Senator Brown, of Georgia, thinks
that rebels have as many rights in
courts of justice as those who were al.
ways loyal. In the Senate, few days
ago, he was the centre figure of altrac-
tion while discussing bill which sends
all claims to the Court of Claims, by de.
clarlng that the hill ought to allow
those who were in rebellion to have tho
hight to prove their claims against tho
Government. He quoted from the do.
cisions of the Supreme Court, showing
that after pardon all ex.rebel Ind e
many rights in court Of justice as \
citizen who had been loyal. He said he
only thought it was just that the fund

which accrued from the sale of captured
and abandoned property in the South,
should DO distributed among >the real

The lesson of Gambetta's death at the
hands of an infatuated woman, whose
very love destroyed the object Of it, Isl
Il wholesome one. The highest, as the
lowest, "tempt tn illicit rove" at their
peril. A man may shatter powerful
dynasty, rule with an iron hand great
nation, unaided though he be by hered-
itary right, or aught save intellect, will,
and clear judgment, with courage to
act sail over caguering armies in bal
looms, escaping shot and shell; by his
spirit infise the energy of desperation
into great people; compose and rule
factions and walk unframed in revolu-
ton but if he lay his hands upon the
marital rights of others, or arouse illicit
affection in woman, he mayexpect to
see the sweetest blossom that has bloom
ed since the fall, turn to the deadlest
upas, for his destruction. The very
affection which clings all the more mad
ly, that it is q lawless love, drags him
to u dishonoring alliance or to destruc-
ton, stabs him in his home. or in some
way avenges itself, loving even when it
Stays. The world over the same phe-
nomonon is appearing and reappearing
every day, from howell to palace. 1t has
even ceased to be believed, where 10y
atty is yet the strongest, that the king
can do no wrong in his relations with
women. Every day the press teens
with the old story, and the half is not
told. From cabin to stately mansion
womans lawful love will build for itself
and for its object an Eden, and her law
less love, for both a hell. Man was
made to seek and to evoke woman's
love, and upon him lies the RESPONSE
bility.
Gambctta found to his cost, after he
had trampled upon another's rights and
won n wifes affections away from her
husband, that he was loved, truly, but
loved by demon Of his own creating
whose love was deadlier than an honest
woman's hate. The lesson is there, buI
it is of no consequence. The world il

notwithstanding, but it will not be ever

the proportion of men weak enough t.

And you re "going" to wed you say
although, sweet girl, you're not sixteen)-
Are going to wed thisye in May
Wien Nature II all be fresh and green"
Then in your life ] d flowers blend,
Without single thorn between;
But YOU will find, fear, my friend,
That you and Nature both were green.
/ fear you II find when you re a wife
That cold can come and love decay;
For Winter comes in married life,
And seldom comes another May.
The brightest flower has a thorn
That stings when flowers are all dead;
And love all me !--conccals scorn
And hatred Of the marriage bed.
As little thorns sweet low'rs between
Do often 60 with sweet boquet-
Az insects in the fruit when green
Do hasten il to quick decay
So friends will come, for gossip sake,
To hear your troubles and repeat
All things you say--'tis thus they make
For sweet May blossoms cold and sleet.
OF guard yourself, my friend so fair,
Against these snakcsof Paradise;
Trust him you wed with all your care
And seek from him, alone, advice.
Ask him 10 do the same by you
To trust no other one in life;
TO be- a husband, loving, truo.--
You be faithful, trusting wife.
And when you both are older grown,
Pcrchancc in travelling on my way,
III "call, and oh hope you u own
Your lives have been perpetual May.
Have faith in love, though little cares
Sometimes in love should intervene,
A hasty word may unawares
Blot out the love Of sweet sixteen.
Have faith, dear Em.," my winsome one
And both OF you net well your parts
So handsomely that when life's done
You II welded be in hands and hearts
II should live until next May
II try to be on hand. not,
Then think Of me and Of the way
I've told you how to bear your lot.

II. Female University d sha Ssvth,"
At Winchester, {: A: Tenn,
A LOCATION
unsurpassed for variety and beauty of scene.
ry, and entirely exempt from all malarial and
epidemic diseases.
THE METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
in this Institution are such as common sense
and the wisdom gained from long experience
have demonstrated to be most effective.
No plan is accepted or rejected because it is
"ncw" or "oid," but il proved best no stigma
isp!aced upon ii because it is not the birth Of
yesterday.
THE TEACHING
in this College is fully up to the progressive
demands Of the present. Both the instruction
and example such that even the sluggish and
indifferent soon become interested, and study
becomes u positive pleasure.
THIRTY YEARS
the Mary Sharp has stood firm amid the des-
olation of war and the prosecutions of envy
and jealousy, and this long record OF faithful
and successful toll should be sufficient guar
antee for the future.
STUDENTS OF THIS COLLEGE,
occupying positions Of honor throughout the
land, and who, by the education here receiv-
ed, are made blessings to thousands of south
ern homes" and to the communities in which
they reside, are iiiing witnesses Of the thorough
work done at the Mary Sharp in educating
mind and heart.
ECONOMY
OF dress is insured by neat and inexpensive
uniform.
Books and stationery can be bought at
Nashville prices. No combinations formed
by which any teacher is to receive profit in
monies spent orpupils.
THE PROSPECTS
Of the Institution were never better; requests
for Catalogues and information received dali
ly, not only from the Southern States, but
from points north Of the Ohio river.
THE STANDARD
Of education is high, and rests upon the con-
viction that every system of Instruction should
be estimated by its success in promoting the
higher education by its ability to increase
the power and range Of thought, and to not
only excite the mind to extended scientific
research, but to join with it that pure moral
culture by which alone the true dignity and
well-bcing OF humanity is insured.

THIS FAVoRITE LINE
Supplements its Already Splendid Service
by additional Accommodations

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis
Railway, the pioneer line Of Tennessee. in
equipment, construction and schedules, has
inst taken long stride In advance. The
time was when one passenger train day, in
each direction, making slow time, seemed a
great achievement; but the demands Of this
ace are such a. to require three passenger
trains daily, each way, between Chattanooga,
Nashville and the Mississippi river, and the
management OF this road having fully grasp
ed the situation has come up to the require
ment.
The traveller now requires the day for the
execution of mis- business, and consequently
must utilize the hours of darkness in getting
from place to place. This road also supplies
this desideratum by furnishing the most com
plete through sleeping car accommodations
between the great commercial centres. Inc
new schedules OF this line in connection with
its sleeping cur service from Church street de-
pot, this city, seems to be all that could DC
