THE GA.TIK OF LIFE.
This life is but a game of cards
Which mortals have to learn ;
Each shuffles, cuts and deals the pack,
And each a trump doth turn ;
Some bring a high card to the top,
And others bring a low.
Some hold a hand quite flush of trumps,
While others none can show.
Some shnffle with a practiced hand,
And pack their cards witli care,
So they may know when they ara dealt
Where all the leaders are ;
Thus fools are made the dopes of rogues,
While rogues each other cheat,
And he is very wise indeed
Who never meets defeat.
When playing, some throw ont tie a;e,
The counting cards to save;
Some play the deuce, and some the ten,
But many play the knave ;
Some play for money, some for fun,
And some for worldly fame,
Rut not until the game's played out
Can they count up their game.
When hearts are trumps we play for love,
And pleasure rules the hour—
No thoughts of sorrow check our joy,
In beauty's rosy bower;
We sing, we dance, sweet verses make,
Our catds a* random play,
And while onr trumps remain cn top,
Our game’s a holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown the pack,
The players stake their gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won
By gamblers young and old ;
Int.-nr on winning, each his game
Doth watch with eager eye.
How he may sen his neighbor’s cards,
And beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps look oat for war,
On ocppn and on land :
For b'oodv horrors always come
\\ lien clubs are held in hand ;
Thnn lives are staked instead of gold,
The dogs of war ace freed—
Across the Atlantic, now,
See ! clubs have got the lead 1
Last game of all is when the spade
Is turned by hand of Time ;
He always deals the closing game
In every age and clime.
No matter how much each man wins,
Nor how much each roan saves,
The spade will finish up the game,
And dig Ihe players’ graves.

HE ISSUES A GRAND “PEECE PROC-
LAMATION.’’
A Hard Hit.—There was a physician in
‘ neighborhood of hranklin, where Dr.
anions preached for seventy-one years,
o was corrupting the minds of men by
pantheism. This physician being cal
[ \ 0 a sick family in the 1 ranklin par-
met the Franklin minister at the
use of affliction. It was no place for a
pute. it was no place for any unbe-
nin» r familiarity with the minister. It
s no place for a physician to inquire
o the age of the minister, especial-
witii any intent of entangling him in a
jate, and, above all, where the querist
s too visionary for any logical discuss- |
But the abrupt question of the pan- j
ist was:
Mr. Eirnnoas, bow old are you .
sixty, sir; and how old are you came
s quick reply. ' . „ „
•As old as the creation, sir, was the
iimphant response.
‘Then you are of the same age wit j
lam and Eve?” ,
“Certainly; I was in the garuen when
ty were.”
“I have always heard that there was a
rd person in the garden with them, tut
mver knew before that it was yon.”
The pantheist did not follow up the dis-
ssion.
Cbu Pak.late President of the See Yun
3mpany, of San Francisco, died m teat
ty. a few days ago. Mr. Cbu Pak was
very wealthy gentleman of the Chinese
srsuation. and died at the mature age of
xty-mue. His funeral was a splendid
fair. Long tables were spread in the
reets, which were loaded down wi i
leep, goats, hogs roasted whole, and dec-
ated with flowers, feathers &c. ncense
as burned, bands were played, pray-
s were said, dirges sung, and the de

