THE BLACKLAWs OF OHIO.

Ohio has at last done herself the credit of
repeating her absurd, inhuman Black Laws.
A bill to repeal them, and to establish schools
for colored children, introduced by Mr.. Morse,
a Free Soil Representative from the Reserve,
passed the House on the 30th of January, by
a vote of So to 10. 1t has also passed the
Senate, and is now probably become law.
The following is short synopsis of the bill +:
Section L. Provides for the creation of school
districts for schools, and creates the Office OF
trustees for them.
Sec 2. Provides for the election of trustees
by the colored taxpayers.

WONDERFUL STRUCTURE OF THE
HEART

The wisdom of the Creator, says a distin-
guished anatomist, is in nothing seen more
glorious than in the heart. And how well
does it perform its office An anatomist who
understood its structure, might say before
hand that it would play; but. from the COM
plexity of mechanism, and the delicacy of ma
ny of It's parts. he must be apprehensive that
it would always be liable to arrangement, and
that it would soon work itself out. Y et does
this machine go on night and day for eighty
years together, at the rate of hundred thou
sand strokes every twenty-four hours, having
at every stroke great resistance to overcome;
and it continues this action for this length of
time without disorder or WEAKNESS. That it
should continue this action for this length of
time without disorder is Yonderful that it
should be capable of continuing it without
WEAKNESS is still more astonishing. Rest
would have been Incompatible with its func-
tons. While it slept, the whole machinery
must have stopped, and the animal inevitably
perish. 1t was necessary that it should be
made capable of working forever, without the
cessation of moment, without the least de-
gree of WEAKNESS. 1t is so made; and the
power of the Creator in so constructing it,
can In nothing be exceeded but by His wis
dom.

CHICAGO FLOOD.

Never before has Chicago been visited by
SO great calamity as this day was witnessed
Our harbor exhibits scene of the most ter
rible devastation. Ia the confusion which
prevails, it would be idle TO attempt to give
the details, but we do not believe it is too
much to say that one half the shipping in the
harbor has been destroyed, and every bridge
upon the river has been swept away.
About 8 O'Clock this morning, compact
dam OF ice, raised two or three feet above the
surface of the water, nearly opposite Gage &
Haines' Steam Mill on the south branch, and
above which large body of water and float
ing ice had accumulated, suddenly gave way
sweeping in the rapid current every vesse
lying below that point.
Madison street bridge offered nomentary
check to the floating mass, but it was but mo-
mentary, for the next instant the bridge was
added 10 the wreck. Randolph street byid 9
was the next obstacle TO the rush of things
but hardly an obstacle-t resisted for mo-
ment and then it, too, gave way and sunk in
to the chaos below, and all rushed with swift
destruction upon the large number of vessels
and canal boats lying in the branch in tina vi
The feet of destruction thus reinforced,
swept into the main river, whose banks were
lined with steamers, proPellers, briggs, schoon-
ers, and canal boats, and then such scene
of crushing confusion ensued no pen can
describe. Wells street bridge was open,
leaving the middle of the stream clear, but
the vessels were closely wedged together
from bank to bank, and the end of the bridge
very soon gave way and mingled with the
general wreck.
On--on rushed the terrible flotilIa, the
whole river being completely filled with pro-
pellers, steamboats,, biigs, schooners and ca nal
boats, scows and every other kind Of craft in
the harbor-above, the booms, bowsprits and
other portions of the rigging, crashing as the
mass moved on-below the huls coming to-
gether with still greater crash, the smaller
craft being ground to fragments between the
larger and the ice, which covered the whole
urfaee of the water and was often wedged
in several feet above.
Clark street bridge-the floats of which
were carried away, and the middle portions
| partially sunk on Sunday evenings now
reached, bat it is the fraiIest possible obsta-

clear and even with the w harges. Here fol
few moments there was pause, until til,
ice and water had time to gather create
force, and then the whole was agaio swept OF
as if by destiny. A large number of larg
vessels were wedged together at this point

