REPUDIATION.
A celebrated English orator, Mr. Lowe,
has been telling his clamorous Liberal fellow
countrymen some plain truths. Mr. Lowr. i
the most formidable antagonist that Jons'
Bright has ever met, and as the Bright party
in England owns many features in common
with the Radical party in America, Mr. Lowe’s
remarkable oration is worthy of attention as
developing curious analogies. He shows that
the popular cry for universal suffrage, now ram
pant in England, was started by men who had
very little original sympathy for the populace—
reat|manufacturers grinding the faces of the
poor—and their newly awakened enthusiasm
was engendered by a lust of power which
could not be gratified by legitimate methods,
and so, had to seek influence through the in
flamed aspirations of the crowd. He further
demonstrated that the storm thus evoked was
passing from the control of those who had
called it forth, and, if not checked, would rush
to any extreme, even to that which compasses
the destruction of good government. “He
protested against household suffrage. He
protested against putting power in the hands
of the millions, who would soon learn their
strength and use it for selfish ends. He said
that these men, to whom they now proposed to
fling power, would soou legislate lor increase
of wages, for short hours and for throwing the
burden of taxation on the landholders. He
said further that they would not respect a
national debt which had been incurred by Par
liaments in which they had not been repre
sented and for purposes of which they did not
approve, and that they would deal with it sum
marily. In plain words lie spoke of repudia
tion. He adjured the gentlemen of England
not to fling away what they had been battling
for for years and not to abandon principles
which were the foundation of English liberty
and England’s prosperity."
Making due allowance for certain local dif
ferences, Mr. Lowe’s admonition might have
been addressed with equal force to the rule or
min party on this side of the water whose
leaders are actuated by the same motives as the
English reformers and equally reckless ns to
consequences. If the grave responsibilities of
universal suffrage could culminate in national
dishonor among the masses of Saxon origin,
how fenrfully true must the prediction of Mr.
Lows be when applied to the wholesale en
franchisement of a semi-harharous people and
the partial political outlawry of a large number
of the whites representing the intelligence and
blood of a vast domain? Precisely what Mr.
Lows prophecies of the lower orders of Eng
lishmen is in course of fulfillment among the
lower orders in America. Already the capi
talists, who hounded on the multitude to a war
which destroyed the labor of the South, are
being plagued with their own inventions and
hoisted by their own petard. Labor shrieks
for short hours and high wages. The Radical
Reformers, intent only upon retaining power
and careloss of every honorable impulse, catch
up the scream of their victims and tell them
that not only shall they have hll they
desire, but very much more than they have
demanded. Mr. Wade, the Vice-President,
speaking for Lis faction, promises a division of
property at the North as well as at the South.
The negro vote has been secured by a promise
of forty acres of land to each suffragan ; the
white laborer must lie enticed by similar in
ducements. The negro will be cleverly cheated
out of his portion, because confiscation is only
threatened in ease, of non-reconstruction under
the Sherman Bill. As all the negroes and
many mean whites favor such reconstruction,
the forty acre alternative falls to the ground,
since a division of lands will not follow a
—* Radicalfzation of the South. At the North,
however, the case is different. Capital bought
up labor to light the “ rebels," while it stayed
at home and plundered the Government. Capi
tal owns the national debt, and labor begins to
discover that it has been cheated. At this stage
of the game, wily Radicals like Wade bid
high for labor and turn it against capital for
party purposes. More potent than Owen
Glendoweh, Mr. Wade has called spirits from
the vasty deep and they come at his invocation.
The great demand, East and West, is for repu
diation of the national debt. The New York
Herald , taking time by the forelock, has long
since smoothed the way for an abolition of the
war debt by making raids upon the national
banks. It shows that a certain kind of North
ern confiscation began with their establishment
and can only end with their demolition. It
further shows that inasmuch as the poor have
been systematically robbed for the benefit of
the rich, it is in perfect keeping with Radical
ism to shift sides and invite the poor to rob the
rich in turn.
Mr. Lowe had ample warrant for his warn
ing, and will meet, perchance, with as much
heeding in England as the Cassandras of
American polities met in 1800. If the Bright
anarchists win the day, good-bye to the En
glish Constitution, good-bye to the English
debt.
The national banks and the national debt of
America begin to cower before the uuehaiu
ed monster of Akraham Linooi.n and the re
cently unshackled demon of Benjamin Wade.
George Francis Train made a speech to
the senatorial party which followed Wake
like the tail of a comet. Wage’s speech, ad
vocating universal confiscation and general
agrarianism, elicited a telling harangue from
Train. As the doctrine of the Vice-President,
pushed to a conclusion, necessitates a wiping
out of United States securities, we reproduce ft
graphic exhibit of Posterity vs. the Radical
Party. A Senator having inquired ns to the
debt, the following statement was given :
Mr. Train —Do you want to know ? Well,
yon shall have what you probably have never
seen belore —a debit and credit ol the war, a
profit and loss account.
1. You know that we have had a grand exhibi
tion of f.reworks, and mortgaged our farm to
pay for it. [“Oil!”]
2. The so-called wealth of the farmer con
sists in his having his soldier boy in the grave
yard, and a seven thirty in his pocket in ex
change. [Seusatiou.J
But here is the account:
DEBIT.
