The bond that links our sonis together ; Will ;t la-o through stormy weather ? Will it moulder and decay As the long hours pnss away ? Will it si retch if i'ate divide us, When dark and weary hours have tried us? 0, if it look too poor and slight, Let us break the links to night! It was not forged bv mortal hands, Or clasped with golden bars and bands ; Save thine and mine, no other eyes The slender link can recognize : In the bright light it seems to fade— And it is hidden in the shade; While Heaven nir Earth hath never heard, Or solemn vow, or plightod word. Yet what no mortal lmnd could mako, No mortal power can ever break ; IV hat words or vows coull never do, No words or vowr can make untrue ; And if to other hearts unknown The dearer and the more our own, Because too snored and divine For other eyes save thine and mine. And see. though slender, it Ssmnfdo Os love and trust, and can they fade ? While, if too slight it seem, to hear The breathings of the summer air, We know that it c -uld bear the weight—• Os a most heavy heart of fate, And as each day and hoar flew The strung' r for its burden grew An I, to , we know and feel again It has been sanctified by pain, For what God deigrs to try with sorrow, Ho means not to decay to-morrow; But through that fiery trial last, When earthly ties and bonds are past; What slighter strings dare not endure, Will mako our love more safe and pure. Love shall be pnriSod by pain, And pain be soothed by love again : So let us.now take heart and go Cheerfully on through joy and woe : No change the summer sun can bring, Or the inconstant skies of spring, Or the bleak winter’s stormy weather, Fur we shall meet them, Love, together! Preseut anti Future Prosperous Condition of the South. It is remarkable as a singular fact, tlint there has been vet no reflux From the South of currency to.the North ; for an unusual amount has been sent Sou:h, and its mer chants, it is stated, have purchased Ireely of merchandise-, paying largely in cash, yet these payments have been largely exceeded by the receipts in the South on account of cotton. It is concluded that a large amount of cur rency has been hoarded by the planters to be held out of circulation until their wants compel them to purchase merchandise; and as the total realized on the cotton crop is unusually large, the amount thus kept stagnant, our New York authority thinks, must be proportionally large. The r&cuperaliun of the South is simply a question of time. Her products are necessary to the wealth of the country, and so long as she is allowed to devote her energies to her great prominent agricultural interest, she can n..t lie bept down in material progress. The ord.-ai through which she has passed, has taught the farming and planting interest to husband its resources; to curtail its expenses; to practice economy, where, in former years, it was prodigal; to live within its means, and to take care of the fruits of its labor. The annual surplus, instead of being inves-. ted in large part in the acquisition of slave labor and in luxuries procured from the North, can now be to tlie same extent devoted by the farmers and planters to the improvement and enriching of their lands, and the beautifying of their homesteads, and in building railroads and factories, and devoted to other investments which will promote their comfort, enrich their section, and ultimately result in regaining the position of importance formerly occupied by it, and which gave it the influence which weighed so much in advancing tlio progress and prosperity of the country. Population and wealth will follow in due course of tijue, and with their accession, the respect and influence which are inevitable. Wo have only to devote our energies to the work of industrial development in order to regain not only what has been lost, but to ad vance far beyond what we had formerly con iceivod. With the natural bounties which have been bestowed upon us, our toil, our climate, our minerals, our harbors, we shall attain a promi" nence and prosperity far beyond those hitherto possessed. The destiny of the South is on* ward and upward.