Ilumorous Department. THE END OF THE HONEYMOON. , "Oh ! what a lovely moon ! Don't let as light the gas, Augustus. Let us sit here by the window and admire it. It's exactly like silver ; and, oh 1 how beautiful you look in it?yes, you do, splendid 1 Oh 1 Gusty, how I like your Roman nose, and I'm so glad you have such elegant whiskers. Do you love me ? Oh ! Gusty, how sweet you are. Am I your own little darling?really, am I ? I don't think they can see in from over the way, do you ? You may kiss me just twice more. Isn't it awful to think of married people quarreling, Gusty ? We couldn't quarrel, could we ? Oh ! no, never, never! I couldn't say a cross word to you, and you couldn't to me, could you ? We'll live together as the angels do, and die at the same moment. Oh I Gusty, it is awful to love as we do. Sometimes my heart stands still when I think of it. You may give me two kisses more. Hark! what's that ? I hope it isn't that Jones coming to call. I hate him !" "It's unreasonable in you to hate him, my love." "Unreasonable to hate him? Why, Gusty?I unreasonable ?" "Why do you hate him ?" "Why do I hate him ? Well, I don't know; he has such a funny, long neck, and?and? he's horrid." "He's my dearest friend."

Why because it's a place fgr dreadful, dissipated bachelors. I know all about it But it's all that dreadful Jones of yours. He has put it into yonr head. What's that you are muttering? 'My chatterbox women friends have put queer things into my head?' Do I hear aright? Mr. Gardener! My cousin Jane, my sister Sarah, and dear ma, chatter-boxes? I call that shameful! Oh, have I lived to hear such things? But what can I expect of a man who will go to a club and leave his deserted wife to sit up for him all alone, and come home the worse for liquor, no doubt. No, that I won't bear, Mr. Gardener. Do that once, and I'll have a divorce." "Very well, as soon as you like, my dear." "As soon as I like ? Ah, I see. That is what you want. Jones has been putting that into your head. No doubt he'd like to see you free to lead any dreadful life you choose again. When ma first saw that Jones, she said?'I do not like that man, my child.'

Wanted to be Interviewed.?The Virginia (Nevada) Chronicle says: This morning a young lad, with a parcel of school books under his arm, came into the Chronicle office onrl atrtrt/t fnr anmo miniltoa Ipftninf acainSt the door. He was presently interrogated as to wants, mission, etc. "Are you the feller that does the interviewin' ?" The reporter acknowledged that branch of his calling, and the boy proceeded : "Would you interview a feller what got licked ?" "Certainly." "Ye see, I go to the second ward school, and this morning I got licked like thunder? for nuthin'; will ye put that in ?' 'Go on, my little man. Throwing spitballs at a girl, I suppose?' 1 4Ye see I had a book opeu?' 'A Beadle's Dime V 'No, a reader; but it wasn't time to have reading open. It was spellin' book time, ye see, and the first thing I knowed somethin' took me 'lengside the ear, sorter in this way. [Here the boy bumped his head against the door.] The teacher grabs me by the collar, and begins to haul me 'round and busts me agin the wall. Then he licks me.' ~ 'High-handed outrage.' T t | ~ 'You bet, and if Bill Snooks was here he would show ye how he got licked. We git licked every day for nothin'?jest nothin' at all. The teachers' partiality all the time:' 'Can you tell what partiality means?' 'No, but that's what tbey call it. It's a man that licks one feller right along, and don't lick another feller at all. Now put that in and send the bill to my dad.'; ~ i A Cash Transaction.?A gentleman hired a boy to walk home beside him and carry a bundle, having first agreed to pay the lad fifteen cents. Beaching the house, the man r l t- _ 1? J 11 1 i.1 I0UQC1 ne nsu uoBmtuier vuaugc iuau a quarter and he said : "If yon will call at my office at two o'clock, I'll have the change." "But it was to be cash down," said the boy. "So it was; but I haven't the change, you see. You'll have to call at my office." "I'll call," growled the boy, as he turned away, "but I know just how it will work. When I knock on the door a cross-eyed clerk will yank it open, ask me what I want, and when I tell him, he will yell out, 'That man went into bankruptcy last September* and now you git!' That's the way they alius play it on me, sir, and I druther lose the fifteen cents than to call the clerk a dodo, and have to dodge coalscuttles all the way down stairs." The gentleman walked with him to the nearest grocery and made change. She Had to Shout.?A few years since there was a Presbyterian minister at Columbus, Miss., who had a horror of shouting in church, which fact was well known to bis congregation. One day after be had preached a very spiritual sermon, an old lady was observed to leave the church in a very hasty manner. Meeting her a few days after, the minister asked her why she had rushed from ? 