The following was Gen. Lee’s favorite hymn, and it has been a soufc* of comfort to Christians ever since it was written, which was about 1785, by the Rev. JohD Kirkham, an English Methodist. It was bung over the remains of the dead hero just prior to their commitment to earth— “dust to dust—ashes to ashes.” How firm a foundation ye Saints of the Lord, Is laid for your Faith in His excellent word! What more can lie say than to you He hath said, You who unto -Jesus for refuge have fled? Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid ; I*ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand. Upheld by my Righteous, Omnipotent hand. ‘•When thro’ the deep waters I call thee to go, The river of woe shab not then o’erflow ; For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. “When thro’ fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply ; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. ’E’en down to old all my people shall prove My Sovereign, Eternal, Unchangeable Love; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne. “The soul that on Jesus still leans for reposo, 1 will not, 1 will not desert to bis foes! That Soul, tho’ all hell should endeavor to shake. I’ll never, no n&rer, no never forsake." yVIISCELLANEOUS. A VIRGINIA SONG IN FRANCE. “Oil, Carry me back to Olrt Virginia”— How Mozart Adopted it. A lady correspondent writes from New York to the Washington Patriot: Almost thirty years ago a gentleman from Boston was traveling through France in one of the old stages whose compartments were onlv obtained at considerable expense, and met as his fellow-pas-enger a gentleman whose trenera! knowledge and easy chit chat rendered the journey most pleasant When the stage arrived the Bostonian dis closed his nationality, and M-zart eagerly asked him about the negro melod es, which he had till then vainly searched for. The gentleman w’as about leaving fur his own home, but promised to bring Mozart all that he could gather of this music on his return to France. He kept his word, and during the winter after his arrival the masquardes, just befure Lent, were given with all the elegance which distinguished them at that time; for the nobility, and even members •>f the royal family, frequented the gay sa loons where M zart led the orchestra. On fi»iH evening, *t the end of the season of 184 , anew strain, full of tender pathos, seemed delicately iDterwuven with the over tun. At first light and graceful, the music was charming, and then a wail that seemed to express a wild passionate heart-cry, sounded, and the whole a-semhly, wild with enthusiasm, turned to Mozart, and, with one shout of applause, lifted the thone-tnast er from his stand and bore him in triumph round the room.* Is there a S mtherner w’ho can ever forget this air, or a Virginian who would require to be taught the notes of “Oh, Carry me Back to the oid Virginia Shore ?” This old song of the the south had charmed the maeetro, and, grafting it upon his own individuality, he had thus inspired the bril liant circles of France.” Ait Interesting Memento of lufaYit Geor gia. We saw at the auction room of Messrs. Ellis So Spencer, yesterday, a map of Geor gia executed in the pear 1818—morn than fifty years ago. It was one of a number of the same maps for sale there. We under stand that a rather excentric book-seller of Savannah boxed up these maps abont fifty years ago, and has preserved them until recently, when they were sent in the same box in which they were originally packed, to Messrs. Ellis Sc Spencer. Their excel lent preservation shows th.it they have never been hung up or used for reference. This map was drawn for Eleazer Early, by Daniel Spurges, and is a much handsomer specimen of such wrk than we had thought to find in maps of fifty years ago. All of this part of Georgia wa3 at that time an Indian country, as is shown by the map. There were no counties laid out west of the Oemulgee river, or in all North-west Georgia. A portion of extreme North eastern Georgia was also unorganized and inhabited by Indians. It is hardly neces sary to add that this was also the case with the country between the Chattahoochee river and Montgomery, Ala , and that the falls city of Columbus had never been thought of. We find,on this map the derivation »of the name of our river. The name was formed of the Indian words Chatto and Hochee— Chatto meaning a stone and II »- chee fl owered So the compound word Chatto-Ilochee meant a flowered stone, and this name was chosen because of the dis covery in the river or bunks of stones pre senting on their surface the appearance of flowers. The name as Anglicised on the map is Chatahouchy. We believe that other and very different translations of the word Chattahoochee have been given, and it may be that this one of the maps is incor rect. But it is at least a pretty conceit that the s ones in our river, which cause their valuable falls, will make this land to “blossom as the rose” when our great water power shall have been fully utilized, and the manufacturing industry of this region shall equal in importance aud pros perity its agricultural production.— Col' unibus Sun Usages. The custom prevails in England of com pelling lawyers, when practicing in court, to wear a huge white wig. A more absurd clinging to useless usages of a bygone peri od can scarcely be imagined. Among the lawyers now practicing in London is one “Oftlonel” Chester, a black man, who form erly lived in Philadelphia. The effect of clothing the head of this very black man (for he is full-bl coded) in a verv white wig j is described as both ludicrous and “sensa tional.” The English lawyers treat him with great consideration, but do not like b-kr “style,” vfhicb is/ aobordingto no- News Items.