—[Petersburg Express. Development bv Electricity. —A foreign physician has recently started the theory that children may be improved in mind as well as in body by the use of electricity. lie gives the iffstaneo of a child, which was a phenom enon of deformity and stupidity, which, under the iuflucnce of electricity grew three oenti meters in a single month, and has since been always first instead of last in his olass. Veg etation is much richer and more rapid in its growth when electrified than otherwise. The theorist proposes by way of experiment, that the six lowest pupils of each class in a lyceum or college be subjected to this electric treat* ment. Weeds are God's policemen. They mako lazy farmers cultivate the soil, which without them, would never be stirred and consequently never produce a crop. A good farmer hoes often, weeds or no weeds, but a slack fellow never uses the hoe if he can Gud any excuse to avoid it. Extraordinary Views jof GdiictrO Forrest. A correspondent of the Louisville Courier- Journal writes lia follows’; A few days ago General Forrest and Major Minor Mevriwether, Engineer of tlio levees on the Mississippi, were niy conn anions part of the way from New Orleans. As we passed through beautiful tracts of country lying waste I asked O'chcval Forrest how it could ever be repopu luted. il Wiih negroes,3 was.bis reply; ‘‘they are the best lab ircrs we have ever had in the South. These among us behaved during the war in, such ti manner thut 1 shall always respect them for it, and I would niff have one of mine enslave.! again if I could. My houso servants, continued he, are with me yet in Memphis, and never would have me.” But said I, you liavc had the name of being hard on that peculiar It is not true, sail he with energy, l have always feit kindiy toward them, and always treated them kindly. Even the Fort Pillow massacre was investigated, ftnd the Federal officers to a man stated tiiat I was n.it to blame. The fort never hauled down the flag; I cut it down with my own hands, and did all I could to Stop tho tiring.” But how, General, continued I, are you Ur repopu late with negroes? Get them from Africa, was his startling reply ; they’ll improve aflor getting heto pare the most imitative creatures in the world, and if you put them in rquads of ton, with one experienced leader in each squad, they will soon revive our country. 1 want Northmen to come here, and* would protect any man who comes to build up the country with my life; but they won't come ; Europeans won’t come; theu, I say, let’s get Africans. By pursuing a libertil policy ' ttf them we can benefit them and they us. The prisoners taken in war over there can all he turned over to us, and emi grate and be freedmen here. I had an interest, said'he, in the Wanderer, and we brought over four hundred; only six per cent, died. They were very fond of grass hoppers and bugs, but I taught them to eat choked meat and they were as good niggers as any I e-er had. When prejudice gets over, ou r government will foster this scheme. There is no need of a war of races. I want to see the whole country prosper. It’s my country, anil I d'.n't intend to give it up as long as I can do anything to Luild it up. lam an American, and from the day I surrendered have been for the United States,” A spring wagon has been invented by a gentleman of Maysville, Ky., which ha pre* poses to run without any kind of animal or steam power. He has already perfected a small model, which runs up or down hill very rapidly. Tho power is received from an im mense coiled steel spring, whioh will run for half an hour without being wound up. In going up hill the spring exhausts itself, but in going down hill winds itself up. The inventor claims that he can carry very heavy loads over any ordinary road. Never complain of your Girth, your training, your employment, yi.or hardships; never fancy that you could lie something, if you only had u different lot assigned you. C-eal undoistnuda his own plan and he under stands what you want a great deal better than you do. The very things that you deprecate as futal limitations or obstructions, are proba bly what you most want. What you call hin drances, obstacle*,and discouragements may be God’s opportunities; and it is nothing new that the patient should dislike his medicines, or any certain proofs that they aro poisons.— No! A truce to such impatience! Check that devilish envy which gnaws your heart, because you are not in the same lot with others; bring down your soul, or rather bring it up to receive God’s will, and do his work in your lot, in your Sphere, under your obscurity, against* your temptations ; and you will find that your con dition is never opposed to your good, but really consistent with if. —'■ ... V-«3E-* : A wealthy man was one day so much amused at the wit of bis foolLh attendant, that he gave him iiis cane, and told him that whenever he should find a greater fool than himself, he must return the cane. In process of time the rich man neared his death. Sending for his fool, be bade him farewell. Where are you going? asked tho fool. To another world, answered the rich man. When will you return? Oh, never. Have you made preparations for this long journey? Ala* 1 I have not. Then, master, take back your cane; never could there be a folly so great as that. Kind Words. They never blister tI.Q tongue nor lips. And we have never heard of any mental trouble arising from this quartor. Though they do not cost muoh, yet they accomplish much.