WHAT THEN?

An old man, crowned with honors nobly earned
once asked youth what end in life he sought,
The hopeful boy suid--"I would first be learned
1 would know NIL that ali the schools e'er taught.
The old man gravely shook his head
"And when you've learned all this, what then -
he said.
"Then,, said the boy, with all the warmth OF
youth,
'Id be a lawyer, learned and eloquent;
Appearing always on the side of truth,
My mind would grow as thus twas early bent"
The old man sadly shook his head,
"And when you've done all this, what then -
he said.
~ will be famous said the hopeful boy;
"Clients Will pour upon me fees and briefs
'Twill be my pleasing task to bring back JOY
To homes and hearts near crushed by darkest
grieis."
But still the old man shook his reverend head,
"And when all this is gained, what thcn?" he
said.
"And then | will be rich, and in old age
l Will withdraw from all this legal strife;
Known in retirement as an honoredsage,
I'll pass the evenings of an honored life.
Gravely again the old man shook his head
"And when you've done all this what them he
said.
"And then why then, know that | must die.
My body then must die, but not my fame;
surrounded by the fallen great III lie,
And far posterity will know my name"
Sadly the old man shook again his head,
"And after all Of this, what then?" he said.
"And then, and thcnr'-but ceased the boy to
speak,
His eye abashed, fell downward TO the sod,
n silent tear dropped on each blooming cheek.
The old man pointed silently to God,
Then laid his hand upon the dropping head
Remember, there's place beyond" he said.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.


SOLDIER citizen, you that left vile
and little ones, you that babe farewell to
aged parents perhaps never to see them
again, you that went forward to the
battle field and periled your life In the
service of your country, to you the ques-
ton comes to-day, For Dhat did you
fght9
Did you bare your breast to the bullets
of the enemy in order that the negro
might be given the control Of the gov
ernment of ten States of this UnionY
Did you charge the rebel batteries in
order that the States which attempted
to go out of the Union by secession,
might be put out and kept out by
Radical Congress at its pleasure?
Did you suffer in the hospital, or
languish in prison, in order that hun
dreds of thousands of your own blood
and race should be deprived of the
rights of American citizens, whilst un-
naturalized, half-savage Africans are
given the reins of political power?
Did you lose that precious limb in or
der that Frecdmen's Bureau and
large standing regular army might live
off your taxes?
Yet, more than all, did you march,
and bivouac, and fight and suffer, In or
dSr that gulf of eternal hate should
be made to flow between the North and
the South?
If yes, then it is your duty to vote
the Radical ticket.
If no, then there is chasm between
yourself and Radicalism which no form
er party affiliation, no appeal to the
past, no promise as to the future, can
possibly bridge over. The policy of
war is hard knocks; the policy ofpeace
is fraternity and love. You fought the
rebels not to make them hate you, but
to compel them to submit to the author
ity of the Constitution. You made
peace not to be at enmity with the
Southern people, but to win them back
as your friends. Your mission was one
of love, not hate; of love for the Union,
love for our free institutions, love for
all men who would throw down their
arms and submit to the laws of the
land. Soldier-cltizen, you who pride
yourself in your manly record, you who
scorn to trample upon fallen foe, you
who are christian as well as warrior,
the Democratic party appeals to your
better nature, to that divine attribute
of man which alone makes life beauti-
ful, to love. Radicalism, on the other
hand, seeks to stir up the bitterness of
the human heart it makes its appeal
to hatred, malice and revenge; it asks
you to put your foot upon the neck of
the fallen foe, and, coward-like, TO
crush him forever. Between these two
you must choose. No matter as to the
men who bear these two standards of
Lore and Hate. You will march under
the one or the other. Which shall il
be?
| "1he quality of mercy is not straind;
1t droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
| Upon the place beneath; it is twice blessed;
II blesseth him that gives and him that takes

The Radical Electoral College Swim
de-

AN extraordinary thing, fit only for
a Radical majority of Legislators, was
done in the House Saturday. Senator
Edmunds's bill, excluding from the
Electoral College votesiOf States lately in
rebellion which have not been "recon-
structed" by Congress, was reported by
Mr.. Boutwell,, from the Committee on
Reconstruction, with amendments as
follows:
ResOlred, That none of the States
whose inhabitants were lately in rebel
lion shall be entitled to representation
in the Electoral College for the choice
of President and Nice-President of the
United States nor shall any electoral
votes be received or counted from any
of such States, unless at the time pre-
scribed by law for the choice of electors,
the people of such States, pursuant to
the act of Congress in that behalf, shall
have, since the 18th day of March, 1867,
adopted Constitution of State Govern
ment under which State Government
shall have been organized, and shall be
in operation nor unless such election
of electors shall have been held under
the authority ofsuch Constitution and
Government; and such State shall have
also become entitled to representation
in Congress pursuant to the acts of Con-
gress in that behalf, provided that moth
ing herein contained shall be construed
to apply to any State that was repre-
sented in Congress on the 4th of March,
1867,
The bill, which was passed in the
Senate Friday, was considered in the
House Reconstruction Committee yes
terday morning about fifteen minutes.
| The Bill has gone to the President for
his signature-will undoubtedly be ve-
toed, and then passed over his head.
Its obvious meaning is to give the pres
ent Congress the right of counting the
electoral vote of such Southern States
es may vote for Grant, and to exclude
those who do not. Can any candid
Republican endorse such partisan base
ness? Is the whole time and machine
ry of our Government to be devoted TO
maintaining this Radical party in pow
er? Let the people answer in Novem-
Der.

