[Prom the National Intelligencer.} Cbaave* [The authorship of lite following poem is Worth inquiry. Our recollection le that we found it, several your* ago. in the Fredericksburg Hews, in which it was copied from sonu Baltim re paper, who?c editor introduced it With the Statement that the MS. was befor* him, without title, d ue or signature:] 9 We did not fear them once?the dull gray mornings XT _ _t 1..X.I . nu uuruvn uu uur wjjhujj hum t The long night-watches did uot bring us waru* ings That wo were tenants of a liouso decayed. The early snows liko dreams to us descend ; The Irost did fairy work on pave nnd hough; Beauty, and power, and wouder have not end ed? How is it that we fear the Winters now T There house fires full as bright on hearth and chamber; There Northern star-light sliiucs as coldly clear; The woods Mill keep their holly for December, The w?rld a welcome yet for the new year. And tar away, in old remembered places, The snow-drop rises and the robin sitig-; The suu and moon look out with loving faces? Why havo out duys forgot such goodly things? Is it that now the Xovth wind fiuds us shaken By tempests fiercer than its hitter blast, Which fair beliefs and friendship, too, have taken Away liko Summer foliage as they passed. And made lite leafless in its pleasnnt valleys, Waning the light of promise from our day, Till mists meet even in the inward palace? A dimness, not liko theirs, to pass away ! It was not thus when dreams of love nnd laurels Gave sunshine to the Winters of our youth ; Before its hopes had fallen in fortune's quarrels, Or Time hnd bowed them with his heavy truth; Ere yet the twilight found us strange -;?d lonely. With shadows coming when the firo burns low, To tell of distant graves and losses o*ly? The past that cannot change and will not go^ Alas ! dear friends, the Winter is within us ; Hard is the ice that grows about the heart; For petty cares nnd vain regrets have won us From life's true heritage and bet'er part. Seasons and skies rejoice, yea, worship rather; But nations toil and tremble e'en as wo, Hoping for harvests they will never gather, Feaiing tin- Winters which they may not see. WIT ^Vl\'l> IIU3IOU.

I What musical sign does an oath from the lips of an effeminate fop put you in j mind of? A demme quaver. Mr. II. \\ ciaman recently married a I Miss Farthing He asked tor a farthing j and received assent. A lady froui the country was made sea sick by witnessing one ol the storm scenes at the Boston M uscuni. Lip service is considered discreditable 1 to a Christian, Init it is a delightful thing between two lovers A Yankee has just taught ducks to swim j in hot water unit such auucc-s (hut tlrvy lay boiled eggs. We love ourselves m {withstanding our faults, und ? ught to love our iiicnds in like manner. Why do the recriminations of roorrie 1 people resemble the s? und ol waves on the eh ore ? I3ecuu.se lltey arc tuurtnera of the tied. A printer who became a physician gave [ ae a reason tor the change, that in printing all the faults arc exposed to the i ye; iu physic, they arc I uried with the patient. A smart young clerk, hearing it stated that "man is merely a machine," said? j "Then I suppose a lawyer may be sa d to be a suing machine." Josh Billing.-, says there is nothing more touching in this life than to sera poor but | virtuous young man struggling with a moustache. " Father," said an ambitious youngster, about the size of a pepper box, "I can do without shoes, hut 1 um suffering lor a UUMMII |>1 II " Hello, my jolly rebel, bow do you fool now, since the surrender ?" " Very much like Lazarus, Yank." "How's that?" "Like I was licked by dogs." Why was the giant (Joliuh very much astonished when l)avid hit him with a stone ? Such a thing bad never entered his head before. A very volatile young lord, whose conquests in the female world were numberless, at last married. " Now, my lord," said his wife, 44 1 hopo you will mend."? " Madam," said be, 44 this is my last folly." Speaking of the "undeveloped wealth of the country;" a loafer ruid that, was exacthis position ; he possessed vast resources? was veiy rieb ? but his wealth was undeveloped. ? IXorrlble Accident. A terrible accident recently occurred near Larimer's Station on the Pennsylvania Railroad, the particulars ot which are given by the ilarriaburg Telegraph : We learn that a stock and oil train, coming Lust, was detained on the track while sonic cars of a forward train were being shitted. The iront part of the train was composed of stock ears- next, were several open trucks containing barrels ot oil, and iu the rear ot these was a caboose, or emigrant car, in which were several drovers, owners of the live stock. While these men were seatu. .-d rroutid a red hot stove, a third train cauie thundering East ward on the same track. One ot the men happened to see the impending danger, and by aliin st superhuman efforts succeeded in breaking the fastenings of n window, and, with two cr three others escaped from the car as it was struck by the locomotive of the train No. ii. A terrible crash followed In an instant the caboose was a wreck ; the cars were laden vith oil flew in all di rcctions. Unfortunately one of the drovers, Mr. Edward Altbouso, of Reading, had not escaped before the collision took place and ho was literally covered with oil, and his clothing thoroughly saturated The oil took fire from the stove, aud instantaneously the poor man was covered with a sheet of flame. In this condition he managed to leave the wreck, and as ho walked on the ground the tire blazed several feet above his head, giving him the appearance of a moving barrel of oil. As soon as he was discovered, a number of persons conducted him to a creek near by, portions of his clothing dropping from his body as be moved, and by immersing him in the water the lire was extinguished. When taken from the stream Mr. Altbouso was entirely naked, and his body found to he hurned in a most shocking manner. Death soou released him from his sufferings. " Die in the Last Ditch."?In the days of the Confederacy we heard a great deal about "dying in the last uitch." It perhaps may interest your readers to know the origin of the expression. From a hook entitled, "The tireat lion Wheel Examined," by W. ti. Drovvnlow, of Knoxville, published in 1850, 1 make the following extract: ? C/mrtiston Actcs. 41 This is no time lor frank and patriotic tuen to remain neutral upon a subject alike affecting the interest of the Church and the country. I volunteer to show my hand unon this threat Question, not curim* i r- ? ' 7 r a dime whether it array the untire North against me or not. * * " 1 am not, and never have been, interested in the slave irathe, or immersed in the zares, advantages or disadvantages ol the institution of slavery, and therefore 1 claim io l>e a disinterested looker on. A native of Virginia, 1 have lived hall'a ecu tury in the South, and seen the workings of the institution of slavery in its best and worst tortus aud in all the Southern States. 1 hr.vc gene among the free negroes at the North, and in every instance 1 have found thctn more miserable and destitute, as a t whole, than the slave population at the ; South. In our Southern States, where j negroes have bet u set at liberty, in nine eases out of ten their conditions have been made wotsc; while the most wretched, lazy and dishonest class of persons to be loutiil in the Southern States are free persons of color. I. therefore tro against tlie emancipation of slavery altogether, unless they can be sent to Liberia at once. 1 take my stand with ,he friend* of the invitation ol slavery in the Snath una in deleave oft e right* ol the Si atli ('on? nee ted with this question, I will go as funs the next man?even dying in the last tliU h.'

