GREENSBORO, Gi., SEPT., 21,1807,
Sympathy.
Hast thou a benrt to feel the woe,
That gives thy brother pain T
And in the secret of th> soul,
Dost feel his grief again ?
To weep with those that weep below,
Methinks ’tis joy as ung«ls know.
See’st thou the hotly gushing tear,
Bespeaking inward grief ?
And does thy bosom haating fly,
To give the sweet relief?
Though tears are all thou const bestow,
Oh ! give them for thy brother’s woe.
When wo, in grief and sadness, mourn
O’er hopes that all have fled,.
And bow us there, in silence, o’er
The memory of the dead ;
For one to sigh, whene’er we sigh,
Forbids our fainting hopes to die.
Honor, and pomp, and worldly gear,
Are naught compared to this ;
lie’s rich who ow ns no houses here,
But tins true sympathies ;
For what is pomp, or power, or gold.
When those we truly love grow cold ?
Your golden treasures I would fling—
Those meaner tilings of sarth,
Back to the bowels of the deep.
The spot that, gave them birth :
But greet with joy the answeting sigh,
That tells mo of your sympathy.
Sweetly as sounds an angel’s harp,
Or music of the spheres.
So sweetly, for thv brother’s woe,
Fall sympathetic tears ;
They tell their tale in signs of love—
The language of the world above.
JTow Amnesty is to he mad* Effectual.
The Washington conespondent ol the N.
Y. Tribune writes as follows:
The President's amnesty proclamation has
been the sulj-/ct of much comment to-day.
The general interpretation put upon it is, that
its author intends that those to whom it ap
plies are re-established fully in all the rights
of citizenship, iceluding enfranchisement. —
It is given out that a test will soon be made
in one of the Southern Slates, through the
courts, which will bring out an opinion from
a U, S. Judge. The Southern men vrho
have been lobbying for tb© proclamation
seem dissatisfied with it. They slale that it
is wide of what they wished, and what the
people of the Socth wished. Some are bold
enough to say that its author is dishonest,
and has faded to keep his promises in the
matter ; also that the proclamation is the
result of Democratic politicians controlling
. the Piesident, and is intended fur political
tcapital. They state further that not over a
hundred persons in the South will be benefit
ed by it, as most of the classes to Whom it
applies have already been specially and in
dividually pardoned bv tiie President. U—
instance, nearly all of the rebel State GoV
ernors have been heretofore pardoned, and
in Virginia the only man \Vhd was a meiii
ber of Congress, and left his Sedt to engage
in the rebellion, and who has not beeti par
doned individually by the President is Ttios;
S. Bocock. The general impression, however,
however, wds that the President intended to
include enfranchisement among the rights
restored to those rebels receiving the arilnesty,
and before noon, Gen. Grant’s office was be
seiged with newspaper correspondents, look
ing for ah ordet from the President reopening
registration in the Southern Stales. No
siitb brdefs haVe yet been issued.
Get into tour Hole.—During ‘the late
unpleasantness,’ there waS a cool, unqueoclffi
able Sort of a Tanfeee named Gunii, who fan
a stage in Western /Virginia 6ver a route
much infested with bushwbdckers. We fre
quently told Gunn that he would some day
get smashed up and gobbled* (tnd hitd betiet
give up his job, but all to no purpose; for he
kept on driving stage and pocketing the
greenbacks. So thtee of us concluded we
would give him a good scare that be would
accept as a warning. In coming from his
stables, late at night he always took a short
cut aeross an old burying ground. To this
point we repaired. One of our number wrap
ped in a sheet, lay down ‘stark and stiff,’ 00
one of the oewly made graves: while the
others dodged behind settle toriib-slonee, and
impatiently awaited Gunn’s afriVal. Soon
he came along, whistling aud swinging a
pair of heavy bridles, when all at once he
confronted the counterfeit spectre. There he
stood lor a few moments with his arms akim
bo, and coolly eyed the object from bead to
foot, then raising his bridals began to give It
a tremendous thrashing, bawling at (he same
time, ‘Consarn you old pictur ! what you
out here for this time o’night! Gel into your
hole ! Get into vour hole!’ We concluded
to let Gunn alone after that.
Those intimate wTth the President assert
that, although not stated in so many words,
his proclamation of amnesty looked to the
restoration of the right of ballot to all those
who were included in its provisions.
As to the legality of the proclamation the
ablest lawyers here have declared it to he
unquestioned, nor can Congress set it a*ide,
exept by the overthrow of the Constitution
itself.

