WIN AND WEAR.
All the wealth in miser's coflera
Wouldn't boy a deathless name.
Is a uoble goal before yon?
Would yon great achievement* bear?
Brothers, then be up and doing!
toother*, yon must “Win and Wear."
Toil and labor—never stopping
Till yon make the prize your own:
For yon know 'tis constant dropping
Wears away the hardest stone.
.Never slack sublime endeavor;
Nor ’mid cheerless toil despair ;
If you'd rise above your fellows,
brothers, you must “Win and Wear.*
Tis the lesson nature teaches
All throughout her wide domain :
And the text from which she preaches
Is “ That labor leads to gain.”
Moral worth and honest merit—
Bettor crowns that monarch bear—
Those you nover can inherit—
brothers, you must “Win and Wear."

“FutureSales” of Cotton.
A correspondent of the Mobile Eegia-
tc-r has some sensible suggestions for
planters who have cotton on hand. He
suggests that titera is at present only
about 35,000 lialea ol cotton held in tho
citj of New York, and, strange aa it may
appear, the gamblora in future sales have
sold for future delivery several hundred
thousand bales, of which 50,OOO to 00,000

‘ It js no use, Louis—I relinquish all
hope.’
The speaker was the young Count
laeolinde Mailly, who had just entered
tlio apartment of his friend, the Mar
quis D’Anbinot, and flung himself de
jectedly on one of the velvet lounges.
‘This morning I have mode my lost at

the woman I love so madly—Mademois

* Only one,’ said the marquis, after
meditative. puff at his hookah of several
moments duration.
‘And that?’ eagerly inquired Leolin,
bending forward to catch his friend’s re-
ply.
•You accompany Mademoiselle and her
maiden aunt to tho opera this evening,
do yon not V’
•Yes.’
* And will send them both boquets ?’
‘Certainly.’
‘ .Slip afnote iutothat of Mademoiselle
Stefanie.’
‘ Superb idea! Y'ou are my benefactor,
D'Aubinot!’ he exclaimed, * and you
have proposed a master-stroke of finesse.*
* Tell me about this maiden aunt, Ma
demoiselle Clemence. She is always
present when you visit the Hotel St.
Barochc to soo tho lovely Mademoiselle
• Stefanie ?’
‘ Invariably,’ replied Leolin.
‘And she is then a Medusa in appear-
* By no means. She is a fine handsome
woman, of the Juno type, thirty-five
thereabouts.*
* Surely my friend, even if you are
love with Mademoiselle Stefanie, the
society of another handsome ■woman—’
‘I understand, Louis,’ interrupted the
other. * But you musOtnow that I have
an unconquerable dread of Mademoiselle
Clemence.*
The marquis laughed boisterously and
long.
* Afraid of a woman! he cried, at
length. Impossible, Leolin; I will not
behove it.’
‘But I speak the truth,’continued Leo
lin, half infected by the contagion of his
friend’s mrriment. 'As I live, D’Aubi-
uot, were that woman to say ‘yes,’ I
shonld as soon presume to charge single-
handed a regiment cf Hussars, " ‘
answer * no.’
‘Butwhat is the strange power she
l>o.ss*<sses over you ?’
I can not account for tho emotion; I
merely know that it exists. As for ask-
_ uig Mademoiselle Clemence St. Baroclie
""" for the hand of her niece, I do not dare
to make the request. So entirely docs

whatever conversation takes place be
tween her niece and myself, that in the
society of these two ladies I am wholly
miserable. She has become the mediam,
us it were, through whose intervention
1 am permitted to communicate with Ste-
tanie. When I address a remark to the
neice, it is received by the aunt, and if I
may so express the operation—handed
from her to Stefanie. In like manner,
all that the younger lady desires to say is
presented first to the hearing of the
elder, who in her turn, proposes it to
myself. I assure you, my dear D’Aubi-
uot, that for the actual and personal re
lation existing between Leolin de Moilly
and the woman he adores, they might as
well speak different languages—the one
a Chinese or* Turk, the other a Pole or
a Russian., 4 ' Ah, my friend, it is narrated
of Pyrantels and Thisbe that they made
love to each other through a stone wall;
but I fancy that onr fate is still more
•agreeable. As if the words which Sto-
fanie St. Baroclie speaks to me,’ he con
tinued warmly, * needed an interpretress
to make me comprehend them. Some
times I feel as if I should go mad under
this perpetual system of conversational
f/miParuterie.’
* My dear Leolin,’ said the Marquis
D’Aubinot, roused into excitement by
what his friend had said, ‘there is only
one way of accounting for the behavior
of this Mademoiselle Clemence. I am
older than you, and have had more expe
rience in Parian life. Tho type to
which she belongs whom yon have been
describing, is, briefly that of tho femme
terrible; they are generally handsome,
like the Mademoiselle’s annt, andpossess-

