Speak kindly, it is better far
To rule by love than fear;
Speak kindly, let no harsh word mar
The good you might do here.
Speak kindly to the youthful ones,
They'll have enough the bear,
Pass through this world as best they may
,Tis full of anxious care.
Speak kindly to the erring ones,
They must have toled in vain;
Perchance unkindness made them so
Oh, win them back again.

ExEcUTIoN.-On Tuesday last at halfpast
12 m, the extreme penalty of the law was car
ried into effect by the hanging of Lewis Berry
one of the parties to the murder of MIR. Dun:
woody, and John Sweedenburg, for the cold
blooded murder of his own child by drowning
both colored. At an early hour the streets
leading to the Jail were crowded by black men,
women and children, drawn together by various
emotions-that is, if it be certain that these
people ever are influenced by the EMOTIONAL
desire to see the suferings of the two wretches
about to be speeded into eternity; to hear what
they had to say, to see them escape or be re-
prieved, or what is just as likely as any, the
opportunity to have holiday and injure their
employers interest. Be it as it may, there
could not have beer less than fifteen hundred
assembled About half-past eleven the con-
demned made their exit from the Jail in wag-
on in which were two cofins, and on which
these unfortunate creatures sat, singing loudly,
and the solemn procession, guarded by file OF
soldiers, made its way to the open space in
front of the depot where was the gallows.
Lewis Berry talked to the large crowd, express
ing his happiness that being innocent of the
crime of murder he could die calmly. To the
last he persisted that he knew nothing of the
murder till the morning after the fatal deed
and thaC the 0tner Two, JOnn OihSley anu
Steve Coleman were the chief actors. These,
it will be remembered, were cleared by jury
of their own color, while Berry and his wife,
the two perhaps least guilty, were convicted.
After short address, he requested his friends
to join him in singing hymn, which was done,
and then he offered prayer for mercy. Sufi-
cient time was allowed him for this address.
Swedenburg had nothing to say himself, but q
friend, preacher We suppose, made few re-
marks of warning against crime in general,
sang and also prayed.
As the time drew near, the friends and rela-
tives of these unfortunate men were allowed to
draw near and take final leave of them. The
scene was affecting, and one of the saddest we
ever saw of the kind. At half past twelve the
caps were drawn over their heads by the Sher-
if, and we turned and left before the final drop
was made, and We regret to say that, through
some accidental cause, the drop was a failure,
one of the ropes breaking, and in consequence,
both of the men fell to the ground, suffering
no doubt q double death. The rope being tied
and otherwise made ready, the execution at
length took place, and soon the life they had
forfeited was yielded as an expiation to the
offended law.-Mewberry Herald. ~

A BIRD sroRY.-Captain Percival, of Barn
stable, Mass, commander of the baraue Sicil-
ian, when in Messina last winter, became the
possessor of wild goldfnch, which he Gagged
and kept on board the ship. A few weeks
since, while on the passage from Philadelphia
to Boston, when off the Cape of Delaware the
bird made its escape from the cage and the
ship and lighted on the spars of the Give
Fathom Light Ship" The Sicilian proceeded
on her way, without her feathered pet and du-
ring the succeeding tfrirty-six hours made about
one hundred and twenty miles, bringing her
off Long Island. At this point, being sur
rounded by some thirty vessels sailing on diff
ferent courses, what was remarked to be a
shore bird was seen in the distance. 1t rapidly
approached the ship, lit upon her spars, and
finally entered the cage, its home, it proving
to be the lost goldfnchl However strange this
''bird story" may appear, it is true one. The
facts are well authenticated, and we can vouch
for their truthfulness. What instinct taught
this goldfinch the course the ship had taken,
and led it directly to its old home, when there
were so many similar vessels in the immediate
vicinity, we leave for those more versed in Or
anthology than ourselves to say.

A WORD TO FATHERs-We have read a
story of little boy, who, when he wanted a
new suit of clothes, begged his mother to ask
his father if he might have it. The mother
suggested that the boy might ask for himself.
II would" said the boy, "but don't feel well
enough acquainted with him." There is a
sharp reproof to the father in the reply of his
son. Many father keeps his children so at a
distance from him, that they never feel conf
dentially acquainted with him. They feel that
he is sort of monarch in the family. They
feel no familiarity with him. They fear him
and respect him, and even love him some, for
children cannot help loving some, everybody
about them, but they seldom get near enough
to him to feel intimate with him. They sci
dom 90 to him with their little wants and tri-
ais. They approach him through the mother.
They tell her everything. They have a high
way to her heart, on which they go in and out
with perfect freedom. In this keeping-off
plan fathers are to blame. Children should
not be held off Let them come near. Let
them be as intimate with the father as with the
mother Let their little hearts be freely open
ed. 1t is wicked to freeze up the love-foun-
tains of little ones hearts. Fathers do them
an injury by living with them as strangers.
T'his drives many child away from home for
the sympathy his heart Graves, and often into
improper society. 1t nurses discomfort and
distrust which many child does not out
grow in his lifetime Open your hearts and
arms, oh, fathers be free with your children ;
ask for their wants and trials play with them (;
be fathers to them truly, and then they will
lot need mediator between themselves and
YOU.