1. $3,000,000,(XX) ot national debt—a national
curse to every body, but Jay Cooke.
2. 91,000,000,(XX) State, city and county debt,
born ol the war.
3. 500,000 able bodied farmers, mechanics and
other white men dead, wortli *IO,OOO a piece,
f5,000,(KH),0(X).
4. 500,000 black laborers, worth 91,000 each,
9500,000 (XX). [ Hisses.]
5. 4,000,000 black laborers, men, women and
children, that it took three generations of while
Civilization to utilize into profitable labor—
totally demoralized and disorganized for the
time being. [Applause and considerable dis
sent, the Radicals getting uneasy, and endea
voring to stop Train’s “exposition” of uationnl
affairs. Train talked them all down, made fun
of their hisses, and carried his points, to the
evident disgust of many present.]
6. 95,000,000 of shipping, that it took ns fifty
years ot American industry, since Waterloo, to
whiten every ocean with our commerce, com
pletely wiped out by England’s neutrality.
[Applause, and “too true.”]
7. $4,000,000,000 worth of plantations, houses,
farms, factories, real estate, personal property,
wasted, burned, wiped out, completely de
stroyed—the accumulated industry of a hundred
years.
8. and lastly. An amount of swearing, gain
ing, drunkenness, prostitution, demoralization
that can not be enumerated by figures.
This will do for the debit; and when fanat
icism sleeps fora moment, the .nation’s eyes
will, open and a reaction will set in that will
emancipate my constituency, the white people
of the land. [Applause and dissent.]
So much for debit; what for credit? Gen
tlemen, 1 have no figures. You must he con
tent with ideas.

GERRIT SMITH.
This gentleman has written a noble article,
over his own signature, defending his appear
ance on the bail-bond of Jbffehson Davis
and combating the idea that treason must he
charged against the Bouth, after surrender. Mr.
Smith was a decided Abolitionist up to the
emancipation of Southern slaves. His antag
onism ceased at thatpoiut, bnt it has gone be
yond him to the Anti-slavery Society which
now proposes to abolish the negro. As an
honest fanatic, Mr. Bmith is entitled to a hear
ing, and had his countrymeu one-half the gen
erosity he manifests, the problem of reconstruc
tion would no longer prove vexatious and un
compromising. Alluding to the harsh and per
fidious conduct of his section, Mr. Smith
says :
The simple truth is, that we made a bargain
with the South, however wc may now be tempt
ed to deny it or to break it. Our Generals, in
the terms of the surrender of the Southern ar
mies, recognized this bargain—this bargain
that we should treat each other, not as traitors
under constitutional law, but as belligerents
under the law of war. The Supreme Court of
the Uuited States unanimously held that this
was the bargain. Alas ! the ineffable meanness,
the revolting infamy of our breaking this liar
gain now, when we have it in onr power to
break it! Aluh, what a poor use is this to which
to put the power of victory ! How it dims the
glory and reduces the value of victory! The
shame of defeat Is as nothing, compared-with
the slmme of abusing the power of success.— _
The holding of Juarez or some other Mexican
chief for treason, in cuse we should conquer
Mexico, would be a no more gross, ano more
immoral breach of faith, than is our holding
Jefferson Davis for it. No wonder that the en
lightened and sensitive men of the South are
stung to the quick by our perfidy. We may not
recover so far from our passion and prejudice
as to be ashamed of this perfidy, but our chil
dren will be ashamed of it. Who doubts, for
even one moment, that the North, had she been
conquered in this war, would have claimed nt
the hand of the conqueror the humanities of the
law of war—of that law whieli knows no trea
son. Are we doing as we would lie done by ?
I said the law of war knows no treason. I add
that treason ceases just when and where the ac
knowledgment of belligerent rights begins.—
Reason teaches this. Humanity teaches this.
The political liberalists of Europe beseech ns to
believe this. They tell us that they mean t.i
undertake, from time to time, to overturn their
despotic and oppressive governments, and that
nothing could lie worse for them than when,
now and then, they shall he conquered, to have
it in the power of the conqueror to plead the
example ot liberal America for charging them
willi treason.
Mr. Smith counsels mildness and argues
against further exactions. He points out the
only true path to reconciliation and peace
thus:
“ A sad mistake is it in the present conquer
ing party in Mexico to hold the contrary of this
doctrine. It is argued that such punishments
will warn and intimidate, and thus serve to pre
vent wars. But a sounder philosophy teaches
that they will exasperate and brutalize, and thus
tend to multiply wars. The following of the
present Mexican war with bloodshed will help
to keep Mexico a land of frequent and almost
incessant wars. On the other hand, the closing
ot it in the spirit of forgiveness would soften
the nation’s heart, and prepare it to receive the
seed of that higher civilization among whose
Iruits are the enduring peace and established
order, ior the lack of which Mexico, though so
favored by nature, is still so unprosperous and
unhappy. There is lint one legitimate, and in
deed, but one peaceful way, to prevent civil
wars, and that is justice on the part of govern
ment. Hud our Government been just — ever just,
entirely just, instead of being ever a flagrant op
pressor of the poor—this horrid war would not
have been."
