KEGRO FIREUEN. In the Northern cities the people know nothing whatever of the peculiar songs and choruses with which our negro fire memcnliven the tiresome homeward pull ftpm a fire. One person sings the sins le line and the whole company, consisting ♦stenos a hundred men, join with full strength of lungs in the choruses. The subjoined will give an idea of this style of harmony: Capt. Bob —We’s going down de river to New r ’ Orleans. Chants— Ho! hoi When we git dar we’ll tell ’em yous a cornin’. Ho 1 Susyanna, ho!

Many at, has \\ novel in Mr. Bent ley’s hands, entitled “Love’s Conflict’ Saturday Night. What blessed tilings Saturday nights are, and what would the world do without them ? Those breathing moments in the tramp ing march ol life ; those little twilights in the broad and garish glare of noon, when pale yesterdays look beautiful through the shadows, and faces “chang ed” long ago, smile sweetly again in the hush ; when one “the old folks at home,” and the old fashioned fire, and the old aim-chair, and the little brother that died, and the little sister that was “translated.” Saturday night makes people human ; sets their hearts to beating softly, as they used to do, before the world turned them into war drums, and jarred them to pieces with tattoos The ledger closes with a clash ; the iron-doored vaults come to with a bang; up gq the shutters with a will ; efick goes the key in the lock. It is Saturday night, and business breathes free again. Homeward, ho! The door that has been ajur all the week gently closes be hind him ; thi world is all p, pt out - Shutout? Shut in, the rut;. . Here are his treasures after o; 1, and a.a in tin book—save the record in die o i f;vni!v Bible—and not in ti e bank. May be you lire a bachelor, frosty, ai.d forty. Titen, poor fellow ! Saturday night’s nothing to you, just as you are nothing to s»uy oody. Get a wife, blue eyed or black-eyed, but above all, true eyed—get a little home, no matter how little, and a little sofa, just to hold twig or two-and-a-half, and then get the two, or the two-and-a-half in it, of a Satur day night, and then read tills paragraph by the light of your wife’s eyes, and thank God and take courage The dim and dusty shops are swept up ; the hammer is thrown down, the apron is doffed, and laborer hastens with a light step, homeward bound. . ‘‘Saturday night!” feebly murmurs the languishing sufferer, as she turns weari ly upon her couch, “and is there another to come ?” “Saturday night at last!’’whispers the weeper above the dying, “and it is Sunday to-morrow, and to-mor row !’— N* ¥.
