The noblest lesso l taught by life
To every great, heroic soul
Who seeks to conquer in the strife,
Is self-control. -.

Truth grants no sceptre in‘the hand
Where pride and passion hold the sway ,-
IIc who with honor would command
Must first obey.

An honest doubt is oft the seed
or truth—that bright, celestial flower,—
And weakness,through .some noble deed;
Is changed to power.

. (“fish is in the State uv Kentucky.)
' December 1, 1878. l
The Radikcls uv the North are gitlin ex-
cited over the “solid south,” and are agin
commencing to pcrsekoot_ us uv the former,

slave States, wich made a struggle forcifr'

rites, but wuz crushed out by the iron heel

of despotism under the tirent Linkin.

Wat does the North want? That’s the
question—wot does if demand uv us?

Suppose the South hez sent up a solid
Dcmikratic congressional delegashun? Sup-
pose there ain‘t a _mizable Radlkal from
any uv the Southern States in Congris?
Suppose—but wat’s the yoose uv suppo~
sin? Does the North know how we are
fixed ? Does the North know that that wo
uv the South are livin among a people wich
'yoosed to furnish us with bread and butter
and summers at Saratogy ? Does the North
know that the tirent Linkin emancipated
them people, and‘ put ’em out from under
our control, and that. they‘are in condishin
to do ez they please? Nay, more: Does
the North know that them people kin vote
and hev jist ez much to say about politics
and things ez we hev? ‘

These things shood be considered. The
North shood remember that we uv the
South—I meen the white men—are asenl
sitive people, and we hev feelins. We can’t
git down to the level uv a common man to
wunst. We hev bin cradled in the lap uv
luxury. We hev ben yoosed to hevin our
work (lens for us, and hev bin accustomed
toIlivin by the swet uv other people's
brows. It is not to be supposed that we.
kin accept so radikel a change cz bein
compelled to' go to work ourselves without
a protest. ‘ .

We make our protest in our ovvn way;

By the result uv the war the nigger wuz
given the ballot. All ritc.. He hez the
ballot. We .don’t believe he ought to hev
it, but ez the fifteenth amendment gives it
to him, we accede. We hate the amend
meat, but tzit is law we yeeld. We are
law-abidcn citizens. And so we giv to the
African rites, and lay down quietly to him.
He kin vote e7. much ez he pleeses, and ez
freely ez anybody. Kin the ‘North ask any-
thing more ? .

Still we hev our way of regulatin wat we'
consider evils. Here in the Crossroads our
method it very simple. _ '

Joe BigleIr and Pollock wuz off buyin a
carload of mules, They wuz not here on
elecshun day, and‘consekently we wuz not
in terror uv Bigler’s revolver, or Pollock’s
tongue. We knowd they cood not get
back in time to vote, or even to marshal of
the five hundred niggers that hev the fran.
chise these voles. Therefore we perpos-

- ed‘tosend up a complete and eleen Demo-
"cratic ofllshary from this precinct, and at
the same tiine obey the law. We respect
the law. ‘

The trigger hez the rite to vote. We un-
derstand lhathnd respect it. But, there
must be limitasbuns. He may vote-the
Ilaw‘ sez that—but the law don’t say. how_
he shel vote. That is for us. We deter-
mine that. Wc are the roolin class, and
the inferior class must be guided by the
aoopeerior intellect that don’t like to work,
Ef we cood hey trusted the nigger we wood
hev done it, but we coodent We knowed
he had a predilecshiim for mdikelism, and
wuz ez a idol, opposed to .appropriashuns.
He cood not be trusted with the ballot with
out gidansc.. '

What 'did we do? Joe Bigler and P01-
lock wuz away buyin mules, and the nig-
gers were without their leaders. Then we
organized. ' We notfied em that they shood
vote—that we didn’t want to interfere
with their rites, hilt "that they must vole
according to our; noshens.. We. sed to em (—2
follows: ' ‘ _ .

