The South has not yet forgotten the
Provost Marshall's order, by which,
Confederate Gray was forbidden, as
wearing apparel, on pain of “trriS!; and
imprisonment.” The order at the time
was regarded as crutl and oppressive,
as many of our brave boys bad no oth
er clothing, than their gray uniforms
The following spirited lint* which we
clip fio:ii the Ilaw. i sville. Dispatch,
tou memorates the event, wri t, n while
smarting under the insulting order, by
one who for years bail gloried in the
lost cause and in G n derate Gray,
but who, having laid down his arms,
was powerless to resent insult—it is not
surprising, that indignant feeling should
have found vent, in the following scath
ing lines. These verses will live long
after the occasion that inspired them is
forgotten :
OFF WITH YOUR GRAY SUITS, BOYS '■
Written in answer to an order oj the
Yankee Provost Marshal to take off
Cunjed+ule uniforms.
BY B0BKRT FALLIGANT.
Off with your uray suits, hoys !
Off with your rebel gear !
They smack too much of the cannon’s peal—
The lightning flaJi of vour deadly steel—
The terror of your war 1 .
Their color is like the smoke
Tha curled o'er your battle’s line I
It ca Is to in nd the yel. that woke
When t .e dustaid co umns before you broke
And thiir dead wtre your fatal Sign I
Off with the starry wreath,
Ye who have led our van 1
To you ’twas the pledge of glorious death,
As we follow, d you over the gory heath,
YY'hcre we whipped them, mau to man 1
Down with the Cross of Stars!
T oo long has it waved on hieh !
’Tis covered a 1 over with buttle scars,
Buti.s gleam the negro banner mars—
’Tis t.rne to lay it by !
Down with the vows we’ve made !
Down with each memory I
Down with -houghts of our noble dead I
Down ! ti wn io the dust wucre their forms are
laid I
And down with Lil>crty !

[From the New Yoik Express, 11th.]
Charles Dickens.
Charles Dickens was bom at Ports
mouth, E-igiaiid, Feb: uary 7, 1812, and
was c ■nsoqiieiitly, at the time of Ins
death, 5S years old. His father, who
for many vears hail held tin office n
the Navy D partment, retired on a pen
sion m 1815, mid, being a rnau of liter
ary’ tastes, became a reporter for the
daily press ot L <ndon. IIis son he
intended for an auoruev, and placed
him in an attorney's office to acquirt
ihat knowledge which, in iater years,
was turned io such advantage in the
world of fiction. The drudgery of an
office, however, ill suited the tastes and
habits ot Dickens, so that we soon fi..d
bun abandoning all hope of tiie pios-
pcctive woo sack and engaging in the
more genial tasks of newspaper critic
and reporter. A series ot sketches ot
London life and n aimers, published
over the signature of‘Boz,’ first brought
him into notice, and o attracted the at
tention of Mr. Hall, of the firm of
Cnapman A Hall, as to indole that gen
tK inaii to prevail upon the author, then
about 24 years ot age, to engage in the
composition of a worK of fiction. The
resuit wjis the production of the ‘Pick
wick Papers,’ which were completed
and publish-.d collectively in 1837
From the period of the publication ot
this work dales the author’s almost un
varying success and popularity. Fol
lowing it, m the succeeding year, came
‘Oliver Twist.’ During tne three suc
ceeding years came ‘N cnolasNickleby’
atid ‘Master Humphrey’s Clock,’ the
later compiising the ‘Old Curiosity
Shop’ and ‘B.u natty Rjtlg*.’ After
the publication of the latter work,
Dickeus sailed for America, arriving in
Boston, January 22, lc42, aud return
ing to England on tiie 3d ot the follow
ing June. At the close of the follow-
v« ar were published his American
Notes for General Circulation.’ Much
as has been the ill leebng caused by the
publication of this work, an unbiased
ptrusal of its pages has pro.ed, by af
ter experience, the justice of many of
us sinctuies. Aniencan society has
improved vastly within the last thirty
yiars, and we ourselves must now con
fess, looking back upon what we were,
and seeing what we are, that the novel
ist, aOer all, was no harder upon us
than we really deserved.
