IV. Children of 14 years of age

are otherwise, from anv cause, unfit

VI. The experience of many year
have shown the expediency and wis

guarded system of apprenticeship ; it
has also demonstrated the necessity for
the sake of individuals, and to provide
for the peace and welfare of society,
of confiding the care and education
of children, to such persons only as
•ire fitted to the task.
Officers and Agents of the Bureau
are, therefore, directed to scrutinize,
with great care, the character and rep

children hound out to them, and will,
in all cases, withhold their consent,
unless satisfied by reasonable proof,
that the parties are not of the class
referred to in Par. V.

His last words were: “Put inn out of
sight,’’ and it. is said that he was con-*
stanily muttering, toward his latter
end, those fines of Pope :
1 “Let. me live unseen, untcown.
And tmlamented let me die.
Nor mound, nor monument, nor stone.
Tell where I lie. ’
His death was quiet and painless, i
after a year of acute physical and
I mental suffering, lie was never weal
i thy, and it is understood that be left
his family without an independence.
The time has come when the cir
onmstaces of his last illnes and death,
with the occasion which suddenly con
vulsed a lrame from perfect, health in
to a wreck, and mere shaddow, may
be mentioned as a historical fact.—
William L. Yancey came to his end by
■ violence. It was toward the clt se of
the second session es the first, Confed
erate Congress, that he broke from the
counsels and influence of Mr. Davis,
and became, with Mr. Henry S. Fuote,
a leader of the opposition. Mr. Ben.
Hill, a senator from Georgia, had like
wise charged his front, and was remar
kable for the earnestness, personal in
terest and persistency with which he
sustained the measures of an admmiso
traf.ion to which his allegiance had
been given but late in the day. Air.
Yancey, it will he remembered, had
i returned from an unsuccessful mission
i to Europe, and was representing Ala**
.1 bama in the Confederate Senate.
’ The question of a natty was under
1 discussion in secret session Plie de*.
