Sabbath Evening,
By Geo and. pbfktice.
‘Tis holy time. Tue evening shade
Steals with a soft control *
O’er Nature as a thought of Heaven
Steals oter the human soul •
And every ray from yonder line,
And every efrop of falling dew,
Seem to bring* down to human woes
r 90m Heaven h message of repose.
• ■ j..' ;sr . ,
O et' y«4 tail rock the solemn trees,
A hadowy group incline ; . •
Like gentle nu s. in s rrow bowed
A found their h« dy shrine ;
And o’er them now the night winds blow—
So calm and still, the music low •
Seems the mysterious voice of prayer,
Soft echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth,
Riseto a God belofled;
And o’er tho waters moved as vrst
The Holy Spirit moved;
The tonent’s voice, the waves low hymn,
Seem the far notes of seraphim;
And all earth’s thousand voices rabe,
'lheir song of worship, love and praise.

Bend low their lonely eyes,"
<lr gaze through trembling tears of dew
Up to the holy skies;
And thi' pure stars come out above,
Like sweet and blessed things of love,
Bright signals in the ethereal dome,
To guide the parted spirit home.
There is a spirit of blessedness,
In air and earth and Heaven,
And Nat up weaisthe blessed look „
Os a young saint forgiven;
Oh, who at ’such an hour of love,

And not kneel down upon the sod

About Women.
From the Sunday World’s columns de
voted especially to the doing and sayings
of ‘Heaven's last and best, etc.,’ we, with
most reverent fingers, scissor as follows :
A long-nosed, thin-.shanked old maid ap .
pea red at the door of a farmers house in
lo^a the other day, and wanted the farm
er’s wife to subscribe to some woman's
newspapers and sign a petition for woman
snffiage. The wife called out, ‘Charles.
Torn, Richard, Lucy, Jane !’ and was soon
suirounded by a crowd of rosy-cheeked
children. S-iic then* turned to her visitor
and said, ‘Have you any of these ?, *N<> !'
was the sharp reply. ‘Then/ replied the
buxom wife,‘go get a few, and afterwards
come to me about woman's rights if you
feel like it.*
A Chicago schoolmistress who has been
in the profession for ten years, says that
*ince the woman's rights question became
prominent she has discovered a great
change in the deportment of her school
gills. They now laugh at things that
formerly would have brought a deep blush
fro'their cheeks.
A young lady of Cleveland, Ohio, re
ceived a letter on the eve of her wedding,
saying that her lover had a wife and two
children in a neighboring town. The poor
girl read the letter through, turned her fact*
towards her mother, who Was in the room,
and exclaiming, 'Oh, imt !' dropped dead
-upon the floor.
The New Orleans Picayune of recent
date says that Mrs. Shaw a p pen re 1 before
the Recorder to prosecute her husband for
insult and abuse : ‘W hat have you to
complain of?' inquired the magistrate.
,My husband neglects roe, sir. He leaves
me al home, and when 1 complain of it he
insults and abuses nu*. ‘ ‘Can you give me
an instance of it ?’ ‘Yes. He went to tie
cock-fight on Sunday, and wouldn't let rn<‘
go with him, and said if they fought hens j
he would stud for me.' .
Women are rapidly marching to wind*
emancipation. A beautiful and 0.-It .-do
cated young lady has just opened a huge
boot and shoe store in Philadelphia, -*ffie
has three girl clerks, and they all weai
little fancy aprons made ->f b ather, -o as t*.
look business like, and, at the -nine nnu
pretty.
A Chicago woman, whose husband
promised to bring her leone anew bonnet
and didn't do it, took ins $lO silk lia> and
placing if Upon the fiv>o at her !<•. t, sr Up
on It— whirling he.self around mid the
ruin was complete. ‘1 in re, -aid sin, >•-
she arose to her feet, ‘it yon can't taise me
to your level in point of dress, 1 and p nt you
down to mine.'
