4 Hundred Years from Now.

Where, where will be the birds that sing
a hundred years from now
The flowers that now in beauty spring
a hundred years from now
The rosy lip,
The lofty brow,
The heart that beats
So gaily now ?
O, where will be Loves beaming eye;
joy pleasant smiles, aud Sorrow sigh
A hundred yeats from nowl
Who'll press for gold this crowded street,
A hundred years from now2
Who'll tread yor church with willing feet
\ hundred years from now ?
Pale trembling age,
And frey youth,
And childhood, with
Its brow OF truth
The rich, the poor, on land and sea,
Where will the mighty millions be
A hundred years from now
We all within our graves shall 2leep,
a hundred years from now2
No living soul for us will weep
A hundred years from now2
But other mel,
Our lands will til,
And others then
Our streets will fill;
While other birds will sing as gay,
As bright the sunshine as to-day,
A hundred years from nov ?

A NEGRO'S ESTIMATION OF RAD
ICALS AND CARPET-BAGGER ERS
"A "BLACK DEMOSTHENE ES."

Tie following is an extract from
the speech of Henry Boyd, a colored
man, delivered at Carrolton, Miss,
He has been called "black Demo-
crat," and is evidently negro Of
good hard sense
"And the carpet t-Baggcrs came
here and tell us they are our friends,
and the Southern people our enc
mics. They tell us they set US free.
Oh yes they've done it all, no doubt.
They set us free about like they set
the mules free. Immense laughter
and applause.] They done it all to
help the yankee and to injurc the
Southern man. They can't fool this
nigger. l know who brought the
nigger to this country in the first
place. The Northern man brought
us here, and when they began to
loose money on the niger, they put
the nlggerin their pocket-sold him
down South, and then to keep the
South in the Union; to make pay
taxes, they turn around and get the
niger, and the mules and spoons
free aud they would not have set
anything free excepting the spoons,
If they could have got the South
back into the Union without it.
They promis him the "forty acres
and the mule, and know five mig
gers that starved plum to death
waiting for that mule and forty
acres" Laughter.
I'd like to know where the car.

You all know the devil tSok the

promised if he wonld fall down and

For the Pamela Star
Woman'S Rights.

Mr. EDIToR | have scarcely read
a paper for the last few years, from
any part of the United States, that
| have not seen something about
woman's rights. AT first | paid no
attention to the subject scarcely
ever giving more than II glance at all
articles so headed--but the subject
has been so porsistehtly thrust upon
the public through the organs of com
munication the prcss) that | have
taken the alarm and sound the bugle
to rally a force Of light-mindcd wo-
men to fight against a cause 50
'raught with evil.
Let us enquire, who are the women
who have raised this clamor for and
inscribed upon their banners equal
rights with men. | am happy tosay
they are Of Northern birth. They
are from that cold, calculating region
where sclf-intercst is the great mo-
tive power, the lever upon which all
their actions turn--frorn that land
Of isms and frauds. No warm South
ern blood flows in their veins. The
sunny South, let her sins be what
they may, has given birth as yet
to no race of Amazons to disturb
her domestic poace--nonc who 60
from town to city lecturing, stump
speaking and raising the demon gem
orally. Lycurgus, as q wise law
maker, committed one great error
when he dragged gentle woman
from her sphere and trained her to
rival men in deeds Of valor and all
the vocatiops of life. The bad ex-
ample so set has slumbercd for ages,
but has, in the 10Th century, been
resurreeted from the grave Of the
past by such women as Mrs. Stanton
and her colleagues upon the boards
Of this then undiscovered country the
farce is to be repeated, to the shame
of the Christian world, to the ever
lasting disgrace Of America.
But the question has been asked,
even by the Southern ladies, why
cannot women vote, make laws and
so forth, when such privilcges.are
delegated to ignorant negroes? La
dies, dc you set up plea upon such
q basis as thisg Because ono great
wrong has been committed, is this a
reason why still greater should be /:
Do you not see daily the injurious
effect of this measure? Is not youl
country in mourning and sack cloth
over it? Because ignorance aud
superstition have been Invested with
power, must you step from the lofty
pedestal where gallant men have
placed you, range yourselves beside
it and contend for the same privi,
legcs? Alas! my countrywomen,
dark will be the day when this revo-
luton is forced upon you! There
will then be a social eclipse so black
that the eye Of prophecy capnot
penetrate the gloom and foretell the
end.
Suppose, forthe sake of argument,
ladies wore allowed equal rights
With men, are they qualified to gov
ern? / say no--neither mentally or
physically are they prepared tocon-
tend for principles and power
Their physical organization istoo
delicate to come in contact with the
rough places in life, and they would
return from political campaign
worse torn and battered than one
ofthe old battle-Aags which had seen
severe service. Their sensitive ma
tures would shrink back abashcd,
