AviS.*

I may not rightly call thy name
Alas thy forehead never knew
The kiss that happier children claim,
Nor glistened with baptismal dew.
Daughter of want and wrong and woe,
saw thee with thy sister-band,
Snatched from the whirlpooPs narrowing flow
BY Mercy's strong yet trembling hand
:" Avis l'-With Saxon eye and cheek,
At once a woman and child,
The saint uncrowned came to seek,
Drew near to greet us,-spoke and smiled.
God gave that sweet sad smile she wore,
All wrong to shame, all souls to win
A heavenly sunbeam sent before
Her footsteps through world of sin.
-"And who is Avis ?"-Hear the tale
The calm-voiced matrons grayely tell
The story known through all the vale
Where Avis and her sisters dwell
With the lost children running wild,
Strayed from the hand of human care,
They find one little refuse child
Left helpless in It's poisoned lair.
The primal mark is on her face,-
The chattelstamp,-the pariah- stain
That follows still her hunted race
The curse without the crime of Cain.
How shall ou- smooth-turncd phrase relate
The little suffering outcast's all?
Not Lazarus at the rich mans gate
So turned the rose-wreathed revelers pale.
All, veil the living death from sight
That wounds our beauty loving eye!
The children turn in selfish fright,
The whte-lipped nurses hurry by.
Take her. dread Angel! Break in love
This bruised reed and make it thine.-
Ne voice descended from above,
But Avis answered, ''She is mine!''
The task that dainty menials spurn
The fair young girl has made her own
Her heart shall teach, her hand shall learn
The tolls, the duties yet unknown.
So Love and Death in lingering strife
Stand face to face from day to day,
Still battling for the spoil of Life
While the slow seasons creep away.
Love conquers Death; the prize is won;
See to her joyous bosom pressed
The dusky daughter of the Sum-
The bronze against the marble breast!
Her task is done no voice divine
Has crowned the deed with sanity fame;
No eye can see the aureole shine
That ring her brow with heavenly fame.
Yet what has holy page more sweet,
Or what had woman's love more fair
When Mary clasped her Sayiour's feet
With flowing eyes and streaming hairs
Meek child of sorrow, walk unknown,
The Angle of that earthly throng,
And let thine image live alone
To hallow this unstudied song!
o. w. HoLrEs.

When we are considering the health

When we are considering the health
of children, it is imperative not to omit
the Importance of Keeping their brain
fallow, as it were for several years of
their existance. The mischief perpe-
trated by acontrary course. in the shape
of bad health, peeyish temper, and de-
veloped vanity, is incurable. Some in
faut prodigy, which is a standard of
mischief through its neighborhood, mis-
leads them, But parents may be as
sured that this early work is not by any
means, all gain, even in the way of
work. l suspect it is loss: and that
children who begin their education late,
as it could be called, viii rapidly over
take those who have been in harness
long before them. And what advan-
tage can it be that child knows more
at six years old than its compeers, es-
pecially if this is to be gained by sac
rifice of health. which may never be
regained? There may be some excuse
for this early book-work in the case of
those children who are to live by man.
ual labor. 1t is worth while, perhaps,
to run the risk of some physical injury
to them-having only their early years
in which we can teach them book
knowledge. The chance Of mischief
too will be less-being more likely to
be counteracted by their after life.
But for child who is to be at book
work for the first twenty-one years of
his life what folly it is to exhaust in the
least its mental energy, which, after all
! IA its sur&st implemeut.

The DisuniOnists.

Mr. Foster, Parker Pillsbury fanatic
at the WOman's Rights Convention helC
in Vermont on the 25th lust, is reported
to have said:
"He cared nothing about the Union
He would say rather than single slave
should be held in bondage, down with the
Union. down with the Constitution, dow n
with Religion, down with the Church,
down with the Bible, aud let all so to bel!
and damnation."
About the same:ipe that Foster was thun
dering bis anathemas against the Union
and the Constitution in New England
Judge Jones, a Democratic politician oi
Georgia was interesting crowd Cf hearers
with language like the following:
Judge Jones. Then l ask the gentle
mac from Virginia whether he will go with
us now, to-day. for dissolution Of the
Union. Applause
So it is. The non-voting.P Parker Pills
bury fanatics of New England, and the
leading men Of the Democratic party in
the South are vieing with each other
their efforts to destroy both the Cons -
ton and the Union, They are doIae
their utmost to accomplish this. Happy
is it then for the country, the constitution
and mankind, that the Republican party
was formed and placed between these dis
union factions. For while It continues TO
live and grow, the reasonable schemers,
whether from the North or South, will be
held in check, and eventually consigned to
that disgrace aud shame which they richly
merit.

The Growing Crop.

In nearly every section Of the whole
country, we are happy to learn that the
prospect Of an abundant crop Of almost all
kinds of grain, was scarcely If ever. better.
Wheat, rye. oats, grass and barley promise
a very heavy yield; indeed, in remote por
tions of the country, these grains are said
to promise more remuneratively this year
than ever known before. Along the Mis-
sissippi, Ohio and their tributaries, hOwey.

ing fields BY the almost unparalleled hea.

these localities. The planting of the corn
and potato crops has been retarded;yet il is
to be hoped that the "Aoods subsided" in
time to enable the agriculturalists of the
valleys to commit their seeds to the ground
with the prospect in due time, of realizing

From the Salem Republican.
John q. Trip Esq.
Il will be noticed that BY authority, we
this week announce the name Of joan H..
TRIPP, ESQ, Of CaHolllon, as q candidate
for the Office Of Common Pleas Judge for
this District. In the selection of . man
BY the people, to Gil the responsible Office
Of Judge, they should inquire as 10 bis
hODesty-hia efficiency aud moral worth,
as all these qualifications should weigh
heavily in favor Of the man into whose
hands they propose placing the distribution
of Justice.
To be measured by this standard, we
believe Mr. Trip will stand as high as any
other man whose name has yet been meO-
tioued in connection with that Office. We
have been intimately acquainted with him
from boyhood, and always knew him to
be q very close successful lawyer
and q correct business man. Having bad
to hew bis Own way up the rugged bill OF
life, and without any peeunisrY means on'
ly as be could gather them BY bis own
exertions, he bad no time 10 squander
about street corners or lager beer saloons,
and consequently the habit Of idliDg and
rum-drinking vas never acquired BY him;
but on the other hand, he gained char
acter for sobriety and integrity in the COM
munity in which be lived, and having
thus won the confidence Of the people.
they several years ago elected him their
Representative to the Ohio Legislature,
and he is at the present time serving very
acceptably, as Probate Judge of the cOun-
ty in which be lives. Wetheretore would
suggest to our readers, in their casting
about for a suitable man to fill the import
ant Office of Judge, lin addition to and
not in place Of Judge Potter, as some sup
pOse,) that they will give Mr. Trip the IA
Vorable consideration his merits demand.

to put Of the clip from two to three weeks

relation to the ruling prices Of the coming

conclusions as TO the price Of wool in the
future; the demand and supply are inpor-
