WEAVERVIILE, CALIFORNIA SATURDAY, MARCH g. 1878.
SCANDAL.

Breathe it forth gently,
Pamper it we'll
Let not the world know it comes
Steaming from He'll
Hide its enormity,
Shield it from harm,
Lest its deiormity
Bring you alarm!
Soft lot your voice be,
Downcast your eye--
So in their tone or glance
None can decry
The unut,crable meanness
That in them roll,
Staining tho clcanness
Of somebody's soul
Be sure that you are not
Forgetlul to say
1t was but rumor
You heard on the way
But yield it with glittering
Fossils of art,
Lest you would be frittering
Some OF its smart.
Shrug up your shoulders
Is something behind
The tale you have whispered,
Which you cannot find?
BE certain to yield it
Thoroughbred glances,
So the hint as you WELD it,
Lose not its chances.
1t is only n heart
A strange pulsing thing,
On which your foul breathing
Its torture can fling
The pure soUI., however,
Beyond earthly grudge.
Is past your endeavor,
And-God be the judge:

tears glistened in her eyes. Seeming in
consistency, but most easily explained.
She and both believe that God called
he1 to this duty, a duty we both regard
as heroic. Grieve we may that we do not
meet, and yet wo rejoice that God has
thus honored her. No selfish feeling
prompts either to falter, nor arc we in
this more unfeeling than the mother who,
with binding tears. bids farewell to her
darling son, called in the service of his
country to the field of danger-with this
difference, that with us it is the higher,
the nobler, the holier duty to God. But
have you ever thought of the struggle
such life involves-its trialsq That to
be fitted for the sphere, tho neophyte
must, in she heyday of youth, when life
is vivid with its most brilliant illusions,
forsake kindred: friends, leave home of
refir ement, perhaps even of luxury-not
for glory, for she hides even her name to
take that of a religieuse; not for money,
for she gives of her own wealth-but for
the love of God, to devote her whole life
to tho rescue of the unfortunate harlot,
that the latter may be changed from an
outcast hero to an angel hereafter7
Whether its aim or its managers be con-
sidered, can there be q nobler work of
charity than that promoted by the Good
Shepherd"

SOUTHERN LABOR.
{Memihis Appeal.)


In a very interesting article, the Balti-
moro Gazette shows that notwithstand-
ing the statistics which go to show the
rapility with which the negro racc is
declining in the cities of thu South, the
amount of agricultural work accomplish
ed by the same +: ce in the rural districts
shows fine vitality when they remain
on the plantations or keep small farms Of
their own. A comparison of the cotton
coops raised during the most prosperous
period of slave labor with those Of the
past three or fotir years, shows that a vast
deal more of work is accomplished under
freedom than under slavery. The aggre-
CRATE crops of the eight years preceding
the outbreak of the war amounted to
the crops of the past eight years aggre-
gate tEirty-one and 4 half million bales.
These large aggregates sufficiently estab-
lish the superiority OF the present labor
system of tho South to that which pre-
coded the war. Moreover, it must be no.
ted that in addition to the large cotton
crop larger erea of land was cultivated
crops represented n vast amount of hard
work, and this work was done chiefly
by the negroes. And it goes to show d
vigor and industry on the part of that
race in the country that may make up
for its losses in the towns. There was y
period of great disorganization in the Ia
Dor system Of the south. There Tas
vii frna1 f0 ha
the right to be idle. But the have been
finding out that it meant freedom to work.
In the twelve CT thirteen years that have
elapsed since the termination of the war,
q half generation has passed. The little
boys of thirteen years hgo are the stall
wart w,rkers of to-iay-men who have
grown up accustomed to free labor, ac'
customed to making contracts for their
own labor, and learning gradually to re-
spect those contracts. They have learned,
too, the value of industry and steadiness
as affecting wages. In many cases they
have contracted for n certain share of the
crop, and thereby have a direct interest
in its success. And large numbers of ne
groes own small farms, and cultivate
small crops of cotton; and many of these
mickles make a mllckle. These facts arc
interesting in a politico-economical
sense; they are interesting, also, as indi-
cations of the continued existence of the
race, where it is not exposed to the de-
structive intluenses of city life. 1t may
be able to bear the lossos incident to su-
hurban sqnalor and vice by its growthin in
the rural districts.

a Calico Party,

The entertainment given by the Z. B.

out the pike last Friday night, was a
grand affair on small scale. There
were about twenty couple present, all of
whom seemed Us though they were there
TO enjoy themselves. The affair was got
ten up for calico party, but had we not
known it we would have most undoubt-
eddy taken 1t for an elegant dress party,
as the calico dresses worn by the ladies
were OF the best material and tsstefully
made. The young ladies certainly de.
serve much credit for the taste displayed
in arranging their costumes.
At II o'clock supper was announced
and the procession, formed by the COM
pany, filed down to the banqueting room
in the basemen, of the hotel, where q
splendid repsst had been spread. 1t
seemed that all the coed things of the
season had been spread upon the table.
Everything that healthy appetite could
desire was found there, in fact Mr.. StSmm
surpassed himself in furnishing the sup.
per. The rattle Of knives and forks,
blended with bursts Of gIrllsh lsugh-
ter, was kept up fully an hour.
after which the party returned
TO the ball room, where dancing was
kept up until 3 late hour Josie Kramer
