BABY ON THE PORCH.
Out on the porch, by the open door.
Sweet with rosea, and roul with shade,
Baby is creeping over the floor
Dear little winsome blue-yed maid !
All about her the shadows dance,
All about her the r 'S swing,
Sunbiams in the lattice glance,
Robins up in the branches sing.
Up at trie blossoms her fingers reach.
Limping her pleading in broken words,
C oing away in her ttnder speech,
Song like the twitter of nestling birds.
Creeping, creeping over the floor,
Soon my birdie will find her wings.
Fluttering out at the open door,
Into the wonderlul world of things.
Bloom of roses and balm of dew,
Brooks that bubble and w inds that call,
AH things lovely, and glad, and new,
And the Father watching us over it all.
A Dutch Philopene.
I can't help it so I will tell you the tale
as it wa3 told me. It wa3, it is simply a
simple tale, and tells of the mistakes of
life as 'twere. The Germans tell their
troubles to me as chloroform is poured
on a handkerchief to relieve the patient.
One flay while standing patting the
neck of Kitty, my running mare, an hon
est Teuton who has seen service in the
war came up and said :
'Ah, mynheer lJumroy, you here?"
Yaw, mynheer Schwipes, I hear ?"
"S-o-o ! You busy dis morning?"
"No, Jacob, I am never busy, unless
when I am busy."
''Well den, mynheer Humroy, you
shust make tie that horse loose so he can
make herself in der yard a leelles und I
sits down on mine mine I mean j'our
saw horse und dells yon some dings."
We sat. Then said the man :
"Now yoo see, Mr. liumroy, I n
makes myself like the way you talk about
ray gousins, Snicksnackcr. I Ie pe so goot
man as ever pe's anyveres. He shust like
me. He goes to ter wars. I go to ter
wars. I goom to dis free country to help
live here. Und ven de war gooms I
shoulder my life und mine trummell, und
I goes out to get rigroots. Lrnd I got em.
Und I sends cm off to der war. Und
purty soon, bineby, ven tie pig pounties
gets so pig as a whole hog, Mr. liumroy,
I kiss mine vrow und dakes ten Iiundert
tallcrs pounties unt I go to ter war. Und
I tell my vrow she no makes vater mit
her eyes, for I go long mit Sheneral Shirts
und of course I coornes back. Yeu see
Mr. lJumroy, I knows who to go mit. I
would go mit Seigel, but Seigel gets his
back up too much, und is not careful who
be don't fight mit. Und I would go mit
Eutler, but my share of de silbcr would
be sherman silber, unt dat ish not so goot.
So I goes mit Shirts, for he never gets
hurt in any country, und I know rcre
Shirts is that is vot you call vere you put
money safe.
Veil, I gets mine pounties, so have
Eome tings to nay taxes mit till I makes
dead, then J go as a gorporal mit Shirts,
und I goes to der war, und I do shust like
odder fellers I sees tings und I makes
monisli und I goom borne shust so goot
as I went away, Mr. lJumroy. Und I
gets welcomed back so goot. Mincn
vrow t-hc bees so glad to see me as never
vas. Und she looks she always did.
Und ter folks were so glad to see me. I
goes down to get some higcr peer, und ven
I goes home Deacon Green is at mine
house to sec me. Lnd I goes out mit
Deacon Green to show him home, und
ven I goomes pack Deacon Urown is dere
to see me und tell me he is glad I make
myself goom pack, und I go to l3 bolite
to Deacon lirown und show him home,
und when I goom back, I find der bost
master at mine house to see me. Und
when I gets pack, der is der dax collector
to see me, und I asks him how much I
must pay him, und I asks him how much
I must bay him, und he says, "Oh, noth
ing Jo seein' it's you !' So I goes see
see to him home, und den makes myself
goom home to shleep, so nice as never vas.
