A) tweet at be otrald be ;
Bat ercry night be wouldn't go,
And that made misery.
For Mary's ma, she never slept,
But listened fall of lean ;
And when, to late, poor Mary crept
To bed, she'd box ber ears.
And pa said gas bills all were high
And that the coal was low.
And swore he'd mnrder by and by
That chap who wouldn't go.
And Mary she grew thin and pal;
Her lover be grew tiout;
II or pe rents threats had do avail,
He would not be put oat.
And spite of Mary's woful gate
He'd shovel on tbe coal,
And poke the fire to a blase
And on tbe tola lolL
At length the pa and ma, both grave.
Said thin, t had reached a past
W hen something mast ! done to save
Their winter's coal ana gat.
Tbe youth's ceatrnfiont they mutt know
And Alary 's ma said the
Would quest ion M arj's little bean.
And pa said so wonld be.
Ill; Mary wept, but all In vain ;
That very night ber pa
Walked in tbe parlor with bit cane
Bebiad him came ber ma.
And then poor Mary's little beau
Stopped poking at tbe grate.
And turning pale laid be must go
Belore It was too late.
But ma backed against the door,
And pa upheld the cane.
And at he trightened youth be swore
That now he must remain
Until be settled for the gat
And oml that be had scored :
But if a marriage came to pas
He'd take It out for the board,
Ala ! poor Mary's Utile beau
Had not wherewith to pay.
And begged If they would let him go
He'd tettie up next day.
No trust P tbe angry parent cried.
And then he took the lad
Across bit knee and swiftly plied
Tbe cane, for be was mad.
Then tossed him out upon tbe snow,
And double-locked tbe door ;
Which aeltlid Mary s little beau,
W bo never came there more.

The voice was wonderfully lood
and clear, seemiogly coming from tbe

"Alofubere !"
"Halloa 1" was tbe answer back.
"Come down cn deck," was the
an'am's imperious order.
Come op here, and see b w you

Come down, I Bay, on oecu

cried the captain appealing to the

"No out", air," was the reply, '-

Tbe captain's rsge was now tern

"AH seem present, Mr. Rassom!
What do too mean by tbat, sir 7 I
ask ton asain, who is up there?"
"o one known to me," reiurcea
the man. "All are present. All are

Such was the case. But the sec

sprang op tbe riitniog and looking
over tbe toprim, then made tbe cir

"Then tbe ship must be baonted 1"
cried tbe cbiet mate.
Tbe captain thereupon dropped tbe

In ibis, however, 1 did not agree; but
no able to bring tbe tyrant to justice
single-handed, I resolved to quit tbe

several days. I was caught and
brought back to tbe ship. As my ad
ventures as a fugitive are not essen

pass tbem bv, and take op the thread
of my narrative.
We set sail on our return voyage.
Captain Phillips was an altered man.
tie abstained from spirits ; be con
trolled bis temper, and this, witb tbe
addition of a fine steady breeze, made
our lives on board happy. But, alas !
we were doomed to a sad ending up
of the voyage. Keeping too near tbe
laod, and a sqnall laying hold oo tbe
ship, we were driven on a lee shore,
it was just after midnight when we
struck, aud tbe darkness was terrible;
and, leaping out of my hammock, 1
ran on deck. I could see nothing
save the wild waters racing over tbe
deck. 1 cried out to mv ebio-mates.
but got bo answer. It was not pos
sible to reach tbe afier-part of tbe
vessel where tbe lite belts were kept.
So, acting oo tbe impulse of tbe mo
ment, I leaped into the sea. Catch
iog bold uf a friendlv rock, 1 was
saved. Dayliifht came after a wearv
aiting. Tbe first thing I Baw was
the dead body of poor Captain Phil
lips, and not very far from n tbat of
our Chinese cook. The rest were
saved.
We made our way to Portland,
where we were paid off. Tneoce 1
proceeded to Sao Francisco. I had
often asked myself whence came thoe
strauge voices and fearful words
wbicb had so alarmed our captain
and put most of tbe crew in terror,
aud bad so opportunely on one occa
sion saved me from the vengeance of
tbe captain. But it was beyond my
power to answer the inquiry ; neither
could the mate nor any of the sur
vivors throw light thereupon. Had
we known wbat ventriloquism wax,
we might bave bad therein a solution
of tbe mystery; bat I bad never beard
an adept in tbe art, neither bad any
of my shipmates ; otherwise 1 judge
sucb tact would bave been mentioned,
aud the voices accounted for on that
ground. Poor Chester, wben with us,
our most intelligent shipmate, seemed
to be aa much in the dark as the rest
of us, altboorjb be was not in tbe
least pnt out ot the way by tbe occur
rences. Strolling along the streets of

