THE CHILDREN.
Tlie following beautiful poem waa written by Chas
Dickens:
VVLen the leseons and tasks are all ended,
And the ecbool for the day ie diMi.ib.Hed,
The little ones gather around ine.
To bid me good night and be kinned:
O ! the little white arms that encircle
My neck in the tender embrace,
O ! the r-railes that are halos of heaven.
Slu tiding sunshine of love on my face.
Art! when they are gone I sit dreaming
Oi my childhood, too lovely to last :
Ot love that my heart will remember,
While it w ukes to the pulse of the past,
Lru the huh la and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin:
V\ hen the glory of (lod was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
O! my heart grows weak as a woman’s,
And the fountains of fee hug will flow,
^ hen I thii k of the paths steep and stony,
W here the feet of the dear ones mu>-4 go.
Of Hie mountains of sin hanging o’er them—
Of the tain pent s of Fate blowing wild.
0 ! there’s nothing on earth hall so holy
As the innocent heart of a child 1
They are idols of hearts and of households ;
They are angels of God in disguise ;
llis sunlight still sleeps in their tressea ;
His glory still gleams in their eyes.
Oil! these truants from home and from Heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild !
And ] know now, how Jesus could liken
The kingdom ot God to a child.
1 ask not a life for the dear ones,
All radinnt, ms others have done,
But thi t life may have just enough shadow
To temper th*- glare of the sun ;
J would pra vGoo to guard them from evil,
But my prayer would bound back to myself;
Ah! a serr.ph may pray for a sinner,
But a turner must pray for lumself.
The twig is so easily bended,
I have banished the rule and the rod ;
I have laught them the goodness of knowledge,
Th^yhavc taught me the goodness of God;
My heart is a dungeon ot daikness,
Where I shul them for breaking a rule;
My frown is sufficient correction ;
My love is the lawot the school.
From the New York Leuder.
the firht of nay.
THEN AND NOW —IN TWO CHAPTERS.
I shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more ;
All! imw I shall sigh for the dear ones,
That meet me each mom nt the door!
I shall miss fhe “good nights” and the kisses,
Ana the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me.
I shall miss them nt morn and eve—
Their song in the school and the street;
1 ahull misti the low hum of their voices,
And tin-tramp of their delicate feet,
W u(-n (be b-s.-'oi.s of life are all ended,
And death :-itvf-, “ The eclioo! is dismissed 1”
M ay (he little lines gather around me,
To but me ^oud night and be kissed.

There'smnsic in the balmy winds
That gently drifting by,
Brino round our hearts the minstrelsy
Of spring time’s dreamy sigh ;
And music in the rolling waves
That on the shell-lined shore
Bu nk with the faint, sad undertone
Of “ Never, never morel”
There’s music in each roseate cloud
That’s tinged with morning’s blush,
And in the holy, perfect calm
Of dewy twilight’s hush.
There’s music in each ray of light
That trembles in tiie air;
Unwritten music fills the earth,
There's music everywhere.

DITKENN’ FAREWKIJ) TO BOSTON.
Mr. Dickens gave his final reading
in Boston on Wednesday evening, in
Tremont Temple, before one of the
largest and most cultivated audiences
that has greeted him in this country.
His reading table was profusely deco
rated with rare and beautiful flowers,
and as he noticed the graceful compli
ment on approaching the footlights,
Mr. Dickens said: “I kiss the fair
hands unknown who have so beauti
fully adorned my table.” At the close
of tlie reading, in response to loud ap
plause, Mr. Dickens said:
Ladies and Gentlemen : My precious
and generous welcome in America,
which can never be obliterated from
my remembrance began here. My
departure begins here, too; for I as
sure you that I have never, until this
moment, really felt that I am going
away. In this brief life of ours, it is
sad to do almost anything for the last
time; and I cannot conceal it from
you that although my face will soon
be turned towards my native land and
all that makes it dear, it is a sad con
sideration with me that in a few mo
ments from this time this brilliant ball,
and all that it contains, will fade from
my view for ever more. But it is my
consolation that the spirit of the bright
faces, the quick perception, the ready
replies, the generous allowance, and
cheering sounds that have made this
place joyful to. me, will remain, and
you may'rely upon it that that spirit
will abide with me as long as I have
the sense and sentiment of life. I do
not say this with any reference to the
private friendships that have for years
and years made Boston a memorable
and beloved spot to me; for such pri
vate references have no business in
this public place. I say it purely
in remembrance of, and iu homage to,
the great public heart before me.—
Ladies and gentlemen, I beg most
earnestly, most gratefully and most
affectionately, to bid you each and all
farewell.
As Mr. Dickens was leaving the
stage the audience rose cn masse, and
while the gentlemen hurrahed over
and over again, their wives and daugh
ters waved their handkerchiefs until
lie had retired from view.
Doctors Canes.—It was formerly
the practice among physicians to carry
a cane having a hollow head, the top
of which was gold, pierced with holes
like a pepper box. The top contain-

■ Rise, and put on your foliage and be seen.

