‘•Eft Eu,” fop lleavcn'ii sake,
‘‘Eel Eu.”
Under the caption of “Jotting of
Travel,'' the Atlanta Constitution has ■
correspondent, signing himsolf “Quill,”
who is very anxious that tbe Southern
people shull be temperate in their lun
guage ; and he or ehe deprecates “the
blatant ranting of some of our extreme
Democrats.” He says it scares en
terprising Yankees v ho desire to bring
capital and enterprise among us, and
they feel it ib not sale for thorn to come
down to this heathen land. The said
nervous individual writes;
“Let our people avoid rash utteran
ces. They do no good; they hurt us.
Let us be right and stick hunly to the
right. Let us have no hand ia wrong;
l*nt let us be prudent. Let us abuse
nobody! Let us have no harsh words
to lavish on those who differ from us.
Let us devote ourselves to our materi
al enterprises. Let us start railroads
and manufactories. Lot men work
and improve their fortunes. When
good men come among us, give them
the right hand of fellow-ship; welcome
them among: you, no matter what their
views, or politics, or antecedents. Bury
the war. VVipe away its said vestiges.
Kebuild its ruins. Forget its bitter
ness and cling tenderly to its soft mem
oties.”
Oh ! for heaven’s sake, says the La-
Grange Importer, “let us” be prudent
and dont hurt anybody’s feelings be
cause they may have an idiosyncrasy
to regard us as barbarians as many of
the Puritan Yankees do. Now, be it
known to all men, to the sons of the
Pilgrim Fathers, and tbe Puritans of
New England in particular, that even
they can live among us in peace and
perlectsecurity, whatever tnay be their
political iuclinations or utterances
And b« it further known unto those
people, that if they come among us de
termined on gaiu or enterprise, not at
tempting to force their peculiarities up
on the Southern people, they may en
joy the largest liberty of person and
esprefsion ol sentiment unmolested, un
harmed,
“unhonored and unsung.’’.
And be it further known unto those
people, that we cordially invito all cap
italists and industrious persons among
them “who wish to live anew life,”
obeying the Lor.d in holiness of con
i'. nduct, keeping that which of right
belongs to them and ‘ handling not
the unclean thing,” desiring to live a
righteous life by attending to their own
business and letting other people’s
alone; by keeping good company and
mingling socially with the decent peo
ple of the country, and eschewing evil
persons who come among us, with
carpet bags in hand, only to create
disorder and discoritenl; we say to
such, and only such, we extend a cor
dial invitation to them to come and
live with us, and be of us, and we will
give them a hearty wclcomovvhen they
come.
“Let us have peace.”
How a Planter Saved his Cot
ton.
An intelligent planter of Alabama
entirely escaped the lavages of tbe
cater; ilia? last year, although it destroy
ed the cottoj upon every other planta
tion in his country llis crop was the
finest he ever raised. The caterpillar
came up to the fields of all his next
door neighborhood, but they did not
cross bis fences. The reason for this
was be issued the sternest orders that
not a single bird, except the jty, should
be killed on his plantation under any
pretext whatever. He allowod little
willow groves to grow in his fields, and
to them he sent a sack of oats every
morning, which were scattered upon
the ground Tbe birds fed upon tbe
oats, and swarmed in thousands around
his fields. They exterminated the cot
ton fly. And hence there were no eggs,
there were no caterpillars; there were
no larve; but there was a blnonaiug gar
den in the midst of a blighted wilder
ness. There is no evil without its rem
edy; there is nodisease without a cure
Wo know of no species of bird which
ought to be killed off, except the com
mon jay. They are deadly enemies
and the common murderers of almost
every species of the feathered tribe.
They rob nests, suck tbe eggs, rob them
of tbe young and eat them. These or
nithological canibals should be killed
for this reason.

A Bargiilit with the Pump.
A queer place to make a bargain,
‘ruly, but there’s many a harder cue
tomor for the thirsty man to deal with
than out honest friend the old Pump.
John Ashworth, in bis Tenth Annu
al Report of the “Chapel for the Des
titudo,” Rochdale, England, tells tbe
following good story of one of tbe flan
nel weavers there, who made a very
good bargain with the pump.
“This man had saved a guinea for
tbe express purpose of having a whole
week’s fuddle He began on Mon
day, spending three shillings per day
for seven days; on the morning of the
eighth day ho was burning with thirst,
but his money was gone. He went to
the back door of the drunkery where
he had spent every farthing of his
guinea, to bog a pint on trust. Judy,
the landlady, was mopping the pas
sage; be stood looking at Judy, with
his cracked lips, parched tongue, an 1
bloodshot eyes, expecting her to ask
him to take just a drop; but she did
not, and he requested her to trust him
for enly one pint. With an indignant
look of scorn and contempt, she re
plied :
“ ‘Trust thee! thou dirty, idle vaga
bond; set a step in this house, and I
will dash this mop in ihy face.’
“The poor wretch hung down his
bead in shame. He was leaning against
a pump; and, after e. little study, be
gan to talk to the pump. ‘Well,
Pump,’ he said, ‘I have not spent a
guinea with thee; Pump, wilt thou
trust me a drop?’ He lifted up the
bundle, put his burning mouth to the
spout, and drank to bis fill; this done
he again said to the pump:
“ ‘Thank thee, Pump; and now, hear
me, Pump. I will not enter a public
house again for the next seven years,
so help me God ; and, Pump, thou art
a witness.'
“The bargain was kept, and this
man afterwards became a respectable
manufacturer and often said, ’lt was a
grand thing for him that Judy threat
ened to dash the mop iu his face.’ ”
Many a poor fellow would do well
to stop trading at the bar, and try a