after toe wreck, ready for any tbiog
in tbe way of amusement tbat might
turn op. my eye caagbtalarge poster
which announced the wonderful do
lugs ot Professor -Meredith, "the un
rivaled and world-renowned ventrilo

This, tbonght I, shall be the source
of my evening's enjoyment. Turning

corner of tbe body of tbe building.
and was not long in being carried
away by the wonderful sayings and
doiugs of tbe Professor At last he
told as be would hold an imaginary
conversation with a person op tho
chimney. He did bo. When, in the
midst ot a dialogue, tbe person op
the flue gave a derisive "Uab, bah,
bah !"
1 was startled. I sprang from my
seat. "Surely." said I. half aloud.
those are tbe voice and tone and
words wbicb more than ooce came
from the maintop of tbe Niger." And
wbile I was staring at the Professor
witb eyes ready to leap ont of their
sockets, he came to tbe front of tbe
tags to perform bis part. Then, in
pite of bis flowing beard and other

Meredith, the identical Jack Ches

ment.
' Sit down !" cried one ; "Pot him

Iu tbe meantime I had come to
myself and resumed my seat, but not

sign of recognition.
When tbe performance was over,

be, "and you shall bave a solution of

How came you to be saved from a

Our readers know our peskion to
ward tbe candidacy ot Mr. Grant
The Freie Presse was founed in 1 ST 1
as a iaioerai -uepuoncau paper. aAs
sucb it fougbt grant wkh a great
deal of energy. Although many ct
tbe suppositions of that time bave
u?eanwbile proved erroneous, still it
is no pleasing task to recommend
a candidate now to whom we were
formally opposed.
From these and other reasons cur
first choice was John Sbermau ; our
second K. B Wasbburne. But after
the violent attacks of ibe tidiisia iu the
Republican party have seriou-Iy iu
jored the prospect of tbe former, and
aud after Mr. Washburn has most
positively pronounced tor Grant, aud
given it as his opiuion tbat be was
ouly brought forward as a candidate
to weaken Grant, whom be regards
as the "best man' since toat time
tbe ouly question is whether Grant
or Blaiue shall be the candidate of
the republican party.
Our political life is rich iu disppoint
nieut. Whoever wants to exerciee
some inliueuce in shaping puoii
afidirs must join a party aud by so
doing mui-t sacrifice a great part of
bis independence. For it is sell
evident that of five million members
of a party every oue cannot have
bis own individual way; every sen
sible man sees, likewise tbat a party
can oDly tben be able to succeed wneu
us members aqu-esce in the reaolu
tious wbicb party or caucus con vea
tions promulgate.
Tbe individual citizen wbo intends
to take part in public affairs muel
join that party wbicb comes Leuresi
his views, and within thu party be
has to be guided by tbe resolutions of
tbe majority. It is true that not
always tba; wbicb i mo-it to be
wished raa be attained ; very often
that which 18 pos.-ible remains fat
far behind our wishes: this is cer
taioly not pleasant, but it cannot be
helped. For, bm we said b-f .re, it is
simply iru possible tbat 5,000 000 of
men Should in alt tbiDgs be of the
sajie t pinion.
As we most at present presume
tbat neither Sherman nor Washburn
will be our standard bearer, we shall
workaib all our miht fir G;aut,
and we hpt tbat tho "indepenaeut"
German U-poblicaos will otitreenaci
ase-coud edition of tbe Tildeo s'.upid
ity by placing their like or ditlik-j
ot certain pesons above the great
question if principle, whether tbe
(wverment shall or shall u ot be turned
over to the ex rebels.
Thore Germans f. r whom Mr
Washburn ii i b-ir ideal of a staiesman
or wbo at least believes him lobeaniau
bo on account of bis ability aud
aud sound judgment, would be most
fit for tbe Presidency, those Germans
will consequently cheerfully vote for
Grant For as Mr. Wasbburue believe
Mr Grant to be tbe best caudidate,
nothing remains to the admirers of
Waehburn than to subscribe to this
cpinioa aod vote that wav. If tbey
dont dotbis.if they declare that Graut
is not good enough fjr tbem, they
declare to Mr Wa.-bburne tbat be
has recommended Ij them a corrupt,
and unfit person and thai, consequent
ly, Wasbourne biuiself nas u j j id
ment.ur that be knowingly recummeu-
ds a bad man. la brief those Ger
mans who are oot satisfied wiih the
ideal of their ideal bring tbemrelvea
into a ridiculous positiou.
As we bave already said, we take
tbiag8 as they are And now as the
question lies only between Grant aud
tSiaine we snail occupy ourselves
first with tbe proapyc; of the f jruisr,
because he appeals to as to be by tar
the more desirable of toe two can
d. dates.
Tbe deleifatea whom Pennsylvania
aud New York send to the Cnica
go Couveutioa are instructed t vote
tor Grant. Add to Oiese 12 votes
the 42 of Illinois, which are sure for
Gian:, and probably the 44 of Ohio.
For it is very unlikely thai Shermau,
af.er Blaiue was indecent euounb to
fight bim in bis own State, sbould
uuite his strength with tbat of his
udecent opponent in order to fibt
GrauL To ihit powerful vote tioui
tbe four principle S'.ates a great many
other S. ales will rally, aud we bbaii
not be astonished ii, finally, ibe oupo
uenia of Grant, wbea ibey see ibe
inutility of a longer fight, will agree
to make the Domination by acclama
tion. In looking calmly over the fi.ld'
the tUrcllou of Grant appears lo be
assured beyond a doubt. Iu 1S72

