Pretty Pictures! For Old and
Toon; Children.
We have a little picture box in our sanctum.
It is six years since we began filling
it wilii the beautiful little pictures which
are so lovely to look upon. We arc tilling
it with pictures for leading members of tlic
Republican party?not John Brown or another
martyr, but for the sinister chap,
y who has all such burning lights of radicalism
in his warm keeping. If you want to
look in and see the happy family Photograph
Box, sit down here beside us. Oh !
There arc several of you in the partj* who
would sec ! Well stand a little back?
the pictures are so distinct they can easily
be seen?give u* room to point, and then
look.
Here is a Church. A meeting House.
A house of God, so called. Quiet, pretty,
attractive. Those birds flitting about arc
not swallows, but blackbirds with red wiugs.
The spire points Heavenward. The man
in black broadcloth and white choker is
the man of God?the pure, pcaee preaching,
mild, Christ converted, Christianity
teaching agent of the Most High, ordained
by prayer and purified by baptism to save
the souls of us poor sinners. He is a good
man?recruits for Heaven and reports directly
to his Commanding General. All
those men and women following him into
the House of God arc lauibs ot his fold?
loving Christians, purified from wickedness,
^ forgiven of sin, and believers on Him who
preached peace on earth and good will to
I all men.
JP But that minister is a liar. He is an
agent of the jailor of John Brown and all
other mnrtytcd prisoners, llis lambs arc
wolves in sheep's clothing. He preaches
hate. His lambs?his christian lambs
fumble their hymn books?callous their
knee pans, roll their closed eyes skywards,
shout "Amen J" and wad their Christian
gun with blood*bones and goods stolen froiu
their victims. How they reconcile their
religion with their polities, none but a ltepublican
can tell.
Here is a picture of a gentleman in
shoulder straps. He was a lover of the
late lamented, lie is one of the saviors
of his country, lie is sandwiched between
a loafing saloon and a pile of stolen goods,
but many of you might not notice all, so
beautiful does he look. His best hold is
iu not resembling any of the purtriotic
generals of the Revolution. That suit of
blue and those Btraps are the price o( the
man. The horse he is 011 was stolen from
his erring brothers The boxes piled up
P* by him are filled with spoons, plate, jewelry,
mementoes, &c., &.C., lound in the
[ homes of his brethren, ile votes the lib
I publican ticket, and clothes his wife in
stolen silks, while her daughter entertains
her company with music irorn a stolen
piano. Hut they arc all loyal.
Here is a man hanging to a tree, kicking
thin air, growing black in the fall, dying.
He is a wicked Democrat, lie
wouldn't love a nigger. The party about
him are members of that Church we saw
just now?all good Republican Christians,
on the way to roam, hand in hand, through
purgatory, and to follow the ghost of John
Brown as ho goes through hell with his
tramp, tramp, tramp !
Here is a man lying on the ground.
His brains are spattered over a wood pile
as at New Lisbon, liis hair lies in tufts
on the ground. The sod is red with his
blood. His flesh is quivering with agony
L not quite stilled. He was a plain spoken
WT Democrat, but ho was no match for two
L hundred male and female members of the
I God and morality party dancing in drunkI
en glee over the murder they had done.
Tint, thtfiv qrn Invol PonnKlinuno (nll/kwnra
of Christ; shoutera for freedom !
Here is a picture ol a democratic editor
in New Hampshire, one of the six radical
warts of Christianized New England. It
isaarronnded by mild milked school inarms,
long haired pedagogues, nasal twanged tin
peddlers, bean eating church members,1
psalm singing hypocrites and red mouthed 1
fanatics who arc pounding him with the
furniture of his oflico to a state of holplessucss
and two years of death bed suffering
because he believed the constitutiongiven
right to Free Speech, Free l'rcss
(and 'Vce Kansas) was more than a Scotch i
capped joke. A picture of New England
bravery and tho republican style of making
y converts: very choice.
Here is a picture of soldiers in uniform.
While the commanding general is druuk;
I
they arc tearing silks trorn women, diamonds
from femalo fingers, prying open
drawers with their bayonets, and insulting
tho defenceless victims of their hate.
And here is another picture of American
soldiers?not at war for tho right, but
breaking in the doors of a democratic newspaper
and murdering the editor thereof to
win promotion from Stanton or his master
while the crowd on the front scats arc the
selict elect of the God and morality party.
llere is a widow in black?her husband
slain in the crusade for cotton and niggers.
llere is an orphan tolling on a farm to
pay interest money to the pampered, protected
ton 1 holder who is able to work
but protected in his laziness by a radical
congress in obedience to the dictum of
New England.
llere is a view of a Southern plantation,
in two parts. The first view shows a happy
negro scrvantagc, dancing on the lawn,
at work in tho cotton field, driving to market
with the crops. The next is a view
of monumental chimneys, desolate yards,
uncarcd for negroes dead or dying in tho
blessings of freedom. Strictly republican.
llere is a picture of a poor white mau
working at his saw buck while a nigger is
in idleness close by, admiring the new bureau
just given him by Government, which
the white man is working to pay for.
And here is a gang of thieves with Hutler
the brute, Curtis the cotton collector,
l'rcntiss the piano stealer, Hanks the cot
ton robber, and others of that class in line,
waiting for posterity to pass sentence upon
them. ? scrt of purgatorial pot pie made
from rotten democrats seasoned with dishonesty,
sandwiched between abolition
fools and covered with a crust of dead niggers.
This is loyal picture.
And here is a map of the country ar.d
congress trying to keep half of it out of
sight.
And hero is a beautiful hospital scene.
Those full boxes contain jellies, fruits,
preserves, cologne, nnd all such articles
carefully prepared by the loved ones at
home lor the use of the siek and wounded
soldiers half sacriticcd on the negro altar
of Abraham the good ! Thoso men you
sec eating the dclecacies and lugging them
away to private quarters are the hospital
officers, the christian army chaplains who
play cards, drink whiskey, mulatto meander
and grow liit on the sanitary articles
stoleu from the soldiers. Genuine numbers
of the God and Morality party.
Ilerc is a picture of a woman paying
forty cents a yard for the sheeting she
bought six years ago for six cents.
Mere is a picture of a man tapping a
little bell and ordering innocent men into
loathsome dungeons.
Here is a picture of a pale haggard
bleached skeleton just released after a years
confinement in a military fort ignorant of
the offence he had committed, released
without trial lor a trial would have but
proved his innocence.
We have lots of these pictures in that
little box, but here is enough for to-day.

