That God knows best ? The tho’t is ever wel
ling
IVilliin my breast,
feri bging such rest.
To feel, to know, however dark the sftv.
However cold the world, that bye and bye
It nil will melt away
Into eternal day.
When every footfall covors thorns and pain
With every breeze flies to the tired lirni.i,
What comfort still
In knowing ’tis His will.
Tho’ shadows croep after each ray of sun
How uweet to know the One
Who lead* and loves us all
Lets not a sparrow fall
Without his knowing and his loving cave-.
Then shall wo ever doubt, the share
We hold above
Os his great krve?
Nay, sorrowing and glad, one and all,
ll* hear* and loves the faintest prayer and call
From every on*—
Ills will be done.
There’s a Deep and Surging River.
There’s a deep and surging river,
Running o’er the sands of time,
The music of whose flowing
Has a soft and mellow chime ;
But beneath the r>pq Png wavelets
Is an undercurrent strong.
That throbs with restless struggles,
As it swiftly rolls along.
You may float upon its surfaco,
And watch the shining spray,
That flashes in the sunlight,
As it softly glides away;
Or gather tangled mosses
And flowers fresh and fair,
That bloom along its margin
And shed their fragrance there.
But I’d rather hear the whispers
Os the waves that aro below,
And catch the murmured music
Os its strooger, deeper flow,
As it rolls in quiet grandeur
And a “harmony’’ sublime,
Beyond the narrow eirclos
That hound the sands of lime.
Wnat Mancf.ictuking Does. —Car.ton, Ohio,
is where all the patent reapers and mowers
are made. When the inventor went the e a
few years ago, it was the dullest nnd least
progressive town in the State, an J was retro
grading in wealth and population, lie asked
the citizens for SIO,OOO for a start, and receiv
ed that sum as a loan. Results of the invest
ment—a large reaping and mowing manufac
tory ; two large agricultural implement and
plow manufactories, exclu-ively, one of stoves
and hollow ware, one of reaper and mower
knivos, and one of saddlery hardware, two of
horse rakes, one of farm wagons, one of culti
vators, one of wrought iron bridges., one of map

The town has tripled in populationand quad
rupled in wealth, and this helps the farming

Judge Brewster’s recent remarkable charge
to the grand jury in Philadelphia attract* a
great deal of attention, not only in that city
but in other parts of the country. “It lias
conic to pass,’’ said the Judge, “that men are
shot down or stoned to death upon our high
ways, and that the law seems as powerless for
their vendiewtion as it was for their protection.
Grand juries hesitate to find true bills, and
petit juries often refuse to convict, except of
inferior grades, frequently coupling these
verdicts with recommendations to mercy.—
And even in an occasional case of great atroci
ty, when a conviction is followed by a sentence
to death, the Executive is besieged for a par
don. It is owing to these efforts to thwart
justice that it has oometo pass in Philadelphia
that it is more dangerous for a man to pick a
pocket than to take a life. The thief is much
more certa'n of being punished than the mur
erer.”
National Banks,— The Washington Chron
icle of Tuesday says: “We hear it stated that
the Sfloretary of the Treasury is considering

point may be agreed upon by Loth the lreas
urer and the Commissioner of Internal Reve
enue for a depository, it will be so confirmed
by the Secretary.
A ridiculous scene occurred at the State
Poultry Exhibition in New York. Horace
Greeley attempted to deliver an address, but
the cocks crowed, ducks quacked, geese hissed,
dogs howled, and mules brayed, to such an
extent that after trying for half an hour to
mako himself heard, Mr. Greeley surrendered
declaring “Poultry a nuisance, anyhow.’ -
Everybody present was convulsed with laugh

retired in anger and disgust.

