ha<3 married in his better days the sister of
Moses Felton.
At le.rigth all hiopes were given up.-.
\Yeek after week would the palish man lie
drunk on the floor, and not a day of real
Bobrialy'fniaybedi’'Wi eowr/ie. .-I doubt if
aytfih another case was known. He was too
law for ; copviyiality, for those whom he
would have associated with would not drink
‘‘With him.
‘“ AlFakme ia his office and chamber, he:
still continued to drink, and even his very
life seemed the offspring of his jug.
In early spriafMosee Felton had a call
AagOi to Ohio. Before he seteput he Tisit
ednis sister. He offered to take her with
him, but she would not go.
•in %ii why stay here ?’ urged the brother.
f Yon are fading away, and disease is upon
Why should you live with such a
brute V
;Hugb, Moses, speak not,’ answered the
Wife, keeping back her tears. ‘I will not
leave him now, but he will soon leave me.
iH@ can not live, touch longer.’ i . 1
At that moment Daniel entered tho
apartment. He looked like a wanderer
from the tomb. He had his hat on and his
Jug in his hand. ‘Ah, Moses, how are ye ?’
he gasped, for he could not speak plainly.
The visitor looked at him a few moments
insifeoee. Then, as his features assumed a
cold, stern expression, he said in a strongly
emphasized tone :
‘Daniel Bryan, I have been yonr best
ffiejuf bflt one.' My sister is an angel,
though inatebed with a demon. I have
loved you, Daniel, as I never loved man
before ; you were generous, noble and kind;
but I hate you now; for you are a perfect
devi) incarnate, Look at that woman.—
She is my sister—she might now live with
me in comfort, only that she will not do it
while .yod arer alive*; when you die she will
come to me. Thus do I pray that God will
soon give her joyß to my keeping. Now,
Daniel, I do sincerely hope that the first
intelligence that reaches me from my na

new home may be—that— you are dead I’

reformed half the sinners of creation, and
youace lower than ever before. Go and
die, ssr, as soon you can, foi* the moment
that sees you thus will not find nie among
Ab£ mourners.’
?|*2J|ryan’s eyes flashed, and he drew himself
jtyftmdly ,up. ..‘Go,’.he said,, in the tone of
Aha old sarcasm. ‘Go to Ohio, and-I’ll
send yon news'. 1 i Go, sir, and watch the
post. I will yet make yon .take back your
words.’
.1 'Never, Daniel Bryan, never V
‘You shall ! I swear it !’
With these words Daniel Bryan hurled
the jug into the fire-place, and while yet a
thousands fragments were flying over the
ti floor; he strode from the house. •
Mary sank fainting on the floor. Moses
bpte her to the bed, and then, having call
• edin a neighbor, he hurried away, for the
stage was waiting. 1 :
For a ;molith Daniel; moved over the
brink of the grave, but he did not die.
‘OnWgili of will you,’ said
oe df&Ufc 'who saw that the abrupt refiiov
‘ STof stimulants.from a system that fo* long
years nad almost subsisted.on nothing else
was nearly sure to prove fatal. ‘You can
surely take a gill and not take any more.’
‘Aye,’ gasped the poor man, ‘take a gill
and break.my oath. Moses Felton shall
'never hear that brandy and rum killed me !
If the want of it can kill me, then let me
die; but I won’t die—l’ll live till Moses
Felton shall eat bis words.’
He did live.A An. iron will conquored the
! messenger death sent —Daniel Bryan lived.
For one month he could not even walk
without help. Mary helped him.
A year passed away, and Mpses Felton

