For the great festival of peace.

AnJ let it float uiulimnied above,
Till over all our vales shall bloom
The sacred colors that we love.
On mountain high, and hill top low, ivit ' in

You bring them men and heroes back!

With sorrow of the martyr'd band;
Not even for him whose hallowed dust

Two girls sat in Mrs. North’s nursery
one told January evening to enjoy the
comfortable fire! The maid of all worhs
was busy beside the evening lamp repair
ing an old gingham aprou. It waS a very
unpromising piece of work when she be
gan, but she worked away with a cheerful
good will and soon its appearance was
greatly improved. Susan might, it is true
have bought her a new apron without any
inconvenience ; she had three hundred
dollars out at interest, a legacy frpm her
grandfather, but she prudently let it remain
where it was, content with receiving her
interest from it every year, and supple
menting it with her earnings. Many had said
to her they would not live out, now they could
do better. “Why not invest her mo
ney learning a trade, which would be far
more genteel ?” But Susan was stout and
hearty, work agreed with her, and sewing
did not. She felt that if she did her duty
and deported herself properly,, she would
be as mtrch respected- doing housework as
if sewing l for a living. 1
The children were all asleep, and the
nurse was rocking leisurely beside the tire,
while a truukful of unmended clothes lay
untouched in her room.
“Before I’d patch an apron ! Susie,” she
said laughing ; “I know you will be au old
maid, you are so particular.”
“I would rather patch than wear ragged
clothes,” said Susan good naturedly. “I
will not wear a torn dress if i can help it,
but I have one which has a whole breadth
made up. of darns and .patches. I wore it
last winter through, and it will make good
carpet rags, now.”
Jane rocked and laughed away at her
prudish companion, and Mrs. North, who
was knitting by the table, remarked to
Jane that it would be an excellent thing if
she would follow Susan’s example.
“I learned a lesson 'in economy when a
young girl, which I never have forgotten,
though it was from a very simple thing.—
I was spending the night with a young
friend, when her sister-in-law had occasion
to cut out a new dress for her child. They
were poor people, but she took down a roll
of carefully ironed pieces of stout cloth
and laid; them out on her patterns, study
ing carefully-over them, to see how she
could piece out a lining to the best advan
tage. ■ She was neither miserly nor parsi
monious ; she was only frugal, and her
frugality was the secret of the family’s pros
perity. The dress looked just as neatly
when it was done, as if the lining had not
been made out of half a dozen pieces. Hot?

had been a wasteful, untidy woman, he
Would, never have had the means nor the
heart to rise in the world.
“Girls you may set it down as a fact, that
a woroatTwho is not prudent and economi
cal will never secure a comfortable livings
even if she marries a man with ever so 1-
cra,t;ive a-busiqess. If there is not thrift
at hiome, there will never be a cheerM,.
comfortable look about anything. You
know Mrs. Herron is always fretting' be
cause her husband does not get on in the
world. She has a drawer lull of finery,
china-ware and the tike, she is saving up
until she shall get a better home and have
a parlor.” Her husband makes good wages,
but it wiihbeia long time I am afraid be
fore she will get into that coveted house.
She thinks it “mean” tq practice the small
economies— to warm the frying-pan and
save the little drippings of suet, to piece
out linings, make over old clothes into les
ser ones for the children; She will have a
new sett of cheap jewelry every little.while,
that she may,‘look like ; other folks.’ Now
there are plenty oi other laboring men who
make no more than he, who have now a lit

“YIU will never be anything,” said un old
man who was sealed near them. The lads
turned, not well pleased at the interrup