Ills Advice to the Radicals.
Washington. Feb. 27.
To Mi Hot Film ore :
Dear Millot—I spose you have red
onr messige a vetoing of the Freedman’s
Buro. The great Stait paper is gone
from us abiiin, down the stream of time.
We rit it, and we sent it out as a far ex
pression of our feelins, and vues on the
present surcumsfnnces.
As a genneral thing I and the President
cant stop to explain to inquisitive persons
what we arc adoing of. for the country.
W e could’nt spar the time. Yet I wish
to give you and Jeemes Buccannon the
pints, occassionly because I know you
can appreshate our difficulties.
When this Freedman’s Buro lor, came
to ns for our approval, the President cotch
up the paper and red it through from the
beginning to ihe ending, without stoppin,
and then handed it to me without aayin
of a word. I red it myself, the President
lookiii first at me and then at the fire, tell
I got through. When I finished it the
President said—
“Did you ever see the beeter of that in
your born days; there is more brakin of
the Constitushon, in that one lor, than in
all the acks of Congress since I was a baby.
What shall I do with it?”
iSes I. what does the Constitushon say
we must do with it ?
“Veto it,” ses the President.
Then veto it, ses I; and when we veto
it less leeve the matters imbraced in it
clear and distinck for all future time. Put
it beyond dispute. Did you ever know
Glink Winkfeel, ses I, Mr. President?
“No,” sed the President, “I never bad
the pleasure ot his acquaintance. What
of him ?”
Ses I, Glink Winkfeel was the son of
old Boohoo Winkfeel, a relashun of Gen-
ueral Winkfeel Scot. Now, Glink was
cross ide and near cited and yused to war
an old pair of black iron spectacles, with
round glasses nearly as big as a saucer.—
Glink’s bar was white, all his life . and
when I kriowed him particular, he was a
great hand to play marvils, and we conld
always tell when be was goin to take ont
the middle man from tor. Glink would
roach up his back and draw a beed on the
middle man and tarn bis hod sorter side
ways, like a dog lookin at a peece of bred
in your band, and then blaze away, and
I ne' er knew Glink to miss the middle
man, if he had time to roach bis back and
draw bis beed. Now, Mr. President, 1
want you to roach yonr back when yon
come to veto this lor. Take the mid
dle man out from tor, and settle the Buro.
Ses the President, “I know all about
taken the middle man from tor, and I’D
■how the boys how they pass thar red
quilt patch work lors and expect me to f hats. You got to buy nm yourselves, or
sine them. Major, I’ll rite the veto and go betbout; when you git lick old Mars
aint gnine to send the doctor to cure you.
while I am doing that you must rite out
that genneral proclamasbori we have been
torking about and when we get through
we will reed over and correct them.”
Very well, ses I. Mr. President, be
pinted in that veto; leeve vaig gennerali-
tees to Mr. Seward and Bonypart, but we
must rite so that every boddy can under
stand us—it saives a site of trouble.
Thereupon the President took his slait
and pencil and rit off the first draff of his
Veto Message, while I rit the general
proclatnashon. When we finished, the
President red first, and we altered and
amended it to suit onr jint vues, which
that is the same message sent to the Sennit
