Out in the street with naked feet,


| saw the drunkard's little daughter;
Her tattered shawl was thin and small;
She little knew for no one taught her.
Her skin was fair, her auburn hair


Was blown about her pretty forehead.
Her sad, white face wore sorrows trace,
And want and woe that were not borrowed
Heart-broken child, she seldom smiled;
Hope promised her no bright tomorrow
Or if its light flashed on her night,


Then up came darker clouds Of sorrow.
She softly said "We have no bread,
No wood to keep the fire q burning"
The child was i'll the winds so chill
Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning.
But men well fed and warmly clad,
And ladies robed in richest fashion.
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion.
That long night fed, and then the light
OF rosy day in beauty shining,
Set dome and spire aud roof on fire,
And shone on one beyond repiniug.
Asleep -alone-6s cold as stone,


Where no dear parent ever sought her;
In windng-sheet of snow and sleet
Was found the drunkard's lifeless daughter

Since the time when the Ancient Mariner
told the terrible tale of the cursc.laden ship
with her crew of CHASTITY corpses, no more
thrilling stories of the sea has been related
than that of the whale ship Diana that re.
Gently drifted into one of the Shetland Is.
lands.


A year ago sho left the Shetlands on
Whaling voy age to the Arctic regions, hav-
ing on board fifty men. From that time
nothing more was heard of her. The friends
of those on board became alarmed. Money
was raised, aud premiums offered for the
first vessel that wonld bring tidings of the
missing ship, but all to no avail. Hope
was almost abandoned.


On the I'd of April the people rear Rona's
Voc, is one of the Shetland Islands, were
startled at seeing ghastly wreck OF u ship
sailing into the harbor. Battered and ice
crushed, sails and oordage cut away, boats
and spars cut up for fuel in the terrible
Arctic winter, her decks covered with
dead and dying, the long lost Diana sailed
in like ship from Deadmau's Land. Fifty
men sailed out of Lerwick in her on a bright
May morning last year. All of the fifty
came back on her on the I'd of April, this
year; the same yet how diiferent


Ten men, of whom the captain was one,
lay stlHehcU cOTp6eS on the ueCK thirty.
five lay helplessly sick, and some dying !;
two retained sufficient strength to creep
aloft, and the other three crawled feebly
about the deck. The ship boarded by the
islanders, and, as they climed over the bul.
warks, the man at the wheel tainted from
excitement; one OF the sick died as he lay
his death being announced by the fellow
occupant of his lerth feebly moaning
Take away this dead man" On the
bridge of the vessel lay the body of the
captain, as it had lain for four months, with
nine of his dead shipmates by his side, all
decently laid out by those who soon ex.
pected to share their fate.


The survivors could not bear to sink the
bodies Of their comrades into the sea, but
kept them, so that when the last man died
the fated ship that had been their common
home should be their common tomb. The
surgeon of the ship worked faithfully to
the last, but cold, hunger, scurvy and dys
entery were to much for him. The brave
old captain was the first victim, and died
blessing his men. Then the others fell
one by one, until the ship was tenanted
only by the dead and dying. One night
more at sea would have left the Diana
floating coffin. Not one of the fifty would
have lived to tell the ghastly tale.

IN South Carolina the white men are
about to test the negro loving principles of
the Radicals in a practical way. They
propose to vote for the black men for Con-
gress on condition that the negroes will
vote for the Conservative candidates for
State officers, or in other words, put the
State governments in the hands of white
men who are able to manage them. This
has alarmed the school of Southern politi-
clans headed by Hamilton and Hunnicutt
If carried into effect, it leaves them out
in the cold" and hence they are endeavor
ing 10 get a decision from some leading
member of the Radical party in Congress
that such members will not be admitted

this negro question, and they may not make
as much by the movement as was ex-

Do what you do, and take your time to it-but see that you improve youi time-and do not make any false blows or unnecessary motion. Such men arc the workers. They enjoy their labor they do not fret and hurt their health or their disposition. They have the control of their work and themselves, It is bad to fret--it is bad to get in a stew, which generally means a passion

