Wns he very angry at tho little apostle of temper- nnee? Wo shall see, At tho mention of ills name, ho pricked up Ills eai-s to llston. As John said, “I’in not nslinmed to lot ldm know that I’m fof teniperfmco—I on ly wish ho was,” two red spots burned on liis cheeks, nnd ho looked annoyed. But when John added, “Maybe Aunt Susy wouldn’t cry ns much ns she does; nnd maybe they’d have a house of their own to livein.” tile spots went oil'of his checks nnd he grew quite pule. What John said after this didn’t bring the blood hack to his fitco, hut ntndo It, if anything, paler. lie got up in a cowed sort of way, nnd left tlio room so quietly that the two boys did not hear him go odt. Now, Uncle Pldl, about whom John Imd spoken so plainly, deserved all that wns suid'of him, and a great deal more.— Intempernneo had almost destroyed his mnnhood. lie wns tho slave of strong drink. Appetite, indulged for yenrs, had gained a fearful power over ldm, and to gratify his burning thirst, lie spent near ly every dollar that he canted, and lived with his family meanly Dependent on his brother. Once ho hail been in good busi ness; now he wns n clerk, on sninll pay, in tho store of a ft-iend, named Mr. Os- hot tie, who kept him more out of pity than for the'service he gave. Sometimes he would he absent from his post for days, and often tin- hours in each day. The friend, after scolding him, threatening Mm, hut all to no purpose, hail about mado up his inind to turn him ndrift. “I can’t have him here any longer,” said Mr. Osborne, speaking to his bend clerk. “I’ve tried nty best to help him, but it's no use. As lie drinks up every thing he cams, it will bu bollor for liim to earn nothing." "I ’vo long thought thnt,” nnswered the clerk, “Tho fact Is, you’ve hovno with him to a degree that surprises every one in the store.” “I shall do it no longer,” wns the reso lute reply. “There ho comes now,” snid tho head clerk. Sir. Osborne turned, with n hard look in his face, intending to stop Uncle Phil before he reached Ins desk nnd tell ldm that liis duties there were nt nu end. But something in Uncle Thil’s maimer kept him from speaking wlint wns in ills thoughts. The poor man came in With a quicker step, and nit air of earnestness about liim not seen for ft long time. “I’ll not he Into lignin, Sir.- Osborne,” lie sniil, in mi humble way. “It’s nil wrong; hut it shan’t happen again. ” “I hope not,” replied Sir. Osborne, in a tono-tlmt gave Uncle Phil a start. “you’ve a right to be displeased,” the wretched man said. “I only wonder you’ve borne with me so long. But have patience with me a little while longer.— I’ve made up my mind to lead a new life, God helping mo.” Uncle Pltll’s voice trembled, anil pily came hack Into Sir. Oshomu’s licnrt, “God alone Halt help you,” answered MS kind friend. “Uiilessyougctstrength from liim, your case is hopeless.” “I mil resolved novel- to ill-ink one drop of liquor again so long as l live,” sniil Un do Phil, speaking solemnly. “All good resolutions nre front heaven, my friend,” answered Sir. Osborne; “anil from heaven comes tho power to keep them. Trust not in yqur own poor strength—it has failed you a thousand times; hut look upward, and wldlo you pray for help, keep yourself out of the old wavs wherein your feet 1mvo stumbled.— Tins is your part of tho work, nml must not fail‘for ail instant. If you go where liquor Is sold, you go out of the eirclo of safety; if you touch or tnstc it, you fall. God cannot help you uiiIcbs you try to help yourself; mid tho only way in which you can help yourself is to keep far oil' from danger. While you do this no strong desire for liquor will ho felt; hut if-you taste it you are lost.” • Uncle Phil stood with a bent head wlulfj Sir. Osborne wns talking. “I will never taste it again,” he am swercil—‘ ‘never so long as I live." A thing happened that ovening which lmd not happened for months. Unde Phil made ono of tho family circle nt lea- time. lie enme in with a soltor face nnd quiet air, giving nil a pleased surprise.— John, who had spoken his mind so freely In the morning, and who had been think ing about him all day—for ho was pretty sure Undo Phil lmd heard Msplnin talk— could not keep Ills oyes from ins face. Un cle Phil soon became aware that J olm wns observing Mm with keen interest. All nt once, breaking the embarrassed silence of the tea tqble, ho asked, looking ntthe hoy; . T , „ “Wlint are you for, John?” For a moment John hesitated, while lus cheeks grew red, then ho nnswored llrmly: “I’m for temperance.” There was an uneasy stir around tho.ta- hle, and a surprised looking from laco to **'“So mil I, John; and that makes two on the right side; and wo don’t care who knows it!” spoke out Uncle Phil, in a C *Oil,*wfafta'tearful, linpny timo enmo then! Aunt Susy oiled for Joy, and. din’s mother cried and hugged her little son when Unde Phil repeated tho brave, strong words ho lmd heard him say in tlio morning—words that wont like arrows to his heart. Uncle Phil never drank