Prayer and fasting, Oh, my Father!
Nearer let me come to Thee;
Let the angels whisper ever
In my ear, Gcthsemane.
All. my bahled heart has tasted
Till it faints with hungry pain;
Yet if Thou wilt feed me, Saviour,
All my loss [ count as gain.
Humbly let me kneel before Thee,
With affection crucifcd,
With my spirit, contrite. broken,
Healed of all its human pride.
Keep my tongue from evil speaking,
Keep my ears from foolish praise.
Keep my heart from Satan's whispers,
Keep my feet in wisdom's ways
Thou, who seest all my weakness,
Thou, who knowcst 1 am dust,
Pity me, and keep my treasures
All untouched by 'moth and rust"
When thou vert ahnngered, Saviour,
Satan whispered in thy ear;
Now unto my human weakness

And when in the cold, blind darkness,
Cries my hungry heart for bread,
Close the tempter draws unto mo

Kingdoms of the world he shows me,
Fame, and wealth, and human pride,
Tempts me to forget the anguish
Of the holy crucified.
Ah, the kingdoms spread before me,
Royal castles in the air,
Cleaning turrets full Of grandeur,
Hidden chambers of despair
Lead me, Father, for I stumble,
Satan's hand is very near,
And n broken reed he offers
While he whispers in my ear.
Bids me know Thou art above me,
Far beyond my human cry;
Taunts me with my desolation;
Bids me curse Thee, Lord, and die.
Close and closer, oh, my Saviour,
SIN the shadow of Thy wing"
Let my wearied spirit nestle
With the peace that faith can bring!

ARRIVAL OF DISTINGUISHED NIsIroK. -

Our readers will remember that after the

the latter vessel was sunk, Capt Bingham,
an English gentleman, who was cruising in
the vicinity In his private yacht, the Deer
hound, rescued Admiral Semmes and seve-
raj of the crew of the Alabama from drown

created quite sensation, and Mt one time
there was probability that serious inter
national question would grow out of it, Capt.
Bingham arrived in this city yesterday, and

The NEGRO a NUISANCE. just now the
radical party is pressing another patch to
the Notwithstanding which Consti-
tuition, by-the-by, it may be remarked that
while radicalism has no respect for the coat,
it has an immense regard for the patches,
and particularly for the patches which radi-
calism proposes TO put on. This latest
patch is for the purpose of compelling the
States, whether they will or no. to udoDt
negro suffrage. But State elections are
coming on speedily in New Hampshire and
i'll Connecticut, and so the new negro bill,
which has trinmphantly passed the House,
sticks III the Senate. The rank hypocrisy
of the radical party is absolutely nothing to
tho immensely of its mcanncsS. Here is the
poor negro, for whom the country has cx-
pended So, 900, coo. 600, for whom the South
has been reconstructed, for whom we pay
sixteen dollars II barrel for flour, which used
to cost only six dollars; for whom We are to-
day the most burlcned and over taxed poo
pie on the face of the earth, actually COM
pclled to stay ont in the cold, so far rs his
UNIVERSAL ClalnS 10 suffrage are concerned,
till the radical party finds out whether it can
carry Connecticut by carefully conceaing
the colored brother in the fence till nfter
the election. Radicalism insists that ne
groes. who were soaking in the swamp only
yesterday, shall sit as statesmen in the local
Legislatures and make laws for men to whom
these blacks were lately slaves; but the mo-
ment one of these negroes offers to put foot
in Congress, he is speedily sent about his
business es was negro Menard, from Louisi-
ana. And now it transpires that the Grant
Inauguration bnll was given Up solely be-
cause ed - d niggers," as prominent
radical calls them. wonld Insist upon assist
ing on that occasion. The negro answers
well enough n motive for II civil war, or
for the subversion of the Constitution, or
as an excuse for taxing the very skin from
off Il white mans back; but no "d-d
niggcr" must sit in radical Congress or
attend radical ball. SO the negro is
elected, booted out and passed to an i'm
portant position in the great Department of
the Exterior. When radicalism thus elects
the negro, other people may find an excuse
by-nnd-by, to eXterminate him.

Amenities of q Foreign summer ResOrt-A Duel
Between Two Women.
The last number of the Paris MOaiteT con-
tains the following romantic story
Two ladies of the world, who pass the winter
season at the watering places on the shores of
the Mediterranean, were scaling at 6 o'clock on
the morning of May Is the gorges of the Alps,
undulating towards the a few miles distant
from Nintimiglia. Upon reaching the summit of
the hill on which are to be seen the ruins of a
Roman castle, they stopped twopeasant women,
and induced them by means of money to serve
them as witnesses in a very important operation
which they said they were about to execute.
The two ladies next measured the ground
One of them placed herself with her back
against the ruins of the Castle of Appias
and the other placed herself before her at a
distance of twenty steps. Each of the
women then drew pistol from under their
cloaks. At the sight of these weapons. the
peasant women uttered piercing cries and ad-
yanced with uplifted arms to prevent the ANA
IONS from firing at one another. But two shots
were discharged at the same moment. The poor
peasant women fell down, while the ladies burst
into loud laughter at seeing their witnesses on
the ground piteously begging them not to XIII
them. The ladies then reloaded the pistols and
took position in front of each other, at distance
of fifteen steps They were about to fire again,
when a third witness made his appearance. He
emerged from behind the wall OF the ancient
castle. Startled by the reports OF the pistols he
had fastened to the spot from the nelghborlng
parsonage. He urged the two rivals to make
up their quarrel, and succeeded in reconclhng
them. love affair was at the bottom OF the
strange duel"
