Not a word of the Past! It has perished,
Gone down in its beauty and bloom :
i et because it so proudly was cherished,
Shall w» sigh out our years at its tomb ?
By the duty and hsnor undaunted,
Still steadfast and stern can be ;
*'y the laurels a Jackson lias planted,
By the hopes that we buried with Lee—
ns wrest from the future the guerdons
That to resolute purpose belong :
Let us fling from our spirits their burdens,.
And quit us like men and be strong !
I bring yon, compatriots, brothers,
As largest, ye dare not disdain,
Like Nature’s that bountiful mother’s,
Savannahs as smooth as the main.
My valleys shall whiten all over
With snows never born cf the cold.
And grain like a Midas shall cover
Every elope that it touches with gold.
The click of the artisan's hammer
dhail scare from the furests its gUoms r
In the brake shall the water fowl’s clamor
Be drowned by the clash of the loon s.
Then up from your torpor, ye sleepers !
The dreams ye are dreaming deceives ;
Go forth to the fields with the r apers,
And garner the prodigal sheaves.
With flocks gladden meadow and mountain,
With tinkling herds speckle each bill,
And blend with the plash of the fountain,
The rumble and roar of the mill.
Brave hearts that have wielded the sal re,
. Staunch spirits that atood by the gun
1 like heed of the Gospel of Labor,
I he old dispensation is done!
I ut hands to the plow ot endeavor.
Plant foot in the deep furrowed track;
Set face to the future, and never
The wavering moment look back.
For none who despairingly center
Their thoughts ou the Bygone, and ban
I he Present, are fitted to enter
The ou-co.i.iiig kingdom of man ’

How to Succeed—Sensible Ad
vice from a College President.—
President Porter, of Yale College, re
cently gave to his students a compend
lum of advice, which has rarely been
surpassed for comprehensive brevity
He said :
Young men you are the architects
of your own fortunes. Rely upon
your own strength of body and soul.—
Take for your star, self-reliance, faith
honesty, and industry. Inscribe on
your banner, “Luck is a fool, Pluck is
a hero.” Don’t take too much ad
vice; keep at your helm and steer your
own ship, and remember that the great
art of commanding is take a fair share
ot the work. Don’t practice too much
humility. Think well of yourself.—
Strike out. Assume your own posi
tion. Put potatoes in your cart over
a rough road, and small ones go to the
bottom. Rise above the mark you in
tend to hit. Energy, invincible deter
mination, with a right motive, are the
levers that move the world. Don’t
drink. Don’t chew. Don’t smoke.—
Don’t swear. Don’t decive. Don’t marry
until you can support a wife, Be in
earnest. Be self-reliant. Be gener
ous* Be civil. Read the papers. Ad
vertise your business. Make money
and do good with it. ’Love your God
and fellow-man. Love truth and vir
tue. Love your country and obey its
laws.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
merliWie, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima
tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affectws
ol the lungs and throat, have made it known as are-
W»W e protector against them. While adapted to
JxTrf.TSf' < fe ase aml *° young children, it is
gerous afl'er.tions of the throat ;uiil’l0il2§! i
vision agains^udden attacks of Croup, it should
be kept on li.wl in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers ol cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pec
toral they subside aud disappear.
Singers anti Public Speakers find great pro
tection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly-
cured by it.
Ifronrhitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

For Fever and Ascue, Intermittent Fever,

and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Curr, and does not
( aSKClS. fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. The
! number and importance of its cures in the apue dis
tricts, are literally beyond account, and we believe
without a parallel in the history of Apne medicine.
Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we
receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate
i cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed.
Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travel!intr through miasmatic localities, will be pro
tected by taking the AGUE CURE daily.
For JArrr Complaints, arising from torpidity
of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is
! an excellent remedy, producing rianv truly re-
j markable mires, where other medicines nad failed.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.

