The i Houston Telegraph says, that more than half tho spelling books sold in Houston aroused by tho negroes. Schools for them are established there and in Gal veston. Tire Galveston News tells of a planter who has fought a large quantity of books -for j his former slaves, t has established a* Sunday school and a night school for tfrcip, and intends, to have them instructed also 6ri Wednesday, and Saturduy afternoons. Tho News says': "This is the right spirit. Wo aroglaj to see it prevailing in.one manifestation l or another to a very large extent. Noth ing should bo done to ulionato our for mer slaves, but everything to conciliate and elevate them. They are worthy of philanthropic ef forts?their situation.in our midst forms a test of our own character.! Oppression or neglect of theui "will demoralize us und our. children tho right treatment of them will be twice blessed. Exhorta tion on this subject is unnecessary, however, as the southern whites are certainly too wise and huniano to per mit such a Held of duty and privilege to remain uncultivated/' If the planters i generally aro wise enough to justify the confidence placed in theti* by thb Neiris and to imitate tlio planter, whoso noblo action it records, there will be n,o great practical trouble in adjusting the, relation of tho races in the south. I The Whig party, tlxUt gran^l old party that the Democrats abused, as long as it lasted, andhavo praised evor since, is Btillrecoguized in North Carolina, where it is nearly identical with the Union party as the Democratic is with the seces sion party. Iu the Convention, now sit ting dri that State, the party lines are drawn between "6ld Whigs" and "old Democrats." On ail sides, it is understood that tho Democrats favored- secession and the Whigs opposed it. Tlie'Whlgs had always great strength in North Carolina, and secession jmwlo slow pro gress in the State. After tlie great crime hud been perpetrated, tho rebel cause met with continual opposition in the "old north State," and tho soldiers that sho sent to the war were distrusted, aud were punished with heavier, duty and with deprivation of customary privile ges, because they came from a State that went into the secession reluctantly, and wns suspected of xi disposition to get out of it. Now, when the powpr of tho rebellion is broken, and men can speak their minds, in North' Carolina, tho sentiments oftljo old Whig party aro again heard tl^ero; and the men who aro heartily for tho Union aro called Whigs. t It seems to us that the lower house of ,tho Episcopal General Convention at Philadelphia must bo in a rather un grateful frame of mind, if they canirot find it in thpir hearts to tha^k God, for tho re-establishment of the national iauthority, and for tho removal 4tf the great,occasion of our national dissen-. sions and estrangement. At lenst it would seem that a resolution of this' character need not so deeply move so reverend and.learned a body, as to lead to scenes of disorder and tumult. It would be difficult to express this just and natural, this national and christiaii sentiment in less questionable lan guage; and it would seem that a man who cannot cordinlly aixdTsinceroly thank God for that, can hardly, havo graco to thank him; for anything. The resolu tion was not. introduced, as the tele graph rej>orted, by the venei abloHorace Binney, but by. his son: The Democratic gain in five States is about one hundred thousand votes, this year. This will do to beglii' witja. Another hundred thousand gain next, year will electa conservative Congress and place tho country "all rignti"? Exchange. M .That is to say, put back into Congress tho men who voted againstrthe tax bills, and the army bills, and generally the measure** for the support of the war; tho men who opposed the emancipation' proclamation and the abolition of sla very in tho District 6% Columbia; to bring buck immediately. Vullandiglmm and Pehdleton, and in dtio jtime, Mason and iSlidell and Toombs, and perhaps Jeff. Davis himself. This Is the conser vatism of the Democratic party, a party, that has never failed to pull down, except when slavery was the subject, and then has always built up. >Wo do'not see the baleful signs which preshgo the return of these principles aud theso men to power. y; Gen. Lee has taken the oath to sup port the constitution of tho United .States. Ho had taken it several timcsi'befQre. ,Tfae new oath adds 'however an obliga tion to support also V"the union of the States thereunder," and all the; laws and prpckinidtions relative, toemancipa tion. We know from the experience of thousands that the oath support the Constitution may rbepgn&Ujied oonsist cmtly (With taking up,arms against it. do not see by whbt'Ingenuity this oath can be so construed, and we think it must be conceded by every one that whooyer takes it and engages In another rebellion perjures himself. Tho matter has iiQt, .however, passed under review df the southern doctors of laws. In tiie old cUine, our Wlii'g victories generally came bolt foremost, and dwindled down, sometimes to nothing, as the latier and fuller returns come in.. It is a pleasant feature in the'returns of tbe election just, hold that the mote we qee oir them 1 the' better- we {like them Pennsylvania, which tho Democrats al inoet claimed, pp the returns, give us a greater majority than she rolled up for Lincoln ;and phio and Ipwagrbw on?er and storage^, f?s Hie corrected VerySInibtiy Womhip. Froin the F+esbyterian Staridartl. A country town.; There is one Roman Catholic church. There are five starve liug Prostestant churches, all briskly competing with each other for such of the church-going population of the place ns do not ruu after the attractions of Popery. Some of .the houses of wor ship are neat and architecturally beau tiful. Others are remarkably inelegant. Two or three lank steeples pierce the atmosphere, distinguishing the edifices which they deface, from market houses or barns. The people who gather under the roofs of these several structures, exer cise the right accorded to them by -the constitution of tho United States, to worship Gdd according to the dictates of their consciences. i The most glaring feature of their wor ship is what they call sacred music.? To