The niatcaps in the Onpiioy. al Nashville, when
pNparing of their most xindictive blows at The
rights of'lie majority praIaas IL by the declaration
that Friendship and Loyalty to the Government
Of the United States is the proper basis of suf-
frage.1 Now, If not Incompatible with the, public
good, WE c,l upon those wiseacres to tell MS wha,
is the Government Of the United States; whether
as sssginaly taught, il is the Constitution and the
laws in conformity herewith or the radical and
pestalcnt majority in Congress, If the former the
late Confederaes arc ,ruer to Il than any Radical
in the country If the latter, true man can feel
friendship, add none but the tools of tyranny
will profess loyalty to it. Loyalty is the obedience
demanded by kings in free government, II has
no meaning, because every man is, or ought to be
vested with the highest OF all authority, that of
appointing the agents who are, temporarily, to per-
form the functions prescribed by a pre-existing
government. For the last four years, these agents
of the people have usurped regal power and in
fated thereby, have claimed and demanded loyalty
to themselves, and not to the government, every
principle of which they daily violated and derided.
II is true, they bad modesty, or policy enough to
demand it in the name Of the government of the
United States. and the bodncss of the usurpation
and the confusion Of the times, cheated many into
the belief that the administration yes the govern
ment, and that loyalty was due to those who su.
pcrceded the Constitution, and substituted their own
edicts. sovereign people cannot owe loyalty to
themselves, and when they concede IL to their
agents they are no longer sovcreigns but slaves
They who recognize the radical majority as the
government are degraded into loyal subjects by
their own acts; but they who recognize the Con-
stituton as the government repudiate the term as
recognition of political vassalage, and spurn the
demand as an insult to freemcn.

love-songsI Why, to hear him sing
MY Pretty Jane, in the forecastle,
OF q night, was regular treat. I've
heard many one at the singing-gafs
at Liverpool that couldn't come near
him. And dance! I never saw q fell
low SO smart on his legs. He used to
do the Lancashire clog g-dance in an
old pair of cnt-down sea-boots. and
you'd hear the clatter in the ice hills
like the muskets at review. I quite
loved the fellow-he did his work so
easy-wanted no telling-saw your
drift in minute, and don't :hink
he missed the weather caring once the
whole voyage. Jack Sands, he called
himself.
'There was another I took with
me, Sleepy Sam, they called him.
I've known him to go fast asleep on
the lookout, and the ship pitching
no small way neither.
'We took a bag with some grub
and our pannikins, in case we should
have to spend the night out.
cit was not so mighty cold as you'd
think in the daytime, for we were
only just inside the winter ice-line,
and with South wind that would
shift to the North ard past us.
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
moment man parts with moral in
dependence; the moment he judges
of duty not from the inward voice,
but from the interests and will of q
party; the moment he commits him.
self to leader or body, and winks
at evil because division would hurt
the cause; the moment he shakes off
his particular responsibility, because
he is but one of thousand or million
by whom the evil is done-that mo-
ment he parts with his moral power.
He is shorn of the single-hearted
faith in the right and the true. He
hopes from mans policy what moth
ing but loyalty to God can accom-
phsh. He substitutes coarse wea-
pons, forged by mans wisdom, for
celestial power.-Channing.

I.t,s Jump Aboard the Engine.

