l warn you, my, colored friends, if you would
be respectable in society. or prosperous in
your purse, or decent in your own feelings
to avoid all such people. They will hug you
and call you friend, and talk about your
friends, but they will pull you down to de-
gradation, to sorrow, to poverty and TO shame
They have white skins but black hearts, and
will ruin your characters if you associate
with them. They are creatures born of po.
'ltical accidency and reasonable conspiracy,
and are the enemies of all good governments
and of all decent people. Applause.
And now, my friends CT all races, Of all
colors, of all nations, Of all sexes, of all ages

Which, mus, sa, though, rather rude.
However, said 1, when I'm once in my teens,
They'll sure cease to worry me then;
But us grew older, so they grew bOldc'-
Such impudcnt things are tho men;
Are the men, arc the men,
Such impudent things are the men.
But of all the bold things could ever suppose
Yet how could take it amiss?)

When he actually gave me II kiss,
Ay, kiss, SO he did,
When ho actually gave me kiss

That ere we were half through the glen,

The Old Oak Tree.

Oh, the old oak tree is standing now,
Where itstood so long ago,
When in lis shade We children played,
Till the sun in the west grew low;
And its branches reach Us far and high,
And the sky above is as clear;
But under it now no children play,
In the golden day OF the year.
The sun beams creep through the rustling lcayes
That fail on the moss-grown seat,
And the tnll grass wave, where in other years
1t was trodden by children's feet;
And the bees hum lazily in the shade,
Through the long bright summers day,
And the soft wind murmurs with lonely sound
Where we children used to play.
Wo arc NIL gone from our chillhood's home,
And have wandered fur away
OF all that band of the dear old time,
There is not one left to-day.
We are parted now by many mile,
Ger the wnvcs and mountains high;
And one has gone to the home beyond,
Through the golden gates of the sky.
And many year has come mud gone,
Al many summers sun
Has passed adown the golden west,
When the long bright day was done;
And many an autumn wind has blown,
And many winter cast,
Der hill and vale its shroud Of snow,
Since we children met there last.
The weary years will still move on,
With their sunshnes and their pain;
But there in the shade of the old oak tree
We will never all meet again.
But there is city of quiet rest,
And its portals are open wide;
A. one by one as the angels call,
May we meet on the other side.

Indiana Legislature.

ri
Only one week now remains of the
present session of the Indiana Legis-
lature, and yet there is much impor-
tant legislation incomplete. We hope
our correspondent is mistaken in, his
fears as to the prospective failure of
the passage Of the Registry and House
ofRefuge Bills. We are free to say that
the General Assembly win have failed
in two of the most important measures
of the session if they do not pass
these bills; and for their failure they
will BE called to "a strict account by
the people. There has been no. serii-,
Gus opposition in either party to the
passage of such acts, and they are GER
tainly called for by the citizens of the
State. To us onIthe border, especially,
the Registry law is of the utmost i'm
portance, and we urge upon our Sena-4
tor and Representatives, and all others
who regard the wishes Of the people
and the purity Of elections, to exert
themselves to secure its -passages-s-..--

The Reconstruction Bin Passed.

The Thirty -nineth Congress closed
up its labors with the passage of the
Military G Government Bill, the measure
of the greatest importance before it.
After a full discussion of its pro-
visions, it received solid Union vote,
and when the Presidents veto of the
bill was read, the same undivided
vote passed it over his veto, and sent
It to the country as the policy of Con-
gress, as opposed 70 that of the Presi-
dent. The Republican party is
not alone in its advocacy of
the bill. REvERDY JOHNSON, the
ablest member of the Democratic
party in Congress, not only voted for
the Bill, on It's original passage. but
voted for and spoke in its favor, In
opposition to the Presidents veto.
Already we have an answer to the ac-
ton of Congress, in the dispatches
this morning, informing us that the
Governor of the "Old Dominion :"
recommends the Legislature to call a
Convention, in accordance with the
terms of the Bill. May we hope
that the beginning of peace can thus
be seen; and that the Southern States,
governed by reason and interest, will
accept the conditions established by
Congress, and again resume their po-
sition as States, in full possession of
their rights and privileges.