In a recent lecture to students. Hon. Hen ry R. Gillet, of New York, gave an inter esting account the Snpreme Court, as fol lows ; The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial tribunal in our coun try. It has a Chief Justice, and has num bered from five to ten, and now of Dine. They dmss like other people, except they wear a long, loose silk robe, when in court, much like an Episcopal clergyman. These tend to produce a dignified appeafaflce. Let our theories be what they may, dress has much to do in forming our estimates of mankind. When Bishop Dubois visited his Indian Catholic people at St. Regis, no one wonld recognize him as such in hin eitiz mi’s dress. Bot when he exhibited himself in his official robes, the untutored Indian kuelt. to touch his garment. Throughout the world officials are deemed to be more dig nified in certain costumes, than in common dresses. Hence, this high tribunal deoms it a duty to follow in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors, aud adhere to the graceful silk robe. On the first day of the term no business is transacted, but the court and its officers make an official call on the President, as the head of the government. Subsequently, at eleven o’clock in the morning, the Judges assemble in their room, robe themselves, and, with the mar-halos the District of Columbia at their head, proceed to the court room. At the entrance door the latter an nounces in a loud voice : “The Chief Jus tice and associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.” The Chief Justice takes the centra seat, the oldest in commission on his right, the next oldest on his left, and so on in strict military fashion, the youngest associate occupying the ex treme left. On their entrance every person, out of respect, rises. When the judges are all in position they bow to the bar and spectators, and this salutation is respect fully returned. When seated, the Crier, at the instance of the Chief Justice, opens the court by saying in a loud voice : “Oh, ye ! Oh, ye 1 All persons having aoy business before the Supreme Court of United States, draw near and give your attendance for the court is now in session.” The first case is called, and if counsel are ready, the Clerk hands each Judge a print ed record and briefs on both sides giving a short statement of the case, with the points to be discussed and authorities to be relied upon. Without special permission of the Court, no counsel is allowed to extend his argument beyond two hours. Not a disre spectful word is allowed to be spoken of any one, present or absent. The Court pro ceedings are designed to be as and agreeable a« in the most refined social cir cle. The Judges never interrupt or cate chise counsel, or otherwise embariass them They are patient listeners Have ever heen gentle and kind. Many years since, a young counselor with his first cause became embarrassed, and was about failing in his opening. Chief Justice Marshal Hiking intently and kindly at him, seemed to he forcibly struck with something he said, seized tiis pen and appeared to make notes of it. This he continued to do for some time, when the young counsel recovered from his embarrassment and made a splen did argument. The unusual course of the Chief Justice attracted the attehtion of the observing Clerk; who on the adjournment, Boughtto see what the venerable Judge had noted down. When lo! Not a note, or oven a letter was found on the sheet before him. He had made zigzag lines over it, and nothing else and clearly done so to restore confidence to the young counselor. Such kindness shows the true hearted gentleman, and is worthy of imitation by all in posi tions of authority. The discussious of counsel are often ani mated, but seldom, loud. Some pursue the conversational style. This was always the ease with the late Chief Justice Taney. William Wirt was seen one morning in his room walking to .and fro, rapidly, and on being asked what was the matter, said that a certain cause vVas to be argued that day, and that Taney was his adversary. To the inquiry, whether he did not consider him self hia equal, he replied. “Yes : but it is difficult to contend against that Apostolic manner of his.” After arguement, each Judge in his own room examines the case, and then they all meet in their consultation room and ex amine it together. The Chief Justice asks the opinion of each, beginning with the youngest. After arriving at a conclusion, the Chief Justice selects someone to write out the opinion for the Court. This when prepared is submitted to another consulta tbn, aud w-beo made to conform to the views of a majority, is read in open Court by its authov. In reading the opinions, the youngest Judge reads first and the Chief Justice last. The Ja ter always announces practice decisions. These opinions are printed and corrected by the writers before they go to the Reporter. Those who dissent prepare and read their opinions, which are publish ed as a part of the reported case. Nothing can be more dignified or orderly than the proceedings of this court. The-e considerations largely contribute to the re spect which is paid to its decisions. All suitors feel that they have had a fair hear ing ; that they have been patiently and respectfully heard—even if disappointed in the oooolusions of the Court, This Court iff the last and trusted anchorage under the federal government. Corruption may stalk abroad, and even wind its wav through the other departments, but suspicion has never pointed here. Even its errors 'have not shaken the confidence of the masses of the American people. When this tribunal breaks from it moor ings and floats in the eddying currents of politicians, among the cands and rocks of partisanship, then farewell to our constitu tional, to our representative republic. When the session is finally closed, the crier announces in a shrill, clear, voice, that “this Court is now adjourned to meet according to law.” Thereupon there is a shaking of hands and leave taking by the Judges and Bar and each goes his own way, as we shall s on do. Severe, Mrs, Swisshelca is rather severe cm Lin coln for not emancipating the