M--Yes.
C-You tell them their money is not
their own and you urge them to deny
themselves, and TO make sacrifice, in or
der that they may be able to contribute
toward the support and spread of the in
stitutions of Christianity.
NJ do.
C-You urge even the children not to
spend their little pocket money in oranges
mangos, sugar-canes, and sappodillas, with
other fruits and sweets, but to give it to
send the Gospel, and to plant its instilu-
tions where they are not yet known.
Nj do.
CA pretty fellow, then, you are !!
During the time you have had the honor
of being minister of the Gospel, you
confess that you have yourself spent three
times as much Of Gods money on that
worthless weed, or rather that injurious
poison, tobacco, as you have given for the
spread of that glorious Gospel which you
call :. Heavens best boon to man 2" And
yet you have the face to call upon others
to deny themselves foT that purpose
Shame, shame upon you
Nj am ashamed and confounded.
scarcely ever felt more despicable in my
own eyes than do at this moment. From
this time forth, / VOW that will never
spend another penny in tobacco.
Good, good Stick TO that and you
VIII be more worthy of your position and
office.

Bringing Our sheaves With US.

The time for toll has past and hight has come,
The last and saddest Of the harvest ewes
Worn out with labor long and wearisome,
Drooping and faint, the reapers hasten home.
Each laden with his sheayes
Last Of the laborers, thy feet gain,
Lord of the harvest, and my spirit grieyes
ThatI am burdened not much with grain
As with heaviness of heart and brain
Master, behold my sheaves.
Few light and werthess-vet their trihng weight
Through all my frame weary aching leaves,
For long struggled with my hapless fate,
And stayed aud toiled till it dark and late
Yet these are all my sheaves.
Full wen know I have than wheat.
Brambics and flowers dry stocks and wftheret
leaves;
Wherefore blush and weep, at thy feet
kneei down revereutly and repeat,
Master behold my sheayes Z
1 know these blossoms, clustering heavily,
With evening dew upon their folded leaves,
Can claim value utility
Therefore hall fragrance and beauty be
The glory of my sheaves.
So do gather strength and hope anew;
For well know thy patient love pereeives
Not what did, but what strove to DO
And though the full, ripe ears be sadly few,
Thou wilt accept my sheaves.

Mr. Manders, after sharp span Of

hindmost Of the gorills, who were proceed
ing along the highway in Indian file.
Riding alongside the animal, which dis
played his moars in threatening manner,
Mr.. Manders administered crushing
blow with large bar of iron gas tubing
across its loins, causing it TO drop Instant

to his saddle-bow, Mr.. Manders dismount-

keepers, who had arrived at the scene of
action, gorilla No. was cfectually Sc
cured and placed in an adjoining stable for
safety, while the chase was resumed.
The capture Of the second gorilla was
very easily accomplished, he being par
tally stunned by large stone thrown at
his head by one of the keepers. 1t now
only remained to secure the third animal,
which was discovered in the branches Of a
large oak growing by the roadside. His
gorillaship appeared to wonderfully appre-
ciate his new quarters, springing from
branch to branch with marvellous celebrity
for so large an animal. Means Of various
kinds were adopted to capture him. but
for length Of time Of no avail. Stones
were thrown in profusion; several guns
were fred, and at length three Or four of
the keepers, well armed, ascended the
tree, with strict orders to shoot the gorilla
in case OF any determined resistance on
its part. The gorilla, finding himself thus
hardly pressed, sprang from the tree on to
the highway again, and was Immediately
followed by Mr.. Manders and his attend-
ant horseman.
The chase was now exciting, and the
spires Of the Derby churches came in
view. The morning was now getting adj
vanced. and Mr.. Manders, fearing il the
gorilla got into the streets of Derby some
serious accident might take place, called
to the keepers who had loaded firearms to
shoot the animal. Several shots were
fred at him. none taking effect, when in
an instant the gorilla turned round and
faced his pursuers. One of the keepers

gorilla was secured after terrible strug-

A Man Wolf.

