pose of the party in power to force these
men away, and deprive the State of the
benefit of their productive energies.

They go TO other States, as 'loyar as
West Virginia, and are there recognized
as citizens; here they are not. Ohio re-
fused to disfranchise after the manner
of West Virginia, and by so doing she
attracted to her soil many of our most
industrious people. When these men

make us duly thankful!

LITTLE ROSE.

She comes with fairy footsteps
Softly their echoes fall
And her shadow plays like summer shade
Across the garden wall.
The golden light IL dancing bright
Mid the masses of her hair, 7.
And her fair Young locks are waving free
To the wooing OF the air.
Like sportful fawn she boundeth .....-
So gleefully along;
As wild young bird she caroleth
The burden of song.
The summer flowers are clustering thick
Around her dancing feet,
And on her cheek the summer breGze
Is breathing soft and sweet.
The very sunbeams seem to iinger
Above the holy head,
And the wild flowers ut her coming
Their richest fragrance shed.
And oh how lovely light and fragrance
Mingle in the life within;
Oh how fOndly do they nestle
Round the soul that knows no sin.
Size comes-the spirit of our childhood
A thing OF mortal birth, 3
Yet bearing still the breath of heaven
To redeem her from the earth
Shs comes in bright.robed Innocence,
UnsOiled by blot or blight,
And passeth by our wayward path,
4 gleam of angel light.
Oh blessed things are children
The gifts of heavenly love;
They stand betwixt Our world hearts
And better things above.
They link us with the spirit world
OF purity and truth,
And keep our hearts still fresh and young
With the presence Of their youth.

A Secret Marriage and the Tragic
Result


From the Springfield Qn) Advertiser.l
For many months Young gentleman
well known to the citizens of Spring
field, paid his affections to young lady
who occupied position in neighbor
ing town several degrees more elevated
socially, than his own. The youth, be
ing of good personal appearance, ant
withal an excellent conyersationalist
succeeded in engaging the affections o.
the young lady to An extent that moth
ing could satisfy except matrimony
The postoffice had for time done it:
duty, as postoftices always do in sucl
matters, and many were the long, and
doubtless tender messages that passed
between the loving two, protected By
the efficient care of their dear uncle from
the prying eyes of those who would
have given something nice" to have
known what was going OH.
The lady knew that her "papa and
mamma" would never consent to the
union Of two loving hearts, with heI
parents nine of wealth laying between
them, and so she readily consented tC
the young mans proposition to have
the thing done up "On the sly" all un-
known to the folks, while she was on a
visit TO some of her relatives at Colum.
bus. Her charmer called and the thing
was done. After brief honeymoon in
the capital city Of Ohio, she returned
to her home, but her husband did not
return with her.
From the time Of the daughters ar
rival home the old people faucied they
could hear strange noises in the house.
Steps were often heard upon the stairs
in the lone still hours Of night. Various
articles of furniture moved mysteriously
about in the room above, and the old
gentleman aud lady finally came to the
conclusion that the house was haunted,
or that something was wrong. One
night, after all had retired, the "pa-
rents" net only distinctly heard steps
upoH the stairs, but voices and noises

wi horse-pistol that had done good
service in pioneer times, the father left
his bed aid quietly approached the foot
of the stairs, where he found resting
upon the lower Stsp apair of boots. AT
once he set up the cry of thieves, rob
bers, murder" that in a twinkliDg
brought every member of the house
hold TO the scene-eXcept his daughter.
All hands then proceeded cautiously
To the young lady's room, and not being
able to arouse her they broke open the
door Just III time to see bootless man
dive through the window. The old
gentleman rushed to the opening, dis
charged his pistol, and the young man
dropped to the ground. Great heav-
ems, you have killed my husband" ex-
claimed the daughter, falling back and
fainting upon the bed. "YOur hus-
band" cried all in breath, and then q
rush of dOmestics for the yard below.
The young man was found upon the
ground beneath the window, carried
into the house, and the old people, fran
tic with grief and fear, promised to re-
ceive him to their hears if he would
only live. The doctor soon arrived,
AID having dressed slight flesh wound
upon his arm, pronounced him IN no
danger. He has now recovered, and is
one of the happiest men within fifty
miles of Springfield.

Cheating the Negroes

The negroes of Georgia are diSsatls-
fed with the manner in which the
"Black Crook" Convention of that State
has arranged the holding -ot-ofiice ques-
ton. In the Constitution framed there
is section having the issue whether
negroes shall be permitted to hold Of
fee to be decided by the Legislature.
This, il is claimed, will virtually eN-
clude all negroes from Office, and put
the whole power in the hands of the
white men, unless the former make
contest at the polls in an open aud
determined manner. This they are
urged to do by the men who are
manipulating the Loyal Leagues,
and as result one portion of
the negroes are denouncing the Radi.
calls as cheats and the worst enemies OF
their race. At the next election in
Georgia this fire will blaze forth in all
its fury, and the result may be total
destruction of the "loyal ring" which
now runs the political machine in that
State. The party in power is acting in
such a manner as TO destroy all hopes
of the negroes in the future, and that
fact is beginning to be acknowledged
by the more intelligent black men,
North and South. Now their votes are
needed, and they are despatched with
uudeserved praise; but when power is
again lodged in the hands of the despots
and usurpers congregated at Washing
tor, the negro will be left to manage
his own case. If the white Radicals
of Georgia have cheated their black
allies at this early stage ef the
political campaign, what may not be
expected when a differeLt state of af'
fairs existsf The truth is the dominant
faction keep faith with no one. They
cheat, deceive and falsify for the pur,
pose of holding power, or gaining a
point. 1t is the negroes Of Georgia to-
day; ID will be the white men Of the
| North tomorrow. The "Rump" will
not hesitate to disfranchise white men
whenever such a course is necessary
With them the ballet is only looked upon
as means of perpetuating their politi'
cal authority, and hence the negro is
used or cast aside as circumstances
NAV require. This case in Georgia ex'
hibits the real meaning of the negro
movement of the Radical party, and
should awaken public attention to the
dangerous tendencies of that faction

y NEW WAY TO GROW POTATOES.-
The Louisville Democrat has made n
rather important discovery, which we
give as follows:
Irish potatoes in great quantities can
be grown by any one having four by
eight feet of spare ground in their back
yard. The process is simple. Procure
u crate, such as china ware is imported
in, and place in the bottom about six
inches of straw, then more potatoes,
and so on, until the crate is full Wet
the contents of the crate thoroughly,
and every evening afterward throw a
bucket full of water over the top surface
The potatoes will grow and produce
abundantly. When they are large
enough to be eaten they can be easily
drawn out and will be found to be per-
fectly white with very thin skin. The
writer of this article has seen them cul-
tivated successfully on board an ocean
steamer.
