beautiful as performed by the minister
in accordance with the rules of the
--church, until the close, when,
instead of using the common phrase,
''until death do part you,'' this eminent
christian divine lodged the response
bility by substituting the words ''ata-
less yoa1 are unacoidadly separated" :"
If such trifing with the most solemn
and binding relation which can exist
on earth, does not-unrepented Of
send its author to hell, then there is no
use in having any hell. e
This evening, while in conversation
with Southern man on the subject of
the treatment of slaves by their mas
ters, the following novel and rather sig
nificant argument was used to show that
it was for the interest of the master to
treat his slaves well. He says: swhen
our friends or families are sick we take
care of them to be sure as well as we
can; but as we know they must die
sometime, and the money paid for med
ical aid will be lost we don't care SO
much; but when one of your valuable
servants is sick, all that medical skill
and talent can dc is done for them, as
we know if they die it is dead loss Of
so many dollars to us.'' Very few are
honest enough to express themselves
thus plainly, and thus show the relative
value attached to friends on the one
hand, and "chattels PERSONAL" on the
other. Truly this cursed institution so
blinds the sensibilities ofthose who up
hold it, to cause them to make their
property interest paramount to the
health and happiness of friends and FAM
lily connections. I believe Aunt Ann
our chambermaid, is right when she
says, "dat dis niger business will send
a good many oh de white folks to tor
ment, sure"
The weather here is cool and pleas
ant, with frosty mornings. If the
summers are as pleasant in proportion
as the winters, the country is correctly
termed ''the sunny south;" and with the
intelligence and enterprise attendant
upon free labor, this would become one
of the finest countries in the world.
Yours truly, L.

For the Reporter.
Thoughts Of a Quiet Moment.

BY order of the "Siilk & Pena Club"
in October last I strayed from my lone
domicil one bleak, drizzly afternoon,
for what purpose "deponent saith not"
knowing not. Wrapped in long,
brown surtout, with pants snugly en-
sconced in a pair Of oak-tanned boots,
and my Uranium shielded from the pen
etrating drizzle by waterproof cha
pcou, fancied I was comparatively
happy in my lonely meditations.
Stepping in unison with the throb-
bings Of my warm, friendly heart
humming in my mind some old, yet
beautiful air-in peace with the world
generally, actually believe acos hap
py,-more so than / could have been,
were I snugly slowed away in polish
ed coach, with an incorrigible "John"
to destroy my equilibrium of mind with
his constant recitation Of the de00 Ian
gu0ges to the poor dumb brutes, who,
as matter of course, must have been
the obedient servants to the 9 ''humble
obedient servant of mine said "John,"
master of the ribbons.
/ don't believe in servants. I don't
like to say to an image of the Almighty,
"here, do this" s'do that" and 'swhy
this" and "why that" 1t isn't natu-
raj, perhaps because I should feel I'M
comfortable were I to be placed in a
like position. This may account prob
ably for my being on foot.
Am l not an image of God !? though
perhaps poorly got up one. Haven't
l feelings that may be wounded by an
unkind word? Have or have not a
soul that God intended should impart
security to brother, and with its teach
ings should inculcate Equality-present
and future-yea, forever, in this and in
the spirit world?
/ passed an hour in my unpleasant
to me, pleasant-walk. The thick,
heavy clouds were drifting towards the
west, and night seemed preparing her
sable drapery to wrap the corpse of
day. Here and there an occasional
light from some lonely dwelling would
flash across my pathway, thereby add
ing another ray of happiness to my con-
genial state of mind.
I met but few brothers in nv lonely
walk. A warm fire certainly must have
been an agreeable companion on SO
gloomy a day. I fully appreciate a
CRATE Of glowing anthracite and freely
confess my partiality towards it.
On reaching my humble abode, I met
two persons, to me strangers, and over
heard, without the guilt Of listening,
these remarks: ''He's queer fellow, %

The Spot where Eddie Sleeps
By REV. Fl. D. L. WEBSTER.

Six years have come and gone, dear wife,
Six heavy, creeping years, .
Since angels took our Eddie home,
Up there among the stars,
But what are years, though measured out,
To love which lives forever '..
A love which links US heart to heart
With those beyond the riser!"
The summer wanes as then, dear wife; ...
The wind comes sighing too,
Just as it sighed among the elms
That night six years ago. ..-
Sad memories cluster round the hour
When we our watch were keeping,
And closed those little eyes for aye,
And left him to his sleeping.
The grass grows tangled now, dear wife;
No flowers perfume the sod;
No voiced prayer beside that grave
Goes trembling up to God;
For stranger feet now press the path
We trod with bitter weeping:
They do not know they're passing by
The spot where EDDIE's sleeping.
But what though miles between, dear wife,
Divide us from the dust
OF him we loved and cherished well?
Though gone, he is not lost.
The weary years-they cannot stretch
Between the loved forever:
Fen now, dear spirits, reaching out,
Touch palms across "the river"

A DOVE SToRY-A gentleman of
this city, who had dcve-cot at his res
idence at the West End, relates the
following incident as having occurred
last week. In the cot were male and
female dove and two squads. The
male SQUAD having died, the elderly
dove drove from his nest his female
mate, and promoted to his bed and
board the young female SQUAD, pecking
at and driving from his cot the female
dove. Finally upon one occasion, when
the female appeared at the door Of the
cot, the male sailed out, pecked at her,
and drove her away. The prosecuted
mother flew down to q perch below,
where, with her head under her wing,
she remained for short time and then
fell suddenly to the ground. The in
mates Of the house, who had witnessed
the proceeding, Immediately went out
and ascertained that the dove was dead,
but no wound was found sufficient to
cause death. Possibly she died of a
broken heart from the brutal treatment
of her false and tickle mate.-B0ston
