WHAT he HEARD.
AS was walking down the street,
heard of great parade,
Presently some men did meet,
Coming up from railroad grade.
WHAT HE BEHELD.
The like never did behold,
With drum and fife both in hand,
Which made the music of two fold
That cheered this pratt ing band.
HOW THEY CONE.
They came with hooppoles by the score,
Led by one learned man
Who with a pole went On before
To increase his little band.
HOW THEY WERE DRESSED.
Some were dressed in pas te- board faces,
Some in homely looking gowns,
And one man in long mustaches
That polluted all the town.
The poet was evidently mistaken in regard t
some being dressed in paste board faces and 'on
in long mustaches!'1
THE REAR.
But l must have it all along,
Some one followed in the rear,
He walked along most awful strong,
Strutting like faithless peer.
HOW THEY ACTED.
They showed the people off the walk,
And moved meh's hats from their heads,
Which made the people stare and talk,
That made their approach a dread.

A White Girl MarrieS a Ne
prOI

Inc DeffON II rec TeSS gives an account
Of an elopement and marriage which took
place week or two ago, "a little out of
the usual line, sufficiently so we imagine
to satisfy the most craving appetite for the
novel and the disgusting both of which
we have, the latter in sufficient quantity
to turn any white stomach in existence.
A young girl named Sarah Judson, whose
father lives on fine property mile or
two from Pontiac, eloped with nigger
who has been IN the employment of her
father for some time in the capacity of farm
hand. They crossed over to Windsor,
Canada, " here an individual was found
who performed the ceremony and the two
were made one. The father of the girl is
red.hot Abolitionist Of the whole e-hog-
orno hing, Niger as good as anyb1dy
style. For long series Of years. he has
disguised his neighbors with ranting on
Abolitionism and Amalgamation, of which
he was disposed to abate not one jot
or title from its utmost limit. In order
that he might not be said to preach what
he did not practice, he made it point to
treat the numerous colored individuals
whom he from time to time employed, as
on par with his own family. These doc
trines he incuicated upon the un derstand-
ngs of his children, and he has the su-
preme satisfaction of Witnessing as the
practical results Of his teaching. his own
daughter clasped in the embrace of a
greasy nigger, willing and ready. and
even enthusiastically reciprocal in the
sweet game of daliance with which lovers
delight to celebrate their unions.
The style of living which the young
woman was introduced to on the first day
of the honey moon is worth noticing. Her
sable lover. in pursuance of an intention
to set up house keeping. bought some
dishes and old furniture, and the two
moved into board shanty in the back part
of Windsor. This was in the negro quar-
ter, which it is needless to say comprises
several quarters of the town, and was sur
rounded by about fifty more negro shan
ties The occupants of these, quite taken
by surprise, turned out en- masse, and the
bridal calls of the young wife insisted of
an indiscriminate rush of daikies Of all
ages, sexes, colors and varieties. The
only room she had was filed with these
odious visitors from morning till night,
who gazed at her with open mouths while
little ebenies climed on the roof, peeped In
the Windows. and stole her corn bred. Ii
is estimated by competent Windsor author
! tiles, that she received thousand calls
the first day. How she got through with
her receptions is unknown. but consider
ing the fact that she had been brought up
in deceRny, it is natural to suppose that
her stomach must have rebelled occa-
sonally, Notwithstanding the inculcations
of her father who believed :hem good e.
nough for her until they actually got her. y
The girls brother succeeded in coax
ing her away from her sable lover, and il
is needless TO say that it will be hot times
for the Niger If he shows his head in thai
vicinity again. O, Abolilionism! thou All
