A few days ago we published an extract from
a story in The Land we Love" written by
Miss Fannie Downing. 1t was entitled How
a young lady goes to bed, y and although not
an entire stranger to lady's boudor, we can
not assure the less enlightened OF our sex of

us, we know, and as slight return we intend
to disclose to her sex the manner in which a
young man goes to bed, and shall cite, as an
example, one OF our own ac,luaintances For
convenience We adopt the same style in which
the other was written, and use the same tense:

NEARLY A VIcrrM-A fashionable young
lady of Milwaukee, who was ambitious to
shine as the belle of her circle, nearly fell
victim to her vanity last week. She heard
that arsenic was beauti6er and, resolving to
become an arsenic eater, she procured supply
of the poisonous drug Not knowing the
quantity that could be safely taken, however,
She used too much for the first dose, and her
friends were alarmed by supposed attempt
at suicide, until the victim, in an intelv from
violent sickness, was enabled to give an ex-
pIanation. A fatal result was averted by the
sSkilful attentions Of the physicians, and the
patient is in fair way Of recovery. Young
ladies who are determined to add to the charms
which nature has bestowed on them, should
beware of poisions, and trust only to nature S
cosmetics of air and exercise and pure water,
By these, ard the harmonious cultivation Of
their faculties. they will require beauty more
lasting and attractive than can be obtained by
any other means.

4 New Poem.
BY the lake where dropped the willow,
Row, vessels, row
Iwant TO be an angel,


And jump Jim Crow.
An old crow sat on hickory limb,
None knew him but to praise;
Let me kiss him for his mother,
For he smells of Switzer kase.
The Minstrel to the war is gone,
With the banjo on his knee,
He awoke to hear the sentries shrek,
There's light in the window for thee.
A frog he could wooing GO,
His hair was curled to kill;
He used to wear an old blue coat,
And the sword of Bunker Hill.
Oft in the Silly night,


Make way for liberty he cried
won't go home till morning,
With Maggie by my side.
l am dying, Egypt dying


Susannah, don't you cry;
know you how sublime thing it is
To brush away the blue-tailed fly.
The boy stood on the burning deck,
With his baggage check for Troy;
One of the few immortal names,-
His name was Pat Malloy.
Mary had little lamb,


He could tale unfold;
He had no teeth to eat hoe-cake,
And his spectacles were gold.
Lay on, lay on, Macduff,


Man wants but little here below;
And I'm TO be the queen of the May,
So kiss me quick and go.

Cincinnati Conference on the


State of the Country.


The Methodist Conference, lately held at
Urbana, adopted the following series
of resolutions, reported by the Commit
tee on the State of the Country"


Resolved, That we heartily approve the
reconstruction acts of our National Con-
gress, and especially those measures which
aim to make all men equal before the law.


Resolved, That we deprecate the appar-
ent determination of the President of the
United States to misinterpret and refuse to
execute, according to their true meaning
and intent, the laws of Congress respect
ing reconstruction, and his removal OF GER
tain executive officers who have sought to
accomplish faithfully the will of Congress
and the loyal people of the land.


Resolved, That we reject the political
heresy Of estate Rights" and that we in
dOrse fully the wholesome and patriotic
declaration Of Chief Justice Marshall, that
"America is my country, and Congress is
my government"


Resolved, That we lament the endeavors
of partisan press, and intinerating ad-
vOcates of leniency to traitors, stimulated
by the policy and suggestions of our Presi-
dent, to injure the public credit by their
persistent clamOrs for a reputation of our
national liabilities.


Resolved, That we will never consent to
a REIMBURSEMENT of those high objects
which were gained at such a sacrifice of
blood and treasure, through the conflict of
loyal with rebel forces in the field.


Resolved, That in our prayerful iudg-
ment "treason should be made odious,"
and "traitors" of high degree should hence
forth be made to occupy "back seats" in
the conduct of public affairs, until the
spirit Of loyalty takes the place within
them of hatred to the principles of repub-
ican equality.


Resolved, That we extend our sincere
sympathy to those officers of the Govern
ment whose honest endeavors to do right
have subjected them to the maledictions of
a perverse Executive; and we call upon
Congress and the General of our armies, to
continue to stand firm in their attitude of
opposition to traitors and to "heady'
wickedness in high places.


