To Lulu C-
And dost thou think that I can e'er
Forget thy lovely form ’r
Will thought of thee, to me moat dear.
Sink 'neath the wildest storm.
Shall blited friendship, pain or death,
Bid thoughts of iliec depart ?
Or consolation’s balmy breath
Seduco thee from my heart !
The turtle dove may have her nest—
The Pelican her young,
But memory binds thee to this breast
With cords tar, far more strong.
No, Whilst my quickening pulses flow,
Or life's warm current rige,
With love to thee this heart shall glow.
When every passion dies.

‘Civil Rights’ in a Barber Shop.
A Chattanooga letter to the Cincin
nati Commercial tells the following:
That was a good reply which a col
ored barber in this city a del
egation of colored men who called up
on him for the purpose of claiming
the right to be shaved “the same sis a
white man.” “Sir,” said the spokes
man of the delegation, “we demand
the right to bo shaved here.”
“It can’t be done.” answered the
colored barber.
Then tho spokesman came down
with a pertinent thrust, saying, “Ain’t
our money ns good as anybody's V ’
And the coloreu barber answered thus:
“Yes, just as good, but there is not
enough of it.”
That covered the case exactly. It
was n:i answer worthy of a philoso
pher. Tho darkey’s money is as good
as anybody’s to the barber, but tliero
is not enough of it to compensate him
for the loss of his white custom.
Tho barber, in telling me this cir
cumstance, “said: “I am a colored
man, and have to work for a living,
and the minute I commenced shaving
darkeys that minute every one of my
white customers would leave me. The
biggest Radical in town would quit
me just like the Democrats. I’ts con- 1
trary to the nature of a white man to
want to mix that way w'th the negroes;
and, what’s more, they won't do it.
Yon can't get a white man in this
town to shave in a shop where ne
groes are shaved. I woul lu’t either,
if I was them, and I'm not going to
break up my business to accommodate
a few swell-bead niggers who want to
put on all the style of white men.”
“Now, when colored men will not
admit their colored brethern to tho
enjoyment of equal rights in the bar
ber shop, how are we to expect white
men to do it ?
Curious Calculation-
There is somethin" wonderful in
figures and numbers; when calculated,
startle us by their immensity. We
talk of millions and billions with lit
tle thought of the vastness of the sums
we name. The lips may utter the
words glibly, but the understanding
fails to grasp their real significance.
Take our own national dabt as an il
lustration. Everybody knows it is
large, but few have ever stopped to
consider its appalling magnitude. A
few calculations will not, we trust, be
uninteresting to our readers:
Let us suppose that the national
debt is, iu round numbers, $2,500,000.
It an experienced cashier was to com
mence counting this, at the rate of
three silver dollars per second, and
work dilligently eight hours per day,
three hundred days in the year, it
would take him about one hundred
years to complete the count.
If the silver dollars were placed side
by side, touching each other, they
would reach nearly three times round
the word; they would pave a highway
the width of Chicago’s streets more
than two hundred miles in length.
Fused into one solid mass of pure
silver, they would make a column ten
feet square and two thousand five
hundred feet high, or a bar fifty miles
long and one foot square.
If each silver piece be estimated at
one ounce in weight, and the money
loaded inte carts containing one ton
each, and driven one before the other,
eaeh horse cart occupying two
rods, the procession would exten 1 five
hundred miles.
Or consider that only one billion
minutes have elapsed since the birth
of Christ, and that if one dollar had
been pui away each rniuute, day and
night, since that event, the accumula
tion would amount to but little more
than one-third of the debt this nation
now owes. If this calculation was ap
plied to England or France, whose
national debt is nearly twice as large
as ours, the result would be still more
startling.— Chicago Inter- Ocean.
To Remove Grease from Carpets.—
Take equal quantities of powdered
magnesia and fuller’s earth, also pow
dered, mix them to a paste with hot
water, and spread a layer of the mix
ture on the greased spot, allowing it
to remain for twenty-four hours, or
till quite dry, and then brush it off,
when it will be found that the carpet
is cleaned.
