We live in Deeds.—A pleasant, cheerful,
generous, charitable woman is never old.
Her heart is as young nt sixteen or seventy
as it wns nt eighteen or twenty; and they
who are old at sixty or seventy arc not made
old by time. They are made old by the
ravages of passion, and feelings of an unso
cial and ungenerous nature, which have can
kered thoir minds, wrinkled their spirits and
withered their souls. They are made old by
envy, jealousy, by hatred, by uncharitable
feelings, by slnndering, scandalizing, ill bred
habits, which if they avoid, they preserve
their youth to tho very last, so that the child
shall die as the Scripture snys, a hundred
years old. Thero arc mnny old women who
pride thomsclve* on being eighteen or twen
ty. Pride is an old passion, and vanity as
jrave as the mountain; they are dry, heart
less, dull, cold, indifferent; they want the
well springof youthful affection, which is al
ways cheerful, always active, always engaged
in some labor of love that is calculated to
promote ami distribute enjoyment. There is
an old age of tho heart that is possessed by
many who havo no suspicion that there is
anything old about them, and there is a youth
which never grows old, a lover who is ever a
boy, a Psyche wno is ever a girl.
Giants and Dwaufs.—Tho belief of the
existence of races, of giants is supported by
the Bible. There arc, sometimes, men 7 or 8
feet high; and, among savogo tribes, such
men become chiefs. However, all buildings,
doorways, passages, &c., indicate that 5 feet
S inches, or 5 feet 9 inches have always been
the average height of tlic human race. Gen
esis tells of the “Sons of God,” who were
giants ; of the men of Anack, to whom the
Jews were as grasshoppers; and the Bible
tells us of Og, King at Busliaii, who was 13
and a half feet high, and Goliah 11 feet.
There appears to have been races 8 or 10 feet
high, who beenmo ogres, or champions ; and
history tells us of such a race in and near Lc-
bannon, some of whom wero employed in an
cient armies, while others emigrated to Ire
land and Cornwall, among Phoenician colo
nists. Races of dwarfs arc found in tho Es
quimaux and Boscmcn, who attain but 4 feet
(i inches high, and tho Mongal Tarters and
Kamtshndales but 4 feet 9 inches. The Caribs
arc 5 feet 11 inches, the Navigators Islanders
5 feet 6 inches, and the Patagonians 0 feet 7
inches and upwards.
Fatal Accident.—The Memphis Appeal
learns of a sad accident that occured near
Panola, 3(iss., lately, rcsultingin the death of
John H. Echols, lately a lieutenant colonel in
the Confederate army) and an esteemed citi
zen. It appears that on Saturday evening
CoL E. took liis gun and' went out to shoot
some birds, and failing to return that night,
search was made for him on tho following
morning, and his body wns found lying near
a rail pile, nearly one-half of liis head having
been shot away. One barrel ol his gun had
been discharged, and the other was still load
ed and cocked. It is thought the breech of
the gun had bean struck against the rails and
caused the sad disaster.

TWELVE KISSES.
BT MRS. vr. U. lHLBCRX.
“Twelve kisses, mama, twelve kisses,
For every hour of the night!
For I shall not see you again
Till tho sun is shining bright.
I want to say my prayers
And we’ll have a little talk.
And then go down, dear mother,
And take a pleasant walk,’’
And the little maiden prayed.
Then went to her snowy bed ;
“Now give me. dear mother, the prayer book,
Fora hymn,” she sweetly said,
Mama went down and left her,
And later in tho night
When she came to her owl slumber,
Twas a picture fair and bright!
On her snow-white pillow lying
Was the lovely angel child,
The scarlet robe contrasting
With her face so pale and mild.
And her hands held open the prayer-book,
And her eyes were closed in sleep,
0 God, this flower wns only lent—
It was too raie to keep.

A COMPARISON.
A New Orleans correspondent of the N
tional Intelligencer reproduces a manifesto
addressed by the French Emperor to the na
tive population of Algeria, that contrasts
most favorably with the devilish programme
of desolation, now advocated and in part
adopted by the ascendant party in the Na
tional Legislature. Vie think our readers
will be impressed by the following extract
from the letter : .
Let us contrast tor a moment the doniand
of those who condemn President Johnson
with the policy pursued by Louis Napoleon
toward—the Arabs. There will be seen in
bis proclamation a certain resemblance to
the conquest over the South according to the
belief of those who counsel confiscation and
the halter. “When France set foot, twenty-
four years since, upon the soil of Africa, she
did not come to destroy the nationality of
people, but to set them free from a secular
slavery. She has replaced the Turkish sway
by a government more just, more indulgent,
more enlightened. Nevertheless, during the
first years, impatient of foreign rule, you
have made war upon your liberators.
“Far from regarding this as a crime, on
the contrary, I honor the spirit of warlike
dignity which you have demonstrated in in
voking, before your submission, tho will of
God. Recognize, therefore, tho decree of
Providence, which in its mysterious designs
often conducts us to good by thwarting our
hopes and defeating our efforts.
“Y iu know my intentions. I have assured
you irrevocable titles to your lands; I have
honored your chiefs, respected your religion:
I wish to augment your welfare—make you
participate more and more in the administra
tion of your own affairs, as also in the bles
sings of civilization. But it must be on con
dition that you respect tlioso who represent
my authority.. Assure your deluded breth
ren that future inserrcction would be fatal tc
them. Two millions of Arabs cannot resist
forty millions of French. For one to strive
with twenty is madness. You have already
taken an oath of allegiance; your conscience
and your religion alike bind you to keep it.
|“You comprehend that, being your sover
eign, I am your protector. All who live un
der the laws have an equal right to my solici
tude. During ten years you hare shared the
jlory of our arms, and your sons have com
batted worthily along-side of ours, in the
Crimea, Italy, China, and Mexico. The ties
formed upon the field of battle are indisso
luble, and you have learned how to value us
both as friends and enemies.”
To his army of Africa he says: “Never in
your ranks has anger survived the battle.—
Among you there has been no hatred against
a conquered enemy, no desire to enrich your
selves with his spoils. You have been the
first to stretch towards the erring Arabs a
friendly hand and to wish that they should
be treated with justice and generosity, as at
last making a part of the great French fami
ly-
Such are the terms upon which a monarch
treats an almost savage people, conquered in
a foreign country. Shall republicans who
have overthrown the political and social in
stitutions of their fellow-cittzens go back to
barbarous ages and nations for an example of
cruel and prolonged oppression ?

