THE HAVE-.WRICAN RACE.:
'Twas by the wayside, near a Southern town,
I spied a sago beneath a tree reclining;
His old straw hat was guiltless of a crown,
Ills pantaloons bad less of cloth than lining.
Addressing about tha latest limit,:
quickly found him, by his salutation,
A man of boundless and erroneous views, . • -
And yast and various misinformation.
"I reckon yotVre , a Yankee, come," said he,'
" Upon some sneaking mission or another,
To sec how being Equalized and Free
4gre.es3vith him,you call your Colored Brother.
EXTINCTION waitson - I;im;'witit *all his Bights,
So freely given by alt your laws confounded ! .
He'll keep attnekkno the defenceless )vhit,es„
• Till all the colored' race are killed or wounded.
"In New Orlean—behold the lesson taught!
When in convention certain blacks assemblcd 4
A sound of peaceful throngs outside was caught )
And in thelialhi the blacks bloodthirsty Ireml
bled. -
Then.through the windows, lobbies, outei.gitio,
1,4 the unarmed Caucasian race surrounded,
The Freedmen sailed in in their murderous hate,
And nineteen colored men were badly wouhdcd.
"In Central Georgia, several months ago,
The sons of Africa held a Loyal meeting,.;
And divers White Men went to seo the show '
And give the rpeaker l friendly Southern greet
ing,
-But lo !;.when;spealcers Lagone on a spell,
. And all thUairwith loyal words resounded,
Upon the helplcs,v Whites the negroes fell,
And thirteen colored me» were badly wounded.
"In old thrginia,•at a rural place,
Where many Afi leans had come for voting,
The merest handful of the higher Race
Wei o looking ou, and minor matters noting;
When at a cry about some vote refused,
.Tho blacks infuriate on the Handful bounded,
Theiricnives and'pistols mercilessly used,
And fourteen colored men were badly wounded.
"So at the Capital of all the States— •
Your boasted Washington, tho placid city,
Theme was, in journals of the proper dates,.
Correct reports of what should move your pity ;
The town election rallied countless blacks,
Who, armed and maddened, and teiriot bOund

Make OH the unresisting Whites tittacs„
And fifteen colored men were badly- rounded.

Where Stokes ryas beaten at the pulls by Sen

To vent some petty diabolical spite,
Upon the plea of some vague charge unfounded,
They turned in fury on a single White,
And sixteen colored men were badly wounded.

Miss Ellswpith was not a dirt, who
distributed her ideals among many . gen-

Only the evening before, theie . .taliChad
hdrdw n itself filiM the general topic
to whicli each had been congenial, and
in her admiration of his intelligence
,hod manliness , she had encouraged an
approach to that personal sort of :con

rimony. • •
And now to find Mr. Mainwoll this
morning, with his coat °Wand a smith's
apron on, engaged in mending a rock I.
Ile was doing it, publicly. The JO'clt
was on the door that led to the niitldle
of (lie front piazza where the •fashlon
alde holies and gentlenu were sitting
or iwomenading.
His back was towards her as she ap
proached, leaning on the arm of her
friend 'Anna West. She redog,nized
him', lonised intently at him, gave; her
companion over to a party nl' young la
dies near, and then st?pped.and sPolse,
to him'.
'Do yeti like that sort' of work; 'Mr;

'I do Miss Ellsworth. 1 believe I atii

, It appears very odd to see you doing,this.'

