RED RIDING.HOOD,

We know the simple story
About Red Riding Hood
How all alone to grandma's
She journeyed through the wood,
And the little basket carried,
All IN the morning bright,
With the golden balls OF butter
Beneath the napkin white.
She must have thought Of grandma
While walking in the shade;
How lovingly and gladly
She'd greet her little maid;
When she her basket opened,
How pleased the dame would be
To see the little present
Put up so carefully.
And then the sad deceiver,
The wolf with cruel eyes!
The simple child con6ding,
More innocent than wise,
Naught knowing ofthe danger,
Nor fearing in the way,
The little story tells US,
Falls to his wiles prey.
is mournfu story,
But, like Red Riding Hood,
All we poor little children
Are walking in the wood.
Our path 10 very pleasant,
But set with many a snare;
The wolf is watching for us;
D, little ones, beware!

BRAzIL.-As considerable attention has been

1t seems very improbable that the many
complaints make by farmers of the heavy
rates of freight charged by our railroads are
without cause. The different roads in Hi
nols should consider whether they are not
awakening public sentiment that will SO
direct our state Legislation as to seriously
embarrass them. Those having charters are
not out of reach of such legislation. No
companies or class OF companies dealing with
Tor business, are independent of it. Public
abuses will sooner or later be corrected
The general and heavy censure of our rail
roads by the farmers of the state show that
those corporations are dealing oppressivelv

The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republicans says:
"a DIVISION INEVITABLE.

"Then comes up the vital question upon which
the republican members will divide. Mr.. Ste
vens says we must have equal Suffrage in Tonnes
seebefore we can admit you to representation. But
a majority of the members from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Pennsylvania will not say any thing
of the sort. If the republicans were unit on
equal suffrage, the south would soon receive its
tlti,aatu,n and it could go to work the subject
But such is not the fact hence l look for a
great deal of twadde in congress on the subject.
Many members will be afraid to speak their real
sentiments, and the south will not for long time
be able to ascertain what congress demands.

and the house, and nobody tell which will

this is a just punishment, but the republican

Negroes in the Galleries of Congress.

The Washington correspondent of the York
Nes0s, writing under date of the 9th, says:
"a new feature Is exhibited at this session,
this is the appearance in the galleries of both
houses of large numbers of negroes and ne

They push themselves into the ladies' CALLER

THE swAMPsCOTT MOB.


We have before noticed the fact that Mr..
Stone, of Swampscott, Mass, on hearing OF
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln, expressed
himself satisfied or something OF that sort,
whereupon the Jim Bsardsley style of loyal
lists like the Bully case 10 this city) moboed
Nj. Stone. who has since recovered very heavy
damages In consequence. A newspaper dis
cussion has grown out of this affair in which
the Boston Post says "Mr. Redpath has pick
ed all the feathers from Mr. Frank Bird, aud
lett him as bare as barbor's pole, in the dis
cussion about the Swanpscott mob" Red
path also in the discussion, gives Mr.. Lincoln
and Mr.. Seward some severe blows. He
says:
"But suppose he (Stone) did utter some
words that showed a lack of sympathy for the
fate of Mr. Lincoln? What of its If he did
not force persons to hear him, had he not as
much right to say in Swampsoott that he did
not regret Mr. Lincoln's death as Mr. Seward
had to say in the senate of the United States
that John Brown was Justly hungP Lincoln
was an emanclpationist by cOmpulsion; (have
you forgotten how he sneered at the Pope's
bull against the comet?) Lincoln was made
SAINT ana noerator IN spite OF himself; ne
was Quilted into the calander; he was kicked
into glory he did hot voluntarily rise up. he
was foated up on the resistless will OF the
people, to the height he now occupies; bu
John Brown stands by his side, or far, fal
above him, in spite of every obstacle that
could be thrown in his way-in spite of old
ago, and poverty, and lack of sympathy from
the world. Ii Stone was righteously tarred.
and feathered for his speech, what would y ou
have done to Seward for his? | see nothing

The New York Times alleges that when
the Hon. Joshua Hill of Georgia, was in
New York recently, he stated that the friends
OF the Union held the state Of Georgia from
the vortex of secession until Mr.. Toombs

had right to secede, and that the federal

the state was rushed out of the Union -
1t is also true that in the application of Mr.
A. Ii. Stephens for pardon, he states that the
