THE OLD PLAY GROUND. BY J. A. DAQUS, : : The ald school-house is crumbliog down, ‘That stood upon the village green ; The ancient pedagogue is gone, Who tamed the boys of wild sixteen. The fire is out uron the hearth, Whieh brightly blazed in olden time, " And crickets chirp where shouts of mirth " FKchoed in days of ‘“‘auld lang syne !” The evehing breeze mn‘y round it sweep, And shadows steal along the west, And Hesper may his vigils keep. ! And lgt the lone one hoge to rest. ‘Bat let the world lie still below, ‘ Ambition’s dearest hopes are flat, Afihe mopinf owl is master now, J ~ His pupil is the mongrel bat. The rose may bloom and ivy cling ; Around the wheather-beaten door ; The hand was fair aud wore a ring - That trained them there in days of yore, But time has dimmed the maiden’s eye, That smiled on me 8o long ago; Her grave is on the hill hard by, And daises sweet above it grow. _Desr girl, her name I dare not speak, ' For fear I shame her memory now— But something warm upon m{ cheek Reminds me of my youthfu vow. And while the soul immortal lives Qur love shall be a dream divine, For God to death no power gives ~ To kill beyond the realms of time ! : Oh! could I call the school-mate back, Who met me here in days gone by, . How soon along the lightning track : ' The messenger of love would fly. - How would my heart dissolve in tears - To meet again the friendly glance - Of one I knew in other years, . The loved and lost of life's romance. But some are rovers on the sea, ; And some are in the land of gold, . . And some in heaven, it may be, And some like me, are growing old. * But never again will we {wo meet’ : When comes' ‘play-time’ at noon around - Where once the sound of yoices sweet, -/ Arose upon the old play ground.,

. A WINTER VIGIL. ! In the winter of 186—'it fell to my lot to investigate onme of the most ‘touching stories of a white man’s en‘durange and an Indian’s vengeance thatl€éver came across in the whole ‘Northwest, As some of the more curigs portions of the official note book ‘of\‘ar/ Indian agent I transcribe the ‘memoranda relating to it. :\_Albert Black was an honest English ‘gentleman, whose adventures in search -of fortune led- him away from Regent ‘street to wonder in western worlds, ‘and-this is the way he “put through" ‘a portion of the winter of that year.— ‘He.was residing, with a single com{sanion_, in a little log cabin at the In. dian village Bella-Coola, on the coast of British Columbia. There was no - white man nearer than one hundred -miles, but the villages of many Indian tribes were situated in the immediate vicinity. The winter was. only half ‘through ; few natives came trading ‘about the post, and as time lay heavily on their hands, Black and his com/panion resolved to go a hunting for a few days. A canoe was accordingly fitted out with a stock of provisions ‘and ammuhition, and with an Indian a 8 steersman and pilot they proceeded to cruise about among the islands, now and then landing and stalking deer, or shooting the ducks and wild geese ~which assembled in conntless flocks by the miouths of the Northwestern rivers in winters. 'The season was mild, with but a thin coating of snow on the ground, so that each night they encamped in the open air, and slept well wrapped up in their blankets around the blazing log fire. Few old explorers in these countries ever think of carrying a tent with them, and our hunters were not possessed of one, even had they cares to .avail themselves of its shelter. They had been cruising about in this manner for several days, when as usual, they encamped one night on an island, with the canoe drawn up ‘on the beach. Their provisions they built up around them to guard them from any prowling Indian or other mishaps. Their pilot had infoermed them he was just about out of powder and bullets, at the same time begging to be supplied with some, ‘exhibiting his pouch, which contained but two charges. The hunters were too tired to open their packages. and, withstanding his solicitations, they put him off until morning. They then, as usual, loaded their rifles, the pilot doing eo also; and all three men layed ‘down to sleep, and all slq},}pt gave one. "How long they slept Black could not eay, but all he remembered was being awoke by. the report of a rifle. A low:scream, and then a moan by his side, told him that all was over with his companion. The gilot.’s place wu,}vftcj;nt ; and before Black could become fiilly conscious of his situation, ‘he was ﬁreg at from the dark,and a bullet struck his thigh. He attempted to rise, but was unable; his leg was fracturéd. Instantly he grasped his revolver, and he ha.g scarcely done so before he was conscious of a figure crouching toward him in the darknesss.: |