The gallant Stuart has not been forgotten
abroad. The military correspondent of
the Loudon Times thus writes l'rom i'owlowitz
:
" Were there such a cavalry General on
Austrian side at present as the Ccnlederatc
General Stuart iu the American civil war,
ho would have a granted chance to-day to
win a glorious stake by a raid upon Brunn.
The King ot Prussia is in that town at the
present moment, and only two battalions !
of infantry nnd one squadron of cavalry
have been left as his escort. With him
are Count Bistnark, General Von lloon,
and a large staff of officers. I f these could
bo captured, or even one alone, on what
different terms could Austria sue for peace?
But it would need a man of Stuart's intrepidity
to attempt to seize the prize, and
the prize, and the capture would not be
effected without severe costs ; but to secure
the King would compensate for any sacrifice."
Something for thf. Ladies.?Colored
starch is the latest and greatest novelty
of the season. It is made in pink buff,
the new mauve, and a delicate green and
blue will soon be produced. Any article
starched with the new preparation is completely
colored?dyed we should have said,
but as it washes out, and the garment that
was pink to-day may bo green to-morrow,
and buff afterwards, we cau hardly say
'dyed." It is intended especially for those
bright nnd treacherously colored muslins,
that arc costly, wa.di out and perplex their
owners. If the pattern has been mauve,
they only need the mauve starch j if green,
green starch ; and they can be rendered
one even and pretty shade, thus becoming
not only wearable again, but very stylish
While antimacassars or lace curtains may
also be colored in the same way, and inti>
nitc variety afforded.

One midsummer tiny
l'oor l'addy O'Shca
Met Logic returning from school,
And here, by tho way,
It is proper to say
That Logic thought Faddy a foolt
But Patrick O'Shca
Was a wit in his way ?
Too clever a fool to be sought;
Quoth Logic : "Hello 1"
l'at how do you do!" j
And l'addy respouded : ,lVo what V*
"Why, how do you find
Yourself, body and luind !
Is wlint I would ask you, you goose ?"
"Ocli! sure as to that,
Misthur Logic," said l'at,
"Myself I'm too sharp for to hit."
I
"Pshaw ! Pud?ly give in,
You know what 1 mean,
So, how fire you feeling to-day ?"
"Why, Misthur Logic,
I feci pretty shliek?
Just feel uie,'' tjtiolli l\iddy O'Shea.
"Well, Mr. O'Shea,
I'll bid you yood day !
The patience of dob you would try."