on the 19th instant, and which has been
published, and I needn’t send you acoppy
of it. After the Message was finished, I
red the proclamashnn as follows :
“Intbenaimof—Amen. IAndyJobn-
sing, President of the Unity States to the
whole terrifirmy of North Amerika, Gree-
tin.
“Know you that since Generals Sheri
dan and Kilpatrick, Melroy and Butler,
Thomas and Hunter, Grant and Sherman
has gone through the rebellion with thar
armies, and gathered up all the gold and
silver wotches, silver spoons, breast pins,
finger rings, nives and forks, silk dresses,
carpits, and everything else they wanted,
as spiles belongin to the victors, and de
stroyed everything they didn’t want, and
laid waiste the feelds, burnt the dwellings,
fences, barns, stabels, and mills, cut down
the freot trees, trampled on and prefained
the gsaves of the hoonered ded, imprison
ed the wimmen, old men and boys; the
armies of the Oonfpdracy so called has
staked their arms, given thar payroll, ta
ken my amnesty oath, and gone home to
look at the chimlys whar once stood thar
homes, and gether together thar families
to mone over the desolations of thar coun
try, in good yernest determined, to live
sod die in the Union, and to axcept peece
on the terms of my proclamashon, so that
now the thunder of cannons and morters,
and mnskits and rifles and pistols, has
dide out, the tramp of the wor horse, the
rumblin of waggins and ambulances, the
groans of the sick and wounded, the dub-
ble quickin of army cores and regiments
is heerd no more.
New then, it seems to me a fittin occa-
shon to issue this my speshal proclama-
shon to all Amerika, that peace do now
rain in Worsor. In the language of the
poet—
“Wild wx>r*dedly bla^tis blowed out,
And gentle peace refnrnin ;
With many a sweet baib fatherless,
And many a wider mournin,”
The old flag waives over every inch of
our territory, and we possess all the fotes,
docks, and navy yards everywhar, and
the hole Union is restored. The lost
pleiads which had broke loose from thar
natteral center of gravitashon, has come
back into thar proper plaises in onr sistem,
and is all movin on harmonious together
every whar but in Congress. The time is
come for our arm is to be musterd out, -and
go borne. The swode should be beet into
the plowsher, and the bagganit into the
prunin hook, (See holy rit at this pint.)
The caunons and guns, and shootin irons
should all be gathered together to rest in
peece, and the casin waggins should be
put tohaulin saw-logs to rebuild the waiste
places of our conutry.
Peece having returned thar is no farth
er necessity for marshall lor enny whar
in these States, and therefore I do call in
all the provo marshalls and commandants
of distiicks, and restore the rit of Hab-
beas Corpus every whar. So that every
man of every shaid of culler may have
his own boddy, and no boddy shant take
it away from him by marshall lor, nor by
no other kind of lor, without his own con
sent, and without tellin him, wharfore he
takes it, and givin him a chance to get it
back agin without delay.
To the armies of the Unity States,
which has borne the heet and burden of
four years of bard fitin and long marchin
I return thanks en the naim of the re
stored Union, espeshally to the glorious
officers and soggers who advanced our flag
without steelin nothin they found lyin