from his work and turning to her.
Her cheek blanched a little

proprietor sitid the lock needed mend

The party of girls came along jus
then. After wondering at Mr. Main
well awhile, and laughing at hint, the
proposed a ride;.
. . . .
There were three carriages for. them.
all. These would take the party.
Ned Whi!taker here joined them;
What the duce are you about hero?'
lie exclaimed to Mr. Mailmen. Alf, )
he'added, whch the latter turned :and
glanced at him, "But while you: are
here you might as well enjoy yourself.'
Mr. Mainwelt excused himself from
joining the party, and they went :May,
leaving him to finish his work.
D.liss7l4.lllsyinrtn left him without 'any
wortrat parting.
' Tt is well,' he muttered to hiniself.
'lf she cannot take me as .1 am,' she
,is
not worthy of me. The woman thlt'
marries me must take me for"myself.'.
lie stood and looked after her until
she had disappeared. She did not once
turn to look hack. , '
Ilegiive his shoulders a shrug, corn- .
pressed' his Up, uttered a ,cynical
'humph" and turned to finish his werlc:'
' Let it be so,' he muttered, when he
was . through and was putting on his
coat. 'I thought perhaps that I had
found a woman after my own heart.
Amidst this world of wealth and fash
ion, she too, has lost her soul. Let her
go.'
lie avoided her thereafter. He did
not seek to catch her eye for a bow of
reeognitiOn: ,When she entered a draw
ing room where he was, he would go
out by another way. ltut he was more
than ever in the company of Ned Whit
taker. 'Ned, in passing to and from be
tween .111iPs Ellsworth and him, served
atilt as a EOUL of link between- them.
'You are a cynical fellow.' said Ned,
9be duy. , 'Why don't you take the'
reotile as they are? You will find good
enough in them,"
But they ‘von't, take me as 1 ,am.
Platt is the trouble.'
' 4 Pooh Von soe yourself that she
allows no oilier suitors to accompany
her. Don't you see she 'is alone or with
the other girls the most of the time?'
' Her heart is ,full-of vanity.'
"'slm ! ;She is trained to luxurious
notions, that's all.'
Mainwelp trunk was awaiting him
.
andthe'Atage, outside on the piazza, at
the time this conversation was going on.
On'the trunk,were_his_G.. M.
Miss Pdh3worth, on. passing thikt way,
saw the initials—not by chance, for she
had been very busy scrutinizing the
trunks that lay together on a pile—and
when she saw, the initials she started
and, turned' pale. -She recovered her
self, and withdrew:with her companion
a little way, and :then stood stilt and
watched. Presently Mr. Mainwell came
out with Ned upon the piazza. He
chanced to: cast his: eyes toward her,

'Do not say anything more about it.
I am willing to leave all for, your sake.
I ant weary of being without you.'
Would you be willing to become my
wife this. day, this hour? Your father
and mother might otherwise put obsta

' Lam willing—this hour, this minute.'
"They do not allow of my position in

They still think you are wealthy—as
I did.'
` Conic, then, wo go our 'vay

take the cars for the borne I have for

will make you happy.'
` Whither you go I will go.'
They were married in a quiet way in
the little watering place chapel, with
the wicked Ned conniving at the mis
chief. Thq next train sped with them to
the city.
'I will show you the shop where I
work.' said Mr. Mainwell, when the
carriage they took at the depot in the
city had drawn up before a locg block

So there wag a little family quarrel
on the spot.
' Now invite your father and nibther

after the clouds had cleared away, some

she replied, ".1 will. But
first you must go with me to see them

' Whero the duce arc you taking me'
asked Mai n well, looking sharply at his
wife.'
Come and see,' was her reply, as she
proteeded to step from the carriage.
Here, wait,' he exclaimed after his
hesitancy ; "let me get out first and
help you out. What does this mean
` Follow me,' was her reply.
She led hi m u p stairs—up; up, through
throngs, and dirt, and smells; to the
fourth story. Here she opened • a door
without knocking, and the two entered.
The woman was dressed neatly, and so
were the children, but they were all
dressed very poorly, in keeping with
the place. The man was clad very
carelessly, and even more poorly. On
his head ho kept his hat, which certain
ly was full half a dozen years old.
My husband, Mr. Mailmen ; my
father and mother, brothers and sisters,'
said Mrs. Mainwell, introthiging all
parties.
Mr. Mainwell stood and stared tvith
out speaking.
`Ask their pardon, George,' said Mrs.
Mainwell, 'for running away with me.'
' Who are they ?'
Have J not told you : didn't I in

