I looked at John, John looked at me.
(Dear patient John, who loves me set,
Aa well a.s rho( my locks were Jet!)
And when I round that I must speak,
Ify voice seemed strangely ow and weak,
“Tell me again what hobert said,"
And then I, Int:Ming, bent my head
=
"I will give
A house and lands while you Mall lire,
If in return from out your wren,
One child to me for aye Is given."
I looked at John's old momenta worn,
I thought of all that. John had borne;
Of poyert:, , and work, and care,
Willett I, though willing, could not share
I thought of seven little months to feed,
Of seven little children's need,
And theu of Mb.
"Come, John." said I,
"We'll choose among them as they lie
Asleep so walking hand in hand,
Dear John and I surveyed our band.
Pint to the cradle lightly stepped,
Where Lillian the baby slept,
A glory 'iminst the pillow white.
Softly her father stooped, to lay
His rough band down its loving way,
Whendream or whisper made her stir,
And huskily he said, "Not her—not her."
We stooped beside the trundle bed,
And one tong yay of lamplight abed
Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleep so pitiful and felt;
I saw on Jamle's rough young cheek
A tear undried. Ere John could speak
-He's but a baby too," said I,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale, patient Robble's angel face
81111 in his sleep bore suffering's trace.
"No, for a thousand crowns, not him,"
Ile whispered while our eyes were dim.
Poor Dick ! bad Dick! our wayward son,
Turbulent, reckless, idle one—
Could he be spared? "Nay, its who gave,
Did us befriend him to the grave;
Only a mother's heart can be
Patient enough for such as he.
And eo," said John, "I would not dare
To send him from her bedside prayer."
Then stole we softly up above,
And knelt by Mary child of love.
"Perhaps for her 'twould better be,"
I said to John. Quite silently
lie lifted up a curl that lay
Across her cheek In wilful way,
And shook his head. "Nay, love, not thee,"
The while my heart beat audibly.
Only one more, our eldest lad,
Trusty and faithful, good and glad—
So like his father, "No, John, no—
I cannot, will not let him go."
And FO we wrote in courteous way,
We could not give one child away;
And afterward toll lighter seemni,
Thinking of that of which we dreamed.
Happy In truth that not one face'
We missed from its accustomed place;
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting the rest to One In /Leaven.
TIT FOR TAT.
"Was there ever such a jealous follow,
always contriving some new test to sub
ject my affections to !" said Julia Har
vey to her sister, Mrs. Fanny Markham,
as she handed her a letter.
• It was from Julia's lover, Captain Paul
Wilcox, an officer In an Infantry regi
ment, who wrote to her to prepare to re
ceive him. lie told her she would find
him much changed, for he had been
wounded in the leg and lost his left arm,
and he had felt it his duty to say that
he should not hold her to her engage
ment, though he loved her as devotedly
as ever. Now it happened that Julia had
a correspondent in the army, from whom
she discovered that the Captain had re
ceived no injut les, and that his story was
concocted purely as an additional teat of
the devotedness of the (atone.
EIZEM
MEM
"We'll pay him MT for this trick, Ju
lia," said Mrs. Markham. "Come, and
I'll lubtruct you how to give him change
in his own coin."
Shortly after the ladies had retired,
Captain Wilcox, pluming himself on his
strategem, was alone lu the drawing
room. He buttoned his arm up in his
coat, and left the slemie hang empty,
while he counterfeited a baiting gait,
and put a large piece of plaster on his
left cheek to cover an imaginary sabre
cut.
In a few minutes Mrs. Markham ap
peared.
"Returned at last!" cried she, warmly
shaking his hand. "My dear Paul!"
"There's not much left of me—little
better than half," said the soldier. "I
left my poor arm in the West Indies."
"Poor, dear Paul," said the lady. "And
how is your leg ?"
"Very poorly ; I am troubled with daily
exfoliation of the bone."--