11 i il . C* J L.f the cdurcn so suaaemy ine ouuuay ueiurw. "Well," she responded, "the fact is, I was so filled with grace in listening to your sermon, that I found that I could not contain myself, so I ran over to the Methodist church across the way and shouted." Providential Occurrences.?We occasionally meet with people who appear to see the hand of Providence in every circumstance, however trifling. A good woman of this description, who seemed to think that Providence superintended all the minutiseof her domeetia affairs, was thus reproved, one day by a visitor. In the room where they happened to be sitting, the servant-girl accidentally broke two squares of glass in the window. "How unfortunate!" cried the old lady, in atone not of the most Christian meekness or patience. "Say, rather, madam, how extremely Providential!" "Providential?" "Yes, for I see the glazier coming to the door." HJisceUaiwus Reading. From the Charleston Newj and Courier, 11th inst. THE EVACUATION OF THE STATE HOUSE FULL PARTICULARS. Columbia, Tuesday, April 10.?The rerao val of the troops from the State-House to daj was accomplished so quietly and quickly, & to deprive the occasion of much of its purely dramatic interest. In all save the one essential particular that they were going out nevei to return, the evacution differed very little from the usual supercession of the guard, which might have been witnessed any time during these four months. Governor Hampton's published request, in furtherance of his promise to Hayes, that no Democrat should go near the State-House unless authorized by him to do so, was carried out to the letter. Not one was present at the ceremony, and I saw none on the Capitol grounds, either before or after the performance. Twenty minutes before 12 o'clock, your correspondent, with two other members of the press, presented themselves at the front door, and entered un challenged, although a score of the colored special constables were hanging about the entrance watching our movements with sullen, unfriendly glances. Within doors was a conI ?Anf.1 t\f narking nrva Lull drod and fiff.r 1UOCU WV/WU U4 wuv ?>MV. ? persons, mostly negroes, who were moviug about aimlessly, or standing in groups oi threes and fours engaged in low and dispirited conversation. Here and there were to be seen one or two smaller groups of white Republicans of the better sort, similarly occupied, and all looking badly demoralized, or, to use a homely phrase, "decidedly down in the mouth." The guard on duty to-day was a detachment of twenty men of Company B, Second Regiment, under command of Lieutenant Haynes. All necessary preparations for the evacuation had been completed before our arrival on the scene, and the men, fully accoutred, were resting in two ranks and with guns stacked before the door of the comptroller-general's office, which has been used as officer's quarters during the siege. A solitary sentry paced up and down on his old beat before the Executive office. Col. Black and Adjt. Potter stood under an arch, a few paces distant, frequently referring to their watches. Gen. Ruger's aid had arrived with the order during the morning, and Col. Black was nervously intent upon complying with his precise instructions as to the hour of departure, to wit, precisely twelve. His nervousness affected his subordinate officers; from these it spread to the crowd, and no second was permitted to pass altogether unobserved in its flight. At ten minutes before 12, Lieut. Harriss suddenly sounded the order, "Attention!" which was generally observed by the crowd throughout the build ing, as well as by the handful of men to whom it was more particularly addressed. Then caraein rapid succession, "Takearras," "unfix bayonets," "carry arms," "count fours," "twos riaht." "march !" The last order brought the - 'O ? B w squad sharply down on the crowd, which gave way to allow a free passage to the door. But the time was not yet up, and a sudden halt was made as the leading file reached the south entrance. The sentry on duty before the Executive office, now relieved for the last time, resumed his place in the ranks, and the command, "Order arms," being given, the men stood at ease in their places. The few remaining minutes of the ten seemed to loiter as they passed. Presently, the sergeant, who had timed his watch with the City Hall bell, which in turn was set with the clock in the telegraph office, which in turn was regulated from Washington by telegraph, whispers to the lieutenant, "One miuute more, sir," and is directed to take his stand at the south door, next to the City Hall, and to give notice of the first tap of the