Our Remaining National Curse

Young men! There i 5 a great
work Tor us to do. A special work
W tic h must b c done now. 4
work in which every young man car
do something. A work which cal
never be done better than it can be
done now.
Our remaining great national curse
must be fought and conquered. The
power of the strong drink interest
must be broken. The spread of drunk
ennesS must be stopped, or we are
lost.
The putting down Of drunkenness
and the reforming OF drunkards. is a
work worthy Of Him whose name we
bear.
How can we help on with the work.
l. Let every young man set an
example OF abstinence from strono
drink
There is no occasion for a healthy
man to use liquor at all. 1t does not
strengthen the arm; it does not clear
the head it does not brighten the eve
1t does not make the footstep frmer
1t does not make the man who uses if
more industrious, more useful. more
lovely, or more worthy member of
society. 1t does not make him more
of gentleman.

Wheat among Tares.
ny CLARA D. HEATH.

I walked beside a field one day
Where tares gree rank aud tall;
The sun shone on them, and the ran,
Whenever il watcred hill and plain,
Around the tares did fall.
And stopping down beside the wall
To pluck violet blue,
| saw, beyond the flower so sweet,
A dropping head of ripened wheat
Among the tares it grew.
And can it bel reasoned thus
That grain is growing here2
While close around it, like wall,
Are growing tares, SO coarse and tall,
So very, very neari
l looked again,-'twas surely wheat
Upon that barren ground;
Its stalk was just as clean and neat,
Its kernels just as ripe and sweet,
As any had found.
Perhaps the talk was scarce as strong
As that by lot more blest,
The tares had drank up sun and rain,
But still the wheat had ripened grain
The wheat had done its best.
If wheat can still be tnheGt, l said,
That grows in such spot;
Then each his mission can fulfil,
And Christians may he Christians STILL
Whatever be their lot.

"Is that one side is dressed in blue,
The other clad in grey"
/ went into a Federal camp;
heard the soldiers cry,
"Hmrah, here come the newspapers"
And saw them rush to buy.
went along the Valley road,
And met upon my way
Ten of Lees struggling Infantry,
All clad in rebel grey.
One held a proclamation out,
And as stopped my steed,
Said "Tell us what this paper says,
For non e Of as can read"
And | replied: "If you could read,
And find out what is true.
Instead Of wearing Davis grey.
You'd wear the Lincoln blue"
Grey is the color Of the dust
In which the serpent crawls;
And blue the hue Of heaven which looks
Down on earth's prison walls.

Even when sick, strong drink is
better avoided, or used sparingly, I'M
der positive medical prescription
Many men make drunkards of them
selves by continuing to use, as bever-
age, strong drink which has been pre-
scribed as medicine. Young man,
you do not so continue tn e use OF
EPSON salts, castor oil, or mustard
plasters, after recovery from sickness.
To drink liquor is dangerous. To
abstain from it in spite oftemptation to
use it.. is noble. The temptation is
presented everywhere. In the res
taurant where we eat our dinner, the
decanterS Of fiery poison face
US like batteries posted for our destruc-
ton; in the social gathering, the mix
ture Of Alcohol and logwood, which
bears the high sound of some ceIebra-
ted wine, is thrust upon Us under the
guise OF hospitality and good cheer;
1t the wedding, some intoxicating
mixture is set before US, and we are
told that we are guilty of rudeness if
we 90 not partake; III the family
closet, the jug of brandy, or the bottle
OF vile ''bitters" invites to the private
pursuit Of course which proves, in
Tue end, even as bitter as gail and

conservative Convention In Mary.
Iand-lirand SucceSs.