A Tale About a Head.

JAKE was little negro who belonged
to DR.. Taliaferro and was said to have
in his little frame heart as big as Gen.
Jackson's-to say nothing of Napoleon
Bonaparte and Zachary Taylor. He
didn't even fear that respectable fellow,
Old Nick and as for GOODNESS, he was
cool as the tip-top of the North Pole.
One day DR.. Taliaferro, upon the oc-
casion of the commencement of Medi-
cal College, of which he held the chair
of Anatomy, gave dinner. Among
his guests was well known ventrilo-
quist. Late in the evening the bottle
had done its work, and the conversation
turned upon courage, and the Doctor
bOasted considerably of the lion heart of
his favorite man Jake. He offered to
bet that nothing could scare him, and
his bet the ventriloquist took up, nam
ing at the same time the test he wanted
imposed. Jake was sent for and came.
"Jake," said the Doctor, 81 have bet
large sum of money on your head and
you must win it. Do you think you
can ?'
"Berry well, MASTER" replied Jake,
''just tell dis nigga what he's TO do and
he'll do it shure."
81 want you to go to the dissecting
room. You will find two dead bodies
there. Cut off the head of one with a
large knife which you will find there,
and bring it to us. You must not take
a light, however, and don't get fright
ened."
"Dat's all, is ?" inquired Jake, Oh! !!
berry well, I'll do dat shure, for
sartin-and rs for being frighten'e ed deb
bill herself amt a gwine to frighten
me-"
Jake accordingly set off, and reach
ing the dissecting room, groped about
until he found the knife, and the bodies.
lie had just applied the former on the
neck of the latter, when from the body
he was about to decapitate, hollow
and sepulchral voice exclaimed
"Let my heUd dione!"
"ies sah," replied Jake, "haiu't
'ticular--and tudder head'll do just as
WELL"
He accordingly put the knife to the
head of the next corpse, when another
voice, unearthly in its tone, shrieked
out
"Let my hedd atone ="
Jake was puzzled at first, hut ans wer-
ed presently
Look ii YAH Master Toliver sed
mus bring one oh de heads, and you
isn't gwinc to fool me, no how" and
Jake hacked away until he separated
the head from the body. Thereupon Il
half dozen voices screamed out
"BriI7g IL back! Bring il back ~
Jake had reached the door, but on
hearing this, turned round and said
"Now-now, see yah Jest keep qui-
ct, you fool, and don't wake up de wo,
men folks. Master only gwine to look
at de bumps"
"Bring bach my head al once -
cried the voice.
"Tend to you right away, sab ?" re-
piled Jake, as he marched off with tn,
head and in the next minute depositet
it before the Doctor.
$50 you have got it, see," said the
master.
"Yes sah," replied the unmoveo

rich man." The popuace We're greatly
excited, and crowded audience greet

"And there was another rich man, who

short, and seemed to be suddenly i'm
pressed. Brethren, shall not men

CrRcus.-Cramer was here on Friday
night and DeIIavcn OH Monday night
Cralner played in the afternoon. DeIIayen
caught storm and didn't play till night.
Both had large ''houses'' in the evening
and our folks were we'll satisfied. We
said we would write kind word for each
circus and SO we do, but drawing distinc-
tons and praising one at the expense of
the other are ront. We pulled each of
them in advance and our space will not
allow a long yarn about them. We think
Cramer's play is the most original in the
business; DeIIavcn's band and his lady
riders unexcelled. AS We always enjoy a
circus or a play of any kind, it is our
opinion both these "circuituses" are
worthy of patronage.

The Chicago Journal quotes and endorse.
an article from the Cincinnati gazette
Trad which charges Senator Grimes with
unparalleled corruption in the navy de-
partmcht ever since he became chairman
of the Senate naval committee. His ad-
ministration is characterized as notorious
riot of incompetency and corruption"
The Journal says that Grimes, until his
refusal to vote for conviction OF the Presi-
dent, possessed the implicit confidence OF
his constituents" So that while Crime.
''ircompetency and corruption were run
ming riot into naval affairs, and Hundreds
of millions were being sunk thereby, and
these facts were as well known to the
Journal AS to day, he enjoyed 1.-THE implicit
confidence of his party.
His party then places ''implicit conf
dence' in men whom it knows to be
''incompetent and corrupt, and that con-
lidence only ceases when those men pro.
pose to give an honest verdict in the
president $ case.
Suppose Grimes had voted for impeach.
ment and democratic paper had subse-
quently charged him with 'incompctcncy
and corruption"in the navy department,
would not the Chicago Journal and Cincin-
natl Gazette, have denounced it as IA ''cop-

body that the ticket is "wrong end first
As a longtime personal friend Of Mr..
Colfax we are very sorry he is only the

the motion of Grant may be accelerated
