Almost Incredible Destitution.

The condition OF some of the "poor
white folks" in the Slave States is scarce.
ly credible. The lands and the labor are
monopolized by the shareholders, and
white laborer, whether mechanic or not,
finds a crushing competitor where capital
owns the soul and sinews of the black man.
A case in point, too heart-rending for Gre
dence, but from the fact that it is well au.
thenticated.
The morning Of the 9th, party of twen-
ly-three Kentuckians were found sleeping
on the Cincinnati levee, and conveyed to
the Station House. This company started
for Texas last spring from Kentucky, ar
rived there with exhausted purses, and
rather than perish from starvation, they
started on foot on their return, travelled on
till they reached Gaines Landing, where
they were put on steamboat and landed
at Cincinnati the most pitiable of groups.
Three of the party died during the trip,
nine of the remaining % are sick, and all
without money or comfortable clothing
Rev. DR.. Goddard and other Cincinnati
philanthropic citizens of both sexes acted
the part of good Samaritans towards the
distressed strangers. The Times thus pic
lures their wretched condition when found
about four o'clock in the morning, having
nothing to shield Them from the sharp,
piercing night wind, which whistled over
their almost uncovered bodies. 1t says:
Along side an old wagon lay gentle
mother, pressing to her heart the al
most inaninate remains of loving babe,
the idol of her hopes, and for whom she
would willingly sacrifice almost life itself,
without friend to comfort or whisper a
word of cousolatien to her troubled spirit.
Not far from her lay youthful mother,
with her first born looking wistfully and
piteously, but in vain, up in the face of
that mothor for some nourishment.
Near her lay boy of fourteen, his feet
bare, his youthful brow knit with care,
his weak frame shivering with cold, ard
his once flashing eye sunk deep in their
sockets, from want and destitution. Next
to him lay an emaciated, consumptive
mother, unable to move, with baby
month old, crying most plteously tor SOME
nourishment, when there was none to be
had.
A few feet distant from her lay poor
forlorn orphan girl-without father, with
out mother, without food, without friends,
and with but miserable supply of elotn-
ing-unabe to move, walk, or even stand
up. Next to her lay little boy, about
nine wears old, unable to meve from where
he was placed; and next to him lay little
dear baby sister, in the same helpless and
forlorn condition.
Next to them lay the poor heart broken
mother, who confded the last remains of
her two beautiful daughters and loving
mother to their last resting place, but
few days before. And next to them was
the venerable old man of three-score, his
hair frosted with years, his eyes streaming
with affection, his body bent over the forms
of his sinking children, and his eyes lifted
to heaven in the agony of despair.

Forgive u.s as we Forgive.

Mr.. Whitfield once sobered Gov. Ogle-
thorpe of Georgia, when abusing his ser
want for some misdemeanor, and saying in
great excitement-"The rascal shall suffer
for it, for he knows I never forgive" Said
Whitfield, quietly, 81 hope you never sin,
or need forgiveness of God" There is in
struction in the following story:
"In the Middle Ages, when the great
lords and knights were always at war with
each other, one of them resolved TO revenge
himself upon neighbor who had offended
him. 1t chanced that the very evening
which he made this resolution, he heard that
his enemy was to pass near his castle with
only few men with him. 1t was good
opportunity to take his revenge, and he de-
termined not to let it pass. He spoke of
his plan in the presence of his chaplain,
who tried in vain to persuade him to give
it up. The good man said great deal 10
the Duke about the sin of what be was
going to do, but in vain. At length see
ing that it all had no effect, be said:
any lord, since cannot persuade you
to give up this plan of yours, will you at
least consent to come with me to the chap
ell, that we may pray together before you
go?"
The Duke consented, and the chaplain
and he knelt together in prayer. Then the
mercy loving Christian said to the avenge-
full warrior:
"Will you repeat after me sentence by
sentence, the prayer which our Lord Jesus
Christ himself taught to bis disciplesa"
"I will do it" replied the Duke.
He did it accordingly. The chaplain
said sentence and the Duke repeated it
till he came to the petition: "Forgive us
our trespasses, as we forgive them that tres
pass against u.s." The Duke was silent.
"My lord, you are silent" said the chap
lain, "Will you be so good as to continue
to repeat the words after me, If you dare
do soe "Forgive us our trespasses, as ws
forgive. them that trespass against u.s."
81 cannot" replied the Duke. p
"WeIl, God cannot forgive you for he
has said so. He himself has given US
this Therefore, you must either
give up your revenge, or give up saying
this prayer; for to ask God to pardon you
as you pardon others, is to ask him to take
vengeance on you for all your SINS"
The iron will of the Duke was broken.
"No," said he 81 will finish my prayer.
My God, my father, pardon me; forgive
me as 1 desire to forgive him who has Of
Tended me; lead me not into temptation,
but deliver me from evilp'
"Amen,' said the chaplain.
"Amen," repeated the Duke, who now
understood the Lords Prayer, better than
he bad ever done before,since he had learn
ed to apply it to himself.

Whether there had been foul play or not,
Aaron Little could never determine; but he
was in no doubt as to one thing, and that
was the easy condition Of the money mark
Ell, after the elapse of half year.
For four or five months previous to
Mrs. Little's administration of affairs, he
was on the street for nearly half his time,
during business hours, engaged in the
work of MOI ey-raising; now his regular
receipts had got in advance Of his payments
so that the balance on the morning Of each
day was usually in excess of the notes to
to be lifted. Of course he could give
more attention to business and of course
business Increased and grew more profi

three thousand; and before the end of the
year he had drawn out six or seven thusand,
and had given notes Of tho firm for as
much more in payment of old obligations.
A failure of The house was an inevitable re-
suit.
When the fact of the failure and the
cause which lead to it become known to
Lr. Little, he remarked with shrug.
"I'm sorry for B. But he should

he addressed the remark.

