The Yelling of Charity.

Long ago, when errinG.pan refused to wor-
ship the true God, and kHelt before the altars
of Baal and Moloch, bowed and sorrow strick-
en- angel flew to Heaven and knelt in mute
Application before the Almighty Throne. AT
last, raising her sad eyes to the face of her
Creator, she exclaimed in voice 80 sweet its
music filed the air
"They have driven me from earth, o, Father
i, Charity, one Of thy best beloved. No Ion
ger do they heed my voice. Once dwelt in
palaces, the counsellor OF Kings-but now have
they hardened their hearts to my appeals, and
perforce I leave them, and thy poor, lowly
children, deserted by me. will perish of want;''
and the angel bowed her head and wept bitter
ly.
"Peace," whispered heavenly voice; al
know oil thou canst tell of the wickedness and
folly Of man; but as have so often forgiven,
yet will again forgive and take him to my
arms. Name thy request that may grant it,
Humbly the angel replied, "Grant me, o,
Father. yell, that since can no longer reign
in public, may at least, concealed, pervade
the homes Of men, bringing, unseen, hope and
joy, that none may know the giver, nor whence
the gift"
The Father Of Mercy raised his lowly child,
and pressing her to his bosom, said:
"Not only do grant thee this, but know,
that if there lives q man with heart 70 cold that
it hath not place for thee, he shall be shuun'd
by bis fellow-men as some wildsbeast freed
from its chains; for he who doth not feel and
exercise charity, though of the earth eifthy, !
has no place among mofta1s." Matte.

Why he Did not Go.

When John QuineSs adams was Mni1ter TO
the Court Of Hollahly he joined a, society Of
learned men who met once week for mutual
improvement. Mr.. Adams, though one OF the
Youngest members soon became q great
tavorite; bis flneiy-toned mind and delightful
conversation won him many friends, and re.
ceiving as n enjoynent as he gave, he was
always phnc 10y present,
On one oco906, however, the meeting was
adjourned to Sabbath evening. Mr.. Adams
was net there. 1t wHhppointed on the next

prompt and punctual, should thus suddenly
break of. How did it happen? Press Of busi-
ness, 1t was supposed. At last, the meetings
were returned to weekday evening, and 10 |!
there was Mr.. Adams in his place, brilliant and
delightful as ever. The members welcomed
him back, and expressed their sorrow that press
of business, or duties Of his Office, should have

let that go as the reason? :" Not business en-

The Connecticut Election,

The result of the Connecticut election is a
substantial Black Republican defeat. No De-
mocrat had any reason to anticipate the sIc.
cess Of the Democratic candidates for State Off
GERS, although all hoped that they might be
elected. Last Fall the Black Republicans
elected their Governor by upwards of 1900
majority; their Governor, at this election, after
one of the most animated contests that the State
has ever passed through, barely escapes defeat
by nominal majority of 500. The vote is
large. and the diminution of the relative strength
of the Republicans shows that their fortunes
are on the wane. In 1856, Fremont's majority
was 5000; now his party is trembling on the
brink of defeat.
The Republicans try to crow over their victory
in Connecticut, but they make poor fist of it..
Another such victory. and they are beaten.
The reaction has commenced. The black
tide of fanaticism is on the ebb. The treason
able effects Of the teachings of Seward and
Helper, in the open raid on Virginia, and the
interruption of trade between the two sections
of the Union, is arouaing the fears of the patri-
otto, and very justly, and the Presidential vote
cannot but exhibit a prodigious change against
the heresies Of Black Repubiicanism through
out the entire North. Connecticut has almost
turned the point now. .

us' sa Rail- Read. a ~ 70

The beneficial effects Of this road are already
beginning to be felt in this section, and as the
work progresses, It's advantages to this and The
whole region through which it mcdiately and
Immediately runs will be proportionately
augmented. Already, several of our citizens
have made trip from their homes to New Or
leans In less thnn \ day aud u half, including a
thirty miles ride on horseback to Dallas
Others have sent to ,vicksburg instead of to
New Orleans as heretofore, for their supplies,---
thus affnrding an evidence that the prosperity
Of vicksburg will be enhanced BY the road and
very materially enhanced, finer business men
adopt the proper course to secure the new
trade that is opening to them and to their city
one of the principal means to do which is to in,
troduce themselves and their business to their
new customers by advertising. u
Dallas, on the Tensas, is the present running
terminus on the road, although the bridge over
Tensas' and the road to Joe's Bayou, two and
a half miles beyond, are completed. About two
miles and baltimore will bring it to the Ba.
you Macon, at Delhi, which will be the princi-
pal depot for this parrish. We have no doub,
but that a very large share Of the business Of
Franklin, both import and export, will be done
on the road after 1t reaches that poiut, and as
most of the work is done upon II, nothing but
the putting down Of the rails, and the bridge
over Joe's Bayou being lacking to complete It.
We are confident that it will be accomplished
this summer. We think It would be proper
occasion for a jolliAcation-what say You,
Mcssrs. Directors!
We have already noticed the fact, That n
large bonus had been offered the contractors
to complete the rond to the town Of Monroe by
January next, and we are gratiiicd to learn
that 1t has given SO great IN impulse 10 the
work, as to have inspired the confident belief
thatit would be effected. A very large addi-
tional force has been put upon the roud lead

LOvejOy's Speech s. the Speaker.

