The Many and the One.
BY W. M. L. JAY.

BY W. M. L. JAY.
In the sky a cloud hung high,
And it said, ''How bleSt am l.
All my breast is full of dew,
And my home is in the blue,
And the SunbeamS tint me through !'
ECiive mel" walled the earth.
Melted by the piteous call,
Gave the cloud itself-its all.
Where it hung, the sunbeams fall.
In the garden rose tree,
And it tlaughed, "Oh! fair to see
Is this fruit so ripe and fine,
Red ano golden that dsth shine
Through those bright green leaves of mine T.
"Give me!' saiG the man.
Low it bent its gracious head,
All its gold and all its red tz-s
Meekly in his hands it shed.
At her humble cottage door,
Sat a woman old and poor
Thinking,-"Thus far am led,
Never yet wanted bread;
Need now the future dread ?'
''Give, me !' begged the tramp"
And she gave-the best she could,
Cup of water-bits of food
Kindly smile and counsel good.
On his throne, the Lord Most High,
Said, serene, "What joy have I,
With the glory that was mine,
Ere the planets knew to shine,
Or the clay held breath divine ~
"Give met" moaned the world.
And he observation-disclosures,
Passed through suffering as through fire,
So to meet the worlds desire.
In his hall the rich man stands,
Saying, "Lo! these heaped-up hands!
have all that can hold 5;
/ have houses-1 have gold
"Give me 70 signs the poor.
He-he Only-calm and cold,
Shuts within a tighter hold
Houses, lands, and store of gold.

for them to assume that they might do
on a small scale what their leader Kel-
logg had done on large one?
Can a people, who have just such
knowledge as the Tribune tells US the ne
groes, have, be justly denounced as so ig-
norant as to deserve massacre and exter-
mination on the ground OF their hopeless
ignorance and degradation
How base is the attempt of the Tribune
to lead the people of the country into a
belief that the Republican party in the
late Presidential campaign in Louisiana
were careful to array the negroes against
the white population There is not a
particle of truth in the assertion. and
that claim cannot be used to justify the
wholesale slaughter of colored men at
Colfax. The four million negroes of the
South acted and voted in sympathy with
the white people of the North and with a
goodly number of the white people of the
South, they were thus arrayed on the
side of the white people of the country
and with the white people secured the
success of the Republican party. The
argument of the Tribune is simply justi-
fcation of political assassination, and be-
longs to an age of barbarism. The col
ored men in the court house at Colfax
were there as the sheriff S posse, and
were officers of the law under govern
ment held bv the Supreme Court of the
State to be the legal government; they
were there to execute the laws notwith-
standing who might be offenders against
them. Under the constitution and laws
of Louisiana black men are eligible for
just such positions as they were holding
at Colfax, and the fact that they were
acting in accordance with law, is suffi-
cient answer to the falsehood of Liberal
papers that they were attempting to ex-
terminate the white race. The truth is,
that the whole affair was inaugurated by
the Liberal McEneryites for political cap
ital; and, as the people of the South pri-
or to the rebellion, were led to believe
that the Democratic party of the North
would give them substantial aid and COM
fort in the event of their striking at the
life of the nation, so the McEneryites are
led to the belief that the countenance
and support of Northern Liberals will be
extended to them in their murderous
warfare against the negroes; and in this
belief they are strengthened by the New
York Tribune, and journals of less inf1u-
ence.

The Dead Mariner.
BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.


Sleep on-sleep on-above thy corse,
The winds their Sabbath keep
The wave is round thee, and thy breast
HeaVeS with the heaYing deep:
Ger thee mild eve her beauty filings,
And there the white gull lifts her wings,
And the blue halycOn loves to lave
Her plumage IN the holy wave.
Sleep on-no willow DER thee bends
With melancholy air;
No violet springs, nor dewy rose
Its soul of love lays bareS
But there the sea-f1ower, gay and young,
Is Sweetly DER thy SlulnberS flung,
And like weeping mourner fair,
The pale flag hangs its treSSeS there.
Sleep on-sleep on-the glttering depths
OF oceans coral caves
Are thy bright urn, thy requiem
The music of its waves;
The purple gems forever burn
In fadeleSS beauty round thy urn.
And pure and deep as infant love,
The blue sea rolls its waves above.
Sleep on-sleep on--the fearful wrath
OF mingling cloud and deep
May leave its wild and stormy track
Above the place of sleep;
But when the wave has sunk in rest,
And now, twill murmu DER thy breast,
And the bright victim of the sea
Perchance will make his home with thee
Sleep on-thy course is far away,
But love bewails thee yet;
For thee the heart wrung sigh is breathed,
And lovely eyes are wet;
And she thy young and beauteous bride
Her thoughts are hovering by thy size,
As oft she turns to view with tears
The Eden of departed years.

BIZ PHILIP FRASER.

Now I stand upon the border,
Looking to the farther shore,
To the region where Time ceaseth,
Where begins the Evermore;
Striving with my mortal vision
To pierce through the miSts between,
To behold the Fields ElySian,
Waters still, and pasture green.
Reaching forward to the loved ones,
Waiting Just beyond the tide,
Clinging TO the loved ones near me-
Loving loved ones, at my side:
Hesitating If to linger,
Fearing, trembling to go DER,
Till appears Deaths index finger,
Pointing to the EYermore.
Now seem to hear their voices,
Seem to see their forms of light,
Calling, shimmering in the dimneSS,
DimneSs dark ming into night.
0 the void, the aching sorrow,
These have left within my breast,
Hopeless, but that some tomorrow,
Find me with them in their rest.
Jesus, Lad me through the valley,
Give me comfort midst the gloom,
And the full assurance give me,
AS my feet draw near the tomb,
That these loving loved ones near me,
When they reach the farther shore,
Shall be gathered, not a lost one,
To that blfSSful Evermore.

