‘•The beautiful little flower, commonly
ealted 'Forget-me-not,’ blooms in luxuriant
profusion oa the graves of the heroes o‘
Waterloo. ’'—Journal of a Private • Gentle
man. , v rxft* y * : -
Amid the fallen wariore' tombs,
WheioAjeroes’ashes rot,
A loyely little flower there blooms—
The sweet "forget-me-not,”
It fair and beautiful appears.
Though sewn ’mid carnsge, groans, and
tears a *»oli lb # .
There are, whose monld’ring ashes lie
Where banners proudly sweep :
Where gilded seatebeons mock the eye,
And marble statues weep ;
Oh! there is grief enough in stone.
But hearts that burst with rorrow none.
More holy far than these the spot
Whcrs rest the warriors’ bone*;
Though marble statues mark it not,
Nor monumental stones;
There nedfls no sculptural pile to tell
Where those who bled for freedom tell
Oh! no—benoath her silent pall
Should dark oblivion hide
The fond remembrances of all
We hold m»st dear beside,
The flowers wpon their graves forbid,
That their remembrance should be hid.
• -h' ;.'to loi ,*iw I .‘ini a
Their flowery epitaph is writ
Where Nature’s footsteps tread;
’Twas Freedom’s self indited it,
Above the deatblesß dead;
Aud you may read upon the spot—
" Forget-me not— Eorgct-ne-not.”
I ask no more—unstrung and broken
My feeble lyre—l crave
Os tenfler grief this one sweet token,
That on my lowly grave
Those lovely fiow’rets may appear,
Planted by those whp loved me here.

practical Advice.
Soar nnore eominon tnougnto»»u
if you would be elevated in chare,oter.
It is wiser to be always listening to pro
fit by what we hear, than to always speak
ing to be heard, for he who never hears
and never thinks, must bring his knowl«
edge to an end.
Let the fool speak, if he is inclined, for
as gold is found in useless earth, so may
truth be found among the words of folly
Follow the prescriptions of nature and
you will avoid disease.
Form no opinions without consulting rea
son, when facts are absent.
Never dispute with others in the streets,
for you attract the passers-by, and when
men are thus exposed th„-y never yield,
Never sacrifice principle for gold no r
houeety for office.
Never fear a boaster, for his strength
lies in the noise he makes.
If you worship anything, do it with sin
cerity, else refrain.
Never serve others merely for the sake of
serving yourself, for such acts beget con
tempt instead of respect.
This is a world of words, but none should
play with them when common use is not at
home.
Kindness will win any ori% from vice to
virtue, but call men dogs and they will
learn to bite.
Shun the man who deals in smooth words
and has no other occupation, for he may
bring you into the same condition.
No person can be either gentleman or
lady without serious conversation, and sen*
sible information.
Never make sport of marriage, for with
out it nations conld not became great ex
cept in prostitution.
Encourage the practice of kßssing the
girls, for it looks bad to see them kissing
each other!
Wise men display tbeir wisdom wisely-
Nioro Run*.—The following is a pic
tpre drawn by a Northern Radical newspa
per of the negro rule in St. Domingo, after
they have bad fifty years of experience as
rulers of about th» fairest spot of earth:
The latest news from San Domingo is that
the country is in auarchy, and the prisons
are full. Os course there must be some
sort of governing force in existence to keep
the prisons full; but this is probably about
the full extent of its power.
It is painful to see SHch a rich and charm 1 ,
ing part of the world given up to ruin and
savagery. It is grievous to see the control
•f such a country in tbs hands of such a
people. But we see no help for it. And
we may rest sa*isfied that if theru be any
lower depths of human degradation than
that which they have reached, it will not
require them many years to sink it. If the
population would resort to cannibalism,
and devour each other out of existence, it
would probably be the best tbiag that
could happen.

In a certain fismtly, .not long since, a

The most infamous lrauds were perpetra-

tion. At Clarksville, tor instance, ninety,

the Supremo Court in the McCardle case is
a most unfavorable symptom of the condi
tion of the country, A plain principle af>
fecting the rights of the people was involv
ed, and yet, after many ineffectual attempts
to obtain a decision, the case was on Tues- j
day laid over until the next term. When!
it is considered that the reason for ibis de- i
lay is that in making a decision the court
mast have declared the reconstruction acts
unconstitutional, we are forced to the con
clusion that the judges ol the Supreme
Court are deterred from discharging their
duty by tear of a revolutionary Congress
Things have come to a pretty pass when
the judiciary fails in a plain duty through
fear of offending a usurping legislature.—
The venerable Judge Grier did well to
clear his skirts of such culpable conduct.

There never was such a failure.
There never was such a stale, flat

a great political process. I’orty
crows, as wo are all aware, would
hardly cover the number, even as
stated by those most moderate in
speech. Some said the flight dark
ened the heavens, and at the last
it was harelj possible to prove the
presence of one solitary little
blackbird. So tho nation that was
assared its liberties and peace
were in danger from the countless |
and heinous crimes of the Lxcca

windy and grandiloquent opening
of Butler. Since that it has oeen
proven that tho President “issued
an order” for the removal of fetau

or had not the right to remove him

to oppose the laws, and this has
resulted in clearly proving that he
did not so conspire. And now tne

| authorise the removing of a man
from an office in which he was
placed by the will of the people ?
And what is the whole result §o
far ? Only that a grand occasion
has been given for Butler to strut
and Ireland plume himself in the
public eye. Only a chance for this
vaporer to show to the world that
there is no sphere of homan en
deavor in which he is not equally
incapable. He was a General a
little while ago, and he made more
noise iirdigpateffes and orders and
proclamations, than all the other
generals in the country together.
He was the,most mighty of ail tho
heroes. suit the sum of his acbeve

never was within ten miles of a

into obscurity by his failures, the
mighty man returns to politics and
law. Ue leads the great case of
his party. He makes the tremens
dous threats as ever, and, as before
he dwindles into pitiful insignifi

test. Fortunately, thero was away
of poshing such leaders aside in

Gen. Ben. HlcL’alloch'e Watch
We have received a note from
Gen. Henry E. McCulloch, in
which he says ;
‘lt will bo grati.ying to you and
the many old friends gdlj of my,
much lamented brother, Gen. Ben.
McCulloch, to learn that I now
have in my possession the watch
and chain he wore whan be fell on
the battlefield of Elk Horn, on the
■ l un\il a lew months
ago, when it was obtained by
purchase from him. by my warm
hearted Scotch friend and compan
ion, Samuel Matlie* - , of New Braun
fels, Texas, who has kindly brought
it to those who appreciate the me
mento and the kind han and heart
that brought it to them.’
It appears that the officer refers
red to, who could receive money
lor this precious memento of the
dead, was Colonel N. Grensel,
of the 36th Illinois volunteers.—
We think it best to give hft name,
lest some more noble specimen ot
a soldier might be suspected.—
Several instances have occurred,
since tho war, in which articles
fou.id on the gallant dead, and
dear beyond any price to surviving
relatives, have teen returned to
them when discovered, withofii
higgling over their money value.
We regret to note this exception.
The dead hero was a very int mate
and dear friend of ours from the
date of the war with Mexico, and
we congratulate his brother on re
ceiving this interesting memorial
ot one of the truest hearted and
most gallant soldiers we ever
knew. Texas, whatever may be
her late, will always remember
with pride Gen. Bon, McCulloch.

Butler, in his t eroration before

when he played tho part of the
King before Prince Hal, Mistress
Quickly and Doll Tearsheet
‘Now I do not speak to thee in

but in woes also.’ Falstaff also

Butler, fresh from the plate*closets
