OUT IN THE COLD.

With blue hands and stocklngless feet,
Wandered child in the cherries street;
Children were many, who, housed and led,
Lovingly notwithstanding bed
Caroled their joys in land of bliss,
Without care or thought of this;
They were Warm in humanity's fold,
But this little child was out in the cold
Out in the Geld.
Bleak blew the wind thro theeheerlesss street,
Dashiug along the merciiess sleet,
All furred and shawled, man, woman, child
Hun ried aloLg-for the storm grew wild;
They could not bear the ieiele's blast,
Winter, 50 rude. on their pathway cast.
Alasi none pittied-Do one consoled
The little Wanderer out in the cold
Out in the cold.
She had no father, she had no mother,
Sisters none, and never a brother;
They had passed to the star worlds above
She remained here with nothing to love.
Nothing to love''-O, men did not know
. bat wealth ofj3Y that child could bostow
So they went by and worshipped their gold,
Leaving the littlo ons out in the eeld-
Out N the cold.
Wandered she on till the shades Of night
Yelled her shivering form from sight;
Then with cold hands over her breast,
She prayed to her Father in Heaven for rest,
When hours had fed meath the worlds dark
irown,
Hungered and chilled, she laid herself down;
LAID down TO rest, while the wealthy rolled
In carriages past her, out in the cold
outin the cold.
Out in the coid-lo. an angel form
Brought her white robes that were rich and
warm;
0utin the cold, on the sleeping child,
The sainted face of a mother smiled;
A sister pressed on her brow kiss
Led her mid scenes Of Heavenly bliss;
And angels gathered into their fold
That night the little one out of the cold
Out of the cold.

A Good Place for COlOred Folks

A Good Place for COlored Folks.
The wife of j. Milton Turner
(coIored), American Minister to
Liberia, writes thus to a female
acquaintance, whose husband is a
barber in st. Louis: 81 see and
learn so many things of this strange
country, that, hurried as I am to
reach the mail before it is closed, I
scarcely know which to write first
about. But I must tell you that
the President and Cabinet gave
Mr. Turner a superb reception.
Persons from many different parts
were present. A few evenings af-
forwards he arranged for us a select
gathering at his residence, which
was simply. elegant. The Mayor of
the city also gave US a reception at
his residence. This entertainment
caused me for the time being to
forget that we were in Africa. Ev-
cry luxury of the tropical climates
were upon the table. and the COM
pany was very intellectual. just to
think Of Generals and Colonels in
the uniform, cabinet officers, city
council men. lawyers, doctors, other
professional characters, authors,
editors, poets, and other distin-
guished literary people, together
with live President and a bevy Of
ladies to correspond, and they, ev-
cry one colored! There we're also
present the Ministers Of England,
Germany, Norway and Sweden,
Hayti and other countries I de-
clare il was the incest affair I have
ever seen"

studied closely its various moods
and changes. This snake, he says
did not partake ofa morsel Of food
for the first nine months, and but
little water. He then gave is mice
rats, &c, putting the same in the
case alive, and it COM
menced devouring it voraeiously.
Itnever would touch a lame ord dead
mouse, fresh as it might be. When
young rat was put into the case,
it would plant its unerring fangs in
some part Of its limbs or body, and
then wait until it died from the
thorough inoculation of the poison.
When quite dead it would turn it
over, take it head foremost and
swallow it, evidently drawing nutri-
ment from the poison its own tangs
had infused. It shed its skin
twice a year, each in Spring and
Autumn, new rattle appearing at
each shedding Of the skin, which
explodes the popular notion that
but one rattle comes a year. The
other morning the DR.. took the
case and placed it in the sun. From
the effects of the sun three of the
young snakes died. Two others
became stupefed but recovered
their vitality on being removd into
the shade. The circumstances of
the oirth Of the young snakes, and
the time Of the captivity of the old
snake. attracted large numbers of
visitors to the drug store to see the

Be Gentle at Home.

There are few families, we ina
gine, any where, in which love is
not abused as furnishing the license
for impoliteness. A husband, IA
ther or brother, will speak harsh
words to those he loves best, simp-
ly because the security of love and
family pride keeps him from gat-
ting his head broken. 1t is a shame
that a man viii speak more than
impolitely, at times to his wife or
sister, than any other female ex-
cept low and vicious one. 1t is
thus the honest affections Of a mans
nature proves to be a weaker pro-
lection to a woman in the family
circle than the restraints of society,
and that woman usually is indebt-
ed for the kindness and politeness
of life to those not of her own
house hold. Things ought not to
be so. The man, who, because it
viii not be resented, invects his
spleen and bad temper upon those
OF his own hearth stone, is small
coward and a mean man. Kind
words are circulating mediums be
tween true gentlemen and ladies at
home, and no polish exhibited in
society can atone for the harsh Ian
guage and disrespectful treatment
too often INDUCED in between those
bound together by Gods own tie OF
blood, and still more sacred bonds
of conjugal love:
The words apply with equal force
to both sexes.

