Remarkable Prediction.

The following extract, which a writer for
the Cincinnati Enquirer quotes from page
80 of Mr.. Calhoun's works, and which was
written in 1S40, reads like history rather
than prediction
IF it (emancipation) should ever be eff
fected it will be through the agency OF the
Federal Government controlled by the dom
inant power of the Northern States Of the
confederacy against the resistance and strug-
ole of the southern. It can then only be eff
fected by the prostration of the white race;
and that would necessarily engender the bit
terest feelings Of hostility between them and
the North. But the reverse wou.d be she
case between the blacks Of the South and the
people Of the North. Owing their emanci-
patton to them, they would regard them as
friends, guardians, and parents, and centre,
accordingly, all their sympathy in them
The people of the North would not fail to re-
ciprocate, and to favor them instead of the
whites; under the influence of such feelings,
and impelled by fanatieism and love of pow
er, they would not stop at emancipation.
Another step would be taken-to raise them
to political and social equality with their for
mer owners by giving them the right Of vo-
ting and holding public Offices under the
Federal Government We see the first step
towards it in the bill already alluded TOTO
vest the free blacks and slaves with the right
to vote on the question Of emancipation in
the District of Columbia. But when once
raised to an equality they would become the
fast political associates of the North, acting
and voting with them on all questions; and
by this political union between them holding
the white race at the South in complete sub
lection The blacks, and the profigate whites
that might unite with them, would become
the principle recipients Of the Federal Offices
and patronage, and would, in consequence,
be raised above the whites of the South in
the political and social scale. We would, in
a word, change conditions with them-a deg
radiation greater than has yet fallen to the lot
of free and enlightened people, and one
from which we could not escape should eman-
cipation take place, (Which it certainly vii
if not prevented, y but by fleeing the homes o.
ourselves and our ancestors, aud by abandon
ing our country to our former slaves, to be-
come the permanent abode Of disorder, anar
chy, poverty, misery, and wretchedness.

ErpaEs,1nD.

A friend who has been residing in the
peninsula for some months past, informs US
that there are about %, 600 negroes between
williamsburg and Hampton distance Of
thirty six miles. These people are sustained
with rations furnished by the Government,
at a cost of 100000, monthly, while five,
companies of cavalry are required to pa.Eole
the country to prevent depredations. Every
effort has been made to induce a portion OF
them to remove to Florida, the officers of the
Government offering them free transporte-
ton. There is standing offer of this ma
ture made by Gen. Armstrong, of the Freed
mans Bureau, to convey the men, with
their families, to any point they may select,
with the view of engaging in useful labor.
But they have persistently refused every Of
fer Of the kind and rejected every overture
made to get them employment. Under the
the provisions of the Civil Rights bill it is.
impossible to do anything contrary to their
wishes, and so they remain huddled within
this limited area and are heavy tag upon
the Government Some Of them have taken
to highway robbery, and, but for the pres
ence of large cavalry force, residence in
that country would be intolerable. How long,
we wonder, will the people submit to this
enormous tax to support such idle and worth

A Remarkable Casa Girl InSensible fGr
Seven Weeks.

At Evansville, New York, little girl
named Robinson, aged about ten years, was
seized after dinner with sort of fit, hes<
muscles becoming stiff as board. Her jaws
were firmly locked, the abdominal muscles
hard, the toes drawn to the bottom of the
feet, the fingers tightly clenched and the
entire form so rigid that she could be raised
on end by the head or feet like stick AT
the same time her forearms were revolving
around each other with rapidity that no
we'll person could initiate. The motion coppsc
tinued for about half a day. Her respl-
ration and the circulation of blood continued
normal.
In this strange condition she continued
about seven weeks without taking particle
of nourishmcnt, although every effort was
made to introduce food in liquid form thro'
an opening made by extracting tooth,
or by injection The only medical agent
that could soften the muscles was chlorotorm
and the effects of an application only lasted
four or five minutes Once she opened her
eyes and replied to question from her faith
err: care you sick Susan ?" eyes father
[ am very sick, and. going to die" A
liniment composed of chloroform, ammonia,
camphor and turpentine was finally resorted
to, and the entire skin was red with friction
the use of which after a few days seemed to
relax the muscular rigidity, and she at last
became able to make signs for food. About
seven days after she opened her eyes she-re-
covered the full use Of her faculties. and
she is now as we'll and as hearty as ever

Firmly Resolve Never to Owe Debt.