Gen. Lee Visits lit!lUtnore.
It seems that Gen. Loo has recently boon to
Baltimore, at the head of a committee of the
stockholders of the Virginia Valley and Lynch
burg and Danville Railroads, for tho purpose
of soliciting aid from the Baltimore capitalists.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed among tho
citizens wherever ho appeared. At a meeting
of the City Council, held to consider these
projects, after the close of his addregs, the Sun,
of that city, save :
Mr. Brout said he was happy to inform the
ladies that they would have an opportunity of
taking Gen. Lee by the hand. Arrangements
were then made to enable the ladies to pass
upon the platform fin that jiurjiose. The priv
ilege appeared to ho eagerly and generally
availed of. and G#tr. Lee was engaged for some
time in receiving presentations.
The ladies passed from the west side of the
hall over the platform, passing tho General,
who shook the hand of each cordially, and in
return was complimented by all tho ladies, a
large number of whom swlotod him with kisses.
After the presentation was over, the General,
escorted by Mayor Banks, left tho building
amid uproarious cheering, and tho greatest
enthusiasm prevailed among the large throng
that had assembled at the doorway. After lib
erating himself from the many friends that
continued pressing forward to shake his hand,
the General entered a carriage and was driven
to the residence of Sainuol 11. Tuggert, Esq.,
whose guest lie is during his sojourn here, the
crowd following the carriage for some distance,
cheering loudly.
Previously, General Lee bad road an address
to the businoss men. Upon concluding, tho
audience again warmly applauded, and on the
Genera! resuming his seat, cheer after cheer
rent tho air, and hats and handkerchiefs were
waved from all parts of the hall. It was a
scene of genuine enthusiasm not often wit
nessed.
Before this, when General Lee went to the
hall, as he ascended the stairway he was greet
ed with three cheers by the multitude, who
stood around respectfully with uncovered heads.
When ho was introduced there arose a perfect
storm of applause, which continued uninter
ruptedly for several moments.
RrieC Uiouraphicitl Sketches,
Julius Cajsar—son of old man Caesar. He
was born at Rome in his infancy, and, upon
arriving at the estate of his manhood, became
a Roman. lie was a fighter and a writer of
some note. Ilia friend Brutus asked him one
morning how many eggs he had taken for his
breakfast, and he replied, “J'sltit, Unite! His
friend became very much enraged at being
called a brute, and stabbed Gsesar quite dead.
Mahomet—author of the Koran, an exciting
romance, which he wrote in the Mammoth
Cave, at Mecca, lie was the author of a re
ligious creed with which he stuffed Turkey,
and tried to get up a broil in Greece, but failed.
Many of Ills earlier followers suffered groat
persecution. Some of thorn were hound in
Morocco aburned at tho stake. lie had
throe temples while living—one at Mecca and
one on each side of his head.
Plutarch —I only know this gentleman by
reputation, lie is always spoken of in the
plural number. Plutarch s Lives is a common
expression, but how many there are of him, I
am not prepared to say.
Bonaparte I— a harem skarum sort of fellow
who occupied a position of considerable respon
sibility in France. The impression went abroad
that he was ambitious, which damaged his
reputation materially. lie gainoil the ruspect
and admiration of the I* roneli nation, because
he was not a Frenchman. When asked if he
thought ho oould rule Franco, he replied “ q f
Corsican.” The close of his life was not so
bright as the.beginning, but thero was more
of it in a narrow coinpass.
Lord Nelson—the hero of Trafalgar, a sea
faring man and far seoing man. Ho Baid, up
on going into action, England expected every
man to pay his duty, lie knew they were a
rascally set, and wonhi run the blockade if
they could. Warfare was his occupation, on
the high sea, and lie enjoyed nothing hut wharf
air when he was in port. In his early life he
was a long time in doubt whether a nautical
life would suit him or not. Finally ho wont
to see.
Restitution Demanded ill a Very Sudden
Manner.
A few days ago a Captain Harrison, the
agent of the Freedmen's Bureau at Scottsvillc,
called to Charlottesville by business, was din
ing at ono of the hotels in that town. A
young lady, one of the heroines of the war,
whose name we omit, having scrutinized the
Captain for a moment, arose from hev'seat de
liberately, aud approached him with the tread
of a woman who was not afraid—who knew
her “honest rights and dared maintain them.”
Said the lady, with a stamp of her beautiful
foot whieh subdued tho Yankee Captain at
once;
"Is this Captain Ilnrrison, of the Yankee
army ?”
Tho Captain stammered out that it wa*—
l Yes,’
‘Well, sir, you have a wateli and chain on
your person that belongs to mo. You took
them from me during tho war by force, by
threats and violence. Now I want them hack
again.”
With these bold reworks she accompanied
the same with a dexterous movement of her
hands, and the gold watch and chain, valued
at two hundred dollars, was removed from the
bosom of the Captain, and transferred to the
possession of the rightful femalo owner.
The vanquished Captain bowed, retired
from the table and left the hotel and the city
of Charlottesville. —[Char. Chiort.
Wearing Away.
All thing* are wearing away—nothing is
everlasting. The rocky sides of the river
which resist the cutting of a chisel, yield to
tho overpowering bold, and continual strokes
of the sweeping current of the breaking waves.
The overlapping stones of the mountain, steel
d«d like, defying impregnation through any
attempt of man. challenging any mechanical
power to move them from their stationary po
sition, huge in their wonderous weight, are
ineffectual in resistance to that continued, yet
imperceptible weakening of their vast bulk ( -
and finally give way to tho never dying power
of lime, and crumble to dust. Trees, animals
and all things that live—nil material substan
ces arc wearing away.
Everything is wearing away—old customs,
fashions, nnd habits wear out of use and form
the deep hidden strata of thoso numberless
things that were, hut that arc overspread with
what is new and exercised by us today. Prin
ciples around which were hung all the adorn
ments that the brilliant intellects of philoso
phers could manufacture are numbered with
tho past, sophisms useless to transmit to futu
rity, and incapable of standing the wear of
time. They soon proved oracked and worth
less, and were but talismanic to some circum
stance, but with its death they departed.
Doctrines around whioli was shed all the
halo of truth that their diecoverie* could

thin through ages that their fallaciousness ha*
since been disclosed, and eternal as they once
appeared, have become enervated, powerless,
through the onslaught of time. They, too,
have shown that nothing is eternal.
Old tenets and maxim* that had become in
doctrinated in the minds of nations, and peo

