VOL. 10, NO. 25.) Backbone. T RALPH RKTKOLDS. When you see a rellow mortal Without fixed and fearless views, Hanging on the skirts of others, Walking in their cast-off shoes, Boning low to wealth or favor, With abject, uncovered head, Ready to retractor waver, Willing to be drove or led; Walk yourself with firmer bearing, Throw your moral shoulders back, Show your spine has nerve and marrowJust the thing which he must lack. A stronger word Was never heard In cense and tone, Than this, backbone. When you see a theologian Hugging close some ugly creed, Fearing to rcjeat oraetion Dogmas which his priest uiay read, Holding back all noble feeling, Choking down each manly view, Caring more for forms and symbols Than to know the Good aud True, Walk yourself with firmer bearing, Throw your moral shoulders back, Show your spine has nerve and marrow Just the thing which his must lack. A stronger word Was never heard In sense and tone, Than this, baokbone. When you see a politician Crawling through contracted holes, Begging for some fat position, la the ring or at the polls, With no sterling manhood in him, Nothing stable, broad or sound, Destitute of pluck or ballast, Double fivied all around, Walk vourself with firmer bearing, Tlirow your moral shoulders back, Show your spine has nerve and marrow Just the thing which his must lack. A stronger word Was never heard In sense and tone, Than this, backbone. A modest song and plainly told The text is worth a mine of gold; For many men most sadly lack A noble stiffness in the back. Grand Rapids Eagle. Why He Didn't. BY MATT1E DYER BaiTXS. The long, low, brown farm-house glow ed like vivid bronze in the slautmg beam: j of the deep afternoon funshiue, the i-haJ-ows of the gray old apple trees leDgiheued athwart the emerald gras aud one "team fell like a golden arrow through the dark tresses of Grace Auber, as she sat in the low doorway, turning in her white hand the rosy apple she held, and ietting the paring drop into the shining pan upou her lap. 'l'ardon, lady, for disturbing your pleas ant task, but is this where Farmer iiruce lives?' tjitce iookea up wun a starr, as ute ieep muMcal voice addressed her, and the rit:ion Hush of surprise tinted even her mall pearly ear, as she answered: 'iTessir.' "Can 1 see him? or his good lady?' asked the stranger, again lif.iug his hat from his handsome brow. 'tie is in the Gelds, Mrs. Druee is in the house. ill vou walk in, sir?' Carrying her pan of apples on one arm, he ushered him in, gave hiut a chair, aud left the old parlor to suuitu ju the farmer's wife. 'Hy Jove! soliloquized Clifford Vance, looking after the graceful figure, 'there's a more delicate type than I expected to see in a country beauty. She might be a princess royal! Come, this is worth stay ing lor. 1 must make a good impression on the larmer's wife, and she'll-be certain to keep me. Iherelore, when Mrs. Bruce bustled ig having left the buwl of golden butter she was patting out upon the snowy shelf in the buttery, he rose to receive her with a srraee as courtly as if she had been a queen. , In his most winning manner aud alas! Clifford Vance's manner could be almost fatal in its faseiuatiou, as many a femiuiue heart could testily he tntormed her that he was an artist, come for a month's sketching among their beautiful hillt-; bad learned at the hotel in the village that he would nowhere else find so pleasant a home as with Farmer Bruce, and begged to be taken in lor a tew weeks The good dame looked perplexed, and frankly said she hardly kuew what to do. 'I could, l'spose; but what is your name, sir? Vance gave her his card, with a winning smile. 'As to references, if you like ' he began. 'Oh, no, sir, 'tisn't that we country people are not apt to be suspicious. But, just excuse me a moment, aud I will tee if I can make it convenient.' She went out to the back porch, where Grace sat with her pan of apples. 'Gracie, dearie, here's a young artistchap, come from the city, wants to stay a month. Says he'll pay well, and give no trouble. Verv well. Aunt Debbv. take bim if you want to. 'But won't he trouble you, dearie?' Grace laushed. 'He doesn't look dangerous, does be, aunty?' 'Oh. no hes a misjhtv nice, centleman-ly-lookiug chap. Bui I was afraid 'Afraid he 'eight interrupt my pleasure, auntv? No. for I shall not let him.

