A Spring Ballad. :
A gush or golden sunlight,
A music mid the leaves

A gush or golden sunlight,
A music mid the leaves
Of early bloom, whose joyous tune,
Into the spirit wuves, Z.
Dreams of delight and welcome bliss,
For wealth I'd not forego;
Sweet blooms and light, crowd on my sight,
BY these tho spring know.
The frozen mould, silent and cold,
Touched by secret hund,
Grows wondrous rife, till bloom and life
Crown all the pleasant land;
Sweet breeses nurmur ple.santly
The ice-bound waters flow;
And young buds leap from :beir wiatry Sleep
Bythese the sprins know.
I rove the thiclet and the grove,
breathe the balmy air;
Each sound seems fraught with gentlsst love,
New life holds conquest there;
L listen! Throughthc forest lcavos
Sweet voices come and go;-e
Tho voice of twiitering choristers-
By these the spring know.
I've wreathed fragrant chaplot,
a chaplet wild, yet fair,
Twas nurtured in the mountain wids,
And nursed by wintry air;
Primroses and yiolets sparkle in 7,
The daisy peeps bellows i
And leaves of green push out between
By these the spring I know.
Low fitting clouds of wintry glooms
Have rolled in shade away;
Light comes on wings of choice perfume
To charm the sweet spring day;
Ireach the summit of the plain,
stS Fresh breezes round me blow
So sweet, that here I'd rove again
By this the spring Iknow. -
Spring time, thou hast charm for nc,
I've loved thee we'll and long,
And thas humbly weave to thee
:, A glad aad grateful cong,
When on the strangely pondering souls
Comes thy congenisl glow,
My hear; leaps light with ccsaey-
By this The spring know.

NEGRO EoUAL1rY.-The venerable Gen.
Leslie Coombs, Of Kentucky, in late ad-
dress to the people of that State, before
whom he is candidate for reelection as
Clerk Of the Court Of. f.Appeals, uses the fol
lowing significant language on isvorite rad
ical topic:
"O.her candidates may do as they please,
but, So far as l am concerned, / will do moth.
ing to weaken or divide those opposed to the
monstruus aud unnatural doctrine rampant at
Washington, Of negro social and political
equality. Gods curse has stamped the negro
with an ineflceable black skin aud a woody
head and, in His providence, has kept him
ior six thousand years in close proximity t.
other races, but always subordinate-in mind
and body, as well as in civilization and refine
mert; and yet we have the spectacle now be-
fore US of deliberate conspiracy in the
North to bring down our favored race to the
negro level, in violation Of Gods law and ell
written history. The idea of elevating tn.
odorous sons of Africa tothe Caucasian status
is about as absurd as trying to perfume dog
tennel by tying up in q bouquet with pins'
and roSes.n

SMALL CouRrrsirs.--I want 10 tell ,you o
secret. The way to mako yourself pleasant
to Others is to show them attention. The
whole world is like tho miller at Mansfield,
who cared for nobody--no, net be, because
nobody cared for him. And. the whole world
would serve you 50, If You gave them the
same cause. Let every one, therefore, asee
that you do care for. them, by showing them
the small courtesies, in which there is no
parade, whose voice is still to please, and
which manifest themselves by tender and
aGectionate locks and little acts of attention,
giving others the preference inevery little en-
joyment at the table, in the field, walking,
sitting or standing.

TRs LATEST FENlAN SENsArroN.-Tae
newest report connected with Fenianism ha'
reference to the alleged fitting out Of sundry
vessels to "go fishing" on the Banks o.
Newfoundland ostcnsibly, but really to effect
landing somewhere on the British North
American coast. The vessels are to be well
manned aud well armed, and things will be
so managed that no difficulty will be expert
enced 10 procuring clearance papers. AZ
soon as the landing is effected-so goes the
story--the Irish republic will be regularly
launched, snd Uncle Sam will be requested
to recognize it as beiligerent, at least 81
far as to allow it the use of United State,
ports, into which prizes to Irish privatcers
may be brought.

