The Emancipation Proclamation---
r1. ssaa How it W forks.
An officer in the army gives us the
following incident:
Somewhere in tho Southwest, with
in the Federal lines, dwells the owner
of several slaves, who has succeeded in
keeping his human property safe thro'
all the events of the war, and who was
accustomed to boast not immoderately
of the devotion which his slaves bore
toward him. lie was not afraid Of the
Presidents proclamations- he
lie treated his slaves like humans, and
they know it. They didn't want their
liberty be induced TO leave
preferred remaining as slaves under
good master, &C., &c. On the morn
ing Of the frst. Of January, the aforesaid
owner was surprised by the noise OF
cheering aud other uproarous demon,
strations before his door, and on going
~ farther to sec what it meant, was still
more surprised to6ndhs negroes drawn
up in a body, with bundles on their
1 backs, and everything indicating the y
Eerc about to take their departure
A few words sntficod to explain the sit,
~ uation. The negroes had concluded tc
avail themselves of the liberty which
they supposed had beeu given them by
Mr. Linkum, but as they felt gratefu
for past kind treatment, they though
before they left they would stop and bic
'massa' goodbye This unmistakabl'
indication of independence brough
things to crisis. The master was no
prepared to loose his slaves, and III,
slaves, had no personal disliking to th,
mnster. 1t was, therefore, not Difficult
for all parties to como to an understand
ing when the disposition for mutua
concession existed The master agree'
to pay the negroes wages for their labor
and the negroes agreed to stay and worI
for wages. And so the thing was set
tied Missouri Democrat.

Female DressineSs.

Under the head of alarming Demonstra
tions among the ladies'" the New York Even
ing Post recently gave US the following:
For some time past there has been an evi
dent inclination among the ladies of fashion
to revive the absurdities of dress of olden
times, at any expense of comfort and beauty
The 'sky-scraper' bonnets have assumed pro-
portions of singular extent and inconv enient
shape. The dressing of bonnets is becoming
a study of no ordinary complications. White
ostrich feathers are the prevailing ornament
for the bonnet, and have very pretty effect.
Immense bows of white muslin are also COM
ing III vogue. They are worn at the throat,
and are ingeniously constructed so as to cover
the breast, being furnished with wide tabs
which depend from the bows at lengths to
suit the wearer. These bows are eminently
suggestive of mourning CARDS, and thus our
young ladies are assuming the appearance of
those dangerous creatures, "vidders," for
which we see the warnings of Mr. Samivel
Weller, senior. But far beyond crinolines,
beyond pages" beyond ''sky-scrapers," and
beyond widows bows, looms up a new hor-
ror. 1t may belterally said that 'horrors on
horrors head accumulate"

s. THE Scanned HOrn,s-A Religions Tale.

Chaplain Gladds said, at the commence
ment of his speech, that even 4 preacher
might get mad under certain circumstances.
He illustrated this by narrating the following
At camp meeting once an old brother was
detailed to bring sinners to the altar of re-
pentance by sounding horn. During a tenn
porary absense from his post of duty, an I'M
regenerated person filed the horn with soft
soap. When the brother came back to re-
sumo the vocation of Gabriel, he discovered
the trick that had been played upon him.
Said he, 81 have been a member of the
church for forty-fiye years, and minister of
the Gospel for thirty-fve. l have never
sworn an oath in my life, but d-n me if l
don't whip the man that soaped my horn. "
Pretty soon the altar was crowded with
mourners, and the spirits influence was man.
ifesting itself very satisfactorily except in
one heart that seemed very stubborn. The
proprietor of the horn approached this obdu-
rate case and asked him how he felt. The
poor sinner couldn't feel his sins forgiven, and
the Throne of Grace. He had committed an
objectionable sin, he said.
Ah," said the preacher, the blood of
Christ cleanscth from all sim"
"All, except the one I've committed" said
the sinner
what can it be, brother-is it murder,
arson, rape, or adultery?"
Worse than that" sobbed the unconver-
ted one.
The minister looked at his st. hearted
subject a moment, and then suiting the action
to the word said, "Will some brother hold
my coat? Here's the damned rascal that
soaped my horn" The preacher whipped
the sinner, who soon after receiving The pun
ishment became thoroughly converted

THE SOLDIERS PLEASED WITH THE UNION
TIcKET.-A Vicksburg letter of the 18th inst,
published in the Wisconsin, states that the
writer has converSed with members of most
of the Wisconsin regiments down the river,
and adds
They know that united North would soon
crush out the rebellion, and that its present
existence is to great extent kept alive by
the support that the Copperheads in the
North give it. They feel confident that a
Union victory in this fall election will greatly
encourage them and chagrin the rebels
They are highly pleased with the Union State
ticket, and feel confident it will be successful,
and will give it their hearty and unanimous
support. They are especially pleased with
the nominations of James T. Lewis and Col
Fairchild They feel under obligations to
Mr.. Hastings for the interest he has taken in,
and the prompt manner in which he has fur
nished the State pay due their wives and
those dependent upon them for support.