wa* intended to admonish you, in common

and consequently remained quiet for some
time, when she eiclaimed * “ Scare me

“Do you bury your attorneys ?”

‘When the patient happens to die, we lay

‘Why, that we cannot tell J all we know

and from their rich golden color, sweet and

Fartuets, try the Ruta Baga, and learn how

not inclined to seed in this climate ; but
this is a benefit rather than an objection, ns
thereby the roolß keep much longer.
Gjul*.— There are two kinds of girls.—
(Fie is the kind tlmt appears best abroad,
the gitls that are good for parties, ride*, ris

such things. The other U the kind that
appears best at home, the girls that are use
ful and clicciful in the dining room, sick
room, and all the precincts of home. They
differ widely in chaeroter, One is often a
torment at b ome, the other a blessing. One
is a moth, consuming everything around her:
the other is a sunbeam, inspiring light and
gladness all around her pathway. The right
education will modify both a little, and thus
unite the good qualities of both in one.

—We find the following story in the New
Yotk Evening Gazette:
Baron Praogen was colonel in the Austri
an army in -1840, and chief of the military
police at Verona in those days when Austria
ruled Italy'with a rod of irin. ll© was ex
ceedingly cruel, and on.one occasion had the
young Countess It ivina stripped almost na
ked and whipped unmercifully in the presence
of a crowd of spldiers, for an alleged political
offense. The Countess was crazed with shame
and indignation at the outrage. Her death
and that of her husband soon followed. A
youhg mao lately met the Baron Dragon at
his country seat near Gratz, in Austria. He
Insulted him, received the desired challenge,
and chose Tuikish sabres as his weapons.—
When the duel came off the young min an
nounced himself as the son of the Countess
Rovinaj and hacked the Austrian to pieces.
How a Dream Came True-
An old farmer in Ohio has had an expe
rience that convinced him that dreams some
times come true. This is the story .
Sortie tim9 during last summer a stranger
stopped at a farm house in Paris. Township,
a*ked permission to stay over night, which
was readily granted by the hospitable far
mer. A couple of hours after retiring for
the night, the stranger was taken suddenly
and violently ill, and for several days was
apparently deranged. C»rf his recovery lie
informed his host that during bis illness he
had dreamed three nights in succession that
he had discovered, in a certain ravine near
the house, under a rock, an earthen crock
containing a large amount of silver. At ibis
the ofJ gentleman expressed sdrpi-isp, and
spoke of it as beiog a very mysterious dream.
Afterwards, however, they werd talking to
gether in that section, and the dream was
again adverted to by the stranger. An ex
amination was at.once proposed by the far
mer to satisfy their curosity. The rock war
soon foUnd, rtnd after brushing the leaves
carefully away it was removed, find id their
utter amaztment there set a crock full of
silver. They took U out and conveyed it
secretly to the house, and on examination it
was found to contain *4OO, which they
agreed to diviJe equally between them. The
day after this discovery, as the stranger was
about to taka his leave, he complained to his
benefactor of the inconvonienee of carryizg
so much silver, when an exchange was pro
posed, the stranger receiving $250 in green
backs for bis share of the coin, silver theU
being at a ptemium of about fifty per cent.
It was not long after the departure of his
guest, however till mine host made another
discovery—his S4OO in silver was Counter
feit ! and he had thus been ingeniously swin
dled out of $250. The story was kept quiet
for several months, but it finally leaked out v
Ready for Either Side. — A countryman
walked into theoflice of a lawyer the other
day, and began bis application I
"Sir, I have come to get your advice in a
case that Is giving me some trouble.”
"Well, whales the matter ?”
‘ Suppose now,” said the client, “thata man
had a spring of water on hia land, aod his
neighbor living below should build a dam