A Case of Trance.
A young girl twelve years old, near
Burlington, Ratine county, Wis., has
been in a trance about three weeks.—
She had a severe attack of measols and
diptheria, and had nearly recovered
on iha Bth day of January, when she
called her father to her bedside and
told him she was going to sleep, and
that she should sleep for a iong, long
lime. She said she should look as
though she was dead, but she ehould
not be dead, and she made her father
promise that he would not bury her.
Soon after making this request, the
child apparently died. The body was
enshrouded and placed in a aofl/n, but
it showed no signs of death, although
the heart ceased to move, and nothing
showed that the respiratory organs
were in use. The eyes closol. In
this Ltate ihe girl has lain now for
twenty days without a si K n of life and
no sign of death, other than tbe sink
ing of tho cheeks and eyes, which
would, he natural with one tvho had
fasted for so long a period. In the
early pari of last week a vein was tap
ped arid blood flowed as naturally as
it would in a living ptreon. A blister
raised on the flesh precisely as it would
on that of one alive. A person pressed
a finger on the hund of the girt, Her
flesh was solid, and upon takiug away
th* finger, the spot was white. Iu a
few seconds the color crime again, pre
cisely as it would if the flesh of a liv
ing person were pressed in the same
manner. Tho case is attracting much
attention among the medical faeuity of
Wisconsin. It wi.l bo watched care
fully to the end. A largo number ol
persons have visited the house and ex
pressed themselves as lost iu wonder.

The following eloquent appeat to the
young men of the South, in from the pen
pf I*en. i>. 11. Hill :
“Now is the auspicious time to begin
in our desolate but still beautiful South,
to correct false notions about tbe ser
vile naturo of work. Those with ub
who have no need to work with their
own hands generally, beloug to that
class who shrank from the hardships
of the march and the dangers of the
battlefield. ’I heir purple fine linen
tell ot speculation and extortion, the
widow’s tears, the orphan’s wail and the
dead soldier’s! Away with them ! Pov
erty is cow the badge of nobility. It
speaks eloquently of heroism, patriot
ism oblivions of self and selfiish inter
est; generous saorifice of everything upon
tho altar of the country. No blazoned
coat of arms ever so plainly proclaimed
honorable blood as doe* that old faded
uuiform.—Take heed. O, ye heroes of
many a hard fought field, lest you should
bring a stain upon your bright escut
cheon. There is a cowardice which
shrinks from duty as well as a cowar—
dioe shrinks from danger. This jnst
as unmanly to fear “the world’s droad
laugh, as it ia to fear the shot and
shell of an enemy’s battery. It is just
as ignoble to neglvct the obligations at
home as to evade the service owing to
the country. You have been true to
the land of your birth-, bo true to those
who are bone of your boae and flesh
of your flesh. Your mothers, wives r
and sweet hearts have not blushed for
your want of manhood in the field t let
them not blush for your effeminacy and
siothfulnoss at the fireside. But we
believe in the eDdnriog manhood of the
Southern soldier. We believe that he
will meet toil and poverty in the same
noble spirit with which he ' has met
privations and peril. He is not settling
to bo crushed by hardships and to be
cast down by trouble. The lion in the
path of tbe timed and irresolute is but
u contemptible our to him-.

“Uncle Oliver,” said the pastor of a
country church, to an elderly farmer of
bis flock, ‘T wish yon would oarry a

“I will try to do it,” said the firmer;
“but to whom shall I look for tho
pay ?”
“Read,’’ said the pastor, “when you
go home, tbe first three verses of the
forty-first Psalm, and then if you want
any better a curity for payment, call
on me.”
It was but a few days after, the old
gentleman met his pastor, and said,
“I like that security you mentioned,
and have nofesrthat it'will fail me in
tho time of Deed—for iny heart so felt
the assurance when reading it that I
could scarce close my eyes that night.”
Thus it is often found that tbe “°word
of truth” is most precious, when, with
a child like trust, it is received into tho
mind and heart. We do not need to
wait for the time in which the promise
is to be fulfilled, for the “earnest” is
given by the Holy Spirit, when tho
word is taken as a practical truth, and
obeyed cheerfully