The New Dispensation.
I The following editorial from the Macon
(Ga.) Telegraph, is worthy of being read by
every former slavd owner. It shows, that
at least pome of the Southern people have
a disposition to meet the new order of
things in the rigbt.spirit. Dhe overthrow
of slavery makes a radical change in the
management of households and plantations.
The custouuof having a host of servants
about the house, never more than half em
ployed, will be broken up.. A smaller num
ber will be found to ;do the work more qui
etly, thoroughly ahd promptly. People
will learn to give a little more personal at
tention to household affairs ; and in this, as
in many other particulars, they will fiDd
themselves gainers by the change.— [Eds.
“ Economy in labor will lead us to use
all the unemployed hands at bur control,
and of those dependent upon us, in order
that in this way the fewest possible mouths
may have to be fed, and fewest possible
backs to be clothed. Our o.wu hands have
been accustomed to lie idle, while work in
the compass of our abilities has beeu per
formed by others; and we (ear the innocent
(liildren in our midst will be ready to lift
up their voices against us, for suggesting
to their parents that their hands might; in
a much greater degree, bo honestly and
more usefully employed than they have
been, in assisting thejr parents, whose they
are, and to whom they owe service at least
for a well determined and definite period
of their age. But as our object is to speak
fearlessly the truth, not for the injury, but
for the benefit, of all, we must be permitted
to say that much of the labor about a farm
and a household, which has been formerly
committed to slaves and hired persons, cau
be more pleasantly, economically and effec
tually performed by our own hands, or those
of our children. Will our people attend to
this matter? As reasoning persons we
know that they will.”
The mistress of the house will find a
great change in her own duties, and though
it is disagreeable to have one’s accustomed
habits and routine broken up, she will soon
discover that, though different, her cares
are not so much more increased as she an
ticipated. The diminution of the number
of the family, will be found by many house
keepers a great relief. That long row of
unsightly negro cabins, that have spoiled
the general appearance of her home, and
which were a constant eye sore to one ap
preciating neatness and order,, can now be
torn dojvn an 4 removed. One or two rooms
will be quite enough for the. necessary
household servants, and. these it will cost
little to make externally tasteful and keep
painted. On her will no longer fall in ad
dition iO’the material care ot her own babes,
the nurture of every child born on the plan
tation, not. one in ten of which could
be reared, if left to their thoughtless and
indifferent mothers. She will likewise bp
relieved from the care of the sick. Some
one of the negroes was sure to be ailing,
iand they were sure to demand some kind
of attention or medicine from their mistress.
She will be relieved top, from the daily
over sight and worry she has hereto expe
ienced in keeping those of, her house ser
vants able to work,usefully engaged, and at,
peace with each other. On country planta
tions She will feel still more relieved, for
the oatMfig out and haviug made up the
vast piles of negro clothing required to
furnish every squl ( upon the place, for win
ter and summer use, no longer falls to her
share. Tom and Jim and Sambo must nqw
buy or steal their own clothing and provide
it also for their own families, for mistress
has nothing farther to do w.itb it. “Dem
Yankees have been and done, and set mis
sus free.” —•*--
With the reduced number of servants,
she will find that she will get just about as
much of her own work done as before, and
if anything is neglected or missing, she will
know now whom to charge wiih the delin
quency. With the gang of little negroes
turned off, therqis some chaqpe.qf the fami
ly itself enjoying a large portion of the pro
ducts of. their orchards and garden.
But in hot own household —especially in
fowns —the duties of the mistress will be
increased; But as .hinted in the article
above,it will be no injury to her children;
to call upon them for help The girls cau
take care cf their own chambers, and the
family room 9, and to require them to do it,
will be a life-long benefit to them. If they
have to pick tip and arrange what they
have carelessly scattered, to remove the
dirt and litter they bring in, they will soon
be educated to neat and orderly habits, and
a single actiye house servant will tbeu be
quite* sufficient ia ordinary families, to do
the absolutely unpleasant but needful
household drudgery outside the kitchen,
fehe can then justly be held responsible for
whatever is Blissing out of the house, in
the way of those articles of clothing and
little things generally, that negro house

appropriating, but. never know wbat has

in a nurse’s arms afi the time. They need
their’daily walks or rides ih the open air,
but a large part of the time if the eye oF thp
mother is-ou them* they are better off in
their,cribs or on the floor, crawling or tum

gro influence, while ydung, are more likely
to become’ worthy men and women, than it
brought up among the young heatheus
which we have always kept swarming about
our back yards ready for all manner ol mis
chief and deviltry. '
The arrangement of our dwellings, and ol
the necessary offices or buildings about
them is, such as vastly to
increase the ainoynt pf household labor.—
The kitchea is s 8 far from the house, that
it is a great task for the mistress to ven
ture there, and Aunt Ghloe, who seldom
desired her presence, has ruled supreme
therein, and her demands for flour, lard,
sugar, &c., all duly honored* have hitherto
bepu just.-twice;that,which was really con
sumed by the family. Those mistresses
who, when sugar, &c., became so dear, took
the makihg of their cake.'and pastry into
their Own hatvds, have Totted', that with half
[he amount of each ingredient, they are
able to fit up a [better dessert than the
cook used to do. Our cooks lxave not even

