POETY CIRNEH
DO NOT SI\G THAT SO.\G
AGAIN.
BY HUGH F. M’DERMOTT.
F
Do not sing that song again,
For it fills my heart with pain ;
I am bending to th ■ ''last,
And it tells me of the past,
Of the years of long ago,
When my days were voting and fair,
And my heart was light as air—
When one feeling filled the breast,
And one image gave it rest,
In the long, long ago.
Do not sing that song again,
I have lived my years in vain,
And my hair is thin and gray,
And I’m passing fast away ;
On the dark and downward streams
I’m a wreck of idle dreams ;
• Aud it puts me on the rack
At the weary looking bark,
At the ebb and at the flow
In the long, long ago.
Do not sing that song again,
There's a tear in its refrain;
It brings sadly bach the time
When my manhood fell its prime ;
When the cm fades, dear and true,
Closer, warmer, fonder grew,
In the hour of friendship’s proof,”
When tiie false ones stood aloof,
And their friendship was but snow,
In the long, long ago.
Do not sing that song again,
It distracts my weary brain.
Ah, too well, abis! I know
It is time for me to go.
And to leave to younger eyes
The tijild myst'ry of the ajkOs
And tliis mighty world I tread,
And the grander age ahead.
There’s a mis' upon the river, '
And there’s bleakness on the slu r-.
And in dreams I pass forever,
While soft music wafts me o’eui
mi:ij,VM:n!s.

the most imposing and interesting ju
dicial document to all Christians, that
over has been recorded in human an
nuls; that is. the identical death wa
rant of our Lord Jesus Christ. \\
transcribe the document -is it has been
handed to us :
Sentence rendered by Pontius Pilate, act
iug Governor of Lower Galilee, stating
that Jesus of Nazereth shall suffer death
a the cross.
In the year seventeen I’the empe
ror Tiberius Caesar, and the 25th day
o! March, in the city of the Holy Je
rusalem, Anna and Caiaphas being
priests, sacrificators of the people of
God, Pontias Pilate. Governor of Low
er Galilee sitting on the presidential
chair ofthe Praetory, condemns Jesus
of Nazereth to dieou the cross between
two thieves—the great and notorious
evidence of the people saying—
1. Jesus is a seducer.
2. He is seditious.
3. He is an enemy ofthe law.
4. He calls himself falsely the Son
of God.
5. He calls himself falsely the King
of Israel.
6. Ho entered into the temple; fol
lowed by a multitude bearing palm
branches in their hands
Ordor the first centurian, Quillus
Cornelius, to lead him to the place of
execution.
Forbid any person whomsoever, eith
er poor or rich, to oppose the death of
Jesus.
Tne witnesses who signed ihe con
demnation of Jesus, are. viz :
1. Daniel Robani, a Pharisee ; 2
Joannus Horobable; 3 Raphael Iloba
ni; 4- Capet, a citizen.
Jesus shall go out ol the city of Je
rusalem, by the gate of Stuvenos.”
The above sentence is engraved on a
copper plate; on one side are written
these words :
“A similar plate is sent to each
tribe.”
It was found in an antique vase of
white marble, while excavating in the
ancient city of Aquiller, in the king
dom of Naples, in the yeur 1820, and
was discovered by the Commissaries of
Arts attached to the French armies.—
At the expedition of Naples, it was
found enclosed in a box of ebony, in
the sacaisty of the Chatrem. The
French translation wa made by mem
bers of the commission of Arts. The
original is in Hebrew language.
The Cbirtreu requested earnestly
tha tin- plate should not be taken away
front them. The request was "ranted,
as a reward for the sacrifice they had
made for the army. M. Denon, one of
tho savans, caused a plate to be made
of the same model on which he had
engraved the above sentence. At the
sale of his collection of antiquities, &c.,
[it was bought. by Lord Howard for 2,-
'B9O francs.—[Courier des Etats Unis.
IMn.viug &*osstun.
Some few years since, I witnessed
[rather a strange scene in Shakspeare’s
beautiful tragedy of Romeo and Juliet;
it was at one of the Western theatres.
The piece had passed well, without in
terruption, until the last scene. The
character of Romeo was excellently en
acted and loudly applauded. The ve
ry modi lof the lover was before the
tomb of the Capulets, gazing upon the
motionless f>rin of her who had so at
tracted his soul, and meditating upon
committing an act which would send
his spirit to that undiscovered country
whore he supposed Juliet’s had gone.
Just as he exclaimed, “Here’s to love!”
and at the same time raised the vial
which contained the poison tojhis lips,
a stalwart young countryman" jumped
upon the stage, seized him. dashed the
vial front his hand, crushing it to
atoms, and yelling :
“Yer darned fool, she ain’t dead;
only been fakin’ a little slecpin’ medi
cine. Didn’t you get the parson's let
ter?”