Said Paddy O'Shea,
"For the weather is hot and dry."
Juxt out of tlieir Holes.?-four
Confederates Conic in and
Surrendered,
The Petersburg Index, of Wcduesday,
says the serenity of the office of the commanding
officer of litis post was agitated
on yesterday, by the apparition of four
Confederate soldiers, who gave the names
aud "descriptive lists" as iollows :
Anthony Monkas, Co. E, 5'Jd Georgia
Infantry, i>d Army Corps, A. N. A'.
Thomas Wells, ditto.
James lirinberter, ditto.
Allan Tewksberry, 4dd Louisiana, ditto.
A more ragged set of mortals had never
appeared before the Colonel during
all the dealings he lias ever had with the
"ragged rebels" of Lee's aimy. Tewka i
berry was a sort of walking illustration of
original patchwork. His clothing had
been tied, and sewed, and stuck together
with string and thread, and thorns, until
there did not appear a solitary square inch
upon it which had not been tied up, sewed
up, or stuck up, in some way or other,
llis companions were not ipoitc so h.u
oft, one having a pair of blue \ ankee pantaloons,
with only a half a dozen rent" in
it; another hiding the raggedness of his |
grey pants with a ribbonry Van bee overcoat,
and the other making his decency
apparent by concealing the defects of his
upper garments with an old oilcloth lly,
awfully bedaubed with mud.
Tewkeberry stated to the Colonel that
he and his party stopped on the Appomattox
about seven miles above the city, alter
the evacuation of Petersburg, for the pur
pose, at first, of resting; that they stayed
louger than they expected, and were cut
off. They then made a vow to live on that
spot, and never go home or give up until
the Confederacy was completely annihilat
ed. They sought out a cave on the banks
of the river, which, at that point, is very
rocky, and, after some little indu.-try, succeeded
in erecting for themselves u most
comfortable little home, llere they lived
upon fish and game and occasional roast
ingears during all last summer, and upon
bread made of corn they had gathered troin
the cornfields, and an occasion d pig they
found without a mother, in their rambles
during the winter. This spring and summer
they lived as they did last summer,
but recently, lu-aring from an old negro
man that the Confederacy had undoubtedly
"gone up," they concluded to quit the
barbarian life and surrender. They marched
to the city yesterday morning, with their
! muskets and accoutrements, stacked arms
in front ot headquarters, sent in wuid that
I they were the remnant of the army of
i Northern Virginia, and that they wished
to surrender upon the conditions accorded
to the main body. Col. Milton cordially
assented to their request, gave them transportation
to their homes, and bade them
adieu.
Tl.c illustrious four roamed about town
j for a short time, hntl new suits of clothing
given thcin, and, after being made about
half drunk, embarked ou the Southern train
for their homes.
A little white girl, five years of age, while
playing near the railroad track in Nashville,
Tenn., 011 the Jtlh, became so helpless through
fear of an approaching train, that she sunk
down upon the track, and was cut directly in
two. Her mother came lip in a few minutes
in search of licr, and the sight of the mangled
remains was the first intimation she l ad of the
dreadful loss she had sustained. The child's
father was killed by the cars near the sninc
spot about two years ago.

Low Parson Brown low?Preacher Brownlaw?
Minister Brownlow? Governor
Brownlow of Tennessee?calls President
Johnson a dead dog. If so, Brownlow is
brave enough to attack hitu. And if Johnsou
is a dead dog, who had not rather be
in his place than to bear tho name of
Brownlow, tho reeking, cowardly, redmouthed,
radical, lecherous, ranting, praying,
blaspheming carved lava of hell, now
sitting as Governor of Tennessee ? In all
tho annals of Eitmcrs, whelps, hypocrites,
lunatics, blackguards, and blood-loving
hyenas of humanity, we know not one so
saturated with hate and brimstone as this
la 11 tern jawed structure dignified in sarcasm
with the name of man. Who is Brownlow

lie is an ordained minis' r of the gospel.
Ho is an illegitimate child of hell, let loose

oii epcvuiuuuu. lie is a blasphemous old
tyrant?a drunken politician?a dishonest
Governor?a bigger traitor at heart than
ever was John lirown, Thud. Stevens, or
any other oi" that corps ut Union haters,
lie is a minister without religion. A
preacher without a convert. A Governor
without brains, lie has the tongue of a