again. Before year lmd passed he nml Aunt fipsy were in a small house of their own, inU;:peiidin\t nml lmppy. So you sco how mpcli may ho done by a little hoy who stauds up for temperance, and Is not alVahl to spoak strong-,words in a good cause; " A t'lstl Nlnrjr, _Thu Montgomery Mall_tdls_tlio follow ing pnssaWo oiio: Wo met a hoy on'tlio.strccts yestordny, nnd without tho ceremony of nsklug our name, lie exclaimed: “Youjest erler been down to tlio river wldlo ago!” “Why?” wo enquired, “Because,” said tho hoy,, “a nigger was ... there swlnimln’ nml a lag cdt-ilsli como up bolilnd him and swallered both of his feet, and went swlmmln’ nlong on tho top of tlio water with him, and they come up behind another big flsh and tho nigger swallowed Ills tail, and the nigger anil tlio two fish jest went on swlnmiin’ about!”, “Well, then what?” wo asked. “Why, nftcr a while the nigger swallcr- cd tlio llsh, nml that’s tlio Inst I saw of them!” “Sonny,” said wo, with a]fooling of alarm for tho boy, “you ore in a fair way tojbocomo tlio editor of a Bndlcnl paper," nnd wo left him. « ♦♦ f ■ rwicffelftitt*.- Tho New York IlcraUl has recently set up for a wit.^Tho following nrohinonglts latest efforts: Tlio Cincinnatians nro proud of a'lmhy who tumbled out'of a three Rtory'winclow upon a stone pavement nnd wns picked Up unhurt. It was a colored baby, mid struck on its skull. If it lives long enough ty may do well in a regatta or a scull racoon the Ohio. When dentists in Mississippi ad vertiso but little nnd complain of a want of busi ness the editors out there call them “tooth enrponters.” This Is plane talk,* and it would be well for tho afflicted to send in their adze without delay. Tlio I’aclIlc^Unllroml—UuripuR nights— Tho Wild mid tho'Civilised—Deserted Towns. Frbmtho Sicrrps to tho Lnrnmio plains, there is literally tno.Jgnmo to be seen— neither bird nor quadruped-. On the lat ter, however, there nre plenty of Imres and herds of antelopes. They appear to have lost any alarm they may have felt nt tho novel sight of a locomotive, mid now stand gazing almost within shot of tho passing trains. . • . One of the extraordinary sights on the Union and Pacific is the (foRerted towns. Little cities, \ylth regular streets and cross streets' nnd lines of well-built adobe hous es, luive sprung up at various stations, once considered to be important places.— Somo. of tlie stores ana dwellings lmvo been nieelv designed mid finished in tlie style of adobe work. As the railroad left them behind, tnkingnwny their customers, the construction party, these people lmd to follow, and stripping off the shingled roofs, doors, windows and tVmncs, follow ed them to build anew at other camps.— Jlrynn is one of theso deserted towns.— Another, and still larger, is Green River. ricin b full. skull, Thnt’n So. At a recent meeting of women in Bos ton the following pointed resolution was adopted: “Resolved. That the white, women and girls who to-day give a long nml hard day’s work for twenty-five cents in’euiTcncy are quite, as much the object of christinu mid benevolent sympathy ns were the negro slave women of the Southern vice fields.” That’s true, Rays the Nashville.Union and American, but the difflculty.is in get ting the modern philanthropists to sec the wrongs of white women. Black eases nre readily seen. There were in the State of Jdnssnehusetts, in 180.7,03,011 more women than men—the ungnllant Yankees having run away "West, nnd left their mates be hind them. Now, to add injury to injury, tlio Senate of the State, that embraces ev ery'negro ns a voter, declines tq give “equality” to those deserted mothers, wives, and daughters. Tlio IUinoln Hiislmml Hlioolltiff Ciwc. The Rockford (Illinois) Itegister, refer ring to Mrs. Dixon, who shot lier husband dead in that city a few days ago, says that at tho time she fired tlio fatal shot she was sitting behind him, and so near that tho muzzle of the pistol almost touched his back. After she fired, and the pistol was wrenched from lies by her victim, slio fell unconscious, and has remained in that condition during most of the timo that has elapsed. In her intervals of consciousness she seems to have no recollection of wlmt has happened, but appears to bo looking forward with dread to tho interview with her husband. She calls for her babe fre quently, even while it is laying on her arms, and seems to fear some ono is com ing to take it from her. Tho (lay she com mitted the deed was tho first she hud risen from her bed since her confinement. Ilntdi ‘cm out or l)lo. A fellow in New Orlenns, affected with mania a potu, conceived the idea that ho wns a goose, and procuring straw for a nest and brick-bats for eggs, pretended to “set” on the latter, liis mother interfered. “Why don’t you let mo alone? Don’t you see I am sotting?” “But, Olivor, you nro not a goosol” tho mother replied. “I ain’t?” “No, you are mv poor, dear son!” 44 1 know Letter 1” “Why yes you are.— Those are not eggs—they aro brick-bats!” “Don’t I know?

