Antony and Cleopatra.
I am d.ving. Egypt, dying.
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast.
And the d-irk Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arms, O, Queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs, and bow thine ear,
Hearken to the great heart secrets,
Thou, aud thou alone, must hear.
Though my scarred and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more.
And my r wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium’s fatal shore.
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their master’s will,
I must perish like a Roman,
Die the great Triumvir still.
Let no Csesar’s servile minions
Mock the lion thus laid low ;
’Twas no foeman’s hand that slew him,
’i'was his own that struck the blow,
Hear, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who drunk with thy caresses,
Madly flung a world away !
Should the base plebian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps withiu her widowed home ;
Seek hc-r, say the Gods have told me,
Altars, augurs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
Aud for the, star-eyed Egyptian !
Glorious Sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give this Caspar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the Laurel twine ;
I can scorn the Senates triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
I am dying, Egypt, dying;
Hark the insulting foeman’s cry :
Tltey are coming—quick, my falchion !
Let me front them ere I die.
Ah ! no more amid the Rattle
Shall iny heart exulting swell,
Isis and Osiris guard thee,
Cleopatra ! Rome ! farewell!

D*:«Tin.'CTios ofChchches Duringthe v\ ak.—
A wnt« r iu the New Orleans Christian Advocate
says that, so far as he has ascertained, between
one thousand and twelve hundred church ediUces
were burned dnring the war. These churches, he
thinks, has cost the people not less than five mil
lions of dollars. In the loss the Methodist \qere

A Letter to Dill Arp.
Pomeroy, of the La Crosse (Wisconsin,)
Democrat, has addressed the following let**
ler to Rill Arp down iu Georgia :
Bill, there never was so ungrateful a
people as you Southern gentlemen are,
and now atter all has been done for you
to see letters written by you so full of in
sinuations, is too much.
The fault of all this lies with yon.—
Wern’t you folks most dogoned wicked be
fore the war? Honest Indian, now Bill!
Didn’t you get proud, and is not pride a
sin { And didn’t you own niggers down
there, and larrup them continually to raise
cotton for New Hngland nabobs to spin—
sugar to put in our coflee, rice to eat in our
puddings, aud tobacco to chew and squirt
over meutin bouse floors ? And didn’t you
have better bouses, better clothes and bet
ter horses, finer grounds, better furniture
and more laud than we had 1
We are all christiaus in the North. We
felt that all these fine things was dragging
your souls down to hell. We didn’t want
you to rest iu brimstone, being in torment,
so we tried to correl you in Abraham’s
bosom. Abraham was a great and good
mau, who died some time since, as we read
of somewhere.
And then Bill, yon kept your niggers
too fat, our factory operative grew jeal
ous. Aud oar girls went down there to
teach your girls something, and fell in love
with your boys, and forgot to coine home.
We felt that you were wicked. We didn’t
want you to go to hell! All the fine
things you had were leading you away
from salvation, so we went aud sent But
ler, and Curtis and Banks, and Washburn,
and Steeie, and Hovey, aud Prentice, and
Hurlbut aud several of the elect of our
Christian churches down there to win you
out of the jaws of hell by withdrawing
your fine furniture, such as pianos, books,
pictures, rose wood bedsteads, marble tables,
silver ware, horses, cotton and all such
plunder to a place of safety !
You were wrong to engage in war—very
wrong to do that thing. New England
alone could conquer you. Why Bill, if
you had a billion of million of dollars, and
enough nice furniture to furnish all of the
houses iu the country, New England could
steal it in four years ; and if New England
abolitionists could not, the Kansas saints
and western children of Christian aboli
tionists could. Ilaveut we prayed for yon
in nearly all our churches? And havn’fr
we told you batter ? Yon wanted to get
out of the Union! Ah, Bill, States once
in cau never get out! This is what wc
always told you. All these friends of tho
gieat martyr told you so. We wanted to
keep you in. We fought you at Antietam,
Pea Ridge, Gettysburg, Shiloh, Mobile,
Fort Donelson, and the devil only knows
where, to keep you in tbe Union. And
then we sent ohristian missionaries down
there, Bill, to rescue your valuables and
removetthem North for safety, you know !
