ROMPING WITH A GIaL.

'Of all the love vouchsafed to man
In iies tempestuous whirl.
There's naught approaches Heaven 50 near
As rompiDg with girl;
A frank, good-natured, honest girl;
A feeling, flirting, flashing. doting,
Smiling, smacking, jolly, Joking,
Jaunty, joyial, po ser-poking,
Dear little darling with red hat and snow
white feather, who snuggles right "
against your waistcoai, and lets you as
sist in holding her muf,
Who laughs at you mouth of power.
A dear little duck ola girl,
Pile up your wealth as mountain high,
You speering, scofilng churl,
III laugh as go dashing Ivy
With my buxom bouncing girl:
The brightest, dearest, sweetest girl
The trimcst, gayest, neatest girl
The funniest, fushest, frnnkest ,fairest
Roundest, ripest, rogushest. rarest,
Spunkiest, spiciest, squirmiest, square
Best of girla with dropping lashes,
Half concealed amorous lushes;
Just the girl for chap like me
To court, and love, and marry, you see
With rosy cheeks and clustering curs,
The sweetest and the hest of girls

THE ADMISSION OF ALABAMA.

The people ofAlabama rebelled, they
raised large armies-they made war
they contendetl for years for the privi-
lege Of destroying the the Union
they were defeated. They were rebels
then, for assailing the national author
ity. What are they now? If we
keep Alabama out Of the Union, we
will only ir-itatc long fostering
wound, and adjourn reconstruction.
We make necessary standing armies
and armed occupation. This is i'm
posed upon us in defiance Of national
authority, and in spite of the protests
of the loyal men. In the large and
civil sense of the word these men are
not "peoplc," and they have no right
to bo so considered. They are no
more "people" than the inmates Of
sing Sing, orthe conviction BlackwelPs
Island, or body of foreigners passing
through our States. They are men
who have committed a crime, and who
are released from its consequences on
ly by promising obedience TO the laws
and an acquiescence in all the drties
Of citizenship. But to say that they
have the right to block the wheels Of
Government, and delay reconstruction
and impose more burdens upon us, to
crafty their malignity, is as mad as it
would for the ticket-ofleave men in
England toenter Parliament and claim
to make laws for the nation.
But the fault is ours, we are told !
Way did we give them the power to
block the wheels of Government ?
We grant that. We made mistake.
We wore generous to those people for
their own sakes. They reply by nm
effort to inhct anarchy upon alabama.
Such mistakes are frequently made,
but in this case we accept the rebukc
and shall see that it docs not occur
again. We can very we'll postpone
onr generosity until these people show
a disposition to accept it. We have
no notion of crowding our courtesies
where they are despised. We hoped
to have them in the Union, and in
few years to see every American, Reb-
ell or not. in the full exercise of citizen
ship. We can afford to wait if they
can. We have opened the door.
They stand in the way and keep out
those who wish to enter. Our first
duty is to admit the loyal people. That
done we can rest easy. When the
Rebels finally desire to come in they
may knock at the door, and wait until
VIC are ready to open it.-Tribune.

They have queer ways of settling
bills, and sometimes settling creditors,
too in some parts of theSouth. A DR..
Skinner presented his bill to Mr..
Quick residing in Galveston, Texas.
The DR.. had attended Quick during
a recent attack of yellow fever and
brought him safely through, and for
these services the bill was rendered.
Quick objected, and that too with .
huge knife. Skinner barely escaped
whole to the nearest police Office
where he succeeded in having tho
pugilistic and war-like Quick arrest
ed and put under bonds to keep the
Peace.

Road The Paper.

The following, with one word cham
gcd, is attributed to Gen. jackson,
and is as applicable now as when II
was uttered: "The Republican who
reads his county paper regularly, is
bullet proof against the falsehoods Of
the enemy. The weekly arrival Of
his paper is like the visit Of a commit
tee man to warn him of what is going
on, and to prepare him for election
day. 1t posts not only himself in
what's new and important, but it ena-
bles him to post others also, who
look to him for counsel and instruo-
ton.

THE BOYS an BLUE.
Soldiers and Sailors National Conveu
tlon.

