The glorics of summer bavc gone by ;
the beautiful ereenness has become
withercd and dead. We're these all
were there no associations Of moral DESC
ation-of faded hopes---of.hcarts with
eriug in the 5oscms Of the living-con-
uccted with the decaying scenery around
us, We would not indulge in moments
melancholy the season of flowers will
comc sgain-the streams will low
gracefully as beforc--ihe trees will
again toss their cumbrous heads Of
greenness to the sunlisht-and BY mos
sy stone and winding rivulet the COM
Ing blossoms will start up at the bid
ding Of their guardian. But the human
heart has no change like that of nature.
II has no returning spring time! Once
bl;ghted in its hour Of freshness, it bears
forever the mark OF the spoiler. The
dews of affection may fall and the gen.
tie rain of sympathy be lavished upon
it, but the stone root OF blighted feel
ing will never again waken into life. nor
the crushed flowers Of hope blossom
with. their wonted beauty.

No Cclored Troops In Ohio.

The Adjuiant General Of Ohio,
Republican of course, has got into trou-
ble with the colored militia. and few
days ago disbanded two Cleland comve-
panies and took away their arms. Their
emphatic protest against this unexpected
outrage" has led to a curious and sug-
gcstive discovery. 1t seems that tho
last Legislature, Republican, Of course,
passed bill to reorganize the militia.
An examination Of The new law shows
that by its provisions only "wLite male
citizens are authorized to form military
companies in Ohio-which leaves the
black brother entirely out Of doors, SO
far as the soldering business is con-
ccrned. The colored people argue
very sensibly. we think--that this un-
generous discrimination could not have
been the resut Of accident, but that the
law was constructed for the express
purpose of enforcing the "eolor line"
in the militia. Their Genunolations Of
Republican inconsistency are loud and
dep, and will take practical shape in
the next election.
Suppose, suggests the St. Louis Re
publican. this little affair, had trans
prcd in Mississippi instead Of Ohio.
aud been the result Of Democratic IN
stead Of Republican legislation, what a
howl would have gone up from every
Republican paper in the land What
multitudinous changes would have been
rung on the white liners" the "Ku-
Klux," "the prejudice of caste" "tlie
rebel ruffians," and other familiar bloody
shirt war cries. Now, We suppose, the
Republican organs will call it "mis-
take" and hasten to express their worth.

Poor Girls,

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them they
have been taught to despise labor and
depend upon others for living and arc
perfectly helpless. If misfortune comes
upon their friends, as it often docs,
their case is helpless. The most forlorn
and miserable women upon earth is Of
this class. 1t belongs to parents to pro-
teet their daughters from this deplora-
bic condition. They do them great
wrong when they neglect it. Every
daughter should be taught to earn her
own living. The rich as we'll as the
poor require this training. The wheel
of fortune rolls swiftly round the rich
are very likely to become poor and tho
rich poor. Still to labor is no disad-
vantage to the rich and is iDdispensa-
bic to the poor. Well.to.do parents
must educate their children to work.
No reform is more imperative than this.

The Battle Fields.

The battle fields around Richmond
are quiet meadows now, reclaimed by
Nature, with few signs of the days IF
"blood and iron" At Cold Harbor, Fair
Oaks, Seven Pines, and Malvern Hill,
one sees but little to remind him Of the
terrible scenes enacted there twelve and
fifteen years ago. In the woods and on
hill>ides and river bluffs in the Penil-
sula, where no attempt has been made
to cultivate the land. sloping earthworks
are still to be seen, but elsewhere tho
entrenchments have been levrlled. Be-
low Petersburg there are but few traces
even Of such formidable for;ifcations as
Stcadman, He'll ani Damnation. The
Crater and the fields around it are owned
By Nr. Gritiiths, who was born close by.
aud was in Petersburg when the mine
was fired. lie has built house near
there, and now has his fathers farm un-
der excellent cultivation. The Crater
itself has been left almost untouched,
and a thick underbrush of peach trees
and sprouts has sprung up from the pits
thrown away By the soldiers during the
siege. The ravine where the dead lay
in great heaps on that terrible morning.
has been brought under the plow var
after year, until now only slight de-.
preston in .be field can be pointed out.
The visitor has to pay twenty-five cents
for glimpse Of the Crater, and the IN
terror of a shed stocked with battle
rclics.-New York Tribune.

NUMBER %
Bound to Sing.

Brother Glover was pretty big man
in certain old Connecticut village. He
would swear n little sometimes. bit
when he subscribed fiv. hundred dol
lars towards rebuilding and re6tting tic
Old church, that special act of charity
covered multitude of sins.
Brother Glover had big voice.
There was no time or tone in it, but he
beloved as he pleased in church sing
ing. When the church was finished
it had to be dedicated, and choir was
carefully trained to do the singing.
Brother Glover was not one Of the choir,
and the intention was to rule him out
of the singing exercises.
The choir had carefully rehearsed a
new dedicatory hymn, and everything
was ready Tor the interesting ceremO-
mics. The church was crowded. and
Brother Glover was in his place in u
front pew, as large as life. The new
piece was struck up, and Brother Glow
cr's voice rose above the organ. There
was pause. The organ and choir were
mute, and tile latter mrd. The minis
ter looking at fly on the ceiling ex.
planned that it was a new piece which
the choir alone lad practiced, and re-
questcd the congregation not to join in
the singing.
The piece was recommended, and
agaiE Brother Glover's biz voice broke
it up. The preacher then fixed his
eyes on Brother Glover and requested
him to keep silence during the perform
ancc Of the new piece, which he did not
understand, and brother Glover, looking
at his beloved pastor, with his big,
round eyes, replied in a big voice
"Look-a here, Mr. Barnhart, l paid
five hundred dollars toward repairing
this darued old gospel box, and by thun-
der I will sing"
The preacher gave up, and go did tie
choir.

Scope Of q NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper is winnow through
which men look out on what is going
on in the world. Without q newspaper
a man is shut up in small room, and
knows little or nothing Of what is hap
pening outside Of himself. In our day,
the newspaper keeps pace with history
and records it. A newspaper will keep
a sensible man in sympathy with the
worlds current history. 1t is an en-
folding encyclopedia and unbound book,
forever issuing and never finished. Al
ways bear this in mind, and never fail
to take, and more particularly, pay for
your home paper.-FogeisriM (Pa)
Messenger.

What It Costs.

Those who commit crime seldom look
at more than one eide Of the balance
sheet. Satan always shows the gildcd
side of sin, aud that side only, when ho
tempts men; aud when they are drawn
away by their own lusts, they take into
account only the profit they hope to
derive from an evil course. How 9TH
erw;se could so many intelligent men
cover themselves with disgrace and
plunge themselves snd their families
into sea of wre,chedn,ss for the doubt
ful enjoyment Of i'll gotten gaips. We
wish every young man, and every old
man as well, could examine the balance
sheet.

An Afab 9 Manner.

Much Of the happiness Of life depends
upon our outward demeapor. We have
all experienced the charm of gentle aud
courteous conduct; We have all been
drawn irresistibly TO those who are obi
ring, affable, and sympathetic in their
demaanor. The friendly grasp, the
warm welcome, the eheery tone, the
encouraging word, the respectful n.aa-
ner, bear no small share in creating the
Joy Of life {; while the austerc tone, the
stern rebuke, tho sharp and acrid remark,
the cold and Indifferent manner, the
curt and disrespectful air, the sLperci!-
ious and scornrul bearing, are responsible
for more human distress, despair and
voc, than their transient nature might
seem to warrant.
