Gen. Fisk, agent of the Freed
mems Bureau, made and published
statements some months ago, to
the effect that the freedmen, col
ored soldiers in or about Lexing-
ton, KY, had received at the
hands of white men very bad
treatment and abuse. A commit
tee was appointed by the Legisla-
ture to investigate the truth of
said report, consisting of one men,
berof the Senate and two from the
House. The committee notified
Gen. Fisk of their appointment
and requested him to make good
his statements, in producing the
necessary proof. The General,
however, failed to appear after
four months delay. The Com
mittee proceeded to investigate
the affair, and its report to the
Governor denounce the statement
of Gen. Fisk as being utterly false,
there being no evidence to the eff.
feet of any such mis-treatment.-

The Little Cup Of Tears.

We find the following North
German legend in ''Thorpe's 1ule-
tide stories" one of Bohn's anti
quated stories. 1t is too beautiful
to remain in the sole keeping Of
antiquaries: "There was a moth
erwho loved her first child with her
whole heart, and thought she
could not live without it; but the
Almighty sent a great sickness
among children, which seized this
little one, who lay on its sick bed
even to death. Three days and
three nights the mother watched
and wept, and prayed by the side
of her darling child, but it died.
The mother, now alone in the
wide world, gave way to most vlo-
lentand unspeakable grief; she ate
nothing and drank nothing, and
wept, wept, wept, three long
DAYS and three nights. This the
mother did without ceasing, calling
constantly on her child. The
third night, as she thus sat, over
come with suffering, in the place
where her child had died, her eyes
bathed in tears, and faint from
grief, the door softly opened, and
the mother started, for before her
stood her departed child. 1t had
become heavenly angel, and
smiled sweetly as innocence, and
was beautiful like the blessed. 1t
had in its hand a small cup that
was almost running over, SO tull 1t
was. And the child spoke: oh!
dearest mother, weep no more Tor
me; the angel of mourning has
collected in this little cup the tears
which you have shed for me. If
for me you shed but one more, it
will overflow, and | shall have nc
more rest in the grave and JOY In
heaven. Therefore, o dearest
mother! weep no more for your
child; for it is well and happy, and
angels are its companions. Ii
q then vanished. The mother shed
no more tears, that she might not
disturb her child's joy in heaven

A party of New Orleans youths,
who were described to us as just
bursting into manhood, went up
town q few nights ago to ,compll-
ment a lady friend of one Of the
young gentlemen by q serenade.
They had barely time to execute
one plaintive air, when a window
opened and masculine voice good
naturedly inquired, GLOW many
of YOU are there?' ''Four," re.
turned the serenaders, thinking the
inquiry had probable reference to
refreshments. "Divide that among
you, then," as he emptied the fluid
contents of an earthen vessel over
the heads just then massed togeth'
er. This is a fact, but scarcely
the worst part of the story, for the
next thing that befel the unsus
pecting young serenaders was ar
arrest and conveyance to the
lookup.

THE BLESSED HAND.

There is legend of an English Monk, WI
died at the Monastery of Aremberg, where
had copied and illuminated many books, hopin
to be erewarded in Heaven. Long after his deaf
his tomb was opened, and nothing could
seen of his remains but the right hand, wit
which he had done his pious work, and whic
had been miraculously preserved from decay.
For you and me who love the light
Of Gods unclolstered day,
1t were, indeed, dreary lot,
To shut ourselves away
From every glad and sunny thing
And pleasant sight and sound,
And pass from out silent cell,
Into the silent ground.
Not so the good monk, Anslem, thought,
For in his cloister's shade,
The cheerful faith that lit his heart
It's own sweet sunshine made;
And in It's glow he prayed and wrote,
From matin-song till even,
And trusted in the Book of Life,
To read his name in Heaven.
What holy books his gentle art
Filled full of saintly lore!
What pages. frightened by his hand,
The splendid missals bore!
What blossoms, almost fragrant. twined
Around his blessed name,
And how his Saviour's cross and crown
Shone out from cloud and flame,
But unto clerk as unto clown,
One summons comes, alway,
And brother Anslem heard the call,
At vesper-ehime, one day.
His busy pen was in his hand,
His parchment by his side
He bent him DER the half-writ prayer,
Kissed Jesus name and died
They laid him where a windows blaze
Flashed DER the craven stone,
And seemed 10 touch his simple name,
With pencil like his own;
And there heslept, and. one By one,
HIS brothers died, the WnIie,
And trooping years went by and trod
His name from off the aisle.
And lifting up the pavement, then,
An Abbot's couch to spread.
They let the jeweled sunlight in
Where once lay Anslem's head.
No crumbling bone was there, no trace
Of human dust that told,
But, all alone, warm right hand
Lay, fresh, upon the mould.
It was not stiff as dead mems are,
But, with tender clasp,
Itseemed to hold an unseen hand
Within its living grasp,
And ere the trembling monks could turn,
To hide their dazzled eyes,
1t rose, as with sound of wings,
Right up into the skies!
Oh loving, open hands, that give;
Soft hands, the tear that dry;
oh patient hands, that toll to bless;
How can We ever die!
Ten thousand vows, from yearning hearts
To Heavens own gate shall soar,
And bear you up, as Anslem's hand
Those unseen angels bore!
Kind hands! on never near to you
May come the woes you heall
Oh never may the hearts ye guard
The griefs We comfort feell
May He, in whose sweet name ye build,
So crown the WORK We rear,
That ye may never clasped be,
In one unanswered prayer!

whether the spirit raped eight or

"How many children have II"
'One," was the reply.
Probably correct again." re-
marked Jones.
Here Mr.. Sniff kins arose in
wrath, slapped his beaver on with
q bang, and retired.
"The circle is not harmonious"
said the medium, in a deep sepul-
chral voice.
Jones thought it was, as be
pressed the little hands.

Johns relict looked at the me-
dium. The medium smiled. He
looked as if he had the toothache.
The circle laughed, whereupon
Johns relict seized the lamp and
hurled it at the medium. It
broke over his devoted head, and
left the circle in darkness.
