SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 11,1866 Looking Under the Bed. It is the habit of many persons to taka a look under the bed before retiring for (he night. — Mrs. Evergreen, my beloved wife, indulges, if indulgence It can be called, in this peculiar practice. I do not object to it in the least so long ns she does not enforce the performance upon myself; but when, as is sometimes the ease, she forgets it until she has put out the light and ensconced herself under the comfort er, then it is hard that 1, who am not troubled with nervous apprehensiveness, should have to get out in the cold and do it for her. I have often remarked to Mrs. Evergreen, when I have seen her prying under the bed, that it was a ( illy habit, and that the sooner alie gave it up the better. To ibis gentle admonition my bet ter half invariably rejoins : “ l.a, Evergreen, what harm does it do ? It’s a kind of satisfaction to know that pobody’s under there, and then I don’t think of aueha horrible thing after I’m in hed.” “ I think, my dear, you might just as well pursue your investigations further, and look into the bureau drawers and in the clothes basket!” “ Evergreen,” she will rejoin, “ don’t men tion the idea, or I shall eertaiuly do so. Come lo think of it, a man could very easily get into the clothes-basket!” “ Certainly he. could, my dear, quite as easily as Ealstali'. You should certainly include the clothes-basket, and by tlie-by, there's the chim ney ; why not look up that as well V” “ Now, Evergreen, you’re laughing at me. But i can't leave off the lmbit, and 1 never will. It’s a comfort for me to know that there’s nothing wrong about it, and I don’t see why you should deprive me of it.” Ho under the bed goes the candle, and no signs of humanity being discovered, Mrs. Ev ergreen is able to repose in peace. But, ns nl iclv observed, this precautionary act is some rfties forgotten, and 1 am sometimes obliged to rise, light the lamp, and report. I’ve done it rather more frequently of late than is agreeable, and have intimated as much to Mrs. E. She says: ; “ Very well, Evergreen, 1 will do it myself." But this pioeedure is almost equally as bad, for she invariably lets the cold in on mo botli in getting out and getting in. if it were not for increasing this mental idiosyncracy on the part of Mrs. Evergreen, by giving her some good reason to apprehend danger, I should relate to her what I am about to lay before the reader. In this narration, therefore, 1 ask the public most particularly to bear in mind that Mrs. Evergreen is of a sensitive nature, rather ap prehensive and slightly superstitious,and that what I have to say must under no circumstances be told again. If tor two-and-tweuty years (that is the period of our wedded life, and hap py years have they been) --if, I say, I have for this long period refrained from imparting the matter to the beloved sharer of my joys and partaker of my sorrows, surely the public (which, as we know,always docs keep a secret) will keep mine. All young men, 1 suppose, have love affairs before they event ually ll v their affections on the one wiio is to Idess their lot in life. I kftow that I had, and ! don’t regret it. Regret it! for from it. Mrs. Evergreen is not, present, and thorelm e 1 have no hesitation in saving that it 1 had my life to live over again I’d like to go through with the tame sentimental experience, partii ularly it it was to ho succeeded by again leading to the hymeneal altar the present Sjrs. Evergreen. I was not bad looking when I was in my twenties. I think I may go farther, and confi dently say that “Gus Evergreen” was a deci ded favorite among the girls of Oakville, and I really believe that 1 could have had any ot them ** for the asking.” Ait 1 before remarked, Mrs. Evergreen is not present, and 1 indulge my thoughts somewhat more fyuoly thiqj would ‘utifrt Vvise be the eas ti l don’t think tnsr T*' eared particularly for any of the Oakville girls, however, and I might have kept my heart whole to this day if if had not been for the cireuni stancc which I am about to relate. Fred Evans, who had been my chum at school, came to make me a visit at Oakville for “ a day or two,” as lie said, When he came; hut he made it a week or two easily enough after I’d taken him about a little among the “young ladies.” When that time had expired Fred said he really must go, as he didn’t know what his father and mother would think of his long ab sence ; but it ended in his relieving their anxie ty by a letter and sending for his trunks. 