H he president is dead, find J reokon the
.nation had better do like King David
b!n .be lost his xhild get up ond wash
iier face und think of something else. It's
all very bad and very sad, I know, but
there are thousands of homes in this happy
land where death was a. visitor ut the bt'
same hour, and the grief was as great for
Jhe, loved and lost. There is a skeleton in
,6T:ry closet, and death bus nailed bis sign
Aver every door, and it -has seemed to me
from my own experience that when such a
.trouble came I wanted it all to, ay self and
y Jiuuily, and the less the fuss and parade
.and ceremoiiV about it the better. There
,is a kind of sweet consolation for death in
(the household when we cau slwtit in and
iook out the world, and huve the misery all
to ourselves. Even the three friends of Job
were considerate' enough to set afar off in
respectful silence for several .days, "for
Umy saw that his grief was great." A
ation in tears is a very grand and affecting
tableau if there is something grand and
affecting to cry about, but there is n
sense in overdoing the thing. I don't know
what Mr. Ciai field has clone us a stuteeman,
a soldier, or a patriot, .more than ten
thousand other men. I don't know what
notable thing would justify us in saying as
Duvid did of Job, a great inun has fallen
this day in Israel. Not many moths ago I
know he was denounced ub abud man and
dangerous to the welfare of the country.,
I didn't believe it then, and 1 can't see the
propriety of denouncing a man as a devil
while he lives and adorning .him as a saint
when he is dead. I wish ouii people would
pit the like of that. It destroys confidence
mud keeps up political strife QiJ bitten ess. '
J don't know much about Mr1 Arthur, and
1 don't care il I don't, I'm not afraid of
him. If he can dome any harm, 1 can't
free it. Jf fit' is goiiig to t ut up and abuse
o down south, we can abuse him just as
iad. He cau 'I run over congress's much,
ior defy the will of the nation which. will
is now for peach i.id harmony and co
operation. I believe. Mr. Garfield was u:
better man and a greater man, but the
death of one man, however great, .can't
stop the wheels' of government from rolling
ob i nor brine a shock to its acustomed
notion. A government that stood the (est
of four years' war, and the asBase nation of
Mr. Lincoln, (peace to his memory) end
the election frauds of Mr. Hayes can stand
anything and it doesent mailer at all
whether Mr. Arthur was bora in the
United States or Canada or the Feejee
Wands, it's all the same. The constitution
is a sort of India-rubber thing anyhow,
: and can accommodate itself to circum
stances sorter like our " in Ucorgla llmt
lias tolerated two sessions in a year, and I
reckon we'll huve a third to redutnet the
state. Let's jvait and see what Mr. Arthur
dou before we pitch into him. If he is a
good-hearted man he is a coward, sod
won't dare to defy us ; so let him rip
along. As Cobe soys, we will all krow by
waiting.
My wife and children arc well, my corn
is pretty good, my cattle are fat, and the
barn is full of hay. My n'ibors are kind,
and Sunday comes once a week as usual
eo let him rip.
What w the matter with the people any
how. Some folks are killing one another
for little or nothing and some are killing
themselves. When I was a boy I never,
hardly ever, hecrd Of a suicide. It was
considered a most extraordinary circum
f land, We lead about em over io France
and wondered that there was such a people.
It's an every day affair with as now. FoUi

I dont understand it and it worries me. I
was a talking with Judge Underwood
about it and says- he, solemnly, " Hill

pon I've seen a eight of trouble and aggra.

to see whether I killed myself or not. but
go at "nee and hunt for the feller tha done

with the men f There are no suicides among
the women. Well, there is one now and
then at long intervals and they are always
dro ,n drowned in a well or a mill pond.
Nobody er heard of one using inz r,
or a pistol, or a rope. When a poor
woman kills herself thje wants to hide. Ol

