"SOME THINGS CA2i be OTHERS." do: AS Mrs. Giles stood ia the front yard, hanging up her Monday's wash; tho last piece had found its place upon the line. Done at last,' said Mrs. Giles, speaking to herself, a habit which she ffecfaeutiy indulged. 'Now, if dinriciyvvagut of tho "way, I taiiLiT-e tiiixe to finish Leoncrd'a suit this afternoon; 1 ve had itl around so long. If I only had a sewing machine, how much I could accomplish;' and picking up her basket, she went into the house. The prospect within was not very cheering: the washtub "to clear away and the dinner to place upon the table. Just as she began to lay the table, Mr. Giles appeared at the door, and said : 'Put on an -extra plate; that man will take dinner with us.' l)inuer va3 soon ready aud as scon despatched, for ceremony wa3 one of the unknown things in the Giles family. Mr. Giles and the stranger retired to the sitting room to discuss the merits of a new rea. per and mower, while Mrs. Giles remained aud cleared away the dinner table. When she had fini ished and made herself ready for the afternoon, she went into sitting room. Mr. Giles was saying : 'if you have anything new and better, anything that will make work easier and do more cf it, I'm your man ! I'm in. favor of all machinery that will lighten work for man. Why, bless you, just look around my farm; it's ruu mostly by machinery.' 'Profitable ? certainly,' replied he to an interrogation from the stranger. Money in the bank,' he added, never omitting an occasion of mentioning a small deposit he had in the city bank. The strariger was gone at last, nnd Mrs. Giles sat down with weary limbs and aching shoulder to finish a suit of clothes she wa3 making for her oldest son, a lad of fifteen. KSlnwlv ami t.fai-ilv llifl neediG went in ana out: Mitch after stitch was ? llien ut to 4e ?rpose; it dia j seem as if fhe would never come to the last. But if stitches progressed ly, her thoughts flew fast enoueh. The last words of her husband linerered in her mind, and again they recurred to her.. i es, men can have their buru ens lightened, but poor women may ructge. Lvery vear (jriles has au- ded something new to his farming implements, while I have to plod aionir with haruiy sulncient uten sil3 to cook a decent dinner; an old stove without a boiler cr a whole jrriddle and a cracked door. No wonder I can't bake a loaf of broad lecentlv. Then here I have to sit and stitch for a week on thi3 suit when two hours on a machine would complete it.' It is needless to record all ot Mrs. Giles'thoughts and word3 as she sat stitching the hours away. A dim consciousness of her wrongs and a faint determination to assert her rights, was entering my mind. She had so long given up her T 1 1. Jl opinions, set aside ner neeas anu fostered the selfishness ot her nus- band, that it was hard to break (hroush the meshei ot hubit which his stern will had woven around her. The afternoon wore away and Mrs. Giles laid aside the unfinished garment to prepare the evening meal. The next morning at breakfast sho remarked to her husband that an agent for a sewing machine had called the day previous and wished her to try one of his machines. 'I told him.' she said, 'he might leave one when he came next week.' Mr. Giles laid down his knife and fork and sat with utter amazes meat depicted on his countenance. 'A sewing machine !' he gasped, when he recovered himself. 'lie needn't leave any of his newsfang led humbugs here; 1 have no use for them.' 'You!' interrupted he; 'don't see what use vou have for a machine. You could never learn to use it; or if you did, what have you to sew ' Only my clothes and the boys.' W omen, nowadavs, are gitiing mighty independent, wanting mas chines to do their work; to lazy to do it themselves. Suppose they want to gad about the gossip about their neighbors.' 'Why, Phillip ' 'Woman's work is nothing,' con tinued Mr. Giles, not heeding the interruption. 'My mother had not of as many conveniences for doing her work as you have, yet she always had her meals regular and well cooked, and that is more than can say of you. No, I don't want any sewing machine about my house. God made as good a sew ing machine as I want when he mado woman.' . With this ultimatum he left the table and taking bis hat, mounted his horse and roda away to look at the new reaper he contemplated buying. One by one the members of the family finished their breakfast and passed out, leaving Mrs. Giles al one. She sat with her head resting upon her hand; her. thought wan dered back to the days when, in the freshness of her youth, she gave her heart's deepest and best affec tions to Thillip Giles. Blined by iter great love for him she saw not the extreme selfishness nor coarse- ness of .his nature. She implicit ly believed all his promises and heeded not the warning of her friends. J It seemed a long time since that 60 many shadows had darkened tlteir pathway; darker yet -. .seemed to grow life's rugged journey. Gko saw her six sons growing up around her, amidst rough and evil influs ences, without the ability to couns teract them. Mrs. Giles remained a long time bowed over that break fast table, praying with a sens of helplessness a feeling of need, such as she had never before experinced. A loud rap at the door startled her. On opening it she found Mr. Ilarrig had called to pay ff.a note which had long been due; a note Mr. Giles had often declared he should never be able to collect. 