And we burnt down your houses, and we
look what food your wives and children
had, and we sent your cotton to market for
you, y*ui know. Bill ! And we sent three
millions of men to war to keep you durned
tellers in this happy Union.
God only knows how many of you folks
we killed, tor o*e Northern man was al
ways good for five Southern men, to say
nothing of mules, niggers and keepsakes-
And, Bill, we have stepped into some little
debt on your account. You see, Bill, cot
ton was too cheap. Tobacco was too cheap.
Gold ami silver were too cheap.—
Happiness was loo cheap. Our natioual
debt was too small. It was costing
you too much to keep that negro
boarding home of yours, so we remedied
that by killing your negroes or giving
them the benefit of liberty, rags, old bones
and abolitionism. And we made your
cotton more valuable. .And, Bill, we en
hanced tho price of everything for you,
and made a demand for carpenters and
house builders down there.
Didn’t Curtis save yffur cotton ? Didn’t
But4cr save your gold and protect your
women ’? And didn’t Banks save the Red
river property ? And didn’t two hundred
and eighteeu of our generals get as rich as
mud from finding things your folks had
iost ? And is not there houseful after
houseful of keepsakes up north, picked up
iu the woods and wood piles by our army
chaplains, aud our moral boys while you
were trvingto kill those of our folks who
wanted to visit you aud keep your souls
from hell ?
Bill, you are ungrateful. And then
didn’t we keep this war up, till the States
were all back in the Union ? And didn’t
wo go to war and keep your dogoned States
from going out of the Union ? And didn’t
vou want to get out of the Union ? And
didn’t we act maguanimous aud soon as
the war was over, uuite in saying you
were out of the L ilian ? Really, Bill, it
seems as if you bad it all your own way !
This war had proved a success. A bril
liant success. We were bound to push it
through in ninety days, and we should but
for your stubboruness. All we wanted was
your niggers, your cotton, mules, furniture,
silver ware aud such old tricks which you
folks could buy better than we could, for
you bad more money ► It was wrong to
keep slaves, Bill, but it was not wrong to
steal. This war was to preserve the Union.
Everybody said so. The Union has been
preserved—so much for us. Now, b>eth~
ren let us pray !
Your States are kept out of the Uuion
which is still preserved ! Y r mt wanted re
construction. We’ll reconstruct you ! —
Your folks are very wicked. Bill. God
punishes wickedness. God’s agents live
in the North, exclusively, Bill ! And
we’ll let you back In the Union, which has
been preserved, when we get ready. First,
you must hunt up the balance of your prop
erty and give it to some of our great and
good ageuts or generals. Then you must
move out of vonr houses, that is, what are
left, and let the niggers iu. And you must
give the niggers your plantations. And,
Bill, you must give them all your proper
ty, and then support the inuoceut cause of
the late war by manual labor. And you
must let the niggors vote, for they are
wanted for Republican Congressmen, Sen
ators aud sich. And you must ignore all
your pcrsoual or war debts and not pay
them even upon the basis of honor. And
you must help us pay for licking you.—
Auu ere you do this, you must have all
your property taken from you, so it will
he easy. We are a just and magnanimous
people in the North ! We are liberal and
brotherly. We want peace and harmony !
Progress ix tiie Printing Art.—
While in Philadelphia tho other day, wo
saw realized the dream of inventors for the
last hundred years—a printing press that
is self-feeding and capable for working
both sides of tho sheet at tbe same time.
It is well known to all conversant with
printing in tho slightest degree, that hith
erto it has been necessary, even upon tho
most “improved” presses, to have manual
assistance in laying on the sheets to be
priuted, while a double impression has
been thought hardly possible. Sometimes
'as many as six or eight persons are em
ployed in the former service, especially
on the cylinder or “fast” presses now so-
eommon for daily papers of largo circula
tion. But for the press of which we speak,
which is in the Inquirer office, and which
is the invention of William Bullock, of
Philadelphia, the paper is fed by ma
chinery in continuous sheets, each about
one mile long, is printed on both sides at
the same time, and is cut off and piled iu
regular heaps, without any manual aid.—
The Bullock press prints fifteen thousand
copies on both sides, equivalent to thirty
thousand single impressions, per hour. To
superintend this press requies only one
pressman and two assistants.
