Blessings on the Boys.

Blessings on the boys. Not the young,
healthy, rosy-cheeked, male savages of thir.
teen or sixteen years. They cannot help
being boys, and deserve no special credit OF
condemnation for it. But blessings on those
hale old boys of forty or forty-fve, or even
sixty, who bend their broad shoulders to the
burdens of life, but who do not let those
burdens crush their hearts; whose eyes are
quick to catch the light of merriment over a
droll story, and quicker to fill with tears of
sympathy for friends distress; who retain a
boyish love and reverence for all that is wo-
manly; whose boyish confidence in humanity
as whole, though often shocked, never
dies; who watch eagerly for the bright spots
OF sunshine on life's carpet, and seat them
selves where it falls the brightest and warm
est. They rarely grow very rich, for their
boyish generosity is too careless for that; they
may not command the awe of admiring
crowds; they are not always systematic enough
to be safely trusted with important office; but
the nimble feet of childhood springs to them;
manhood trustingly extends to them a wide
open hand, women greet the with conf
ing smile, and all through life they live and
receive great treasures of pure love. God
himself is very tender to these boys.

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has returned
to Atlanta from Mississippi, confident that the
Democrats are going to carry the latter State
at the next election. He said to a reporter of
the Atlanta Herald: mississippi has been
Republican since the war, but the people are
determined to wrest the State out of improper
hands at last. They have been apathetic for
the last three or four years, because they have
been cowed by the heavy negro maiorities
against them. As one of them said to me,
We are SO effectually squelched down here
that We haven't chirped.' They are chirping
now, though, all over the State. and they will
redeem Mississippi
4" believe it to be absolutely certain that
whenever the white people Of State make up
their minds to carry the elections they can
do 1t, no matter what the negro majority is.
And they can do it, too, without using any in
tlmidatlon or violence. The negro, when
reasoned with properly, and attracted by the
thousand Legitimate influences that the white
people can use can be controlled by his old
masters. never saw people more heartily
aroused than the Mississippians are. The
barbecue that we had at Oxford was the first
political meeting that has been held there
since the war, although it is Lucius Lamars
home. We were met everywhere by large and
enthusiastic crowds. The main fight of the
Democrats will be made on the Legislature
| have hardly doubt that they will have
working majority in the House and Senate.
This, 1t is generally believed, will secure
Lamar's election to the United States Senate.
In the Congressional race Lamar will, of
course, be reelected"

A VISION OF ELYsIUM.
BALL AT THE WHITE SULPHUR.

The balls they have at Southern watering
places can't be beaten, it all the accounts Of
the correspondents are to be trusted. At
White Sulphur Springs, for instance, the last
hop afforded the spectator ga gorgeous
glimpse of fairy land, vision of Elysium.
Imagine quarter section of Eden by gas
light. Fancy its gay-plumaged birds and
thousand hued buds and blossoms. Think of
its unfading lilies, violets and roses. Snuff
its perfume-laden breezes. Drink in
the music OF its golden harps and hap
py voices. View its brighter ETHEREAL
beings, with folded pinions, floating
round in feecy clouds of muslin, lace and
tarlatan. Then scatter through all the long
vista of these enchanting scenes endless fes-
toons Of spangled dapery, wreaths of ever
green's and flowers, streamers of gayest tints
and radiant lustre of hundred chandeliers.
Add the enhancing strains of a magnificent
orchestra and the rapt, witching tones of
voices that have only strayed for a season
from the seraphic choirs above, with running
ripples of silvery laughter. Throw in unnum-
bered waving plumes, futtering fans and
cleaning jewels, starry eyes, cherry lips,
lily white cheeks and pearly teeth,
magnificent costumes and expensive
,urls Sprinkle the whole dazzling,
,orruscating scene with diamond dust, shat
cred rainbows and frolicsome ligtning-bugs,
md flavor it with ten thousand mingled odors,
zach intoxicatingly delicious as a breath from
Heavens garden gate ajar, and you have some
amt conception of the beatiic pandemonium.
The music, the dancing, the whole was divine,
md the costumery was simply indescribable.
)azed, bewildered, dumbfounded by the
rand, whirling, labyrinthine panorama of
,lory and loneliness around him, the cores
'ondent says he shouldn't think he would
lardly know how or where to begin his per-
onal mention of the houri-surpassing cheru- |
i'm that pirouetted all about him."

CASTOR OIL.

