Moving carelessly _aiong7—
Pauslng not to watch the' shadows
Lowering o'er the mightythrong!

Some are struggling in the fight,
Taming on' also w'lstihl glances— _
Begging thee to hold the light!

Wanders blindly from the way;
And upon thy left a sister, '~
Frail and erring, turns astray ; V
One kind word, pereliance, may save them-
Guide their wayward steps aright;
Canst thou, then, withhold thy counsel?
No, but fly and hold the light 1. . ‘
Hark! a feeble wail of sorrow
Bursts from the advancing throng,
And a little child is groping
Through the darkness, deep and long;
'Tls a timid orphan, shivering
’Neath misfortune’s withering mum;
Friends, home, love, are all denied her:
Obi in pity, hold the light.
Not alone from heathen darkncss,
Where the pagan bows the knee,
Worshiping his brazen image
With a blind idolatry. .
Where no blessed Gospel teachings
E’er iiiume the soul's dark night,
Comes the cry to fellowgm'ortals,
Wild and pleading, “Hold the light!”
Here as well. in life’s broad highway,
, Are benigbted wanderers found;
And if all the strong would heed them,
Lights woald glimmer all around. -
Acts of love and'deeds of kindness
Then would make earth's pathway bright,
And there’d be no need of calling,
“Ho! thou traveler, hold the light l"

Who shall judge a man ll'om manners?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less;
' Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket ,
May beclothe the golden ore
Of the deepest thOught and feeling—
Satiu vests could do no more.
There are springs ofcrystal nectar
Ever welling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed, and-overgrown ;_
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Leves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sec.
Nan, uprsised above his~feliows,
0ft forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords,-rcmember
That your meanest binds are men ;—
Men by honor, men by feeling,
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights tosunshlne,
In man's cnnobiing name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little wad-clad rllis;
There are feeble, inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills ;—'
*2), who counts by souls, not stations,
ves and prospers you and me,
For to' him all hmed distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Truth and justice are eternal.
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right ;— ’
God, whose world-heard voice issinging'
Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression, with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.

The tide is out; where mg the surf was playing.
The rocks lie grim and bare;
The seaweeds, which in swelling waves were swaying,
Hang shriveled in the air.
Here, where the merry ripples, singing, leaping,
Kissed with their spray myhand,
The slow tide ieaveth, ever farther creeping,
Gray wastes of dreary sand.
But what to me were falling tides, if only- "
These salt waves sank from shore?
Alas! a sadder ebb I watch, heart-lonely,
Alone forevermore.
Au ebb of love, which once my soul surrounded,
A heart ieftbare and acid,
A barren waste of life, a loss unbounded,
A misery untold.
The sea will touch its foaming brim to-morrow,
And laugh along the shore—
Dut there’s no turn to this slow tide of sorrow,
And love will flow no more,
Unless—O God i—thc tides which ebb out from us
In bitterness and pain,
0n heavenly shores redeem their broken promise,
And flood Our hearts again!

I? Frank Blair has been shrewd enough
to discover [in the course of his ,travels
through the country, that immense damage
is being done to the prospects of the demo-
cratic party by the conduct of the World
and the La Crosse Democrat, in speaking of
and cotton thief. He rebuked those silly
slanders in his Leavenworth speech, when,
after referring to the “eminent services and
prestige of Gen. Gran ” he said: “I desire
to speak of Gen. Grant with the greatest re-
spect for his services to his country. I shall
first never allow myself to speak of him
otherwise than with the greateSt respect. I
don’t think we gain any ,advantage bymi's-

a good story has been retailed to us by an
old State street man, in regard to the author
of the life of a famous New England advo-
cafe. P—, the author aforesaid, was rath-
er a pedantic individual, and fond of asking
questions in regard to ancient history, with
the view of airing his own knowledge on the
subject. After posting himself well in R0]-
lin, he came down to the breakfast table Of
the United States Hotel one morning, and
seeinglJohn Holmes—Who, having ordered
his breakfast, was sitting in that calm state
of mind which precedes the morning meal—
he accosted him pompously with :—- -
“Ah'l Holmes, you are just the man to an
swer a question that has come up in my
mind this morning; Can you tell me in what
year Of his reign the second Ptolemy died ?’3
Holmes leaned back in his chair, and look-
ing at P——', with wellcounterfeited amaze-
ment, said} in a voice audible the length of
the dining room :

