| A Child's Dream of a Star.
BY CHAPLES DICKENB.
Ther* was once a child, and he
strolled about a good deal, and
thought of a number of things.-
He had a sister, who was a child
too, and his constant conpanion.—
These two used to wonder all day
long. They wonder at the height
and blueness of the sky ; they
wondered at the depth of the
bright water; they wondered at the
goodness and power of God who
made the lovely world.
They used to say to one another
sometimes, “Supposing all the chil
dren upon earth were to die, would
the Rowers and water, and the sky
be sorry V They believe they
weuld be sorry, For, said they,
the buds are the children of the
flowers, and the little playful
streams that gambol down the hill*
sides, are they children of the wa
ter and the smallest specks, play
ing at hide and seek in the sky all
night, must, surely be the children
of the stars ; and they would all be
grieved to see their playmates, the
children of men, no more,
There was one clear shining
star that used to come out in the
sky before the rest, near the church
spire, above the graves. It was
laiger and more beautiful, they
thooght, than all the others, and
every night they watched for it,
standing, hand in hand, at & win
dow. Whoever saw it first cried,
out, “I seethestar!” And often
they cried out both together, know
ing so well when it wodld ri9e, and
where. So the? grew to be such
friends with it that before lying
down in their beds, they always
loooked once again, to bid it good
night; and when they were turning
ronml fn #!cen. they, naoH tn e** ,
‘God bless the star !
And so tho time came, all too
soon ! when the child looked out
alone, and there was no face on
the bed ; and whon thoie was a lit
tle grave among the graves, not
there before; and when tbe star
made long rays down toward him,
as he saw it thro gh Instead.
Now, these rays were so bright,
and they seemed to make such a
shining way from earth to heaven,
that when the child went to his
solitary bed, he dreamed about the
star; and dreamed that, lying
where he was, he saw a train of
peopleUaken up that sparkling road
by angles. And the star, opening,
show him a great world of light,
where many more such anglss
waited to receive them
All these angels who were wait
ing turned their beaming eyes up
on the people who were carried up
inte the star ; and some came out
from the long rows in which they
stood, and fell upon the people's
necks, and kiss them tenderly, and
went away with them down avenues
of light and were so happy in their
company that, laying in his bed, be
wept tor joy.
But there were many angels who
did not go with them, and among
them one he knew. The patjent
face that once has laid upon the
bed was glorified and radiant, but
his heart found out his sister among
all the host.
His sister’s angel lingered near
the entrance of the star, and said
to the leader among those who had
brought the people thither :
‘ls my brother come ?'
And he said ‘No.’
Ehe was turning hopefully away,
when tho child strechcd out his
arms, and cried. ‘Oh, sister I am
here! Take me !’ and then she
turned her beaming eyes upon him
and it was night .* and the star
was shining into the room making
long rays down towards him as he
saw it through his tears.
From that hour forth the child
looked out upon the star as on the
home he was to go to, when his
time should come ; and he thought
that he did not belong to the earth
alone, but to the star, toe, because
of bis sister angel gone before.
Theie was a baby born to oe a
brother to the child ; and while he
was so little that be never yet hod
spoken a word, he stretched his
tiny form out on bis bed. and died.
Again the child dreamed of tbe
opered star and of the of

| angels, and of the row of people,
'and tho train of people, and the
rows of angels wiih their beaming
eyes all turned upon those people s
Said his sister's angel to the lea
der :
*1 s my brother come V
And be said, ‘Not that one but
another.'
As the child beheld his brother’s
angol in her arms, he cried, ‘Oh,
sister, lam here! Take mo !’ And
she turi ed and smiled upon him,
and the star was shining.
He grew to be a young man, Ana
was busy at his books, when an old
servant came to him and said .
‘Thy mother is no more. I
bring the b essing on her darling
[son. 1
Again at night he saw tho star,
and all that former company. —
Said his sister s angel to the lead
er :
‘ls my brother come ?»
And he said. ‘Thy mother.’
A mighty cry of joy went thro'
all the stars because the mother
was reunited to her two children.
And he streohed out his arms and
cried, ‘O, mother, sister and broth
er, lam here ! Take me !’ And
they answered him ‘not yet,* and
the star was shining.
He grew up to be a mat: whose
hair was turning grey, and he was
silting in his chair by the fireside,
heavy with grief, and with his eyes
bedewed with tears, when the star
opened once again.
Said his sister’s angel to the
leader ‘/s my brother cone!’
And he said’Nay but his maiden
daughter-’
And the man who had been a
child saw his daughter, newly
to him, a celestial creature among
those three, and he said ? ‘My
daughter’s head is on my sister’s
knmnWi to, m ts nrf'Wl
there is the baby ot old time, &ft'ij
lean bear the parting from her,
God be praised !’
