EEGRaEs FLaCKgaG TO KANSAS.


81. LOUIS, Jan. 27.-The tide of ne
gro emigration from the South has set
in again. About hundred arrived
upon the steamer Scudder Sunday and
left for Kansas, While IS many more
came by the steamer John B. Maude
last night. All of these people have
some money, and come chiefly from
East Baton Rouge, La; Washington
county and Grenada, Miss. Those who
have arrived say there are many more
to come, and are waiting on the banks
of the river for transportation as thick
as rice birds in field. A colored man,
acting as agent, has sent to the Relief
Committee list of 500 families, who,
he says, wish to come North. Within
a few days'some 700 "exodusters" have
reached st. Louis. About 500 are now
in the city awaiting aid in going on.

opponent, Grant, Blaine, Sherman or

built himself cabin on the bank of the
river. He had no object, no desire now,
but to see the Spectre. For this he
watched many long years. Slowly he
saw the town increase from few houses
until 1t covered many acres and became
the home of a numerous people. He
saw the stacks of mighty industry rise
and heard the scream of the locomotive
as 1t swiftly coursed along its iron track.
All this, and much more, he saw, and
saw 1t with Indifference. He held little
intercourse with the people and told
none of his vigil. But he still waited
and watched faithfully.
Old age came upon him and he felt
with joy that he had not many more
years to live, yet he never ceased his
vigil. Time passed. A terrible flood
was raging. John could scarcely make
his way to the shore, but he managed to
hobble there at last. He stood near the
spot where Juliet had stood, SO long ago,
and looked over the boiling waters. He
looked again. What did he see 7 At
last at last he saw the spectrel lie
could not believe it. He rubs his eyes,
1t floats nearer-yes-no-ye it is it is
1T comes still nearer, no, it is not it. 1t
is only three children. They are afloat
on some drift, they cry, they hold out
their hands imploringly toward him.
He cannot see them float by without an
fO fu r,lI
gone. He felt young again and in a
moment was bufeting the waters. He
reached them and taking the younger
in his arms gained the shore. Again he
entered the water and again landed with
another. His strength was failing but
fearlessly he plunged in the third time !;
he reached the drift with great effort
and again started for the shore. 1t is
hard work. His strength was almost
spent, but heroically he struggled and at
last fell exhausted on the land. He had
done noble act, and behold, his reward
was at hand, for at last he saw the
spectre canoe.
No mistake this time. The canoe
moved on the waters rapidly. 1t was
approaching the place where he lay, but
there was only one in it, and it was a
woman. She sat in the stern and guild
ed the boat with a silver paddle. 1t
came nearer and nearer; he could see
her face now, and she smiled on him.
He knew that face, it was Juliet's. She
steered the boat close beside him and
paused for him to enter. He tried to
rise and fell back corpse, but his spirit
leaped aboard, and with Juliet, it sailed
away on the sea of the hereafter.

THE PArrER OF THE sHINeLE.

When the angry passion gathering in mothers
face see,
And she leads me in the bed-room--gently lays
me on her knee
Then know that will catch it, and my flesh
in fancy itches
AS listen to the patter of the shingle on my
breeches.
Every tinkle of the shlngle has an echo and
sting,
And thousand burning fances into active be-
ing spring
And thousand bees and hornets meath my
coat-tail seem to swarm,
AS listen to the patter of the shingle, oh so
warm.
In splutter comes my father-whom l sup
posed had gone
To survey the situation and tell her to lay it
on;
To see her bending o'er me as 1 listened to the
strain,
Played by her and by the shingle, in wild
and weird refrain.
In sudden intermission, which appears my
only chance,
say "strike gently, mother, or you'll split
my Sunday pants;"
She stops moment, draws her breath the
shingle holds aloft,
And says: ;" had not thought of that, my son
just take them offs
Holy Moses and the angels cast thy plying
glances down,
And thou, oh family doctor, put good soft
poutice on;
And may with fools and ounces everlastipgly
commingle,
If ever say another word when my mother
wields the shingle.

For THE TIMES.
The Spectre of the Susquehanna.
BY CLAY CORDERI.

THE shades of night were deepening
L and gradually effacing the shadows
left by the departed sun on the Susque-
hanna. 1t was peaceful evening in
October, and all nature serenely lay
EMBODIED in the hazy atmosphere of the
Indian summer. The evening was
beautiful, and so was the scenery in this
particular locality. To the east lowered
the Half Falls and Berry's mountains,
now of an azure hue, while to the south,
the Cove mountain loomed up to the
height of thousand feet, and stood
guard for many mile over the smooth
flowing Susquehanna, until, the blue
Juniata, adding her aqueous volume to
that of her sister, they together wend
their way toward the south through the
channel, which, in ages past they had
hewn for themselves through the proud
mountains. To the north and west
stretched the forest, now dressed by the
autumnal frosts till they rivaled the
rainbow.
1t was at this point, near where the
Juniata empties into the Susquehanna,
that there stood large stone house in
the long ago. 1t was strongly and sub
stantially built, and early as it was, it
had been already standing for some
years.
This evening it was lit up early
Hardly had the first star appeared before
tallow dips smoked and sputtered in
every room, and,by their flckering rays,
serenely tried to illumine the scenes of
hustle and confusion reigning within
and without the house.
Every one was in hurry, even Jack,
who, because of his provoking slowness
had been called the racer, for once,
quickened his gait. And well might he,
and all of them, be excited, for this was
a great occasion. For the first time in
the history of that section of the coun-
try, there was to be an apple butter
boiling, of apples raised and cider made
in the county. This was to be a big
