He had a sister, whr was a child too, and his constant companion These two used to wonder all day long. They wondered at the beauty of flowers; they wondered at the height and depth of t“e bright water; they wondered at the goodness and power of God, who made tho lovely world. They used to say' to one another sometimes, ‘(Supposing all the chil dren on the earth where to dia would the flowers, and the water and the sky be sorry ?’ They believed they would be sorry. For said they, the buds are tho children of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hillsides are the ehilldren of the water; and the smallest bright spec s playing at hide and seelqin sky all night must surely be the children of the stars ; and they would bo all grieved to see their playmeate, the children of men no more. There was one clear star that used to come out in the s y before the rest, near the church spire, about the graves. It was larger and more beau tiiul, they thought, than all the others and every night they watched lor it, standing hand in hand at the window. Whoever saw it first cried out both together, knowing so well when it would rise, and where. So they grew to be such friends with it that before lying down in their beds they. looked out onep again to bid it good-night; and when they wore turning round to sleep they would say, ‘God bless the star!’ But while 6he was still young, oil, verv, very young, the sister drooped, and came to be so weak that she could no longer stand in tho window at night and then the child looked sadly out by himself, and when he saw tho star, turned round to the patient., pale face on the bod : ‘I see the star !’ and then a smile would come upon his face, and a little, weak voice used to say : ‘Uod bless my brother and the star !’ And so the tiuio came all too soon, when the child looked out aloue, and when there was no face on the bed ; and when there was a little grave among tho graves, not there before; and w'hen the star made long rays 1 down towards him, as he saw it through his tears. i Now, these rays were bright, and 1 they seemed to make such a beautiful 1 shining way lrom earth to heaven that, I when the child went to his solitary ! foe dreamed about the star; and | dreamed that, lying where ho was, he 1 S aw a train of people taken up that shining road by angels. And the star opening, showed him a great world of light, where many more such angels ’ waited to receive them. Aud those angels who were waiting turned theii beaming eyes upon t)»e people who were earned up into the star; and some came out from the long rows in which they stood and fell upon the people’s necks and kissed them tenderly, and went away with them down avenues of light, and were so happy in their company that, lying in the bed, he wept for joy But there were many angels who did not go with them, and among them one he knew. The patient face that had once lain upon the bed was glorified and radiant, but his heart iound out his sister among all the host. , TTifl sister’s angel lingered near the entrance of the star, and said to the leader among those who had brought the people thither— ‘ls my brother como ?’ And he said, ‘No.’ She was turning hop* fully away when the child stretched out his arms and said— ‘Oh, sister, I am here ! Take me !’ And then she turned her beaming eyes upon him, and it was night; and the star was shining into his room, making long rays down towards him as he saw it through his tear. From that hour forth the child looked out upon the star as on the home he was to go to, when his time should come, ana he thought ho did not belong to earth alone, but to the star, too, because of his sister’s angel gone before. There was a baby born to be a brother to the child; and while he was so little that he had never yet spoken a word, he stretched his tiny form out on the bod aud died. Again the child dreamed of the opened star, and of the compauy of angels, and the train of people ; and all the rows of angels with their beam ing eyes all turned upon those people’s faces. Said his sister’s angel to the leader: ‘ls" my brother come ?’ And he said, ‘Not that one, but an other.’ As the child beheld his brother’s angel in her arms, he cried, Oh, sister. I am here !—Take me!’ And she turne 1 and smiled upon him, and the star was shining. He grew to be a young man, and was busy at his book when an old ser vant came to him and said : ‘Thy mother is no more. I bring her blessing on her darling son.’ Again at night he saw the star, and ull that former company. Said his sister’s angel to the leader : ‘ls my brother come ?’ And he said . ‘Thy mother ’ A mighty cry of joy went forth through all the stars because the mother was reunited to her two chil dren. And he stretched out his arms and cried! ‘Oh, mothor, sister and brother, I am here ! Take me !’ And they answered: ‘Not yet,’ and the star was shining. He grew to be a man whose hair was turning gray, and he was sitting in his chair by the fireside, heavy with grief, and with his face bedewed with tears, when the st ir opened once again. Said his sister’s angel to the leader, ‘ls my brother come i" And he said, ‘Nay, but his maiden daughter.’ And the man who had been a child saw his daughter, newly lost to him, a celestial creature among those throe, and he said, ‘My daughter’s head is on my mother’s bosom, and her arm is around my mother’s nock, and at her feet there is the baby of old time, aud I can hear the parting from her, God be praised !’ And the stat was shining. Thus the child came to be an old man, nnd his once smooth face was wrinkled, and his steps slow and fee ble, and his back bent. And one night as he lay upon his bed, his children standing around him, ho cried as he had cried so long ago : ‘I see tho star !’ They whispered to one another* ‘He is dying.’ Aud he said, I am. My age is fall ing from me like a garment, and I move toward the star as a child. And 0, my Father, now 1 thank Thee that it has so often opened to receive those who await me!’ And tho star was shining; and it shines upon his grave. A Noble Virginia. Boy. The Atlanta Era says: “We copy the following tribute to principle from the grand Army Journal, a Republi can paper: A slii' ing example of conscientious rectitude was that exlubited by young Alexander, the Virginia boy lately ap pointed to a cadetship at the Naval Academy, but who refused to qualify by taking the iron-clad oath, because he could not take that oath, as he be lieved, without “base peijury.” The facts and circumstances of the case are stated as follows : A youth named Balwin Alexander, from Pulaski county, Virginia, was appointed a cadet at the Naval Acad emy by the non. Mr. Gibson, of tho Eighth District of Virginia. Alexan der, who is not yet 17 years of age, underwent a thorough examination, and passed at every point. He made a iavorablo impression upon the board of examiners, as well as the Secretary of the Navy, and liis appointment was confirmed. But when tue ironclad or test oath was put to him he declined to take it, asserting that, although he was a mere child at the commence ment of the war, and but 12 years of age at its close, yet his associations, surroundings, &c., had created a sym pathy in his mind and heart for those around him, and to swear that he has not sympathized with or countenanced the rebellion would be baso perjury, and he could not do so. His honesty and candor elicited encomiums from the naval authorities, and Senator Johnson, of Virginia, took the matter in hand, and tried to have the youth admitted by his taking the proper con stitutional oath. The law on the sub ject, however, seems to be imperative, and the Secretary of the Navy to-day, (Saturday, J une 25,) informed Senator u ohnson that Alexander could not be admitted to tho Academy as a cade* unless ho subscribed to the iron-clad oath. It is proposed that Congress pass a special act to meet tho case of young Alexander. Certainly if such.amess- ure were justifiable in any case of this J kind, it would be in the present. Here is a boy who thinks for him self and is his own conscience-keeper. 1 A mere child at the outbreak, of and during the rebellion ; liis whole asso ciations formed amidst law-breakers; with the example bofore him of his el ders and those to whom he was accus tomed to look up as examples of in tegrity and honor, treating the most solemn oaths as a rope of sand; wit nessing his friends, relatives, neigh bors, one after the othor go into the war, fight through it against the coun try and como out, many of thorn, ready to hold up their hands and swear that they “never gave voluntary aid to tho rebellion and himself sympathizing, as was but natural for n boy of his age, with the cause of his parents and neighbors, this youth nevertheless ex hibits in his person a noble and unu sual exception to the class of men in tho South whose conduct during ami since the war has provod their plight ed faith a wicked lie, their boasted honor a miserable sham, aud their solemn oath-taking a horrible mock ery.^ Wo commond the high sonse of honor exhibited by this young Vir ginian as an example for the boys of America. This manly youth, reject- [ ing alike the counsels and the exam- | yle of the false teachers who surround ed him on all sides, followed the si lent promptings of his better nature and the dictates of his own good judg ment, interpreted by the simple rule of common sense. His conduct is ful ly up to the celebrated hatchet-and cherry-tree standard of tradition.— The boy Washington was not more noble than the boy Alexander. And could not some older Virgin ians, as well as other ehivalric and noble southerners, also profit from the example set by this rare youth ? Let those gentlemen, the possessors of j such r*maikably short memories and such very olastic consciences, overhaul their Bibles, and (as Captain Cuttlo would say) “when found, make a note on t.” (For the Journal.

