Mr.. EDITOR SO the 18th Amend
ment is ratified at last. Wonder if
there are any negroes that are not
sufficiently enlightened to make a
proper use of their new citizenship? p?
If so they will probably in time, be-
come educated and fitted for the vari-
Gus positions which they will now
assume. Be this as it may, the fiat
has gone forth and time alone will de-
termine their capacity; but 1 cannot
help wondering If we shall have a
gTander, broader, more democratic gov
ernment within the next ten years
In the mean time, now that the lib
eraiity of the American people has
been extended thus far, we hope il
will not pause in its onward march,
out give us in due time a sirteenth
amendment. When the door is slight
ly ajar, do not take the trouble to close
| it; though we cannot say that we
really relish the idea of coming after
the darkies, second best, yet that,
humble as it may be, is decidedly bet
ter than to 0Lt0dys remain in the back
ground and be forever unrecognized
as a citizen of the United States.
We women who have been accus-
toned all our lives to come after the
ishead," also to be ''put of' from veal
! to wear. will not mind it so very much
but submit with good grace, patient
ly, trustingIy and hopefully, know
ing that the promised freedom viii
surely come though it be at the elev'
eDth hour. Knowing that great, ear
nest souls are engaged in the advance
ment of our cause who will work Oh
unflinehing, knowing no such word
as fail.
The agitation Of this question is moi

Memnrlns.

The heart has memories that can
never die; the rough usage of the
world cannot obliterate them. Feeble
age, trembling on the brink of the
grave, has them when everything else
has fled away, and been forgotten
They are the memories of home, early
home-the home where we were
born; the garden with its roses, where
the robins made their nests, spring
after spring, paying their rent in
songs such as we dream of, but never
hear afterward the old elm and swing,
where the children used to play,
while the mother sat by the window,
her face beaming out occasionally
through the muslin curtain the same
old house, with its pointed gables,
quaint corniees and antique windows;
the wainscOted chamber where we
used to dream of all that the great,
glad world had in store for US. Dear
old home. with its gay dreams, and
sunny hours, and elOudless skies, and
visions of bliss, and glorious happI-
ness gone-all gone,
The traveller, climbing the noun
tains of land not his own, amid all
his toll and changes, reverts ever and
anon to the time when, a youth or
sehool-boy, he roamed the fields and
hills of his own native home.
The mariner rocked by the storms
of the sea, or resting at some foreign
port, will run through the long lapse
Of years back to the house where,
with brother and sister he frOlieked
the joyous hours of youth away.
Neither changes nor time-neither
age nor youth-neither distance nor
disease-neither guilt nor passion, can
ever blot from the heart the memories
of the spring-time of life. Those
memories will reproduce, on the verge
of eternity, the freshness of emotion,
of life and desire, with which exist
ance on earth began.

ADMISSION OF PUPILS, ETC.

Children between the ages of six and
fifteen, who are idiotic, or so peculiar
or deficient in intellect as to be incapa-
Bile of being educated at any ordinary
school, and who are not epileptic or
greatly deformed, may be admitted by
the Superintendent, with the advice
and counsel of the Executive Commit
tee. Applications in behalf of others
shall be referred TO the action of the
Board of Trustees.
The parents, or next friends of those
in whose behalf applications are made
for admission as pupils, are expected
to make answers in writing to such
questions as the Superintendent may
prescribe.
Commodious buildings, in a healthy
and accessible location, and a special
system of instruction, training and
management, render this institution
a desirable residence for all children
deficient in mind, or with marked ec-
eentricities and peculiariIies of intel
lect.

Ambition, on a tristful day,

She cast her sedgy crown aside
Her rusSet mantle streaming wide
And left me. fer the hollow.
When she ned across the plain
Bright Hygeia in her train,
Ambition Said,-The low-born maid
Has only gone to borrow
The laurel wreath Apollo twines,
A girdle from PotoSian mines
And fruit from rich Burgundian vines
She'll come, in state, tomorrow!
As struggled with my guide,
On the gorg-d mountain side,
Ny pulses sank, my sinues snIahA'
And froze my very marrow.
For there the raVened bodies lay
or poets stricken by the way
While voices, sad as snow In May,

Only with the cypress weaves;

When the brain and heart are riVen;

And the earthworm wins his gol0
Only when his soul grows cold.
Beauty scorns my yearning throes;
Falsely bright the goblet glows-
For in the lees the shadows freeze
A crystal form Of sorrow;

And Honor uocks my labored task
When will Contentment come? ask

IDIOTIC AND IMBECILE YOUTH.
Report Of the Superintendent Of the
State Asylum.