All this a milliner may be, or

need is dress.'
Mainwell lifted his fist and dashed it
through the air. He ground his teeth,
and turning away, left the room, slam
ming the door violently behind him.
His wife took off her hat and cloak
and furs, and flung herself down at the
table and burled her face in her hand
kerchief.
The door opened again, and Mainwell
Put in his head.
' You have deceived me,' he said, 'but

She sprung to her feet and confron

'Your wife, and aad doomed, to live

sir; you May go. I will not live a wife
unloved for myself—you must take me
thus or I will stay. Still I can work.'
He closed the door and retired down
the stairs to the street, clenching his
hands and his teeth as ho went.
The horrid disgrace of It," he mut
tered. 'The derision that will be my
lot. And then to marry such a girl!'
But at the street door he tarried. Ho
had a struggle with himself there all
alone. Suddenly he turnedUnd dashed
impetuously up stairs, flung open the
door of the room, seized his wife in his

'My wife,' he whiaperod in' her ear.
'Such you are and ever shall be before

' Now I begin to think that you do

!You do love me? You really.think you

He clasped her more tightly to him.
'Come then,' she said, 'though of such

should not feel 'ashamed-- , yet they are
not my parents, but have only played a
part in which 1 have instructed them.

And he did shake hands with them,
and what is more, he helped them.
A merry party was gathered that
evening at Mainwell's house, a party

A Starry World on Fire.
(Sit the 12th of May, 1866, a great con
flagration, infinitely larger than that of
London or Moscow, 'was announced.
To use the expression of a distinguished
astronomer, a world was found to be on
tire. K star, which till then shone
meekly and unobtrusively in the Coro
na Borealis, suddenly blazed up into a
luminary of the second magnitude. In
the course of three days from its dis
covery in this new character by Mr.
Birmingham, at Tuam, it had declined
to the third or even fourth order of
brilliancy. In twelve days, dating
from its first apparation in the Irish
heavens, it had sunk to the eighth rank,
and it went on waning until the 26th of
June, when it ceased to be.discernible
exceptlhrouglithe medium of the tel
escope. This lwas a remarkable, though
certainly not an unprecedented, pro
ceeding on the part of a star; but one
singular circumstance in its 'behaviour
was that, after the lapse of nearly twin
months- it began to blaze up again
'houghinot with equal ardor, and, after
tnina, itc: glow for a few weoks

How many years had clap
this awful conflagration actually too
place it would be presumptuous to guess,
but it:must be remembered - that news
from the heavens, though carried by
the fleetest of messengers, light, reach
long after the event has transpired, and
that the same celestial courier is still
dropping the tidings at each , station it
reaches in space, until it sinks exhaust
ed by the length of its flight. Now,
when this object was examined, as it
was promptly and eagerly by Prof. Mil
ler and Mr. Huggins, they found, to
their great wonder, that it yielded two
spectra—one imposed upon the other,
though obviously independent. There
was the prismatic ribbon crossed by,
dark lines, which belongs to the sun
and stars generally, but there' was ano
ther to which font' bright lines figured,
and these indicated that some luminous
gas (or gases) was also pouring out its
light from the surface of the orb.
Two of these lines spelled out hydro
gen in the spectral language. What
the other two signified did not then ap
pear; hut, inasmuch as those four
streaks were brighter than the rest of
the spectrum, the source front which
they came must obviously have been
more intensely heated than the under
lying parts, or photosphere, from which
the normal stellar light proceeded ; and
as the star had suddenly flurried up, was
it not a natural supposition, that it had
become enwrapped in burning hydro
gen, which, in consequence of some
great convulsion, had been liberated in
Prodigious quantities, and thbli; com
bining with other elements, . had set
this helpless world on fire? In such a
fierce conflagration.the combustible gas
would soon be consumed, and the glow
would, therefore, begin,to decline, sub
ject, as in this case, to 'a second erup
tion, which occasioned the renewed