— They help one’s nature and good will. Soft words soften our own soul. Angry words are fuel to the flames of wrath, and make it blaze more fiercely. Kind words make other people good hatured. Cold words freeze people, hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words mako them wrathful. There is such a rush of all other kinds of words in our days, tiiat it seems desirable to give any kind words a chance among them; There are vain words, and idle words, and hasty words, and spiteful words, and silly words, and empty words, and boisterous words, and warlike words. Kind words also produce their own image in men’s souls. And a beautiful image it is. They sootlio and quiet and comfort tho bearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. Wo have not yet begun to use kind words iu such abundance as they ought to be used. Religions Insincerity. Ts all the hypocrites who take refuge from the world’s opinion under the cloak of reli gion, and 'neath the shadow of the churches reach heaven, then will the Supreme Being need pity. But wo have this consolation—the hypocrites, the Puritanical deceivers, the long faced, ranting, canting, whining, whited se pulchers, full of uncleanness and hypocrisy, Aa'ntiot enter into the homo of the biesaed or the beautiful eternal. No man under Ilis great arch, more loves the causo of Christiani ty, more venerates religion, more respects, those who ar6 deserving of religious respect than does the writor of this. No man more loves that which is good and honest, and beau tiful of mind and character, than does the ed itor of this paper. Ancf no Otic in all the land has more con tempt for the hollowness, hypocrisy, and mock religion, and the efforts of thousands to fool theiiHeHow-men by wearing long faces and maskß having enraved thereon pictures of churches and religious forms, than do we. The churches of the present day have be* come, with very few exceptions, but political machines, caucus-rooms, wherein sach week Christ is crucified afresh for the benefit of the negro or some drunken politician, who would sacrifice not only his own soul but tho cause of his Savior, to obtain some office, grat ify some spite, or fill his purse 6r place of res idence with stolen property. It may undeniably bo said that church and state, that religion and politics, are the two great thieves between which truth is crucified hourly. Had there been no religious bigotry and intolerance iu the country, there would have been no late terrible war. Ilad those who professed to teach religion, taught Christ and him erucified, love on earth, peace and good will to all men ; had the so-called religionists of America been one half as liberal in practice as in theory, there would not have been the fearful slaughter, the reckless disregard, the terrible hastening of souls unprepared into the eternal, as we hare seen within the past few years. If the ministers of the gospel, sot apart and ordained to teach us the road to Heaven, had confined themselves to their legitimate duties and honored their sacred calling, the country would be much better off than at present, and there would be more men in whose hearts could be found true religion than we now have with us. It inis been the aim of certain churches in America to preach only politics. Their dea cons, their elders, their professors of religion prate-over virtues they possess not; teach morality, sobriety, temperance, and religion in their Sabbath schools, yet invariably vote for the retention of thieves, swindlers. corrupt men, tricky politicians, drunkards, and unwor thy persons to bold office and legislate for the people. We cannot see one bit of religion in passing by a half starved beggar in the street who is dying for a sixpence, for the sake of putting an* unbroken dollar on the at church. We cannot see why it is that the eyes of Christians follow up their church spirets, noticing tho height and beauty there of, with no disposition to look into'tho cellars, cabin*, and homes of the poor. We cannot see why it is that women put on their dia monds, their silks, and all the fineries and trickeries of fashion when they go to the place of worship to o)>en theirihearU to God, when the Bible aud true religion so earnestly de nounce them for so doing. We cannot soe why it is that professors of religion should ar ray themselves as if for ball or festival when attending church, professing to worship God iu meekness and humility. We cannot find religion in this hunting over of a fashion book six days of the week and looking at a hymn book or Bible ten minutes of a Sabbath, all the while professing to pos* sess that Heavenly love, Christian meekness, and contempt for outward