From Raleigh Sentine?. Poor Women. There is something closely akin to true eloquence in the following1, cut irorn tne Nation: There is probably nothing, not even the sack of a stormed city, wmcn brines out devilish and urn mal parts of some men's nature as the unchecked control of another human being's person and feelings does. There are thousands of poor women in tniscity, witnout mends or hope in this world, who have to listen every night to the ravings. p.nd bear the blows and tortures of tyrannical Insists, compared to whom Walworth M-as harmless, and decent, and merciful; and yet the world knows nothing of their sorrows, unless when, no w and then. some unlucky blow terminates their misery and their life together, and thousands of others pass their lives in higher stages or the same hell. What is the remedy for thi3 state of things, except the general elevation or human nature, it would be hard to say. Legal remedies few people win care to discuss who seriously consider me condition or a woman whose youth and health have been passed in bearing children, and who has to face life without heart, or nope, or training for any call in by which money may be made, an whose nearest friend has turned into one of those fiendish enemies by whom no male human being Is ever pursued In civilized society. In his speech before the Southern Historical Society at White Sul phurbprings, the unreconstructed old "Jube" gratefully "surren dered" to woman after the follow ing characteristic fashion : TW SS . -m lie nau been cailea a woman hater; it arose from the fact of his being opposed to ladies following tne camp. A hey were to an army what , Caesar called impedimenta mis was me miruest way to put it. . He thought the true, place of wo man was at home, praying ana working for the soldiers, and not running around the camps. lie had called to see General Lee on one occasion, and rushing: into his tent without warning, .found there two ladies, lie fell bfttt in not a verv orderly manner, and General Lee told him that he said to another officer, ,'Mv God, is the command ing General demoralized V General Lee sent for him and introduced him to his fair companions, and said : "These are two of my daugh ters ; I have a great many, daugh ters, and feeling a fatherly affection for theers-X do not wish them to be running about camp unprotected; I therefore appoint you and General Edward Johnson to escort them !" It must be confessed, said General Early, "1 skulked!" lie thought a married woman ought to be an autocrat in her own house, and they were not good wives, unless they managed their husbands. " When married a wo man should take charge of the bri die reins, but not hold them too tight, or they might break, or irri tate, out oniy enougn to keep a proper check. Whenever he went to a house where a woman had to ask her husband everything, he was not comfortable. A woman should always be the master at home. He admired high temper in woman; true steel was alwavs nigniy tempered out not snappish. in isoo, wnne in command, a number of ladies wanted nassoorts. TV . A S - . tie cueu one case.

(I pledge you my word sne weighed LU0 pounds.) lurning to his assistant, he said, "Give her a pass." Would you believe it, she was worse mad with me for cutting off her story. than if I had refused her the pass ? bnortiy afterward three ladies came in for passes. He asked the nrst why she wanted to go through the lines. She wished to go to her nomein Winchester. Of course I gave it that was the proper place for her. The other two ladies wanted to go home with her. For what? "Oh. to stay a little while." And get a littlo finery, bonnets ano nxmgs:" Alter awhile thev coniesseo tney wanted to get a few things, lie knew their father, an estimable gentleman, who lived in Charlottesville.

Turning to his ' " The Wishing Ringv ' And How it Brought Good Luck - its Owner. ! lUi 'i it to A young farmer, whose farming did not prosper particularly well, was sitting resting on his plow" for a moment as he wiped his brow, when an old witch crept np tdliim and said: "Why do you .ton so hard, and all for nothing? Walk straight before for two days and you will come ' to a large fir tree, which stands alone, towering over all other trees of the forest. ; . If you can fell it your fortune is made." u.ne farmer did not wait to be told twice, bntl taklnghis ax on his shoulder, started on his way. After walking two days he came? t to the fir tree, and immediately set to work to fell it. Soon " if toppled and crashed ; to the earth, " when from the top branches-dropped a nest containing two eggs. The eggs rolled on the ground and broke ; as hey broke, forth came a young ea glet from one, and a small golden ring from' the - other; vTh' eaglet grew visibly, till 4 1 reached half tb? hewhtora.raan,.snosfiia, wings. its if to try them, raised itseii irom the ground, and then cried : "lou nave released me ! as a token ormy gratitude take the ring the other egg contained it is a wishing-ring. Turn it on your finger, speak your wish aloud, and 1 will immediate ly be granted. But the ring has on ly one wish ; when, that, is accom plished it will - lose all power and become no more than any other ring. Therefore .reflect well: on what you wish for, so that you may not have to repent afterward.'! . .. Having so spoken the eagle rose high in the air, swept, for some time, in wido circles over the far-i mer's head, and then, like an . ar row from a bow shot swiftly toward the east. The farmer took the ring, put it on his ringer and started homeward. Toward . evening he reached a town. At the door of his shop a goldsmith stood who had many valuable rings for sale.