The women opposed to allowing theii
sex to vote are organizing all over the
couutry, and intend to fight to the bitter
end for the old order of thiugs. A canvass
of one town in Maryland recently taken re
sulted in ten women votes in favor of the
suffrage to nearly two hundred against it.

Ihe Mo.-t Powerful Railroad Corporation
in the World. —The Baltiui.re Gazette of
Monday last, says :
Ihe great struggle for tho possessiop of
the New Jersey has, at
aied in favor of the Peunsylvaitia Central
Road, and the Board of Directbrs of the
Camden and An» boy Company halkjMeeided
b\ a vou* £.(sixtt-eg jfiVui^^HPPWi
property, for perpetuity, at a rental of ten
pet cent per annum, on the stock capitol
of theii eorpm ation. The agreement lias
yet to be ratified by the assent of two-thirds
of the stockholders, and a Committee has
been appointed for the purpose of procure
ing the necessary signatures, which they
will undoubtedly do. The Pennslyvania
Central thus obtains control of a consolida
ted line, not only from New York to Chica
g", but from the great metropolis of the
Pacific and becomes the most extensive,
and probably the most powerful railroad
corporation in the world.
Loud Brougham's Last Visit to the House
of Commons. Never but once did Lord
Brougham enter the House Commons after
he raised to the peerage. It was not many
years before he died. He went, leaning on
ihe arm of a friend a well known officer o 1
the House of Lords, whom the aged peer
had asked to escort him. There was a
curiosity in the old athlete to view the
arena whpre lie had so often struggled with
end thrown his adversaries Within the
door leading from the upper house Lord
Brougham gazed on the stirring scene for
a minute or two, and then tears welled up
to his eyes, and he murmured to his friend'
with'deep emotion, ‘Take me away ; take
me away. There is not a face here that I
can recognize.* And lie moved slowly along
the passage back to the House of Lords,
murmuring as he went, ‘Dead ! dead ! All
gone.' The great champion of that arena,
soon went the way that those who had
wrestled with him had already passed-
The promist of bis blight boyhood was
amply kept in his mature years, and the
memories of both will long be dear to all
who reverence worth above rank, and who
hold that the aristocracy of intellect is su
perior to any degree in the peerage—Tem
ple Bar.
Peace. —General John B. Gotdon, in his
Memphis lecture, gave utterance tu the
following .
He had nothing but words of praise and
veneration for the great and magnanimous
men who fought and subdued tin. l South. If
their voices wej'e as potential in peace as
their gleaming weapons had been in war a
blessed peace would have.settled upon and
unitecPthe people of this land. [Cheers.]
It is against Ihe crawling hypocrites who
sneaked at home,.who never felt a gener
ous impulse stir their breasts, who perpet
uate strite, that he raised his voice. He
uttured a very fine phillipic against that
wretched class ot scribblers and machine
authors, miserable compilers of other's
ideas who write book**, the only new thing
about which is the poison they inject into
them.
The Y ung Men VY t h<> ar*: in Danger.—
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmadge delivered au ad
dress at the meeting of the New York
Young Men’s Christian Association, in
Which he., in ihe following sentence, truly
depicted the class of young men who are in
danger in all large cities and who most
need the care and protection ol Young
Men’s Christian Associations and kindred
as-oeintions :
* | )it it is only one class ot young men
who me -at> without any effort onourpart.
They .»re the sour, sallow faced men. Satan
would not know what to do with them if lie
had 1 hem. He would be afraid of their
disputing his kingdom wilh him. It is the
go in* roiis young men, the large hearted,
-oUi.il voting men, who are in peril. It is
rin* young men who are starting in life
with a magnificent cargo of hopes, that we
want The yqung men whq are empty of
heart and life, need no Christian associa*
tton. They will never drink, unless some
bod, treats them. They will never gam
ble, save with some one else's money.
They are too mean to go to perdition, un
less somebody pays the way for them.’
The Courier-Journal is now investiga
ting he. Georgia diamond question. She
says :
‘Georgia is unquestionably a great State.
