morning 1t is not swili milk, for they
have large pasture grounds, and in the
Winter the cows are fed on dry feed.
They have earned a good reputation as
dealers in pure milk, and the man has
more customers than he can supply.
| The wife is fine looking woman about
tweuty-,ive years of age, though she
looks to be much younger, and she has
the finest complexion that il was ever

with them q young girl, who is good
looking, and has the same remarkable
clearness of complexion as the mistress.

owe it to the large quantity of pure
milk that they drink. They are the

Being a frequent visitor at the house, 1
had often observed the husband, when
the milk was brought in, taking several
pailsfull up stairs, when his wife would
disappear for about an hour, and the

and involve the.country in a bloody
civil war, who was leading mem

General in the Confederate army,

bloody fields Of battle, is not dis
franchised, unless he had previously
taken an oath to support the Con-

There are many instances Of this

Gen Lee himself, the illustrious

the humble Union magistrate, who
relieved the distressed Of a son or

disfranchised!


There is not the remotest hope
or probability Of the Southern
States being restored to the Union
till after the next Presidential elec-
tion. Why, then, shall we volun-
tarily degrade ourselves, and give
up Our dearest political rights for
a 2elusion ? Ifdishonor must come,
do not embrace it. If we are to
wear manacles, let them be put on
by our tyrants, not by ourselves.
If a man threatens to kick you,
selfrespect would forbid your ex-
posing your person to him and
asking him to kick you at once
and be done with it. We have
lived already two years under
military rule, in great poverty and
distress, and have been cheered
all the time by the consciousness
that we are not q degraded, though
a conquered people.-We can con-
tinue to live in the same way two
years longer, or, if need be, ten
years, and feel a pride in knowing
that we have maintained our
honor, and made every effort pos
sible to preserve our freedom and
constitutional rights. A man who
feels that he has dishonored him
self, is lost and so it is with a
people.


Let US live quietly and peace
ably, attending diligently to our
various vocations in life-obeying
patiently the powers that be; but
never think of voluntarily voting
away our rights as a State or our
honor and freedom as men. Let
US trust in a returning sense of
justice on the part Of our oppres-
sors, which sooner or later must
come. Have patience, forbearance
and long suffering. The Southern
States fought four long bloody
years for what they believed to be
a sacred right proclaimed by all
the American people in their De-
claration OF Independence. Can
they not now afford to live four
years longer out Of that Union,
rather than sacrifice their honor,
their rights as States, and the great
republican principles offreedom

The Folly OF THE DAY.-There
is a dreadful ambition abroad for
being "genteel." We keep up ap-
pearances too often at the expense
of honesty and, though we may
not be rich yet we must seem to
be respectable" though only in
the meanest sense,-in mere vul-
gar show. We have not the cour-
age to 60 patiently onward in the
condition Of life in which it has
pleased God to call us but must
needs live in some fashionable
state, to which we ridiculously
please to call ourselves, and all to
crafty the vanity Of that unsub-
stantial, gcnteel world, Of which
we form a part. There is a con-
stant struggle and pressure for
front seats, in the social amphi-
theatre in the midst Of which all
noble, self-denying resolves is trod-
den down, and many fine natures
are inevitably crushed to death.
What waste, what misery, what
bankruptcy, come from all this
ambition to dazzle others with
the glare Of apparent worldly sue
cess, we need not describe. These
mischievous results show them
selves in a thousand ways,-in the
rank frauds committed by men
who dare to be dishonest, but dc
not dare to seem poor and in the
desperate dashes at fortune, in
which the pity is not so much for
those who fail, as the hundreds of
innocent families who are so often
involved in their ruin.

him one week ago yesterday, at Sandwich,
where he was employed as brickmaker--
The usual symptoms were felt during the

some Of his friends to tie him, in order to
prevent personal injury. Being frightened

do so. and he continued at his work all day

western shore, fell so that his head and
chest rested on a large block Of ice, while
his feet were in the water. There he lay
smoking his pipe for long time while
the boats were farther out picking up as
fast as possible those who were in a worse
position. He began, however, to realize
his position, and taking his pipe from
his mouth called out: Fifty pounds to
any one who will fetch me out Scve-
raj abortive attempts we're made TO reach
him with ropes, poles and ladders. A
man, with the aid Of ladder, reached a
small piece of sound ice, and endeavored
to throw a rope to him, but it fell short.
He then managed to push the ladder on
to piece of ice farther out, and stand
ing on it he again threw the rope. In
doing so he fell, and in clinging to the
ladder hurt himself and was drawn ashore.
A gentleman then got into an escape,
fitted up with barrels at the end. When
pushed out as far as possible he got into
the water and endeavored to push the es-
cape along, but he did not succeed.
Eventually man stripped to his shirt
and trousers, and rope having been
fixed to his waist, he desperately fought
his way through the ice, and seizing the
skater around the body, they were both
dragged to land amid tremendous cheers.


A man named Moore, who received a
medal two years ago for saving people
under similar circumstances, was very
active, and saved several persons. Just
as one of the boats approached sufferer
he sank, but young man in the boat
plunged after him into the water, and
brought him up. They we're both get
into the boat. Mr.. Wenzell, the proprie-
tor Of the boat, was most energetic in his
efforts, and many persons are indebted
to him for their lives


A young man stood on solitary piece
of ice in the centre of the lake for an
hour and half, and was at last fetched
off by man in a boat Within about
half an hour Of the breaking of the ice,
large bodies of police began to arrive,
and rendered great assistance in drag
ging ropes that had been caught by some
of those in the water, in fetching and
launching boats, and keeping idlers back.
All this time the excitement was kept up
by the frequent sinking of those who had
lost all power to support themselves.

"He could not sit still without saying a

who spoke. He had been teacher since
he was fourteen years of age-some forty
years-and he had never struck blow
He believed the fault was with the teacher

ex-governor Washburn concurred with
professor Agassiz:


'There is no need Of whipping girls to
to make them behave, lie reiterated the
acknowledgement by the previous speaker
that in five cases out of seven the fault was
with the teacher rather than with the schol-
ar: If there is necessity for punishment,
it is the duty Of the school committee
to remove the refractory scholar. Whip
ping is positive evil. 1t blunts the intel
lect and the scholars lose self-respect."

Thy kind face We meet no more;
Quickly past from earth and left us,
May thy spirit freely soar.
In that goodly land beyond US,
Where the weary are at rest,
Where We trust you'll be happy
May the good in heart be blest
You have left dear, good mother,
In whose heart thy love 5 secure;
And brother who will mourn thee,
Since you're with him no more
How we'll miss you in the circle,
When assembled to be gay;
Thy bright smile, Oh! how we'll miss it,
As we onward tread our way.
Back to earth, we fain would call thee
10 this changing world again,
Though in manhood you have left us,
You are through all earthly pain.
Friends and loved ones mourn in sadness.
For the dear one gone before;
Deep in our hearts Wen ever keep thee,
Though with us you stay no more

And again we hope to meet thee,
When the light of life has fled
May We meet with joy to greet thee,
