A Woman’s Question.
Before I trust nty fate to tlioo,
Or plnco my hand in thine,
Before I let thy future give
Color and form to mine,
Bcforo I peril all for thoo, question thy soul
to-night for me.
I break all slighter bonds, nor feel
A shadow of regrot;
Is there one link within tho past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith ns clear and tree as that which I
can pledgo to thee?
Poos there within thy dimmest dream
A possible futuro shine,
YVherein thy life could henceforth breathe
Untouched, unshared by mine?
If so, at any pain or cost, 0, tell mo before all
is lost.
Look deeper still. If thou canst feol
Within thy inmost soul
That thou hast kept a portion back,
YVhile I have staked the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow, but in true
mercy tell mo so.
Is tliero within thy heart a need
That mine cannot fulfill ?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still ?
Speak now, lest at some future day my whole
life withqr and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid
The domon spirit Change,
Shedding a passing glory still
On all things now and strange ?
It may not bo thy fault alone—but shield my
heart against thy own.
Oouldst thou withdraw thy hand one day,
And answer to my claim,
That Fate, and that to-day’s mistake—
Not thou—had been to blame ?
Some sootho their conscience thus; but thou
wilt surely warn and save me now.
Nay, answer not—l dare not hear,
The words would come too late ;
Yet I would spare thee all remorse ;
So comfort thee, my Fate—
YVhatover on my heart may fall—remember I
would risk it all!
Outrages by the United States Soldiery in
Louisiana.
A gentleman writes to the New Orleans Bee
of a recent date as follows :
On Sunday afternoon an old gentleman, one
of the oldest and most respectablo of our
French population, wishing to take some quiet
recreation in company with his little grand son,
took the Dauphin street cars and proceeded to
the barracks, below the city. There they sat
down on the benches which are placed on the
bank of the river, outside tho barracks enclo
sure.
While sitting there, the negro sentinel on
duty in front of the gates rudely bawled out,
“Got out of thero; you cannot sit there! ’
The gentleman, who is quits old, and be
sides understands English hut imperfectly, did
not hear the order— in fact, did not understand
it. It was repealed once or twice, when he,
having his attention elicited by tho repetition
of the angry tines, turned his head, and per
ceived the brutal and cowardly assassin in tho
act of leveling his piece to fire at him. Then,
understanding to somo degree tho import of
the order, lio immediately rose and left the
place.
The question is—and is one in which our
whole people are interested —is it a part of
the orders that General Mower lately received
in relation to the placing his department in a
state of defense, that his ignorant ruffians are
to insult and shoot down defenseless and unof
fending citizens? Or does General Mower
himsolf give such orders on his own responsi
bility? Or does any of his subordinates?
Does he approve of the action of this negro
sentinel? If so, it is time that our people
kuow exactly upon wliat footing they stand.
The Hardest Lesson.
The hardest lesson a human being can learn
is that of sell-conquest. That once learnt, all
the rest is easy. Perhaps it is more difficult
for a woman, for women arc more impulsive
than men. It is terrible for any one to set
aside all things else for the sake of duty ; to
say »his hope, this joy, this thing that makes
life beautiful stands in tho way of what ought
to be first, and turn one’s back upon it; but it
can be done, and must be done by every one
at some time. One must learn, also, the sup
pression of emotions which it is not wise to
express. If they cannot be killed, then buy
them alive, and say nothing. One almost dies
in tho attempt, but the proudest momont of
any life is when it can he said with truth, “I
can do what I will with myself; I have no
habit I cannot in an instant break ; I have no
thought I cannot refuse expression ; I can for
bid myself to be angry, to seek vengeance, to
resent even uncalled-for insult and imperti
nence ; and I can take even love, tho strongest
of all human emotions, from my heart, and
stranglo it, when to love would be either wrong
or foolish.” Tho men who drink to excess,
the men who gamble, and the women who die
of love for some fellow incapable of appre
ciating them, arc people incapable of soll’-
conquest. Think of that, and learn to conquer
your heart, your mind and your appetites.
An English paper gives a curious calculation
of the weight in gold which each of the liber
ated Abyssinian captives has cost the country.
Ten millions sterling, reduced to weight in
sovereigns, represents 78 tons, 12 cw'ts., 1 qr.,
14 lbs., 8 oz., or for each of the sixty men,
women and children released from tho clutches
of King Theodore, an expenditure in solid
•Told of 1 ton, b owts., 23 lbs. and 1 v z -
(From the Imperialist.]
General Robert E. Lee.
