A Negress' Rare Voice:

Sunday night st. Pauls Episcopal
church in this city, writes New Or
leans correspondent, was crowded to
overlooking by people congregated there
to listen to the evangelical teachings of
Rev. DR.. Aiken, the distinguished Eng
fish missioner. The scene as presented
was one not often witnessed in New
Orleans, for, crowding good M.
turedly and without apparent friction
against each other in the pews and
isles were representatives, colored US
well as white, of every social class and
almost every religious denomination.
The softcning influence of religious fer
vor seemed for the once to have broken
down and swept away all social barriers
and race distinctions. A hymn was
given, and before the tluttering leaves
of all the hymnals were stilled a flood of
rich concerted music swept across and
filled the vast sanctuary. 1t seemed
for q moment rs if the whole congrcga-
ton was singing in one voice. Then
one pure soprano Of silvery, bird-like
quality sent its tlutc-likc notes of sur
passing sweetness above the very crest
of the song wave. Instantly every head
in the congregation was turned or bent
forward to discover the source of tho
mclodious tones. For not a little while
the singer remained undiscovered, save
by those sitting near her, and when ut
last she was singled out, she went OH,
seemingly unconscious of the attention
she was attracting, singing her heart
away like an llncagcd lark. The singer
was a young and exceedingly modest
looking colored-woman, who at one
time sang in the choir of the little COL
ored church recently sold and disman-
tied at the corner of Pritania and CALI
ope streets. Such voice is seldom
heard, even in our city of song.

The Unsound Melon.

Two country lads came ut an early
hour to a market town, and having ar
ranged their stands, sat down to wait
for customers. One was furnished
with fruits and vegetables of the boys
own raising. and the other supplied
with fish. The market hours passed
along, and each little merchant saw
with pleasure his store steadily decreas-
ing and an equivalent in silver bits
shining in his little money cup. The
last melon lay on Harry's stand, when
a gentleman came by, and, placing his
hand upon it. said:
''What a fine melon! What do you
ask for it, my boy?"
The melon is the last l have, sir;
and though it looks very fair, there is
an unsound spot in it," said tho boy,
turning it over.
$50 there is" said the man; II think
I will not take it. Butt he added,
looking into the boys open countenancc,
sis it very business-like to point out the
defects of your fruit to customers?"
at is better than being dishonest,
SIR" said the boy, modcstly,
"You are right, my little fellow; al.
ways remember that principle, and you
will find favor with God, and man also.
l shall remember your stand in future.
Are those fish fresh?" he continued,
turning to Ben. Wilson's stand.
eyes, sir, fresh this morning;
caught them myself" was the reply,
and purchase being made, tho gentle
man went away.
Harry, what fool you were 10 show
the gentleman that spot in the melon!
Now you can take it home for your pains
or throw it away. How much wiser is
he about the fish l caught yesterday
Sold them for the same price as dit
the fresh ones. He would never hav.
looked at the melon until he had gone
away"
"Bcn., l would not tell lie, or ACT
one either, for twice what have earned
this morning. Besides, shall b, better
off in the end, for have gained q Gus
toner. and You have lost onc.''
And SO it proved, for the next day the
gentleman bought nearly all his frui,
and vegetables of Harry, but never
spent another penny Mt the stand of hi
neighbor.

III l..t- ~ l.si, IN
Poor Reason tles her best to rule,
And keep "a honest grip;
Yet men Van sometimes play the fool,
And give their wits the slip.
Let Judgment caution or condemn,
And Conscience still cry "Nay."
Sweet Fancy sings her song to them,
And gives tlla heart Its way
Its own delightful way
In spite of all that Thought can do;
In spite of Judgment, tried and true;
And all Experience ever knew
The heart will have its way.
So Nature wills it-old aud young,
The wisest and the best,
Have caught the stratus from Passion
tongue,
And felt her sweet unrest.
'Tis well to be of human kind
To own dear Natures sway;
For, midst the din. cold realms Of mind,
The heart would lose its way
Its own delightful way
In spite of Wis;tonl's happest rules;
In spite Of sagcs and Of schools:
In spite of reason, we're hut fools
The heart will have Its way.
Sec wonder child, by Nature led,
No rule Of life to guide:
See Prudence with her thoughtful head,
And manhood in its pride
All run in pleasures needless race,
And after folly stray
AT every age, in every pace,
The heart will have its way
Its own delicious way
In spite Of all the head can do:
In spite Of Judgment, tried and true;
In spite Of sad experience. too,
The heart will have its way.
Alas! for him WHOSE heart is dead
To every generous beat;
No love light on his life is shed,
No sympathy he Ii meet.
'Tis better far to give the price
That fools to folly pay
Be men in everything but vice,
Aud give the heart its way
Its own delightful way
In spite of Wi>,lon's golden rules;
In spite of sagns and Of schools,
We're all but erring. love-sici fools
We give the heart its way.

The Madison Democrat thinks that
the rebuff which Hon. f. B. Wash
burne gave the maligners of General
Sparks has had good effect. The
Democrat says:
1.-The war on Gen. Sparks has ceased
since the chilling blast that swept
down the fusileers from Hon. L. B.
Washburne. The political towards all
know that Mr.. Washburne knew as
much about the general land office and
the corruption in the department as
any man in this country, and further
that his republicanism was equally as
well known as his enmity to official
corruption. When he charged the gen
eral land office with having for a dozen
years been the most corrupt depart
ment of any in any government on the
face of the earth, he knew just what
he was SAYING, and as that was
under charge of his own party he
would not exaggerate. When he said
he had watched carefully the course of
Gen. Sparks and approved it, ne did
not do it for party purposes by any
means; but because it was right.
Since this double geared thunder clap
struck in the ranks of the land thieves
and their organs there has been a
silence that would indicate that the
whole gang had been killed outright.
No, they are not killed outright;
and as soon as they fully recover their
breath they will make as much noise
as ever. Not only will they renew
their vicious attack on Gen. Sparks,
but we would not be surprised if they
attempted to besmirch Mr. Washburne
himself, for having honesty and cour-
age to say a good word for a con
scientious government official who is
striving to do his duty in the face Of
most vindictiye opposition from those
who are thereby prevented from en-
riching themselves at the public eX-
pense. All honor to Mr.. Washburne
for his manly words. And if on ac-
count of these words the land grabbers
should yillify him they would only en-
dear him the more to the hearts of
the honest citizens of the country. All
good citizens desire the enforcement
of the laws having for their object the
protection of the public lands for the
use of actual settlers.

Whether Mr., Gray is correct in his

one thing IS certain that the agitation
Is bound to prove injurious to tobacco
growers. In the first place it is sheer
folly To talk about the present congress
increasing the duties ON tobacco or any
other article. And in the second place,
such increase would not bring the re-
