THE VICTIM.
BY ALFRED TENNYsoN, POET LAUREATE
From Good Words of january
A plague upon the people fell, &
A iaIiiine after laid them low, s,s ~
Then thiopc and byre arose in fire,
For on them brake the sudden foe;
So thick they died the people cried
1.-THE gods are moved against the land.
The priest in horror about his altar
To Thor and Odin lifted II hand"
Help us from famine
And plague and strife!
What would you have ofusf
So Human life
Were it our nearest,
Were it our dearest, -
(Answer, o answer)
-1 We give you his life"
But still the foeman spoild and burn'd,
And cattle died, and deer in wood,
And bird in air, and fishes turn'd
And whiten'd all the rolling flood;
And dead men lay all over the way,
Or down in a furrow scathed with flame:
And ever and aye the Priesthood moan'd
Till at last it seemed that an answer came:
--. THE King is happy
In child and vile;
-.. Take you his nearest.
Take you his dearest,
Give us life"
The Priest went out by heath and hill,
The King was hunting in the wild;
They found the mother sitting still;
She cast her arms about the child.
The child was only eight summers old,
His beauty still with his years increased,
He f,oo ,,,os ru66,- hic hair crnl6
He seem'd victim due to the Priest.
The Priest exulted,
And cried with Joy,
Here is his nearest,
Here is his dearest.
We take the boy
The King returned from out the wild,
He bore but little game in hand;
The mother said, "They have got the child
To spill his blood and heal the land:
The land is sick, the people diseased,
And blight and famine on all the lea:
The holy Gods, they must be appeased,
So pray you tell the truth to Inc.
They have taken our son,
They will have his life,
Is he your nearest
Is he your dearest

OH, the wife 2"

The King bent low with hand on brow,
He stayd his arms upon his knee;
20 wife. what use TO answer now?
For now the Priest has judged for me-"
The King was shaken with holy fear;
"The Gods" he said, would have chosen
well;
Yet both are near, and both are dear,
And which the dearest cannot tell ~
But the Priest was happy,
His victim won.
I'VE have his nearest,
We have his dearest
His only son -

This subject ought to claim the careful
consideration of our citizens. Our beloved
country is in distress; our people are in con-
sternation and know not what to do. They
invite counsel and encouragement as to the
future. While we frankly admit the pros
pect is forbidding, yet we ought not to des-
pair, but stimulate our manhood to meet the
crisis with fortitude. and prepare and re-
solve, with the blessing of Providence, to
produce good crop in the coming year

General Grants Amendments.

The course that General Grant will
probably pursue begins to be talked
about even now. For instance, the
following by the Washington CORES
pendent of the New York ComD,ey-
ciai:
"Those who are best acquainted
with General Grant have high hopes
that he will regenerate and reform
the civil services OF the country by
appointing good and well qualified
men to office, rather than yenal mend
icants, who claim places as rewards
for their mercenary service. His
selections for military service show
his knowledge of character, and his
Opposition Lu corruption and incom-
potency. The s.Bread-and.Bu Butter
Brigade" many of whom are of that
of soldiers with whom
Jack Falstaff swOre that he would
not march through Coventry, already
see the handwriting on the wall.
Some, like the chameleon, are chang
ing their colors, and others are on
the fence, contributing literally to
both Republican and Democratic
funds. But their race will soon be
run, and President Grant will remove
them to make way for a more respec-
table class of Federal officials.

Prescription in Virgins.

The Concord N. III. } Monitorpub-
fishes the following letter, written by
a gentleman in Charlottesville, Va,
and addressed to ]. H. Ella, OF Con-
cord, under date of September 81:
My church has nearly forsaken me,
though / have been one of its active
members thirty years. My Bible
class discharged me as its teacher,
after teaching it for more than TWEEN
ty years. The church choir thought
my room better than my company.
The friends of temperance excluded
me. They took my sign down and
destroyed it. Three men came to
ny house. at midnight, and one Of
them gave me notice to leave the
own in five days or abide the conse-
luences. No white man buys any
hing from my store, though many
would but they were afraid to be seen
,ome into it, so that my business
was almost gone down. One of the
Conservative gentlemen Of our town,
in making a speech the other day.
said all that 90 with Thomson ought
to be whipped out Of town.
DIR. Thomly, who came to this
town since The war, from the North,
bought property in town, and has
been improving it for some time and
has spent considerable money here,
sad by the time he gets through i'm
proving his purchase he will have
spent fifteen thousand dollars. He
is very useful man in town, but he
is called a Yankee and that kills
all. He was brutally assaulted few
days ago on Main street by rebel,
and If it had not been for an officer OF
the peace who was near, he would per-
haps have come off badly, for all the
rebels around stood off, and some
remarked that he was carpet-bag
ger, let him get good beating. He
takes no part in politics, yet you
might see ON his nice painted fente
these words: '.Dr. Thomly, a damn
ed Radical hell cat" Since that the
Doctor has offered his property for
sale. He told me he was very sorry
he had bought property here. Not
only he, but any other man from tie
North, will regret locating in Virgin
Ia unless Grant is elected. If Sey-
mour be elected, no Yankee can live
in Virginia. Ii any should try it, he
NAV he a sort of newer of wood |
and drawer of water, but never can
he expect to have any respectable
associations. All persons who hire
colored labor are called to meet here,
and pass resolutions that they win |
hire no colored person who will not
bind himself to vote for the Demo-
cratic candidates. l have sometimes
spoken to men on the street, and they
would stop and request me not TO
speak to them any more; and when
[ would ask the reason, they would
give none, but warned me against it.
So, you may judge how trying it is,
whenI am the only white man in the
town that is fully Republican, or
openly SO, though many are going to
vote our ticket.

