YOU'LL THINK OF THIS AGAIN SOME
DAY"
BY NELLY MARSHALL,

BY NELLY MARSHALL.
From the Louisville (Ky.) Watchman.1
In sternness and in hauteur now,
From enc who loves you WELL you turn
And every earnest, truthful vow
In scorn, you coldly from you spurn;
But, love, remember what say,
You'll think OF this again some day
Imay be far-I may be near
We know not what a day brings forth.
Pm banished from your true heart, dear,
But sure as leaves bud South and NORTH
Remember well what now say,
You'll think of this again some day!
When lands and seas between us lie
These sad regrets may come 10 you;
Then thinking of the days gone by
You'll feel your banished love was true:
Ali dear, it will be as say,
You'll think Of this again some day!
II may be when in crowds we meet,
And cold as verieSt strange seems
When passing on the busy street;
Then like the shadow of a dream
IL will be darling, as say,
You'll think of this again that day
II may be when your tears fall hot,
When gazing on my grave-draped lace
When lips you'se kissed will answer not
Nor of a death peace smile!give trace.
But sweetheart mark ,Chdt noU say!
YouUthink of this again some day!

A Voice from Anrica-Advice 10 the
COIOred People of Virginia.

A Voice from Africa-Advice TO the
COl0red People of Virginia.
From the Richmond Whig.l
MOsRovIA. LIBERIA, January 3, 1869.
| have lived now in this home of the
African nearly twenty years, but have
not forgotten the old scenes in Virginia,
nor the kindness of many white friends
in former days. / wish it was in my
power to return for time, that my voice
might be heard by my colored brethren
of the Southern States
am anxious for their fate. As sit
here, on the shores of this continent filled
with native black population, and look
across the great waters over your conti-
nent filled with white men, l cannot but
be fearful in regard to the future of the
few millions of people of my own blood
in the South, now left to their own re-
sources. l see tide of white men
pouring over those fields which have
heretofore fed them; tide coming from
the overhowing populations of the North
ern States and Europe. l remember
how the tide, when slow and feeble, swept
of the native Indians, and now, as it
rushes in its might, what is to shield the
transplanted African from its waves
can think of hut one hope for him.
If, as a body, the colored people Of the
South shall identify themselves with the
white people who now occupy aad hold
the soil, gain their affection and conf
dence, and become useful members of
their communities, they may aoat above
the torrent and still dwell in peace among
the associations of the past otherwise
they must, in the lapse of years, be
buried beneath it, or washed, like drift
wood, into the burning zone around the
Equator,
And yet the occasional letters and
papers we receive here from the United
States tell us that political demagogaes
from the North, peddling politics for their
own profit, are exciting our race to hos
tility toward the whites. If they shall
become the dupes of such enissaries,
their fate is sealed The scattered white
men on this continent of Africa might
as we'll array themselves against the
native tribes Of black men, with the ex-
pectation of meeting anything but
destruction in the pursuit of such folly.
| feel some confidence that the more
intelligent portion of the people OF
color will not be led sstrsy by adven-
turers who will use them while they reap
any personal profit from pretended
friendship, and desert them when they
please. But the mass have not had time
to learn lessons of political wisdom, and
the prospect fills me with sadness If /
could but make them hear me, would
appeal to them to make common cause
with the white people of their own land,
to take advice and counsel from such men
as have been known to them through their
lives for their high character and honesty
and intelligence, to seek the welfare of
the people on whom they must depend
through all time for their own prosperity,
to do no act which shall give to the white
population just cause for enmity, and
thus identifying themselves with the com.
munities in which they dwell, obtain for
themselves the most powerful of allies
against those forces which threaten their
very existence. Say this much to them
for me. 3. w. w.

In the Wrong Box-Two Courts ana
a Couple of Juries Puzzled.