.'Poor Julia!" she sighed.
"She will be much affected by the
change in me, will she not?" asked the
brave Captain.
"Oh, dear no; I was thinking of the
change in her."
"Change in her?" '
"What! haven't you heard?"
"Not a word."
"Ah ! I see—she was afraid to write It
to you. She ham lost all her beauty.—
Th—yon know she never was vacci
nated."
"Never vaccinated ?"
"No—and she has had the amall-pox
very badly. Poor Julia.- She has last
the sight of her right eye. Her face is
very much discolored. Her nose is ter
rihiy red."
"A red nose?"
"Yea- R 'doesn't matter so muck
about her eyes—she wears blue specta
cles."
"Blue spectacles and a red nose?" ex
claimed the Oaptain.
"But you don't mind that. Beauty is
nothing," said Mrs. Markham, who was
ravishingly beautiful herself. "You love
Julia tot/her heart; you always told her
so. As you are mained and disfigured
yourself, why you can sympathize with
each other. You will be a very well as
sorted couple—three eyes and three arms
between you:"
"A red nose and blue spectacles!"
"Hush l here comes Julia," said Mrs.
Markham. "Don't appear so shocked.—
Julia, my love, here's the Captain."
The door opened, and Jullaentered.—
She had painted her face most artistical
ly, a pair of blue spectacles concealed
her fine black eyes, but the marvelous
feature of her face was her nose—it
glowed with all the brilliancy of a car
buncle.
"Oh, dear Paul," sald she ; "poor dear
Paul, how much you must have suf
fered."
"I have ontarm left for you to lean
upon," said the Captain.
"But you are lame. We can never
dance the Schottische more?"
"I don't know, but I can manage it all
but the aide steps and hope," said the
Captain ruefully.
"But don't you And me hideous?"
asked the fair one.
"Not exactly," said the poor OaptaLu.
"The tip of your nose Is rather a warm
color, to be sure."
"Oh. the doctor says it will settle Into a
purple by-and-by."
"Oh, be does, does he ?" said the Cap
tain abstractedly.
"Do you ,think I should Louk WM:
with a purple nue?" asked
"Speak not of it," said the Captain.
"But tell me, when you heard of my in
juries, were you Inclined to relinquish
my hand Y"
"Not for one moment."
"Then forgive my deception," said the
Captain. "Here is my left arm as sound
as ever; I have no wound upon my
cheek, and I can dance from dark till
dawn."
"How could you be so cruel," said Ju
lia. "It is now my turn to ask if you
are willing to fulfill your engagement 7"
"With all my heart," said the Captain.
"I am grieved for the loss of your beau
ty, I confess; but your heart and mind
are dearer than your person."
"Excuse me for a moment," said the
lady. "I must retire for a few minutes."
In an instant she returned, radlautoin
all the glory of her charms.
"Paul," said she, "how do you like me
now ?"
"You are an angel," said the Captain,
holding her in hill arms. "How could
you treat me so cruelly with the red
nose and spectacles?"
"Sot a word of that," said the beauty.
"We have friends in camp who exposed
your jealous folly, and. it was only 'tit
for tat.'"
"I deserve it all," %aid the Captain,
"and here I vow I am cured of Jealousy
forever."
When they were married, which fol
lowed as s matter of course, they were
pronounced the handsomest couple that
ever submitted to the matrimonial noose,
WHAT 18 A CORNSTALK?--"What is
this God about whom you have been say
ing so . much?" said an unbeliever to a
preacher, after hearings discourse about
God.
"God is a spirit," reflied the preacher.
"What is a spirit?" asked the skeptic,
fiercely.
"What is a cornstalk?" rejoined the
preacher.
"Why—why—why—a cornstalk is a
cornstalk."
"Yee, slr," said the preacher, "a !Wit
is a spirit; and if you cannot tell me
what a cornstalk is, which you have seen
a thousand times, and know has an exist
ence, why do ask me to tell you - what
the Infinite Spirit is, or why do 'you
doubt Ills existence?"
The skeptic was dunib, as-all skeptics
will be when they stand to be judged by
that God whose name they blaspheme,
and whose word they despise.
"Err any butter here," asked a coun
try customer, who walked into a dry
goods establishment in a neighboring
city, and looked much like a character
who knew a great deal more of himself
than he cared to tell. "No, sir," replied
the merchant, "we don't wish to buy
any." "Will you buy any eggs?" "No,
sir; we keep a dry goods store here."
"Sol- well mnybe you'd like to buy some
chickens, fat as little pigs, and a mighty
sight nicer too." "No, sir; I tell you
we don't deal in anything but dry goods."
"Couldn't I sell you a nice fat shoulder
of pork ?" persisted the countryman.
"I tell you, air, we deal exclusively in
dry goods here." "Well, what will you
give for dried peaches 1"
A LADY residing on "Hemlock Side,"
went out shopping, promising her little
son she would get him a cocoanut. She
procured one with the husk on, in which
state he had• never seen one. Ou arri
ving at home, she gave It to the boy, who
looked at it curiously, smiled, and laid it
down. Presently ho said, "Mother,
where's my cocoanut "I just gave it
to you," she replied. Taking it up again,
he viewed it contemptuously for a mo
ment, and exelaimed—"That thing a
cocoanut! I thought it was a waterfall !' '
A very natural mistake.
A LADY found occasion to call upon a
dentist and have her teeth filled. Among
those tilled were two front ones, and
when In a pleasant mood the lady's face
shone with smiles, the polished gold
glittered from the upper incisors. These
were observed with admiration by her
little niece, who, by the by, seriously re-,
marked,— _
"Aunt Mary, I wish I had copper-toed
teeth like yours."
&MOULD like that beautiful spotted
little tiger est," said a lady, while visit
log a menagerie, recently
"What for?" said her husband.
"Oh, to have it for a pet, and to sleep
with," said the lady.
"What do.yon want to sleep with such
a thing for?"
"Why just to see the difference be-
tween that and sleeping with a bear."
The husband suddenly proposed to
take a look at the monkey.
"So you are going to teach a school,"
said a young lady to her aunt; "well, for
my part, sooner than dO that, I would
marry a widower with nine children."
"I should prefer that myself," was
the quiet reply, "but where is the wid
ower?"
A LADY, having accidentally broken a
smelling-bottle, her husband, who was
very petulent, said to her: "I declare,
my dear, everything that belongs to you
is more or less broken." . "True," replied
he lady, for even you are a little
cracked."
A ws-rnror paper publishes the follow