He shows that an investment in Southern
heart is worth all the Russias and their posses
sions. He condemns the principles of confis
cation and urges the greatest charity. On this
subject he says:
In the next place, the North must hasten to
put an end to these threats of confiscation.—
Congress ought to say, without one dissenting
voice, and at the earliest day, that there should
lie no confiscation. The disfranchisement I
have just referred to is galling, and, as tho
masses believe, insulting to its subjects. Bnt
these threats, paralyzing the industry of the
South, and making even her bread uncertain,
are infinitely less bearable. They are fatally in
tlie way of her material prosperity. With the
cloud they tiring upon her titles she can neither
sell her lands nor borrow upon them. Wlmt
could be a more trying disability to an agricul
tural people wbo are destitute of money f That
strong and patriotic man, Thoddeus Stevens,
would have certain losses of loyal me.n repair
ed. I would ntyself be glad to see a liberal per
ccntage paid upon them, lie would provide
the means out ot confiscation, and at the ex
pense of the South ; I say out ol the National
Treasury, and at the expense of the nation.—
Tliero are three things which, in urging confis
cation, Mr. Stevens seems to forget. 1. That
the North, as well as the South, was guilty of
the war. 2. That while the North is still very
rich, the South, exhausted by that war, for
which the North, in common with herself, was
responsible, is exceedingly poor. 3. That con
fiscation once entered upon, it will be difficult,
if not impossible, to set limits to the spread of
its demoralizing power. The spirit of lawless
greed engendered by confiscation will no more
stop at State or other lines than will the flames
ol a pralrie-flre at the word of command. Let
there he confiscation in the South for the bene
fit of these, Mr. Stevens’ loyal losers, and also
lor the benefit of the poor blacks, as he also
proposes, and very soon, under its detmuching
influence, immense numbers at the North will
be clamoring, in the name of “ Agrarianism',”
“Equalization,” and other taking names, for
their neighbors’ possessions. And these rich
possessions, it must lie remembered, will kindle
the spirit of robbery, as can none of the poor
possessions ot the desolated South. These
lour requirements responded to, these lour con
ditions of “ reconstruction ” enacted, and no
others exacted, peace between the North and
South will be sure to follow. But to make Ibis
peace more speedy and more cordial in other
words, to olivet with the least delay an endur
ing heart union between the North and South,
thwd must be one tiling more. Out Govern
ment! is getting in the way of buying territory.
There is a purchase it can make which would
be immeasurably more important and profit
able than the purchase of any territory. Let it
buy the Southern heart, worth more to us than
a thousand Alaskas, nay, than all Russia. There
is one way, and only one way, by which it can
be bought, and that is by proving to the Soutli
that the North lovPs her—that the North has a
heart to give iu exchange for her heart.
It is relied of Mirabkau that, having start
ed the lmll of revolution in France, lie was
shocked at its impetuous course and strove to
stay it. But vain were words of eloquence
and admonitory checks. The revolution rush
ed over the throucs of Kings and the lives of
thousands, until it spent its force upon the
creation of Robesi-ierre. Mr. Smith helped
start the hall of anarchy in America by his
John Brown raid. His piteous pleadings are
as barren as the East wind to the ears of the
North. Stevens, Sheridan and Butler are
the monsters springing from his misguided
zeal. One is a Robespierre without con
tempt of riches; another, Danton without his
genius; the third, Marat without his rags.
It is too late lor pious thoughts and generous
adjurations. The creatures of wrath live hy
wrath, and by wrath will they he annihilated.
A Curious Revenge.— The publication, says
the New York Times, of the map of West
Point, made hy Kosciuezko eighty-eight years
ago, will reveal the Polish patriot in a new
light, that is to say, not only as an excellent
topographer, hut an execrable in the matter of
spelling English. His amusing letter, which
accompanies the plan, describes it as a " ruff
map,” with buildings “ for the fourage,” the
“ stehle,” the “ artellery barracks,” the “ bum
prove for flvety men,” and so forth. The letter
also alleges that the “ earpeuters complaiued
about the provision that he have not enof; he
beg yoar honor to allow them more bred.”—
This is almost as had us Artemus Ward. How
ever, "rough” and “enough” are stumbling
blocks for nny foreigner, both to pronounce
and spell, and, besides, we have had a century’s
revenge in spelling Koseiuszko’s name without
the z.
Wii.kes Booth and the President.— The
Judiciary Committee recently sent down to
Nashville a confidential person to ascertain the
relations that existed between J. .Vilkes Booth
and President Johnson when both were in
Nashville, during the latter part of the war.—
After interrogating many prominent men ot
both parties, nothing further was discovered
than that Baoth and the then military governor
of Tennessee had uo connection with each other
whatever. Apropos of this, a Nashville paper
says: “ Strange to relate, General Grant, who
knew that Booth was a rank rebel, and had re
fused to take the oath, gave him a pass to go to
New Orleans in the early part of 1864, writing
and signing the document himself.”
Merchants’ Union Express OomDtmy.
A CARD.
To the Editor of the Tribune ;
Sir—l notice in to-day’s issue of the Herald
the statement that a suit has been commenced
for an injunction against the Merchants’ Union
Express Company, “lor a receiver of its prop
erty, on the grounds of the reckless squander
ing of the money of the company, its present
insolvency, and the attempt on the part of a
portion of the officers of the company to eflect ,
for their own benefit, a secret and clandestine
arrangement for winding up the company.”