Tho great crises of the world’s progressive
sure to develop or bring forward great central
characters —men of exceptional power and go
nius—round whom not only men but events
naturally group themselves. Such an one, be
yond all doubt, is tho man whoso name wc
have placed at the head of this article. What
ever differences of opinion may exist as to the
naturo of the moral responsibility which he
assumed in accepting the command of tho ar
mies of the Confederacy, it is hardly to lio
presumed that many men, even at tho North,
are still so blinded by the bitter feelings cn
gendeted in tho great conflict that they' fail to
discern and acknowledge tho remarkable abil
ity of the chieftain whose single name and
individual force so long sustained a sinking
cause. Hardly in the gathering clouds of tho
closing scenes of his military career is the
strength and dignity of Gen. Lee’s character
obscured. Even those who fought against
him, and we were among them, cannot with
hold from him a certain amount of respectful
admiration.
Our abject at this tiino, however, is by no
means to prepare a eulogy upon the great
Southern leader and champion. In previous
articles wo have tried to point out tho fact that
more than a few of the representative monos
the North were silently but assuredly awaken
ing to tho truth of tho position which we
have so bcllly assumed, and it is our belief
that the stronger and clearer minds among our
Southern fellow-citizens aro not wanting in a
similar perception. YVe have therefore selee
ted General Lee as a narno sufficiently promi
nent to point our moral.
From the day when he surrendered to Gen,
Grant and accepted the failure of the political
enterprise, for which he had sacrificed so much,
his position has been one of silent and digni
fied aoquie cinee iu the results of the war ;
but it is not to be gathered from this that he
fails to comprehend those results in all their
length and breadth. It may rather be believ
ed he clearly perceives the drilt of public af
fairs, and is contented like thousands «f oth
ers of our best and wisest, to wait in peaceful
patience for tho inevitable developments of
tho future.
Conscious that tho old ropublic'has ceased to
exist, the sagacious leader sees no reasons for
trying to persuade himself that the country
can contiuue forever in its present transition
state, but calmly waits for the future in the
attitude of a man who will assume no respon
sibility for that which ho cannot prevent. And
in all this Gen. Lee and all those who imitate
him, are acting well and wisely. Their course
can give no offence to any,while it tends to allay
those partisan prejudices which if fostered by
the jealous watchfulness which, they too spee
dy return to public life would cause, might
hereafter interfere with their patriotic useful
ness in the better days to come.
Still, in pondering tho great events in which
they have been partakers, such men must at
times be struck with the vast difference be
tween that which they attempted, and that
which they accomplished ; they attempted sim
ply to divide the Union, and they determined
the fact that a Republic was no longer possi
ble in America; refusing longer to be govern
ed by the Constitution they enabled the coun
try - and world to see that tho Constitution no
longer.governed anything. In defending ‘State
rights’ they secured the abolition of even State
lines, and they may now, as tlr-y consult to
gether over tho past and the future, say to one
another, “we indeed failed, but a great work
has been done nevertheless. Lot us wait.”
That General Lee has no high opinion of
our existing institutions must he evident to all
who have watched his oourse, nor Can even
tho most rabid idolator of the caucus form of
government blame him if ho refuses to shut
his eyes to the hope of better things which
is held out to him by the greater national
strength and industrial freedom which the em
pire will guarantee.
YVe have simply presented General Lee as a
representative man, a prominent type, but
thero are others not less so, of whom wo shall
speak hereafter.
A witness was examined before a judge in
a case of slander, who required him to speak
the precise words spoken. The witness, fixing
his eyes earnestly on the judge, began :
“May it please your Honor, you lie, and steal,
and get your living by cheating." The face
of tho judge reddened, and lie exclaimed,
“Turn your hsad toward tho jury when you
speak.’’
If you are a wise man you will treat the
world as tho moon treats it. Show it only
one side of yourself, seldom show yourself too
much at a time, and let what you show bo
calm, cool and polished. But look at every
side of the world.
A cotemporary says of an eloquent preach
er : “During the sermon, he paid a high tri
bute to the character of Christ.”
Os the two thousand citizens in Indianapo
lis, who swore off from drinking, the first of
January, eleven still hold truo, seven being
editors.
A newspaper in a rival city thus speaks of
a promising western town :
“A Chicago paper ooneludes an account of
a marriage in that city with the declaration
that ‘the partios were then united for life.’
If they were it was certainly the first thing of
the kind that has ever occured there since tho
flood.” •
Cincinnati now contains as many inhabi
tants as did the entire State of Ohio, twenty
years after its settlement.
A Pithy Sermon to Young Men.
You are the architects of your own fortunos.
liely on your own strength of body and soul.