or a pistol, bat she might 4iaag heraelf.
reckon sli is afraid somebody will see her
in a disheveled condition. The record-i set
down ten men to one woman as suicides,
and so I reckon il must be on account of
whisky or disappointed ambition in making
money or nwuesing riches. Women ure
not concerned in such things. They are
wrnpt up in raising children, and they love
'em too good to leave 'em. Domestic
pleasures have a tendency to calm the mind
and keep it well balanced. Kvery day
brings its care and trouble, but it brings
Its comforts and pleasures too. There
nothing like living for a day : that is by
the day and for the day. Blessings on the
man or woman who gets up in the morning
resolved to get as much happiness before
night as possible, Enjoy the day. Be
content. Don't be always hankering after
socjethiog afar off, that may never come
Don't deal too fpuch in futures- I don't
mean of course, for a man to be like the
average nigger who takes no thought for
the morrow, but there is a middle ground
to occupy. Some men say they are work
ing for their children. They are straining
themselves day and nielil for their children
Well, that is a lie. They are working to
gratify their own ambition. If they thought
as much about their children as they ought
to they would pay eai more attention
They would stay with cm more and talk
to emjuore
Speaking about the indifference of the
niggers reminds me or my good naoor
Freeman, lie has a lot of nigger tenants,
and after being gone from home a few
weeks, he came back and found every ras
cal of em gone iff to meeting. When they
returned snys he : " What you been to
meeting for, boys ?" " Well, boss, we is
been dar to pray." " Pray for what?'
said he, " Well, boss, we know it's most
too late in de season to pray for rain, for
de crop is dun gone up, but we been pray
for de Saviour to put us all thro' de win
ter." " Well, dat Bint hit adzackly," said
another one. " We goes to meetin' to fix
for de nrt world. You white folks done
got dis one, and if we can squeeze in ahead
of you on de mxt we is gwine to do it,
dat's lill." Nabor Freeman says it won't
be a month before them darkies will be
trying to make a saviour of him, for he
has carried 'em all the year while they
were running rover the country and going
to preaching.
v Calvin Lewis has quit his crop and
taken to the pulpit says lie henrd de'fird
call hint while he was in df field, and Uncle
Tod, 'says he : " Calvin dat is a lie if you
hear anybody call you it was.de devil, and
you is sendin round de bat for, him every
night, and dese niggers round here is quit
wnrkin, and some of em is gwine to school
dut ort to be in de cotton patch ; and de
next thing a school nigger do is to quit de
country and go to town, and de next thing
is to steal something aod get in the chain

whats de matter. Dese white folks knows
eizackly whar an edicated nigger is gwine

good jit. You can't make sheep meat out
of coon or chicken out of crow. I don't
care what you feed 'em on." Uncle Jeff
ays these young niggers will have to be
long to somebody yet or quit de country.

TAKES IN.
Uncle Pleasant Uatkins, of Richmond,
Va., is sixty and his wife seventy-two years
old. The other day a friend said : "Uncle
Fleas? nt, why io the mischief did you
marry a woman nearly old enough to be
your mother ?" And this is the way he
explained it : "You see, bo ," be replied
with a sigh, "I was wurkio for Long John
Freeman in Hanover, when I was jest 18.
and Susan Ann Buss, old Mrs. Russ's
eldest daughter, was thirty if she wur a

TRUST YOUR WIFE,
A man who has mode a few hundred
dollars e'ear of his business was afraid to
id vest it, and equally afraid to tell his wife
he had such a sum. Bo he bit upon the ex
pedient of hiding the wallet which con
taint d it in an unused parlor stove, and
feeling- sure that r.o one would molest it,
went about his business with the feeling
that it was safe.
But one day hie wife made a fire in the
stove to burn up an accumulation of rub
bish, ond, happening to mention the fact
to her husband, was astonished to see bim
jump up and mn round like one possessed
" You have ruined me, ruined me J" he
shrieked. " All the savings I had were
hidden in that stove. Oh, what idiots wo
men are !"
" I think yon acted more like en idiot,"
answered his wile calmly, '' first in not tell
ing me you had the money, next in putting
it in such a place. Had yon trusted me
that money would now be out on invest
ment instead of being burned op."
The man wrung his bands and groaned
and made life a burden to himself aod fam
ily, until he finally quieted down and ac
knowledged that he had no one to blame
but himself. Then bis wife gave him a
bankbook with the amount he bad lost
credited to him.
" It was just by the merest chance that
I found the wallet," she said, " and then I
felt hurt and indignant to think you could
not have trusted me with even u knowledge
of your savings. If I am not fit to re
ceive your confidence, I am not fit to be
your wife."
Peace was restored and it is safe to sur
mise that the husband never again failed
to trust his wife.
Women, especially those who have had
ittle contact with the world of business,
are not unfnquentty gifted with larae in
stincts, which give them a quick insight
into business matters. No man who has a
proper appreciation of bis wife will sell a
cow or a horse off bis (arm without con
sulting ber. No merchant will buy a stock
of dry goods without exchanging ideas
with the partner of his life ; trust your
wife, not feebly and with restrictions, but
fully, in whole measure. It is said that men
are what their mother's make them. Many
a man who has gone down into the depths
wpatd have been saved from moral and
femporal disaster if he had only trusted
his wife ; not in the day of adversity, but
n the day of prosperity. "Sho! What do
wimmin know aboul business ?" says some
Solon to his household. Not much exper
imentally, it may be, but as the most dis
astrous failures are always made by men,
it may he possible a woman . might at least
have a position as look-out on the ship to
signal " danger ahead." The men who have
become famous in the wot Id have always
relied upon the judgment of their wives. A
French writer savs that when a man has
toiled step by step np a long flight of stairs
be will be sure to fbd a woman at tfe top.
Tlu man who distrusts hia wifa'n intelli
gence is to be pitied. The man who iguores
it as beneath bis dignity is a fool.
THE WORK OF J HE HEART.
An English writer says : We may form
some conception of the enormous energy of
the human heart when we reflect that a
good climber can ascend only 9,000 feet in
nine hours, tbat is, of course, continuously
for any length of time, while the, work
done by the heart is equivalent to raising
its own weight (ten ounces) 13.8G0 feet
high. Aid we may put this even more
strikingly by pointing out the most power
ful eugineevei made by man, the "Bavaria"
locomotive of the Vienna and Trieste rail
way, can only raise iUelf through 2,700
feet in an hour ; tbat is, its energy is less
than oue-Sfth of that of the human heart.
Of courte the actual amount of work done
by both engine aod climber is much
greater than tbat done by the heart ; but
relative to weight the energy of the heart
far exceeds tbat of the other two.