listen to it, one would think that some of them have no consciences at all. To begin with the Presbyterian church. The pastor gives out what he calls "tho twenty-fourth ASa-a-m," which he reads in a sfng-sdng manner from" the begin ning .to the end, as if ho feared his'cou gregation could not read" it iri~'their book. Having read it, he says that we will sing four verses of it, and then sits down. JSow the other end of the church begips its work. A wheezing is heard, as when the tiro is blown by means qf an aged pair of bellows. The instru ment is getting up its wind. Some ex teroporizedfdiscord follows the wheez ing. A fe\v flourishes of "voluntary" are boing played, preparatory to pluy ing the tune as a sample of what is to be sung. One-half of the notes are in correctly played. These interfere with the musical effect of the other half.? Presently the tune is blundered through and the singing begins/ Singing! The angelsin heaven don't sing in tliatstyle, certainly. Sinking? No, it is howling. Tho choir consists of a large maii with a voice liko a calf, two women with cracked voices, and ono with a defective, idea of time. The instrumental help is a machine Which the church bought for fifteen dollars less than they would have to. pay for a good "Mason and Hamlin.'' The man who had it to sell, told them it would make a louder noise. So it does. Noise is not worship. We leave tho place.! Then to the Methodists. Surely they will praiso God in better style. They are not annoyed by the presenoo of such a wind instrument. That is a relief.? The preacher gives out "the ten hundred and sixtieth hymn, on the elpven hun dred and seventieth page, long metre," after which he, liko his Presbyterian neighbor, roads the hymn through.? Tho reading being done, he ugaiu nn an ounces the uuniber, puge, und metre, and line# out the first half of the first verso. Now for the singing. Tho de ficiency of instrumental accompani ment is more than compensated for by the magnitude of the' leader's voico.? Although tho church can hold but three hundred people, his liiugs and throat are of a sufficient capacity to till a cathe dral, and ho gives them full play. J Jo cannot confeentto -hide his light under a bushel. With all his might he bawls forth tho two lines, then conies ton halt. Tho fine, clear voico of the minister is then heard, in pleasant contrast to this great bull of Uashan, reading the next two lines. It is as if ho would say: "My friends, I see yon have your l>ooks l>croro you, but I know'you can't read the hymn, so I will read, it for you."?' "Lining out" would be a miserable in terruption, if tho singing were good ns it is, it is a desirable thing to stop the eruption of that volcanic voice, on any 1 terms possible. Now for something more elegant and Cultured. At tho Lutheran church they have an organ. It is an imposing little affair, With pretty case, and gilt pipes.' A boy blows tho bellows holiiml, and a young lady presides at the key-1>oard in front. If somebody would put a small quantity of some lubricating substance on that part of tho tallows apparatus which squeaks, it would remove a great annoyance. .And ;if, the fair organist would bring her fingers in contact with tho keys with .that gentle pressure which should characterize organ play ing, rather than in. the strumming, pounding fashion in Which she learned to play jigs on her mother's piano, the result might be a stvlo 6f music which would be more befitting tho house of Ood thau that which .now grates on the ear. The time is good. But the choir mouth andrnuinblf) their words so that .nobody can understand what they arc singing.' Away to the Baptist church. Two streets off,: their singing is audible. They all sing. That Is an advantage and en excellence. It is better than In those churches where, it is understood that the'choir have the monopoly of it, and that it Is ungenteel to interfere. They sing pretty well, too. The minis ter linppens to be the lender. Take cure, though, good brother, or you may have an attack of bronchitis, some day, if you keep at that steady kipd of work too long. Praying, preaching and singing, all on'a stretch, are too much for one man.- Get a good man to take your place, as soon as yon can find the right man. But meantime,, keep at it, and make your people sing. They are praising God at the Episco pal church. A neat miniature cathe dral. Tho walls of solid and pointed (plaster in imitation of) brown stone: a comely belfry on top. The rector stands with his tasteful robe of white, and the people with their prayer-books in their hands. A Well tuned otgan, small but of sweet.tone, is^ playetT by a delicate young 'lady. The choir consists of throe young girls and a small boy. There is no depth in. tho music; no rich ness; no fullness. The congregation is afraid to join indt, lest they should crush it. out of hearing. Tho minister looks quietly on, 'as if to say that he would not on. any account disturb it. It gently pursues its unruflled course till it comes-to.-the end of the chant, when it gracefully sulfides, and gives place to tho next part of the service. Where are tho men?..Where are the bigiboys? .Where somebody to take hold of-it and help it along in. good, earnest,., wholesome burst of sacred song? Was the temple worship of the Jews of olden .time anything like any of of these? Is the spirit of the psalms such as to; lead us to offend all musical propriety and till decency when we worship God? Why need we offer to the Lord of heaven and earth, snch lame, halting, imperfect stuff as would not be listened to in a decent concert room Aye, such as would be kicked out of the common beer-garden. If the preaching was as bad as the music, there would bo talk of turning the min ister away? It is almost as easy to ;exOcute music well as tcv>do It biidly. .There -Is no good reason why bad music should be tolerated in any Christian church. Lot us give God the best. Let us' train opr people to the total abolition of all such unholytnuisances as have been alluded JLo. While wo say. with the psalmist, r "Let everything that hath breath praise tho lord," let us also say with tho apos tle. 4*I will sing with the .spirit, and I will sing with the.understanding also." 1 W.

