Once npon n mi.lniglit dreary, while I pondered, weak end weary, O’er tlw war of the Rebellion, and the things that were before ; While I wit uluk.rbcd In thinking, brandy cock- toils slowly drinking, Suddenly I saw a blinking one-eyed figure at my door— 8uw a one-eyed, winking, blinking figure my chamber door, Standing there mid nothing more. Ah ! I never shall fotget II, bow In glancing round I met it. And I e v er alinll regret It. that I looked to- wurd the door, For l aaw a mountrau* figure, like A giant, only bigger. And there atoud a big buck nigger leaning tip against my door, .Stood a powerful big bil k nigger, with bin back ngainvt my door, Leaning there, and nothing more. Straight into the fire place apylng, where my ham and egg* were fry ing. 1 beheld tbe poker lying near tbe hearth npou the floor : Then will! rooet determined vigor,straight I hurl ed it at the nigger.

Shaking, quaking, as no mortal *vcr ihook or quaked before ; I then heard Ihi* ugly sinner luulter but theta words', •• (ionic dinner Twas the only word he’d apokin, 'iwau only Word I'm *nre ; When 1 picked up pluck and answered, " | alinll feed you never more.’’ This 1 said, and nothing more. Then his impudence l-eglnnlng, and his gums ex poacd tn grttmlng, With a Millie by no means winning, did he view me from I lie door And cooly said, •• Your treat, mail, I'll ne'er go in the street, man, ’Till 1 get something to eat, man, I'll never leave your door, I'll never quit your chamber, I hough you treat me till 1 roar ; Never leave you—* Nevermore!' M Then toward the fireplace marching, where rny coffee wan a parching. Boldly stalked the saucy nigger bcldly stalk ed actotw the floor \ Never made the slightest bow, sir j tlieu I knew then’d be n row. sir. For 1 imuli- a solemn vow, cir, he should go back to tho door, Then 1 kicked him from my chamber, and he went back to the door ; Leaned agaiuil it, nothing more. Then this Blackbird for a while, air, e'en did cause me now to imlle. sir, For a ravenous, rabid, hungry look, his dusky visage bore, Though, suld I.

To the Editors of the Evening Post: As you were foremost in onlling tho nUcnUtm of tbo American public to tbo Enrth Closet System—tho iiho of sifted drv emth for tho dcodorizntioo an<l din- infection of humttti ftvcea—and thus be come tbe pioneers of a reform that promises not only unsponknblo roliof front tho gravest nnnoyunce of our lives, but tho prevention ol tho greatest waste of tiio fertility of tho enrth, it is just that to you should bo commanion- ted an outgrowth of this system that of fers, if possible, a still greater beuefit to suffering humanity. One of tho experimental commodes Kent out by tho Kurlh Closet Company was placed at tbe disnosnl of Dr. Advil noli llewson, of the rennsylvunia Hos pital, in Philadelphia. Its iutroduolion into the surgical ward, whore it has been for two weeks in constant use by about twenty patients, and tins been subjected to tho severest test possible, Ima boon ho entirely satisfactory that it is proposed to substitute enrth closets for water closets wherever these exist in that institution. Atthetimo of its introduction there was lying in tho wurd a patient suffer ing from a very suvere compound frac ture of the lower leg. The wound was in an unhealthy condition, and it* exu dations, amounting to a piat in twenty- four hours,were so offensive ns to cause a sickening and even dangerous stench, tbnt tbo excellent ventilation of tbo ward and tho use of tho usual disinfectants were hardly ublu even to iniligato. It occurred to Pr. Howson to test the power of dry earth to absorb this odor, as it had that of exuremont. Tho ef fect was magical. Not only was tho offensivvneKS entirely overcome, but tho effect on tho churaetor of tho wound it self wsts such us no previous treatment hud been able to compass. Tho suppu ration was, vviihin a low duys, bu re duced that the daily dressing of a sin gle half pint of earth wus not even sat urated ; tho edges of tho flush wound lost their inrtumwd chnrnetcv; tbo in- tons© pain of tbo soro was ontiroly re lieved, and n lioulthy granulation bus ensued. Hucb on indication of n newly found healing agent was not disregarded. On Monday last, being in Philadel phia, I was invited to attend the morn