A NEGRO returning from church was

one asked him to repeat a part of it,
when he scratched his whoolly head and

A FASTER in MISSOUSI, on beingasked

It is a good sign when a man Is proud
1 1 of hie calling. Yet nothing is more cow-
I mon than to hear men finding fault con
stantly with their particular business,
and deeming themselves unfortunate be
cause fastened to it by the necessity of
gaining a livelihood. In this spirit men
fret, and laboriously destroy all their
comfort - in the work ;or they change I
their business", and go on miserably,
shifting from one thing to another, till
the grave or, the poorhouse gives them a
fit grip. But while ootaalonally a man
Ogle In life because he is not In the piaoe
fitted for his peculiar talent, It happens
ten times oftener that failure results
from neglect and even contempt of an
honest business, A man should put his
-heart into every thing that he does.
There is not a profession that has not its
peculiar cares and vexations. No man
will escape annoyance by changing bus
inesa. No mechanical business is alto
gether agreeable. Commerce, in its end
less varieties, is affected, like all other
human pursuits, with trials, unwelcome
duties, and spirit-tiring necessities. It
is the very wantonness of folly for a man
to search out the frets and burdens of his
calling, and give his mind every day to

to human life. They are inevitable.—
Brooding, then, only gives them strength.
On the other hand, a man has power glv-,

upon the- homeliest toll, tf he is wise.
Let a man adopt his badness, and iden

pleasant associations; for God has given
us imagination not alone to mate some
poets, but enable all men to beautify
homely things. Heart-varnish will cov

Look at the good things. Accept your
lot as a man does a piece of rugged
ground, and begin to get out the rocks
and roots to deepen and mellow the soil,
to enrich and plant it. There is some.

