No Longer Dark.
The waves of a sunset sky
Were ebbing at eventide.
And the misty gleams of the softened light
Were fading on cvciy side.
'Twas dark whore tiie Angel Death
Was watching tire household Pet;
And a wild light sprung from the child's blue eye,
As tire seal of Death was set.
‘•Oh, mother! ’tls dark—so dark ;
The valley is drear and lone;
Let me clasp your hand while you lead me through,
For you can not leave your Own.”
And the little hand was clasped—
Was clasped with a look of woe,
And a kiss was pressed on the whitened lip ;
But the mother could not go.
“Dear father, the waves are dark ;
Tire waters so coldly flow;
You will bear me through to the 1 shining shore”
But the father could not go.
“Tiie tempest is gathering fast,
And tiie winds so wildly blow;
It is dark—so dark—must I go alone f”
But, alas ! for none could go.
Her glance was a fearful glance;
And the father knelt in prayer
That a Savior’s love, and tiie tight of hope
Might shine on iter wild despair.
The beam of a lingering ray
Had crept on the window sill,
And it kissed the face of the household Pet—
The face that was growing chill.
And a sudden gleam of joy
Encircled the cold white brow :
“’Tis no longer dark, I am not afraid;
For Jesus is with me now.”
And the blue eyes gentlv closed ;
And the hands were folded o’er;
And the lips were touched with the smile of Death
She had reached the “Shining Shore.”
LA PETITE.

Why is It ?
AYe ask the careful reading by every quali
fied voter of either political party, of the fol
lowing questions :
Why is the burden of taxation so oppres
eive 7
Why are there to-day hundreds of thousands
of white men and women in tho North living
in dread of starvation within the present
year?
Why are thirty millions of white men taxed
for the special benefit of a class who pay to
t-xes on the great bulk of their property?
Why should there he over two thousand
millions of dollars exempt from taxation?
If negroes are fit for freedom, why has a
great poor house system for their support to
ho kept up at tho expense of Northern indus
try ?
If the war was prosecuted for the purpose
of preserving the Union, why are ten States
kept out of it ?
Let the answer, as your own heart and in
telligence suggests, he given in November
next.— Ex.
Chops.—We saw a gentleman yesterday who
had just returned from a trip through Ilonrv,
Dale and Coffee counties, in Alabama. Tho
prospect for a cotton crop is very had, ho say*.
The ravages of the caterpillar, boll worm, and
the wet weather preceding the appearance of
these pests, have injured the cotton very seri
ously, and the farmers think the yield will he
very limited.— Columbus Enquirer.
In 1806, nearly 28,tKX) Radical majority in
Maine. In 1868, nearly 20.00 U Radical major
ity in Maine! Great Radical gains! Hurrah
till you’re hoarse! If a cat’s at. the bottom of
a well, and jumps up two feet every day, only
to full hack three every night, how long before
she'll get out ? and if the Radicals lose eight
thousand votes every two years, on a majority
of 28,000 in Maine, how long will it take at
that rate to make the Radical yote unanimous?

A beefsteak was cooked and some potatoes
were baked in the sub in London on the 22d
of July. The sun's rays alone did the work
in about twenty minutes. The food was
placed in a small box closed over with three
panes of glass about an inch apart.
N- utii and South America.—The earth
quake in south America gulped down S3OO,
000.000. The Radical earthquake swallows up
annually $500,000,000.
Sharp. —A postmaster in lowa writes to
Tommy Tuilock that he shall not pay the
assessment levied on him. lie gives his rea
son at length, concluding:
I may as well make a long story short, and
tell you that 1 have no money for highway
robbers. I have no money to spend in des
troying constitutional government. I have no
money to employ in taking the clothes from
poor white children’s backs to give them to
idle negroes or thieving bureau agents. I
have no money to give to perpetuate anarchy,
robbery and rule, but will cheerfully give my
money, my time and my influence to the
election of Seymour and lllair, a statesman
and a soldier.
lle's Pardoned. —One of the Grant electors
n Alabama is an ex-Confedorate captain, who
swore a solemn oath never to take a Federal
prisoner alive. Being a convert to Radicalism,
he is now regarded as a sound tcaeher of the
people, and his previous sins have all been
pardoned. Any fellow that blows the Radical
bugle and carries n carpet hag is considered a
tit champion for Grant and Colfax, no matter
what may have been his conduct during the
War.
The only Radical in Fulton county, Ky.,
has rcptctly absconded with $20,000 of other
people's money.