ing drooling of tho earth treutod wounds. This is what I saw : First. Two patients Buffering from serious varicose ulcers, after prolonged suffering, and with littlo relief from tho usual treatment, have ceased to bo of fensive to their word mates; they find their sores growing daily smaller ; nil puin and inflainution iiuvo loft them; und they foul the oortninty of un early euro. Sorond. A Railroad brnkeman, whoso hand was—a your and a half ago —crushed between the coupling heads of two cars, and who lias never been froe from pain, nnd seldom from intense pain ; whoso hand from the wriat to the knuckles was a festering mass of cu rious bonus and inflamed flesh, ami whose system had boon so rod m od that he could not Iiuvo survivod the amputation which ulono can entirely relievo him, is now happy in freedom from pain. His flush wound lias taken on a healthy ehurauter, nnd his strength is fast returning lie even hopes to save his hand, but the long continued decay of tbe bono mukee this impossible. Third. Another brnkeman. Buffer ing from a precisely similar injury, in no respect less serious, but received within a few days, was immediately treated with now earth. Ils constant application has entirely prevented in- flurnmation, and a henlthv healing of the flesh and knitting of the bonus will soon return him to his duties with two iisc'ul hands. Fourth. A farm laborer, on Friday last, had three of hi* finger* nearly cut off and his hand fearfully torn by a horse-power hay cutter. Since tho first application of the dry enrth (a few hours after the accident) ho has been free from pain, and ho will save Isis hand. Fifth. On Saturday a Inboror on- gaged in breaking up condemned shells, exploded one that was charged. The 1 powder burned his face and arms, nnd ! (seriously) 0110 ol his kncuH, which wus ■truck by a fragment of tho iron, that' completely shattered tho knee pan.— 1 His bin us nnd the fracture were immo ! diately dressed with dry earth, and the ; freedom from pain and tho absence of inflnmation have been as marked in this case ns in the others. Witliont this dressing the knee joint must inevitably have become involved, und the leg must have boon lost. Now tho wound is ev idently healing, and (allhough it is ton ouily to speak pos’tivdy) there is every reusun to hope that the only result of injury will be a stiff knee. Sixth. Within a few days a woman was brought to the hospital with her neck and a large port of her body very severely and dangerously burned. That she could escape long weeks of agony was beyond hope. Yet on Monday her eye was dear und calm, and her voice was strong, mid when tho doctor naked her flow she felt, she said she was a great deal better, nnd that she had no pain. Seventh. Last Wedneidaj on entire lirpast was removed for cancer, nnd the wound wi*« dressed with dry earth. It is no? healing rapidly. There has been no inflammation nnd no suppuration, nnd this woman ton—calm nnd happy looking, with a healthy color nnd n steady voice—spoke fur more than her ahcorful words in thankfulness for her relief. Surely, with our grntitudo to tho Vic ar of Fordington, who has conferred tho greatest benefit on the human raco that it has ever been given to one man to accomplish, who must uni to our thanks to the senior surgeon of tho Feunsylvunia Hospital for thus supply ing the ptinciplea of his invention to tho saving of life und limb, and to tho alle viation of uiiBpenkublc sutVering. And tbo end, I trust, is trot jet. It seoins inevitable that tho pustules of small pox must give up their pain and their offenaivuncHS at this magic touch of mother earth, nnd if it is true tbnt ife ccnlagion spreads from its oxudutions, may we not hope that Dr. Hevrson Imn bound itM feet us Mr. Moulo has tho.su of cholera ? Respectfully, Quo. E. Waring, Jr. Tub Womn.s or Japan.