"No night there," but all is sunshine, Father, mother, sisters, brother: Bathed are you in airs Etherial, Praising God with harp and tongue, Chiming in the blissful anthems Tbat for ever there are sung, That surely we should not repine, But oh ! our grief how hard to smother. To that home of dazzling brightness, Father, mother, sisters, brother; Where the souls redeemed assemble — Where the sainted ones do gather; 'Twas the Savior who hath called you — " Come! ye blessed of my Father"— Oh ! this should give us hearts of lightness, But oh ! our grief how bard to smother. Light lie the clods on each dear breast, Father, mother, sisters, brother; 'Round the place where you are slumb'ring, May the early morning bird Come and carol, and the gTasses Be by gentle breezes stirred : There no trouble mars your rest— But oh ! our grief bow hard to smother. Aud we will plant the cypress there, Father, mother, sisters, brother: And the myrtle green confiding, Twine above each lowly bead, And the jessamine and sweet briar, There shall sweetest incense shed— Ah ! yes, sweet sleepers, free from care, But oh t our grief how hard to smother. And to you we'll strive to come, Father, mother, sisters, brother: Earthly hours fast are flitting, Days are swiftly gliding by, , In a few brief years, at '.furthest, We, the living, too must die — Join you in that happy home Where no grief we've need to smother. • W.

POST OFFIS, CONFEDRIT X ROADS, (Wich is in the Stait uv Kentucky,) Sept. 20, 1867. —Last week I was invited to go into Ohio to assist my brethren uv that State. The Massedonian cry reached tne, "Come and help us!" and ez the cry was coupled with the asshooraoce that I shood be provided for, I heeded it. Couple Mas gedonian cries with whisky, and I can't te sist em. I never try. I knowed there wasn't much difference atween the Dimoc racy of Ohio and Kentucky, but wuz on" prepared for the strikin resemblance I found. Twins is not more similar. My Ist appointment wuz in a purely Dimekratic County. It wuz a settlement after my own heart, and the minit my practist eye restid onto it, my soul leaped for joy. It wuz a town wich hed bin some day the se •*. uv biznis, but a ralerode ninnin some nine miles to one side uv it had cut off its trade, and the inhabitance havin nothin to do, the better part uv em went with the trade. Nacher abhors a vacuum, and there rushed in sich as found it difficult to live elsewhere. The whole population hevin much leisure fell to pitchin coppers, wich, to make the game exitin, they pitched for drinks. Pitching for drinks soon rendered era inca pable uv more violeot exercise, and in a year from the time the trade left em it wuz the strongest and most intense Democratic town in the State. Ez they must eat som thin, aod ez the gioceries coodent run per petooally without money, they hed occasion al spasms of labor. Then would their feel ins be laseratid. Then wood they look over to the Kentucky shore, and see thousands uv jest sich men ez themselves a spendin their lives in one unendin round uv eopper pitchin, hoss-raein and poker-playin, the nigger mean while a sweatin to furnish the means, and they wood break out into rnur murin at the crooel fate wich cast their lot where every man wuz forst to sweat for hisself, ani the cuss of labor coodn't he filled by proxy. Their proximity to Ken tucky tantalized em. They wood hev ail goße there cood they hev raised enuff to buy a nigger apeece, but they coodent. There wuz a most delightful look uv serene repose about the place wich charmed me. Nothin stood uprite. The signi>ost uv the tavern hed bin leaned agin so much that it had contracted the same habit; the bosses, from a too rigid economy in the matter o' oats, wuz leanin agin the side of the hams; the shutters on the groceries hung cornerin across the winders in konsequence uv the lower hinges bein broke; the clap-boards on the houses all haogin by a single nail at one end, presented any but a regular appear ance, and ;he men were all either sittin o J store boxes, or leanin agin watever posses sed suffishent strength to keep em up. I wuz enthoosiastically reseeved. The town wuz excited on two questions. 1, Taxation; 2, Nigger Equality. The cheer man uv the deputation wuzthe most cheer io style uv Diniokrat I hed seen for years. His independent hair hed pu-hetl its way thro the top uv his hat arid 1 ri?tled in ali | directions, biddiu defiance to the world ■ hi? toes protoodin from his shoes and his i trowers hangin lop-sided by one suspcodcr A I.OOAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALS. indicated a sovereign contempt for appear ances. He begged me, with tears streemin down bis eyes, to rouse the people agio the dangers wich threaten em. "Think," sed he, "uc the hundreds uv thousand uv mil lions, which we, the people, are forced to pay in taxes to the General Government, and rouse em to the tieoeesity uv ackshenl" "I will," sed I. "I will. State to mo the amount uv taxes paid the tyraniklc gov ernment in this Arcajen spot, that t may hev the data from which to speek.'' j "Taxes!" returned this patriot, with an amazed look onto his countenance, "taxes! We don't pay any taxes here. The Asses sor eatne here two years ago, and findin noihin to assess, hezn't considered it worth while to come since. But our hearts bleed for these uufortinit victims uv Ablishcn policy, which bev suthin, and is forced to pay onto it! The people is being ground into