In the Chesapeake and her tribute' streams, r" '?'>*' Where broadening ont to the bay thej come, And the great fresh waters meet the i .* brine, ' 1?? Thoje swims a fish that is called the dram A fish of wonderful beauty and force, That bites like a steel trap aud pulls like a horse. He is heavy of girth at the dorsal fin, Bnt tapering downward keen and thin; Long as ? salmon,' if not so stout, And springy and swift ?s the moun? tain trout; For often at night, in a sportive mood, He comes to the brim of the moonlit flood,. And tosses a glittering onrve aloft, Like tbe silver bow of the God-then soft He plashes deliciously back in the spray, And tremulous circles go spreading away. Down by the marge of the York's broad stream, An old darkey lived, of the ancient regime, His laugh was loud, though his lot was low, He loved his old master, and hated his hoe. Small and meagre was this old Ned, For many long winters had frosted his head And bated his force and vigor; But though his wool all white had become, And his face wrinkled up like a wash? woman's thnmb, And his back was bent, ho was thought by some A remarkably hale old nigger. But he suffered, he said, with a steady - attack Of ''misery in de head and pain in de back, Till his old master gave him his time to himself," And the toil-worn old bondsman -was laid on the shelf. Though all philanthropists clearly can see ? The degrading effects of slavery, I can't help thinking that this old creature Was a great advance on his African nature, . And straighter of shin and thinner of lip Than his grand-sire that came in the Yankee ship. Albeit bent with the weary toil, Of sixty years on a "slave-trodden" soil, Untaught and thriftless and feeble of mind, His life was gentle, his heart was kind; He lived in a house, he loved his wife, He was higher far in his hopes and his life, And a nobler man, with his hoe in his hand, Than an African prince in his native land. Tor perhaps the most odions thing upon earth Is an African prince in the land of his birth, With his negative calf and his convex shin, Triangular teeth and his pungent skin, So bloated of body, so meagre of limb, . Of passions so fierce and of reason so dim. So oruel in war, and so torpid in peace, So strongly addicted to entrails and grease, So partial to eating by morning light The wife that had shared his reposo over-night; In the blackest of black superstitions down-trod, In his horrible rites to his beastly god, With their bloody and loathsome and hideous mystery But that has nothing to do with the fish-story. Happy old Edward-his labor was done, With nothing to do but sit in the sun, And free to follow his darling wish Of playing his fiddle and catching his fish. He had earned bis play-time with labor long, And so, bke the other old Ned of the song, "He laid down the shovel and tho hoe," And caught up the fiddle and the bow. Now I cannot say That his stylo of play Would suit tho salons of the present _ day. For the tours de force of the great Paganini Have never found favor in old Vir ginny. He never played a tune that went slow, For he perfectly scorned an adagio, But with eyes half closed, and a time beating too, His elbow squared, and his resinous bow Not going up high, nor going down low, - Bui jPgUlii I*?* i? tba H?

For the South did certainly try her best To rescue them from the philanthro? pist, In a strife that shall redden the page of history But that lins nothing to do with the fish-story. To return, old Ned wont fishing one day, And out on the blue, In his dug-out canoe, He carried his fiddle along to play. Long he fished with his nicest art, There came not a nibble to gladden his'heart; So ho tied his line to his anklo tight, To be ready to haul, if a fish should bite, And seized his fiddle. So sweet did he play, That the waves leaped up in a laugh of spray. And dimpled and sparkled as if to move To invisible water-nymphs dancing above, Reminding one, as he fiddled there, Of the churruing little Venetian air 'Pescator deW onda-Fidulin. ' But slower and slower he drew tho bow, And soft grew tho music, sweet and low, The lids fell wearily over tho eyes, The bow-arm stopped, and the melo? dies; The last strain melted along the deep, And Ned, the old fisherman, sank to sleep.

Let us veil the struggle beneath the brine, Of the darting fish and the tangling line. The battle, of course, was a short one, since Old Ned, not gifted with gills or fins, And down in the waves, was as much out of place As a mermaid wonld be in a trotting race; And motionles soon at the bottom he lay, As mute as the fiddle that floated away. They were washed ashore by the heaving tide, And the fishermen found them side by side, In a common death and together bonnd In the line that circled them round and ronud, So looped and tangled together, That their fate was involved in a dark mystery, As to which was the catcher, and which tho catch oe; For the fish was hooked hard and fast by the gill, And tho darkey was lassoed around the heel, And each had died by the other!

NOW IS THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT those PERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples, corrupt sores, which POLLUTE tho LIFE of the BLOOD, and render your body a loathesomo thing.

LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that bas ever been invented, as thousands will to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as a positivo remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of tho system. The Queen's Delight is a new compound, and is now the great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by tho profession, patronized by tho highest dignitaries of tho land, endorsed by everybody. In the brief poriod of twelve months, over 3.000 cases have been treated so suc? cessfully aa to ontitle it to be the wonder of the age. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion. los? of appetite, ref tlesness, want of vital force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all tho com? pounds of bark or bitters. As a liver invigorator, it is of inestimable value. As a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all tho rum and whiskey tonics of tho day, and if you value your life and health a flin's fee, avoid these quickening stimu ants to tho grave ana use the Queen's Delight. Ask for Heinitsb's Queen's De? light.

ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC IN THE OIIEAT FIOnT AGAINST RADICAL, USURPATION. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH. THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to thc rehabilitation of the South in its former prosperity-ie offered to subscribers at the low rate of $1.50 for six months. The annals of the American Republio show no political campaign comparable in the magnitude of its issues and tho mo? mentousness of its results to that for the Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the very lifo of free government is on trial, and it will bo a sad commentary on tho capacity of the people for the exercise of that high trust if they, tho jurors who are to try the issue, pronounce a verdict of 8olf-condcmnation. DJ tho South has any hope it ia in the success of the Democratic party in the coming Presidential election; and every citizen is vitally interested in tho progress of tho battle, and cannot afford to bo without a sound and reliablo nowspaper. As an organ, not only of sound Demo? cratic priac'plcs, but as a vehicle of ge? neral news, tho GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A largo eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns, filled with tho contributions of able cor? respondents, tho daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi? torials. Especially will it be valuable as an organ to disabuBO tho Northern mind of tho falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actions, with which it is tho industrious vocation of certain parties to poison tho springs of Northern feeling on Southern subjects. In thib view of the matter, no moro valuable aid to tho true reconstruction of thc country and restora? tion of just sentiment at the North toward tho South can be rendered than by sub? scribing to the WEEKLY GLEANER and Rending it to acquaintances and friends in tho Northern States. Wo ask tho aid of such of our political comrades as shall BCO this prospectus, in the distribution of tho paper; ??pecit?y during tho progrcas of the impending campaign. t?
