HOLD ON. HoLDIN! HOLD OUT!

Hold on, my heart in thy believing %.
The steadfast only wins the crown;
He who, when stormy waves are heaving,
Parts with his anchor, shall 90 down;
But he who Jesus holds through all,
Shall stand though heaven and earth should
fall.
Hold in thy murmurs, Heaven arraigning-
The patient see Gods loving face;
Who bear their burdens accomplishing,
'Tis they that win the Fathers grace;
He wounds himself who braves the rod,
And sets himself to fight with God
Hold out There comes an end 10 sorrow
Hope from the dust shall conquering rise;
The storm foretells SUMMER morrow
The cross points on TO Paradise.
The Father reigneth cease all doubt
Hold on, my heart-hold in, hold out.

MEMORIAL DAY.

70 those ladies, who, with kindest consider
ton and disinterested sympathy, strew
flowers on the graves OF the "unkno"
brave.
We strew each soldiers lonely grave
With sweetest fow'rs of Spring;
Der mould ring hearts of bravest brave
Our saddest requiem sing.
Alike the graves of those we knew;
The graves we call our own,
We dress, with fow'rs as fondly too,
Those sadly marked "unknOtcn."
Oh! weeping mother, far away,
With roses bright and rare,
We deck thy darling's grave to-day,
With fondest mothers care,
Oh widowed one, bereayed and lone,
Twill soothe thy grief to know
We strew the grave, tho all unknown,
OF him thy heart loved so.
And mourning sister, too above
Each unknown strangers grave,
Pure lilies place with sisters love,
Der those who died to save.
What, tho the marble may nottell
Their deeds on golden scroll,
They're sleeping where they nobly fell,
With names on Fame's "long roll"
And so we blessed them all the same,
With sweetest, brightest dow'rs
We left them each and all with Fame,
They're Glory's now and ours.

No MORE SLAUGHTERING IN THE City
The police are notified that the injunctons re-
straining the enforcement of the ordinances Of

city are vacated, and that those ordinances have
therefore all the force OF law. This must lead
to the immediate abatement Of the nuisanccs
Of Strengthening in our thickly peoplcd neigh

THE lRREpRESsIBLE CoNFLICT.-It will bo
seen by telegram from Norfolk that =
serious conflict occurred in Princess Anne
county, Va, between an armed band of negroes
and detachment of federal troops, and
that further trouble was apprehended. A SER
geant had been mortally wounded and three
negroes killed. The difficulty arose from re-
sistance by the negroes to the Sheriff of the
county in the execution of a writ. At the
same time reports from New Mexico represent
trouble between the white and colored troops
out there, in which several were killed. In fact,
we have almost daily similar accounts from
one part Of the country or the other Of con-
ficts between the races. 1t is no longer an
irrepressible conflict between slavery and free
dom, but between the white and black man.
and has been brought about by political dema-
gognes endeavoring to subvert the laws Of ma
ture II this state of things is to continue the
black man must in the end go to the wall, and
then he will have reason to curse the dema-
gogues who, under the pretence Of being his
friends, prove to be his worst enemies.
A TANNER Boy IN THE SENATE. Honest
John Scott, once poor backwoods tanner boy
in Pennsylvania, has been nominated by the
republican caucus as their candidate for the
United States Senate from that State In the
place of Mr.. Buckalew. This, of course, Sc
cures his election. Mr.. Scott was formerly q
democrat, but is now regarded as republican
Of the Cameron stamp. The Senatorial agony

won't some poor tanner bcy surn up i. Ibis

Of our Legislature? The tanners will be at
the top Of The heap in the next administration.
ANARCHY IN MExIoo-A SpEcK or WAR
on THE HoRIzoN.-Thc telcgraphic news from
Mexico represents that country as going from
bad to worse in anarchy and threatened re-
voution. The Mexicans are insane enough 10
threaten the United States and to murder and
insult our citizens. There is, the despatch
says no protection for American residents.
This Is the gratitude we are receiving for
saving Mexico from foreign subjugation and
imperial despotism. Is IL not time that our
government taught these Mcxicans to behave
themselves, and TO blot out a so-called rc-
public, which is only nest of bandits and a
disgrace to the worldy
