The Oath Of Allegiance.

Pbe National AtsHigsncsr says the
following form of oath Of allegiance has
been prepared with view to its being ad-
miristered to all the employees Of the
government connected with the several
departments. The form was prepared by
the Attorney General, who was himself.
we believe, the first to take and subscribe
to the oath, aud we presume that no
one in the service of the government,
will. al such time as the present, refuse
to taken it, unless his COINCIDENCE fOrbids
to be true TO it,

to make it victorious. These remarks
apply to the border as we'll as free states.
Thirdly, the demonstrations growing out
of this policy settle for the time the an
ticipated trouble from tariff conflicts, as
trade will not go to the same vicinity
with squadrons and troops. Fourthiy,
it legitimately augments The expenditures
and all the embarrassment which natu-
rally environ the path of the conspirators-
+" The way of the transgressor is hard,
and it ought to be made SO.
Thus we see that the government 10
not only well-meaning--it has the inside
track. If it continues to show the same
wisdom, it is master of the situation TO
the end. 1t will not only exhibit seces-
sion as a crime, but it will convict it of
being blunder.-B Boston Journal.

THE DOKOS.

Chambers Journal, discussing a recent
book of missionary travels in Africa thus
alludes to one of the tribes which are
found in that terra incognita -
" But the strangest of all are the sto-
ries told of the Dokos, who live among
the moist, warm bamboo woods to the
south of Kaffa and Susa. Only four feet
high, of dark olive color, savage and
naked, they have neither houses nor tenn
Piles, neither fire nor human food. They
live only on ants, mice, and serpents, di-
versifed by few roots and fruits; they
let their nails grow long like talons, the
better to dig for ants and the more easily
to tear in pieces their favorite snakes
They do not marry, but live indiscrimi-
nate lives of animals, multiplying very
rapidly, and with very little maternal in
stinct. The mother nurses her child for
only short time, accustoming it TO eat
ants and serpents as soon as possible ;
and when il can help itself it wanders
away where it will and the mother thinks
no more about it. The Dokos are inval-
liable as slaves, aud are taken in large
numbers. The slave hunters hold up
bright colored clothes when they como to
the warm bamboo woods where these hu-
man monkeys live, and the Dokos can
not resist the attractions offered by such
superior people. They crowd around
them, and are taken in thousands. In
slavery they are docile, attached, obedi-
ent, with few wants and excellent health.
They have only one fault-love for ants,
mice and serpents, and habit of speak
ing to Yer with their heads on the ground
and their heels in the air. Yer is their
idea of a superior power, to whom they
talk in this comical nature when they are
dispirited or angry, or tired of ants and
snakes, and longing for unknown food.
The Dokos seem to come nearest of all
people yet discovered to that terrible
cousin Of humanity-the ape.

WASHINGTON AND THE CzAR.

