A Lesson ibr our People. The editor of the Memphis Appeal duccs from the recent celebration of c of th:ir principal festivals by the Isrn itt?* the following moral: The lesson that we deduced from tin sacred service?; and to which we inv attention, is that these people, for m< than two thousand years, have "carri down through the ages," and prescrv amid relentless persecutions and bigot malignity, the ark of their covenant-t bond of ?heir hope,-and that they are I day inspired by the same faith, and th? hearts lilied with the same fervor as, old, signalized them among tho natioi They have preserved themselves as a i ligious national body, under varying c cumstauces, and while passing thron, the most trying ordeals, luve, never w veredl, Turning neither to the right n left, not deviating au iota- from the fai of Abraham, withstanding obloquy ai the rage and passion of religious fana cism to which in the past they have be subjected, they yesterday celebrated t great event of the Covenant^ the day their selection by Him as the chosi means ol the perp?tuation of the pron ses of trod. Now we have a " Co ven an ant" only less degree sacred as compared with", th of the Children* of Israel. We have ll covenant of our fathers, whereby our i dependence as a people was guaranteed an independence which, Just no v iitipe illed, demands all of our cflb.rt and ski to save from a worse than Baby loni! captivity. Beaten down and trarrrph uudei' loot, the m-caL charier of our righ has for seven years been ignored, ar lawlessness had loose reign. But pers outed by ?i triumphant Radicalism, v have never lost sight of thc ark of ot jiijliiicul covenant, which, taking heart ar hope from the example of our brothe of Israel, let us resolve to revive nn perpetuate in purity, unimpaired of an of its guarantees, unsullied by liad ?ci interpolations. In thc unity of the Chi dren of Israel and their singleness < purpose, we have an example of whi may be achieved under circumstances ( more aggravated evil than has yet befalle us. It must not be lost upon us. Th great struggle in behalf of the Constitutiot which has recently ended in the full jus tincation of the President, should inspir us to closer unity and a more thorottgl effort in behalf of the party and princi oles through whom and which alone wi can achieve our independence. Wha has been accomplished of national ant religious unity by the Israelites througl iso many years, should inspire us to tha continued and, unintermitted effort withou which we would be unworthy the result! we hope Ibr. The cause for which Un South fought was the intpgtity of tin Constitution. That cause is yet dear tc us, and may be, nay is, nearer its con summation than at any time in the mourn ful past; if we are but united and actua< ted by a single resolve to. brinn all diner enees and forgt t self and .selfish consid erations. Let io cliques adse to disturb the harmony tbnc should pervade.our ranks, but with faces once more turned towards the altar of our common country, unite in the labors that will give us vic tory over our enemies, and a regenerated, restored and " more perfect" Union. This is the lesson. Let us- all lay it to heart. Letter From Brazil. We have been favored by Mr. A. M. Wood, of this city, (says the Mobile Reg ister) with the perusal of a letter from his son, a member of Major Hastings's Colony, from which we make the follow ing extracts; showiDg,the condition of the emigrants : PARA, BRASIL, May 6, 18G8. * * * At the^eath of Major Has tings the Government said the contract of thc colony died, and so they stopped our ration's ; but we still tried to get along, as we had our stuff growing. But at iast we had to abandon-our places and go to the city of Sautarem,, to try to ? make a living for our families, though that was in vain. Some of us got work at one milrea a day. At this price we could not-support our families, aud so we came here to Para on the 1st. We have lived in a shed six days-twenty-seven of us-as it is impossible to get a house, for there is not an empty one in the city, which is a place three times as large as Mobile. Since Major Hastings died, we have had hard times. When a white man dies here it is a hard matter to get him buried. I was told to-day that a stranaer died in the hospital, and they sewed him up in a sack and threw him into the river. Some of our people died, and we had to burv. them in a blanket. Among these was William Dowd's wife, who died on the 4th inst, of choleta morbus. This country is rich and abounds in fruits, fine timber, and good water. All this is good ; but the next- thing is, we have six months that ic rains day and night, while the other six months it does not rain ? drop. Another trouble is the bugs and worms, and, worst of all, the ?ats, which cur down the plants as last as they come up. I had a fine piece of corn and a patch of potatoes. Corn is all that does well in this place, but some of the people planted that five or six times and could not get a stand. The people will all leave the colony by that next boat. Tell everybody that speaks of emigrating to Brazil tostay at home. A man caa do well in Brazil if fe to moaoy to iw triton* \ work ; but he:can do the same in any other place;,, so if they have a plenty of money they 'can live at home as well as in Brazil. -? ?-? DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF AN ARMY OFFICER.-Lieutenant ColonelJ. Madison Cutts,' Washington, was,' it will be re membered, during the latter part of the war, while his rank was that of captain, court-martialed, found guilty, and dis missed the service for indecent conduct, in climbing up'? chair and. looking into a indy's room at the Dornet House, Cincin nati, while she was undressing. Through the influence ot his friends he was finally restored to the army, and subsequently promoted to a brevet lieutenant colonelcy; he was lately on duty in Louisiana, and in April he was court-martialed for get ting drunk, exposing himself at his camp in an almost naked condition, and cruelly beating and kicking private soldiers aud non commissioned officers. The court-martial, of which Major Generui Beckwith was President, found him guilty on all the charges, and sen tenced him to. suspension from rank and half pay proper, for nine months, with confinement to the limits of the post head quarters for the ?same period. Gen. Buchanan, commanding the District, ap proved the finding and the sentence, and reprimanded the. Court for not making the latter more -severe. A week later, Colonel Cutts was again court-martialed for arresting and detaining in dose con finement, one Dr. Peterson, a loyal-and respectable citizen of Philadelphia, on business in Louisiana :. for grossly abu sing him, tying his arms, threatening him with violence and -horse-whipping, also for great disrespect to his superior officer, and forgetting drunk and exposing him self in a nparly nude condition to a com pany of ladies and gentlemen.in the.eajbin -of a. boat on 'which he was a passenger. A late private letter from New Orleans says it is reported there that the court sentenced him to be dismissed from the army, and that the papers in the case have been forwarded to the President for his action.-Exchange. A Newly Married Wife Suddenly Divorced Herself* There happened here recently, between a newly married-couple from Kentucky, a rather startling episode, told briefly as follows : A young gentleman from the county of Madison, Kentucky, "vooed and won the heart -of a most estimable and hand some young lady of "Fayette county. After several months' courtship, the cere mony was duly performed at the First Presbyterian church in Lexington, and the happy pair, with buoyant hopes, took the afternoon train for this city to spend the honeymoon. Thc hours on rosy wing*, flew swiftly by. The bridegroom con gratulated himself tlpon the prize he had won, and in blissful ignorance of u break ers ahead." arrived at the Merchants Ho tel, where a suite of rooms had beep en gaged for the happy couple, aud awaited their Teception.. After their arrival in the Queen City, and enjoying supper, thc bride retired to her chamber, and the groom, a spirited young fellow,N thought he would have a run with the boys and see the elephant a little while before re tiring lo the arms of Morpheus and his fair bride. The result of this little raid around town cnn better be imagined than explained and we are surprised ta say, Instead of the groom who is a zealous -i Good Templar," returning " right side up," he was, to use a mild expression, ' jolly tight," a?<d his newly-made wife re fused to admit him, and persistently avowed that she would return home on the morrow ; and, ringing the bell, alarm ed the clerk, who provided an extra bri dal chamber for one, and the groom was soon sleeping profoundly. On thc morrow, after having passed the night in profound slumber, all uncon scious of having any wife,'was astonished? lo learn that shu had deserted him. But such was the fact. She had returned to her parent?, in Fayette county, where she still remains, refusing thus far, to become reconciled.to the roan who could desert her on their first hight of wedded life for the society of male friends.- Cincinnati Commercial. THE SECRET OF DANCING.