“No tramps here,” said I; and I shut the
door in his face. The Wind blew so I could
hardly do it, and the sleet was beating on
the pane, and the bare flees were groaning
and moaning as if they sufl'ered'in the storm
“N o tramps here, I’m a lone woman, and
I’m afraid Of ’em.”- '
Then the man I hadn't seen yet for the
dark went aWay, from the door—champ,
champ, came through the slush, and I heard
the gate creek as the gate always does; and
then champ,champ came the man back again
and he knocked on the door—knocked not
half so loud as he had before—and I opened
it hot and angry. This time I saw his face
apaie ghost of a face, with yellow brown
hair, cropped close, and great staring blue
eyes; and he put his hand against the door
and held it open. '
“How far is it to the next house, ma’am i”
said he.
“Three miles or more,” said I.
“And that is not a tavern?”
“No," said I; “no drinks to be got there:
it’s MISS Mitten’s, and She’s as set against
tramps as I am.”
“I don't want to drink,” said the man, “but
I do want food. .You needn’t be afraid to
let me in ma’am. I’ve “been wounded and
am not able to walk for, and my‘clothes are
thin, and it’s bitter cold. I’ve been trying to
get to my parents at Greenbank, where I can
rest until I’m better; and all my money was
stolen from me three days ago. You needn’t
be afraid; just let me lie before the fire, and.
only give me a crust to keep me from starv-
ing, and the Lord Will bless. you for-it.” ,
_’ And then he'looked at mewith his mild
blue eyes in a way that would have made
me do it, ifit hadn’t been that I seen so much
of those impostors. The war was just-over,
and every beggar that came along said he
was a soldier traveling home, and had be‘én
wounded and robbed. One that Iliad been
fool enough to help limped away out of sight

and murder me. Go away with you.”
Drusilla, that’s my niece, was baking short
cake in the kitchen. Just then she came to
the door and motioned with her mouth to
me. “Do let him stay,aunty,” and if I hadn’t
had good sense I might, but I knew better
than a chit of sixteen. ,
“Go away with you,” says _I, louder than
before. “I won’t have this any longer.”
And he gave a kind of groan,aud tookhis
hand born the latch, and went champ,chsmp
thought him gone, when there was once
touch like a child’s now.
And when I opened the door he came
quite in, and stood leaning on his cane, pale
as a ghost, his eyes bigger than ever.
“Well, of all impudence i”' said I.
He looked at me, and said be, “Madam, I
have a mother at Greenbank. I want to live
to-night.”
I, and just then it came into my mind that I
hoped my son Charles, who had' been a 301-"
“I have been wounded, as you see,” said
he. ' '
“Don’t go a showing me your hurts,” said
I. “They buy ’em, so theytold me, to go
ye, and I’m principled; sofa our clergyman,
agin giving anything, unleSs it’s through
some well organized society. Tramps are
my abomination. And as for keeping you
all night, you can’t expect that of decent
folks—go i” - '
Drusilla came to the door and said, “Let
him stay, aunty," with her lips again, but I
took no notice.
So he went, and this time did not come
back, and I sat down by the fire and listened
to the Wind and sleet,-aud felt the warm fire,
and smelt 1he baking cakes and the apples
slewing, and the tea drawing on the kitchen
fortable, but I wasn’t. Something seemed
tugging at my heart all the time.
I gave the fire a poke, andlit another can-
dle to cheer myself by, and I went to my

it up. It was an old tobacco pouch, ever so
much like the one I gave Charlie, with fringe

and my heart gave one big thump, as though
it had been turned into a hammer."
Perhaps the story was true, and he had a
mother. I shivered all over, and the fire and
the candles, and the nice comfortable smell
might not have been at all. I‘was cold and
wretched.
And over and over again I had to say to
myself what I had heard our pastor say so
often, “Never give anything to chance beg-
gars, my dear friends, always bestow your
aims on worthy persons, through well or-
ganized societies,” before I could get a bit of
comfort. And what an old fool ,I 1Was to;-