clock bell by a wave ofhis Kan/1 f!nl Ttlark appint* f.hft manoeuvre. re called thesergeaDt and sent Lieut. Briggs, oi the same company, to take the post of warning. The seconds are minutes now, and everybody is listening for the Bound or watching for the signal. There it goes! Lieut. Briggs waves his hand to indicate the first tap, which was not heard in the recesses of the hall, and advances rapidly to Col. Black to report the fact. The Colonel says, "Don't run, sir." The lieutenant joins the squad. Then is heard, "Attention, guard!" "Carry arms!" "Right shoulder arms!" "Twos right, march !" The sound of heavy and hurried footfalls resounds along the corridors, and before the bell has reached the fifth stroke of the twelve the last file has crossed the threshold. A number of the negro constables, evidently act ing under peremptory and urgent orders, in stantly sprang to the heavy doors and slam med them to with a bang, in the face of the crowd within, and in the immediate rear 01 the last file of soldiers without, who are hard ly out of the way of the closing panels. A heavy bar dropped into its brackets, and the military occupation of the State is ended much to the relief of the citizens and the mili tary as well. All was done so suddenly that the clocl could be heard striking after the doors were closed. The bell strikes slowly at best, and i required little suggestion to evolve tne com parison of a funeral knell. Twelve stroke! sounded, and the twelve long, weary, wretch ed years of carpet-bag misrule were tolled off one by one, and consigned to the tomb of the past forever, never to know a resurrection The crowd quickly dispersed, almost in si lence, and in a few minutes the wires wen flashing the tidings to every town and village of the whole land. The detachment of soldiere'were marched direct to their quarters and dismissed, and so ended the first lesson ol the eventful day. Mr. Chamberlain's action to-day was a com' plete surprise to everybody outside the small circle of his immediate friends and associates, and could not have been anticipated by any one not in his confidence. It was certainly known, upon evidence contained in his own handwriting, that bo lately as Saturday night he was fully determined upon the policy ol resistance, as set forth in the News and Courier and substantiated in advices to Northern persons here from correspondents at Washington. To this policy his supporters here considered him firmly committed, and they were prepared to sustain him in it. He had not, in a single instance, given the slightest intimation of even the possibility of a change in the course he had marked out and declared, and such a possibility has not been entertained, for a moment, in the plans of Governor Hampton and his friends, who have been busily engaged for several days devising the line of attack to be pursued in view of his as sured purpose of resistance to the last legal extremity. The truth is simply that Mr Chamberlain changed his mind within the - - * i 1 *1. _1 past twenty-iour noure, anu me uuauge, w whatever influence due, was kept so secrel that it was not even suspected till the troop! had actually departed from his office door and he had made formal and official an ouncement of his abandonment of the con ; test. I have heard no reason suggested foi ! his sudden revolution of purpose, and have j no means of ascertaining. He will probablj ! make it known at his own discretion. It maj ' be remarked just here that whatever the rea ' son for his course, the fact of his yielding ai 1 this juncture has gone very far already to : wards modifying the feelings of enmity enter tained towards him by the majority of his po litical opponents. The other incumbents of the State-Hous< ; offices are not included in Mr. Chamberlain'j : terms of surrender, and they all, so far a: known, propose to hold their ground until th( decision of the Supreme Court in the quo war J ranto cases is promulgated. i The Mystery of Dreams.?A man fel , asleep as the clock tolled the first stroke o i j twelve. He awakened ere the echo of th< i j twelfth stroke had died away, having in th< i interval dreamed that he had committed t crime, was detected after five years, tried ant coudemned ; the shock of finding the haltei around his neck aroused him to consciousness when he discovered that all these events hac ' happened in an infinitesimal fragment of time I Mohammed, wishing to illustrate the wonders > j of sleep, told how a certain man, being a sheik, : found himself, for his pride, made a poor fisherman ; that he lived as one for six years bringing up a family and working hard, and how, upon waking up from his long dream, so short a time had he been asleep, that the narrow' necked gourd bottle, filled with water, which p he knew he overturned