on tie Rapp4hAnuock, during the gloomy

towards the more pleasant and festive scenes

"Oh thai We had fiddle :" at length some
one exclaimed.
$ Well - said young farmer from Brat

George NJ. Colt. OF Company Z, % Vermont
Volunteers, was the one who proposed to
make the cheer giving instrument and with
one hatcnet, one jack knife, old file and q
piece OF a junk bottle as his only touls, ne got
a piece OF soft maple that grew upon the BANKS
of the RappahaDnock, and set TO work. The
bottom and side rim of the fiddle are made out
of one single piece OF maple, in the most ap-
proved style aud form OF the ordinary fiddle.
1t is a complete dug-out- The top Is made of
pine, which grew IL the country. Inc bow IS
of maple, the same as the larger paIt of the
shell. The hairs were pulled from the tail of
Col. Walbridge's white horse. The glue,
some member OF the company happened to
have with him. And thus, IN the course of
some five weeks the instrument was complet-
ed. After having been wislfully eyed by the
men OF the company and regiment tor a long
time, during it's construction, the instrument
at length gave forth its string strains.
Need we tell how one of their comrades was
called out of the hospital TO give 1t a trial

hausted-how many stag dances it conjured
up-to how many headquarters it went of

The Action OF COngreSS-EQual
Rights for ALL

The American Congress has just performed
al act which deserves to render it immortal
which should give it a niche in the temple of
Fame, not below that held by that assemblage
of hero legislators which enunciated to the
world tEe doctl.i.e of equal rights for ell.
The Continental Congress affirmed the right
OF all TO ''life, liberty and the pursuit of happ-
ness, while the American Congress of 1866
LAS taken measures TO make that affirmation
effective.
But, when view is taken of the circum-
stances under which the Civil Rights bill be-
comes law, it must cause all loyal men to
tinge with shame, if not burn with indignation,
to think and realize that the Chief Magistrate
OF the boasted Republic of the world, should
end aver to place himself in the way of the
marc h OF equality and justice-should attempt
to stay the rolling, circng waves of liberty and
humanity when are destined, sooner or later, to
wash the iar,hest shores trod by civilized man.
No, Mr. President, your efforts to resist the
viii and wishes of the American People will
prove abortive, though they may, to some de-
gree, hinder and resard, they cannot stop the
marcu of events.
i You might as well and wisely attempt to stop

The harp at Natures advent strung,
Has never ceased TO play;

Has never died away.
And prayer Is made, and praise is given,
By all things near and far;
The ocean Iookethiup to Heaven,
And mirrors every star.

As kne=ls the human knee,
Their white locks bowing TO the sand,
TIE priesthood Of the sea
They pour their giittering treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearl they bring,
And all the listening hills OF earth
Tsle up the song they sing.
The green earth sends her incense up
From ma ny q mountain shrine
From folded leaf and dewy cup
Shs pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the mo rning rilIs
Ris- white as wings Of prayer
The altar curtains OF the hills
are sunsets purple air.

Or low with nds Of pain;
The thu ud=r-organ of he cloud,
The droop ng tears OF rain.

PURITY OF CHARACTER Over the beau
ty OF the pun aud the apricot, there grows
|. bloom and beauty more exquisite than
the fruit iiseif-a soft, delicate flush that
overspreads It's bushing cheek. Now, If
you strike jour hand over that, and it is
oGce gone, it is gone forever, for it never
grows out once. The flower that hangs in
the morning, impearied with dew--arrayed
a. no queeniy woman ever was arrayed with
jewels-once shake it, so that the beads
roll off, and you may sprinkle water over it
as you please, yet it can never be made
again what il vas when the dew fell silently
upon it from heaven! On frosty MORN
ing you may see the paEes OF glass. covered
with landscapes mount ntains, lakes and
trees, blended Ia beautiful, fantastic pic
tuTe. Now la your hand upon the glass,
and by ih scratch OF your hDger, OF by the
warmth of the palm, all the delicate tracery
will be obIterated. So there is in youth
a beauty and purity of character, which,
when orce touched and defiied, can never
be restored; fringe more delicate tnsn
frost work, and which, v hen torn aod broken,
will never be re-embroidered. A man who
has spotted aud seiled his garc ents in
youth, though he may seek to make them
white again, can never wholly do it, even
were he TO wash them with his tears When
young man leaves bis fathers house, with
the blessing of mothers tears still wet
upon MS forehead, If he once loses that
carly purity of character, it is loss that
he can never make whole again. Such is
the consequences OF crime. It's effects can
not be eradicated it can only be forgiven.

on the Freedmen's Bureau in the
Southern States, completed q tour Of
Virginia and North Carolina, and re-
ported to the Secretary of War, under
date May 9Th, giving theirimpressions
at length, and closing with recommen-
dation that the services of the agents
Of the Bureau in Virginia and North
Carolina, be dispensed with, and that
their duties be performed by officers
commanding troops in the depart
ments. They say there are ia mili-
tary officers and 200 civilians employ
ed as agents of the Bureau in these
States, and that neither the service rem
dered nor that received-for the char
acter of very many or most of its
agents warrants the discon:inuance of
their services. In those districts
where tho affairs of the Bureau have
been fairly and impartially 'adminis>
tered, by general judgment, there has
been no direct conflict between the
agents and citizens. Many of the
agents are acting in harmony with the
civil officers of the States, and are as.
sisted and supported by the citizens in
the performance of their duties, but in
many places, where agents are not men
of integrity and capacity, q very bad
feeling exists. This originates in the
arbitrary measures and offensive inter
ference ofagents or others, between the
planters and the freedmen. These
agents exercise the widest latitude
over judicial functions, and the effect
produced is bitterness and antagonism
between whites and freedmen aggrov'
ed /; prejudice against the Govern
ment by planters and tho expectations
on the part of freedmen that can never
be realized. Prudent and industrious
freedmen rarely call on the Bureau for
IL is the idle and worth.
less who alone look to it for support.
These do not include the infirm and
helpless. The restoration of civil law =
and the recognition of their civil right
remain as they have been, as evident
ly thereis no change in the law givin
them the right to hold property, su
and be sued, ect. |
The report further states how th
Agents of the Bureau have been inter
ested in plantations, and welded thei
power in manner to aid their ow
individual interests.
The report further says that opp
sition existed on the south bank "a
