POETRY.
From the Waverley Magazine.
HEARTS.
Some hearts are iifce the s-nnd.
Impressed by every passer by;
But tnc prims are entie
Ere the tide is iiigii.
Oiiiers. like the clay.
Can be moulded' in many forms.
But need sorrow's fiercest fire
To withstand life's many storms.
Others, as tiie adamantine rock,
Defy the storm's terrific blast,
And impressions once received
Til! eternity will last.
Lewistown, May, 1867,
THE fiIVEE PATH.
11l 1. O. WIIITIIER.
No bird song Buttered down the hill,
The tangled bank below was still.
No rustic from the birchen stem,
No ripple from the water's htm.
The dusk of twilight round us grew,
We felt the fwliiug of the dew;
For from us, ere the day was done,
The wooded lulls shut out the sun.
But on the river's farthest side
We saw tiie lull-tops glorified—
A teuder glow, exceeding fair,
A gleam o: day wuthout its glare.
Willi lis the damp, the chill, the gloom,
With them Hie sunset's rosy bloom;
While dark willowy vistas seen
The river roiled in shade between.
From ou: the darkness where we trod.
We gazed upon those hilts of God,
Whose light seemed not of moon or sun,
We spake not, but our thought was one.
We paused as if from that bright shore
Beckoned our dear ones gone before;
And stayed our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost to mortal ear!
Sullen our pathway turned from night,
'1 he hilts swung open to the light i
Thro' their green gates the sunshine showed,
A long, slant splendor downward flowed.
Down glad , and glen, and hank it rolled,
it bridged tiie sha-led stream with gold;
And borne on piers of mist allied
The shadowy with the sunlight side!
'So,' said we, • when our feet draw near
The river dark with mortal fear,
And the night comelli chill with dew,
O Father! let thy light shine through!
So let the hills of doubt divide.
So bridge with faith Hie sunless tide!
So let the eyes that fail on earth
On Thy eternal hills look forth ;
And in thy beckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we love below!'
-A- GOOD STORY.
THE LtniTlt'S RESOLVE;
OR,
The in;;cl and tlic Temptress.
George Jackson was a young man
of promise, and was so considered by
all in his native town. lie was a law
yer by profession, and was gradually
laying the foundation for a strong and
steady practice.
lie had one great drawback to con
tend against, however. He was a man
of a strong, impetuous nature, and had
inherited with it a fondness for di.isi
pation. In his younger days, and un
til he commenced the practice of his
profession, lie had led a wild, reckless
life, and had been regarded as a hope
less case. Upon receiving his certifi
cate lie had suddenly astonished his
friends by an abrupt discontinuance of
his old habits, and a steady applica
tion to business.
Yet no one knew what a struggle it
cost him to do so. Xo one knew the
mental agony he endured in trying to
cast off the temptation which constant
ly haunted him, and sought to cast
him down from the position he had
reached. It was, with him, a continu
al effort; for, in the society in which
he moved, not a day passed that lie did
not experience a temptation to aban
don his resolution, and indulge just
once, in the dangerous pleasure. His
legal friends were hy no means so
strict in their habits, and they fre
quently urgently urged him to join
in a friendly glass; and he scarcely at
tended an entertainment that he was
not offered wine. Ail theso offers were
quietly and courteously refused; but
j sometimes the young man felt that the
effort would snap his heartstrings He
n ade the struggle bravely, though. —
He firmly resolved never again to taste
intoxicating liquor, tor lie knew him
self well enough to he assured that the
rirst glass would only lead to another,
and the old thirst for liquor once
aroused, he could not tell where it
would end. Thus matters stood when
this story opens.
Mr., Jackson feeling that he was on
the road to success, and that prudence
and energy would certainly bring him
that blessing, thought it about time
that he should take a wife. He be
lieved that lie had arrived at years ot
discretion, and was capable of making
a judicious selection, and lie ended the
matter by resolving to settle this ques
l tion as soon as he had an opportunity.
In the town in which lie was resid
ing were two young women, who had
long divided the admiration of the gal
lans.
One was a beautiful, brilliant crea
ture, with glorious black tresses of the
same hue. She was, hy many consid
ered the belle of the town ; and indeed
it seemed hard to find a more beautiful
woman than Sarah Cariyle.
Others, however, gave the prefer
jencc to Lucy Lane, a quiet, modest
little thing, whose exquisitely sweet