The Date of the Crucifixion.—
Herr Kaib, the German savant, in a
work recently published shows that
there was a total eclipse of the moon
concomitantly with the earthquake
that occurred when Julius Caesar was
assassinated, on the 15th of March, B
C., 44. He has also calculated the
Jewish calendar to A. D-, 41, and the
result of his researches fully confirms
the facts recorded by the evangelists
of the wonderful physical events that
accompanied the crucifixion. Astron
omical calculations prove, without a
shadow of doubt, that on the 14th
day of the Jewish month, Nisan,
(April 6), there was a total eclipse of
the sun, which was accompanied in all
probability by the earthquake, “when
the veil of the temple was rent from
the top to the bottom, and the earth
did quake, and the rock rent.” (Mat
thew xxxii, 51). Y/hile St. Luke de
scribes the eclipse in these words :—
And it was the sixth hour, (12 noon),
and there was a darkness over all the
land till the ninth hour, (3 o’clock p.
m), and the sun was darkened.” (Luke
xxii, 44).
This mode of reckoning corresponds
perfectly with the result of another
calculation our author made by reck
oning backward from the great eclipse
of April 1318, allowing for the ditfer-
ence between the old and new styles,
which also give April 6 as the date of
the new moon in the year A. D. 31.—
As the vernal equinox of the year fell
on March 25, and the Jews ate their
Fassoh,' or’ reaSu Gi Vmi
the following new moon, it is clear
April 6 was identified with Nisan 14,
of the Jewish calendar, which, more
over, was on Friday, the Paraskecce.
or day of preparation for the Sabbath,
and this agrees with the Hebrew Tal
mud. Titus, by the united testimony
of astronomy, archaaeology, traditional
ami Biblical history, there can be but
little doubt that the date of the cru
cifixion was April 6, A. D. 31.
THE AI.HA.HBBA.
The city of Granada, in Andalusia,
the most southern province of Spain,
was built in the tenth century, by the
Moors ; and in 1235, after having pre
viously belonging to the kingdom of
Cordova, it became the capital of a
new empire. All the houses were sup
plied with running water, and in every
street, through the munificence of suc
cessive sovereigns, there were copious
fountains for public convenience, and
for the performance of religious ablu
tions. In short, it is added, whatever
could tend to promote convenience
and comfort was to be found in Gran
ada. But Granada was not only noteff
for its pleasantness, its comforts, its
abundance, and the glories of its archi
tecture, but as the principal seat of
Arabian learning, art, and science. Its
library was highly celebrated, and the
names and works are on record of 120

Gadders and Visitants.—We are
willing to barter our good time with a
friend, who gives us in exchange his
own. Herein is the distinction be
tween the genuiue guest and the visi
tant. This latter takes your good
time, and gives you his bad in ex
change. The guest is domestic to you
as your good cat or household bird ;
the visitant is your fly, that flaps in at
your window, and out again, leaving
nothing but a sense of disturbance,
and victuals spoiled. Visitants al
ways show their genius, in knocking
the moment you have just sat down
to a book. They have a peculiar
compassionate sneer, with which they
“hope that they do not interrupt your
studies.” Though they flutter off the
next moment, to carry their imp rti-
nences to the nearest student that
they can call their friend, the tone of
the book is spoiled ; we shut the
leaves, aud with Dante’s lovers, read
no more that day. It were well if the
effect of intrusion were simply coex
tensive with its presence ; but it mars
all the good hours afterward. These
scratches in appearance leave an ori
fice that closes not hastily. “It is a
prostitution of the bravery of friend
ship,” says worthy Bishop Taylor, “to
spend it upon impertinent people, who
are, it may be loads to tlieii families,
but can never ease my loads.” This
is the secret of their gaddings, their
visits, .and morning calls. They too
have homes, which are—no homes.
How touching is this tribute of Hon.
T. II. Benton, to his mother’s influ
ence : “My mother asked me never
to use tobacco ; I have never touch
ed it from that time to the present
day. She asked me never to gamble,
and I have never gambled ; I cannot
tell who is losing in games that are be
ing played. She admonished me, too,
against hard drinking; and whatever
capacity for endurance I have at pres
ent, and whatever usefulness I have
attained through life, I have atiribu-
ted to having complied with her pious
and correct wishes. When I was sev
en years of age she asked me not to
drink, aud then I made a resolution of
total abstinence; and that I have ad
hered to it through all time, 1 owe to
my mother.”