as be fell asleep, had * not time to empty itself. How fast the soul r travels when the body is asleep! Often, when we awake, we shrink from going back into the dull routine of a sordid existence, regretting 1 the pleasanter life of dreamland. How is it that sometimes when we go to a strange place 1 we fancy that we have seen it before ? Is it ' possible that when one has been asleep the 1 soul has floated away, seen the place and has the memory of it which so surprises us? In a word, how far dual is the life of man, how far not ? CHAMBERLAIN'S ADDRESS, i The following is the full text of Chamberlain's address on relinquishing the contest fbr the Governorship : To the Republicans of South Carolina: By your will I was made Governor of t^ia State in 1874. At the electiou on the 7th of November last, I was again, by your votes, elected to the same office. My title to the office, upon every legal and moral ground, is . to day clear and perfect. By the recent de * f ?1 - Tfc J i ^ X* C1S100 ana action or tne rreaiuem ui iue United States, I find myself unable longer maintain my official rights with the prospect of final success, and I hereby announce to y.ob that I am unwilling to prolong a struggle which can only bring further suffering upon those who engage in it In announcing this conclusion, it is my doty to say for you that the Republicans of Smith Carolina entered upon their recent political struggle for the maintenance of their politiqal and civil rights. Constituting, beyond question, a large majority of the lawful voters of the State, you allied yourselves with that political party whose ceutral and inspiring pvid| ciple has hitherto been the civil and political freedom of all men under the constitution and laws of our country! By heroic efforts and sacrifices which the just verdict of history will rescue from the cowardly scorn uow cast upon them by political placemen and traders, | you secured the electoral vote of South Carolina for Hayes and Wheeler. In accomplish( ing this result you became the victims of every form of nerseoution and iniurv. From au thentic evidence, it is shown that not less than one hundred of your number were murdered ' because they were faithful to their principles and exercised rights solemnly guaranteed to I them by the nation. You were denied emr ployment, driven from your homes, robbed of the earnings of years of honest industry, hunted for your lives like wild beasts; your families outraged and scattered, for no ofieuse . except your peaceful and firm determination ' to exercise your political rights. You trusted, as you had a right to trust, that if by such | efforts you established the lawful supremacy of your political party in the nation, the government of the United States, in the discharge of its constitutional duty, would protect the | lawful government of the State from overthrow at the hands of your political enemies. ' From causes, patent to all men and questioned by none who regard truth, you have been unable to overcome the unlawful combinations and obstacles which have opposed the practical supremacy of the government which your votes have established. For many weary months you have waited for your deliverance. While the long struggle for the Presidency was in progress, you were exhorted by every representative and organ of the national Republican party to keep your allegiance true . to that party in order that your deliverance from the hands of your oppressors might be certain and complete. Not the faintest whis. per of the possibility of disappointment in these hopes aud promises ever reached you while the struggle was pending. Today, April 10,1877, by the order of the President whom your votes alone rescued from overwhelming defeat, the government of the United States abandons you ; deliberately withdraws from you its support, with the full i knowledge that the lawful government of the ( State will be speedily overthrown. ' By a new interpretation of the constitution ' of the United States, at variance alike with . the previous practice of the government and , the decision of the Supreme Court, the Executive of the United States evades the duty of ascertaining which of two rival State govern| ments is the lawful one, and by the withdraw. al of troops now protecting the State from domestic violence, abaudons the lawful State gov; ernment to a struggle with insurrectionary p forces too powerful to be resisted. The grounds of policy upon which such action is defended are startling. It is said that the North is weary of the long Southern troubles. It was weary, too, of the ' long troubles which sprang from the stupendous crime of chattel slavery and longed for repose. It sought to cover them from sight ^ by wicked compromises with the wrong which * disturbed its peace; but