The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death ! The dust we tread Shall change beneath the summer sliow- To golden grain or mellowed fruit, [ers Or rainbow.tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize, And feed the hungry moss they bear; The forest trees drink daily life From out the viewless air. There is no death i The leaves may fall, And flowers may lade and pass away; They only wait through wintry hours The coming of the May. There is no death ! An angel form Walks o'et the earth with silent tread. And bears our best beloved things away, And then wc call them “ dead.” He leaves our hearts all desolate, lie plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers ; Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bovvers. The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones Make glad these scenes of sin and strife, Now sings an everlasting song Around the tree of life. Where'er he secs a smile too bright, o.' heart i< o poor for taint and vice, lie bears it to that world of light To dwell in Paradise. Born unto that undying life, They leave us hut to come again ; With joy we welcome them the same, Except their sin and pain. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread ; For all the boundless universe Is life. Thne ure no drad! DiinicE In the Umititi ol'u Qua* Eit*r. Nantucket people enjoy a reputation for smartness, and even Daniel Web ster 1 1 mml his match there. The story as told by Mr. Webster is as follows : The court held a term on the i.-land periodically. There was not much lit igation. But (lie suits were heavy, re lating to ships, whale fishing and nil The judges and lawyers usually went over from the continent and spent a week or teu days, and finished the bu-i --ness of the season. One day, one of i)io Friends of the Island called at my i dice in Boston, and said ; “Ftieud Daniel, what wilt thou ask to come down to Nantucket and plead a case for me before the judges V ‘T will go for a thousand dollars.’ “That is too much, friend Daniel.’ “But I’li have to go down Saturday and perhaps remain the whole week following ; I would as soon argue the whole docket. •■Well, friend Daniel, if thee will ar gue such cases as I will present to thee before my case is called, l will give thee a thousand dollars,’’ so the bargain was struck. My cljent went to Nantucket, and found his case at the foot of the docket He went from man to man, and saw all who had any ease on the dacket, and said : “What will thee give if I get the great Daniel Webster to plead thy cause?” He took retainers from ado zeti men. Some gave him 8100, and some SSOO. He had grace cnou hto give me 81,000 agreed, and paid uiy expenses in the bargain. I argued the docket right through, fur plaintiff and defendant, until I reached my client s ease. He struck the ba ance, and admitted as the steam er left the wharf that he had got his case argued and pocketed 51,500 be sides. # I I —- An Ohio boy swallowed tour or five of the wheels of an eight-day clock, and he ha* kept the whole family “running’ ever since the event. * —■ Manoeuvcring mosquitos multiply marvelously, meditating mischief; malt ci us mosquitos mercilessly maul multi tudes, munching masters and misses. “Job printing?” exclaimed an old lady, the other day, as she peeped over her spectacles, at the advertising page of a country paper. “Poor J ib! they have kept him printing, week after week, ever since I larnt to read; and if he wasn’t the patientest man that ever \ was, he never could hare stood it so I long, no how!” | Josh Billing on “ Dis|H‘|tslij." I I have been a practikal dispcptlk for 27 years and four monls, and it would have been mutiny in my poeket if 1 had been j born without enny stummuck. ( I have prayed upward of one thousand times to be on the inside like an ostrich, or a traveling col porter. I have seen traveling colponvrs who could eat, as much as a goose. 1 have seen a goose eat till they could not stand up enny more, and then set down and eat sum, and then roll over and eat sum more. 1 have tried living on filtered water and ! going barefoot for the dispepshy and that i didn’t hit the spot. 1 have soked at water cure establish ments until I wus so limber that 1 kouldn't get myself bak agaiu inside ov my Baldwin appu rel. I bought a saddle horse once, wh i was goi up expressly to kure the dispepshy in 90 days or kill the horse. lie was warranted to trot harder than a trip-hammer, pull wusser on the hits, and stumble safer down hill than enny other boss on the Cut stool. I rode the boss until I was ova jelly,and then sold him bridle and all, for sixty-eight dollars, and got sued by the purchaser,and had to pay him SO dollars and some sents damage because the boss -had the “Nim shys,” a disseuze I khu nothing about. The hOsS and fixings cost me 455 dollars in gold. 1 koutrnctcd eleven cords of hickory wood, kross grained and as phull ov wrin kles as an old cow's horn and sawed away three months on it and the pile seamed to grow bigger every day. I finally gave away the saw and what wood there was left to save my life and sat down discouraged, a square victim to the everlasting dispepshy. 