MAKY* MOOSE. A PLEASANT LOVE STORY. CHAPTER L All my life loDg Thad known Mary Moore. All my life I loved ber. Our mothers we're old playmates and b'rst cousins. My first recollection-is of a boy. in a red frock aud morocco shoos, rocking a cra dle in which reposed a sunny-haired, .blue eyed lair- not quite a year ?dd. That boy was myself-Harry Church; hat blue eyed baby was Mary Moore. Later still, 1 see myself at. the little school howse, drawing my little chaise np to the door, that Mary might ride 1 onie. Many a heating have 1 gained on such occaxionp, for oih?-r boys besides inc liked atr, aud she, J fear, was suinething o? a llir-t, even in her pinafore-. How elegantly she cams tripping down thc stcps when I called ber name! how sweetly her blue eyc6 looked ?ip at me! how gay ly raog out her merry laugh ! That fairy laugh ! No one but Mary cvulri ever bring her heart eo soon to her lips! I fo?oi?e?itbat laugh from rny days of child.?eod till I grew an awkward, blushing youtl -1 fellowed it through tiie -he.Ved uoon of manhood-and now, when the frosts ot age ire .-inering iuv Lair, anti m?ny \'-bi:dre>V^??^'lcne^m?k: call me "father/1 1 ii:id that the memories of youth are strong, and tba:, even in grey hairs, ? am following its music-still. When I was li ft eeo. the lir,t great sorrow oi my life came upon my heall. 1 was sent ti) school, und was obliged to par! with Mary. We were not to sse each otb sr i>>r three lovg years! Th?<, to me, was lil e a sentence ol death, for Mary was like life its' il* to me. Eut bea: ts are tough things after all. I left college ia all tbc flish ?iud vigor of my ninetec-tb year. I was uc longer awkward aud embarrassed. I bad grown into a tall slender trippling, with a very good opiuion of myself, both in general and particular- If I thought of Mary Moore, it was to imagine how I would dazzle and bewilder ber with my good looks and woodcrltil attainments never thinking that i>he might d;:zz!e and be wilder me still more. I waa a coxcomb, I know ; but as youth and good looks have lied, 1 trust I may be believed when I say that Hell' conceit has left m s also. An advantageous propos.-. 1 wus made tome at thai timejand, accepting it, I gave up all idea of profession aud I prepared to go to the ' Indies. In my hurried visit home of two 3 days I (?aw nothing of Mary Moore. She had J gone to a boarding school at soorae diitance, ' and was Dot expected hom i till the following ' May. I uttered one sigh *.o the memory of j my little blue-eyed playmate, and then called ' myself " a mau again." "In a year," I thought, ai the vehicle 1 whirled away from our dcor- " in a year, or 1 three years at the very most, I will return and, ' if Mary is as pretty as sie used to be, why then, perhaps, 1 may marry her." ? And thus I settled the. future of a young ) lady whom I had not seen for four years. I . never thought of the pos/iibility of her refu sing me-never dreamed that t>he would not condescend to accept my offer. i Bu', uow I know that, had Mary met rac i then she would havo despised me. Perhaps in thc scented and affected student she might have fouiid plenty of 6po"t; but as for loving me, or feeling the slight.;st interest in me, 1 should have perhaps foutu! that I was mistaken. ; 'India was my salvation, riot merely because of my success, but because my laborious iu dustty had counloraclec tho evil in my na ture and made me a 'beiter man. "When at the end of three years 1 prt pared LO return, I said nothing of tho reformation iii myself which I knew had taker place. " They loved me a3 I wa?,*' I murmured to myself, " and they shall find out .for them selves whether I am bettor worth loving than formerly." I packed up many a token, from that laud of romance and gold, fe r the friends I hoped to meet. The gift for Mary Moore I selected with a beating heart; i-. was ? ring of rough, virgin gold, with my name and hers engraved inside-that was all, ard yet the sight of th'1 little toy strangely thrilled mc as 1 balanced it upon the tip of my linger. To the ey a of others it was but a small, plain circlgt, suggesting thoughts,-perhaps by its elegance, of the beautiful white