Her sunny hair Is wondrous fair, And wavy la Its How; "Who mndo it less One little tress, Wouldn’t yon like to know? Her eyes are blue, (celestial hue!)

Her foot is small, and hatha full Like snowflakes on the snow; And whore she goes. Beneath the rose— Wouldn't you like to know ? She has a name, the sweetest name That language can bestow; ’Twould break the spell If I should toll— Wouldn’t you like to know? «OOI) SHOT. “Bill, don’t you know that dad don’t allow you to buy shot?” asked a young urchin of a brother who was somewhat his senior, who was making a purchase of that article. You just never mind me. I’d thank you to attend to your own Business, Blis ter Bob. I don’t care what dad allows : I’ll buy what I please.” Little boy slightly agitated. “ I’m go ing to tell dad,” rushed out of the store and runs down street, and bounces into the room where the old man was quietly reading the morning paper. “Bad, dad, Bill went and got shot.” “ Good heavens!” cried the old man. dropping the paper'in consternation, and bolting for the door. “ Where is he ?” “ Bown to Thompson’s store,” responds Bob. In his excitement the old man forgot to remove his “ reading specks,” and in going down the steps misjudges the dis tance to the pavement, steps off too soon, and conies sprawling on all fours. He .gathers himself up, and starts for the store. The pavement appears to be about tlie level of his knees, consequent ly in his violent endeavors to keep it un der him, he cut a very ludicrous figure, and drew from the astonished by-staud ers such a roar as was never bestowed up on a single individual since the world be gan. “ Say, there, old Lift Up, whore aro you going; what train do you want to catch ?” cries one. “What will you take to give us a jig ?” inquires another. “ Where’d you learn that step?” asks a third; and thus he is assailed on every side. • . But ho hoars not the scofls and sneers of any one; he cares for nothing—nothing but William. At length his tedious march is brought to a close by arriving at the store where Bill is. stretched out, taking it easy. The old man, supposing him badly hurt rush ing up to him frantically, exclaimed : ‘‘Oh, William! William! where are you wounded ?” “What’s the matter, dad? Ye going crazy?” exclaims Bill, rising on his el bow, and casting a look of astonishment at the old man. “ Why, Robert said you’d got shot!” "So I did—l got half a pound of the best duck shot in the store.” The old man left.amid noise enough to drown a thunder clap. As might be supposed, Bob got the lamming and Bill A Government Inspector and his Partner. —Government Inspector, visits iug a lunatic asylum, saw the medical superintendent and said : “ I don’t wish to go over the asylum in the usual way, put to mingle with the patients as if I were an officer, a surgeon, or even one of themselves. By so doing I shall be better enabled to judge their intellectual state, ana of their progress in the direction of sanity.” “ With pleasure,” said the doctor ; “ it is Saturday, and we usually have a dance on Saturday night. If you go to the ball room, as we call it, you will see them dan cing and talking without reserve.” “ Would it be objectionable if I danced with them,” asked the official. “Not at all,” was the reply. The official walked into the ball-room, and selecting the prettiest girl for a part ner, was soon keeping up a very anima ted conversation with her. In the course of the evening he said to the doctor: “Do you know that girl in the white dress with the blue spots is a very curious case! I've been talking to her, and I cannot for the life and soul of me discov er in what direction her mental malady lies. Of course. I saw at once she was mad—saw it in the odd look of her eyes. She kept looking at me so oddly. Task ed her if she did not think she was the Queen of England, or whether she had not been robbed of a large fortune by the volunteer movement, or jilted by the Prince of Wales, and tried to find out the cause of her iaunncy, but I couldn’t; she was too artful.” “ Very likely,” answered the doctor; “ you see she is not a patient, she is one of the house-maids, and as sane as you are.” Meantime, the pretty housemaid went to all her fellow servants and said: “Have you seen the new patient?— He’s been dancing with me. A fine tall man with beautiful whiskers! but as mad as a March hare. He asked me if I wasn’t the Queen of England;.if a volun teer hadn’t robbed me of a large fortune; and whether the Prince of Wales didn’t want to marry me. He is mad—lsn’t it a pity? Such a fine young man !” Hibernian Toasts. —Two gallant sons of Erin, being just discharged from ser vice were rejoicing oVer the event, when one, who felt all the glory of his own no ble race, suddenly raised his pot above his head, and said: . 1 Arrau, Mike, hero's to the gallant old 69th—the last in the field, and the first to leave it.' ‘Tut, tut, man,’ said Mike; ‘ye don’t mane that.’ ‘ Don’t mane it, is it ?