—Tho women of Jnpuu retain thuir beauty up to nbout tho ago of twenty five. They usually marry when sixtocn or seventeen years old, at which time they have roachod the full maturity of womanhood. Tho gills aro, ns a rulo, voiy pretty and accomplished, and stain their lips, nR also their to* and linger nail*, a deep rod ; but when married they blacken their teeth with a peculiar kind of dye- wood, und ehavo their eyebrows. They wear sandals, and aro very proud to have notice tnkon of their foot. If it is intended by their blackened teeth und shaven eyebrows to render married ladies as uninteresting in up- pcaranco as possible, the plan scorns a most effectual one. Women belonging to tho upper ranks nre highly educated; nnd areas ro- inuikhblu. for tho learning of which many ol them nre possoHscd, as for tho talent in every description of fuucy work which almost nil of thorn display. They wear loose, flowing robes, tho value of w hich is onhancod by nil maimer of beautiful inwrought silk deaignu, pro portioned iu costliness to tho stution and means of tho wearer. The young woinon belonging to the lower orders of sooioty have only ono dress in tho world. It corresponds in uppuanmoo with our dressing gown, and is bound round tho waist with a sash. Ladles belonging to tho w upper ten " do no mnniier of work, for their employ- meat ut needlowork, painting and the liko, is merely a fashionable rocrcalion. They sit at home ; and when not em broidering, or similurty engaged, they sing and pluy upon the " oolto," n dul cimer Ijiii'p witli thictoon strings, which is esseutiully an aristocratic instrument. Movx On.—This is tho law not only of the street iu tho city, but of progress on tho farm. It makes no difference how good n variety may bo, tho time will uoino whoa it must change for sumo other. J’otulnus, grain, fruit und vegetables—locality tires of all in u few yeuri. Emigration is ns good f‘ r crop* as for people. Jf judiciously done all is bonetiUed by tho ohuugo. How curious it is to sou ail our old timo notions one by one swept us by a Hood iiwnv. Not very long ago we thought that for " like to produce like ” wus the law ; but now wc know that nothing is reproduced the same. In form uuturo is continually moving on. Some wore tmight that everything in Nature was placed in just the best pla ces for them. Hut tho white man came to this continent, and he did better Ilian the savages ho found there,, und tho Old World’* plants followed in hie toot- stops, and struggled with tho native weeds of the field. They fought nnd they oonquerud. Tho wild plants fs>l- lowod in tbo track of tho wild Indian 5 and now ncurly all the vegetables we see everywhere nbout us, except the trees and shrubs, aro of foreign origin. They ilu better than the Aborigines fixed here by nature, completely overthrowing the doctrine* of natural and specific adaj>- tations. Tho time will again come when all these new comers must again move on to make room for something new to suc ceed them. Then this is the law of nuturo—con tinual change. It encourages the stock breeder to introduce now breeds, and the toedmun to originate now varieties, and in the absence ol all these it insists on the farmer, who will cling to his ono fuvorite variety, that ho should at least have a change ol seed. Frees tlit N. Y. Express. Remarkable Prophecy. Romo six years before the Federal Constitution was adopted, n remarkable prophecy was uttered under the follow ing related circumstances : 'In 1780, Henry Laurens, formor President of tho Continental Congress, was sent tts Minister to Holland. On his way hu wna captured nnd imprison- od in the Tower of London for fourteen months. When Lord Shelburno be- came Premier, Lumens wm* brought up on habeas corpus nnd 1 claused. Aftor bis release, lie dined with Lord Shelburne, when the conversation turned 011 the sep aration of tho two countries. Lord She)- bnrne remarked: 'I nm sorry for your people.' 'Why so?' asked Laurens. 'They will lope tho habeas corpus,' was tbe reply, 'Losotlie habeas corpus ?’ said Laurens in astonishment, '^es,' said Lord BheL burno; 'we purchased it with centuries of wrangling, many years of fighting, nnd had it confirmed by nt least fifty acts of Parliament. All this taught tho 'tuition its value; and it is so in grained into their creed n* tho very foundation of liberty, that no man or party will ever dare to trample on it.— Your people will pick it up nnd attempt to uso it; bat having cost them noth ing, they will not know how to nppreci uto it. At the first groat internal feud you have, tho majority will ti ample up on it, and the people will permit it to be done, nnd so will go your liberty.’ Thin is the conclusion arrived ut by tiio distinguished writer quoted yester day iu tho Express, and u prediction often stated in our columns during the past seven yeu r s. When a people, with- out even u protest, see wholo Elutes disfranchised in timo of poace, the bal lot taken from hundiods of thousands of intelligent whito mon nnd given to bundled* of thousands of negroes, when suffrage and majorities aro wrested by military Inrco and Radical usurpation from whole States—as in West Virgin ia, North Carolina, South Oaioliliu, Al abama, Aritunsns and Florida—and, us from 1804 to 1808, when there is a qui et acquiescence in the mode and result of such transactions, the prophecy made to Lnurcns, eighty-eight years since, ban simply become liiatory. Tho Uuited Btutos Constitutiou, iu its guarantees of personal liberty, was founded upon the Magna Churtu of our British ancestors, nnu wo have seen it tramplod under foot move time* than tho year* which Imvo passed sinoo 1180. It is both our fault and our misfortune that this has been dune—that a fragmentary Con gress has mastered tho Federal Execu tive, upset tho Fcdcrul Judiciary, and often imprisoned without a trial, tried without a jury, condemned without u henring, ami heard without reason or justice. When Rome fell, it was bo- cause it disregarded tbe rights of Ro man citizens, and tho autonomy of Ro man Btutcs. How Pat am to Boston.—Home years ago an Irishman in tho city of I'ortluud, Mo., accosting tiio captain ol n steamer, inquired the faro to Boston, when the following colloquy ensued : “Good morning, captain. Could you bo nftcr tollin’ me wlmt's the fnro to Boston V •‘Throe dollars, N answered the po lite captain. “But suppose I wont outside ?" “In that case," said the captain, “you onu go for two dollars.” Tins was probably more money than Fat had ; so he scratched his head and looked perplexed for a few moments, when a bright thought struck him. “I suv, captain, what would you be after talcin' a hundred and sixty pounds of freight for V “Seventy-five cents,’’ said the onp- tain. “Thin ye may put mo down, captain, lor I’m jiat tho boy that weighs that?” Tho captain turned to ‘.ho clerk, say- ing,— “Pat on tho freight list ono hundred and sixty pounds of livo Irishman, und stow him 111 the hold.” Pills.—-Josh Hillings has been expo- vimeuliug with pills, and certifies as fol lows : “I hnv never used enny of Dr. Emanuel's Liver Consoling and Kidney Encouraging Pills, and therefore kunt tell how influenslmi they are ; but if you nre looking for a pill az mild uz u pet lamb und ii» lurching as a fine tooth comb, buy Dr. Ringbone's Silent J’er- ambulators, twenty-seven in a box, sold by nil respectful, druggists Tin so pills don't fool round, but tend striktly tew biznefts, nnd are az good iu the dead ov night as an ulurm clock.” 0®“ There is n sucredness in tours.— They uro not the murk of woukness, but of power. They apeak more eloquently limn ten thousand tongues. They are tho messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep oontrilion, and of uiiHpenkuble flove, Tiik Uuli.kt that Kill*!* Lord Nia- bon.—C.iptnin R. B. Henderson, of tho Forty-sixth Middlesex Rifle Volunteers in England, writes to the London Tele graph that tho bullet which killed Lord Nelson nt Trafalgar “exists as on honor ed treasure in the possession of her Mngcsty Queen Victoria,” lo whom it wuit presented by Captain Henderson's mother many yeurs ago. The enptam adds : “After Lord Nelson had dird in the arms of Captain Hardy and Dr. Beatty (afterwards Sir William Bsut- ty,) the latter extracted the fatal bullet and gave it to Captuln Hurdy, who had it aot in precious atone, und encloa- ed in a crystal caso and un outer shi II of gold in the shape of a walnut. Har dy, at his dtfulh, gave it back lo my grand uncle, Sir William Beaty ; nnd several yeurs ago, when its existence became known, the British Museum were anxious to purchase it, but h«r Mugesty having expressed a dosiro to huve it, ilia relic was scut to her.” A mother Vying to gel her littlo daughter of three years old to sleep one night, said .* “ Anna, why don’t you try to go to •leap?” .. , “ I urn trying, she replied. '« But you haven’t shut your eyes. ’ « Wolf, I can't help it; Cboy will come unbuttoned.” ®l)t €utl)bcrt Appeal.