" hen, he returned, Grace ws not to be seen. Uut just before dinner he met heri a I. 1 . 1 a . ! in .uc .arior, ana men nis curious interest mut hnd a vent. You have a lovely homo here, Miss M iss ! believe I have not had the pleasure of an introduction will Miss Bruce do?' 'No, sir. My name is Auber Grace Auber I am an orphan, and I live here with Uncle John and Aunt Debby,' said Grace, simply, Ah! I have heard of a Miss Auber in the city; her name is Laura, I think, and she is said to be immensely wealiv. Can she be a relative of yours?' I think not. I have no relative of that name. There comes Uncle John, and Aunt Debby has dinner ready. Mr. Vance. Will you please to walk out? Smoking a cigar, at his window that night, Vance sighed and wondered if the wealthy Miss Auber in the city was half so beautiful as her country namesake. 'She has the beauty of an angle and the manners of the best society. I wonder where she got them? If she only had the other one's money now, I would turn Benedict at once But a poor country girl a farmer's niece with probably no accomplishments it woulden't do never, never! Love's wings must be fringed with gold before I essay a flight. Nevertheless, she is very lovely, and there is some fun in a summer flirtation in the country Heigho, I wonder if I'm quite a scamp?' Alas! I fear he was. But he did not look like one, for his winning manner ap peared to be the very soul of frank, honest truth. And Grace Auber, as day by day she yielded to the charm of his society, and found herself drifting just where she had resolved not to drift, believed in and trusted him. In her own proper place in society she might have bCen quite safe; but here, amid her simple surroundings, how could she fail to believe, as she listened to his words of love, that he wooed her for herself alone? And ah! when the heart leads, who is not willing to follow? Before I go back to the city I will tell him all,' she said; 'but not yet ah, not yet! It is so sweet to be eared for only for myself. 1 will keep up the sweet dream a little while longer Then I will tell him, aud erjoy his surprise and pleas ure.' Oao afternoon one bright, balmy day, wheu the air was a j y to breathe Grace walked alone into the woods, meaning to meet Clifford on his return from a wild and distant spot, where he had goue to sketch. the walked, with drooping head, softsmiling lips and idly folded hands," through the fragrant forest, wrapped in happy dreams, little guessing that, in (he very path pressed by her careless feet, lay that which Fate had sent to break the charm and dissolve the spell which bound her. Her foot struck a crumpled bit of white paper which lay upon the ground, and pushed it aside. She gave a careless glance, and passed on a step; then obeying an idle impulse, turned, picked up the paper, smoothed the wrinkles with her haud, aud looked at it. It was a portion of a letter, but in a hand she did not know. She idly read the words, until her own name aud that of another met her eye. She gave a quick start; hastily turned over the paper, aud sought a clue to the writer. In oue corner was a name 'C. 11. Arkwright' It was a name she had heard betore the name of Clifford Vance's most intimate frieud. Pale as death, and drawing her breath in short gasps, she made a motion to cast the paper from her, then drew it back. 'io,' she said. 'Perhaps Providence sent it to save me.' Sitting down upon a mossy tree-trunk, she smoothed the fragment out once more, and read every word upon it. Itran thus: You must bring your pretty romance to a close uow, aud come back to realities, which, when 1 tell you Miss Laura Auber is to be here in a week or so, you will be willing to do, Clifford, my boy I You ac anowieuge mat you nave been, amusing yourself wi;h a pretty country girl all summer, but you kuow you doo't mean to marry said deluded little miss, for you couldu't afford to marry an auirel if she hadu t plenty of uiouey. So you had bet let be a littla careful, friend Vance i Don't commit yourself, make her any promise or anything of that sort. Such things turn out awkwardly sometimes. In fact, you had better make your adieux as soon aud as eafely as you can, and come back at once; for, as Miss Auber will be here in a few days, if you carry out your intention to wiu her, you Irad better be first on the ground aud get the start of other competitors. If 1 thought there was any chance for me, I would try it myself; but as there isn't, I can afford to help There the fragment ended, and nothing on the other side, except the name, had any connection with it its revelation. Grace read it two or three times, theu folded it up and put it in her pocket. She did no linger to meeet Clifford Vauce. She rose aud walked rapidly home, told Mrs. Bruce that ber walk had given her a headache, and she did not wish to come out to supper.. Her wish was the law of that quiet farm house, so she was allowed to sit alone in her room, until the moon shone through the leafy brauehes of the old apple trees. Suddenly something smail and white flew in at her window and dropped at her feet. She stooped, picked up the tiny bit of pa per and read, in Vance s welt known band 'Is my queeo really to ill to appear, or