Iu 1843, the ‘Christmas Carol’ ap
peal ed, ns homely s ntimeni and gem
al straightforwardness immediately
winning tor it admirers. In tne follow
y< ar, ‘Martin Cnuzz ewit’ appeared, in
monthly numbers, and towards the ciose
of the same year Dickens went with
tus family to Italy. On January 1,
1846. he ar-sumed the editorial control
ol me Daily News, a morning news
paper started in London on the liberal
side of poliiics. But in this position he
did sot remain long, and during the
years of 1847-8, ‘Dombey and Son
published iu monthly pans. Iu I80O,
‘David Copperfield’ was given to the
public, and in the same year, the week
ly periodical, ‘Household Words,’ was
iounded by D.ckens, and hits remained
one of the most popular publications up
to the preseut day. H re appeared,
at various periods, Ins ‘Crnld’s History
of England,’ ‘Hard Times,’ ‘Bleak
House,’ ‘Little Dorrityl ‘Our. Mutual
Friend,’ and many others of the lesser
and gt eater works which have so readi
ly come from the facile pen.—For he
was a hard worker, was Charles Dick
ens, and a man whose largeness of ani
mal spirits kept him ever fresh, genial
and mer y. Hawthorne relates an
anecdote of him, how, ‘during some
theatr-cal peifortnances in Liverpool,
tie acted in play and farce, aud spent
ihe rest ot night making speeches,
drinking at a table, and ended at seven
o’clock in the morning by jumping leap
frog over the backs of the whole com-

existence when life began to wear the
mellow tone of advancing age, he is
slacken down, dying fairly in tne har
ms , taken away while giving to the
world at o tter work which gave prom
ise of luiiy equalling its predecessors.
Death has been busy among ou:
great men for the last year, but few
nves will be more keenly felt than thai
ot the genial novelist who last night
was taken from us. There was a pecu
liar cnaim about his writing whicli in
vested it vvitn an interest that few mod
eru writers have succeded in attaining
True, he was not always natural, aud
displayed a no smail proueness towards
earicaiuie and exaggeration, but with
a 1 this he invested his characters with
a magnetism that drew readers towards
botu mem and their author. His ear-
y experience as a law student gave
turn a sufficient legal knowledge to in
ti oduee with telhug effect its many in
tricacies into his novels, while es a
police reporter, his contact with the
,<>w and criminal life of London afford
ed the means of portraiture of a elas-
which he has depicted with vivid in
tensity. But, while D.ckens is gener
ally acknowledged as a humorist, it is
in the more tender passages of his
works that his success is even more
genuine. Poor ‘Little Nell,’ tending
oer grandfather, is a much longer re
membered picture than the ‘Marchio
ness,’ and leaves a more lasting im
pression upon the mind and heart; and,
while we may laugh over ‘Tilly Slow-
boy/ it is good, gentle ‘Dot’ that creeps
into our affections, aud is nestled in our
bosoms.
Bui now the pen is slopped that lim
ined these rare portraits; the voice is
forever hushed that spoke to us in
words of such pleasant import, and

The Fifteenth Amendment.
Punchinello thus satirizes the bill to
enlorce ihe provisions of the Fifteenth
Amendment, under the head of ‘Con
densed Congress.’
In spite ot the obstinate silence of
Sumner, the Senate has been lively.
Its first proceeding was to pass a bill—
an interminable and long drawn bill—
ostensibly to enforce the Fifteenth
Amendment. But the title is a little
joke. As no single person other than
a member of the bar of Philadelphia
could understand it, Punchinello deem
ed it his duty to have the bill read by
relays of strong men. What 19 the re
sult? Six ot his most valued contrib
utors sleep iu the valley. But what
are their lives to the welfare of the uni
verse, for which he exists. The bill
prov ides:
1. That any person of a darker color
than chrome yellow shall hereafter be
entitled to vote to any extent at any
election, withoui reference to age, sex
or previous condition, anything‘any
where to the contrary notwithstand
ing.
2. That any person who says that
any such person ought not to vote, shall
be p.mished oy a fine to the extent of
ms possession, aud shall be anathema.
3. Tnat any person who shall, with
intent te prevent the voting of any per
sen, strike such persou upon tho nose,
ey e, mouth or other feature, within one
mile of any place of voting, within one
week of any day of voting, shall be
puuisben by fine to twice the amount
of his possessions, and shall be disen
titled to vote forever after. Moreover
he shall be anathema.
