SAD EYES.
OInenS.

A writer long ago, Elizabeth Oakes
Smith, | think, wrote of "presaging
eyes," those in whose brightness
and depth lurked a foreshadowing
Of sorrows to come; Of the tears
that they should shed. Perhaps
there ale such, indeed we fancy we
have seen them more times than we
like to think. May God keep us
from the foreshadowing unless it be
also preparation. Looking down
the dinner table to-day, there met my
view so many sad eyes-One pair
close on my right, that always bring
up the words Of the Holy One
"Woman! why weepest thou ?"
Only that yesterday her husband, of
whom she is tender and careful, came
to the table with very red face and
an odor Of strong drink about him,
the question was answered. A little
farther down sat an invalid of many
years; a maiden lady wearied, pro-
badly with much pain and her eyes
showed it. But beyond her sat
young wife and mother, Of only p
years; animated and cheerful in con-

sTONING A "NIGGER.

1t is we'll known that there are human
beings so constituted that they can find
amusement in the sufferings of the weak
and unfortunate. One species of this
class is made up of those whose self-re-
Spect and superiority of social station
can be maintained in no other way than
by inficting personal violence-usually
in the most cOwardly way-upon some
member of the human family whose skin
happens to be of darker color than
their own.
In this class seven young raScalS who,
for the honor of the American navy, we
are glad to say are not, by reason of a
failure to pass their examinations, mem
bers of the Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis, stand pre-eminent, and these are
their names: Young, of Mississippi;
Butterfield, of Kansas; Lockett, of
Georgia; Rowan, of West Virginia;
and Mum, O'Keefe and Gridley, of
New York. These young gentlemen
i'll part made up for their failure as
scholars by stoning Conyers, negro
boy, who likewise, it is now reported,
failed in his examination.
We have no sentimental feeling on
this matter because Conyers has black
skin. We believe that the negro must
take his chance" with the rest Of us,
and so long as the laws do not make
unjust discrimination against him he
has no ground to complain of his posi-
ton. But when seven young men unite
in stoning any other single person they
one and severally ought to be taken to
Delaware and soundly flogged. A de-
cent punishment is altogether above
their deserts. If the facts are as given
we hope that the Navy Department will
devise some suitable punishment for
their cowardly brutality.
