ligious convictions of the family. Now
to the ladies.
"Old Mrs. Dulcet is good old mother
in the fullest sense Of the word. She is
performing her work quietly and unos-
tentatiously. In fact, you never see her
working around the house, you never
hear her giving orders, or complaining
about disorder. But everything is in
good order through her. Not one of the
young ladies or the gentlemen will do a
thing around the house or the yard
without asking mamma. And when you
see her, she is neatly dressed, quietly
sitting in her rocking chair with some
needle-work or with book in hand She
loves to see the young folks enjoy them
selves, and is never more pleased than
at seeing the old man take hand in some
play or cracking a joke, which he does
very often. IF an earnest debate is car
ried on in her presence, she listens with
a sort of childish veneration to every re-
mark her husband makes She is feeble
now; but it appears to me that she was
very lively and fond of pleasure in her
younger days, because she likes so much
to see her children enjoy themselves.

1t was at the instance OF Ben that
Aaron took Isaac Dudler with him to
place him in his business at Sharpens-
VILE The arrangement was that Dudler
should work for some time as salaried
clerk, and if he should prove efficient, he
should be accepted as junior partner
Dudler had few hundred dollars Of his
own, and his lodges and friends would
help him to the rest Of the capital re-
quired. Aaron said that he would give
him the best chances to succeed to a
partnership.
Benjamin was persuaded by the Dull
Get family to take up his abode at their
house after the departure of his brother
He purposed to remain in Hectoria until
the latter part Of August, and to prepare
himself for the examination at the Col
lege. Having taken possession Of his
rooms at the house of his hospitable
friends, he Immediately wrote out for
himself time table, and took good care
to have the ladies at the house see it, in
order that they should know what hours
of the day he was devoted to study, and
not make any demands upon his
company for that time. The old Mr.
Dulcet, as we'll as his sons, were highly
pleased with this bit of policy.
He is as sharp as a razor" remarked
Benedict; "a perfect Yankee through
and through. In order to avoid
being invited to company and de-
clining, he just let the ladies know that
on such and such hours in the day he is
not at home for them"
Il am only curious to see whether he
has frmness enough to carry out his
purpose" said the old man.
But Helen was of different opinion
than the gentlemen, and took occasion
to tell it to Ben in his face.
do you know, Mr.. Severe Critic"
she said to him few days later, ''that
you are quite provoking at times?"
Certainly I do," replied the Yaler;
Aaron told me so repeatedly, and I
must believe him as my senior brother"
And now" the lady continued, Il
emphatically endorse his opinion
MAY I ask the reason?"
Eyes, and [ will tell it to you, tco. I
have expected that you would ride out
with us to the the springs, or spend
some pleasant afternoons in the gardens.

ings in society. But to the one who has
an opportunity to see them in private
life, their intense religious devotion be-
comes apparent.
"Ihave told you before that the Dulcet
family are what we call Portuguese.
Their knowledge Of religious matters is
limited to the observance of some Jew
ish customs, which may have no sense if
examined in the light of critical re-
search, but which assume the greatest
Importance by the test Of psychological
penetration. I shall give you their
whole religious code in a nutshell.
There is an Author and Ruler of the
universe. The soul of mar is immortal,
and will retain an individual conscious
ness in eternity. Address the Eternal
as your Father Do what is right to your
fellow men, This is about all which
has universal bearing. AS to specific
Jewish religiosity, it is only of histori
cal significance with them. They will
recite Hebrew prayers which they do
not understand with a veneration and
love akin to that which man feels at
the sight of family relics.
And would you make fun of man, or
consider him irrational, if you were to
see him take care of an old watch which
has once belonged tohis ancestor? Are not
the highest prices paid by antiquarians
for trinkets which have once belonged
to great personages? And you must not
forget, old fellow, that beside the histor-
ical value of the ancient custours, there
is a profound meaning in them. IF old
Mr.. Dulcet, for instance, sits Friday
evening at the table, and pair of loaves
are before him, and he mutters the He
baew blessing over them, the meaning of
which neither he nor his children under
stand, the remembrances which are re-
called by this action are, perhaps, of
greater significance than the simple
meaning of the words he utters. The
action is link which unites him and his
family with the great past and opens to
him view into future which is even
more glorious. Other such insignificant
observances are kept up, but as [ have
told you, strictly in the private family
circle, like the relics Of great ancestors,
like the dried leaves of an old flower,
which remind man of sentiments long
past but never to be forgotten. And be-
cause these religious observances are so
simple and of such private nature they
are easily transmitted from one genera
tion to another, fondly cherished and en-
tirely unobtrusive. They cannot but be
respected by every man. There is poesy
in them so closely connected with all the
better sentiments of the heart, that one
must be either heartless or an outspoken
enemy toward all that is beautiful and
ennobling to deride them or to advocate
that they should be banished.
But it is not an essay on religion 1 in
tended to write. The few remarks [ have
made will suffice to illustrate the prin
cipal ruling sentiments-they call it re-