hand that was to wear it. Hut to me-how much was embodied there! A loving smile on a beau tiful fa?e-low words of welcome-a future borne, and a sweet smiling fare- all these de lights were hidden within that little ring of gold ! CHAPTER IL Tall, beanie! and sun-bronzed, I have knocked at the ooor of my father's house. The lights in ihe parlor windows and the hum of conversation n'ud cheerful laughter showed hie that company were assembled them. I hoped my sister Liz :ie would come to the door, aud'tbat I migb: greet my family when no strange eye was looking curiously on.. Hut no-a servant answered my summons. They were too mern- in the parlor to heed ike long Hbsont one v hen he asked for admit tance. A bitter thot ght like this was passing through my mind, ns I hoard the sounds from thc parlor, and saw the half suppressed smile i upi n the servant's face. ^ I b< si ta teri for a moment before I made j mj sf ll' known or asked alter the family. And j while I s ood silent, a strange apparition grew j up before me. Frjm behind the servant ! peered out a small golden bead-u tiny, deli cate form followed, md a sweet, childish face, ' .with blue eyes vu lifted up io minc-?o like to thore of ono who had brightened my boy hood, -hat I started back with a sudden feel ing of pain. " What is your name, ray little one ?" I asked, while tho wondering servant held the door. ' She lifted up her hands as if to shade her eves, 11 had seen that very attitude in another in my boyhood, many and many a time,) and answered in a sweet, bird-like voice : " Mary Moore." "And what else?" I asked quickly. u Mary Moore Chester ?" lisped the child. My heart sank down like lead. Here was an end to all the bright dreams and hopes of my youth and manhood. Frank Chester, my boyish rival, who had often tried, and tried in vain, to usurp my place beside tho girl, had succeeded at last, and had won her away from me ! This was tho child-his child and Marv's 1 I sank, body and soul, beneath this blow. And hiding my face in my hands, I leaned against the door, whilo m$ heart wepf tears ol' blood. The little one gazed at me, grieved and amazed, and put up her pretty lips*as if about to cry, whilo thc perplexed servant stepped to too parlor door and called my sis ter out to see who it was that conducted himself so strangely. I heard a light step, and a pleasant voice saying: " Did yon wish to see my father, sir ?" I looked up. There stood a pretty, sweet faced maiden of twenty, not much changed from the dear little sister I had loved so well. I looked at her for a moment, and then, stil ling the tumult of my heart by a mighty ef fort. I opened my arms and said : " Lizzy, don't you know me ?" " Harry ! Ob, my brother Harry !" she ?jftbd, and threw herself upon my breast. She wept as if her heart would bieak. . 1 could not weep. I drew her gently into the lighted parlor, and stood with her before them all. . There was a rush and a cry of joy, and then my father and mother sprang towards me, and welcomed me horne with heartfelt tears ! Oh, strange and passing sweet js such a greeting to the way-worn wanderer I And as I bald my dear old mother to my bem-t, and grasped my father's baud, while. Lizzie still dui.g beside me, I felt that all was not yet lost, and though another had secured life's choicest blessing, many a joy remained for ine in ibis dru: sanctuary of home. There were four other inmates of the room who hat! risen ou my sudden entrance. One WHS the WHO eyed child whrfm I had already seen, and who nov.- stood beside Fra uk Ches ter, clinging lo ?is hand. Near by stood Liz ?ie Moore, Mary's eldest sister, and in a dis tant coner, to which she had hurriedly rc treated when my name was spoken, stood a lall and slender ligure, half hidden hy the bcavy window enraius that fell io the floor. When tbe first rapturous greeting was over, Lizzie led ina forward with a timid giv.ee, and Frank Chester grasped my hand. "Welcome home my boy !" "be said with :he loud cheerful tones I remembered so well. ' You have changed so that I nc T would iave ki.own you ; but no matter for that four heart is in thc right place, I know." " IIu'.v caa you say