There was once a Uttle, slim built fei low, rich as a Jew, riding along a high way in the State of Georgia, when he overtook a man driving a drove of hogs, by the help of a big, raw boned, six foot two specimen of humanity. Stopping before the last named individual, lie ac cost.! (I him: li I say, aro those your hogs?” u No sir; I am at work by the month. “What pay might you be getting, my friend?” “ Ten dollars a month and whiskey thrown in,” was the reply. • liero! I'm a w,oak, little, inoffensive man, and people, are apt to impose upon me, d’ye see? Now, I’ll give you twenty-live dollars a month to ride along with mo and protect me,” said Mr. Gardner. “But” he" added, “how might you be on a light?” “ Never was licked in my life,” rejoined the six footer. ■ ‘Just the man I want. It is a bar gain ?” queried Gardner. Six footer ruminated. “Twenty-live dollars ;* double wages, nothing to do but ride around and smash.’ a fellow’s mug occasionally when he is sassy.” They rode along, till just at night they reached the village inn. Gardner imme diately singled out the biggest follow in the room, and picked a fuss with him.— After considerable promiscuous jawing. Gardner turned to his lighting friend and intimated that the whipping of that man had become a sad necessity. Six footer peeled, went in, and come out first best. The second night at another hotel, the same scene was re-enacted. Gardner get ting in a row with the biggest man in the place, and six footer doing the light ing. At last, on the third day they came to a ferry kept by a huge, double fisted man, Who had never been licked in his life.— While crossing the river, Gardner, as usual, began to find fault and “ blow.”— The ferryman naturally got mad, threw things around, and told his opinion of their kind. Gardner then turned to his friend and broke the intelligence to him “ that he was sorry, but it was absolutely necessary to thrash the ferryman.” Six footer nodded his head but said nothing. It was plainly to be seen that ho did not rol tab. tho job by tho way. Hu shrugged his shoulders, but there was no help for it. So, when they reached the shore, both stripped and at it they went. Up and down the bank, over the sand in to the water, they fought, scratched, bit and rolled, till at the end of an hour tho ferryman gave in. Six footer was trium phant, but it had been rough work. Go ing up to his employer, he scratched his head for a moment, and then broke forth: “Look here, Mr. Gardner, your salary sets mighty well —but—l’m—of—the— opinion—that your inclined to be quar relsome. Here, I’ve only'been with you three days, and I’ve licked tho three big gest men in the country! I think the Arm had better dissolve : for you see, Mr. Gardner, I’m afraid you’re Inclined to bo quarrelsome, and reckon I’ll draw.” , Fortress Monroe and Its Projec tor. —Just before the daptulation of Uhl, Napoleon sent Captain Bernard, a young oflieer of engineers, on an important re connoitering expedition. With great skill and intrepidity he prosecuted his mission, advancing almost to Vienna.