WON'T Vote for buy Mshone.

1 boarded freight train in Win
chester q few days ago on my Way,t0
Strasburg. The only passengers
were two white men and two colored
men and myself. The two colored
men sat together, and an old, feeble
white man sat directly behind themS
Being near them overheard the
younger of the colored men joke
''Old Dick" about making so much
money selling snacks at Cedar Creek
Station and on the cars, but s'old
Dick" denied the accusation. "WelI
uncle Dick, why don't you pay that
jeweler in Middletown that l24 cents
you owe him7 and as Cedar Creek
was reached by this time ''old Dick
jumped off the train. The old man
said to the colored man, would like
to give old Dick 124 cents to pay the
jeweler; 1 won't live long and am
only travelling TO do all the good
can. "La! Massa, 1 was just jok-
ing, old Dick; he don't owe moth
ing" "Old Dick re-appeared. H.
"Snacks, gentlemen! who will have
snack, gents ?" The old white
man replied, "Snacks for two. -
Old Dick handed him a whole chick
en-, cut in two, with plenty of bread.
just quarter, Massa, for all dis
cheapl very cheap, Nasal" The
old white man declined the proftered
snack, as he had finished his dinner
but short time before, but at the
same time put so cents in old DiclE,s
hand. "Oh! thanky, Boss; thanky,
Boss. Much Obliged" said old
Dick. The white man said: "Yoa
needn't thank me. All 1 want is for
you to vote for Billy Mahone." Old
Dick looked straight at the old white
man, surprised aud indignant, and
drawing himself up to his fullest
height, said: "Massa, / is a true old
Virginia nigger. You can't bribe
me, massa. Here, boss, take your
so cents; you can't bribe me. No,
boss, can't vote for Billy .8Iahone.'' y
''But," said the old white man,
Imam 1 want you to vote for your
own interest and save the country"
''Dat's what rs gwine to do, Boss,
but 1 amt gwine to vote for Billy
Malone. The train moved off leay-
ing old Dick at Cedar Creek Station.
The old white man, turning to the
colored man again insisted upon his
going back and trying to get old
Dick in the right road. No use try
ing dat darkey, Boss. is done
spent whole gallon of whiskey on
him now. He is mighty hard to
tackle. He amt one of the persuade
ing kind" The old,Rhite man went
on to Woodstock to speak the next
day for Billy Malone and do all the
good he could bribing negroes. The
above statement is strictly true.

Golden Rod.

"The way is long" the lost boy said,
The stars were shining overhead;
The silence of the deep black woods,
Their dim and deagh like sQlitudes,
And unseen dangers round him lay,
Great shadows rose and barred, the way,
Afraid to pass he paused and wept,
Lay down upon the moss and slept
In dreams mother soothed his fears;
The night dew mingled with his tears,
And like forgotten sunheams there,
About him strayed his golden hair.
A serpent meath his outstretched arm
Slipped by, nor sought TO do him harmi
AT midnight whent ale wind was wild,
An angel came and found the child
The woods were blighted by the frost,
Dead leaves about the dead were tossed;
Came winter on a.,fying cloud,
And clad him in a snowy shroud;
And spring, maid from holy lands,
Put purple violets in his hands;
Aud summer sent her birds to sing
Where his still heart lay Wondering.
The sun. the snow. the wind. the rain,
Resolved him hack to dust again;
Till autumn. in the wilderness,
Found nothing but silken tress,
She wound it on slender rod,
And set 1t in the withered sod, -
And SO the lost boys golden locks
Make glory on the lichened rocks.
