A bridal party from Galveston
were passing the draw in the railroad
bridge on the route to Huston, wheu
the fair bride leaned out of the win d.
dow to catch farewell glance of the
Island City. Her affectionate aud
newly made husband, trembling with
anxiety for her safety, teuderly en-
circled her slender waist with his
coat-sleeve, and softly whispered
spray, take care Of yoursclf-don I
fall overheard, darling !" Scarcely
were these words out of his mouth ere
the blushiug young beauty uttered a
faint but audible scream, and sinking
back in the cushioned seat, pressed
her embroidered handkerchief to her
face. "Poor darling is frightened. Z"
"Po or darling" bowed hor head and
would not be consoled. To tell the
truth, she had lost set of new teeth.

A Negro DisCu ssion about Eggs,

In the fairest village of Western
New York, the "cullcd pussens," in
emulation Of their white brethren,
formed debating society for the
purpose ofimproving their minds by
the discussion of instructive and en-
tertaining topics. The deliberations
of tho society were presided over BY
u venerable darkey, who performed
the duties with the utmost dignity
peculiar to his color. The subject
for discussion on the OCCASION of
which We write was, (Which am de
mudder OBJ de chicken-de hen wot
lay dc egg, or de hen wot matches de
chicken" The question was warmly
debated, and many reasons pro and
con. were urged aud combated by the
excited disputants. Those in favor
of the latter proposition were eyi.
IDENTIFY in the majority ,land,the prcsi.
dent made no attempt to conceal
that his sympathies were with the
dominant party. At longth an in-
telligent darkoy arose from tho mi

proposition to this effect; "Spose, +"
said he, "dat you set one dozen duck
eggs under a hen, and dcy hatch,

the force of the argument, but had

Rising from his chair in all the pride

A negro preacher, who like some
other preachers, was in the habit
of using big words, but did not al
ways succeed in getting hold of tn q
right one, made a funny mistake
once. His text was. "Broad is the
road that lcadeth to death, and many
there be who go there but narrow is
the way that lcadoth to life, aud few
there be who take it," "Beloved
brudders, thsr be two roads, ebbery
body goes in one or uddor oh EN- T,
ther's one road and dat am dc broad

in the congregation, "dis nigga cuts

An ugly wound received during

his wife entered my little room in

on condition that the old man should
thenceforth make his homo with

cd his head aud wept, as the young
couple kissed him, thus assuring him
of their complete abnegation Of til,

ORIGIN OF ALMANAcs.-Vestegan
alluding to our ancient Saxon ances-
tors, says, "They used to engrave up.
on certain squared sticks, about a
foot in length, the course of the
whole year, whereby they could al
ways certainly tell when the new
moons, the full moons, aud the
change should happen, as also their
festival days; and such carved
stick they called an alsoond aght-
that is to say, 'al-mon-heed' d'-to-wit,
the regard or observation of the
moons; aud hence is derived the
name of almanac" After the inven-
tion Of printing, almanacs became
generally in use. The first recorded
account in England Of an almanac i,
in the Year Book of Henry VII.

OLD MEMORIES.

The moss was springing at my fect,
Tho branches budding overhead,
The brookwas puriing, low and swoos,
stopped to list to what il said.
For, ah il murmured in my ears
Full many word Of import deep,
That brought me back from early years
Memories that made me pause and weep.
It stirred Oblivion in my heart.
Aud bursting from its long confnc,
Memory came for;h to do her part
In torturng this poor heart ofmlne.
II brought me shining locks and fair,
Brown locks and raven, each gcm
Each found u tongue, and through the air
Long silent voices brcathci again.
All springmg moss and bursting bud,
TWIN moss and bud ofthat long May,
When hand in hand through this old wood
We wandered culling al the day,
The woodland aowers which swiftly grew
To graceful garland- skillful made,
And bending DER the brook to view
Our laurcls, sighed that they must fade.
An murmuring stream, thy voice was thci
The sweetest music to my ears;
Why artthou singing DER again
The melody Of other yearsi
Or u thou wilt, thy sad refrain
Oh give me from thy mirror face
The loved oncs' features back again,
Reflected lhoro in othor days.

SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED

When a Democrat commences whining
about oppressive taxation, just ask him
who inaugurated and fought the war which
made those taxes necessary.
When they pirate of their devotion to the
Constitution, ask them who fought four
years to destroy that instrument and set
up the bastard Montgomery concern in Its
place.
When they talk Of theirloyalty, ask them
who nominated and voted for banished
traitor for Governor Of Ohio.
When they profess to be in favor Of a
restoration Of the Union, ask them who has
steadily voted against the re-admissiou Of
the revolted States
When they claim to be in favor Of peace
and prosperity, ask them who proposes to
oyeIturn the reconstructed State Govern
ments and inaugurate another war
When they claim that seymour was loyal
during the war, ask them who made it nee
essary to withdraw an army from the front
to suppress his riots in the rear
When they say that Grant is no statesman,
ask them how it is that IN all the important
positions be has held, be has never made a
mistake
When they say be is not good soldier,
ask them how it was that he so thoroughly
cleaned out Lee, johnson, and all the
other distinguished Democrats.

THE coppERHEAo POLICY.


A few Illustrations viii serve to exhibit to
the comuonest understanding the knavery
of the Copperhcad doctrine relative TO Gov
ernment Bonds
"A man buys 200 barrels Of pork and
gives bis note for $4,000. When it is due
he tenders tue pork instead of the pay on
the plea that this is the consideration upon
which the note was i sued. That would be
ridiculous; but the plea made in behalf Of
greeubacEs is worse, siuce they have no in-
trinsic value whatever
"A borrower obtains accommodation
among his friends by the issue Of memoran-
DUN checks. Finding that these viii no
longer circulate at par be offers to receive
them in exchange for his notes bearing in,
terest, and payable at his option in not less
than FIVE nor more than twenty years. The
creditors consent and the exchange is effec.
ted.-After the five years have expired he
finds the interest burdensome, and he pro
poses to hand back to the holders the origi-
nal checks, aud cancel the bonds And be
justifes himself on the ground that allthey
paid for the notes wasin these memorandum
promises, and they ought not to complain il
they get back what they gave "