Take for your motto self reliance, honesty and
industry ; for your faith, perservcrance and
pluck, und insonbo on your banner, “ Be just
and fear not." Don’t take too much advice ;
keep at the helm and steer your own ship.
Strike out. Think well of yourself. Firo
abovo tho mark you intend to hit. Assume
your position. Don’t prnetico humility ; you
can’t get abovo level—water don’t run up hill
—put potatoes in a cart over a rough road and
tho small potatoes will go to the bottom. En
orgy, invincible determination, with a right
inotivo, uro the levers that rule tho world.—
Tho groat art of commanding is to take u fair
sharo of the work. Civility costs nothing and
buys everything. Don't drink; don’t smoko;
don’t swear; don’t gamble, don't steal; don’t
deceive ; don’t tattle. Bo polite ; be gener
ous ; be kind. Study hard, play hard. Be in
earnest. Be self reliant. Read good hooks.
Love your fellow men as your God ; love your
country and obey the lawe ; lovo truth ; love
virtue. Always do wliut your conscience tells
you to boa duty, and leave the consequence
with God.

A Twenty Acre Cotton Crop.
In the Cultivator, for June, Mr.’ David Dick
son, of Hancock, says :
“ On the 3d of May I commenced the twenty
acre lot and finished on the 10th of May ; com
menced planting the 7th of May ; tamed un
der a fine eoat of green manure ; used 800 lbs.
of my compound per acre. It made thirty-two
bales—the last one being a bag and a half,
and paid a dividend on $4,000 per acre, after
paying all expenses, and improving the capital
tan per oeut. on what it would sell for ; but as
1 wish to be fair, I will state the sale of the
seed increased the net dividends two-thirds or
more, bat the lint alone paid a net dividend
of one thousand dollars or more per acre.”
At apolitical meeting the speaker and au
dience were very much disturbed by a man
who constantly called out for Mr. Henry.—
YVhenover anew speaker came on, this man
Ytawled out for ‘Mr. Henry ! Henry ! Henry 1
Henry ! I call for Mr. Henry 1' After several
interruptions of this kind at each speech, a
young man ascended to the platform, and was
soon airing his eloquence in magniloquent
stjle, striking out powerfully in his gestures,
when the old cry was heard for ‘Mr. Henry 1
Henry 1 Henry ! Honry 1 I call for Mr. Henry!’
The chairman now rose and remarked that it
would oblige the audience if thee gentleman
would refrain from any further calling for
Mr. Henry, as that gentleman was speaking.
‘ls that Mr. Henry ?’ said the disturber of the
meeting. ‘Thunder, that can’t be Mr. Henry 1
Why that's the little old cuss that told me to
holler I'
Wells Calls Grant a Drunken Ass. —Mr.
YVells, Radical candidate for Governor of Vir
ginia, pronounces Grant “an ass, and what is
worso, a drunken ass.” His account of his
interview with the President is thus given in
the Petersburg Express :
“When we entered the room, he was lean
ing oYer the table with a segar in his mouth,
and his chin resting on both hands. His eyes
was fishy, and he ineffectually attempted to
rise as we came in. YVe introduced our busi
ness at once. ‘Mr. YVells' said he, ‘my desire
is peace and harmony throughout tho country
and I will even sacrifice my principles (if I
have any) to secure these things. Os course,
as far as I can do so, without interfering with
my main purpose, I will favor you as a good
Republican, but you must not expect me to
venture the success offfiiy administration in
your behalf. I consider that the- Virginians
themselves are chiefly to be consulted in this
matter, not you. I say this after due deliber
ation, and I shall put the same views before
my Cabinet.”
Ball Room Morals.
The press aDd people of tho Old Dominion
are now earnestly discussing the impropriety
of round dances. The ‘German’ shocks tho
sensibilities of the good dames, who appeal to
their daughters to shun its contaminating in
fluences. One lady exclaims in the Richmond
Whig :
“Maidens, do you not remember the time
'when, if a lover, whose honor was unsullied
as his heart was pure and truo, if he, in chiv
alrous devotion, might touch the rosy tips of
your soft, white fingers, he felt himself most
honored above mankind ? And now, oh, griev
ous truth 1
“Our loveliest and our fairest ones,"
are whirled round in the arms of rnen whose
hearts are as stained as their moustaches."
Pashunce of Job.
Everybody iz in the habit ov bragging on
Job; and Job did have considerable pashunce,
but did he ever heep a districk skule for 8
dollars a month and board a round or run a
kountree noospaper?
Did he ever reap lodged oata down hill on a
hot day, and have all his gallus buttons bust
oph at once ?
Did he ever hav the jumping toothache and
be made tend the babe while hi* wife wos over
to Parkinses to a tea squall ?”
