Keep Eousr Troubles sacred,

A worthy wife of forty years standing,
and whose life was not made up of sun
shine and peace, gave the following SEN
sible and impressive advice to a mar
riedA pair of her acquaintance. The ad-
vice is so good and so well suited to all
married people, as well as those who in
tend entering that state, that we here
publish it for the benefit of such persons ::
" Preserve sacredly the privacies of your
own house, your married state, and your
heart. Let no father or mother, sister
or brother, ever presume to come between
you two, or to share the joys and the
sorrows that belong to you two alone.
With Gods help build your own quiet
world, not allowing your dearest earthly
friend to be the confdant of aught that
concerns your domestic peace. Let mo-
ments of alienation, if they occur, be
healed at once. Never no never speak
of it outside but to each other confess.
and all will come out right. Never let
the morrow's sun still find you at variance.
Review and renew your vow it will do
you good, and thereby your souls will
grow together, cemented in that love
which is stronger than death, and you
will become truly one"

DEAR SIRs l have learned with pain and

with some sanction, in Jackson and els, =
where in this State, that there was found
upon the person of the late Joseph NJ. Sub
lett, of 1aZoO county, after his death by
paralysis, al the Raymond House, in Austin.
Texas, the recently stolen treasure of Yazoo
county, Miss. Capt. Sublett was my SON
in-law. He had his intirmities, and they
were notorious, but he was honest to the
full extent of non-apprO priation of the
property of others. / am fully advised of
his death and the circumstances of his
death. and of every dollar, draft, note, paper
and article of wardrobe in his possession at
his death. ! can therefore safely say, and
do say, in justice to the dead man, his sorely
afflicted widow and Only child. that said
report is wholly and basely false. a foul
and infamous SANDER, in whole cloth.

The White RAIDS Stumbling the
GOIOred Element.

The white RAIDS drew the color-line on
the darkeys in their late Convention, and
gave the latter to understand that they
are not to run the machine in the pending
canvass-though they are expected to
attend the meetings-folow the drums
stand in long rows breast to breast at the
polls-and do the rough work of the can
vass generally. In the assignment of
honors by the Convention, the roll stands
thus:

party, though when it has come to voting
heretofore the relative strength of the

as follows White l, colored 800 What
effect this assignment of back seats to
the colored element by the white RAIDS
will have on the former in future cleo
tons, remains to be seen. 1t is for the
colored people to determine whether they
will follow the insignificant crowd of
white otfice-seekers in the Radical party
and array themselves in enmity against
the great mass of white citizens who are
pledged to protect them in all their
rights, or whether they will live with the
latter upon terms of friendship and good
will. +" Let us have peace"

Chancellor of the Sth District.

MEssRs. EDITORS Allow me to suggest
that for Chancellor of the Sth District, no
gentleman could be found who would be
more acceptable to the Bar and people than
Col. T. b. GRAHAM, of Scott. He is grad
uate OF Chapel Hill. University, a lawyer by
profession, and has had much practice and
experienced gentleman of exemplary
habits, with mind peculiarly adapted to
the chancery practice. and withal a high
toned and courteous gentleman and favor
lite ofthe people wherever known.
L hope and trust he will agree to accept
the position. and | know it is the desire of
majority (at least) of the Bar that he do so.

Heaven is place of complete victory
and glorious triumph. This is the bat
tle-field there is the triumphal process
sion. This is the land of the sword and
the spear that is the land of the wreath
and the crown. This is the land of the
garment rolled in blood and of the dust
of the fight. That is the land of the
trumpet's joyous sound; that is the place
of the white robe and the shout of con-
quest.-Spurgeon.
Then do we go to meet Christ with
boughs of olives, when we exercise the
works of mercy and of charity and
with the branch of palm, when we bear
away the victory against any temptation !;
and we strew our garments under the
feet of Christ when we lay down our
lives for the love of Christ and in the
defense of His holy faith.-Bonaventura.

The November election was the Bull
Run of the Radicals. If the Democracy
had paused there, it would have been a
fatal blunder. TO impeach Ames snd
his associate culprits, and drive them from
office with the terrors of the law, was fol
lowing up the victory, and planting the
banner of Reform upon the dome of the

HE COiOred Troops 10 be left Out
by the Military Committee.

Sections 1, 104 and los of the Re-

listed men of certain regiments of the
Regular Army shall be colored, will be
struck out by the Military Committee.
There are now two regiments of infantry
and two of cavalry, colored troops. The
repeal of the statutes will leave them no
longer distinctively colored regiments.

The Record of Radical DOings
and Sayings.

To make the record complete we have
not omitted from our columns the plat
form of the Radical convention and their
rolls of Presidential electors, dele
gates and State Executive Committee.
Their platform is rare production.
To hear a party prating about hon
esty and economy, which has brought
disgrace upon the country and Involved
the Federal government and the State
administrations which it has controlled !;
into almost irretrievable bankruptcy, is
like listening to the devil quoting scrip
ture. From the administration of
Grant, which represents the Radical
party atlarge, down to the administra-
ton of the smallest municipality which
that base organization has governed, 1t Is
fetid mass of corruption. They know
it. The people Of the country know It,
The world knows it, and yet they talk OF
honesty and economy.
Nevertheless the bitterest reproach
which these sanity RAIDS have leveled at
the Democracy is that while they have
driven from office the knaves and pecu-
lators whom their party elected, they
did not visit upon them the ext me
punishment prescribed by the con
stitution. Do not these wreckers re-
member that if they had not elected the
| Ameses, Davises and Cardozos to office,
there would have been no such officials
to drive out with the terrors of the law
And why do they forget, while feignlns
Indignation that CardozO's crimes were
"condoned" by the Democracy; that they
themselves put upon him thick coating
of whitewash in the Legislature of 1873
IF the Democratic Legislature deserve
censure for driving this cul prit out o
office and exposing his crimes naked tc
the world, and yet sparing him the forma
sentence of disqualification for office, how
can the Radical leaders be sufficiently
chastised for having pronounced him {
pure and upright officer, who had beer
accused of offenses which (they swore>
he had never committed.
1t would take more than forty horse
power to chant the hypocrisy of con
cIave of Radical spolsmen.

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

live for something, be not idle
Look about thee for employ;
Sir not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest JOY
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee hath many dstles--
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway!
Gentle words and cheering SMILES
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief-dispelling wiles.
A the pleasant sunshine falleth,
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. we'll the darkened-earth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary;
Drop the tear of sympathy.
Whisper words of hope and comfort,
Give, and thy reward shall be
Jov unto thy soul returning,
From this perfect fountain head.
Freely as thou freely givest,
Shall the grateful light be shed.
Do not cheat thy Heart and tell her,
e Grief i'll pass away
Hope for fairer times in future.
And forget to-day"
Tell her, if you will, that sorrow,
Need not come in vain;
Tell her that the lesson taught her
Far outweighs the pain.
Rather bid her go forth bravely,
And the stranger greet;
Not as foe, with spear and buckler,
But as dear trieds meet;
Bid her with strong clasp hold her
By her dusky wings
Listening for the murmured blessing
Sorrow always brings.