God held it to its duty until, through a conflict which rocked and * agonized the nation, the great crime was put away aud freedom was ordained for all. It is said that if a majority of the people of | a State are unable by physical force to maintain their rights, they must be left to political servitude. Is this a doctrine ever before heard k in our history ? If it shall prevail, its conse[ quences will not Ion* be confined to South Carolina or Louisiana. It i9 said that a Democratic House of RepP resentatives will refuse an appropriation for the army of the United States if the lawful government of South Carolina is maintained I by the military forces. Submission to such coercion mark the degeneracy of the political ! parXy or people which endures it . A govern^ , raent worthy the name, a political party fit to wield power, never before i>lanched'at su6h a threat. ? But tho edict has gone forth. No argui raents or consideration which your friends 1 could present have sufficed to avert the disaster. No effective means of resistance to the , consummation of the wrong are lefy* :The . struggle can be prolonged.

No individual who has read the Bible with * '4 , profit, will, for one moment, deny that it ja the duty of all to pray. We are commanded to pray, and we are encouraged to pray, by being told that God is a prayer-hearing and a prayer-answering God. The God that is revealed to us in the Scriptures, differs from the gods which blinded nations worship, in that while He can hear and see, they are deaf and blind. He can grant the petitions of those who worship him, whilst the gods of the heathen are powerless to bless their worshippers. Admitting, as all sober persons will, the duty to pray, our prayers may be very inconsistent. In language and in sentiment, they may, and often are, wanting in propriety.' One noticeable feature iu the prayers Of some ministers of the gospel, is their didactic character. Instead of pleading with God for blessings, these ministers undertake to instruct God in theology. They begin at the beginning and close at the end of their system. TIip nricrin*1 nnritv of man. when first Dlaced S I J 9 1 upon this earth, is stated ; then follows the fall of man and all its consequences. Strict* IX^orthodoXj according to their creed, the whole plan of redemption is explained, in order, to its author. Not unfrequently, all this is done in strictly technical language?language which a large number of the worshipping congregation do not understand. There must be an impropriety in these didactic prayers. If the people are to be instructed, let them be taught in the sermon. God understands, perfectly, all about the creation and fall of man and the plan by which the sinner is to be saved. But, unfortunately, some persons make their prayers most glaringly improper by explaining the various systems of human government to God.' They seem to be impressed with the notion that it is their duty to give God some information respecting the political condition of their country. Nothing can be more incongruous. Our prayers may be inappropriate on account of the peculiar language in which our petitions are expressed. What the unlearned call "big words," high sounding phrases, poetic sentences, quotations from unknown languages, are absolutely disgusting when used in prayer. These modes of expressing ourselves seems to be an effort to display our learning. What does God care for our learning? In his sight we are all fools. All pomp and display are improper when we attempt to approach into the presence of God as worshippers. Truly pious men, no matter how learned they may be, become very plain-men when they pray. The language in which their petitions are expressed may be strictly correct, but it is very simple. It requires very little human learning to enable 11. A 11 ? HUJ UliO IU prajr. xxi1 wai la icijuiicu jo. a correct scriptural knowledge of God and ourselves. In the prayers of all praying people, there is too much formality. God is asked to bestow blessings which the asker really does not desire. Nothing would surprise the church more, than would an answer to the prayers which are offered up by its many members. Multitudes pray?that is they go through a certain form?utter a certain amount of words, ask for blessings which they do not desire and would not receive if offered to them. All this the world calls prayer; but it is not. This is not all. Men pray for blessings that they may use them not for the glory of God and the good of their fellow-men, but that they may consume them upon their lusts. 