. He immediately fired, but the shot did not 'take effect, and his would be murderer retreated be hind some rocks. - He now staunched the blood ﬂowingl from his wount as well as circumstances would permit, by tieing a handkerchief around it. All doubt was now at an end that the guide, tempted by the proper:ly, had murdered his companion, and was only prevented by the want of ammunition from dispatching: him too. All night long—it seemed a year—he kept awake, too excited to sleep, thongh he was faint from loss of bfood Sometimes he would relapse into an easy sleep, from which he would be startled by the barking of his little dog, when he would grasp his revolver, only to see a figure again skalking in'the darkness, Daylight at last came, l::d he had !nov}vl t;mle to Sonsbuiihne e altmtilbn-+=Stutinlens, badly wounded, far from whitepmen. or even friendly Indiang, he was alone, with an enemy wmchinfl eve? moment to destroy him, as ‘he had done his companion, whose glassy eyes glared up at him. Provisions enough were lyizg‘-ieju_ttered around ; but none were accessible as food, save the bag of sugar, and on this his chief chance of lng;ﬂéme,lay. ‘He knew enoungh of science to know that Magendie’s ‘dogs ‘when fed on sugar soon grew emaciated, but he also knew that it ‘supported life - for a time. Before jght snow fell, and covered the dead ‘body aut of bis sight, | Sometimes he ‘would relapse into whalf waking sleep,

~when again the ever faithful dog, who! seemed almost conscious how matters stood, would warn him of the approach of his enemy. It was in vain that ‘Black attempted to get a shot at him;, and had it not been for the watchfulness of his dog-friend, the wretch muat soon have been able to dispatch with hig knife the guardian whose revolver intervened between him and the coveted property. And so they kept their dreary vigils, and. the snow fell heavily ; and though.his leg pained him exceedingly, he managed to keep. warm in his blanket-lined burrow. The Indiun would sometimes disappear for .hours and even a day, apparently looking after food. The poor hunter would then imagine that he had got clear of his bloodthirsty enemy, when the barking of Flora would warn her master. On one or two occasions the Indian managed to approach ‘Wwithin a few feet of his intended victim before his presence was detected as both murderer and hunter were eq'uallfg intent on each’ other’s destruction, escapes were sometimes. rather narrow. Several days elapsed in this manner, until at last the Indian seemed to have grown tired, and left the island in the canoe ; for they were no longer alarmed. The bag of sugar was nearly done, and the poor dog was now so weak with hunger, that, gven.when it did ab-ent itself searchinig forfood upon the shore, it was scarcely able to give an alarm. If Black survived hunger and his wound, which was now getting very painful, the murderer, he knew, would soon return and accom- l plish his purpose. With such thoughts his prospects were very gloomy, and | 8o he dozed away the hours, half fro- 1 zen and faint. It was the tenth night (he had 'ong lost count of time, bat ' found o atierwards) since the murderous attack, when he was awoke by'| a loud talking on the beach. | The moon, sailing over the leaden sky, enabled him to recognize the fig- | ures of several savages, hauling a ca- | noe on to the beach. He grasped his | revolver, determined to sell his life dear- | ly, for he was now fully persuaded that it must be his murderer returned | with assistance. It was strange, how- | ever, it struck him, that they had I lauded in such an exposed sitution.— | “Who are you ! he'inquired, in the | Chinook jargon—the trading language | of the coast. A low, surprised cry | came from them. They were appar- | ently unaware of the presence of any | one but themselves. Again he shout- | ed more cheerily, and they approach- | ed him, when he was delighted to rec- | oguize the familiar faces of several Bel'a Coola savages—old acquain- | tances of his. He told them his%tory ; | and as they listened he uncovered the | body of his murdered companion, they, | every now and ag-in, bursting into a | cry of horror. Food was prepared, | and every attention paid to him. The ! dead body was buried, and Black con- | veyed to the their village, where he | was carefully nursed until news reach- | ed the nearest white mau’s abode.— | The solitary colonist hnrried, and | happening to have been in earlier days i an officer in the army, he knew a lit- | tle aboutsurgery. He dressed Black’s | wounds, and conveyed him back to | the settlements, where, under proper | medical treatment, he slowly recover- ’ ed. But it was many months before l he could walk about without crutches, and to the end of life he will bear the | marks of -that fearful ‘experience of “putting through the winter” in the dark days of 186—. As we have a good deal (in novels) of the generous | savage, I may as well say that my | Eoor friend had to pay well for all the | ospitality he received. 'T'he water | he drank, the ground he lay on, the wood that warmed him, the food he ate, everything was charged tor, but most cheerfully paid. - It is, however, a greater pleasure to ' relate that, after the bill was paid, the Indians threw the execution of the murderer into the bargain. The avengers of blood found him in his lodge, comfortably awaiting the death of Black by starvation or cold, either of which he, no doubt, thought would save all “trouble. He seemed rather to exult when charged with shooting the white men ; but the Bella-Coola warriors took a different view of the matter, and with a summary justice, that would have done credit to a California vigilance committee, they shot him where he sat. it e