ho is changed ?" said ny mother, gpnt-ly." "Tobe ?uro, he looks >k?L-r, aird graver, and more liko a man, than vhen ho went away-but his eyes and smile ira th'! same as ever. It is s, heavy heart ?hat change* hiei^. He formr-ft " Av, mother, Tanswereil, sadly; "J ara ..Mir boy still." Hoaven kelp me! At that moment'I felt ike a boy, and it would have bein a blessed c-Uef to hive wept upon her bosom, as I lia.l lone in my infancy, but 1 kept down the ;ealiu? of my heart ami the tremor of my ip, and answered quiet!)', aa I looked in his 'ul! handsome face, u Y-ii have changed too, Frapk, but I think br the better."' u Oh. yes-i hunk you forthat compliment," ie auswere i with a hearty laugh, " My wife ells me I prow handsomer ever day." His wife!- caulil I hear that name and veep silence still ? " And have you seen my little girl?" he idderj, lifting tho infant in his arms, and kissing ker crimsoned cheek. "I tell you, Harry, there is not such another in the world. Don't, you think shu looks very much like aer mother used ?" ' " Very much !" I faltered. " Hallo!" cried Frauk, with a suddenness, bat made me start violently, MI have for rotten to introduce you to my wife ; I believe rou and she used to ba playmates in your ?roang days-yes Harry ?" and he slapped ne ou the back. " For the sake of old times ind because you were not here at the wed ding, TU give you leavo to kiss her once sut mind old fellow, you are never to repeat :he ceremony. Come-hero sho ia, and I for once want to see how you will manage those ferocious mustaches of yours in the aperaron, He pushed Lizzie, laughing and blushing towards me. A gleam of lignt and hope, al most too dazzling to bear, carr.eover me, aud i cried eut before I thought : "Not Maryl" ? It mast have betrayed my B -cret to every one in the room. But nothing was laid L'Ven Frank, in general so obtuse, vas this time silent. I kissed the fair cheek of the j young wife, and hurried to the silent figure I looking out of the window. " Mary-Mary Moore," I said in a low, ea ger voice, "have you to welcome to give the ' wanderer?" j ?be turned and laid her hand in mine, and ' murmured hurriedly: " I am glad to see you here, Harry." Simple words-and yet how blest they made me ! 1 WO#ld not have yielded np that mo ment for an emperor's crowo ! For there was tbe happy home group, and the dear home fireside, there sweet Mary Moore ! The eyes I had dreamed of by day and night were fall ing before the ardent gue of mine, and the sweet face I had so long prayed to see was there before me ! I never knew the mean ing of happiness till that moment came. Many years have passed since that happy night, and thc hair thut was dark and glossy then, is fast turning grep. I am now grow ing to be an old man, anl eau look back to a long, happy, and I hope, a well spent life. And yet, sweet as it ba? been, I would not i;ocal! a single day, for tho love that made my manhood so blight, shines also-upon my white hairs. An oU man I Can this bo so ? At heart I am as young as ever. And Mary, with her bright hair parted smoothly from a brow that has a slight furrow upon it, is still tho Mary of early days. To mc,, sho can never grow old, nor change. The heart that held her in infancy, and sheltered her in tho flush and beauty of womanhood, can nevor cast her out till life shall ceaso toj warm it. Nor even then-for love still lives above. Ax INTERESTING SEQUEL TO A HASTY DI TORCE.-A correspondent of the Volkxfreund, writing from "The Indiana Prairie," /.nril 30, relates the following: "In Sullivan County, a young married pair, who had beon united in the bonds of wedlock about six years, having become somewhat mutually disagreeable of late, tho husband, in his anger, hastened to a lawyer, and took stefls to obtain a divorce from his wife. One aay he came home to his wife and said to brr : "Betsey, I have fulfilled your wink. You said you wished you were separated from me. Here is tho decree of di vorce." His wife was at fiist surprised, but far too indignant to betray any. emotion. She ?aid abo was ready to leave. She only aooded to pack up her goods.'' She wished he i be present to see thst" she