1 knew how the matter was perfectly well, and that Belle Bronson had bewitched him out of his live senses. Fred used to put it on to the “country air and the quiet which was benefiting his health, etc.” but it was no use trying to de ceive me, and I told him so. Then he owned up frankly, and I promised to help him nil 1 could, if lie required any help in the prosecu tion of hi-suit. 1 never thought Bello a flirt, or that she would willingly distress any human being; but she had away ot looking into one’s eyes as i: > captivate them for her mere per sonal amusement. At any rate she had a larger share of beaux than tiio other girls, but nil their attentions came to nothing. I feared it might he so with , a Fred Evan-, and warned him accordingly ; but » Fred said he’d “have her if he tried all his life ; that “ without iter life was naught to him;” that “ she was the only living being who hail ever awakened a real emotion in ins breast,” etc., etc. After that 1 said no more, blit closely observed the lovers, and soon came to the con clusion that Fred was by no means disagreea ble to her. Things went on in this way without any definite results until Fred received a sud den summons home on account of his mother’s illness. When lie came back to renew his visit he insisted upon staying at the Oakville Hotel rather than wear out his welcome at our house, and finding remonstrances unavailing, there he tyent. The landlord (honest old Downsbury— -1 wonder if he yet lives) gave Fred, at my sug gestion, his best bedroom, "No. 20 -I am particular in mentioning the number, “lie shall have No. 20,” said Downsbury. “ Any friend ol yours, Master Augustus, shall have the best i have to give as long’s I’m landlord.” It. was a, pleasant room, looking out on the dis tant hills and the beautiful winding branch of the Black Water ; but wliat cared Fred for scenery ? he was in the hands ot the blind god, and could not sec even as far an his nose, ex cept, in the direction of Belle’s cottage. I used to go over to Fred’s room and smoke my segar, while he, poor wretch, expatiated on his sufferings, doubts, and solicitudes. Did sin love him ? Hint was the question which dis turbed every moment of his existence, and to which, with the closest reasoning, he could not bring himself a satisfactory reply. Sometimes be thought a word or a sign settled the point beyond a doubt in his favor ; and at others lie landed he read a coolness and indifference it! her eyes, lit this condition of uncertainty lie dared not press the question lest a busty step might bring him to grief. At Fred’s earnest solicitation 1 promised to sound Belle as to her sentiments, if a favorable opportunity presented itself, or at any rate to let Iter know in an indirect way that Fred was languishing in distress on her account, and finis give her no excuse for unnecessarily prolong ing ids misery. It so happened, however, that my services were not called into requisition. Belle Bronson, because of the sudden arrival at her house of some country cousins was obliged to give up her room—tier mother’s cottage being a small one-and to occupy for a single night a room at the hotel. We would cheerful ly have offered her guests accommodations at' our house, hut we were in the same predica ment. An agricultural fair in the village had brought many strangers into the place, and our own guests were so numerous that 7 had given up my room to two of them, and had Intended asking Fred Evans to let me pass the night with hint. For ttiis purpose I went to the hotel at a late hour, and proceeded at once to Fred’s room, but to my surprise found no one there. I did not even notice that his trunk was gone, or suspect tlie fact, which afterwards became ap parent, that “to oblige some lady guest for this night only," as the landlord expressed it, Fred had consented to give up “No. 20” and occupy cupy a small room in the rear of the build ing. The gas being turned up I took a book lo await Ills return, and hearing at last what ap peared to be steps approaching the room, and supposing it to be Fred, in a momentary im pulse to play a joke on him I slipped under a bed, a large and high one, intending to imitate a cat (of which animal f knew he had a detesta tion) as soon as he entered the room. The door opened, and I was on the point of indulg ing in my ventriloquial faculty by giving a long drawn tnieow, when from my hiding-place I beheld Belle Bronson take quiet possession of the apartment 1 My astonishment was so great, and the sense of mortification so intense, that I did not, as I should have done, make myself immediately known to her. Thus the opportunity for dis covery and explanation was lost. I dared not move a hair, but hoped sincerely that some ex cuse might take her out of the room for a mo ment, and so facilitate my escape. She, how ever, locked the door, removed the key, and, ns I knew by the sound, prepared to retire. Final ly she kneeled dow beside the bed, and clasp ing her hands and bowing her head (so fearfully near to mine that f could hear the soft words in my very ear), she offered up her evening prayer in a manner so full of feeling, and witli such sweet acceuts of womanly tenderness and devotion, that I felt as if she was an angel bend- tocchlg {(Constitutionniisi. ' t] • ' 4 ajfcj ing over the vilest of mortals. That prayer went to my heart; but one portion