The following is from the “ Reveries of a
Bachelor,” by Ike Marvel:
“A poor man without some Surt of religion
is, at best, a poor reprobate, the football of des
tiny, with no tie linking Him to infinity and
the wondrous eternity that is even worse, a
flume without a heat, a rainbow without eolor,
a flower without perfume. A man may, in
some sort, tie his hopes and honors to this
weak, shifting ground tackle, in his business,
or the world; hut a woman without that anchor
called faith, is a drift and a wreck. A man
may clumsily continue a sort of moral respon
sibility, out of relation to mankind, hut woman,
in her comparatively isolate 1 sphere, where af
fection aid not motive, can find no basisin any
other system, or right action hut that of faith.
A man may craze Ills brain, or His thoughts to
truthfulness in such poor harborage as fame,
ami reputation may stretch before him, but
woman—where can she put her hopes in storms,
if not in heaven ? And the sweet trustfulness
—that abiding love—that enduring hope mel
lowing every page and scene of life—lightening
them with pleasant radiance, when the world’s
storms break like an army with cannon ! Who
can bestow its all but holy soul, tied to what
is stronger than an army’with cannon ? Who
has enjoyed the thought with energy, and hal
lowed it with a tear?”
The West.
Advices, private and newspaper, state that
in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois a
most extraornary enthusiasm for the Demo
cratic cause prevails. The meetings far sur
pass anything seen in that country for the last
twenty years. The processions are computed
by miles, and fifteen and twenty thousand
have been a very ordinary attendance upon a
public meeting. The State Central Committee
telegraph the Cincinnati Enquirer as folj
lows :
Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 17, 1868.
We have advices from all parts of the State
which make assurance doubly sure that Ohio
will give a Deiiricratic majority in October,
and then go for Seymour and Blair in Novem
ber.
From Detroit, the same paper has the follow
ing dispatch :
This evening there are in progress two
torchlight processions. One was goiten up
by the Radicals, with two carpet hag Govern
ors as the attraction, which drew a pro
cession of six hundred torches. The other
is a monster procession of Democrats, with
thre thousand tcrelic--, numerous banners and
a cavalcade of horsmen.
The procession extended nearly three miles,
and created tlir- utmost enthusiasm along
the line of march which was crowded with
spectators.
Speaking in German, French and English is
now going on from stands adjacent to the
Democratic headquarters.
The Ktfects of Radicalism.
Tennessee has been reconstructed aud under
Radical rule for two years. A correspondent
gives tills picture of the condition of affairs
in that State which this rule lias brought
about:
“Tliere is no sadder picture in the blood
written history of Tennessee than that presen
ted at this time. With all the natural strength
and wealth of a nation in itself, and an almost
tropical beauty and richness of scenery, there
is no spot on earth more cursc-d, no land so
blighted,no dependency more completely at the
mercy of a systematic despotism. When any
country is brought to that stage where its own
people—those who have proudly watched its
growth in prosperous days 5 who have built
up all that is great and good within it, and
who ask for no hotter heritage that a quiet
grave beneath its peaceful skies—are forced to
flee to other lands for the protection they can
not receive at home, there is little hope for
liberty there.”
A IJrnve Act by a Brave Girl.
The Boston Transcript, of a reccntdate, says
“several women wore bathing at Vahantinthe
early part of the week, when one was carried
out by a sea beyond her depth, and after scream
ing for assistance, suddenly went down. One
of her friends, close by, not knowing the depth
of the water, went to try and save her, and sho
too as quiek!v disappeared. A young woman
residing in the family of Dr. Miffin, at Nahant,
named Bridget’Mary O'Toole, (her name is
given in full, to her praise, for it is worthy of
record,) at a great risk, instantly swam ont to
them, and nfter a hard struggle brought them
into shoal water—having her own bathing dress
almost torn from her, and being twice drawn
under the water. Those who witnessed the
scene at once reported the facts to the Humane
Society, and the girl is to be presented with a
medal for her heroism anil humanity.”
The Air Line Railroad.
The Anderson (S. C.,) Intelligencer of the
23d ult, contains the following notice of the
progress of the Air Line Railroad in that State
and into North Carolina :
“In the House, on Wednesday last, the hill
to amend the charter of the Air Lino Railroad,
from Atlanta, Georgia, to Charlotte, North
Carolina, was under discussion. The amend
ments allow the Road to receive subscriptions
of land or labor, and issue preferred stock to
the amount of 5i,000,000. The bill finally
passed, having previously received its third
reading in the Senate. In a conversation with
the President of the road, Col. Buford, we
were led to believe that this important enter
prise will be pressed forward without delay.”