And the star was shining.
Thus the child came to bo an old l
man, and his once smooth face wa3|
wrinkled and his steps was bent. I
And, one night, as he lay upon his
bed. his children standing round
he cried, as he cried so long ago ;
‘I see the star !’
They whispered to ouc mother.
‘Heis dying.’
And he said, ‘I am. My ago is
failmg from me like a garment, j
and 1 move towards the star as a
child. And O, my Father, now I
thank thee that it has so olteu
opened to receive those dear ones
who await me ?’
And the star was shining, and it
shine? upon his grave,
From the Londoa Daily Telegraph
. Robert E. Eec.
At Lexington, in the State of
Virginia there is a college which
bears the name of the most illus
trious citizen ever boru in the
“Old Dominion,'’ fertile as that
pleasant land has been in heroes ;
nor could George Washington
himself have wished that the col
lege erected in his honor should
have for President a worthier chief
than the one who quitelv entered
upon his duties just a fortnight ago
The new President is still in the
prime of manhood, though already
his hair and beard are gray ; he
has been long accustomed to com
mand ; he is familiar with hard
ships as with fame—has slept for
months amid the woods of Virgin
ia, and has crossed the Rappahan
nock Northward at the head of a
victorious army , he has been
proved alike by good and evil,
lortune, and whether when threat
ening the Federal capital, or when I
surrendering his sword to a Feder
al captain, he has ever borne him-’
self as beseemed a man noble alike!
by ancestry and by nature. The J
descend nt of “Light Horse Uars
ry” has doffed the gray uniform for
the garb of a peaceful pro.essor,
nor cau wo own that change is a
degradation, even for Robert Lee.;
There is a difference in the;
mode of action, but no alteration
in the object, which is simply to
render the best service ho can to!
his uative State. To that single)
aim he has never once been unfaith- |
fqj an ] Lc .tni stil! pur-ue it, we;
| may rcst*assured, with the old high
I enthusiasm, tempered by a cautious
brain. Tlnoughout the war not i
ing was more remarkable than Lee’s
personal influence—the manner in
which In? impressed every one who
approached him. That men with
Jackson’sfpurltv and earnestness,
or with tj*e debonnaire and graceiul
valor of Situart should appreciate
the illustrious qualities of their
leader, was only natural, but even
the liumM|st soldiers in the rank
felt, though they might not have
been ablcfrio express, the mor
al power #hicli Lee exerted. The
war was, !jn all conscience, san
guiinry enough; but there would
have been a ver> carnival of car
nage, a dov lish outbreak of all
men’s fiercest passions, had tho
Southern leader bean of different
temper. Gallantly as the Confed
erates fought, we must never forget
that theirmrraies were often com
posed of somewnat questionable
raw material ; that the volunteers,
with all instinct of bravery which
*!dom an d a dominant class,
had likewise many of the vices
which are invariably engendered
by the possession of abitrarv and
lawless power. Accustomed to the
unchecked.license of authoiitv, the
slaveholcM’S might perchance have
been ready enough to give the Wa*.
a character o? i temecine hatred ;
I and it was eminently due to Rob
ert Lee that tne courtesies and
j humilities of cvilized warfare
! were, on,,the whole, observed. —

j I»0 LITICAL BIJAIDAiBSS.
j There is ona thing in the political wo-Ui
| of tor-day that the people of the United
States seem uot to compr -hend. and that it
that the political fate oi the South is to lie
the political f«te of tbe whole country—
that the tyrnniry which oppresses the States
of tbe South tt-day, aud is attempting to
fa-ten degradation and shame upon th
i bighc-.I officer t>f the Nation, will soon op
press the Norjh as tvel! aud destroy the
liberties of th? one, as they have already
destroyed tbe 1 her ties of the other
It requires i* prop!)- tic eye to see tips,
lit ia the exHppie of history—the logic of
events—the althmetic of tyranny. Why
cannot the penile of the North see it I It
is because thtj do not feel that grinding
oppression as tc do here. The south sees
i*. feels it; it t with us. about ns, around
us. It compares our States with bayonets,
enforces its o*4i laws, and disregards tbe
constitutional (rights of tbe people. Is it
going to stop iere? Is it .going to be sat
isfied with destroying public liberty in tire
South, and ekablishing the philosophy of
the sword hertrj! We believe uot Tyran
ny doesn’t lik<fto let go—it dotin'i like lo
give up its sway—it doesn’t like to give up
its sway—it demerit like to give up its pow
er. The bjslot of every tyranny teaches
this. And it fill not relinquish its power
in this coutttiq|.unless it is forced to do so
by the ttigUtiefpower of an enraged liber
ty-loving peopl.
j If this powejrs not exerted for this pur
! pose, then the Isser power will become the