went through it and held it captive. Never shall I forget my feelings of surprise and deep emotion when I heard her utter these words : “ Bless my dear mother, sisters, and friends ; bless all around me, and, O God ! bless him I love, Augustus Evergreen, and shower down thy mercies over him. Amen.” “Ah Augustus,” said my divin ity to herself, as she rose irom her devotional attitude, “if you but knew that I named your very name in my prayers, you would he less indifferent to me!” If I breathed short before, after tills my breath seemed to desert me entirely, and I verily thought that the beating of my heart would betray me. Belle, pure as an angel to me then, and white as a snow-flake, proceeded to turn off the gas and get into bed. I felt her soft pres sure over my head, and shrunk closer and closer to the hard floor upon which I was ex tended. What thoughts rushed through my brain ! above inc lay a young and unsophisti cated girl wholly uucouscious that the one she loved lay so closely to her, and who had for the first time been made aware of her interest in him, by hearing words which she supposed went only to Heaven ! I knew then that the night must pass away, and the morning come, and that Belle must first leave the apartment before I could venture to change even my po sition. Belle had lain perfeetlyTnotionless for sever al minutes and was, I flattered myself, losing herself in sleep, when Suddenly she exclaimed to herself, “ There—l haven’t looked under the bed.” A horror ran through me ; all is lost : what should Ido ? Belle rose and I heard her (ecling for the matches. She struck one and was moving toward the gas light, when the lu eifer went out, leaving all darkness again. Blessed relief; but how brief ! Again I heard her feeling for the matches and trying to light one after another, as they failed to ignilo ; then an “Oh deift*, there are no more!” escaped from her lips. "Sate! safe!” whispered my soul to me, and I thanked God in silence for my deliverance. Belle groped back to the lied, but did not immediately get in ; s!.e stooped and lifted the curtains which hudg around the bottom and cautiously passed her arm under and around as far as it could reach. 1 almost felt her lingers graze my face as I held myself fearfully and silently hack against the wall, too far, just too far for her reach. Apparently sat isfled that no danger was near her, Hhe lay down in the bed again, and I counted her res pirations till she was lost in slumber. As for myself, sleep was utterly out of the question. I never was so wide-awake in my life. How 1 lay upon that hard carpet aud thought the night out!—thought, of her, and her love tor me, thought of myself and my love tor her. Yes, 1 was convinced from that mo ment that the hand of destiny was in it, and that a benign and all-wise Providence had seen fit in this extraordinary way to open my eyes to the path of happiness and peace. With the morning light tresli fears came upon me lest my unconscious room-mate might yet peer beneath the bed.for robbers before she left the room ; but my fears were groundless.— She rose and dressed expeditiously, for she was to join her cousins atari early breakfast, and she had overslept herself. When nt last she took the key, unlocked the, door and departed, I lost no time In slipping out of my shameful place of concealment and escaping from the hotel. On the stairs I met Fred coming out of his room, who exclaimed : “ Why, what’s the matter with you, old fel low ? You look like the last days of an ill spent life. And your coat, too- why it’s all over leathers and dust. Where have you been ?” “Why, 1 slept—slept out last night; that’s all. Our house is full, and so I had to find quarters elsewhere. I’m just going home to dress.” “ I should say so, decidedly. I see it all, old fellow ! You’ve been on a lark, and had to put up in the watch-house ; come now, own up and tell us all about it.” “ No lark at all, Fred ; nothing of the kind, 1 assure you.” “ Well, it not a lark what kind of a bird was it ? From the looks of the feathers 1 should say it was a goose." “ You're (tic goose, Fred. But seriously, I’ve a word to say to you ot a. most important mt lure. Be a man, Fred, and make up your mind to hear something excessively disagreeable. It must be told you sooner Or later, ami 1 may as well tell it now.” “Good Heavens, Gus! how earnest you look at me; you don’t mean to say that—that any thing has happened to Belle Bronson?” “Don’t mention her name again, Fred, or Itiiuk nl , fix thing to you. I have it from one who knows all about it, that stie has long been attached to somebody else, and that somebody else m&iius to marry her. There’s no mistake about it; so bear up and try your luck elsewhere.” But Fred Evans was was not to be discour aged by mere hearsay. That very day he went, to see Belle, determined lo know his fate irom iicr own lips. Soon alter he left Oakville and I did not see him again for several