THE MEETING OF EXTREMES,

The Texas admirers OF JEFF Davis are
quite agreed with Wendell Phillips on one
point-.he compensation for slaves lost
by the war. Mr.. Phillips fears it: the
Texas Democrats hope for it. When the
former sounds his note Of warning, hun
dreds Of thousands Of men take heed.
When Mr.. Davis passes through Texas,
immense crowds rush to greet him. and
when it is announced in bis name that
there is light ahead for those who lost
their slaves by war, scores of thousands
IN the South feel their hopes arise, and
thus an issue is joined and an old antag-
onism revived. 1t is no reply 10 this to
say that both Phillips and the Texas Con-
federates are dreamers; that no sane man
believes such an attempt will be made
Very sane men, less than fifty years ago,
secuted the idea Of civil war, and deemed
the future loss Of the slaves Of the South
as a simple impossibility. Yet they were
unable to put up the security to back their
opinions. and both events happened. The
part Of wisdom is, not to see how near
one can safely go to danger, but to shun
every approach to it. And as we have
the authority Of two parties, directly OPP
posed to each other. on the question at
issue. that it is sure to arise in q certain
contingency, We should take care that the
contingency shall never arise.
We have our local Democratic papers
on record for declaring that nobody in
the South is foolish enough to seriously
urge claim for indemnity. But they are
SO entirely irresponsible that no sort of
reliance can be placed upon their assur-.
ances. We prefer acceptable guarantees.
something which the Union people of the
country believe in. Such. for example,
as the election for another term at least
Of tried and true Republican. Presl-
dent Grant would suit US we'll enough. but
if he declines 70 run we are yet happy in
the assurance that our modern Sparta has |
many other worthy sons. We are not
good material to draw from when
The time comes. to make President who |
will at once allay Mr.. Phillips fears. and |
blast the Confederate hopes.

light would be forever -quenched
in the sweet eyes, and they would turn
yearningly back to the halls ofwisdom
where in girlhood's years they had
sported unfettered and free. The ex-
animation was quite success, and all
were we'll pleased. That night was the
one set apart for the reading OF the es-
says. At an early hour the Seminary
was thoroughly lighted. In the upper
gallery stood bevy of white robed
maidens. They had arrayed themselves
in white (emblem of purity to appear
before the throng tonight. Yes,
they were attired in spotless raiment,
for tonight they were to pluck the
last bud from girlhoOd's happy wreath,
and place upon their unsullied brows
woman's crushing crown. wonder
then that upon Willis Waters dark
lashes hung tears of grief, and on the
coral lip tremor of emotion. She was
the last to read, and as she arose and
moved forward there fell a momentary
hush over that vast assembly, supplant-
ed quickly by eager inquiries as to her
name. If she ever looked well, twas
at this hour, with the flush of excite
ment mantling her pale cheek, and
cleaning in the luminous eyes. She
was for once in her life radiant. The
raven hair was given to the wind, and
fell in dusky billows to her waist.
The slight subtle form was draped In
white which clung in regal folds around
the plant figure. Her theme was
"Memory's Mystic Wildwood" and
with marvellous eloquence she treated
her subject. Lingering upon the hal
cyon days that had dawned upon her
in this quiet refuge of learning, she
spoke of the house and grounds, ten
derly designating them as her home of
knowledge. Turning to the President,
she urged upon him her gratitude,
telling him that no work of hers, how
ever mighty, could ever liquidate the
debt she owed him as her father and
preceptOr.
She told him in thrilling words that
her heart went out to him with filial
reverence.
She turned to the band of teachers,
and with girlish simplicity thanked
them for past patience and guidance.
In conclusion she addressed the class.
With emotion she pictured to them the
essentials to perfect womanhood, how
their future paths through life should
be illumined with virtues fair and
faultless light. Then with briefadie
to all she retired to her seat.
