Kccall'd him not to revelry.
Willi soul aglow, his thoughts wore high,
For In the depths of his clear eyo
Was ndrrorod true nobility.
His thoughts were silch as do not sway
Those who are made of common clay;
Enlarged his soul, beyond bis years,
Not hound by common hates or fears
But more cxpensivo than the air,
He soars above and In the glare
Of countless suns, ho roams in grandeur on
Until he views the All Eternal tin one,
And sees thoso many worlds revolving
round
The Ouo Great Centre where our God is
found.
Nor In the sky, alone, docs his young mind
See beauties that are worthy of mankind ;
But in the realms of nature's broad domain,
Hocks, trees and hilla, and fluid of waving
grain,
Tl.c flowers that bloom In beauty at his feet
And the green carpet of tho meadows sweet.
Fill his young mind witll beaulLs rich and
rare,
For God spcuks his goodness to him there,
Every fragrant blossom on Iho tree
Portrays nt once a watchful constancy,
For He who ru es the In nvcru above
Is yet through all a Ood of Love.

One of the fivori'e expedients of lln
Copperheads during thu late elee'ion
was t" employ colored men to ride in
their pr cession foi the purpose of
bringing discre lit " pon the colored race
However such a task degraded tho white
men engaged in it. it was only rarely
that they could indium colored noli to
iVist iu It. In one ot the towns nt
Maryland the returned robtls. in order
to excite hostility to ' a distinguished
champion of the. Union cause, piocuied
an on! bureau which they cal'cd bis
'pet,' and then oanvassed the town for
the purpose of iiioucing a negro to take
his sent upon it, and bo to ride in tho
Copperhead procession. They went
naturally . to the in 1st, ' worthless they
could find, to those steeped in dissipa
tion and vice. , The. first answer they
received was. from an old bootblack,
who said. 'You can't git dis chile to do
no such tinjji' I lut s my grog; but I
cnuld'ut talk to de gentlemen after I had
lirone wld de Coppeiheads.' And the

they could do, hired one of their own

like lira is worth remembeting when it
is claimed that the colored race would
