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.

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.

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.

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. “August Belmont, Chairman.” 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 the Commanding General for permis sion to allow persona convicted of minor offenses by civil courts to work out the fines imposed on them on the public highway, it is hereby ordered, That sub-district commanders may, on the application of the proper civil authorities, allow the employment on the public highway, at a fair compen sation, of all ouch persons. Great care will be takeu that this authority is not abused by overworking the prisoners, or retaining them longer in confine ment than is necessary. The use of the ball and chain is per mitted in cases wjiere it is impractica ble to furnish the proper guard; or when there is danger of escape; but this order is not intended to revive or old. This is,.of course, a very unconi- authorize the use of the chain-gang, moo age; but we are satisfied that, with proper usage, mules would com monly attain to be about forty years, being serviceable to the last. previously prohibited.