dust by uiasbeo." And the old man j wept bitter tears at the miseries uv the sitooashen uv the people. What teechin benevolence! On the question of nigger ekality, I found em at a most deliteful heat. They bed seen the terrors uv it, and know'd whereof they spoke. Niggers hed come from Kentucky across the river to em, and instid uv acceptin their normal speer, and yieldin quietly to the irresistable decrees uv Heaven, wich made em inferiors of the white, they hed, the moment the accumulated suthin to live on, assoomed the airs uv ekality. They refoosed to keep their places. The C'heer man reraarkt, ez showin the stubborn cus sidness uv the race, that one uv cm lived some months next to him. He (the Cheer uian) horrored pork on several occasions uv him, twict a bakin uv flour, and on one oc casion, nine dollars uv the miserable rags wich we are forst, by a tyrauikle Govern ment, to accept cz money. That nigger hed the soopreme impudence to iusisi on bein pade! and even talked uv sooin for it. But on consultin a lawyer, he didn't owin to the uncertanty cx to who wood have to pay the costs. Another instance. A nig ger wich was nerely white, settled in the vicinity. He hed not only a daughter, hut a farm. My son sores. Labor he despises as a occupashen only fit for serfs. He pro posed to woo this nigger's daughter. It was a struggle with me. My son maryin a female wich hed the accursed blood of Ham in her vanes! But Jimuel, my son, sir, threw dirt in my eyes. About sixty akers of dirt. I thot uv the pleasant time I cood hev a livin on that farm —uv the days devoid uv labor and the evenins filled with ease, and after a severe ethonologikle struggle with my feeiings, I consented. I wanted to take keer uv that nigger. Pityin him as an iuferior bein—loaded in his ab normal condition with responsibilities wich he could not be expected to discharge, I would have taken charge of bis affairs. I wood—my son Jimuel and I —hev man aged his farm and his stock and sich. Alas! Jimuel mentioned the matter to the Etheo pian, sir, and with what result? He wuz ig nominiously kiekt out uv his house, sir. He wuz—sir, for a drunken broot, by a nig ger wich threatened ef he ever showed his pimpled—pimpled wuz the word—face about there agin, he'd break every bone in his body. Sir, this is bccomin unsupporta ble. They must be degraded down to our level. My proud Caucashen blood revolts. There must be a inferior race and its us or the uigger. The Injen is out uv the ques tion ez there ain't any uv them here to be inferior. I wouldn t mind the Injen, but there ain't none. Its nigger or nothin. Give him the ballot sir. end what'li distin guish us? Speek with a angel's tongue onto this theme, 1 beg. The mectin wuz a glorious one, and my speech one uv my most movin efforts. My perorashen moved mc to tears. 11 wuz on nigger sufferage. Depietin its untold hor rors I begged em to organize—to ralley wunst more agin this common enemy. "Thereis," sed I, "seven thousand nigger males in the State uv Ohio. Shel we peril the liberties uv the State by permitin them to approich the ark uv our safety—the bal lot box? Shel we rai?e em to the point uv bein our ekals? Shel we marry em and give em in marragc? Shel we contaminate the pure stream of Anglo Saxon blood, by muddlin it with the turbid stream us ." At that point I stopt. My eye balls wuz scared. Joe Bigler, which I sposed wuz a hundied miles away in Kentucky, wuz up iu the auience. "Agreein" sed he, "with wat the speak er is saying. I beg to ask a question for cn litement. lam a Kentuckian." "Ror for Kentucky!" Bowin, Bigler perccdcd. There wuz a lurkin devil iu his eye wich afflicted me. "Ef I understand the speaker, he holds that the uigger ef permitted to vote be comes so much our soshel ekal that we must take him to our buzzums —that wc must marry the females, and our gushen daugh ters forthwith tie themselves to the males uv that accussid nice. Is it so?" "It is!' retorted I. "My blood biles when I think uv it. Ef I recollect arite, the laws uv Ohio permits all niggers to vote who are only half black. Ez there are a good many mulattoes in this region, the produx uv the loose ekality uv the races over the river, there must have bin, ever sence that law passed, much uv that kiud uv marryin here. May Ibe per mitted to ask this oppressed people who hev suffered so from this unnatural state of affairs, how they like it? Is yoor wife a nigger, sir? ' sed he, ad iressin the Sekre tary, "and ef so, don't yoo feel the humili ! atin posishen vour in, compelled, ez yoo wuz, by the force uv Dimokratic circum i stances, to marry her, to take her to yoor | buzzum, the minit her father got a vote? It's enuff to drive a man into AblishinLm |to escape it. My brethren," sed this Big j ler, "I advise yoo all to adjoor Dituocrisy. BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1807. Up North,the minit, the nigger gits a vote yoo are foeed to legal messegenashen — down South,the affinity Dimociisy hez for niggers, hez bleached out the race to the color uv mopsses. There's no hope for yoo, save in Ai!ishenism ; wich hez the hap py fakulty uvloin justice to em without nmrrj inem!" And he stalkt out, It didn't maktno difference. Tbeydidn U know what he ww talkin about. The word ! "messegenashen' struck em with amaze ment, from wich hey didn't recover till we left. In speakin to sich aqjenoios, men must be keerful uxthe words they yoose. I finisht my sflcch. The