Did he ever get up in the mornin’ auful dri,
and tuf it 3 miles before breakfast to get a
drink, and find that the man kept a temper
ance house ?
Did ho ever undertake to milk a kicking
heifer with a bushy tail, in ily time, and in
a lot ?
Did he ever sot onto a litter of kittens in
the old rocking chair, with his summer panta
loons on ?
if he could du all these things and praise
the Lord at the same time, all I have tu say
iz,‘‘Bully for Job.”—[Josh.

Terrific Rnht hud Bail Storm.
About 3 o’clock on tho afternoon of the 28th'
of May tho most terrific rain and hail •torat'
Over known in that vicinity, passed OvsrTVfceH
ing, Vn.
For full twenty minutes hail stones as largo
as oggs, and somo even larger than a man’*
fist, fell liko rain. YVater rushed down Mon
roe street with irresistible fury, carrying away
boxes, barrels, and bales, with the current.’
Market and Main streets wore flooded to the
depth of a foot, and, tho sewer* boing obstruct
ed by ice, the water flowed into cellars of wore-’'
houses, doing much damage.
Main street, from Monroe to Quinoy, was'
covered with hail stones to the depth of twtf’
foot. All the East and South windows, froth'
tho suspension bridge to the creek, were
ken, and many awnings were completely rid-i
died. Tho number of panos broken were etti
mated by thousands. The loss of twohotela'
alone amount to $2,000. Tho vineyards on'
the islands and hills surrounding the city wen 1 '
greatly injured, and fruit and shade trees WeA’’.
torn up hy the roots, or completely stripped of
foliage. The iron roof of the Baltimore and'
Ohio depot was blown off. Many accidents''
are reported, but no lives were lost.
The afternoon train on the Hamilton Rail*’
road was compelled to return before reaching
the outskirts of theeity. The boltof tho storin''
did not extend more than a mile above the city,
and the lower wards escaped the hail shower
entirely. The loss is variously estimated af
from $20,000 to $50,000.
A Curiosity,
A phenomenon more wonderful aod strug#
than has appeared on earth since the orentiorf
of our first parents, is now on exhibition nt tM
Crescent City Museum, 40 and 42 St. Charier*
street, opposite the main entrance to the St.
Charles Hotel, New Orleans. It i* » case of
lusus naturae so very remarkable, that the
learned and scientific find a subject that bas«
flos their comprehension, and a field of study
of absorbing interest. Tho phenomenon re*
ferred to is Christine Milly, the comely, intel- .
ligent and interesting “ Two Haadod Girl,"
a pleasing female, seventeen years old, who ’
possesses the attributes of two perfect heads,
a brilliant mental quality, aod but one mentaF
organization.
The mind usually associates something hid-'
eous or repulsive in strange or remarkable
freaks of nature, but this case is a singular’
exception in every minutia ; her heads are '
perfect in formation, with intelligent, pretty
and pleasing faces ; her form and limbs sym
metrical and finely developed ; her movements
are easy and graceful; her mind is expansive
and well cultivated, and her education and ac
complishments are beyond the ordinary stand*'
ard. Among some of the many peculiarities
of this great wonder, ie her ability to converse
with two persons, on different subjects, at the
same time ; to sing very beautifully two parte*'
of an air at onee, or converse and sing to* *
gethcr.—[Ex.
Remembering and Forgetting.
It is quite a good thing to be able to retnem
ber, but it is no loss desirable to bo able to for*
get. Happiest among men is he whose will
exorcises the strongest control over his mom*
ory, for he can bury his cares in oblivion, anch
record the pleasant incidents of his life where
“ every day he turns the leaf to read them."
Some men can remember nothing. Theirs
is a great misfortune, for experience is of no
use to them. They walk in darkness, minus
the lamp by which wiser feet are guided, and
of course stumble as they go. There are oth* -
ers whose vile forte it is to remember pleasnr*
ably all that good men strive to dismiss from
their recollection. Their minds aro like filtergf
which permitYhat which is pure and excellent
to run through them, bat retain whatever i*r
coarse and noxious. Their fund of immoral
information is inexhaustible, but of facts which
illustrate the best traits of human nature of
tho wisdom and benevolence of its Aathor,
their memories are bare. There is a very large
class that cannot remember benefits—another
that nevor forget wrongs. In short, the spe-*
eialitios of memory and forgetfulness are man
ifold.
Paralyzed from the Effects of LwafNiifa; -
—On last Sabbath, 11. W. Davasher, of thi*
county, his wife, and daughter, Dora, were
terribly paralyzed from lightning, and Mier
Dora more seriously than either. She waa
