Sweet women of the South thought of
you as had known you. In your homespun
dress or your plain, black robes; your eyes
shining with faith and hope; your steady
white hands binding ragged wounds, or poin-
ting the way to dying eyes; your suffering,
your courage in those stern, sombre days when
our beautiful country stood all bleeding, des-
solate and desparing. My eyes grew dim.

JUDGE MACKEY ON CoRRUPT1oN.-The
Yorkville Enquirer furnishes the following re-.
port of Judge Mackey's charge to the grand
jury at the recent term:
The April term of the Circuit Court, his
Honor T. J. Machey presiding, convened on
Tuesday last. The Judge dispensed with the for
mality of regular charge to the Grand Jury,
which he deemed unnecessary from the fact
that they had been previously charged respect
ing their duties, and, further, that having dis
charged their duties satisfactorily at previous
terms, it is supposed they know what their
duties are. He would, however, invite their
attention to the necessity of again examining
into the administration of the several officers
of the county; to ascertain the total amount
of taxes collected and if disbursements have
been properly made-though he did not deem
detailed statement necessary. In the opinion
of his Honor, York county is peculiarly fortu-
nate in having an honest body of public Off
GERS, who are faithful in the discharge of their
duties, which exception deserves the special
notice of the court at time when robbery and
plunder is the rule in every official department
cial corruption stalks throughout the country.
By lodging derelict officers in JAIL and properly
aided by the Grand Jury, his Honor hopes to
check the march of corruption in the judicial
district, and preserve in its purity the benign
system of government wisely designed for our
people, but which was brought into disrepute
by the corruption of those who administer its
affairs. Of the enormous taxes paid for the
support of public schools in the State, with
the exception of York county, all such schools
in the State would probably be closed by the
LIST of May, in face of the fact that $500, 900
had been collected for the purpose of keeping
them open. Nor is corruption confined to this
one feature alone. So notorious is the corrup-
ton throughout every department of the State
Government that it has attracted the attention
of the whole civilized world. This corruption
can only be checked by prompt action Of the
Courts and Grand Juries of the respective
counties, which, in the opinion of his Honor,
can WELD the necessary power; but should
they fail, SO far as the speaker was concerned,
he should feel it to be his duty to tell the peo-
pie to check it by the might of their own
arms.

A LAWYERS ADvICE.-An Irishman by the
name of Tom Murphy once borrowed a sum of
money from one Of his neighbors which he
promised to pay upon certain time. But
months passed by, and no signs of the agree
ment being kept, his creditor at. last warned
him that unless he paid it upon certain day,
he should sue him for it and recover by law.
This rather frightened Tom, and not being
able to raise money went to lawyer to get
advice on the matter After hearing Toms
story through to the end, he asked him:
elias your neighbor got any writing to show
that you owe him, this fifty dolars?"
"Divil a word" replied Tom, quickly.
"Well, then, if you haven't the money, you
can take your own time; at all events, he can
not collect it by law"
'Thank yer honor, much obliged" said
Tom, rising and going to the door.
'sHold on, my friend" said the lawyer.
''Fat for?' asked Tom, in astonishment.
"You owe me two dollars"
'Fat for7"
"Why, for my advice, to be sure You don't
suppose I can live by charging nothing, do
your"
Tom scratched his head moment in evil
dent perplexity, for he had no money. At last
bright idea seemed to strike him.
can have yees any paper that / owes yees
two dollars?" he asked with twinkle in his
eye.
"Why, no, of course not; but what does that
s'Thin I'll jist be after takin' yer own advice
an pay nather you nor my neighbor" saying
which he left the Office and its occupant to
mediate on lawyer taking his own advice and
doctor taking his own medicine.

Seeing Pat was "green," he said, "Ill tell
you what I'll do-rIl give you all my money
for that pistol"
agreed.
Pat received the money, and handed over
the pistol.
"Now," said the traveller "hand back the
money, or I'll blow your brains out"
"Blaze away, my hearty" said Pat, "niver a
dhrop O. powther theirs in it at.all."