meetin then resolved they wuz htter than niggers', that they never wood coacnt to be taxed for the sake uv purse prom aristocrats; that the bonds shood be takn up with greentax ; that there shood be a-eturn to specie pay ment to wunst; and tht were willin to give millions, ef need "bs, to resist usurpa shen, but not one cent in Yxes in a uncon stitooshel manner. This resolooshn wuz pasted, when a col lection was taken up to payfor the candles. But alas! There wasn't nary a cent in the house, and I hed to pay fir em myself. Another little insident diddt please me. The State Central Committee hed furnißht me, ez it does all its speakers,with a twen ty dollar gold piece and a fifty or incessantly; hut I hope for a better time." Ah, yes, that better time is the fool's paradise of laziness! He is obli ged to work now; but he looks forward to th e time wheuhe will not be under the necessity ol working. He points to the favored tons, as he calls them, of rich men, who were not boru to work, and who are useless and worse than useless in society, and laments ; that, instead of having what seems to tiro to be their good fortune, he is doomed to a life of severe toil. But I tell you, what yen think to be their good fortune has been their ruin, and this necessity of laboring VOLUME 10; NO. 44. has been your salvation. It has been that which has made you what you have been, and what you are still. It has been a token of God's mercy to you. And instead of be moaning your condition, thank God for it. And let every man. if ho is wise, and knows what is for his benefit, when lie feelg the pressure of necessity goading him on, not attempt to escape from its requirements. Simplify them if you will by your imagina tian, clothe them as you may, make them soem agreeable if you can; but, after all, the exercise of brain and bone and sinew is your blessing. The economy in which you live* that obliges you to task these to make them ver satile and continuous in their action, to ap ply them everywhere— to hew with them, as though they were an sx; to pierce with them, as though they were a spear; to con test with them, as though they were a sword—this is God s gift to you. The man that has to work, and does work, is the blessed fellow; and he that is not obliged to work, and does not work, is the cursed fel low. And yet men accept this condition of freshness, of vigor, and health, and happi ness, and self-respect, as if it were a sign and token of bondage, as if it were a dis graceful harness. THE ENNOBLEMENT OF LABOR. Two hundred years ago nobody thought of conceding anything like dignity to physi cal labor, and the toilers of the world had but few acknowledged rights. In England, as late as 1813, the wages, the hours of la bor, and even the meal-times of journeymen mechanics were regulated by law, and em ployers who paid their workmen more than the legal stipend were liable to be fined. But the laboring millions have made a mighty stride since then. Here and in Great Britain skilled industry in every branch of useful art frequently takes issue with capital on the question of wages, and as ofteu as not wins the day. The working classes of the United States understand and apply the fable of the "Bundle of Sticks." The political system under which they live teaches them the value of union, and their protective organizations are formidable bod ies, to whose "moral suasion" "Associated Capital" finds it expedient to listen respect fully. When any one of these organizations "strikes" for a higher rate of remuneration. Capital either yields gracefully in the be ginning, or makes a compromise, or fights it out to the bitter end. In the latter case, the combined long purses almost always get the best of the combined short ones, and the malcontents eventually fall back into their old places at the old rates. There ought not, however, to be any quarrels be tween capital and labor. Their interests are identical, and in this country not only one, but indivixiUe. On the other side of the Atlantic capital begets capital, but here labor begets it too. Mechanics may become millionarcs and porters merchant prinees; and such are the advantages offered to labor in this market that the intelligent, prudent and energetic toiler is bound to rise, and as he rises to be honored. In Europe the diff erent classes of society simply repeat them selves. When a member of a subordinate class makes his way into the charmed circle of the aristocracy, it is regarded as an inno vation. Families with "coat armor" look with sublime contempt on beings who have conquered fortune in their shirt sleeves. In the lands infested with "privileged orders" the fabric of society is always pretty much the same. Each portion of the structure is renewed from generation to generation with one kind of material. With us it is other wise. Our social fabric is a piece of mosaic and the process of tesselation is continually going on. Side by side with a bit of porce lain we place a chunk of serviceable delf, and the other day we variegated the edifice, rather extenstvely, with ebony. Ancestors count for nothing with us. We judge of men by what they do, and rate them accor dingly. If any man is "noble" in this coun try, it is the self elevated worker. SIGNIFICANT IX-IIEBEL ITTEBANCES.