"Und every night when I gomea home
I vind some of dese goot, batriotic men,
who have done so much for dere guntry
at my houso to see me. Und, Mr. lium
roy, one night when I goes home I hears
a noise in mine pet-room. Und I galls for
mine yrow, und she no hear me, so I go
in und find her asleep. Unt I finds a nice
pair of boots in ter bet-room, shust worn
so much as dcy will no hurt my feet, und
I makes my head go unter der window to
see who makes noise, und I see one of
dese batriotic men "who geeps der gopper
hcads away from mine vrow while I be
gone from der wars, chasing a horse into
der woods. Oh Mr. Bumroy, I tell you
'tis nice to go to be a soldier man, und to
goom home, und den to find such goot
friends among such goot men, and to
have such men give me nice Dutch I'Lilo-beiies.
"John" The Next Social Problem.
A San Francisco correspondent, wri
ting on the subject of emigration to the
1 State of California, thinks that the next
j great social problem will bo the status of
j the Chinese. In a few'hionths or years
Ire will cross the Locky Mountains, and
begin to fill up the valley of the Mississ
ippi. As soon as the Pacific Railroad is
completed, the path will be open to him.
Millions can still be accommodated in the
mines on the Pacific coast, but the South
with its fields of cotton, rice and sugar,
is the proper place for them, and as she
is now prostrated by the ravages of war
and the effects of famine, they are needed
to recuperate her exhausted energies.
Soon the "negro question" will be lost in
the "Chinese question," and then will
come the perplexing problems of his sta
tus in the community, his contracts and
privileges. On the 1st of January, 1SC7,
the Colorado; the pioneer of a new line
between San Francisco and China, will
commence her trips, and every arrival
will bring from 1,000 to 1,500 to lhat
port. Capitalists are already discussing
the questions of contracting with Chinese
companies for an immense number of them
to cultivate the cotton-fields of the South
for a term of ycr.rs, at a much cheaper
rate than negro labor can be obtained.
Soon the rivalry between the Chinaman
and the negro will commence.
War has broke out in Europe. Prus
sia and a number of the minor German
States have seceded from the Germanic
Confederation. The trouble seems to be
pretty much the same that was at the bot
tom of the late civil war in this country.
Prussia complains that Austria has had
too much power in the Federal Diet and
she has undertaken to set herself right,
by the strong hand. The Prussian Gov
ernment commenced hostilities by march
ing their armies into Saxony and Hanover,
and afterwards occupying liohemia Siles
ia. They have the advantage of choosing
their own battle ground, and in strikins
early have secured themselves a good po
sition, besides blotting out of the map of
Europe the principalities of Hanover and
S axony. Several severe battles have been
fought between the Prussians and Aus
trians, in which both sides claim to be
victorious, the last one of which (at Skal-
icz) was very bloody, though not decisive.
Italy, also, has declared war against Aus
tria. A battle has been fought at Cus
tozza, within the historical Quadrilateral,
between the forces of King Victor Em
manuel, of Italy, and the Austrians, in
which the latter were victorious. The
Italians retreated across the Mincio, sus
taining a loss of nine thousand men.
llciipord Gazette.
There are 58,300 Chinese in Califor
nia, one-fourth of whom are employed on
the Pacific Kailroad. They are repre
sented as industrious, skillful, law-abiding
and thriving; but, being of too light col
or and too near the similitude of the white
race, they, like the Indians, (or Aborigin
als, do not come in for a share in the ben
efits of civil rights and "manhood sulTrrge,"
as demanded for negroes by the Stevens-Forney-Geary
politicians. According to
the statement(!) of that school, low Chow
and Big Feather can't be compared as
men with Geary's colored brother Thom
as Jelferson Cesar Hannibal Jonsing.
A Ghost Shot. A man living at a
village near Mobile attempted to frighten
soma girls by wrapping a white cloth
around his body, and personating a ghost.