1 have lived at the seaside'and gamboled in the saline flood until 1 was az a number one salt mackrol. 1 have dwelt at Saratoga and taken the v aterlike a mill race audstill thedispepsby. 1 have walked 2 miles before breakfast, and then ct a slice ov dry toast and half ov a yelk of a pullet’s eg, and felt uli tjie time iaz weak az a kitten that, cum Cut 1 ova fit. £ 1 Imve Did down more. *'• >;. j-and times, and rolled over once a loinnit all ni-iit long, and got up m me morumg like a korpse, and these didn't nothing seem to , ail me enny where in particular. I 1 have read whole libarys on the stum ! muck and liver, and w hen I got thru, I knu :a great deal less what was the matter with i me than when 1 begun. 1 hav drunk whiskee with roots in it. enough to carry off auy bridge or saw mill dam in the couu'ry, 1 hav worked on a farm for my vittles an l board, and dieted on fried pork and ri bread until I was as thin as the sermon ova 7 day Baptist preacher. I hav dun all these things, and 10 thou sand otiicr things just as ridikulus, and 1 have got the old dispepshy yet just ns thick as the pimples on a four year old j goose. | If you get a good holt of the dispepshy j once, you can’t never lose it entirely ; it will cum around once in a while like a ghost, and if it doo't scare you so much az it did once, and make you think you are go ing to die to-morrow, it will make you leel just as sorry. Protest. We find the fnllo-ving protest from a “Baptist” in the Atlanta Herald against the recent invitation by tlie Woodville Baptist Association of Moody and San key to visit Atlanta: Messrs Moody and Sankey arc not Baptists, nor have they any sympathy for, or identity with the Baptist cause, when sounded to the bottom. To the Southern Christian this invitation t" these politico religious preachers must be exmeditigly distateful, when the ut terances of these evangelists are known. Mr Moody, while in Fugland, was not content to preach the Gospel, (i. e., if he does preach it in its original purity,) simply, hut he indulged in the radical religious glorification of viilitying and abusing the South, much after the style of one Bishop Haven. Of all creatures, the political preacher, especially of the abolition radical stripe, is the most con ternptible. Dr. Thomas O. Summer. Jr., heard Mr. Moody in ooe of these polili eal assaults, aod communicated the lan guage used l.y biui to the Nashville Ad ••ocate. lie reports Mr. Moody as say ing (I quote from memory A before a vast English audience that he (Moody) had -ecu the poor negro with h : r lacerated back, pursued by fiendish Southerners, deeing to Canada for protection under the Union rlack. befire the day of free lorn, toseeure the protection which was I tenied him under the stars and stripes, under slavery rule. Such sentiments our correspondent conceives must ut ■erly disqualify these radical preachers for a hearing before any Southern audi ence, whether Christian or not. It is to be hoped our brethren will quash the invitation iustanter Pruclor Knott oa Harlan. The following graphic and highly ap preciative sketch of General Harlan, was drawn by Proctor Knott, in a speech a Pembroke, Christian county, Kentucky : “1 would scorn to stain a single leaf in the glittering chaplet that entwines the brow of Gen. Harlan. I have known him long and well as a most ge nial gentleman, a profound lawyer, and a scholar of varied and distinguished attainments, and taken ail in all, a nriu of whom lam personally fond. Asa public man he lias perhaps the advan tage ol Gov. Leslie. Renowned alike as a warrior nnd a statesman, hiscareci has been such as to dazzle the enrap tured vision of every beholder with the associated splendors of a thousand brill iaut achievements, which constitute the t Tightest gems in the diadem of his country’s glory. His military record especially is a theme upon which every patriot must delight to dwell. I confess.l cannot refer to it without feeling every fibre and tissue of uiy be ing tingle with a thrill of martial ar dor [laughter and applause?] I re member how his impatient blade leap ed from its scabbard, when the first notes of civil discord echoed along the lowering horizon of ISGI, or, how it gleamed like a meteor along his terri hie pathway,as he swept like a tornado to the dread carnival of death. The awful sublimity of his going forth to immolate himself upon the Mood-stain ed altar of patriotism will haunt me to my dying day. [Applause.] It re minded mo of Ossian’s description of Cuthullin. as he rushed in the -ound of his arms like the terrible spirit of L ~ da. when lie conies in the roar of a thousand storms, scattering battles from his eyes! [lmmense applause]— What