been under fire.

The Only Safe Retreat.

A negro preacher in the course Of q
sermon said:
"Bredrin, dar is two roads, and you
hab your choice---one leads to per-
dition an de oder to damnation!"
An aged niger in state of great
excitement exclaimed:
"Golly if dat's de case, dis darky
takes TO de woods!'
Our Democratic friends are in the
same fix exactly: "Dar's two roads,
for them. The open rebel vallandig-
ham road leads as straight to perdi,
ton as a apigeon flies-the dol nothing,
for against the Government road
is direct route for damnation.

was thrown into state of healthy excite

old gentleman of6j,who had been exasperated
by the reasonable course of the copperheads.
Mr. Funk is a rich farmer, who pays $4,000
in annual taxes, and though not much of
rhetorcan, has the faculty of saying exactly
what he means. This is a specimen of the
style in which he told the plain truth TO the
traitors, who WINGED and writhed fearfully