The New Orleans Cuban Expediton.
A New Orleans correspondent gives some
account of tho Cuban filibustering expedition
now being organized in that city. General
Stcedman, Scnor Diaz, General Hays, and Col.
Nixon, arc the leaders of the force, which num
bers over a thousand men. camping on differ
ent plantations in the neighborhood of the city.
The chief* have further purchased two thous
and rifles and two full batteries of artillery,
and also hired a very fast steamer, a former
blockade runner, to tike them to the Northern
coast of Cuba. This steamer lias been reported
since to have left for Cuba. They hope to be
able to baffle by their steamer every pursuit,
though, in cascof noed. they are firmly resolved
to give battle to any Spanish man-of-war which
they may encounter. There is plenty money
among the filibusters ; t.he rich planters arriv
ed from Cuba, and tho Mexican consul, Scnor
Diaz, have provided ample funds for carrying
out the expedition. General Steediaan having
also contributed SS,OtX). Seuor Diaz, in the
negotiations with the Cubans, servos as inter
preter and negotiator, while Steedman occu
pies himself with the organization of the corps
only, which will consist of two division*, com
manded by General llavs and Colonel Nixon.
A splendid Cuban flag, made of silk, by the
wife of Senor Diaa. was presented to tho offi
cers of the corps in Senor Diaz s house. That
tho enterprise will meet with difficulties in
leaving New Orleans is hardly to be believed,
tho custom house officials all being in favor of
the Cuban cause. Moreover, the corps is made
up of men who have scented battle fields, and
who arc not intimidated by Spanish troops or
Spanish surveillanen.—[Chron. A S«n.

Senator Sprague, in his plabcin the Senate,
in speaking of the conduct Os some of his own
State troops, at Manassas, gives this account
of the valiant Burnsides :
I saw the commonder of th* brigade; I in
quired of him, “where are the officers?” His
face was cov«red with tears ; his million dol
lars should not he sacrificed. With three
thousand men unemployed he harrassed Mc-
Dowell for three hundred to come to his sup

the million dollars was saved.

A Legitimate Transaction.
C qi, an attache of the l’snnsylvania rail

erate practical joker, happened in Clevelan4,..t
the other day, and, tho weather being mild and
warm, ho conceived tho happy idea of taking
tho fair object of his adoration out riding.—
IVmmng his best suit, ho started pcSl baste for i
tho nearest livery stable. lie was a partial
stranger in the vicinity, and the livery stabfti
keeper, not knowing him, and imagining, pos
sibly, from the state of nervous excitement in
whieh he presented himself, that “ something
was up,” refused to lot him take the horse avwi’
...
“ But," remonstrated C p, “ I am good
for a dozen horse* and biiggic*.”
“Very well, then, leave mb some security,”
demanded the suspicious livorvman.
“ How much do'yon consider your darn'd'
rig worth,” angrily asked our friend.
“ A bout S.Y)O.”
“ If I buy it now and pay you $350 in oash,'
will you agree to buy it back for the same
sum when I get through with it," asked
C p.
“Certainly, sir,” politely reßpdhded the'
owner, who thought he saw s chancfe for a good 4
bargain.
U AII right. Hero's your money;” and,
jumping into the vehicle, C—o-p drove off tOi

Os course she was ready, and of course m

when the sinking sun reminded our hero that
official duties awaited his attention, and, leav*
ing his fair companion at the door of her resi*”
dence, he drovs back to the livery stable.
“Well,” said he to the proprietor, “you 1 sad'
I am here again, and I presume you aro ready
to bny this rig back.”
“ Yes, sir, I trust I am a man of my word,”
coolly responded that individual, at the earn*
time handing C——-p $350 in greenbacks,*
which our friend quietly stowed away in auT
inside-pocket, and was moving off, when the
liveryman called to him :
“ Hold on, here, you haven’t paid for the
two hours’ use of this ’er# horse and buggy l”
“ What do yon mean 7' in return responded’
C p. “ Didn't I buy that horse and buggy'
of you tw* hours ago ?”
“ Yes.”
“ Well, then, what in th# h—l do you meatT
by asking me to pay for th* use of my own 1
rig?” retorted C p, as he moved off with'
well-assumed indignation, while the etablsv

A friend recently went to a Dutch tailor'
and had hie measure taken for a pair of pan*
taloons. He gave direction* to have them
made large and full. Our friend i* a heavy
man, and likes his clothes loose, and when he
came to try on hi* new unmentionable*, found
that they had stuck tight to his legs, whereat’
he thus remonstrated :
“I told you that I wanted these pants mad*'
full.”
After some objurgatory expressions of a
profane nature, the tailor ended the contro*-
rersy by saying:
“I dink des pants is full enough y if dey ru
any fuller dey would split 1"
No man has been able to ride a clothe*
horse with the ‘spur of the moment.’
Am Irishman who had just landed, said*
“The first bit of meal I ever ate in this coon*
try was a roasted potato-—boiled yesterday.
And if you don’t believe me, I can show it to
ye, for I have it in my pocket.”

The dryness of the Egyptian climate is such 1
that rain scarcely ever fell in the upper prov

days a year in the Delta. But Mehemet Ali
has planted 20,000,000 of trees in these die*
trices, and the annual average has now in
creased to forlY day#.