At an adjourned conference OF
Union Soldiers and Sailors, held, in
pursuance to published call, at Wash
ington, d. c., on Wednesday, January
8, 1868, it was unanimously resolved
to hold a National Convention Of
Union Soldiers..and Sailors, at Chicago,
Illinois, on Tuesday, May 18th, 1868,
for the consideration of national ques-
tions, with the paramount object OF
uniting and consolidating the loyal
element ofthe country for the approach
ing contest with its enemies, and il
deemed advisable to nominate or re-
commend candidates for the Presiden-
cy and Vice Presidency Of the United
States.
Each State shall be entitled to twen-
ty delegates at large, and twenty dele
gates for each Congressional district.
Territories and the District Of Colum-
bia will be entitledto twenty delegates
each.
The disordered state of public af-
fairs the restoration of rebels to
power the designing efforts to repu-
diate our national obligations the
failure throughout the country to re-
cognize tn just claims Of the veterans
of the war these coupled with the de-
sire to perpetuatc the fundamental
principles OF our Government, are
deemed sufficient reasons that the men
who crushed rebellion should counsel
such measures as shall tend to preserve
and protect the civil and political
rights of all the people.
We, therefore, invite our late COM
rsdes in arms to organize in their
might and to express through their
representatives their condemnation Of
the efforts to make treason, defeated in
the field, triumphant at the ballot
box.
Let US stand shoulder 10 shoulder to
protect the nations honor and main
tain the cardinal principles of our
Government--L;berty Justice and
Equality.
By order of the Conference.

Chairman.

A. T. STEWART, the merchant

him to extremes in threatening to re-
sign If he can in no other way avoid

CsIonel Small Seriously Hart-Miss
Eliza Nestellc Slightly injured.

Eliza Nestellc slightly Injured
The New Philadelphia. (Osio) Adro-
cate says that as the carriage of the Ell
linger & Foote Troape, containing Col
onel Small, Miss Eliza Nestelle and
Commodore Foote, was being driven
around our streets, the ponies became
manageable when in front of the
Quinn House, dashed into the alley,
threw the driver OFF, ran away and up
set the carriage. Colonel Small, one OF
the small men of the troupe, who had
an outside seat upon the rear of the car
riage, was thrown of, striking his head
against stable and very seriously
and dangerously injuring him. Since
that time he has been lying at the Ex-
change Hotel in rather precarious con
dtion. For while compression of the
brain was feared, but at the present
writing the symptoms are favorable for
his recovery. 1t will be some days,
however, before he can be considered
out of danger. The smaller folks, Com
modore Foote and sister, were tumbled
about in the carriage and bumped con-
siderably. The Commodore escaped
without any injury whatever. Miss
Eliza Nestelle' received slight bruise
over the right eye, marring her beauty
somewhat but not iucapacitating her
for duty.

Thsre were not many at Court on Sat

cases to be heard.
George Nichols, colored individual,
was arraigned on the charge of creating
a disturbance and disordorly conduct in
the barber shop under the Mcclure
House. George had been up before the
Court less than a week ago on the lat
ter charge, and was fined five dollars
and costs, but in consequence of repre-
sensations of his good character being
then made to the Judge, his fine was re-
nitted. On this last occasion he made
boast of his powers in the above ton.

clan By causing chair to fly out into
the street, and by making a razor or
two cut didoes in the air. 1t was fright
full. He was fined ten dollars and costs,
and in the absence of that amount he
will be found on the chain gang this
morning.
Daniel o. c. Quinlan was tined ten
dollars and costs for fast driving.

tn. m.R Church Marriage Service.

The IN. *. Churcn WuffiaHS SoTNfeo.
An exchange says it is not generally
known that at the last General Confer
ence the marriage service was altered.
The charge to the parties previously
read, ~ require and charge you both Gas
you shall answer at the dreadful day of
Judgment, when the secrets of all hearts
shall be closed) that, if either of you
know" etc. So in the covenant the
bride promised to "obey" and "serve"
her husband as well as to Glove
honor, and keep him." In the pres
emit ritual both the reference to
the day of Judgment and the brides
vow to obey her husband are wanting.
Instead of "wilt thou obey him, serve
him, love, honor and keep him. as it
has stood for centuries, it now reads,
"wilt thou love, honor and keep him."
the words "obey him, serve him." haV-
ing been expunged. And so also the
words of the bride to the bridegroom,
instead of 81, N, take thee, s, to love,
cherish and obey till death do us part"
as it was up to 1854, it now reads "to
love and to cherish" merely, the 'obey"
having been struck ont. There seems
to be little agitation, mainly on the
part of young husbands, it seems, to
have the emitted words reinserted.

urday and part of Saturday night aiser
the murder, it is said that he kept sing
ing, dancing and swearing in jail, as
though perfectly unconcerned in regard
to the murder. 1t is also said that ne
was drunk, but as for the truth OF TINS
statement we would not vouch, Is IL
should be matter of impossiblity LOT
convict in the penitentiary to get
liquor.
Baldwin is a hard case, and has long
ago been known on the criminal records
Of this State as murderer. 1t will be

vidual who killed Mr.. Mast, OF Ira

was sent to the penitentiary at Rich'
mond for q number of years, but on the
breaking out of the rebellion he was re-
leased from confinement. We think
this last adventure will be sufficient 70
wind up his career for some time.
