UNDER SPELL.-The following
school boys composition has fallen into
our hands, and we print it for the amuse-
ment of our young readers. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY written under spell
WOMAN, the fairest and most perfect
of Gods creation, was the means through
the serpent of plunging man the noblest
work of God and his decendants into an
inextricable gulf of ruin. But although
she by means of her temptation ruined
man, yet what would be our helpless and
lonely condition if it were not for wo-
mans CHEEKY smiles and comforting
presence. Our world would then truly
be "a world Of weeping and of woe"
Women are gifted by the Almighty to
relieve mans loneliness and are as bles-
sed help-meets to him in time of trouble
and afIliction. She is ministering an
gel sent by God to minister to the wants
of tile guilty sons of fallen race.
Some say that women are not calculated
to fill places of honor and trust, but we
see this nowhere verified in the past his
tory of the world. Women have ruled
the mightiest empires with better ability
than ever shown by man, and if her men
tai abilities are not so great, if her
strength of resolution and power of will
are not so great as mans, then why does
she acquit herself so honorably where
ever tried? We answer because she
never if ever receives the education man
does and for this reason superior to him.
What would man be without woman is a
question too hard for me, but if treated
right and used we'll she is truly, "Heav-
ems last best gift to man."

Stonewall Jackson's Deatl.Bcd.

About daylight one Sunday morning
Mrs. Jackson informed him that his re-
covery was very doubtful, and that it
was better that he should be prepared
for the worst. He was silent for mo-
ment, and then said:
at will be infinite gain to be trans
lated to heaven"
He advised his wife, in the event of
his death, to return to her fathers house,
and added "You have kind and good
father, but there is no one so kind and
good as your Heavenly Father"
He still expressed hope of his recov-
cry, but requested her, if he should die,
to have him buried in Lexington, in the
Valley of Virginia. His exhaustion in
creased so rapidly that at II O'Clock
Mrs. Jackson knelt by his bed, and told
him that before the sun went down he
would be with the Savior.
He replied: 20 no; you are fright
ened, my child; death is not so near;
/ may get well"
She fell over the bed, weeping bitterly,
and told him that the physician said
there was no hope. After moments
pause, he asked her 10 call me.
doctor, Anna init rms ME that you
have told her l am to die to-day. Is it
so"
When he was answered, he turned his
eyes toward the ceiling, and gazed for a
moment or two, as ii iu intense thought
then replied, "Very good, very good ::
it is all right"
lie then tried to comfort his almost
heart broken wife, and told her that he
had good deal to say to her, but he was
too weak. Colonel Pendleton came into
the room about l o'clock, and he asked
him, "who was preaching at the head
quarters to-day?" When told that the
whole army was praying for him, he re-
piled:
Thank Godl they are very kind"
He said: "It is the Lords day; my
wish is fulfilled. have always desired
to die on Sunday"
His mind now began to fail and wall
der, and he frequently talked as if in
command on the field, giving orders in
his old way; then the scene shifted, and
he was at the mess table, in conversation
with members of his staff; now with his
wife and child; now at prayers with his
military family. Occasional intervals
of return of his mind would appear, and
during one of them / offered him some
brandy and water, but he declined it,
saying, at will only delay my depar-
turc, and do no good; l want to preserve
my mind to the last, if possible" :"
About half-past he was told that he
had but two hours to live, and answered
again, leebly but firmly, every good; ii
is all right"
A few moments before he died he
cried out in his delirium: Order A. P
Hill to prepare for action! Pass the in.
fantry to the front rapidly" "Tell
Major Haws"-then stopped, leaving the
sentence unfinished.
Presently smile of inefable sweet
ness spread over his pale face, and then
he said, quietly, and with an expression
of relief, Let us cross over the river
and rest under the shade of the trees"
And then, without pain or struggle
his spirit passed away.-Richmond Dis

that began ten years ago, is reaping its

that began ten years ago, is reaping its
fruit, and it is not by additional penal
laws that you Gun better the condition oi
this country. What does the Senator
want more penal laws for7 Let him
look into the statute books on this very
subie let him read the statutes in re-
gard to the enforcement of the right OF
citizens to vote, and 1 defy him to find
in the statutes of any civilized country
on this globe 4 body Of laws so minute,
SO searching and bristling all over with
penalties, as do these laws"
Mr.. Thurman thought the danger to
this country was whether the longest
purse should carry the elections, and
this danger exists more in the North than
in the South.
Mr.. Lamar also addressed the Senate,
saying he would have something to say
upon the question of the adoption of the
resolutions when they are ready for nc
tion. AT present, he wished to remark
upon a single point submitted by Mr..
Blaine. He regretted that statesman
so distinguished, in looking upon this
recently dislocated member of this great
American empire, instead of regarding it
anxiously for those great interests that
affect this great country through the
long track of coming years, should have
concentrated his whole gaze upon its
simple attitude of party relationship /;
that nothing should have struck the gen.
tleman except that particular partisan
feature which affects the ascendancy Of
this political party or the other-organ-
izati0ns that are unknown to the con-
stitution and outside of the laws of this
land "But, sir, the gentleman's re-
marks were directed exclusively to those
parties, and with no intent whatever 10
utter q bitter retort, / cannot but feel the
regret that one of such resolute purpose,
of such tenacious and such daring am
bition, and such great abilities, should
have so narrowed his mind as to give to
party what was meant for mankind" !"
Denying positively Blaine's assertions
that the South has disproportionate
power in this government, the Senator
said that before the vote was over, he
would show that no negro vote has been
suppressed in the South. ~ will de-
monssrate that this political phenome-
non, which is the subject of so much
discussion and Misrepresentation, is a
phenomenon that would occur in any
free society, and that it has been brought
about by the agencies of intelligence,
virtue and society, and the other agen-
cies civilization always brings upon the
classes that are ignorant and debased.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Lamar's brief
remarks, Senator Edmonds made few
remarks, and there was some colloquy
between himself ID the Senator from
Mississippi as to the Interpretation of a
portion of the latter's remarks, after
which the resolution and the amend
ment was laid aside, and the Senate re-