She turned upon him quickly, then. 'Deceiving! That word sounds well in your mouth! Listen, Mr. Vance! I am the heiress, Liuta Auber. All these broad acres you see, atid many more besides, are mine Mr. and Mrs. Bruce have had the care of the farm ever since 1 can remember, and after my mother's death, many yeirs of my childhood were passed here. Now you kuow why I love and trust them, and use such familiar household names. My father, and, therefore, my city Iticmh, prefer to call me Laura, but here I ouly receive my childhood's pet name, Grueie. You choose to thiuk me Farmer Bruce's niece, and, as 1 wished to thro v aside the claims of society for a while, I did not uudocieve you. I hoped to pteisc iiud surprise you with the truth before we left this place. I fancy I have surprise you. Now, Mr. Vance, you know all. and 1 have only to wish vou goodnight ' '.May I not plead my cause in one word?' he aked, as she turned away. 'It is unnecessary. You can say nothing to help jou now. But, Mr. Vance, when next you et joy a 'summer romance' with a 'deluded little miss,' remember that Laura Anber's heart was too strong and proud for such as you to give it more than a single pang, uive my regards to your friend, and tell him you have decided not to attempt to wiu the heiress. Good night, Mr. Vauce!' She turned away, and, with the air of a queen, indeed, swept toward the house, leaving him to his not very pleasaut reflec ti ins. The next morning, Clifford Vance departed for the city, a wiser, if not a better man. But he did not stay to make Miss Auber's acquaintance. To Arkwright's amazement, he set off instantly for Washington, letting the golden prize slip through his fingers without making oue effort to grasp it. And we, readers, know why! JEFF. DAVIS. A Few Quotations from the words of His Southern Indorsers. It is the watit of backbone among the Democracy of the North, said the Savannah (Georgia) Republican on the 21st of May, that is discouraging and disheartening their Southern allies. This servile tone, it continued we quote its exact words must be changed before the Southern Democrats can bo induced to co-operate with any heart in the next Presidential election. Quickly the Columbus (Georgia) Sun quoted these sentiments and said: "The Republic in is correct.' And going fur ther in its greater frankness, it added: "If we wish to be free, we must not lean on others, to strike the first blow. God will help those who help themselves. If we of the South are citizens of the Government, our voice should be heafd and heeded in the formation and expression of its policy and legislation, and that voice, feeble though it be, should never sound the suppressed notes and whispera of slaves or hypocritiee. Let us resist by tongue and peu, if not by sword, the first and last, and every invasion of our rights under the Constitution." These brief quotations from two of the ablest and most influential Democratic papers in Georgia show that the pretense that harmony and unity in the Democratio party North and Siuth are now assured, has no foundation. Jeff Davis' speeches in that Sta'es alone prove this. We do not allude further to them here it is not necessary; but it may be well to recall some of the words of lion. Henry W. liilliard; as he introduce this same "exPresident,' is they call him, to the people of Ausiusta, on the evening of May 27, when the Democratic citizens crowded to greet hiaa. These words show what those who are oow leading Democrats of Georgia think of this man whom some .Northern Democratic papers wish us to look upon

That is uot a lost cause. It is the cause of constitutional liberty, aud will yet triumph.' Another of his ,iudorers' is the Lexiogton (Kentucky) Tress. This Democratic paper; iq its issue of Friday uiomiug last, says: 'Mr. Davis has no lears of persoual oousequeuees to himself because of any opiuious which he may etnertaiu and express. Tbe cowardly uialiguity of section al uatreu aud partisan taueor has exhausted iiseif iu Lis persecution, aud little recks ho what his toes may do or say to him. .

In au issue subsequent to that from which we have quoieu above, the Columbus (Georgia) buu says tuat Davis txpres sed me wtioie n utb ii a nut siieil wheu he asserted that he did uot 'accept, the situation,' and that such uaut pbiuses are but 'the excuses ol cowards.' it refuses to go ou auy utvv departuiu, say lug, 'We Have ambition to tight in iUuical uniforms We believe thai honesty wius wheu dup.icuy loses.