They aro not billy fed eral office-holders, but 1mvo got possession of a largo number of the civil offices of tlio city, nud by tlio recent action of tlio City Council nro granted entre upto^terms of perfect oqunUty with the whitb people into theatres and public places of nmusemfcnt, with heavy penalties to tho proprietors and controllers of such establishments for any abridgement of their privileges. A late Washington letter gives the following sketch of scenes In Washington On pleasant Saturday afternoons, dur ing the summor, open air concerts arc giv en tho Marino bauds in tho grounds south of the Executivo Mansion, com- mcncing nt five d’eloek. On these occa sions the colored ladies and gentlemen of Washington nre in their glory. The mu sic is really fine, and tho sable nnd saddle- hued citizens show their appreciation of it by monopolizing nil the available situa tions in the vicinity of the band. It may well he imagined that the prevailing odors borne upon tho breeze are not at all liko those wafted from “Araby the blest;” while, should n Indy who happened unfor tunately to bo born white venture upon the grounds, slio is exposed to tho admir ing glances of the colored gentry'who ob struct the paths, and generally! make it evident that they are the masters of the situation. In ante belhim duys Now Orleans was nptly termed the negroes paradise.’ Wash ington is now their Mecca, and Federal offices thoir ambition. Nor are they dis appointed. There aro numbers of negro men and women now’ employed in the Treasury Department, where they are on a perfect equality with tho white clerks.— It is remarked that-tlm latter, and espe cially tho fcriinles, carry large bouquets in their hands as they emerge from the Trc?is- ury building on their way home. These bouquets they keep upon their desks dur ing the day, for the purpose, it is said, of overpowering tho African odrtr which so generally prevails. Tho ninouut for pormlnory, cologne water mid essences used for the same purpose, is also said to bo enormous: one druggist having recerit- ly retired with iv large fortune realized solely from the sale of these articles.— Thus it will bo seen that- tho dark cloud which rests upon the Treasury building ims a greenback lining, and that the De partment is aj place or scents ns well as dollars. . Collection of tlio Direct Tax to bo Itc- nu mod. It is reported that the authorities nt tlio Treasury Department seriously contem plate resuming collection of so much of tho direct tax’nf twenty millions levied hy tho law of 1801 ns remains yet duo and un collected. This movement, says tlie Bos ton Post, is designed to produco that em barrassment and discontent at tlie South liccessnry to curpct-bng purposes. T6 keep up agitation at the South Is tho meth od adopted hy lladicnls to accomplish their political ends; hy Impressing upon the North the belief that anarchy is chronic in the late Confederate Stales—that Ku Klux infest ovory road, and to he “ trooly loil” is sure death, they gain support In tins section, nnd, liko wreckers, profit by the storm tha t spreads devastation around them. Tll.n ana Now. The New Orleans Times, Riiysjtho At lanta Intelligencer, cputnlns nu interest ing nccmml of tlio first appearanco of Mrs. Games before tho Court pi’csldcd'ovor by Judgo Buchanan, ncnrly thirty yenrs ;o, to assert her clalmTo'thoTnrgo prop erly which, hy a recent decision of tho Supremo Court of tho United States, lmd bociiftwlirdoil toiler, On that occasion, she was accompanied by lier huBhiind, tho late Gen. K. P. Gaines. In tho courso of tho proceedings hefure tho Court, Mrs. Gaines charged the Judgo with having an interest against her. Judge Buchanan, (wo quote from ho Times,) “retorted with temper, nnd notlfied.Gcn. Gaiiios that ho wns expected to control Ills wife in Court, where no persons were privileged. Where upon tho stately old General nroso to. his ftill nltltudo of six foot three, and nssmn- IbgJtliO position of n commander of gronn- dlcrs, and gracefully touching the belt of tils sword, responded! “ ‘Stay It plcnso yonr honor, for any thing that Indy may say or do, 1 hold my self personally responsible, in every man ner nnd form known to tho laws of my country or tho laws of honor,’ “This reply nnd the accompanying no tion nnd tho nppcnrnnco of the General In Ills military garb, aroused to> still higher pitch tho Irish fire of tlio Judge, who quickly nnswored:. “ ‘General Gaines, this court will not bo overawed by tho military authorities.’ “ ‘Best assured, your honor, that When an attempt of tjpit soi-t is tnndc, tlio sword which I wear In conformity to tho regula tions of the service, and out of respect to tills honorable court, will bo qi ’ ’' A I»rnycrlc.a 1'allirr. ‘Thera wns one little circumstance,’ said a gentleman in relating his religious feel ings, on liis admission. to a Christian church, ‘that more deeply impressed mo with the.importance of being a Christian than any other.
