The Little Girl that Meets NE.
There's little girl that meets me,
And with laughter ever ereets me,
And to kiss her oft eatrests me,
Az ! stray
Long the path of life so dreary,
" here the ssddened heart and weary.
Shades the sunlight, shiuing mar me,
On my way.
She has eyes as blue as heaven
Only aged about eleven
But unto her God has given
Such hesrt,
That forever she is singing,
And her sweet oice ever ringing,
Beauty Ger the raps heart bringing,
sweet as art.
With her sunny hair, 50 curly,
With her teeth % white and pearly.
have met her late and early.
By the way,
And take her hand and press it
In nv own, just TO caress it
Pretty little hand-God bless it"
Idosay.
Nav the world emile kindly on her
Benedictlons fall upon her,
Angels be - guard her honor,
As she goes
Through this world Of ours singing,
Peace 10 troubled spirits bringing,
No grief her pure heart wringing
With its woe.
Nay the sweetest harp in heaven
Brightest crown that Ger was given,
Where the waves Of life are driven
Past the throne
Echo TO her dainty finger,
Pom her pure brow ever linger,
While each angel be singer,
Calling home

WHAT INDUSTRY CAN Do.-The
richmond IVA. Dispatch has the fol-
lowing:
Two young farmers, in Albemarle,
have accomplished, on farm of 333
acres, the following results: In the
first part of the year two freedmen
were hired, but their laziness and un-
Willingness to perform their duties
caused the young farmers to dis
charge them after few weeks trial.
and since that time they have perform
ed all the farm labor themselves,
except occasionally in harvest, the
hire of day laborers for few DAYS.
The boys rise by early dawn: one
mllks the COWS, the other feeds and
currles the horses, and attends to the
hogs and cattle, and, after all early
breakfast, perform earnestly and in
dustriously whatever work is neces-
sary to be done; their fields have been
well raked and plowed, and the result
IS good crops, realized and prospect
I'VE. They have reaped from fifteen
to twenty acres of the most excellent
wheat, are now engaged in reaping
seventy acres of oats; have sixty acres
of corn in first-rate order; have also
r"aped several acres of hay; have one
acre in Irish potatoes; over one acre
of garden vegetables; and have also
plenty of chickens, ducks and tur-
keys, with all the luxuries and com
forts to be found on p. we'll cultivated
farm.

LoU1svLLE.-An immense mass
meeting was held at Louisville, on
Saturday night, to ratify the proceed
ings OF the Philadelphia Convention.
A despatch says:
General Forrest presided. and ad-
dressed the meeting, saying he want
ed no more fighting, and when ne
laid down his arms, he bore malice
against no Northern man. Poll
ticians, he said, could not be trusted.
and those who wanted to stay at
home were the ones to send to the
Legislature and Congress. He was
willing to trust everything to those
he had met upon the field, but those
who shirked duty and were casematcd
at Washington, could no more be
trusted than those who did the same
thing in the South.
He was followed by Hon. Gustavus
Henry, in an eloquent and lengthy
speech. Resolutions were adopted
accepting the address of the Philadel-
phia Convention, and endorsing the
Presidents policy. The meeting wa,
one OF the largest and most enthnsi-
astic ever held in this city.

BRowNLow.-The Nashville Union
and american, of Sunday, says:

BRowNLow.-The Nashville Unioa
and American, of Sunday, says:
eve learn that Gov. Brownlow
leaves for Philadelphia tomorrow
morning. He will, no doubt, be able
to present n complete plan for rob-
bing the people of their liberties; and
if they do not submit, to inaugurate
another war. His recent address to
his followers indicates settled pur
pose to bring on, if possible, an
armed and bloody conflict. The bel
ligerent disunionists at PHILADELPHIA
will fix upon q plan, we have no
doubt, which will be designed to pro-
duce renewed bloodshed in the South
ern States. and thus progress from
stage to stage, until the whole conn
try is again wrapped in the flames of
civil strife. That such is the inten
ton of the radical leaders, passing
events do not permit us to doubt. It
is a gloomy and horrid perspective,
and the only antidote to its fatal sue
cess is the tirmness and patriotism OF
the people, which, we devoutly trust,
will be all-suffcient. -

j. w. Forney and prominent radi-
cal leaders of Pennsylvania have pro-
cured from the War Department a
list of deserters from the army during
the late war, from that State. It is
said to be their intention to keep the
matter quiet, and allow such OF the
deserters as propose TO vote the radi-
cal ticket to pass unGuestioned, but
those who offer to vote the conserva-
tive ticket will be challenged and pre-
vented from exercising the elective
franchise.

LYNCH LAW IN NEBRAsKA.-A don
BILE tragedy was enacted at Nebraska
City a few days ago. On the 14th
instant, a boy about eleven years old
was murdered in cold blood, while
gusr. ng his fathers cattle, by man
nance. Cash, who drove the cattle to
the city, sold them, pocketed the
money and fed to the woods. AS
soon as thei murder was discovered,
Cash was pursued, caught and hung
on the spot.

More ABOUT Mr.. DAVIS RELEASE
A Fortress Monroe correspondent
writes:
It is we'll known that strenuous
efforts have lately been made in
Washington, and interviews have
been sought with President johnson
over and over again, though in more
quiet manner than formerly, by Chas
OConor and many other warm friends
of MIR. Davis, for the purpose of
making fnal effort to secure his con-
ditional parole, upon the ground of
his continued iu-health.
The pressure which has thus been
brought to bear upon President ohm
son, and other considerations and in
huences, it is generally thought, have
at last forced him to yield, and that
he will shortly grant JEFF. Davis a
parole on very nearly the same con-
ditions prescribed to Clement G. CLAY.
In fact, this is the prevailing opinion
here, and many have remarked, by
way of corroboration, that Mrs. Davis
has appeared more cheerful and lively
since her sudden return from Canada,
than was ever before noticed in her
usually desponding countenance.

Old sbrogate the most important Of

abolished slavery, and thereby impa;red
the ability Of debtors to pay their iiabiii-

he SO thought himself, and expressed the
opinion that the proclamation would bo

yention, therefore. impaired the ahility Of

1t has been decided that public officer
elected for life holds his Office under a con.
tract With the State, and therefore that
contract cannot be violated or impaired by
an ordinary act OF the Legislature. But
the tenure may be changed by . conven-
ton. II q convention can impair the obli-
CATION OF the contract in this csse, why
not in other cases? But a convention OF
the people is not q State. If ten thousand
men, assembled on desert island, were
living in state Of nature, without con-
stitntio1L laws or government Of any kind

| they are the elements out Of which State
aunu be formed.
In conclusion, il these views are correct
such an ordinance would not be the act Of
State, and therefore not forbidden. It
would not be law, and therefore not for
hidden. The State Legislature may pro-
vide that the courts may be held every

Another reason for calling q convention
is to reduce the number and salaries of
public officers. We are all reduced to ex-