The I'etoisbu'g ( V'irgiuia) luJcxt which protests that the iNonti must not think that the South will take Davis as a leader, also sajs mat the people of the North mjy as wi.S uudefsutid once lor all lujt Mr. Davis is aud wiil lor geueiatious, if uot forever, remain dear to liie Southern people; that white they usk 'but justice, equal laws, aud peace atid quiet,' uever tlie.ess they Will never believe that they ure traitors, uor that Jefferson Davis wjs or is a traitor. The ludex coutiuues: 'The ex ertions of three years, aud all the talent aud all the hate of the North failed to convict him ol' a shadow of treason. May our right haud forget its cutiuiug when we foiget that Jefferson Davis is boue ot our bone aud tlosh ol. our flesh: that iu a long career iu public olliee he ever display ed the purity, bravery aud patriotism which do honor to the rce from which we spriug, aud that wheu the fate of war aud me force of brutal malice placed him iu a dungeon, he was there as our representative, aud honoted himself aud us by an uucouipiaiuing lortitude aud a heroic coustaucy weithy ot a liofer or Falfcland." There is another class of Democratic papers in the South which 'regret' that Jiff. Davis should say auy thiug, not but what he expresses right sentiments, but because ins words are sure to be distorter at the North, &c. The Moutgoiuery (Alabama) Advertiser and Mail closes a a leading article with these wo:ds: 'If the very uatural enthusiasm of our lelluwci iz-tis, who behold in Mr. Davis the l.ddii.g statesman in a cau.-e once so dead to them, aud the martyr of a cowardly vei'geance which shocked the world, would test.fy their love aud respect for him without requiring addresses or speeches in return, me wisdom of such a course could ujt be well questioned."' Another paper of this class is the New Orleaus Commercial Bulletiu, which says it thiuks Davis' speech, however forcible it was in arguuieut, was "uutoriuate at this juncture, ' and it auds: 'Mr. Davis knows the hearts of the people aud they kuow his. It is not always wise, though, to tell the world what we think or what we feel. His siienee would be more eloquent than words hereafter. It behooves the South now to exercise all of her ?eilconttol, discretiou aud temperateness to insure a peaceful aod fair participation in the next geuerat election. Thinking men see aud realize this.' It is somewhat too soon to obtain any very elaborate expressions from Southern Democratic jouruals on the new Democratic policy, enunciated last week by the Ohio estate Convention. The platform adopted by the State Convention the Louisville Ledger explains away thus: "The resolutions are evidently the result of a compromise, and do douot the action of the Convention was not the wisest thing which could have been done, in view ol the necessity for perfect harmony in the party. The Vallandigham platform was adopted in a modified form, the amendments accepted as accomplished facts, but with a construction which will render them harmless. No one questions that . . I .

V May 24, 1871. j vbiuj aau eompreuensive survey uv the politikle field satisfied me, some months ago, that without some shift in the position uv the dimocricy our hope uv success wuz exceedingly thin. The resoloostieus iuterdoost by-Vallandygum into the Couveiishun of tho dimocrisy uv ... . . i. . .uuuigvuici y cuumy, vuio, wuz to me a new hie. Troo, they have the elite disadvantyge uv aljoorio everything that is dimocratic, and uv puttiug the dimocratic party on purely republican ground, but wat uv that? 1 kiu staud even so sudden a change ez that. Wat I want is the boopreme happiness uv kickio that nigger Lubbock out uv the post offis at the Corners, and uv putting myself iu his place, aud Kernel McPelter and Elder Peunibacker, who hev bio languishia outside the offices uv Assessor and Collector, are actooated by the same high and holy impulses , El to do this requires the okkepynig uv Rcpublikin ground, the war cry uv us three is, ' Okkepy.'' Kentucky is sure to go dimocratic anyhow, and if we kin, by so'simple a process ez passin res oloosheus, iudoose enutl dissatisfied Re publikins in the close Northern States to vote with us to elect a dimoturatio President who will give us these boons, we three are lor passin these resolooshens, matter wat they are. This bein my understnudin uv Vullandygum's movement, 1 actid onto it to wtinst. I got the leadiu dimucracy uv the Corners together oue oite at.Bascoma. That I mite get em all at one time, I waited till the regular eveuin lor the raid on the niggers aud Northern settlers up toards Gdiretfstowu, knowing that oq their return they'd all stop at Bascom's for a drink, and that ef they'd been successful iu their hangin and burnin thev d h in good humor aud ready lo adopt anything 1 thood suggest. It wuz a very Bhort bui There a very satistacior v cousultashen wuz some objecliuns on the part uv a few to what they called an abandonment of dimocratic ideas, but Bascom settled their hash in very short metre. He remarked hat it wuz necessary that the offices be in 'he hands uv his trieuds for obvious rea sous, lie wantid pay and he knowd uv uo other way to get it. He believed in the fullest freedom of thought and ach sheu, aud that every one should express hisseif uutraiuelcd, but he coodent abide a idiot. If there wuz any one in that as. oembbgc so stoopid tz to differ with him on this question, let bim make hisselt known. For sich a man shood never git a drop at his bar, never; sich a one wuz uot dcstrvin uv even the commonest necessaries uv life. Several who had riz to their feet to object, dropt as though they had been shot. It wuz determined to hold a public meetin the uext nite at the church to make a public endorsement of Vallandygum's idea.