face seemed to have stepped out from
one of Raphael's pictures
Mr. Jackson had known both ladies
for some time, but as he had not until
recently considered himself a 'marry
ing man,'had regarded thorn simply
as ordinary acquaintances. Like oth
ers, he had been perplexed to decide
which was the more beautiful. At the
first glance he invariably awarded the
palm to Miss Carlylo; but a sight of
Lucy Lane's sweet face would scatter;
this conclusion to the winds, and he
would feel irresistably drawn by the]
latter.
When lie made up his mind to hunt]
for a wife, his thoughts went immedi
ately to the two beauties, and he re
solved, that ii' he found their other
qualities such as he hoped, to try anti
win the one he could love best for his;
wife ; to tell the truth, the young man j
was half in love with both, but with a I
growing preference to Lucy. He want- ]
ed aw fe for something more than
mere beauty, and he could not help he- i
lieving that lie would find what he de
sired more surely in Miss Lane than
in Miss Carlylo. A favorable opportu j
nity soon presented itself to decide the l
question.
Miss Cariyle felt flattered by the at
tention of one who bade so fair to j
achieve distinction, and resolved to;
win him if her powers of fascination]
could do so.
On her twenty-fourth birth-day she
gave an entertainment which surpas-j
sed ain*thing the town had ever wit I
nessed. George Jackson was there I
She was radiantly beautiful, and the;
young man was half determined toad
dress her before the evening was over ;
When the guests went into thclsup
per room, Mr. Jackson found himself]
between two beauties. Some one pro !
posed the health of the fair hostess,!
atul all but the j*oung man drained]
their glasses to the bottom. He did
not drink. Miss Cariyle noticed this I
and said to him in surprise:
'ls it possible thai you refuse to:
drink my health, Mr. Jackson ?'
'Pardon tno,' lie said calmly,'you
know I never drink wine.'
' But this once will not make any
difference,' she urged smilingly.
' I am sorry to refuse you,' he said i
'hut I must do so. I resolved five:
years ago never to taste any intoxica
ting liquors. I might do myself great
harm by acceding to your request.'
• 1 am sure 3-011 cannot do wrong to
drink one glass and that to 1113* health,'
she said as sweetty as before.
She saw Lucy Lane watching them
calml3*, and she meant to show that
3'oung lud3* how greatly she had the
3*oung lawyer in her power. But for
this she would have accepted his ex
cuse, ami ceased to urge him. Mi-s
Lane's face flushed as she heard the
tuning temptress* speech, and involun
taril)' she gazed at Jackson as if a wait
ing his answer.
' Miss Carlylo,' said the young man
with evident embarrassment, '1 beg
3*ou will not urge me in this matter. ]
1 have made-a solemn resolution loab
stain from till kinds of liquors. I con
sidcr 1113' honor involved in this re
solve, and I am sure you would not
have me prove false to it'
' You will not do so by obliging me
this once,' still persisted tiie beau 13*. —
I' It is not fair for 3*ou alone to refuse
to drink 013- health. I am of
fended with 3*ou. Idon'tsee wli3*3'ou
should refuse to gratif3* me 011I3'lbr
once '
•To he candid with you,'speaking
slow, while his face flushed painfully,
1 am afraid to do so. You remember
the life I led five years ago. I am
afraid that even one single departure
from the path I have marked out for
myself might drag ine back lo it.'
Turning his head for a moment, he
saw Miss Lane standing b3* him, and
he knew from the look of sympatln*
which her face wore, that she had
heard the conversation.
' What shall I do,' ho asked her al
most unconscious^*.
' You must decule for yourself,' she
answered ' but I would die be
; f'oro I would abandon such a resolu
tion.'
Neither saw the angry flash that
darted from Miss Carole's e3*es. She
controlled herself, however, and said
carelessly : ' I shall urge 3'ou 110 more,
Mr. Jackson, and I am sony 3*oll should
lie so much afraid to pa}* 1110 so simple
a compliment.'
She bowed and passed to another
portion of the room, thinking that the
young man, in order to avoid offend
ing her, would fin ally 3'ield.
He did not and she soon saw him
: leave the house. He went away with
jtho matrimonial question finally set
tled. A woman who would urge him
as she had done to violate such a reso
lution, was not the person for a wife.
Liny Lane's simple rcpl3* decided his
] doubts in her favor, and the next da 3*
the 3*oung lady received a formal offer
iof his hand and heart, which she
promptly accepted. The3 r were mar
ried, and never aftowards did Mr. Jack
son liave'cause to regret Miss Carole's
conduct towards him for it gained him
a wife.

