of protracted drouth in that region and other por

encouraging. Cotton has not suffered yet, and
the crop, thus far, gives promise of fine yield.

"That'S KOW!'

After a great snow-storm, little fel-
low began to shovel a path through q
large snow-bank before his grandmoth-
er's door. He had nothing but a small
shovel to work with.
allow do you expect to get through
that drift" asked a man passing along.
"By keeping at it," said the boy
cheerfully; "that's how"
That is the secret of mastering almost
every difficulty under the sun. If a
hard task is before you, stick to it. Do
not keep thinking how large or hard it
is; but go at it, and little by little it will
grow smaller and smaller, until it is
done.
If a hard lesson is to be learned, do
not spend a moment in fretting; donot
lose a breath in saying, 81 can't" or
II do not see how" but go at it and
keep at it. Study. That is the only
way to conquer it.
If fault is to be cured, or a bad hab-
it broken up, it cannot be done by
merely being sorry, or only trying a
little. You must keep fighting it, and
not give up fighting until it is got rid of.
If you have entered your Masters
service, and are trying to be good and dc
good, you will sometimes find hills Of
difficulty in the way. Things will often
look discouraging, and you will not
seem to make any progress at all; but
keep at it. Never forget 'thatG
how"

right has been enjoyed by people, and
that right taken away from them.
Ballots have been placed in the hands
10000 of free people never to be
taken away without their consent.
am told that the negro proposes to be
the governing race. If they saw their
duty to their God, to themselves, and
to their country when slaves, not to in
stitute the war of races when they had
only the wives and children OF their
masters to contend with, will they now,
as freemen bring on war Of races,
with the ballot in their hand and with
every hope Of the future looming up
before theml l say here that ignorant
loyalty is beetr than learned rebellion.
We are told that there is going to be a
war in South Carolina that the negroes
are going to rise. Why they are on
top now. Laughter. Superior in
numbers and intelligence, and equal in
right, they are on the side of God and
God is on the side of the right. There
is no fear of rising; no danger Of a
war the men of the South have had
enough of that, and their Northern
allies have a constitutional objection to
fighting anywhere. Laughter. The
war of races is an impossibility; it will
never be attempted unless war is made
upon them. and in that case, let those
who bring it about take care. / am
told he don't know how to vote. Yet
he votes as ] would were / in his place.
| was told he would vote as his master
did 1t turns out that he votes just as
his master don't want him to. If the
white man votes as the negro votes
there will be no trouble, for they always
vote on the side of loyalty. Do not
let any man say that l have exalted the
colored man above the white man. /
only believe the black loyal man is
better than the white rebel, and / would
sooner trust an ignorant friend than a
learned enemy.
1t is said that all men are born equal.
This requires an explanation, and the
only man l ever heard explain it prop
erly was the illustrious Illinois states
man, Abraham Lincoln. His expla-
nation was, every man has the right
to be the equal of every other man if
he can, and any law which prevents that
right is unjust, tyrannical, and ought
to be overthrown." 1t then follows as
a logical necessity that he has a right
of the equality of power to protect that
right.
/ doubt whether confscation wSuld
be desirable 1t does not seem to be a
good thing to give away land thing
that does not cost anything is generally
valueless. If the United States Gov
ernment were to-day to commence con-
fscation it would undoubtedly lead to
mischief, and to the detriment of the
great West.
Now, my friends, what you ask is
only equality of right, and, as you
know which side to fight on, and which
side to vote on, ask of you to give all
obedience to the law and the represent
atives in Congress will see that you
have fair play.
The speaker retired amid loud ap-
plause, and after the recitation of a
poem, by Lewis Bell, of California, the
meeting adjourned.