GOOD MANNERS.
It is a mistake to regard manners as
something external or distinct from the na
ture, to be put on or taken off ut will. The
bearing to which we mslinctly accord re
speet is the outward blossoming of an in
ward growtn, and bears the same relation
to character that the flower docs to the
plant, not absolutely necessary to its exist
ence, but a graceful expression of internal
qualities which give it strength and vigor
Some foreigner once said of Abraham
Lincoln that be was a grand gentleman in
disguise.
In him the outward expression, though
far removed from a Chesterfieldian polish
was still eo true to qualities to which the
world accords its highest respect that it be
came a good manner of its own, and thus
proved the truth of the assertion in regard
to growth.
A fine manner presupposes a certain
force of character and firmness of purpose
which invest the owner with composure
and self-respect. A eertaiu equipoise
which enables him to possess bis soul in
peace, where a mind that is not so ballast
ed goes careering about to every breeze, a
source of discomfort to itself and all who
behold it. It also presupposes a Kind heart
and a quick sympathy for others. There
are native characteristics wanting which a
smooth exterior is of little real value. Shall
we not then cultivate good manners ? May
we not ucquire a gentle courteous demean
or to which we may not haye been bom?
Most assuredly, but unless we conform to
the law of development just expressed, we
shall achieve no success worthy of the
name. Let us suppose a harsh vindictive
nature assuming the gentle manner of one
who feels aod lives unselfishly.
In a moment of forgetfulness, and Euch
moments will come, the mask drops tff and
discloses the real man that lives behind it.
For those who behold the disclosure there
is to possibility of forgetfulness, and for
them the mask will not ooly fail to do its
work, but will produce a sense of incon
gruity that will give absolute discomfort.
Duplicity never succeeds to any great ex
tent. A greater amount of thought and
force must be given than with a higher
motive would be necessary to insure the
genuine feeling whose outward expression
we desire. If we feel kindly we shall act
kindly.
MEN WHO MAKE JOURNALISM.
It has been remarked that very few men
who "ct into journalism start out with
such intention. They drift in accidentally,
arc prompted as they develop capacity.
Money, wealthy parents and iuflueuce are
of no sort of service in getting a young
man a place on a newspaper. There is no
business tbat is so entirely independent of
all these considerations as this. A wealthy
father can easily get bis son a location to
read law or medicine, or push him forward
in almost any rank in life be may select ;
but be IS llttPrlji ruMsartpaa tn (tn onuthinfi
for him in a journalistic way. To be jure
be may buy a newspaper, aud set him up
in that way, but unless there is something
in him called "journalistic knack," a natural
knowledge of what to write aud how to
write it, he will be a failure in that line,
and all the money and influence of wealth
and perhaps powerful relatives will count
for nothing. Some fond parents educate
their sons with the special view of making
journalists of them ; but it is rare that we
hear of these young men afie a few yeurs.
Meanwhile, some youth born among fhe
hills, having nothing .more than a common
school education, and the knowledge scraped
up in a couutry printing office, will advance
to the fiont rank in the profession. He
has Ihe journalistic knack, and forces
recognition because he has it. He gets
into a good posjUon, not because he has
wealthy pareuts to influence the proprietors
of leading newspapers, but because he
knows what to jf rite and how to write it.
His articles go io because they supply a
demand, while perhaps the elaborate essays
of a man educated on two continents are
cast into the waste basket.
Men arc as cold as
hot as fire to falsehood.