And sweet as Flora. Take no care
For jewels for your gown or hair;

Gems in Rhtindarice upon yon.
Besides, the childhood ol the day has kept
Against you oorae, some orient pearls unwept.
Come and receive them while the light

And Titan on the eastern hill

Few beads are best, when once we go a-May-
ing.”
Sue!; was the greeting that fell upon
my ear one bright first of May morn
ing, some twelve years ago. How my
heart bounded! even before I opened
my sleepy eyes. The dream of happi
ness was mine then, either sleeping or
waking, and the first of May was bv
far the most fragrant flower in niv
beautiful day-wreath of life.
Through my opened windows the
breath ol the yellow jasmine, which
hung in clusters around it, embracing
with its tendrils the early rose, whose
buds were just beginning to show the
blush of their maidenhood, floated in,
and some saucy sprays, more brave
than the rest, entered my room, and
like a coy lover, were dancing in and
out on the breeze of fear and doubt,
wishing, yet dreading to be caught.
Below me lay ihe green lawn, spa;k-
ling in the sunlight i s if the gods had
sprinkled it with countless myriads of
diamonds, and the grand old forest
trees, clad in their new Metternich
robes, seemed nodding and beckoning
me to come forth. Who could resist
such invitation? Certainly not I; and
in a few moments I, too, had donned
my fresh spring attire, and was down
giving directions to the delighted ne
groes to prepare the pic-nic repast and
to get ready the horses. Not long had
I to wait, for May and her pleasures
came early in those days in my sunny
home, without our singing the sweet,
beseeching Easter Bridal Song of
“Gentle Alice Cary;”
•Push little bauds from the bended face—
The tresses crumpled curlj;
And stick the hem in the frill of snow,
And give to the veil its misty flow,
And melt, ye frosts, so surlj;
And shine out Spring, with your days of grace,
And bring the flowers so early.”
“Come! come! come! o’er the hills,
free from care!” sounded the summons
from the joyous voices of my lisrbt-
hearted companions, as tiey waited
at the gate for the addifiot s to the
party. In a moment we were all
ready for a start, some in carriages,
some on horseback, and some in wag
ons.
Our committee of arrangements de
cided we should have a pic-nic, or a
regular May festival, in the woods;
that we should elect a Queen, whose
willingly subjects we were to be for the
day; and were to finish with a dance at
night, and a strawberry and cream sup
per in the Representative Hall in the
Capitol, the use of which was kindly
proffered us by the State dignitaries.
Surely no Representative Chamber
could be put to better use, except—
ye8,I will make one exception—except
being used as schoolrooms for the pres
ent and future lawmakers of the South
—our colored rulers.
Soon we reached the scene of festiv
ities, Fort Wilkinson, which will be
remembered by bistoriansjas one of the
old Georgia forts during the war. We
have foits in countless numbers a-
round our city now—forts and trenches
which were thrown up and dug out by
Governor Joseph E. Brown for tiie
protection of the capital of the Em
pire State of the South. Much good
did they do, for when Sherman’s army
passed through our section of the coun
try the forts and trenches were there,
but our military men had—to use a
vulgar term—skedaddled; and the
Federals went through, laughing at
the folly of those who ordered the city
divested of its only beauty—its trees
—and singing.
•‘Where, oh. where, are the Hebrew children?”
Surely nothing could have been
more lovely than the old fort that
bright May morning, situated as it was
upon the summit of one of our red-
clay bills, and crowned with a wreath
of flowery vines and trees. The odor
ous crab-apple, the white dog-wood,
and the poetical hawthorn, forming
a foundation for the honeysuckle, jas
mine, and the evergreen, with its
emerald berries, to twine about—all
the growth of late years, or at least
since the fort has been out of use, and
forming & striking contrast to the
sturdy oaks and piues which adorn
ed the hill-side and the valley be
neath.
From a spring in the hill-side a tiny
streamlet stole, and wound itself, like
a silver serpent, around the hill’s body,
arid leaped in miniature cascades .over
the rocks which obstructed its course.
The stone foundation of the old hut,
w’hich once formed a part of the fort,
is still there, and also a few bricks of
the chimney are left. It was to those
bricks that Aaron Burr, as he passed
a prisoner through Georgia, was secur
ed.
When quite a child, I used to hold
long conversations with an old negro
man, who was at the fort with his
master on that memorable night; and
from his lips I learned a thrilling
episode in the life of Colonel Burr,
which has never been related in any
life ol that celebrated character.