‘Court-house at Burlington, and Danial

Dow Discovering a Thief.
After Lorenzo Dow had retired to bed
after a bard'days travel, ia western part of
Virginia, a number of persons collected in
the bar-room to enjoy their usual revelries,
as was the custom in that part of the coun
try. At a late hour in the night the alarm
was given that one of the company had lost
his pocket book, and a search proposed,
whereupon the landlord remarked that Lo
renzo Dow was in the honse, and that if the
money was there, he knew that Lorenzo
could find it. The suggestion was instant
ly received with approbation and accor
dingly Mr. Dow was aroused from his slum
ber, and brought' forth to find the money.
As he entered the room his eyes ran
through the company with searching inqui
ry, but, nothing appeared that could fix
guilt upon any one. The loser appeared
with a countenance expressive of great con
cern, and besought Mr, Dow for HeaveD s
sake to find the money.
. “Have any left the company since yon
lost yonr money ?” said Mr. Dow.
“None,” said the loser,.”
Then said Lorenzo, turning to the land
lord, "go and bring me a large dinner pot.”
This created no little surprise. But as
supernatural powers were universally con
ceded, bis directions were unhesitatingly
.Obeyed. Accordingly the pot was brought
"forward and set in the middle of the room.
“Now," said Lorenzo, “ go and bring the
old chicken cock from the roost.”
This was also done, and at Lorenzo’s di
rections, the cock was placed in the pot
and covered over with a board or lid.
"Let the doors now be fastened and the
lights extinguished,” said Mr. Dow, which
was also done. .
“Now,” said, he, “every person in the
room 'must rub his hands hard against the
pot, and when the gafity hand touches it the
cock will crow.”
Accordingly all came toward, and rubbed,
or pretended to rub agains the pot—But
■- no cock crowed.
i “Let the candles now be lighted, said
Lorenzo, “there is no guilty person here.
If the man had any money he most have
lost it somewhere else. But stop,” said
Lorenzo, when all things were prepared,
“let us now examine the hands.”
•' This was the important part of his ar
rangement. For on examination, it was
found that one man had not rubbed against
the pot. The other hands being black with
soot from the pot wasa proof of their inno
cence* . _ ...
“There,” said Lorenzo pointing to the
man with clean hands, “there is the man
who picket your pocket.”
The culprit seeing his detection, at once
acknowledged his guilt.
Negrow Suffrage—The Freedman.
The following communication comes to us from
a citizen Of north Oorolina, who lived in that
State during the rebellion, and has just arrived
In this city. He expresses the thoughts, we may
suppose, of a considerable number of persons in
th 4 South j and we print his communication, not
becaase we agree with him, or approve of all he
says, but because we think any expression of the
feelings, wishes and aims of Southern men, hon
estly made, is valuable at this time:
“ The opinion seems to be gaining ground that