.‘.‘Sirrah!” growled out the
tragedian, while the house fairly shook
with laughter.
“Why, yer gal ain’t dead, T tell yer!
The way it was, they wanted to make
Juliet.marry that chap that - ,’’ pointing
to Paris, “whose business you have '•**
’ i x .runet war
spuitis—she got her back right up. and
vowed she wouldn’t do it even if, while
she war Ivin’ in the vault, the ghost of
the other feller whom you kilt should
dash her f rains out with the bones of
some of her dead cousins. Wall, her
spunk war up, ami she took tho stuff
the parson fixi and, so she could play pos
sum till y"U got hum. That’s the way
i war.” replied tfie countryman, giving
the desperate lover a tremendous poke
in the liii.s, with his elbow, and at tho
same time loosing his hold.
“Hell’s cur.- s on the fellow!” mut
tered : t .• raving tragedian, as he stalk
cd behind the scenes.
“Wall, now,” said the countryman,
fronting the audience, ‘‘if that ain’t a
little the dod darned meanest cuss I
ever did see, I hope to be swnwed. —
That’s all the thanks I git for stopping
him from pizennin’himself. I hope to
he tarnally swashed if ever I go to in
terfere agin whan a feller wants to
murder himself,” he continued, as he
clambered hack to his seat just in time
to prevent his upper story from com
ing in contact with the curtain as it
descended
Historical.
A story conies to us from Cleveland
which will be relished hereabouts,
where the family name of the hero is
not known. In the action of Lundy’s
Lane, a Colonel O’Neil (“General,” he
came to call himself,) got a scratch on
his leg. The wound was a matter of
great glory to him, and he nursed it
through after days, growing lamer with
every year that the memory of his
bravery might be ever near him. Grad
ually, from sheer pondering over his
glories, he grew to think that the suc
cess of the battle was largely owing to
his valuable services, and finally the
impression grew and became fixed in
his brain that Scott was a mere subor
dinate to himself. One day, late in
life, as he sat nursing his leg and pon
dering over the glorious past, a young
man, visiting ttie family for the first
time, approached and sympathetically
remarked,
“Lame, General?”
••Yes, sir,” after a pauso and with
ioexpress'ivo solemnity. “I am lame.’
“Been riding, sir ?”
“No,” with rebuking sternness, “I
have not been riding.”
“Ah ! slip on the ice, General, and
hurt your leg?”
“No, sir!” with actual ferocity.
“Perhaps you have sprained ycur
ankle, sir?”
With painful slowness the old man
lifted his leg in both hands, set it care
fully on the floor, rose slowly from bis
| chair and, looking down upon the un*
fortunate youth with a state of min'
gled wontjer, pity and wrath, burst
forth in the sublimity of rage,

Sr rs. Judy O’Pbinmgan was aoTTlfi.,
lady, with limited means and a good
constitution. She, therefore, like a
sensible woman, used the latter to pre
serve the former by taking in washing,
and soon became noted as a purifier of
soiled linen.
Mrs. Judy was a widow, having bu
ried her “dear Mike” a few days after
his return from a fair, his head broken
in seven places. “Small loss,” said the
widow to herself, yet she waked him in
a manner worthy of the O’Flannigans
in olden times.
Now, Judy lived in that "modern
Babylon” called London, and it chanc
ed one day that Madame la Mode, a
noted French modiste, while visiting
“pertide Albion,” required the services
of one of her craft, and being recom
mended to Judy, called, and found her
busy over her tubs, her ample skirts
well pinned back and her person re>
sembling a huge clothes pin with a
sheet tied arouud it.
Madame was charmed; to her it
seemed a novel sight, as they do things
differently in la belle France. There
the washerwomen are not troubled with
long skirts ; besides, they generally use
the river for u yash-tub. She imme
diately felt inspired with the birth of a
new fashion, and on her return to Par
is produced the dress called the “Blan.
chisseuse,” which, moaning simply
washerwoman, did not suit on this side
of the water, and the one now in use
was adopted in its stead.—[Washing
ton Chronicle.
FaniiliM Quotations.
[St. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
The appearance of anew edition of
Mr. Bartlett’s admirable volume of
“Familiar Quotations” affords fresh
occasion for wonderment over the
strange and unsuspected origin of many
of the sayings so common in daily life.
It seems almost impossible for a modern
to say a good or bright thmg that can
not be traced back to a respectable an
tiquity. The Bible has given us scores
of apt and striking bits of wit and wis
dom which have been in use so long
and so generally that it is a surprise to
hear where they came from. Aud, on
the other haud, it is no less surprising
to learn that numerous choice passages
of morality and religion which we are
accustomed to credit to the Scriptures |
were really first uttered by heathen
philosophers, or written by the poets
and playwrights of remote centuries.
