Our comfort and relief.
Tears of gladness fall.
Ah we note his simple mind;

In letters bold and true,
Arc traced the words so dear,
To white and colored too;
“Equal rights” to alii

Arise! her gallant youth.
“Thy people shall be m> people!”
Cries Carolina’s son ;

Your redemption’s nearly won;

In all the walks of life;
No longer on the stroetr,
Are heard the sounds of strife.
W'elcome 1 our peerless hero,
O^ie first in honor’s fray;
A champion to be proud of,
Of age and youth the Stay.
E’en the rfabe cries, welcome!
And tries to lisp your name,
In palace and In cot,
Alike your noble fame.
Children strew your way
With flowers costly, rare;
Old faces beam with happiness
And loudly rings the “cheer."
'• God bless thee, our Hampton,’’
Prays every loyal heart;
We bow our head with sadness,
To thinlc that we must part.
Oh, may snciiesh attend thee,
And when the battle’s won,
With one accord 'fre’ll say,

We sincerely trust that Gov. Ilatap-

it merits from him the recent missive of
Governor Rice, o^folafsachusetts. If
the Bay State Executive had not been
hard bit and keenly stung, he would not
have squealed so lustily, and euudnted, in
his pretended response, father the style
of Dennis Kearney than Daniel Webster.
No evidence was required to prove the
knavery of Kiuiptou, but Rice has ftir-
nisjhed complete testimony as to Ids own
degradation in refusing to surrender him.
To that extent, officially, he has also de-1
graded his Commonwealth, the better '

is not a reply that the woild will admit to
be valid when confronted with honest in
dignation, and the attempt to arrogate a
claim for superior excellence over South j
Carolina is so farcical an imitation df the

the mouth of a pinch-bcek statesmanlike
Rice, opera boufle of the Jowcst order.
He had ^t one course, and that was nn
appeal to “ higher law.” In tie hands
of a v umuer this kind of doctrine, how
ever false, rose to something like sublim
ity. In tho treatment of a Ride it sinks
to bathos, the more so as Sumuer lived
to S'-e his hobby a destructive charlatan
isin and Rice survives to follow a marsh
lamp and mistake it for the moon. The
Philadelphia Times, an independent pa

ing this question, that “if Governor

they are to be interpreted henceforth,

Had any other State than Massachusetts
becH guilty of this indecent exhibition
of partisan passion and disregard of law
it would have attracted less attention ;
blit when the most respected of Common
wealths degrades her' authority to the
basest political prejudices to shield the
basest of Criminals, it is high time that a
revolution of some kind should sweep
the Bay State into a new dominion.”
These are words of friendly warning:
The revolution is already abroad. It
may not succeed to-day or to-morrow,
but it will surely come at last and whirl

utter destruction.

These particles of vapor tve may sup

There is, indeed, a manifest relation be

The Journal ot Health says: To re
gain or recover health persons should
be relieved from anxiety concerning
diseases. The riilnd has power over
the body. For a person to think he
has a disease will ofteh produce that
disease. This we see effected when
the mind Is intensely concentrated up
on the disease of another. It is found
in the hospitals that physicians and
surgeons who make a specialty of cer
tain disease, are liable to die of It
themselves ; and the mental power Is
so great that sometimes people die of
diseases which they only have in imag
ination. We have seen persons sea"
sick in anticipation of a voyage before
reaching the vessel. We have known
a persoh to die of a cancer In the
stomach when he had bo cancer or
any other disease. A man blindfolded
and slighily pricked in the arm, has
fainted and died from belieViug that
he was bleeding to death. Therefore,
persons in health and desiring to con
tinue so, should at all times be cheer
ful and happy, and those who are sick
st-ould have their attention drawn as
much as possible from themselves. It
Is by their faith men are saved, and
also by iheir faith that they die. If a
man wilts not to die he cau live in spite
of disease ; and if bfe has iittie or no
attachment to life he will Blip away
easy as a child falls ash bp. Men live by
tbelr souls and not by thelt bodies.
Their bodies have no life of them
selves ; they are only resources of
life—tenements of their souls. The
will has much to do in continuing Che
physical occupancy or giving it up.

A woman went Into a barber’s shop
on C street some weeks ago and Want
ed to know how much It would oost to
dye a man’s hair and mustache. The
price was named, and the then asked
the barber to set his dye and follow
her.
“ Why can’t the man come heref”
asked the barber.
“He’s dead,*’ replied the woman,
“ and tbe last thing he said when he
was passing aWay was r 'Sally, fix me
up pretty fot the funeral.’ His hair
curled beautifully, but was a little
gray. It won’t look well to see a Wo
man crying round a coffin with an old
gray-bearded man In It. So I want
him fixed up a little. He was always
a beauty when he bad bis hair dyed. I
know I’d want mine fixed that Way If I
was gray and dead.”
The barber dyed tbe dead man’s
hair In the higheftt style ol the art,
and the widow remarked, when all was
over, that “ he was the loVeiis-it corpse
ever burled on the Codi8tock.**^-Vlr-