And with whom ?’
Louis I^Aubinot puffed a voluminous
cloud from the mouth-piece of his hoo
kah, and answered:
* With yourself, Leolin there can be
no doubt of it after what you have told
me. Try that plan I suggested, of slip
ping a note into the boquet I still re-
l»eat—beware of Mademoiselle Clem-
‘You may leave the room, Stefanie.'
It was her aunt who spoke. Standing
in the centre of the brilliantly-lighted
drawing room, directly beneath the
blaze of an iifimense chandelcir, Made
moiselle Clemence St Bvocbe was un
questionably a superb woman to look
upon. Robed in a statute of Jnno in purple
“*~ v —coon ten-
irons eyes:
norms with pearls;
augel/' and purposely mentioning
name save his own, had been slipped by
the florist according to . direction. A
little farther toward the wall, and far less
conspicuously placed, was a second bo-
quet of jessamine and heliotrope, his gift
to Mademoiselle Clemence, which bad
accompanied tho other to her niece. .
As we have said, Mademoiselle Clem-
enec congliecl and glanced toward this ta
ble. Her whole manner was now so
thoroughly and unexpectedly auspicious,
that Leolin summoned courage enough to
murmur: *
You mean the ' boquet, Mademoi
selle?’
A briliant smile instantly overspread
the statnesque features of Clemence.
‘Yes, monsieur,’ she answered, in
tones of tho utmost sweetness, ‘ I do
mean the bouquet.’
Lcolin’s courage rose immensely.
‘And you have read tho note. 5 ” he
asked, eagerly. . ‘ You consent .to my—
my proposal?’ r?
Mademoiselle’s queenly head was bent
low, and the Juno’s face suffused with
blushes.
Yes, M. Leolin, I consent. ’
As to settlement,’ began the Count de
Mailly, too overcome with his new feel
ing of delight to notice the blushes of his
companion—‘as to settlements Made
moiselle ’
She interrupted him with a gentle
wave of her hrtnd and a repetition of her
former smile.
* I do not desire settlements, Leolin
de Mailly. My own fortune, left me by
the late Due St Barochc, Stc-fanie’s
father,{will amplo supply all my personal
wants. But thus is no time to speak of
dry business,’ she continued, her voice
sinking suddenly in a low, passionate
murmur. ‘Oh, Leolin, you can not im
agine the feelings with which I read the
note Enclosed in the hoqnet of violets
you sent mo this afternoon. The dream
of my lifo was at last realized—the long
ing to become the wife of ono toward
whom every sentiment and impulse of
mynatnre Great Heavens! you are
ill! I have spoken too earnestly, perhaps,
I did not imagine your love wos a mat
ter of snch intense seriousness, that for
mo to discuss how passionataly I recip
rocated it would thus affect you.’
She was bending over him now, fan
ning him with an exquisite toy of mar
about feathers which she had seized
from an adjoining table. Leoliu’s eyes
were closed, bis face colorless.
“Speak to me,” sbo murmured,
tone of thrilling entreaty; “oh, speak to
me, Leolin. 1 can not bear that deathly
look, though I love you all the more for
knowing that your love lms caused this
emotion. Speak to me if only three
words—‘I love yon.”
Was it tho subtile power which
tain strongly vital temperaments
known to possess over certain weaker
ones? Was it real old-fashioned witch
ery? Was it an immense evertiou of oat
will brought to bear upon another? Waf
it mesmerism? Was it magnetism? Iu
short, what was it that made tlio white
lips of Leolin de Mailly unclose and
mormur softly in the ear of Mademoiselle
Clemence:
* I love-yon.'
Will our readers credulously accept
the statement that in a fortnight from
the evening on which we write, Leolin de
Mailly was married, with all attendant
solemnities usual ou such occasions, to
Mademoiselle Clemence ^St. Baroclie?
is a fact, nevertheless.
A year has [passed. One bright May
morning, two men, botl\ young, both
handsome and distingue, meet near the
great statue in the Place Vendome, Paris,
and the following conversation takes
place between them:
* Ab, Leolin, I am delighted. I have
not seen yon since *
* My marriage,’ interrupted the other.
‘I recollect ^hat you started for Germany
a few days before the wedding, D’Aubi
not.’
‘More than that, my friend,’ answered
the marquis, with a curious smile. ‘ Yon
and I have not met since a certain morn
ing when you visited my apartment,
and ’
* Yes, yes’ again interrupted the other,
with an odd mixture of prim humor and
irritabibilty in his voice. ‘ You suggested
the plan of the note to a certain person,
which failed disastrously.’
‘ Failed ?’
Yes. The -florist put the note in the
boquet, as I desired, bnt sent it to the
annt it ftead of tile niece. The note was
addressed to no one in particular; I called
a certain person ‘dearest angel.’ , f
now your"curiosity is, I hope, gratified.