took nothin cept .what was her own. He stepped the adjoining room vsithher where the" bi and clothes press wore. "'. The wife proci in silence to take oat the clothes, when denly her eyes fell upon a small dress quite overcome, she broke out in convt weeping. The husband, .hitherto an ind ent observer, remarked her emotion, an' covered the cause. It was the dress of only child, a little daughter of three y who had died almost two years ago. The band was not less affected by the sight bis wife. He embraced her with erne begged her pardon ?gajn and again, ton decree of divoco into a thousand pieces, tened to the Clerk's office, took out a marriage license, and waa married imn ately to his late wife." Confession and Death of an Arn Chaplain. M. M. Pomeroy, the able editor of thi Crosse (Wisconsin) Democrat, gives (he lowing death-bed scene, wbich he was ca to visit iu his recent visit to Chicago: The Rev. Henry Clannard, an ex-a chaplain,' who left off expounding the B and recruiting for"tl Saviour, and by en 6ing the nigger and abolitionism becam< army chaplain in one of thc Wisconsin r ments, passed from life to a home beyom blessed i m mortal i ty, ihe other day, and t shuffled off bis mortal coil. A physician had called on him two or tl times a day for a month, doctoring him an ague brought on- while stealing cottoi Arkansas while with General Curtis, learning that the ex minister and ex-chap! would hardly live, the night out, we ca with the physician.. . . In a little wooden-looking room, not o twelve feet square, In an obscure boardi house in Chicago, wo lound the invalid. 1 room was bare of furniture, except a p bed, a little, dirty wash-stand, two wood-t tum chairs, an old trunk, a pine table, which was spread a newspaper. on which an old bible, a pair of old snuffers, somei. boxes, and such stuff. The dying man *\ propped up in bed, while a laithful negro \ man sat on the foot,of the bed. As wc tered, he rallied a little, and asked the doc who he had brought with him. On be told that it was M Brick " Pomeroy, he sa back, closed his eyes,rallied a little, and sa " Perhaps it is as well. He might as v, know it as any one." And ho proceeded make his dying statement, which wa3 in th ..?ords. as wc took them down in our men randum book, as the physic-inn requested : " My nume is Henry Clannard. I am for one years old. I was once happy7 and c< tented, and loved Christ, my ?la-:ler, with the zea! a Christian ever had. Atlast I gr cold in religion, selfish and envious of t good fortunes of others.

And thus died the Rev. Henry Clannard A.v OUTRAGE SUMMARILY PUNISHED.-Wi learn that a party of three u bushwhacked went to the house of an old negro man Damec Henry Cobb, in Lincoln county, on Monday night of last week, and demanded his money Upon his refusing to deliver it they hung th< old man, but not succeeding in exlortinf money, left, saying that they were going tc thc house of Cobb's son in the neighborhood and would return in a short time. They want to the son's house and hung him, bu not till life wai extinct. Upon their depar ture, tho old man, who had recovered from h'i3 strangling, proceeded to ask the aid of hi; white neighbors. As ho was much respec ted in the neighborhood, bc soon got the as sistance required, and upon the return of th< banditti they wore fired upon by the party o neighbors. One of them was killed upon thc spot, another shot through the neck, and the Other took to flight and the horses of all three were captured. The man killed was a stranger, the wound ed man a citizen of Lincoln county, and thc third of Columbia country. An inquest was held upon the dead man and a verdict*Tn ac cordauce with the facts was rendered. We hope that all such bandits, leagued to gether, for no other purpose than plunder may meet with summary justice, and all good citizens should be ready at all times to pul "down those disturbers of the peace who should attempt to inaugurate ?reign of terror among our laboring population. Those good citizens I ol Lincoln county, who answered so promptly j and effectively t ho old negro's call for assis I lance are deserving of the highest credit. Washington (Ga.)

