A Eoat Father aud Brother.
With the Lope of being instrumental
in gaining information for a most un
fortunato young lady we publish the
following letter from Miss Martha lioul
den, I’ulaski, Tcnn., wbioh appears in
the Citizen of that lowd, and hope that
some of our Tennesseo friends, here
abouts, may be able to relievo her dis
tressed anxiety :
I desire to ask your assistance, and
that of the Southern press generally, in
finding a loved and lost parent and a
most affeotionate and devoted brother.
My father, IdeDjamic Bonlden, was a
sohool teacher in the county of Coke, in
Eastern TeDnesse, and was known as a
rebel. On account of his honest oon
viotion in favor of Southern independ
ence, he was driven home, and his
family robbed of everything" tney had
The last we heard of him be was in
North Carolina. He is a native of
Charlotte county, Va , and made this
his home during the latter part of the
war, but I have written to postmasters
and others in both States, and have not
been able to hear anything whatever
from him. My brother (Thomas) was
a rebel soldier, and was wounded in the
left shoulder at Port DoDalson , he
came home, and after getting well, join
ed Capt. Wash’s company, was made
first lieutenant, and served during the
war. After the surrender, he came
borne and remained there quietly until
June, when the same demoniae spirit
drove him away, which prompted an
East Tennessee Union mob, to wbieh
Kuklux or even devils (forgive me) are
saints, to rush my poor old father away
from his helples family, aud then rob
them like insatiate fiends. My brother
went to school at Sand Hill, North
Carolina, for a while, but the last we
heard of him he was in Georgia After
waiting and watching and praying for
their return, O, ever so many weary
days and weeks and months, with no ti
dings, no friends to help us, and no ties
to bind us to our once loved home, we
moved to Giles county, and hope by
the grace of God and the assistance of
friends to make out some kind of liv
ing until their return or tidings of some
kind reach us from them. My father
and brother were each six feet high,
and of fair comjdexion. Father was an
affectionate and devoted man to his fam
ily, and was himself beloved by all that
know him. His smile was the joy of my
own young life; hts bonn'y supplied
my wants, and his love strowid my path
with fljwcrs. llow justly may I say
my happiness lies buried with him if
he is dead. I have a blind mother, two
sisters and a brother hete. Wo are in
a helpless condilijD, destitute of all of
the comforts of life—among strangers,
without friends or money. If you can
have sympathy for a family in this con
dition, please assist mo in finding the
loved aDd lost once. I cannot write
more. Bear with me and help mo if
*you can. Mautiia Bouldkn.
Duiiit'l Webster’s Friglit.
No situation more perfectly paves the
way for a hearty laugh at the end, than
that of two strangers obliged to be to
gether and in mutual terror of each
other. Nothing caa be more comically
unccmfortallo than a couple of honest
men eyeing each other askance an hour
or two, when all the time “one is afraid
and the other daresn’t.”
Upon one occasion, Mr. Webster
was on his way to attend to bis duties
at Washington. He was compelled to
proceed at night by stage from Haiti
more. He had no traveling compan
ions,, and the driver had a sort of felon
look which produced no inoonsiderable
alarm with the Senator.
“I endeavored to traoquiUze myself,’»
said Mr. Webster, “and had partially
succeeded, when we reached the woods
between Bladcnsbnrg and (a proper
scene for murder or outrage.) and here
I confess, my courage again deserted
me.
“Just then the driver, turning to me,
with a gruff voice asked my name. I
gave it to him.
“Where are y u going?” said ho.
Tbotop’y was “to Washington. 1
am a Senator.”
Upon this, the driver seized me fer
vently by the hand, and rxclaimed,
“llow glad lam ! I have been trem
bling in mv seat for the last hour, for
when I looked at you I took you to be a
highwayman.” Os course, both parties
were relieved.
A French lady returning from Ha
vana# carried with her a negoboy, for
whom she very tenderly cared. One
day Batnboula said to bis mistress;—
“Papa told me when I was big I must
kill you and carry him all your money.
I’m going to,kill you, but I shan't go
back to him, for he would take all th#
money away.” Batnboula is on his way
home.