would arrive at the custom house. The lady
fastened the timepiece securely to her hoops,
and started on her homeward journey. Ar
riving at the custom-house, the officer found
nothing contraband among her effects, and
was pa-ring to the next traveler, when a loud
“wli-r-r!” was heard under the lady’s skirts.
The strange noise was kept up for the full
space of a minute; but to the lady it seemed
an hour, aud she became tremulous and exci
ted. Tho custom-house officer, not daring
to lay hands on a woman “save in the way of
kindness,” procured t.n iron rod, with which
he felt around tho crinoline for the concealed
clock, and finally succeeded in bringing it
down.

CHAPTER OP CONTRADICTIONS.
From the Washington Spectator.
The wiso man tells us “there is nothing
new under the sun.” But if there is nothing
absolutely new, there are certainly some
things remarkably strange—things we sup
pose, which are to be seen only once in a life
time. Not a few examples of this sort are
now exhibited in the events of the day and
in the circumstances by which we are sur
rounded. Let us proceed to enumerate some
of them:
1. We have waged a sanguinary war fer
four years to keep the Southern States in the
Union ; and now that the war is over we pro
claim that they are ont ot the Union and look
about for modes of restoration an reconstruc
tion ! We have consequently sacrificed three
billions of dollars and half a million of hu
man beings for nought!
2. We proclaim that we have conquered
the South, but, alas, it seems the South has
conquered us. They have, at least, achieved
their purpose, while ours has failed and mis
carried !
3. We have proclaimed that the doctrine
of secession was false in theory and impossi
ble in practice. But wba't do wc be
hold? We see this very doctrine fulfilled
accomplished, demonstrated. It is no longer
an abstraction, a myth, but an accomplished
tact!”
4. We proclaim Tennessee out of the Union,
and that she has forfeited all right to repre
sentation in the councils of tho nation. Yet
we behold one of her citizens filling the Ex
ecutive chair and wielding the sceptre of
authority over the entire country!
5. Wc deny the Representative of Tennes
see a seat in the Senate. But we behold the
same individual domicillcd in the White
Honse, and his wife doing the honors of re
ception to the nation’s guests!
6. We profess to love the Union, and pride
ourselves,upon the sacrifices we have made
in its behalf, and yet we throw every ob
stacle in the way of its complete restoration
and permanent establishment!
7. Wc proclaim eleven States out of the
Union; and yet when we would amend the
Constitution wo call upon these very States
to say yea or nay, and we count their votes
as if they were integral parts and co-equal
members of the Confederacy!
8. We proclaim the doctrine that taxation
without representation is tyranny and des
potism, even justifying revolutionary resis
tance ; and yet wc practice the very tyranny
thus repudiated by imposing taxes upon tlie
people of this District!
9. We profess to beliove that the majority
rule, and that the will of the people should
rule, and that the people is tlie supremo law;
yet we contradict that belief by forcing ne
gro suffrage upon a people who have unani
mously voted against it!
10. We profess to be actuated by tlic great
principles of right and justice in legislating
day after day and week after week upon a
single topic, and yet continually do violence
to those principles upon almost every other
subject!
11. We denounce disunionists as rebels and
traitors; and yet we are guilty ourselves of
disunionism in rejecting all overtures for a
prompt and constitutional amendment.
12. We claim that the elective franchise is
ail essential right of manhood, black or white,
aud yet we deny that essential right to for
eigners for several years at least!
13. We proclaim that the privilege of vo
ting for those who make our laws is essential
to self-protection; and yet wc deny that
privilege to the citizens of this district and
to women throughout the entire country!
14. Wc refuse to concede the elective fran
chise to the negro in the States where it
would be a reality, and yet we grant it to him
in this district, where it is a farce and a
mockery!
These are a few of the inconsistencies and
contradictions of the day. Others could be
’Hded, but tbc list is long enough for one
.eading. Wc let it go as chapter the first.