The Governor of South Carolina, on
the 22d ut., in reply to an address from
the Commander Of the f" Pickens Cadets"
related the following interesting facts
al remember while in a distant court
of Europe, and at the most despotic OF
all governments, that on a memorable
occasion / visited the magnificent gar
dens that surround Peterhof, near St.
Petersburg. The gardens and grounds
were dedicated to the enjoyment and
peaceful pursuits of the greatest and most
brilliant of courts. On a remote island
of these magnificent grounds that had
been set aside for the private enjoyment
and private walks of the Emperor and
Empress, tree was pointed out TO me in
that garden, cultivated by particular and
devoted hands, surrounded by wire wick
et-work, and flowers fourishing all a.
round il. There stood on one branch OF
the tree a large brass plate, and on one
side of that plate, in German, and on the
other in Scalvonic, was written, This
tree was planted in 1889, by Nicholas,
from an acorn that grew near the tomb
of the great Washington This was the
inscription upon that tree, placed there
by one OF the most absolute rulers that
ever swayed the scepter of empire. And
yet in his private, secluded gardens, he
paid this deep heartfelt tribute to the
memory of the greatest and purest man
the world ever saw.
He did not take an acorn from near
the tomb of the great Elizabeth; nor did
he take it from the garden of the Tul-
leries, grown in the time of Louis the
XIV; nor did he take ii from the tomb
of the great Napoleon nor did he take
it from the garden of the Caesars, near
Rome but he took an acorn from the
tomb of a pure and mighty man, in the
wlds of America, who had planted the
seeds Of government consecrated 10 the
freedom and independence Of nations,
whose every principle was directly at
war with the principles of its own gov
ernment; and yet SO great were the
virtues and integrity of Washington.
that even this mighty monarch, in private
and secret, paid 10 him bis heartfelt and
deep tribute. The tree was watered and
cultivated with more care than any of
the trees in that garden. 1t was -four
shing and green, and trust in God il
will continue to flourish fresh and green
until its branches shall oyerspread the
civilized world.
| have also seen the cossack of the
Don and the Yolga | have seen the
Lancers of Russia, and l have seen the
Tartar and the Arab IN the wilds of the
interior, and yet, Notwithstanding their
sem-barbarian life, even they converse
of the mighty Washington in their tents
at night. There is no portion OF the
world that has not heard of his name,
and love and admire his great and manly
aud virtue

A COMFORTER.
she CONC to me. LITTLE Enle--

Will she come to me, little Efie--
Will she come in my arms to rest,
And nestle her head on my shoulder,
While the sun goes down in the west
| and EfIle will sit together,
All alone in this great armchair
Is it silly to mind it, darling,
When life Is so hard to bearl
No one comforts me like my Effie,
Just think that she does not try
Only looks with a wistful wonder,
why grown people should ever cryj
While her little soft arms close tighter,
Round my neck in their clinging hold;
Well, must not cry ON your hair, dear,
For my tears might tarnish the gold.
am tired Of trying to read, dear;
1t is worse to talk and seem gay:
There are some kinds Of sorrow, Efie,
1t is useless to thrust away.
All advice may be wise, my darling,
But one always knows it before;
And the reasoning down ones sorrow
Seems to make one suffer the more.
But my Efiic won't reason, Will she
Or endeavor to understand;
Only hold up her mouth to kiss me,
As she strokes NY face with her hand.
If you break your plaything yourself, dear,
Don't you cry for it all the same
don't think it is such a comfort
One has only ones self to blame.
People say things cannot be helped, dear,
But, then, that is the reason why,
Forif things could be helped or altered,
One would never sit down to cry.
They say. too, that tears are quite useless,
To undo, amend, or restore
When think hot0 useless, my Efie,
Then my tears only fall the more.
All to-day l struggled against it,,
But that does not make sorrow cease,
And now dear, it is such blessing
To be able to cry in peace.
Though wise people would call that folly,
And demonstrate with grave SURPRISE
We won't mind what they say, my EfIie,
We never professed to be wise
But my comforter knows a lesson,
Wiser, trucr than all the rest
That to help and to heal a sorrow,
Love and silence are always best.
Well--who Is my comforter tell me!
Effie smiles, but she will not speak,
Or look up through the long curled lashes
That are shading her rosy check.
Is she thinking Of talking fishes,
The blue bird, or magical tree
Perhaps am thinking, my darling,
OF something that never can be.
You long-don't you, dear for the genii
Who were slaves of lamps and Of rings;
And IL am sometimes afraid, dear,
want as impossible things.
But bark there is nurse calling Elie;
1t is bedtime, so run away
And must go back, or the others
VIII be wondering why stay.
SO good night to my darling Effie;
Keep happy, sweetheart, and grow wise
There's one kiss for her golden tresses
And two for her sleepy eyes.

In a small back chamber sat pale, e,sweet
faced, patient looking woman, reading a
letter which had just been left for her by
the postman.
Thank God ? she said, as she finished
reading it, and her soft brown eyes were
lifted upward. 1t looked very dark,
she murmured, but the morning has
broken again.
