IT'S well to WOO, tits well TO wed,
For 90 the world hath done
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun,
But have care, ye young and fair,
Be sure you pledge with truthi
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth
For II we give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
Yonn find you've played the unWise part,
And built upon the sand"
'TIE well to save. 'Tis well TO have
A-goodly store Of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all yotir hope and trust
IN what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with ptrer things;
And be who.piles up wealth alone,
VIII often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
'Tis built upon the sand.
'Tis good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe whereier we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man TO man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with language dwell.
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is wary and true
Must lend a helping hand,
For those who think, yet fail TO do,
But "build upon the sand"

The Carlo dlI) Times gives the following
story of Gen. Sam Houston:
Old Sam Houston, Of Texas, used to make
it point to stop at Cairo, sometimes for
three or four days, on his way to and from
Washington. He usually employed his time
in fishing from the stern guards Of a wharf
boat. On one occasion of this kind. he had
a "''set-tnn with a Cairo youth, which viii

ing iuncture ofs bite at the boys bite, Hous-
ton TIN ew out his line, which became hope
lessly entangled with that Of the boy. There
was pause Neither seemed to hare word
fit for the occasion. At last Houston broke
the silence:

The Negro Paradise q. washington.

THE Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, thus notices
the negro paradise at Washington:
"The negroes living around the city are
fast degeneratinginto perfect brutes. They
have lost all shame and decency. and if il
was not for the police, there would be ex-
hibitions in public places among them which
would outrage our very senses. Our Super
intendent of Police invited Senator Morrell,
the other day, to visit the negro quarters
about the city. The Senator found at least
FIVE thousand negroes living in shanties amid
pollution and filth, and If the cholera only
sets in at this point it win be an Epidemic in
less than forty-eight hours after fair start.
If the Northern people could only witness
these negroes. they would not wonder at the
citizens Of Washington opposing them As
equals. They may be good enough for Thad.
Stevens, but they are not ht TO associate
with clean and geuteel dogs. They are worse
than dead dncks." t'-1 81.
