The following occurred during o
big blow on the Mississippi, at the
time when SO many stray RATS
were swamped, and SO many steam
boats lost their sky-rigging. A
raft was just emerging from Lake
pcpin as the squall came. In n
moment the raft was pitching and
writhing as If suddenly dropped
into Charybdis. While tho waves
broke over with tremendous up
roar, and expecting instant de-
structions one raftsman dropped

A correspondent Of the New Or
leans Times thus reports the pro-
cecdings of the Nashville negro
convention: "On Thursday tho
convention was in session for four
hours, the attendance Of whites
and blacks being large, and Pinch,
~ well as Smith, Of Alabama, was
listened to with marked attention.
Pinch launched out with the asser-
ton that the colored people were
beginning to think for themselves,
and would never again vote the
Republican ticket In solid column.
The South, he claimed, could never
prosper while party lines were
race lines. Hc wanted no more
color line politics, but the division
of parties on other than race lines.
Senator Smith, OF Alabamn, fol-
lowed, advising the blacks not to
remain any longer in the Republi.
can purity, but to make terms with
their White Southern friends, and
directed them to vote for honest
and competent men without re.
gard to party, declaring that the
Southern whites were to-day bet
ter friends to tho colorcd men than
the Northern whites who had
found homes IN the South merely
for the purpose Of obtaining Offices

Seymour and Tillen

Ex-Governor Seymour has thus
given his opinion Of the character
of Governor Tilden:
81 am in no way engaged in the
work Of President making, but II
at the proper time it should be ex-
pedient to nominate Mr.. Tildcn, it
would give me great pleasure to
support him for that or any other
position. In the meantime the
Governor il moro anxious to sue
cced in his reforms than for his
personal advancement. His failure
| in these respects would not only
be an injury to him, but a calamity
to the State and nation. Governor
Tildcn has been made prominent
by events in this State, and by his
efforts to check abuses. Tho pc0-
pie turn eagerly toward any one
who tries to lift of the weight Of
taxation, and correct abuses Of ad-
ministration. IIe has been ap-
plauded throughout the country.
This has given him great pleasure,
for all men like praise. But 1t has
brought with it many cmbarrass-
ments, coming upon the eve Of
Presidential canvass. 1t has sub
jccted him to the imputaiion Of
working out good results for per-
sonal purposes. This has led his
political opponents to thwnrt his
measures with view Of lcsscnine
his credit. In this they have made
a mistake. They have helped
more than they have hurt him.

THERE IS no DEATH.

There d no death! The stars 90 oaown
To rise upon some fsirer shore;
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There Is no death! The dust We tread
Stall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit.
Or ninbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewleseair.
There is no teashl The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass aVay;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming Of the May.
Thsre is no deathl An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best-loved things away,
And then We call them ssdesd. -
He leaves our hearts all lesolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adom immortal bowers.
The bird like voice, with joyous tones
Made glad these scenes ofsin aud strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree oflife.
And whcrchc sees smile to bright,
Or heart to pure for taint and vice,
He bears It to that world of light
10 dwell In Paridlse
Born unto that dying life,
They leave us but to come sgain
With Joy we welcome them--the same,
Except In sin and pain
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits treadi
For all the boundless universe
IL life--there are no dead.
