THE SHIP OK STATE is in rather a bad plight, with Sambo at the helm and a
drunken Captain who takes his soiindiiii's at the stern. The old ship would have been
dashed to pieces long ago if she hadn't been made out of mighty good timber, and built
■trong to buffet the storms through which Radicalism has driven her. That white man
will seize the helm bj and by, kick the drunken Captain and darkey over-board, turn her
head into deep water and she'll weather it all right yet. It's a white man's ship, and we
want intelligence to command her and white men at the helm.

Agony enough for one woman to
bear! A sad story is related by
the Evansville (Ind ) Journal, the
truth of whieh is vouched tor. A
man named Kyle, with a wife aud
two children, recently settled in the
new country. A few days ago the
wile, baring gone a short distance
from the honsc to do the family
washing, took one child, an infant,
with her, and left the other, two
years old, at the house. Having
occasion to be absent from her baby
for a few momeuts, when she re-turned
found that a rattlesnake had
fastened its fangs upon the child's
wrist. She quickly dispatched the
snake end freed the child, which
almost Immediately died. Clasp-ij,^
her infant in hei arms she
hastened to the house, where she
found her other drowned in a tub
of water. Her screams of agony
upon beholding this second bereave-ment
Startled her husband, who,
losing his presence of mind, fell
from the roof, where he was at
work, and was instantly killed.
The following is given as the
new mode of parsing, down East,

indicative mood, present tense,
and agrees with all the girls in the
neighborhood.
The New York Times on the
Situation.
The attitude ot the Radicals in
Congress on the Civil Rights bill
has called nut nn expression of opin-ion
from soino of their leading or-gans,
among which we present the
following extract from the New York
Timrs, a most strenuous supporter
' of (irant's Administration!
i The extreme length to which State
1 rights theories were pushed in 1860
and 18411 brought about a reaction,
and that reaction has led many peo-ple
to think that States rights be
long to the dead and gone class of
questions, and that any man who
I talks about State rights is sufficient
lv answered when.- he is called t
! "Bourbon." It is unnecessary to
say to any intelligent reader that
this view is a miserably shallow
i one. and that in reality the right of
Statts to gocern tliemselres is as dear
' to the people as it ever leas. And it
i ought to be dear to them, for when
they abandon it they will have ut-
, lerly forsaken the system of govern-ment
established under the Federal
Constitution. They may set up
|something else in its place, which
| may be called by any name that
1 may please the persons then living ;
! but it will not be the goverumeut
designed by the founders of the
| Constitution. It may be a civil pol
icy based ii|H)U parliamentary rule,
! or it may be a monarchy or desjiot-ism
; but it will no louger be a con-stitutional
republic such as we have
sees here for nearly a hundred
[years. * * The people will not
, consent to see either a Poland or
Ian Ireland created on this soil. • •
I Look at South Carolina. The facts
iu reference to that State seem to
1 be about as well established as any
historical facts can be, and they a-
! mount to this—the negroes, assisted
by rascally whiles, have held a sort
j of grand <irgie in the State for sev-
! eral years past, have swallowed np
j among them pretty nearly all the
■ private property in the State, have
■ rained what may be called the na-tive
citisens even more thoroughly
1 than the war had done, have robbed
and harried like so many highway-men,
and have reduced the State to

We venture to say that is not—
that, on the contrary, it is a govern-ment
of which the Republic has
every reason to be ashamed. •

