Having traveled iu the South for the last few months, and knowing the feeling of the Southern people to ward vuii, as Chief Executive of this nation, lean assure you that a cor dial reception awaits vou s and that •V. :n l >r ‘ here have a bene ficial < .'icct towards reconciling the prejudices which have been engen der'd during the late war. I have, j during my present tour, made a great many appointments to address’ the j j •ople‘Of this section on my prinei-! ph -of Truth and reconciliation, buS realizing that views which dojustico t .the motives and patriotism of the Southern people, mustreaistthogon ( iaT prejudices of the North, l prefer to more fully explain them there be-* lure 1 ask a full recognition by the p;v,-; of the South. Tiie Southern people have truly been misunder lood in the iate conflict, and they cannot be reconciled while their true motives are spurned with contempt*, their patriotism disregarded, and their gallant dead lie in dishonored! graves. . I hey accept, philosophically, the -ilufition in which the fortunes of war have placed them, and entertain no idea of again contending for what they sincerely thought was right. They have been reconstructed from a basis of prejudice, they should now he reconciled by the influence of Truth. Their views of right must lie held -acred, or a union of feeling cam ot be effected. The triumph <ff of the Federal army over the Confed erate established no principle of Truth. The soldiers of both armies were lighting for Washington’s prin ciples, us pure patriots with a total disregard of each other’s standpoint, Hence, they will > have to change 'andpoints, and conic to the conclu sion that they were both right, the May they viewed it, and both wrong because they viewed it wrong. And . on tio oilier basis can a reconciliation 1 now be Greeted but that of equal' honor and glory meted out to Fede ral and Confederate alike. Had the I Don federate army triumphed over the Federal, (which would have been certain hud they held the resources of the latter,) the North would not have changed, and ’could not have liiouglit any less of their noble dead; j ■ od you, as the gallant commander 1 qf that army, would have contended ! I'>r the sincerity vi your priori pten j the same as the Mouth do now for; their Lost Cause. The act of secession placed you in the Presidential chair; without it, you would now bean humble citizen in the private walks of life. I sin cerely-trust you will, in this hour of ymir triumph and exultation, feel to wards the Southern people as the late President Lincoln did: ‘charity for all, and malice for none.’ Without secession tjircc millions of blacks would now be slaves, and by the sanction of a Govern m jut which [ never thought of abolition on philo-j sopliical principles, that of purchase, | but hrhl the Union of the States, with slavery recognized as a consti tutional right, paramount to their liberty. Their freedom was thus compromised, and they have achiev ed it by the blood of both armies; hence, their sympathies must be equal in respect to the dead who fell as martyrs ton principle of misunder st uidioglby which they became free. 1 have tried for the last twelve years to take a philosophical view of the struggle, and I trust you will, by next December, recommend such measures to Congress that will secure | the same pension to the Confederate ! soldiers as is" now awarded to the Federal, and as time mb re fully lifts the veil of prejudice which has en shrouded the bonth, at the close of your second term as Chief Executive of the nation, 1 think it would be philanthropic for you to say to thej impoverished Southern people, ‘you deserve pay for a portion, at least, if not nil, of your slaves, which they! would now hold had they listened to the demands of the North. Howev er great this may resist the prejudi ces of the Northern people at present, 1 truly deem it a truthful and un-l prejudiced view of the claims of the South, and stand ready to assume all ! the responsibility ol'prejudice which it may engender by self-martyrdom, loving truth for truth’s sake. No ! one can imagine, without seeing, the j poverty of the greater portion of the j Southern people; thousands, once j wealthy, are now penniless, and the j kindness and generosity of the great j mass of the people of the Southern States is only equaled by the heroic ! fortitude and energy which they dis play in rebuilding their desolated country laid waste by war, the bat tles having mostly been fought on Southern soil. Thousands of old grey-headed men can here be seen, men with their forms bending to the tomb, that could once command their thousandsof dollars, with now scarce-; ly the necessary means for a scanty subsistence, and in this struggle for constitutional liberty it should he re membered distinctly that the South did only what the North would have J done had they been similarly situa ted. ‘ . , , It appears in the providence ot Cod | that this war was to have been. It was fortunate a few, unfortunate for thousands. Among the iqriner j you can truly be classed. The aim of all, both North and South, should ho\V be to become reconciled. Let j the past be buried in oblivion, and j let disinherited truth be the basis i'rbm which all should now calmly reason. The South has been impov erished and the North enriched by this war. Honor and patriotism is all the South have left, and this should now be held sacred. Trusting you will not postpone your intended visit, and that 1 will have the pleasure of seeing you be fore I go North, I with pleasure sub scribe myself your true friend for tiie cause of Truth and Reconciliation, “J.

