THE FOLLIBS OIF THE ACE.
FrJm the day when the mother ol
our race, with indiscre •
tion, ate the forbidden fruit, then by
consig ting her unfortunate family to
disgrace and ruin, down to the pres
ent moment all mankind have been be
set by follies, to a greater or less ex
tent;
1 J<? hot propose to trace the hisfo-.
ry of tu;m from the beginning, *to
point out the erring course of the Pa
triarchs, nor the follies of the remote
I shall not discuss the eccen
tricities of the early Empires, the va
garies of Athenian disputants, nor the
heroic folly or’ notorious lloma s. I
shall sitnj ly touch with great brevity,
and somewhat at sundom, upon some
of the most palpable follies of the
present age.
I will remark in the outset that no
one is exempt from folly. There nev
er was blit One, and lie were only the
semblance of a man, in whom there
was “no variableness, n r shadow Os
turning.” There is not an oak of
thought so fresh and vigorous, but has
its parasi'ic lichens or mistletoe, there
is not a mountain of mind so lofty and
grand, but hears its ratio of stunted
vegetation ; nor is there tm ocean of
soul so profound in its depths, but
contains its crawling crabs and hideous
reptiles.
Many of the follies of the present
age have been transmitted to us from
preceding generations, bet a larger
proportion of them have sprung from
the nature of the times. It is a curi
ous fact in history, that the more en
lightened a nation becomes the great*
eratrd more numerous ar its follies.
Prominent among the weaknesses
of the present day is that of egotism.
This is Dot confined to any one class of
people, it pervades all ranks, in all na
tions. . Every man, woman and child
is in a greater or less degree an erro
tist. Little children think nobody
else s plaything **o no pictiyj or i\a
nice as their own. The belle thinks
nobody’s face, or form, or wardrobe so
fascinating, or becoming as her own.
The dashing beau considers his the
glossiest hair, the finest moustache,
the most superb instep The mother
thinks hers are the prettiest children
and the fund father imagines there is
more of beauty iu the face of his
wife, and more of genius on the brow
of his hoy than any other man dare
aspire to. All this because these pc,,
etiliar attributes, or persons, are res°
pcctively the individual property of
the owners. This is the case when
egotism in its more concentrated fofm
has not taken possession of the mind.
There are some who consider them
selves too good, or too refined for any
wife, husband or children, and such
persons wo sec expecting the whole
community to bow down and acknowl
edge their supremacy. The politi.
cian on his canvassing tour, savs—in
effect —to his constituents, “ah well,
those other men might do as a dernier
resort, hut 1 am the man you want, no
other fr.an can fill the place as well as
I.” The military commander thinks
no other officer’s plans and combiua’
tions are equal to his cwn. If he
oses a battle General , a sub
ordinate, caused it, if that subordi
nate wins the day for hiui, he ap..
jlauds his own foresight in selecting
the best officer for that particular po*
sition, and if another army in the
same cause is defeated, lie gravely re*’
marks to his staff of parasites, “I
ought to lave been there.’’
The pedagogue considers bis sys*
tern of teaching the best, and wifi not
Ae convinced of the contrary ; and
tlio ndnlotor, ho man wllO abot’C all
others ought to be free from this fol
ly, congratulates himself on the eflect
of a sermon, and chuckles over the
thought of drawing larger congrega’
tions than any other preacher.
Interwoven with this is vanity,
which is inseparable from, hut is gen
erally more apparent than the other. —
Indeed “all, all is vanity.” When we
see a man affecting humility, and pro>
claiming his freedom from the folly of
vanity, no matter if he is dfessed in
the plainest garb, and is perfectly
simple in every attribute of his char*
acter, he is still vain, vain of hia
mility.
It is surprising to what an exten
people will go to gratify this weakness.
Those of limited means exceeding
their income to dress equal to their
wealthier neighbois, nay more, I have
even known of cases, and that lately,
where families actual!}’ stinted them
selves in food, that they might keep
up a fashionable exterior. I verily be
lieve people would cut off the ends of
their noses if it were fashionable to
to do so. Human conduct suetantiates
this opinion. How many thousands of
ladies have died from consumption,
caused from tight lacing, and how
! many feet have been disfigured and
crippled by wearing fashionable boots
and shoes.’ Arc these less injurious
•or do they cause less pain than cutting
off the nose ?
Young lady I don’t expect you to he
materially benefitted by these remarks.
I know you will send down as soon a
you hllich this article, and run vour
father in debt'for cite of those abomi
nable scull caps with brass flowers, ini.
properly called hats, or get the hair
dresser to arrange your tresses, others
wise beautiful because natural, to re
semble a peafowls tail on a rainy day
monrhing season. And you, young
man, it yoti can confine your flighty
mind long enough to read a column
will immediately write for a bottle of
“whiskerando,” and send word to
your tailor to put an extra width in
youi‘ pautloons legs, that you may lead
tire town, remarking the while “ah,
well, yes, Itrq. Vor., is ri_lit 1 suppose,
but a man had as well be'dead as out
of the fashion.”
I lave you ever thought of the Leas*
ou why fashions are so outrageous ? It
is because the vanity of each one
prompts him or her to try to he more
fashionable than all the rest, so that a
style which might have been elegant
at first, beeoc.cs horrid before it is out
two weeks, A single, sober thought
on the part of the most frivolous mind
will convince it that vanity is one of
the chief follies of the age.
O
We now come’ to selfishness, the legi
timate offspring .of the two already
named. One or hotli of the others
may exist without the last, but selfish
•ness cannot exist without the other
two. It is a most detestable folly, and
I’d rather plead guilty to all other ful
l.es combined, than to be imbued vith
tliis one. It makes itself apparent in
an infinite variety of shapes, and in
Hone of them is it attractive. The
sordid miser, tlie greedy gambler, tho
drunken sot, the’ damnable seducer,
and too often the red handed murder
er piocure their names by the develop,
meet of this folly of follies. It.seems
to be imuorentin the depraved nature
of man, but in tile present age it has
progressed to an unprecedented extent.
Why this “greed for gain,” this inter
minable race for fortune and position?
Ambition is but another, a more re
spectable name for the folly of selfish
ness. \\ here are the true statesmen
and pure patriots of by gone years ?
Ask the clouds, the winds, the waves \
echo answers where ?” These arc
the days ol wire.working deniagogism
and all because the hearts of men have
Dccomc ;*o ‘thoroughly impregnated
with selfishness. Why the very chil
dren themselves are carried away by
it. 1 heard not long ago of a little
boy who was weeping at the funeral of
a relative, one of his'playmates came
in and began to weep in sympathy,
jK’hen the bereaved one turned to him
with dried eyes, and remarked : “You
need’t be crying, its none of your fu
neral.” Selfishness has broken the
family circle, has sapped the founda.
tion of society, overturned the fabrics
of government, and yet amid all this
wrock and desolation are heard the
shrill ut scheming politicians,
“give me office, I am the man, I will
have position.”
Another great fully of the age is
fault'fiuding. Nobody is satisfied with
the deeds of anybody else. Every
body does wrong, and every body else
is to be the judge and pass sentence.
Here I may eypect a crash about
my own cars, but if you quart el with
me for telling you the truth, though I
may he guilty myself, you only illus
trate the truth of tny proposition.
Another prevalent folly is that of I
hobbyisiu.” Every person has a hob
by. The fa rmcr his peculiar mode of
planting’or cultivating, the merchant
his extraordinarily convenient prices,
the lawyer his particular style of
“browbeating’’ witnesses, the politi
cian his sacred “platform’’ aud the
preacher his unauthorised sanctimony.
And all these they insist upon ham
mering into the ears of everybody
else, who retaliate by sponting their
own idiosyncrasies.
These are a few of the follies of the age.
It would require pages to illustrate all
the subordinate ones which spring
from these, “their name is legion,” but
we may safely arrive at this conclusion
all follies, of whatever
may be traced back to the first two.
How important then that wc shouL
strive to eradicate the root, that the
branches may wither ana die.
Now my good reader your humble
mentor docs not profess to be exempt
from these, nor any of them. All
men are alike frail and inconsistent
The only difference between you and
me is, I have been thinkiflg on these
things, and you haveufc.

