ssGOING PEnMISKIIS.

During the night when Kirby Smith
was supposed to be beleaguering this city.
the colored population was in a condition
of agitation not second in demonstrstive-
ness TO that prevailing among white folks
An incident took place at one Of their
s.war meetings which should be record
ed. The able bodied colored men were
debating the propriety of rendering their
services 10 the government as volunteers
for the war. The prevailing impression
had been that they ought to do il. and
their patriotic emotions were at high
African temperature. But before the
vote was taken, a tall, and very black
fellow, produced a sudden revulsion OF
feeling by delivering himself as follows
IN in favor of goin', and will go in

BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-In the mountains
of Tyrol, it is the custom of the women
and children to come out when it is bed
time and sing their national song. until
they hear their husbands, fathers and
brothers answer them from the hills on
their return home. On the shores of
the Adratic, such custom prevails.
There the wives of the fishermen come
down about sunset and sing a melody.
After singing the first stanza. they listen
awhile for 2 answering melody from the
water. telling that the loved one is almost
home. How sweet to the weary fisher
man. as the shadows gathering around
him. must be the songs of the loved ones
at home that sing to cheer him, and how
they must strengthen and tighten the
links that bind together those humble
dwellers by the sea.