THE MINER

THE MINER.
Spade! spade, spade! down goes the spade
-Fo,vhere the hid treasures of earth are laid,
The turf gives way TO the sharpened steel,
Pressed down by the miners iron heel;
ind the hardened hands of the toiler tell,
The days he's worked, aye, and worked them well.
Pickl picki pick! swift flies the pick,
Steady and true as chronometers tick;
The bright fire glances from beds of flint
and hours fly by as he works his stint,
But in his stern breast is no room for despair,
Ior lie heeds not sorrow-he mocBs al dull care.
Turn! turn turn! now the windlass turns!
And his brain within him ceaseless burns,
As he draws from the dark damp caverns ofearth
Those ritals concealed from her ancient BIRTH
$nd the sun looks down from his azure height
With approving smile on this man Of might.
Blast blast! blast! loud thundezs the bIastl
And old earth groans till the shock is past;
but the IN ner composd views the scene with smiles
for he sees in the havoc, the end of his tolls
Now gladde.s his eyes the glittering ore
Tie wages Of Iabor-.far wages,-no more.
From morning TIL night thus the miner tolls on,
Nor heeds he the scorching of midsummer sum-
Nor yet when the boreal tempests rage
Does he cease his relentless warfare to wage,
But night brings repose to the cares of the day.,
and rest gives him strength for each coming ARRAY

A story.

The old farm house wore quiet, pleasant
look. as the setting sun gilded its small win
dows over which the luxuriant grape vines
were carefully trained. In the open door sat
the farmer, with little morocco covered book
in his hand, on which his attention had been
fixed for the last half hour. He was man
Of method and order-old Richard Heath
and aside from his regular account books,
which were kept with scrupulous care, he al
ways set down in this little book. In the SIM
plest manner possible, all his expenses, (no
very complicated account, by the way,) and
all be received during the year, Gin the real
netal.'' as he said mot by way o'trade."
This last account he had just reck oned up,
and the result was highly satisfactory, if one
might Judge from the pleasant expression of
his face as he turned TO his wife, and address
ed her by her pretty old-fashioned name.
.:AIillicent,1 said he, ''this has been lucky
wear. How little we thought when we NOV
ed on this place, twenty-five years ago, that
We should ever get FIVE hundred year out of
The rocky, barren farm
''lt does paw for good deal head work, y
said she; ''to see how different things look
from what they did then"
Now, I'm going to figure up how much

good humor, and gazed out over the broad,
rich fields of waving grain which grew so
tall around the laden apple trees that they
looked like massive piles of foliage. Hearing
her name thus kindly spoken, led her thoughts
far back to the past; for after the lapse of
twenty-five years. the simple sound of the
name she bore in youth, means more 10 a wife
lhan all the pulling epithets of dearest, love,
and darling, so laYiahly uttered in a long past
courtship.
Very pleasant was this retrospect to Milli-
cant Heath. The picture of the past had on
I some rough places and hard trials, but no
domestic strife or discomfort marred lis sunny
aspect. There were smiling faces on IT
happy children's faces, without which no lie
picture is beautiful Soft blue eyes shlned
with unclouded gladness. and wavy ham hoaI
ed carelessly over unwritten foreheads. Sh'
forgot for moment how they were changed
and almost fancied herself again the young
] mothers and tiny hands stole lovingly over
|heT bosom, and young heads nestled there a:
sot old. The illusion vanished quickly; and

years before, for a home on the sea. Once

Coon ADvICE.-John Il. Prentis, in his
recent valedictory on retiring from the edito-
rial chair, which he had filled for forty -one
years, has the following:
''No man should be without well conduc
ted newspaper; he is far behind the spirit OF
the age unless he reads one; is not upon e.
quail footing with his fellow man who enjoys
such advantage, and is dIsregal dful of his du-
ty to his family, 10 not affording them an OPP
portunty Of acquiring knowledge OF what is
passing in the world, at the cheapest possible
teaching. Show me family without a news
paper, and venture to say that there will be
manifest in that family want of amenity OF
manners and indications of ignorance, most
strlklngly in contrast with the neighbor who
allows himself such an indulgence Young
men, especially, should read newspapers
If | were a boy even of twelve years of age,
| would read newspaper weekly, though ]
had 10 work by torch light to earn money
enough to pay for it. The boy who reads
well Will learn to think and analyze, and if so
he will be almost sure TO make man Of him
self, batting vicious indulgences, which read
ing is calculated to beget distaste for.''