years, when, meeting him in town one day, I insisted on bringing him home with me and presenting him to his old flame, Belle Bronson —the present, Mrs. Evergreen. “All, Fred!” said lie, after dinner, when my wife and the little Evergreens had left us to ourselves—“Ah, Fred, you served me a shabby trick when you allowed me to lose my heart to the girl you were all alo»g intending to marry yourself—a very shabby trick, one of which I never suspected you!" So I had to tell him (in strict confidence, of course, as I tell you reader,) all about the bed room affair at the Oakville Hotel, and the love that grew out ot it. Wnat Sort of Stuff “ Rebels” are Made of. The New York Day Book talks to the North ern Radicals in the right strain, as will be per ceived by its article below. It does not mince matters, but flings hot shot into them as oltcn as they present their rotten broadsides to him: The lunatic and besotted tools, who call Jef ferson Davis and others in the South rebels, and fancy that they are going to render this term infamous by continual iteration and reit eration, will be regarded by the next generation as even gr'eater fools than knaves, though it is difficult to suppose them eclipsed in the latter respect. Rebels, forsooth ! It is the noblest word in language—in our present as well as in , our past history—and from the nature of things, always will be, however fools and knaves and the tools and toadies of despotism may strive to dishonor it. Who are the rebels in English history ? Why, the Ilampdens, Cromwells, Russels and Sidneys, many ol whom died on the scaffold, and at this moment all intelligent men kuow that whatever there is ot good in the English system, is the result of the sacrifices and efforts of those illustrious re bels. So in Scotland and Ireland—the Bruces and Wallaces and Emmets and Fitzgeralds arc the heroes of history—indeed, we only state a simple historical truth that no loyal man is re membered in history save for his crimes and for the purpose of avoidance, as Alva, Jeffreys and similar loyalists. Why, even our most clamorous loyalists of this country, Ben Butler or Joe Holt, would never presume to place the loyal Arnold in the same category with the rebel Washington, or Butler and his loyal ran gers above the rebel Schuyler and Ids rebel fol lowers —indeed, as observed from the the na ture of tilings, rebels are the very salt of the earth, and whatever may be the clamor of the loyal for a moment, rebels are illustrious for all time, lint it will be said that rebels to a Re publican Government are altogether different from rebels to European Governments. Is this so? No names are-nothing, if the things they represent are changed. When people can't rebel against what was aud what purports to be their Government, why the thing is changed of course. Thus, if Abraham Lincoln would agree to administer the true Government of the States, Jefferson Davis and other would not have been rebels, nor would Washington and Adams, if Georgo 111 had done so. This pregnaut truth this generation may not receive, perhaps, but we believe they will—at all events, whatever may be the seeming virtue of to-day, Jefferson Davis aud his brother rebels are as certain of posterity as Washington and all the other rebels of history. A Study of Egyptian Beiges.—Professor linger, the Viennese botanist and paleontolo gist, lias recently published soiqo remarks on the bricks of the ancient Egyptians, especially fhoso of the pyramid of Dashour, which was built about i},400 years before our era. One of them being examined through the microscope by the professor, he discovered that the mud of the Nile, out of which it was made, con tained, not only a quantity of animal-vegetable matter, but also fragments of many mamifac tured substances, whence we may conclude that Egypt must have enjoyed a high degree ot civilization upward of 5,000 years ago. Pro fessor Unger has been enabled, by the aid of the microscope, to discover in these bricks a number of plants which at that tiipe grew in Egypt. The chopped straw clearly discernible iu the body of the bricks confirms the descrip tion of the manner of making the latter, such as we find In Herodotus and iu the Book of Exodus. The Eldest Daughter at Home.