show, upon which professors of religion base their hopes for a happy immortality. When we look about in the cities and country Jseeing how many there are of the poor the needy, and the suffering; when we look at the magnificent churches where thousands aud thousands of dollars are foolishly expended for style, we cannot but think the religion of this country is very lame ; when wo see ministers of reli gion, who have professed purification from worldliness, more intent upon pleasing the rich than the poor, more intent upon following fashion than Jesus ; more intent upon political than religion conquests; mors intent upon pleasing silk than calico; more intent upon winning smiles from hypocrisy than truth— we cannot help thinking but that very much of the so-called religion of the day is .but a hollow, mockiuh, unebristianliks, hell-deserv ing invention of the devil, intended to catch and hold hypocrites for punishment hereafter. —[N. Y r . Democrat. A modern philosopher has appropriated man’s full extreme as follows: 7 years in childhood's sport and play 7 7 years in school from day to day 14 7 years in trade or college life .21 7 years to find a place and wife 28 7* years to pleasure’s follies given 35 7 years to business hardly driven 42 7 years for some a wild goose chase 49 7 years for wealth, a bootless race 56 7 years for hoarding for your heir 63 7 years in weakness spend, and care 70 Then die and go—you should know where. Oaths are vulgar, senseless, offensive, impi ous ; like obscene words, they leave a noisome trail upon the lips and a stamp of odium upon the soul. They are inexcusable. Thoy grat ify no sense, while they outrage ta*te and dignity. VOL 4, NO. 20 A Man and Ilis Wile Murdered in Bed. A great deal of excitement prevails in Leb enon, lad., on account of the murder of A. J. Todd and his wife, near that place [on Thurso day. At an early hour on Friday morning, and man by the name of Bright callod at Todd’l house to go with him to their daily work.;— Bright was unable to get any answer from the inside, and could not open the door. lie look* ed into the window and saw the murdered man and woman. He wont to the neigh bors and gave the warning and sent to thi» place fur a Coroner, who summoned a jury and went to the place of the murder. Todd was found lying on the floor with his throat cut from car. to ear, arid a bullet halo in hie breast, and a riflo gun laying about throe feet from his Ixnly. Both his hands were clasped on his breast ovor tho bullet hole. Ills throat had been cut while in bod, where'bo had blod to death, and then dragged out of bed and thrown on the floor and shot. His wife. WiiS lying in bed with the bed clothes and her night clothes all in perfect order. Tho back aide o her head was mashed in, and there were sever al cuts across her face and arms and on be? head. An old hatchet was found in the Mi and an old caso knife was found on the flrior Both were bloody, and there was hair on thd hatchet. No clue has yet been obtained as U who could have committed this bloody deed,—[Ex. Stand Head.— At a recent examination in a female school the question was put to a claw of little girls : 1 v» ‘Who makes tho laws of offr Government? ‘Congress,’ was ths ready reply, •« i T ‘How it Congress divided? was -the next question. But the little girl failed to answer it. Another little girl in the class raised np her hand, indicating that she could answer it ‘Well, Miss Sallie, what do you say the di* vision is ?’ Instantly, with an air of confidence as trell as triumph, she answered : ‘Civilized, half civilized, and savage.’ Mr. Snipe’s Litany. .

Good Will. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal says many good things, and now he intimates what his will would be if be was rich. What an idea, to suppose an editor could be rich I lie says : If I possessed the most valuable things in the world, and was about to will them away the following would bo my plan of distribu* tion: I would give tlie world truth and friendship, which are so very scarce. The physicians, skill and learning. I would give printers their pay. To gossipping women, good sense, modesty, large waists, and natural teeth. To young sports and dandies, common sense, little cash, and hard labor. To old maids, good tampers, smooth facas, little talk and good husbands. To old bachelors, love of virtue, children and wives. Speaking of the effect of habits of sobriety, Mr. Barnum says : ,-nj “Two men will start together in life, the one keeping his head cool with water, the oth er muddling his head witli liquor. At the end of ten years the former will have achieved success, the latter will bo dropping Into a drunkard’s grave ; but just before be drops you’ll bear him say, “ 'stonishing what differ* ence 'er is in life !