A great many fools strut in a dignified way through life and get credit for wisdom < they arc far from possessing. In a rccita j tion room in a late school not u thousand 1 miles from Chicago, one of the professors, to test the ability of the student lie was examining, propounded this question : " Mr. ? ?, what do you think should be done with a utan who had committed suicide '(' The student was puzzled; lie rubbed his head a moment as it to brighten his ideas, and then responded : ? Well, it is my opinion as a professional man that ho ought to he inado to support the, child !*' A Bavarian Israei.it*, writing to the "/?raelite Inderd," has a statement upon the process of the restoration ot the Jews to Palestine, which is worthy of note. He says: The regathering of the Jews is now beginning to take place. Not only mAny single families emigrate to Palestine, but there hare been formed a number of societies in almost every land on this continent, to prepare an emigration on a large scale, provided with all noHHiblo mrnna mnnev imnlnmnnia or*?l ??*.! oi every kind, to coir.-nenco the cultivation of the long d?solat?d land, at ouce, with the utmoHt vigor There nre men of considerable wealth among thetn, and not one without some weans, enough at least to defray the expenses of a journey, and to purchase a plot of ground. I atn happy to stat that I am one of the leading members of a society forming here in Bavari ? which ntunbers already over nine hundred heads of families, besides a number of yottng people who would not form an alliance with the other sex, until settled in the Holy Land, upon the soil of tneir rightful heritage " He also adds: 'The Gentiles hereabout? that is, the Petty "German l'rwtentaut Kingdoms and the principalities?are even more astir about Palestine than the Jews." Tub Fashions.?The New Vork Tribune has the following concerning the spring modes: Suits will he worn this spring as much as ever. That is, dress, cloak and bonnet of the satno color, if not of the same muteriul. It is a quiet, ladylike and useful fashion, adapting one set of garments for the street, and preserving all others from its defilements. The short petticoats and looped frocks aro still the mode. For tho house almost all dresses arc cut gored. While hoops arc popular no other methods insures graceful folds to the drapery, and it is economical as well. Flounces nre again fashionable, one deep one being considered most stylish. Skirts in tunic form, very long behind, are much worn, and the prcmcditntod extravagance of double skirts threatens to be popular. Round waists are much more worn than points, the belt matching the trimming in hue. Fanciful jackuts for neglige, of velvet, silk, or alpacas, very jaunty and pretty, have the most secure hold on fashionable protection. Sleeves arc still very small, shaped at the elbow, aud permitting only the narrowest underslceve. Narrow collars, and deep cuffs in linen, and deeply pointed collars in lace are the rule. m ? ? m Tjif.

They both hciug preachers and member* of the same church, and entertaining, as he said he did, tin exalted opinion ot person* occupying their position; and fearing he would be compelled to doubt one, if not both of them, if he heard the case, he summoned three colored men of good standing in the church?Jacob Hnss, Frank 1 teal I and Toby Lamar ? who. after hearing the case, gave their opinion that the defendant wa* indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of six dollars W e attach importance to this item a* being the first verdict rendered by a colored jury in the Stale ot Georgia.?Auyutbi 7'ramcript, 'Sid.