fly such a catastrophe it is not wholly
impossible that, our own globe may
sometime he ravaged, for, if a word
from the Almighty were to unloose for
a few moments the bonds of affinity
which unite the elements of - water—of
the ocean on the land and the moisture
of the air—a single spark would bring
them together with a fury which would
kindle the funeral pyre of the human
race, and be fatal to the planet and all the
works that are therein. It cannot but
be a startling fact for us that in yonder
doomed and distant world we have,
probably, seen in our own day a realiz
ation of the fearful picture sketched
by Peter, " when The heavens (or at
mosphere) being on fire shall be dis
solved, and the elements shall melt
with fervent-heat." And, if we regard
it as the centre of a system, it is impos
sible to think without horror of the fate
of the numerous globes around it when
overwhelmed by this sudden 'deluge of
light and caloric.—British Quarterly

THINK Or IT!
There are, in round numbers, 620,000
legal voters in the State of Pennsylva
nia, 320,000 of whom - are Republican ;
giVing a clear majority of 20,000 Repub
lican, on afull vote.
With all thii4 advantage on our side
in 1867, Jud e Sharswood was elected—
fraudulent] we admit—by a majority
of 022.
The elec ion of 1868 conclusively
proved that had Tioga and Bradford
counties polled their entire vote in 1867,
Judge Williams would have been elect
ed by 1000 majority, in spite of the
coffee-colored naturalization papers
used in the strong Copperhead counties.
You may say the blame may as well
be laid upon Lancaster, or Erie, or
Crawford county Republicans as upon
Tioga and Bradford. True ; but we do
not live, work, and vote for those re
mote counties ; and the only efficient
working that we know of begins and
goes on in one's own neighborhood.
For the neglects and shortcomings of
Erie, Craw ford,. or Lancaster! Republi
cans no man in Tioga county is respon
sible. For our own shortcomings and
criminal neglects none but ourselves
can be responsible.
We are now hooked for another strug
gle with the same power which sad
dled the nation with a four year's war
and a heavy burden of debt, and is now
nerving its forces to- rule or ruin. The
result at the polls on the 12th day of
next month will go far toward deciding
whether the Republicans Of Pennsyl
vania aro capable of such devotion to
;.‘4 warrants a reasonable hope
for the success of free institutions.

It is for every - Republican to'say who

it be Geary, who, in peace and war has
an unimpeachable record for patriotism ;
who won laurels in Mexico, honors in
California and in Kansas,•and imper
ishable glory ifs his sacrifice§ for the
Union during the war of the rebellion?
Or shall it be Packer, who`was nomi

battle-fields; win) has never shown
even average ability' in civil position?
Geary offered not only- himself, hut
his only son upon the altar of, his
country. That son was shot to death
nt his father's . side, and by rebel bul
lets. 'not neither Asa Packer, nor any
of his sons, shouldered a musket or
drew a sword in behalf of the imperil
ed Union.
Under Geary's administration the
State debt has steadily decreased. ;This
debt was created—nearly every dollar
of it—under Democratic rule. Under
that rule every acre of land was taxed
and money poured into the . Treasury
only to enrich a 'gang'of . plunderers.
Under Cleary's rule taxation •of real es
tate for State purposes has ceased, and
the burden of taxation has been light
ened ore than a-million of dollars.
A vote for Geary, then, is a vote for
economy in public affairs. And a vote
for Packer is a, vote of censure upon the
present Oovernor for the sacrifices he
made for the Union, as well as for the
economy which has distinguished his
administration.
But there are still more important
considerations than any of these relat
ing to finance. The man who forced
rebellion into the last ditch hand receiv
ed the surrender of its broke l n legions,
stands at the nation's head. DUring
six months rule the national ( debt has
been decreased about $50,000,000.. If

did he devote to the aid of the Govern
meld, to whose protection he owed and
owes every dollar of his twenty mil
lions? This qiiestion,.put by the Re
publican papers of the state, hits yet to
be answered. And thus it becomes
plain that net a dollar of Packer's
money went to prop the nation's credit
assailed' by enemies in front, Coppbr
heads in the rear, and the despots of
Europe on the flanks.