It is not true that any suit of this character
lias been commenced against this company ; but
a summons and complaint was yesterday served
on me individually in the city of Auburn,
wherein the above charges, with many others
equally false and ridiculous, were set forth.
The complaint is but a part of the luctics of
the enemy, being a tissue of falsehoods ; and
every material allegation therein is utterly and
recklessly untrue.
The proceeding, although taken iu the name
of an individual, is evidently instigated and con
trolled by the raauagers of the old Express
monopolies, and an unscrupulous ring of stock
jobbers, who have, from the date of the organi
zation of the company, sought every device to
depreciate its stock, and shake the faith of its
stockholders and the putilic in the value of the
stock.
Believing this to be the fact, we shall inter
pose uo obstacle to a full and complete investi
gation, but, on the contrary, we shall court such
investigation, when we shall disprove every
material allegation in the complaint, and satisfy
foes as well as friends that the facts set forth in
the recent report of our trustees are literally
true.
So far from the company being insolvent, the
fact is that it owes uo debts, and never has
owed any; and there never has been a day
since the opening of its lines when there have
not been several hundred thousand dollars in
its treasury. Its business was never more
prosperous than to-day, and its receipts have
rapidly increased from the date of commence
ment up to this time; and during the same time
the receipts of the old companies have as rapid
ly diminished. The returns to the United
States revenue olflce show these facts. From
them as published it appears that the receipts
of the Merchants’ Union lor the single month
of May, just passed, were greater than those
ever earned by any express company in the
same time ; and were within about *9,000 ot
the receipts of the American Express Company
for the whole of last quarter, embracing Janua
ry, February and March, and for the month of
Mareli last were greater than the receipts of the
United States and American Express Company
combined.
No company of its magnitude was ever man
aged and operated with greater care and econ
omy.
it is running more miles of Hue, and doing a
larger business, and is better equipped than any
other express company in the United States,
and its stock is without doubt intrinsically
worth far more than that of any other express
company.
Touching the “ secret and clandestine ” ar
rangement referred t«, it is simply ridiculous
as well us recklessly and wantonly untrue.
The complaint will he nuswered at once, and
the ease forced to trial at the earliest day.

A Washington correspondent of the Cincin
nati Commercial writes : “On the whole, it is
hardly probable that wc shall fail to sec gath
ered a determined, united and crushing Radical
majority in both houses. There may, and
doubtless will, be some divisions —some renew
al of the sore points of the ultra Radicals vs.
the Conservatives—some attempt to agitate for
confiscation and, possibly, for impeachment.
Blit the necessity for harmony will bring the
old pressure to bear upon all discordant ele
ments, and Congress, after agitating the coun
try front centre to circumference by furious
discussions which may add fresh fervor to the
scorching heats of dog days, will quietly re
enact the reconstruction law, atop the gaps
through which the astute Attorney General has
been driving his coach and six, and adjourn to
about the first of October."
Corps of Radical Orators Sent South
ward.—The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says that a corps of thirty
stump orators have been turned loose upon the
Southern States by the Union Congressional
Republican Committee, twenty of whom aro
colored men. These speakers go charged with
the strongest Republican logic within reach of
the Congressional Committee, and with the de
termination not to permit even one of the
smallest villages to escape its share of political
advice. Reinforcements to this corps are be
ing recruited daily, and will wend southwards
in a lew days.
Coming to Taw. —The Times a while ago op
posed a July session. Now it has slipped, slid,
consented, and approved a July session as "ex
pedient and even necessary to teach Mr. Stau
bery the meaning of the law, and to tell Mr.
Johnsou that Congress chooses to be its own
interpreter”—hut not lor any other purpose.—
Congress will meet in July and proceed to de
vise better means than these, which have failed,
to organize decisive and trustworthy [Repub
lican] majorities” iu the teu Southern States,
or else to keep them out till after the Presi
dential election.
For this purpose, were the July session to
“ organize hell” in the Southern States, we
should look to the Times to find it “ expedient
and even necessary,” and we should not be dis
appointed.—TV. Y. World.
A " Latter-day Saint ” Come to Light.—
It nfl*rds us unmitigated pleasure to nnnounce
that C. C. Bowen, who has been figuring so ex
tensively of late as a practicing attorney in the
Provost Courts, hut more particularly as the
“ freeilinen’s lriend,” was yesterday arrested by
the military authorities and committed to Cas
tle Pinckney, to await trial by a military com
mission upon several charges, amongst which
are the assumption of military authority and
embezzlement of the funds of freednten on
Edisto and Wadinalaw islands. The arrest was
made, wc are informed, at the request of Gen.
Scott, nnd upon representations from parties
whom Bowen lias victimised. The history of
Bowen is not unknown to a community which
will receive the intelligence of his committal
with unfeigned satisfaction, liis first appear
ance in this city was in the character of a cap
tain in a battalion of Georgia cavalry, com
manded by Major Wright, from which position
he was afterwards dismissed upon a finding of
a court martial convened for the purpose of
trying hint upon charges of conduct unbecom
ing an officer and a gentleman, forging pay
rolls and being absent without leave from his
command, for each of which, severally, he was
convicted.