A LARGE PnE.-The Shullsburg Local says
that Mr.. R. H. CHAMPION, of New Diggings,
Lafayette county, Wisconsin, sold, recently,
the large quantity of l 200, 900 lbs of mineral,
which brought the snug sum of s45 1000, and
that he has 100000 lbs more ready for sale.
His mines are yielding at the rate of $4,000
lbs per day, with no apparent decrease. Mr..
CHAMPION deserves this rich reward for his
indomitable perseverance in running level
through the hills to drain his diggings at an
expense which well nigh exhausted his means
Having succeeded in drawing off the water,
all the treasure which he is now taking out
became accessible

from the Atlantic Monthly for October
A NEW BALLAD By WHITTIER,
BARBARA FR1ETCHIE.

Up from the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the bills OF wary ianu
Ronnd about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach-tree fruited oeeP:
Fair as n garden of the Lord
To the ewes Of the furnished rebel horde,
ON that pleasant morn of the early fall
when Lee marched over the mountain wall
over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot, into Frederick tow :.
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind: the sun
OF noon looked down, and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her fourscors years and ten
Brayest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down
In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced the old flag met his sight.
.sHalt 1.-THE dust-browu ranks stood fast.
:sFire n'--out biazed the rifle blast.
1t shiYered the window, pane and sash;
1t rent the banner with seam and cash.
Quick, as it fell, from the broken staff
Dame Barbara suatched the silken scarf;
She leaned far out on the window-sill,
And shook il forth with q royal will.
"Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country's fag," she said.
A shade of sadness, blush of shame,
over the face of the leader came
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word
"Who touches hair of yon gray head
Dies like a dog March on ~ he said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread OF marching feet
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads OF the rebel host.
Ever it's torn folds rose and fell
ON the loyal winds that loved it we'll
And through the hiIl-gaps sunset light
Shone ovcS it with warm goodnight.
Barbara Frietchie's work is DER,
And the rebel rides on his raids more.
Honor to her and let tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier.
Over Barbara Fristchie's grave
Flag Of Freedom and Union, waVel
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town! i

REVERSING THE ENGINE.-When the present
political campaign in Ohio opened, the Demo
Gratis published a pamphlet titled ''Vallandig-
hams Record" 1t consisted mainly of ex-
tracts from speeches of "the martyr" 1t
was published before the capture of Vicks-
burg. With the frightening prospects of the
National cause 'Vallandigham's Record" was
withdrawn from market. His friends attempt
ed to suppress it, but the Union men got hold
of it, republished it, and are now using it as
campaign document against him.

sS God offers to every mind its choice
between truth and repose. Take which you
please; you can never have both. Between
these, as pendulum, man oscillates. He in
whom the love of repose predominates will
accept the first creed, the first philosophy
the first political party he meets, most likely
his fathers He gets rest commodity and
reputation; but he shuts the door of truth.
He in whom the love of truth predominates
will keep himself aloof from all moorings,
and afoat. He will abstain from dogmatism,
and recognize all the opposite negations be-
tween which, as walls, his being is swung.
He submits to the Inconvenience of suspense
and imperfect opinion, but he is candidate
for truth, as the other is not and respects the
highest law of his being-Emersoa

sE@ An exchange, in reply to the elamor
of the rebel sympathizers of the North for
some overture by the President to the South
ern traitors, justly says: The Southern peo-
pie have no right to ask the President to
promise them anything whatever as condi-
ton of laying down their arms. Everything
he could promise which is to effect their per-
manent welfare and civil condition, is al
ready guaranteed to them by the Constitution
the shelter and protection of that great char
ter, and their rights are perfectly secure.
This they can do-and this they must do. if

CoNJUGATIoN AND AGREEgENT.-In q lesson
in parsing the sentence, "Man, counting ca
pacty of bliss" etc, the word q courting"
came to pert young miss of fourteen to
parse. She commenced hesitatingly, but got
along well enough until she was to tell what
it agreed with. Here she stopped short. The