THE SOLAR MUTABILITY.
We now know that our own sun (re
sembling in this probably most other
solar bodies of the same kind) is in so
highly fluid and excitable a" condition,
as to be constantly sending out from its
surface forked tongues (thousands of
miles in extent) of inflamed hydrogen
gas, like the flickering streams of light
from the stars of a street illumination ;
and, moreover, :is to be 'subject to great
periodic:4 disturbances, now called
" magnetic storms," which are in all
probability caused by certain combina
tions in the m'ovenients of those little
solid bodies, on one of which we live,
round the sun. Even now, one such
epoch of magnetic, storms seems to be
thought pretty near at hand. The sun
has been lately exhibiting the most sur
prising forms of disturbance, and pre
senting to scientific eyes less ",fixity"
of essence than ever. Spots so vast
that we must estimate their dimensions
by millions of square miles havebroken
out from time to time, and have pre
sented rapid changes of figure, indicat
ing the action of forces of inconceivable
intensity. Clusters of smaller spots,
extending over yet vaster areas, have
exhibited• every form of disturbance
known to the solar physicist, and ev
ery degree of light, from the apparent
blackness (in reality only relative) of
the nuclei, to the intense brilliancy of
the faculous ridges. And we now know
that these appearances are not merely
matters for the curious, with which, as
they happelk at a distance of above
-ninety millions of miles, practical men
need not concern themselves. In point
of faet, it is by no means impossible
that the issues of peace• or war, of a-fi
nancial crisis, or a religious agitation,
may be closely bound up with kliese
phenomena, if not, indeed—whieh is
also quite pOssible—the sudden disap
pearance of our whole system;after the

least, is certain, that the vast changes
now going on in the physical constitu
tion of the sun turd changes \Odell do
most powerfully affect the electric./ con
dition of our earth, which have in for
mer years caused the inost'violent dis
turbances in the various artificial as
well as nut electric apparatus of the
world we live in, and which, to speak
of the least of all its possible °fleets,
might., just as well as not, happen some
day to throw ,the electric condition of
every telegraphic cable on our planet,
under the sea or above it, into the Most
dire confusion, and send down tele
graphic companies' shares to zero in a
lump, even if they did not contrive to
telegraph to us, after some strange in
articulate fashion, that shares in all
public companies, even in that very
limited public company, the humim
race, are, in a physical point, of view,
of very doubtful value indeed. Let us
explain brielly , to what we allude.
On September 1, 1650, shortly befor6
noon,-two astronomers—iNfessrs. Hodgr
son and Carrington—one at Oxford, the
other in London, - were at the same in
stant scrutinizing a large group of sun
spots. On a sudden, two intensely
bright patchesof light appeared in front
of the cluster.. So brilliant were they
that the observers thought the darken
ing screens attached to thefr telescopes
must have become ractured. But this
wag found not to be the cage. The
bright spots indicat d some process go
ing on upon the sun's surface—La pro
',CO :3s of such activity that within live
minutes the spots travelled Over a space
'Of nearly 34,000 miles. Now, at the
hCety Observatory there are self-regis
tering, magnetic instruments whtcli. in
dicate the processes of change by which
the subtle influences of terrestrial mag
netism wax and wane. At ono time
the line traced by the pointer will be
11i ilted by scarcely preventible undu
lations, indicating the almost quiescent
state of the great-terrestrial magnet.—
At another, well-Marked waves along
the line exhibit the pulsations of the
magnetic system, influenced in a marin
er as yet unintelligible to the physicist.
And there is a third form of disturb
ance, the sharp, sudden jerks of the
pointer exhibitibg the occurrence of
those mysterious phenomena termed
"magnetic storms." When the rec
ords of the Kew Observatory came to
be looked over, it was foblid that at the
very instant in tvhieh , the
spots of light had appetite(' to Messrs
Hodgson ;Anil Carrington; the self-reg
istering instruments had been subjec
ted to thel third and mdst significant
form of di4thrbanee—a 'magnetic storm
began, in fact, as the light broke out on
the sun's surface. But this was not the
only evidenee of the sympathy with
which the earth responded to the solar
action. It was subsequently found that
soon after the spots of light had ap
peared the whole frame of the earth
had thrilled under a Mysterions mag
netic iSilluence. At the West-IndieS'in
South America, in Au'stralbi,wherever

