The Difference for sambe.

Mr.. Oliphant, an Englishman, who has
written some true and many amusing
things,about the events OF our war, shows
the nature of the change wrought in the
condition Of the negro, by the following
anecdote:
81 invariably asked every Negro / con-
versed with, whether he thought himself
better or worse off than formerly, and as
|invaribly received for an answer that he
was in some respects better, and In some
worse. One fellow on board a steamer
| illustrated the difference thus. II, when
l was slave, I had tumbled overheard,

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.
BY s. G. BU1F1NCu.

Path of the lightning; more sublime
Than when its wrath the rocks hath rent;
Surprising space, outspeeding time,
Linking each severed continentl
Last wonder of wondrous age!
Where thou hast touched tits holy ground
For there, as once by Israel's sage,
The presence of the Lord is found.
He saw it in the fame that played,
Yet injured not the deserts tree;
We trace it in the fame conveyed,
Harmless and quenohless through the sea
Speal, not Of mans achievement now;
Speak but Of Him who spread the main,
And taught His child its might to bew
Submissive TO this thread-like chain.
He says to boastful pride, abe still!''
This mightiest work of human hands
Does but His great design fulfill,
To bind in love earth's scattered lands.
Nerve of the worlds gigantic form,
Quivering with thy mysterious life,
Speed only feelings pure and warm,
Nor thrill with pain, nor swell with strife.

"GOD BLESS YOU.v
Br AUGUSTA.

sGod bless you, my child" were the words
that fell
From the lips of him whom loved so we'll;
And his hand in benediction was laid
With tremulons pressure upon my head;
There were tears in his voice, as he gently
said,
s'God bless you.H
And much ] needed that God should bless,
For life was an utter WEAKNESS:
Its joys were slowly drifting away,
My earthly idols have proved but clay
/ bowed my head, and could only say,
"God help mel'
Ahl that summer eve remember well
when those words like soothing music fell
On my troubled heart; my weary brain,
And the tears gushed forrh like the summer
rain,
And | knew that the prayer had not been in
vain,
ssGod bless youp'

Yankee Curiosity.

Hon. Duncan C. Pell is man of con-
siderable eccentrici.y of character
whole souled good hearted ;ndividual, but
decidedly "odd'' in many respects. Moth
ing so much disturbed his equanimity al
for persons to exhibit curious disposi-
tion and attempt to know more of his
affairs than he chose to tell. Many years
ago, Mr.. Pell was about to erect fence
around one Of his lots in the city, and, in
order to save himself from the daily in.
terrogatories which he knew would be
made by his neighbors and passers-by, he
had sign painted on which he displayed
all the information in regard to the fence
which he fancied could possibly be de.
sired or demanded. He narrated concise.
ly the following facts: Who was owner o.
the land; why be fenced it in; how much
lumber the fence was to contain; where
he bought it,and now much foot he paie
for it; the quantity Of nails to be used
the name Of the builder, and the exac
amount of land to be enclosed. Self
satisfied that he had answered all tn,
questions that could be asked, Mr.. Pei
was quite happy at the idea that be hat
freed himself entirely from impertinen
inquiries. But one night, or rather ye-,,
early on very disagreeable morning Mr
Pell was awakened from deep sleep b,
loud knocking at his front door. Th
call. appeared to be SO urgent that Ml
Pell thrust his head out of the windo,
and demanded, in no gentle tone "Wha
| IN the - was the matter?" Standing
shivering, in his only garment, Mr.. Pei
held the following colloquy with the in
truder:
"Does Mr.. Pell live herel"

"Is it Mr.. Pell who is building tn
fence on Mary street?''
eyes, yes, certainly. What of it? =
"Well, Mr.. Duncan G. Pell, do you in
tend to paint that fence,or will you whit
wash it?"
The answer and the window went dow
together, and Mr.. Pell retired to bed sal
isfed that there could be no escape frol
genuine Yankee inquisitiyeness.