r+,a Jump Aboard the Engine.
..1n neace there's nothing so becomes
man as modest stiffness and humility.
A man. caught in railroad cut,
Beheld the engine coming up, -
And Glanced on either side him, but
No hole to hide in saw he.
He looked ahead, behind, below,
As doubling which way he should go,
But after all he did not know,
And sorely puzzled was he.
The engineer was very cruel,
And kept them plying hard tho fuel,
For he had not that precious jewel
The milk of human kindness.
Aloud he shriek'd and shriekd again,
Threw up his arms with might and main,
But all his cries could not restrain
Tho cruel hearted engine.
Men sometimes think, and think quite fast
His time for this had come at last;
So vowed he, as he stood aShast
TO jump aboard the engine.
And so he did, and 80 must we,
Who used to be so great and free,
But since we're in the cut, you see,
Let's jump aboard the engine.
Four wears we tried to block the track,
And force the thing to turn and tack,
But since we could not keep it back,
Let's jump aboard the engine.
THEY'VE sent our rulers down to us,
Who now have all things in a muss,
But never mind, don't let us fuss,
But Jump aboard the engine.
You see they ,ciu the thing conduct,
You see we can't the thing obstruct,
So let us try and reconstruct,
By jumping on the engine.
We pilots have, as well as they,
Or had them on a former day,
And turn up yet some great ones may
When we get on Che engine.
Its speed we cannot now restrain.
And should we dare throw OF the train,
They'd put the darned thing back again,
So let's jump on the engine.
Let Charley Sumner have his way,
And Stevens below for his prey,
With Handy Andy let me say,
Come, jump aboard the engine.
If at the engineers we growl,
The firemen will but louder howl,
And be if possible more foul
Than when we're on ths engine.
No doubt we'll have jolly trip,
No doubt we'll have good fellowship, :.
And since they have stgot US on the hip
Well Jump aboard the engine.
Well. if we don't, what shall we do!
The cuts too long to heel it through,
And then we're bound to ego up" too,
Or Jump aboard the engine. W. w. w.

IL never knew a youngster that

the cause of more boys going to sea

Suppose we look over your note
book; I should like to see your
story
"Oh! it isn't written so that you
could understand it; but I'll look at
it, and tell you the story, if you like
but I must begin at the beginning,
as they say. You know I once felt
kind of liking for a girl; call her
Esther Thompson-I don't say that's
her real name, but that'u do. She
didn't care much for me, and I was
only second mate then. I thought it
was that, SO I tried to get first
mates berth as soon as I came home
from a short voyage I'd agreed to go,
to make up my time to the owners.
She said she'd wait and not marry
any one till came back. With that
l went off. When I came home I
went there and she was gone, they
didn't know where. / soon learned
that, about month after I left, there
had been a handsome sailor-fellow
after her, and she seemed took with
him rather much. I'd been gone
about eight months. I talked to
mother about it, and after a little
found that she thought Esther was
not fairly done by, by this chap,
Montague Fitzjames, as he called
himself: In short, she was ruined,
and had run away.
81 went nearl y mad at this, and
set out to find her, and after about
three months [ found her at Man
chester. [ didn't go into her place
at first, but asked some questions
about her in the neighborhood, and
found she'd got child-a boy-and
was working at shirt-making for
living, and was quite a decent
woman. [ knew she'd have died
rather than be what some would have
turned to in her case. So I went up
and saw her. She was dreadfully |
thin, and her eyes bright and far
back in her head. The baby was
lying IN a cradle by the fire-such
a little bit it hardly kept the room
warm.
=" Esther, says I, do you know
me?'
"She looked up and saw me-"

This horse was raised in Southern Rus
STA by Circassian soldier. Like the Ara
bians, The nomadic people of his tribe form
the strongest and most inviolable attach
ment to their unexcelled horses. They
make their favorite coursers their special
companions, and train them to be very
fleet and intelligent. The Circassian, dur
ing one of his wandering tours, became
very needy, and soon found eager pro-
posers for the purchase of his splendid
horse. At last he consented to part with
him. He was brought before the pur-
chaser, and there ensued a scene that has
been used as subject of poets pen. At
signal from him, the horse,
tEWith flowing tail and flying mane,
With nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouth bloodless to the bit or rein,
And feet that iron ncv er shod,
And flanks unscarred by spur or rod,
The bounding horse-the wild-the free
Like wave that dashes on the sea,
Came proudly laundering on
There stood the noble horse, the admi-
ration of every beholder, No steed OF the
Tartar or Ukraine or Arab breed could be
more beautifully formed. Never did Land
seer or Rosa Bonheur see or imagine a
more perfect animal.
