Wise delivered an address in be half of the orphans of Confederate sol. diers, and it is pro6f.that he has not for. gotten how'to t4lk., lie spoke thus: 0I ashes of men,,. and. ashes of houses of Richmond I - People of Boston and New York,. unsolicited, hAve contribu ted a mite, at least, to feed the orphans of your sons who fell in your defense, and these orphans have, for month"y been drawing their daily bread from the commissariat of our invaders and con querors I Cannot you do - sometihlig more than you have done for orphan -children, the fithers of some of whom bled and died for you and,yours-your laws, your liberties, and (what seems mqst precious now-a-days) your "prop erty," your "gold," which you hold so fast, yet pend so. vainry. Mr WVise. tius discoursed of the bravery of Confederate soldiers: The nobleot bands of men who ever fought, or' wtp ever fell in the annais of war, whose glorious deeds history ever took pen to record, were, I exultingly claim, the private soldiers in the armies of the great Confederate cause. Wheth. er right or wrong in the cause which they espoused, they were earnest and honest patriots in their convictians, w.ho thought that they w.ere right to defend their o.vn, their native land, its soil, its altars and its - honors. They felt thae they were no rebels and no - traitors In obeying their State sovereignties, 'and they thought it was lawful to take- u'p arms under their mandates, autiorized expressly by the Federal Constitution to repel invasion .or to suppress insurrec tion. when there was such "imsinent danger as not to admit of d%lay." The only re4son for tlit delay 'which could have been denanoed of them was to have appealed to the invaders them. setes for defense. against their own in vasion;-an'd whether there w;s.immi nent danger or not,'eyent hive proved. They hav6 been- invad(d . uAtil 'every blade of grass il.aa been .trodden down until every .iancytary pf temple, sanA. *fane, and digar and home hasn pro. faned.' The most of these men' had, no *saiwdi imansions 'for their -homes; ho slaleves to plough and"-plant any broad $lelds of othJers; no stooks or investmerits ~in intesest-bearing. funds. ,They were 1poor, but proudly patriotic and indomita bybrave, - Their eountry was their ~onlyr heritage.' Tbe mother. snd wiv.4 and dauhtrs ~buckled on the b'elts attdsent hubad and son, and brothers forthy anderomen tolled 'for the ibuead sand spun' the rai. ,Ptite of "hitti. nes'1 of shant$ lomes in .cotr, o of ~s in towns while their ichavnylesopf 4e1 prg lk their Oouu. try's oasps 'fmnae ; or trenoheer or ,b#eil' byA fully follwsd-lead ,ers wL klnwe 4~ Jinoored and porO Ior Aoitc s mepft .:nrlen ger, nor wounds, nor death could im. pair their constancy I They fought with a devotion, confidence. and courage which was unconquerabto, save by star vation, blockade, overwhelming num bers, loreign dupes and mercenaries. YankeeHnm, niggerdom and death ! Prodigies of valor, iniracles of victo ries, undoubted and undoubtiug devo tion, and endurance to the last, entitled them to honors of surrender, which glid. ed the arms of their victors and extorted. from them cheers on the battle field where at last they yielded peace I Alaf'l ow many thousands had fallen before their few surviving comrades laid down their arms. Of these meif of the. ranks their beloved lender, General R. E. Lee, said to me. during the laist winter on the lines: "Sir, the men of this war who will deserve the most honor and grati tudo are not the men of rank, but the inen of the ranks-the privates." After telling what hte had seen them do in battle, he addea: And-I fiaie seen them fire their last' voll&s-at, Appomattox; and often in the marches, on picket in The trenches, in camps and in chaRges, I have seen then' sad and almost snk, but I nevtr saw their tearf.until their beloved Comman, der-in,Chief ordered them 'to surrender their arms. Then they wept, and many of them broke thbir trusty weapons, the blssedana ever glorions'dead were not there to surrender,- and they are not here to.defand their memories fron the taint ot the reproach of rebellion and treason. Alas I I am alive and here, and an bound, at every. hazard, to declare that tise men were io rebels and no trai.. tore. Let whoever will swear that they were rebels and traitors, I will contra. diet the oath, and app.eal to God on the Holy of Holies'as high' as' Heaven's throne, and swear tha't'thy were pure patriots, loyal citizens, well tried and true - soldiers, brave, liones. devoted men, who proved}heir faith in their grin. ciples by the deatls 1ch canonisel their. immortal heroes and martyrs I No one.phall inscribe the epitaphs of rebellion and treasori upon the tombs of their dead, without oy burning protest being uttered against the foul -and false profanation. And if any wounds of the ivingare labelled with rebellion an,d trea son, I would tear away - the infamy, though the wounds should bleed unto death. If I suffer their names to be diq. honored and their glory to be tarnished, and don't gain iktbe reproach, may Mly tongue cleave t e roof of my mouth; and if I sufDr their orphans to be out casts for the want of sympathy, warmly unspoken nd ,mdre warmly felt, may my right iand forget ito cunning. Alas! in these times it haq .Uo cunning, for it has nocoins I I too am a bogger. I ran b6g, then, and do b$g like a Belisa. rus, for them. .Pleasd. give them bne oboias! . 11ave you a crumb to spare? Divide it with them. I implore, give them some of your abundanee ! Their enemies who elow their faihers, honor them enough tooeed their poor orphans ! They 'von't hurt 'you for daring tQ do 4eeds qf.'charity. Many of them are -brave men, and the* brave ars always generous to-the brave.