— On his return Napoleon personally ex amined him, and was much pleased with his answers. Among other things he re marked that it would be of great advan tage to direct the army upon Vienna, passing by fortified places, and that once master of the capital, the,Emperor might dictate laws for tho whole Austrian mon archy. This was taking too great a lib erty. Najioleon severely replied, “ You are very presumptuous I a young officer to pretend to trace out a campaign for me! Go and await my orders.” So soon as tho young man had retired Napoleon turned to Oen. lla-pp and.said,.” There is a man of merit; he has observed correct ly ; I shall not expose him to the risk of being shot; I shall have occasion for him by and by.” Thisyoungman finally be came an aid to Napoleon, and one of the most distinguished engineers in the world. It was he who planned Fortress Monroe at Old Point Comfort. Through the in fluences of Mr. Galatin, himself a foreign er, Gen. Bernard was appointed at the head of the Board of Commisioners on Sea-Coast Defences, and with him were associated Commodores Lewis Warring ton, and J. D. Elliott, Chief Engineer J. G. Swift, Colonel of Engineers, W. K. Armistead, and Major of Engineers, W. K’Kee. Fresh from the grand army of Napoleon, General Bernard had the most extravagant ideas of military works, and planned his fortifications to be garrisoned, not by hundreds and thousands, but by tens and hundreds of thousands. He had a notion that this country, like that of his native country depended, in a great measure, upon the impregnability and capacity of her lines of fortifications. He had not yet learned that tho true strength of a laud of liberty lies in the stout hearts and strong arms of her brave ycoraanary. Under these circumstances was old Fortress Monroe planned and constructed, with her massive strength and enormous proportions. No Balm. —Elde’r T- having occa sion to preach in the town of Gilead, chose what he fancied the appropriate text, ‘ls there no balm in Gilead ? Is there no phy sician there.” He tells the result: It happened that among my hearers was an old negro who had lived a great many years in the family of the village doctor, and nothing could rile the old fel low so quick as the mere suggestion that the doctor didn’t know anything. Every time that I repeated the text I noticed the old darkey manifested much emotion, which I attributed to the peculiar ferven cy of the African temperament; but warming with tho subject, I repeated the text with unusual pathos. l ls there no balm in Gilead, and is there no physic ian there?’ Old Pomp could stand it no longer; and springing to his feet, he said : ‘Don’t know nuffin ’bout tho balm, mas sa, but clere’s jea’ good doctor here as dero is in de world.’ A Prayer. —ln the State of Ohio (here resided a family, consisting of lin old man of the name of Beaver, and his three sons, all of whom are hard “ pets” who had often laughed to scorn the advice and en treaties of a pious though very eccentric minister, who resided in the same town. It happened one of the hoys was bitten by a rattlesnake, and was expected to die, when the minister was Sent for in great haste. On his arrival he found the young man very penitent and anxious to be prayed for. The minister, calling on the family, knelt down, and prayed in this wise“ O Lord ! wo thank Thee for rattlesnakes. We thank Thee because a rattlesnake has hit Jim. We pray Thee, send a rattlesnake to bite John ; send one to bite Bill; send one to bite Sam; and, O Lord! send the biggest kind of rattle snake to bite the old man ; for nothing but rattlesnakes will '.ever bring Thy Beaver family to repentance. jjgy A profound Observer remarks : “ I have often observed at public enter tainments that where there is anything to be seen, and overy-body wants par ticularly to see it, everybody immediately stands up, and prevents anybody from seeing anything.’’ * initial «IIAX» ( AJIPAHIN SPEECH FOR THE WOOLLY-HEADS.