'The poor wretch,' he insisted, 'will never be able to save enough, to pay his honest debts, while his wife spends all his earnings on such foolish things as washing machine.' Mrs. Giles informed Mr. Harris ef her husband's absence, but said she would attend to ' the business. When all was satisfactorily settled and Mr. arris had gone, ' Mrs. Giles sat for some time looking at the roll of money in her hand. ., At length a new thought came in her mind. Carefully placing the bills in her pocket, she went into the kitchen and hurriedly finished the morning'3 work and then r ess i ing herself, she walked down to the station, which was but a quarter of a mile distant. Sne was just in time for the morning train for the city, ten mileB away. It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon when she returned home. Mr. Giles was still absent: Leonard the eldest son, stood in the yard with the team. 'Ileigho, mother,' taid he, Jwas just going to look for you. I thought it was too bad For you al ways to have to walk.' 'Well, my son,' she replied, 'you would not have found me, I have been to the city.' 'The city ! Gee whitaker 1' and Leonard gave a prolonged whistle. 'Y'cs.' said Mrs. Giles getting into the wairsn, 'and now I wish vou to rro to the station with me 1 9 and bring home my purchases. Leonard mounted beside her, say ing, 'And so the old man did shell out tor once m his liie and jrave you a lttle money, did he V Mrs. Giles reproved Leonard for speaking thus of his father, but he continued : 'Well, I can't help it. I think it a mean shame. He never gives you a cent to spend, but sends you to the store at the corner with the same old order : 'rlase let the bearer have what she needs.' I would make it convenient to need a great many things if I were you.' It was late when Mr. Giles re turned. He hastily dismounted and save his horse to one of the bovo. Enterins the house he called for his supper in no gentle tones. Fortunately supper was just ready. JZaving satisfied his ravenous appe tite, he arose from the table, say ins : 'Come bovs, it s time you were in bed. I'll want you by daybreak in the morninsr :' and setting the example, he went to bed and was soon asleep. About eleven o'clock Mrs. Giles having finished her work and made preparations for an early breakfast, retired to rest. Being very much fatigued by the day's excitement, she soon slept heavily After the firstnap Mr. Giles was restless and uneasy; he tossed and turned from side to side, but no more sieen for him. He concluded to get up. Having dressed himsel ne took tho candle and proceeded to the kitchen. The slender tallow dm threw a und light aroun the room. Things seemed to have strangely changed sinco morning, liaising the light above his head, he gased long and earnestly around the kitchen. There stood a new stove, with its black and polished face, smiling upon; him a row oi bright and shining tin ware neat ly arangad on the shelf behind it. Turning around his eye fell upon a washing machine with a wringer attached; taking hold of the crank and giving a turn or two he said : t 'A sewing machine, by thunder ! But how in the name of common sense they sew upon it i3 moro than I can tell.' Placing the candle on the table he came in contact with a ptent churn. .What! another blasted concern : i'cliy : he screameu, eeizing the candle and hurrying back into the sleepins room. In his haste his foot caught in the framework of a sewii machine and he fell full length in tha middle of the floor, while the candle found a resting place on the ! opposite side of the room. Mrs. Giles, suddenly aroused from a sound Bleep, started up in a bewildered way, saying : 'What ! is it, Phillip? What's the matter?' Mrf. Gile3 sprang from the bed and assumed an air of dignity. 'Matter, enough!' growled he, picking himself up and rescuing the candle from its proximity to the bed clothes; 'who has been filling up the house with all that trumpery and who do you think is going to pay for it ? If you think I am, you're very much mistaken.' 'Philip Giles,' said, she, 'I have always faithfully endeavored to do my duty as a wife arid mother.

Now I have resolved upon a change. What modern improvements there are to' facilitate woman's work in terrupt me,' she continued, as Mr. Giles made an effort to. speak.