At a later day, it our memory serves us, in
the fall of 1803, Major Wright, the officer to
whom we have referred, was U6sassinated, and
Bowen, upon the affidavit of the man arrested
on suspicion, was taken in custody for alleged
complicity in the offense, nnd remained in the
jail of this city until the incoming of the United
States troops, when he was released by a sort
of general authorized jail delivery, was made
clerk of provost court and soon afterwards
made his debut as a self-constituted friend ot‘
the freedmen, and enemy to the white people
of this State. More of his history, but noth
ing creditable, could be given, did we feel war
ranted in bestowing notice upon him, but it
suffices to say that lie has been foremost, until
now, itt slauderiug a “ lost cause,” to which
he was personally a disgrace, aijd In endeavor
ing to wean the colored people of this city from
the confidence of their old employers lor pur
poses of self-aggrandizement.

The Duke of , of pompous notoriety
and parsimonious celebrity, superintends per

with bis own hands. One morning a pretty
little girl presented her penuy and her pitcher

Gen. T. R. R. Cobb, of this Stale. No one is
better qualified to speak of the life and death
of this groat and good man. If affection
makes him too eulogistic of the man when liv
ing, it serves a useful turu in depicting with
tearful pathos the closing scene of all. Mr.
Porter 6ays :
“ lie fell in sight of bis own mother’s birth
place, on the soil of his ancestry ; and thence
we took him to the home of his boyhood, to
the scenes of his life-long success, to the town
of his love, and the hands of his earliest com
panions. We gave back the splendid remains
of this strong, humble, earnest, faithful son,
lather and husband to the aged arms of her
who bore him, to the broken hearts of wife
and little ones, dearer to him than all of earth,
and to the church and people whom he loved
so dearly. They and we laid him away amid
the tears of young aud old, rich and poor.—
The widow and orphan, fhc white and the
black, cast their little flower on the grave of
this great man, great in Ills goodness; and
each and all of the mingled multitude gathered
there fell they had lost a friend, and our bleed
ing country one of her noblest and strongest
sons, and that too in the hour of a great ex
tremity. Let his life be a mighty utterance to
eucourageinent, especially to young men in
these days of toil and darkness, telling them
what Industry, zeal and faith well kept towards
God and man will do.
“ We close this imperfect sketch witli the
simple aud noble letter of General Lee :
Camp Neah Fredericksrurg, )
December 18, 1862. 5
General ITowell Cobb :
General : I beg leave to express my deep
sympathy in your great sorrow. Yonr nolde
and gallant brother has met a soldier’s death,
and God grant that this army and our country
may never lie called upon again to mourn so
great a sacrifice.
Os his merits, his lofty intellect, his accom
plishments, his professional fame, and above
all his Christian character, I need not r-pi-ak to
you who knew him so intimately and well.
Kilt as a patriot, and soldier, his death has leti
a deep gap in the army which his military apti
tilde and skill render it hard to till. In ihe
battle of Fredericksburg lie won an immortal
name for himself and his brigade. Hour after
hour he held his position in front of oui-|hat
tcries, while, division after division of the
enemy was hurled against him. He announced
the determination of himself and his men
never to leave their post until the enemy was
beaten, and with unshaken courage and forti
tude lie kept his promise.
May God give consolation to his afflicted
family, and may the name and fame of the
Christian statesman and soldier be cherished as
a bright example and holy remembrance.
With great esteem,

sult them about their future prospects often,
uud Ibid that the opinion obtains with them,
that the young men were never so slow in prn
posijg as in these days; which, we must admit,
gives them a good, not to say all-powerful rea
son for not takiug a husband. Now, young
ladies, the whole secret with nine-tenths of you,
of not being able to get off your parents’ bands,
is simply this: you don’t know how to work.
You can’t keep tiouse. You can’t make a pair
of breeches. You can’t tell, for the life of you,
the difference between brau and shorts or which
cow gives the buttermilk. The young men
generally came out of the war “with the skin
of their teeth,” with no fortune, 1 might say,
but their wardrobes of gray and their canteens,
and to marry with them uovv, rest assured, re
lates more to making a living with the assist
ance of a loving, industrious help-mate, than
indulging in opera music, moonshine and po
etry. Do you know what they say of one of your
butterfly young ladies who has held, them in the
parlor engaged by the hour listening to “ ele
gant nothiugs ?" Nineteen times out of twenty
is this—" Well, she is all right lor an evening’s
entertainment, but she will not make a good
wife!”
There is no possible objection to the accom
plishments of music, painting, and the like, as
such, but the idea is to be able to set these par
lor amusements uside for the period when the
stern duties of married life call for your prac
tical knowledge. Show the young men that
you can do your part of double-business ; that
you can cook a meal’s victuals ou a pinch , that
you can sweep up, and dust, and darn old
stockiugs, and save a penny toward an accu
mulated pound; that, you will not be a dead
expense to him through life. Believe me,
young friends, as many true, heroic, womanly
hearts beat over household duties, as flutter
beneath the soft light of a parlor chandelier.
Your kiss is just as sweet, your smiles just as
bright, your heart as happy mid tender, after a
day’s exertion in a sphere worthy of true
womanhood, as in places of dissipation, frip
pery and silly amusement. Have an ambition
to do your part in life ; cultivate industrial
habits, nnd let the parlor accomplishments go
with the higher accomplishments 1 have roughly
enumerated. It is astonishing how soon a
domestic young lady is found out and appre
ciated. It is because she is such a rare excep
tion to the general rule.