4. That any persou who shall advise
any other person to question the right
of any per.*on of the nue hereinbefore
specified to vote, or do any other act
whatsoever, shall be punishable by fine
to the extent of three times his poss
essions, a ni shall be anathema.-
5. Tnat all the Hues collected under
this act shall be expended upon the en
dowment of ‘Ihe Society for Securing
the Pursuit of Happiness to American
Citizens of Afiican Descent.’ And if
any person shall call in question the
justice of such a disposition of such
lines, he shall be punished by fine to
the extent of four times his possesions,
and shall t>e anathema.
Mr. Wilson objects to anathema.
He said nobody in the Senate but Mr.
Sumner knew what it meant. Besides,
it was borrowed from the syllabus of
a degraded superstition. He moved
to substitute thesimple and intelligible
expression, ‘He bed am,'

Table Manners. : -t
When to eat, and what and how
much, are questions which have been
abundantly answered well and iff : bat
it is not considered as it ought to be,tbat
the attendants of the family table have
a much larger share in promoting *
Healthful digestion than is generally
suppi sed.
A good appetite is essential to a good
digestion, but a snow-white table oloth
is a great promotive of a go id apje ite.
No one caii eat iu comfort if any mem
ber of the family appears at the tablj
m slutternal dress; with unkept hair;
showing a breadth of black under the
fingernails; with a hawking and a
spitting and a blowing of the nose, and
their trenmendous associations.
But the spotless napkin, the most
splendid roast, the faultless concomi
tants all, what do they amount to if
sadness is written on the face of the
wife; if an angry scowl gleams from
the corrugated brow of a morose hua-j
band, or a dissatisfied look comes from
a child's eye, and the meal is partaken
of in ominious silence? Away with
such unloveliness lihere is no sunshine
iu such a household, and the member*
of that family, if they grow up at all,
will beome the refrigerators, the bane,
of every company into wihch they may
be thrown in after life.
Rather let the family table be the
place of glad re-unions; as muob look
ed forna.d to as the promised coming
of a cherished friend; let courleaiea
more than courtly be ever cultivated;
let smiles wreath every face; let calm
satisfaction sit on every countenance:
et light hearts aud cheery words ana
obliging acts, and watchful attentions
.,e the order of the day ! These are
t e prompters cf a healthy digestion:
ana these are they which largely help
to make happy homes, and gooabearts,
and generous uatures.—Hall’s Journal
of Health.
Man.—During his days of youtbfal
enthusiasm every man promises him
self a career of perfect happiness-—of
stainless respectability—of matchless
honor. We flatter ourselves that the
world will reform itself for our sake.
We anticipate a faultless partner iu our
future bride, and cheat ourselves with
the expectation that the even current
of our destinies will flow over sands of
gold. Alas I the first self-deception
we are compelled to resign, becomes a
bitter trial to our fortitude; but, one
after another, wc see these cherished
visions fade away—we inure ourselveu
to the degree of rnediocracy which is
our allotted portion—and, finally, learn
to be contented with such dirty scraps
as the charity of fortune throws in ouv
way.
Enforcing the Fiftenth Amed-
ment.—During the debate in the Sen
ate to enforce the Fifteenth Amend
ment, which was passed by a strict
party vote, Senator Bayard declared
that the bill made the constitution a
mere mockery, grasping the whplia
control of elections. It was, he held,
a premeditated engine for the destruc
tion of the State government, and taking
possession ol the whole police power
throughout the country.
One of the amendments to the bill
made by the ConferencejCommittee waa
the addition of a section in relation to
fraudulent voting, which throws the
burden of pr >ot on the voter. This is,
instead of the prosecution having to
furnish proof that a man has voted
fiaudtilently, the accused must furnish
proof of his innocence. This is re
versing the order of thing3 with a ven
geance.—Suvanfiah Daily News.
Wonderful Fish Invasion of
New Jersey.—It has been a tradition
of this vicinity that the hunters some
times went out to ‘shoot shad with a
shove!,’ and in Jersey they are realiz
ing the possibility of that peculiar way
of taking fish. An irruption of Fenian
bluefish on the peaceful coast has driv
en the shad and mossbunkers shore
ward in such numbers that they crowd
one another up the beach aud up 4tli
the little streams for the whole length
of Barnegat Bay and Little Egg Har
bor. So lined i3 the shore and so filled
are the little streams that the country
men are actually shovelling the liv*
fish into their great farm wagons as fast
as they can ourrv away a load and re
turn. Shad sell in that country for
twenty cents a bushel, and menhaden
illimitably fertilize the corn fields^
This tall sort of fishing i3 fatal to many
of the bluefish also, but we hope H will
not make them scarce later in the.
