The most popular pcri0lical In The
United States. Standing aloof from
all political questions, Il was the
pride and admiration of the whole
country, aud no one was regarded
fashionable unless he was u reader Of
Harper but how changed now.
No Southern man or woman, with
the least scli-respcct and love Of
country, can now read is corrupt
pages without blush, without hav-
ing aroused In his "bcttcr nature a
feeling Of adherence and stern In

"roo Late" is story II has this
month, to which its author doubtless
felt ashamed TO put her name; | say
"hcr," for II purports to have been
written by a woman--onc who, in
the bigness of her fanatical heart,
went all the way from----Boston
perhaps, to Beaufort, South Carolina,
to teach set of runaway "niggcrs'
how to read abolition books and
write their own papers forever here
after. We presume the author OF
"Too Late" was, or rather is, jaun-
diced old maid-who finding meat
and bread, as well as matrimonial
opportunities scarce "to hum" sought
to better her condition in various
ways by trip to South Carolina,
and like all fanatics who visit the
South, she must necessarily write and
publish something, and so "gets off"
this "Too Late'--a sort of wish-a-
washy "nigger" love story--cruel
separation Of husband and wife, who
find each other again when "sot free
by the Northern army. "Long may
she wave" We are done with Har-
per-never expect TO read another
line in its corrupt pages.
