try as accomplished facts, and wo
propose to obey the laws as good citi-
zens. You have no right to ask of
us more than this, and we have tho
right to demand of you, who woro tho
conquerors, that you should not re-
qulro of us, rs tho prico of reunion and
reconciliation, sacrafice of our honor

tho other. Whom this is done, VIC can
agree TO Disagree on tho questions that

thoso to yourselves and to your pos~
terlty, and time, with its softoning in.
fluonco, as it covers the graves Of our
dead with flowers, will cface tho
STAINS OF blood, which now mark
their resting places. L speak frankly
to you, men of tho North, for between
men who have been enemies all poace
must be hollow where perfect sinceri,
ty does not prevail. When we under.
stand each other fully, we shall have
advanced far on the road that leads to-
harmony, and until harmony is re-
stored, you viii look in vain for tho
return of prosperity and tho blessing
Of God.
Just as WAS about coming to this

ter close my remarks than by quoting
the prayer with which hor vcrscs end:
ooh! for the clcar-eycd, whitcrobcl truth,
In virtues sweet communion,

To crown this gray-haired Union!
All! VIC arc one in this grand prayer,

"what viii Hrs. Grunday sayr

This is question which rules the
actions of most people to q very great
extent. We are all frequently 80
Impressed that we are glad to stop
and consider it, before coming to a
determination upon any eubiect,
even wbileI begin to write 1 am
hailed with the question as to what
'Sbe' will say concerning this article.
And the truth is | am not able to
give satisfactory answer, but shall
continue regardless of 'her' opinion.
It seems 20 be one of the weak
points in man kind to be always con-
snlting the opinions of Mrs. Grundy.
The child is thus impressed at O very
early age. It soon begins TO fear th at
che will object to its shoes, hat, coat
or something else; and as time paes,
es the child becomes more deeply
impressed with the idea that it is far
better to please 'her' in every par
ticular if possible, and tbus it keeps
Non wearying with this idea, until the
boy in his 'teens' enters school quite
puzzled as to the best manner in
which TO gain 'bcr' good will. And
when defamation day comes he is
more puzzled than evcr-he is SO
fearful that she will be displeased
that, but f)r it heing required by his
teacher, he would conclude in most
instances not TO make an effort at all.
But when he does try. either from
Compulsion or voluntarily, his mind
is often 50 absorbed with this thou oht
that he makes q failure and is then
mortified worse than ever, whereas
if he had undertaken his duty regard
less Of what she might say, he would
have been most likely to have sue
ceeded.
Again the young ladies are often
troubled concerning this same ques--
tion. is one among thcir highest
aimes, and in fact, it is the height of
the ambition of some Of them to
please Mrs. Grundy. An association,
q camp meeting or something of Tho
kind is coming. Miss e. desires TO
make very fno appearance on
these occasions, which, bv the way,
she does at any time. Bnt she dee
Hires to be particularly fascinating
and must therefore make some pur.
chases. TIE millinery establishment
must be visited al once, and uic man
tua-maker must have a speedy call,
besides many other things she is to
arrange with her own hands, but at
this uDcture the more considerate
mother pnts in her appearance and