(NViclt is in tlie Stait uv Kentucky,)j
.April 25, 1867.—We nro in continyool
trouble dutvn here with these cttssid!
niggers They are harder to manage:
than pigs. Pigs don't express their
pecoolyarities. Mule comes nearer. —
There is sieh a method in their obsti
nacy—siclt a willful cussidnis that I i
reely her made up my mind that I
don't understand cm at all. They cud
die up to us ez kind ez a bloomin !
maiden does to Iter first adored, and [
they* fling us just ez natral ez that same;
guileless maiden does when number;
two heaves in site. They behave well
for a season, aperently for no other;
purpose than to enjoy our discomfiture;
when they finally throw us. 1 hev bin ;
a gittin a suspishen thro me that they l
ain't half ez stoopid ez they look, and |
th'at, after all, we are not fur from the
trooth when wc say in our resolooshcns
that they are the ekals uv the whites.;
Why shooden't they lie? Ah ! why in
deed '{ Why shooden't the nigger bo}-
wich is now erossin the street, wich
hez Deekim Pogram's feechers cz like
ez a photografF, hev ez much sense ez
the i)eekiii? I hev eggsamincd into:
the pedigree uv that nigger, and I find
that his mother hed the hawtiest and
best blood uv Virginity coursin toomul
chusly thro her veins—and that stock
the Pogram mix cooden't materially
depreciate in one generashen.
I lied the niggers of the X Roads'
very handsomely in tow up to yister
day. 1 hed em attendin services last
Sunday at the meetin-house, and by
private" arrangement hed em seated
miscellaneously among the awjence.—
Deekin Pogram hed a wench, which
weighed at least 250 pounds averdu
poise, atween him and his wife, while
four other niggers ornamented his pew.
Bascorn with alacrity consented to
three, and Elder Gavitt provided seats
for four It wuz a pleasin site! White
and black wuz alternated like the spots
on a checker board—niggersand whites
wuz spread out together like the fat
and lean in pork, and cz I seed it I
cood hardly restrane my ernoshuns.—
There before be wuz the regenorashun
uv the Democratic party —there wuz
what wuz to bring us out uv the valL*
and shadder uv death into wich we
hed fallen, up on tho high ground uv
offishel life. I preached that memra
ble da 3* from two texts, to wit: ' Uv
one blood did he make all the naahensj
uv the earth,' and 'All 3*e are breth
ren,' and I orated a movin discourse.!
I demonstrated with great fervor the
loonacy uv the idea that the Almighty i
wood take the trouble to create two or
more races when one wood do ez well
—wich idea is alluz well received in
this region All men form their idea
of the Deity somewhat from them
selves, and I never knowd a Confedrit
Cross Roader to make two things wen
one wood anscr. I refuted the theoiw
advanced I) 3' some writers that ther
wuz more than one head to the race,
1)3- quotin tho texts wich treated uv
the creashun of Adam and Eve, and
demolished the Ham doctrine at site
' Ef,' sed 1, ' Noer did cuss Ham and
condemn Canaan to be a servant unto
his brethren, how do we know that
our colored brethern and sistern is the
descendants uv Ham and Canaan? It
may be us for all we know. Is it his
color? Is not black jest ez convenient
a color cz white?'
' More so,' murmured Mrs. Pogram,
half asleep, ' more so—it don't show
dirt.'
'ls it his siiape ? Oh, 013* brethren,
I a.nt a handsome man, ror wood I
exactly anser for a n;odel for Apoller.;
Ef beaut 3* or comeliness, or shape, or
Bt\ltf, is to decide tho pint, may the]
Lord help us! Is it his smell? My,