THE YALER DESCRIBES DULCET'S
HOUSE.
Dear Old Fellow" Benjamin ad-
dressed one of his bosom friends. I'm two
weeks from to-day hope to be with you
and to measure myself with our class at
the examination. You complain of my
writing short letters; l intend to make
this very long one. [ had to study
very hard since my brother had left this
city, and my principal reason for staying
here was to get time for THIS purpose.
In small town, like Hectoria, all the
outs and ms of which [ knew, and where
there was nothing new to detract me, I
could easily devote most of my time to
work; while at home and as guest with
my friends who would undoubtedly de-
sire to learn from me something about
the sunny South, I would have to lose
too much of my time. This much for an
explanation of my reasons for remaining
here. I think it is necessary, for you
have made some very naughty remarks
regarding your anxiety about my mo-
rality, and deem it my duty to disabuse
your c7aaste mind of all doubts and anx-
ieties. Not every one is Cicisbeo, like
yourself.
do not scold at my moralizing if I tell
you that, beside the time [ have gained
by my sojourn in this place, | have also
learnt some lessons Of life, which, feel,
will be of great advantage to me in the
future. The hospitable Dulcet family
has taught me these lessons. I had
never known what home was; I had
never known what religious home was
before [ have learned these lessons. I
shall tell you all about it now. In the Dull
Get house you hear very little about book
lore, and you see almost nothing of reli-
gion, as a casual observer The live
with their Christian neighbors on the
most cordial terms of friendship. They
eat, drink and amuse themselves togeth-
er; cultivate the same tastes and aspire
to the same usefulness in as far as their
respective public-spiritedness, is con-
cerned. IF it were not for the Christians,
who are always obtrusive with their reli-
gious ideas, there would not be any reli-
gious conversation carried on for months
and one could not know whether the
Dulcet family are Jews, OR Christians, or
Mahomedans, or heathens. So perfectly
liberal and free of all bias are their deal

strike his cheek with her fan.

Peculiarly Jolly Funerals.

Some persons seem determined to
make merry after they are dead, or ut
least afford their survivors the means
OF doing so. One old man left . be-
quest TO city parish on condition that
the church bells should ring q merry
peal once q year; but there was dark
side to this picture, for the peal was to
be rung on the anniversary of his wife's
death, whereas tolling was to mark
the anniversary of his wedding dav.
An advocate of Padua in the sixteenth
century directed that none of his rela-
tives should shed tears at his funeral:
singers and musicians should be en-
gagged to supply the place of mourners;
fifty of them were to walk with the
priest before the coffin, each receiving
half ducat as fee; twelve maidens
in green habits were to carry the cof-
tin to the church. singing cheerful songs
as they went; lastly, all the clergy OF
Padua, and all the monks except those
who wore black hoods, were to be in
vited to follow. Every man to receive
an honorarium. A Frenchman who
died half century ago had some time
before left instructions concerning the
mode in which his obsequies were to be
observed. All the musicians of the
town were to be invited to attend, and
play dancing and hunting tunes during
the procession; his house and church
were to DO decorated in the liveliest
way possible; and (but this must have
been very difficult point to settle) his
property was to 60 to The relative who

