Ex-senator Lewis, of Virginia, "a
Union man and a Republican of the
straightest sect" volunteers the state
ment that there is no prescription in
the old Dominion on account of poll
tics. He says: "The person and prop
erty of Northern men whether Repub-
licans or Democrats) are rs safe in Fir-
ginia as they are in any State in the
Union, and their social relations would
be as pleasant as any where among
strangers"
Mr.. Kedfield, in one Of his letters to the
Cincinnati Commercial, speaks of CHS
olmand Gilmer, who were assassinated by
the mob in Kemper county Mississippi
Both men served with great honor in
the Confederate army, and their only
crime was that ;hey had become Re
publicans after the war. They were the
leading men of their section, and were
worth quite 100000 each.

THE ,STONEWALL BRIGADE.
AN INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE OF MANAs.
sAs-TnE HISTORIC souBRlQuET.

/
The General formed his brigade
along the crest OF the hill near the
Henry House, the men lying down be-
hind the brow Of it, in support of the
two pieces of artillery placed in posi-.
tion to play upon the advancing foe.
Gen. Bee, his brigade being crushed
and scattered, rode up to General Jack
son, and with the excitement and NOR
tifcation of an untricd but heroic sol.
dier, reported that the enemy were
beating him back.
"Very well, General, it can't he
helped" !" replied Jackson.
"But how do you expect TO stop
them ?"
"We'll give them the bayonct !" was
the answer, briefly.
General Bee wheeled his horse and
galioped back to his command. As he
did so, General Jackson said to Lieu.
tenant Lee, of his staff
"Tell the Colonel ofthis brigade that
the enemy are advancing that when
their heads are seen above the hill, let
the whole line rise, move forward with
a shout, and trust TO the bayonct. I
an tired of this long range ioork."
In the storm which followed Bees
return to his command, he was soon on
foot, his horse shot from under him.
With the fury of despair he strobe

MANS RELATIONSHIP. - The true
worth aud dignity of man, as revealed
in the light OF the Cross, consist not in
any accidental possessions, but in that
nature bestowed at birth upon all alike.
1t is this nature which mon overlook,
and fail to enter in that column which
represents kinship and obligation.
Hence they ignore the fratcrnal rela-
ton of man with man. If they help
the lowly, it is in patronizing sort Of
way, and not as a man helps his own
brother. They despisc the very ones
they benefit. They see no dignity,
no value, in people who cannot push
their way in the world, or better their
low estate. They do not respect those
whom they support, nor love those
whom they are helping to make love-
ly. These people undoubtedly do much
good, but in spite of the good such peo-
pie do, they do not do their full duty.
Their hearts are not lifted to the level
Of Christian requirement Patronage
is not brotherhood. The poor are not
to be treated and thought of as lower
class of creatures providentially placed
in our charge to control and educate.
They are to be regarded as common
sharers with us in one and the same
human nature; and this fact is to be
regarded by us as sufficient, not alone
TO save them from contempt, but 10
place them, as brothers and sisters,
among the foremost of earth.

CouRAoE.-A great deal of talent is
lost in the world for the want of lit
tie courage. Every day sends to the
grave a number of obscure men, who
have only remained in obscurity be-
cause their timidity has prevented
them from making a first effort, and
who if they could have been induced
to begin, would in all probability have
gone great lengths in fame. The fact
is, to do anything in the world worth
doing, We must not stand back shiver-
ing and thinking of the cold and the
danger, but just jump in and scramble
through as well as we can. II will
not do TO be perpetually calculating
risks and adjusting nice chances. 1t
Gid very well long before the flood,
where a man could support his friends
upon an intended publication for hun.
dred and fifty years, and then live TO
see its success aiterward. But at pres.
sent man waits and doubts, and hes.
itates, and consults his brother, and his
uncle, and his particular friends, until
one day he finds be is sixty years of
age then he has lost so much time in
consulting his first cousin and particu-
lar friends, that he has no time to fol-
low their advice.

PICNIC


The picnic IS essentially an Ameri-
can institution and we are proud Of 1t.
We are proud of its ample ham-sand-
wiches; its hard-boiled eggs; its crisp
pastry; its dainty preserves, and its
ginger-pop. A picnic party is pleas

decks Of bay steamer, upon the beach,

laughter. Having made the acquaint-
ance of such a party, one may count
on day Of uproarious pleasure. Small
matter that babies-Helens babies,
for all we know-squall in the fore
ground, and small boys, vexed with
the stings Of bees, cry Justify in the
background small matter, too, that
our sable attendant spills the coffee
down Araminta's shapely back, or
moistens our own y.starched bo-
som with bis unsteady hand the sun
still shines, the skies retain their wealth
of blue, the wind blows as freshly as
ever, birds sing, brooks babble, and we
mop up our temporary misfortunes
with devout thankfulness that they
are no worse. 1t is impossible to make
wry faces at nature. Let us take a
stroll across the fine green sward.
Here at the foot Of spreading oak is
a modern Dryad. Do not release her
hand at our approach. 1t is q pretty
hand, and he will be lucky dog, Tom,
upon whom she shall bestow il. Look,
yonder is an old friend But that
there is no wheel-barrow in sight we
should say that this stout, choleric
gentleman was no other that our amia-
bic acquaintance, the famous Mr.. Pick
wick, left blooming alone by thnt
rogue, Sam Weller. Sleep on, Mr.. p,
an extra regiment of the National
Guard and our new artillery company
shall guard you against the mob vio-
lence of the pound.master. Let US pass
on to the magic circle which seems to
forming in the clearing yonder. The
circle is drawn with rope, and if we
may Judge from the resounding smacks
Of the lads and the halfsuppressed tit
tering Of the girls, game is going on.
1t is Copenhagen. "Oh put me in that
little ringr The children say the
game isn't intended for grown people.
Very well, young gentlemen, but you
will alter your opinion q few years
hence, and wonder why the lass you
kissed so easily here to-day has grown
so dignified and distant. But we have
completed our little round, and now
the melody of a stirring camp-mceting
hymn goes up rapturously from the
picnic headquarters. 1t is getting well
on in the cool Of the day, and the la
dies are gathering their wraps together
to an early fight home
ward. Good-day, good people May
the picnic long be numbered among
our free institutions, and bring back,
year after year, new vigor to the wea-
ry and fresh spirits to the oppressed

Prof. David SWING does not believe
