Fatherless, motherless,
Cheerless in grief
She is an orphan one
Asking relief.
Look in those fearful eyes,
Haggard and wild;
Pass her not needless by,
Pity the child.
Down in some cellar dark
Sadly she sits
Smiles Of affection there,
She never gets.
Naked and starving there,
Hard is her lot;
Do, for the Savior's sake,
A deed ne'er forgot.
List to her pleading tones
Cheer by a smile
Let Christian charity
Sorrow beguile.
Christ sends bis "little one,"
Saying TO thee,
" MI you shall DO for her
Is done unto Me-
Deep in her hollow cheeks
Pale anguish lies;
How from each painful look,
Poverty cries
All the dark waves Of woe
Over her roll
"None," has she often said,
"Care for my soul"
Spurn her not, grieve her not,
Grudge not her dole;
Angels Of charity
Smile on thy soul,
Ready to bear the news
Up to yon sphere,
What thou hast done for Christ's
Little one" here.
Pity the orphan one,
Care for her now;
Dash every pang from her
Care-shadowed brow;
Bind up the broken heart
Sorrow hath river;
Lille is awaitin thee,
Endless in h aven!

MAssAcHUsETr on TIE RANPAGE.-The New ! ork
Day Book says the legislature of Massachusetts Is
highly indignant at the president for nsutng their
honored representative as they call Mr. Sumner, and
have passed resolutions expressing their indignation
The Day Book pernenty remarks that this is the first
intimation it ever had that it possible to insult
him. and adds: We knew be might be kicked, beaten,
cuffed, and even spitted upon, but we did not know
that it was possible to insult him. He will whine like
whipped child, and 60 round the world showing his
sores but he has never shown any evidence that ne
knew how man feels when really insulted But we
presume that it is all right for Sumner to insult the
president all right to declare that he sends white
washing messages to congress-all right to intimate
that be ought to be beheaded-these fulmnations are
all right because they from the members of that
immaculate and holy party which embodies all the
virtue, all the morality and all the religion Of the
country. But unto any one who iusinuates that
these abolition isunonists are not the very of
all that is great and patriotic. But if Massachusetts
feels insulted why don't she seccde? 1t will not be
the first time Do let her secede. We should be re-
oced to have her raise the Goldfish flag Faneuil
hall There are some good and true men in her bord-
ers but we have room for those patriots in New ork,
and would welcome them with pleasure among us.
With the patriotic element out of her borders, we could
then turn her over receptacle for abolitiohists
disunonists free niggers free lovers Sc &c, and all
the uneasy Disconnected spirits who desire to make
mongrel pandemonum Of our beloved land"

Gederacy, he spent in this place, fulfilling bis duties as
officer Gen. Hays staff and was much loved
and respected by all who knew him.

FREEDMEN on THE SEA IsLANps--A Washington cor
respondent Of a western paper has the following in
relation to the condition of the freedmen on the sea
islands off South Carolina:
Advices have been received at the freedmen's bu
reau from Georgia. in which the condition of the freed
people occupying the islands is reported On St
GATHERINGS island there were six hundred freedmen
two hundred Of whom formerly the slaves of the
owners of the island all in destitute condition. Since
May 1885, the island has beenunder the control of Mr.
Campbell, a coleEed preacher from New York, who
has under him some ten fifteen eolored agents Of
the most crafty character, who cut the wood Of the
island and sell it, and employ the freedmen and pay
them in liquor at most exorbitant prices Mr.. Camp
bell has distributed all the land on the island large
portion of which has fallen into the possession of him
self, his sons and immediate friends The assistant
commissioner applied himself to remedy these evils
and has at length done 50 to the satisfaction Of al
parties concerned. The commissioner states that OF
St. simons, and on many other islands, the land ha:
been surveyed but titles have been given by Gen
Saxton, as rumored, by Gen. Sherman's order.