“You arc at the very bottom of the hill,”
said the physician tq a sick patient, “but I
shall endeavor to get you up again. “I seer
I shall ho out of breath before I reach the top,”
was tho reply.
}>'hat Mr.Seymour Says Abont the election.
“Pink,” the New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, in a letter, writes as fol
lows :
I can communicate to your readers the grat
ifying intelligence that on Wednesday last
Governor Seymour, in a conversation held at
Utica with a member of the State Committee,
expressed his entire confidence in the coining
success of the Democratic ticket. The Gover
nor lee’s assured that he will he the next
President of the United States. All the evi
dence in regard to the progress of the canvass
throughout the whole country is now pointing
in that direction. He acknowledged that at
first there was not visible evidence of success.
It took some weeks after the nominations had
been made for some sections of the country to
reconcile themselves to his (Seymour's) posi
tion on finances, but now all is working ad
mirably, and (lay by day, almost, tho strength
of the ticket is increasing. In one word, Mr.
Seymour is convinced Democracy will succeed.
He does not attribute that to his personal
popularity, hut to the almost universal desire
for a change of party to administer the affairs
of the Government. lam personally acquain
ted with the gentleman who had the above
conversation with Governor Seymour, and he
informs me that he has known the Governor
for the last thirty years, and always found him
correct in his prophecies in regard to his (Sey
mour’s) own chances in this State, and also
to national elections.
Bovs in Blue for Seymour.—The editor of
the Huntsville Democrat says:
“\Ye have conversed with a good many of
the soldiers of the eight companies of the
United States Infantry, stationed at this post,
and they assure us that they believe there is
not a private in their ranks who is favorable
to the election of Grant—all for Seymour.—
A private of one of the companies remarked
that while stationed at Selma, they had one
Grant man, and he deserted. The privates of
the loth regiment, which left Huntsville a few
weeks ago, made the same report as to their
political predilections. Are these “hoys in
blue rebels and disloyal ?”
Warning to Courting Young Men.—An
exchange tells of a lawsuit brought by the
father of a young lady against a young man
who had been courting his (the father’s) Lu
cinda. The suit was brought to recover for
the use of room, lights, fuel, meals, etc., while
the young man was courting Lucinda at the
house of plaintiff. The prosecution showed
that the defendant was at his house from three
to five nights per week ; that lie nsuallv re
mained until four o’clock in tho morning, and
oftentimes after breakfast. The case attracted
much attention. The decision is one that will
interest young men who are in the habit of
“sipping drops from tho bewitching cup of
bliss ” until four o’clock in the morning, in as
much as it allows them to continue sipping
such nectar without fear of lawsuits for dam
ages. The Justice rendered a decision of “no
cause of action.”
Wonderful Story, if True. —A wonderful
story is in circulation in this town this mor
ning”ahout a man at CristieiJ, who has been
stricken down for blasphemy. The story runs
thus: The man (we can't learn the name)
on liunday last started off very early to go
fishing. His wife persuaded him not to go,
insisting lie would ho violating tho laws of
God by so doing. The man remarked that he
could go and “catch a mess offish before Jesus
Christ would awake," and proceeded to tho An
namessix river. On arriving at the shore 110
sank down in the sand up to his neck, where
he still remains, notwithstanding every cfllu t
to extricate him by digging away tho sand.—
This has been done, and his hoots cut to free
his feet, hut he still remains there as inextri
cable as ever.
Mr. Wilson, our telegraph agent at Clayton,
sent a telegram last night to learn tho facts
in the ease, and the operator at Crisfield
replied that they were as stated above. The
greatest excitement is reported to prevail there.
Wc give the item as furnished us by the
railroad employees here, without vouching
for it in any way. It beats the ghost story.—
Smyrna Times.
Governor Curtin on Governor Seymour.
—Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania, says the
Buffalo Courier , was asked the other day, in
the Union League Club House, of Philadelphia,
what was his opinion of Governor Seymour,
lie replied: “'Veil, sir, if I were asked to
mention a man who, in my estimation, pos
sessed the attributes of a perfect gentleman, a
cultivated scholar, a thorough statesman and
a sincere Christian, I would, without hesita
tion, name Horatio Seymour of New York.’’