N. Y. Evening Post.
A Plea for “ Secretary” Mallory.
[Prom the Richmond Republic.]
We have lately seen some reference made to
Mr. Mallory, said to have besfi Secretary of the
Navy in the Confederate Cabinet, but a person
who made so faint an impression upon the public
mind that, when the Confederacy collapsed, he
was remembered as little as the jollyboat that
disappears with the wreck of a ship. We are
not altogether certain that the Secretary Of the
Navy was not a myth. Cortainly, if thl term
“ so-called” could ever be applied with universal
acceptation to any officer of the Government of
Mr. Davis, it undoubtedly belonged to Mr. Mal
lory. His friends might with entire propriety
rest his defence upon two grounds ; Ist, That
here was no navy. 2d. That if there was, he
Was no Secretary. To call him the head of a
department would have been a piece of innocent
pleasantry in the days of disunion, but to main
tain it now is a serious joke. We hasten to put
in a word in his behalf.
A woman who was once arraigned on ©charge
of infanticide, or a crime that sometimes leads
to it, put in the defence that the child was a very
little one. We beg to enter a similiar appeal for
Mr Mallory. He was an amiable gentleman, a
sort of a handsome figure head of a man-of-war,
L but nothing else. The United States owes him
a debt of gratitude for the constitutional love of
ease and the untiring indolence with which he
rocked himself to sleep on the roliiiig billows of
civil strife. It would have been difficult to pick
up a cabin boy in the merchant service who
could be more dangerous to his employers or
more likely to set the ship on fire by going to
sleep with a lighted candle in his hands. The
fat boy in the Pickwick Papers was a miracle of
vigilance and energy to that “so-called,, Secre
tary.
Mr. Mallory bad a specialty, however, which
kept the public from entirely disbelieving his ex
istence. It was a strange passion for creating
rams, and then, deliver them, offering them up
as burnt-offerings. He was always building and
always burning rams. He would have been an.
admirable Secretary of the Navy in the inland
German Principality that Goethe speaks of,
whose military force consisted of one colonel, six
officers and two privates. He might have held
the same position tvith advantage in Prussia
down to the acquisition of her single seaport of
Kiel. He might even have answered for a Lord
of the Admiralty in England at a time when it
was the custom to order a midshipman to report
for duty to a ship that was on the stocks, and
which was so long in building that the young
ster generally became an old man with a dozen,
children before she was ready for sea. * For a
drydock department, or any other department
of a sawdust character, he would have been the
right man in the right place. In the position
that he actually held he entitled himself to a pen
sion from the United States. It would be en
tirely useless, however, for the Government to
release him if they expect him to take the trouble
to walk outof prison. It is impossible to dis
lodge him from any place except, by his own
favorite process with Confederate rams—of blow
ing him up. Nothing but the explosion that sent
up the Confederacy could induce him to travel
from this location. Even then, whilst every one
knew that agile masterspirit of mischief, J. P.
Benjamin, would alight upon his feet, every one
knew that Mallory would show the inertness,
mentioned in a veracious anecdote, of the man
who was so indolent that some qf his neighbors
attempted to scare him into doing something for
the support of his family, and consequently put
him into a coffin and told him they would bury
him alive. When driving along with the hearse,
a neighbor came out and asked vrbo was dead.
“No one.” said the driver, “ but we are going
to bury John Smith alive: he is too fond of his
ease to remain above ground ; he will be sure to
starve.” “Don’t bury him alive,” said tho
man- “that would be cruel, indeed; rather
than do that I’ll give him two bushels of corn.”
“Is it shelled? 1 ’ said the lazy man, in a very
faint voice, from the coffin. “No,” said the
compassionate one. “ Weil, then,” replied John,
“ drive on, boys.”
Education in the South.
Education is the only tiling that can bring
the masses of the Southern people under the influ
ence of the general sentiment of the conntry.—
We have been speaking of the emancipation of
the poor whites of the South. The poor whites
will not be emancipated until they are lifted out
Of their bottomless ignorance. A very intelligent
gentleman from Alabama with whom I had a
conversation about this subject, told me that on
every plantation of fifty to sixty slaves he could
pick out from fifteen to eighteen negroes that
were in point of intelligence far above the average
of the poor whites. As long as that ignorance
and the stupid prejudices fostered by it remain
unbroken, that whole class of people will hang
like a clog at the feet of every progressive move
ment. Then there are the blacks themselves
Who is there here to teach them ? No Southern
white man or woman will do it, for, as I have
been told a hundred times, no man that' respects
himself would degrade himself so far a3 to make
it a business to teach in nigger schools.
Here is a fair field of activity for the mission
ary spirit of the North. Nothing that charitable
benevolence can do for the South is more impor
tant than this. There is at the present moment
probably not a single school in operation in the
interior of this State and there will be but few
next winter, unless teachers are sent and paid by
the North. I admit the labor will not be of
the pleasantest for the individuals engaged. In
many localities they will have to combat stubborn
prejudices, for some of the hard-shell Baptist
poor whites are of theopinion that “larnin is
an evil thing. At other places, where negro
schools are to be started, the teachers must expect
to meet frowning faces and insulting sneers on
the part of the “ superior race,” but as long as
the military are here, there will be no danger.
When you speak to Southerners about the ne
cessity of educating the negroes and poor whites,
some of them will go so far as to tell you that it
it a matter worthy of consiberation. When you
ask them what they are going to do about it,
they will reply that they do not know; the/
reckon they cannot do any thing at present.—
When you suggest that the people ought to tax
themselves for that purpose, they will reply in
nine cases out of ten, that the people cannot af
ford now to spend monev for such things; that
the people are poor and must be economical;
that, besides, the people do not trouble themselves
much about the matter; poor whites do not earo
to be educated, and if niggers want to be educa
ted, they must pay for it themselves. This said,
the’ matter is dropped with indifference. It will
require the experience of many years to make
many Southern men belonging to the “en
lightened” class understand that an efficient sys
tem of popular education is the very fountain
frem which free-labor society draws its strength
and health. They are apt to recoil even from tho
difficulties with which the diffusion of useful
knowledge among the poor whites issurionnded;
much less are they likely to trouble themselves
about the education of the blacks.
It is proper, nay it is necessary, that the teachers
sent here to instruct the negroes should be in
spired with a sincere sympathy for the race.—
But it is also very important that they should
have cool heads. Their judgment should not be
too weak for their enthusiasm. They should be
able to see things as they are, and not act upon
the presumption that the negroes, because they
1 are entitled to our sympathy, must therefore bo
' faultless. When explaining to them their rights,
they should not forget to mention the duties
1 which the enjoyment of those rights devolves
* upon them. They will serve the colored people
be3t by giving them sober advice. They must
’ keep in mind that the negroes will have to live
1 together with the white people of these States,
and that in the end it will be far better to har
> monize their interests and feelings, than to em
-1 bitter their relations by exciting addresses.-Bos