- Gov. Booth, of California, in late speech,
said: 'The word of member of Grange
should be sterling in every transaction, and
pass current rs the coin of the realm. Not
only his field, but his life should be made
fruitful by his association. His presence at
home should be an atmosphere of peace, and
his influence among his neighbors as fragrant
as an orchard in bloom"
If you invest money in tools, and then
leave them exposed to the weather, it is the
same as loaning money to a spendthrift with
out security-a dead loss IN both cases.

Do Thy MINISTER No HARM.-There are
many rays in which a minister may receive
harm from his people. He may be injured by
their Aattery. 1 have known ministers to be-
come 80 puffed up, especially young men, that
they began to think they were popes or car
dinals, and rendered themselves ridiculous
When this is the case, the mans usefulness is
soon destroyed, for the time being, while in
the end it may turn to his future usefulness,
when God has humbled him.
But, on the other hand, he may be injured
by the want of proper appreciation of his min
isterial abilities, by speaking lightly of his
sermons and pastoral labors and this is the
side on which most of the errors are made in
this criticising age. Some heads of families
destroy all the effect of the sermon by their
wicked criticisms in the presence of their
children. Ibelieve this is one reason why
there is 80 little reverence for ministerial char
ter by the rising generation. I never knew a
family where this was practiced, but the chill
dren grew uDgodly and skeptical. What can we
expect where parents speak lightly of q min
ister's labors? Religion will always be respected
by the young in proportion to the respect they
have for those who propagateit. Thousands OF
children in this country have been ruined for
time and eternity by the unguarded tongues OF
parents. We charge you to speak we'll Of your
minister, both at home and abroad defend his
character whenever assailed by one in your
presence. If you cannot do this. be silent in
such way as to show no sympathy with those
who would detract from his usefulness avoid
winking and nodding.
Another way in which you may do him great
harm is to keep him SO poor that he cannot
buy books ana periodicals. To expect a mar
to keep up with the age, and be successful
preacher, without books, is like ordering the
Jews to make bricks without straw.

4 GOOD ITEM SPOILED.

The account OF daring robbery" pub
lished in the columns Of q morning contem-
porsry might have proven very interesting read
ing matter did It not lack one important fact
70 complete it-that Of truth. Mr.. James a.
Slime, by bis own acknowledgment, made since
the article appeared in print, was not knocked
down on Tenth street, between Massachusetts
avenue and K street, and was not robbed Of
any money in that section. Il Is doubtful If be
had any in his possession at the time. The
matter has been thoroughly sifted by Major
Richards, superintendent Of the police force,
who has forwarded card 70 the paper that
published the article, denying, on his own re-
sponsibility, that any truth exists in the state
meDt. This he thinks should be made in JUS
tiee 70 the respectable citizens Of that neghbor-
hood, and quiet any misapprehensions existing
on the subject. RumoT has it that Mr.. Slime
lost his money in different manner, and knows
perfectly we'll where be was when knocked
down. A reporter Of TIE REPuBLIcS possessed

VISITORS.
People visiting the yard are required to get
permit or pass at theofice OF the exccutive
officer, which viii sdmst them TO all the werk-
shops AID on board tho iron-elads anchored in

For Instance, when they are handed the pass
they viii ask If there Is any charge for issuing
it, q If one Of the employees could not oe sent
with them to pilst them through the yard.
AeSoeAoAA
say that the answer invariably Is no.
During the past six months over three thou
sand people have visited the yard for the pur-
pose OF seeing various objects Of interest. Few
leave without seeing the museum, where many
interesting trophies taken by the Havy are to
be seen: In .this building, among the other
curiosities, is a piece Of the stern-Post Of the
famous Kearsarge, Is which Is lodged q shell,

The copper rolling mill is another object Of
interest 70 visitors here. They an express =
wish 10 see the rollers In motion and watch the
operations Of the copper nail manufacturing
machines. The iron-clads are also very often
visited. They are reached by boat manned
by one Of the sailors from the receiving ships,
whose duty IT is to row people to and from the
vessels in me stream. Other objects, such as
the machine shops and ship houses attract
good deal Of attention.
