Into Eternity. We were young and foolish, she and 1, As we nrnnicd the summer woods, Where the flowers grow and the breezes sigh, And the pine tree gravely nods; And tolil her of u promised home, Beyond the wido troubled sea, Where she and l together uvight roam into eternity. And I held her own ir. my burning hand, As we stood’neath the nodding pine, While I spoke of that far off golden land, Which flows with oil and wine, And I saw her face, like an angel’s face, And her blue eyes turned on me— ‘l w ould follow yov, love, from place to place, Into •ternity.” We were voung and foolish, she and I, As we roamed ihoso summer woods, And I think, with a weary, bitter sigh, Os the place where the piue tree nods; For a distant home that I told her ot, Across the troubled sea, Is tho land where angels dwell in love— luto eternity. In my dreams alone I am with her there, And I hold her patient hand ; But I still keep looking for my share Os that long-promised land— Where once again on her angel face That glad light I may see, And by her side I shall take my place Through all eternity. *— Knowledge. In what rare region of the soul Shall I yet know thee as thou art, Thine holier self, whom now I *»ok, With tearful eyes undyearning hcari? Now while life goes forth to moot Thy finer spirit all untsert, I see the shade of human birth, And all the body’s veil between. 4 While in all lowliness I’d show The gentler life 1 live apart, Th. u see’st its fairest outline lost In some infirmity ol lieart. Yet in how many a deed and word Our inner sight may catch the gleam Cast by the angel ol the heart, The lovelier self of which we dream. The nearest watch so far apart. The dearest stand and knock without; 'Twixt hearts, nor life nor death can part Comes withering fear and cruel doubt. I deem, that in no distant day. The best in each shall each desciy ; No blinding sense shall dim the rav, Nor mar the love that Cannot die. Then lifted far from life's turmoil, From every curse of human fate, In some Tare region of the soul, Our hearts redeemed may meet and mate. A Din uhard on Fire. Dr N >tt, in his Lectures, gives the following account of a man about twenty five years of age: “lie bad b*en an habitual JritrknT for many years. I saw him alxrat nine o'clock in the evening on which it happened ; hut then he was as full as usual—nut drunk, but full of liquor. About eleven o'clock the same even ing I was called to see him. I found him literally roasted from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet! He was found in a blacksmith’s shop. The owner all of a sudden discovered an ex tensive light in his shop, as though the whole building was in a general flame. Reran with great orecipitancy, and on throwing open the door, discovered a man standing erect in the midst of a widely extended *ilver colored flame, hearing, as he described it, exactly the appear ance nf the wick of a burning candle in the midst of its own flame. He seized him (the drunkard) by the shoulder, jerked him to the door, upon which the flame was instantly ex tinguished. There wa* no fire in the shop* neither watotliere a possibility of any firchav, ing been communicated to him from any exter na? source. It was purely a case of spontane ous ignition. A general sloughing soon came on, and his flesh was consumed or removed iu the dressing, leaving the bones and a few of the large blood vessels ; the blood nevertheless rallied around the heart and maintained the vital spark until the thirteenth day, when ho died, not only the most loathsome, ill-featured picture that was ever presented to human view, but his shrieks, his groans, and his lamenta tions also were enough to rend a heart *ji adamant. lie complained of no pain es body ; his flesh was gone. He said he was suffering the torments of hell—that he was just upon the threshold, and would soon enter its dismal caverns; and in this frame of mind he gave up the ghost. Oh ! the death of a drunkard ! Well may it be said to beggar all description ! I have seen other drunkards die, but never in a manner so awful and affecting. ’ Character. —Have you ever watched an icicle as it formed ? You noticed how it frozo one drop at a time, the icicle remaieing clear and sparkling brightly in the sun ; but if tho j water were slightly muddy the ieiole looked foul, and its beauty was spoiled. Just so our characters are forming. One little thought or feeling at a time adds its influence. If every thought be pure and right, the soul will be lovely and will sparkle with happiness, but if impure and wrong, there will be a final defor mity and wretchedness. Scolding, says a good-for-nothing old batch elor, is the pepper of matrimony, and the la dies are pepper boxes. i lllood, awl Crime, and Outrage. President Grant, among liis very first official acts, manifested that he did not appreciate, or did not care to fulfill his famous declaration, “ Lot tis have peace. ’ Did ho really desire pence and tranquillity for the tAvpiv of the whole Union tiu never would have been guilty of the insult he has offered the people of