All ran but one, who pulled out a revol
ver and fired six balls into the head and
body. At the first shot the ghost fell,
but she continued firing. She then went
home and related the circumstances, and
parties returning to the spot found life com
pletely extinct, two balls having penetra
ted the forhead, and tho other four the
region of the back.
Stanton does not intend to resign his
comfortable position in the "War Office,"
but is patiently wailing until the President
tells him to leave. He is not the first
man who, when his room was more de
sirable than his company, preferred being
kicked down stairs to making his exit in
the usual quiet way. Ctaeun a son gout
Frightful. At Savannah, on the
10th, a man was found dead on the levee,
with one hundred and ten stabs in his
body. His ears were cut off, both eyes
torn out, and the body was otherwise
frightfully mutilated. The case is involv
ed in much mystery. The lxdy is not
yet identified.
Scene on the Floor of Congress.
The Washington correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle thus graphically des
cribes the reading of President Johnson's
late message on the Constitutional Amend
ment, in the House of Representatives :
I chanced to be present in the galleries
of the House of Representatives when the
message was received and read. Words
can scarcely convey any adequate idea of
the rago and dismay of the leaders of the
House as sentence after sentence of the
Executive rebuke came pealing upon them
in the sonorous terms of the Heading
Clerk, piercing their sophistries as round
shot tears through the ranks of an ill-dis-
ciplined battalion. It was plain enough
to any observer that they felt the crush
ing weight of the President's objections so
tersely, and yet so courteously presented.
They knew, as the last words, "Signed,
I Andrew Johnson," rung in their ears, that
they sounded the death knell of the amend
ment. It was exceedingly amusing to
hear the malignant utterances of the bit
terest of the enemies of the President, in
commenting among themselves upon the
style in which, unasked, he bad entered
into their game and Oelivered checkmate.
Says one, "It amounts to this, that Andy
Johnson isn't willing to recognize the va
lidity of any act we may pas3 until the
rebtl traitors are admitted among us to
legislate for the loyal people of the coun
try !" Anothct opined ibat "the next
thing we shall see will be the rebel repre
sentatives escorted to their" 'vacant seats'
by Presidential ba3ronets !" These are
fair specimens of the familiar comments
of the Radicals upon the message. Put
most provoking of all to their ears was
the cool, business like style in which the
President condescends to "waive the ques
tion as to the constitutional validity of the
proceedings of Congress." That, t!iey
think was the unkindest cut of irl.
We meet but few people who do not
claim to be Union men, but do they ever
reflect upon the question, What constitutes
(i Union Man ? Let every citizen ask
himself the question, Am I a Union man
if I oppose the return of the seceded States
to the Union ; if I strive to prolong the
dissolution which through the action of
Congress, now exists , if I refuse to as
sist in reconciling the people of the es
tranged sections ; if I vote for men who
hold that the Southern States are out of
tho Union and thus acknowledge Secess
ion an accomplished fact ? I low can one
be a Ui 'on man, if he be opposed to the
return of the seceded State?, if he favor
the prolongation of dissolution, if lie re
fuse to assist in reconciling the people of
the Xoi th and South, if he vote for men
who declare that the South is out of the
Union by virtue of secession ? Yet such
is the man who endorses the present lead
ers and platforms of the so-called Repub
lican party. Hetljord Gazette.
General Sherman. In a recent
speech at New Haven talked very plainly.
He told the crowd gathered to receive him,
that the people of New England had been
too hard on the South and were too strong
in their predjudices, but p Lilians they
were not responsible for it, as they have
been so educated. lie was for the whole
country, North and South alike, and he
was willing to forget and forgive all past
differences. These sentiments are those
of nine-tenths of the gallant men who
did the lighting during the war. The
Radicals, who staid at home, are the men
in favor of extermination.
A young gentleman, a member of our
college, was expelled for the crime of
drawing young ladies up to his room by
means 01 a basket from his window. Of
course a great deal of gossiping conver .
tion was the consequence. The following
colloquy occurred between two ladies :
"Jane, do you believe that students
draw girls to their rooms ?"