ISEKCIIER AND IMS AUCTIONS. Once a year the Brooklyn searchers af ter things spiritual attend the great “ cheap Jack” institution presided over by one Henry, whose other name is Ward Beech er, and vie with each other in bidding for front seats, side seats, cushioned seals and standing places in the Plymouth Theatre. A poor man has no show of getting a ticket for glory from the great Beecher. Unlike Christ, there is a price, and a d—iekens of a price to his Christi anity 1 It costs money to get to heaven via Brooklyn. Pool' folks—that is, poor white folks —never will have their heav enly baggage checked from Beecher’s sta tion. Homespun, sheep grey and plain calico are not the apparel for Brooklyn.— Beecher has ten thousand dollars a year fur conducting his opera. It is the only theatre or nigger snow in the country which pays no license, and stock therein must pay a large earthly, if not so much of a kingdom-come dividend. The seats are sold there each year to the highest bidder, and the chief bidders are those who have no time to pray and do their worship by contract or by past-: ing a copy of the Lord's Prayer on their headboard, writing “ them’s my senii-' ments" underneath, and, after a nod in’ that direction, pop into bed as a frog goes into a pond when a boy slings rocks at the head of the watery ‘‘greenback.” The auctioneer arrives, fresh from the Club Booms, and at once begins. “ How ladies and gents, what am I of fered for choice of pews in this temple of Christianity? Talk fust, for time is cash. Choice of news, remember. Select which one you please. Ain I offered two thou sand —nineteen 'hundred—eighteen hun dred-seventeen hundred dollars a year for the choice of pews to hear the god like Beecher once a week for fifty-two weeks? Remember, gents, that he spouts ultimate and penultimate religion. That he discourses on Bible, nigger, the twelve apostles, including old John Brown, statesmanship, baptism, repentance, loy alty—that he denounces the devil, cop perheadism, poverty and all such crimes! Sixteen hundred will you make it for choice of pews? Too bad, gentlemen!— Not even sixteen hundred dollars a year? Why, (ellow Christians, if you own a pew here you can go to theatres, operas, home races, pretty waitergirl saloons, faro banks and perhaps the devil! And you can buy and sell gold, and stocks, and contraband cotton. You can keep a handsome hired girl, indulge in wine suppers and enjoy Christianity hugely. Will you say fif teen hundred—fourteen—thirteen—twelve hundred —and down she goes to Deacon Goldfish for twelve hundred. Brethren let us prwj “ Now, gents, what do I hear for the second choice? Just as good a seat as the first! Take your pick! Who’ll give two thousand? Remember that whosoever gives to the poor lends to the Lord! Will you make it nineteen hundred—eighteen hundred—and no poor people allowed in the pow—experienced sexton—knows his business. You want a choice pew to ex hibit your patent leathers, your furs, your broadcloth—the silks and satins of your wife, and plaids of your children.— ADVERTISING TERMS. ca ph subsequent Insertion.

I There was a time when people wor shipped God—not tho man. When they prayed from their hearts, not\with lying lips! When professors of religion lived lives of godliness, and not of dissipation, extravagance and recklessness. When the “dim old aisles of the forest rang with the anthems” of those who believed in God and the Redeemer as a means of grace rather than a cloak fo? deviltry.— There was a time when Christianity meant something—when the laws were honored—when extravagance did not take oven the rites of burial in its dinky grasp—when religion was a devotion in stead ot an art. We believe in that re ligion which seeks God in lowliness of spirit and not in that brass-mounted, sil vorpiatedstyle which drives to theoburch door with a nigger in livery and keeps a private glass, as a billiard player does his cue, to partake the sacrament from. If Christ should be born again, not one out of ten of these patent, aristocratic pro fessors of religion would call on His moth- - er during her stay in the stable where tho infant Jesus first saw light, for fear of los ing caste. We believe in religion, but not in this pomp and glitter—this auc tion, codfish aristocracy style. Jiegro r.uuulUy—Wlmt Docs it Menu 7 Wendell Phillips, who has acted as prophet during the .abolition crusade against the Constitution and its require- ments, says; “ Negro suffrage means a score of ne gro Congressmen sitting in the House of Iteprcsenialives. It means colored mer chants in New Orleans, and colored Sen ators in Columbia. It means negro rep- resentatives sharing in moiling railroad Jaws and other Jaws. It means social equality, and that was where the South erner met the question. Social equality follows hard on the heel of the ballot box, and the South knows it, and she resists negro suffrage for what must follow it.” Yes, this is exactly what it means, and all the sophistry of cunning politicians cannot make the people believe anything else. If equality will not do this much for the negro it will do nothing. A man cannot be equal In the sight of the law unless every barrier is thrown down that would keep him from entering the race for civil, religious’and political honors.