“The Long Ago.”
“Oil! a wonderful stream is the river Time,
A s it runs through the realms of tears,
With a faiffy^ss rhythm and a nyjsicad rhyme,
And a broader sweep, and a surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow
And the summers like buds between,
And the year in the sheaf—so they come and
they go,
On the fiver’s breast, with its obb and flow,
As it glides in the shadow and sheen.
Tb" ;e is amagicsl IqJ.e up the river Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing ;
TL --re’s a cloudless shy and a tropica] cii w,e,
And a song as sweet a- a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name of this isle it the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there :
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow—
There are heaps of dust, but we love them so !
There aye trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And a part of an infant’s pyayer;
ffhorp’s a lute unswept and a harp without strings
There arc broken voiys, and pieces, of rings,
And the garments yhat sue used to wear.
There are hands that are waved yv'hpn thp fairy-
shore
IIy the miragp is lifted in ayr.j
And we sumetimes hear, through the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh ! yemember for aye bo thp blpassd isle,
All the day ol'life till night—
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
Mav that “greenwood of soul be in sight.’’

A Remedy for Abolition—The St,
Louis To'elf if oncer of the 13th inst., dis
cusses at some length the evil of slave-
stealing to which Missouri is in an $spe-
spR degree subject, and proposes as a rem
edy for the mischief such an additional
supply of negroes as will at once satisfy
the wants of the abolitionists of Illinois,
•i of the planters of Missouri. The
ifor qoncludcs his article thus :
“There is one mode only of meeting
this difficulty. Abolish the ousting laws
against the slave trade ^nd regulate it
henceforth and lioonse It, The poor
barbarians of Africa will be vastly ben-
eiitted a.i\d thoroughly CTiri^tianiso.cl by

the slave trade that made it horrible.
Make it legal and respectable and then
we can have plenty of negroes foroiyr own
use and can spare to. Chicago as many as
her citizens wish to steal.
We are in earnest about this matter,

Mr. ^:cqb. cns o! Georgia. _
A correspondent of the Detroit Fre
Press gives the following graphic descrip
tion of this distinguished son of Georgia.
Mr. Stephens is a remarkable man—one
of the most remarkable meu in the present
Congress. His figure and face are pecu
liar ; and the stranger who for the first
time, sees him rise to jspeak, is naturally
impressed with the idea that he is some
awkward school boy, who is about to prove
that nature has saved him the trouble of
making a fool of himself. Not that he is
a yopng man, for I suppose he must be 45
ycam of age at the least; but there is a
sickly, gawky juvenility in his appearance
to one who views him from the Represen
tative gallery, which may well excuse such
impressions ^ I suggested/ He
of medium height, with slender, attended
frame, shoulders rounded almost to the
point of deformity, small, sharp head,
prominent features, unusually long and
skinny looking arms amj fingers, and a
complexion of most death-like hue. His.
dark thin hair is combed down q\\ite
atraightly; and.beneath his heavy over
hanging brow flashes an eye as keen and
full of life as the eagle's. His voice, issu
ing from blanched lips, at ordinary times
is thin and weak, yet it possesses a quality
of impressiveness in its lowest intonations.
You will agree with mq that this is an
unpromising picture of an orator. And
yet, when warmed by the subject of which
he treats, there is no man in Congress
whoqe eloquence takes firmer hold of the
I perceptions and emotions of an audience
than does the oratory of him I have descri
bed. As he rises to address the house,
members flock near his seat,; and as he
proceeds with his remarks, the hum of the
galleries and lobbies dies away iu the lis
tening silence. There is,-too, a power of
fascination, of magnetism, in his voice, that
fastens attention upon him, and gives to his
appeals to reason or to sympathy an influ
ence seldom equalled and never surpassed,
t never, hear, him without thinking of John
Randolph. There is much about him of
the eccentricity of personal appearance that
Randolph presented ; and he seems to pos
sess very similar characteristics of simple,
eloqueut directness in his debates. His
speech to day was worthy of fame, and will
be read by tens of thousands ; but I will
not do him the injustice to attempt to dc-
Qicmpc^ancc.
John Alholiol, My Joe.
John Alcohol, My Joe John,
When we were first acquaint,
I’d money in my pockets, John,