The following anecdote has outlived
its early youth, but it still reads well
John Phoenix tells the story that he was
one day leaving San Francisco by the
steamer. Everybody else was taking
leave of friends-but he did not know a
soul in the crowd. Ashamed of his lone
illness, as the boat sheered off he called
out in a loud voice Goodbye, ColonelP'
and to his great delight, every man on
the wharf took off his hat and shouted,
Colonel, good-byeP

it is that "drowing men catch at straws.h
We don't know that they do. We have
seen number of gentlemen drown, but
those of them who had any preference at
all, seemed to be prejudiced in favor of q
plank. We don't remember ever being
asked for o straw by a gentleman who
was drowning. and it is just as well, per-
haps, because we never carry one with us.

From the New York Observer.l
Mrs. Brown.

The allusion to Mrs. Phoebe H. Brown,
in the Observer, touched chord in many
heart that loved this gifted woman 1t
must be a source of universal regret that
her beautiful twilight hymn" has not
been given to the world as it came warm
from her glowing pen. The introductory
stanza so fitly precedes the words which
followed it, that pity t were" they were
ever separated, as the second verse was
originally written:
"I love to steal awhile away
From little ones and care,
And spend the hour of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer"
From a number of verses DR.. Nettleton
selected only enough for one hymn and
many were left out which, for pathos and
Christian sentiment, were not behind
those selected. Among the rejected or
omitted verses was the following:
81 love to mediate on death,
When will its summons come,
With gentle power to steal my breath,
And watt an exile home?"
Mrs Browns letters and her prose writ
ings are full of interest. Her devotional
feelings were awakened and found ex-
preston not only at the twilight hour,
but at the dawn of day. Not long before
"Life's toilsome day was o'er,"
she wrote to friend: II have risen be-
fore the light that may have quiet hour
for communion with my God and Savior.
"Angels sang Creations story,
Morning stars the strains prolong;
But Redemption's IS brighter glory
Now demands q nobler song"
How little does the Christian world, even,
prize and estimate the value of the
blessed Sabbath as a rest to the soul f!
There is something so soothing in its
quiet and its freedom from the ordinary
cares of life which give time for silent
thought and high communion with Him
whose resurrection it commentaries" I"
etc.
AS Mrs. Brown had written morning
hymn and an evening hymn, not long
before her DEATH her old friend, Mr..
Lucius Hart, requested her to write a
MONDAY hymn, which might be used at
the Fulton street prayer meeting
Though extremely feeble, dwelling then
in the Border Land her warm Chris
tian heart responded at once to the re-
quest, and she wrote:
'tJesus, this midday hour
We conSecrate to Thee
Forgetful of each earthly care,
We would Thy glory see"

Susax II. ASTuoNY's Thai. - Ihe
ease Of the United States against susan
b. Anthony, indicted for voting IN viola
ton Of the law at the city Of Rochester
Ny, last November. was called in the
eipcui, court Of the United States at Can-
aslaigua, n. Y. yesterday. The disiin-
ruished defendent personally appeared
ia court. accompanied by Mrs. Matilda
S. Page and other ladies, and was repre-
seated By her counsel, Henry X. selden
and John Van Voorhees, of Rochester.
A jury was impaneled without difficulty
. Mr.. Selden testified that he advised Miss
Anthony, before the election, that she
bad legal right TO vote, and on that adj
vice she voted. The court refused to
hear Miss Anthony in her own defence,
the district attorney Directing to her tes-
tifying. Very little evidence was given
the act of voting being admitted, as we'll
as the fact that the defendant was wo-
man. Mr.. Seldcn, in an exhaustive argu
ment, occupying yearly tbree hours 10 ITS
delivery, euunciating three PROPOSITIONS
First. that tho defendant was legally
entitled to vote at The election in question
second, if she was not so entitled, bat be-
lieved that she was 50, and voted in good
faith in such belief, such voting does not
constitute a criminal offence under the
statute third. that she did vote in such
belief and in good faith. &c said that
the two first questions were for the court.
aud the last for the jury, unless the court
should consider il so clear that the defend.
ant acted in good faith as TO leave nc
question for the consideration Of the jury.
Mr.. Seljcn insisted that the time had
como when the civil and political rights
of women should be placed On a perfect
equality with those of the men.
The court declined to submit the case
to the jury uron any question whatever
and directed them to render a verdict Of
guilty against the defendent. Mr.. Seldeu
then requested the clerk to poll the jury,
which request was denied, and verdict
of guilty was rendered. The defendants
counsel took exceptions to the decree and
action of the court, and insisted that up
or the construction given to the decree,
there had been only a violation Of the
state law, and that the United States had
no jurisdiction. She was sentenced to a
fine OF 800, and stand committed until
paid.
Judge Hunts opinion maintained that
the amendments in question do not con-
fer the right Of suffrage where it does
not already exist. The question as to
who shall vote is determined in each
state by local law. The decision of the
supreme court of the United States 10 the
case of Mrs. Bradwel settles the point
that these amendments cannot be con-
strued as sanctioning claim of this char
acter. Miss Anthony acted intellgeutly
She knew the law aud the facts. She
made this test case in order to settle q
principal, and she must abide the cousc
qucnees.