Lou i iana in sending Philip Sheridan to tho com mand of that department. The President must remember the serious results of Sheridan's rule in that portion of the country, immediately after tho passage of the Reconstruction acts. There was not a military department so prolific ol outrages, of murders, of deeds of the blackest character, as the Fifth Military District at that time. The lifo of a white man was not safe, thero was no protection for his family, and his property was at the mere}' of the despot. Negroes, carpet baggers, and scalawags domineered over all, outraged, murdered, and plundered, at their descrction, and in the commission of their crimes they were protected by order of King Sheridan. * The depraved and hardened criminal, guilty of the wSTst crimes known to man, needed only to substantiate that lie was loyal or with negro blood in his veins, to sccuro exemption from punish inent. There was not « civil law that could lie en forced, if that civil law interfered in the slight est with the desjiotic desires of the gracioUc satrnp.’whose ambition vtafr to make war and not peace; judges and juries were made to give way before arrogant orders from head quarters ; civil officers who had been elected by the people under the laws of the State were driven from their offices, which were tilled by the disreputable loyal plunderer* who followed the invading army South ; the laws and con stitution* that lmd been made by the people for their safety and protection were annulled without hesitation, when they in the least dis pleased the unprincipled ruler, and his sole ambition appeared to be to perpetrate the worst outrages upon a bravo people, who, subdued by overwhelming number, had laid down their arms and confessed they submitted to the sit uation in good faith, and only desired to be permitted to go about their business and regain what they had lost by the misfortunes of war. Tho cowardly, contemptible, and brutal course of Sheridan, and liis total ignorance of anything decent, compelled his removal by the President, in order to prevent the total disrup tion of the civil government, of trade, of com merce, and society. The fact that Grant has sent this brutal cow ard again to domineer over that people who have almost completely overcome the fearful disorder he had previously instigated, does not prove a triumph for Sheridan, but gives the most conclusive evidence of Grant's revengeful spirit, and that lie tacks that beautiful and distinguishing trait in the character of a true and gallant soldier—magnanimity to an over powered foe. With such a spirit predominating in the ad ministration of the new President, this country cannot expect a Tcstpralion of peace and pros jicrity, hut only a continuance of the b!oody ( accursed and criminal rule of despotic Radical ism.—N. Y. Democrat. r*uyin?s by (irea't Men. Talkative persons seldom read. This is among the few truths which appear the more we reflect upon them. For what is reading but silent conversation ? There is a comfort in strength of love.— 'Twill make a thing endurable which else would overset the brain or break the heart. Resist with care the spirit of innovation upon the principles of your government, however specious the pretexts. He who telis a lie is not sensible how great a task he undertake*, for ha must be forced to tell twenty more to maintain it. I would rather my daughter should have a man without money than money without a man. What you leave niter your death let it he, without controversy, else the lawyers will be your heirs. The greatest friend to truth is time i her greatest enemy is prejudice ; and her constant companion is humility. An idle reason lessens the weightof the good one you gave before. Give your son a trade, and you do more for him than by giving him a fortune. Costly apparatus and splendid cabinets have no power to make scholars. The troubles of the country come from un easy politicians ; its safety from the tranquil masses. * A Plea for the I-ittle Folks. Don’t expect too much of of them l ; it has taken forty years, it may be, to make you what you are, with all their lessons of experience. Above all, don't expect judgment in a child, or patience under trials. Sympathize in their mistakes and troubles; don’t ridicule them.— Remember not to measure a child's trials by your standard, “As ono whom his mother comforteth,” says the inspired writer, and beautifully doe* he convey to us the deep faithful love that ought to be found in every woman’s heart, tho unfailing sympathy with all her children’s griefs. Let the memories of their childhood be m bright as you can niako them. Grant them every innocent pleasure in your power. We have often felt our temper rise to see how care lessly their plans were thwarted by older per son", when a Httle trouble on their pafrt would have given the child pleasure,* the memory of which would last a lifetime. Lastly, don’t think a child a hopeless case, because it betrays : gome very bad habits. Abolitionism. The Columbus, Ohio, Crisis thus defines ab olitionism : The Alwlitionists, pretending to love liberty, liavo extended slavery. Calling themselves Unionists,they haveconsununatediind n a nfe-t --ed disunion. Affecting economy, they have given us the << silliest government on earth.