—To be able to get dinner, to sweep the room, to make a garment, to tend a baby, would add greatly to the list of a young lady’s accomplishments. Where can we behold a more loyely sight than the eldest daughter of a iamily, standing in the sweet simplicity of her new womanhood, by the side of her toiling care-worn 'mother, to re lieve and aid her ? Now she presides at the table, now directs in the jpteben, j>qw amuses the fretting babe, now diverts half a score of little folks in the library- She can asssist her younger brothers in their studies, read the newspaper to her weary father, or smooth the aching brow of her fevered mother. Always ready with a helpiug hand and a cheerful smile for every emergency, she is an ougpl of Java and a blessiug to the home circle. Should she, be called out of it to originate a home of her own, would she he any less lovely or self-sacri ficing ? Spooney Butler on the Stump. IOW HE WAS RECEIVED BY THE GOTHAMITES. A Radical Congressional ratification meeting was held in t lie City Hall Baric Saturday, at whicli Gen. Hiram VValbridge presided. A large crowd coileeted, drawn together mainly by the fact that General Butler was advertised to speak. The scene of confusion that ensued the mo ment the Beast showed himself on the stand, was indescribable. Cries of “Spoons,” “Put him out,” “ How are you, cockeye ?” “We don’t want to hear you,” mingled with groans and hisses which completely drowned the cheers of the frieuds of the meeting, came from all sides, but more especially from the steps of the City Hail. The police, under Capt. Brack ett, used almost superhuman efforts to restore order, hut notwithstanding some dozen or twenty arrests were made, the uproar still con tinued. Finally, after waiting quietly for the noiso to subside, the General attempted to make himself heard by those who were in close proximity to ihe platform. He began liy say ing : Fellow-Citizens : The issue is now before us, whether the men—[Cries of “Spoons” “spoons,”]—who by force and fraud sought to overthrow the country shall rule it—[Hisses and groans and so much confusion that Butler stopped speaking. J Billy Wilson, of the First ward—Never mind them, General, they will be taken care of. There will be some broken heads here in a few moments. A voice on the platform, encouraging the speaker—Go on, General. They are only cop peril ends. [Groans, and cries of “Put him out.” | General Butler.—l said the issue before us was whether the men who by force aiul fraud sought to overlhrow the country shall control its glorious destiny. [Groans, and three cheers for John T. Hoffman, whicli were followed by three cheers for “ Ben Butler” from around the platform.] General Butler [coolly picking his teeth with a golden tooth pick,'and hiking quite compla cently upon tlie crowd.] Very well, von have taken your lime and I will lake mini'. [Cries of “good, good.”] A voice.—“ Three cheers for Governor Fen ton,” responded to by mingled cheers aud groans. HE IS STRUCK WITH AN APPLE. General Butler.—When this war was closed, [erics of “spoons,”] when the last rebel in the South had surrendered At this juncture, some one in the crowd throw an apple at the-speaker with unerring preeisidn, striking him fair in the nbodominal region, and bringing the speech to rather an abrupt termination. The incident created a good deal of excitement on the platform, hut when Butler took the fruit in his hand and coolly commenced eating it, and bowed to his antagonist as though he had just been the re eipient of a favor instead of an insult, he brought the house down, and for a moment there was a hotter feeling in Ihe crowd. But it was only for a moment. Again the indigna tion of the crowd broke forth in cheers tor Hoffman and groans for Butler. Five minutes irobably elapsed during which time General ilutler continued eating his apple and waiting for an opportunity to he heard. ONCE MORE TO THE BREACH. General Butler (straining his voice lo the ut most so as to he heard,)—Since I have been standing here, fellow-citizens, I could not help remembering how much quieter these fellows (pointing to the crowd on the City Hall steps) were in 1864, when, instead ot having a traitor at the head of the Government, they had. an honest and true patriot, and when this city,was under the care of a magistrate who could con trol it. Here there was another outburst of indigna tion, and cries ot “spoons, spoons,” were heard on all sides, winding up with three cheers for Hoffman. Voice on the plat Torn—Go on General. General Butler—Oh, it is no use. They will tire by-.ind-hy, I suppose. I am not a President ora Vice President, that I want lo pander to the vile prejudices of an angry crowd. Cries of “spooqs, spoons,” “go home,” and loud groans still interrupted the speaker. It uas now half-past three o’clock, ancHlho speaker had been fully twenty minutes in endeavoring to obtain an audience. THE OPPOSITION GET UP A MEETING. The effort ty.prevent Gen Butler from being' Hrairt wns, iftrrnr, siieropsiul. A sallow coni plexioned individual on the steps of the .Cilv Hall then addressed the meeting in favor of Fox, the Democratic candidate for Congress against Mr. Greeley, and for about ten minutes, or so, General Butler was compelled to remain silent. t HORACE COMES TO Tnu RESCUE. Horace Greeley, in despair at the gloomy prospect, suggested to the Beast, as a last re sort, that lie address the reporters and people on the plat.orm. But the Beast was not going to be intimidated, but was determined that they should hear what he had to say. THE BEAST SHOWS HIS TEETH. Ho then continued his remarks amid great confusion—hooting, yelling and hissing, con cluding as follows : Why, you poor fools, I have faced your su periors in Baltimore and New Orleans ; 1 have hung your betters, and if you do not behave yourselves, I shall get the chance to do fin same with you ; I have seen a great many more than yon, with arms in their hands, and yet not flinched. Do you suppose I shall flinch from onion stinking breath ? A man who lias smelt gunpowder can stand garlic. Do you think that yon are the equal of the negro > On.no; (lie negro is as immeasurably your superior as heaven is above hell, where you will go to. I do not certainly respect you, and you inay lie quite sure I do not fear you. Men ol Five Points ! bullies of the bawdy house ! thieves of the lobby ! and burglars of the Tombs ! 