-An exchange cautions young men who can't dance the fancy dances, not to go to ?1 ball with" a young lady who can, and adds the follow ing : If we ever have any children we shall teach them to dance fancy dances, to the neglect of their catechism. Not that they will enjoy the hopping around, first on one foot, then on the other, then on both ; but they will have a good chance to hug other folks' wives and sweethearts ! This is the secret of dan cing. No one would object; but if a fellow were to sit by the side of his own wife even, in a ball-room, and hug her half as hard-7-well, wouldn't there he re marks ! Guess not. (We speak ironical ly.) Talk about pic-nics, sparkiiig by moonlight, sitting on the stoop Sunday evening, stealing a hiss every time a star shoots, (that's the nicest game,) sleigh riding by the side of a rosy-cheeked girl, or eating happiness with a golden spoon -rdl-these sink into insignificance when fancy dancing comes on. But when a fellow don't know how, and takes to a party a girl that does, another fellow do ing th<? sweet hugging of that angelic creature, that he paid for, it's too awful ! Just to sit and see another's arm where yours should be-and, well, don't take a girl to a fancy dancing party unless you know the ropes. MEDICINAL.-A . physician in Bridge water, Mass., was recently called to pre scribe for a somewhat illiterate old lady, and as codliver oil, in his opinion, was the remedy for her complaint, he wrote a prescription for. the apothecary to put op, with the Latin formula, " Ole. Jec. Ass." being an abbreviation of " Oleum Jecoria Assellii," or, in plain English, cod-lrver oil. The medicine was procured, taken, and in a few. week? the lady com pletely recovered her health.. A neighbor paid her a visit nfter her recovery, and expressing surprise at her improved con dition, inquired the secret of so rapid a restoration. " Why," said the old lady, lifting both hands in grateful enthusiasm, " it was that beautiful medicine the Oil of Jackass, that brought me on my feet again !" Two students meeting on the road with a hostler, they fell to bantering him, and told the fellow they would prove him to be a horse or an ass. " Well, said the hostler, " I can prove your saddle to be a mule." " A mule !" cried one of thetn. M How can that be ? " Because," said the ho- 1er, w it is something between an ass aud s horse." A pretty and well dressed young lady, after looking at several pairs of lavender colored gloves in a store, lately, shocked the clerk by asking him which pair he Peculiar Men. Josh Billings spend? his time studying human and other kinda, of1 nature, and sending out the results of his investiga tions. His last is all about peculiar men. The Jealous Man iz alwuz hunting. He iz alwuz a hunting for sumthlng that he don't expect tew find,, and after he haz found it, then fee iz mad bekuaze he has. These fellers don't beleav in spooks, and yet they are about the only folks who ever see onny. A jealous man iz alwuz happy jist in proporshun az he iz mizerable. .lelosy iz a disease, and it iz a good deal like sea-sickness-dreadful sick and kan't vomit. The Anonymous Mun boards at a red tavern, and pays tur biz board bi tending bar occasionally. He hain't got enny more karakter than the jack ov spades haz when it ain't trumps. He iz a loafer by prcfession, without enny vices. Ile rides on the box once in a while, with the driver, and nobody thinks of asking for his stage fare. He sprung from a respectable family ; biz great grandfather wuz a justiss ov the peace; but he haz not got vanity enuff tew brag on it. He ain't necessarily a phool, enny more than a bull's-eye watch iz; if enny body will wind him, he will sett still and run quietly down. The Stiff Man. looks down, when he walks, upon folks. He don't seem tew hav but one limber- jmte in him, and that iz lokated in hiz noze. He iz a.kind of,masculine turkey, on parade, in a barn-yartf.' y He iz generally loaded with wisdum clear up tew the muzzell, and when he goes oph, makes a noize like a cannon, Lut.doult dew enny dammage. . . (.have seen him lire into a crowd, and miss evry man. ? ; This kind uv stiff jnan iz very handy tew flatter. They seem tew know they ain't entitled to ti good article, and, there fore, are satisfied with very hard soap. Thare ain't but fu men whoget stiff on what they acktnally know, but most aul ov them git stiff on what they acktually feel. Stiff mei> are called aristokrats, b'ut this ain't so. There ain't no such thing as aristokrats in this country. The country ain't long enuff yet, un less aman;-has got some Indian itv hun. Az a gen'ral thing, stiff men get mad dread ful "easy, and have tew git over it dreadful easy, bekause folks ain't apt tew git a big skare at what they ain't afraid ov. Stiff Ma'nh&? a grandfather once who went tew Congress once from ourdist.rikt, and thare ain't one in th? whole family that hav been able tew limber si use. The Model Man never disturbs a hen when she is setting ; never speaks cross tew a lorst dota; alwuz puts a five cent shinplaster in hiz vest pocket late Satur day night, tew have it ready Sunday mor ning for the church platter; rises' when ever a lady enters the. street kars; re I members yure uncle plainly, and