In this connection it may be mentioned
that there is in Philadelphia an establish
ment for the conversion of popular wood in
to paper which is also a great success. Tlie
patentee of the process is John W. Dixou.
The pulp works are very extensive. The
great feature is the economy iu tbe use of
chemicals, which disintegrate the wood
and bleach the pulp. Excellent printing
paper is made with SO per cent, of wood
pulp and 20 per cent of straw pulp. From
12 to 15 tons of wood pulp are turned out
daily. The works have but recently gone
into operation. A popular tree has been
converted into white paper in the space of
five hours.— Common wealth.
Little Things and Results.— The
“Locai” of the Wheeling Register gets off
the following : “As a gentleman was pair
ing along Fourth street yebterday, he
passed a place where a number of boys
were playiug marbles. Guo of them, in
shooting his marble, cleverly put it under
the gentleman’s foot. The gentleman
slipped and stumbled against a lady, also
passing, precipitating her along with him
self upon a large hog who was examining
the gutter for debris. The hog, frighten
ed out of bis propriety, bolted ofi’ and ran
between the iegs of another geutlemau,
who, in falling, frightened a span of horses
attached to a wagon iu au alley. A man
who was in a carpenter shop near by, was
about to light a cigar, and upon startiug
up to see what was the matter, dropped
his lighted match among the shavings,
and a fire came near being originated.—
Thus ended this budget of accidents for the
day.”
Had His Eyes Opened.—A Boston ed--.
itor having had his eyes opened by Moore’s
history of slavery in Massachusetts, mild
ly suggests the propriety of a little modes
ty, in the future, on-the part of those who
have so long held forth iu the holier-than-
thou vein. He says:
It certainly fisnot pleasant to admit that
in Massachusetts, in its earliest settlement,
slavery was recognized by law, and
strengthened and made permanent by va
rious enactments. Mr. Moore shows that
the old Puritans not only bought and
sold cargoes of Africans, but dealt in
the same way with their Indian captives,
aud even, in a limited degree, with whites,
who were numbered among tbe dissenters
and heretics of the times, or who could not
pay their debts. It is mortifying again
to remember tb it Peter Faneuii, the gen
erous giver of the old Cradle of Liberty
was a slave dealer.
It is in business that tbe meual faculties
are exercised trained and developed. No
school or academy teaches sounder instruc
tion or better morals than the counting-
house or the work’-shop. There the facul
ties which make up the individual charac
ter are moat actively employed, and there
the means are found for tfie numberless
gratifications and enjoyment which man’s
intellectual and social nature, requires.—
The steady pursuit of industry, guided by
good sense and honest principles, supply
all that man in society requires. It is tho
artificial habits, the social ambitious, the
pride, the extravagances, the indulgences,
the luxuries to be enjoyed before they are
honestly earned, which lead to vice and
punishment, crime, dishonor, disgrace,
cause misery in families, and fill our pris
ons and madhouses with wretches to whom
the grave would be a relit f from their self-
imposed torments, or degradation worse
than the condition of the brute.

Said an old man one day : “When I
'oik back over the pilgrimage of an event
ful and nor unsuccessful life, I cau confi
dently say that I never did au act of kind
ness to any 'unman being without finding
myself the happier for it alterward. A
single friendly act, pleasantly and prompt
ly done to a fellow creature in trouble or
difficulty, besides tiie good to him, lias be-
fore now thrown a # streak of sunshine into
017 heart for the remaider of the day,
which I would not have taken a twenty
dollar bank note for.”
Cotton ix Turkey.—The cottou crop through
out Turk*-y wiil i»c lime It larger this year than
any grown before, but the hea« - y fail in prices will
have a serious effect. At pieseut tlie price of cot
ton lias fallen to eight piasters per oka, the rato
some lime since ranging as high as twenty three
piasters. Various circumstances combine to pro
duce this unfavorable state ot things, the moneta
ry crisis and the tail caused by increased imports
from America being the principle causes.