The EXTENT AND RICHNESS OF JOHN c.
FREMoNr's MINEs.-The great Mariposa
estate comprises $4,000 acres, OF more
than seventy square. miles, on the Bear,
Aqua, Fria and Mariposa creeks. The
couuty-seat of Marapcsa, with several vii
lagos, are on the estate. The mines are
worked by running horizontal tunnels or
drills into the mountains, connected with
the surface bv vertical shafts. The drifts
follow the quartz veins, of which there are
about twenty; the Josephine and Pine
Tree are the principal. The Josephine is
1926 feet above the river, and has four
drifts, nearly over each other, connected by
one upright shaft; the deepest is 525 feet.
The strata vary in thickness and richness;
one of twenty feet pays $50 per tun, and
one of fifteen feet from $500 10 1000
The Pine Tree Mine is below the Josephine,
averages a thirty foot vein, and has fve
galleries, CONNECTED by four shafts. 1t is
70 be connected with the Josephine by five
levels.
These veins were discovered by Col. Fre-
mont in 1889. When his claims were con-
firmed by Government, kind Of anti-rent
rebellion arose among the numerous squat
tiers on the estate, and the greatest skill
and tact were exercised in settling the diff
fculties without bloodshed. The natural
difficulties, also, which Fremont overcame
in getting his mines into working condi-
tion, are almost indescribable. He con-
structed railroad three and three-quarter
miles in length, almost in air, to convey
the ore to the splitting or breaking ma
chimes, which is one of the wonders of civ
il engineering. This was opened August
l, last, by grand celebration. The cars

each carrying two and half tuns OF rock'

MING.
By SARAH JANE BOOTH.
'Tis eve and nature now is still.
The gentle summer air
Brings fragrance on its dewy wings,
From fowreis bright and lair.
The queen of night looks calmly down
While smiling from afar,
Through the soft gray mist of parting cloud
Shines the little evening star.
A dreamy quiet reigns around,
No sound disturbs the stiffness rare;
A soft repose dwells on the earth, ,.
And mans forgot his care.
Now bright again in memory's hall,
Come forms and faces dear,
And to my eve half unawares
Starts the oft forbidden tear.
Imagination points again,
As in bright days of yore,
To forms so loved and cherished here,
That shall see no more.
seem TO hear glad songs of mirth,
From voices young and gay
seem to hear horne on tie breeze,
Glad childhood's happy lay.
Across the green and fiowery slope,
In veil of misty light,
Come forms of beauty as angels fair,
To my enraptured sight.
All I could weep, and it is well,
Twill soothe my bitter grief,
Through tears and sighs may sad appear,
They give the heart relief.
As now when all is hushed and still
Theirs sweet sad sacred calm.
Into the bruised and bleeding heart,
1t pours pleading balm.
T'is thus love the care of earth,
The thought of toll and strife,
And my spirit seems TO breath the air
OF better, purer, life.
Now from the busy scenes of earth,
! IN for season free;
T'is thus my minds more closely drawn,
Great God of Heaven to thee.
Almighty Father now look down
From thy bright home on high; ..
Watch o'er and guide thy erring Guild,
By thy all seeing eye.
Oh keep my youthful feet from sin
While here on earth / roam.
And when I'm done with this dull clay,
Take me to thy heavenly home.

s. Houston on the Texas TrOnb.
les and on LincOln,s Election.

A correspondent of the Galveston
News, writing from Independence, Texas,
Oct. 2lst, gives the folowingl sketch of a
speech delivered there by Governor Hous-
ton:
In regard TO the recent raid and incen-
diarism in Texas, he said it had been exag-
gerated and misrepresented by the letter
'lhat man, Pryor, of Dallas" the brother,
he said, of Roger A. Pryor, of Virginia,
who had some time since sent a certain
challenge. The fact was that there had
been but one white man hung in Texas for
Observation-Disclosures, of Henderson and
two negroes; and there had never been
vial or bottle of poison found in the, pos
session of any other negroes in the State
thus intimating very clearly that the 9TH
ers who were punished were unjustly pun
ished.
As to the House burnings, it had been
reported at one time that there were four
teen houses burned in the city of Austin,
when in fact there was only shanty or
shed in the outskirts of the city burned;
and he accounted for the burning of that
by the carelessness of the Dutch who were
lounging and smoking there at the time.
He said that this Pryor letter had injur-
ed and was greatly injuring our country
its effects were being felt everywhere; our
lands depreciating in value; persons from
other States were afraid to immigrate here,
and great many were leaving our State.
Only the other day gentleman from
Northern Texas had told him that on his
way he had met two hundred wagons,
with at least five persons in each wagon,
on their way to Arkansas and Kansas
some leaving for fear their negroes would
be falsely accused of inceudiarism and
hung, and others for fear they, as not be-
ing Shareholders, might be charged with be-
ing abolitionists and lynched.
However much he might regret the
election of Lincoln, still, if constitutional
ly elected, he ought and should be inau-
gurated. "Yes, they would have to walk
over his dead body if he was not"
The Governor was very severe on Cal
houn and South Carolina, but lauded Ben
ton, Clay and others. He never missed an
opportunity to give thrust and to heap
abuse upon South Carolina and her doc
trines.