1 sim ply declare here, as the voice of this nation, that you are not fit for the exercise of the elec tive franchise, and in no better way than this could you demonstrate the fact. 1 do not by any means desire to bandy words with an ig norant, foolish, excited crowd ; and 1 have only used the few and well describing epithets in or der that you may understand that I neither love nor hate you, and that there is an end to patieuce. No discussion—such as should gov ern reasoning men—would profit here. I saw at first that it was not to*l>e hoped, and 1 de termined, after waiting iu vain for the men who might perhaps lie but the incidents ol a crown to withdraw, that if order could not he restored, from that moment I would speak to the men as they deserved, and in a lungu.vSc which they could understand, because familiar to them. General Butler then retired. A fee ble attempt was made to cheer him, hut the faint applause elicited was speedily drowned in an overwhelming burst of hooting, yelling and groaning. “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.”— The holy Sabbath has again returned, and with it comes rest. The command of Jehovah to labor six- days aud rest on flic Babbath, like everything under the old Ilebriac dispensation was built upon a necessity. With six days of toil the wearied limbs, whether of man or of lower animals, needed repose. All the obser vances aud ceremonies of the Mosiae doctrine were governed by an economy which rendered them Indispensable. He, Moses, was the great law giver, and his proclamations were for the advancement, health and prosperity of his peo ple. “Give ns this day our daily bread.” It is a prayer peculiarly applicable to the Sabbath On that day “thou ' shalt do no manner of work.” And the command embraces servants and the drudges among the domestic animals. But it is the acknowledgement of the divine protecting power which feeds the hungry, clothes the poor, and rains down manna when the heart siekeuetli in its hunger. ■‘Oh, lives there, heaven beneath thy dark expanse One hopeless, itark, idolater of chance, Who, mouldering earthward, relt of every trust In joyless union, wedded to the dust, Could all hts parting cnoryy dismiss, And call this barren world sufficient bliss f” It is the reliance, upon the goodness and he uefleenco of Providence, that makes the high est reach—the utmost, round of civilization. Ignorance and superstition go along together, and it is not the man who can read, and is con versant with books, who is the least ignorant. Upon some minds the rays of intellectual lib erly never fall —a fearful blackness of a starless niglit must reign forever there. Their hearts may be filled with zeal, but the Almighty has not revealed himself to tiictn. He inis not given them their daily bread—nor have they partaken of the true sacrament of the Lord. ' “Love ye one another,” and be at pence with all, is the injunction of Him who spake unto llis “Heavenly Father” in intercession for man’s sins. Do we follow His injunction ? fjo wu not rather scramble to pluck advantage from each other, and build treasures that are not “laid np iu heaven V” The Sabbath Day.— I That day of rest, when thought of toil and memory ot weariness should not perplex and worry, is one of the blessings of civilization and Christianity. It is ' a wise provision, and one ot those dispensa tions, the original intentions of which is little understood and appreciated. While the mind is attuned to the sublime minstrelsy of devotion the limbs that may have ached, or the brain that may have grown dizzy with labor, are enabled to regain their wonted elasticity by repose. And then the sound of Sabbath bells ! What melody their music tells! How softly and sweetly they chime their call to prayer l The mind must indeed be obtuse which does not echo their cadences, and thrill with an unkuown but elevated feeling under the pathqs of their ! sounds. Should we not be grateful to God for his beneficence, and should we not be willing ■ on bended knees to express that gratitude? Hie to the churches then, of your favorite de nominations, and pour out the libations of your souls in songs of grateful praise. AUGUSTA, (Ga.) SUNDAY MORS NG, NOVEMBER 11, 1866.