lnever see cnDybody yet but what
despised bed bugs. They are the mean
est NV aul crawling, creeping, hopping,
or biteing things.
They dassent tackle a man bi dalite,
but sneak in, after dark, and chaw him
while he IL fast asleep.
A musketo will fight you in broad da-
lite, at short range, and give you a
chance tew knock in his sides-the flea
is game bug, and will make dash at
you even in Broadway-but the bed
bugg is garroter, who waits till you
strip, and then picks out mellow place
to eat you.
If was in the habit ov swearing I
wouldn't hesitate tew damn bed bugg
right tew his face
Bed buggs are uncommon smart in
a small way; one pair of them will stock
hair mattress in weeks with buggs
enuf tew last small family a whole
year.
1t don't do emmy good to pray when
bed buggs are in season. the only way
to git rid ov them is tew pile up the
whole bed in acquafOrtis, and then
heave it away and buy new one.
Bed buggs, when they have grone
aul they intend to, are about the size of
bluejay's eye and hav a brown COM
plexion, and when they start out to gar
rote are az thin az grease spot, but
when they git thru garroting they are
swelled up like blister.
1t takes them three days TO get the
swelling out ov them.
If bed buggs have emmy destiny to
FIJI, it must be their stummuks, but il
seems tew me that they must hav been
made by acksident, just as slivvers are,
tew stick into somebody,
Ifthey waz got up for some wise pur-
pose, they must hav took the wrong
road, for there kant be emmy wIsdum ia
chawing man aul night long, and rails
ing family, besides, to follow the same
trade.
Ifthere IL sum wisdum, in aul this,
l hope the buggs will chaw them folks
who kan see it, and leave me, because
/ am one ov the hereticks.

OBsERvATIoN.-The practice ofnoting
things and events in their simple exist
ence will gradually accumulate store of
knowledge, from which we may derive
help in every turn of life. 1t is the OBJ
servant man that is the man of resource.
The happiest inventions are the result
of much silent observation. tits indis-
pensable to all whose business tits to
guide or rule their fellows. In the fam
lily it supplies what is most needed to
prevent jars, to ease discomforts, to
remedy mischiefs, to make up for def
ciencies. In society it obviates blum
ders, suggests felicitous improvisions,
steers ones course clear Of sunken rocks,
explains things which might otherwise
appear anomalous, and nips silly suspi-
cions in the bud. To the statesman it
is invaluable; for though there may be
brilliant oratorical power without it, it
is impossible that there can be wise ad-
ministration.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1868-01-16

READING AND WoRKNG.-It is not
by books alone nor by books chiefly
that man becomes in all parts a man.
Study to do faithfully whatsoever
thing in your actual situation, there and
now, you find either expressly or tacit-
ly laid to your charge. That is your
post. Stand to it like a true soldier.
A man perfects himself much more by
work than by reading. They are .
growing kind of men that can wisely
combine the two things,-wissly, val
iantly can do what is laid to their hand
in their present sphere, and prepare
themselves withaI for doing other wider
things, if such be before them. ~

nEMr. Wilberforce relates tbat a

%Mr. Wilberforce relates that at
one time he found himself cbronicled
as est. Wilberforce, in an opposing
journal, and the following given as San
instance of his Pharisaism: "He was
lately seen," says the journal, "walking
up and down in the Bath Pump Room
reading his prayers, like his predecess-
Ors of old, who prayed in the corners
of the streets to be seen of men," Gas
there is generally" says Mr.. Wilber-
force, "some slight circumstance which
perverseness turns into a charge or re-
proach, l began to reflect, and soon
found the occasion of the calumny. 1t
was this: l was walking in the Pump
Room in conversation with a friend; a
passage was quoted from Horace, the
accuracy of which was questioned, and
as had Horace in my pocket, | took
it out and read the words. This was
the plain 'bit of wire which factious
malignity sharpened into pin to piece
my reputation" How many ugly pins
have been manufactured out OF even
smaller bits of wire than that!