BALTIMORE, July 2G.--The Union State
Convention met in this city yesterday,
co,ppo,ed of delegates iavoring the resto-
ration policy Of the President and the
c,urc. of the Governor Of the State in
sustaining that policy.
TIL. convention was we'll attended, and
conpri,rd among its members many who
will be recognized on account of their
abilities and past services in different pub
lie positions, and VIII" are now unmis-
takablv rejecting, to large degree, the
national and conservative sentiment which
nrcvails among the masses of the people.
Hon. John NJ. Frazier, the Speaker Of the
last House of Delegates, was called TO pre-
side. and the whole proceedings appear to
have been marked by the utmost harmony
and good feeling. A very able series OF
resolutions, conservative and national in
tone, and properly discriminating as to
Federal and State powers, while yet re-
cornizing the changed condition of things
growing out of the war, and endorsing
fully the policy Of the President and the
| principles announced in his veto messages,
and also making liberal expression in re-
gard 70 the State registration law and
other vital matters, was enthusiastically
adopted by the convention without the
least manifestation Of disposition to amend
or dissent to any portion OF their avowals
The only State nomination to be made
was for Comptroller of the Treasury
Several gentlemen were named, but all
were Withdrawn excepting Colonel Viii.
liam J. Leonard, of Worcester county, who
was then nominated by reclamation. Colo.
mel Leonard formerly represented his
county in the State Legislature. He was
Wing in politics, and WAS recommended
for the comptrollcrslip by friends, on &C.
count of business capacity and high per.
sonal character. Delegates were appointed
to the Philadelphia National Union Con,
vcntiun for the State at large, As follows
, Hons. Thomas Swami, Montgomery Blair
j. W. CrSficld, and Rcvcrdy johnson
and for the congressional districts as fol
lows: FIRST district, Colonel George
Eickcrs, Hon. John K. Franklin; second

J. Morrison Harris third district, Colonel
William II. Purncll, Hon. John VI. Fazier
fourth district, Colonel William p,
Maul>by, General J. G. Sullivan fifth dis
trict, Robert Fowler, DR.. W. W. Watkins
The presiding officer was authorized to
appoint q State Central Committee, con.
listing Of one person from each county, to
be announced hereafter.

From the Enquirer OF yesterday.
The conservatism OF the country seems
10 be Sloughing oil the impedimcnts with
which the call for the Philadelphia Con-
ventiOn was unwiscly and unnecessarily
embarrassed, and is resolving it into a
gathering simply Of the friends Of peace,
reunion, the supremacy of the ConStltu-
ton, and the equal rights Of the States
under il. In no single instance have we
seen any endorsement of the dogmas
of the call, though cordial sympathy and
concurrence is invariably expressed as To
the OBJECTS. This is proof that the present
alton of these objects is universally felt to
be very faulty and unhappy; and hence,
by general consent, the call is rewritten, or
substituted by simple declaration Of the
aims and sentiments above stated, and such
as will allow all good men TO get together
without hindrancc or embarrassment.

Nallandigham, Pcndlet"n, an Ohio gene

leading politician Of the Thirteenth ward
New York Captain Conlin, New YORK,

George Francis Train met Eallandigham

FORTRESS MONROE, July 23.--The United
States tug Geneva retYned yesterday
morning from the scene Of the disturbance
on the Eastern Shore Of Virginia, near
Drummondtown, between the inhabitants
and the negroes. From the statement OF
the officer in command of the detachment
/ of troops sent over 10 preserve order, IL
appears that the troubles originated in a
| baud OF white men hunting down some oi
! the negroes for the purpose OF searching
for one named Couch, who few days pre-
vious had attempted 10 cut the throat OF
n white man, and robhing them Of their
arms and money. Complaint was made to
the civil authorities, and warrants issued
| for the arrest OF eleven Of the men com.
uniting the outrages upon the negroes.
! The lith instant was sci apart for tn"
hearing of the case at village named
Woodstock. On that day about one hun
drcd wcll-armcd white men assembled,
! swearing they would kill every negro who
attempted to testify, and threatened the
magistrate, Mr.. Dix, with VIOLENCE if the
proceedings were gone through with. The
magistrate, seeing the state Of affairs, en-
dorscd upon the warrants for the arrest
| of the parties the impoSsibilty Of conduct
ing the trial under such circumstances,
and gave it to Major French, the agent
OF the Frcedmcn's Bureau. This latter
officer advised the negroes to quietly re-
turn to their homes, and while doing 50
were again assaulted and pursued by the
armed whites until they reached a place
Of safety.
Upon the arrival of the troops from the
fortress, they all dispersed in every di-
rcction, not one OF them being found after
the rigid search made by the soldiers
