Worthy ok Imitation.—Charles Dick ens relates this incident of Douglas Jer- rold. Life is indeed too short for strife, and it would not be a bad idea for us to ponder well upon, and imitate in every day life as far as possible, the noble im pulse of that generous man Jerrold, whose name will live as long as a remnant of Brit ish literature lasts. Thus runs the story: ‘Of his generosity I had a proof with in these two or three years, which it sad dens me to think of now. There had been estrangement between us—not on any per sonal subject, and not involving angry words—and a good many months had pass ed without my ever seeing him in the streets, when it fell out that we dined, each with his own separate party in the Stranger’6 Room of the Club. Our chairs were almost back to hack, and I took mine alter he was seated and at dinner (I am sorry to remember,) and did not look that way. Before we had sat long, he openly wheeled his chair around, stretched out both hands, and 6aid aloud, with a bright and loving face thnt I can see as I write to you: ‘Let us be friends again. A life is not long enough for this.’ ” Jerrold was not a Christian, but his con duct in this case was worthy of a Christian character. On a dying bed how insignifi cant will appear many things for which we contend in bitterness and wrath ! Life is too short, its inevitable sorrows so many, its responsibilities so vast and solemn, that there is indeed, no time to spare in abusing and maligning one another. Let not the sun go down on your wrath. A Heart-Rending Episode.—The London Morning Heiald’s military corres pondent gives the following story: “A far mer, living in a hamlet near Possnitz, had wife and two children, and such was the woman’s terror of the Prussians, when she heard they were coming, that her husband to satisfy her, placed her in an under ground cellar, with her two little ones, and built up the doorway,leaving some food in side. The Prussians entered the place, and, among others obliged this poor man to ac company them,with his horse and cart, for day’s journey’, as ihey said. But the man was brought on from place to place, and at last, when he was suffered to return and reached his own house several days had lapsed. On the way back he began to cal culate how little food had been left with his wife and children, and horror-stricken at the dreadful thought that their cries fit not be heard, his hair is said to have turned white on his homeward journey. Ilis fears were but too real, lie tore down the masonry, searched for those so dear to him, but ouly found three lifeless bodies, half devoured by rats. Reason left him at the dreadful sight, and lie is now in hos pital, a lunatic.” A number of Louisiana planters who went out to Brazil, with the view of com mencing the raising of cotton in that coun try,have written home that they have been disappointed in their expectations, and will return in a short time. There are one hundred and fifteen post- offices now opened in South Carolina, thir ty-one of which are in the hands of post mistresses—something over one fourth. The Vicksburg Times is tired of things about town, and thus expresses a desire to go somewhere: “ Oh that we could hire a horse on a credit, aud go far away to some lonesome spot where policemen are not standing around, and get on our all-fours and paw up dirt and holler. While we cherish its glorious memo ries, and that of our martyred dead, we pause here and there to drop a tear over their conseciated ashes, but remember there is still work for the living, and set ourselves about the j and which is a deplorable catastrophe work of re-establishing society and re- j to them, more than to us. building our ruined boines. Others, And now, gentlemen, let us lift up unwilling to submit to this condition our heads, and press forward in the of things, may seek their bonus discharge of our duties. If there is abroad ; you and I are bound to this ! that buried in the past, for which it soil for life, for better or for worse, ] would have been glorious to have and it must at last cover our remains. What, then, is our duty ? To pine at ; our lot? To sit down, night and day, cursing and gnawing our chains?— I That is not the part of manliness, but I to rise up and go forward performing | our high mission as men. “He that does the best his circumstances allow does well—acts nobly—angels could do no more.” Is it not enough that the blood of the best and bravest has been shed in every valley throughout the land ? Is it not enough that the bones of our fathers and brothers and sons lie whitening on every hill-top ? Is it not enough that the voice of la mentation has been beard at every fireside? Is it not enough that the wailings of the widow and the orphan still sound in our ears? Have we not suffered enough? Have we not done all that wasin the power of human na ture? In our own bosoms let us wear this consciousness with the facts be fore us, as they are. The uegro has been made free. It was no act of his. He did not seek freedom, and nomi nally free as he is, he is helpless be yond expression—helpless by his want of habits of self-reliance—helpless by his want of experience; and doubly helpless by his want of comprehen sion to understand and appreciate his condition. From the very nature of the surroundings, so far as promoting his welfare and adapting him to his new relation to society are concerned, all agencies from abroad must prove inadequate. They may restrain in in dividual instances, but we are the only people in the world who understand his character, and hence the only peo ple in the world capable of manag ing him died, there is still enough left for which we may dare to live. When the ghost of our ruined fortunes rises up before us, let us lay our hands upon our hearts aud say: “Thou can.t not say I did it; never shake Thy goiy locks at me.” And we need have no self-reproaches But our duty to ourselves and our country is none the less. The foolish man who had his talent in a napkin was none the less to blame because he had but one. Let us each in our sphere, you in yours, and I in mine, do our duty—now in a patient and faithful observance and enforcement of the law. May God help us ! The New York Independent.