As for poor Black, I saw him dancing at a Christmas party not very long ago; but a terrible limp, which caused his partner to style him ah awkward sort of colonial fellow, told me another tale.—All the Year Round. ———— B——— A Lesson in Life. > The lessons of life, says an exchange —whether pertaining to business, morals or health—are hard to learn ; and it is only by frequent rehearsal of ‘the stern truths involved that they are learned and practiced. The main difference between a healthy person and the dissolute and sickly, is that the former has learned to regard and follow the laws of health. So in business, there are certain laws, the practice of which will invariably insure susceas, and the neglect of ‘them will as certainly bring the opposite result. Let two men, with-equal advantages, 8o far as means are concerned, start in business at the same time ; and if one is prompt in all his engagements, and knows' the value of money and time, his chances of success are threé to one as compared with his rival, who carelessly allows his engagements to run on at haphazard, until he is ashamed to meet his creditors, or who has never learned the value of money, and of the interest which it can earn for its Kosaassor, when it is allowed to help im. And nothing makes the difference between them but in the different modes in which they do business.— ‘Therefore, be prompt and punctual in all your engagements. - ‘NOW AND THEN.—In the early days a bride’s marriage-portion consisted of a feather ,beﬁ. six chairs; a cherry bureau, and a quantity of sand for wom;iag;ph‘_é», floor. Now-a-days the groom does not demand the sand 3}#6o;. if the bride’s' father will come own with the dust. et

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND : ITS PROSPECTS. ‘Never before, in the history of political parties, was there more ynanimity and hearty good feeling in the ranks of a political party, ti‘ap now #xists among the Democrats of Indiana. From all parts of the State come up the welcome news of harmonious, earnest work being done in behalf of the princlples and palicies of that time‘honored party, whose glorious achieve'ments in the past bid fair to be eclipsed by the still brighter future which is m store for it: - Farmers, tradesmen, business men and professional men are all ‘awakening to the tact that in the republican. party there is no hope of relief from the oppression under which the people are groaning ; no relief from the burdeus which are unequally borne by the people. A change is demanded which shall lighten these burdens, and insure an honest and economical administration of state and pational governments ; a'change which shall effect the displacement of thieves and. robbers who have defiled the balls of, justice by the most disreputable practices. No party bat the Democratic. party can bring about this change.— It is'worsé than folly to talk about new party organizations in opposition to radicalism. Nobody but radicals and their aiders and abettors want a new organization.. The Democratic party is stronger to-day than ever be-. fore ; it can rally more votes now than at any time since its organization; and . it has more conscientious, earnest stip- . porters and defenders than any other political party ever did or ever will have. It canand will successfully regist and overthrow defiant foes without and treacherous sneaks within its organization ; and it is to this active du- - ty that the earnest, hard working democrats are betdking themselves at this time. From all directions we hear that the earnest; hard working democrats are prepared for the contest, and will give a gcod account of themselves, and the cause for which they labor," when the campaign'is over. . | The prospects of a complete victory | never rested on a surer basis; and ev- 1 ery democrat, whether his influence be great or small, has the additional in- } centive ‘to exertion in behalf of his principles, which a pgespect of suceess insures. 1 i

Let every man who is in. favor of taxing bondholders the same as all other holders of property ;, who is in favor ot such changes in legislation as will insure an equal distribution of the taxation necessary to support the government, to be honestly and economically expended; who is in favor of one carrgncy for all; who is opposed to the mational bank swindle, the iniquitous and detestable tariff swindle ; who i 3 opposed to the corruption and profligacy which is sapping the life of the nation and defeating the ends of justice, —rally around ‘the flag of Democracy, the emblem of all that is pure. and good in government, and just and right between man and man. ; "~ And it is to the sapport of this grand old party that ail such are rallying. Men who, in the heat of political excitement and in obedience to the promptings of prejudice, vowed they would never vote a Democrat ticket, are coming to the conclugion that a'bad promise is ““more honored in the breach than in the observance,” and are hastening' to join our ranks. Let them come in such numbers that there cannot be found enough niggers and pigtailed Chinamen to fill their places — Plymoutn Democrat. . Lk

