POETRY.
WEARY OF THE NI«HT.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN EF.ID.
The shadow of the midnight hours
Falls like a mantle round my form;
And all the stars, like autumn flowers,
Are banished by the whirling storm;
The demon clouds throughout the sky
Are dancing in their strange delight.
While winds unwearied play—but I
Am weary of the night.
Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise,
• And dawn upon me with thine eyes.
The linden, like a lever, stands,
And taps against thy window pane;
The willow, with its slender bauds,
I- harping on (he silver rain.
I’ve watched tby gleaming taper die,
And hope departed with the light;
The winds unwearied play—but I
1 Am weary of the night.
Then rise, swltet maiden iniue, arise,
And dawn upon me with thine eyes.
The gentle morning coin’s apace,
And. smiling, bids the night depart;
Rise, maiden, with tby Orient face.
And smile ’he shadow from nty heart’ j
The clouds of night affrighted fly.
Yet darkness seals my longing sight;
AH naturi gladly sings—while I
■ Am weary of the night.
Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise,
And dawn upon me wiih tUiuu eyes.
A True Story of tlio Past.

It was in the dark and bloody day* of
Murrel; when his lines extended from the
State of Georgia to Texas—though he kept
up constant communication with his. clan.
In those days it was fatal for any traveler

Jibe Mississippi River. The incident that I
am about to relate, was related to me the
Other day, by a friend wjio lived in the

Mississippi Ti tm . trail. After
traveling ali day iu the dense wilderness he
began (o have fears that he was on the
Murrel trail, but concluded that he would
puih forward, hoping he wonic come to I
some settlement Night cam on: his fears
increased At length lie came in sight of!
a light- he diew near, and found it to be a J
neat habitation, well fitted lip for entertain- j
ing travelers. He called and was very
kindly received by his host—so that all his ’
former fears were dissipated. Hi* horse
cared for, himself refreshed by bountiful
supper, he was easy fora short time; bui
soon discovered signs that, he did not like
Strangers kept coming in and going out;
he discovered them in private consultation
which he could not ufiderstand, and which
served to increase his fears that he was j
among‘'the Clan.” Finally bedtime came
on; he was conducted to a small office jn
the yard; the office wasl neatly furnished,
with a good bed, wash stand, and other
equipments for a bed-room. He was told
by his host that ‘when he retired to blow
out the candle.” His host, when leaving
the room closed t e door after him and
locked it. He now fully saw his situation
He felt as none can realize but those in his
then situation. Hu took the caudle and
examined ti e room carefully. He found
that the chimney was sealed to preventes,
cape No wihdovs to the room, and the
door locked. He n'W fully realized bis
situation; and on furrier examination un
der the bed, lo! and behold ! —a dead man!
Reader, can von realize it ?
What could he do t What would you
have done?" Well reader, I will tell you
what he did: he put the dead man in the
bed and covered him up, blew out the can*
die, and got behind the door to await the
entrance of the murderers. Finally vhey
came, without lights, armed with clubs.-
The door opens, they enter softly, make
their way so the bed; the man slips out at
the door behind them, and just as bo tui n
tho corner of the office he hears them strike
the dead man in the head, but he was then
making all haste for his life. He left horse,
bridle and saddle and all his equipage be
hind. He made his way back to where he
found friends to the cause„of humanity and
justice, reported the facts, got assistance
and went back and arrested the landlord,
with others; which finally ended in the dis
covery of the Murrel pi t. They also dis
covered near that place a large grave yard,
in a thicket, where the murderers had been
burying their dead for years. , .
The above narrative, says my informant,
is true, as related to him by Major W light
an old citizen of Arkansas. It is fuitber
elated that many of those bloody murder
ers were caught and hanged till finally ’J“-
Clau was broken up and scattered to the