Even Georgians themselves have beeD
known to acknowledge the fact. She has
a right to boast of her resources aud the
euterprize '*f her citizens, and is justly
proud of her flourishing cities. But we
can't help thinking that she is coming it a
little too strongly in the diamond discover
j hen we were told that a citizen of
county bad, when a boy, a round peb*
ble f which he habitually used 'middle*
man' ill* playing marbles j that hia children
used it for the 6Htne purpose for years j
it was finally loet somewhere about
thv premises 5 and that it Was then, and
'wf rtfs'crArorerf'toluf a d?fkmor,J
worth two hundred thousand dollars, we
swallowed the story without a murmur,
but wher Georgia, taldng the advantag'-
of oar credulity, comes along with the de
claration that somebody down there has
found a diamond weighing thirty-five
pounds, we feel that we would much rather
they wouldn’t do it—that we would rflther
she would select a smaller stoue or tell the
story to somebody else.
Take Your County Paper,
( Well, Squire, you say you don't take
ynur county paper. «
No, Jftjor, I get the paper otl much
better terms, and so I take a couple of
tlfem.
But, Squire* these county papers are a
great convenience to us. The more we
encourage them, the bottei the fedltor can
make them.
I don'P know that they are of any con
venience to me.
The farm you sold last spring was ad
vertised in one of them, and you thereby
obtained a customer.
Very true, Major, but I paid three dollars
for it.
Now, if your neighbors had not main
tained that press, you would have been
without the means of publishing your
daughter’s marriage, and your brother’s
death, last summer.
Yes, yes, but
And your nephew was a candidate for
the legislature, you were highly gratified
at his newspaper defence, which elecled
him, aßd cost yon uothing,
Y-e»s, y-e-s, but these things are news
to the readeVs, aud make the people take
the papers.
No, no, Squire Gr’tidge, not if they were
all like you. I tell you, .Squire, the
day will come when somebody will write a
long eulogy on yonr life, character, etc.,
and the printer put it in type, with a heavy
black rule over and under it, and with till
y<>qr riches, this will bt? done for you as a
grave is given to the pauper. Yoqr wealth
—libelality, and all such, .will be spoken of
—but the printer as he spells the words in
arranging the type, will remark: poon
mean devil—he never took the paper, and
is now even swindling the printer out of
his obituary notice after he is dead.
Good morning, Squire.
The Disgrace of Paris.
The shame of France now approaches its
culmination. Insurgent Paris is again call*
ed upon to endure the bumilaiion of defeat.
Struck down by the conquering German,
she rose rampant, and more arrogant than
ever. Almost before the sounds of his foot*
steps bad died away, her blood stained hand
was taiaed against the government she
had created, and a grand carnival of blood
was at ouce inaugurated and continued
with fiendish enthusiasm. But the parrici*
dal attempt failed, as it deserved to fail
and Paris, gay Paris, beautiful Paris, crou
ches in shuddering shame beneath the iiplif
ted sword of that inexorable Justice, whose
majesty she insulted and whose commands
she disobeyed.
In this case retribution bas been swift
and it has been terrible. Paris, iu her
pride ol place, claimed the admiration and
homage of the world as au inalienable right.
She was the mistress of the nations; the
queen of the peoples, aud all the beauties
and glories of the universe were valuable
iu her eyes only because they glittered in
her stolen diadem, and added lustre to her
matchless charms, Her reigo has beeu
long, dazzling, despotic. She tiad princes,
pontiffs aud kings for her courties, and her
easy virtue captivated ail by its wild and
fascinating abandon. The priest, the poet
and the philosopher, all bowed befote this
modern Aspasia, and mingled their genius
in splendid alliance for the gratification of
their mistress.
