A. Wyeth, in his book, "With Sabre and Scalpel,” speaks of the "Re construction" days in Norlhern Ala bama. He says — "In the four years which had elapsed since the soldiers of the Confederacy had returned to their homes, laboring for the support of l heir families and the rehabilitation of their country, there was being attempted by the rad ical wing of the Republican party then in power the perpetration of the most monstrous political crime in the records of history. The infamy which is asso ciated with the partitionof Polandsinks into insignificance when compared to that which justly attaches to the effort to hold in subjection to an alien negro race (but a few months before in bond age) tlie white peoplejof the South, the former owners of these froedmen. The only instance in all (lie annals of the world's history. "Keeping alive the bitterness which a long and bloody civil war had engen dered, under the adroit leadership of Thaddeus Stevens, lion Wade and James G. Blaine, this immortal trium virate of 'wavers of the bloody shirt’so pluyed upon the fears and prejudices of the electorate of the North as to main tain themselves in power for years and to secure in the National Congress leg islation favorable to their schemes. “To the freed slaves the franchise was given without restriction. The only qualification was color and a certificate of slavery. The best white people of tho South were not allowed to vote. My own father was disfranchised, while Peyton, one of our former slaves, who still lived with us, performing the same service he had done before he was freed, announced himself as u candi date for the Legislature! A company of negro troops garrisoned my native town, Guntersville, and another negro company was stationed in Franklin, the county seat of Marshall county. “Backed by these soldiers—for the Southern States were partitioned off in military districts—elections were held, and the State and county governments were handed over to hordes of adven turers. The 'carpet-baggers,' who, hailing from all quarters of the earth, where many of them had neither local habitation nor name, swarmed into the country; to tho 'scalawags,' the unrec ognized and unprincipled 'down and out' white natives; and last, hut not least, to the negroes, their easily-handled tools, stunned almost to irresponsibility bv the suddenness of their advance ment, and pitifully drunk with power. "At first the ex-t’onfederates were submissive and silent. They looked on these strange happenings with sadness and amazement, and later with indig nation. as they realized that the safety of their wives and children was endan gered. The awakening came when the carpet-baggers and scalawags, under the auspices of the Freedmen’s Bu reaus, undertook to effect the military organization of the freedinen in the various counties of the States, tin these leagues the negroes were being taught that they were entitled to white wives.)

It was com posed of the best citizens of the South, young men largely, led by veteran sol diers. The negroes were holding night meetings. Their organizations were growing. The carpet - baggers were drilling them. The plan was to arrest the carpet-bagger drill master, give him a whipping and order him to leave the Stale. The leading negroes were called to the doors of their cabins at dead of night by mounted and masked men. who in sepulchral tones told them that tho ghosts of the dead from the battlefields were wandering back to warn them to beware of strangers and stuy ut home and mind their own busi ness. When the case was extreme and needed discipline, to avoid recognition and urrest (for Congiess was eager to punish the Ku-Klux,) notice was sent to the klan of an adjoining county, and these rode over at night to carry out the wishes of their brothers, who could establish thus an alibi.” Thud Stevens, the author of recon struction, was u crank on miscegenation. Tilings were leading up to where, with negroes armed and drilled by carpet-bag gers, under the auspices of the Freed man's Bureaus, (a Government milita ry institution,) that our white women were unsafe. Something desperate had to be done. It was done. The Invisi ble Empire, whose hea-i man was the Grand Wizard, whose orders had to be obeyed regardless of consequences. Nathan Bedford Forrest, that "Wizard of the Saddle,” and the greatest mili tary genius developed on either side in the war of the sixties, was the chief who directed this wonderful organiza tion. Willi eager eye he -aw the under lying menace to the white women of the South —whither the teachings of the "loyal leagues" were tending. At thu time we had few friends at the North. "Black heels on white necks" was the motto of the Republi can party. All arms were taken from the Southern people an i given to the negroes. John Brown was the patron saint of the Republican radicals in pow er. The "loyal leagues" were to all ap pearances preparing in every communi ty to itnitute N'at Turner's murders in Virginia, or re-enact John Brown Har per’s Ferry raid-a raid that precipita ted secession and the war. Forrest nipped in the hud these armed negro organizations and frustrated the diabol ical plans of the followers of Thad Ste vens The women of the South should build great monuments to Forrest. Ho blazed the way for redemption from re construct >n. None hut those who went through it have any conception of the great civic struggles to redeem our States from the destruction of “Reconstruction.’’ They were the greatest civic battles ever fought. As Judge Alton B. Par ker, in his Waldorf-Astoria speech on celebrating Jefferson's birthday, said; “Indeed, nothing in all the recorded history of mankind has been more pa thetic, more heroic, more deserving of admiration and sympathy than the at titude of the South since 1865. As fate would have it. their defeat in war was the smallest of their woes, because it could neither threaten nor bring dis honor. Buc the new contest—with par tisan rancor, with military power, with theft and robbery and all manner of oppressions, with poverty and enforced domination of a race lately in slavery— forced as it was without time for re covery and that, too, in their own homes — required a courage little less tnan su perhuman."