D.AWARE iw CASC.-Some year ago, in Newcastle county, Delaware, an Irishman was knocked down - and rob bad. He accused a man of having corn mitted the robbery, and in due time tit case cane to trial. The Irishman being upon the stand, was cross-examined. af ter sworn positively to the guilt of thi prisontr, by one ot the keenest lawyers and something like the following gai the result: "You say the prisoner ht tile bar is the man who 'assaulted and robbec vol ?" "Yes." ,'Was it moonlight when the occur. rence took place ?" "Divil a'bit ov it 1" "Wals it starlight ?" "Not a whit ; it was so dark that you could not see your hand before you." "Was there any light shining fronu any house ntear bly ?" "Divil a bit iv a house was, there anywhere about." - "Well, if there was no moon, stars, nor light frofto any house, and so dirlk that you could not see your hand before you, how are you able to swear that the prisoner was the 'man ? How could you see him ?" "Why, year honor, when the apAl. peen struck me, the fire flew out of my eyes so bright you might have seen to pick up a pn, you might.

A TEnmnirn ADVENTUnE IN THE NAOAnA Riim.-Last Saturday after. 11oon1, a very large quantity of ice passed down the Niagara river from Lake Erie, suspending the trips of the ferry boat which plies between Black Rock and Fort Erie. William *A Thomp son, Vice-President of tlhe new Erie and Niagara railroad, was on the Canadian side, and attempted to return with a man and a boy. They had nearly reach ed the American shore, when the ice crowded round and they were caught by it vnd wedged fast ; they could neither go on nor return.. The side of the boat were crushed, and it btgnn to fill rapidly. The three leaped upon the nearest cake of ice and drew the boat partly upon it. -. Mr, Thompson then began to bail out the boat with his cap, but the ice came again upon them and they had just time to spring into the half-fifled boat when the sheet on which they had been stind. ing was crushed by another. The boat was struck, and capsiZdd,' and both the men thrown Ninto the water. The .boy lepped on an ice-cake.. Mr. Thompon sank, rose, clutched the boat, Ind climb ed upon its keel, The other man sank and drowned. - The boat was .again struck and'upset ; he sank and rose again ; chitched the boat and climbed into its stem, where he sat in water up to his chin. It was now dark. A cake of ice drifted against the, boat ; he .put out his hand to ward it off, and finding it to be several inches thick, crawled upon it. But not knowing the size of the ice-rAft, lie dared riot move it. He called to tho boy whom he could hear in loud prayer, and found that he was still q1loat on his bit of.ice.. It was a bitter night. A storm of sleet was falling, driven by keen north winds, and f6-eezing as it fell. All he could do for three mortal hours in that darkness, stir.m and extvrmo peril was ry for .halp. He .was-h.aZd. .J.1 the vicinty of Lower Black Rock, there was an answer from the shore. but no help. The'mani who answered said lie was without oars and could qo nothing They still drifted on between Grand Is. land and the Anerican shore till they nad passed Tonawonda find were pass ing the last houses 'upon Siffer Shore whence help could come.' They had reached. the very last when their shouts wpre heard and lights were seen mov. ing from house to house. Tie neigh bore were gathering, &There was the gleam of a lantern upM the'river'and they knew that boats were coming. - When they were reached, Mi.Thonp. son had. to be rolled into .the boatJike a log.
