THE LITTLE PEOPLE. (:o:)? A dreary place would be this earth Were there no I it i!c people in it; The song of life would lose its mirth, Were there no children to begin it. No little forms like buds to grow, And make tlio admiring heart surrender ; To make the thrilling love caress. To keep the thrilling lovo cords tender. No babe within our arms to leap, No little feet towurd slumber tending; No little knees in prayer to bend, Our lips the sweet words lending. j What would the mothers do for work, Were there no pants or jacket tearing? No tiny dresses to embroider ? " #ol.r.,1 ??rin ? Mo cranio iur men n?vu.u. v.. No rosy boys at wintry morn. With satchel to the school-liouso hasting; - No marry shouts at home they rush, No precious morsel fur their tasting. The sterner bouIs would geTHnori' stern, UlltWIIII^ imtuto IHOIV Anil men to stoic coldness turn, And woman would be less than woman. i'orin that clime towards which we reach, Thro' Time's mysterious dim unfolding, T . little ones with cherub smile Arc still our Father's face beholding. 5so said II is Yoicc, in whom we trust, When in Judea's realm a preacher, liu made a child confront the proud, And he iu simple gttiso their teacher. Life's song, indeed, would lose its chnrms, V.'cro there no babies to begin it; A doleful place this world wuold be Were there no little people in it.

He the tried lying down. In fact, he placed hiu self in every position that his genius coul invent, but the "hiss" of the bullet huntc him still. At last, in despair, ho called t his commanding officer : "Lieutenant, let fall back !" "I cannot do it, Jim," rcplie the officer. "Well, I'll be drat if we don ge' e'en lied up if we stay here !" "My 01 do >.

JLJ_a Sthaiuiitout Vjuiit?Reports aro coming up from all parts of the State as to 1 a combination movement between certain ' disaffected Democrats and the leading lights of the old Radical party. In tho lower counties where tiro colored people largeu umcrical majority, theDomocats have become frightenod before they have meet tho enemy iu open battle and tried their real strength at the ballot-box. The republicans have a well-defined policy which they aro determined to carry out at every cost, and" are making a supreme struggle for a majority iu the legislature. They have taken up Hampton, not from choice but from necessity, and aie making tho fight for the legislature. Here they intend to take their stand and by opposition to the udiliiuistratiou so weaken the government as lb render all efforts at real reform of no avai| and in this way destroy the Deuiocracry an J restore the radical party to power. This i is all wroug. The Democracy is strong enough to subdue all opposition and overcome any majority, if it will only go to work in its own ranks aud frown aown every attempt about to bo made. Wo aro either good Democrats or wo aro republicans, or we aro worse. The moment we fall into the nets our enemies have spread for us and agree to the least surrender of our rights, that moment wo seal the doom of the party and destroy the safety of the State. Every uomiuee of the Deuiocratic party should he required to speak out on this subject. No honest Democrat, no true man, will suffer himself to be used as a tool by the radicals who are in deadly conspiracy agaiust us.? Abbeville Medium.