"Certainly, my dear; more than that, I
know they do."
"How ?"
"Well, I was going to the college one
morning it was just before light and I
heard a noise in the direction of the col
lege buildings. I looked that way, and
as I sec you now I saw a girl in a basket
about half way from a third sloy win
dow to the ground, and just then the rope
broke, and down I came !

lSEAcm i'L Extract. The loved ones
whose loss I lament are still in existence ;
they are living with me at this very time ;
they are like myself, dwelling in the great
parental mansion of God , they still be
long to me as I to them. As they are
ever in my thoughts, so, perhaps, am I in
theirs. As I mourn for their loss, per
hapjs they rejoice in anticipation of our
re-union. What to ma is still dark, they
see clearly. Why uo I grieve because I
can no longer enjoy their pleasant society ?
During their lifetime I was not discon
: nted because I could not always have
them around me. If a journey took them
from me, I wa3 not therefore unhappy.
And why is it different now ? They have
! fttme on a journey. Whether they arc
living on earth in a lar distant city, or in
some higher world in the infinite universe
of God, what difference is there? Arc
we not still in the same boue of our Fa
ther, like loving brothers who inhabit sep
arate rooms? Have we, therefore, ceased
to be brothers?
Coun teri'eit Ten Dollar Notes. For
the benefit of the public we give the fol
lowing description of the new ten dollar
counterfeit note on the National Banks :
"Figure of Libei :y on an eagle upon right
end, Franklin and boy on left. The sig
nal nr.. are engraved in the counterfeit,
and in the genuine they arc written. The"
lightning, grasped by the hand of Liberty,
is barely perceptable in the genuine while
in the counterfeit it is broadly defined on
a dark, coarse buck ground, which in the,
rcnukie is light. The general appearance
fair, but is very coarse on examination.
On the back of the note the followers of
De Soto appear mixed up, while in the
foreground, that which is designated for a
priest, bears the exact image of a monkey.
These notes miy be altered to repre.-ent
any National Bank."
C3T A Falher came home from his bus
iness at early evening, and took his little
girl upon his knee. After a few dove
like caresses, she crept to Lis bo-orn anl
fell asleep, lie ciriie j her himself to 1. :
chamber, and said, "Nellie would not like
to go to bed and not say her prayers.'
Half opening her large blue eyes, she
dreamily articulated,
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
1 pray the fjord "
then adding, in a sweet murmur, "He
knows the rest," she sank on her pillow,
in His watchful care who "givcth his be
loved sleep."
The New York Time, always a lead
ing "Republican" paper, declares that its
party is divided and that unless something
be speedily done to re-unite the factions,
it must inevitably be defeated. To use
its own language. "The Union parly is
divided so divided and distracted that
its defeat will be inevitable, unlcps some
thing bo meanwhile done to determine au
thoritatively its course on the question of
restoration, its conditions and consequen
ces." The breach is open ! Lei Demo
crats charge the broken lines of the ene
my and success will be certain.
Cl-IEERECL OeEIUENCE, "I wish I
could mind God as my dog minds me,"
said a little boy, looking thoughtfully on
his shaggy friend ; "he always looks so
pleaded to mind and I don't." What a
painful truth did this child ? Shall the
poor little dog thus readily obey Lis mas
ter, and we rebel against God, who is our
Creator, our Preserver, our Father, our
Saviour, and the bountiful Giver of every
thing we have ?
Eki ectual Prayer. Do not say you
cannot pny, because you cannot speak
much, or well, or long. Prayer is wrest
ling with God; the heart is the wrestler;
holy faith is the strength of it; if by means
cf this strength thy heart be a good wrest
ler, though thou art ever so tongue-tied,
thou wilt be a prevailer. Rhetoric goes
for little in the heavenly court, but sincere