ident that these phenomena show the
most intimate. relation', between these
peculiar disturbances in the - sun and
'the magnetic currents ofi our own earth.
Directly one of these changes takes
place upwards of ninety' millions of
miles away, the electric condition of ~
our planet is changed in some mysteri

even the condition Of our sky, bear rec

indudtriously disposing of a sumptuous
matutinal repast of corn coffee, ditto ,
bread, cow peas, dried apples, and di
minutive sweet potatoes, We entered the
office room, where some eight or ten
natives were gathered around the • fire,
munching gougers and discussing the
capacity of "rom mons'ous big
taro kiln,' when a boy, by no means at
tractive looking, a bow-legged, thick
lipped nigger, with diStended eyes and
mouth, entered, bearing something at
arm's length, on a handled shovel,
which he threw upon the floor, ner
vously exclaiming at the same time,
' Bress God, mass'r, jes look dat king :
I ketched it in d'roorn where dat strange

In an instant every chair was vacated,

a long pole. With surprising agility
for North Carolinians, they leaped up
on chairs, and forthwith began to tort

Our commiseration being aroused by
the relentless persecution of the poor
reptile, we mildly suggested that we
thought that.it could be subdued by the
power of mesmerism, and requested
thec, natives to desist eona few moments
until, e could try the experiment.
(,Whereupon every Man stood crecil.in

style, to a shoulder arms with his long

And we folded our arms, assumed 'an
attitude not unlike that of the shade of
Napoleon over the sepulchre of St Hel

intruder. Then making diverse gyra

for sawing block matches, we suddenly
rushed upon - the reptile, seized it by
the rudal extremity, .deposited it in our

COULDN'T SHAKE HER OFF.—A Man
designated as M—, deserted his wife,
went back to Athens county, Ohio,
where they had lived several years be
fore, and hired out as a farm hand.
From there the wife received a letter in
June last, announcing his death, and
stating that he died so poor that he had
to be buried by his friends. She, there
fore, set about preparing for a Journey
to the grave of her husbvid, with a view
of marking thwspov' by a" tombstone.
Arriving last Friday week, clothed in
mourning at tiro house from which the
news was H eat, she asked a young lady
at the door if that was where Mr. M—
died, a nd was somewhat astonished and
d e lighted to have answer that he was
o ut in the wheat field alive :and well.
''Why, he's my husband Pt said the
overjoyed wife. This seemed to stag
ger the young lady, and the wife was
astounded finally to learn that the mar
riage of this young lady to her unfaith
ful husband was to have taken place
the next Sunday. He had written that
he died in indigent circumstances,
thinking that his wife ivould then hayo
no anxiety concerning his effects, which
he thought would be the only motive to
bring her into the neighborhood. The
marriage was happily prevented, and
thS tombstone unhappily unused:
"Doctor," said a patient, a short time
si nee, after read i ug over the prescription
of a distinguished friend of temperance - ,
whom ill-health had obliged him to
consult, "Doctor, do you think a little
sperits now and then would hurt me
very much?" "Why no, sir," an
swered the doctor, deliberately; "I do
not know that a little how and then
would hurt you much ; but sir, if you
don't take any it won't hurt you at all."
