4A True Man.—
Such was our friend. Formed oaths good old plan,
A true, and brave, and downright honest man!
He blew no trumpet in the market place.
Nor in the church, with hypocritlc face,
Supplied with cant the lack of Christian grace;
Loathing pretense, he did with chech will
Whatothcrs talked of while their hands were still]
And while “ Lord, Lord 1” the pious tyrants cried,
Who, in the poor, their Master crucified.
His daily prayer, far better understood
In acts than word. was simply doing good.
So calm, so constant, was his rectitude,
That by his loss since we know his worth,
And feel how true aman has walked with us on earth!
SENATOR FIIIBY’S SPEECH.
Senator Ferry made an able speech, on
Tuesday, in reply to Gov. Morton, and was
warmly congratulated at its close by a num-
ber of his colleagues. We give below a
brief synopsis Of his remarks :1— ,
Mr. Ferry (Rep, Conn.,) proposed a mod-
ification of his amendment, the purpose of
which he stated to be to prevent the creating
' political disabilities than n?!’
cad & 00’s. The milk will be served “existed. He proceeded {1) reply 'to ‘ on
cism n his speech on previous do -by
the Senator from Indian: (Morton) to’ the
effect that the. Speech was. one that would
suit Southern rebels and Northern Demo-
crats remarkably well, but would carry dis-
may to the hearts of Union men in the
South. He denied the right of that Senator
to foist his own opinions upon the mate
and assume to make them the embo cut
of the views of the,whole Union pafiy
N . e
was willing that his oyvn recor as pub-
lican should be contrasted with that of the
Senator fl'om Indiana. He (Mr. Ferry)
claimed to speak for the Union men of the
South in advocating a eneral removal of
political disabilities, an referred to the Re-
publican candidates in that section in In
ort of his assertion. The Senator (III:
orton) had referred to Georgia, and was
constantly holding up that State as a place
of crime and disorder. But if the destinies
of Georgia had'been in the hands of men of
high patriotism, and not of those who had
trailed the party banner in the dust, and
whose only aim seemed to be their own pe-
cuniary advancement, affairs would have
been different He denied the stories and
telegrams manufactured by order of a vein]
press in Washington city, containing repre-
sentations'upon which no legislator could
rely. Hc.read a letter of a correspondent
(Morris K. J essup), who, he said was a well
known merchant of New York, to the efi'ect
that he had traveled through the greater.
part of Georgia, and from contact with
people and his opportunities of information,
e believed that the representations made
at Washington respecting a rebellious state
of affairs in that State were false; that he
had seen and heard nothing but a strong de-
sire to accept the situation and let by-gones
be by-gones. Mr. Ferry asserted that the
Republicup party of the North were in fa-
vor of removing political disabilities. .The
entire Republican press of New York, with
its mighty influence, and circulating from
one end of the country to the other, were in
{aver of pending bills on the subject. Now
to continue these disabilities on the statute
book‘would be repu ant to the principles
on which the Repub 'can party rested, and
he who, whether in or out of. Congress, in-
sisted upon their continuance, was no longer
a Republican as tested b the platforms of
the party. He had foug t for the rights of
the blue man, not because he was black,
but because he was a man; and now we are_
bouudto take care that the ri hts of man
himself were not lost. The bilities of
the Southern. ople were not designed as
unishments, ut as measures of great pub-
lic policy. The fifleenth amendment-was a
delusion and a snare while these disabilities
remained on the statute books, because a
blackman was not enfranchised so long as
he could not' vote for his friends and neigh-
bors. Had five hundred ears of a system

The Story of the good Little Boy Who
Did not Prosper. _ _

six ears ago) was worthy of prescrqation several
wee in print, a fair and companion piece to it
would deserve similar immortality.—Edltor.]
Once there was a good little boy b the
name of Jacob Blivens. He always 0 eyed
his parents no matter how a and unrea-
learned his book and never was late at Sa -
bath School. He would not play at hockey,
even when his sober jud ement told him it
was the most profitable ing he could do,
None of the other boys could ever make
that ho out, he acted so strange] . He
wouldn t lie no matter how convenient it
was. He said it was wron to lie, and that
Was enough for him. And ,e was so honest
that he was simply ridicu10us. The curibus,
way that Jacob had sur‘passed everything.
He wouldn’t lay marb es on Sunday, he
wouldn't rob irds’ nests, he wouldn’t give
hot es to gangrinders’ monkeys; ho
oidn t seem ‘to c any interest in any“ kind
of rational amusement. So the other boys
used-to try to reason lion]: and come to fan
understanding“ ‘him, but they couldn’t ar-
ri've- at any satisfactory conclusion; as I
said bcibre, th could only figure out saint
of vague idea at he was “ afllicted,” and
so they tookhim under their protection, and
never allowed any harm to come to him.