1t is the fundamental mistake Of most boys
to suppose that they can get rich faster on
money earned by others than that earned re-.
spectfully by themselves. If every youth of Is,
to 25 years to-day were offered $50. 900 for
ten years at seven per cent. interest, two-thirds
of them would eagerly accept it when the
probable consequence is that three fourths Of
them would die bankrupts and paupers.-
Boys do not need money half so much as they
need to know how to earn and save it. The
boy who, at the close of this first year Of in
dependence, has earned and saved one hum
dred dollars, and invested or loaned it where
it will pay him six Or seven per cent. will
certainly become rich if he lives: while he
who closes his first year of responsibility in
debt, will probably live and die in debt
There is no greater mistake by our American
youth than that of paying interest rather than
receive. Interest devours us while we sleep !;
it absorbs our profits and aggravates our los
ses Let young man at twenty-five have
81 600 loaned on bond and mortgage. or in
vested in public securities, and he will rarely
want money thereafter in fact, that 81 900,
invested at seven per cent, will of itself make
him rich before he is sixty. There is no rule
more important or wholesome for our boys
than that which teaches them to go through
life receiving interest rather than paying

Poetry.
MY MOTHER.

Long years have passed Of toll and strife,
And darker grows the path OF life,
AS up the rugged steep climb,
And pause to hear the ling ring chime.
Of mem ries from the oden time,
My mother, my sweet mother.
Thou told st me how my Saviour died.
On bloody Calvary crucifed,
How Mary wept his cross beside,
As agonizingly He cried,
And darkly flowed the crimson tide,
My mother, oh, my mother.
Thy lessons were not taught in vain,
Their sacred seed I still retain,
That in my heart will terminate,
And though the harvest be but late,
Twill bless thee in my Late estate,
Ny mother, my dear mother.
Once more, once more I crave to rest,
A child upon thy faithful breast,
And at thy feet in prayer to bow,
And feel thy hand upon my brow,
With many deep lines furroWed now,
My mother, OH my mother
] know, know thou wilt not YIELD
Though all thy loved ones strew the field,
Though ruthless hands thy home shall blight
Thy smile will ever be as bright,
Defying still the vandals might,
My mother, my brave mother.
Long years have passed, alas what years,
OF blighted hopes and binding tears,
And on his lonely wandering way,
Thine absent son doth nightly pray,
Gods blessings on thee far away,
Ny mother, my sweet mother.

A SEAsoNABLE REcEIPT-As the black
berry season is almost at hand, we give
place to the following item from the Ger
mantown Telegraph for the information Of
our readers:
There is no wine equal to the blackberry
when properly made, either in favor or for
medicinal purposes, and all persons who can
conveniently do SO. should manufacture
enough for their own use every year, as it is
Invaluable in sickness as tonic, and moth
ing is better remedy for bowel Diseases
We, therefore, give the receipt for making
it, and having tried it ourselves, we speak
advisedly on the subject: Measure your
berries and bruise them; to every gallon
adding one quart of boiling water. Let the
mixture stand twenty-four hours, stirring
occasionally then strain off the liquor into
cask, to every gallon adding two pounds Of
sugar; cork tight, and let it stand till the
following October, and you will have wine
ready for use, without further straininc or
boiling. This makes most excellent and
pasatable wine"

AN ExAoTING BRIDE AND SENSIBLE

she told him that two things she would re-

gave his premise to furnish these she would
not marry him. The things she deemed
most essential to the happiness of married
lady were cook and a chambermald, and
these she must have when she married.
They both were poor, and sucRa demand

WoRD TO SINGLE W OMEN. -Ifa man wipes
his feet on the door mat before coming into

1t is not unlikely he will made greedy,
selfish husband, with whom you will enjoy