PERSUASION BETTER THAN FoRcE.--
Deal gently with those who stray.
Draw them back by love and persuasion.
A kiss is worth thousand kicks. A
kind word is more valuable to the lost
than mine gold. Think of this, and
be on your guard, ye who would chase
to the grave an erring brother. We
must consult the gentlest manner and
softest seasons of address; our advice
must not fall like violent storm, bear
ing down and making those to droop
whom it is meant to cherish and refresh,
1t must descend as the dew upon the
tender herb, or like melting flakes of
snow; the softer it falls the longer it
dwslls upon and the deeper it sinks into
the mind. Ifthers are few who have
the humility to receive advice as they
ought, it is often because there are few
who have the discretion to convey it in
the proper way, and who can qualify
the harshness and bitterness of reproof,
against which human nature is apt to
revolt. To probe the wound to the
bottom, with all the boldness and reso-
luton of a good spiritual surgeon, and
yet with all the delicacy ofa friend, re-
quires a very dexterous and mastery
hand. An affable department and com
placency of behavior will disarm the
most obstinate; whereas if, instead Of
calmly pointing out their mistakes, We
break out into unseemly sallies of pas
sion, we cease to have any influence.

All! ifthere be a weight upon my breast
Some vague impression Of the day foregone-
Scarce knowing what 1t is fly to Thee
And lay II down.
Or If 1t be the heaviness that comes
In token of anticipated i'll,
My bosom takes no heed of what 1t Is,
Since It's Thy will.
For oh! in spite Of past or present care,
Or anything besides how joyfully
Passes that almost solitary hour,
My God! with Thee!
More tranquil than the stiffness of the night,
More peaceful than the silence of that hour,
More blest than anything my bosom lies
Beneath Thy power.
For what is there on earth that desire,
OF all that it can give or take from me?
Or whom in Heaven doth my spirit seek,
Oh, God! but Thee?

OhOus ouFlOO' WI ny, IL lOllOW my
nose," said he, "it's fact, as the fellow
said, that I'll 'be sure to 60 right, and
by and by, I'll be rising man. When
body's nose sticks up, it's a good
thing to follow it."
Many years afterward, a stranger was
entertaining the passengers in a Car by
telling them ofa lad he once knew who
was grossly insulted by some boys for
having a stick-up nose.
"One day." said he, "after receiving
two shillings (Which he has kept to this
day. for doing a favor for young lady,
he passed group of boys, who stood
on the corner, and they repeated the
insulting words they had spoken only
few minutes before, and one of them
the worst of the group-called out:
Little chap little chap! follow your
nose and you will be sure to go right,
for it sticks up as high as church stee-
ple.' Well, the insulted boy was very
angry at first, but he soon began to
think seriously Of following his nose,
and from that time forward he did it.
And it made him prosperous man,
worth fifty thousand dollars, and, what's
better, good man, first and foremost
in every good work"
Al! the passengers were very much
interested, one in particular, who said:
"Why, where did you get that story7
I've heard it before. What was the
boys name2"
Harry McAlister, replied the stran-
ger, and he added, as he. crossed his
torefnger over his nose, ''this is the
nose that Harry McAiister followed" +"
There was quite an excitement in the
car, and general burst of laughter as
Mr.. McAlister finished his story.
Soon afterward, as he and a dozen
others were leaving the cars, the man
who had been more interested than all
the rest, logged his elbow, and whisper
ed; "Confound it all, if my name amt
Jimmey Snod, but don't you tell any
body as you live. I've often wished l
could see you somewhere in the world
and beg your pardon, and now, as this
may be my last chance, beg your par
don thousand times"
Taken by surprise, and unable to
control himself, Mr.. McAlister broke
out, as he grasped the mans hand and
gave it a hearty shaking: "Why, bless
your heart, Jimmy Snod, l owe you an
everlasting debt of gratitude-you've
been the making Of me, don't you know
it7"
"Wasn't l a saucy, insulting young
ster?" replied the man.
"Well, no matter about that an
swered Mr. McAlister, as they walked
on together
"Ah, it's a great deal of matter, sir.
how often I've wondered what had be-
come of the boy whose nose l so insult
ed"
"But it was only my nose, said Mr.
McAlister, wishing to relieve the man.
"Well, sir" wound up Mr.. Snod, As
be and Mr.. McAlister parted, "that de-
testable performance Of mine, and the
sequel (meeting you after so many years
and learning what my words accom-
plished), have taught me one thing, and
that is this, that the great God can bring
untold good out of evil, and use the
words that sting and pain boy, to
help him onward and upward in the
world. l beg your pardon again