Mn SPEAKER: I have not much
tn saw to you on this subject. l
have been a slave for fifty five years,
and had no chance to get learning, 30
could not say much any Nsy: but l
can say that / have tried to behave
myself and live like man since have
been here. If hsve tailed tn do so,
it is because / am ignorant, and have
been made so by the very men who
are seeking to putus out of our seats;
and hope, if members on the other
side of the House turn me out, they
will give me credit for that much
sense any way. But, MIR. Speaker,
the gentleman from Floyd said that
the negro was inferior to the white
man. l would like to know if his
forefathers had been kept in slavery
two hundred years, and he had been
kept in slavery fifty five years, with
The lash over his back all the time,
and whipped if he attempted to learn
his A B C, how much better would
he be than me to day2 When he
gets on the floor again would
like to have him give his views on
this point. Mr.. Speaker, the gentle.
man from Floyd made some very
nice rails, but they were very old
and he laid up his fence crooked.
The honorable gentleman from
Richmond County, in his speech,
made new rails. laid his fence so
straight and high that the gentlemen
from Floyd County can't get over
that is my opinion. We Republicans
don't believe in old things. We be-
lieve in going ahead-not back and
i don't believe we can be driven
back either. We are just getting a
little taste Of learning, and believe IN
going ahead or having our children.
] will not say any more about that,
Mr. Speaker. The gentleman had a
good deal to say about social equality
mixing up of the races-amalgama-
ton, / believe he called it. Now,
sir, We colored men don't want To
mix up with the white men we all
like our own color best, and if these
men that talk SO much about the in
feriorlty of the race, and of mixing
up with the "nigger," will let our col, |
ored women alone, we won't have 40
many ring-streaked and speckled
people among us. We want the
white men to mind their own bust
ness, and not come sreaking around
our women at night, or any other
time, for unlawful purposes. Now,
Mr.. Speaker, we are a law-abid
ing people, and if amt here accord
ing to law / want to know it right
away, SO as to 60 home and 90 to
work. l thsnk the House or hearing
me. / havn't anything more to say.

SPAIN

The first act of the revolution in
Spain has been completed. The Queen
is refugee in France, and the revo-
tutionary Junta, or Convention, has
control of the kingdom. Moreover,
it seems to possess the confidence OF
the people. The merchants of An
dalusia have offered it generous
loan, and when capitalists, always
conservative and timid, favor cause,
lit may be considered fairly establish
cd.
Thus far the rebels-if we NAV use
so invidious n wOr.i-are acting har
moniously. Elections for the choice
OF permanent Junta are going on
quietly, and seoa new government
will be organized.
Tae Queen, it is reported, has car
rie.f away %, ,O0O, 900 reals, nearly So
,099, 600 in gold, besides the crown

of starvation. Her movements are.
however, of little consequence, un.

leon. The next act.. t..act:oi the drama

"My life has been busy and anx-
ious, but not joyless. Whether it
shall be prolonged few or more years,

tunities Tor good not wholly unim-

ed to see the end of giant wrongs,
which l once deemed inyincible in

ed to root out some of the most fa-
grant and pervading evils that yet
remain. / realize that each genera
ton is destined to confront new and
peculiar perils--to wrestle with temp
talions and seductions unknown to
its predecessors; yet l trust that
progress is general law ofour being,
and that the ills and woes of the iu
ture shall be less crushing than those
of the bloody and hateful past. So,
looking calmly, yet humble for that
close of my mortal career which can
not be far distant, l reverently thank

merit which does not exclude hope,