—We copy from the New York Herald — Premising that Mr. Tilton is the editor of the Independent, the Herald says: The Rev. Twaddling Tilton is a young man who lives by his notoriety and gains his notoriety by his extrav agance. His aim in life is to make a sensation, and he has not enough sense to care so the sensation is made. He began his public career by letting his hair grow until it was as long as the tail of Barnum’8 wooly horse. As this long hair attracted considerable attention, especially among the bar bers, the Rev. Toddling Tilton imag ined that it exalted him above his fel low-men, forgetting that any woman could excel him in his capillary dis play. Then he set himself up as a second Henry Ward Beecher, and tried hard to imitate this divine in his speeches and writings, but lacked the brains to succeed. Through Mr. Beecher’s patronage he was introduced To remedy the evils growing out of! into colored society, and soon eclipsed his great original in the violence the abolition of slavery, it seems two things are necessary. First, a recog nition of the freedom of the race as a fact, and the willing enforcement of them. Secondly, by treating them with perfect fairness and justice iu our contracts, and in every way in which we may be brought in contact with them. By the first we convince the world of our good faith, and get rid of this system of espionage, by removing the pretext of its necessity; and by the second we secure the services of the negroes, learn them their places and how to keep them, and convince them, at last, that we are indeed their best friends. When we do this, let us hope that society will revive from its present shock, and our land be crown ed with abundant harvests. We need the labor of the negroes all over the country, and it is worth the effort to secure it. If it would not be extend ing this charge beyond what I con ceive to be a proper limit of time for its delivery, I might enlarge upon this subject by showing the depressing ef fect upon the countiy which would be produced by the sudden removal of so much of its productive labor. Its first effect would be the decreasing value of his views. By and by, presuming up on his popularity with the more igno rant blacks, he undertook to instruct Mr. Beecher as to his duty; but he re ceived a public quietus in the lecture room at Plymouth Church, and sub sided for a considerable period. Mr. Beecher’s withdrawal from the Inde pendent opened the way for the Rev Rattling Tilton to secure the editor ship, and since then he has been fool ing more outrageously than ever. He was as full of fight during the war as an egg is full of meat until he was draft ed, aud then he decided to stay at borne and wear “the white feather.”— Now that the war is over he thirsts for slaughter again and is ready to shed any amount of people’s blood to anni hilate the South. He is the person who walked arm-in-arm with Fred. Douglass at the Philadelphia black and white Convention, thus getting his name in all the papers. Fred Douglass rewarded him by declaring that he was the finest young fellow that had lived since Jesus Christ, which is precisely the sort of compli ment that the Rev. Twiddling Tilton is silly enough to accept. Hon. Albert Pike, of Arkansas, has written a most frank and manly letter to the President, asking for a pardon under the $20,000 clause. The fol lowing extracts are admirable, and contain wholesome advice and admon ition to all in power and authority : As I am unable to prefer any other special claim to clemency, the Presi dent’s generosity may permit me re spectfully to remind him, not in be half of myself alone, that it was the general amnesty proposed by the Tri bune Plotius. in favor of all who had part in the civil wars, after the death of Scylla, that did most to cicatrize the wounds of Rome; and that the Emperor Napoleon speaks in terms of commendation of “those practices of civilized nations, which teach them to honor their adversaries, to spare the conquered, and not to permit anger to survive the strife;” and also to re peat these prophetic words of Cmsar, that “we forget the faults of the great est criminals, to remember only their punishment, if it has been too se vere.” The late war was more owing to the dead of the past, who are honored, than to the living of the present, who are execrated; more to Jefferson and Madison than to Davis and Hunter;— more to the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions than to the arguments of 1860. “Civil commotions have long roots in the past,” and their true au thors have often been long beyond the reach of human vengeance, while those whom hatred seeks to immolate have been but the bondmen of necessi ty, the blind instruments of Fate.— Why should the scaffold crave the blood of the living, who only obeyed the dead ? I respectfully submit that it is not just to regard as rebellion and treason what had been claimed by States and parties for seventy years as the law ful exercise of a political right by a State; and that it would be a grave mistake'to make even one name and memory a watchword and beacon for all coming time. It would he to cre ate that ‘impassable barrier, which al ways separates, after blood is so shed, the children of the same country.’ If convicted and sentenced, none now accused will feel, nor will the people of the South believe, that they have been guilty of treason. Neither defeat or condemnation changes con victions. They will not seem to have been criminals, but only to have aton ed with their lives for the sin of fail ure in the assertion of rights claimed, even if unreal, by many States, and by a great political party, since the begin ning of the Government. • “Useless violences always lead to fatal reaction.” Blood shed after vic tory and in the hour of triumph will not make the victory more illustrious or complete, nor serve to cement the Union. It is not wise to punish a conquered people with martyrs, more potent dead than when alive. Living we shall have no influence; so dying, we should become immortal and om nipotent, eternal inciters of future in surrections, apostles of a faith whose vitality can only thus be preserved.— The President has it in his power to immortalize himself, and secure to the country permanent peace, by mercy ; and those who urge him to use the 8 word of justice are his worst enemies, and will, if he does so hereafter, be the first to condemn the severities they now advise. It is not by the proscrip tions of Scylla that the wounds caused by civil war are to be healed. I cannot believe that any humilia tion or entreaty would so assure the ^resident of my future loyalty as a manly but, respectful frankness. It seems to me that so only I can show \ myself worthy of his Chances of Life.—An old document contains some interesting information unknown to many, and rarely encoun tered in Uie papers. Among other things, it contains a iable exhibiting an average age attained by persons employed in the various popular pro fessions of the day. In this particular, as in most others, the farmers have the advantage over the rest of mankind, as their average age is sixty-five. Next upon docket comes the judges and justices of the peace, the dignity of whose Jives is lengthened out to sixty- four. Following then, immediately in the category of longevity, is the hank officer who sums up his account atthe age of sixty-three. Public offi cers cling to their existence with as much pertinacity as they retain their offices—they never resign the offices but life forsakes them at fifty six.— Coopers, although they seem to stave through life, hang on until they are fifty-eight. The good works of the clergymen follow them at fifty-five.— Shipwrights, hatters, lawyers and rope makers (some very appropriate ly) go together at the age of fifty-four. The “Village Blacksmith,” like most of his cotemporaries, dies at fifty-one. Butchers follow their bloody career for precisely half a century. Carpen ters are brought to the* scaffold at forty-nine. Masons realize their cry of “Mori!” atthe age of forty-seven. Traders cease their speculation at for ty-six. Jewelers are disgusted with the tinsel of life at forty-four. Ba kers, manufacturers, and various me chanics die at forty three. The paint ers yield to their colic at forty-two.— The brittle thread of the tailor’s life is broken at forty-one. Editors, like all other beings who come under the spe cial admiration of the gods, die com paratively young—they accomplish their errand of mercy at forty. The musician redeems his last note and plays his dying fall at thirty-nine.— The professional dancer shuffles off his mortal coil at thirty-nine. Printers become dead matter at thirty-eight.— The machinist is usually blown up at thirty-six. The teachers usually dis miss their scholars at the age of thiity- tour; and the clerk is even shorter lived, for he must needs prepare his balance sheet at thirty-three. No ac count is given of the average longevity of wealthy uncles. The inference is fair, therefore, that they are immortal. —Albion, Keeping Street Potatoes. Tlflitois Southern Cultivator:—We are suffering drought, (and no appearance of rain now,) to such an extent, that few persons can make enough to do them longer than Christmas—many not so long — I mean with cotton to help out; for it is almost a failure. I believe I promised to give you my plan of keeping potatoes, which is the cheapest, I think, and certainly the safest I've ever seen tried. I bnild a pen of logs, any desired length, and five feet wide, (this lessens the risk from bulking,) four to six feet high ; hew it down evenly on the inside, so that the walls may be ceiled or daubed smoothly ; cover the w r hole with a good roof; and have a small door in the end. When this is done, raise the bottom with stones five or six inches high ; cover these with dry sand, to keep them from cutting the potatoes, w hich may now be put in, beginning iu the middle. Three or four inches of dry sand must be placed be tween them and the wall. I sometimes have a plank for this purpose, raising it up as the potatoes are put in, keeping the space between the plank and wall well filled in with the sand, which will run down through the potatoes as the plank is raised. Let them remain so until freez ing weather, when you can readily cover entirely with the dry sand, deep enough to keep them from being chilled. Some attention may be necessary for awhile, as the sand will continue to disperse itself among them, and leave the top raked. cause worthy to live. clemency, be-j TJiero should be no leaks in tlie roof. There is but little waste in the sand when tut. , once procured. Like the house, it i« Miss Wilkins was a beautiful blonde, a i ways ready , and at tLe t .

A number of girls are also employed on tbe Montgom ery Advertiser. A baby was left on an editor’s door step in Cleveland, with a note requesting that it be taught to be an editor.
