TO KA SaSTERSBA Hi-AVll’*. I wept when ye were called — To leave this b-muteous earth; ——JI thought not of the joys beyond Gained by immortal birth. Ye loved God's hmdwork; The ocean, in its might, The rosy tints of fading day The morning's eastern light. I wept when angels s’aid, “Sisters, I come for thee,” Forbright-huod flowers were in our path, Sunshine for thee and me; And music's witching charm Entranced the senses oft; Ye heard it in the breeze and rill, An.d„love's tones iow Rud soft. I wept when ye were laid Beneath the cold,damp sod;- - I cbuld not say, “Thy will be done, My Father ami my God. But weary years have fled, ' And Time has kissed my brow, And wisdom comes with riper years 1 wept but seldom now. I smile, that thou art gone; i The ocean wrecks bright hopes; The rtiinlmW' tinted bud of Spring Is blasted ere it opes. And cureless ones w; 11 brush Harps of a thousand strings, Then marvel :,t the agony Their thought'ess discord brings, I smile, for well I know In tl.y bright home above, It gives the joy e'en there to know There's faithfulness in love. I Ami when the soft south wind Comes wooingly to me, It seems to say in thy loved tones; I watch and wait for thee. i Ljtdliinron.G A Bequest ivitb a iftoral.

In this State, as in every other I part of the South, the cormorants 1 who swarmed from the North to I fasten and feed itpon the prostrate ' South,may be found in abundance. Every office in the girt ot theGovernment is oeehpietl by a Northern man and if the reconstruction scheme succeeds, all the State as well as the Federal offices will be filled by men from the North, except the few which may l»e apportioiied to the negroes. The |u'ople are utterly apathetic, and hopele-.s of rescue troni the: thraldom that now binds them except through the success of the I Democratic party*- in the North. lln this place they arc quiet and j orderly that violence, except by , soldlvrs. is almost unknown ; and ! other odenees. except by negroes, j rarely heard of. B"t tgil! they must l»e governed by bayonets, and the tax-payers of the North shall have the pleasure of Tooting the bill.

What the Abywsinans i. hink Os The English. The correspondent of tlie Lon- ' don Daily jVeic.v, accompanying i tiie Abyssinian expedition, writes : as follows from Antiva: ‘T asked j yesterday one’oi’our interpreters, ! a gentleman who resided for a! considerable time in Abyssinia, | what was the native opinion re- j gardihg us. He said, first they; tlisbclieve you are bona fide Christ-; ians ; they say, ‘You certainly pre- ■ tend to.be-so, but you never come ! to our churches except to look at; them; then, you do not kneel; down or kiss the gro.nml. You drink coiiee. you eat th unclean ; hare and even the pig.’ How the.v ' discovered this last item I don’t ’ jinow, as I have seen rio tame ’ "iwute to eat in Abyssinia. The ‘ gentleman tol 1 me that there w-re two bonds cifsympathy eon- ; nect’mg the inhabitants with us—dollars, and hatred to Theodore ; : and that it was to the last he attribute ! the fact of our transnort j being so little plundcyGL Wfeh Theodore is conquered he considered our small parties must look o 111.:ts !I:fAvoa 11 li they ea rry svith them would then ‘be an irresistible temptation to the Abyssinian?. With regard to oiir military strength, those who know the population say tlmt the impresion made is not wlmt we would expect: our numbers at first produced an effect, for all our camp lolioovers, our real source of weakness, at the coniinencemcnt of the campaign, when there were a great many of them, were set down as lighting men ; but this has been mucii l'<-'-setied by what in Europe would make an army respected, namely, our habit of paying i“r everything. and molesting no one. This they say is the conduct of traders, 1 not oi soldiers. Our tactics, and our movements from column into line, they utterly despise; they believe that, man to man. they are 1 superior to us. ,O.tr cannon cerI tainiy interest them, bet then those j of’ Theodore are much bigger, i i Two points alone shake their eonI viction in their own superior fight- ; ; ing power: first, we are evidently i taking a g ’eat deal <>f trouble to I m.-"t the King, whom none of their • own .i‘fiu“«“ care to confront; | eon-Di-v wenreihi leii'aLiv possess- : ;cd ofa. “rge number of ex client ‘ ; fire arms, such as they tamimJveif ' covet m-.re than anything ?l-<‘ in ; ! this ivorld ; but to the di ■ ! ! shown by our s<; i“rs tile}' i not ■ i att.lch any®weight, and do not yet. I acknowledge tiie mor?. l , and iciv- 1 i;, . . ' ; steal superiority wmten toe wm'e { man feels he possesses over the j j black and the brown.” Gotftlio Wrong Mgger. The negro, Fred. Douglass, de- ! ■ ligted the heart? of the loyal d• n ! | izeiis of Greenburg with one of his characteristic speeches last week. ' On the same trial and on the onposite end of the same car tn which Fred arrived in that lovely iatrg, I was another moke, if anything a : shade darker. When the train . stopped at tiie depot the ‘loi'f ad- ■ mirers of the colored cti-'S were assembled by hundreds to do a >n-° or to the cliony clminpien. The i ‘other moke’ got oil’ at the front end of the car, and immediately | ' caught the eyes of the expectant crowd, who no. sooner saw him , than they made a simultaneous ■ rush—the male bi leal? -shook his ' hands, and patted his back, and the female women, our informant avers, nearly smothered the cuss with kisses. Douglass, in the meantime, had gotten otf at the . rear enb of the car and proceeded ■to the porch of the <lepot, when our informant a resident of thi? I city, took off his hat and by lib- | eral expenditure of lungs succeed-; | cd in attracting the attention of the , crowd and informing them that ho j had Douglass there. The chagrin of the loyal, and especially the ‘vimin,” may bo imagined on learning that all their caresses had been ; spent on the wrong nigger.— Shelliyrille The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes a priy-tte letter, received “ffotfrsNew OWeans from a source which it denominates as of the most reliable character, and it contains this annoucement: “The Congressional plan of reconstruction can only result in a war of races. In its naked quality it proposes the subjugation of the ; ■whiteman, and the political su ’I perioritv of the black man at the South. Let the people at the North distinctly understand the situation here, for it is neither politic nor fpossil:’.' longer to disguise the , fact—the intelligent white race I will not submit to be ruled by ne- ! groes.” r- • _ - - — A fleet of vessels arrived at New Haven last week with eO.'WM) bushels of oysters for planting in the harbor ' • —