"You are entitled to the ballot under the
laws. “’e don’t approve. uv the laws. but
they is laws and we shel respect em, For
be it it from us to break laws, or in any

way interfere in ther proper execooshen.

You shel vote. You shel exercise the rites
uv citizens. Every one ov'you who wants
to vote step up. We will give yoo a Dim-
ocratic ticket and yoo shel vote it. Ef yoo
refooze' to vote that ticket we shall imme-I
diately perceed to plow the top uv yoor bed
off. We want the utmost freedomuv Opin-

yun, and the ballot-box shel be- inviolate, »

pervided yoo vote rite. Wé' shel say wet
I isrité. New don’t go and complane that

yoo hev bin refooseId the privileges uv an

Amerikcn citizen.” '

The niggers came down :and attemptid
to vote. We hed shot guns and navy revolv-
ers and stood at the poles. Ez they filed
we demanded a rite ov the tiltkits they
perposed to vote, and of it wus our tickket
it. went in,all site. EfIit wuz anyotherlik-
hot, the presumpshus retch wich offered it
bed the top uv his bed blowd of immejit-

‘WBZ warnin to the» others. We coodent
Stay foolin .about wen our rites wuz in;

‘ valved. _ ' , ,
' Uv course the result ‘wuz 'a clean Dimo-
cratic vote. There wuz no Radikel tikkets
in' the box, which shows. that the South hez
but. one sentiment. Whatever our views is
they are yoonanimous, and.that is all there
is about it. Let the North look at our poll

' lists, and the North will get a clear idee oz to
wat the South reely desires.

I suppose there will be _a bowl about the
fact that there wuz a yoonauimous Dime-

" cratic vote at;the Cross Roads, when iris
well known'that there are 500 niggers in
the precinct wich wood vote the Abolishn,
Radikel tikkit. I suppose that it will be

made the excoose for another raid and an-.

other demand for violent measures agin
the sufferin South. Let it be so. Ef the
. North supposes that we shel lay still and
let niggers offset our votes, when we want
the Southern war debt paid, and a system
of Southern internal improvements inog-
gerated, the North is mistaken. _ The
Southern Dimecrat knowa how lo-protect
himself.’ He obeys laws, ' pelvided the laws

JULIA M. WEED, Trolls.
Norwalk, December 10, 1878.

 

The Stamford Advocate has a long, double
leaded leader, advocating the choice of
Gov, Minor as Senator. We make the fol-
lowing extract :—. -

* * * Some kind friends (of course
from disinterested motives)’ have indus-
triouslycirculated' a report that it wastlie
intention .of Go'vernor Minor’s friends in
(bi: county to give him only a complimentary
vo e. '

The report is false. The men who say
it knows better. The friends of Governor
Minor intend to vote . for him, first, last and
all the time. . '

They know ‘the man., Graduated at
Yale; educated to the bar; entrusted with
the dearest and most important interests
of his fellow citizens during a long, suc~
cessful and honorable practice; an able
and upright Judge; connected for many
years with important business and manu-
facturing interests, having-devoted him-
self with untiring industry to‘a thorough
understanding of the tariff and laws, state
and national, affecting the manufacturing
and business interests of the State, be
combines the ability of the-lawyer and
skillful debater, with the experience and
sagacity of the accomplished business man,
a gentleman of wealth and culture; no
purer, truer man can be .found in the com-
monwealth, and at the snipe-time he is easily
accissible tothe humble'sl: workman in the
ran 1.

The people know his record. and while
we have no occasion to give thewhole of it,
as made by his public life, as though what
we have reiterated needed corroboration
when the republican press of the State
conceded,"
still it is to. be borne in min that he has
been honored with membership in the
General Assembly eight times, serving seven
terms in the House and once in the Senate
and that to him, more than to any other
man, by far. the State is indebted for the

more to restore to the ballot box the rights
of which it had been robbed by corruption
and fraud, than could have been accom—
plished by any other measure. Mr. Minor
introduced the bill, and carried it from
stage to stage against the most determined
opposition, led by Senator Eaton, then a
member of the House, our legislature being
convinced of its reasonablenessand exped-
iency by the cogent reasons whichGovernor
Minor presented in the course of the de-
bate in advocating its provisions. . It is safe
to say that if this or a similar lawhad not
been in existence at the last election, the
republican part would not be called on to
elect the next ' enator.