Linseed Cake and Meal. - We wonld call the attention of Dairymen, Stock Feeders, Farmers, Lum: bermen and Teamsters, to the use of Flaxseed Cake and Meal as the very best and most economical article: of feed. : : ' A

In Great Britain, where the comparative economy of different feeds’ is carefilly and scientifically studied, thig arucle has been subjected to the most thorough practical tests, as well as scientific analysis, and found to be of such superiority that the annual consumption =~ of this article alone amounts: to. over twelve millions of dollars in gold. Quite a percentage of this-comes from the United States. The excellence and superiority of Euglish beef and mutton, which is proverbial, as well as the fine appearance of their horses, is mainly due to the liberal use of Cake or Meal. :

It is, without question, the most concentrated feed in use, and has been so demonstratel by the most distinguished agricnltural chemists, as is shown by the following table: = THE- NUTRICIOUS PROPERTIES OF VEGETABLES AS COMPARED WITH LINSEED CAKE, OR MEAL.

Captain Eyre and his Punishment. The mere suspension of Capt. Eyre of the British Consulate for tie short period of six months, as a punishment for his cruel abandonment of the sinking crew of the Oneida, is a reflection upon the justice of the British nation. ‘Guilty of one of the blackest crimes on record, the commander of the Bombay deserves such punishment at the hands of the government whose service he has disgraced as will -deter others from repeating his inhuman act. He is responsible for the loss of thé one ‘hundred and twenty men whom he might have saved if he had possessed oue spark of the humanity that should exis in the heat of every sailor. The British governmentsho'd teach him that he cannot desert his fcllow men of any country, leaving them at the mercy of the waves with inevitable death staring them in the face. It has a duty to perform, and the world will not be satisfied with the punishment of such a heinous crime by suspending the offender six months from his command. . ‘We cannot conceive of such a wanton abandonment of drowning men as that of which Captain Eyre was guilty. There may ge' no lawito reach him, but he should be made to feel the righteous §ndig'natiou of the world at guch an atrocious deed. England, for the sake of her good name, should dismisg himfrom her service. She should teach her seamen, that, whatever’ be their rabk, they are not above the claims of humanity. The npatural promptings of the heart would generally lead men to assist the suffering and distressed, and no law was deem: ed necessary to enforce so humane a duty. But now that the world has learned that there is a seamen who has’ ignored the claims of his suffering and dying fellow men, and thus disgraced a profession that numbers in its ranks some of the noblest and most generous hearts of the age, let him be treated according to his merits. If Eogland restores Captain Eyre to his former command, or if he is permitted to assume any position whatever in the naval ‘service it will reflect upon the noble tars who have made the British service synpnymous with honor and gréatness of ‘soul.