Editing a Newspape.—We never could
see the virtue of the boast which is so of*
ten made by the papers and magazines,
that so large a portion of their pages is
original. Such origiuality is often main
tained at the expense of the worth. The
best exchanges ot our acquaintance are by
no means those which have the greatest
amount of original matter. There is more
of editorial tact and talent required to make
proper and practical selections then is put
in requisition by the production of tl>^
vaunting original pupura, who seem to
require originality as the only requisite
for a good periodicai. A good newspaper
is always dependent upon other resource*
than its own. And the boast of a periodi
cal that it is entirely original, is too often
like the boost of iibarary if it should claim
to have the production of only one another..

What .Her Secret Political Parties Have
Dune fob France —The condition of affairs
ill France goes on from bad to worse. L'ko
a lame war horse, goaded on by a madman,
that unhappy country plunges forward,
and it requires no great sagacity to forsee
a terrible tail at last. Her condition was
terrible enough when the war with Ger
many ended. The payment of her costs to
the victor were enough to appall herj but
since then the condition of affairs wasgrown
infinitely worse} So bad indeed, that tve
should not be surprised to see her suffer
further dismemberment of territory in pays
mentof Bismarck’s frightful bib. And all
this grows out of that famous secret society
which Mr. D’lsraoii mentions in Lotbuire
and which was to establish the Universal
Republic.'
If the mysterious movers in this fright*
ful business could be brought to light and
made to undergo the punishment wliich
should follow on their awful Unrope
might have peace for the depade, but
as long as men, at once so reckless and so
powerful, are at large to operate on the
minds of the dangerous olassea, the volca*
no may burst forth at any moment. With
this, however, we have nothing to do in
this country} bat we have secrect political
societies of oar own. The Loyal League;
for example, whioh stirred up the bitterness
and strife in North Carolina, and wrote its
history by the light of burning barns and
hay Stacks—the Lojal League, we say,
still exists; and as long as it does, backed
by powerful military organizations at the
Northj the peace and liberties of this couus
try are in danger.—Norfolk Virginian.
Boarding House Keepers from the South.
—.dinong other matters brought to the
knowledge of my friends during their pro
longed search for a moderately good board-,
ing house, is the fact that a large number
of Southern ladies have engaged in this
business in New York. It is a miserable
business for any one to take hold of, but
necessity, as we ail know, is a hard mas
ter. When the war closed thousands of
Southerners came North to make a living
and among them were many women who
had lost their husbands, and were obliged
to rely upon their own efforts for support.
A great many resorted to board ng house
keeping, and have managed in this way to
make both ends meet.. The houses kept by
Southern women have at least the reputa
tion of being better than others, and con
sequently they are more popular. A South
ern woman, whose house is well furnished
(in most cases tho houses are hired furn ; sh«
ed) can get higher prices for board than
any other women, with a house equally
Well furnished. The reasr nis that she is
supposed to be free from stinginess which
is the leading characteristic of the aver .ge
boarding house deity. I suspect, however
that some of the persons who advertise as
Southern widows, and the like are nothing
of the sort, but regular old stagers of
GotbarU who hope in this way to attract
boarders that would religiously shun them
if they stepped out in their own colots.—
Cor N. Y. Times.
Penny Postage between England and
America. —The London Daily Slews, corns
meriting upon the bill lately before Par
liament to establish a penny post between
Eug aqd and the United States, observes :
No doubt the reduction of the American
postage to a penny would have a wonder
ful effect in deuelopiug correspondence ;
but the change is so great that it will take
some time to effect, it and Mr. Mouse)
points out that our present contracts stand
till 1886; bnt Mr. Gladstone said it might
be considered whether the Postmaster Gen*
eral could make new contracts, with a view
to Ibis great reform. A peuny postage
between England and the United States
will some day be established, and will tend
more perhaps than any other possible
measure, to multiply those personal svm
pathies which, stretching across the sea,
bind the people, more firmly together than
laws 01 treaties.
Somebody advertises for agents to sell a
work entitled, ‘Hymenial Instructor. ’ A
onlemporary adds: 'The best hymenial
instructor we kuow of is a young widow.
What she don’t know there is no use ia
learning.'