Because I loved voiu'io;
But mark me how you’ve treated me,

Nov- 12th, by the side of a keg of rum
which mutely told the cause of las misera
ble ‘death
On the morning of Oct. 2-lth, a man
named Jacob Mitchell, keeping a porter
house at No. 51 Athi ny Street, N. Y.,
was shot in the head by a drunken rowdy,
who bad been making a disturbance in the
house. The wountled man was removed
to the hospital.
Henry Triiffott, a Prussian, was bru
tally murdered in a rum hole, in Syracruse,
on Sunday night Oct. 22. II? got into a dis
pute with some of the company, (Germans)
who fell upon him knocked him down, and
stamped upon him, inflicting injuries
which resulted in his death, after a few
hours of intense agony. Two Germans,
George and Jacob Brunner were arrested,
charged with the assault upon Trugott,—
This, says the Chronicle of that city,
makes the sixth murder commited in Syr-
acr^gg within about three months, all of
which were the direct results of rum.
—On the same day, (Sunday, Oct. 22)
three Germans, returning from a shooting
excursion, through Niagara Street, Buffalo;
were set upon by some Irishmen, decided
ly the worse for liquor. The party assail
ed fired upon their assailants, wounding
two of them, Michael Hamlin and Mich
ael O’Brien. The latter received a shot
in the leg, severing the femoral artery, and
bled to death in an hour. The German
who shot O’Brien was arrested,but the oth
ers were ^qliered to depart. Both parties

It will be a day of lasting rest. When
the night that is far spent is completely)
exhausted, am) the day shall be fully come,
then there shall be perfect rest. Thq
earth shall have its Sabbath, whicli it lost
by our gig. . shall have his, in its in
tegrity and purity and beauty. God rest
ed on the seventh day from all his work^
and hallowed the Sabbath, and blessed it.
There is not a laborer in the work-sho^
nor a toiling man in the post-office, nor a
clerk in the GO.u,ntipg-hmis?., that may no^
claim the Sabbath. Next to God’s word,
God’s Sabbath is the right and privilege
of man. Infidelity impugns and de
nounces' both : bff Gods grace we will part
with neither. And when that last Sab
bath comes—the Sabbath of all crcatioq
—the heart, wearied with its tumultuous
beating, shall have res$; the soul, fevered
with its anxieties, sliall enjoy peace. The)
sun o^ that Sabbath will never set, or veil
his splendors in a cloud. The flowers tba|
grow in bis light wiH never fade. Our.
earthly Sabbaths are but faint reflections
of the heavenly Sabbath, cast down upon
earth, dimmed by the transit of their rays
from so grpat a height and so distant &
world. The happiest Sabbath heart, whose,
very pulse is a Sabbath bell, heays but a
very inadequate echo of the chimes and
harmonies ‘of that Sabbath, that rest^
where we “ rest not day and night,” i^
which the song is ever new, and yet ever;

generally used instead of shot, and their
time of flight can be so accurately calcu
lated that they shall explode at the rno-
mg’jit of thejr. arrival at any object.
According to llerpath’s Journal, shot
only was used formerly; and a 32 pound
er cost about 5s. It is now found that
shells are incomparably more efficient;
and what is called a 32 lb. shell, fited with
fusee and all complete, costs 20s. for ever)’
32 lb. shell fired. For an 8 inch or 68 lb.
shell the cost is 24s. and with powder and
wads 38s.
The guns for 32 lb. shell weigh aboqt
two tons, aqd qast about £40 each. The
guns for the 08 lb. shells weigh from 3 J to
41 tons, and cost from £65 to £05 each.
These facts will show that the present
war is more costly than any hitherto under
taken, as regards a few items of the ex
pense. Qtjier expenses are in poportion.
The Japanese Trade, i) is already acer-
tained by official reports, is embarrassed by
a serious difficulty as to the relative value iu
exchange of American and Japanese mon
ey. The Philadelphia American says :
“It will be recollected that Silas E.
Burrows reported, as the result of his re
cent mercantile expedition thither, that he
was charged twenty-eight dollars a ton for
coal, and t^at everything else was propor-
tiqnably so high that nothing was to be
made by commerce there. This was at
tributed to the Japanese jealousy of for
eigners, and their desire to get rijl of our
people iu that way. It seems, however,
that their is aqotlier cause. Our gold
aqd gilypr coin are at an enormous dis
count iu Japan, for the reason that those
metals are plenty there, and the Ja
panese do not want them. The dis
count on silver is 66J per cent, so that
an American dollar is there only worth
33 J cents. The discount on gold j§ great

the Richmond Dispatch is a good time for
beginning life anew; for making new

to learn economy ; the proud humility

amiability; the churlish courtsy; the
idle industry; the vicious virtue; and

A Beautiful Idea.—That was
beautiful idea of the wife of an Irish
schoolmaster who whilst poor himself

of the coal to be dehverd at Simoda. The! ^^ ^hlnfe that fie could not

his gentle-harted wife, “a poor scholar

report of this conference^ by the Ameri