across the creek, which runs through both
farms, and it was to back the water up into
the other man’s spring, what ought to b e
don t?” - t
VOL. 2. NO 22
"Sue him, sir—sue him by all means, ,f
said the ! twyor, who always became excited
in proportion to the aggravation of his efi
«m(e. "You can recover heavy damages, sir,
and the law will make him pay welt for it.—
J 11st gite me the case, and I’ll bring tha
money from him.”
“But stop,” oricd the terrified applicant for
legal advice* “it’s I that hare built the dam f
and it’s neighbor Jones that owns tho
spring, an ! be threatens to sue me.”
Ttie keen lawyer hesitated a moment be-*
fore lie tacked his'ship and kept on.
"Ah ! well, sir* yott say you built a dant
across the creek. What sort of a dum wa*
it, sir
"It was a mf!l-dam.”
“A mill-dam for grinding grain, Was it?
"So it is, sir, and yoti fflay Well say so."
“And all yotir neighbors bring their graia
to be ground, do they
“Yes, sir; all but Jones.”
“Then it is a great public Convenience, ?«
it not!”
“lo be sure it is. It is to far superior to
any other mill, sir.”
"And now,** said the old lawyer, "you tel!
me that mail Tones is complaining just be
cause the water from the dam happens to
put back into his little spring, and he is notv
threatening to sue you. Well, all I have to
say is, let him sde, and he’ll rue the day as
sure as itiy name is B
The Bones or Bull Kun.-tA correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Gommerciit, writing of
a visit to the battle-field of Bull Run, says j
"The first sight that greeted my eyes at
Hanassas Junction, was a forcible reminder
of the War. Ihe huge piles of bones, horse
bones, cattle bones, and, sad to say, human
bones intermingled, lay whitening right in
front of the hotel. They are picked up off
the battle-field by the owners of the soil and
carted here for shipment by the cars, to be
gtotind into fertilifierr, at some mill in Balti
more- The prioe here is “a penny a pound,’*
one of Fairbanks platform scales to weigh
the deliveries, and several tons of bones have
been shipped. Oae man* with a girl to help
him, collected in two days enough to com*
to sl6. My Landlord, a Fensylvania Dutch
man named Varner, brought otlt a long and
powerful looking bone frotti behind the bsr,
saying: “Here now is some poor fellow’*
thigh bone.” The sight was not to inspire
cheetful reflections, to another great heap
were piled masses of camp-kettle*, musket
barrels, wheel-tires, solid shot and broken
shells, fragments of swords, bits of wagon
gear,old rusty fire-locks nnd the like. This
too, is for the market, the last relics of tha
huge debris of destruction of which every
battle is the fruitful parent.”
New York Dolitics.—The New York
correspondent of the Boston Post writing of
the coming election in this State says:
The Democracy will go into the Novem;
her fight with more earnestness and vigof
than they have brought to any struggia
since tiie McClellan and Lincoln campaign
of 1804, when they really carried the State,
but were swindled oitt of the victory by the
arrest of their agents for collecting tha
soldiers’ vote; and the “confiscation" of the*
Votes which these agents had collected. No
such scheme for their defeat can be adopted

even if they were in the field, therd is no
Stanton in the War Department to seize
Democratic votes and thrust the collectors
into prison. One reason why the Democrats
are bopefid and almost Confident is the clearj

infused vigor into the masses and given their
purpose more earnestness than it had last
year, or the year before, when Mr. Johnson’s
real position was very hard to guess at.—-

Germans who have promised to vote against
the Radicals keep their words nett Novem*

or fifteen thousand majority.

not think it proper for a military officer to
take part in political discussions. In this
the General is sensible. "Shoemaker, stick
to your last,” is a good rule, and the expe
rience of other Generals with political mat
ters establishes its wisdom beyond contro
versy. Just see what Gen. Pope did for his
reputation by his political letter to Grant.
Such a record to stare a man in the face in
