JAMES R. SAN DEES, Admin’r. August 2d, 1875vt5 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. IRuilii fVarnint of < lirisf. rhauce lias jusi put iuto our ban 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, •‘Go and read the history juf your country, your d—d puppy—[Cincin nati Times. mm • All Esy Lesson iu Physiology Supposing your age to be fifteen, or thereabouts: You have 200 muscles; your blood weighs 25 pounds; your heart is five inches in length and three inches in diameter: it beats 70 times per minute, 4.200 times per hour, 100,800 times per day, and 36,702.000 per year.

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', it, I’ll just bet you a coo! hundred dol lars that she v ' NO.