he read about a l[Kilarticular v good one he
turned over quic y, to the end to see what
became of him, because he wanted to travel
thousands of miles and gaze on him ; but it
wasn’t an use; that good little boy always
died in , e last chapter, and there was a
picture of the funeral, with all his relations
and the Sunday-school children standing
around the grave in pantaloons that were
too short, and bonncts that were too .large,
and everybody crying into haudkerchiefs
that had as much as a yard and ~ a half .of
stufi'in them. How» alwa a hooded ofi‘

This Was the am ition of Jacob. e wished
to be put into. a Sunday-school book. It
made him feel a little uncomfortable some-

'~ without any picture of his funeral in the
back part, of it. It couldn’t be much of a
Sunday-school book that couldn’t tell about
the advice he gave to the community when
he was dying. So, at hat, of course he had
to make up his mind to do the best he could
under the circumstances—to live right, and
hang on as lon as cold, and have his
dying speech a read when his time came.
But, somehow, nothing ever went right
with this good little boy; ’notbing ever
turned out with him the way it turned out
with good little boys ,in the books. They
always had a gdbd time, and the bad boys
,hndthe broken-logo; but irrthia-cnse there-
was a screw loose somewhere, and it all
happened the other way. When he found
Jim Blake stealing apples, and went under
the tree to read to him about the bad little
boy who fell out of a neighbor’s apple tree,
and broke his arm, Jim fell out of the tree
-too, but he fell on him and broke his arm,
and Jim wasn’t hurt at all. Jacob couldn’t
understand that. There wasn’t anything
in the books like it.
And once, when some bad boys pushed a
blind man over in the mud, and Jacob ran
to ,help him up and receive his blessing, the
blind man did not give higi any blessing at
all, butswhacked him over the head with
his slick and said he would like to catch
him shoving him aiain and then pretending
to help him 11 . T 18 was not‘. in accord-
ance with an}? of the books. Jacob looked
them an over to see.
One thing that Jacob wanted to do was
to find a lame dog that hadn’t any place to
stay, and was hungry and persecuted, and
bring him home and pet him, and have that
dog’s imperis'hable atilude. And . at last
he found one on was happy; and ~he
brought him home and fed him, but when
he was going to pet him the dog flew at him
and tore all the clothes off him except those
that were in front, and made a spectacle of
him that was astonishing. He examined
authorities, but he could not understand the
matter. It was of the same breed of dogs
that was in the books, but it acted very dlf-
ferently. Whatever this boy did, he got
into trouble. The very things the boys in
the books got rewarded for. turned out to
be the moat unprofitable thingshe could in-
vest in.
Once when on his way to Sunday school
he saw some bad bo 5 starting off pleasur-
ing in a sailboat. e was was filled with
consternation, because he knew from his
reading that boys who went sailing on Sun-
invariably got drowned. So hefiran
out on a raft to warn them, but a log turned
with him and slid him into the river. A

the most unaccountable thing about it was
that the bad boys in the boat had a good
time all day, and then reached home alive
and well, in the most surprising manner.
Jacob Blivens said there was. nothing like
dumfounded. _
When he got well he was a little discour-
aged, but be resolved to keep on trying,
anyhow. He knew that so for his experi-
ences wouldn't do to go in a book, but he
hadn’t yet reached the allotted term of life
for good-little boys, and he hoped to be able
to make a record yet, if he could hold on till
his time .was fully up. If everything else
failed, he had his dying speech to fall back
on. . - - .
He gamma. his authorities, and found
that it was now time for him to goto- sea as
a cabin bo . He called on a ship captain
and made application, and when the,
captain asked for his . reocmmendatlons he
proudly drew out a tract and pointed to the
words : “ To Jacob Blivens, from his art‘-
fectionate teacher.” But the captain was a
coarse, vulgar man, and-said, “ Oh, that be
blowed i that wasn’t any proof that he knew
’ how to-wasb dishes or handle a slush bucket,
and he gueswd he didn’t want him." This
was altogether the most extraordmary thing
that had ever happened to Jacob in all his
life. A compliment Rom a teacher, 'on a
tract, had ne’verfailed to move the tender-
eat emotions of ship captains and open the
we to all ofiicea of, honor and profit in
their gifts—it never had in any book that
ever he had read. He could hardly believe
his senses. .