ilency of society fu IW direction of unre
strained indulgence iu all forms of «ebsn-
ous gratification is alarming. • Whether
this is tho result of a reaction in tho pub
lic wind from restraints necessarily im
posed by years of devastating civil war,
or of an advancing civilization which
ministers mainly to material ends and
luxurious tastes, it is certain that the
eager rush of Southern society after
amusements of one kind and another is
one of the startling signs of the time.
We feel assured that a religion of mere
forms and dogmas, whatever its boasts
may be, cannot arrest this current, or
counteract its tendency to ruinous social
degradation. Nothing less than a gen
uine godliness, in the power of its regen -
orating influence, can meet the necessi
ties of the case. So powerful, indeed, are
the fascinations of pleasure, so abound
ing the iniquity, in high places and low,
that “ tho love of many has waxed cold. ”
Young persons of cultivated mind end
elegant manners, who may desire to be
sincerely religious, are specially open* to
danger, from the tone of surrounding
fashionable society, and from tho plausi
bilities of tho worldly spirit. But the
law of gratification which rules the world,
and offers tlio present and immediate, is,
and ever must be, opposed to the unbend
ing law of duty which conscience and God
impose. There can bo no compromise
bore. There can bo no inwaTd experience
of grace, no valid religion of the heart,
which is not preceded by a full, unreserv
ed, irrevocable commitment to the Lord
Jesus. This commitment devolves self-
denial—taking np tho crossaud following
Christ. It is the surrender of tho will to
a supremo governing purpose—of the af
fections to a supreme go\ erning lov
religion of mere culture, of amiabilities
and H-stlietic tastes, of sentiment,
ion, and ceremony, may readily
participation in “ diversions wldol
not be used iu the name of the Lord Je-
darning and reveling, iu theat
rical, operatic, tuid circus exhibitions, in
the gambling operations of the turf-—not
to mention tbo recently revived excite
ment of the cock-pit But the religion
which is a divine life in the soul of Christ*
true disciple, heeds tho voice of con
science, and feels tho powers of the world
to come. It concerns tho dignity of ho
liness, the strength of self-denial, the
glad freedom of a spirit rejoicing
Right aud Good.
Such a religion needs not, desires not,
allows no participation in worldly pleas-
divisions which, however sanc
tioned by fashion, are felt and known to
bo wrong by every truly awakened heart.
Its spiritual disccrznenU is not deceived
by well-dressed plausibilities, by refine
ments in taste or respectabilities iu social
position. It has “put on the Lord Je
sus,” and mado “no provision for tlio
flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof. ” The in
fluence of this form of religious character
may be silent, but it is none tho less po
tent, iu tho family, by tho fireside, at tho
watering place, or on the broad thorough
fares of business. What the Church Un-s.
will alone affect the world.
Iu conclusion, we beg to suggest that
the jmstors of the M. E. Church, South,
give heed to tiiese tilings in tho adminis
tration of discipline. Indulgence in
worldly diversions of tho ^lass aforemen
tioned, we hold to be inconsistent with tlio
baptismal vows of onr members, and
with their Church covenant. They have
solemnly engaged to “renounce the devil
and all liis works, tho vain pomp and
gloiy of the world, with all covetous de
sires of tho same, aud carual desires of
the flesh, so that fli-y will not follow or
be load by _ them.’’ The Book of Disci
pline provides not only against crimes
and gross immoralities, bnt there is a
process laid down fur cases of “impru
dent, and indnlging siuful tempers or
words.” We aro persuaded that where
that process is faithfully, firmly, bnt
kindly followed, these growing evils may
be arrested.
That you all, beloved brethren, may
be blameless aud harmless, the children
of God without rebnke—lights in the
world, holding forth tlio word of life, is
the earnest desire and prayer of your
pastors. “Whatsoever things aro true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good re
port, if there beany virtue, and if there
be any praise, think on these things.—
And may the God of peace be with yon. *’