insultin unprotected wimmin and children.
Go to your homes, and all you who has

Hang not your beds if the little ones
should ask yon whot you paid for these
things, and you have to told them you

Then yon will have to work for your com

To the three thousand preachers up
North, and the strong-minded wimmin up
thar: I proclaim that peece has come.
Ye preachers that forgot God and went to
worshipping the golden calf in the lobby
of Congriss has fell from graise and shall
meet yonr reword in this world or in ths
next, turn from the error of yonr ways
and seek the trne God. or like Judas you
will all go to yonr own plases at the old
scratch. To the strong-minded wimmin
up thar, kantankerus old maids, mad be
cause they aint gut no hnsbonds and chil
dren, agitaters, I proclaim deliverence and
good nnse. Sambo bein free now and
left to select his own companion every old
maid can git a nigger hnsbon, or as she
has lost time heretofore she may take two
or three, and raise up children by scores
to save Massachnsits from the shaim and
disgrace of not bein able to fill out her
next quota should thar be another wor,
and sendin down South to open recrcotin
officers thar.
To the People of the Confederate
Staits, so called : In vew of the success
ot my policy of reconstruction, I pro
claim to you peece and pardon. I know you
had great cause to become restive in the
Union. Your rites laid down in the Con
stitution and to preserve which the
UuioD was formed, was denied you,
but still you orter hill on and contended
for yonr rites thar. You done rong to
try to git out and quit us. In too hot
haste you tride to brake the bons of Un
ion. Wor resulted, and sech a wor as
history fails to give us a parrallel of, re
sulted. Your people every whar went in
to it, and your armies fort with gigantic
heroism, without feer and without re
proach.
Your gennerals and solgers rendered
the Amerekun n&ime forever glorious.—
Yet you were overpowered, and submit
in good faith to the constituted authorities
of our country. We tako you to our bus-
som as the hed of the nashon, and say
from the bottom of our heart we forgive
you. Do you now forgive us and less all
now henceforward live together in peece
and quiet as a great nashou. Thar is no
further cause for jars. Slavery, which
Lincum sed some how caused the war,
having disappeared, less berry the hatchit.
Smoke the pipe of peece, and every bod
dy every whar will know that the Unity
Staits combined can whip all creation and
the balance of the world combined.
To the Congriss of the Unity States en
gaged at the present riting en passing of
lors for the pasification of the people, I
wesh to give aleetle advise. Let the Con
stitushon which our inspired fathers made
and left us, as the palladium of our liber
ties alone. Stop your patebiu and tink-
erin with that sacred instrument You
aint passifide yourself. Remember you
was elected in the 6torm and whirlwind of
passhon coused by the wor and Lee’s
whippin us agin, as representen the ex
treme voes of the Radicals, but now the
storm is over and you aint qualifide to
represent peeceful communities..
The Constitushon is the bond of Union
between equal Staits ; it has its sacred
checks and ballances. It could not have
exested without them. Destroy it not,
brake it not, or the Union will be broken.
Brake the string and the beeds will scat
ter all over the floor. It required conses-
shon, to make the Constitution, and it
was baptized in blood and teers, touch it
not with unwoshed hands. The rebellion
was intended to brake the Union by se-
session, and it failed,, though it had some
show of rite on its side. Now you are
trying to brake the Union by destroyin
the equality of the Staits. You are trait
ors at hart. Remember i have taken au
oath to protect and defend that Constitu
shon, take care what yon are adoing of,
or before you know it, yon will find your
self in fote Lafayet. But if really you
desire to do your countrymen a great ser
vice, you will all resine and go home, and
let other men come to the work of restorin
public confidence. The wor bavin been
eended, it is fit and proper for the buz
zards and vultures feastin on carrion to
go away and give plais to the dove of
peece. Go home Sumner and Wilson
and Thad. Stephens and Longyear and
let patriots and gentlemen have your
seets, to passify and soothe to reBt the
snbsidin surges of the angry tempest so
long disturbin our otherwise happy land.
Go to your holes in the mountains, ye
beasts of pray and carry along with you
Botts and Deckinson and Doctor Bracken-
ridge. and then die and go to old Scratch
where yoa belong and be dogged to you
By the President.
to get Jeemes Bucannon and Frank Pierce
to get together with you and reed it over,
and if you think it all rite you must say
so; if not rite*n8 a note to the care of the
President.
I thort of putting a heap more in it, but
as it has got to occupy a conspicuous plais
in our literature, I concluded to make it
short and to the pint.
What would you think of a speshal
valledictory to Ben Butler and Milroy ?
Don’t they deserve it ?
The reason I didn’t put it in, I was
afeered they want guine home. I would
be glad to forget them fellers, and never
heer of them no more in this life.
I suppose you have red all my letters
to Jeemes, and find things is goin on just
as I said. In corse they is; don’t I know 1
Yon may expect every day or two to see
a new veto. The President’s back is
roached. Remember Glink Winkfeel.

