Do thsy miss me at home-do they miss me' IL would be assurance most dear, To know that this moment some loved ons Were saying'' wish he here" To feel that the group at the hreside Were thinking of me, as roam 0 yes, it would be joy beyond measure

 To know that they miss me at home

 To know that they miss at home. When twilight approaches-the That ever is sacred to song Do some repeat my name over, And sigh that tarry so long And is there chord in the music That's missed when my voice is away, And chord in each heart that awaketh,

 Regret at my wearisome stay

 Regret at my wearisome stay. Do they set me a chair near the table. When evenings home pleasures nigh When the cand es lit in the parlor, And the stars in the sky; And when the good nights repeated, And all lay them down to their sleep, Do they think of the absent and wait mo

 And whisper good night while they woep- And whisper good night while they weep. Do they miss me at home-do they miss me At morning at noon, or at night, And fingers one gloomy shade round them That only my presence can light, Are joys less invitngly welcome And pleasures less hale than befOre Because one is missed from the circle

 Because l am with them more

 Because am with them more.

A writer in the New York Egeniag Post.
in discussing the matter of personal courage
OF the negro, says that they have shown this
quality conspicnously in one of the most dan
gerous callings pursued by Americans. In
the whaling service negroes have long been
tavorltes Tor their desperate courage. Some
dozen years ago very many of our whaling
ships in the Pacific Ocean carried black boat
steerers, and there we're seven instances where
the mates were negroes. Of course these
men were shipped in the Pacific, not bro't
from home. Tney were engaged because OF
their supposed superior skill and daring in
attacking the whale and New Bedford or
Nantucket skipper is not the man to make a
mistake in this particular. That the blacks
make most courageous and trustworthy
whalemen, is tradition of the whaling ser.
vice. No one ever thought of denying it.
Partly, no doubt, this was from pride-they
we're, on their honor, to do better than any
one else. But the same feeling will spur on
the black soldier in The face of the enemy
SO far as remember it used to be accounted
for by saying, "Oh those fellows care moth.
Ing for life, they like the fun" The most des.
perate blow ever saw struck at whale was
by black cook, who acted on the occasion
as temporary boatsteerer. He narrowly es.
capped with his life, and only by the utInos,
presence OF mind and dexterity, the whales
fiukes striking his place in the boat the mo.
ment he had leaped out Of it into the sea
When asked how he dare dart his iron. ne
replied with grin: The mate sung on,
give it to him; and when he says strike

The election in Connecticut ON Mon.

wheming triumph for the Republican
ticket, by maiorlies largely increased over
those given at the previous State election.

were routed as completely Us the open

This victory is the more significant and
important, Sinre it was achieved with a
full knowledge, on the part OF the people
Of Connecticut that the Senate of the
United States had just passed the bill for
the abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia, and endorsed. the Presidents
Emancipation policy in reference to the
Border States. We regard this triumph
as II complete acquiescence Of the people
Of Connecticut in that policy, and as
eyincng their most decided approval OF
the action Of the Senate in liberating the
slaves of the District; and we hope the
Border States will receive it as pledge
of the earnestness with which the North
generally means to carry ont the scheme
of Emancipation to the end In Novem-
ber next, the voters Of Delaware will send
greeting through the ballot box, their re
sponse to the noble call Of Connecticut
in favor Of freedom, aud will show by heI
vote that she means to stand by the Union
and the Constitution in spite of slavery
which she is determined to drive from her
borders.