Education of the Negro. The necessity of educating the negro is not to be questioned. His position as a freeman, a creature of'his own violation, no longer Sub ject to oar own, demands it. He will be but a useless and troublesome member of society in his present state of ignorance. That ig norance was harmless, perhaps beneficial while he was a slave, and while bia life and conduct was controlled by another and a su perior intellect and morality. But it must bo the source of manifold and multiform evil, now that the ignorant mau is master of himself. Thc necessity of educating the negro being considered, it becomes a matter of vital in terest to us who is to be his teacher. He is a countryman of our own ; archild of o?r own soil and climate ; he thrives here in such a manner as to seem an indigenous product of the South : his home and his associations are here ; he understands tho peculiar culture of tho region, and is himself, so peculiarly adap ted to that culture, that in many sections he alone can carry it on without mortal injury to health. Here, without doubt, he ii destin ed to live, bis lotis cast with ours for good and ill 5 past connections enable us to under stand botter than any body else his character and wanta ; and though extraneous influences have lately introduced some sucpicionbetween ourselves and him, that suspicion has already almost past away, and he is again resuming a just and natural confidence in his old friends. It is plain that we are formed to be hts pro tecting ally ; it is plain that oar interests and his are identical ; he begins to recognize that fact and to see that after all, our affection for and sympathy with'him, aro of a more genu ine and permanent character than he can else where obtain. Such being the ties between us, it ia evi dent that we alone ought to undertake the negro's education. It will be both for bis ad vantage and our own that we should do so. We shall teach him better because we know him better than his Northern school-masters ; and we shall give his mind just chat sort of training, and just that port ol' direction which the present relations of the races demand. Yankee lessons servo but to fill his mind with pernicious ideas, and to make him ambitious beyond his capacity and sphere ; our lessons will renden him a useful, contented, and tru ly intelligent man. We mU3t not leave this work to others. It is foolish to bo blind to tho progress of events, and to shut our eyes to the fact that the once humble aad unreflecting slave is now a man with aspirations and awakened hopes. These aspirations and these hopes it is wilhin our power to control within proper limits, if we surround Lim with thc conservative influences of Southern thought.-Columbia Carolinian. NEW ENGLANDERS POCKETING SLAVES. Hon. Isaac Davis, of Worcester, Mass., ?ome len years ago, sat one day at au Abolition meeting, in that fiery little town. Thc speak ers were earnest in denouncing the sin of sla very, of making merchandise of men, and cf receiving the gain ol' such a trade ; these prac tices were an abhorrence io them. Mr. Da vis arose. He told over by nome the men who were present, aod who were directors and stockholders in a certain bank in town, and read them a letter from a lawyer in Charles ton, S. C., who had recovered a judgment there for a sum of money due to the bank. The letter went on to state that they had seiz ed, inex?cution upon this judgment, the slaves r-^ Wtwrt?, dflbtoJrj--an?tbey,;Wcre--two families of slaves-then advert?serr^r7?^^ pay the judgment of thc bank. Those direc tors and stoc!:holdeis were tims, to the extent of their interest in the bank, the owners of thc slaves ; the negroes were to be sold at their order, and tue proceeds would ba paid over to them. Jle then pleaded with them to come forward and give up earn bis share of the claim, that sume, at least, of those Didoes might not be sold ; that, at least, o:ie funnily might be paved from separation. But, true tb the old MassHchusetts instinct, when these disagreeable questions came up, and these beautiful sentiments could not bo indulged in without affecting their pockets, tho meet ing subsided. A COLONY OF NEGROES SENT OUT nv THE UNITED STATES u COME TO GRIEF."-The cs porlation of four hundred and fifty-three freed .negroes in 18C3 to the Isle ATache, Ilavti, will bo remembered by our readers. Congress had made an appropriation the previous year for .colonization, and placed it in the hands of Mr. Lincoln. In April, 1SG.'!, Messrs.. Paul S. Forbes and Ch?ties K. Tiickcnnan made a contract with Secretary Usher for thc depor tation of such colonists at fifty dollars. Thc enterpriso was a failure ; its specifications, so far as a guarantee of a support for live years from the Ilaytien Government was concerned, could not be fulfilled; the emigrants became dissatisfied, and finally refused all overtures for contracts for labor, were eventually brought back, after some delay, at muuh ex pense. I On Tuesday, in the Scnrde, a petition was presented by Mr. Tuckermao for the appropri ation of tho sum agreed upon with an equita ble allowance for expenses of delay and re turn of tho colonises, made necessary by cir cumstances beyond thc control of contractors. Ile gives au account ol tho cost of the expe dition, which foots up the sum of !jj??O,000. He states that a " reimbursement of the ex penses of transportation has not yet baen made lo them, because of the Hayden Government to comply with ono of the requirements of tho contract-that the Hayticn Government wa3 required to furnish a guarantee that these em igrants should not, for a period of live years come to want-and this the authontios do cliued, on the ground that special legislation would be required, and that such discrimina tion on behalf ol a special class would proba bly cause jealousy and bloodshed, and cer tainly would lead to disastrous results."