FREEDNEN's AFrA1ns.-Adyices have beer
received at the Freedmen's Bureau from
Charleston. s. c., under date Of March 90
representing that the circular promulgated
from the Bureau relative to marriage regula-
tions had been received, and the freed people
rejoice that dc finite action has teen taken on
the subject, as the community will now have
respect for marriage ceremonies. The follow
ing extract was taken from the report:
"The planters are toning down under the
appalling discovery that there are not negroes
enough left 10 cultivate over one,half of the
land; and, furthermore, they now see none
but negroes can or will ever cultivate the rice
fields. Providence is working for the froed
people via pockets and hungry stomachs o.
their former owners."

Is Napoleon . Bound to Stay in Mexico Z

In our negotiations with the French Em.
peror, to get him out of Mexico, We; seem TO
have forgotten, and he has not reminded US
of, one csaumstance, which is, tho, in April,
1864, he formally engaged hinself loretnin
French troops in that country for period of
six years :lter the happening of certain events
which have net yet come to pass. Articles 2
and of the Convention Of Miramar run in
this wise:
Art 2-The French troops shall evacuaie
Mexico in proportion as the Emperor Of
Mexico shall be able to organize the troops
necessary to replace them, az
Art. 3-The Foreign Lsgion.in the service
Of France, composed OF eight thousand men,
shall, nevertheless, remain in Mexico Sin
years afler oil the other French troops shall
have been recalled. =.
Articles further provides tbaeat all points
where the forces are not exclusively Mexican,
"the military command shall devolye On the
French commander" and in expeditions the
supreme control shall also be with the French
Now We nave been, it seems to US, politely
requesting Napoleon to do what he had cum
nfEgly bound himself to another man, pr.yi-
ously, not to do. Napoleon has put us off
with fine words. with phrases which to some
people locked like promises; re importunc
him, and he replies, III see about i, ,""I'll
tell you by and by, rm busy just now"
Ask me again to morrow" "Perhaps I will
when you ask me next" lie has answered
our appeals as a nurse does tiresome child's;
he probably thought to himself: "The Uni
ted States Government ought to know that !
bound myself to Maximilian not to do what
they are requesting of me if Mr.. Seward
does not know this it is net my business 10
tell him; if, as is more probable, he does
know it, and does not refer to il, taen that is
a sign that he is not in earnest in the Mexi
can matter, but rather inclined to avoid the
d Feet issue, and a!nuse the American people
by elaborate dispatches meaning nothing. H.
that case can help him."
This is what the French Emperor probably
says TO himself; and on this theory he ha-
acted and spoken. He is triAing with US;
but it must be said that he has been encour
aged todo so by our manner and words to him.

HOW THEY TALK.

I'VE who have played with the blacks,
and often suckIed life from the same
breasts, says '1he DAILY Press, speak
ing of the Freedmen, We are their natural
guardians and friends.
How many colored men in the State
of Georgia, or any other Southern State,
will say that that declaration is true !?
What evidence have we that, if the fer
mer masters arc the natural guardians
and friends OF the freed people, they
act as such.
Why is it that almost every day black
people are murdered by white men, and
the murderers concealed--spirited away
beyond apprehension, if they are the
natural guardians and friends of the
freed people? Why is it that all the
officers of the Freedmen's Burcal are
daily crowded by freed people, who com
plain Of the dishonest dealings of their
former masters; and whose bodies give
evidence of the most barbarous cruelties
inflicted upon them, by those who arc
their nat4rat guardians ard fr1enets2'
Why is it that those who come among
the freed people to teach them morality
and industry; and to assist in rendering
them intelligent and virtuous are daily
insulted, in some localities their lives
threatened, if those who once owned
them-'olten sucked life from the same
breasts their natural guardians
and fIiends?'
Why is it that the wives and daughters
of freedmen, though they be chaste as
ice, and pay the same rates of fare that
white people do on railways, arc put into
filthy freight cars, AMI compelled to sub
NIT to all kinds of vulgar and profane
insulting language, if they dare demur,
if the people of the South are hbe:r
avturaI guardian and jTlendsP
Why is it that the freed people uni
formly exhibit such unqualified distIust
Of their former masters, # they are their
natural guardians and friends?
Why IS it that the freed people place
so much confidence in the Northern peo-
pie; and ia all their troubles go to officers
of the Freedmen's Bureau for relief and
jnstice saying they can get it no where
| else-if their late masters-those VIII
.often sucked life from the same breasts

In view OF this experiment being put
to an extensive test by the farmers Of the
North, whose treatment of the colored
laborer is exactly the same as that Of the
white laborer; aud in view of the fact
that all in the North are equally secure