From the indianapolis Sentinel. june 1871
A very funny mistake was made by
Juror Yesterday, which provoked much
merriment among the judges and attor-
neys of the circuit and common pleas
courts. 1t occurred in this way: Both
courts had juries empanneled, and
through mistake an old gentleman serv-
ing on the jury of the circuit court,
strayed into the common pleas court,
and took his seat among the rest OF the
iurors The rooms Of the courts are
yery much alike, and such a mistake
could easily be made. But the tun OF 1t
was that the trial was about commencing
when one of the argus-eyed attorneys
discovered that there were thirteen jurors
in the box. A search was at once instr
tuted for the interloper, and the old gen.
,leman was pounced upon as the bogus
Juror. he protested loudly, and insisted
that he had been sitting on the jury the
day before. The court ventured the re-
mark that there must be mistake some
where, but the old gent was determined
to maintain his position, and if thirteen
Jurors had been selected instead OF twelve,
il was not his fault. The sheriff was
completely beat, and could not, for the
life of him, account for the baker 8 dozen.
In the meantime the circuit court was
unable to proceed for the want of the alb
sent Juror. They had searched for him
in every direction. Thus it will be seen
that the wheels of justice were clogged
in both courts-one having too many in
the Jury box, and the other not enough.
While the problem was undergoing So
lutiou, the old gentleman took survey
of the room, and all at once the truth
flashed upon his mind, that he bad got
in The wrong courtroom. Jumping to
his feat. he exclaimed: "Well, I'll be
eyerIastingly dashed, II l ain't got in the
wrong box. Everything 10 the room is
exactly the same, but you can't palm on
that ere Judge on me P" The peal OF
laughter that followed this quaint ex-
clamation was almost equal to the open
ing chorus Of the Boston peace jubilee.
His honor, for the time, suspended the
dignity Of the court, and enjoyed the
joke heartily. LIZ.
When the missing juror turned up IN
the circuit court, and the mistake was
explained, there was another roar OF
Laughter, in which the court herself took
a hand. Altogether, il afforded much
merrimeut for the legal fraternity and ell
who we're present in both courts.

Thomas Jordan.
ON the Wilmington Star.l

From the Wilmington StarJ
The people of the South will not shed
many oceans of tears over the disap-
pointments and failures of Thomas Jor
dan, quondam chief-of- staff to the peer
less Beauregsrd, and now flibuster
among "the orange groves and vine
clad hills of one of Columbia's most
lovely isles"
This man Jordan is an officer Of talent,
and performed good service under the
ill-starred flag of our lost but not un-
loved Confederacy. But the war ended,
he must crafty some old personal spite
BY writing q shameless article for the
more shameless Hdrper's Magazine, in
which he villifies his fallen chief, Jeffer-
son Davis, then a griefstricken prisoner
in the gloomy classmates of Fortress
Monroe.
Mr.. Davis may have committed errors.
he doubtless did. But they we're errors
of the Aesd-not OF the heart" and the
ex-Confederate who could hurl at him
the eavenomed spear OF slander and
detraction while suffering in the prison
house Of tyranny, for the cause he loved
so we'll, is not the man to retain the re-
spect Of even those Southern men who
could not fully endorse the policy of Mr..
Davis.
General Jordan's article in Hdrper's
Magazine was doubtless the result of
disappointed ambition. he probably
measured his abilities BY a higher
standard than Mr.. Davis did. But be can
offer no Justification for bis coarse and
vulgar attack on his unfortunate chief.
Now, he has been disappointed again.
BE went to Cuba, il is said, with the fond
expectation of being made second in
command of the Cuban rebels, but that
position has been denied him. And,
should he escape the clutches Of the
Spanish troops, and return 10 the United
States, We shall doubtless be regsled with
another characteristic magazine article
from his wormwood pen.
&c on, Jordan, in your career Of fli-
buster. The people Of the South will try
to forget, but they can never forgive you.

governments Pcru and Cuba) with
which the United States are in friendly
relation. The U. S. government had
previously seized, aud still detains, the
sunboat Hornet, flying the flag of Cuba.
And in fact has discouraged and pre-
vented all efforts in this country against
Spain.
As she lins dune by Spain, so would
she do By Peru and Cuba. But Spain
cannot see it in this light, and is brist-
ling very angrily over the matter. The
affair lonks ugly. and seems to be troub-

is the absorbing topic in Washington,
where the Spanish minister is warmly
pressing the release of the detained gun
boats. "The probability is that the bub-
ble will not be pricked until after the

SWEDISH IMMIGRANrs FOR Sourn
CARoLINA.-Wc clip the following from
the Charleston Ecws:
Mr.. w. j. Fcrlow, who was some time
ago appointed one of the immigration
agents of the State, and who, for many
months past, has been diligently at work
in the North Of Europe to turn portion
oil the tide of immigration towards South
Carolina, arrived in this city yesterday
from Aialmo. Sweden, bringing with him
twenty-six Swedish immigrants, mostly
farmers, masous and carpenters. The
new comors all expect to select homes in
the interior Of our State.
Dir. Ferlow says that lie can induce
the immigration of any number of
Swedcs, Danes and Germans to South
Carolina, if p!nnters who desire such
Iuborers will cooperate with him by ad-
yancing portion Of the passage money.
