Little ThinlS,

IN oar needless rush through this busy
world we are apt to forget the countless
little things or if We do think of them We
pass them by unnnticed not attaching to
them The Importance which is due them.
apparently forgetting that
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land
This life in fact is made up Of little
things. diminuilve and insignificant
though they may seem. yet all are but
parts of one stupeudous whole. A care
ful observance of these little things is
what makes our lives successes or failur-
es Not day passes but what we can do
something to tighten the burden and
make the lif. of some one happier than
it otherwise would have been. A kind
word or look or smile will accomplish
wonders. Why pleasant countenance
will diSpel a gloom of almost impene
: trabe thickness How true it is that kind
words never die hut that the memory of
them Will be cherished in the heart as
long as life shall last. They will be as an
alabaster box full # precious ointment.
The same is trne of the harsh voice and
the angry words which are its accompi-
meni.
The remembrance of these will bite
like serpent and sting like an adder.
How careful we should be of our
thoughts. our words and our actions.
that we may have only pleasant reccllec-
iionS upon which to reflect. This life j
full of It's cares tolls ard miseries. We
should always he ready with kind word
e"r the errin.. IA word of comfort for the
,rnnhl,d. pleasant words for those who
have become moroSe and i'll natured in
this great warfare of life. Genie words
for the ruIe and boisterous. words of
Greer for The sud and forsaken. loving
wor,.> and fond caresseS for those who
are nearest and dearest to us.
But stop not at gentle words.
Let deeds with language dwell.
The child that fosters starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs as well ="
What you keep by you. you may
change and mend; hut words once >pok-
en- can never be recalled. 1t would lie
well for us to remember the old ada:e
"riink tSic ali speik once" Then We
would not be so apt to wound the feel
ings of Others by unjust criticisms and
Unkind words. for he who avoldeth moi
small faults. by little and little fallelh in
to greater
The extent of the silent Influence
which we exert over our friends and
C,mpani nS is due largely Ia the little
characteristics which make up our daily
life
The neglect of little things is the rock

ALBANY, n. Y. October 30.-To-day IN
ALBANY county Democrats and Repubh-
cans are talking Of uniting 10 purge the
registry lists. Subcommittee designated
bv the campaign committees of each party
met this afternoon to talk the matter
over Telegram ~ N7c York H,rdd.
That is what was done in Virginia last
Saturday; aud is the bugaboo which ha.
caused MALONE SO much of II fright that be
has got QUAY TO bring LANGsToN back to
Virginia. The negro no doubt gained a
victory. QUAY has promised him seat in
the House OF Representatives, and MALONE
has endorsed for QUAY. All this we infer
from tho following special to the New York
Herald:
COLUMBUS. O.. October S0.-Mr. Quay
tclegraphel that Langston must return 20
Virginia. and having no option IN the mat
ter. Mr. Langston left for Washington to-
night.
Mr. Langston's return is supposed to be
in accordance with the desire of the Ma
tional Committee and General Malone to
cover the stories that LangstOn had been
run out OF Virginia on account of his color.
Mr. LangstOn will Teenter the Peters
burg district. where II is thought that he
can control four or five thousand votes for
Malone.
Now let the Democrats Of the Fourth
district work hard. MALONE is ON the run.
lie is alarmed at the prospect Of certain
defeat. Otherwise he would never have
knuckled to LANGsToN.

Intimidation.

We have from the first warned the Nir-
cinia election-ofiicerst that the Federal Gov
eminent has nothing to do with our cleo
tions. Mr.. LYoNs's letter published by us
Yesterday cites the cases in which the SUI
preme Court OF the United States rendered
decisions the effect Of which was TO make
null and void the sections Of the United
States statute-hw which the Mahoneites
RELY upon 10 aid them in their unholy at
tempt 10 humihatc Virginia and her OH
GERS and 90 get unlawful negro voters regis
tered. Section 20J7 Of the Rerisod Statutes
Of he Tuiied States undertook TO do exactly
what MArowr is now seeking TO do in Viz
cinia. Tina; section provided in effect that
fla negro tried to register and was unlaw-
fully prevented he might vote anyhow.
But the Supreme Court says. Not so. The
States regulate Tint matter SO that sec
ton is no longer law.
Section 2OGJ undertook in effect to make
registrar forfeit 500 10 any negro voter
he might unlawfully fail to register. But
that section is no longer law. The Supreme
Court killed it.
So also sections 5J06 and 5jl9 which m
dertook to provide punishments for soaring
negroes. &c. are no longer III force.

BurTows's Repentance.

Mr.. JULIus Cesar BusRows is an Ethio-
plan who has changed his color. He was a
fierce and fiery advocate Of mixed schools
o few years ago. lie said Of the bill allow
ing separate schools for whites:
Mr.. Speaker. 1 now desire 10 call the
attention Of the House TO that provisO of
the bill which allows the separate estab-
lishment of schools where the local au-
thorities shall so determine. In no event
Can give this pIovisO my support
MIR. Burrows says that he is not nom in
favor of them. He doesn't believe that
the negroes favor mixed schools, so he
says. thereby leaving the impression that
II the NEGROES desired mixed schools he
would still advocate them. Mr. Burrows
may, however. be credited with having re-
pented OF The sin Of demanding that the
white children of the South should be
forced into schools with the negroes. Bet
ter late than mover.
But Mr.. Burrows made no apology in
Petersburg for having denounced the
southern people ~ follows:
Wrongs the most cruel. ostracism tho
most malignant, crimes tho most revolt
ing, revolutions tho most unproyoked.
