MORNINGI,EADER



At tremendous emancipation meeting
in New York on Wednesday evening, Hon.
Lyman Tremain referred to negro allies of
the Union army in these stirring words:
aBuL says some timid conservative,
uWould you arm negroes, and turn them
loose2" I reply, l would save this Gov
ernment by all the instTumentalities known
to civilized warfare. Immence applause. !
would use the negroes to dig trenches, to
drive army wagons, to perform camp labor
Those competent for military service I
would drill for the field, but not turn them
loose. That it. " Negroes proved them
selves good soldiers in the war of the Rev
olution, at New-0rleans in 1915, in West
India armies But would introduce them
g into our army proper only to a limited ex-
tent. I would detail the fighting material
among them for special service. For ex-
ample: The South are making this a war
Of guerrilla raids. By their manner of
prosecuting it in many localities, they have
put themselves outside the pale Of ordinary
warfare. I would checkmate these white
Rebel guerrillas with black loyal guerrillas
Loud and prOtracted cheers. Many slaves
are bold riders. Others are swift on foot
On horseback and on foot with proper drill
and judicious commanders, l would place
in the hands Of choice bands Ofintelligent
and obedient negroes, in the malignant
Cotton States, reyolvers, carbines, and sa-
{ bers. Applausel Pointing them TO the
cattle on a thousand hills, and the waving
grain in the intervening yallies, and tax
ing care that all loyal plantations shall be
spared, l would shout, Descendants of the
homeland of TOussaint L 0uVerture, in
the name of God and Liberty, srike home"
Tremendous applause, renewed again and
again. Let us not be alarmed. The negro
IS not an incendiary. He is not cruel.
Ages of oppression have proved him docile,
obedient and kind. He will do no unnec-
essary harm. These Rebels are not fit to
be drowned in the tears of their slaves.
TApplause In these two modes, then,
Slavery can infict the death-wound upon
the Rebellion. Like Samson in the temple
of the Philistines, it can lay its hands up

conspiracy, and crush it and itself in one

our President Cheers he has rolled
Slavery into one big, black bombshell, and

Making Tracks.

A light snow had fallen, and the boys
desired to make the most of it. 1t was
too dry for snowbaling, and not deep
enough for coasting. 1t did very well to
make tracks in.
There was a large meadow near the
pl &C where they were assembled. 1t
was proposed that they should go to a
tree which stood near the centre Of the
meadow, and that each should start from
the tree and should see who could make
the straightest track-that is, go from the
tree in the nearest approach to straight
line. The proposition was assented to,
and they were soon at the tree. They
ranged themselves around it, with their
backs toward the trunk. They were
,ually distant from each other. If each
had GONE forward in straight line, the
paths would have been like the spokcs OF
wheel the tree rcprescntinS the hub
They were to 90 till they reached the
boundaries Of the meadow, when they
were to retrace their steps to the tree.
They did 50. | wish [ could give a
map of their tracks. Such a map would
not present much resemblance to the spokes
of the wheel.
Whose is the straightcst ?" said
James Alison to Thomas Sanders, who
was at the tree first.

that is strait at ALL

The Cumberland.

Al anchor in Hampton Roads We lay
On board of the Cumberland sloop of war
And At times from the fortress across the bay
The alarm of drums swept past,
Or the bugle blast
From the camp on shore.
Then far away to the South uprose,
A little feather of snow " hite smoke,
And we knew that the iron ship of our foes
Was steadily steering its course
To try the force
or our ribs of oak.
Down upon us heavily runs,
Silent and sullen, the floating fort:
Then comes a puff of smoke from her guns,
And leaps the terrible death,
With fiery breath.
From each open port.
We are not idle, but send her .traigh,
nedan ce back in a full broadside
As hail rebounds from a roof Of slate,
Rebounds our heavier hail
From each iron scale
OF the monsters hide.
.: Strike your flag the rebel cries,
In his arrogant old plantation strain.
Never :" our gallant Morris replies:
I'll is better 10 sink than TO Weld -
And the whole air pcaled
With the cheers Of our men.
Then, like a braken huge and black
She crushed our ribs in her iron grasp
Down went the Cumberland all a wreck,
With 4 sudden shudder OF death,
And the cannon's breath
For her dying gasp.
Next morn. as the sun rose over the bay,
Still aoatcd our IA. at the mainmast head
Lord. how beautiful was that day

Or dirgc for the dead.