BALTIMORE'S LAST SENSATION.
The Supponed Dead llutband Return to
lAfe a Reformed Man and ILLrli Mer
chant A SurprUed and Happy H le.
Baltimore Special to the N. Y. Herald.
Particulars have reached Baltimore of
an exceedingly interesting and romantic
case in Wilmington, Delaware. Thomas
Patterson, brother of United States Dis
trict Attorney Patterson, who disnppeared
from Baltimore after bidding his young
and lovely wife adieu some fifteen years
ago, and was long supposed to have been
dead, has appeard at Grand Rapids, Mich
igan. 'Mrs. Potterson is the daughter of
Mr. E. L. Rice, Jr., a wealthy citizen of
Wilmington. Patterson's absence, after
saying "good-bye" to his wife, was unex
plained until bis relatives read in a news
paper the description of an unknowo man
who had been found dead in Erie, Pa.
The body was subsequently identified by
a brother of Patterson as that of the missing
man, tbe letters T. P. in India ink on his
arm being to him sonclusive evidence. Tbe
body was interred in the family lot in
Wilmington, and tbe tomb cared for and
adorned with flowers, which were tenderly
watered by the tears of the supposed
widow. The discoveries just made show
tbat Patterson, after falling into disrepu
table habits, went to Texas nnd was cap
tured by the Indians. He subsequently
escaped and made his way to Michigan,
where he amassed a comfortable fortune.
A short time ago Mrs. Patterson, who stil
resides with her parents in "ffiiuituniuu,
was surprised lo receive an envelope bear
ing the postmark of V, rand Bapids, and at
ouce recognized the handwriting of her
husban I. Tbe discovery at first seemed
like a dream, but when the seal was broken
and she hurriedly glanced at the signature
her tond hopes were ful y realized. It
conveyed the joyful intelligence that' -Mr.
Thomas Patterson is a prosperous mer
chat of a large city in Michigan; the
communication further stated that the
writer had years ago discarded all his bud
habits, was leading the exemplary life of
an honest, temperate man, and tbat by
strict attention to business he had accumu
lated u fortune. It is understood that he
willl reteirn to Wilmington. Mrs. Patter
son is still u beautiful womun, and has bad
many suitors for her hand since the sup
posed death of her husband, all of whom,
of course, sho declined.
HOW. TO TREAT RROIllERS.
Girls, be kiud to ycur brother?. Don't
be afraid you will spoil them by showing
them plenty of sisterly atteution. They are
tiresome chaps sometimes, consequential
and over-bearing, treating their sisters like
inferior beings. But nevermind that, girls;
carry with you the two bears bear and
forbear. The consequential age generally
passe8eff with the growth of the incipient
moustache, and when real manhcod dawns
upon them, they will realize bow gentle and
kind their sisters have been. Make home
jjicttaui iu u.eui ; ili inetn see auu teeiyou
enjoy their company sometimes equally as
well as that of some other girl's brother.
If you siug or play ou the piano, do your
best lor brother Will or Bob, or w atever
his name may be, aud reward bim with a
smile when he turns over your music or
gives up his Feat to you. j'.ist as you would
any other gentleman. Lay aside your work
or book to Lave a pleasant chat or iono
cent game with your brother; draw out of
him with whom and where he spcuds his
evenirirs outside of the family circle. En
courage him to speak of his a;Sociutes. A
sister often has more influecce w ith a
brother tl an a parent. If he can confide
iu bis sister regarding bis friends aud
amusemtnts, you need have no fear of how
be spends his time away from you. Let
him see that you take an interest in his
studies or his business When he uks'you
to sew ou a button or mend his glove, don't
put on an aggrieved air.; do it cheerfully,
willingly. He will reward you in bis secret
heart with a wealth of brotherly love,
though lie prny uot show it, for some think
it unmanly lo elisplay uXection. Treat bis
friend j with politeness, even if thry are cot
your sty le. Throw all the safe guards you
possibly can around your young brothers,
by sisterly kindness and forbearance. Try
to make home the happiest and dearest
place on earth. InlcHifzt'iKcr.
