LAX DISCIPLINE OF SLAVES.

We should be among the last to wish to subject
the negro population to any stricter discipline than
was necessary for their proper government and due
subordlnation nor are we prompted by any fears OF
the personal safety Of the whites, when express
the opinion that i'll this part Of the country at least
there is axity Of discipline of the black popula-
ton, which is detrimental as we'll to them to the
white inhabitants.
At night, the blacks roam about pretty much at
pleasure, and thus tempted into, and have the
opportunity of indulgng in all kinds of bad habits
and the commission Of all kinds of thefts, &c
There are unhappily in the bosom Of every COM
munty certain class Of whites, who will not he
state for the sake of pecuniary gain to
negro, and speculate upon the crimes he may be
tempted to commit. The negro not being compet
ent to give testimony in court, it is exceedingly
difficult to convict his white accomplice in crime
and thus the honest portion of the community are
subjected to depredatons of all descriptions To
arrest these evils, there is but mode, but for
tunately that mode is extremely simple, and easy
of adoption. 1t is at ight, and outside his own
ers premises, that the negro carries on his opera
tions. Keep him at home unless when sent on
specified errands, and with permit to pass to and
from specified places and his opportunities for
mischief will be taken away. Have, then, a good
night watch. and let every negro found out of his
owners lot after the bell rings at 8o'clock in Win
ter and o'clock in Summer without pass, be
lodged in the guard house, and kept until morning
when, after good thrashing, to be paid for by the
owner, he may be turned out. We do not believe
that the policy of letting off the fogging on the
payment of fine, is good one, because it makes
the negro believe that he may roam about with i'm
punity to his as long as his owner is good
natured enough to buy him off from punishment
IF the negro ought to be off his owners lot at
night, he readily get pass and if he fails to
get one, the fact ofhs being out furnishes the best
reason to believe that he ought not to be out, and
ought to be punished for being out. Not many
would be locked up at night and whipped next
morning. before the negro would come to the con-
clusion that his best policy would be to stay at
home, or get his owners permission to go out
Raleigh Register.
The above well-tmed remarks will suit this locality
we'll other places, and to the suggestions call
the attention Of slave-owners everxMhere.

THE ANGELS OF THE HOUSE.

IT'S said that ever round our path,
The unseen angels stray,
That give us blissful dreams by night,
And guard our steps by day.
But there's an angel in the house,
Meek, watchful and sincere,
That whispers words of hope to us
When none beside are near;
1t is the one, the CHOSEN one,
That linked to US for life,
The angel Of the happy home,
The faithful, trusting wife.
IT'S said that angels walk the earth
I'm sure it must be So
When round our path, scarce seen by us,
Such bright things come and go.
Are there not beings by our side
As fair as angels are?
AS pure, as taintless, as the forms
That dwell beyond the stars ?
Yes. there are angels Oh the earth,
Pure, innocent and mild;
The angels Ofour hearts and homes,
Each loved and loving child

UNION OF MAN AND WIFE AFTER A
SEPARATION OF FORTY-SEVEN IEARs.-A man
and wife have recently been united in Iowa, after
separation of forty-sevcn years. Mrs Crull
recently applied for bounty-land warrant, a
reward for the service of her husband during the
war Of 1872. He had enlisted while on visit to
Philadelphia, and reported to have been killed
in an engagement near Lake Champlan Messrs.
Shepard & Overton, of Burlington, Iowa, her
lawyers, ascertaincd that MIR Cru had entered
land warrant for land in Hancock county, Illinois,
and it was eventually shown that he was living in
Jefferson county, n. Y. The Burlington Hawkeye
says:
1t seems that soon after the enlistment of Mr.
Crull, Mrs Crull finding it difficult to support
herself and her two small children, one babe
removed to another part of the State, and there
hearing that her husband killed, made no
further efforts to learn of him; and he after his
discharge, returned to the town where he formerly
resided, and there told that his wife and children
had moved away, and since died. Believing
himself alone in the world he left forever his old
residents and associates, and took mp his abode in
Jefferson county, n. where he has since resided
ever cherishing in fond remembrance his now to
him, forever lost family After years of hard toll
and successful effort and the marriage Of her only
daughter, Mrs Crull, in company with her son and
law, moved to this State, and settled in
WappeliO, Louisa county, where she has since
resided in the family of her daughter. A few days
since Mr. Crull arrived in Wappello, eager to see
her whom he had mourned as dead and once again
beheld his children. But what a change forty
seven years had brought about. A formal intro
duction was needed to acquaint those who should
have spent their lives together

man who had an "infrnnity," we'll an appe-

tation for honesty, even while enjoying his favorite
meal; and while making bill with his merchant, as
the story goes, and when his back was turned, the
honest buyer slipped Goldfish up under his coat
tail. But the garment was two short to cover up
the theft, and the merchant perceived it.
"Now", said the customer anxious to improve
all opportunities to call attention to his virtues

and have paid you up promptly, haven't II"
'Oh, yes" said the merchant, 81 make no COM

"Well," said the customer, II always insisted
that honesty was the best policy, and the best rule
to live by and to die BY"

Whenever you come to trade again, you had better