that the nigger haint no smell, and ef;

jist ez he chooses ? Ef smell must be
uniform then let our Government es-'

grounds in this matter. Ef he hez

' M 3' brethern and sistren, I ac
knowledge that I hev not long held
these views. I hev showed the com
mon prejudis, and hev contemmed our
friends of color. I hev
used em, I hev gone for em and bang

coz I didn't know m. I didn't see the
kernel of under the rough shell,
I didn't reocognize the glitterin diu

shen and bless the Lord that it hez re
sulted in devclopin excellencies where
we didn't expect to find era/
f There wuz an aflectin eceno after
service wuz over. Deekin Pogram,
Capt. McPelter and Elder Gavitt shook
hands with em with a degree of cor
jality I didn't expect. Trooly them
aro great men. They develop a de
gree uv adaptability to circumstances
wich I didn't look for. I really be
lievo if I'd a told em that it wood hev
a good effeck to kiss the nigger babies
all around, that they'd a done it. But
I spared em this. There is such a
thing ez laying it on too thick.
But all this wuz spiled the next day.
There wuz an eggstraordinary heavy
mail that day. In addition to the pa
per Pollock, the Illinois store keeper,
takes, there wuz eight others, and to
my surprise they wuz all directed to
i niggers. 'Wat is this,' thot Ito my
self. ' Ilev the Ablisbnists uv the
North determined upon proselytin
these men, and are they goin to flood
this country with their incendiary
read in? Ez a federal officer its my
dooty to look into the matter !' Jist
imagine my delinious joy at findin that
they wuz Democratic papers from Noo
York and Ohio! 'Thank Heaven!'
sed I, 'Our people hev awakened a
sense uv the necessity uv doin suthin/
and I handed the papers out to em
with impressive words, exhortin uv
cm to read em, ez they wuz trooth, and
nothin but the trooth.
I ruther think they read em, for
from that time out they avoided me,
ez though I bed the plague. Ef I wuz
agoin down the street and one uv em
wuz a comin up he'd cross tho street,
and tho pecoolyer expression uv his
countenance indicatid that it wuzn't
my majesticlc presonco wich awd him.
1 They hed loathiu depicted on their
• classick feechers. Unable to endoor
1 this I seezed one uv em and asked why
- I wuz treated thus?
J Delibritly, he pulled out his pocket
one uv them cussed Northern papers,
3 and openin it pinted, indignantly, to a
* editorial article. It wuz perfoosely
e headed in this wise :
Sliel niggers vote !—Shel the prowd
Caucashen beredoostto aekality with
the disgustin Afrikin?—ls this a white
man's government or not? Ameriky
for white men !
Sed this Ethiopian, with his fingers
on this headin, 'Pears like ez ef dah
wuzn't jist dat good feelin towards us
colored men on de partob deDimoc'sy
ob the Xorf, dat dah ought to be.—
'Pears like as dough up dah wha de
niggah ain't got no vote, datdey don't
intend he shall hab it. 'Pears like, ef
Democ'sy's one thing all ober de coun
try, dar's a cussed site of humbug a
going down heah !'
Wat cood I say? Wat cood I do?—
Thero it wuz in black and white, and
from papers whose Dimocrisy could
not be questioned. I wuz dumb-found
id The nigger stalked hawtfly and
proudly away in one direckshen, while
I sneaked off ruther sneakingly in an
other.
I hev one word to say to our breth
ern in the North. Yoo'r doublin our
troubles, and raakin our burdens hard
er to bear. Why can't yoo understand
common sense? Wat hurt wood nig
ger suffrage doo up there wher their
ain't no niggers, and how much wood
it benefit us down here, where there's
millions uv em? Can't you see it? We
can't play the same game on the nig
gers that wo used to play on the stur
dy yeomanry uv Berks county, Penn
sylvany, and other localities. On all
questions heretofore the Democrisy
hez allowed a liberal license." Wo have
bin Free Trade in Noo York, and Tar
iff in Pennsylvany the same year, and
we cood do it. Sich Dimocrsts didn't
get ther asshoorences from papers,
owin to their inability to pcrooze em
rapidly, it bein so long aforo they got
a word spelled out that they forgot the
one precedin it, which destroyed the
connexion, the continuity uv the nar
rative, ef I may so speak, and wat we
told em wuz gosple. That won't do
with the nigger down hero, lie reads,
he does; and ef he don't, ther's alius
everywhere sum such sneakin cuss ez
Pollock, who reads for him, and they
know wat they know jint ez well ez
anybody. Let em stop bammerin the
nigger. It won't do. Ef ho's to be a
: man and a brother here, he must be a
man and a brother there. Ef the De
mocrisy must hfcv a race to look down
! to, let em turn their attenshun to the
Chinese or the Injuns, but from this
time out the nigger is sacred.