INFANTICIDE-HORRIBLE DEVELOPMENTS. -We learn from a gentleman who arrived from TbomasviHe last evening that a case of infanticide, surrounded with circumstance)! of a most revolting character, had come to light in that town. On Tuesday last, the body of a colored in fant was rooted out by hog3 from its burial place by the side of ? road, in an unfrequented part of the village. Upon examination, it waa?fouud that the scull ol the infant had been fractured by a violent blow. Suspicion was at once tautened upon a colored girl who was known to have giveu birth to a . child which Lad suddenly disappeared. The woman wa? at once arrested by tho city marshal, although she strongly protested that she was innocent, and lodged in jail. For a while she still pcr siited in declaring that she knew nothing of thc matter, but she was finally induced to make the confession that the child was hers, but that it had bcon murdered by her mother -not by herself. Upon hoing interrogated still further, the girl confessed that 6he had two children, each of whom was put out of the way by her mother in the same horrible man ner. Search was at once mado for the mother, but she had disappeared, and at last accounts tho perpetrator of the three infanticides was ! still unarrested_Savannah News and Herald.

The Richmond Times makes the followin, singular appeal in behalf of thc Confederat dead: It is not without reason : But if the United State0, while collcctiiij the boucs of its soldiers, should also gathe and honor, in some appropria e way, the dus of our fallen heroes, how grateful it would b to our feelings. An act like that would cov er the Government with more glory than die thc victories of its vast and countless hosts It would bring tears to the ey-s and" loyalty to the hearts of the widows and orphans o the South, and it would be felt and deepb appreciated by our whole people. Tho gran deur and the magnanimity of such a deec would cause the world to resound with ap plause, aud no nation would ever better de serve praise and glory for such an action Here, then, is a way to let the hearts o North and South beat once more ia unison Let this great Government show that its ven geanco does not extend bey'"nd life aud thc grave; that ?Lean feel for and honor its brave children after they aro dead, even though il considered them in error while living ; thal alter death it no longer regarded them as on ernies and''rebels,'1 but as Paladins and Ba yards of noble valor. Peace has been made with tho living-why not with the deadi And if the bones of Union soldiers are to be collected, why not render the same sad office to those who fell by their hands ? Shall the Government agents, while T.hey are collecting thc remains of their own men, cast away the bones of ours, if by mistakothcy have gather ed them up ? The most callous and vindic tive would not willingly do so. Thc foregoing suggestion is in harmony with the following remarks of tho Chicago Times : It is to be hoped that one of the lessons the future will learn from the late war is that this nation is possessed of impregnable unity. This is all that needs to bi learned. In light ing the South, we fought not to perpetuate hostility, but to allay it. We labored to se cure more in places of less oneness. Out fighting will have been in vain if all the ha tred and mutual misunderstanding of the war are perpetuated. Therefore, the sooner wo adapt ourselves to a substantial unity of feeling, the sooner shalrWe have secured the maia object of thc contest on the part of the North. To attain this eud, we must as speedily as possible drop the name of " traitor." We must re cognize to the full the gallantry and purity of those who fought. Tho bad men on both sides must, bo consigned to oblivion, and the good men embalmed in the memory ot the people and preserved as l;he*ommon property of the nation. Tho uncalled-for and disgrace' ful malignity of radic?is may delay, but it cannot wholly prevent, the coming of a time in which the memorien of Graut and Lee, Sherman and Johnstoif| Sheridan and Stuart will be regarded as the property of all thc people of this nation. We venture the pra diction that the time will come when, if then be any ill-feeling in regard to Stonewall Jack son, it will be one of envy on the part of thc North that she did not give birth to this illus trious man. -? .+ ? ?Sf Maj.