But I did not cry long, for as I sat there,
over the road, and it stopped at our_gate,
and I heard my Charlie’s voice,‘ crying,
“Hallo, mother i” ‘And out I went to the
door and had him in my arms, my great,
tall, handsome, brown sou.""And there he
was in his uniform, with his pretty shoulder
straps, and hearty as if he had never been
through any hardships. He had to leave
me to put his horse-up; and then I had by
the fire again my 'own boy. And Drusillp,
who had been cryifig—whyJ wofider-came
down all in a flutter—for-they were like
brother and sister—and he kissed her, and
she kissed him, and then away she went to
act the table, and the nice hot things smoked
on a cloth as white as snow; and'how
midst of all, I felt a frightened'feeling come
over me, and I knowed l’d turned» pale, for
Drusilla said, “What is the matter, Aunt
Fairfax f” '
I'said nothing, but it was this: Kind 0’
like the ghost of a step, going champ, champ, ‘
over the frozen snow; kind 0’ like the ghost
of a voice, saying, “Let me lie on the floor
before your fire, and give me any kind of a
crust ;” kind 0’ like seeing some one that
bad a mother, dropping down on the win-
try road, and flowing and starving to death
there. ' That was what it was, but I put
it away, and only tlfliught of Charlie.
We drew up together by the fire when tea
was done, and he told us things about the
war I’d never heard before. How the sol-
diers suffered, and what weary marches and
\
told me how his life hadbeen set upon and
he was badly wounded; and how, at the
risk of his own life, a fellow-soldier had
saved him, and carried him away fighting
his path back to camp. ‘
“I’d never have seen you but for him,”
Says my Charlie. “And if . there’s a man on
earth I lOve, it is Rob HodWily—the dearest,
best fellow. 'We’ve shared each othér’s ra-,
lions, and drank from the same canteen
many a time; and if ever I had a brother, I
couldn’t think more of him.” '
. “Why don’t you bring him home to see-
“No doubt your pocket is full of money," i
said I, “and you only want a chance to rob»
'him, for the man who Saved my boy’s life,
couldn’t be enough. Send for him, Charlie.”
But Charlie shook his head, and covered his
face with his hand.
“Mother,” said he, “I don’t know whether
Rob Hadway is alive or dead to-day. While
Iwas still ill the ranks he was taken prison-
er, and the prisons are poor piabes to live
in, mother. I’d give my right hand to be
able to do him any good ; but I can find no
trace of him. And he has a mother, too;
she lives at Greenbank—poor old lady. My
dear, good, noble Rob, the preserve; of my
life i" And I saw Charlie nearly crying.
Not to let us see the tears, he got up and
went to the mantel-piece. I did not look
around until I heard uncry.
“Great heavens l what is this ?" And I
turned, and Charlie had the tobacco pouch
the man had dropped in his hand.
, “Where did this come from ‘2” said he. “I
feel as though I had seen a ghost. I gave
this to Bob Hadway the day he saved me.
We soldiers had not much to give, “you
knOw, and he vowed never to part with it
while he lived. HOW did it come, mother ?”
(I fell back in my chair, white and cold,
and said: “A Wandering tramp left it here,
never your Rob, my dear; never your Rob. -
He must have, been an impostor. I wouldn’t
have turned away a person really in want.
Oil! no, no, no; it is another pouch, child;
nOt that, or he stole it. A tall fellow, with
blue eyes and yellow\brown hair; WOunded,
he said, and going to his mother at Green—
bank. Not your Rob.” - ,
And Charlie stood staring at me with
clinchedhands; and said be: “It was my
Rob, it was my dear old ~Rob, who saved my
life, and you have driven him out in such a
night as this, mother. My mother to use
Rob so i" ‘
“Curse me, Charlie, said I,” “Curse me, if
you like ; I’m afraid God will; Three times
he asked only for a crust and a place to lay,
and I drove him away. I—.—I—aud he’s
lying on the road now. Oh i if I had known ;
oh! if I had known.”
And Charlie caught up his hat. “I’ll find
him if he’s alive,” said be. Oh, Rob! my
dear friend.” '
And then—’4 neversaw the girl in such a
hurry—down went Drusilla on her knees, us-
if she were saying her prayers, and says
she, “Thank God, I dared to do it 1” And
says she to me, “Oh, aunt! I’ve been trem-
bling with fear, not knowing what you’d
say to me. I took him in the kitchen way.
I could not see him so faint, and hungry,
and wounded, and I put him in the spare
chamber over the parlor, and I’ve. been so
frightened all the while.”
- “Lord bless you, Drusilla,” says Charlie,”

