the close Of
the war her people accepted the situa-
ton With frankness which required
no small effort, for it is the beaten man
who finds it hardest to forgive and for
get; the victor can afford to be mag
unanimous. But long before the ex-
Confederates ceased to feel the smart
of defeat, few Of their late antagon.
lists, led by Greeley and Chase, had
stretched out to them the right hand
of fellowship. What was then consid-
cred an act of political suicide has now
become one of the favorite postures Of
the politicians, and the number
of people has surprisingly dimin-
ished who would be willing to
admit, as the War Governor of
Pennsylvania did the other day, that
they would not have been sorry to see
a judicious use of the rope when the
conflict ended. So far has this feeling
melted away that the. Union veterans
hailed with delight at one of their re-
cent meetings a proposal that next
year inc ClDst pl Tue II5i utCttuC VI
peace should be celebrated by a reun-
ION OF the Blue and Gray Of a more
friendly character than those to which
they had been accustomed; and this
has been followed by stray propositions
that an effort should be made to gather
as many as possible of both armies at
the Centennial. ST. that the sun which
rises on our hundredth birthday bids
fair to behold wholly united people.
The remedy for her political evils
lies in the hands of the South herself,
for no one else can help her. The COM
mon school means death TO csrpet-bag
governments; and if the people will
but bide their time, the slow, steady
work of education and enlightenment
will render black and white equally hit
for the duties of citizenship, and divide
between them the hOnors and the re-
sponsibilities which theone now refuses
to share with the other. The twaddle
about a third term ought not to divert
them for "a moment from the serious
task they have in hand. Appeals to a
stolid President or a benighted Con-
gross must be equally fruitless. The
work is before you, brother OF the
