I think the intellectual and moral
connections of, sleeping have not beer
sufficiently appreciated. Men and BOYS
have been praised for ..burning the

THE NINE sU1ToRs.

- -a
A British ship at anchor lay
In the harbor of New York;
The steyedores were packing her
With Yankee beef and pork.
Nine slim young men went up the plank,
And they were tall and good;
Blu none of them had ever loved,
They said they never would;
But whether they wouldn't, 8&1
Or whether they couldn't,
Or their mothers said they shouldn'k
The world will never know.
The passengers were all on board,
The vessel got up steam,
And fioated own the river, like
The-ah-something OF dream.
A pretty girl came up Oh deck
And near the railing stood;
She never loved a felow-man,
And said she never would; ~
But whether she couldn't
Or whether she wouldn't,
Or her father said she shouldn't,
The world will never know.
The nine young men stood in q row,
Each trying not to stare,
The lady looked embarrassed, and
They offered her a chair.
The nine young swells were very rich,
And 1t was understood
That each of them could marry
Whatever girl he would:
But whether he couldn't,
Or whether he wouldn't,
Or the lady said he shouldn't,
The world viii never know.
So things went on as usual,
The weather soon grew thick,
The mine young men were gallant.
She certainly was charming.
When they brought her dainty food
I'D eat it all now really
And truly If could"
But whether she couldn't,
Or whether she wouldn't,
Or her stomach said she shouldn't
The world viii never know.

Freight Car Couplers.

Connecticut has the honor of being
the first State to enact law requiring
railroad companies to use safety couplers
on freight cars. Massachusetts Joined
her in this humane movement and the
probability Is that the necessary legisla-
ton will be passed in the near future by
several other States. Governor Foster,
Of Ohio, in his message to the sixty-sixth
assembly said "Upon these railroads
there have been killed during the past
year 372 and injured 954 persona. OF
those injured 656 we're employees; of
these employees that were injured 346 or
IS per cent. and the II were kill.d were
10 the act OF coupling cars. There are
$3.50 .brakemen in Ohio. From this 1t
appears that one brakeman in every eight
suffers yearly by personal injury while in
the act of coupling cars, and many
otherss suffer DEATH" This great suffering
by this class of bold and hardy laborera
urges upon the railway management the
great necessity of securing some means
for their alleviation. s

A SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE.

Here let me give you an incide mt that
occurred In our sister State of North
Carolina. A surgeon.dentist, n man of
position, ability and unquestioued integ.
rity,. lived within that broad swathe of
desolation cut by the Federal army in its
victorious march. He afterwards came
to Columbia and from him heard an
account of the shameful outrage.
Years had passed and Columbia, rising
from her sackcloth aud ashes. had cloth
ed herself anew in the beautiful and
strong garments of energy and enterprise.
We had accepted our trials as part of
the fortunes of war, and were disposed
to forgive if not to forget.
Conversing one day with DIR. G., our
dentist, he expressed an undying hatred
for the men who had caused him so much
grief.
"lf anybody" said he, "ha,es the
wretches who followed Sherman's army
more than | do, it ia because his capacity
for hating is greater than mine. This is
strong. language, but am justified in
using it. When Sherman's army passed
through my place in North Carolina,
some of his camp followers, in their
greedy search for treasure, entered the
graveyard, dug up my dead children,
opened their collins, aud left their bodies
exposed to birds and beast, less vile than
they. Tell me to forgive them Never |!
Ny outraged dead, with their mute lips,
cry nut agains. it The decoration os
all the nameiess bones of my country.
mea, iea TO ble&ch on ouE hi;lsides aud
valleys, forbid it. Every instinct of my
manhood is hatred towards those human
iackals.n

MORRISON proposes to crowd his bill to vote ID the Lower House to ''see what Democrats will dare to vote against it, and thus openly ops pose the principles of the party" Nov, the above IS not entirely cltar as to what IS meant by principles of the party" but we should infer that it means, from the language used, that Democrat must vcte for Democratic measure if 1t endorsed the devil, or Tn other words it is voting against Democratic princi> pies to vote in opposition to the will Of it's leaders.
