with evident pleasure. Her friendship :was
so real, that Anuie could not hesitate to .ac

weather hastened Mrs. Raymond's removal
to her cottage at Nahant. • It had been ar

could not be persuaded to go without her,
might have the benefirof the sea breeze and

But "roan proposes and GO dispOses."—
Those pleasant, happy days were not to be.

threatened to shut out all the bright sun

rather seriously. "I was just thinking I
would give her a bath and put her to bed, as
you came in."
The doctor tobk the.Aild into his artns,
and touched her little red cheeks and-quick
pulse.-
"Vroa had better do so at once ; and as she
seems 4everish, I will write a simple recipe
for her. Shall, I find Mrs. Smith. down

He went down in search' of herrhnd aslied
her to come with him-into the parlor.
"1 du not likd to alarin,Miss Carlisle, but

you would send-for me at once, if you have

• In - accordance with this request,. Mrs.

His-''own sorrow was so' egident, that it.
seemed tobring sonic comforeto poor Annie,
but she had not realized how much she clung
'to the faint.hope of improvement.

tion, MF..Bryant concluded, his speeelfii.fol-
lows ,
I have read a letter this very day—a let
ter from a person whose name, ill I were -to
mention it, would carry authority, assurance,
aCquiesence, and conviction upon' all that
'Should' read it—in which he says tall those
negroes who were-made free, who were treat
ed-like freemen, paid wages, allowed to jaro
vide for their families—that they„now work
better,. more to the profit ofthose from whom
they receive wages, and in all respects pre
serve a more respectful department-than ever
before.. He goes on to say that`all planters
say this, anti that if things were. worked
right in LOuisiana, within a year that State
Would take her place among the rfreeStates
cif the Union, with the entire consent- k all
who inhabit within her limits. He goes fur
ther .than this—he says that over all the
South, in every part of the slave States, the
chinage, the transition from absolute and uni-
Venal Slavery to universal and instantaneous
emancipation, might' take place -With even
less of violence and confusion. than a-tax law
could be changed in a Northern State: [Ap
plause.] Such is his testimony—a most valu
able testimony. It seems to me to settle the
question. - Gradual emancipation. Have we
,not suffered mischief enough from — slavery
without keeping it any, longer? Has- net
;blood enough been shed? -are not the pools
'of blood deep enough: - My friends, if your
child' was to fall in the fire would - you pull him
out gradually? [Laughter.] if be were to
take a dose of lateltinuni sufficient to cause a
speedy death, and a stomach ptimp were at
hand, would' you drtiw the poison off by de
grees? If your- house' wore on tire, would
you it out gradually? [Laughter.] And
'yet tfte are men who talk of gradual eman
cipation, by force of ancient habit, and there
are men in the slave states who mak - e of sla
very a sort of idol which they are unwilling
to part with, which, if it must be moved,
they would prefer to see it removed after a
lapse of time and tender leave-takings: Sla
very is-a foul and monstrous idol, a -Jugger
naut under which- thousands of lives are
crushed out Vit is a Moltich for whom the,
children of the land pass through fire. Must:
we consent that the ,number of the victims
shall . be grialually,dithinished? - If there are
a thousand victims this year, are you Willing
that nine hundred should be sacrificed next
year, and eight, hundred , the next, and so on,
-until. after , the lapse of- ten years it:shall
"cease? -No, my friends, let us 'hurl this grim
image from' its pedestal. Down with it to
, the ground. -- Dash it to fragments.. [Cheers.]
Dash. it to fragments; trample it in the dust.
[Applause.] Grind it to powder,-as the Jiro
pliets of old demanded-that the graven ima
ges, of the Hebrew idolators should be ground;
and in that state' scatter it to the4four winds,
and throw it upon the-waters, that no hu
man hand shall ever again gather up the ac
cursed atoms, and mold it into an image to
be ,worshipped,. again, with sacrifices of hu
man life, [Loud. and -prolonged applause.]

How BRAVE MEN SVFVER AND
his report of the Chickamauga• battles, F.
Taylor records- the following , solemn, yet
creditable fact,:
.
w‘ If anybody thinks that when otir men are
stricken upon - the field they fill the• air with
cries and. , greans, till it, shivers with • sueltev
idence of agony, he greatly errs.. An arm ds
shattered, a leg carried away, a bullet piefces
the breast, and the soldier sinks doWn: sil6itly
upon the grottnd; or creeps away, if he can.
without a murmur or complaint ; falls as the
sparrow falls, speechlessly, and like that
sparrow, I earnestly believe falls,not, without
the Father. The dying horse gives out his
fearful utterances of almost hurizan s.uttering,
but the mangled rider is dumb. The 'crash
of musketry, the crack of rifles, , the reavef
guns, the shriek of shells,. the rchcl. whoop,
. the Federal cheer, and that indescribable up
dertone of g rinding, rumbling `splintering
sound, make up the yokes of the battle-field:"
JEFF. DAVIS'- PlA.tros.:---This is- the popu l
lar name given, o the transportation wagons
used for theconveyanee of government stores
from the depots to the railroads., ',These
abominable vehicles, flat bottotned'and rum
bling, are the most perfect ever invented-Lit'
designed to rehd the ear of quiet and7destroy
repose. There is a rendezvous of the pianos
at the corner -of Ninth and, Main streets.
The teams stand about idly, With the' negro
drivers snoring loudly in reposeontil certain
hours Of the day, when -they *eke_ up and
start off like mad, the driVers lashing and
hallooing, and the pianos rattling off, in dif
ferent-directions, with an incessant roar of
'loose bolts, creaking timber, and shaky iron,
bars. The devil plays the piano, and the
public stop their ears ; but there is no rerne
dy.--r-Ridtmond Examiner.
Tan following extract from
,the wife of a s
staff officer to Gen. Rosecrilias, !Inds to'refute
certain derogatory statements which have
gained currency in some quarters:
The, General was in command of. the:'ar
my during the whole engagement, and in so
much danger, when the centre of our army
gave way, that he was lost to the laraer-imr
lion of lii staff from 2 o'clock on Sunday un
til Monday morning, and it Nvaa feared by
many of his staff officers that he. was cap.tur 4
ed. I write this because of the' report it

the Western journals, that he was not in_