ZIOLD Oil. DEVIL.
In the early days of the State of Indi
ana, the capital was Corydon, and the
annual session of the General Assembly
usually brought together as wild a set of
mad wags as could be found in the State,
who had to rely on their own resources
for amusement, for there were then few
theatres, conceits or shows. These lov
era of mischief had established a mock
Secret Lodge, into which they would en
tice such of were a little green, and take
them through a variety of ridiculous cer
emonies to the crowd.
On one occasion, It being understood
that a good natured, athletic young man,
about half a simpleton, was to be initlat
ed, the room was crowded. Judge Grass
(it being a character in which he was pe
culiarly happy) had consented to act the
role of the Devil, and, to make the ser
vices more impresalve, had pot on a false
face, awl a large paper cap surmounted
with horns, and with some chains in his
hand, placed himself behind a screen.
after taking the candidate through a,
variety of ceremonies, Le was brought to
a stand before the screen, and then told
that be had to eonfeesall the crimes he
had committed during his whole life,—
The . candidate cool's/wick some trivial of
fences, and declared that he had disclos
ed all the crimes lie had ever committed.
At this the pretended devil became furi
ous, the chains rattled and he s hook them
in the face of the terrified candidate,
who, starting back in alarm , cried out :
"Hold on, Af-m-m-mister if
I m-m•must t-t-t-tell you, I d-d=did kiss
4-j-j-judge G-g-grass' w-V-wife c-e-cou
ple of t-t-ttines I"
The groaning ceased: .
GENERAL LTA N, of Illinois. one of
the itinerant stump speakers employed
by the Radicals, recently "came to grief"
In this wise: At one place, it is report
ed, while he was making a speech in
favor of Radicalism, a lady arose, and
said, substantially : "Did you not, John,
offer my husband money If be would go
and join the Southern army? Did you
not offer to equip him out for that pur
pose?"
"No," replied Logan.
"Yon lie, John," was the response of
the lady. "I am your sister, and the
man you tried to get to Join the rebels
was my husband."
Fancy the General's feelings after that,.
THE Alexandria (La.) Democrat re-
Isles the following: Among the notice
able incidents of the late election farce,
we werean eye witness to the following:
An old and faithful servant of one of
our oldest citizens had just been ushered
oat of the back door of the voting room
in the Town Hall, when he was accosted
in the street by his boss, and asked the
question : "Well, Peter, have yon voted ?"
Old Pete looked up wisely and remark
ed, "No, fore God! Masser Joe, they
took my ticket from me and put it in a
candle box, and wouldn't let me vote."
RAILROAD COMMUNICATION WITH
WASHINGTON CITY.—The speedy con
struction of the Railroad from Washing
ton City to the Point of Rocks, there
connecting with the Baltimore and Ohio,
is now a fixed fact, beyond peradventure
or dispute. The contracts for the con
struction of the road have all been award
ed, and the work is being actively and
energetically pushed forward. The pro
posed road will connect with the Balti
more and Clio Railroad, but a few miles
east of Weverton, the point of Junction
of the WashlngtOn County Railroad, and
when completed then) will be nearly an
air line communication by railroad be
tween Eagerstown and Washington
City, and a chole between two routes of
nearly equal length to Baltimore.—Free