Some years ago a fashionable
church was built in Boston, the
basement of which was used for a
business house. It was customary
for the minister to read ali notices
left upon his desk, before com
mencing services. One of the
apartments below was used fer q
drinking saloon, and some one de
signed to give a gentle hint, wrote
the following Poetical quartette, and
laid it upon his desk, with the re-
quest that it be read:
There is 3 spirit above, and spirit below,
A spirit Of love and spirit Of woe;
The spirit above is aspirit divine,
The spirit below Is n spirit Of Ssiat.

Redwing his arm.
"Riglit this way, Tom" said his
father smiling ali over. "Now,
Parson Bliss, here they are. Mar

Nanny Redwing smiled proudly,
as she looked up into Toms hand
some face. And he smiled too, but
with a very different meaning.
Father, this is not according to
our agreement, said Tom.
"WeH, you rogue, I didn't speak
about it; but I supposed you would
not care. Go on, Parson."
"Bnt, father, want but one wifi"
Captain Margate started aghast.

At this the old man 5 rheumatism
took a new hold of his legs, for they
refused to support him, and he fell
back into his chair, amid the shouts
of laughter from his guests, who
could not restraia their mirth and
joy AZ the trick which Tom had
played 50 neatly.
"Your promise, young man." de-
manded the old captain, sternly.
"It shall be saeredly kept" said
Tom. "Once is all 1 care about I
marrying Fanny"
Light began to break in upon |
the old mans mental vision, and |
when he fully realized how easily |
he had been 6utwi, ted, he could not
help laughing with the rest.
"Tom, 1 always knew you were
a sly dog" said he. "sYoH got me
this time, and I owe you one. I'll
pay you too, you rascal. Now, /
where is this woman that you don't
want to marry but once? Any port
in a storm, you know, my friends"
Fanny now stepped into the room,
and took her place at Toms side.
The old captain could fail to see
that his son had lost nothing by the
exchange, excepting the wealth.
"Ehere are the Redwings?'' he
asked, looking about the room.
Left for home, " replie.l the foot

Grnmblers at Newsnaners.

Horace Greely hits the nail on
the head when he says: 1t is
strange how closely men read the
papers. We never say anything
that anybody don't like, but we
soon hear Of it, and everybody tells
US about it. If, however, once in a
while we happen to say n good
thing, we never hear of that-no-
body seems 20 notice that. We
may pay some man hundred com
pliments and give him a dozen
pufs, and he takes it as a tribute
to his greatness, aud never thinks
OF it-neyer thinks it does him any
good. But if we happen to say
anything this man don't like, or
something that he iInagines is a re-
Election on him or his character, sec
how quick he flares up and gets mad
about it. All our evils are duly
charged to us, but we never, appar-
entity, get any credit for what good
we do.

We are often asked "what kind of a Leg
islatuIre have we? n We answer by saying
that, in the main, it is composed mostly of
young men-men who, until now, never
occupied a seat in deliberative body; and
yet we venture to assert that, as whole,
no ADLER Legislature ever assembled in
Tennessee.
Going to the House we find Maj. Rich
ardson, young man less than thirty years
old, discharging the duties of Speaker in a
manner which not only does him honor,
but which would have also reflected credit
upon James K. Polk, John Bell and other
distinguished speakers of the lower House
of Congress in days gone by.
Coming to the floor of the House we find
an array of ability. In our own represen-
tatiye, Hon. +. p. Frierson, We have one of
the most talented de6aters in the State, and
who is ever ready to watch the interest of
the State. The same may be said of Till
man, Harris, Spears, Gift, and others we
might mention, a- s-z -.-f Er
Besides these debaters we have another
class of members-sOlid men-men who
make no display but always manage to vote
right, in order to protect the interest of the
people OF this class We place at the head
the ''far1ner fioater," from Bedford and Ruth
erford, B. G. Fields, than whom no nObleI
man ever lived. '.' r.-
Going to the Senate we find Gen. Jno. G.
Vaughn in the chair, as Speaker, and thus
occupying the second office in the State.
His very looks show him a man of ability
aud of goodness, and the people may be
sure that he discharges his duty ably and
well. ...-..-
On the floor of the Senate we have Pat
terson, our own Senator, Tharpe, Clarke,
DuBose, Merritt, Sewer, and other able
men. Upon the whole we have an able
Legislature, and ourreaders may be assured
Of it.