' ; -I.;-. Gen. Vca Icoltke on American 'G , crals. A newspaper correspondent has stated recently that General .Yon Moltke thinks there was no -great soldier developed during the war between the 'American States, on either side. Since the death of General Lee, Von Moltke is probably tho highest military authority who can be quo ted. Lut if he gave utterance to these comment3 as they are imputed to him, we must deny his accuracy about facts, if we admit his conclu sions. History will not justify the statoment that no great general was developed during our late war on either side. When the word knows the facts of our struggle against the North ern States it will say that our mfe nority in numbers and resources was compensated by the energy of our people and tho skill in war of it . i v-1 -x r our generals. iNeitner jca. von Moltke nor " any other European since Napoleon has ever fought such a battle as the battle of Chans cersville; and it is simply ignorance and prejdudice which can deny to Lee his claim to occupy the fore most rank ot generals. Since Mar- lesboro Europe has not produced Lee's equal ; always excepting the great master ot the art of war, Na poleon. Uur war was too tar removed from the scrutiny of General Von Moltke. Most of the accounts of it reached him only through the Northern channels ; and, therefore, he did not know as much about it as some ot us who have not hi3 ca pacities for military criticism. General Von Moltko mav not know that in the two battles of Ma nassas and the two battles of Cold Harbor, the most remarkable illuss tration was given of Southern sol o diers and Southern generals. About two years of battles inter vened between these pair3 of South ern victories. In the " First Ma nassas" our army under Joe John fcons numbered 37,000 men. The Federal army under McDowell, numbered 58,000 men. In the ' Second Mannassaa' Lee's army numbered a little over 40,000 men. The Federal army, under ' Pope numbered over 100,000 men ; and Popes army faced as Johnson's had faced hi the first battle. la the first Cold Harbor Lee s urmy numoerect aDOun i v.vwj men 1 1 1 rA AAA (It was the largest Contcdrate ars mv ever assembled.) McClcllan's army numbered over iUU,UUJ men. in the second Cold Harbor Lee s army numbered about 45,000 men, and Grant 3 army numbered about 120,000 men, and in the second Cold Harbor as in the second Man nassas the posuionn or the armies were reversed, and Grant's armi jaced as Jce x had none two ears before. ' In these four decisive battles the Confedeate armies defeated tho Federal armies. Can tho history of the Prussian war furnish the equal of these four Uonlederate victories : and were not Johnson and Lee generals ? In tho beginnig of our war John son was confronting Patterson's ar my which was four-fold its strength Beauregard at Manassas was stead ily holding his position in front o McDowell, who had ten-fold orce. When Johnson perceived that Patterson was moving around to join McDowell he rapidly joined his orces to Beauregard s and inflicted tue rout of the first Manassa3 on McDowell, was not Johnson a gen eral Ihen. When Stonewall Jackson, in the spaco of five day3, defeated three armies of Banks, Fremont and Shields each army outnumbering his own, and six miles tho while, sometimes in advance, sometimes in retreat was he not a general r We must search tho Italian cam paign of 179G for generalship liko that was. When V an Dorn, then commans . er of the Army of Missippi, had been pursued back to Grenada by Grant's army, which greatly out numbered his, turned the commend "oyer to thu uca.tr gousral in rank, took all the' cavalry (about 2,000 horseman) and led them in person to xxoiiy springs, mites m rear ol Grants army and burst with the day-light upon the garriso i, cap turing the whole forces of the place and destroying all the supplies of the invading armv and defeating Grant's ; campaign, was not Van Dorn a general ? When Dick Taylor with 11.000 me defeated the army of Banks at Mansheld, marched next day 20 miles to Tleasant Hill, where Banks reinforced by an army corps, had taken position, attacked Banks at 4 P. M., and routed his army be fore dark, was not Gen. Taylor a general then ? When Beauregard captured Fort Sumpter in 24 hours, held it against the Federal armies and fleets du ring a bombardment cf four years, until every brick and stone in it had been broken up by the enemy's missils, and under this incesssnt fire reconstructed the fortress and mako it absolutely, impregnable, did he not give an illustration of tho engineer's power unequalled by Totlclcn ? The Southern people evinced ex traordinary capacity for war, Vfe had many able generals and the best troop3 of modern times. Gen, Von Moltke never saw such an ar my as Northern Virginia, and no iusantry in Europe, since Chalcs, XII, could have withstood the Con federate infantry. There were able generals on the other side, too, and good troops but I leave then vindication to those who know moro about them than I, and who aro ablet- to sot forth their claims to generalship, it ich iiion d En ou ircr.
