The States that have been ruined by the sword are without number. W hat magnificent conception bad Washing ton of the true meaning and force of a Republican State when, at the close ol the Revolutionary struggle lie laid his pwrrd at the feet of Congress and yielded up the power it conferred. That one act more clearly than any other gave the country an insight into Washington’s true character. He was the savior of the country, and his grateful countrymen wouid at his ask ing, have given him the imperial pur pie. He said no, “ take away the sword,” for remember that “ peace hath, hor victories more renowned than war” He retired to Mount Vernon, anxious that the country should lean on the civil arm alone. Our main trouble in this country lies in the fact that ye, have had too much sword, and it is now time to “ take away ” this instru ment of evil. When our late unfor tunate civil war closed, everybody, friend and foe, looked for lasting genu ine peace, and greater harmony than we had known for yeafs. The slavery question, that apple of discord that had given unrest to the country for years, had been settled on the field gf battle. POET’S CONER. V TOICHIKII EM.

The Uni n Elite and Confederate Gray were only too anxious to embrace once more as brothers, across the bloody chasm, but politicians stepped between and prevented. They declared the war not to be over. From that time to this the action of Congress has been based upon a state of war. Her legislation has bristled wjth thg sword and the bayonet. The South has been contin uous y treated as an alien enemy, pos sessing no rights that the victor is bound to respect. The surrender at Appomattox was tendered under [i;]3c pretense and the Government has been acting under it ever since. The South were then and there promised peace if they would lay down their arms, but the promise has beeu cruelly broken. From the Potomac to the Rio Grande del Norte, nowhere has the administra tion held up the olive branch. While the people have begged for bread their rulers have given them a stone. Tliey have often petitioned for peace, but in return have received only the sword It is now time to “take away the -word.” Let the administration in augurate a policy of genuine peace toward the South. Ilow the people long for it, and how happy they will be to welcome it back. Government should treat them no longer as ene mies, but as friends; deal with them as political equals instead of inferiors. Restore to-them ail their lost rights, particularly that of self-government. A moderate degree of generosity and justice at Washington will “fire the Southern heart” with the noblest im pulses that ever beat in the breast of man or woman. If there is any lack of pe ce at the South to-day, it is not the -lult of the South, but the fault of those unjust rulers who will not “ take ■ way thes.Tord.”—rDovlesfo" fPenn t MO* IIISSC EVE. BIOGRAPHY OF AN EMINENT WOMAN BY ONE WHO KNEW HER WELL. In writing biographies of eminent women, it is fit that we begin with mother Eve herself. Eve belong ed to one of our first families; in fact, the very first. She was re lated to the first man on the Adam side, although she had a deep cause to regret that she ever left Adam’s >idc. Philosophers who have prob ed deep into the subject, connect Eve's early career as a rib with the female fondness for a ribbon. Eve became Mrs. Adam, and they lived very happily together for a time. There was no other woman for her to be jealous of. and her husband wasn't pestered with dress-maker’s bills. She .vasn’t tortured by dis covering love letters from unknown females in Adam's coat-tail pock, ets, and Adam never blew her up because buttons weren’t sewed on. Eve never saw a fashior.-book or a fashion-plate; never wore high heeled boots (she made a slip, but she couldn’t make a slipper,) or shoes: and if there had been lots of newspapers printed, she wouldn’t have known how to make back numbers available. It never oc curred to her to go into the lecture field, and as for voting, she didn’t know what that meant. If they were going out to an evening par ty, she didn’t keep Adam waiting for he? to dress until he was ready to Adam everything, and ho was never known to come home with another’s hat or overcoat on. How Eve could have lived with out some other women to gossip with, it is hard to understand at this day, byt she did Adam is supposed to have been kept in a glow of continual happiness by the reflection that he hadn’t any moth er-in-law hanging around, and couldn’t have, Oh, but those were delightful days when our,£rst parents in their innooenco and simplicity, wander ed about Eden Park, hand in hand discussing the improvements that might be made. There is little record as to how Mother Eve employed herself when not wandering in Eden. There was no Sewing Soeioty for her to be president of; there were no clothes to be made up for the little heathen, as there were very little heathen until the settlement ol New Yorjc city. She couldn't play the piano, because she had none Had she possessed one of those boons she would probably have driven her husnand out of paradise without the intervention of the ser pent. She could not paint or draw. There wasn’t a drawer on earth at that time, to say nothingmf a pair! of 'em. She could not embioider, her worsted work was a success ; she worsted the whole human race. She couldn’t rcceiye calls, except when Adam called her ; and she got no invitations out to tea. She was totally ignorant of the delights of shopping, and never attended a matinee in all her life. When she went out to promenade she never looked around to see what other women hail on. Everything seemed to go well with Eve until fruit season set in, and then—well every child knows the story. She wa3 tempted into an apple tree to pluck some fruit that wasn’t quite ripe and fell Adam fell, too that is he fell to ind helped her to eat it, although with a meanness somewhat charac-t teristic of his sex, he endeavore 1 to throw all the blame on the woman detected. Too tazy to shake the tree himself, he was ready enough to panake of the fruit when bro’t to his hand. - < Eve were obliged to take their res pective leaves of Eden. They were fig leaves. Eve had suddenly be come possessed with a love of dress anil from that early period until the present that love has gradually increased among the sex, until now it amounts to a veritable passion with some o.f them. Eve founded a very extensive family. Besides the Massachusetts Adams, the en ure human race might trace back to Mr. and Mrs. Adams, if their trace is long onough. We don't learn that Eve cut up very retch after the affair in the garden. If she “raised Fain,’’ it was because Cain was tough and hearty. If he hau been a sickly child, perhaps' she wouldn't have been able to raise him. It is recorded that Adam reach ed the old age of nine hundred ami. thirty years before he died, but no mention is made of Eve’s ago when she passed away. The well known antipathy to telling -her age which characterizes women in all ages and under every clime may perhaps ac count for this. [Boston Paper. A Philosopher says: “I think the most miserable w-reteh is one who has to act as though he wan rich when he is a bankrupt, one who dares not live on any but the most fashionable street and to keep less than six servants, and does not dare to have his wife dress econom ically, dares not have them to go to Church in any but a very ex pensive carriage, drawn by at least two horses, lest his creditors abould notice it and su-pect his condition and come down upon him. I pity men who arc irked inside and out by pride and financial troubles.— The world, not knowing tbe.r true condition, judges them harshly, calls them snobs, shoddyites, e,tc. They need Christian sympathy and should be tried tenderly, they are weak brethren, terribly pressed. By and by, God or the sheriff' will give them bankruptcy, when they will feel better. Tbero is a man who, when he struck the bottom, thanked God for a resting place, though he cried all the way down. —m ■ —i To curb a young man -bridal him. Sto liTm id. 83 OO ii Year in Ailvnnee.