One Day with John C, Breckinridge.
*****
We had remained the night be
fore at the house of a well recom
mended friend. The immediate
neighbors flocked in to see the
guests, little dreaming who was
the principle one. As supposed
officers from Lee’s army, they were
thought worthy of attention. I
could see, however, that the older
and more thoughtful of the people
—especially the female portion
believed it was “some big man,’’
no ordinary General. Occasional
ly i could catch their glances steal
jiog from Breckinridge to a photo
graph of President Davis hanging
[on the parlor wall, as if to com
pare the likeness. One old lady
insisted upon me giving a minute
description of the person of each
member of the Cabinet, and while
I gave it, her eye was riveted up
jon Gen- B. all the while. It is
| well to say that, s.ave thc-host and
|his wife, of the strangers present,
juone knew the name of the distin
guished guest. I had known
Breckinridge for years, as a Mem
ber of Congress, and while he was
Vice-President of the United States
had beeu in his company often, but
never seen him appear to the ad
vantage he did this nigLt. He
was dressed in a magnificent suit
of black broadcloth, a present he
bad received from Europe, just be-,
fore the evacuation of Richmond ;
was clean shaved and in a genial
flow of spirits, which captivated
every one. His son, young Cabell
Breckinridge, one of the finest
looking young men I ever saw
second his father in entertaining.
7 _ I t \ya- Mr. Breckinridge's in
dention, I jild/reri, ’O cruna t/m <*v
inulgee river at, or about, Efaw
kinsvi’le. When in ecent oi the
river, our guide met a sturdy old
planter, who, after some whi.-per
ing, caused Mr. B to be called as
aide, and in a lew moments we
were in a gallop. The party con
sisted of Mr. Breckinridge* his
Adjutant General. Lieut. Col Wil
son, tbe late Majrr Oscar Paw-*::
Cabell Breckiuridge, sou of the
General, and aid-dc camp, the
guido, a prominent citizen, myself
and Sam, slave of the Geneial the
devoted friend who accompanied
him to exile. Os tho party, I alone
was paroled. The guide led u&
toward the bank of the river,
where bo expected to flud - a bat
teau,’ This bro ,ght us into the
midst o? a thicket We reached
the bank; but the boat was not
there ! The guide said he would
find it ; aud bid us be patient until
his return. We unsaddled our
horses and resigned ourselves to
leisure. Sam spread Mr Breckin
ridge’s blanket under a shady tree
an cThe reclined reading ’Bulwer s
Decline and Fall of Athens," a
work put in his hand by a lady
friend at Sparta, Georgia, as he
passed through that delightful vil
lage. What a subject to be read
bv such a man, so circumstanced,
aud at such a time ? It was near
ly five hours before the guide re
turned, and a few minutes after the
■batteau’ came floating down tbe
river incharge of two young boy
who had been fishing with it. This
delaysaved the party from capture,
for after the wo had gained the
main road on the other side, we
learned that a party of twenty
five hundred calvary en route to
Tallahassee, Florida, had been
straggling along nearly the whole
day and that a smaller force was
behind, to increase the garrison at
Hawkinsville. We swept between
j t h e two ! While awaiting the re
turn of the guide, the stuff an l my
=clf occupied ourselves in wander
ing up and down the Ocmulgee,
then swollen by recent rains,
whose murky and turbulent waters
seemed, in their spiteful and 3wift
flow, to bid defiance to us. and
laughed at our hope& of passage.^ —
It took some time to cross. Tha
1 bank on the other sido was quite
, steep, and could only be reached
| after much labor. sortunately,

I good hands with the paddle, and
| the passage was safely made. But
;it took many trips. First, thesad
idles, blankets, &c., were taken
over, and and then each horse was
made to swim over, aided by one
of us in the the boat. Finally all
was across, but Mr. Breckinridge,
and Wilson, PaWson and tnyeeP're
turned for him. At the po-nt. e.
crossing the river was fully th <•
hundred yards wide. We foun
him standing upon the bank as if
awaiting us, but with his «ie
gaziDg toward the West an • rp
parently lost in meditation By
this*tin>e the sun was sinking be
hind the trees which skirted tho
river on the side beyond him. Col
Wilson called him three times be
fore he seemed aware of Our pre
sence. then wuh a motion of re--
cognition, and a gesture to pause,
he broke out with Judge A. B.
Meek'g beantful words ;
Oh. come to the Sooth, beautiful one
’Tia the climn of th« heart, ’tis tho sbrme
of the son;
Where tbe sky ever shines wit a ; asalon

And flower? spread their treasures of crim
sons and snow;
Where the breeze, o’er bright waters, waft*
incense along,
And gay b rds ars glancing in beauty and
song;
Where Summer smiles ev -r o’er mount,in
and-plain.
And the best gifts of Eden, unehadow d>'
remain. «
Oh come to the South,
The shrine of the sun,
A; and dwell in its bower-i,
Sweet, baautilul one.
Oh, come to tbe South and I’ll baild then

Then come to the South

And dwell in its bowers,
Sweet, beautiful one?
We remained almost spell-bound
by the grandeur of the occasion,
and not a word was spoken until
alter we had crossed, when Breck
inridge springing to his :>H' ted
horse, called lor us to mount nou
away.” M.

Why the President ts to be
Impeached. —‘O-ory O’Lanus’ rays
Andrew Johnson has been impeach
ed for ‘reasons,’ and he states them

For being Andrew Johnson.
For aggravating Congress by
referring to an obsolete document
known a3 the Constitution oi the
United States.
For insisting that the Union h e
not been dissolved.
For asserting that a white man
is as good as a negro.
For maintaining that the Prcsi-*

conferred upon the office by the

For violation of the law agv.rns’