 It is very fine to have an even course and to be placid in your work. Cheer fulness in labor, singing while you toil-this is making labor what it was designed for, what it is, divine-a shield always against sickness, against want, against gloomincss of spirit. Ii makes clean conscience toward God and man. What more does it want to make one happy? But, remember

 this cheerful, steady labor-takine your time and improving it. Forced labor is bad-that is curse. And we see enough of it to sicken us daily, the world over. But the time is coming when this will be different. Not that labor will ccase-this is impossible

 man must eat his bread in the swert oi his face; but it will be ameliorated- machinery will do the rougher part

 and intelligence will direct it. Then industry will be what we have so often dreamed it 10 be, what the poets have made it--a pastoral goddess, giant Hercules. It is even such now, hero and there, if we only make it moderate and intelligent. It will do more than the heat of excitement, which will soon spend itself, and leave the work and the worker the worse for the eff. fort.

A Scotch paper, the Haddington Courier, has an extraordinary story of the escape of a miner who fell down the shaft Of coal pit, near Trancnt.- An old shaft was made use of to open up communication with new pit recently sunk. About half way down the shaft, which was two hundred and seventy-six feet deep, a wooden staging composed of strong two inch blanks was built, completely intcrsecting the down shaft, to afford firm footing to the miners entering the side shaft. At the bottom of the down shaft was a considerable accumulation of water, as is usual in pits which have not been worked for some time. On the occa- sion in question young man name d Myine, rather than wait for the com paratively tedious process of being lowered down by the windlass, said he would slide down the rope. Disrc. garding the advice of his companions he got upon the rope, and they were in another moment mortified to see that he had lost hold of it.

 The crash of his body against tho wooden staging was heard, and they were making preparations to descend for the mangled remains, when a cry for assistance was heard coming uI from the very bottom of the pit. The rapidity of his desoent of l70 feet had propelled him through the two-incl boards as neatly as if his body had been rife bullet, and with about as littl, injury, for not a bone was broken, and except a small scratch on his chin, hi; person did not bear the slightest mark of coming in contact with anything during the descent. Falling into tn, water at the bottom, he had, on coming to the surface, providentially throwr his arms over some wooden framew orl which happened to be there, and hat thus been saved. The man was found here and was conveyed home quit, conscious, and under medical care wa. soon able to be out of doors.

 The story has certainly the appear ance of a fable, yet, if it is possible, tC shoot a candle through an inch board why cannot a man be shot through ; two-inch plank !? The narrative is a least sustaining, and anybody wh, chooses can have the liberty of doubt ing that it is well authenticated.

g. No Jew shall sue for his own debts, but in the name of the kings license; and if any Jew defrauds the king of his customs or other rights, he shall forfeit his all to the king.

 No doubt the sturdy christians of that day thought these things ortho- dox, and any one who questioned their propriety or the humanity of such "a republican form of government" as little better than traitor and British copperhead, sympathizing with the Jewish faith and hater of the son of man.

 The Jews did not resist; they bowed their necks, and the car of oppression rolled over them, but they did not yield their opinions or give up their belief. They went to the stake and the scaflold by thousands and in their case-as well as in every other of which history makes mention-the blood of the martyrs proved the seed of the church.

 They have outlived the Plantagenets, the Tudors, and the Stuarts; and to- day Rothschild sits in the house of commons, and DIsraeli controls the destinies of that empire upon whose domain the sun never sets.

 Remember, fellow citizens, that no lasting good was ever yet accomplish ed either in politics or religion, by per secutions; that no error in one or the othcr-to say nothing about truth was ever destroyed by the Stamping out process.

 We are trying the experiment in the south, and no matter how fattering present or future appearance may be, we shall in the end fail and fail signally and completely.

 In the diary left by that noble wo- mon, whose fervent patriotism and inspiration lent grace and charm to the darkest days of the French revo- lution-Madame Roland were writ ten these words;