Without consulting any special authorities upon the subject we answer ‘yes. The same power that adopted the amendment certainly has the power to repeﬁl it, a,pd upon euch repeal all privileges acquired under it would necessarily fall. - Suffrage is nothing more uor less than a privilege conferred by statutory’ provisions, and ‘as such is subject to the action of the legirlative power of the country. We admit that if it was even an acquired right there is no power that could divest tlre colored man of suffrage, except absolute revolution, and the entire upheaval of the political power of the State. If suffrage, therefore, was an inherent, right, independent of the State, there could be no question in regard to the matter; the State could not divest the possessor. Justas a man may acquire pro pecty as an defeasible right. He holds _possession, not as a privilege, but as his of right, of which no power can justly deprive him: ; ‘The privilege conferred by the 15th Amendment is simply one granted by the state for its own safety, and if at any time the state, to secure that safety, deems it necessary for the public good to withdraw the privilege iteclearly has the right. It was with this in view, anl 'a view which we believe will be borne out by the best legal minds in the country, that, a few days ‘since, we declared, it the necessity for it arrived, we should be among the first to demand the repeal of the Amendment. We are at present, however, in favor of fairly testing the matter, if it can be safely done without putting the political interest of our country to a too severe test. We are not sure but that at the present time the majority of the voters of the country are uncomprom isingly opposed to negro suffrage. In fact, we believethey are, and they only wait an opportunity for active co-oper-ation to secure the repeal of the 15th amendment. We, of ourown knowl‘edge, can most positively assert that there are many radicals in the country who are most bitter. in their hostility to this measure, meniwho, two or three years since, declared in the most emphatic manner that the party with which they were acting was not in favor of negro suffrage, only so fir as it acted as a measure of punishment to the South; that in that section of the country it was necessary, from the fact there was no loyal element upon which the states could be: reconstructed, and whoe believed the time would come when the privilege would be withdrawn even in that Bection. : These men are to-day as bitterly opposed to ‘the fifteenth amendment as any democrat in the land and who now refuse longer to affiliate with the party. : ! There are certain contingencies under which the American people will demand the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, and it lies alone with the negro voter, and the less respectable portion of the radical party, whether the provision of the constitution shall long remain a part of the fundamental law, We have no faith that it will stand as a part of the'constitution.— il‘ll9 neceseity for- its repeal, at an ‘early day, becomes more than ever apparent. We do not believe that thirtyfive millions of the Anglo:Saxon race will endanger the fair fabric of American liberty for the small portion of black population. . The repeal will be peaceable, forced upon the country by an inexorable necessity. How long before it shall become necessary to ac tively move in this direction we do not pretend to predict, but when the hour comes our voice willbe heard in the contest in favor of repeal. We care ‘not how soon it may be necessary to make the issue, and we care not how fiercely the battle may rage, we ex‘pect to nail our colors to the mast, on whose folds shall be insecribed “REPEAL.” - . - : ;

. With the negro we have no quarrel. ‘We have at all times disclaimed, and now disclaim, any personal hostility to the black race. We would do them no injury in person. We would not if we could,restore them to their former condition of servitude. 'We have not, however, favored the amalgamation of the political power of the country by the admission of the negro to the ballot. We should have sought other means to have rid the country of the danger of so large a population alien to our political institutions, as these freedmen would have left among us.— What those means are it is now unnecessary to discuss, and =o long as the fifteenth amendment remains there will be no necessity to provide for their, disposition. [k ‘ || el & R — e - The people of Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, all gave de cided majorities againat the adoption of negro suffrage; and yet the legislatures of all these states, controlled by radical majorities;, voted to force it upon their own constituents and all the other peoXle of the United States.— Two-thirds of the white voters of Pennsylvania were opposed to negro equality, and yet the radical majority in the legislature voted for the fifieenth amendment. It wag_only. by setting at defiancethe: sentiment of the people that the fifteenth amendment was nominally ratified. o i3l - — - E——— The New Harmony Register, after enumerating the many .claims he has. upon the people of the First District, and his eminent qualifications for the place, remarks that “ii is with no litte pride and pleasure that'it places at the head of its columns the honored name of William E.

.- MAKE A SCRAP BOOK, . . - - Every intelligent, progressive - farmer takes a paper. This is a fixed fact. It is to be hoped, too, that he has half'a dozen Jjournals, of one ‘sort or another .comin'g every month.

Then it would have been permanently saved ard - very convenient for reference. Preserving papers’ in files would save a!l the articles, but few would: ever take the trouble to look all through them for some point they wished to rcad over again. It womld seem too much like looking for the proverbial “needle in the hay-mow.” The scrap book gives you the very cream of your papers.. There are usually onlya few articles in each “one which seem to have been written express ly for you, and you do not care:to save those belonging to somebody else, You do not care to read the columns on beekeeping, when you never owned a bee in your life; but probably your neighber takes more interest in thatit’h“an__any other department. It is the beauty of every good paper that it has something in-for every one. et 3w el

On Wednesday, the Massachusetts house of representatives rejected the amendment to the constitution giving women the right to vote, by the decisive majori: ty of 183 to 68. We are profoundly astonished at this result, for.if thére be a spot on the habitable globe where females know what is what and desire no further information on the subject ; where every question -in religious, social, political, philpsophieal and medical science, has been thoroughly ventilated and is fally understood by the gentler sex, and where . the feminine brain has been cultivated to such an alarming extentias to seriously interfere. with the proper attention to the census, that’spot is most assuredly Masea. . chusetts.