We wculd like to sav a few wcrds
io regard to tbe objection against a
third term and in regard to the re
proaches which bave betn made Ij
Graut on account of tbe corrup.i jj of
mauy of his officials.
We did never get excited by tbe
fear of a third term; it has always
lef. us quite cool. We cannot see
why the people should not elect a
roan to office three lime.-, if ibey see
fit to do so. Tbe fear that such a man
might asp' re to tbe dictatorship is, iu
view of our small ar civ, indeed, not
free from a comical effect Tbe Amer
icans are too gallant soldiers to be
afraid of such a bugbear. For the
same reason, a buiuess mau should
be afraid to employ a mau longer than
eight years, tor fear he might be
come too poweriul. We would Dot
like to wear theclothes of a man wbo
wonld dare toa.-pire to a dictatorship
over the American people.
As tar as tbe charge of the corrup
tion of many oCicials under Gram
is concerned, it id certainly a just oue.
and we are cot iucliued lo take up, in
ibis case, tbe defence ot tbe tX-Prea-
ideot. But Ij be jutt and equitable,
it must be ad milted tbat corruption
did uot only exist under tbe Grant
regime. Wehtvcbad, for msiauc?,

A .! ' Prayer.
Not long since an o!d gentleman of
Harrison county, K.y., was gathered
to bis fa' hers, afier having attained
tne aire oi seveniy-uve years A Dt-
lce of the old gentleman s deato
was mailed to some old friends in
bis city ajd tbey, of course. Lad a
ureal deal to say about tbe life and
character of their deceased frieuo
fbe circumstauces of the old gentle-
mau's death recalled to their minds
a very remarkable incident ia his ca
reer, atid we bave been fortunate
enough t obtain tbe particulars col-
uected therewith. Tbe truth of the
story we can heartily vouch for, be
cause it comes from a source perfect
ly reliable. We ijive it to show bo
t sometimes happens tbat tbe cur
rent of man's lite is changed in ihe
winkling of an eye, as it were, aad
io illustrate the efficacy of prayer.
Ihe circumstance oi-curred a Let)
he gentleman referred to was com
paratively a young man and com
pletely worldly in tbe truest sense
t ibe word Neither himself n- r
is wife were members of aoy cburcb,
nd op to tbe time meutiDed bad
never given the sorj-et of rt-IigioD
ay serious thought He was a
loperoas farmer, and, as civii war
ad no, desolated ibe land and rhao
d tbe condition ot the "peculiar iu