He was Judge of the Superior Court from
1868 to 1873, and it is well known that he
performed his judicial duties with distin-
guished ability, and that ' his resignation,
regretted both by “bench and bar," alone
Breventedhis continued service in the of-

ce. -. . ' .
His gubernatorial, legislature and judicial
experience demonstrates beyond cavil, his‘
fitness for this high ofilcc.‘ There was high
recognition of his qualification for minis.
terlal service, when President Lincoln, in
1864, appointed him Counsel-General of
the United States at Havana, which office
he resigned in 1867, good republican as he
was. and always has been, because he was
not in accord with the policy of'President
Johnson. _ ' ‘

Washington letter says ': Two were first ap-

pointcd'in the treasury by~Secretary Chase-
in 1862. They entered the office ofcomp.
troller of the currency vat $600'pcrannum.
Their work was the cutting and trimming
of United States currency which was is-
sued in sheets. The ladies gradually spread.
through all the ofilces, and now there are
over 1,200 on the pay rolls. The majority

are employed in the bureau of engraving
,and printing and in the government print-I
.ing office, feeding presses,etc. They excel as

gers turning them with great rapidity and
exactness. .They'are said also to detect
counterfeits quicker than men; ‘but in the

Iers and copyist receive $900 per annum; a

several $51,600, and one lady in the-internal
revenue $1,800 per annum. They are for
theImost 'part refined and cultivated, many
of them move in the best circles of society
and many are widows and daughters of the
heroes of the late war. One is the daughter
ofa commodore and widow of anaval of-

corps commander killed in the battle; a
third is a daughterIof a late chief justice
of the supreme court. Many other instan-

Look for Her..-

The true girl has to be sought for. She
does not parade herself to show goods. She
is not fashionable. Generally she is not rich,
but oh, what a heart she has when you find
her! so large and pure and womanly. When
you see it you wonder if those things out-
side were. women. If you gain her love.
your two thousand are millions. She’ll not
ask for a carriage or--a firstoclass house.
She’ll wear simple dresses and turn them
if necessary, with no vulgar magnificat to
frown upon- her economy. She'll keep
everything neat and nice in your sky par-
lor, and give you such a welcome when you

come home that you will think your parlor

higher than ever. . She‘ll entertain true
friends on a dollar, and astonish you with
the new thought of how little happiness de-
pends on money. She’ll make you love
home (if you don't you are a brute) and
teach you how to pity while you scorn a
poor fashionable society that thinks itself
rich and vainly. tries to think itself happy.
Now, do not, I pray you, say any more
“I can’t afford to marry."- Go, find the
true woman, and you can. Throw away
that cigar, burn up that switch cane, be
sensible yourself and seek your wife in a
sensible way. ' ‘ ‘

General Sherman, talking the other day
about a speech he made in the Spotted Tail
council-at- the North Platte; said- to are
porter of The Republican of St. Louis;—
“When I was'in Paris I met‘ Stanley in
company with a number of gentlemen. He
was desci’jibing his route in search of Liv-
ingstone, when I placed the map of Africa
before him and asked him to trace out his
route. Commencing at Senegambia, be
traced the route, pointing out the I-location
of the different tribes. [He came to cer-
tain tribes Who were warlike and calling them
together made a. threatening speech. ‘That
speech’ said Stanley to me,’ ‘was the very
speech in the precise words, except 'sub-
stitution or names,_ which you made at

and Spotted Tail. 1 waS‘there,‘ general,
and never forgot the speech,’- I was surpris-
ed enough at, the statement, not imagining
for an instant that African Stanley was the
same. Stanley who accompanied us as a

' Taylor’s brilliant: feats of.ol’f hand criti-

cism ;— -- .