Execution of Hirz.
Washington, Nov. 10. —Captain
Wirz was hung between JO and 11
this morning* On the gaih.ws he <le.
elated his innocence, lie hied with-*
out exhibiting any symptoms of fear.
This morning Father Hoyle adininis
tered the sacrament te Capt. Wirz ; —
Father Wiggett, also of’ the Homan
Catholic chuch, then placed upon
the prisoner a black cambric, remark
ing as he did so, “I hope this will be
turned into white in another world.-”
At t wenty minutes past 10 he left the I
Capitol Prison, accompanied by Pro
vost Marshal Kusscll and other officers
and by Fathers Hoyle ami Wiggett.—
Passing between guards, they ascend
ed the scaffold The prisoner was
then seated. The .scaffold was twelve
reet squarg and twentystwo feet to
top beam, with a trap twelve feet from
the ground. The guard consisted of
the oth Pennsylvania Volunteers and
a small detachment of the Veteran
Reserve Corps, under command of
Captain Walbridge, military superin
tendent of the Old Capitol Prison.—
There was several hundred spectators
present, besides the military. The
civilians had been on special passes. —
Amid profound silence, Provost Mar
shal Russel proceeded to read the or
der of the war department, founded
on tlie verdict of the court martial
which tried the prisoner. He was
charged and convicted of combining
confederating, and Conspiriting with
Jefferson Davis, J. A. Scddon, Howell
Cobb. J. H. Winder, Lt. Shelby Reod
Isaac White, W. S. Winder, R. R.
Stevenson, S. S. Moore; Kerr, late
hospital steward at Andersonville, J.
Duncan, W.‘Turner, Benjamin Harris
and others, whose names arc unknown
and who were then engaged in armed
rebellion against the United States,
maliciously, traitorously, and in viola
tion of the laws of wa.\ to impair and
injure the health and destroy the
lives, by subjecting to tortures and
great suffering, by confining in un
healthy and unwholesome quarters, by
exposing to the inclement winter and
to the dews and burning sun of sum
mer, by furnishing insufficient and
unwholesome food to a large number
of Federal prisoners of war —to-wit:
about forty-five thousand, held as pris
oners ol War at Andersonville, within
the limits of the so-called Confederate
States, on or before the 27th day of
March, 1804, and at divers times be
tween that day and the 10th of April
1805, to the end that the armies of
the United States might be weakened
and impared, and that the insurgents,
engaged in armed rebellion against
the United States might be ai-’cd and
comforted, etc., etc The order also
stated that the prisoner was found
guilty of the secon 1 charge, viz : min
der in violation of war, and guilty of,
excepting the fourth, tenth and thirs
teenth, which three set forth that he
killed a prisoner by shooting him with
a revolver, and that he ordered a sen
tinel to fire on him with a revolver,
and that he shot another wiih a revol
ver so that he died.
The order concludes as follows :
Sentence—Court do therefore sen
tence him, llcnry Wirz, to be hanged
by the neck until he be dead, at such
time and place as the President of the
United States may direct, two-thirds
of the members of the court concurr