Deboea aa Boons. Colton Culture.. With characteristic pertinacity, the English are urging and encouraging the culture of cotton in all- available places out of the United States. In India, where this policy cant be pur sued to the fullest extent, there has ' lately boon erected anew goveniment- I al department, nominally the depart ! rnent of agriculture, but really intend ed for cotton culture otfly, and hopes are entertained that by the operations of this bureau the limits of eotto» planting can be extended without trenching too seriously on. the acreage which the teeming population of Hin dostan requires to be sown iu grain. As subsidiary to this cotton effort, pains have been taken to stimulate the production of rheea, or Indian grass, which can bo cultivated where cotton cannot, and is considered of some value for making goods analo gous to the coarser cottons. The diffi culty heretofore has boon to separate' tho fibre from the stalk aud bark at a cost low enough to justify production,, and to obviate this a reward of £5,000* is offered by an order in council for s. machine competent to its cheap prop. nration. With these as about the main facts in connection with the fos t ‘ring of cotton and analogous staples in India, it may be mentioned that the facilities afforded by tho Suez Canal are building up an extended market in the ports of tho Mediterranean for such, staples, already a full half of the cotton coming through the canal stop ping there. How far the Egyptian field is showing a development does not now appear; but from a late Lon*, don telegram it seems that Brazil has been quietly putting forth strenuous efforts to rise into a cotton power. The Manchester supply association has just formally congratulated the Brazilian Minister on the production of his coun try ; and the probabilities are that if that if that empire, oppressed as it has been for a couple of seasons past, with the enormous requirements or tho Paraguayan war, has yet managed to increase its cotton yield so much as to evoke this special commendation, it will, now that the war is over and it can devote all its energies to' internal development, stimulate tho production of the staple into very notable propor tions. As intimated by us some time tinee, tlio Brazilian empire is really a wonderful government, ruled appa rently by statesmanship as eminent as that which distinguished Portugal in tho proudest days of its maritinft© ex cellence, and destined in all likelihood to become as eminent in fSouth Amer ica as the United Startles are' on- thin continent. Portugal was groat by rea'-' son of that daring spirit which sent • her navigators out to every sea known to the whole world, and Brazil has but to piwsue what seems her present policy—territorial expansion! coapletl with the development of her adapta bility to cotton —to become even a more considerable power ybart the mothor country in her prime, and the most flourishing domain ever ruled by tho house of Braganza. Contrasting what is doing iu India, Brazil, and probably Egypt, with the cotton policy of tho United States, there appears so much to our discredit that tho subject is painful to dwell on. While millions upon millknas are giv en in land or credit to “wild cat” rail roads iu tho West, wo do not recall one single extension of Congressional aid to those superbly fertile cotton lands in the Valley of the Mississippi. The cotton States there are unable to maintain tho levees as their impor tance requires, but the aid so larish- ly given elsewhere is denied here. Any pnl'.ry State of the far Wost with a few thousand voters, who grow less and less at each election, seems able to sway legislation in its favor; but those great and old established? com munities which have done sc much with their cotton crops to build up the republic are neglected as neither Eng land nor Brazil would have neglected them if under their governmental care. True these States have no rep resentatives conversant with their needs to speak for them; bnt there should be enough wisdom and liberality among Northern Congressmen to at once recognize and meet the claims of a region so important to the country at large. That this is not the ease, and our cotton culture is left without a tithe of the attention bestowed by other countries upon theirs, is not the least evidence of tire gross incompe toncy of the present administration of I this government.—rV.