women when h‘t> fffd Poiiioulng by Vaccination. Tt 18 becoming a Serious question among scientific men, wether the attempt to ward off emaif-pox by vaccination does n >t intro duce another lamily of diseases, or certainly aggravated and intensify tfa old ones, in Comparison with which it were much safer to run the risk of the contagion first dreaded. I hat vaccine matter, the beet of it, is im pure, all men who know anything about it, are satisfied ; and tho explicit testimony of distinguished practitioners shows that it can scarcely be employed at all except to contaminate and poison its innocent recipi ents. Dr. Rioord. in 1865. did not hesitate to declare the reality of such poisoning be fore the Acadamy of Paris. Dr. Epps, who vaccinated one hundred and twenty thoue nnd persons during his directorship of tho d**J nit*,. Iluspitul iu >r>, b<hf -o U«^tk declared after a quarter of a century’s prac tice, that vaccine is n p ison • be says “it penetrates ae such and effects all organic systems, so that it acts represively on tho smail-pox ; it paralyzes the expansive pow ers of the body, and the pox poison is re tained in the mucous membranes.” Since vaccination came in, it is averred by the highest authorities that new diseases have invaded the internal coating or aggravated existing diseases, such as croup since 1810, abdominal typhus since 1810. cholera since 1830 and dipthcritis since 1854. Children do not, to be sure, die of small*pox, but they die of measles, scarlet fever and simiL ar diseases, which the means for expelling small-pox have made more intense. These allegations certainly challenge tho closest investigaii >n. The Wonders of u Watch. There are very few of the many who carry watches who ever think of the complexity of its delicate mechanism, or of the extraor dinary and unceasing labor it performs, and how astonishingly well it bears up and does its duty under what would be consid ered very shabby treatment in almost any other machinery. There are who think a watch ought to run and keep good time for years, without even a drop of oil, who would not think of running a common piece of machinery a day without oiling, the wheels of which do but a fraction of the service. We were forcibly struck with this thought the other day upon bearing a person aem.ark that by way of gratifying his curiosity, he had a calculation of the revolutions which the wheels of the watch make in a day and a year. The result of this calculation is as suggestive as it is interesting. For example: Tho main wheel makes 4 revolutions in 24 hours, 1460 in a year; the second or centre, 24 revolutions in 24 hours, or 7760 in a year ; the third wheel, 102 in 24 hours, or 60,080 iu a year; the fourth wheel (which carries the second hand,) 1440 in 24 hours, or 525, 600 in a year; the fifth or scape-wheel, 12,064 in 24 hours, or 4,728,400 revolutions in a yesr ; while the beats or vibrations mane in 24 hours are 388,800 or 141,812,* 000 in a year. Eating at Night; As the day closes, we all become weary, and the body yearns for the repose and rest which only the quiet chamber can fully give. The whole system is weak—feet, fingers, arms, everything. There is not a muscle in the body which does not partici pate in that tiredness. The stomach is a collection of muscles, and these are called to work at each meal ; and to dispose of that meal is' a work of four or five hours. The more that is eaten, the more work has to be performed. Any one can see, then, the striking absurdity, of giving a weak stomach four or five hours’ work to do at the close of the day, of giving rest to the body by sleep, and yet keeping the stomach hard at work until near daylight- Its repose, then, is the repose of exhausuou, and it does not wake up for breakfast any more than the body would if kept out .of bed long past midnight. Not being waked up, it does not call for food, and there is no appetite, (no “seeking,” as the word literal ly means) for food. Tlte Sleep of Flowers. Almost all flowers sleep during the night. The marigold goes to bed with the sun, and with him rises weeping. Many plaDts are so sensitive that their leaves close during the passing of a cloud. The dandelion opens at five or six in the morning, and shuts at nine in the evenifig. The goat’s beard wakes at three in the morning, and shuts at five or six in the afternoon. The common daisy shuts up its blossom in the evening, and opens its “day's eye” to meet the early beams of tine morning sun. The crocus, tulip, and many others, close their blossoms at different hours toward evening. The ivy-leaved lettuce opens at eight in the morning, and closes forever at four in the afternoon. The night-floweriog cerus turns night into day. It begins to expand its magnificent sweet scented blossoms in the twilight, is foil blown at midnight, and closes never to open with the dawn of day. In a clover field not a leaf opens until after sunrise. Didn't Persist. The following anecdote is told of one of our most careful aod sedate druggists—a gentle man of the old school, who for fifty years has occupied the same corner, and in all his dealings, medicinally, is a very scro pulous man. Not long since a person of not particularly liberal practices, and withal a close mao, came into the ‘Good Samaritan* with a recipe that he wished put up, and the man of drugs proceeded at onoe to attend to it. While engaged in weighing out the compound, the customer, with a smile, intended to be childlike aDd bland, 6aid to him: ‘Now, doctor, be sure afad give me good measure.’ The doctor paused, holding the scale at rest, while he looked over his spectacles at the man before him. ‘Sir,’ said he solemnly, ‘it I were to give you the merest grain more than this iecipe calls for, you would be in hell in five minutes.* The buyer didn’t insist. W oman. A celebrated writer says: “No woman can be a lady who can or wonld mortify another. No matter how beautiful, how refined, or bow cultivated she may be, she is in reality, coarse, and the innate vulgari ty of her nature manifests itself here. Tniformly kind, courteous and polite treat ment of all persons is one mark of a true NO. 17.
