RUssI AN WIVEs.

\ story has been going the rounds of
the French papers illustrating the status
of married women in Russia. The simple
woman in this case seems to have
imagined that she might get from Rus
sian magistrate some sort of protection
against a husband whose favorite pastime
was cruelty to torture her. She had
been yokee by her playful husband to
the shafts of his cart, and driven along
for sixteen versts, in double harness with
the horse, under the furious blows of
heavy whip. Having survived this
ordeal, she was brought home again, her
head was shaved, and after she had been
smeared all over with tar she was rolled
in feathers, and then tnrned out of the
house. In this plight she resorted to
the person whom she fondly imagined to
be most benevolent, or at any rate the
/ least savage, in the village. She went
/ to the priest, but, instead of obtaining any
/ shelter or relief, was rudely struck by
/ the piOus man, who called the husband
aud advised him to administer fresh
castigation. 1t would have been well
for the woman if she had taken the
broad hint offered her by this reception
at the priests residence, and had re-
turned home to suffer in silence the tor
ment to which she was fated. But she
was ignorant OF the Russian law, and she
could not persuade herself that she was
utterly without remedy in such a csse as
this. So she went to law, and brought
before the court both the husband and
the priest. Here the procurateur general
at once declined to enter into any argu
ment on the subject of the husband, ex-
planning that the whole matter was one
of merely private family interest, anC
that husband and wife could always
come to an understa 1ding among them
selves without the interference of the
law. The priests case was little more
difficult. But the worthy man repre-
sented that facts of this sort occur otter
and inevitably among the lower orders ,
in Russia, whereupOn the court, without
further discussion, acquitted both the ac
cused persons.

Self Respect.

One Of the strongest and most preva-
lent incentives to virtuous conduct is
the desire of the worlds esteem. We
act rather that our actions may be ap.
plauded by others, than to have the ap.
probation of our own conscience. We
refrain from doing wrong. not go much
from principle as from the fear Of iu-
curing the censure Of the world. A
regard ought, indeed, 70 be paid to pub.
lie opinion but there is q regard We
owe to ourselves which is Of far greater
Importance regard which should keep
US from committing wrong action
when withdrawn from the observation
Of tie world, as much as when exposed
to its broad glare. IF we are as good
as others-and it is our own fault if we
are not--why atand in more fear Of
Others than of ourselves2 What is there
in othor men that makes US desire their
appreciation, snd fear their censure more
than our own? In other respects, We
are apt to oyerratc ourselves; bot sure<
ly, when we pay such blind and servilo
respect to others, we forget our own Dig
nifty, and uudervalue ourselves in our
own esteem.

A Beautiful Passage.

The following is from the reveriss Of
a bachelor, by Ike Marvel; "a poor
man without some soft Of religion i, al
best but poor rcprobatc, the football
Of destiny, with no tic linking him to
infnity and the wondrous eternity that
is oven worse--a fame without heat,
a rainbow withouta color, = flower with

tie hishopc and his honor to this shifting
ground tackle, to his business or the

A man may have some sort ofmoral re-

STONEWALL JACKSON.
"A Rcminiscence OF the Wilder.
ueEs.
Grom the Dstrelt Free Press.)