— The famous rebel Genera! Barringer, of North Carolina, has written a lengthy let ter to the Charlotte (N. C.) Keicx, in which he accepts colored suffrage as a logical re sult of the war. While North as a prison er of war, he says he made it a special ob ject to study the tone and temper of the Northern people, particularly the character of Yankee society and the workings of Yankee institutions, and that he arrived at the following conclusions : I. That the masses of all classes in that section were disposed to treat the South kindlv, and even liberally, if ovr peopfe— especially the leaders—only came out fairly and squarely to the great results of the war. 11. But, that negro suffrage teas destined to come in some form, no sane man could doubt. ill. That the Republican party was the power with which the South had to deal. This great party embraced the live men of the North. _ IV. The very existence of the South re quired her to ae/ptiesci in, if she could not sanction, the policy of this victorious party, as the best representative of the conquering power. But for myself I came to the con clusion, after full reflection, that the highest interests of the South would be promoted by her people embracing, so far as the;/ could conscientiously do so, the progressive ideas of that party. THERE is said to be fun in numbers, but most people think it included principally in No. I. At all events the faith of the world is pinned rather closely on that brief, but rather positive figure. Men keep an eye on it when seeking fortune and fame; women after a husband and position; and people . unitersally when there is anything up worth I having. This is all natural enough. The I fun in life is in pocketing all you can get and at the same time keeping other people s I pockets as dry as possible. No discount on 1 these facts. THE New York Time* speaks as follows concerning the '* forthcoming !" trial of J EFT. DAVIS: "An exchange paper states that Jeff Davis is to be tried next month. Unless we are mistaken we have seen something of that sort before. His offence was commit ted, we believe, several years since, and con sisted in taking up arms against the United Slates, —in 'adhering to their enemies and giving them aid and comfort.' It is gener ally supposed that his counsel have managed to put off the trial from year to year, so that all those who could be witnesses against him inay die or become superannuated; but those who remember the lacU of the case, (and they are growing fewer in number every year.) say that this is not the ease, —that Davis has been anxious for a trial from the beginning, but the Government has never been'ready.' The rumor that be is to be tried now, or ever, meets no credit The witnesses arc dead or scattered, —the pa- I>ers are lost, and it is not at all certain that either the Judge or the jury would know Davis if they were to see him." \ ot'xo LADY. —"Going to make a flower bed here, Smithers?

SENATOR WILSON, at a political meeting held on Monday evening list, at Marlboro,' Mass., after reciting the predictions he had made at different times, and their more than fulfilment, then stated that General Grant would be elected President by the votes of not less than thirty States, and would be supported by a two-thirds majority of both Houses of Congress. The ever loyal white men, the repentant rebels, and the six hun dred thousand enfranchised colored men arc to reconstruct the Southern States, and send a majority of Republican Senators and Rep esentatives to Washington. AN editor down South says he wouid as soon try to go to sea upon a shingle, make a ladder ol fog, chase a streak of ligutning thiough a crab apple orchard, swim up the rapids of the Niagara river, raise the dead, stop the tongue of an old maid, or set Lake Erie on fire with a wet match, as to stop lovers from getting married when they take it into their heads to do so.

She pro cured one with the husk on, in which state he had never seen one. On arriving at home, she gave it to the boy, who look at it curiously, smiled, and laid it down. Present ly he said, "Mother, where's mv cocoa nut?" "I just gave it to you," she re plied. Taking it up again, he viewed it contemptuously for a moment, and exclaim ed —"That thing a cocoa-nut! 1 thought i it was a t caterfall A very natural mis take.

AN industrious blacksmith and an idle dan dy courted a pretty girl, who hesitated which of them to take. Finally she said she would marry whichever of them could show the whit est hands. With a sneer at the blacksmith the dandy held out his palms white from idle ness. The poor blacksmith hid his brawny hands in his pockets, then drawing them out filled with bright silver coins he spread them over his dusky fingers. The girl decided that his fingers were the whitest. DEPENDENCY. —The race of mankind, would perish, did they cease to aid each other. From the t?tae the mother binds the child's head, till the moment that some kind assistant wipes the death damp from the brow of the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help. All, therefore, that need aid, have a right to ask it of their fellow mortals. No one who has the power of granting it can refuse it without guilt SOCRATES, at an extreme age, learned to play on musical instruments. Dryden in his sixty-eighth year commenced the translation of the Iliad : and his most pleasing produc tions were written in his old age. Franklin did not fully commence bis philosophical pursuits till he had reached his fifteeth year. It is never too old to learn.

"Yes," said he, "but it would be pleasanter to be surrouuded by one.