Graut un a Financier.
A few weeks since we published an
account of a little business transaction
in which President Grant figured as a
principal, wbioh transaction, althouh
creditable to his sharpness, was soaroely
likely to add to bis reputation for hon
esty and fair dealing. Like Messrs
“Dodson & Fogg,” he showed himself
to be a keen practitioner where his own
interests were affeoted, and, like that il
lustrious firm, also, ho showed clearly
that any trifling scruples on the honor
would not deter him from attaining his
objeot. The matter we allude to was
the agreement te sell his house, in Wash
ington, to Mr. Bayles J. Bowen, the
present Postmaster of that city, for the
pleasant little sura of $40,000. Con
sidering that this house was a gift, and
consequently cost him nothing, the speo
ulation was not a bad one, and the sum
realized should Lave been eminently
satisfactory. So thought the President
at the time, and the prelim : naries for
the transfer being agreed upon, the sale
was looked upon as a bona fide transac
tion. Now comes the interesting part
of the story. Hardly was the agree
ment concluded betwoenGrant and Bow
en,when along come somo friends of
Gen. Sherman, then appointed Oomman*
der-in Chief of .the Armies of the
United States, who desired to Beonre the
house for their principal. Os course
President Grant informed them that the
house was sold, and that they were
somewhat too late. Bat they must
have the mansion, and would give
$60,000 for it. Ah, here was a horse
of another oolor ! Twenty thousand
dollars was not to bo thrown away on
account of any mere scruple of honor or
integrity! Certainly not! Forgetful
of the words of the immortal bard, “He
who steals my purse, steals trash ; but
ho who steals mine honor,” &0., the
present immaculate oeeupanf of the ex
ecutive chair agreed to throw Bowen
over, and let Sherman have the proper
ty. liowen’s rage can be imaginedj
and his protest against this violation of
a good faith was at the same time made
public. Finally, however, Bowen coc
sen'ed to reliegnish his claim. Short
ly afterward he was appointed Postmas
ter at Washington, although his appoint
ment was in opposition to the wishes of
very many of the friends of the Admin-
■ iitration. But Bowen had the whip
hand, and lie must be appeased. It is
now stated that contrary to the true in
terests of the people, and con’.rary to
the desires of the better class of Radi
cals, who were pressing a Mr. Robbins
for the office, Bowen received this ap
pointment as a reward for, and as a con
sTjuence of, his relinguishing Lis title
to the residence ol the President, to
whioh he, otherwise, insisted upon hav
ing. Docs this not present tho hope,
the joy, the idol of Radicals in an un
enviable light? Further comment ie
unnecessary. In dealing in real estate,
in Washington particularly, commend
us to less exalted personage*, unless,
perhaps, an office is coveted. This is
inded a story with a moral ! —Albany

The moral of the following anecdote
is not bounded by its temperance ap
plication. Who cares to take the re
sponsibility of leadmg any one intoony
wrong doing ?
A young man had been sadly intem
perate. He was a man of great capac
ity, fascination and power, but he had
a passion for brandy which nothing
could control. Often iu his walks, a
friend remonstrated with him, but in
vain; as often, in turn, would be in
vain urge bis friend Jo take a social
glass. On one occasion the latter
agreed to yield to him, and as they
walked up to the bar together, the bar
keeper said, —
“Gentlemen, what will you have ?”
“Wine, sir,” was the reply.
The glasses were filled, and the two
friends stood teady to plodgo each
other in renewed and eternal friend
ship, when bo paused aDd said to bis
intemperate friend
“Now, If I driuk this glass of wine
and become a drunkard, will you take
the resptonsibility ?”
Tho drunkard looked at bmi with
severity and said —
“Set down that glass.’*
It was set down, and the two
walked away without saying a word
0, the drunkard knows the awful
consequences of the first glass! Even
in his madoess for liquor, ho is not
willing to assume the responsibility of
another becoming a drunkard.

