THE ANGELS OF THE HOUSE.

It's said that ever around our path
The unseen angels stray,
That give MS blissful dreams by night,
And quad our steps by day.
"a But there's al angel in the house,
Meek, watchfuI and sincere,
That whispers words of hope to US
When none beside are near;
1t is the one. the chosen one,
That's linked to us for life,
Tie angel of the happy home,
The faithful trusting wife.
Ills said that angels walk the earth
I'm sure it must be So
When-around our path scarce seen by US,
Such bright things come and go.
Are there not beings by our side,
As fair as angels arel
As pure, as stainless as the forms
That dwell beyond the stars?
Yet, there are angels of the earth,
Pure innocent and mild,
The angels of our hearts and homes,
Each loved and loving child.

North CAROLINA OurRAaEs. Abiding
to the arrest OF a number of Radical ne.
groes under the Enforcement Act in
North Carolina, the New York Express
says:
This is the first use of the Ku Klux
Act for the benefit of white or black De-
mocrats, in the South. and singularly
enough, here it is used for the projection
Of the negro against his own race!
If this precedent is followed up in the
Southern States, q third of the black
Union Leaguers will be in Jail before the
November elections these black
Union Leaguers are, everywhere in the
South. instruments Of tyranny. oppres-
sion and alright upon their own race. If
the blacks Of the South were free from
this oppressive fright, they would vote
as white Americans vote, not in masses,
but in divisions. in squads, upon princi-
pie, or, it may be. upon interest; and
pity is, the blacks of the South are not
permitted to see that it is their interest
to divide. not to he driven, as they are
now, like sheep into pens.

THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS IN
ALABAMA.-The following letter has been
furnished the Charleston News by large
cotton house of this city:
2 MONTGOMERY. ALA. July 18, 1872.
The rain continues. I saw q. gentle
man from Selma this morning, and he
informed me that the Oahaba River was
higher than it has been for twenty years.
Inc crops on the river are ali under
water. This river runs through the
cane-brake country. The Warrior River
Is very high indeed; it rose twenty-five
feet In one night. All the crops on the
nver are under water; also the Biebee ia
as as nigh or higher than ever known.
mere ls no estimating the damage from
the flood. The crop is shedding the
forms and young bolls badly from the
ELECTS of the heavy and Continuous
rains we have besn having every day for
ten days. 1t is impossible to give an
opinion about the damages; all the river
and creek bottoms are q total loss. The
fear Is that cotton will shed everything.
and things look very unsatisfactory to
me. The army worm is on us, and no
mistake about the matter; how soon they
may destroy the crop, who can tell? Old
planters say they will destroy the crop
on or before the middle of August. Tue
weather was never more favorable for
them; they are three weeks earlier than
any year since 1868, and fear they will
clean up things in three weeks. The
damage by the overflow is immense in
this State. Thousands of acres are
under water, and have been for four
days. Planters are wearing long faces
this morning. The situ:tion is critical
one with the crop; fully one-third OF the
plant in this State is late. If the worm
should accumulate enough to strip it in
four weeks, the late cotton will make
nothing, and the early cotton is shedding
very badly on the red and sandy up.

A FLAG OF DISTRESS FLYING FROM
GRANTS SEASIDE CorTAaE.-We we're
told by friend who lives near the Man
on Horseback's gift "Cottage by the
Sea" at Long Branch, that rather strik-
ing and decidedly ominous incident oc-
ourred at the aforesaid cottage one day
lust week. The inmates thereof, anxious
to exhibit their loyalty, determined to
run up the Stars and Stripes to the head
OF the flagstaff, and thus fling out their
defiance to the sage of Chappaqua and
the party Of the new revolution. Ao-
cordingly, the flag was brought out, the
ropes adjusted, and the immortal bunt-
ing run up. when, horror of horrorsI as
it was flung out to the breeze it appeared
Union down!
A perfect howl of despair arose from
the terror-stricken crew when they dis
covered their mistake, and 30 paralyzed
were they at the dread augury that they
gazed at it for several minutes in blank
dismay before they finally recovered
Their senses. Then seizing the ropes
again aud cursing the unlucky mistake,
they dragged and tugged at it in such
frantic haste that when the flag came
down it was torn and tattered in many a
fold. Gladly would the dismayed Grant
ties have concealed the ill-omened cir
cumstapces, but there werc too many
spectators of the occurrence for that.
All regarded it as an augury that the
ship which bore the fortunes of Grant
and his Grew had at last run upon the
breakers aud that the flag of distress
was an evidence of their sinking cause.

Flow OF SPECIE SoUTH.-We are
oredibly informed that so. 900 silver half
dollars have been sent from Washington
by the Republican Executive Committee
for use in North Carolina. The wards oi
the nation are greatly tickled by the
jingle Of silver. and their eyes dwell
upon ''rhino" with delight. It is plea
SAINT, however, to note the enterprise
which promises to aid in strengthening
the people of the South for resump-
ton OF npecie payments, even though it
comes from staunch supporters of the
theory that greenback is better than
gold and silver currency. One word of
caution: Look out for bogus coin, par

Radical vignettes. es.-Augustd Chronicle.