Resolved, That the protracted distur-
bance of our public affairs demands a rigid
inquiry into the prime causes of that pro-
-acted disturbance, and a prompt en-
f9rcennent of the constitutional provision
for impeachment against any officer of the
Government to whom it may justly be ap-
piled.


Resolved, That, recognizing the efficacy
of Christian prayer and effort in time past,
when our national unity and even exist
ence were in peril, we will henceforth la
Dor and pray that treason and strife may
come to an end in all our borders, through
the submission of the factious and disloyal
to the equitable demands Of an enlightened
Christian patriotism.


Resolved, That the great Christian Com
monweaIth of Ohio ought to purge itself,
at once and forever, Of all Unrighteous dis
elimination between the men ofhigh and
low degree among its loyal citizens, and
that we therefore, approve heartily the
pending amendment, which proposes to
strike out the word Ewhite" from the Con
stitutiOn of the State.

Soldiers, do you know that the Cop
perheads of Ohio will vote as bitter
~ and frantically against the COnsti-
tiOnaI amendment as they did during
the war against furnishing another
dollar to assist you to carry it on?
Will you be found voting with them
now? They called you "Lincoln hire
Iings." Are you hireIings enough to
vote their ticket? They hate and
curse the COlOred Union men because
they helped to fight the cOuntry's bat
tIes.-What an admirable display of
gratitude for you to vote with these
enemies Of the Union for such a cause
as that. The soldier that shall vote
constitutional amendment-nO," or
that shall omit to vote constitutional
amendment-yes," will be voting in
the direction in which his musket
kicked, and not toward its aim. Sol
diers, will you ''right dress" with the
Copperheads? That is the question.

INSTRUCTIONS TO DEPUTIES


1. When you desire to establish Council of
the U. L. A at any point, go there or send an
assistant Assemble eight or more loyal men,
explain to them the objects, and as far as you
think proper the principles of the Union League
of America. If they consent to become mem
bers, initiate them. After you have given them
the secret work, take the Chair, state to them
the number and names of the officers they have
to elect. You will then have them proceed to an
election to fill the different offices from among
the men initiated.


2 After the officers are elected, you will re-
quest eight or more of the members to sign an
application for a Charter. This application and
the fee of-you will forward to the Cores
ponding Secretary of the State League, who will
send a Charter and the necessary books, blanks,
DC, to the President of the new Council.


8. If you are unable to attend the organization
of Council, you may dcputiZc and send an as
sistant, being responsible for his prompt report


4. Instruct the Councils that they should hold
meetings once in each week, and that they
should follow the ceremony as nearly as possible.
Advise them to enlist all the loyal talent in their
neighborhood, and that they have speaking when
ever they can.


5. You will perceive that the success of the
Councils which you establish will depend in a
great measure upon the men who are its founders,
and who may be elected to fill the Offices. They
should not only be prudent, vigilant, energetic,
and loyal but they should be men who possess
the confidence of their fellow citizens.


6. You should establish Councils in each elec-
tion precinct These Councils should not only
have distinctive names, but be regularly number
ed


z. It is important that each Council be at once
put in communication with the State and Ma
tional Councils. Through these sources the
members of the League will be supplied with
documents. Each Council of the Union League
shonld, as soon as organized, subscribe for THE
GREAT REPUBLIC, the national organ of the
order which contains each week matters of in
terest and Importance to members of the League.

Of all pursuits by man invented,
The ploughman is tile best contented;
The calling's good, his profits high, go.
And on his labor all rely.
Mechanics all by him are fed
OF him the merchants seek their bread;
His hands give meat to every thing,
Up from the beggar to the King.
The milk and honey corn and wheat
Are by his labors made complete;
Our clothes from him must first arise,
To deck the fop, to dress the wise.


We then by vote may justly state
The ploughman ranks among the great
More independent than them all


That dwells upon his earthly ball.
All hail We farmers, young and old,
Push on your plough with courage bold;
Your wealth arises from your clod,
Your independence from your God.
If, then, the plough supports the nation,
And men of rank in every station,
Let Kings to farmers make bow,
And every man procure plow.

