KldmapplnI Girls.

Kidnapping Girls. ...-.
The police records make US acquainted
with the alarming fact that within the last
three weeks no less than sixty girls are
known to have been stolen from their homes
in this city for the worst purposes. How
many more cases of the same kind have
occurred which are unknown to the public
is matter of terrible conjecture. The
crime of kidnapping children and young
girls has increased lately to frightful ex-
tent. Either by strategy or force, the
ranks of the most wicked and abandoned
class are constantly recruited from among
the virtuous and innocent, both in town
and country. 1t is one Of the most hideous
qualities of the social evil that, Moloch-
like, it is perpetually drawing new victims
into its fatal gulf of infamy. The most
active agents in this nefarious traffic, sad
as it may seem, are women, who under
pretense of friendship and offers of high
wages, succeed in tempting youth and in
nocence to take the first step in career of
sin and shame. 1t is enough to alarm the
boldest to think that girl Of fourteen can
be snatched up in the middle of the day in
our crowded streets, and carried to place
secure from the utmost vigilance of the
police. Death itself is less dreaded than
the fate into which these unfortunate girls
are plunged beyond hope or chances Of re-
clamation. Parents will dread to let their
children run at large if such glaring crimes
can 60 undctected. The evil, great as it is,
is one far more prevalent than is generally
supposed. The public hear of only few
accidental cases, for the reason that the
distressed relatives and friends of the girl
thus lost are anxious to keep their sorrow
quiet, and avoid the implied disgrace that
often attaches to such misfortune. But
even at a risk of wounding private feelings,
it would be safer for the public generally
that the frequency of this atrocious prac-
ticc should be made known far and wide,
that all may be on their guard against the
villainous agents who stalk abroad in day
time on our streets, and whose accompliccs
lurk unsuspected in almost every village in
the land, for the purpose of drag gging souls
to perdition. 1t will be disgraceful if our
police authorities cannot very materially
mitigate, if not altogether prevent, this
appalling danger.-Ne,c York S,.n.

Conflict and Conquest.

Courage, brother, do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night:
There's star to guide the humble:
Trust in God, and do the right"
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely-strong or weary,
Trust in God, and do the right"
Perish policy" and cunning
Perish all that fears the light;
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God, and do the right"
Trust no party, sect, or fashion;
Trust no leaders in the fight;
But in every word and action,
Trust in God, and do the right"
Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace and inward might,
Star upon our pathway abiding:
sTrust in God, and do the right"
Some viii hate thee, some will love thee,
Some viii fatter, some will slight;
Cease from man and look above thee,
"Trust in God, and do the right"

VIRGINIA.

The Richmond Enquirer admits that Vir
ginia has voted by majority of 10000 for
a Convention. The delegates to the Conven-
ton stand as follows: White Republicans
AZ, colored Republicans 25, Conservative or
Rebels, all white, 3S. The cdlored delegates
are generally intelligent men, and can read
and write.
The returns show that the Republicans of
Virginia voted as unit Common interest
and the pressure of a common danger ensured
unity in their ranks. In every County where
colored men were on the ticket the vote was
the same for the white and the colored can
didates, and the same for Convention. We
hold up this example for the imitation of
our North Carolina friends. Let them r0te
the ticket. When the nominations are made
let every Republican spring to their support,
and vote together like an iron wedge. Our
friends in Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama, and
Georgia have done this, and the result is glo-
rious triumphs in those States. Let us fol-
low their example. They walk before US
and beckon us on to victory.