The Art of Not Hearing.—The
art of not hearing is fully as impor
tant to domestic happiness as a culti
vated ear, for which so much time and
money is expended. There are so ma
ny things which is painful to hear,
many of which, if heard, will disturb
the temper and detract from content
ment and happiness, that every one
should be educated to take in or shut
out sounds at will. If a man falls in
to a violent passion and calls me all
manner of names, the first word shuts
my ears, and I hear no more. If in
my quiet voyage of life I am caught
Ol SUVIUlUg'f X OlluV • is j - Vnv* scrj Vato V* OUIIVM
would furl his sail, and, making all
tight, scud before the gale. If a hot
and restless man begins to inflame my
feelings, I consider what mischief
these sparks might do in the magazine
below, where my temper is kept, and
iustantly close the door. Does a gad
ding, mischief-making fellow begin to
inform me what people are saying
about me, down drops the portcullis
of my ear, and he cannot get in any
farther. Some people feel very anx
ious to hear everything that will vex
or annoy them, they set about search
ing and finding it out. If all the pet
ty things said of one by the heedless
or illnatured idlers were to be brought
home to him, he would become a mere
walking pincushion, stuck full of sharp
remarks. I should as soon thank a
man for emptying on my head a bush
el of nettles, or setting loose a swarm
of mosquitoes in my chamber, or rais
ing a pungent dust in my house gen
erally, as to bring upon me all the tat
tle of spiteful people. If you would
be happy when among good men open
your ears ; when amoug bad, shut
them. It is not worth while to hear
what your servants say when they
have slammed the door ; what a beg
gar says whose petition you have re
jected ; what your neighbors say about
your children ; what your rivals say
about your business or dress. I have
noticed that a well-bred woman never
bears an impertinent remark, A kind
of discreet deafness saves one from
many insults, from much blaine, from
not a little apparent connivance in dis
honorable conversation.
Girls.—It is in the power of young^
girls to make themselves very dear and
very useful to their married friends,
and to render them such services as are
beyond all price. In times of sick
ness and of sorrow, the sympathy and
presence of a beloved female friend
are among the best of heaven’s gifts ;
while she who ministers to the afflic
ted, is as much blessed as blessing.—
Let no young person stay away from
a friend who is ill or in affliction, from
the fear that her inexperience will
render her company undesirable ; all
who have strong affections, and a
ready power of sympathy, can make
themselves acceptable, and, endeavor
ing to do so, will increase their own
happiness. Never let mere conven
ience iqjluce you to stay at the houses
of persons whom you cannot esteem ;
by so doing, you bring on yourself an
irksome obligation : you take on your
self the duties of a friend, without
having the sentiments that would
make their discharge easy.
John Quincy Adams puts it well.—
He says :
“The present Administration is do
ing more to permanently disunite the
States than Jefferson Davis ever did ;
it’s chief, we are told, can conceive of
no means of free government but mil
itary force, and no motive of public ac
tion but private profit.”