asks ' after awl the family. Jf he steps on a kat's tail, iz sure to do it light, and im mediately asks her pardon ; reads the the Weekly Gossip, and laffs bekauso he kan't help it; hooks up his wife's dress and plays boss with, the children. Never meddles with cream in the milk pans ; goos eazily ov errands, and cums back in scacon ; attends everybody's phuneral ; kan alwuz tell when the moon changes; thinks just az you do, or the other way, if yu want him to ; follows everyboddy's advice but his own ; praktices most ov the virtews without knowing it; leads the life of a shorn lamb; gits sick after a while, and dies az soon az he kan, to save making enny further trouble. The model man's vices are not feared nor his virtews respekted. Ile lives in the memory ov the world just about as long az a pleasant day duz. , He may be called a "clever fe-ller," and that iz only a libel; but he will git biz reward hereafter-when thc birds yit theirs. MIND AND MUSCLE.-Brown, who has been editing a weekly paper at a small town in an adjoining State for some time past, went through here a few days ago, on his way to New Orleans, in search of J employment. ' Smith met him in the reading rftdm bf th? hotel just before he left hero, and asked him how he happened to abandon his paper. "You see," said'Brown, " Green and I started the thiny in copartnership, and as he is nothing of a writer, it was agreed between us that I should edit the paper and he should db the press-work, etc. This arrangement struck me after awhile .as being unfair, so I said to Green one day : . . " Green, I don't like the way Ihe work in this office is divided I think that in asmuch as you merely work with your muscle while I work with my brain, you ought to allow me a little big 'ger share of the. profils. Brains eight always to command a higher price than muscle." "All that may be true," said Green, "but look here, Brown, considering the large amount of muscle I've got and the very small amount of brains you've got, I donVthink you have any right to say a d-d word." "After that," continued Brown, " 1 felt that in justice to myself I couldn't asso ciate on equal terms with Green any lon ger, and so ! sold out my interest in the concern and left." THE WAY IT IS DONE IN FLORIDA.-A correspondentin one of his letters informs us of a uovel and economical mode of | .courtship in Florida. As you hflve never seen thc language of pine, I will give it here. A gentleman wishing to court a lady, and not wishing to face the music in person, sends his lady love a pieee of pine, signifying, 11 pine for thee ;'. and she, wishing to give a favorable an swer, sends in return a pine knot, mean ing, ' pine not,' or, if she wishes to say 'no,' she sends a burnt pine knot, there by signifying, "1' make light of your pine.'" --? ? -? PRK PA ii ED FOR EMERGENCIES.-A'coun try apothecary was observed by a friend to be in the habit of draining all medicine vials returned to him by patients into one large lottie which stood upon his counter. Wondering what could be his ohject in accumulating this strange mixture, the friend one day interrogated him on the point. " Surely," he said, " you can have no use for a mess like that." " My dear fellow," replied the apothecary, " that is the most scientific medicine I've got in my shop. 8imple medicines are very well for simple complaints ; but that's the stuff for a patient with a complication of disorders." A maiden, who had suffered some dis appointments, thus defines the human race: "Man-a conglomerate mass of j hair, tobacco-smoke, confusion, conceit, and boots. Woman-the waiter, per fora, ?8 Hw ?fotmi? mmsl" A handsome "young peddler "made love to a buxom widow. He accompanied his declaration with an allusion to two impediments to their union. " Name them," said the widow. u The want of means to set up a retail store." They parted, and the widow sent the peddler ample means. When they met again, the peddler had hired and stocked his store, and the smiling fair one begged to know the other impediment. " 1 have another wife," cried the notion dealer. --? ? ? ? An exchange says : " The Pope is ma king a crusade upon the improprieties of dress, and we learn ' lays the blame on the shoulders of the ladies.' The Pope is at fault. We have examined the should ers of the ladies, and haven't found a .blame thing there." A rogue asked charity on pretense ol being dumb. A lady having asked him with equal simplicity and humanity, how long he had been dumb, he was thrown, off his guard, and answered, " From birth, madam !". " Poor fellow !" said thc lady, and gave him ? dollar. If a bigamist were sentenced to live with nis two wives in the same house, the crime would soon become extinct. A gentleman who had by a fall broken tine of his ribs was mentioning the cir cumstance and describing the pain he felt.
