In his report of the occurrences con

officer for the time being nays : Although
the number of detachments (ailed out
to apsiot the United States Mar.-ha Is are
about the same, as last year, complaints
of outrages of various kinds committed
on the i>cgroes have been more numer
ous, pailicularly since the niiddh- of
August, and from sueh information as
Oioj biing in, the Ku Klux have been
raiding almost every night iu portion*
of this (Gibson) and ndjoiniug counties

Many of there have pimply amounted to

jnado, which iu easily accomplished by

A Toting Man's History in Brief.
1 first saw him in a social p'irty; he
took but one glass of wine, and that at
tho earnest solicitation of a yotfng lady
to whom be had been introduced. I
uext saw him when he supposed !i?
unseen, taking a glass to satisfy a alight
desire. Hu in >okod at the thought of
danger.
I next saw him, late in tho evening,
ia the street, unable to walk. home. 1
assisted him thither, and wo parted.
? I next, saw him reeling one of a low
Roguery; a oonfusod stare was on his
countenance, and words of blasphemy
were on his tongue, aud shame was
gone.
I saw him once more; he was cold
atid motionless, and was carried by his
friends to hjs last resting plac-j. Cn the
small procession that follow: 1 every
head w.-.s cast down. His father's gray
hairs were going to the grave with s >r
row; his mother wept that she had given
birth to such a child.
I le.urnod home, musing on his future
state. L opened the Uible, and read,
l,iie not deceived; drunkards shall hoi
inherit the kingdom of God."
This is a sad story. Alas. ! that ii
should be true. When a boy. our poor
friend was as happy and as bright as any
of us. More thaii once, when students
together, did he sneer at my tcetotalisni;
w.ic'i I urged him to sign the pledge,
he laughed at me, aud scuflYl at^tlre
hare suggestions of danger.
1'oor Fred ! his father had the glas
en the table, and there the appetite was
formed Young men, beware of the
first glass. Fathers, banish the glass
from jour tables, if you would not bury
your sums as drunkards.

down ihe Line to poor Aunt id dly's cut

who for a whole year had lain on her
bed, bU Hering groat pain.
In the afternoon a lady called to see
.1 nut Molly, and noticed the swiet ;> in
in a cracked tumbler near the poor .11
woman's bed.
?That pretty po;y,' said A tint Molly,
looking up with a gratet'ui smile, 'was
brought to mc this morning, by | a little
girl, who siid it was all she h 11 \to bring

Tears came into tho lady's eyes. Ami
what did,she think? She the thought,
'it you only have a flower, to give, give
that, and remember, too the tbeSavi is
words, that even a eup ol eold water
given in a Chr'staiu spirit, shall not
lose its reward.'
It is ?vorth a great deal to the poor,
the aged, and the sick to kn iw tint they

Desire of F ami-,
It is inn gined by slime that :hc lover
of l*ima is so voracious of praise, tl at be
is indifferent to its quility. Thuis n ?t
the case. Tlie smiles of j vulgar viutrnu
age, or tllO blundering eulogies of igno
rance, are always offensive and disgust
ing. 'I love praise,' says Cowper, in
one of his letters, 'from the judicious,
and those wll i have so much delicacy
themselves as not to offend mine' The
applause of men who are themselves
eminent in literature, often thrills an
ambitious author with that inexpressi
ble delight which can never be occasion
ed by the adulation of common minds.
When Lord Uyrou's high opinion of

that the soul of a Ghinuuian is not in

IN rhaps in some insolated instances
u man may bccotno wealthy through a

who would enjoy success must work
hard for it. Twenty clerks in a store,
twenty hand', in a printing odl; j, t .V; 1
ty apprentices in a ship yard, twenty
young men in a village?all want to

How to Pul Children (<> Beel.
Not with reproof fur any of tint days
sins ? I omission 'or commission. Take
any lime but bed time ,lor that. If you
ever herd :i creature sighing or sob'ji i?
io its sleep, y >u could never do this.
Fcal their closing eyelids with a kiss
and a blessing. The time will come.
wIh m, ::!! too soon they will lay their
l eads upon their pillows, lacking both.
Let them, then a! ha-:, hive this swc.'t
memory of a happy childhood, of which
no future ^sorrow or trouble can rob
Ihem. (live them their rosy youth.
N? r i Oed this involve will license. The
judicious parent will n it mistake my
meaning. If you havj ever met the
ii.an or the. woman who.;" eyvs have sad
dculy tilled when a little child lias crept
trustingly to its mothers breast, you
ma have seen ono in whose childhood's
home 'dignity' mid 'severity' Btooil
where love and pity sb oil 1 hive. been.
Too much indulgence has ruined thou
sands of children too much love, not
one.
The !tcal Rieh Man.
.Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of mon with nothing in their
pockets are rich. A man born with a
good strong constitution, a ijo?d stom
ach, a good heart, good limbs, and a
pretty good headpiece, is rich. Good
bouea are bitter than gold; tough in us
eles better than silver; and nerves that
flash fire and cany energy to ever func
tion, are better than land or houses. It
is better than a landed ostato to liavu
the right kind of a father or mother,
(iood breeds and bad breeds exist among
men as really as among herds o!" horses.
Kdueatinn may do much to check bad
tendencies or to develop goad ones; it is
a greater thing to inherit, the right pro
portion of faculties to start with. The
man is rieh who has a good disposition
?who is naturally kind, pdtiout, cheer
lul, and hopeful.
