A YANKEE SERENADE.
Sung by a love sick Swan , accompanying himself on a
fiddle, under his Sweetheart's bed room window.
Wake, lady wake ! The moon are high,
The twinklin’ stars are beamin’;
While, now and then across the sky,
A me-te-or are streamin’.
Wake, lovely one ! The sky are clear ;
Refreshing in the breezes ;
It blows njy nose while I sit here
A fiddlin’ ’neath the tresses.
Wake, Sa'ly dear ! The bull-frog's note.
Are heard in yonder rushes;
And the warbling tree toad swells his throat,
Singin’ in them are bushes.
Wake, Venus mine ! The whippowill
Sings on the rail fence, yonder,
While the owl pipes olut his hootin’ shrill—
Why don't she wake 1 wonder ?
Softly, on the grassy lea,
The moon her beams are pourin’)
The Stars look down and wink at me
By Gum, if Sal ain’t snorin’!
Wake, Sally, wake and look on me l
Awake, Squire Curtis’ daughter !
If I’ll have you and you’ll have me—
By George ! who threw that water ?
Oh cruel Sally, thus to slight—
Here conies the hull-dog now !
“Bow-wow !”—Oh ! ow ! he’s got a bite !
Alas 1 —“ Bow-wow !"—Oh ! ow !
A Picture by Nast. —There a picture by
Thomas Nast, in the last number of Every
Saturday, which we should be untrue to
ourselves to permit to pass unnoticed. The
subject is‘Decoration Day.’ The Goddess
of Liberty, kneeling before two monuments
in a churchyard, which bear respectively
the significant inscriptions ‘U S. A.’ and
‘C. S. A.,’ is represented in the act of pla
cing the cypress wreath upon each stone,
while in the back ground, the spectral fi.«
glire's of two soldiers stand sadly and sol
emnly With hands clasped Upon the belt
plate of one is to be seen the initials *U. S.’
and upon the cartouch-bux ol the other
‘O. S.’ which tells the whole sad story. The
picture is peculiarly impressive aud touch
ing, and is one of the happiest achieve
meets of the geViias of tile great American
artist, and faV hiore worthy of that gLVii'us
than spitefully conceived political caitbous
calculated to stimulate only sectional bit
terness and resentment. We recall to
mind the fact—honorable as it was to the
truest chivalry of the South —that in 1861
the women of Columbus, Mississippi strew.-
ed flowers alike on the graves o’ the Ved<-
oral and Confederate soldiers—an incident
touchingly recorded in a poem entitled
‘The Blue and the Gray,’ published in the
Atlantic Monthly for September, 1861 :
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fading
No braver battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew.
* Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue,
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They banish our anger forever
Vfiitm they latvel the graves of our deal

ANOTHER SHOT AT WHITTEMORE

Uongress from the First District
State on Tuesday. This is a scanda.
the National House of Representatives thav
should be provided against in some man
ner. Whittemore was re-elected by the
newly enfranchised colored voters of South
Carolina, and it is quite certain that the
country might have been spared the dis
grace of having him again in CongVesfe, If
the whites had also been enfranchised.
But a few demagogues in that body seem
determined to prevent a general amnesty,
which wmild place the affairs of the South
in the hands of the intelligent educated
class, instead of leaving them under the
control of another class which is both ig®
norant of, and*'incompetent to discharge,
the duties of citizens. There was rnqre_
poetic justice in giving the vote to Tfee to
tally uneducated sl;<ves of the So.u.th than
wisdom ; but if, at tie same time, all po
litical disabilities bad been removed from
the intelligent whiles, there would have
been less chance of ultimate harm result
ing to the country from the bestowal of the
ballot on the former cl Ass.
It is time the sortof men of whom Whit*.
ternore is the type should Cea&e to Ulaitn
seats in Congress : but so long As they
can inveigle the freed met) iritb Voting for
them, while more intelligent Southerners
are prevented from voting against them,
the carpet-baggers will coutihue to dis

A Costly Turnout.— The New York World
thus describes the ‘turn out’ of Jim Fisk,
Jr., in that city :
James Fisk, Jr. is about to Create 4 new
sensation. In a few days he will turn out
with anew six-in hand, and this six-ill*
hand is expected to be the Hiost costly of
the sort that ever put hi an appearance on
the drives in and about this city. For
nearly a month Waldron—who has made
heraldy a life-long study—has been en
gaged iD designing and manufacturing the
mountings for the harhess which the ani*
mals belonging to the six ih hand are to
weaT. The bit basses which are to be fast
ened to the sides oF the bits are of heavily
plated gold, each bearing the monogram
'J. F., Jr j The bits are of nickel plate.
The martingales, tvhiCh are gold plate, are
very heavy , and each of them carries a cen*
tre shield, on which the monogram again
appears. The gag drops are gold •so are
the brow .bauds atid the Coupling*rings.
B*dow each of the rings a shield will dans
gle, and on this shield the Fisk monogram
will again appear. The twelve rosettes to
be worn by the horses will be of gold, each
illustrated by the Fisk monogram. The
hooks, tents, hames and buckles are all of
gold, as are also the dropa, face-pieces and
pads. The hames will cost $3,000, the
mountings SI,OOO, while the whole equip*
page, including horses and carriage, will
cos*. $35,000 Over one hundred and forty
mouograms will appear on the harness.
The mountings for this splendid turnout
are the finest eVer made iu this country.
Mr. Fisk, it is expected, will take his six
in-hand to J-rome Park uext week, where
among the orilliant turnouts, it will doubts

