The following extract from late speech
of his, in New York, is in admirable
contrast with the malevolent howlings of
many of the radicals, and with the spirit
which he has heretofore exhibited in the

BEEoHER said in speaking of his visit to
Charleston to help put the flag upon Fort
Sumter.
stAt other times when the prospect Of
lifting the flag to its former place seemed
almost visionary, he had spoken of such
an event with jueilation. But now, as
the time in reality drew near, his sou

short time we shall be spoken of, but the
things of life will creep in, and our

The aggregate value of property de

Imposing as these figures appear, they
are not far short of the truth, for the

Demoerats--Ged forgive then--elected
him. But because they would not re-
elect him, he sold himself to the mon
archists-retaining only nigger on tho
brain. The Monarchists, caring nothing
for laborers, black or white, took Chase
/ and used him. And now, Chase and Den
nison are g hail fellows, we'll met" both
rejoicing in the ruin they have accom-
plished, and glorying in the power they
have usurped. Chase fame rests on Mig
gers and shinplasters. Dennison's mem

FARMERS PAINT.-Farmers will find
the following profitable for house or fence
paint: Skim milk, two quarts; fresh slak-
ed lime, eight ounces; white Burgundy
pitch, two ounces; Spanish white, three
pounds. The lime is to be Stacked in
water, exposed to the air, and then mixed
with about fourth Of milk, the OIL in
which the pitch is dissolved, to be added
little at time, then the rest of the milk
and afterwards the Spanish white. This
is sufficient for q yards, two coats. This
is for white paint. Undesirable, any othel
color may be produced: Thus, ifa cream
color is desired, in place of part of thu
Spanish white, use ochys alone.

A young man, who ardently desired
wealth, was wished by his Satanic majes-
.ty, who tempted him to promise his soul
for eternity if he could be supplied on
this earth with all the money he could
use. The bargain was concluded; the
devil was to supply the money, and was
at last to have the soul, unless the young
man could spend more money than the
devil could furnish. Years passed away;
the man married, was extravagant in his
living, built palaces, speculated widely;
lost and gave away fortunes, and yet his
Golfers were always full. He turned poll
tician, and bribed his way to power and
fame, without reducing his .'pile" of gold
He became "fillibuster," and fitted out

came to pay the bills, yet they were all

Failure of emancipation.

The extended emancipation projected
in this country has again recently turned
the attention of British writer's to the
subject, and the effect of emancipation in
Jamaica has by several of them been lu-
cidly described. 1t is estimated that
since the abolition of slavery in that ISL
and, in 1888, property has declined in
value eighty per cent. Official statements
show that 231 sugar estates have been
abandoned, besides 243 coffee plantations,
and 1872 grazing farms. For many once
valuable estates no purchaser can now be
found A writer in the last edition of
the Edinburg Encyclopedias says:
Its history since emancipation has
been discouraging to the friends of liber-
ty, The negro, on whom the cultivation
of the island depends, has gradually re-
tired from labor and retrograded in the
social scale. This does not result from
any hostile feeling towards the whites,
with whom he lives on the most amieable
terms; it is the natural result of remov-
ing all restraint from people low in civ
ilization, and consequently with few arti-
fetal wants in country where land is su-
perabundant. The Jamaica negro can
earn enough on sugar plantation in a
few weeks to buy small patch of free
hold land. The wood upon it forms his
cottage, the vegetables, which grow al
most spontaneously, support him in toll
cradle comfort When this little prop
erty does not require his care, he works
from time to time for hire; but as plan-
tation after plantation is abanded, and the
country returns to its primeval forests, he
is confined more and more to his own
race; and though not more addicted to
crime, is gradually receding into savage
state ss.7.s ,s.-. s.s
i Perhaps we shall do better, but our
experiments in Louisiana, in peaceful dis
tricts, plainly point to Jamaica result.

And fears doubt as wrong.
But still my human hands are weak

The robe that hath no seam. ne
Ye see the curse which overbroods
A world of pain and loss;

And prayer upon the cross.

Too small the merit show.

l veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge. in trembling self-distrust,

feel the guilt within;
hear, with groan, and travail-cries,
The werld confess its sin:
Yet, in the maddening maze of things,
And tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed stake my spirit clings:
know that God is good.
Not mine to look when cherubim
Aud seraphs may net see,
But nothing can be good in Him
Which evil is in me.
The wrong that pains my soul below

His goodness and His love.
