Can any man contemplate the picture OF
nearly the whole white population Of the state
disqualified from holding Office Withons nor.
rorY Can he appreciate the disasters tna'
must follow to sill the public interests from
: government from which all the best CO.
nsoit;es and virtues Of the State are
excluded
Who will vote for o man who proposes in
this way to put oil Of us under the ban
and continue without limit the proetration
Of the State? What white man will vote
for his own exclusion from the rights Of q
citizen for the continuation Of discon'
tent, hate, end war ? -f
How can the colored people vote for a
man whose avowed policy cripples indus
try, deprives labor Of its reward, and can
only end in utter ruin' Do colored people
desire to live In state Of continued hos
tility towards the white people whom they
know, and upon whom they rely, and must
rely, for employment and support Are
they to 90 on fighting under the WELLS flag
for depressing the whites and impairing
their welfare9 Will they not see that
thus they only do themselves incalculabie
harm
Between this WELLS party-with its pro,
scriptivs policy and it's vile passions and
hates, which imperil society-and the libe'
raj WALKER party there is the widest pos
sible contrast. One threatens social dis
cord, with the abomination Of desolation
the other promises harmony, thrift, and
peace. Who can hesitate between them

tain Mr. Toolc, the comedian, strolIcd into q
fair one afternoon ut Dundee, where he hap.
pened to DO playing, and the managers of the
entertainment determined that hc should add

exhibition then and there, and pressed him 60
strongly that he consented. The room was
then emptied and a new admission fee was
charged to all who entered. When Mr.. Toole
himself went to the door the keeper protested
that he did not at oil resemble Mr.. Toole, and
that If he wished to see the comedian he must
pay. To even such demand tho good.natured
man made no refusal, but paid for the privl-
lege Of entering the hall to give an entertain
ment for which he received nothing.

The Modern Knight.

Whose is no more the stately tread,
The grayely courteous mlen.
Tic linked mail ami helmet head,
The blade OF Syrian sheen;
Who walks the ways OF common men,
In hurrylng haunts Of trade,
Ills nrins, the ledger and the pen,
The plOughSh0re and the spade.
Whose splcndor Is no more the sun
or courts, the proud array,
In spurs OF knisnthOOd wildly won
In some fierce fought ARRAY;
Whose dress, as sober 10 the glance
As auiumn's brown leaf, hicS
CnnOitccd, on each breeze vi clIuncc,
Or wind OF enterprise.
Who coolv scans his fcllow-mcn
With philosophic eye;
Convcrscs calmly, Knowing when
TO smile, or when to sigh.
Nor Tits ut twlnd-millS-s;lrcs his breath
TO name them with Sncer:
MacGrcgor, on his native hcnth,
From linn had nought 10 fear.
Who rides no more through forest dim.
With halr.drawn sword, and prayer
Upon his lips, or holy hymn.
TO guard from evil there.
Who steps with dainty football, down
Tic church'5 tllrong lined aisle,
Aud views the cmhlcmcd cross aid crown
With self-suticient smile.
Whose chIvalry to all the weak
Is prOOtleSS-Wllo can cheat
The widow and The orphan meek,
And all their woes complete;
Whose highest aim Is self, whose laugh
Grects wrong, who mocks at right
Who bows before tile golden CALI
Is this the modern knighty
All 10. Who loves not his own age.
With all its faults OF kind,
May rank us hermit lcarn'd or sage,
But leaves ail love behind;
For human hearts, since Atlutu, beat
With pulses still the same,
Aud change, which time must ever meet
Is hali--a cEaigc OF name.
And loyal truth, pure knishthood's best,
A bright twinned stnr, still lies
Reelected from Il.6 earnest depths