The Wages of Women.—The custom from
time immemorial seems to have been to pay a
woman less than a man for doing the same work.
Doubtless this relic of other ages arose from
the fact thnt work assigned to women in other
times was of a less skilful character than that
of men, because mechanical pursuits were not
so varied, and, with some few exceptions, are
unfit avocations, on account of want of strength,
lor the weaker sex. Sedentary employments,
lighter and better suited to their powers, arc
fewer and probably not so profitable, and in
consequence we have had foisted upon our flat
ter civilization, and more varied demands for
labor, a system evidently unjust and partial,
because the standards of compensation in labor
should be skill and industry ; partial, because it
makes a distinction for which there is no foun
dation but that of false custom. It is time we
were standing out of our own light in this mat
ter, else the time may come, even in prosperous
Americn, when subsistence, not competence,
will tie the only object attainable by men or
women ; because gradually women will be em
ployed at the low rate of compensation, and
men will lie obliged to starve or work for the
same remuneration. Auothcr light in which
we may look at this matter, and nil important
one, is its bad tendencies. Morality demands
that wc shall not, hv our abominable stickling
for the customs of the past, force women to re
sort to lives of degradation, as we are doing
now, in order to escape from the clutches of
starvation. Justice, interest and morality dc
maiul that the skilled labor of women should
receive the same reward as that of men.

Thy kingdom come.
I heard a seer cry : “ The wilderness,
The solitary place,
Shall ret be glad for llim, and lie sliall bless
(Thy kingdom come) with llis revealed face
The forests : they shall drop their precious gn »,
And shed for Him their tiahn; and He shall yield
The grandeur of His speech to charm the field.
“ Than all the soothed winds shall drop to listen,
(Thy kingdom come,)
Comforted waters waxen calm shall glisten
With bashful tremhlernent beneath His smile ;
And echo ever the while
Shall take, and in her awful joy repeat,
The Isnglitur of Ills 'ips— (Thy kingdom come ;)
And iliiis that sit apart shall he no longer dumb;
No, they ••hall shout and shout,
Raining tliclr lovely loyally along the dewy plain ;
And valleys round about.
“ An! all the well-contented land, made sweet
\Titli flowers she opened at Ilia feet,
Still answer ; shout and make the welkin ring,
And i«!i it to the stars, shout, shout, and sing ;
Iter cup living lull to the brim
Her poverty made rich with Him,
“ Her yearning satisfied to the utmost sum—
Lilt up thy Voice, <J Karlli, prepare thy song,

Lift up, O Kaitli. tor tie shall come again,

The Poet’s Bed.
BY JULES JA.NIK.
(Translated for every Saturday from Le Journal des
Debats. |
The poet Archias was for a time celebrated
after the admirable defense Pro Archia Poela,
one of the noblest works of the Rinnan orator.
In these really eloquent pages aliout a perse
cuted poet, Cicero wrote the noblest and most
touching tribute ever paid in honor of poet aud
writer. All Rome applauded this admirable ar
gument, and the poet’s rights as a Roman citi
zen Were preserved. But after the applause of
the oration had died away other events had oc
curred, the most sombre hours of the republic
had come ; amid civil wars, iu lb: height of the
dispute between Fompey aud Caesar, between
Cleopatra aud young Octavius, Koine forgot all
about Areldas, the poet. Archias had had his
day, that day which does not shine twice for
most mortals. I’oetry glittering with genius
ami novelty shone with unexpected flanuswhcu
the empire was established, and the unfashion
able poets were relegated to forgetfulness. The
now poets who look Archias’ place were Vir
gil, Horace, Propertius and Tibullus. A few
days before Augustus and before Maecenas, and
a few days alter the death of Horace, the poet
Aiehias expired in solitude and silence. Even
hii> next iloor neighbors knew not who he was.
lie died the death of tile true poet, and his land
loid levied on the wretched furniture, which was
everything Ids humble tenant possessed. '1 he
auction sale was confided to one Viillieius Me
n:u, who was likewise a tiny of fortune. Phil
ippi*, a great Roman lawyer, a man of linn
ant gem roiis mind, was returning home one
simmer’s day about 3 o’clock, saying to hirn
sclf age had already greatly increased the dis
taire between the Forum and the Carina. As
he went Ins way lie noticed in a barber’s shop
a nan new-shaved, quietly cleaning ids finger
nails will) a small knife. Me said to his slave,
“Demetrius, go find out who that man is,
wkence lie comes, if he he rich, free or a citi
zen” Demetrius went, returned and replied,
“llis name is Vulleitis Menas, he is an auc
tioneer and seller of old furniture by trade; lie
has not much money, hut he has a stainless
name. He works hard and rests himself. He
(eras money and it freely. lie lives like
agood neighbor among people of his rank in
lie. He is not averse front the theatre, and
when the day’s labors une over, he is not the
list man who goes to the Campos Martins.”—
Thereupon lawyer Philippns, a little jealous of
iliat easy happiness, invited good man Vulteius
Menas to dine with him. In the course of a
week they became quite well acquainted, and
Philippns carried hint to his country seat. A
month afterwards Philippus bought a little farm
and gave it. to him. The year hud not ended
when poor Vulteius Menas, lean and bent dou
ble, abandoned rural happiness, and made haste
to return to town and reopen his auctioneer’s
shop. Phe first transaction in which Vulteius
Menus (to his great delight, once more an auc
tioneer,) was employed was to sell poor Arch
ias’ furniture. Vulteius Menas had become
unused to the sight of Hie secret misery of
men while living on such intimate terms
with Philippns, (whose house was open to
him as his own), and when it became ne
cessary to inventory the rent mantles, the
ripped togas, the worn-out medals, of the
poor wretcli Cicero had called his friend,
Vulteius Menas became sad unto death. “Alas!”