ing, he was unable to carry out his plans. An
untoward event caused him to anticipate the
movement, and the Army of Northern Virginia
was overwhelmed. But in the surrender he
anticipated conditions that have not been full
flled-he expected his army to be respected
and his paroled soldiers to be allowed the en-
joyments of life and property. Whether these
conditions have been fulfilled or not, let others
say. :4I.- -

to honor his memory, and there the skeleton

woman who, while her husband was in the field

an invalid herself, passed the time in knitting
socks for the marching soldiers A woman fit
to be the mother of heroes-and heroes are de-
scended from her. Mourning with her, we can
only offer the consolation of Christian. Our
loss is not his, but he now enjoys the rewards
of life we'll spent and never wavering trust
in risen Saviour. This day We unite our
words of sorrow with those of the good and
great throughout Christendom, foT his fame is
gone over the water-his deeds will be remem-

1t is only truism to say that the wealth OF a
country is the aggregate of its labor beyond Its

AFRAID OF DEATH-A YELLOW FEVER
INcIDENT.-During the recent alarm excitet.
by the prevalence Of fever q good many per-
sons adopted all sorts of preventives. Any
suggestion which tended to accomplish this
purpose was seized with avidity and applied
without scruple. A young man of the report
er's acquaintance was of this number. His
insane dread of the disease amounted to a mo-
nomania. Every conceivable nostrum was
taken, and every possible liquor imbbed as a
preventive lemonade, brandy and water, wine,
citrate of magnesia, mineral water, buchu, ca
thartic pills, and iron lozenges were taken sue
cessively, the same day, and in turn rejected
for newer and more efficient remedies To-
ward night he began to feel bad. Hisstomach
was in evident disorder, and racking pains pre-
vailed in the region of the head and back.
Satisfied that Yellow Jack was laying siege to
him in earnest, he sent for a physician, and
begged of him piteously to save his life.
The doctor examined him carefully.
"You haven't got yellow fever" he said,
"but you've eaten something that has disagreed
with you. shall have to give you an emetic."
The prescription was forthwith applied, and
the result awaited with impatience. Suddenly
the odor of brandy filled the room.
"'Why, you've been drunk" said the doctor.
"Wait, doctor, watt" gasped the patient, in
his paroxysm. o.ft

And then, mingled with these compounds,
came the smell of buchu, the sickening effuvia

"Why, man, what is all this 2" cried the as
tonished man of science
"Wait, doctor, we haven't got to the bottom
yet;" and then came out dark liquid, which
the patient in his distress denominated "molas.

Madeira, to be succeeded in their turn by Con-

ROMANCE in REAL L1FE.-F'ifteen years
ago, William Clarkinson, a young man who
lived with his wife on a farm in Ohio, sold his
farm, sent his wife to live with her parents, and
started for California to seek his fortune. AT
ter a months absence, Mrs Clarkinson ceased
to hear from him, and finally news came that
the train with which he had been journeyipg
had been attacked by Indians, and all killed
and scalped, excepting the usual one left to
tell the tale in such cases. After three years
mourning, Mrs. Clarkinson married and moved
into another county, where she lived in happi-
ness for twelve years, till the other day she was
called to follow the remains of her second has
band to its long resting-place AS she turned
away from the grave, she met pair of eyes
fixed intcntly upon her. Her first husband,
who, it seems, had been captured by the Indi-
ans, bus not killed, had been prisoner with
them for long years, had finally escaped, dis.
covered q rich gold deposit in his flight, made
himself rich, and was returning to his old
home to learn what had become of his wife, re-
peated letters having elected no answer when
a strange impulse led him to follow this fune-
raj procession to find his own wife burying her
husband. The scene was beyond description,
and the widow of ten minutes before was now
a happy wife.

Nor FOUND WANrNe.-The Edgcfeld Ad-
,erfiser says of those true rightspirited colored
men who so manfully stood by the Reform
party at the election on the 10Th: They have
done so knowing the consequences and under
the damning curses and maledictions of the
great mass of their own race. Their conduct
in breaking of from the Radical ranks, where
by the people were being plundered, robbed
and almost beggared, and uniting their fortunes
with those fighting under the banner of peace,
honesty and reform, is worthy of all commen-
dation, and entities them to the everlasting
gratitude and respect of every respectable man
in the community. And the white people must
and will sustain them at all tines-do them
every favor you possibly can-stana BY them in
sickness and in health, and under all eircuni-
stances be their staunch friends and firm pro-
tectors. We wish to publish the names of ev-.
cry colored Reformer in the County, so that
the people may know them, and for this pur-
pose respectfully request that their names be
sent us from each precinct. We hope this mat
ter will be attended to without delay.
