Speak kindly, gently to thy wife,
She knows enough OF sorrev;
Oh seek not irom each petty i'll
An angry word to borrow,
For in her heart there treasured love,
Oh! prize its golden worth;
One gentle word, one smil, Of thine,
Can ever call it forth.
When thou art harsh, end stern and coil,
Aud from thine own dear home,
The sunshine Of domestic love
In sorrow seeks to roam
Upon her heart ,hy cold words fall
And chill loves tender life
Then, oh ! amidst thy trials all,
Speak kindly to thy wife.
Speak softly kindly to thy wife;
She may have left a home
OF cherished 1--we, aud to thine own
But scarce year have come;
Though five or ten have told the time,
And thou hast shared its strife,
Whcuc er thy footsteps homward turn,
Speak kindly 10 thy wife.
Speak kindly, gently 10 thy wife
She may be growing old,
And soon sc both may garncrcl lie

King the said Ethiopians having been sent

sent for. Moreno, to their amazcment, ad.

MISSISSIPPI.
A Startling Event. Armed Negroes March
Into Mississippi T6pn and Demanded
Bread

A Startling Event Arn,ed Negroes March
Into a Mississippi 26wn and Demanded
Bread.
For some time great deal Of dissatiSfac.
ton has existed among the freedmen in the
neighborhood Columbus, Mississippi. They
had quit work, and left the fields white
with cotton, and would not pluck boil, the
reason given for such action being that
their share Of the crop would not pay their
cxpcnces for the year, owing to tho tax on
the staple and the low price to which II had
fallen. As soon as they refused to work as
matter Of course they had to leave the
plantation and give up their houses to other
lsborers who would work. They then took
to :he woods, and commenced system Of
indiscriminate pilfering and stock-killing -
About two hundred Of them have been as.
scn,blcd in the heighborhood Of Columbus,
Mississippi, since the beginning Of the elcc-
ton, and had become perfect nuisance and
terror to the ncighborhood.
AT the request Of the citizens company
Of United States troops have been stationed
at Columbus, for the protection Of tho lives
and property Of the people. When this
band Of vagabonizod negroes had exhausted
the country Of everything that was stealabe
they determined to make raid on the town
Of Columbus in full force. They were all
armed and, procuring Gfe and drum,
marched iuto the town, demanding bread. -
Not one Of them asked for work. they did
not want that Bread was all their cry,
and they were about commencing an indis-
criniinate robbery, when the United States
troops appeared on the ground and disarm.
cd them first and then dispersed them
The rinyleaders we're taken into custody.
Whs: scene Of bloodslicd and robbery We
would have to relate had it no. been for the
fortunate presence Of the troops, we shudder
to think Of
This is the first attempt Z. q bread riot
which has ever occurred in the South,
but how long it will be until they become
common it takes no tar-seeing prophet to
ioretell. The negroes all through the coun-
try are becoming thoroughly demoralized
under the teachings Of the Radical hyenas,
who counsel and ins;te them at every fence.
corner, to tl:eir own destruction. They
now positively, in many localities, refuse to
work; will makeno contracts with the planters
fully expecting the division Of land so long
promised them by their Radical leaders
Eands Of from three to forty arc roaming
through Mississippi in every direction, q
terror and a nuisance, not only to the planter
but to the industrious of their own color.
How long this state Of affairs can continue
without scenes Of riot and bloodsled de-
pends upon the torbearance Of the white
man. A spark may ignite the train which
will redden the horizon with the blaze Of
burning houses and initiate conflict be.
tween the races bloody and remorscless.