Bo’iije of it. up stai s.”
The kitchen being thus distant from the
dining room, the well or spring is perhaps
100 yds 1 or 150 yards off from both, while
the wood'pile—for that great institution, a
wood-house, is to uS almost unknown—is
in another direction still, and the smoke
house stands off by iteelMn another course,
thus making the best ; possible arrangement
to give the greatest amount of exercise to
those employed in household duties. Now
the new state of affairs will make a radical
Change necessary in the position of our
outbuilding*,
The communication of the rooms with
each other, in our dwellings, is frequently
such as to vastly increase the cumber of
steps required. Besides, the rooms are so
open, and the fire-places so defective, that
three times the necessary amouDt of fuel is
consumed. At! things, now that our labor
must all he-paid for, will have to be con
sidered ; but we cannot pursue this train
of thought farther in this number, and will
resume it hereafter.”
Taking the Oath.
A correspondent of the World, writing
from Richmond; relates an incident as fol
lows :
“Taking of oaths reminds me of a local
jokd which my pen Cannot resist recording.
A modest young country girl on applying
for rations to one of our relief agents a
ffiw days ago, was asked if she had ever
taken the oath. “No, indeed, sir,” was her
lerriGed reply, “I never swore in all my
life.” “But you must take the oath, my
good girl,” said the agent, “or 1 cannot
give you the rations.” “No, indeed, I
can’t, sir,” said the girl ; “mother always
taught me never to swear.” The agent
mildily persisted, and the maiden as perti
naciously refused all attempts at persuasion,
until overcome at last by the dreadful con
flict between necessity and her high sense
of moral duty, she stammered out, with
downcast lids, “well, sir, if you will make
me do such a horrid, wicked thing— d n
pie Yankees /”
Unemployed General Officers. —A gen
eral order, says a Washington correspon
dent is expected soon to be issued, muster
ing out unemployed general officers who
still remain in the service drawing heavy
salaries and doing no duty.
It is estimated that nearly two hundred
Generals are still on tho pay rolls, in addi
tion to those who have been assigned to
duty in the several military departments of
the country. Most of these unemployed
Generals have Staff officers attached to
their suite, drawing pay and performing no
duty. An invitation was given some timo
since to General officers to resign,
and many sensitive and public spirited offi
cers immediately tendered their resignations
and returned to oiyil pursuits, but the ma
jority can’t see the point.
They hold on tenaciously, and will not
leave the service until mustered ont, and
various influences are brought to bear by
some to secure easy positions or to delay
the muster out as lougae possible. There
i 3 no good reason why a General should
not be discharged, or, if he is a regular ar
my officer, returned to his regiment or com
mand, when his division or brigade ceases
to exist, just as regimental and company
officers and privates, who, when theft ser
vices are not needed, are promptly muster
ed out.
In the present state of national finances
when the Secretary of the Treasury is tax
ed to the utmost to make both ends meet,
the issuing of the order discharging all
useless officers will medt with unqualified
approval everywhere.
Reconstruction.— There have been ma
ny contradictory statements of late as to
differences between. President Johnson and
his Cabinet in relation to the “reconstruc
tion” of tho late rebellious States, in re
gard to the policy proper to be pursued,
etc., which aro prooounced unreliable by a
despatch from Washington, which also says
t‘that there is not now, nor is it believed
there will be any substantial or material
difference between the President and his
Cabinet with regard to'tho restoration of
the Southern States.” One of the reasons
for this assertion is the-fact that all tho
proclamations appointing Provisional Gov
ernors are iq precisely the same words,
founded on the Tennessee arrangement, and
maturely considered by the President and
approved by the Cabinet, showing a care
fully considered ‘plan,’ of which the Amnes
ty Proclamation is a part. From the as
sertions- of the President's intimate friends,
it is known that he is determined to pursue
substantially the programme he has already
laid down, having reasonable evidence from
all the South that it will be successful—
Many of the 1 accounts from that section
are said to be exaggerated, and a misrepre
sentation of the true state of public opin
ion.

■ j The Dry Tortugas. —There are sever
al islands'bearing the name of Tortuga.—
The term is Spanish and signifies a tortoise.
The “Dry Tortugas” constitute an island
group and bauk in the Gulf of Mexico,
about 120 miles west of Capo Sable, in.Flor
kla. There are ten islets or .keys in all.—
They consist of a coral formation, and have
little vegetation except mangrove bushes.
On one of them, known as “Bufch key” and
♦Garden Key,’ a lighthouse has been erect
ed. At the beginning of the rebellion the
Government undertook the construction of
Fort Jefferson, and sent thither refractory
nersons-to work upon the fortifications. —
They are too remote from any populated
place to enable prisoners to obtain means
of escape ; too desolate to invite trading
(vessels; and all articles of food must be
supplied by Government transports. The
place furnishes a secure rather than attrac
tive place of residence. This is wue-re the
conspirators are confined.
His Last Bow.—“My dearest uncle,”
says a humorous writer, “was the most po
lite mania the world. He was making a
voyage ou tjge Danube, and the boat sunk.
My uncle was just on the point of drown
ing. He got his head above the water for
once, took off his hat, and said, ‘Ladies and
gentlemen, will you please excuse me ?’
and down he went.”
(gfThe Pekin Gazette contains a report
from tho Chinese Government on the ex
tinction of the rebellion, whi.ch ends with
the following words :—“lt is, therefore,
most needful that thanks be offered to the
gods lor their assistance. Wherefore the
Board of Rites is directed into
the services rendered by the different gods,
and report to us.”
Rhode Islaudlud, under examina

asked, “llow many Gods are there.?” the