' Period of Growth of Man. i I Prof. B. A. Gould, from statis-■ Hies, derived from- the register of i i 2,500,000 men in the United States ■ ! Army, has brought out the fact i ! th£l the- men attain their maximum j stature much later than is goner- | ally supposed. Thus takes place | commonly at 20 or 30 years of| I age; but there are frequent instan- ‘ i ces of growth until 35, not very Inoticeable —a yearly gain of a i tenth of an inch* uerhans, still a; ■ growth. After 35 the stature stib- ’ sides in in similar proportion's, i I partly perhaps from the conden- i i rationof the cartilages, partly be- , ■ cause of tiie change in the angle of i ’ the hip bone. The age for max- i ' immn Mature domes eurliest to the tallest mon, as if it were th" neees- ' laity of unusual development.— : . . Foreigners shorter than men? sos native birth. The heights of I men seemed to depend on tlje place ’ •of enlistinijiit. A M.u-‘tts , man enlisting in low'a, was an inch j taller than if he bad staid at home. ; As we go west, men- grew taller.— i One man measured more than 6 ’ feet IQ inches. Out of one million, there won 50<J who measured I more than 6 feet 4 inches ; but men sos snel^stature do not wear well.' j In Maine, men reached their greatest height at 28; in New Ilamp- ; shire at 35 ; in .Massach setts ?atgh: lin Now .Jersey, at •1. The. talhGt j men, of 69 inches. come from lowa, Maine, Vermont, Ohio. Indiana. Minnesota and Missouri- give ins men a little over 68 ; and the average of all shows the Americans to be a very tall people. Loose Management of the National Banks. The national banks are begin--1 ning to show their contempt of law, and to display a high-handed independent conduct. It appears I that, the Comptroller of the Curi reney lias been compelled to call up >n the bank officers to preform their duties according to the , twenty-fifth section of the Nntion- ! a! Bankract, which requires an ex- : amination of their securities in the I hands of the United States Tress-, m\-r. Hundreds of the hanks have’ neglected this dutv, and it appears th' ’■ ha I some < tu;se for the neg . l-.-ct in the insuiilciency of ih.-ir so- • <mr; ! >s. They begin t > f'-'.rd »«? i scrutu i*yor.supervision.Tlie a eare some <>f the first symptoms <<f rot- . tonnes* which indicate a general spnash whenever a financial crisis ■ comes. ■ rwh r they may b ■ . called upon for speed 1 payment l \ Like all greet monopolies, with vast privileges.•m l' profits, tht-jje i banks become' extravagant, spe'- | illative, and reckless. They will ■ soon, demand an expansion of their i currency, and, consi lering their 1 i immense power, wiil no doubtpbj tain it. This may float them along ! on the high tide of inflation for a time, but the bubble will burst in a few years at the farthest. The : sooner Congress repeals the law creating these infamous monopolies the better for the country — Knock the props of Treasury snp- , port from un*ler them, which" they h> ve no right to receive, and they will fall by their own rottenness.— i A’eic 1 or'y Herald. • Gerritt Smith says he was glad to go Mil for Je f. Davis, not from regard to him merely, but- to show his good feeling toward the South, and to do in fills w’fcy what lie might to bring the North and South together. He thinks the Republican party, by denouncing the bail ing of Jeff. bavis.t>*flung away a goldeg opportunity for strengthening itself and for giving peace to the country.” He also justifies his gift to Washington College on the ground that he had given • thousands to aid in the education'of the blacks of the South, but had given nothing to her white school. He was, therefore, glad of the op portunity to give to the one which was founded by the “Father of his ; Country." He says the North should eagerly avail herself of every opportunity to express good feeling toward the South. Judge Black, who was a mem her of Buchanan's Cabinet, tells this story of that miserable sycophant, John W. Forney. Secretary of the Senate, and proprietor of the Washington Chronicle Philadelphia Press: ••After he had abused Mr. Buchanan in his newsj»aper in Philadelphia, see mu one day. withJiis face whitelivefcd « s usual, and said: ‘Mr. Black!