We were forcibly struck the other lay by the truth of a remark made by a man who at the time was under serious difficulty over the crop that had sprung up from the wild oats he had sown when a boy. A little friend of his was pouring out his grief over some chastisement, when he gently re marked: "Take all your corrections kindly, and be thankful to anyone who cares enough for you to teli you of your mistakes, or warn you when you first begin to go astray. For,” he con tinued sadiy, "the more corrections you receive ami profit by when young, the less you will receive from the world when older.” A truer statement was never uttered. What a responsibility, then, upon pa rents! Will it pay to close your eyes to the fact? All our corrections should be made with an eye to the future as well as the present. There should be principle involved. Let our children feel that it is our duty to punish them sometimes, never a pleasure. In our desire that their young lives be full of joy and gladness, will it be wise to re frain from imparting to them a know ledge of the sterner realities of life? Will it pay to allow them to go un taught? We must teach them so judi ciously the difference between the trend upward and the trend downward, that of their own accord they will eschew those pleasures of a doubtful nature. We cannot guard our boys and girls too closely. Many a fair flower lan guishes and dies before its time. It will,not pay to close our eyes to the sins around us, thinking our boys and girls proof against those influences. Above all things, teach the girls to be natural. Do not allow them to get into those simpering, giggling, foolish ways that so many young misses appear to think smart; and yet do not cause them to feel that you desire to put "old heads on young shoulders." Far from it. Let young people be young people still, hut the while not forgetting that there is far more real happiness in be ing pure and true than can be found along any other line.

VERY UNHAPPY Physically and Mentally Worn Out—Tells How Nervous and Crying Spells Were Ended by Vinoi. Monmouth, Ill.:—“I was weak, worn- out and nervous. I had no appetite and v as getting so thin and discouraged, one day I just broke down and cried when a friend came in and asked me what was the matter. I told of my condition and how nothing I took seemed to do me any good. Vinol was suggested. I got a bottle and before it was half gone I could eat and sleep well. I continued its use and now my friends say I look ten years younger, and I am well, healthy and strong. I wish I could induce every tired-out, worn-out, nervous woman to take Vinol.”—Mrs. Harriet Gale, Monmouth, Ill.

Elderly people, who recall what feats of financing were performed by the Government of the Southern Confed eracy in carrying on a war for two years after there wa3 no real reason to hope for a successful issue, have had their doubts as to the correctness of the predictions made in these later days that the European nations must soon stop fighting for lack of money. Some nine thousand millions of dollars have been expended in the war so far, and the cost per day is mounting higher in stead of decreasing; but none of the countries appears financially exhausted or even in distress. The truth is, the war is conducted largely on credit. There will be immense war debts lelt after the war is over, but that cannot be helped. It is one of the accompany ing evils of the war. Peice, there fore. will not come early because cf monetary considerations, but because of tactical mistakes or military exhaustion. When the warring nations of one side overcome those of the other, or both sides become convinced that the affair is a "dogfall,” peace will be concluded; and this last may be nearer at hand than most people suppose.
