Certain citizens Of Mercer county lately
held a meeting, styled by the President and
Secretary, 'large and respectable" in rela-
ton 10 the colored people of that county
The proceedings are published in the Ohio
Statesman, by request, but the editor dlssents
from both their spirit and letter. The fol-
lowing three resolutions will show the res
pectability OF the meeting.
"ReSOiVed, That we Will not live among
negroes, and as We have settled here first, we
have fully determined that we will resist the
settlement of blacks and mulattoes IN this
county 10 the full extent Ut our means, the
60yonet not erccpte6.'
"ReSoiUed, That the blacks of this county
be, and they are hereby respectfully request
ed 10 leave the county on or before the first
day of March, 1877, in case Of their neglect
or refusal to comply with Tins request, we
pledge ourselves 10 reHiOve them, peatsGJLy i
zoe can, torciJly if zoe must"
'ResOlved, That We who are here assemble
ed, pledge ourselves not TO employ, OF trade
with any black or mnlatto person, in any
manner whatever, or to permit them to have
any grinding done at our mIlis, after tho first
day of January next"
This is precisely the same devilish spirit
as that which in Hancock county, Illinois,
visits with bloody vengeance any citizen who
ventures to employ IA Mormon. Unless re-
buked, and quelled in its beginning, it will
make Mercer county as vile a hell upon
earth, as that doomed county in our sister
State. The resolutions above are rutidnly in
tone, and in intention. A few peaceable,
wcll-disposed colored people have been llv-
ing in Mercer for many years. Some Of them
are among the early settlers. They have
purchased lands, built houses and raised fam
lilies there. These people are to be driven
out from their possessions al tie point 4 tn

Short Patent Sermon,

My hearers, if woman he tickle and
changeable, the men are more so; or AT
any rate, their changes are more marked
and conspicuous. Woman is changing all
the while just enough to render her com
pany agreeable; aud it with her sweets we
are made 10 parlake of the acid and bitter,
she is no less sweet on that account. As
she is to-day, so she will be found to.mor-
row, the same mixture Of sugar, spice and
lemon juice, but sometimes differently pro-
porlioned. But MAN you don't know how
to take him. To-day he IS all sweetness,
tomorrow all bitterness, aud the next day
an insipidity, nothing but slolh Or greasy
dish water.
My dear femnes--bc careful how YOU
trust those deceitful creatures called men !.
Too many Of them have their hearts in
their pockets. Ayarice eats big holes in
their affection, and their love Is but brush.
wood blaze Of passion that burns brightly
upon the altar Of liymen; but, soon after
ends in smoke and ashes. When they get
down on their marrow bones before YOU
clasp their hands ia rapturous agony;
mingle tears with their smiles; put their
paws upon their hearts; and swear that
without you, heaven itself were hell, and
hell itself Of no consequence; and vow
eternal consiancy--consider well, then,

I'm twenty-five.


'Tis.wond'rous strange, how great the change,
Since was in my teens;
Then had beaux, and billet-doux,
And joined the gayest seems;
But lovers now have ceased to VOW
No way they now oontriye,
To poison, drown, or hang themselves,
Because I'm twenty
Once, il the night were e'er so bright,
meier abroad would roam,
Without" the bliss, the honor miss,
or seeing you sale home"
But now 60, through rain or snow,
Pursued, and scarce alive
Through all the dark without a spark
Because I'm twenty Eve!

About my health 50 fail;
And thought ride would help my side,
And turn my cheek less palei
Bot now, alas! If am ILL.,,
None cares that revive,
And my pale cheek in vain may speak,
Because I'm twenty-five!
Now ii ride improves my side,
Pm forced to take the stage;
For that is DENIED quite proper for
A person of my age;
And then no hand is offered me,
To help me out alive
They think it won't hurt me to fall,
Recause I'm twenty-five.
Oh dear-'tisqueer that every year
lmsighted more and more,
For not "a beou pretends TO show
Ills head within our door,
Nor ride nor card, nor soft address,
My spirits now revive;
And one might near as well be dead,