— If one restriction blocks the way he is not an equal. The man that tells you that equality has restrictions for a portion of her citizens, tells you what is not true. They may laugh when the white man’s friend declares that equality, gives the blacks all the rights of citizenship, it is an ironical laugh, one designed to take the place of argument. Innovations never develop at once.— Like the growth of bodies it requires time to bring them into full life and action. — Unless the negro has the power to exer cise the right of suffrage, he never can benelit the disunionists of the North, and that power must be granted or the Sum nor-Ste vens programme fall to the ground. They know this, which accounts forthelr actions in that direction. Wendell Phil lips is correct when he says “ NEGBO SUFFRAGE MEANS negro Congress men, negro Merchants at New Orleans, and negro Senators in Columbia .” A fewyoars ago the radicals denied that they were in favor of the destruction of * the Federal compact, endeavoring to let on that they adhered to the doctrines enunciated in the resolution of Congress favoring a restoration of the States under the Constitution! But now they openly denounce men as traitors who seek such a restoration. • In a few .years this quib bling about the rights of the negro will be dispensed with and they will join Phillips in urging all its powers. Demo crats and conservatives, be not deceived by tire disunion schemers; they will on ly laugh at you after their alms are ac complished, should you allow them to conquer.

The Late Soldier’s Con vention.— lt cannot bo disguised that the late Soldier's Convention, recently held in this city, was a regularly packed affair, concocted by the Radical leaders of that portion of the Republican party who call it patriotic to vilify, abuse and headoff the President. It was one of the wise stratagies of For ney, Stevens, Williams & Co., to forestall —by the semblance of a solemn State Convention, composed principly of the bummers of Philadelphia and other places —the sentiments of the great mass of our soldiers, who, in their peaceful avocations Of life scarcely heard that such a Conven tion was to be held, and eared less for Its action. A Soldier’s Convention should have es chewed politics; yet when one of Demo cratic proclivities undertook to intimate that it convened for partizan purposes, he was gagged down with hisses. Every poisoned, tyrannical, Union hat ing, negro-suffrage loving, President-rev iling, Stale-right hating, centralized, power advocating, rule-or-ruin mottoed, silf-conceited, popular-sovereignty ana thematizing paper in the State, is copy ing the proceedings of that Convention os an expression of the sense of the great mas* of our soldiery endorsing the pres ent Rump Congress—denouncing the President and proclaiming for General Geary. It was no such thing. “Thesol dier will vote ashefought,’’saysacotem porary. He will. He fought to uphold the entirety of the Union against those who would have severed it—the ultras of the North and South —to the former class of which the majority in the present frac tional Congress belong. —JPittsburg Re public (Republican). Radical Piety Illustrated.— ln a discussion recently , in the Common Coun cil of Philadelphia, a member by the name of Hancock is thus reported : “ Mr. Hancock —I would go down into hell and break the ashes of the grave to teach the attorney who would go South to defend Jeff. Davis the contempt in which the people of the city hold him. I would have William B. Reed there, that every flapping shred of the flag may remind himof the shrouds of his murdered victims. “ Sir. Iletzel —I move to include Mr Thaddeus Stevens. “ Mr. Hancock —Well, I only say that With Thaddeus Stevens I am heart’ and hand. (Applause.) Ibolongtohisband. There is only one thing left in the land now, and that is the flag ; and I trust that we will ever hallow a'tlay that shows us how despotism was broken up. Such an unhallowed idea as Jeff Davis being par doned is preposterous, and ought not to be entertained. If I would see a traitor going to heaven, great Ood ! 1 would go the other wag." . Ho “would go the other way’,” and, we dare say, in so doing would take the most direct route home.
