gan regiments, they advanced into the
woods until they heard something drop.
The regiment bumped up against in.
trencl ments and were subjected to
tremendous fire. Before going into the
woods the regiment was "drcssed" an
on parade, and the Colonel rode out and
exclaimed:
Men of Massachusetts,! the eyes of
your country are upon you"
There was grand yell, and they
went in to conquer or die. After fifteen
minutes desperate fighting, they re,
turned from the woods to reform
behind the supports, Among the last
was an old man. lie had thrown away
coat, hat, gun and all accoutrements,
and he was badly dcmoraized. As he
passed the left flank of a Michigan
regiment, in line Of battle, wag called
out

Three for u Quarter.

A preacher had quite an experience
the other night. Shortly after supper
the door bell rang, and a couple, evi.
IDENTIFY from the country, were admitted.
They explained that they desired TO be
married, and summoning the family,
the good man speedily united them in
the bonds of wedlock. A hurried de-
parturc followed, the happy bridegroom,
in the excess Of his Joy, emitting to any
further renumcrate the minister than to
vocally express his thanks. Not even
time was given the occupants of the
house TO muse over this state of affairs
before another ring announced the ar.
rival of a second couple on like errand,
The ceremony was performed, and they
too went out no poorer than they en-
tered. While thinking very intently
upon this remarkable coincidence and
state Of affairs, third couple were
ushcrcd into the room. Matters were
getting desperate, ard before entering
upon the work of the occasion the min
lister minated that it wa1 usual, under
such circumstances, for the gentleman
to express his thanks in substantial
manner,

pie hardly thought Of questioning the
right and proprl,ty Of human slavery
than they did Of questioning the right
and proPricty OF the confinement Of
criminals. Every nation that sent
chips to America sent cargocs of slaves
with them. Down to the middle Of the
last century it did not attract any
extraordinary attention in England to
have Parliament asked to grant = sub

America in the same way IT now giants

Concealed Weapons.

The New Orleans barkeeper who was
shot and killed by negro lost his lif,
for about as small reason as any on rec
ord, the quarrel between the two men
having been over ten cents. Probably,
however, the real cause of the crime
was the fact that the murderer carried
pistol. TO the rcprehensible and gen.
orally senscles5 habit of carrying con-
cealed weapons, is to be attributed
more than half the murders that occur.
Men who quarrel have seldom any hest
tation about using any weapons they
have at command. When their entire
armory consists of fists and tongues,
the latter are likely to do all the bust
ness. for to strike with the listmay bring
n harder blow in return; but the pistol
at short range is 50 safe and effective
that the hand literally itches for it, and
thousands of quarrels have proved that
even among gentlemen, the nero habit
of carrying arms is just as likely to re-
suit disastrously as ii one party To ads
pute were n barkcercr and the other n
negro.

BE Wise in Time.

The excess Of our exports over I'M
ports is rapidly falling of. IT is already
$50, GOO, 600 less than last year, at this
date. This is rot Il pleasant statemcn;,
but as it il true it ought to he msdc.
The lesson it teaches is individual
economy. Whoever buys only what he
actually reeds, and has the money to
pay for, will not suffer from the fnan,
cial s;ringcncy that will be very likely
to come again in a few years. He who
buys more than he needs, and runs in
debt for his luxurics, will almost in
evtably suffer sooner or later for his
folly aud extravaganza.

A White Infant Turns Black.

About sixteen months ago child was
horn TO John Saller and wife, of Phlla-
delphia, which promised to develop
into robust man. He was a beautiful
child, with fair complexion, dark eyes,
and silky, dark brown hair which grew
in prorusion. But in few days the
parents we're alarmed at a remarkable
change that was coming over the enid
tie gradually grew dark. At first his
akin became pale yellow, then deep
ened into a saffron hue, and then, to the
terror of the parents, grew darker yet,
The color was uniform all over the body,
except at the joints, whereit was little
darker and in the palms OF the hands,
where 1t was lighter The once brown
hair grew stir and jet black, and the
eyes also grew darker, 30 that the line
between the pupils and the iris could not
be distinguished. in spite of medical
treatment the boy became worse, and
grew very weak, all the time the color
Of his skin deepening. At last hcbc'
came rs black rs a (ull.blOoded negro.
Then he was attacked by commissions,
which grew more frequent and violent
until they threatened the child's life.
1t was in one of these that DR.. Reynolds
was called in. He succeeded in curing
the spasms, and then devoted his atten,
ton to the strange disease which afflicted
the child He at once recognized it a.
meIaaosis or augmentation, which is
,on,innod in the hooks i'm a general
way, but there Is no case given where it
had developed all through the body.
This was over sixteen months ago, the
child being then thirteen months old.
Since then the boy has greatly inn
proved, by degrees becoming lighter
until now he Is of n light chestnut
brown color. Since DIR. Reynolds has
had the case in charge the child has
been visited by over 200 physicians.

Gent evidence t, show. a hunt was
organized among our young men,
who went, but could find no trace of
his having been about for several
days, and it was generally believed
that this tramp had spent not more
than twenty four hours in our
swamps, and had gone away to parts
unknown to us. The little excite
mcnt consequent upon his presence,
was rapidly subsiding among the
whites, when it was caught up by
the colorcd population, and d'ticn it