deeds of might have do.ia (7ti Tiie gory field, what hecatomb* of s'TiiiTtfTiTcretl rebels uifgttt TTafc grvve down beneath the biting edge of his trenchant blade, had he ever succeeded in nice.mg hi* country’s foes “upon the perilous edge of battle,” the pen of his tory will never tell; for ere he had an opportunity to quench his blazing brand in the blood of traitors, he was called from the piths of martial glory to the more arduous duties of civil life. [Great laughter] I know we much needed his distinguished services in the cabinet. lam willing to admit that there was net another lawyer in all the length and breadth of the Common, wealih, from Maysville to Mill’s Point, who was capable of discharging the distinguished functions of the office of Attorney-General. [Laughter.] Yet I cannot but deplore the inexorable ne cessity which compelled him to quit the tented field and hid farewell lorev er to “all the pomps, pride and circum stance of glorious war.” In fact, I consider the resignation of Gen Har lan as the direst colamity that could have befallen our beloved country un der the circumstances [laughter,] for I am satisfied that had the Confederate leaders ho.n convinced that there was no other means of escaping • direct contest with Gen. Harlan upon the open field they would have laid down th'ir arms at ouce. [Renewed sp pluuse.] But wheu Lee and Johnston, and Beauregard, ascertained that Gen. Harlan had resigned, they plucked up fresh courage and determined to prose cute the war to the hitter end [Laugh ter] It can, however, he said of Gen. Harlan, as it can of but few military heroes of equal prowess and renown, that when his teur dimnicd eye rested for the last time upon ' the war worn forms of his command, wheu lie hid them a last long adieu upon the tented field, he had the proud satisfaction of knowing that he hud never led them in to danger in his life. [Prolonged laughter and applause]—Flemings burg (Ky.) Democrat. “ What object do you now see” ask ed the doctor. The young man hesi tated for a few moments, and then re plied: “It appears like a jackass, doc tor, hut I rather think it is your sha dow.” “I lived with him nineteen years,” says an Indiana applicant for divorce, * and all the clothes he ever bought me wa* a hunch of hair pins and a tooth brush.” You can see by this what a hard time she had to keep well dressed. Blind justice—a Judge asleep. Falsely Packed Colton. False or fraudulently packed'oottons are such hales as may contain, foreign substances, water packed hales; or hubs containing damaged cotton in the inte rior without any indication of such damages upon the exterior of the bales; and such hales at are plated, or com posed of good cotton upon the exterior and decidedly inferior notion in the in terior of the bales in. such manner as not to detected without opening the bales. MIXED PACKED COTTON. That mixed packed cotton he defined to ha such bales as contain more than one quality of cotton, the lower quality being so situated in the hale that no design of false or fraudulently packing appears, the difference, how ever, in qualities must he equal to at least one-half grade in bales sold as low middling and above, and otic full grade in hales sold as below low middling. | That when mixed packed cotton is received it shall be received as of the grade of the lowest quality in the bale: That no hale shall he rejected as mixed packed when the lowest qualst) in the hale is equal to or better than sample* by which it was Sold. That afier cotton has been examined, received and pas-cd upon by the hr k er or agent ol the buyer, tio claim shall be made except for false or fraudulent puekiug. That reclamation on false aud fraud ulently packed cotton, to he entitled to collection, must be made within ouc hundred days of the arrival of the cot ton at its destination, and he presented to the seller at point of shipment with in thirty days thereafter. The above rules were adopted at the second annual convention ol the Nation al Cotton Exchange. Wcuderl'ul Memory. ■ , Ex-Governor Ferry of SotitYi lira, in the Enterprise aud Mountaineer relates the following: Chancellor Harper whose word no one would dispute, said lie read Camp hell’s poem, “The pleasures of Hope.” iotie morning before breakfast, and had never read it since, and yet he couid repeat the whole poem twenty years af terward*. I remember Judge Wardlaw telling this fact to a gentleman who asked him if he believed it. The Judge replied, “I have such croifidenco in the truth and purity of Chancellor Harper that I would believe anything he tells uie.” I heard Chancellor Johnson once say that the Appeal Judges were sitting at the breakfast table in Stew art’s hotel, Charleston, when one of them read a half column ol jumbled nonsense, '‘cross reading.” which it is said someone repeated after hearing it read bu; onee. It was laughed at as a great falsehood, when Chancellor Har per