(“a 'm m” can eggs? which they had
ogcthcr in long procession, bud were
going to ornament with empty Litre-glyce-
rinc cans made fast to their tails. Jacob s
heart was touched. He sat down on one of
those cans—for he never minded grease
when duty was before Lima—and he took
hold of the foremost dog by the collar, and
-turned his rcproving eye on Wicked Tom
Jones. But not at that moment Alderman
MeWeiler,f lof wrath,stepped in. All the
bad boys ran away, but Jacob Bhvens rose,
concious of his innocence, and began one
of’those stately little Sunday-school book
speeches which always commence wrth
“0h sir," in dead opposition to the fact
that’no boy or bad, ever starts a re-
mark with “ h, air 1” But the Alderman
never waited'to hear the rest. He took Ju-
cob Blivens b the ear and turned hm

the fist of his hand; and in an instant that
good little boy shot out through the roof

these things in the books. He was perfectly '

as for young Jacob Blivens,‘ he never got a
chance to make his last dying speech after
all his trouble fixing it up, unless he made
it to the birds, because, although the bulk
of himcame down all right in u tree-top in
an adjoining county, the rest ofhim was up-
portioned among four townships, and so
they had to hold five inquests on him, to
find out whether he was dead or not, and
how it occurred. You never saw 9. hey
scattered so.* ' - -
Thus perished the good little boy who did
the best he could,'but didn’t come out ac
cording to the books. Every boy who ever

case is truly remarkable. It will probably
never be accounted for. ,

‘Wlaut is it that has llladc New England
What She is 'I'o-day. ,
_ Just previous to the great eru tion of the
07]] war it_was my fortune to climb anoth-
er ‘hill of_ nylon in one of the central ’c’oun-
ties of Virginia. The panorama of‘natnre-
was even grander than that which- enfolds
the lovely valley of the Connecticut. For
along from- North to South,like a huge wall
bullded.by the gum' ts and flanked with
dream y towers and buttresses of purple, ran
mantle of the Blue Ridge. ' On the distant
slopes, and ,cra‘gs' jthe solemnold forests slum-
borad and nodded to the wind of May“ Fan
to'tbe eastward was thefw'hite winding rib-
bon of the James River, and nearer, 'the
broad but turbid current of the Rapidan.
A single town was visible upon the horizon ;
the remainder of the scene was composed
of broad plantations. 0n theSe the young
crops of wheat and tobacco diaplayed their
verdant leafsge. The peach trees wore their
rosy bloom; the air was musical with the
son of thee and happy birds, and flagrant
W: the Wealth of unnumbered tribes of
forest flowers. Thus did nature lavish her
fairest charms around that well-worn bill
of Monticello, the resting place of J efl‘erson.
But how difi'erent were the moral aspects
of the scene from that bright New England
prospect! The dearth of villages revealed
the lack of enterprise. ' The abscence of
schoolhouses betrayed the deeper lack of
education. These plantations, so rich and
ample, spoke of thousands of wretched hu-
man beings driven to ceaseless toil, like ox-
en, with the lash: In those aristocratic
mansrons. rising up proudly out of the
squalid huts of worse than paupers, the
pampered owners were even then, on that
sweet Ma'y morning of 1860, plotting the
blackeat crime, save one, which ever stained
the page, of history—the crime of assassina-
ting the accumulated freedom of all the ages,
that human bondage might be eternal.
Whatmads that moral picture so different
from' the bright prospect of New England I
. The Virginians came with all their 1:3va
and institutions shut up in a box, by order
of King James, with strict orders not to
open it till they landed, and 10! when it
was opened not a single element of popular
liberty was to be found in it. The'Pilgrims
fashioned their own institutions, and had
provided for their civil and religious rights
before they left the cabin of the Mayflower,
not in the name of the king, but in the
name of God. The Virginians came across
the ocean to chase the mire e of wealth,—
the gorgeous dream of [he puniard. * ‘ *
But, on the other hand, the Pilgrims came
with the loftiest purpose recorded in the an-
nals of the race. Inspired with an undying
love for liberty, mindful of the welfare of
posterity, and with souls conclous of a
sublime destiny under the favor of the great
Leader whom they served, they sailed, to
these shores. -x- a- s * at v‘
This glorious aspiration brou ht them
across the stormy ocean, and w en they
landed on the snow-clad rdcks, their first
act was to kneel down and take possession
of the continent in the name and for the
sake of'Christ. * * * - * , *
No sooner had the Pilgrims constituted
their Church and built its house of worship,
than the ounded the Free School, to be
the towe f education.
A governor of Virginia is recorded to
hamnfleredhiaihanksgiving to God that
in that commonwealth there were no prist-
ing presses nor free schools. John Elliot,
apostle to the Indians in a prayer before
the General Court of Massachusetts, in 1645,
t‘ius reversed the desire of‘Berkely : ‘.‘Lord !
for schools everywhere among us! That
our schools may flourish.” * *
These, then, .are the institutions of New
England—the free Church, the free school,
and the free commonwealth. These are the
strong towers, the lofty bulwarks of the
Zion which the Pilgrims builded for the
generations following, beautiful for situa-
tion, the joy of the whole earth. *
These are the New England institutions.
Are they-worth preserving? Are they worth

