No SPEAKING SATURDAY NIGHT.-Co'.
Ryan, owing to the pressing duties of
his office as City Attorney, of Indianap-

A GommendahIe Charity.

"A few friends of the colored people of
this city are about to undertake the en-
terprise of building schoothouse for
colored children.
/ For more than four years, school for
these children has been taught by a most
worthy young lady, under the auspices of
the American Missionary Society.
She has been very much encouraged
in her efforts. The scholars have made
commendable progress, largely exceed.
ing her expectations, but the tenementin
which her labors have been pursued, is
tumbling into decay, and has been occu-
pied already too long, as it regards tie
health of either teacher or scholars.
She now, with other friends, appeals
to the liberality of the Christian and
philanthropic of our city, on behalf of a
long neglected race.
The lowest amount calculated upon
as necessary to purchase lot, put up
plain building, and furnish it properly,
is from twelve to fifteen hundred dol
lars
With reasonable amount of readi-
ness on the part of our citizens, the
work could be accomplished without be-
ing burdensome to any.
The State has wisely made provision
for the education of its white children,
but nothing has ever been done for the
blacks. They have hitherto been sad
II neglected race, blamed for stupidity
and ignorance, when they have been ex
cluded from all sources of knowledge.
Let US at least afford them the
chance of a common school education.
The American Missionary Society has
sustained a teacher in our city, let us at
least furnish house where she may pur-
sue her labors.
A general call will be made in a few
days, upon the friends of humanity. II
INVALID CoRPs.-The Colussus yes
terday brought down to this city one
company of the I'd Battalion, Invalid
Corps. These are veterans who have
seen service, and have lost leg or an
arm. They will be employed in the hos
pital as nurses, cooks, &C., and will re-
lieve from such duty and send to the
field thousands of able-bodied men who
will be useful to swell the ranks of our
armies in the field.
The lst Battalion of the Invalid Corps
is composed of men who are permanently +
disabled, physically, for active field duty, {
long marches, picket duty, and the exer-
tions of battle, who retain their limbs /
sound These will be employed in Quar-
termasters' Departments, and to do Pro
vost Guard duty.
The arrangement is an admirable one,
and will add greatly to the numerical |
strength and efficiency of our armies.

WELL DIRECTED LIBERALITY.-Some
months ago Mr.. Thomas II. Barr, an en-

structed the sanitary commissioner rot
that city to draw on him for 800 worth
of medicines or any article in his line,
for the benefit of the families of soldiers
in the field, or of soldiers who have lost
their lives in the service

Haute papers, he again placed to the
credit of the Commissioner $500 worth

sa% The New Albany Ledger is re-
calling its readers weekly with what it
denominates Maynardisms, clipped from
the Cannelton Reporter
The following is sample, and shows
the insipid stuff on which its readers are
fed:
"a Republican paper says, the war
has progressed until we can see the be-
ginning of the end The bitter end"
1t is very probably the end we begin
to see is bitter to the editor of the Cam

Winona was daughter Of an In.

FRANKNESS.

The dearest friends live together for
years, without daring to speak things
which they know and which each par
ty knows that the other knows. Pa
rents live with a reserve years long
toward their children. Children carry
untouched, unsyllabled, thoughts and
feelings that take hold Of their very
being. Friends meet and part day by
day-friends so true that they woult
almost de for each other! or, what il
harder than this, to iire FOR each othel
-and never speak of things that eacl
knows is passing in the others mind
Was there ever thoughtful. sensi
tive person. that dared TO be open
transparent, frank I But. however this
may be, there can be no doubt that
people are not frank enough for each
others good. II men knew how to
speak the truth in love, how rich
might one become A man might
then stand in q focus of the wisdom
of his friends. But. refusing to let
their lights shine, men may grope in
the partial lights of their own wisdom
distempered with self-love.

What the Hand Findeth to Do"

NV true love laid her hand ON mine,
Her soft and gentle hand.
Twas like wreath of purost snow
Upon the embrowned land.
As white it was as snow new fallen,
Like snow without its chill
And the blue veins marbled it sweetiy o 'er,
But left il snowlike STILL
I looked at her hand, so white and soft;
At my own so brown and hard;
"This is for strife and toll" said;
And that for love and reward.
This is to keep the wolf of Want
Away from the hearth of home;
And this to welcome me tenderly,
When back to that hearth come.
"This is TO labor with tireless nerves,
Perchance at tasks that soil;
And this TO greet with a loving clasp
The palm that is rough with toll.
"Ths is to win through rock and wood
A way, where way seemed none;
And this to chafe the poor proud limbs
That drop when the goal Is won.
/" This is to grasp in the worlds long fight
And this to bind up the aching wounds
Ta'en on the well-fought field.
" This is TO put forth all its strength
In Earth's rough tasks and strife
And this to kindle the sweet loye-fres
That brighten the march of life.
" For labor, and sweat, and scars is this
And this to scatter round
The flowers of beauty. and love, and hope,
On Homes enchanted ground.
I" would these fingers, for thy sweet sake,
Might a giants strength command,
To toll for and guard thee worthily--
But Love will strengthen my hand.
"And If ever its weakness jerome its will,
And it fail in its toilsome part,
The fate that disables my fainting hand,
As surely will still my heart"