Those who think that tn order to dress well, it is necessary to dress extravagantly or grandly, make a great mistake. .Nothing so well becomes true feminine beautv as simplicity. - We have seen many a remaritaDiy nne person roDDed- of its true effect by being over dressed. Nothing is more unbecoming than overloading beauty. The stern simplicity of the classic tastes is seen in the old statues and pictures painted oy men 01 superior artistic genius. In Athens, the ladies were not gaudily, but simply arraved. and we doubt whether any ladies ever excited more admiration. So also the noble old Roman matrons, whose superb forms were gazed on delightedly by men worthy of them, were always very plainly dressed. Fashion often presents the hues 01 tne Dutterny, but fashion is not a classic goddess. George D. JVerttice. officers, he said bet on!" The next year in a battle at Win chester, the one in which General Lilly lost his arm that night the battle-field being in charge of neith er army a number of ladies from the town came out to administer to the wants of the wounded and dy ing. Among these, was Randolph Ridgley, severely 'wounded, and these young ladies had no means of carrying away from the held the wounded, and while the others went back to town to get some ve hicle, this same young lady staid there in the dark night, adminis tering to the wounded Confeder ates. Ridgley afterwards got well. In 1S63, when going into Penn sylvania and near Winchester, it became necessary to dislodge the enemy irom the town, and they were marching around the town so as to get possession of the hills commanding it, when turning a curve in the road they came upon a little girl 13 years of age on horse back with a large bundle of miscel laneous goods tied up before her and her little brother behind her. When she saw them she was at first fright ened, but on discovering the gray color, she pulled off her bonnet and hurrahed! She had been sent from her home by her parents because the enemy were throwing shells into their house, and not knowing of the approach of the Confederates, they supposed the shells were thrown out of maliciousness. "You." said the General, "have no idea of the effect of that little girl on the soldiers, but her influence was felt that evening when we captured between 3.UUU and 4.U00 prisoners. 200 or 300 wagons and over 20 pieces nf orf illaTO In 1864, in passing a lady's house near Charleston, she was standing at the gate, and he said to her.

This cirl asked him what was about the val ue 01 it. . "Mere trumpery," answered the goldsmith. The farmer laughed heartily, telling the man it was a wishing-ring and of . more value than all the rings in his shop put to gether. JSow the goldsmith was a false, designing man, so he . invited the farmer to stay all night at his house, saying: "It must bring one good luck to entertain a man who is the possessor of such a precious jewel, so pray remain with me." He accordingly entertained him well with plenty of wine and civil words, but when he went to sleep at night he drew his ring stealthily from his finger and put on it in stead a common ring quite like it in appearance. The next morning the goldsmith could hardly wait, with any degree of patience, till the farmer had taken his departure. He awoke him in the early dawn, saying: "lou nave so far to go, you had better start early." as soon as the farmer was safe on his journey the goldsmith went into his room, and, having shut tbe shutters that no one might see, he bolted himself in, and standing in the middle of tha room, and turn ing the ring on his finger, exclaim- 'I wish to ha vealiuritlred 'thou- snnd silver crowns Immediately." Hardly were the words spoken ; i And bo thetelCer. was allowed to rest for tne piwoii R really seem ed that me rmgf brought blessings on the houseXnr.narns and grana ries grew, fuller and fuller from year to year ; andjWurse of time, the poor rararet ihj u ricn and pros perous one. worgea an day with his men as if the whole world was dependent upon it ; but in the evening, , wnen. tne , vesper bell sounded, he was alwavs to h sitting, contented and well-to-do, at nis tnresnoMi, w uu wisnpn f iruvt evening'f by tbe passers-by. Now ana men,, wnen tney were ouite aioue nun "o w enr 10 near, the woman still reminded her husband ot the ring; ana made all snrf nf oroposluons :to. nim. . He alwavs answered there was time enough to think about it, and that tha hoc Ideas always occured to one last. So she gradually leu into the way of mentioning it less often, and at last rarely , happened that the ring was everanuaea to at all. The far mer, ft is trur", turned the ring on his finger twenty ''times a dv nd examined itcloecly, but took e-bod SWf ii Slightest wish ar. f hn i. . v?o a .i V. &ndWrty, year wentnjyV 'jmd the mruier anu nis wue grew old and their hair snow-white, and still the wish remained unspoken. At last it pleased God to show them a great mercy, and He took them to Him self both in one night. Children and grand-children stood weeping around the coffins, and, as one of them tried to withdraw the ring from the dead man's linger, his eld est son said : "Let our father take his ring to the grave . There was some mys tery, about it. Probably it, M as a love token, ior our mother often looked at the ring, too ; perhaps sne gave it to mm wnen they both were young." - . . So.the old farmer was buried with the ring which should have been a wishing-ring, but was not one, and yet had brought as much good luck to the house as man could desire. For it is strange, as regards the true and the false, but a bad thing can be turned to better account in good hands than a good thing in bad.

