PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.-In the
labor Convention at Philadelphia yes
terday, Mr.. Myers Colored shipwright
of Baltimore, read an address from
the colored delegates, returning their
thanks for the recognition accorded
them, and declaring they would sHs-
tain every movement in defense of la
Dor, referring to the personal antago-
nism between the races, and stating
also that colored men opposed repudi-
alton declaring that in their opinion
it would be more danger forthe la
borer than for the capitalists. The
address referred in complimentary
terms to the President declaring that
his action on the eight hour law was
sufficient proof of his sincere friend

"NOTE THE BRIGHT HOURS ONLY.n
A Lesson in itself sublime,

A lesson In itself sublime,
Alesson worth enshrining,
Is tAts-"I take no heed of time,
Save when the sun is shining"
These motto words dial bore,
And wisdom never breaches,
TO mman hearts q better lore
Than this short sentence teaches.
As LIE is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let rs forget the toll and care,
And note the bright hours only.
There is no grove on earth's broad chart
But has some bird to cheer 1t,
So hope sings on in every heart,
Although we may not hear It;
And II to-day the heavy wing
or sorrow Is depressing,
Perehance fo-morroW's sun may bring
The weary heart q blessing,
For LIE Is sometimes, etc.
We bid the Joyous moments haste,
And then forget their glitter;
w. take the cup of life, and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we shonld teach our hearts TO deem
Its sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem (
To nnger round us longest.
As Life is sometimes, etc.
The darkest shadows Of the night
Are Just before the morning;
Then let us wait the coming light,
All boding phantOms scorning;
And while we're passing on the tide
OF times fast ebbing river.
Let's pluck the blossoms by its side,
And bless the gracious Giver.

In the third round both received and

RETROSPECT.

For us no more the years renew
Those social joys the gOne-time wore;
When blessed with youth WetallLed our plans,
By hearth Of home and cottage door.
But, as the widening circles spread
/ On lakes where dips the Wild birds wing
So we Feceed as days, as years.
Go down the futures hazy rim.
Far down that futures long dim shore,
Our LIES frail barks their canvass spread
And hurrying Winds wide drift us far 4
From youths loved sl<yes Of gold and red.
And only through its mist and cloud,
And stretch Of shore line dull and gray,
We catch at times the purple gleam
OF memory's uplands, far away.
Or hear at times those songs we loved,
When all were met In that gone day,
When every heart beat high with hope,
And broWs were fair as heaven of may.
Not less our joys, our hopes as high,
Our aims as noble in the strife,
Should guild the banner which we bear.
In all the years OF after life. @ -
And thus well gather from the past
What ere is good and noble born;
And strew again LIES devious path,
With crimsoning light and gold Of morn.

directors of the Atchison and Nebras-
ka Railroad, were in session nearly
all day Tuesday, and held another

ing very fast. Connections have been
made by this road with the Central
Branch of the Union Pacific. Cars

lumber and seven of other freight
went out west this morning on the
Central Branch road.

In company with Coyne, his trainer.

left side of his face is swollen, and
there is q scar under his left eye,

fighting until the stakes Of the last

FoRr TlcoNDERooA.-The autiquarias
OF Vermont are ut present vigorously ea-
gagged in maintaining the truth Of the IA
miliar account of the capture of Ticondsros
60 by Colonel Ethan Allen according to
which, that officer both planned the cxpe-
dition and captured the fort, rushing into
it before daybrcak, in May, 1875, and de-
manding its surrender g in the name of the
Great Jehovah and Continental Congress"
After the clapse Of nearly century it is,
alleged that Allen had nothing to do with
the project further than to belong to the
storining party. According to the testi.
mony now adduced, it is asserted that one
Colonel John Brown, of Pitts6eld, Mass,
first suggested the idea; that Benedict AZ.
mold was the chief commander Of the forc-n
cs; and as TO demanding the surrender OF
the fort in the manner commonly described
that Allen was an atheist who did not be,
licve in Jehovah. and than no Continental
Congress had vet come into existence.

build great causc-way or road, over which
to transport the stones Hcrodotus says
100000 men were employed ten years on
this part of tho work. g. After this prepara-
tory work, came the levcling ofthc rocky
foundation, the cutting out Of the subter-
rancan chambers, and the elevation Of the
huge mass of stones. This work, the same
writer says, occupied 500. 900 men twenty
years. There men were drafted BY the

NEGRO OUTLAwRY IN GEORGIA.-Tho
telegraph has made frequent and contra
dictory illusions to the recent negro troub-
les in Ogeechcc, Georgia. Full details Of
the affair have come to hand by mail.
From these it appears that warrants had
been issued against many Of the negroes
for larceny, attempt to murder, etc, and
the Sheriff and his officers attempted to
serve them but it was an attempt with
out the deed These officials werc glad to
escape with their lives. They report that
the negroes acted like pack Of demons,
and threatened to slay the whole party.
They appeared TO be thoroughly organized,
armed with new muskcts, and to have rcgg-
ular officers directing their movements.
Negroes whom the white men never saw
before, and whom thoy did not know, sud-
denly appeared on the scene, and were
recognised as leaders by the negroes.
Having driven off tho sheriff and his posse,
the negroes seem to have scattered in all
directions, plundering plantations, destroy
ing property. maltrcating women and chill
dren, and in one instance at least, commit
ting murder. The leaders openly declar-
ed that they had commenced war, and an
nouned their determination to lot no white
man live on tho Ogeechee.-CuN. l .sd