It-Booms to us, therefore, thnt a great deal of unnecessary pity lias been thrown away upon old ago. Wo begin at school reading Cicero's treatise, hear ing talk with Scipio' Lrclus; we hear niuchabout poor old men; wo are (aught to admire the vigor, quickness and ca pacity of youth and ;mauhood. Wo lose sight of tho wisdom which ago brlngseven to the most foolish. Wo think that a circumscribed sphere must necessarily bo an unhappy one. It is not always so. What one abandons in growing old is after all perhaps not worth having. Tho chief part of youth is but excitement; often both unwise and unhealthy. The same pen which lias written, with ajnorbld feeling, that 'there is a ploss. of beings who do grow old in their yoyjh and dio ere middle age,' tolls us also that 'the best of lifo is but intoxication'.' :That passes away. The man who has grown old does not caro about it. The author at that period has no feverish oxcitcment about seeing himself in print; ho docs not hunt newspapers for reviews and notices. Ho is content to wait; ho knows what fame is worth. Tho obscure mau of science who has been wishing to make the vrorld better and wiser; tho struggling curate, tho poor and hard tried man erf God; the enthusiastic reformer, who has watched the sadly slow dawning of progress and liberty; tho artist, whoso dream of beauty slowly fades before his dim eyes?all lay down thoir fever ish wishes as they advance in life, for get the bright ideal which they cannot reach, and embrace the more perfect real. Wo speak not hero of the assured Christian. He, from the noblest pinna cle of faith,beholds a promised land,and is eager t9.reaeh.it: he prays 4to be de livered froni tho body of this death;' but we write of those humbler, perhaps more human souls, with whom increas ing age each day treads down with illu sion. All feverish wishes, raw and in conclusive desires, huve died down,and a culm beauty and peace survive; pasr 8I0113 are dead, temptations weakened 'or conquered; experience has been won: selfish interests are widened into uni versal ones; vain, idle hopes have merged iiito a firmer faith or a com plete'knowledge; aud more light lias orokftn in upon the soul's dark cottage, battered aua decayed, 'through chinks which Time has mado.' Again, old men aro valuablo, not on ly 113 ..relics of tho past, but as guides and prophets for tho future. They know the pattern of every turn of life's .kaleidoscope. Tho colors merely fall into now .shapes; the groundwork is just the same. The good which a calui, kind, cheerful old man can do is incal culable. And whilst ho does good to others, ho enJoj'S himself. He looks not unnaturally to.that which should ac company old ugt*?honor, love, obedi ence, troops of friends; and ho plays his part in tho comedy or tragedy of lifo witli as much gusto as any ono else.? Old Montague or G'apulet, and old Po loniotis, that wiso maxim-man, enjoy themselves quite as well as tho moody Hamlet, tho peturbed Laertes or even gallant Mereutio or love-sick Romeo.? Priar Lawrence, who is a good old man, is perhaps tlio happiest of all the dra matic jH?rsome,?unless wo take tho gossiping, garrulous old nurse, with ;her snnny recollections of maturity and youth. The great thing is to have the mind well employed, to work whilst it is yet day. The precise Duke of Wel lington, answering every letter with 'P. M. prescuts his compliments'; the won drous worker Humboldt, with his or ders of knighthood, stars and ribbons, lying dusty in his drawer, still con templating Cosmos, and answering his thirty letters a day,?were both men in exceedingly enviable, happy positions; they liad readied tho top of tho hill, and Leonid look back quietly over tho rough road which thoy had travoled., Wo are not all Iluni boldts nor Wellingtons; but wo can all be busy and good. Kxporiencc must teaOli us all a great deal; and if it only teaches us not to fear tho future, not to cast a maundering regret over the past, wo can be as happy in old ago?ay, and far more so?then wo were in youth. W.c are no longer the fools of time und error. Wo are leaving by slow degrees the old world; wo suind upon tho threshold of tho now; not without hope, but without fear, in an exceedingly natural position, with noth ing strange Or dreadful about it; with our domain drawn within a narrow circle, but equal to our power. Muscu lar strength, organic instincts are all gone; but what then We do not want them We are getting ready for the great chaugc, ono which is as necessary as it was to bo born; and to a littlo child perhaps one is not a whit more pain ful?perhaps not so painful as the oth er, The .wheels of Timo have brought us to tho goal; wo aro about to rest while others labor, to stay at home while others wander.
