Nothing is our own , we hold our pleasures Just a little while, ere they are fled ; One by one life robs us of our treasures ; Nothing is our own except our dead, They aro ours, and hold in faithful keeping, Safe forever, all they took away : Cruel life can never stir that sleeping, Cruel time can never seizo tlmt prey. Justice pales, truth fades, starafall from heaven; Human are the great whom we revere, No true crown of honor can be given, Till the wreath lies on a funereal bier. How the children leave us ; and no traces Linger of that smiling, nngol band— Gone, forever gone ; and in their places Weary men and women stand. Yet wo have some little ones (-till ours ; They haTe kept the baby smile, we know, Which we kissed one day, and hid with flowers On their dead, white faces long ago. When our joy is lost, and life will take it, When no memory of the pust remains; Save with some strange, cruel sting, to make it Bitterness beyond all present pains, Deaflt, more tender-hearted, lcavos to sorrow Still the radiant shadow—fond regret; We shall find, in some fair, bright to-morrow Joy that he has taken, living yet. Is love ours? and do we dream we know it Bound with our heart-strings, all our own? Any cold and cruel dawn may show it Shattered, desecrated, overthrown. Only the dead hearts forsake us never: Love, that to death’s loyal cape has fled, Is tints consecrated ours forever And no change can rob us of our dead. So when fate comes to beseige our city, Dim our gold, or make our flowers fall, Death, the angel, comes in love and pity, And to save our treasures, claims them all. A New Love Test. The English papers tell of a senti mental individual named Stanhope, who, having become possessed with the notion that his wife was not so fond of him as she should be, resolved to put her love to the test. This he did by hanging hints self in effigy in the attic, and concealing himself where he could watch the effect of the spectacle. Here is the sequel : After a while, his daughter came up alter a skipping rope, and caught a glimpse of the suspended figure. She ran down the stairs, screaming, “Oh, mother, mother ! papa.has hung himself.” “Now, for it,” thought Felix, - in ambus cade, “we shall have a touching scene presently.” “Hung himself,” he beard Mrs. Stanhope repeat, as she walked IHs»v*V np=SW*IV Xie’EHfTi enough fur such a thing, or he would have done it long ago. Well, I believe he has done it, however,” she said, as she came in view of Felix’s representative. “Moll (to the little girl,) I think he ought to be cut down. You had better go in the kitchen and get a knife, my dear; but don’t go down too fast or you might fall and hurt yourself. Stay, I forgot. There’s no knifo in the kitchen sharp enough. You can go round to Mr. Holmes, the shoemaker —lie’s only four streets off—and ask him to lend us his paring knife ; tell him to wnet it before he sends it. And, Molly, when you arc it? the neighborhood, you canslorJ at aunt Sukey’s and ask ho - .v ths baby is.’ And Molly, you can stop at ihe grocer s shop, as you come baek, and get a pound of sugai*.” , t . “Poor Felix !” sighed Mrs. Stanhope, when her daughter had departed; “I hope we shall get him down before the vital spark’s extinct, for these buryings are very troublesome, and cost money. He wanted to put an end to himself, too; and I think I ought to let him have his way for once in his life ; he used to say I was always crossing him. I wish he hadn’t spoiled that new clothes line ;an old rope might have answered his purpose.” Here a voice, which sounded like that of the supposed suicide, broke in upon Mrs. Stanhope’s soliloquy with “You confound ed Jezebel, I’ll be the death of you !” Mrs. Stanhope, thinking this must of course be a ghostly exclamation, uttered a wild scream, and attempted to escape down the narrow stairscase. Felix, start ing from his place of concealment, gave chase. Mrs. Stanhope stumbled midway on the flight of stairs, and Mr. Stanhope having just reached her and made a grasp at her disheveled hair as it streamed backward, the amiable partners were precipitated to the bottom together ; both were badly bruised. A Beautiful Extract. —The velvet moss grows on sterile rocks ; the mistle toe flourishes on the naked branches ; the ivy clings to the mouldering ruins, the pine and cedar remain fresh and fadeless amid the desolation of the receding year; and, heaven be praised, something green and beautiful to see and grateful to the soul, will, in the darkest hour of fate still twine in tendrils around the crumb 1 * ling altars and broken arches of the human heart.