BUSINESS RULES FOR YOUNG MEN.


The world estimates men by their
success in life, and by general consent
permanent success is evidence of superb
ority.


Never under any circumstances, as
sumo a responsibility you can avoid
consistently with your duty to yourself
and others. In other words, "mind
your own business"


Base all your actions upon principle
of Justice, preserve your integrity of
character, and in doing this never reckon
on cost.


Remember that self interest is more
likely to warp your Judgment than all
other circumstances combined, therefore
look well to your duty when your in
terest is concerned.


Never attempt to make money at the
expense of your reputation.


Be neither lavish nor miserly; ofthe
two avoid the latter. A mean man is
universally despised, but public favoris
a stepping stone to preferment there
fore generous feeling should be cult.
waited.


Promise but little; think much and
do more.


Let your expenses be such as to leave
a balance in your pocket. Ready
money is always friend in need.


Keep clear Of law suits, for even if
you gain your case, yodr are, generally,
a loser.


Avoid borrowing and lending.


Liquor drinking, smoking cigars and
chewing tobacco are bad habits, they
impair the mind and pocket, and lead
to Il waste of time. They tend to let
one down, but never to lift one up in
the regards of the virtuous and good.


Never relate your misfortunes to
others, and never grieve over what you
cannot prevent.

Garibaldi's son Ricctioti, challenged
Brenna, the editor of the Malone of Florence,
on account of some reflections upon the ex-
Dictator's political sagacity, which appear
ed in that paper last July. 1t was a very
preposterous quarrel, and the duel which
came of it was so grotesque that the narra-
tive reads like fiction. The weapons were
cavalry swords. and the meeting took place
in q cellar. which certain Florentine noble
man courteously put at the disposal of the
combatants, going so far as to have it care
fully cleaned for the occasion Both adj
versaries were wounded. Young Garibaldi
received a cut in the wrist, and Brenna an
ugly cash in the face, dividing the forehead
and splitting the nose. After that they
shook hands, and the eye witness, from
whose account of the affairs we gather these
particulars adds, with the utmost serious
ness, that the whole party then went up to
their hospitable entertainers boudoir, glad
that all had gone off so well, nothing having
that could occasion much regret"

In the tribe of Negdeh, there was a
horse, whose fame vas spread far and
near, and a Bedouin of another tribe,
by name Of Daher, desired extremely to
possess it. Having offered in vain for it
his camel and his whole wealth, he hit
at length upon the following device, by
which he hoped to gain the object of
his desire:


He resolved to stain his face with the
Juice of an herb, to clothe himself in
rags, to tie his legs and neck together,
so as to appear like lame beggar. Thus
equipped, he went to wait for Naber,
the owner of the horse, who he knew
was to pass that way. When he saw
Naber approaching that way he cried
out in weak voice:


81 am a poor stranger; for three days
I have been unable to move from this
spot to seek food. I am dying; help
me, and heaven will reward you"


The Bedouin kindly offered to take
him up on his horse aud carry him home.
But the rogue replied


l cannot raise 1 have no strength
left"


Naber, touched with pity, dismount-
ed, led his horse to the spot, and with
great difficulty sot the seeming beggar
on his back But no sooner did Daher
feel himself in the saddle, than he gal
loped off, calling out as he did SO


ct is l, Dahor, have got the horse,
and am off with ii"


Naber called after him to stop and lis
ten. Certain of not being pursued, he
turned, and halted a short distance from
Naber.


You have taken my horse, said the
latter. Since heaven has willed it,
wish you joy of it, but I do coniure
you never to tell any one how you OBJ
tanned it."


"ADd why not ?" said Daber,


" Because, said the noble Arab, ''an-
other man might be really i'll, and men
would fear to help him. You would be
the cause of many refusing to perform
an act of charity, for fear of being dup
ed as I have been."


Struck with shame at these words
Daher was silent for a moment, then
springing from the horse, returned it to
its owner embracing him. Daber made
him accompany him to his tent where
they spent few days together, and be-
came fast friends for life"