Rev. DIR. Butler, the ewell known Meth
0 list missionary, who established the mis-
sion of that church in India in 1856, re-
Gently returned to this country. He makes
The following statement offs remarkable
case:
In 1859 British soldier, while bearing
a dispatch from one magistrate to another
in the kingdom of Dude, passed an unfre-
quented ravine, where he saw a pack Of
wolves, and with them human being,
evidently one Of their company. Immedi-
ately turning back, he reported the circum-
stance to the magistrate for whom he was
travelling. The latter forthwith mustered
number Of coolies and went to the place.
The pack of wolves fed q short distance
and sought icfuge in sort Of cave or
den. Beginning to dig, the party soon
discovered the feet of the wild man, and
drawing him forth, succeeded in binding
and carrying him to Town. DR.. Butler
has seen him often since, and says he i
evidently a man, and at the time Of his
capture apparently about "a years Of age.
The captured creature at first violently
resisted the attempt TO put clothing upon
him, but after while ceased to tear the
garment. Heis now kept BY gentleman
in the city Of Thabje, vampore, some
eight hundred miles west Of Calcutta.
When first taken he was unwilling to
eat anything but raw meat, and has never
been able to speak or make any approxi-
nation to knowledge Of the alphabet. If
any one looks earnestly or sharply at him
he expresses his annoyance by a half ut
tered grunt, Immediately turning away
and settling upon his launches in corner
of the room or lies down. He eats his
food off the ground; and. although evil
dently human being, is in habits a vol,
with the instincts of that beast.
This is certainly an anomalous. fact in
natural history, although it is said that
similar cases are known to have occurred
in India, presenting the same general
facts. 5 ss
Wolves abound in India, where the in
habitants live wholly in the cities and viii
lagos; and at the approach of night all
persons employed in the open country
retire TO these clusters of houses or huts,
and these rowing and ferocious animals
find free range. It frequently happens
that wolf steals into house and carries
off child. So frequently is this the case
that in the schedules furnished for record
ing the mortality in each place, one coli
umn is headed +" Carried of by wolves.~
DIR. Buffers history for this strange case
is that she wolf probably carried of this
person when he was an infant, but that
before she devoured her prey the child
instinctively searched for food. Beginning
to draw its nourishment it awoke in the
wolf the maternal instinct which led to the
preservation Of its life, and thus the boy
lived and grew.

Y [For the Statesman.l
The Question of Suffrage.


MEssRs. EDITORS I'll see in the report of
the Franklin County Democratic Conver-
tion that met in Columbus, it was proposed
to have the convention of the party which
is to meet in Columbus on the Sth of JAN
nary, propose to the people of Ohio wheth-
er the term white in the State Constitution
should not be retained. | turned to the
census of the United States for 1860, and
found Ohio had 36,673 negroes living in the
State. By drawing line from the east to
the west in the State, leaving the counties
of Belmont, Guernsey, MuskiDgum, Lick
ing, Delaware, Union, Logan, Shelby and
Darke south Of the line, and you have 43
counties, containing l.27S,S40 white inhab-
itants, and 3l,S69 negroes. North of the
line, not counting the above named coun-
ties, and there are 45 counties, having
I,024,3OS white persons and 4,S04 negroes.
1914 OF THIS NUMBER OF NEGROES LIVE IN
SIX COUNTIES, viz: Columbiana, Jefferson,
Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lucas and Mercer
These figures present the question
fairly and intelligently to the people of
Ohio. Is it doing justice to the people of
the southern counties to give the negroes
in them suffrage rights? For this would
be the consequence of eracing the term
white from the Constitution of the State in
regard to the persons who are now per-
mitted to vote at the State elections. How
many of them will be suitable to vote in
telligiblyp Has it not been the complaint
for years of those composing the Republi-
can party, that to let the Irish vote at the
elections, as class, was endangering our
civil rights? Is it not a more hazardous
course to fair, intelligent vote of the peo
pie, as to the measures ofan administration,
State OF General Government, to let the
negroes vote, or, to speak more in point of
fact, be brought up to cote as -? Are they
a class Of people that from the prospect of
their future civil, industrious, wealthy and
intelligent standing among us that calls
upon the white people who surround them
and employ them to do the menial business
of life, to give them suffrage rights? They
are of the human family. But this is not
their home. They by their freedom can
emigrate to a land that Is their home, and
from which they and their children will
never be taken from, as their ancestors were.
Then let them be colonized. M.