P. S. While I and the President was
riten our papers a great crowd of Radicals
was runnin all round the White House try-
in to git in, but the door was shot, and
the door keeper stooj thar with a boot
jack ready to knock down the first man
that run io by him, and they didn’t, for
he showed them his weepin. Sumner
stood off far, and every time he looked
todes the house, be put his hand behind
him like he was guine to take out his hand
kerchief, but didu’t, and I was feered
some whar hart’him. The President is
torking about makin me a feel marshall to

him, but they are so hungry for offis inst

in Philadelphia.—His harangue was vio

upon the crowd. Perceiving this, Fred
took his advantage at the flood, and went
higher and higher into the regioD of elo

A Moonless Month.—The month cf
February, 1S66, just closed, will be mark
ed in the astronomical calender as the
month which had no full moon ! January
hed I wo full moons, and March will have
two, but February had none. Of coarse
this peculiar conjuncture of periods that
makes the full moon show her face but a
few hours before the month comes in, and
again a few hours after the month goes
out, is a rare thing in nature—but how-
rare do you suppose gentle reader ? It has
not occurred before in your lifetime, nor
ours—not since the time of Washington;
nor since the discovery of America by
Columbus; no, nor since the Christian era,
nor since the fall of Adam, nor since the
creation of the world, unless that period
be placed back myriads of years. And
it will uot occur again, according to the
computation of astronomers, for two mil
lions and a half of years.— Neto York
Evangelist.
A writer in a Georgia paper introduces
the American eagle, which for five years
has been a comparative stranger in these
parts, in this style, preliminary to the
fourth of July:
“The American eagle is looking at ns.
His tail feathers has been plucked out,
but still he i6 on his roost. Miss Colum
bia is also standing with her flag-staff and
flag onto it, but ehe looks, a little passe !
We must fix up the eagle, get the goddess
a new set of teeth and a waterfall, and
have fourth of July got up regard ess of
expense. We must give all the Mormon
women a husband apiece, marry the anx
ious schoolmarms that come down South
to teach the darkies, put the niggers to
work, build a horse railroad from New
York to the City of Mexico, dam up the
Gulf stream, lick England, (Old and New,)
annex Cuba, and we will Le again a great
and glorious country.”
The Reason Why.—The Reconstruction
Committee have presented a quantity of
evidences to prove that the people of the
South are uot as orderly and lovai now as
they wexe at the conclusion of the war,
and for this it is argued that they should
not be received into the Union. Now it
strikes us that if the people of the South
are becoming restive and turbulent under
the state of doubt and uncertainty io
which they have been, and are still kept
tor lifted his finger tragically to heaven in bv the diabolical system of the Radicals,
the affirmative. ■“Oh, murder did they lac-, that this fact, so far from being an argu-
erate you ? Fred answered that theyr ment in favor of lheir continued exclusion,
did. “Did they buck yon like a sboat ? 1 -
Fred answered they did. "Begorra!’
roared Pat, “if that be true, you must
have been a d—d bad nager !” It closed
the meeting in a general row.”
GEORGIA FINANCES.
Upon a careful examination of the re
cord we find that the late Legislature, sa»
ving its liberality to itself upon which we i
commented at some length a few days ago,!
observed a commendable degree cf econo- !
my in disposing of the public money. |
The principal appropriations made were
$200,000 to furnish bread &c., to the fami- j
lies of deceased and indigent Confederate
is rather one that promotes their early ad
mission. It is. no donbt, true that the un
reasonable policy and inexcusable delay
of the R adicals in acting upon the subject
of their admission has exasperated many
who were houestly determined to abide
by the results of the war and accept the
situation, and we have no doubt that every
day of procrastination will increase the
evil, but those who cause the delay and
not those who justly complain of it are
the responsible parties.—Louisville Cou
rier.
Garret Davis' Speech.—Garret Davis
made a speech in the Senate, on the 2d,
soldiers, $20,000 to supply artificial limbs , on the joint resolution providing against
to those who were maimed in the war, and
$24,000 to the Penitentiary. In addition
to this the Governor was authorized to pay,
would the funds be sufficient to aidmit of
it, the $600,000 due to the United States
the admission of Southern Representa
tives, m which he made some important
points. He said : “The President is re
quired by the Constitution to 6end messa
ges to Congress, and he has the power to
as Land Tax, and also a considerable i decide what body is Congress. The mem-
amount due the Government for rolling { bers here who are in favor of admitting

expenditures of the State. The probable
! ordinary expenses for the present fiscal
i year, including the civil establishment,
j interests to become due on the public
: debt, appropriations made at the late ses
siou, pay of members &c.. &c., will
amount to about $1,081,000. The pub
lic debt now due, $234,600. Back inter
est due, $596,000, making a total of $1,-
911,500 In this are not included the ex
pense of repairs and rolling stock on the
Western & Atlantic Railroad, and the
amount due the Federal Government on
the score of Land Taxes.
For the payment of these expenses, the
Governor is authorized to dispose of the
bonds of the State to the amount required,
the people not being in a condition at this
time to meet any considerable amount of
taxation. The credit of the State, not
withstanding the general individual em
barrassment, is upon as sound a footing as
that of any other State in the Union.
The liabilities created in order to carry
on the war having been repudiated under
orders from Washington, as a condition
precedent to a restoration of the State to
the Federal Union, the public debt is but a
mere bagatelle compared with the resour
ces of the State. To say nothing of the
taxable property still lef: to us, and which,
in the course of a year or two will be
ready to assume its full share of the public
burthen, the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
in its present crippled condition, is yield
ing an average net income of $75,000 per
month. For some time the receipts from
this source will not be available to the
State for general uses, as they are pledged
to meet the expenses of repairs and equip
fbents, bat its business will soon disen
cumber it and produce a handsome revenue
to the State treasury, to be used for the
extinguishment of the public debt and the
relief of onr people from the heavy bar-
then of taxation.
AU this considered, we cannot see why
relations with them, and he (Mr. Davis)
advised him to do it.” A little further on
he added: “Whenever Andrew Johnson
chooses to say to the Senators of the Sonth,
in the exercise of his u >ble constitutional
light, you get together and form a Senate
with the Democrats and Conservatives,
and I will recognize you, what will be
come of this body I”
