Couldn't be Scared.

The Grand Traverse (Mich.) Herald
tells of a Democrat who couldn't be
scared by "nigger :"
In one of the new townships of this
county lives man who has small in
fusion of African blood, not enough,
however. to debar him from the privi-
leges of an elector. In the same town
lives Democrat who felt, on the MORN
ing of election day, that on him rested
the responsibility of preventing this
"American citizen of African descent"
from polluting the ballot box with a
nigger vote.
Going early to the polls, our Demo
cratic guardian of the purity Of the elec-
tions kept sharp lookout for the color
ed voter. AS soon as the latter arrived,
the Democrat, whom we shall call A.,
and who was already for the emergency,
flew into fearful passion: hastily pull
ed off his coat and swore with the big
gest kind of Democratic oaths, that no
nigger should vote in that town that
day without threshing.
"Perhaps," said our African citizen,
S., "you mean those remarks to apply
to me-"
eyes, 1 do," said A., with bigger
oaths than before.
"Well, said Mr.. S., l suppose I have
some African blood in my veins, but
have 20 rebel blood; while l happen to
know that you are a rebel, and SO was
your fat.-er before you"
Quick as lightning our irete Demo
crat jumped square over the stove and
made for S. with such terrific impetu-
osity that the spectators supposed i'm
mediate annihilation would be the re-
suit. But the Democrat, even then.
was not neglectful that "discretion is
the better part of valor," and so he stop
| ped just at a respectful distance from
s., and Aourishing huge pair of fists,
he swore by all the Democratic saints
that ono nigger could scare him-no,
never! never !"
Having sworn to this till he was al
most convinced of its truth, he gradu-
ally subsided, still, however, keeping
his coat off to be ready for emergencies
Order being restored, s. went to the
polls, was challenged, took the requisite
oath and deposited his ballot.
Sand now,' said he, turning to the
Democrat that "couldu't be frightened
by niger" 81 have performed the
duty for which I came here; and now
l tell you, sir, that if you don't imme-
diately put on your coat and behave
yourself during the rest of the day, I'll

pened? The Democrat that "couldn I
be scared by nigger," quietly put on
his coat, sluuk into corner and kept
as quiet as mouse all day.

WHEN WIVES FADE-Women do
not lose spirit upon the first intimation
of cooling fervor on the part of those
who hold their destinies. So long as
the wife believes in the good faith and
sincerity of her husband, she believes
in her own power, by increased watch
fulness in love and duty, to restore in
him that ardor which her ignorance or
folly has tempted; and so long as hope
lives the heart does not break. But it
is when she herself has lost confidence
in him as truthful, generous, tender
and noble, considerate of her feelings
and interests-when she no longer rev.
ereuces him as her friend and protector,
but regards him merely as her provider
possibly her enemy, asserting the
prerogative of husband and place OF
friend when she holds. even his ca.
resses in contempt, preferring bis cool
ness rather than his kisses, and likes
his presence less than his place, that
the wife's life begins to fade She may
not herself be conscious that it is not
the absence of his affection but her own
absence of faith which crushes her but
sounded to the depths, the cause of
nine tenths of the white, despairing
faces we see among wives would be
found to be in the quiet coldness and
distrust of their own hearts. Women
want constancy with kindness, and it is
strange how the gravest philosophers
are sometimes the most unreasonable
idiots in love. Let those husbands who
consider wistfully the blooming faces
and vivacious habits of married ladies,
nobler mems wives, rueing the roses and
smooth brows that have withered in
their own rude keeping. scrutinize
themselves vigilantly and question, who,
of the delicate could preserve more Of
themselves so fostered. And let them
secure cheerful companions aud happy
homes by virtue Of making their vows
good rather than by looking to the
chances of divorce, ard fresh mar.
riage, which must be sin and can end
in nothing but misery.-Bishop Lon

ADVANTAGES OF ASSOCIATION BE-
TWEEN THE SExEs.-What makes those
men who associate habitually with wo-
men superior to others? What makes
that woman who is accustomed to aud
at ease in the company of men superior
to her sex in general? Solely because
she is in the habit of free, graceful
and continual conversation with the
other sex. Women in this way lose
their frivolity, their faculties awaken,
their delicacies and peculiarities unfold
all their beauty and captivation in the
spirit of intellectual rivalry. And the
men lose their pedantic, rude, declama-
tory or sullen manner. The coin of the
understanding and the heart is inter-
changed continually. Their asperities
are rubbed off; their better materials
polished and frightened, and their rich
ness, like fine gold, is wrought into
finer workmanship by fingers of woman
than it ever could be by those of man.
The iron and steel of our character are
laid aside like the harness of warrior
in time of peace and security.