er, went on, “And I took him up hot short-

“and I took him a candle, and a bot brick

bed in thebest chamber, Aunt Fairfax, with

After this, Charlie; not being ungrateful,

I don’t drive beggars from the door now
as I used to, and no doubt I’m imposed
upon; but this is what I say, “Better to be
imposed upon always, ’than to be cruel to
one really in need of your help. And I’ve
read my Bible better of late, and I know
who says, “Even as ye have done it unto
the least of these, ye have done it unto me.”
What a Boy May Do.
We do not want proofs that the Bible is

them in great abundance. But one proof is
now much talked of, and, indeed, is very re-
markable. Travelers, in going through the
Eastern countries, meet with inscriptions on
the rocks and stones, which, after much
labor and pains, they are able to decipher ;
and there they discover what confirms the
truth of Scripture in the clearest manner.

In a scantily-furnished chamber lies an

He fixes his eye calmly upon you, and

Now let us step into yonder mansion. Eu-

dignified personage enfolded in warm robes,
and seated in a large easy-Chair. He, too, is

Hr. Nusby, at the Instance of the Na-
tional Central Committee, goes
South to Organize Colored Seymour
and nflir Clubs.
Poss: Orms CONFEDRIT X ROADS,
(Which is in the State uv Kentucky);
' Aug. 27, 1868.
The Nashnel Central Committee, heving
notified me that I cood either pay an assess-
ment of $30 toward defrayin the expenses uv
the campaign, or go South and organize
colored Séymour and Blair Clubs, I decided
to do the‘ latter for obvus reasons, wich
are :—
1. The entire community in wich I reside
aint got 830, cepiing Bascomb and Penni-
backer, wich, being distillers and grocery
keepers, hev naturally absorbed all the capi-
tal uv the place.
2. I am fond uv travel, for elsewher I
find ungleaned fields and posters fresh. I
find men uv wich I hev never borrered, and
Whose nachers hev never bin soured by un-
fortinit lendins. I hev notist I have alluz'
done better when I aint so well known. My
zeal rather wears out my friends.
For these reasons I wont. My first stop-
pin place wuz in Western Tennessee, and
my success wuz glorious. I made known
my biznis to the leading. Dcmokrats, and
they took hold uv the idea with alacrity.
Every man uv em put on his gray uniform,
as they alluz do when, they embark into a
politikic enterprise, that ther Dimocrisy
may not be questioned, and Sallicd out With
me to electionec‘l' the niggers wich were em-
ployed onto ther planiasilens. Tiler mc-
thod wuz short, decisive and effective. The
niggers wuz midiy, but firmly given the
choice between jining a Seemore and Biare
club, and uttendin to it to heal- me speak, or
being discharged from ther employment.
E2 the planters hev it jokeler way uv shoot- '
in at site all Diggers who hcvn’t any em-
ployment, the alternative mite be considered
equivalent to deth, and with an alacrity
wich I didn’t expect, they all jined, and all
come to the meetin in the evenin. One nig-
ger,when I wuz half thro, got up and left,
sayin cz he wantedth work, he hadjined the
club, and wuz willin to be a conservativ'
nigger to hold his place, but oz for hearin‘
me clean thro he’d be —. They wood hev
finisfi him on the spot, but I bade em for?
bear. 'That nigger’s vote is Shbor, and I
don’tmind the insult he put onto'me. “Let
him go,” I sell, “we, ‘hev no votes‘to spare,
and since Bukuunon's time hevn’t bin able
to vote ded men to any extent.” Let Ho-
rasho Seemore, if.he' is elected, remember