4,Ye ask and receive not becauee ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it (the blessing asked for) upon your lusts." James, 4:3. * ~ [Original.] THE EXISTENCE OF GOD. The first article in the creed of every good man, is the belief in the existence of a Su prerae Being. Me who has correct notions concerning God, may be regarded aa orthodox ; whilst he whose ideas of God are incorrect, is heterodox. He who denies the existence of God can have no religion. On the I contrary, the individual who believes in the existence of a God, must have some sort of religion. It will be found that according to the notions of individuals respecting God, so will be their religion. Few individuals are, in reality, atheist^; biit many have erroneous ideas respecting God. This fact satisfactorily accounts for the great diversity of religious practices which prevail in the world. It is important that every individual be satisfied in his mrind respecting the existence of God. This,- together with a correct knowledge of the character of God, will have a controlling effect upon all our actions. The existence of God may be proven by the express declarations contained in the Bible and by the works of creation and providence. The caviling infidel may say that we are not at liberty to use the Bible, until we have proven that there is a God ; and then, that Godjij the author of the Bible. A little refiectiou will makp if. manifpftf,.that this is an unreason able demand. 'The Bible declares plainly, and frequently that there iB a God who created and governs all things. A statement is made, and it is our proviuce to use the means within our power to ascertain whether it If true or false. In this particular, we may use the Bible, just as we would, under similar circumstances, use any other book, no matter who may claim to be its author. Whether we could discover the existence of God without the Bible or not, is another question. All of us have learned some things from books, which claim to be only the productions of men, which we never would have known . if we had been deprived of the use of these books. It.will be taken for granted that tbe.Bible teaches the existence of God. This declaration is either true or false. If it is false, hew are we to account for the world ? How dic| the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth and the countless millions of beings which swam on its bosom and sport in its waters, come j - 4 ~ O Will I * kn flnM ikaf f Via ajnrM ' llllO C&lBLCIiUO 1 YY 111 lb UO oaiu vuwv vuu ?i v*<v? made itself? The human mind revolts at such an idea. No human being can compre; hend what self-creation means. It involves an impossibility. It supposes a thing to be before it is. There was a time when it was not, and yet if it created ilself it icted before it had an existence. No one can believe this. If it be said that the world is the result of certain laws. .-Grant it; but it maybe inquired who made those laws? If it is said j they are nature's laws. Grant this also ; butj who made nature? If it is replied nature was not made, but is self-existent, then Nature is God and the maker of all things. J. The harmony which exists?jynong all parts of creation, confirms the Scripture doctrii^e j respecting the existence of God. The goVi ernment of the world must fill every reflecting mind with wonder and astonishment. tronomers tell us that the world revolve! I around the sun at the rate of eighteen miles a second. This is more than railroad speedit is swifter than a cannon ball. Notwithstanding this marvellous speed at which the earth dashes round a circle whose diameter is two hundred millions of miles, there is not a single jar. The inhabitants of the earth lie down and sleep as soundly as if the earth was at perfect rest. For near six thousand years, the earth has been dashing around the san at this wonderful speed, and not one single accident has ever happened. It has never run off the track. It has never stopped since the earth had an existence. There has been summer and wiuter, cold and heat, seed-time and harvest This is not all. The earth revolves on ita own axis once in twenty-four hours. At the equator, the inhabitants of the earth are carried from east to west, twenty-five thousand miles, in twenty-four hours, or more than one thousand miles in each hour. Every three hundred and sixty-five days, the inhabitants of the earth are carried, by the earth's revolution around the sun, six hundred millions of miles; and in the same length of time, by the daily revolution of the earth on its own axis, those who live near the equator travel, from east to west, three hundred and sixty-five thousand miles. The two motions of the earth in no way either retard or accelerate each other. In view of these wonderful facts, will any one say there is no God who made and governs the world ? There most be a God and he must be a great God, or the earth and everything on it, or in any way connected with it, would be dashed to pieces in less than a moment.
