Benevolenco.

AT missionary meeting among the ne
groes In the West Indies, it is related these
resolutions were adopted:
II. We win all give something"
~, We will al give according to our
80 We will give willingly
At the close of this meeting leading
negro took lis seat at the table, with pen
and Ink, to put down what each came to
contribute. Many advanced to the table
and handed in their contributions-some
more and some less. Among the contribu-
tors was an old negro, who was very rich,
almost as rich as the rest united. He
threw down small silver coin. "Take dat
back again, said the chairman of the
meeting. "Dat may be 'cording to de fust
resolution, but not 'cording to de second. -
The rich man accordingly took it up and
hobbled back to his seat much enraged.
One after another came forward, and all
giving more than himself, he was ashamed,
and again threw piece of money on the
table, saying:
"Dar-take dat! !"
1t was valuable piece of gold, but it was
given so ill-temperedly that the chairman
answered:
mo, sir, dat won't do. Dat NAV be
'cording to de fust and second resolutions,
but not 'cording to de third. y
He was obliged to take it up again.
Still angry with himself, he sat a long
time, until nearly all were gone; he then
advanced to the table, and with a smile on
his countenance, laid down larger sum OF
money.
Oar, now, berry well,' said the presid>
ing negro, dat will do; dat am 'cording
| to all de resolutions. /"
Reader, this simple narrative contains in
a nutshell the whole formula of bcneyo.
lence. The first duty is to give; the sec.
| ond is to give according to your ability, and
the third, which is equal to all, to give
willingly. Copied from an old London
Paper.

Mutual dislike

An ill-natured fellow quarreled with his
sweetheart on the day they were to be
married. After the ceremony had begun
he was asked:
DO you take this woman to be your
welded vile p etc.
He replied, "Not'
IVY hat is the reason?" asked the minis.
ter.
'Ive taken dislike to her, and that
enough, was the suriy reply
The parties retired-the bride in tears,
aud, after much persuasion, tie groom was
induced to have the marriage proceed. Ii
was now the lady's turn, and when the
minister asked the all important question
MOI she said resolutely, 'I've taken
dislike to him.
The groom admiring her spunk, made
the matter up with her as soon as possible
and third time presented themselves be.
tore the minister, who began the ceremony
by asking the usual questions which were
satisfactorily answered this time. But to
the establishment of the party, the minister
continued:
well, I'm glad to hear that you are
willing to take each other for husband and
wife, tor it's good thing to be of a tor
giving temper. You can 60 now and get
married where you will will not tie the
knot, tor have taken dislike to both of
you"

BEFORE THE CONVENTION AND AFTER,
The following paragraph is from the Chi
cago Tribune before the Chicago conyen-
ton:
" Republicans, in all the States, had
better make up their minds at once that
there cannot be two policies in the party at
once-one for the North and one for the
South We cannot give the ignorant mill
cons of freedmen in the rebel States the
ballot, and at the same time refuse it to
the educated thousands in the North. II
we attempt such jugglery we shall find out
that we have not cheated the negro, but
ourselves.
The following is from the platform:
- The guaranty by Congress of equal
suffrage to all loyal men at the South was
demanded by every consideration of public
safety, of gratitude, and of justice, ana
must be maintained; while the question Of
outrage in ALI the loyal States properly
belongs to the people of those States.
The Tribune now enthusiastically en-.
dorses every plank in the platform.

We learn from the Milwaukee Neaos that
a convention will be called a few days
hence for the election of delegation OF
Wisconsin soldiers and sailors Of the war
to attend the approaching National Con-
vention of Soldiers and sailors in New
York. The New York World says: Zone
of the most imposing demonstrations of the
week of the convention, will be the gather
ing of the soldiers and sailors. Unlike the
assembIage of that kind in Chicago, it will
not be made up of quartermasters, suffers,
and camp followers, but of the fighting
men of the army, FROM the General down
to the private soldier. From present indi-
cations there will be fully twenty thousand
Of these men here, and they are coming
not to urge the claims of any particular
candidate, but to prove tc the world that
the soldiers do not sustain General GRANT,

of the revolutionists, and that the gather.
ing at Chicago, under the name of the SOL
diers, did not represent the fighting men of
the army. The Cooper Institute has al
ready been chartered to hold their meet
ings in, and house in University place
has been hired for the headquarters OF the
managers. The latter place will be taken
possession of early next week and occupied
until after the convention adjourns.

DEATH TO THE Potato BUGs.-Dr. d.
P. KEEN, of Attica, Ind, says he has
driven every bug from his pstato patch by
pouring Stacked lime over the vines, which,
only few days since, were totally covered
with them. The doctor says the bugs will
all leave within two days after this is dons.
He thinks, instead of injuring the potatoes,
the lime benefits them.

hA- The Milwaukee Wisconsin says that
on Saturday morning gentleman living in
the Fourth ward found that during the
night some fellow who had no business
there had been through his house promis>
but nothing was taken. The evident cause
was explained, on the fly leaf of hands
some book lying on the centre table-the
writing being not in accordance with Spen-
GERS teachings. 1t was finally made out to
read as follows:
You Mister--hev ben all thru yer huse but

Our Future Hone.

When we speak of a restoration of all
our rights under the Constitution, except
slavery, some of our people smile, and
think we are uver-sanguine. 1t is scme
consolation to know that we are not by
any means alone. Read what the Hon.
MIR. Brooks of New York said few days
ago in speech delivered by him in the
u. S. House of Representatives:
owe intend to undo what has been
done by this Congress-, and we shall soon
or or later, have the power within the
walls of the House to undo it all. Phese
proceedings in Ohio and New Jersey are
but the beginning Of the revolution
has already made its appearance else

where; and prerogatives, and powers
which the majority in this House is now
assuming in the most revolutionary man
ner we intend to make Use of to undo all
these revolutionary and violent proceed
ings. So osthe honorable gentleman from
Massachusetts might as we'll make up his
mind to see the beginning of this great
reactionary movement. We do not intend
to deprive the negroes of the South of
their liberty. We intend to allow them
five-ffths representation, not three.titths
one, which the negroes i'll the North are
having. But we do not intend 20 allow,
so far as we can help it, the people OF the
North to be brought into negro co-part
nership in government on the floor of this
House, or to be ruled by black majorities,
by peterborough negro constituencies in.
the South.
We do not intend to be ruled by any
such government as that, and all the pro-
cesses OF legislation by which that has
been reached, or is to be reached
Through State Legislatures, as in Ohio;
through State action, as iu New Jersey;
through $4,000 popular majority in my
own State, to be increased next year to
100000. Ifthis House goes on with those
proceedings, we intend to undo them all.
1 Irepeat, that everything which has been
done is to be undone. The voice of the
people is no longer heard iii whispers, but
in.the loud roar of the whirwind. coming
from all parts of the country; and it will
sooner or later unseat large majority of
those who-now constitute the majority on
this floor, putting in their places tie De-
mocracy of the country. II the statistics
of elections are examined even now, it
will be fonnd that large majority of
members on this side of the House hold
their seats here and vote here on these
bills who no longer represent their con-
stituents, but are acting in utter defiance
of the people who sent them here"