Atlanta, Ga., August 26, 1 67. Dear Sir : I hate the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of yout letter of the 20th instant, informing me that “There is a pop ular belief, in this part of Georgia, that you wil! use your piwers, as commander.of th'is district, to give to debtors greater relief (rotn the daims of creditors titan they can get, cither from the bankrupt law or from con s’ itutional legislation under the provisional government of the Stale, or under ttie gova eminent that may be formed in pursuance of the reconstruction act of Congress ; and therefore, some persons dtsire the continu ance of the military rule and the postpone ment of reconstruction, as the only means of relief from their liabilities.” You ask whether there is foundation for such au opinion. In reply, I have to say that I know of no conceivable circumstances that would induce me to interfere by military orders with the general business of the Stale,or with the re lation of debtor and creditor under the State laws, except, perhaps, in individual cases where very manifest injustice had been done. The only military orders which I have issued, or intended to issue in this district, are such as I consider necessary to the exe cution of the reconstruction acts. Ido not understand those acts to warrant me in ma king violent aud radical changes in the ordi nary course of civil business, except in the manner and for the purposes above indica ted. I do not see that the relations of debtor and creditor and their adjustment in the usual legal manner, have any proper connecs Mon with the enforcement of the reconstruc tion acts, so long as those relations are fairly and justly settled by the courts without dis crimination as to classes or individual*. I repeat, then, that under no circumstances which I can now foresee, will I issue any such order as you say is hoped for by the people, and it seems to me that any such relief as is desired, if it can be obtained at all, must be looked for to n State Convention or subsequent legislation after Reconstiuction is accomplished. The pressure upon me hitherto to issue au order staying the collection of debts, has been greater than it is likely to be again, and whilst 7 Bare net doubt tire subject is_ worthy of grave afi't anxious considcr.-unm, Ido not consider such matters properly within my province to adjust. Very respectfully. Your obedient sorvant, [Signed] John Pope. Bt. Mnj. Gen. U. S. A. Com’g. Amos T. Ackerman, Esq., Elberton, Ga.

A Dutchman thus describes an accident : “Vonce a long lime ago I vent into mine abble orchard to climb a bear tree to get some beaches to make mine frow a plum budding mit;and ven I gets on the toper most branch I fall down from the lowermost [imb mit one leg on both sides of the fence, and like to stove my outside in.” ‘Mamma,’ said Eddie, while looking out of the window one evening during a thunder storm, ‘Mamma, isn’t it time for me to go to sleep? 1 hear God pulling out his trun dle bed for the little angels to sleep in.’ An enthusiastic Johnson man posted this sentiment on a building near the Springfield depot on Saturday ; “Andrew Johnson, President of the United States ; the brake that held the Union train from going to the devil.’ Three singular beings, covered with but having human voices, have been found roving wildly in Missouri, and a St. Louis paper suggests that they belong to a ntfw race. Thet Served Him Right.— The Selma Times says; “A certain young gentleman passed through the county of Anson, a short time since, vending tickets or certificates to the ne rt-oes, which he told them would entitle each holder to forty acres of land. He sold a large number to the negroes along his route at fifty cents each. The negroes, however, becoming assured that they hail been swindled, pursued, the scoundrel, overtook him, made him refund the money with additional fifty cents in each case, and then drew liis shirt, when they pro ceeded Jo administer a severe flogging upon his back. This done, they allowed him to go on.bis way rejoicing. Saved by a ‘ Miracle”—A Fancy Sketch. The Trenton (N\ J.) American, a sadly copperhead sheet, thinking of what it de serves in the other world, has the grace to. admit that it will be a “darn’d tight squeeze” for its friends if it should escape, and narrates the following: Question to he debated at the next meet ing of the exclusive of the Loyal League : Can man dying in the Democratic faith, with all the peiquisites of a Christian go to heav en !” There are a very large number of peo ple who don’t believe he can. The debate will be an animated one, although like the handle of a jug, all on one side. Who will take the affirmative 7 Why, we will, and sustain it by relating a Boston story, which i* preeitely in point.