Eleven .Millions for Negro Paupers* The bogusaffair that calla itself a Congress has just voted eleven millions for the " Nig ger bureau," to establish schools and support nigger paupers in the South ! Just think the negroes of the South produced some three hundred millions of surplus or real wealth, nearly all of which was finally secured to the people of the North, who built their Fifth ? avenue palaces and voluptuous churches on this result of " slavery," and in i860 there was not one single pauper among all these four millions of negroes. Now this labor and all this mighty production of wealth is abolished, for the time being, as absolutely so as if the negro himself was stricken out of existence, and the northern laboring clas ses are loaded down with a debt of three thousand millions to accomplish the stupen dous crime. Counting in the negresses of the South, who produced as much cetton as the males perhaps, the producing forces of the two sections were about equal, therefore it comes to tLis, not only is the labor of tho ne? pro lost to the whole country, but every la boring jnan in tho North must hereafter give a very considerable portion of each davis toil to destroy the former. The emigrant, the Irishman, the farmer, the mechanic, every man who adds to the production of the coun try must first give up a portion of each day's toil to pay the interest on the debt contracted to " abolish" the labor of the negro in the South, and what is left he may spend on his wife and children. If his children nave not quite enough to fill their bellies or to cover their nakedness, why he can only reply to them " be patient," for though you suffer for food and clothing, and I am giving my sweat and very life blood, and will doubtless die in the alms-house, it is io the glorious cause of emancipating negroes from labor ! But since this unapproachable crime of Abolition, the negroes are not only lost to production, but northern laborers are to be taxed eleven mil lions more to support negro paupers 1 Well, why not ? Sjnce thei1- hand is in, why not complete the job ? Why not, indeed, bring the negroes North and save the expense of sending agents into the remote South to look after them ? Why not, indeed, give every negro a white laborer to work for him here after 1 It would simplify the matter mighti ly, and be the same thing in fact.-N.

The circumstances of this case make it one of sad and peculiar interest. It not unfrequently happens that a bride or groom, soon after the performance of that rite which knits the dear est and holiest of bonds, is suddenly taken away in the midst of health and a new fo"a*nd happiness. Then the affliction is indeed ter rible to the bereaved, because unanticipated. But in thu? preseot instance, tho young man having returned recently from the army, was confined to his bed from a disease contracted in tho service. Day by day he sank visibly, and it was evident that his end was not fir distant. In this extremity his affianced ask ed that the marriage ceremony might be no longer delayed, in order that she might be his bride, though but a few short hours, that for lifetime .she might be the widow of one who had so bravely served his country. Un der these circumstances tho marriage was consum?t ed ; and so it comes to pass that be tween the wedding and the burial there ARMY NEWS Wuicn is GOOD NICWS.-By order of General Grant u districts" have been discontinued and " military posts" have been substituted. In consequence of this consoli dation the Government has been compelled to discharge about 40,000 volunteers, besides over 100 major and brigadier generals, whose services are no longer wanted. u It is now steted," savs Forney's Chroni cle, " on what is deemed reliable authority, that President Johnson is considering the propriety of discontinuing military divisions, departments and posts, and discharging all volunteer organizations, white and colored." Wa hope this is more true than the majority of Forney's statements. If we are to have United States soldiers in the South, by all means let them be regulars, who aro all white people, commanded by officers who are sol diers and not politicians. JCST The newspapers are publishing a paragraph giving the M signs" that accompa ny certain sorts of hair. Here are Qu?p'a notions on that subject : Black hair is com monly a sign that it has been dyed, especial ly when it has a reddish tinge at the roots. Stiff hair is a sign that it wants oiling. Short hair is sign that it has been cut, and long hair, vice versa. Curly hair is a sign of-tongs. A bald head is a sign of aversion to wigs. Uncombed hair is a sign of laziness and bad taste. CHOLERA PREVENTIVE.-Gas is said to be a sovereign cholera disinfectant, and escaping gas in a house will protect the inmates against cholera. An old physician, who has had some experience in tho treatment of cholera cases, recommends it. Whereas, Dr. Ham lin, whose experience of cholera has extended through three visitations of the disease in Constantinople, expresses the opinion that if one is prudent and temperate in diet and drink, and can avoid over exertion, great fa tigue, great anxiety, fright and fear, he thinks he is as safe from cholera as from being swept away by a comet.