HIoSTATE AsYLUMFoR IMBEcILEs,
November 10, 1869. !
To the Board of Trustees Il here
with submit the Fifteenth Annual re-
port of this Institution. Since the
date of the last report, one hundred
and forty-nine children have been ad-
mitted, and twenty-five discharged or
removed by friends. No death has
occurred. The vacancies created by
discharges and removals have already
been promised to other applicants,
and for reasons connected with CLASH
fication and organization, it is not
deemed prudent at present, to increase
the number of our pupils beyond one
hundred and fifty.
Of the removals, six were dismissed
because they had experienced the full
benefit of the Institution, all of them
being able TO read and write, and to
be more or less useful to themselves
and others by their laboring capaci-
ties. One of them is now employed
at wages, and is self supporting. Five
Others have not returned since the
summer vacation; four have been
discharged because epileptic; three
were removed in consequence of con-
tinued i'll health, which prevented
them from receiving the benefits of
the Institution except as hospital
patients; one, of adult age, was in
sane; and six were found to be too old
after admission. Those remaining in
the Institution are making satisfactO-
nv progress in their respective classes,
under the system of teaching eX-
planned in former reports.

An Irish doctor Oulwitted.

An Irishman, suffering severely from
tOothache, called upon witty and distin-
guished dentist of his native land TO have
his tooth extracted.
"Oh, doctor, darlln', Pm sufferin' ter.
Tibly, can you aise the pain?" ''Sit down
here" said the doctor, and I'll fix you all
right IN jiffy." 'DOcther, dear, will it
hurt me much 2'' "If it don't, " said the
doctor, jocosely, won't charge you a
cent. The poor fellow opened mis- mouth
and in a twinkling the doctor had hold of
the offending member. and gave it such o
twitch in drawing it that his patient gave
q jump and a scream. FDid it hurt you
much 2" asked the doctor, as the poor suf-
ferer was hobbling round. Not a bit,
docther, not q bit" 'Whatl' exclaimed
the astonished doctor. 'Oh, not bit.'-
The doctor concluded he was euchered
out of his fee that time, sure.

While spending an hour or so in Mans
field on Monday last, we fell in company
with our ex-express friend, Mr. Geo. Me
Guire. of our town. now connected with
the extensive Separator works of Aultman
& Taylor Mr. Mcclure kindly invited
US to visit the establishment, which was
promptly accepted In the Office, as head
business man, was Mr. Michael Harter,
looking and acting for all the world as
though he was at home and master of the
situation We felt as though we would
have much preferred to have seen mi
chaeP remain in Canton, and to have had
Just the same or similar establishment
here. However, let the Separator works
Of Aultman & Taylor, including mi
chael," Mcclure & Co., flourish, as they
deserve. The foreman of the machine de-
partment is Joseph Allonas, formerly of
Canton, and one of the best machinists of
our acquaintance, and in every respect a
most worthy and competent gentleman.
The Aultman & Taylor works at Mans
field have now force Of over 800 men
employed, and are now rapidly turning
out their fine and popular separators. One
feature of their works that struck us ia
vorably is their large warehouse, l00xS00
feet, and iour stories. Their machines,
when finished, are here stored till shipping
time arrives. The machines are elevated
by steam power. One great convenience
for shipping is its proximity to the differ
ent railways.

THE TERRIBLE FIRE IN MEDINA.

In another column we give a dispatch
account of the terrible fire in Medina VII
lage last Friday morning. The Akron
Daily Beacon of Saturday gives full ac-
count
1t seems XIV amendment caused the fire
and indeed not the only one caused there
by. Tom. Fitch, darkey, had gone to
Cleveland to celebrate and left his two
boys, young men, in charge. But on
Thursday night they must celebrate too
as they felt good all over. Their shop
was on Main street, up stairs in Bost-
wlck's frame building over Shuler's shoe
store. About l o'clock one of the slum-
benng drunken darkies knocked the lamp
off the table and the benzine running oV-
er the floor soon communicated the fire to
the building which was directly enveloped
IN flames. All the darkies and compan-
ions could do was to get out and sound
the alarm. The flames spread rapidly
south, and north to Akron street and
crossing Main street east, soon consumed
the Phoenix block, the hotel, &c, as far
east as the M. f. church. The fire also
crossed the street. northward and soon in
volved the Selkirk block, the Ainsworth
block, the frame buildings of Mattison
and Blannett, the Humphreys block the
bank block and the frame north of this

was Dan Ainsworth's livery stable also

This was really the business portion of
the village, and it is q terrible blow to the !
