An INCREAsnG PowER.-That the reform
doctrines of the Southern Republicans"
so.called, have caught somewhat Of popular
sympathy, is shown by the composition of
the Third Ward Branch, IN account of
whose organization We gave yesterday.
The club members are nearly all Germans
nearly hundred being present ct this first
meeting-snd the officers say the applica-
lions for initiation are numerous and mostly
all from the same substantial class of citi-
sens. If they are actuated by desire to
put into practical effect tho Same sound
principles enuncisted in the Southern Re-
publican platform, and have not been
seized with the ofice-holding mania, which
has been the prompting motive Of past
'sreform" movements, We Gee nothing but
what good citizens may be thankful for in
this fsct. So long - they are Republicans,
and object only to bad Republicans being
put in Office, they deserve and will receive
no opposition from No.

day there is not q single representative of
the intelligence of the parish.
As long as the vigilance committee acted
openly and in broad daylight, and with the
claim to be the protectors of society; but
the moment they shun the public view, and
perpetrate acts of violence under cover of
night, they become cowardly assassins aud
forfeit all respect. If midnight murders in
the name of the vigilance committee, are
to be sanctioned and approved by the COM
munity, there will soon be no safety to any
individual. 1t is easy to get up false re-
ports and create q prejudice against any
man, so as to afford pretext for hanging.
There are some Christian gentlemen in
this parish whose scruples will not permit
them to act with the vigilance committee,
yet who, by their silence or words. give
announcement to men who commit acts
which ought not to be countenanced by any
civilized community. Let us entertain the
hope that these gentlemen will be found
hereafter fearlessly rebuking the wrong
whenever the occasion demands it.
The time has come when the right think
ing men of the parish should speak out
1t is time that the reign of terror should
end. and peace and tranquility should be
restored.
Friendly advice and admonition to these
present so called vigilants seems onlv to
provoke them to fresh acts of lswleesness
and violence. Unless rebuked in some pub
lie and positive manner, peace and content
ment will forever be = stranger to our par
ish. Let it no longer be said that because
man can not ind0rse everything done in
the name of tho vigilance committee, he
must be . thief or rascal. Such denun-
Citations have not deferred the writer in the
tree expression Of his views. If should

"A WIrE's PowER.-A good wife is
to man wisdom, strength and cour
age: a bad one is confusion, weakness
and despair. No condition is hope
less to a man where the wife possesses
frmness, decision aud economy There
is no outward propriety which can
counteract Incidence, extravaganza
and folly at home. No spirit can long
endure bad influence. Man is strong
but his heart is not adamant. He
needs tranquil mind; and especially
if he is an intelligent man, with a
whole head, he needs its moral force
in the conflict of life. TO recover his
composure, home must be q place OF
peace and comfort. There his soul
renews its strength, aud goes forth
with renewed vigor to encounter the
labor and troubles of life. But if at
home he finds no rest, and there is met

Teaching Children Courage.

Courage is vital clement of chris
tian chivalry, Without it, indeed,
neither truth nor fidelity to promise
can be hoped for. The coward is
sure to lie when truth means punish
ment, and sure to retreat from his en-
gagement when they involve peril.
We need valiant souls that have learn
ed to endure and scorn pain, and to
face danger learlessly and promptly
when duty requires. Some parents
cvade this vital part Of training by
CLOSES and deception. \ mother
who has taken her boy to the dentists
to oct a tooth out. will often say, if
he is shrinking 'Sit still. my boy, it
won't hurt you" Now she knows it
will hurt him, but thinks if she can
only get him by this device to sit still
and let the dentist get hold of the
tooth, then his discovery OF the pain
will not hinder its extraction This
is q double mistake. 1t destroys her
boys confidence in her; for he detects
her i'll lie. And though it gets the
boy this time, to sit still, it is under
the delusion that there is to be 10
pain, whereas he should be taught to
face the pain and TO scorn it. This
makes the difference between the COW
ards and heroes. y regiment Of pol
troons could march up to a battery rs
cheerfuIly as regiment of heroes, if
they thought there was no enemy at
the guns, The difference is that he.
roes know the danger and yet face it

Rich without Money.

Many man is rich without money
Thousands Of men with nothing in
their pockets, and thousands without
even pocket, are rich. a man born
with a good sound constitution, good
stomach, II good heart, and good
limbs, and pretty good head-piece, is
rich. Good bones are better than
gold tough muscles than silver; and
nerves that flash and fire and carry
energy TO every function are better
than houses and land. 1t is better
than landed estate to have the light
kind of father and mother. Good
breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herds and
horses. Education may Go much to
check evil tendencies or TO develop
good ones but it is a great thing to
inherit ihe right proportion Of taco)
ties to start with The man is rich
who has a good disposition--who is
naturally kind, patient, cheerful hope
tul, and who has Il flavor Of wit and
fun in his composition.
