The Interest Of Am ricam LA
bOrers.

sfAmerican labsrers need any insight
into the designs Of the Southern leaders ol
this rebellion as regards lab,r an1 Amer
lean laborers, there is no lack Of light or
doubtfulness Of meaning, in their own open
declarations.
Said DeBow, in the NeU Orleans Reciep
"7'hs right to govern resides in a Gerry small
minority the duty to obey is inherent in
the great mass of mankina."
Spratt, of South Carolina, in an adress to
the Confederate Congress at Mon tgomery,
in l s6l, SAID: "The contest now pending
is not between the North and South as geo
graphical sections -" nor between people
of the North, and the people Of the South,
for our relations hare been pleasant" "But
th. real contest lies between the too forms
of fsocisty'' Society Is essentially different
from government" an the one, the reins
Of government come from heels; in the other
from the head of the society" Tbs princi-
pile that all men are equal woml1 hare been
destructive ofslaoery at tbs South"
But the declaration of the Charleston
lNercury--so well known-is outright and
.unmistakeable: "Slapery is tbs natural
and normal condition of the laboriag men,
achether white or black"
Such, then, is the issue distinctly pre-
sented before American laborers in this war
Of the rebellion. Oa the one side, slave
labor, -on the other, free labor; on the one
side, labor degrades,-on the other, labor
honored on the one side, the acknowledg.
ment Of universal equality under the Consti-
tution,-on the other, express and irrevoca-
bic denial of the constitutional declaration
Of equality itself

In one of our New England towns lived
Deacon Brown, staid, dignified sort Of a
Christian, and model of propriety. Dea-
con Brown had the misfortune to loose his
wife, and at the age Of forty found himself
with family Of four small children, with
out mistress to his farmhouse. As he
could not immediately take another wife
and avoid exciting scandal, and GOULD not
get along without some one to take charge
Of the kitchen and nursery, he had recourse
to employin, young woman as hoasemaid.
Nancy Stearns was laughing. romping
beauty, who delighted in experimenting
upon the Deacon by way of testing the
strength of human nature. For a long
time the Deacon was inyulnerable; but at
last, in moment of unguarded weakness,
he was led into temptation, ard into CON-
mtting a slight indiscrction with the
beautiful housemaid. When in his wonted
cooInsss and presence Of mind, he was hor.
ritied at the enormity of bis sin. In vain
he repented and grieved over his lost virtue.
Finally, as last effort for easing his con-
science, at the conclusion of the services on
the following Sabbath morning, he arose
and requested the forbearance Of the breth-
rem and sisters few moments, when be
electrified them by making the following
confession : a
"My Christian friends, you all know that
I lost my dear wife some months ago (sobs
and tears. y and that Nancy Stearns has been
keeping house for me; and you know that
| have little child not a year old. Well
that little child would cry in the night, and
it would be long time before could quiet
it; and last Tuesday night-God forgive
me! THE child cried so hard that Nancy
arose and came into the room and leaned
over the bed to hush the child-and, broth
ers and sisters, her leaning over me made
me forget Christi"
Here the worthy Deacon broke down en-.
tirely, and stood weeping, wailing and blow
ing his nose.
What did you do!" sternly demrnded
rhe minister.
I'LL kissed her I" stammered out
the Deacon, between his sobs, :" but have
been very CORY about it, and have prayed
to be forgiven-and I want you to forgive
me and pray for me, brothers and sisters"
AS the Deacon bowed himself upon his
seat like the mighty oak before the tornado,
Deacon Goodfellow arose and astonished
the audience still more by saying:
Brothers and sisters, you have heard
what brother Brown has said, and now he
wants our forgiveness. For my part, I
think brother Brown is truly penitent, and
| am Wiling to forgive him with my
whole heart. And, brothers and sisters,
viii add still farther, that, if had no wife,
and pretty girl like Nancy Sterns should
come to my room, and lean over my bed,
and lean over me, I'd kiss her, and abide
the consequences"