“No, soil 1” replied the obtoose Ethiopian.
“Then, my buck, you can’t hev no medi-

“But my children” must hev it,” replied
the nigger. ’
“It makes no difference. We can’t fur-
nish medicines to Radikels. We can’t fur-
nish Diggers who ain't wiliin to vote with
us who protected em in ther infancy and
workt em for ther own good in ther ma-
toorer years with remedies, either vegetable
r mineral. J ine the club, or no quinine.”
E2 a matter uv course, the nigger listened
to reason. He wuz to wuust convinced that
the Radikels wuz opposed to his interests
in all respex, and he jined. They were
thoro in filer Dcmocrisyin that place. ' They
were determined to have perfeck yooanimi-
iy in thcr vote at the pools, and the three or
four Diggers wich positively refoozed to jine
they hung, together ’with two white Ohio
more and a Pennsylvania blacksmith,
wich persisted in tiler “loyal,” enthey called
't, principles. It had an excellent persuasive
efl‘cck upon the remaining ones. They come
'n handsOme, and jiged'witiloutn murmur.
The next.- plaCe I visited wuz' a‘ Smaller

approach. In’- this claii‘bf rtoW’n's. there is

at the heart uv the party. ~For our purposes

At this pint the entllbokiasm was un-
bounded. The Democrisy was all alive,
but ther .wuzn’t that docility among the
Diggers that I expected. These cusses, ez
soon ez they saw me, and learned my biz-

crisy did, taking ther dorgs with am. It wuz

self,'um1 in the greatest freedom of speech

agiu us we count incenjsl'y, it simplifies

I got one good meetin uv em, however, to
which I was indebted to a New York dry
goods merchant, who is here making a siren-
uous effort to reestablish his trade, wickedly
and crooci'ly broken up by the wicked on-
pleasanis which Linkcn inaugerated by re—
sisting the South in 1861. He is a conserva-
tive who is after trade, and consekcntly is
willin to, do anythin. He told me av 11 nig-
fooneral to take place in the afternoon, and
suggestid that a score uv us arm ourselves
and surround em, and keep em ‘in, whether
or no,.until I bed made my speech. “So

At this point a pert IVnulatto remarked
that he bed a word to say, and I gave place
to him. He wuz himself a conservative nig-
ger uv the most conservative kind. He
shood vote with his white brothers cheer-
fully, bnt not for the reasons which the
speaker (meanin me) hed given. He shood
do it from a higher, holler motive than any
advanced. He should do it from motives uv
consanguinity. He had alluz been a. bum-
ble nigger, believin himself to be one uv an
inferior race, but since he hed bin free he
had bin searchin his pedigree. He bed bin
agreeably surprised. He found he hed the
best blood uv Virginny coursin thro his
veins. The Confedrit candidate for Con-
gress. wuz his half-brother, haileloogy, and
he wuz closely related to two-thirds uv all
sed candidate’s supporters, bless de Lord,
and uv course he’d vote for him, for de man

wuz half nigger, but he prided hisself on de
tother half. He felt all de pride uv race uv
wich lie hed heerd so much. His ancestors
(on his fadder’s side) hed probably bin the
comrades, uv Washington, and he woodn’t
degrade hisself by mixen will-men uv no
family from the North. He wuz poor, but
his proj enitors (on his fadder’s side) wuz gen-
tlemen, bress de Lord, and he stood on
blood.
And the Diggers, bustin with 1after at the
rage wich they saw depicted onto the coun-
tenanccs up that white friends, got up to
leve. We tried to stop em, so that I cood
speck further, but ez they hed more revol-
vers than we had, and didn’t appear disin-
clined to yoose em, we didn’t attempt force.
