The President was recently approached
by Republican Congressman "a colored
man), who desired to obtain his ideas and
opinions as to the adoption of the civil
rights bill. Much to the establishment of
the member, and of all the colored men who
have heard of it, the President expressed
himself as decidedly opposed to the bill.
The colored men say the President has broken
every promise made to them during the
campaign two years ago, and that the de-
feat of the civil rights bill is due to his in
fuence,

From the New York Evening Post.l
A mere girl;
-=-= One coarse curl =
Falling on her shoulder;
Pale her cheek,
Her lips weak,
But her eyes were holder.
She no saint
Glazing paint
Daubed on every feature;
Candy dress
All could guess
A poor fallen creature.
For no good
There she stood;
No one passing near her;
Space kept wide;
Dress aside,
Women seemed to fear her.
Carriage crashed,
Horses dashed,
There was wild confusion
People cried,
Terrified
At the mad intrusion.
Mid the crowd,
Shrieking loud
In voice of terror,
A mother wild,
A little child,
Lost by some strange error.
All twas there.
Its head bare,
Mid whose whirling forces,
In the street,
Meath the feet
Of the maddened horses.
Though all heard
No one stirred
Death would be the winner
One brave eye;
One sharp cry;
Twas the painted sinner!
Quicker then
Than the pen
Could tell half the danger,
She risked her life,
Mid that strife,
To save little stranger.
And ! thought,
As caught
A glimpse Of her pale features,
Mid the stains
Still remains
Some good in these poor creatures ;
And that we
Should not be
SO eager aye to shun them,
If we can
Greet the man
Whose wrong hath undone them. S.

A writer in the English Churchman's Maya

10 by Montgomery. II by Heber, 9 by New

A youth called George was engaged to be
married, but was financially unable to call
in the minister. His afianced wanted the
affair brought to finale, but George kept
putting her off with promises, saving he
was not able to marry ETC., etc. Finally
she said, "Deah Gaug, am willing to marry
you, if we have to live on bread and water"
"Well, we'll" cried Gauge, in desperation,
+" you furnish the bread, and I'll try and
skirmish around and hunt up enough water"

MARR1AGE.-The following are the
opinions of three prominent ladies on
the subject of marriage:
wharfage is to len a state of
slavery; it takes from her her own prop
erty, and makes her submissive i'll all
things to her husband. "-Lucy Stone.
"Marriage is state of slavery Aye,
but the bonds are silken and easily
worn. Marriage is the sanctifer Of
love-an institution which acknowledge
ed the right of women to be protected,
and the duty of man to protect her.
The offices of wife and mother are not
those of slaves. What higher destinies
beneath the skies than to instruct the
infant mind in thoughts Of purity.i
What holier mission than to soothe the
turbid torrent of mans passion by a
works look-a smile 1t is to wo-
man that this work is given. Woman,
in her vocation, may clieer the tired
spirit, may lend hope to the Responding,
may whisper love to the lonely-while
men may toll and traffic, and fuss, and
fret, and grow savage. Who would
exchange places with him ?"-EHa
Ueniporih
81 would by no means persuade you,
or any other woman, to prefer single
life. 1t is not the primrose path.
Nothing less than spirit of meekness,
or self.renunciation of benevolence, can
make woman who has once been first,
happy in subordinate and second best
position. And this under ordinary
circumstances, is the highest place of a
single woman. Depend upon it, my
dear young friends, it is safer for the
most of us to secure all the help to our
virtues that attend a favorable position;
besides, married life is the destiny that
Heaven has allotted us, and therefore,
best fitted to awaken all our powers, to
exercise all our virtues and call forth
our sympathies. / would persuade you
that you may be the cause of happiness
to others, ard of course happy to our
self-for when was the fountain dry
when the stream continued to flow 7 If
single life, according to the worst
view of it, is a moral desert, the faithful
in their passage through it are refreshed
with bread from Heaven and water
from the rock. ."-Miss Ssdg,oick.

A WRIsKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF HoR-
sEs.-A short time ago We met gen.
tleman from Illinois who gave piece
of information in regard to ascerlaining
the age Of horses after they have passed
the ninth year, which was new to US,
and will be, we are sure, to most of our
readers. 1t is this After the horse is
nine years old wrinkle comes on the
upper corner of the lower eye-lid, and
every year thereafter he has one well
defined wrinkle for every year over
nine. If, for instance, horse has three
wrinkles, be is twelve, if he has four, he
is thirteen. Add the number of wrin-
kles to nine and you will get it. So
says the gentleman, and he is sure it
will not fail. As good many people
have horses over niue, it is easily tried.
If true, the horse dentist must give up
his trade.-Eeid and FIeside.

Mr.. Allen Ferguson, of Amsterdam,

his pleasure, and to crafty that inordi-
nate social feature of Tuckahoe charac-
ter yet glowing in her own heart, de-
termined to give him a party, which
she did by inviting seven of Aliens
school-mates to dine. Of the eight
school-boys thus brought together, AL
len was the youngest, the other seven
ranging in age from IS to IS years.
Among other topics discussed at the
dinner table, that of longevity was in
troduced, and it was the united testimo-
ny of the party that most of our modern

of Rockbridge county, Va They took
Mr. Greeley's advice and "went west"