Decidedly the leading light Of the Republi.
can party in the House is Lovcjoy Of Illinois
whose speech, delivered in committee on Thurs
day last, will, when it comes to be laid beior,
the country in full, create as much excitement
as the Helper book or Stewards brutal and
bloody Rochester manifesto. Mr. Lovejoy il
the representative man ofthc Black Republican
party in the House, as John Brown was at Har-
per's Ferry. Lovejoy is so recognized by the
Evening Post (the lauditory notice Of him by
that journal will be found esewherc) and by
the philosophers of the Tribune, who recon.
mend that two millions of copies of the speech
should be circulated at once. There is the
greatest curiosity to read the speech, and, as
usual, the Washington Globe has kept it bnck
The New York papers printed as much of it as
could be sent over one wire. the other eight be-
ing down, and promptly laid it before the
country the next morning; but the Globe has
no word of the debate Of Thursday M nFrilay's
or Saturdays impression. This is no new
thing, and, considering that each Congress
pays as much Us hundred thousand dollars
profit on reporting and printing, the debates
alone, we should think that the Globe might
manage to get out Its report within two days
after debate has taken place. Otherwise, it
would be better for the House to trust to the
New York papers.
So far as the new leader Of the Republican
party is concerned, there seems to be no hal
way business. He endorses the Helper book
fully and explicitly. He is one of the sixty
members who voted for Blake's Garrisonian
resolution. He openly proclaims himself to be
an insurrectionist, nigger-stealer and traitor
in intention. All this is declared openly on
the floor of the House, and it is accepted as the
true doctrine of the party by the abolition
members and their presses. The black rcpub.
licans are beginning to show their handsin good
earnest, and it is high time that the conserva.
tive men of the country were aroused to the
dangers that menace it from the mad fanaticism
of such men as Lovejoy and his compatriets-
The real objects Of the party are foreshaaSwed
very clearly in such speeches as that of Love
joy.-N T. Herald.

Character is much more rare article in the
best society, even, than many suppose. We
know of no better satire on fashionable society,
or society generally, than that afforded by n
slight sketch of Lord Chesterfield, drawn by
one who knew him we'll, Lord Harvey. He
said, Lord Chesterfield was allowed by every
body to have more conversablc, entertaining
table wit than any man of his time. His pro.
pensity to ridicule, in which he indulged him
self with infinite humour and no distinction
and with inexhaustible spirit and no discretion,
made him sought and feared, liked and not
loved, by most Of his acquaintance. No sex,
no relation, no rank, no profession, no friend
ship, no obligation was a shield from pointed
glittering weapons that seemed to shine only to
stander by, but cut deep in those they touch
ed. All his acquaintance were indiflercntly
the object Of his satire, and served promiscu-
ously to feed that voracious appetite for abuse
that made him fall on every thing that came
in his way aud treatevcry one of his compa-
mons in rotation at the expense of the rest.

was an immense deal of excitement occasioncd

violent collision. Lovrjoy waxing warm dur
ing the delivery Of his Abolition TRADE. pns-
scd from his scat to the area In front of the
Clerks desk, where he stood gesliculating
thrionsly, shaking his clcnchct lists deiiantly
at the Democratic benches. This excited the
ire Of Mr.. Pryor Of Virginia, who called him to
order, and said - kgentlcman from Illinois
had no right to shake his fist at gentlemen on
his side. 1t was bad enough to stand in his
own place and talk his treason md nonsense" ("

cane, and was heard to apply The gentle cpithet

Republicans left their scats and gathered
around their champion, and the greatcst con-
fusion ensucd. The Speaker descended from
his chair, and the glittering mace of the Ser
geant-at-Arms was seen in the Hall, but was
Intellectual in qnicting the disorder. A gen, raj
fight at this time seemed imminent, but an old
and cool-hcaded member let fly witticsm
which restored the House for the noncc TO
comparative good humor. Mr.. Lovejoy con
tinped his harranguc, though frequently inter.
rtpted by not very complimentary remarks
from Southern members. Mr. Ashmore of South
Carolina, told the insulting Illnoisan that he
had perjurcd himself Mr. Singleton OF Mssis-
sippi, called him negro thief; Mr.. Barkstlale
declared that the meancst negro in the South
was his superior, and Mr.. Martin of virginia,
extended to the Black Republican orator an
urgent invitation to visit his State, promising
that the virginians would hang him higher
than they did John Brown.