f sluves. Atnonir ibe nurhbvr was
Ctilored man earned Jacob, who
was knswa to be a very pions man,
and whoee raicd daeit a gntm tieul
on the great iruibs revealed ia the
Biblv, but be bad to conform to tbe
dircipiio wbicb all slaves were sub
jected to ia Ibore- day?, when Lis
master was a man of violent temper
and unreasonable prejudices. One
eveoiojf Jacob came ii Irom work,
and his master beic ia a very ugly
frame mind, oljxeted to som'j'uiog he
bad done, and cbas-ticed biro severe
ly fjr it. Jacob received ibe chi
tisemeut meekly, and went away
without a word ol complaiot ar.d at
tended to his u-nal duties. Tne next
aiuruiug he got op looking very
solemn and troubled in mind, and re
fused to eat bis breakfus. It wa
sucb aa unusual tbio; for bim
to reluse to eat tbat hi- master cou
eluded that be was "eulkioir," and
expressed tbe opioion to fcis wife
that he bad not been severe enough,
with bim tbe tiibt before He there
fore c included to wa'cb Jacob, and
if be saw n,ore s'gL of "suUioesn,"
as he called r, he wool 1 chi-nise him
again. He ate bis breakfast nod
walked out to see what Jacib wss
roiug, but at first could cot find bim.
Finally be weut rej.r tne corncrib, in
tending to throw a few ears of c im
to some calves in tbe lot, aod yii a
be started to open tbe door be beard
a voice, and paused to listen. Tben
be discovered tbat it was Jacob's
voice, and, being curious to know
wbat tbe former bad to say, retnaia
ed motionless). After listeniair to
ot it waa tbat the good Lord would
pardon the high tempered master for
tbe wrong be had done his elave
and tbat He would fill bis Lean with

Then he prayed for Lis uiisiriiJ,
and arttd Gut to forgive ber ai.d
sho-v ber the jjys ol an humble
Cnriatiau life. Not one word did he
uiur fr himiclf, but tbe eud of tis
prayer was: ''Forgive tSeni."
bubsequent eveata proved that Ja
cobs lowly prayer ascended straight
to the Throne cf Almighty God, for
both bis master and bis mistres be
came changed being3 from tbat time
until their death. As soon ad the
prayer was finished tbe master slip
ped away and wandered over bis
farm for hour-", bis heart being dis
to: bed by emotions ii never felt be
fore. Ij the afcernoon be repaired
to tbe bouse, and bis wife wa thun
derstruck at tbe wonderful cbaoge io
bis appearance and tis action-, ttat
bauib-y, overbearing look, peculiar
to himself wa. gone and was replaced
by one of buiiille resignation.
His wife could only ask: "Wil
liaai what on earth has come over
your"
His reply was: "Mary, I bave in
humanly cbsu-td an aDeel, for Ja
cob is surely one of tbem." Then
be told her all, on-i tLj Ucime al

uoted for tbtir Christian virtues.
Wherever they were known, their
upright walk iu life and their noble
cnariLits were suMc-cts of general re
mark, aud they were always pointed
id as living evidences o' the wonder
ful power cf God's redeemiuif grace.
It is hardly neceerury for us U
ay tbat Jacob was never chastised
a.'ttiu. His master often rtai;ked
aiterward tbat to wou!d als.oet as
soa think of striking the Almighty
Himself as Jacob.
Toere was never another reiMsa
deretandini? between Jacob and Lis
master and mintress. Ho would not
receive his freedom, for be sid te
wished to live t,d ti;e ou tbe old
bornesteau.
We ea assure our readrs tbit
this is no fancy fkttch. We bave

us by one who fcuows it to be true,
and whose word Las never been ques-lit-Ucd.