Sunday Schools Versus Bum Selling.
A missionary of the American Sunday
School Union, in Tennessee, writes:
7“ About two months since I organized on
the Union plan, a very flourishing Sunday
School, where there had been a. sort of sec-
tarian school a few monts last year, but had
frozen up in the winter. Nearly all the
families of the place became interested, and
a committee of younglladies was appointed
to solicit contributions for the purchase of a
Sunday School library. , .
“ In their mission 1 ey called at one of
the whisky-shops. The bar-keeper offered
them a donation of a .bottle of whisky,
which, of course, was refused. He hadtwo
or three children who attended the school.
When these told him what a
was, and how much the oved it, imd
wanted to give something or the purchase
of new books, he became interested, and
resolved to abandon his wicked business of
rum-selling, and ave $5 to the Sunday
School library. ark the results. The
moral improvement of the community has
become so great that every grog—shop has
been closed. - God has gracious] poured
out His reviving spirit upon the p ace, and
more than fifty persons have found the
knelt beside the little Sunday School child,
each supplicating the pardon of sin.
“ The reformation of several young men,
who had become very dissipated, is very
hopeful evidence of permanent good as the
fruit of the Sunday School and temperance
enterprises."—Temp. Banner. ;

J. BENNE’I‘ TYLER, in a series of articles
'in the Sunday School Workman on “Sunday.
schools for the Million,” gives the following
sketch of frontier work in Southeastern
Missouri: ' .
“Rev' W. P. Pairson, missionary of th
AmericanSunday; School Union, rode up
to a rude cabin, and while fastening his
horse to what was the merest apology for-
a fence, discovered a small boy, one of a
large group, making fast time for the open
door,.shonting as he can: Marm, marm,
there is a fellar out that, and he’s a hitchin’
his boss, and he’s it comin in.’ A tall gaunt
woman made her appearance at the door
in Mgh'ge apparel, and taking in the situa-
tion,bids the Stranger, ‘Come in and take a
cheer.’ The missionary inquired for Es-
quire Perkins. Not finding him in, he told
the dome, in a few words, that he was de-
sirous of starting a Sunday school in the
schoolhouse hard by. . _
“ ‘Well, stranger,’ said she, ‘lt ain’t no
kind 0’ use. I’m a Methodist, and my old
man he’s a Methodist, and we ain’t asham-
ed o’nt, neither; and we have been Meth-
odistS nigh on thirty year. The presrdmg
elder told my'old man he {High}: to start a
Sunday school; and he tried it. But the
ne" hbors thought yvc was agointr to tr to
m; c ’99: Methodists, and they? won d’nt
tist, and he tried to run a Sunday school;
the beacon wanted to get ’em under the
water. And I told ’em it would’nt hurt
their brats if the was put under water
once in a while. ell, you see, he could’nt
make it go; Then there’s the Hardshells,
thcv are ag’in Sunday schools anywa .
Then there was a new comer, and nobo y
knowed yvhat he was- and he got along
pretty well till one Sunday he brought a
book called ‘Parvarsion (Confession) of
Faith.’ Well, my old man did’nt know
what that was, so he asked the presiding
class, and he said it was Calvin; and the
worst kind ’0 Calvin. And the folks found
it out and they would’nt send any more. I
tell you what it is, stronger, if you could
get these folks to leave their Methodistism,
and theis Baptistism, and their perversion
of failhism at hum, maybe you mought
have a Sunday schoo .”
This was precisely what the missionary
proposed to do. The school- was started
is alive and flourishing to-duy, and is the
most precious boon ever conferred on that
God-forsaken neighborhood.