Da vrn \\J T O—1 _
IIow to Get Out of Bed.—Dr.
Hall does not approve of the old-fash
ioned doctrine which was in
stilled into the minds of children—
namely, that they should spring out of
bed the instant they awoke in the
morning. He says that “up to eigh
teen years every child should be allow-
ep ten hours to be in bed. They may
not require ten hours sleep, but time
should be allowed to rest in bed, until
they fee! as if they had rather get up
than not. It is a very great and mis
chievous mistake for persons, old or
young, especially children, and feeble
or sedentary persons, to bounce out of
bed the moment they wake up ; all
our instincts shrink from it, and fierce
ly kick against it. Fifteen or twenty
minutes spent in gradually waking up,
after the eyes are opened, and in turn
ing over and stretching the limbs, do
as much good as sound sleep, because
these operations set the blood in mo
tion by degrees tending to equalize
the circulation ; for during sleep the
blood tends to stagnation, the heart
beats feebly and slow ; and to shock
the system by bouncing up in an in
stant and sending the blood in over
powering quantities to the heart,
causing it to assume a gallop, when
the instant before it was in a creep, is
the greatest absurdity. This instan
taneous bouucing out of bed as soon as
the eyes are opened will be followed
by weariness long before noon.”
The Pyramids.—Col. James, in a
recent lecture on the pyramids of
Egypt, stated that in the King’* Cham
ber, inside the pyramid, some of the
stones were thirty feet long. These
stones, weighing some ninety tons,
were not fonnd in Egypt at all, but
were brought down the Nile, a dis
tance of five hundred miles, and then
placed in their present position, one
hundred feet above the level of the
ground. In regard to their finish,
these Syenite stones are among tbe
hardest known ; and yet they are
so exquisitely polished, and built
ia to lorm a casing for the King’s
Chamber with such superior skill,
quence is excess and a similar state of
offairs which would follow were a
horse fed on corn and fodder to be turn
ed into a clover or pea field.—Fanner
and Gardener.

Lumber'.—The demand for our
Southern yellow pine lumber has in
creased ten-fold since the war. It is
taking the place of the eastern spruce
and white pine. Most of this pine is
shipped from Pensacola, Apalachicola,
and Darien, Georgia. Wherever great
strength is required, as in ships, facto
ry girders, railroad cars, and bridges,
this pine is invaijable. The Southern
forests have diminished very little,
owing to the growth of young trees.
The New York lumber merchants
have large orders at thirty-five dollars
per 1,090 feet.
U uucr duo
Eldora Ledger says : “ There is no ta
ble in the census blanks set forth to
show how many “great men in pub
lic life have reached eminence and
wealth through the potentiality of the
pen editorial. It would be rendering
to Caesar, if honorable mention could
be made of the obscure country edi
tors, who have used their ink to build
up the town, their brains to elevate
some insignificant country merchant,
or first-class demagogue to seats in the
Legislature or places in Congress. The
press of Iowa is responsible for boast
ing up more human frauds into high
places than its conductors think. No
more thankless occupation is known
than that of the partisan editor, who
in many cases has to eat dirt and go
naked ; toil hard to keep the hands of
an uncircumcised sheriff from his office ;
who steps into the breach when char
acter is to be lost, and contumely
won; who is continually at work to
make popular men and prominent can
didates out of certain pismires, which
abound in all neighborhoods. Per
haps they never thank him for his
pains, and certainly never remunerate
him for the ink with which lie extols
their honesty, talent and patriotism;
and every week describes their imagin
ary attributes of virtue, temperance
and truth. Despite the fusilade of
abuse from a dozen cowardly and jeal
ous cotemporaries, he survives. By
his trouble and favor these creatures
are “ honorable men.” He is button
holed by twenty of his patrons, who
insist upon the pledges that they shall
have his support for au office. They
appeal to him by ties of party and
consanguinity, and when he falieritigly
declares that he cannot support them
all at that time, each threatens him
with a new? paper, also to stop their
subscriptions, withdraw their adver
tisements: and abuse the poor fellow
like a very drab. He has spent his
time, his money, and his good name to
place these men in position. His
pearls were cast before swine which
turn and rend him. These men all
grow in popularity and riches. In
purse the Editor is poorer than when
noble, self-sacrificing creatures, and
his cares have increased a hundred
foid. And these long, windy, worth
less speeches, which he published dis
gusting his readers, and lost for him
many paying subscribers.”