About two year ago, two large octavo
velumes, containing poems by Victor Hugo,
in the French, arrived by steamer and were
placed in Mr. Taylor's bonds on Thursday
evening. For some reason it was desirable
that the criticism should appear in the Tn}
tune of the following Saturday, and of— course
the copy Ihad to be in the' printers’ hands
early on’Friday 'night. Mr. Taylor’s health
was bad at the lime, and he also had in the
meantime to deliver a lecture in Brooklyn
and another in New York. He finished his
review in time on Friday ’night and it ap-
peared in the Tribune the following morn-
ing, covering more than two-thirds of a
page. I: was equal to any of his literary
criticisms, and surpassed any analysis of
-Hugo’s genius that I have ever seen, One
remarkable feature of the review was over
a column of translation into English poetry
from the original, includingIseveral lyrics
and idyls so beautifully done thatthey seem...

ed like original poems in the English.

Transcript. _
An Italian gentleman with a nice little in-
come had a nice little servant girl, who said
to him one morning: “0, if you please, won't
you give me three francs to buy a lottery
ticket with. I dreamed last, night that No.
41,144 was going to dlaw~the capital prize,
and I wantto buy that number.”
He gave the girl the three francs, and,ncxt
day, on happening to look at the report of
the drawing, saw that No. 41;144 had drawn
the capital prize of 518,652,853 lire, or, to
speak more accurately, $100,000. _
Returning quietly to the house he conceal-
ed his emotion and said to the servant girl,
“Susan, I have long observed with approba-
lion, your piety, beauty, modesty, skill in the
art of cookery, and other good qualities cal-
culated to adorn the highesl station. Be mine.

'Let me lead you to the hymcuial altar. No

delay. Just as you are.” .
“Honest Injun ?” said the blushing virgin.
“You bet. I svvear by yonder silver spoon
that tips with beauty all the fruit .pie'top’f—

ter in the light of your turtle dove.”

“Hasten then, Susan; put on your bonnet
and shawl and let us take a walk aroundthe
blockto the only friar's cell, where we shall
be made one.”

In a few moments the bride-elect returned
clad in red, red shawl, with a black velvet
bonnet trimmed with sunflowersand 176502721
Ii‘ng'a. In a few minutes more the ceremony
had been performed, and the twain were one.
They returned to the house, where the-hug.
band carelessly, took .up the paper and said
with a well-counterfeitcd start of surprise.

“Darling, everything is bright for us upon
our wedding day. You remember the ticket
in the lottery that you dreamed. about and_I

, Biblomaniacs never say die. Mr. Irving
Browne remarked to a Troy Times reporter
jilst after thc sale of books in this city was

ed more than 50 per cent, of their actual

last housed sold a few months ago for just
about half its cost, and then the purchaser
had. to lay out a large sum of money, on
it. My books were never taxed, and by
the possession.of them I' was enabled to
earn a snug sum every year by my w.i flags,
and at the end 'of twenty 3 cars they bring me
reckoning on 'gold basis, at least 3‘5 -pcr
cent. of their cost. My friends will thus
see that a man is net necessarily a fool
for loving books.” gSome editor' having
devoted a column article to Mr. Browne’s
case of biblomania he replies as follows:
“That's all‘ right; Iii. doesn’t hurt. my feel.

write similar essays on ,‘slcck lunatics,’

One less to struggle through' 'l' I

The end of life seems very near -
When one is fifty-two.

But I must own I‘ve few regrets
For those things I once lovedbeot;
Tney’ve lost their charm for me, andnow.
I long to be at rest, ‘

I wduld not live life o‘er again,
To lead the tame I've led,
To toil so hard, most every day,
I’ To win a little bread. ’

Who have never known the want of bread,
When their time to 'go dram M.

“Look Under the Dead Loaves."

Beneath the dry and withered leaves
0n the hillside gray and here,

We find the pale arbutus flowers,

All dewy wet ‘witli‘Api-il showers,
Dewy and sweet andfair.