— Prating of virtue, they have made it the most corrupt. Clamoring for equal rights, they pro scribe more pooplo than any monarchy in Christendom. Invoking freedom, they estab lish arid sustain the darkest despotism in the eleven State*. Professing tolerance, they pro claim acceptance to their creed, and the alter native of ostracism und disfranchisement.— Howling about purifying the government, they have made office holding and dishonesty ident ical. Preaching about principle, they subsiet by passion and prejudice. Deploring caste, they elevate blacks above whites in ono third of the country. Magnifying loyalty, they have trampled out every worthy principle in our system. Claiming statesmanship, their officials are either conspirators or thieves, l’,audit,‘g independence, they arc servile slaves to a party caucus*. Pretending to invite criticism, they stifle freedom of debate in Congress by party rules, and drown it elsewhere in blood. In sisting upon peace, they prolong the old war, and strive to stir up anew one. They have made anarchy and call it peace. Profession without sincerity is their programme, to be carried out by tyranny. Their creed is hypoc risy, their end is despotism. Terrible Murder. The Wilmington, (N. C.) Star has the fol lowing : On Wednesday morning week, Mr. Thomas Pcnnfietd, residing with his brother Levi, about 7 milessouthwestof Rockville, went into the woods to chop wood. As he left tho honse he took from his trunk about $l5O, which he had recently received. Nothing was heard from him until Saturday, when his son-in-law, Mr. Hill, went in search of him, and found him in the woods, about 300 yards from the house, foully murdered, lying against a tree which he had partly felled. Upon examina tion, a ghastly opening was found in the hack part of his head, a whole load of shot having passed through, and come out just below the eve. Some of the shot were found imbedded in the tree. The money which he took with him, and a pair of new boots, which he had on his feet, were taken and carried off. Jus tice Lansdale summoned a jury of inquest, who returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by a shot from a gun in the hands of a person to the jurors unknown. Sincerity. Give me sincere friends, or none. This hol low glitter of smiles and words—compliment* that mean nothing, protestations of affection as solid as the froth on champaign—invitations that are but pretty sentences, uttered because such things are customary—are worthless to me. There is no need of them. It is proper to lie civil and courteous to the moat indifferent atrangor, but why assume friendship's outward show when no reality underlies it. When one feels friendship, the object of that sentiment cannot suffer, and leave our hearts untroubled—cannot be slandered, leaving us unharmed. To seo our friend successful, even beyond our power of success, it is a great joy to us; to hear that friend applauded is a pleasure. Yet, every day, men who fancy themselves friends, show mean envy of each other’s luoky hits, and women who kiss on both oheeks when they meet, will whisper treach erous little things of each other. It is not sincere to praise everybody. It sounds amiablo ; but men canuot all be ‘charm ing,’ and women all ‘so sweet.’ I like to know from the,speeeh of man or woman that this one is a friend ; that, a mere acquain tance. I think that warm-hearted people are never general admirers. All can not he loved sincerely; all cannot bo really pleasant. We have read something from Mr. Grant on law. Will lie read a word thereon from u»? He says: All laws will be faithfully executed, whether they meet my approval or not. Now why all laws, Mr. Grant? Will you point us to the defined Presidential duty in Art. 11., Sec. 3, CL 1 of the Constitution of the United States. “He shall take care that the laws ho faithfully executed ”T If »o, we will point you in turn to the defined meaning of “the laws’’ in Art. VI. Cl. 2' of this wine Con stitution. “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pur auance thereof, and all treaties mad* or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.” It is not “all laws,” then, that you are bound to execute, but “the laws of the United State* which shall bs made in pursuance” of the Constitution.