From the Colton Planter and Svti*
The Fanner's-Fireside.
. ' JBY FEO.
How happy was the eventide.
In the good old days now past and gone,
As round the farmer’s fireside.
We gathered when* the day was done ;
The fire-light flickering.na the well, •
Sweet voices sounded in the hall.
Then songs and mirth and tales went round,
And many a shout of laughter clear/*
• Hangout with joyous pealing sonud,. >,
Which loting hearts grew warm to heaf;
shadows danced upon the wall,
— _ e c ’«y **lle at the city ball. '. #
The ruddy blaze of the great pine fire,
Glanced on the gdRd dame, happy and mild;
Burnished the locks of the grey-haired aire.
Painted the cheeks of the frollicking child ;
Frightened with* lustre the long broad hall*
Cast many shadows on the wall.
And when the merry Christmas came,
Stockings were hung on the Christmas tree;
And the simple gift and the good old game.
Made the old feel young, and ihe young full
of glee!.
The shadows lingered long on the wall
And light f^et lingered long iff the hall.
Many Christmases came and went;
The old folks stood on the brink of the grave;
Their forms were withered and feeble and beot,
. And the youth grew up to manhood, brave;
Then the shadows tremble on the wall,
Like leaves of Autumn, ere they fall.
Those days are gone,—time swiftly fled,—
And green mounds where the willows weep;
Among the nations of the dead,
Show where those o!d folks calmly slepp 1
Then s'lence reigned wilfiin the hall.
And darkness shadowed on (he wall t
The little ones that sported (here,
Scattered o’er earth far and wide;
Assailed by w. rldly grief and care,
Weep as they think of the old firealde !
In drcam9 they sport again the hall,
Aud dance ta the shadows on the walk
What’s Hallowed Ground.
What hallows ground where heroes sleep T
*Tis not the sculptured piles you heap;
In dews that heavens far distant weep
Their turf may bloom.
Or Genii twine beneath the deep
Their coral tomb. -
But strew his ashes to the wind
Whcie sworh or voice lias saved'mankind,
And is he dead whose glorious mind
Lifts thine on high 1
To live in hearts wo leave behind
Is not to die:
Is’t death to fall for Freedom's right 1
He’s dead uloeethat lacks her light.
And murder sullies in heaven’s night
The sword he draws
What can alone ennoble fight 7
A noble cause l

Her drums I aud rend heaven’s recking space {
The colors planted face to face.

Though Death's pale none lead on the race

And pompous rites in domes augdst 1

Tliat man can bless one pile of dust
.With chime or chuunt.
The ticking wood-worm mocks thee, man !
Thy temples—creeds themselves grow wand
Bui there's a dome of nobler span,
A temple given
Thy faith tliat bigots dare' not ban—
Its space is Heaven !
What’s hallnwee ground ? *Tis what gives birth
To sac red thoughts ip soul® of worth !
Peace! Independence! Truth! Goforth
Earth’s compass round,

All hallowed ground !

A Smart Woman,
A nice, respected lady, not a thousand miles away
had long noticed, to her dismay, that her “worser
half* was growing foolishly suspicious and jealous
of her. Some evenings since as he waa leaving,
she told him he need n-t hurry back—she would.not
be lonely—she wished her ducky to enjoy liimself,
See, &c. Benedict smelt a veritable “mico” under
the hypocrisy, and solved to be avenged. About 8
o’clock “an indiwidual” about his size might have
been seen cautiously creeping along to the door,
and noiselessly Benedict peeped in. Just as be ex-
pfctcd, there they were—* pnir of boots—« c«it on
the back or. ch.ir, mod a hat on tbe table. Bene
dict shivered like an aspen leaf aa be stooped, pulled
off bis boots, and drew a pistol from hta enat pocket
with “resolution flashed from his eye. .There he
was. kneeling ®t tho bedside,"Coat- and vevt on, and
bis head on the pillow. Miserable\illain—his time
bad come. .. ...
. S«y your prayers, villain, your time is snort! —
and a §a?h and report told that the bullet hud sped
i it* fatal mission. * .... '
“Help! murder ! watch!—oh, is that yon and
Madame popped her little head up from the foot of
tbe bed. Benedict seized the body, end it was—a
miscellaneous collection of old coats, vests, pillows,
handkerchiefs and the like, made op for the occasion.
“I say, dear, wbatdoes all this mean !” exciaira-
ed the husband, with a blank, sheepish look.
“Well, dear, what does *11 this mean 1” exclaimed
tbe husband, with a Wank, sheepish look.
“Well, dear,” replied tbe wife. “I did get lonely,
after si!, and just amused myself by dreoamg upthat
puppet, and making believe you were at home. I’m
sure l didn’t think you would suspect-^—”
“There,there;” said tbehlijgrineil husbaud, “say
no more about it, I thought it was a robber; dear
creature, I’m so glad it didn’t hit :yon.” Benedict
repeated: “Now lay me,’! &c., and went to bed, re
solved not to watch anymore at present.
? Slavery asd the Tcn Commandments.—The
eminent Hebrew 6holar and Rabbi, Dr. Raphael, in
his able discourse, delivered in New York on fast
da v, said that the words in the Ten Commandments,*
which have been translated “man, servant and maid
servant*' should be rendered "male slave and female
slave." He says ; “How dare von, in the lace of
the sanction and protection afforded to slave proper
ty* In the Ten Commandments—bow dare you de
nounce slaveholding as sin ?”
Mr. Idnooln’a Hotel Bill.
The Bill for the entertainment of the Presiden
tial party at Albany, is suggestive of comparisons
with the-famous Japanese bill. It is as follows:

“We are not surprised, after such drinking, at a
considerable charge for Congress water. Neither la
it wonderful that the breakages for stoves, chairs,
&c., were set down ct a hundred and fifty dollars.
Fellows with nino bottles of liquor under their
shirts must have been in a slate to break everything
about them, even their own necks. Mr. Lincoln
being a rigid temperance man, the keepers of the
Delavan house, havo probably taken their revenge
upon him in this manner.