For in.-tance, the expressions, “ Man
proposes, but God disposes,’ which
people no doubt think was iuvented by
a latter day life insurance solicitor, np*
pears in substance iu the Rook of
1 roverbs; and, per contra, the pretty
sentence, “ God tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb,” which is ordinarily
quoted us from tire Bible, was written
by Sterne in his “Sentimental Jourj
ney.” It is curious, too, that a great
many of our soscalled vulgarisms have
tho stamp of high authority—as
“To run a muck,” for which Pope is
responsible; and “Too thin,” which
was applied by King Ilal to the flat*
teries of Rishop Gardiner, according to
3lr. W illiam Shakespeare, a geutleman
who also used the word ‘bully ” in ex
actly the sense that we now hear it em<
ployed by godless urchins in our back
alleys. v *
Of course, we are indebted to the
works of Shakspeare—conceding that
they were written by him, aud not by
Lord Bacon—fora large portion of our
most popular and serviceable quota
tions. It is Shakspeare that says,
*■ Ore touch of nature makes the whole
world again ;” “ he hath eaten me out
of house and home;” “thy wish was
father to that thought;” “familiar in
their mouths as household words
“ all that glisters (uot glitters) is not
gold,” etc., etc, But Shakspeare did
not originate ali the shrewd sayiugs
which sound as if he might have made
them. It is Jlilton who speaks of
“ Linked .weetness long drawn out,’?
and furnishes the much worn remark
about “ fresh woods (not fields) and
pastures new.” That elegant apothegnq
“to err is human, to forgive divine,”
comes from Pope, who also wrote the
homely truth, so often cited, “ Fools
rash iu where angels fear to tread,”
and that other excellent bit of irony,
“An honest man’s the noblest work of
ilod ” Johnson taught us to say “ Hell
’V paved with good intentions ; ” and
./.dsmith gave us the conquering
" ** —; ~S* rr.l. „
phrase of equivocal virtue, “ W here ig
norance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise,” if
supplied by Gray; and the favorite
heading for speeches on the currency,
“ Thoughts that breathe and words that
burn,” is to be found in the same quar
ter. “ A fellow-feeling makes onp
wondrous kiud,” was written by Gar
rick ; “ The trail of the serpent is over
them all,” by Moore; “ Of two evils,
the least is always to be chosen,” by
Thomas A. Kernpis; “Fine by de
grees and beautifully less,’’ by Prior ;
“What will Mrs. Grundy say?” by
Morton, in the play of “ Speed th|
Plow “ A thing of beauty is a joy
forever,” by Keats ; “ Coming events
cast their shadows before,” by Camp
bell; and “God helps them that help
themselves,” by our own Doctor Frank
lin.
Turning from the matter of theiy
origin to the quotations themselves,and
our use of them, it is singular to notice
how rarely some of tho most familiar
ones are spoken and written correctly.
Byron alluded, with malicious severity,
to a class of pedants “with just enough
of learning to misquote;” but even the
most thoroughly educated are not al
ways free from this sort of blundering.
For example, the phrase “ A looker oo
in Venice ” is used every day by weil
bred writers, with careless confidence
in its correctness, when the truth is
that what Shakspeare wrote was, “ My
business iu this State made me a looker
on in Vienna.” A still more flagrant
error, and one quite as common, is thp
spelling of the word “ cleave ” in tno
quotation, “Sleep, that knils up the
ravel’d sleave of care,” as it it were thp
“ sleeve ” of a garment that Shakspeare
referred to, when, in fact, he meant it
knot or tangle of silk or thread. This
mistake, curiously enough, occurs in
Mrs. Hale’s standard “Dictionary 6i
Quotations.” Every s,?hool-boy, to say
nothing of cultured grown folks, ought
to be able to quote correctly the famous
saying of Webster about England,
“ Whoso morning drum-beat, following
the sun and keeping company with the
hours, circles the earth daily with one
( continuous and unbroken strain of the
martial airs of England ; ’ and yet no
less a personage than Sir Henry Bul
wer, in his pretentious “Life of Pal
merston,” thus murders the superb
beauty qf the passage, “ 1 here is not
an hour in the day iu which the Brit
ish drum is not beating in some region
of the earth.” This is little less ludi
crous in its way. considering Sir
Henry’s high attainments, than the
story they tell of Long John Went
worth, who, aiming to close an elo
quent stump speech with Bryant's well
known couplet, “ ‘Truth crushed’ —
how’s that? It’s by Bryant, you know
—that beautiful poem of his ‘ Trut
crushed to earth ’ —splendid thing.you
remember—‘Truth crushed to earth,
will—will ’ come up again ! I forget
the rest of it; but if any of you tiouh',
