seriously, we understand.
The hay-makers in this vicinity have
had rather unfavorabIc weather for
their business for the past few days,
though it has proved very beneficial to
all other crops. The sweet, musical
pit-a-pat of rain drops, greeted our cars
on the morning Of July 10, and what a
welcome sound Il was. Rain continue
ed falling most of the time throughout
the day and night and also part of the
day, following. How refreshing it
seemed; every sprig and leaf lifted its
face to catch the pearly drops, and we
fancicd they smiled with happiness and
delight. What wonder, when they
were suffering so greatly for want OF
rain. Sunday this locality was favored
with several thunder showers, all of
which was very welcome.
The rain caused a sort of epidemic
among the fishermen of this vicinity
and "everybody and his brother" had
to try their luck at the art. We are
told that some of them met with good
success. L. S. Richardson, for in.

Did yoa know that way up in Peru
there existed two men, by names G, NJ,
and ", J, Fmnm, with their families
with Welcome written oyortheir doors,
always glad TO receive all their sisters,
cousins and amtsy Among the many
who have visited the latter named, we
see Mr., ~ Mrs, Wall and daughter,
Mrs, Silas Wright and daughter from
Arlington, Mrs. Burritt from Wyo-

Mir. SCHUYLER Cutler, nephew of Mrs,
Il c, II, Famum, having spent four
weeks on the Green mountains, return
elk to his home in Boston, Mass, last
Saturday. We all enjoyed his stay
with Us and only hope, he win come
again.
Mr.. o. p. Mugdick. wife, daughter
and son also gave us u short visit; long
enough, however, for US to enjoy day
at Lowell Lake.
With Charles as leader, we started in
the cool of the day, sixteen of us and
not sleepy one in the crowd, arrived
at the landing and found, after a care
full inventory, that our party were all
there. IL Schuyler hadn't been II Bicy-
clest, we must have left him in the
ditch. The wagon showed an unusual
shaking up, bat we didn't complain as
long as the catablcs were all there, We
spread the tables, which our genial
friend, Hilton has SO kindly supplied
for piruickcrs, and paltook of both Il
hearty and hasty dinner. \ boat was
next in view. which soon carried away
fourteen of our party, leaving two TO
amusc themselves for time; but, as
amuscmcnts are plenty, they were soon
found in the Bowling-alley, practicing
for a game when the rest might join
them. Their game was to beat, which
they very successfully did. Finally all
made themselves at home and joined in
every sport, swinging, bathing, billiard,
croquct, and fishing were all enjoyed,
and last but not least was the beer re-
ccived from the hands of the blacksmith
and our friend Schuyler. Aud all ready
to start for home, ride of seven miles
took as thoroughly dusty crowd as you
would often see, bui if there was any
fun there we didn't find, we are willing
to return any fine day.

How vain are thoughts that wing the soul
But lift it not to pureSt light!
Like gorgeous sunset clouds they roll,
Then fade across the hill of night.
How weak the deeds for which the soul
Still seeks to Suothe her restless State!
Like mighty waves they toss and roll,
And beat in vain at heavens gate.
We look across the wastes Of life,
Nor yet our straining eyes discern,
Beyond the languor and the strife,
The perfect peace for which we yearn'
It comes upon its silent way
In breath of noon or starlight hOur;
It soothes us with subtle sway.
1t lifts us with Il boundlesS power.
From all the beauty we have known
A fresher light of beauty springs;
With purer gladneSs freer grown.
The soul within us thrills and sings.
That peace of God! Each restless dead,
Each daring thought, at last must die.
God knows the vigor that we need, ,.
God knows the peace forwhlch VIC sien'
In some still hour when self is not,
And some unknown vast power,
Our wayward folly is forgot
We yield, and then our soul IS Tree.

AS against this view, it has been frequently
urged that the large number of mulatt0S Of
all shades disprovcS amy assertion of race an
tipathy on the part Of tn" whites. This at
first looks like a very strong ngunsrntum al
h0minenl, but Oh q closer inspection il will be
found to support the assertion; for, as Prof.
X. Il. Grccnrr, himself Il fair mu!atto, says, in
all such cases the white man has been the
miSccgcEationi<t and the negro woman the
flcilc victim; and the offspring Is proof not OF
the uttractivcncSs Of the n"grcsS in the white
mans eyes, as Frederick Douglass would have
us to believe, but only OF Il convenience. There
may be isolated eases of intermarriagc. but
they will never bctOlrn Il race movement.
The lnua!toS form Il fringe of baStardy on
the great negro r;lcr-:l sim of degradation OF
the white man and of no elevation in the ne
gro. That fringe, SO broad under slavery, will
gradually but surely grow narrower in Il state
of freedom until it will become an almost i'll
visible Sclva.c. And it will be we'll for both
races when it shall wholly disappear. The
mulatto class hiss supp lied nearly all the stir

do not like to consort with the blacks, ana
they cannot make their way into the society
of the whites. Hence the too frequent but
quite natural bitterness and Indignation in the
breasts of those people. The blacks of Haytl
have suggestive proverb about the mulatto:
ale hates his father and despises his moth
cr." He can be of little use to either race, ana
the sooner he vanishes out Of sight the better
for both. am glad to believe with Prof.
Grccner that the signs Of the times betoken
his disappearance.
What is the conclusion Of the whole matter! =!
Emigl alton, migration, intermarriage, ,eXtinc-
tion-there is no hope in any nor in all OF
these. The two races are
DESTINED TO LIVE TOGETHER
in the same country, under the same laws.
Can they live together in peace? Can there
be political union without social fusion? Can
there be propinquity without hybridity? Can
there lie naturalization without amalGama-
ton?
Without being too sanguine, I feel that1 can
answer EYES, if only the people of the North
and the people Of the South will let the negro
alone to work out his own civilization-to
live out his own history. TO South and North
alike would say,
