Have Faithi whsre'er thy bark is driven -
The cfafm's dfspnrt. the tempest's mlrth-
Know this: God rules the hosts OF heaven,
The inhabitsnts OF earth.
Have Love! Not love alone for one;
But man, AZ man, thy brother call
And scatter. Ike the oircl ng sun.
Tiy charities on all.
thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope. Faith, and Love-sHd thou shalt nnd
strength when fe's surges rudest ron,
Light when thou else wer, blind. Es.

perhensive arrangements he'd bin
made for defeatin this most nefarus
and dangerous proposisheu. Paradin

wagon containin 25 virgins, runuin
from 27 to Al, the most NV em ruther

il the ijea Nv females Nv that age,
callin upon fathers to save EN- from

from the aged appearance Nv the
damsels, their parents must be too
far advanced in yeers to take an ac
tiv part in biznis. In anuther wagon
wuz a colleokshun Nv men wich he'd
bin hired from the railroade, twelve
miles distant, whose banners read,
"Shel ignerent niggers vote beside
intelligent Wite men!" and the fol

And rool US whites up here
Oh no, my friends, we ruther guess