that the Republican party, as an

at this great failure. The

in what way he has exercised the

Giles Stevens' Despair.
In a wretched room at the lop ol
a house in one of the back-streets
of a seaport town of England, three
little children were crouching over
a bit of fire, whilst their mother
paced the room, trying in vaiu to
nnsh the crying baby which she
held in her arms. " Mother, when
shall we get our supper T" said the
oldest of the little group.
" I haven't got any, Jeamie," said
the woman; " and 1 haven't got
any money to buy it. Maybe your
father'll be home soon "
Jemima sighed. " Father's com
ing home" was not usually the
signal for snpper, for he was always
cross and snappish, and sometimes
not as steady as be might be, and
when his wife asked him for mone.y.
his usnal answer was an oath; and
when, after a while, a heavy, him
beriug footstep was heard on the
stairs, the children got iuto the
furthest, darkest corner, whilst their
poor weary mother renewed her at
tempts to keep tho hungry, scream-ing
baby quiet-
" Squalling us usual!" said Giles
Steveiis,Jooming iu and sitting down
ou the only chair in the room that
was not broken. " No fire, no sup
per, no uothiug!"
Poor, weary mother, she was
tireil and ill, jailed and soured with
the troubles of her life, and the
taunt was moic than she could bear
in silence. " Shame on yourself,
then, Giles, spending your money
in driuk aud bad company, and
letting your wife and children go
huugry ! Is it my lanlt, there's no
fire and no supper f"
"Come, stop that, will you!"
said the man, angrily. " It's not
my fault work's scarce and money's
scarce."
" Isn't it your fault I hat you lost
your place ! didn't you lose il for
drinking and bad ways V retorted
the wife.
But Giles sprang to his feet.—
" I've had enough of this," he ex
claimed; "you wou't catch mo
home again in a hurry ;" aud he
went down stairs, slamming the
house-door behind him.
Mrs. Stevens bent her head down
over the baby and sobbed aloud,
and the children joined in with a
chorus of crying, although they
didn't qnite know why. Poor moth-er,
she had never meant to " anger
Giles," as she said to herself; she
loved him still, is spile of ninny a
hard word, or even blow, which hail
come to her during the seven years
they had lieen married. Now she
would have given anything to fol-low
him, and tell him she was sorry
and beg him to come home; but
she dared not, and then there were
the children to see to besides; so
she kept up her weary walk with
the heavy baby, but bur thoughts
were softer ones, aud she wished
she could take back her sharp
words.
Meantime, Giles Stevens walked
on through the streets too angry to
care where bo was going.
" There isn't a man in all the world
as'd stand it,"he muttered. "What's
come over Polly. I can't think she
usedn't to be so sbarp-tongueil when
first we were married. What if I
do take a drop too much now and
then, there's many does wofr."-
Yet, though he tried to excuse him-self,
most uncomfortable thoughts
would come into his mind; he could
not lorget that time he had spoken
of when they were first married,
and had a neat little home, aud
were as happy as the suushiue.—
No, certainly Polly had chauged,
she hadn't a sharp tongue then;
but what had changed her " Had-n't
bis conduct made all the differ-ence!
And tho misery he had
dragged her into -perhaps lor the
first time Giles saw how much he
had been in the wroug.
While, thinking ol these things In-had
waudered ou to the harbor, and
as be looked round, a sudden
thought, an evil thought, flashed
across his mind. " Why shouldn't
he throw himself in 1 There was
water enongh, and no oue by, aud
be was no use; he might as well be
dead aud have done with all the
bother. Polly would do as well
without him." Giles sank down on
his knees in the mud, and covered
his lace with his hands. It was a
desperate struggle between fear and
hardened braving of death, between
right and wrong—the good ami
bad angels were both near to him
then as he knelt, irresolute, but
tbe hesitation bad been long enough
for him to be observed, and when a
gentleman touched him on the arm,
he started and trembled like a ter
rifled child.
" My man 1" cried the stranger,
" you were never thinking of any
thing so dreadful as that, surely I"
and he pointed to the water.
Giles groaned. " Perhaps, if you
and your wife was starving, and
there was no work to be had, you'd
have thought of it too."
"Bat ifs a sin—a erimo," per
-isted the gentleman. "Besides,
it's a cowardly thing to get away
from trouble, instead of fighting it
lown. Here, walk along with me,
and let's hear all about you;" and
Giles rose up and did what he was
told, [souring out all his troubles
to his new acquaintance.
The chnrch of St Stephen's had
struck the hour twice, the baby was
asleep at last, the three elder chil-dren
were in bed: but hunger and
cold kept them wakeful, and poor
Polly Stevens sat alone over the
empty grate, thinking of her hus-band.
She was wishing ever so
many things; first, that she hadn't
spoken so sharply ; then that he'd
come home, cross or anyhow she
cared so long as he did come; and
tnen her thoughts went hack to thi
past, when they were happy and
comfortable, and she began io see
that, perhaps, in tho beginning she
bad been a little to blame, and
hadn't been a good manager, and
hadn't always bad a tidv place aud
a hright face to greet Giles when
he came from work. Then she
trtvaled ou in fancy to the future,
and she was just picturing how nice
if would be io have a tidy home
aud clean children, and sufficient
food, and Giles as kind as he used
to be, when a footstep sounded on
tbe stairs. Next minute who should
burst in but Giles himself, excited
and talking, but not from drink,
pulling out sundry parcels from bis
coat pockets and a huge loaf from
under his arm, and half a iiound of
butter, which for want of any other
place he had carried in his hat
The children called out tor supper,
and for once nobody scolded; and
as they sat up aud munched thick
slices of bread and butter, their
father and mother sat talking of a
new friend who had bought the
food, aud had engaged to give Giles
work the next day, so that indeed
brighter days seemed coming. It
was a fresh beginning of life in the
Stevens' fsmily, and all Polly's
bright dreams came true, for before
long they were iu a tidy home with
their children neatly clothed and
property fed, aud in-ople would tell
you that now there isnt a happier
house hold iu the town Giles and
Polly have left off snapping and
scolding now, he is a good husbsnd
and father, and works steadily and
well; but there is oue secret which
rests between him and God, and
tho friend who saved him that
night, when in his misery and des-pair
he knelt down by iho harbor
and wished for his life's end.
Household Eceonomy.—It is aston-ishing
to see how well a mau may
live ou a small income who has
a handy and industrious wife.
Some men live and make a far bet-ter
appearance, on six or eight dol-lars
a week thun others do nn
fifteen or eighteen dollais. The
man does his part well, but his
wife is good-for-nothing. She will
even upbraid her husband for not
living in as good style as his neigh-
Itor, while the lanlt is entirely her
own. His neighbor has a neat,
capable aud industrious wife, and
that makes the difference. His
wife, on the other hand, is a whirl.

The more they looked at each other

recover himself, saying, "Well,
Prescott, you may go, this will
