THE LITTLE PEOPLE. (.0:) o A dreary place would be this earth W ero there no little people in it; d The song of life would lose its mirth, Were there no children to begin it. Mo little forms like buds to grow, ^ And mako the admiring heart surrender; b To make the thrilling lore caress. c To kcop the thrilling lovo cords tender. ? No.babo within our arms to leap, d No little feet toward slumber tending; a No little knees in prayer to bend, j Our lips the sweet words lending. ti c What would the mothers do for work. J, Were there no pants or jacket tearing? 8 No tiny dresses to embroider ? t No cradle for their watchful carin ? a t No rosy boys at wintry morn. t Willi satchel to the school-house hasting ; ^ - No merry shouts at home they rush, i No precious morsel for their tasting. t The stcrncr^BOuls would geYlnof* stern, " ^ And men to stoic coldness turn, a And woman would be less than woman. 1 I'orin that climc towards which we reach, Thro' Time's mysterious dim unfolding, ? 1 ii little ones with cherub smile Are still our Father's face beholding. So said IIis voice, in whom wo trust, E When in Judea's realm a preacher, r lie made a child confront the proud, I And be in simple guiso their teacher. I > l.ifo's song, indeed, would lose its charms, Wcro there no babies to begin it; A doleful place this world wuold be Were there no little people in it. { Too Hot ?ok IIim.?As Confederate ' war reminiscences are the order of the day, here is one too good to lie buried. .The ' hero of the joke we will call hitu .Jim.? llu was attached to Ilosser's Cavalry, in ' Stuart's command.

In fact, he placed him- t self iu every position that his genius could t invent, but the "hiss" of the bullet hunted f him still. At last, in despair, he called to j his commanding officer : "Lieutenant, let's I fall back !" "I cannot do it, Jim," replied J the officer. "Well, I'll be drat if wo don't p gc' e'eaned up if we stay here !" "My or- s do s.

In the lower 1 ountica where tho colored people ?.!****< irgeu umerical majority, the Domocats have ecouio frightenod before they ha vo meet tho < uemy iu open battle and tried their real i trcngth at the ballot-box. The republicans . ave a well-defined policy which they aro ieteruiinod to carry out at every cost, and* re making a supremo struggle fer a uia- , ority in the legislature. They have taken < ip Hampton, uot from choico but from ncc- ; ssity, and are making tho fight for tho i cgislature. Here they intend to tako their i tand and by opposition to the adiiiiuistra- ] ion so weaken the government as to render ill efforts at real reform of no avni| and in his way destroy the Dewocracry and restore he radical party to power. This is all rrong. The Democracy is strong enough o subdue all opposition and overcome any nujority, if it will only go to work in its >wu ranks and frown ctown every attompt ibout to bo made. Wo are cither good )emoerats or we are republicans, or wo are torse. The moment wc fall into the nets iur enemies have spread for us aud agree o the least surrender of our rights, that moncnt we seal tho doom of tho party aud lestroy the safety of the State. Every lominec of the Democratic party should be cquircd to speak out on this subject. No loucst Democrat, uo true man, will suffer liuisclf to be used as a tool by the radicals vho are in deadly conspiracy against us.? Abbeville Medium.

A' ""Singular Community."-?Judge Jackson, of Georgia, writing from Iowa to he JlesAytiH, says : uIn Iowa, sonic hunIred miles before you reach the Missouri, hero is a singular community, composed <>r r an one hundred and fifty to two hundred icjplc, called Icariuus, and their village caria. They cut in common, having one lining room, one mill for grinding, one iroperty in lauds, and' are one iu all tilings ive in wives.

It is c<|uully noteworthy ^that ie well to do suitors uovcr get hit." A celebrated French pancher, in a seginon ii the duties of wives, said, "I see i^thi* mgrcgalion a woman who has been guilty [' disobedience to her husband, and in of/f er to point her out I will fling my breviary t, her head."