“How about Seymour’s loyalty?” “After the
dispatches I sent Seymour at the time of the
rebel raid into Pennsylvania,” replied the
Governor, it would hardly become me to im
pugn liis loyalty ; the fact is, I have never
doubted it. I understand that Belmont is
having all the dispatches sent by Stanton and
myself printed, and I have no doubt they will
be in the hands of every Democratic stump
speaker through the campaign. Wo had
better give np attacking Seymour’s loyalty,
for the opposition hold the trump card in that
matter.”
Onions vs. Epidemics. —Onions as a specific
against epidemics are recommended by a cor
respondent of the Scientific American. If
sliced and kept in a sick room they will absorb
all atmospheric poison. They should be re
placed by a fresh one every hour. It is noticed
that in the room of a small pox patient they
blister and decompose with great rapidity,
hut will prevent tho spread of the disease, —
Their application has also proved effectual in
cases of snake bites.

More Gluck Repudiation of Carpet-bagger**
A mass meeting of negroes was held on tho
Capitol square, at Richmond, Ya., on Monday
evening, at which action was taken, showing
that in Virginia, as well as in Georgia and
South Carolina, the negroes are getting their
eyes opened to the true character of the carpet
baggers, and demonstrating that in any com
munity composed of the two races, and in
which thay arc made political equals and co
rulers, they will divide by race and color, and
that it will ho impossible to make them act
together in harmony. At this Richmond
meeting, resolutions were adopted declaring
want of confidence in the Republican State
Central Committee, because it is not in favor
of justice and equal rights to all. Several
speakers addressed the crowd denouncing the
carpot-linggers as needy politicians, who had
come to Virginia to make a living out of the
blacks, and who did not intend the blacks
should hold office. Tho case of the negroes in
the Georgia Legislature was brought up as a
warning. The black speakers were particu
larly severe on the carpet-haggors. Tho re»o
lutions were passed by acclamation.
Thus the work of race-division goes on,
fully sustaining the position which the oppo
nents of negro suffrage have taken from the
beginning. Every case like that above stated,
proves the failure of Jacobin reconstruction.
First comes raco-division. Next will ensue a
war of races, when one race or the other must
go under, and probably lie exterminated.—
This is the peace which the election of Grant
will bring to tho country. There can be no
peace while the two races are made to sustain
the relations they do now to each other, and
force is used to compel submission to a system
so repulsive to tho white men of the Soutb.
Every day's experience makes more evident
the impossibility of coercing two different
races of men to form and live in unnatural
relations and overcome nntipathies and incom
patibilities which are not only the growth of
ages, but arise from laws established by tho
Creator himself.— X. Y. Democrat.
A gentleman who had carefully trained np
his servant in tho way he should go, so that
when his wife was present he might not de
part from it, sent him with a box ticket for
the theatre to a young lady. The servant
returned when the gentleman and the wife
were at dinner, lie had, of course, been told,
in giving answer to certain questions, to sub
stitute the masculine for the feminine pronoun
in speaking of the lady.
“Did you see him ?” asked the gentlemen
giving him the cue.
“Yes, sir,” replied the servant, “he said
he'd go with a great deal of pleasure.”
“What was he doing?” askod the wife,
carelessly.
“lie was putting on his bonnet,” was the
reply.
There was “fat in the fire” immediately.
Wendell. —Wendell Phillips, the model
man of tho Radical party, says he wiR vote for
General Grant, although he has no confidence
in him, and denounces the Radical platform as
“shuffling, evasive, unprincipled aod corrupt.’
And yet he supports it and its candidate, and
why? Because a vole for Grant is a vote for
negro suffrage. Anything to fly the black flag
above tho white.
The enthusiasm for Seymoui and Blair
throughout the West is so great that the atten

Scientific Wonder.
We take the following item from the Georgia
Citizen:
“ Our attention was yesterday called to one
of the greatest curiosities we have ever beheld.
Drs. Hardwick, Hinkle and McLeonp for the
purpose of dissecting and experimenting, had
obtained of the butchers, the eye of an oil—
Having operated upon it hut little, they put it
away for preservation in a bottle of caTbonio
acid. Upon taking it up again they discovered
upon the retina, a clearly defined photograph
image of a man. We had known that it was
said by scientific men that the image of the last
person looked upon was left upon the eye of a
dying man, and by this means murderers had
been detected. This phenomenon described
confirms this assertion.
A Faut.—Put the Democrats in power, and
they will reduce the expenses of government
one hundred million a year below what it bas
been each year for the last three years, and
apply 850,000,800 or 875,000,000 a year to
ward the reductioTi of the national debt.