About a year ago, a troupe was starting from Boston to make a short season through the principal towns in tiie East. In the company was the leader of the orchestra, (Jake I annerbarm,) a gentleman of line musical abilities, of decidedly Teu ! tonic extraction, who liked bis beer I :U1< ‘ cheese, but bad a mortal horror <>l our Yankee dish, pork and beans.

I lie landlord was let Into the secret ; the waiter feed, and the fun com menced on Jake’s appearance at tiie j breakfast table where he was polite-! | ly R«ked by the waiter, — I, “VVili you have a few beans for breakfast “No!” was the emphatic reply; “I (load vant no peans.” “O, ’ said the waiter, “you must eat 1 i everybody eats beans Sunday.’ I v\ ith a look of extreme disgust. !

I Jake not finding the landlord, was I compelled to go without his break-i last. Resolved not to be cheated out ot his meal, he put on his hat and went in search of a lager beer saloon wncre he could get his favorite bo- j Jog mi and beer, but alas for poor Jake ! the wumlay law was in force, ami, nothin- was to be had, so he had to ! wait till noon to satisfy his appetite, ! u men was never poor. Well, the i dinner bell sounded, and up went 1 our hero, who, as before, was met by I out kuthlul waiter, who again an- i Fronted him, and smilingly said,— I . '' ell, Jlr. TANARUS., will you have a few ; ucuns to commence with?” I h is was too much, and the answer, > coucned in the most amiable tones, came forth : “No, py tarn, J tole you two dimes, 1 von’t eat peans.” !«m" “aline Got in himjnel, wl\o der —ll is going to eat dis dinner, you or me, i dal’s vat I’m drying to find oud.” “Oil, very well, ’ responded the waiter, “if you can’t speak civilly, I stmjßiot wait upon you.” Up jumped tii<e irate Dutchman to again find the landlord, which he did, and related bis grievances, but was partially pacified on being-told that the waiter should be promptly discharged, and told him to go up stairs and get his dinner, while lie, in the meantime, was going to take a short ride. Back went Jake, only to find that the boys had again locked the door, and he was wild ; seizing his hat, he again rush ed out to make a more thorough search for something to cat, but with no better result than before. Asham ed to come back too soon, poor Jake waited until near supper time, when lie again returned to the hotel, and seating himself in a corner, not a civ il word could any one get out of him. Shortly, supper was announced, and .lake was one of the first at the jhiblo. Prompt to his cue, the waiter again Went for him, but before lie Could ask him his order, Jake broke out: “Yaas, you may pring me some peans; you vas right dis morning, veil you say 1 moost cat peans; you may pring me some peans /” and for the first and probably the last time in ids life Jake did eat beans; but how the lager and bologna did sutler when the company struck the next town.— Westfield News Letter. An exchange says; “Many peo ple take newspapers, but few pre serve them, yet the most interesting reading imaginable is an old file of newspapers. It brings up every age with its bustle and everyday affaire.” It may be true that the newspaper brings up the bustle of every age- it is certain that the bustle brings up! the newspaper of every age. Common sense cannot supply what nature lifts denied. Those who boast of it most, possess the least of it. As j a personal vaunt, it becomes utterly J offensive. Common sense is most 1 brilliantly illustrated by showing consideration for the feelings of oth ers. It rises to the full dignity of a desirable virtue, when it displays it self by silence in regard to the" defi ciencies of others. Unuarpy.—A pious invalid went to a church last Sabbath far the first time for several months. “Did you enjoy the sermon V* said the husband, thankful to see her in bis pew again. “Enjoy it, J guess 1 did, immensely, till I looked at the lady in a front j seat, and all at once 1 was unhappy, for, would you believe it, my back hair wasn’t up high enough.” A lady asked a gentlemen who had traveled a little in the Yellowstone country whether he really consider ed it equal in scenery and general features to Switzerland, and whether they had “goitres” there. He repli ed that ho considered it far superior to Switzerland, and that the very day before he left he saw a large flock of goitres come tearing down a preci pice, two of which lie brought to bag with his rifle. A prominent mercantile firm of Staunton, Va., in closing up an ac count, received from one of tlieir cus tomers, the following ptbmisery note: “On or before the Ist day of Septem ber 1873, 1 promi-e to pay to Bum gardner & Sons the sum of t hirteen dollars, with interest from date, for value received.