prisoner, llenry Wirz, guilty of hav
ing caused the death, in the manner
as alleged in specification 11th, charge
two, by means of dogs, of three pris
oners of war ill his custody, and sol
diers of the United States, occurring
on or about the 15th of May t 1864,
another on or about the llth of July
1861, and another on or about the Ist
September, 1861, but which finding,
as expressed, has not been entered in
the’ sentence of the court as above
stated.
2d. The proceedings, findings and
sentence in the foregoing case have
been submitted to the President, the
following are his orders :
Executive Mansion, Nov. 3 1865.
The proceedings, findings and sens
tence of the Court in- the within case,
are approved, and it? is ordered that
the sentence he carried into execution
by the officer commanding the de
partment of Wash.ngton, on Friday,
the 10th day of November, 1865, bes
tween the hours of 6 in the morning
and 12 o’clock noon.
Signed, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States.
3. Major General C. C. Auger, com

ing sentence, in the case of Henry
Wirz, to be duly executed, in accor

His legs ami hands were tied, the
noose was placed arour and his neck, and
the black cap passed over his face.—
lie stood erect without faltering, evi
dently having nerved hims<#f to the
-solemn event. Those on the platform
retired to the railing, leaving the
doomed man in the centre of the
s’tiucture. Alter a few moments, the 1
drop, at a preconcerted signal, fell to
the ground,
‘lhe news having reached the cars
ol a promiscuous crowd inside the
capitol ground, hut who were not per
mitted to view tl*p execution, they efc
up repeated shouts of approbation.
The convict, directly alter falling
was considerably convulsed in Ins*

lie hung about 16 minutes, and was
then cut down. His body was laid

entire population placing themselves
in a state of defence—immense mee

of the govenor. The rebellion raged
with fury in St. Thomas in the early
unprecedented outrage committed up
on lives and property there. The vol
unteers sent to the insurectionary dis
tricts were only partially successful in
repulsing the insurgents.
New \ ork, NoV. O—A Havana cor

The barbarities committed by the reb*
els arc shocking. Mr. M. Collac*:
was dashed to pieces against a cannon -
Rev. Mr. Herscliell’s tongue was cut