There is nothing more curious than the dominion some persons now and then establish over others perhaps a hundred times cleverer, warmer-hearted, more tractable, wiser than themselves. A sheer strength of will seems sometimes to count for more in the commerce of life than all the grace, and ac complishment, and study, and good intention in the world. One of the most important female qualities is sweetness, of temper. jieaven urn not give to women in sinuation and persuasion in order to be surly ; it did not make them weak in order to be Imperious; it did not give them a sweet voice to bo employed in scolding. One of the best puns ever made oy me late rncebe Uary' was this: " Why was Robinson Crusoe's man Friday like a rooster? Because he scratched for himself and Cru soe."

Calling piteously for help, he tried to rush to the door, but before he could reach it and unbolt it he fell bleeding to the ground. Still the rain of silver crowns did not cease, and soon, under the weight of it, the flooring gave way, and the un fortunate goldsmith and his money fell down into a deep celler. And still it rained on, till the hundred thousand silver crowns were com pleted, and then the goldsmith lay dead in his cellar, with the mass of money upon him. Attracted at last by the noise the neighbors rushed to the spot, and, on finding the goldsmith dead under his mon ey, exclaimed : "It really is a great misfortune, when blessings rain down like cudgels." Then the heirs came and divided the spoil. Meantime the farmer went hap pily home, and showed the ring to his wife. "We shall now never want for anything dear wife." he said ; "our fortune is made, nut we must con sider well what we must wish for." The wife had a bright idea ready at hand. "liet us wish ourselves some more land." said she ; "we have so little. There is just a nice strip which stretches in to our field. Let us wish ior that." "That would never be worth while," replied the husband ; "we have only to work well for a year and have a moderate share of good mck, ana we can buy it tor our selves." . . , And the man and his wife work ed hard for a whole year, and the harvest had never been so plentiful as that autumn, so they were not only able to buy the strip of land, but had money to spare.' . . 1- "Yon see, " said- the husband, "the- lands is Ours and the.-, wish XooPt.'h b evi ,i.v -r t i?-;j-f Then the good Woman ! thought it would 4e a capital thing 1 to wsih themselves a cow and a horse;' tWife," answered 'the Ihusband. again clinking the surplus money iii his poeket r "it would 'be folly to1 sacrifice our ! wish 1 for such " a trumpery thing.

So the man rubbed his hand cheerfully and said z ' "Another year has passed, and still the wish -is ours.-ximl yet we have all we want ; what good luck we have !" The wife, however. be.?an. to be very impatient,' and tried seriously to induce her husband to wish for something. . "You are not like vour old self she said crossly: "formerly, -ran were" always -grumbling and com plaining, and wishing for ail aorta of things ; and now, ? when you might have Whatever you want, you toil and work like a slare, are pleased with- everything.' ana let your best years slip by; You i night bo king, emperor, a great, ric. b. far mer wiui joaas ot money,' butno-- you-canai make 'up vour -mind what to choost.'

If superior beings regard the world, and are curious in the ob servation of character, how few in stances they will be able to discern of any vice, or virtue, or quality being thoroughly carried out! spiencuu . specimens of consistent cruelty amongst mankind, such as Judge Jeffries. But, for the most part, the characters of men are of a mottled description.

Ho was indeed a good knight, noble of heart and strong of purpose, and both a sol dier and gentleman'. The age that knew him,! if not the age of chival ry,, will yet be remarkable for hav ing produced in him a man as chi v alric as any that lives in history. He, too, was one, and the greatest one, of a goodly fellowship that was broken up and scattered about the world. Some of theseSouthern knights have gone before him, and with him departs the last remnant of the cause lor which theyt fought and the strength that so long up held it. In every particular he possessed the requisite i of a true soldier. He was brave; his whole' military rec ord and life-long scorn of danger alike bear testimony to his bravery. He was wise ; his successes against great odds, and his almost constant anticipation of the enemy's move ments, were proofs of his wisdom.

A wicked boy, whose Sunday rschool experience seems only to have made him more depraved, caught a fire fly and stuck it, by the aid of some mucilage, in the centre of the lar gest lens in the telescope. That night, when the astronomer went to work, he perceived a blaze of light apparently in the heavens, and, what amazed him more was, that it would give a couple ofspurts and then di out, only to burst forth again in a second or two. He examined it carefully for a few mo ments, and then began to do sums to discover where in the heavens -that extraordinary star was placed. , lie thought he found the locality, and "the next morning telegraphed all over the universe that he had discovered a new and remarkable star of the third magnitude in Ori on. In a day or two all the astron omers in Europe and America were studying Orion, and they- gazed at it for hours until they were mad, and then they .began, to telegraph to the man in Waninetnjto know what he meant.' The discoverer tookarir other look, and found that the new star had moved about eighteen bil lion miles in twenty-four hours,and upon examining closely he was alarmed to percieve that it had legs. . When he went up on the dome next morning to polish up his glass, he found the lightning bug. People down at Alexandria, seven miles distant, heard part of the swearing, and they say he infu sed into it whole.souled sincerity and vigorous energy. -The bills for telegraphic dispatches amounted to $2,600 and, now the astronomer wants to find that boy. He wants to consult with him about something.
