The Maiden's Dream.
A rustic maid sat on the hay,

A rustic maid sat on the hay,
Under an apple tree:
And softly the song of the Summer day,
Chined with her reverie.
The music of the mowers scythe,
The cricket IN the wall.
The bird song ever sweet and bliths,
Breathed through her musing all.
sob! would were a lady fair,
In a castle by the sea-:
And Id sit and dream the livelong day,
While the wave should sing to me.
I'd dream that fairy skif should land,
Meath the castle bv the sea.
T, bear me away from the golden strand
My lordly knight and me.
To palace grand on another shore
We'd go-my knight and L
And we'd happy be for evermore.
While the hours of life flew by"
So the maiden dreamed hut she dreamed aloud,
A stalwart mower heard
As he stopped to watch passing cloud
And he answered this bold word:
"Plav then that the breeze in these grand old tree
Is the murmnr o the
And, faith thou art a maiden fair,
As any queen could be.
PLAY I'm thy knight for love thee well
As anv knight can do:
And I'll be to thee no tongue can tell,
How brave and good and true.
There are bushes bright on each fair cheek,
Do they hid me stop my tale?
Or shall tell of cottage meek.
Meath an elm tree grand and hale"
The maiden blushed at her dreams agone
But said tried to sigh
Together and ever we'll happy be
While the hours of life fit by"
She cared no more for the castle grand,
The silver waves above:
The maid had found her hearts demand
In the yeomans honest love.

NEGRO EQUALITY.-Prentice, of the Louisville
journal, thus hits off those who prating of
negro equality:
The anti-Amendment people seem terribly APP
prehensive, that, unless restrained by the Con-
stitution they will inevitably marry niggers.
We have all heard of the noisy fellow who,
getting into Il quarrel, cried out to those around
him, :. Hold me, gentlemen, or | shall strike
him." Each anti-Amendment man seems calling
aloud in similar spirit, Hold me, dear Consti-
tuition, or | shall marry niger us sure rs you
are born" Butwe propose that the Constitution
stand off aud see fair play.

THE LITTLE Devil. This wonderful little
quartz mill subjected to a trial this morning
at the foundry of Goss 4 Lombard in the pres
ence of a large number of spectators, who were
delighted with its work, and warmly congratu-
lated Kendall on his success. Its weight is only
3 zoo pounds and it can be carried anywhere.
The crushing is done with set Of rotary ham
mers on a steel die. With six horse power it
will crush five tons per day. This morning it
occupied just sixteen minutes in crushing two
hundred and fifty pounds of the hardest white
quartz. The cost of the apparatus is but $500.

The SrRrGGLETo BE RENEWED. The Louisville
Journqi says there is programme now generally
understood by the scceSsionists, by winch the
Southern rebellion. with all its horrors, is to be
revived as soon the Federal armies shall be
disbAnded. The same appeals to sectional pref
ud,ce. which four years ago precipitated the
Southern States into civil war, now daily
made through the DcmocrM. of Louisville, to
the people of Kentucky. and obviously with the
same purpose that prompted the secession lead
crs in 1861. There is enough in this suggestion
of the Jonrnal says the San Francisco cal, to
cause Union men to pause in a course which bids
fair to lead tosf disruption of their organization.
The tone of the secession sympathiZing press
throughout this State is indicative Of generally
understood programme of the sort alluded to by
the J0urnnl.

THE OREGON MAL.-Concerning the daily over
land mail TO Oregon, the Bulletin of July 2Sth
states that the overland mail from Lincoln to
Portland had gone into the hands of Mr.. Reside,
OF Washington City, a new contractor. who ac-
cording to the contract, was to commence run
ming the mail on the LIST of July, but failing to
come to time, the California Stage Company
who have carried the mail for several years past
had consented to continue the job until the end
of July. We are now informed that they posi-
lively refuse to convey it any longer, and as the
new contractor has not the stock on hand neces
sary to do the work, the prospects are that after
Monday next the overland mail to Oregon will
cease. Reside sent agent ont here who at
first proposed to run the mail in buggy, but
abandoned that project upon discovering that
the mails for Oregon average about three tuns
per day, which has to be transported over $50
miles, and he is now awaiting instructions from
Reside, who is in Washington. Mr.. GaSklll,
special agent of the Post Office Department, is
awaiting authority from the Postmaster General
to provide a remedy lie will do his utmost to
induce the California Stage Company to continue
carrying the mail until the Government can be
apprised of the true state of things. The Stage
Company carried the mail last year for $3.50 600,
but they claim that they lost money, and this
year they raised their bid to $500, 900. Reside S
contract was for S22j 900.
The Sacramento Bee is credbly informed that
Resides agent thought seventy-fve head of
horses would be enough to stock the route from
Lincoln to Portland. The California Stage Com
pany have been in business long enough to un-
derstand what economy is in staging operations.
and they employ that number of animals between
O"oyille and Shasta. Reside - buggy mail
line won work.

SPEAKING of the hanging of Mrs Surratt, the

sued 10y the avenging furies of conscience, they
will skulk away into their gloomy graves to find

This is pretty good, but it is stolen. We find

If YOU act at nnnght my eloquent remarks.

WORDS.

Beware ofimpure words. Filthy convsr-
sation it is fruitful means of corruption.
1t is channel by which the impurity ofone
heart may be communicated TO another.-
And we know who hath said, Evil COM
munications corrupt good manners" Words
are an index of the state of the heart -
Hence says Christ, "By thy words thalt
thou be condemned: npd for ~
"vru mat men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the day of judgment"
There are those whose conversation is filthy
aud disgusting. Parents should guard their
children from such. They should them.
selves avoid every indelicate expression,
and check the first appearance of anv such
thing in their children. Avoid foolish say
ings and jesting. Children let your words
be pure.
