A Ylslon of the Past.
i
Upon a high, and craggy steep,
I look my sad, and watchful aland,
And saw the rapid rivers sweep,
Across our bioad and fertilo laud.
1 saw our ships at anchor ride,
Within our harbors safe and deep,
And gazed around with honest pride,
And turned away my head?to weep.
11
For erushed, and low in dust, we lay
Coat down, by war's disastrous fate ;
Th? daw uincr lit" pfirh now linni tl?v I
Still fluds us objects of their hate.
In agony of soul 1 cried,
Oh I will nty country e'er be free ?
Was ahe by years of bloodshed tried,
This ruined, cast down thing to be
in.
And then from Heaven 1 heard a voice,
That bade u?e dry my bitter tears,
And weep no more, but to rejoice
And bauish all my anxious fears,
For I have seeu your nation's woes,"
It said, ,4And heard your bitter cry,
Tou yet shall triumph o'er your foes,
For heroes never vainly die."
IV.
"Pear in my sight, has been the blood
Your heroes shed upon the field,
Who struggled, perished, where they stood,
Ere to the focuian they would yield;
Put I will graut you now a sign.
That you may knuw that this is true,
That you may cheer your sinking mind,
And bid your uuxious cares adieu."
v.
A solemn shade before mo passed,
He form, and aspect were not new ;
A Inrtb mmn it rtl.iMr I .t
And Stonewall Jackson's face I knew,
Had joined in baud, another ghost,
Walked at his side ; my sight grew dim,
My mind with stniugc emotions tost,
For Washington, 1 knew him.
VI.
Johnston and Putnam, passed along,
I saw their forms of shadowy air ;
Pulaski came to swell the throng,
With Stuart, Ashhy. Morgan there ;
PeKalb approached, McCulloch too.
And Cleburne passed 111c slowly by,
And Mcintosh and Allen true.
With Polk, who did not fear to die.
* VII.
Hayne, too, passed by, and Mutnford passed,
And Hale and Jackson passed with Wright,
And Jasper loo?he was the last
Who passed me, in those forms of light ;
They faded dimly on the air,
And passed away from mortal eye,
And long in meditation there,
1 stood till stars illumed the sky.

Not so Green after All.
A chap from the rural districts recently
stepped into a music store in the city ot
Providence; and after quietly taking a fifteen
minutes' survey of the contents, he
stepped up to the counter and asked the
clerk if he had any new music," bran ucw,
jest cout,"
The clerk measured him with his eye
for a moment; and then thinking lie was
ignorant as to new music, and that anything
would be fresh to his customer that
had been issued since the days of " Rosin
the Bow" and "Lord Bateuiau," decided
to palm off some old pieces which had become
a drug upon the counter. So he took
the " Last lio?e of Summer," and said :
u Yes, here is a new piece, that goes
with a perfect rush; and here is "The Old
Arm Cnair," another favorite; and here is
WVlAn tllio Prnnl Wow la i
.. .. ?aw V.?W *' "I v^vva,
is another rage all over the city."
"That will dew," roplieil Jonathan;
" how much dew you ask for the lot ?"
" One dollar," replied the clerk.
" Waal, you may dew'm up in a piece of
paper and lay them on the shelf.''
The clerk obeyed ; but Jonathan did not
pay for tho lot.
" I aui going down town a piece," he
said; " and if I come back I will pay for
that music, and take it; but if I do not
oome back, you may light your pipe with
the "Last Rose of Summer," sit in "The
Old Arm Chair," aud wait till this" Cruel
War is Over."
Jonathan sailed out of the door, and the
clork looked as if he had been " sold."
Recipes.?We present the following

A gentleman in Lowell, who uses hi* i
vest pocket as a receptacle lor tobacco, tilled
his pipe one morning last week, from i
the stock on hanJ,vihd sauntered down the
street. After going a short distance, his
pipe was suddenly blown from his mouth .
in fragment', and his face and eyes burnt.
It appeared that in the same pocket ho had
deposited a revolver charge, and, in a lit ,
of absent-mindedness had put it iuto his
pipe with his tobacoo. His injuries, lor- j
tunately, were slight. One or moro passersby
were also slightly injured by fragments
o! tho pipe.
A learned young lady ustonished a company
by asking for the loan of a "dimuuifcive
argentifforous truncated cone, convex
en its summit, and scmipcrforatcd with 1
symmetrical indentations." She wanted a I
thimble.
Little throe year old Jennie was playing
very roughly with the kitten, carrying it
bv the tail. Ilcr mother told her that she
would hurt pussy. "Why, m I won't,"
said she,' I'm carrying it f>y tire handle !"

Mexico, February Oth, I860.
OrricE Colz'tion, 13 San J can i>c Letran,
Mexico, February 10, 1800. \
The offer of Mr. Torres is most princely.
The laud is situated in the lluastecn country,
on the mountain border of the lierra culiente.
It is said to he healthy, nuit is admirably adapted
to the cultivation of coffee, sugar, cotton,
tohacco, with the whole list of intertropical
fruits and productions. It is also a good
stock country, with an ubtuidance of timber.
The Patiuco River is navigable up to it, and
boats are running on that stream. Provisions
are plenty, but labor is said not to he very
abundant, the usual price being 371 cents per
day and found.
Those who come from any of the Gulf ports,
should take shipping direct forTainpico. tak.ng
cave not to come luter than the first or middle
of May. on account of the rainy season, winch
commences in dice. Emigrants are advised to
send out their pioneers to examine the land,
select their homesteads, and make ready for
their families to follow.
The Collector of the Port of Tampico is authorized
to afford them a'.l the facilities, privileges
and rights granted by the Emperor's
decree. M P. MAURY,

Tuk Richmond Stkcix.?At iho finic of the
eVHCuatiou of Hichiuoud tlie bunking establishments
of that city continued to send away the
amount of coin belonging to the different institutions
to a point further South for the purpose
of securing it. The amount originally
reached the sum of $2o0,00tJ, of which fl50,
000 was lost by plunder, and the remainder
placed on deposit at Washington, Georgia, in
charge of a special agent of the Richmond
banks, who owing to the unsettled condition of
affairs, was unable to get back to Richmond,
and waa therefore compelled to remain there
eome.itne.
While this coin was at Washington, Georgia,
claim was made to it by General Wild, of the
Kreeduieu's l'urcuu. on the ground that it was
captured property, and an investigation of tlie
case by General Winslow resulted in giving the
right of possession to the ageut of the hanks.
Afterward, about the 20th of August last, an
order from the President, through the Secretary
of War, was. received by Geucral Steedman,
then commanding the department, to turn over
the captured coin on deposit to a Treasury
agent- This was done, and the coin scut to
this city, when it wns placed on special deposit
with the Treasurer of the United States.
Claim i* now made on behalf of the Richmond
banks for the restoration of this money,
and it is alleged that the order of the President
was made without full and careful information
of the facts in tlie case.
After a full and careful examination by the
Treasury Department, the matter lias been referred
to the President, who has ordered that
the coin be rcstoied, provided the identity be
tween ine amount now on deposit in tnc Treasury
and that claimed by the hanks can he established,
and a compliance made with certain
formal condi. ions required by the Secretary of
the Treasury.

Con. liutlcr's refusal to attend the re
cq.tion of General Grant's has given rise
to a variety of comments; the Philadelphia
Age closes its article on tlio subject
with the very unkind remark (italics and
all) : ' It saved Mrs. Grant the anxiety
of watching her plate while the Imp was
present, and the labor of counting her
spoons utter h< hod Ir/'t."
Three things only are essential to happiness,
namely?something to do ; something
to love ; something to hope for.