A CARD FROM GOVERNOR BROWNLOW.
—A special despatch to the New York
Herald from Nashville, Bays : Governor
Browniow, in a published card, gives
a flat denial to the testimony ofDetective
Baker before the Impeachment Com
mittee, wherein Browniow is said to
have been cognisant of a letter written
by Andrew Johnson to Jefferson Davis.
The Governor further says that he does
not believe Mr. Johnson ever wrote &
letter to Jefferson Davis or any other
man giving aid and comfort to the rebel
lion.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN , / OPIPNIMMTION TO
X 66120 ISCIFTSAGIIL
Abraham Lincoln was uniformly, and
to the last hour of hie life, eteadfiuitly
hostile to negro etiffhga. He swim
abandoned the belief that it would be
Improper and dangerous to inoorpwate
so large a mass of ignorance to the body
politic., On the very last day of his life
the question of reconstruction was dis
cussed In a Cabinet meeting, and a plan
partially arranged, looking to the adjust
ment of the difficulties. There was
no clause incorporating negro author
in it. At a Cabinet meeting held very
shortly after the accession of President
Johnson, the same subject came up, and
the Cabinet were a unit then against
negro suffrage. Secretary Stantou, In
his evidence before the Judiciary Com
mittee, says:
The President expressed his views
very clearly and distinctly. I expressed
my views, and other members of the
Cabinet expressed their views. The ob
jection of the Prekident to throwing the
franchise open to the colored people m).
peered to be fixed, and I think every
member of the Cabinet assented to the
arrangement as it was specified In the
proclamation relative to North Carolina.
After that. I do not remember that the
subject was ever discussed in the Cabl
not.
The insane project of making voters
of all the barbarian negroes of the south .
came from Congress. That body fa alone
responsible for the Iniquitous and de
structive system which Is now working
ruin In the South. Stanton and some
others who where members of Mr. Lin. ✓
coin's Cabinet, after the adoption of ne
gro suffrage by Congress, supported it.
But it never received the sanction of
Mr. Lineoln.—Lane. Intel.
HELPER, the author of the "Impend
log Crisis," is out lu a long letter, de
nouncing the Radical Congress and peaty
In the most unmeasured terms. The fol
lowing extract from the. letter will hid!.
este the views of Helper upon the effbrta
now making by the Radical party to
Afrieanize the the country. It is proper
to remark In this connection that Helper
still claims to be a member of the domi
nant party of the nation. He says:
We insist upon it that the enfranchise
ment of the negroes, and the disfran- -
ehisement of the whites t - whereby the 4
supremacy of the negroes has already
been established, or is about to be estab
lished in almost every Southern State, is
I a consummate outrage, an unmitigated
despotism, un unparalleled infamy. and
an atrocious crime, We insist" upon It,
that our Federal government and oar
State governments are, as they ought to
be, republican in form, and that the mil-
Way authorities ought at all tinies t ex
cept only in cases of actual war, in the
future as in the past, to be held subordi
nate to the civil authorities. We further
insist upon it, that the whole drift of
Radical legislation, for the last eighteen
months and more, has been, and still is,
unedateemanLike, unrepublican, vindic
tive, and despotic—perilous to all the
principles of enlightened self-govern
ment, and alarmingly degrading and
inimical to the white civilisation and
progress of the entire New World.
WILSON, of Massachusetts, has under
taken to lecture the Alabama black cud
tans. He has written a letter to Gen,.
Swayne, in which he declares that "the
policy pursued by the convention, In
legislating for divorce, and in other ways
transcending their authority, and the 01-
Ira speeches of Bingham, and men of
that class, are doing great injury to re.
construction, and bringing odium on tn.
Republican party." If, as this implies,
the Rads are themselves sick of the gor
gon they raised up to "reconstruot" the
State, how must the people—who are the
victims of the convention—feel upon the
subject?
LAST winter the Rump Bade made an
extenelve bid for "God and morality" -
popularity, by the abolition of the "Hole

building where "liquid damnaticin," as

bers. Since then there has been estrange
revulsion. On Wednesday week the
Honorable Vienna Schenck ottbred
resolution, which was referred to a com
mittee, to renew the contract with a ne
gm who keeps a restaurant in the Capitol,
and that "he be allowed to sell beer and
malt liquors." That le Radicalism With

THE standing army numbers 68,900
