Negro Suffrage.

The JeT enumerates quite num-
Der of mongrel papers who have eX.
pressed themselves in favor of sub.
mitting the question ofncgro suffrage
before the people of Ohio, at the com.
ing election. The Jcf thinks sit may
rs well he done first rs last" "that
the people are as well prepared for 1t
now as they may be in the future
But the editors forgot to say wheth
er they are in favor of negro suffrage
or not. Come, speak out, and let
your readers know which way you
are going to vote on the question -
Courier.
w. shall vote aye upon it when it
is submitted, as will every body who
is not afraid that the "nigger" will
become smarter than himself We
presume you will not vote for it, as
will! not those of your subscribers
who have brought up their children
Democratically-the female portion
to want, or fear she shall be obliged
to marry a "big, buck nigger," and
the male TO have an overpowering
love for the "long heeied wench."
There is not one Union man in the
county that fears the negro in the
least, and all are willing to accord
him his rights. Do you consider the
negro race superior in intellect to the
Democratic party3 Do you consid.
er it necessary that safe. guards
should be erected to prevent your
young men and women from marry
with that class of people2 1t you do
ask any colored man if he wishes to
intermarry with the whites, and he
will tell you they don't want to anal.
gamate, and that since slavery is
abolished amalgamation will de.
crease, as the Democratic party has
lost power to bleach black skins to
amuddy white.

Aprcpostcrous Lie.

The Detroit Tribune thus COM
ments upon the latest sensation in
regard to the impeachment question:
The latest sensation story is, that
conspiracy has been discovered, led
by the dreadful Ashley, who is act
ing in the interests of the still more
dreadful Gen Butler, to impeacb
G len. G rant! The absurdity OF the story
is patent. How can military officer
he "impeached?' And who sup
poses that il Gen, Butler meditated
scheme of this kind, he would let
it out to Mr. Ashley or any one else,
especially as his own term in Con.
grcss hegins on the 4Lh OF March,
Gen. Butler has made no disguise
of his hostility to Gen. Grant, and
on that account would have no mo-
tive to act through a third party.
But this fabrication has n still
more preposterous side, for it is con
trivcd so ms to bring Thad. stevens
into it,. and make him n supporter
OF Mr.. Ashley in. the proposed Inn
parchment of the General, and then
70 inculpate the radical leaders gen
erally'in opposition to him. 1t so hap
pens II was only few months ago
that Thad. Stevens, in his place in
the House of representatives, nom
mated Gen. Grant for President in
1865.
1t may be added that "Macli" the
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, from whose
fertile brain this story was coined
has a personal grudge against Mr.
Ashley, having been once rather un
ceremoniously expelled from that
gcntleman's room when he intrudcd
himself there in sort Of Paul Pry
IN amer. Since then lie has lost ne
opportunity to beratc and abuse tue
.repi esentative of the'Toledo district
This last story is only another o
the results Of the malice whicl
"Mack' bears against Mr.. Ashley
The following extract from Nallan
digham's recent letter to the New
York ID y Book, we commend to tho
careful consideration of the few sol
iiers now in the Democratic ranks:

Isaac Penrith's Thanksgiving.

The clock had just struck three. 1t
was no trihe of bronze or ormolu; Meth.
er was it one of those quaint old senti-
nels of dark wood and tarnished gliding
that you sometimes eE counter on antique
stairways, keeping ghostly guard over
the tread of generation after generation.
1t was trim, compact little clock, hang
ing where its dial, like an eye, seemed
to look through the four deep-set win
dows of the circular stone room, and
watch the tides as they swung back and
forth, murmuring discontentedly around
the solid masonry that upheld the light
house: A strange place, dreary, des-
olate place it seemed, prison-like in its
isolation, and terrific in its frowning
strength. Yet even there the grace of
woman's presence cast its visible sign
and token. Upon the pine table vase
of late autumnal flowers glowed in vel
vety carmine and gold, and a round hat
decorated with the scarlet wing of a
tropical bird, lay beside it.
Lucy Penrith was looking from one
of the windows-a slender, pretty girl,
with touches of faint crimson in either
cheek, and violet gray eyes, where the
deep light seemed to swim. Her black
stuff dress was very simple; but there
was hntter of vivid scarlet ribbon at
her throat, and a bunch of coral-red
berries in her shining brown braids,
bearing silent witness to the genuine
love of the picturesque that exists in
every woman's heart.
81 don't think the sea is very rough,
father"
Isaac Penrith deliberately folded his
newspaper inside out, and commenced
on a new column He was hard-fea-
tured, rugged old man, with iron-gr
hair, and a brow where the wrinkles
stood out like knotted cord.
Lucy stole across the stone floor and
put her dimpled face between the
printed page and her fathers spectacles
"Now, father, you ,oiU row me across.
Oh, father, [ can never spend Thanks
giving evening in this dismal place,
and l promised them at the farm
house p'
Crash promises is better broken than
kept" sententiously answered old Isaac.
"But it was not rash promise, faith
err All the young people are to be there
and Philip Martin"
She stopped abruptly, checked by
the dark frown that corrugated her
fathers brow

A BIRD AT SUNSET.