HOW TO AVOID A BAD HUSBAND,

Never marry man for wealth. A
woman's life consisteth not in the things
she possesseth.
Never marry 4 fop, or one who struts
about dandy.like, in his silk gloves and
rufiies, with silver cane and rings on
his fingers. Beware There is trap.
Never marry niggard, close -6sted,
sordid wretch, who saves every penny Or
spends it grudgingly. Take care lest he
stint you to deSth,
Never marry stranger whose charac-
ter is not known Or tested. Some females
Jump right into the fire, with their eyes
wide open.
Never marry NOPE or drone, one
who drawls and draggles through life
one foot after another, and let things take
their own course.
Never marry man who treats his
mother OF sister jnkindly or indif1erently
Such treatment is sure indication of 4
mean ard wicked man,
Never, on any account, marry gam
bier, or a profane person, one who in the
least speaks lightly Of God or of religion.
Such man can never make good hus-
band
Never marry sloyen, a, man who is
negligent of his person or his dress, and
Is filthy in habit. The external appear
anco is an index to the heart.
Ghun the rake as the snake, a viper, a
very demon.
Finally, never marry man who Is ad-
dcted to the use of ardent spirits. De-
pend upon it, you are better off alone than
you would be were you tied to man
whose breath is polluted and whose yitas
are being gnawed oit by alcohol.

VARIETIES.


Memory seldom fails when its office is
to show us the sepulchres Of our buried
hopes.
No man shctld be SO much taken up
in the search of truth as thereby to neg
lect the more necessary duties of active
life; for, after all is done, it is action
only that gives true value and commen-
dation to virtue.
The lovers of the marvellous will be in
terested in the following:
TO dream Of a small stone around your
neck, is sign Of what you may expect if
you get an extravagant wife,
To see apples in a dream, betokens a
wedding, because where YOU find apples
you may expect to find pears.
TO dream that you are lame, is token
that you will get into a hobble.
When young lady dreams of d coffin,
it betokens that she shoald instantly dis
contihde the use Of tight stays, and al
ways go warmly and thickly shod in wet
weather.
To dream of fire. is sign that--if YOU
are wise-you will see that the lights in
your house are out before you go to bed,

A PRACTICAL MAN AMONG THE SECESSION
ISTS

Major Mckee, with competent Union
force, is on a hunt for secessonists in
Southern Missouri, and it is reported that
he has already nearly filed all the coun
ty jails. When he catches q secesh, he
says:
"Well, how much rebel have you
been? You know more about wha. you
have done than | do. l know some, and
you know it all"
One old man said, as he trembled.
"Major, l have not done anything"
"Stop" said the major, "you know you
have got some powder hid"
"Oh, yes, there is some"
"Tell it all, now" says the major.
"Well, l will, have got some twenty
ione kegs of powder and one gun. l fur
nished four horses 70 Price, and went
down to Smiths Chapel to fight the Feds
and | have fed any amount of rebels. !
wont lie any morel You have got it all
l have done all | could to.aid the South" :"
The Major has come down SO hard on
them that they fear to lie to him. An
other man came in to give himself up
and take the oath.
"Well, sir, what have you done?"
"Nothing."
"Well, sir, l will put you in Jail for
not doing something"
After he had been in Jail about two
hours he sent for the Major and told him
where there were eleven keggs of powder
and Government wagon, and owned to
helping cut up d ferryboat on the Missouri
river last summer.