—[World. A writer very correctly remarks : “God looks not at the oratory of your prayors, how elegant they may be ; nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they may be ; nor at the arithmetic of your payers, how many they may be ; nor at the logic of your prayers, how methodical thsy may be : but the sincerity He looks at,” A correspondent of the Menasha (vV is.) Times relates a case where a young man cu his foot badly with an ax, and all efforts to stop the flow of blood had failed, and he had nearly bled to death, when a kind neighbor applied a “puff ball” to the wound—and the flow of blood was immediately stopped, and his life saved. VOL 4. NO. 18 Cirfrry O’Lanus on Boys. Some things may be said in favor of boys | some trades would not live without them. The glass-put-in-men: wouldn’t have much to do, and putty would he in the decline, if there wore no boys to break the windows. Thero would be no customers for the cast-, iron peaches and green apples whieh come early in the seasons ; but for the boys the doc tors wouldn’t have so nSYPcb’ to do in curing cases of cholera morbus arising therefrom.' > Boys can be useful when they have a mind to, and can soil newspapers, black boots, hold horses, and do chores. In printing offices the boys are known ae devils-printers have a plain way of speak 'nK- <. ... . Boys individually are better than boye eol lectively. If there were only one boy in the world, I think he would be a good boy ; it generally takes at least two’ boys to get up any mi»* chief. Have one boy in a store and you can have him useful. Hire a seeond boy, and their time will be chiefly devoted to ebaeing one another over the counter, and firing the dust brueh and dl» rectory at each other's hoods. A boy begins to be a nuisance when be »• eight years old. now s<x>n he grow* out of it depend* on circumstances. Some nevwf do. It ie questionable whether boye lead an en» joyable existence. They take a great deal of fun at other people's expense, but they hare most always got grievance*. They would like to have their own way a little more, and • pretty way it wMiltf be. Give a boy a chidce of all oeeupationa {a life, and the chancee are that he would prefer either to be a Robinson Crusoe on a desert in land, or a captain of a band of robber*, such as he had read about, and seriously thinks of going into one or the ether of these desirable occupations when he gete to be a man. He has a great respect for a stage driver or a cap tain of a canal boat—there is an idea of command in these positions that takes his ideas. His idea of being a man is, having plenty of money, doing wlntf you please, and being able to smoke or chew tobaooo without getting sick over it. Somebody wrote a song, “Would I were a boy again.” Those who had the bringing up of him are not likely to have the same senti ment. Raising a boy onee is as much as any body want* to undergo, snd fortunately, when theyonco grow up, they stay growed up, and have children of their own to afflict them. frit and Wisdom. Ths bride's orange blossom often bears bitter fruit. Many a theory won’t bear the broad day light of fact. Mushes' atrer flying colors which maidens carry becomingly. Carpets are bought by the yard, and worn by the foot. Opportunities, like eggs, must be hatched when they are fresh. Death once seen at our hearth leareth a shadow which abideth forever. Good word* and good deeds are the rent we owe for the air we breathe. The bases of civilization are manners, eew versation, labor and virtue. Moderation is the silken string running through tho chain of an the virtues. It is not so honorable to descend from n high anststry os to asoend from a low one. It would be well if somo dreams were real ities, and many more realities dreams. The first and greatest thing in rhetoric is to have something to say. The sweetest wine of love, a single hot ray of anger may sharpen into vinegar. Be not all sugar, or the world will sw allow thee 5 nor all wormwood, or it will spit thee out. Scandal ie a bit of false money, and he who passe* it frequently is as bad as he who origi* nally utters it. Be deaf to the quarrelsome, blind to the ecorner, and dumb to thoso who are mischiev ously inquisitive. Censure is the mo%t effectual when mixed with praiso. So when a fault ie discovered it is well to look up a virtue to bear it com pany. Misunderstanding and inattention create more uneasiness in the world than deception and artifice ; or, at least, their consequences are more universal. Politeness may prevent the want of wit and talent from being observed ; but wit and tal ent cannot prevent the discovery of the want of politeness. Knowledge always desires increase; it ie like fire, whieh must be firet kinged by some external agent, but which will afterwards pro pagate itself. Many Christians are like chestnuts—very pleasant nuts—but inclosed in very prickly burrs, which need various dealings of nature and her grip of frost, before the kernel is die* cloaed. When God crowne os, he doth bat crown his own gifts in us; and when we giro God the glory of all we do, we do but give Ilim that which is due unto hia name, for it is he and he alone that works all our works in nr and for *ts; It seems strange that we of the present da/ arc constantly praising that past age which our fathers abused, and as constantly abusing the present ago which our children will praise. Beauty has its privileges. A woman who ha* plainness of countenance must not indulge hi tho luxury of plainness of speech. A wife's bosom should be tho tomb of her husband’s failings, and his character far more 1 valuable" in her estimation than his life.