Wild bird that wingest wide the gllmmerin.
moods,
Whittier by belts of yellowing woods away
While pausng sunset thy wild heart allures
Deep into dying day!
Would that my heart, on wings like thine
could pass
Where stars their light in rosy regions los
A happy shadow o'er the warm green grass
Falling with falling dews!
Hast thou, like me, some true love of thin
In fairy lands beyond the utmost seas
Who there, unsolaced, yearns for thee alone
And sighs to silent treess
Oh, tell that wood bird that the Summe
grieves,
And the sun darkens and the days grow
cold,
And tell her, love will fade with fadin;
leaves,
And cease in common mold.
Fly from the Winter of the world to her !!
Fly, happy bird 1 follow in thy flight
Till thou art lost in yonder fringe of fir
In baths of crimson light.
My love is dying far away from me;
She sits and saddens in the fading west,
For her mourn all day, and pine to be
At night upon her breast.

PERFECT REST.

In the quiet of the church-yard
The weeping willows wave
Their slender, dropping branches
In the chilly autumn air;
And the wither'd church. yard grasses,
Above each lonely grave,
Utter sad and mournful whispers
Ger the dead who slumber there.
In the golden months of summer
Comes the honey-laden bee,
To hum amid me clover
His drowsy, murmurous song
While the yellow-hear daisies
Grow thick and fair to see
And the sky looks down upon them.
With smile the whole day long.
Then, at times, love to wander
Among the peaceful dead.
Where the golden-netted sunbeams
Sleep gently on the grass
And to think on friends departed,
And the years forever fed;
While across the marbles whiteness
Falls my shadow as pass.
w hat calm, unbroken slumber,
What sweet and perfect rest,
In the quiet of the church. yard
For evermore to lie;
With the tired hands gently folded
Across the pulseless breast,
In summer and in winter,
While the feeting years go by!
Not any thought of sorrow,
Nor shadow born of care,
No eager, restless longings,
Of this busy life part;
No dream of proud ambition
Can ever enter there;
Or the turbulent emotions
That crowd the beating heart.
Sometimes when very weary,
When the days seem dark and drear,
And my heart beats low within me,
By sense of grief oppres't,
Then the graves within the church-yard
More beautiful appear,
And a longing fills my bosom
For the sweet and perfect rest.

along the tumultuous sea, the light of
the lighthouse streamed upon his vision
The danger signal-the steady finger of
fire held up to bid hundred crafts
"Beware 1.-THE beacon for which ma
ny and many an anxious helmsman was
gazing out into the night. He was not
dreaming-his senses were not benumb-
ed-yet the light was all ablaze in its
huge crystal lantern, and he was guilt
less of the weight of crime and misery
that had so nearly weighed him down !!
When Truman Cliffe rowed up to the
shore, an hour afterward, he found Isaac
Penrith kneeling on the sand, with his
forehead against the chill white rock.
"Well, | say fort calculated Tru-
man. "You hain't been to the light

Truman stared, but made room for
the keeper and gave up the oars Not a
word was exchanged between them as
Isaac rowed with giant strokes, and the
little boat danced over the troubled bill
lows swift and light as a floating leaf
Nearer any nearer glowcd the gigantic
star-closer and closer its glory seemed
to shine-until at length Isaac Penrith
sprang upon the stone ledge and rushed
two steps at time up the iron stairway
into the lantern-room.
There, with his feet on the fender,
composedly looking over the columns of
the newspaper, sat young man. He
rose as Penrith entered the room.

"God bless you, Philip! God bless

"And Lucy?"
"Lucy is over at Clife's. Take the
boat, Phil, and 60 and join her. Tru
man is below. And, Philip"
"Sir 2"
''Tell her-well, tell her what you
like !''
The old man smiled family as he saw
the warm flush deepen on Martins
bronzed cheek, and the next moment he
was alone
Philip knew that the coveted prize
was his at last-and the little boat flew
back over the waves almost like an en-
chanted bark.
And throughout all the length and
breadth of the rejoicing nation that
night there was no Thanksgiving half
so fervent as that breathed in the light
house when the signal star threw its
fiery lines far out to sea, and the fog
and mist brooded like a phantom over
the face of the great deep.

CAMP ANECDoTE.-A friend who
has just returned from the camp on the

the manner in which Dutchman, who
was on sentry, proclaimed the hour
The usual cry is "half past ten o'clock,

A CAPITAL SToRY.-A capital story
is told of young fellow who on one
Sunday strolled into village church;
and during the service was electrified
and gratifed by the sparkling of pair
of eyes which were riveted upon his face
After the service he saw the possessor
of the shining orbs leave the church
alone, and, emboldened by Ter glances,
he ventured to follow her, his heart
aching with rapture. He saw her look
behind, and fancied he evinced some
emotion at recognizing him. He then
quickened his pace, and she actually
slackened hers, as if to let him come up
with her-but we will permit the young
gentleman to tell the rest in his own
way. "Noble young creature I" thought
!, cher artless and warm heart is supe-
rior to the bond of custom" l had
reached within stones throw of her.
She suddenly halted, and turned her
face toward me. My heart swelled to
bursting. l reached the spot where she
stood, she began to speak, and 1 took
off my hat as if doing reverence to an
angel. "Are you a peddler?" "No;
my dear girl, that is not my occupation
"Well, I don't know" continued she,
not very bashfully, and cycling me stern
ly; 81 thought, when saw you in the
meeting house, that you looked like a
peddler who passed off pewter half
dollar on me three weeks ago, and so