Beactifci. Sentiment^.—In Augustin
Laura Courtland’ niters these beautiful
sentiments: “ Let the woman you look
upon bo wiso or vain, beautiful or home
ly, rich or poor, she has-but ono thing
sue can give or refuse—her heart. Her
beauty, her wit, her accomplishments,
she may sell to you—but her love is the
treasury without price. She only asks
in tarn that when yon lsok upon her,
your eyes shall speak a mnto devotion;
that when you address her, yonr vhioe
shall be gentle, loving and kind; that yon
shall not dispise her because she cannot
understand all at once your vigorous
thoughts and ambitions plans; for when
misfortune and evil have defeated your
greatest purposes—her love remains to
console you. Yon look upon tye trees
for strength and grandaer; do-not. des
pise the flowers because their fragrance is
all they have to give. Remember, love
is all that a woman can give—but it is the
only earthly thing which God permits
to carry beyond tho grave.” *

Goo's Law Perfect.—Au eminent law
yer who had not read tho Bible, and was
doubtful about its beiug God’s word, ask
ed a Christian friend to tell him -what
books lie should rood to satisfy his mind.
His friend said, “ Read the Bible itself. ”
The inquirer thought his • question lmd
been misunderstood. lie wanted some
books that would say something about
tho Biblo. But his friend said: “No; I
will not send you to other books. Read
tho Biblo for yourself. ” The lawyer ob
tained a Bible. ‘ ‘ Where eliall I begin ? ”
said ho. “Oh, begin at the beginning,
and read it thronglu " The Christian
called upon him new and then, and' was
delighted to find that lie-continued to
read. O ae day the friend found tlio doubt
er walking np and down his room full of
thonght Ho .inquired what subject oc

been reading, ” said he, “ the moral law
in the Book of Exodus. ” “ Well, what

whether there is anything that can bo ta

U Onr humorists sometimes use the
keen edge ot their wit inrighteous slaugh
ter of follies that can be dealt with in no
other way so efifectively. Mark Twain is
at present the best of these. A Rev. Tal-
madge, of Brooklyn, recently said in tho
Independent, iu behalf of renting pews;
I have a good Christian friend who, if
ho sat in the front pew in church, and a
working man should enter the door at the
other end, would smell him instantly.—
My friend is not to blame for tho sensi
tiveness of his nose, any more than -you
would flog a pointer for being keener on
the scent than a stupid watch-dog. The
fact is*, if .you had all the churches free,
by reason of the mixing up of oommofl
people with, the uncommon, yon would
keep one-half of Christendom sick at
their stomach. If you are going to kill
the church thus with bad smells, I will
have nothing to do with this work of
evangelization.
To which Mark Twain responds:
We have reasons to believe that there
will be laboring men in heaven ; and also
a number of negroes, andEsqomanx, and
Terra del Fuegaps, and Arabs, and a few
Indians, and possibly even some Bpan-
iards aud Portuguese. All things are
possible with God. We shall havo all
these sorts of people in heaven; but alas!
in gettiug them we shall lose the society
of Dr. Tolmudge. 'Which is to. say, we
shall lose the company of one who could
give move real “tone” to oelestiftlsocie
ty than any other contribution Brooklyn
could furnish. And what woald eternal
happiness be without the Doctor? Bliss-
full—unquestionably—we know that well
enough—but would it be distingue would
it be recherche without him ? St. Matthew
without stockings or sandals; SL Jerome
bareheaded, aud with a coarse brown
blanket robe drugging tlie ground; St.
Sebastian with scarcely any raiment at all
—these we shonld see, and should enjoy
seeing them; but would we not
miss a spike-tailed coat and kids, aud turn,
away regretfully, aud say to parties from
the Orinet: “These are well enough; but
you ought to seeTahnadge, of Brooklyn.”
I fear me that in the better world we shall
even have Dr. Talmodge’s “good
Christian friend.” For if he were sitting
under tho glory of the Throne, and the
keeper of tho keys admitted a Bejamin
Frankliu or other laboring man, that
“friend,” with his fine natural powers
Infinitely augmented by emancipation
irom hampering flesh, would detect him
with a t ingle sniff and immediately take
his hat and ask to bo excused.
Suppression of Letters ant> Papers. —
R. Roman Correspondent of the New
York Times says:
Every day I have testimony to the fact
of the espionage and restraint exercised
with more rigor than ever by the Roman
police. No printed worckis allowed to
come into or go ont of Rome it it is not
of a tone set by the key of the Inquisition.
Look sharply to it if yon wish to make
sure of yonr letters, either received or
sent. The keeper of one of tho principal
reading rooms for foreigners tell' me that
there lias been no profit, but rather a loss,
in maintaining the establishment the post
season. Subscribers enough he would
have, but his newspapers are suppressed
at' the post-office if a word is round in
them criticising anything which is done
here. Sometimes not more than one
number of the London Times is deliver
ed to him in a week, while the petty in
justice is added of making him pay the
postage on tbo numbers destroyed* If
there is a word of expostulation tlio replv