yesterday by the marriage bt a young

Rucker, pastor t>f the colored Baptist
Church of this city. It seems the pariics
came from Alabama, procured a license in j

diiring the afternoon a warrant was issued
and the parties tukeu before Justice Shivp

were sent to the guardshousc. The efflein

only asks ill turn that when you look Upon
her, your eyes shall speak a hiute deVotion;
that When yoU address her, your voice
shall be gentle, loving and kind • that yoti
shall not despise her because she cannot
understand all at once your vigorou
thoughts and ambitious plans; for when
.misfortune ahd cVil have defeated your
greatest purposes, her love remains to con
sole you. You look upon the trees for
strength and grandeur ; do not despise the
flowers because ‘heir fragrance is all they

GoipocßiA. A letter from Havana to the

cution by the garrotte of General Goicou

He was denied food daring the two dajrs
preceding his execution iu order that his
voice might be so weakened as to prevent
h :, e speaking on the scaffold; in spite of
this, however, he.had. the pOWeptb articn*

be free 1 free I—yes, at ho distant day ! I
ath rejoiced now in the thought that 1 have
labored for Cuba for thirty years I God
bless and keep Cuba 1 LoDg may she

priest crammed his pocket handkerchief in
the mouth of this brave man, whereupon
the drams began to beat, and the iron neck*
tie was adjusted to the throat of the victim.
A few minnteß and all was over with the
noble man, who freely gave his lifeblood

rue next time you pranefe up Broadway
just take especial notice of the lady gam
chewers. YVe have been making „ study
of this thing for a week or two. There is
theichewist. who buys her gum when oo
bbdy is looking, nips off a little piece* and
chews it on the sly. You can only detect
her after long practice. Then there is the
don’t bare a durn’ sort, who chew with a
vigor* and don’t care who sees them. They
open their mouths liko railroad depots, and
their teeth come down on the devoted chaw
like forty thousand bricks. Between these
two extremes there are various grades of
chewers—the graceful and the awkward,
the bold and the sly, ad infinitum. Another
thing, too. The exact state of the dear
creature’s mind 6au be told by her manner
of chewing Should her spirits be serene,
she chews with a languid, easy sort of a
swing to her jaws; if she bo angry or
otherwise, *he chews vehemently and savs
agely. A great study is that of the lady
gum-bhewers.— New York Democrat.
Ah, this beautiful worid J I know not
what to think of it. Sometimes it is all
sunshine and gladness, aud Heaven itself
lies not far off; and then it suddenly chan
ges, and is dark and sorrowful, and the
clouds shut out the day. In the life of the
saddest of us there are bright days like
this, wheri we feel as though we could take
the world in onr arms. Then come the
gloomy hours, when the fire will not burn
in oUr hearths, and all without and within
is dismal, cold and dark. Believe me, ev
ery heart has its sec Vet sorrows, which the
world knows not, and sometimes we call a
man cold when he is only sad,— Longfellow.
On Wife the Revolution ! — The Demd*
cratic moVettient, Bays the Savannah Re*
publican) is still onward, conquering and
to conquer. Oregon follows close on the
heels of New York, rolling up a handsome
majority against the administration, and
making the State thoroughly Democratic.
The opposition have not only the Governs
or and the Legislature, but a United States
Senatof is part of the victoty. Are Grant
and his fdilo'wets so blind that they cannot
read this ‘‘hand writing ph the wall”—that
they cannot sec they have been weighed
in the balance and found wanting—that
theft policy and conduct as a party have
incurred the displeasure of the American
people, and that sdoh they will be driven
from power and the positions they have
used for their own personal
merit and the overthrow of the prosperity
and iibefties of the people ? Have they no
respect for the people that will cause them
to retrace their revolutionary and disor
ganizing steps, and put the government in
sympathy with the wishes of the govern*
ed ? If itißetisible to such warnings as
these, they are cdllous indeed, and like
most other madmen, are bent on self de
struction, For the good of the country,
the catastn phe cannot come too soon.
How to Raise Parsnips.- —Select a rather
heavy loam, but clean and rich. Plow it
deep and harrow it thoroughly as early as
it can be worked; mark off in rows fifteen
inches apart, and drill in the seed or soiv by
hand. Use pletity oF seed, two or three to
the inch, and be sure it is fresh. Go
through the rows with a pronged hoe, ot
other implement, as soon as they can be
distinguished. When large enough, thin
the plants to stand four or five inches apar
and be sure that they stand singly. Keep
the land clean by frequent hoeing. One
thousand bushels to the acre may be raised
where the land is very rich, but not five
hundred tipdn laud not highly manured.
They arc good food for cows-