The leading naturalist of tiie world, hot Agassiz, lias been lecturing in ...an > raneisco, and is reported by the ban I raneisco Scientific Press to have said : “I have pointed out over a hun dred specific differences between the bonal and nervous system of the ► , *^ G man and the negro. Indeed their frames are alike in no partieu il *, 1 . re iis no hone in the negro’s body which is relatively of the same shape, size, articulation, or chemical l,v of the same composition as tiiat of the white man. The negro’s bones contain a far greater proportion of 1 calcareous salts than those of the \» liite man. Lvcn the negro’s blood js chemically a very different fluid ! i Iroin that which courses in the veins ! t, he white man. Tiie whole phvs icu! organization of tiie negfo differs , quite us much from the white man’s ' as it does from that of the champan-1 Xv\* that is, in his bones, muscles uei v es and fibres, the chimpanzee has i ; u °t much farther to progress to be come a white man: This fact science inexorably demonstrates. i has 1,0 mor e to do with tne difference between the white man and the negro than it has with that between the negro and the chimpan zee, or it has between the horse and the ass, or the eagle and the owl.— ; r.aeu js a distinct and separate crea tion. Ihe negro and the white man I weie created as specifically different ■as the owl and the eagle. They were designed to fill different places in the system ot nature. The negro is no more a negro by accident or misfor tune than the owl is the kind of bird he is by accident or misfortune. The nogio is no more the white man’s brother than the owl is the sister of ine eagiC, or the ass the brother of tne horse. How stupendous, and yet now simple, is the doctrine that the Almighiy maker of 1 lie universe has created different species of the lower animals, to till different places and offices in the grand machinery'of na ture.” TJic same views, remarks the Ma con Telegraph, were long ago ex pressed by eminent scientific men in the .Southern States-of America, and some ten or twelve years ago were boldly defended by a distinguished member of the British Scientific As sociation in London. The facts, if they are facts, are pregnant with the most important political and social deductions—which are sufficiently ob vious. A paragraph is in circulation in which it is stated that Prof. Agassiz denies having over stated that there is a chemical difference between the blond ot the white and black man.— We ate not sure that the denial is au thorized by the Professor. Whether sieged difference tained in his lecture, as reported by the San Francisco paper. Wirut is the difference between a hill and i\ piil? One is sometimes hard to get up, and the other is often hard to get down. When a Cincinnati woman shoots at her drunken husband and misses him, the newspapers say: “Another bjillet wasted.” Philosophical happiness is to want little and enjoy much. Vulgar hap piness is to want much and enjoy lit tle. A French author has translated a passage from one of Cooper’s novels as follows: He descended from his horse in front of the chateau and ti ed him to a large grasshopper. The original reads, a large locust. Puzzle. — A boy being asked how many chestnuts he had in his basket, replied, that when he counted them by twos, by threes, by fours, or by sixes, lie had always one left but, when he counted them oy sevens, they came out even. How many had he ? who will answer ? ~T 'When the fire was sweeping through Pearl street, in Boston, one of the large shoe dealers, seeing that his stock could not be saved, invited the bystanders to help themselves. A policeman, who appeared on the spot, not advised of the invitation, indignantly observed an individual pulling boots, pair after pair, from an open case before him. “Villain !” ho thundered, “what are you about?” “Trying to find a pair of eights,” was the mild response. Napoleon not Dead. —The last romance concerning Napoleon 111. comes from an English letter to the Paris Figaro. The writer asserts with absurd earnestness that the Em peror is not dead, but that by means of a chirurgical -piot and dummy he slyly got away from Ciiiseihurst, went to a small London note!, with his papers all in order, cut his mustache, shaved off his imperial, and put on an artisiie wig. Thence this marvelous tale takes him to France, where he is said to be travelling about at leisure, V-.o situation of affairs and reserving himserr tw The letter includes a dispatch from ti person who declares he was met and ; reconized in FauborgSt. Houore. KEEP OUT OF DEBT. Half the perplexity, annoyance and j trouble that men have in this world is in consequence of getting into debt. —it seems natural for'some people to ! buy and incur obligations without I measure, so long as they pan avoid i paying ready cash. Give one of this sort a chance tobuy on credit, and the question of payments are matters ; that he cares but little about. But what a crop of trouble springs up j from the seeds of debt. How many gray hairs it brings, and how often it shortens life—sometimes leading men to commit smeide or murder.. And yet how easy it is to keep clear of this terrible monster. Every young man should form a fixed and unalter able determination, before commenc ing his active business career, not to incur one penny of idebtedness, uu | der any circumstances. Never buy ; anything unless you have the money to pay for it at once. Pay no atten tion to the “splendid opportunities,” ! “rare chances,” “bargains,” and the like. Such are only traps set to catch victims. If you see anything that you would like to accept, look first at your money pile, and make the an swer depend upon that. Always pay as you go. If you are shorte of mon ! ey, guage your demands aecording ! iy. POETRY. tiie hidden noun.