East Wafer street, and among the col

that has exhibited q spirit of heroic
bravery as great az did the Cincinnati
donkey in whipping lioness. A few
days since tame crow, while taking q
medltative walk, came in too close
proximity to q sly old fox that was
feigning sleep near his den. where he
is confined BY light chain. Before
the crow was aware Of danger the fox
had seized it. Then there was . loud
"csw. cav" and tapping Of wings
which attracted the attention of the
little bantam rooster. He took in the
situation at q glance, and rushed to the
rescue Of bis feashered compsuion,
The plucky little rooster dew into tho

4 Diatribe Against Is Nationalism. -

Nationalism sent old John Brown to
Virginia,
And commissioned him to incite in
surrection in her lave-quarters,
To murder the masters of her soil,
To burn her beautiful cities,
To blast her blossoming plantations,
To discrown and strike her down and
under the feet of savages and slaves, in
the full sunrise splendor of her history.
Nationalism precipitated the War be-
tween the Commonwealths,
By daring to hold Fort Sumter in de-
fiance OF the Constitution, and the
rights of free, supreme and sovereign
Republic;
Nationalism killed 100000 Southern
freemen;
Nationalism sacked and burned Co.
lumbia, Atlanta, and unnumbered homes
all over our beloved land;
Nationalism destroyed our Divine
system of labor, and thereby set back
the wheels of progress and prosperity
500 years;
Nationalism hung Mrs. Surratt;
Nationalism bastiIed or banished citi-
zens for daring to be Democrats;
Nationalism suppressed newspapers;
Nationalism mobbed public speakers;
Nationalism sent President Davis to q
dungeon for following in the footprints
of Washington;
Nationalism stuffed ballot-boxes and
bull-doZed Democrats in order to defeat
Vallandigham;
Nationalism disfranchised the virtue
and intelligence of the South, and put
despotic power in the hands of the
vicious and ignorant serfs and barbar.
ians of our section;
Nationalism opened the prison-doors
of Yankeedom, and sent her scapegal-
lows and scoundrels to rule and rob our
people;
Nationalism stole the Presidency from
Tilden by force, fraud and false swear
ing;
Nationalism has violated every clause,
sentence and syllable of the Constitu-
ton,
And now it is contemplating further
felonies.
1t proposes to subvcrt free govern
ment,
To place crown on the bulldog brow
of Grant,
To abolish State-lines,
To annihilate the ballot-box,
TO institute All aristocracy,
And to make the masses of America
as powerless and slavish as the subjects
of the Kaiser William.
Down with Nationalism!
1t is treason.
Down with the Nationalists!
They are traitors.
Rise, Patriots! rise, in your old invin-
chile power, and proclaim that the Gem
eral Government shall die the death be-
fore you will surrender one solitary
right or privilege outside the most rigid
construction of the Constitution.
Nullify the Amendments!
Nullify ali War-legisIation!
Trample upon every law that in
fringes upon your original liberties!
And thereby demonstrate to the world
that you are worthy your descent from
the old Sccessionists of 1776.-Okolona

Mr.. /. II. BRoMwELI, the Saratoga corre-
spondent of the New York Tribune durin q
the late Republican convention, is especially
emphatic in declaring that good feeling and
unity of purpose were the prominent
characteristics of that body. The Tribune
indorses Mr. BRoMwELL's declaration by
adding the statement that there was "a
complete absence of strife in the conven-
ton. 1t says;
The ticket will be elected, because II is a
good ticket ON good platform, because New
York on fair and full vote Is naturally Ro-
publican, because the sharp contest and the
subsequent harmony insure an active canvass,
aud because success this fall is duty we owe
not only to New York but to the Nation.
This plain indication of the satisfaction
of the ex-Liberal element in New York
Republicanism loses no force when brought
into comparison with the cold-shoulder sup
port yielded to the ticket by the Times. In
fact, it shows that the discipline of the party
and its harmonious earnestness in support
of Republican principles has been restored.
