be a great sin and to deal with by the Ses-

young woman, great fayorite with the
minister, had been guilty of dancing at
friends wedding. She was summoned be-
fore the Session to be dealt with-the grim
OLD fellows siernly concentrating their eyes
upon her as She stood trembling in her
stGiped short gown and her pretty bare ieet.
The doctor, who was one of the divinity,
and a deep thinker, greatly plying her,
"Jessie, my woman, were ye dancin r.

dear little woman. "Then, Jessie, my
woman, aye dance," cried the delighted
doctor. And so say I, 10 the extent that Sc

There were groups OF dead men, lying IN
every altitude of combat and agony. Pools
of blood crimsoned the ground growing
deeper from the wounds of the yet unien-

kets, torn tents, fragments of army wagons,
wheels, conmissary stores, broken swords,

''There lay the steed with his nostriis all

person of one dear friead to another he
said -

But what must have been the power OF

obstinate old farmer. About two years al
terwaid however, person, an utter siran-

screwed up in piece of paper which he
asked me to examine and report on.

"When he was gone and had leisure, ]
put the hairs under the microscope, and
soon discovered that they were taken from
the back OF Norway rat.
Two or three days afterwards, as was
sitting in my consulting room, an old far

said he, ''has thee looked al them hairs g

The First Step Towards AmalgamatiOn.

ANY one who walks the streets OF Harris
burg may zee at almost every corner,
promiscuous crowd of white and black boys
playing together, wranging together and
practically carrying out the abolition doc
lrine of perfect equality between the races
1t not unfrequenuy happens that, in these
semblages, fights occur, in which white
boys get numerically whipped by The
blacks, who are not slow 10 avail them
selves of their superior size and strength
and who carry out The natural law which
gives right TO might.
Now, what can you expect from white
boy who is in the habit OF free aud equal in-
lercourse with black boys, whose home and
street education every one OF our citizens
/ understands.
Can The white boy who has been kicked
/ and cufed by negro entertain the self-re-
| speci and sense OF shame calculated 10 re-
strain him from low and immoral hab-
i It's?
The aphorism that evil communications
corrupt good manners was never more inlly
exempllfied than liz the present case We
wonder that parents do not interposa 10
correct an evil so demoTalIzing 10 the rising
generation, and which unfortunately, is one
of .he biilerest fruits OF the turbid stream oi
Abolition speeches, essays and tracts sown
broad cast over the land by tanaics whose
morbid sympathy Tor the blacks prepares
the degradation oil the whIles!
How long will the people suffer iu Iheii
midst these howing dervIshes whose sole
object seems 10 be 10 pull down the white
10 lie legel oil the blacks! Whose can't is
the dignity of white labor, and who's
practice is the degradation Of that labor, b.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll or
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is greater
transgression TO the laws of woman's ma
ture, greater in jury 10 her physical and

her task will live and grow old, and see
two or three generations OF her mistress