She had had her mind made up for two Of
three days that the boy needed some caste,
oil, but she knew that she must approach
him gently. She placed the bottle where he
could see it, and when he turned up his nose
she said
cts just like honey, my darling"
He seemed to doubt her word, and she con-
tinued:
"If you'll take some I'll let you go to the
circus"
"How much ?" he cautiously inquired.
ooh, only spoonful, just one spoonful, u
she replied as she uncorked the bottle.

he asked.
"Of course villa big lump"
He waited until she began pouring from the
bottle, and then asked:
"And you'll give me ten cents, too?"
" Yes, of course"
''And you'll buy me shoo-fy kite ?" he
went on seeing his advantage.
Il guess SO"
"No kite-no ile," he said, as he drew back,
well, I'll buy you the kite" she replied,
filling the spoon clear up.

"Tll think of it"
"You can't think no castor oil down me !"
he exclaimed, looking around for his hat
Here-I will, or I'll tease father to, and

A lady writes to her brother in Boston of
the terrible state of affairs in the South.
Among other things not less blood -curdling,
she says: You in New England will scarcely
believe that in the miserable little town of
Rodney, my son Frank was told the other
day, while passing along whistling the Star
Spangled Banner that if he didn't stop
whistling that Yankee lie he would get his
mouth broken. The government is fully
aware of these dastardly outrages, and vet
the miserable little town of Rodney is not re-
duced to ashes !-Corier-J Journal

amateur talent in our city, Every feature of
the programme has been carefully selected,
and the tout ensemble presents such an array of
attractions as can not fail to crafty all who

The thrilling scene of the Wounded
Soldier" arranged by our talented friend
MIR. Fred N. Thayer, which, on its first pre-.
sentation in May last, held the immense audi
ence in breathless interest, will be repeated
for this occasion. The faultless manner in
which Mr.. Thayer "holds the mirror up to
nature" in this pathetic piece, and the adj
mirable support given by Messrs. Pickles
and Stern, Imake this picture never to be
forgotten by those who witness it.

The arrangements have been almost COM
pleted in England for the great Pan Anglican
Synod, similar to the one held in Lon ION
some years ago under the presidency of the
late Archbishop Loungey. The American
church will be fully represented in this ecu
menical council of Anglicanism, although two
great minds whose influence was felt in the
former assembly will be- felt in the present
only as the minds of all great men who have
departed from the earth are felt among their
successors, even after death. Whitehouse and
McIlyaine were two shining lights of the for
mer Pan-Anglican Synod; and it is safe to say
that their lustre will not be equaled by any Of
the American bishops who go to London next
year. The diocese Of Whitehouse is, owing
to certain strange exigencies, still vacant; and
the place of McIlvaine, although occupied, is
by no means filled.-Chicago Times.

A Curious London Rank.

Inc London correspondent OF the LIVERPOOL
Journal says: There has lately been q consider.
able commotion in one of the most curiously-
conducted business concerns in London, or
perhaps in the world. l mean the bank of
Childs q Co.. in Fleet street. This, as your
readers may have heard, is the establishment
which, suppose, for more than q hundred
years has used the upper part of Temple Bar
as a munlment-room, where many notable
autographs and account-books having histor-
ical associations were to be seen by the curl
GUS. The singular thing about the bank,
however, is its constitution.
Originally it was founded by the JERSEY
family, and the head of that house has, be-
lieve, always retained partnership, but the
other partners are taken from among the
clerks on sort of tontine principle, SO that
every clerk who enters the bank must, if he
lives long enough, become partner. AS this
is step from hundreds year to thousands,
one might suppose the effect would be some.
what remarkable. Human nature is, per-
haps, bad enough to warrant one in supposing
that the clerk mex. in succession might be
tempted to place the partners as much as pos
sible in cold draughts. or to beguile them
into unhealthy ways of life. At the very
least there must be q rather morbid interest
in the bodily state Of these old gentlemen,
and when one of them is absent on acc ount
Of ill.health, the throbbing of expectancy
must become almost unbearable.
Of late there have actually been, either by |
Heath or removal, four Observation-Disclosures
rom partnership, following each other very
closely. The glee of the Juniors under such |
must have been we'll nigh un-
'ontrollable. Any one who was privileged to |
ell the secrets of the bank might make very
,ood magazine article out of its various old
ashioned ways. 1t is only comparatively
ately that engraved checks were introduced. |
Until then it was always usual for ladies and
Gentlemen who had accounts at the bank to
Vrite their drafts on plain paper. There are
'robably few business accounts kept at such
n establishment, and 1 dare say old-tash-
oned and aristocratic connections of the
'ank like it all the better for its Old World
,eculiarities