JVS T FOR T Y YEARS A GO. [There is much of beauty and simplicity in the following lines. They have been long pre sen ed, but we know not their author: I’ve wandered to tiie village, Tom: I’ve sat be neath tiie tree, Upon the school-house ground which sheltered you and me; But none were left to greet me, Tom ; and few wore left to kuow, That played with, us upon the green some.forty years ago. J The grass is just as green, Tom; hare-footed boys at play, Were sporting just as we did then, with spirits just as gay; But the “master" sleeps upon the hill, which ! coated oVr with show, Afforded us a sliding place, just forty years j ago. “ J j The school-house is altered now ; tiie benches are replaced By new ones, very like the same our penknives ! had defaced; j But the same old bricks are in the wall, the i bell swings to and fro; Its music Just the same, dear Tom, Twas foity I years ago. : | The boys are playing some old game, beneath that same old tree ; i lia\e forgot the name just now- von’ve play ed the same with me, On that same spot; ’twits flayed with knives, by throwing so and so; The leader had a task to do—there, lortv years ago. * ' Arc Wider than they were, Tdm, uw sUvan’ appears less wide— But the grape-vine swing is ruined now, where orn-e we played the Iteaii, And swung our sweethearts—“pretty girls”— just forty years ago. The spring that bubbled ’neath the hill, close by the spreading beech, Is very low— twas ouce so high that wc could almost reach; <• Aud, kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom r I started so, To see how sadly 1 am changed since forty years ago. Near by the spring, upon the elm, you know I cut your name, Your sweetheart’s just beneath it, Tom, and! you did mine the same; Some heartless wretch has peeled the bark,, ’twas dying sure but slow, Just as that one whose name yoir cut, died for ty years ago. My lids have long been dry, Tom, but tears! came iu my eyes; I thought of her 1 loved so well —those early! broken ties; I visited the old church-yard and took some! flowers to 6 trow Upon the graves of those we loved, some forty, yours ago. Some in the church-yard laid—some sleep be] neath, the sea, But few are left of our old class, excepting yot and me; xlnd w hen our Lime shall come, Tom, and wi are called to go, I hope they’ll lay us where we played just for ty years ago.

A prominent dry goods merchant of this city worked half an hour on the following proposition and failed to give the answer: “If fourteen men build a stone wall in nine days, how long will it tpke five men to build a like wall in six days?” A skeptic, who was trying to con fuse a ehristion colored man by the contradictory passages in the Bible, asked him how it could be true that we were in the spirit and the spirit in us. “Oh !” replied ho, “dar’s no puz zle ’bout dat.

Bums vs. Insects.— Tiie thrush works from half-past two in the i morning uuti! half-past nine in the evening, or ninteen hours. During this time he feeds his young two hundred and six times. Black-birds work seventeen hours; the male feeds the young forty-four times, and the female fifty-five times. The in dustrious titmouse spreads before its voracious offspring four hundred and seventeen meals a day, the bill of fare consisting chiefly of caterpillars. WHY CLOY E lull PROVES THE SOIL. Professor Voelcker thus explains the action of clovor in increasing the fertility of soils: “All who are practically acquaint ed wit h the subject must have seen t hat the best crops of wheat are pro duced by being preceded by crops of eloter grown for seed. I have come to the conclusion that the very best preparation, ihe best manure) is a good crop of clover. A vast amount of mineral manure is brought within reach of the corn crop which other wise, would remain in a iocked-np condition in the soil.—Tiie clover plants take nitrogen from tiie atmos phere, and manufacture it into their own substance, which, on decompo-! si lion of the clover roots and leaves, I produces abundance of ammonia, j In reality, the growing of clover is! equivalent, to a great extent, to ma nuring with Peruvian guano.” RAISING CABBAGE.

I A friend has sent us from the Uni ! varsity of Louisville (Medical De -1 pnrtment) a diagnosis of the peculiar ,1 symtoms, giving well-known reme dies for the control of the disease as used in that institution with success. , The writer of the prescription is well known as one of the most eminent physicians in the United States, and this is the recipe: Louis Ville, Feb, 28, 1872. “Spotted fever is eerebro-spinal meningitis, or inflammation of the i ; membranes of the brain aud spinal j cord. Its symptoms are various In , different eases/ Those you mention are usually prominent, lee to the head and along the spine while the fever lasts; pounded ice eaten or swallowed, so us to melt in the stom ach ; opium in the beginiug of the | ' disease, and bromide of potash after] the fever abates; concentrated nutri tious liquid diet, a well ventilated room, c( mfoitably warm, are tho . principal elemeuts of treatment. You have little reason to fear it. It is connected with badly drained hab itations and uudeaunessof thedwell iugs ana surrounding grounds, damp, badly ventilated lodgings.
