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 •YIXdT AMOR rATRIJw’ GREENSBORO', GA., MAY 28, 18G8. | 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 she gentla nature of (Le man de ! generated into weaknes-; with a I high hand be could restrain excess es, and admirably did he exercise his power, There are no purer page* in the history of the civil War thaq those which relate to his invasion <»?'

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 ! greater, and 'ii sweep over the >iortb as jit has over theilLir ad sunny Scuth. | The central kwer of tt.if tyranny isCcc- I gress.