?he is an adventurer without bravery?a
rascal without discretion?a lib .ic with

hypocrite certain of hell?a loul,
nasty, reeking sore on the political mass of
corruption to which lie belongs?a stigma
?a disgrace?an insult?a byword and a
reproach to the list of Governors of American
States. When lie prays it is to the
devil. When he sings it is the drunken
ravings of a Send. When he indorses it is
to damn. When lie loves it is to destroy.
When he speaks it is to insult. When lie
interferes it is to blacken. When he
smiles it is to hide some of the deep and
diabolical villainies his blasphemous soul
is ever planning. There is not a devil in
Pluto's dominions hut is more of a true
Christian?there is not an ourangoutang in
the world hut is more of a statesman?*
there is not a pismire on the prairie but is
more of a warrior?there is not a robber in

there is not a murderer in the land but is
more innocent?there is not u fishwoman

Lut is sweeter, purer, and more attractive
than 1'arson Governor Blackguard Brownlow,

Should Buth-r, Stanton, and

should have the devil on earth at once, for
either of the above named excrescences are

A sfcouet Wotmi Knowing.?An able
writer gives utterance to the following valuable
secret:
"This looking forward to enjoyment
don't pay. From what I know of it, I
would as soon chase butterflies for a living,
or bottle up moonshine for cloudy nights,
i The only true way to be happy, is to take
I the drops ot happiness us (iod give* them
j to us every day of our lives. The boy
must learn to be happy while he is learning
his trade; the merchant while making
his fortune. If lie tails to learn this art,
he will be sure to miss his enjoyment
when lie gains what he has sighed for."

A curious case of love and persecution
has come to light in New York. A man
named Uouicro tell in love with his son's
intended wife, and in order to marry her,

wedding took place. Subsequently the
young man returned home, when his fatli
or caused liini to be arrested and put in
the lunatic asylum. The wile lias discovered
the facts in the case, and secured'the
release of her fir>t, and ]>crhaps only love,
and an interesting and spicy lawsuit is now
said to he probable, growing out of this exceedingly
romantic affair.

A German paper relates the following
(story of one of the late battles, which is
| not altogether incredible : A young soldI
icr in the midst of the tumult of battle
thought he saw on the grass a fourdeaved
shamrock growing. As such a plant is
rare, and is considered to bring good luek,
he stooped to take it. At that very instant
a cannon ball passed over bis head, so near
tli.it he must have been killed if he had
not been bending down. The man so miraeulously
saved, has sent the plant to
which he owes his life to his betrothed at

Description of ViennaA
foreign correspondent writes : Although
Vienna is already a vast city of
nearly thirteen miles circumference, yet
the amount of improvement and buildiug
that is going forward is very great. The
old city of Stadt is about throo miles in
circumference, and was built chiefly in the
middle ages, and was consequently densely
packed together within & wall that was
erected lor defense. It is a curious old
honeycomb, that old city. Tho streets run
crowded about; tbey aro generally only
from twelve to twenty feet wide, oitcn not
more than eight; the houses tower many
stories high,aad away down betweeu them
the sun is scarcely ever seen.
Hundreds of houses aro built ontirely
over the streets, so that carriages drive directly
through the house, as it were, under
arched ways, long and narrow and dark.
Gas burns here day and night. It is surprising
what a limited extent of the room
a poor family will occupy, the tradesman
working in the same room occupied by his
family. Here you are shared for two and
a quarter cents, your boots aro mended for
live cents, you makeja substantial dinner of
soup, beef, potatoes and pudding for fourteen
cents, and so forth. The same pavement
of solid, square stones extends all the
way across the streets, and you walk in the
J it .* % ?
I iiiiuuic or on tnc side, as you can find room
among the rattling carriages. You seldom
enter a hotel or store or a large private
dwelling from the front, but go in the
coach way, which leads to the inner court,
and turn to the right or left.
A clergyman, at the examination of tho
young scholars of his Sunday school, put
the following question : "NVhy did the children
of Israel act up a golden calf ?" "Because
they had not money enough to set

who took a dollar and-ccnts view of tho
matter.
A soldier who lost both hands in tho
war was furnished with a hand organ, and
with his sen, a young lad. has travelled a

of ttie charitable.
lluman happiness has no perfect security
but freedom; freedom none but virtue;
virtue none but knowledge; and neither
freedom or virtue has any vigor or immortal
hope except in principles of the Christian
faith and in the sanction of the Christian
religion.
"Now, my little boys and girls," said a
teacher, "I want you to be very still?so
