We're.

When night comes brooding DER me
Like n PRISONS dreary cell,
And It's visions rise before me
With dread no speech can tell;
When, alone with my only longing
And the Garkcning spell of fear,
i watch the sad stars thronging
Till the beams of dawn appear;
Then, like some silver chimes,
Come back the old, Old times
The dear old times, my darling,
The living, loving times.
Unslccping, remember
The days that are all gone,
Like June dreams in December,
OF flowers when summers done;
The times that are never over,
For they live in heart ana brain,
And, like kisses from lover,
Their spell comes back again.
Like Il song OF magic rhymes,
Return the dear old times
The old, Old Tins my darling,
The living, loving times.
This is my lone life's treasure,
That none can take away
Remembrance without measure
OF every vanished day.
OF love-light round me streaming,
OF tender lips and eyes;
Awake lie, yet dreaming,
Nor sleep till day shall rise,
Like bee in blossomed times,
live in those old times
The times, you know, my darling,
The living, loving times.
Cold are The slics above me,
Tho earth is wrapped in snow,
And if still, as then, you love me,
Alas, ! cannot know
Silence between us lying,
Moro chill than winters cold,
Aud my heart like q baby crying
For its mothers wanted hold;
But breathe the summers prime,
Remembering that the time
Though you forget it, darling,
Tic living loy,nr time

lilacs pushed into Alvin's little
room window. Everything had
been kept sacrcdly, just as he had
left it, the fishing tackle on the
wall, the few books on their swing
shelf, the empty squirrcl-cagc on
its nail, and even an old, tattered
straw hat hanging beside it. There
was cookery to busy Patiencc'5
hands; she remembered all her
boys likings, the seed cookies and
fayoIite pies. But when these
were dispatched a great margin Of
time remained, and Patience was
too Un4uiet with happiness to set
down to amy work in the house.
Shc went out into the pine grove,
whore the tassels on the old trees
al wore fresh, new green; the
housitouia and wild columbinc
were blowing at her feet and she
could not help liCti2g up her voice
in deep, glad chant, 1.-The Lord

If the merit of paper is to be estimated
by the ability displayed in its columns,
pleasant variety of matter, industrious col

joined to superior typographical excellence,
then Our Home Journal, of this city, will
maintain high standard in the judgment
OF the people Each number, and especially
the one before US, No. Is of volume three,

The versatility of talent displayed in Or

were the pioneers of the abolition Of AfIi-
can slavery in this country.
Mr.. Douglass then went into a history
of the parties that had fought slavery in
this country, going back to the earliest
DAYS Of the anti-slavery party, when but
few men rallied under its standard, up to
1856, when the Republican party was Or
gsnized for the purpose of resisting the
further growth of slavery, and III 1860,
when the Republican party was blessed
with its first victory under the immortal
Lincoln. After this, and when the struggle
for the Union was successful, came other
struggles 1t was then asserted that this
was white mans government, and that
the negro was not wanted. He was not
wanted as soldier nor as a
citizen. But Mr.. Douglass thought tine
colored man might as well put
in claim as anybody else. He had got
the cartrid ge-box and the ballot-box, and
he is now contending for the knowledge
box. He has not obtained these functions
of the citizen by common consent He has
had to struggle for them. Mr. Lincoln.
whose memory the coiored people would
never cease to cherish, was not at first in
favor of the immediate emancipation Of
slaves. Il was not until after war had
actually commenced and was desolauing the
| land that Mr. Lincoln became convinced OF
| the necessity and justice OF issuing ms
| proclamation declaring slavery at an emu IN
! this country.
Mr.. Douglass then spoke upon the subject
of civil rights. and said that he had not
fully realized the condition of the colOred
people South until he left Washington TO
attend the convention in New Orleans. Inc
indignities that had been heaped upon him
and others in endeavoring to reach here
convinced him that something more had to
be done before the equal rights OF all could
be enforced.
| In conclusion he said: In reference to
this question Of nationality, do not care
