cAMPAIaN Song.
BY n. D1cKERMAN-

we viii sing you song for our own native
land,
Where the minions OF Bacchus hold sway
Now IN battle array like militant band
Yet their faces betoken dismay.
We are armed TO the teeth with the weap-
And win never surrender the field!
We will battle for God with the vigor OF
yoath,
They have turned a deafear to our suppliant
prayers,
our petitions have treated with scorn;
But our Father above had witnessed each
tear
Ofour sisters and mothers forIorn;
Not In vain have we toiled, not in vain have
they wept,
Not in vain are our votes for the right;
God has counted each tear, he has heard
every prayer,
And is guiding his own In the fight.
Let our foes understand that the slime is at
hand,
Which shall Danish their whiskey and
Let their wrath ovefiow for their own over
While our hearts are eIate with good cheer.
ain the sweet bye and bye" which is surely
Like ava angel Of light, 10 command
Redemption complete from our bondage to
For our homes and our own native land.

Lincnln'R Iokn

A story of Mr.. Lincoln is picked
out of an old file of a southern news
paper, published at a date when the
suggestion had more point than can
now be readily understood-when, in
deed, it looked very much as if Rich
mond were not going to be brought
inside of "Old Abe's" lines.
1t is related that gentleman from
some northern city entered Mr.. Lin
coins private Office in the spring OF
1862, and earnestly requested pass to
Richmond.
"a pass to Richmondp exclaimed
the president, "why, my dear sir, if I
should give you one it would do you
no good. You may think it strange
but thers's a lot of fellows between
here and Richmond, who either can't
read or are prejudiced against every
man who totes a pass from me.

two hundred thousand others passes

He Corrupted His Master.
Southern Bivouac.

l A well-tO-do old far1ner in one OF the
best counties in Middle Tennessee
owned a large number Of slaves, and
among them one old darkey about his
own age, and whom he had known all
his life. In fact, he was one OF the aold
family negroes" brought out from
Virginia. Old @Sam" was faithful,
docile creature, n great iavorite with
his master, and a sort of privileged
character ON the plantation. The old
fellow was industrious and exemplary
in his behavior all the year round ex-
cept during the period dating from
the time when roasting ears began to
/ ripen and the earliest appearance OF
frost Sana was invariably seized at
that period with an invincible desire
to arun away" 1t required as regular
/ liz as a fit Of hay-fever, was as incurable,
and like that unpleasant disorder could
only be treated by change of air and
locality. Sam, understanding this,
preferred taking his case in his own
hands and administer the treatment
in his own discretion. OF course, in
such case, the usual punishment in
/ fllcted on runaway niggers' was not
TO be thought OF. Ramonstrance was
unavailing Sam declared ~He jes'
couldn't help hisseli," and it became a
settled and understood arrangement
that he should go, and that the neigh
borhoods should condone his raids on
cornfields and potato patches. Alter
many such escapades, his old master
! asked him on one occasion, when the
matter was under discussion
Sam, do you really enjoy running
away ?"
"Deed, Marse john" said Sam, Il
does. Hits de moas' fun in de wurP.

swell, then" said Marse John, "just
let me know The next time you take a
notion to start, and I'll go with you
and try it awhile myself"
Sure enough" in due season Sam
came up, saying:
sole Marse, de times mighty nigh
when 'bleeged to lite out. Ell you're
gwine wild me, you better be gittin'
ready, for when de time comes | got

"Ole Marse" kept bright look out,
and when Sam started he was on.

They had delightful time They
fished occasionally, caught possums,
robbed orchards and watermelon and
potato patches, picked blackberries for
recreation and haunted the greenest
and shadiest hooks OF the forest, all of
which Sam knew well. sole Nurse"
had never enjoyed a summer so much.
In fact, he was so much pleased that
regularly afterward he accompanied
Sam when the latter wont into animal
retreat. At length Sam died. The old
master grieved for him sorely. He
was sad also over the reflection that
his summer pastime would in future
be denied him. But to the amaze
ment of all his friends, and not less his
own, when roasting-ear time came
again, the fit seized him as strong as
ever and he ran away by himself.