All ! but these calls for regimental
reunions mcsn something more than
decorated halls, grand dinners, and toa'ts
and responses. Memory sits down with
the boys in blue and the boys in gray,
and makes their hearts thrill m they
remsmber tho terrible charge ofthe Con-
'felerales to possess themselves Of the
key position at Gettysburg. She asks
the veterans to remember how the
brave Seventh Michigan pushed across
the wideriver flowing pas, Fredericksburg
and locked into the fierce eyes Of Barks'
dalc's Mis,issippians. She calls upon the
sabre fight at Trevilian station, the
tramp Of Stoncwall Jackson's men on
the plaius Of Manassas, anl the mad &,
eager rush srouud Petersburg.
Well may memory sit al every vete'
rams right hand, for under ono soil,
lullcd to eternal rest by the same brcez-
es, are the blue and tho gray-falling
on their skirmish line, in tho charge,
single and by scorcs-and no man dare
say that they were not brave and true.
That was an awful day when the Con-
Tolerate lion, Stonewall Jackson, crept
upon poor Hooker hidden in the Wal
dcrncss.
LER on ONE sfDE-JAcksox OF TuE oTnEu,
and the woods around Charlottesville
shook and troubled, and were almost
swept from tho face Of tic oarih By the
whirring round-shot, and hissiug shell,
aud the screaming graps"shot. Men
were struck stonc.dcad as the battlc.line
advanced or rctreatcd. Whitc-tacsd
recruits and brouze~laced veterans were
torn to fragments and hurled against
the living.
Wounded men fell in their tracks to
be crushed in the earth by great limbs
cut from the trees by shot and shell.
The roar of guns, the crackle of fmusket-
ry. the fierce shouts and awful groans,
made such hell upon earth Of that
battlefield rs was never seen before or
after.
Fighting Joe Hooker was in a bdx'
but not man in his great army dream
ed that it was SO until tie long gray
line of Stoncwall Jackson came creeping
through the quiet forest, at ) clock on
that ever-to.b be remembered 2nd day OF
| Nav, 1868. The light earth works had
been thrown up to face another way

Black and White.

Jefferson noted seventeen points of
difference between the black and the
white man. They differ in color, in
hair, and in the shape Of their bodies.
The black man has less beard than the
white man. He perspires more pro,
fusely. There is slight difference in
the arrangement of their lungs, by which
the black has more cxhalins force than
the white. Tho black man requires
less sleep. His love IS mors s:5ent, but
less imaginative than that Of the white
man, His grief is more transient, He
reflects less. His reasoning powers are
decidedly inferior. His memory is
equal to the white mans, but not his
Imagination, which is dull in the ex-
treme. The black has less originality.
lie has no turn for the arts Of painting
aud sculpture. He has as good an ear
for music rs the white man, but no skill
in composing. And. lastly, the black
has no poetical tendencies.

The meadows brown anu sefe.
tbs,I Autumn wiuis bsve swsp. the beS.rs,
And filed the woods with gloom;
And cruel frosts have stupg the flowers,
And bl;ghted all their bloom.
Gay groups that mnde the gardens glad,
Defaced and lcafess stand,
Like stricken mourncrs, lone and sad
A desolate band.
Poor blighted buds, sud wi,hered things,
The Summer sure no more
Shall bring your bloom, or thousand
Springs
Your scattered seeds restore.
All, me- how many human life
Is like the gardens now.
The blight Of sorrow, sin, or strife
On lip, and heart, and brow.
How oft unkindnegs' withering breath,
Ger feelings tender flowers,
Has swept, md left the chill sf death
Through all lifc's after hours.
Poor human hearu growths crusAed and
killed
By blishtening years of wrong!
Poor frozen souls, untimely chilled
By suffering deep and long!
No earthly Spring with balmy breath,
And skies with sunshine fair,
Shall wake you from your living death,
Or cure the ills yo bear.
But praised be God, beyond the years
Dull wintry years Of pain
A glorious Summer cline appears,
Where ye shall bloom again!

Who can beat This.

Mr.. J. II. McFadden, an energetic
planter residing few miles south Of
Rock Hill. has brought us a sample Of
very fuo sorghum, Of which he has
made SO gallons, all the product of one
quarter of an aero Of land. An article
Of rnolasscs Of about the same grade
could not be bought for less than so
cents per gallon, hence its value t. the
producer is equal to S2G.50. The same
land in cotton, supposing it to yield at
the rate Of one bale per acre, would
make, at current prices for this article,
about $1,000. Again We say, diversity
your crops.

The work progressed rapidly, and DR..
East watched with loving sladness the
chang. in George. Maggie wrote for
him, and read the extracts ne dictated,
entering with her whole heart into the
work.
A year passed away frot the day the
work was commenced before it was rea-
dy for the press, and they were rev
wurded at last by package containing
the handsomely bound vo.umc.
Maggie was in the library alone when
DIR. East entered with the book.

Leap year, Maggie continued,

DR.. East stole softly away, blessing
them in his heart audibly when the
wedding day came. For they were
married, and the honeymoon has not
