The Darkies VS.. the Radicals

From the Murfreesboro Mentor
We learn that there has been some
heavy bidding going ON here for the ne.
gro vote at the coming election. 1t seems
that the colored dignitaries have become
unified" because they are not permitted
to hold office and sit on juries-two very
necessary elements TO complete their
wardrobe of freedom. They demand these
rights, and all kinds of persuasion and
powders are being used to convince them
that they are better than the whites, ="
without these qualifications. At the in.
dignation meeting held at Rrack's Ark,
they were promised that If faithful in u
few things and voted Radical, these
blessings would follow afterwards On
what string of luck they promise these
privileges to the negro, we know not;
but should Judge its baEeness would bully
the devil TO equal it. Poor niger, you
are to be made . oats paw by the Radi-
Gals, until singed so thoroughly that the
devil will find you useless when you die.
From the shelbyville Union.l

ours-hands US : list Of upwards Of fifty
Radical names, every enc Of whom he

A PARIS correspondent says: The
dress worn by the Empress Eugenie, at
the opening of the French Chambers,
was of white satin, the upper part of the
sleeve and cuff and the basquine edged
with sable. The bonnet was almost in
visible, of white Grape, wreathed with
dark velvet leaves; but depending from
the edge, falling on her hair, were large
diamond drops. On the narrow brown
velvet strings was a diamond of great
size, and diamonds also formed her ear
rings. The dress, save the sable edge,
was utterly untrimmed.

Oh bright and beautiful, our love
For the rainbow tinted flowers,
When the spring wind gently bids them forth
From out their hidden bowers
Where thro' the long, long winter hours
They have been sweetly sleeping,
With the spirit of the storm and cold
\ sad watch Ger them keeping.
We love them when the summer birds
Their sweet songs hush awhile
And droop their downy pinions, when
The ros. and violet smile;
When the fairies of the frost come forth.
More gorgeous are their dyes,
And the stars SO cold and bright appear
Mid the deep blue of the skies.
The child will crown itself with flowers,
The tieeting and the fair,
And oft the rivers glancing wave
Bright buds and blossoms bear;
The young bride wreathes them in her hair,
We strew them Ger the bier,
And flowers are loves own Offering
To the beautiful and dear.
They shed gleam of radiance round
The sick and wesry hearted,
And speak OF comfort to the SOUL
When earthly dreams have parted;
They read US lessons. beautiful,
Thro' many lonely hours,
And point as thro' Iife's weary way
To where are fadeless flowers

What solemn sounds are those we hear,
Which cause us all to dread and fear?
'Tis death, which makes the stoutest yield
And brings the monarch from the field.
Oh cruel death. when wilt thou cease
And leave this world in perfect peace?
Not till the trump shall loud proclaim
The day of blest millennium.
Then all who sleep in Jesus arms
Shall rise to all hi. Heavenly charms,
And he of whom l now do write
Shall then be cloth'd in shining white.
Why, then, should we look round and mourn
For him who never can return2
He sleeps in Christ till that great day,
Then Christ shall wake his slumbering clay.
He was an active, lovely youth,
Early instructed in the truth,
But, safer now he rests on high,
In Abraham's bosom, never to die.
His parents oft with pleasure gazed
On him, and oft his virtues praised,
But nObler praise his tongue employs
Since Christ affords his heavenly joys.
vacant place there is, indeed,
Which none can fill in word or deed;
Among your children he is not found;
His absence spreads a gloom around.
His vacant garments speak his loss;
They seem to say with mournful voice
That jaime. il gone his spirit fed,
The grave those active limbs have hid.
Thus, while we go from place to place,
Objects, though small, our memory trace,
In vain talk. in vain tell,
He has bid all long farewell.
Farewell, farewell to all around,
Though lie mouldering in the ground,
Remember, al are born TO die,
Prepare to meet me in the sky.