Unseen their beauty 'neath the leaves,
Till the e'ager outstretched hand .

Removes the leafy canopy,

Then slowly clustering, we spy
Blossoms—a fragrant band.

A rough exterior often hides " -
- From the gaze of-passers-by.
A heart of trbest, purest. worth ;
A noblesoul of heavenly birth,
Fragrant—its ministry.

But when we search beneath the leave}-
The forbidding, rude disguise;-
We find the blossoms fair and sweet;
We find a soul for glory meet,
Which underneath them lies.

“The Sunrise Never Fall ed as
Yet."
Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods regretfully ;
From the far lonely spaces, slow.
Withdraws the wistful afterglow.

 

 

So out of his the splendor dies;
80 darken all the happy skies;

So gathers twilight, cold and stern,
'But overhead the planets burn ;_ -

And up the east another day

Shall chase the bitter dark away ;

What though our eyes with tears be wet,
The sunrise never failed as yet.

The blush of dawn may yet. restore
Our light and hope and joy once more.
Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed usyet.

' 'rna VILLAGE sromr.

The old Hercynian Forest sent
His weather on the plain;
Wahlwiuk'el’s orchard’s .wi'ithed and bent

In whirls of wind and rain. '
Within her nest, upon the roof,
Forvgenerations tempest-proof,
Wahlwinkel’s stork with her young one! by.
When the hand of the hurricane tore any
The house and the home that held them.

Tue storm paSsed by; the happy trees

‘ Stood up and kissed the sun ';

And from the birds new melodies

Came fluttering one by one. ‘

The stork, upon the paths below,_

Went sadly pacing to and fro,

-With dripping plumes and head demo-ed,
For the thougl t of thesptiled ancestral null,
' And the old, inherited honor.

“Behold her now!” the throstle s: in;
From out the linden tree; _ I

“Who knows from what a line she sprang,
Beyond, the unknown sea ?”

“If ‘she could sing, perchance her ~tale
Might move us,” chirruped the nightingale,
“Sing ‘1’” She can only rattle and creek!"
Whistled the bullfincb,with silver beak,
Within the wires of his prison. ‘

And all birds there, or loud or low,

Were one in scoff and scorn;

But still the stark paced to and fro,

As utterly forlorn. _

Then suddenly, in turn of eye,

He:saw a poet-passing by,

And the thOught in his brain was an arrow of
. fire,

' That pierced her with passion and pride and

- ire
_ And gave her a voice to answer.
She raised her head and shook her wings
And faced the piping crowd. " '
“Best service,” said she, “never sings,
- True honor is not loud. ’. , _
My kindred carol not, nor boast;
Yet we are loved and welcomed most.
And the hand that buttons .is held necursed I
In every home, of Wahlwinkel.’ '

“Beneath a sky forever fair,

And with a summer and.

The land I come from smiles—and there

My brotherwas a god 3 '

My nest upon a temple stands .

And sees the shine of desert lands; .
And the palm and the tamarislr 'cooImy-Iingl.
When the blazing beamot the boonday lingo.
And I drink from the holy river in. ;-;;."

“There I am sacred even as here; "
Yetdare I not be lost, . _ .
When meads are bright, hearts fullof cheer,
At blithesome Pentecost. . ‘ .

Then from mine obelisk I depart,

, Guided 'by so'mtt‘iing in my heart,

And sweep in a-line over Libyan sands I
To the blossoming olives of Grecian lauds,
And rest on the Cretan Ida! '

“Parnassus sees me as‘I sail;

‘ I cross the Admin brine;

The distant summits {ale and fall. .
Dalmatian, Appennine; . '

The Alpine snows beneath men gleam

I see the yellow Danube stream!

But Ihaston on uitl my spur. wings fall
Where I bring a biasing to each and all.

She dropped her head and spake no more :
The birds on either hand " "

San: louder, lustier than before-—

They could not understand.” " .

Thus mused the stark, within» of beak ;

They have their voices, I my thought;

And they were never in Egypt.” ‘