Tattlers.
The disposition to pry into the priva
cy of domestio life is, unfortunately, very
oomruon, arid is always dishonorable,
tho appetite morbid, rod the indulgence
of it disgraocful.
A family have a sacred right to pri
vacy. In guarding the delicate relations
of the household, seereey becomes a vir
tue. Even if by ohaneo tho privato af
fairs of a household are laid open to a
stranger, honor would require him to turu
from them ; and, if a knowledge of them
-were forced upon him, they should be
locked in sacred silence. A double ob
ligation of silence and leoreoy rests upon
one who is a guest in a family. The
turpitude of a betrayal of family histo
ry by a visitor is far greater than theft
would be. It is a thing so scandalous,
that it should degrade a person, and pat
him out of sooicty. To betray the secrets
of the household is not only an odious
immorality, but it is a sin and a shame
to be on good terms with those who arc
known to commit such outrages. They
put themselves out of the palo of sooie
ty. They should be treated as moral
outlaws.
These hungry eyed wretches who sit
in the unsuspicious circle of parents and
ohildrn, treasuring their words, spying
their weakness, misinterpreting the in
nooent liberties of tbo household, and
then ran from boase to house with their
shameless news, are worse than poison
ers of wells, or burners of bouses. They
poison the faith of man in man.' Make
no terms with suoh people. Tale bear
ers have no rights. They are common
enemies of good men. Hunt, harry,
and hound them out of society. They
are the worst of pests save one, that is
tho listener to the tale bearer. There
oould be no tattliug if there were no one
to hear. It takes an ear and a tongue
to make a scandal. Greedy listening ij
as dishonorable as nimble tattling. The
ear is the opon market where the tongue
sells its ill-gotten wares.
Home there are who will not repeat
again what they hear, but they are wil
ling to listen to it. They will not trade
in contraband goods, but they will buy
enough of the smuggler for family use.
These respectable listeners are the pat
rons of tattlers. It is the ready mark
et that keeps tale bearing brisk. It is
a shamo to listen to ill of your neighbor.
Christian benevolence dem'andd that you
do cot love ill news. A clean heart
and a true honor rejoice in kindly things.
It should be a pain and sorrow to know
of anything that degrades your neigh
bor in your eyes, even if he is your en
emy ; and how much more if ho is your
friend ? *
The Scriptures say, “Thou shall not
go up and down as a tale boarcr among
thy people ” “A tale bearer revaaleth
secrets; but he that is of a faithful (hi n
orable) spirit, oonoealeth the matter.”—
“The words of the tale bearer are as
wounds that go down into tho innermost
parts of the belly.” The Hebrews
thought that the affections had their
seat in the bowels; and by this phraeo,
“go down in’.o the innermost parts of
the belly,” they signify how sharp aDd
exasperating to the deepest feelings of
our nature are the oruel offioes of a com
raon tattler “Where no wood is, tho
fire goeth out; so, where there is no
tale bearing, the strife oenseth.” As
if he had said that so much of the strife
of society arises from tattling, that, if
that were cured, there would hardly be
any cause of quarrel left. Commend
ns to that religicn which mikes a man
humane with his tongue, and honorable
with his ear.— Home Journal.
llow Graut Loves the Soldiers.
President Grant’s affection for the
soldier is notorious; so deeply and fond
ly does he love these brave warrieis who
wero tho means of elevating him tathe
position which he now occupies, that
he is now unwilling that they should
bo contaminated by contaot with the
politicians who abound in our postoffices
and custom bouses, and so removes
them from positions which they hold in
these and other government offices, all
over the country. How exceedingly
thoughtful this is, and what a fatherly
interest be evinces in their moral wel
fare ! Unfortunately, however, for the
temporal w elfare of these displaced sol
diers, they relied entirely on the posi
tions which they held for the bread they
ate, and their removal by the one who
should be their best friend is likely to
occasion much misery and suffering
among them. These are among the
survivors of the great civil war, whose
serviocs, as womtnti>ucd yes ercay,
Lave been almost forgotten, and their
olaims are fast being ignored Gen
Grant, however, should be the last man
to furget them, lor it was by the sacri
fice of thousands of lives such as these,

these men have on him now ! He does
not now n*«d the support of the soldiers

did, and the most brilliant promises

the country publio indignation has been
aroused by tho removal of soldiers from
positions to whioh they had been ap
pointed by the last administration, and
which they were, it is said, in every
way capable of filling. From Buffalo
oomes a wail from the Radical press on
aooount of the removal of several well
known ex-army officers from the cus
tom-house in that city. These men, the
Buffalo paper say, were oapable and bad

They certainly had claims en (be prev

Sherman’s “Captures" in Georgia.
A Washington correspondent says :
Application was made yesterday to tho
War and Treasury Departments by two
United States Senators from Southern
States for the recovery of oertain valua
bles, silver plate, spoons, etc., formerly
belonging to the families of these Senar
ators and supposed to he among the val
uables captured by Sherman’s Army in
its “march to the sea.” The boxes
containing these valuables had been
seDt to the Treasury Department by the
War Department for safe kcepirg, and
are in the custody of General Spinner.
United States Treasurer. One of
these boxes was opened yerterday, and
to-day another, and thoroughly exam
ined, the oontents found to be watches,
diamonds, silver plate, laces, etc., very
valuable. The only article found be
longing to the Senators mentioned was
one silver spoon, having thereon the
initials of one of these gentlemen. The
representatives of the departments are
in a quandary as to the disposition to bo
made of this property, but it is suggest
ed that it can be disposed of as captured
and abandoned property.
Why not “tell the truth and shame
the and 1” at once, by calling it stolen
property and property obtained by high •
way robbery ? Look at the inventory
above—“watcher, diamonds, silvei plate
•poons, and laces,” —pretty subjects tor
capture by a great army engaged in tho
noble task of “saving the Union!”—
This property was stolen or taken away
by foroe from unprotected Georgia fe
males by a brutal soldiery, many of the
diamonds having been wruog by vio
lence from the hands of females, and in
no sense can they bo considered “aban
doned property,” exoept that they were
stolen by abandoned men. As there
seems to bo some doubt as to the best
mode of disposing of these trophies, wc
suggest that the only honest way is to
send them back to Georgia and let soma
officer of the government advertise a
descriptive list and call for the rightful
owners. And this the government will
do if it is not as mean as Butler Lim

Two Bears in a Hoube.—l onoo
heard a gentleman say that a bapppy
home must have twiJjoars in it. That
surprised every one who heard it. Who
would live with two bears in the house?
But tbo gentleman explained it. To
have a happy home you must have two
bears in it; you must bear and forbear.
Remember that.