said lie, “I saw my friend Philippus’ fortune
allied with the honors of eloquence, and I came
near dying of the tnonotoness of life. To-day
I see the poverty and wretchedness of the poet’s
life, and I know not if I sliall earn my day’s ex
penses!” Nevertheless, he began to challenge
bids from the Roman inob for this lot or that
lot of trash left by the dead man ;a cracked cup
Os Evaiuler’s days, a copy of Cicero’s lie Ojfii iis
made by the dead poet himself, a volume con
taining the fourth book of the AUncid, another
tilled with Ovid’s Art of Love. Besides these
there were some questionable curiosities, vffiieli
Archias had received in exchange for his
epilhalatnia and his canticles in praise of the
emperor. Some letters were sold which Urn;
the seal of Torquatus or of Bpiilutitis, or of
■ Vinius Asina. Lastly came the most valuable
object of the sale —a bed whoso slabs were halt
broken, whose three legs were maimed, whose
head-hoard was all cracked and worm-oateu, the
mattress was of shapeless wool and as hard as
stone, the bedclothes were well-nigh worn out,
and a goat’s skin lay tossed by chance upon
this wretched couch. ’Twus the goat’s skin
Mclibwtis, the shepherd, dragged after him, and
abandoned on a sterile rook. ’Twas most
mournful to see! You would not have hid a
slave sleep on those uneasy planks! The
auctioneer cried : “Who will give me two oboli
for tills handsome bed V” and as lie spoke he
secretly thought even that would lie an obolus
too much.
Ncvcrtliless two obli were bid. He was about
to knock it down, when a voice in the crowd
cried, “I bid a hundred talents!" Vulteiuß
Menas became alarmed, he thought himself the
butt of some practical joker; but then this un
expected bidder seemed as serious as could be.
Vulteius Mimas began to cry a hundred talents.
Thereupon a second bidder cried, “ Two hun
dred talents!” In fine, this wretched conch,
or rather this shameful mass of rags and tatters
rose from bid to bid until it reached one thou
sand talents. The spectators aud Vulteius
Menas himself thereupon imagined a treasure
must he concealed under these rags. The auc
tioneer cried, “ A thousand talents 1” At the
same instant two plain litters drew near ; in the
first one could catch a glimpse of the Emperor
Augustus, easily recognized by his profile paled
by protracted vigils. In the second lay ex
hausted by fever and other diseases, the dying
Maecenas. The two litters came together and
the throng respectfully stood aside. Then
Maecenas said to the Emperor: “ What, Lord !
’tis yon who arc iny rival ? Eternal gods!
what charms can this wretched couch have in
your eyes ? ” Augustus replied : “ Alas ! sleep
I cannot; sleep lias wholly abandoned me ;
if at times I doze a moment, I see in fear
ful dreams all the victims of my proscrip
tions ! Sometimes Cicero’s ghost rises before
me, saying: ‘Remember the triumvirate I’
Then 1 sec his eloquent head hung on the
tribune, and our rostri look astounded that
such should he the horrible recompense
of the father of his country. Then quite
undone hy remorse and seeking, let the price
be what it. may, a little forgetfulness aud quiet
slumber, I thought perchance I might find them
on this lowly bed, whose wretched master,
though poverty-stricken and forsaken hy all,
slept soundly stark-naked in lus dirt, and
therefore, I bid for it.” M weens] replied in a
low tone —“ Lord, you should not make in a
public square these melancholy confessions of
the sorrows of power. Besides, do not the
glory and majesty of your reign absolve your
past career ? But I, too, am bereft of sleep—l
who am hut your follower in that path, who
applauded yonr least caprices, who was your
lawful counselor, who became the accomplice
and the flatterer of your most deplorable days
I ant forsaken hy sleep. There is not a night
of all these nights—earth’s last nights to me!—
which is inst full of terrors. You feel regret
1 am stung l.y remorse, and therefore I sought
to purchase Ilia abandoned nnd miserable bed
of poor Archias, that in it I might tasto one
hour of sleep !”
iliesi! explanations exchanged, the master and
tlie courtier were borue away in their litters
and soon disappeared around the street corner.
Good Volteius Menas, who did not clearly un
derstand tiie incident which had occurred, be
gan to bawl : “ A thousand talcuts—<*oing ”
At this cry the crowd burst into a Homeric
laugh, and that wretched mass of rags and rub
bish which had attained so high a price fell
once more to two oboli. But the bidder who
first ottered this sum of money had had time
to repent of his offer, aud Archias’ bed re
mained on file auctioneer’s hands.

