Q my boy, look upon the Southern States as

who would make this war one Of blood shed

The suiter he goes to the planter so grand,
And Give me your daughter" says he;
"For each unto other we've plighted our loves
love her and so she loves me-"
Says he,
"And married we're wishing to be-"
The planter was deeply affected indeed,
Such touching affection to see;
"The giving could mt Afford but I'll sell
Her for six hundred dollars to thee"
Says he,
Her mother was worth that to me.''
Which / quote from a sweet ballad recently
found among some rebel leavings at York
town.
Since the occupation of Paris by the Mack
erel Brigade, affairs there have been admins
tered with great intellectual ability by Capt.
William Brown, who has been appointed Pro
visional Governor, 10 govern the sale Of pro
visions.
The city Of Paris, my boy, as I told you
lately. is laid out n one house at present;
and since the discovery, that what were al
first supposed to be dahgren guns by our
forces were really a number of old hats with
their rims cut off, laid in row on the top of
the earlbwoiks, The den ocracy have stopped
talking about the general Of the Mackerel
Brigade Tor the next President.
The one house, however, was boarding
house; and though all the boarders left at the
approach Of our troops, it was subsequently
discovered that all Of them, save one, were
good Union men, and were bruially forced TO
fly by that one Confederate miscreant.
When William heard Of the fate Of these
noble and oppressed patriots, my boy, he suf-
fered tear 10 drop iLto the tumbler he had
just poured, and says he:
Just Revings! can this be sol Ahl" says
William, lifting bottle near by, 10 sec that
no rebel WAS concealed under it, ~ will issue

selves"
Nobody believed il could be cone, my boy
nobody believed it could be dore; but Will.
lam understood his species, and issued the
following
PROCLAMATION.
The Union men Of the South are hereby
informed that the United States Of America
has re asserted hissef, and will shortly open
bar room in Paris. Also, cigars and other
necossaries of life. By order of
CAPT. WILLIAM BRowN, Eskeqire.
"Therew ssys William, "the human in
tel!ect may do what violence may iai TO ac-
compish. Ahw says William, 4" moral sua-
sion is more majestic than an army with ban
ners.'
In just half sn hour after the above proc
amaiion was issued, my boy, the hum Of
countless approaching voices called us TO the
iamparts. A vast multitude was approach
ng. 1t was the Union men Of the South
my boy, who had read the manifesto OF
benefcent government, and were coming
back to take the oath-wilh trife Of sugar
in il.
How necessary it is, my boy, that men in
trusted with important commands-GeLera's
and Governors responsible for the paciication
and wlfare Of misguided provinces-should
understand just how and when to touch that
sensitive chord TO our common nature which
,ibra,es respousicely when man is invited to
take something by bis felowmap.
Scarcely had William assumed his office and
suppressed two reporters, when there were
brought before him a fugitive contraband Of
the color Of old meerscbaum, and planter
from the adjacent country who claimed the
slave
"It's me-that's Misther Murphy-would
lie afther axing your riverence to return the
black cray,ur0 at once" says the planter; "foy
It's mesel that owues him, and he run'd away
right under mo nose and eyes as soon as me
back was turned"
"Abw says William, balancing tumbler
in his right hand, are you Southerner, Mr..
Murphy?"
"Yay sir" says Mr.. Murphy, "t's that l
am, intirey. Be the same tokens, was rals
ed and born in the shwate Soulh-the South
of Ireland
"Are you Cbivalry" says William,
thougbtfully.

and mo father befopr me, and me cbilders
that's ahher me. II Cbivalry was praties

"Morphy is q French name" says William,
drawine copy of Vattel on International
Law from hs pocket and glancing at it, but
| W II not dispute what you say. You must
do without your contraband, however; for
slavery and martial law don't agree together
in ibe United States Of America"
"Mr. Black" SAYS William, gravely, turn

from henceforth free man and brother in.

William, epcourag pgly, and no man has II

j j'ymcut of Hevipg's best gift-Freedoml Go
and black my boots"
The u oral grandeur Of this speech, my
boy, so affected the Southern planter that he
at once became Union man, took the oath
with the least bit Of water in il, and asked
permission TO have bis own boots blackened.

The bondmans hope, the poets dream,
From pole 10 pole extend thy swny,
And travel through by steam"