— Many years since there lived in the not over classic neighborhood of Dock Square an old fellow who was called by the boys General H . He kept a “gin mill” and “prop shop,” and was, altogetber, what is known as a hard case. One morning he addressed a crowd of loungers thus : “Boys, I bad a queer dream last night -a most ’stronary dream—fact.” “Well, General, what whs it!” What did you dream !’’ “Wall, boys, I dreamed I died.” “No, did you! Well, where did ,’you go to !” 4 Went to heaven.” “O, eome now, General, that’s a little too muoh, you know ; coulJ’nl be, you know.” “Fact, boys, for all that —I went to heav en.” “But how did you get in, General!” “Wall, that’s the queer part on it, and I’ll tell you how. You see when I got over there, I made my way up to a gate and knocked, and asked what place that was, and so in e bod v looked over the wall and asked me what I wanted, and I said I wanted, to come inside. Then he said he was St. Peter, and that was the gate of heaven, and l told him that was just whete I wauled to get to. lie a-ked me some questions, and was just’ goin’ to let tne in, when, just my tarnal luck, along come the devil, and he hollowed out to Peter that I belonged to him, and bad’nt any lusiness inside. Os course I could say noth ing, but felt awful scary. Well, right away he comes outside, and says he ‘Satan, what claim have you got on that soul ?’ ‘Why,’ ■wyw tue cent no istuiue, tie’s t>eeu sen mg ruin and shaking props down in Boston more than twenty years.’ *1 admit that,’says Pe-, ter,‘but did’nt he always sell good liqiior ?> ‘Well yes, I’m bound to admit that he did,’ said Satan. ‘Did he ever cheat at prop sba-. king!’ ‘Nut that I can prove.’ ‘Well, then,’ says the saint/you can’t have him on that.’ 1 b'gttn to feel better, boys, when the devil says he, ‘but this fellow sold ruin on Sun days.’ Peter looked sharp at me, and, asked inn if that was so. I daren’t lie, so I said : •Yes, but I always paid the largest subscrip tion of any man in the parish to.the minis ter’s salary !’ ‘Well,’ says St. Piter to Sa tan, that alters the case again, you see.”— With that the devil got a little riled, and says he, ‘I can’t.bother all day qbout bim— suppose we raffle for him.’ ‘Agreed,’ says Peter, and they threw me down and sot on me, and Satan gol tbe ( first throw, and be, threw three sixes ! Oh, didu’t I feel myself a goner when I felt him wiggle his tail; for be thought aud I knew that three, sixes couldn’t beat ; and says he, ‘Peter I’ve got him.’ ‘Hold on,’ says he, ‘I haven’t had my throw yet.’ And he took the boi and shook and shook, although I could’t see the use on it, and as I’m a livin’ sinner yet, he threw two sixes and a seven t The devil jumped up quick, and putting off, says he, ‘Peter, it ain’t no sort of use; if you are going to come them miracles on me, you can have him !’ So you see, boys, I did get io, but it took a miracle to do it 1” Delicate Decision.— lt is well enough for all of us with the rest of mankind to know that it has been decided that when you tread on a lady’s train, in the street, you are Dot required to apologize. You have a right to be to the street. So has the lady; but she has no more right to carry her train with the expectation of having it respected, than she has to bring her cradle and rock her ba by in it. A train in a drawing room, how ever inconvenient, is graceful and appropri ate ; and if you do not like it you may keep out of the room. You may go into the street; you have a right there, and you have a right to step on the sidewalk, and if any wild wayward, waspy, willful woman dares to unfurl her silk or satin banners between your feet and tbe pave, it is at her royal risk, and not yours. Id dealing with an undertaker, always pay his price, and never jew him down, for soon er or later, he will surely find an opportunity to retaliate on you, if he waits to the day of your death.