ONLY A HEART.
BY "PEARL RIVERS"

lis not stone that will bruise, my Lord,
Nor is it serpent to sting,
A thorn to rend, or a sword to pierce,
Or any vile. poisonous thing.
Only heart, womans heart,
Step on it! crush it! SO.
Bravely done like man and true,
Turn on your heel and 60.
Only heart! do not fear, my Lord,
Nobody on earth is near
To come to the cry of the wounded thing;
And God is too far to hear.
Only heart! what matters it,
My Lord of the iron heel ;
Crush it again with a pitlless smile.
'Tis weakness, my Lord, to FEEL.
Nay. stoop not to touch it, to soothe it, my
Lord,
With the balm of gentle word;
So, SO, coldly turn from the crushed bleeding
thing.
1t is only heart, my Lord.
Only heart-what harm is dones
Let it bleed in the dust and moan,
Or stlhe Its anguish as best 1t may,
Or stiffen, my Lord, into stone.
Only heart! it is fresh. and young,
And tender. and warm, know;
AS pure as the spirit of chastity,
My Lord, and it loved you SO.
But nothing is lost. let it die. my Lord.
Let its death be quick or slow,
Such hearts are as plenty as summer leaves,
We find them wherever we GO.
Only heart. and for loving you so.
The cup that you give. let it drain
To the bitterest dregs, let it quiver and bleed,
Let it beat full rhythm of pain.
Nay! stay not to make it a grave, my Lord,
But back to your pleasures depart,
No blood on your hand, no stain on your
soul,
1t was only weak woman's heart.

WoMAN.-Shrink not from woman
of strong sense; for if she becomes at
tached to you, it is from seeing and
viewing the different qualities in your
self; you may trust her, for she knows
the value of your confidence; you may
consult her, for she is able to advise,
and does so at once, with the 6rmness
of reason and the consideration Of affec-
ton her love is lasting and it will not
have been lightly won; for weak minds
are not capable Of the loftiest grades Of
passion.

AN ALLIGATOR SWALLOWS A Ne.
GRO Boy The Norfolk (Va.) Journ-
al of August 7th, relates:
On Wednesday last two men who
were driving carts on the road running
along the bank of the Albermarle and
Chesapeake canal, near Coinjock bridge
observed something strange in the wa
ter below them. The mud was stirred
up and there was heavy splashing in
the water, SO that the men did not know
in the first place what it was that made
all the disturbance. At last, after they
had thrown some stones in where they
perceived the creature, an immense al
ligator came to the surface and looked
fercely at the disturbers of his gambols
The men having guns with bird shot
along, commenced firing at him, but
finding that the shot had no effect
they repaired to the store at the bridge
obtained reinforcements and heavier
ammunition and returned to the attack.
Having then opened on him with old
Confederate muskets, the alligator was
compelled to beat retreat, which be

YOU DID NOT COME.

The sun was gliding down the western sky,
The hours of day had almost reached their
sum:
Who kept the tryst that was appointed? L!
You did not come!
l sat and watched the evenings closing ray /;
The sunset woods were desolate and dumb;
l waited till the last faint streak of day.
You did not come!
Twas but to give me back flower or two
A ring-my letters, foolish, doubtless,
some
Mere trifes! Yet thought not SO ; and
you
You did not come!
The moonlight rose and spread its silver
food;
1 heard the DEATH moth round the night
shade hum;
A chilly loneness froze my fevered blood;
You did not come!
Twas at the call of war that forth you went,
With blaze of trumpet and with beat oi
drum;
Your parting passed without farewell sent
You did not come!
One word upon scrap of paper writ
Of plying comfort but single crumb;
II was not much. you might have spared
me it
You did not come!
And so until the end of all arrives,
wander far apart-my heart is numb.
Severed for aye the courses of our lives!
You did not come!
Life cannot be what it has been before
The hours of joy have reached, alas their
sum
The tryst you kept not can return no more
You cannot come! London Society.