The many friends of Mrs. Ford in this city
will be pleased to learn other success in Koine,

of a recent entertainment—tableaux and. con
cert —given by her pupils.
We must congratulate the young ladies upon
the success of the evening’s entertainment, and
upon their good fortune In securing the assist
ance of such valuable adepts as Mrs. Branham,
Mrs. Dunlap, Messrs. Veal, Ilall and Dunlap,
and Masters John and Josie IVmtup ; all of
which is no “ Inconsiderate consideration.”
We noticed in the audience, Col. W. M. Wad
ley, ot Savannah, and Asher Ayre, Esq., ol
Macon—both having daughters in the school.
We also had the agreeable pleasure of meet
ing onr esteemed Iriend, D. Redmond, Esq., of
Augusta, familiar to the people of Georgia as
former editor of that sterling agricultural
journal, the Southern Cultivator. Miss Neely
Redmond, his daughter, known to be one of
the most accomplislmd ladies of Middle Geor
gia, was educated at Mrs. Ford’s school, and
for which her father, no doubt, still feels a
grateful homage due.
As this school is one of the established insti
tutions of our city, we propose, byway of con
cluding this article, to give a brief account of
the admirable manner in which things are con
ducted here, and the facilities afforded the
young ladies of our city for obtaining a thorough
education. %
We have known Mrs. P’ord’a school by repu
tation, for several years, and will say that some
of the most finely educated young ladies of
Georgia are its graduates, aud are indebted to
this estimable lady for their laurels. Mrs.
Ford had always employed, and still employs
in her school, a corp of the most competent
professors and teachers, and lias-neither spared
either labor or expense in her efforts to main
fain a female seuiiuary of the very highest or
der. The most admirable system of discipline
and harmony of classification pervades every
department, and the, taste and skill displayed
iu conducting the affairs of the school afford
the moat complete evidence of the proficiency
of the lady at its head.
MifvFord’s school is not, particularly speak
ing, a™ Episcopal Institution. The principal
is a member of the Episcopal church, and con
ssqnenlly opens her school with that service.
Scholars from abroad, in order to be constant
ly under the supervision of the teacher, arc re

scholars, or day scholars as they are termed,
are dismissed every evening at 5 o’clock, and
attend divine service wherever it best suits the

Ib.X I’b ACTS FROM LETTERS: -‘The Queen’s
I’eli/lil is l.e. inning to awaken the attention ot our
I’hyeiei ilia its remarks tile curative power is seen In
its wothleri'ul effect upon ilisease As a Mood purifier,
there Is no nieilieine like it known to the profession.
A gentleman told me that his son has been taking the
Queen’* Delight, arid is n ore henefitted hy it than by
any ottn-i in.-.iicitie. He amts a dozen bottles.”
Extract from a letter: "it is due to you to state, in
this public manner, in order that tlie peop e may know
the ti utli, that 1 have tried your Queen’s Delight, and
found it not only what you said it was - 1 a pure medi
cine’—but tlie best medicine 1 have ever taken for
eruption* and general had health. I had an eruption
all over my body, with impaired digestion and disor
dered fiver, ami have tried a great many* medicines
without any benefit. I have taken one bottle of your
Queen's Delight, the eruption Inis disappeared, my
nppetl e is better, my liver and digestion is improved.
1 am satisfied one or two more hot ties will cure me.’*
Extract from a letter: “At tlie close of tlie war my
constitution was shuttered, f could not eat, sleep or
perform any duty whatever, such was my prostrate
condition. Medicine and medical aid I had in abund
ance—such was iny condition up to a few months since,
when I began the use of your Queen’s Delight. I have
’ used two bottles, my constitution is greatly improved,
my appetite is good, enjoy refreshing steep, and am
able to perform my share of daily tabor.”
Extract iron) a letter—wonderful effect of only one
bottle: “I have used on'y a half bottle of ‘Queen’s
Delight’ for boils and eruptions of the skin and Itch
ing humors of the blood, which annoyed me very
much. lam entirely cured. I think your medicine a
valuable one.”
A remarkable ease ot liver complaint and headache
cured by tlie use of “ Hoinitsb’s Queen’s Delight:” A
lady ol unquestioned worth and reputation voluntarily
gives testimony of the wonderful effects of this medi
cine. Hhe ins been from early years a martyr to head
aches, caused by imperfect action of tlie liver, produc
ing intense headache and pain over tlie eyes. She has
taken only four bottles, and assures us of the perfect
cure it lias made. She now enjoys good health.
Still another: “During last Spring I had been
troubled with obstinate chills and fever, which, when
cured, left my system ill a wretched condition- blood
impure, and 1 was afflicted with an angry, and, as I at
one time thought, an incurable cutaneous eruption
over my entire body. Tlie most violent remedies sug
gested failed to woik a cure, until, at the instance of a
friend, 1 tried Dr. Ileinitsli's Queen’s Delight. Less
than two bottles cured me, leaving my skin in u healthy
eon lit ion. My general health is os good hs ever. For
sin li purposes 1 have, ever since my cure, unhesita
tingly recommended your Queen’s Delight.”
Don’t buy any hut the right kind. All genuine
Queen's Delight has the copy-right murk on tlio out
side, and it is tlie only medicine which produces these
wonderful cures.