be, but let them. Icy hearts are never,
kind. It is a word that has choked
many an utterance, and started many
a tear. The hand is clasped the word
spoken, we part, and out upon the
ocean of time we go to meet again—
where, God only knows. It may be
soon: it may be never. Take care

Again, it may be a long separation.
Friends crowd around and give you

“good by” the love that lingers there;
and how you bear away with you the
memory of ihese.parting words many,
many days.
We must often separate from those
we love when it is hard to part. Tear
not yourself away with a careless bold

your last words linger—give, the heart
its full utterance—and if tears fall,
what of it?”—Tears are not uuman-

Employ leisure in study, and always
have some work in hand. Be punc
tual and methodical in business, and
never procrastinate. Never be in a
hurry. Preserve self-possession, and
do not be talked out of conviction.
Rise early, and lie an economist of
time. Maintain dignity without the
appearance of pride; manner is some
thing with everybody, and everything
with some. Be guarded in discourses,
attentive and slow to speak. Never
acquiesce in immoral or pernicious
opinions. Be not forward to assign
reasons to those who have no light to
ask. Think nothing in conduct un
important or indifferent. Practice
strict temperance, and iri your transac
tions remember the final account.
Irish Emigration.—Correspon
dents in Ireland write that the exodus
from that country to the United .States
has again begun, and that all the
steamers coming to America, and also
numerous sailing vessels, are filled with
emigrants. The various ports of Ire
land are also filled with emigrants
awaiting passage, and the majority
are said to be from 1G to 25 years of
age.
ton is the only man who held a seat in
the United States Senate for thirty
consecutive years. The only instance
of father and son in the United States
Senate at the same time, is that of
Hon. Henry Dodge, Senator from Wis
consin, and his son Augustus C. Dodge,
Senator from Iowa. General James
Shields is the only man who ever rep
resented two States in the United
States Senate. At one time he was
Senator from Illinois and subsequent
ly from Minnesota. John Quincy Ad
ams held positions under the govern
ment during every administration from
that of Washington to that of Polk,
during which he died. He had been
Minister to England, member of both
houses of Congress, Secretary of State,
and President of the United States.
He died while a member of the House
of Representatives.—Sar. Hey.
Longevity in Mules.—We have
numerous reports of mules attaining
the age of forty fifty or sixty years, and
Col. Middleton, of S C., stated some
years ago that he had one at work on
his plantation eighty years old, and
we have seen an account of a mule in
Ireland certified to have been at work
since 1707, making him over 160 years
delegates to which she is entitled. The
National Committee is very desirous
that an earnest appeal should be made,
to the conservative element through
out the Union which has not heretofore
acted with the Democratic party. We
call upon every Democratic voter to
unite with us in our efforts to save
our institutions from the lawless des
potism which now threatens the very
foundation of our Government. It is
only by the united action of all who
love the Union and the Constitution
that we can hope to drive from power
iu the next Presidential election the
Radical party, which, by its represen
tatives in Congress, lias attempted to
usurp the functions of the judiciary
and executive branches of theGovern-
rnent.and which, by profligacy and cor
ruption iu the management of our na-
natioual finances continues to burden
our people with a system of taxation
which must end in pubiic and private
disaster, unless arrested by a wise,
sound, and economical policy, such as
a Demcratic administration is sure to
give us. 1 hope you will lose no time
in order to cause such measures to be
taken in your State as will bring to our
aid in the contest before us the com
bined strength of all those who are op
posed to Congressional usurpation and
negro supremacy, and who wish the
restoration of peace and unity between
all thesections of our common country,
under the blessings of the laws and
the Constitution, for which our brave
soldiers and sailors shed their blood,
and the nation poured out its treas
ure.

A Woman’s . Friendship.—It is a
wondrous a Ivantage to a man, in eve
ry pursuit or avocation, to secure an
adviser in a sensible woman.—In wo
man there is at once a subtle delicacy
of fact, and a plain soundness of judg
ment which are rarely combined to an
equal degree in man.—A woman, if
she be really your friend, will have
u sensitive regard for your-character,
honor, repute. She never counsels
you to do an imprudent thing. A
man’s best female friend is a wife of
good sense and heart, whom he loves,
and who loves him. But supposing
the man to be without such a help
mate, female friendship he must still
have, or his intellect will be without a
garden and there will be many an un
heeded gap, even in its strongest fence.
Better and safer, of course, are such
friendships where disparity of years or
circumstances puts the idea of love
out of the question. Middle life has
rarely this advantage; youth and old
age have. W’e may have female friend
ships with those much older, and those
much younger, than ourselves. Fe
male friendships are to a man the
bulwark, sweetness, ornament of bis
existence.

Application having been made to

That sub-district commanders may,
on the application of the proper civil
authorities, allow the employment on

will be takeu that this authority is not
abused by overworking the prisoners,
or retaining them longer in confine

The use of the ball and chain is per