VOL 2, NO 20' [FrOna the Union and Dispatch.] The Pulpit Assailed. , , ( Cleveland, Tenn., Aug. 4, 1867. Gents : An occurrence took place hero this morning that is truly a sample of the spirit of Radicalism, and one that the people everywhere ought to hear of. It was an at tempt to suppress religious services. The following is tlje true history of the affair: Rev. Thomas H. McCailie, a Presbyterian minister, residing at Chattanooga, Tennessee, was invited by the members of the Presby toriau church at this place to conduct divine services to-day. Mr. McCailie accepted the invitation, and accordingly, came up on Saturday evening’s train, to be ready 10 fill his appointment to-day. At the depot he was met by Captain David M. Nelson, a resi dent of this place and a member of Governor Brownlow’s staff, who informed him that he could aot preach here to-day. Mr. McCailie paid no attention to his remarks, but went directly to his botirdiug house. This (Sunday) morning, at the hour for services the bell was rung for the congregation to assemble. Very soon after, Captain Nelson and one James J. Kelly came marching up the street at the head of about fifty negroes, all armed, some with pistols and knives, and others with sticks and rocks. After the grand ar my had arrived at the church they opened column and formed on each side of the street, opposite the church, after which' Messrs. Nelson and Kjlley entered the church, fastened down the windows, shut the door and then went to the gate, where they placed tbomselves on each sids and awaited the approach of the enemy. Very soon they looked up the road, and ( at some distance they beheld two dusky forms approaching. the murmur ran along the lines, “he is coming.” They seemed alarmed' at once. Nelson would occasionally pass along the lines and speak some word to cheer them up. V/hat a grand sight to behold ( A squad of about fjifty men, well armed, awaiting the arrival of a meek, inpffensive minister of. the gospel, who had coma to spread that light before mat) which is indispensable for hi* soul’s salvation. Slowly yet steadfastly these two objects approached nearer andnea:- er, when finally their features were plainly discernible, and sure enough it was the hei nous Mr. McCailie) ami old Uncle Joe Swan, a plain inoffensive, and Christian farmer, who resides someone and a half miles north of Cleveland. Final ly Mr. McCailie reached the gate leading into the door of the church, where he was rudely pushed back'by Nvlsoa, accompa- . nied with an oath, “you can’t preach here.” Mr. McCailie wished to know what authority they (Nelson and Kelley) had to prevent him from preachjng in that church. Their an swer was, that he coulu. not preach treason there , neither could he convert that into a Southern church. Mr. McCallio informed them that such waa not his intention, and, says he, “I hereby notify you in the presence of those witnesses that, if you forcibly protest against ray en tering the church to preaoh the Gospel, I will hold you both responsible, and make make you both account for it before civil tribunals of our country.” Ho then explain ed, to them tbe form of government of the Presbyterian Cburob, alter which they gave back and flowed him to enter. In the af ternoon Nelson and Kelly were each fined #25 and costs before the corporation author ities, aud up to the time I left on the train at fonr o’clock they were trying all the ne groes that could be identified as being with tbe party. Radicalism is getting more and more op pressive iD ( E»st Tennessee every day, and ere long unless something is done soon to relieve the Union Conservative people, the bayonet must inevitably test it. JUSTICE. Boquets.—The following may be of in terest to tbe ladies : When you receive a boquet sprinkle it lightly with fresh water ; then put it into a vessel containing soap suds; this will nourish the stem and keep the flow ers as bright as new. Take the boquet out of tbe suds every morning and lay it sideways (the stock entering first) into clean water. — Keep it there a minute or two, then take it out and sprinkle the flowers lightly by tba hand with water; replace it in the soap suds, and it will bloom as fresh as when first gatb. ered. Tbe soap suds need changing every three or four days. By observing these rules a boquet may be kept bright and beautiful for at least a month, and will still last longer in • very passable state, but the attentiou of tbe fair creatures, as di rected above, must be observed, or all will perish. - - - Wbeu asked how he got out of prison, a witty rogue replied : “I got out of my cell by ingenuity, ran up stairs with agility, crawled out of the back window ih secresy, slid down the lightningrod with rapidity* and am now basking in the sunshine of lib erty.”