Nor docs it hence fellow that the dccendnut.i of laborers aro always to bo InborcrB- The path upward is steep nm! long, to bo sure, industry, care, skill, excel lence, in th0 present parent, lay the foundation of a rise, iimfvr more favora ble circumstance*, Cor the children.— Tho childri n of these take another rise, and by-nnd by tho descendants of tho present laborer become gentlemen.— This i» the natural progress. It in by attempting to reach the top at a ningln leap that so much misery is produced in tho world; nnd tho propensity to make such an attempt has been cherish ed nmi encouraged by tho strong pro jects that we have witnessed of lute yours for making the laborers virtuous ond happy by giving them what in call ed eduoati ti. Tho education w hich, I speak of cansiftts in bringing children up to labor with atendiuefts, with cure, and with hkill; to show them how to do us many useful tliingn n« possible; to teach them to do ull in tho best manner; to set them an example of industry, so briety, cleaiilinoHS and nuatnes*; to make all those habitual to them, ho that they shall never be liable to fall into the contrary; lot them alwnys see a good living proceeding from labor, and thus to remove from them tho temptation to get at tho goods of others by violent nnd fraudulent means Success.—Tho successful man is not nocesearily to bo envied—not always the happiest man. Human nature can not have its own will long without be coming deteriorated by it. Wo nre appointed to struggle, and in our strug gling our highest life is developed.— Tho timo will come when the laws of our present condition will cease, and when we shall bo able to bask in tho sunshino of suocess without virility, or enervation of our virtues. Till thon, it in our wisdom to accopt our lot, and make the bont ol it; to Book for enjoy ment in our work, vuther than in what the work produces—to till the soil, and dismiss all needless nnxioly about the harvost—to he more concerned thut wo should bo right, than that we should succeed ; in fuct, to boar ourselves liko well disciplined soldiers, with whom strict obodionco is tho most sucred of obligations, and ore thereby absolved Irom responsibility os to its results.— Then, bo far as suceoes i* vouebunfod to un, it will ho grateful; so fur as it is de nied, it will not disconcert us. Thus living, our life will be its own success. CoBPBEH IN TH* GBOUND.—‘HOW long will a man lie in tho earth ere he rot V neks Hum let. A New York corres pondent of the New Orleans Picayune devotes nil of ono of his letters to an answer to this question, starting out with the neeertion lint 'it is a mistake to Btipposo the worms cot us up alter wc aro dead.' In uo one instance,’ ha says, ‘as I learn from an old gray.hair ed sexton, has n body, buried, as at present, in a suitable coffin, been known to have boon eaten by worms.’ Tho okl sexton ramemliered of tukiug up one person who bad been burled fifteen years, and the body was perfect in ev ery part, though the coffin itself had fallen to pieces. He ar.countod for Ibis from tho tact tbut tbo body bad been buried near a marshy stream, the sur roundings of which were salt, nnd this had preserved tho body, eveu ultor tho coffin had disappeared. What is the iiho of tho embalming process after this ? when n bushel of salt will keep % body perfect for fifteen yoars? And why any more repeat the words from Job, ‘After my skin worms destroy this body,’ etc. tQr Them is no shook more positive ly disagreeable than one’s first vlow of Louis Napoleon on foot, and near enough for accurate criticism. He sits tall, nnd in a carriage* or on horseback appears nt his beat. But on foot, hut short, thin legs nnd long body make up an awkward figure, below tbe medium heighth, and one look* in vaiu at the re treating forehead, weak chin, narrow, drooping shoulders, and broad lips for any of tho well known and distinctive marks of the Bonaparte family. Ono gazes Hopelessly into the dull, glazed eye*, that huvu un unpleasant lessm- blunoo to those of a decreased mackerel, at his red boltlo-UOSe, iiad retreating chin to find evidences of intellect ana character. The Mormons had on execution lust week. The criminal was brought ironed into tho court yard, where thero wus a crowd of some four hundred, and seated in a chair, lie then reud aloud a chapter from the New Testa- nrent, the irons were tnkon off his hands, nnd at a signal from tho sheriff, he was shot dead.