said lie had never seen or heard of. the jumble before hut he thought he could repeat it, and did repeat it just as it had been read to him. To-Morrow, To-morrow may never come to us. We do not live in to-morrow. We cannot find it in any title deeds. The man who owns whole blocks ol real estate and great ships on the sea does not own a single minute of to-morrow. It is a mysterious possibility not yet born. It lies under the seal of midnight, behind the veil of glittering constellations. Enjoy the present, whatever it may he, and not be solicitous for the future; for if you take your foot from the present standing, and thrust it forward to to-morrow’s event, you are in a restless condi tion. It is like refusing to quench your present thirst by fearing you will want to drink the next day.— If to-morrow you should want, your sorrow would come time enough, though you do not hasten it. Let i your trouble tarry till its own day comes. Enjoy blessings this Gay if God sends them, and the evils of it bear patiently and sweetly, for this day is ours. Wo are dead to yesterday, and not yet born to to morrrow.— [Jeremy Taylor. When a man has business that and *es not pav, he usually looks around for a partner to share hie losses. An Old Man’s Memories. e In December, 182 G, I met tlio celebrated Charles Carroll, of Car rollton. The Partridge Cadets were passing through Baltimore on their march from*Middleton, Con necticut, to Washington City, when we were drawn up in line beford the door of “the last signer of the Declaration of Independence.” “These are my pupils,” said Cap tain Partridge. “And in them,” replied Mr. Carroll, “I seethe de fenders of my country.” He was a little, old man, dressed in a brown surtout, ar.d appeared to be quite active for a person of his age. On onr arrival at Washington we were marched to the White House and introduced to the President, John Quincy Adams. lie received us lin the parlor, and was very quiet and sedate, arid no one could have imagined that he would subse quently flash forth, in 1844, as the most acrimonious member of the House of Representatives’ We were next introduced to the Vice-President, John C. Calhoun. What a contrast! Ho came out td us on the street, walked along the line shaking hands, and asking the name of each cadet as he took his hand. He was the most popular statesman with young tne.n who ever lived. Wo visited Mount Vernon in company with many array and navy officers. Hero I heard Gen. Samuel Smith, the leader of the famous Maryland line, deliver a speech when standing on the tomb of Washington. The greatest orator that America has produced since Patrick Henry was ; William Campbell Preston, of South Carolina. I beard him speak in tlio winter of 1837 on the “Michigan question,” when he took the Senate by storm. Out the most fascinating and de lightful speaker I ever heard was the celebrated Robert Y. Hayne, whose speech on Poote’s resolution was a master-piece. General Jack** son. the President, wrote a letter* of congratulation to him, stating that he intended to have his speech bound up with the works of Jeffer son; and the merchants of Boston had it printed on satin, which they sent to him as a token of their es teem, for his triumph over Web ster, Aud yet one .vill hear even Southern men talk about Webster having worsted Hayne in “the great deoate!” The song called “Johnson’s Wife of Louisiana.” which is a parody on lloy's “Wife of AMaval iu,” wa3 written by Warren Han som Davis. 1 once asked the Vice- President, Win. R. King, if there was any truth in Il's. line: “ l'he Inca's blood flows in her veins;” he replied that it was merely fancy. It will be remembered that John son was a Senator in Congress from Louisiana about the year 18.34 —- This same Davis also wrote tha hook called the “Life of David Crockett.” which was so popular thirty years ago. When Gen. Jackson, the President, issued his celebrated proclamation against tha South Carolina nulliflers, Davis made a speech denouncing and rid iculing him, saying, among other sarcastic remarks. “If the old gentleman must be amused, let us give him ate-to-tum.” 'I lie re mark enraged Jackson, who said: “I will make ate-to turn of his d—• 1 traitorous head,” I once heard Gen. Rob’t Y. Ilayne say, in 1732, “that Jack sen had recently written a letter o Calhoun —this was after the quar rel—and said, that as he was pre paring facts for history, he would request him to answer the seties of interrogatories inclosed with the letter. If any man foamed with rage,” said Ilayne, “it was Jack son when he received Calhoun s.re* plv it was so scathing and con temptuous.” By the way, two fools, Parton and Bancroft, have stated in their “Lives of Jackson” that he was a North Carolinian, when Jacksoh himself says in his proclamation that he was a native of South CaroPna, This state ment will be found near the con clusion of that celebrated docu ment.—New Orloans Bulletin.
