General Robeit ri Lee.
The following poem was written
by Captain Thos. F. Rocho, for
merly of Loring's command, A. N.
T., on the occasion of General Lee's
visit to Baltimore in behalf of the
Valley Rail Road. It speaks for
itself, and we venturo the asser
tion that thero is not a true man
nor woman in the South who, a(
tor reading it, will not say, "God
bloss thoo, Robert Lee:"
God bless thee, noble General I
God bless thee, Robert Lee I
Our Southern hearts throb warmly now,
Once more we dream we're free;
Once more our vivid fancy brings
Sweet memory's treasured store,
-And we tread dear Dixie's soil,
And fight our battle o'er;
u\gain we proudly, fondly rest
Our lives, our hopes on thee;
In thought, we grasp again out- swords,
R1colved to die with L,ee.
"Tis but dreaming, Uncle Robert i
Our banner loved is farlod,
And of our glorious struggle gone
Searce thinks a heedless world.
Our.hopes have gone-oar cause forgot,
Unsung our myriad dead:
And 1rom our bosoms yesterday
Hope's shadows e'en have fled;
Yet grnsping iow thy noble hand,
Old memories sweet of thee,
Arise utnd speed our bonison
God bless thee, Robert Lee 1
Tliy good gray head relentless time
Ilas silvered whiter now,
And pre,sed his wrlinkled signet on
Thy ioble, stainless brow ;
Thy formi he howed-yet dur.-t not steel
The lofty, kihgly mi- ii,
That stamped tlhee, leadter in cnch friy,
First li-r i each scene.
Our hearts to-day again are bright,
For 11ull of love are we ;
We e,mi't repress our battle-cry,

Why Charles Dickens Separa
ted from his Wife.
HIS OWN STATEMENT.
Tlie great novelist prefaces his
lotter as follows: "You havo not
only my full portnission to show
this, but I bog you to show this to
any one who has boon misled into
doing me diron." We thereforo
take pleasure in presenting his
statement to our readers:
My Dear -: Mrs. Dickens
and I havo lived unhappily to
gother for many years. Hardly
any one who has known us inti
matoey can fail to have known
that we tre, in all respects of cha
noter- and temperament, wonder
fully unsuited to each other. I
suppose that no two people not vi
c ~ ious in themselves ever wer-e
joined together who had greater
diffioulty in inderstanding one
,nnotheor, or i o had less in com-.
mron. An attached woman ser
~vantL (more friend to both of us
:than a servant), wvho lived wvith
.us sixteon yars, and is now mar'
1riod, and wh wa~s and still is in
Nfra- Dicens' confidence andl mine,
'who had the closest fa.miliar ox
~perionoo of this unhappiness in
fiond on, in the country, in Fr-ance,
in Italy, wherever we have been,
~veoar after year, month after- month,
,vock after week, day after daty,
svill bear- testimony to this.
Nothing has, on nmaty ooon
dions, stood betweon us and a sep.
aration but Mrs. Dickens' sister,
Gorgino HIogar-th. From tihe ago
of fifteen she has devoted heorself
to our house andl children. She
has been their play mate, nur-se, in
viser and compnion. In the man
ly consideration towards Mr-s.
bickons which I owe to my wvife,
I Nill merely reomark of her that
the peeuliarity of her char-ae=
I, ter has thrown all the care of the
children on some one else. I do
ntot know-i1cannot by any stretch
of fancy imagilne--.~what would
have become ofXthem but for this
guunt, who has grown up with them,
to whom they are devoted, and
who has sacrificed the best par-t of
bemr youth ard life to thorm.
She has r-e strated, -ensonod,
suffered and tailed, and( come again,
to prevent a separation between
Mr-s. Dickens and me. Mr-s. 1)ick
ens has often exp)ressedl to her the
s-enso of' her- afictionate care and
dlevotion1 in thle hous--.-ever more
strongly than within the last
twelve mon01ths.I
For somo years past Mrs. Diok
ens has been in the habit of rep
resenting to me that it would be
better for her to go away and live
apart; that her always increasing
estrangement made a mental dis
order, under which sho sometimes
labors ; moro that she felt herself
unfit for the life she had to load
as my wife, and that she would be
far better away. I have uniform
ly replied that she must bear our
misfortune and fight the fight out
to the end ; that the children were
the first consideration, and that I
feared they must bind us together
"in appearance."
At longth) within theso three
wooks, it was suggested to mo by
Foster, that even for their sakes
it would surely be better to recon
struct and rearrange the unhappy
home. I ompowored him to treat
with Mrs. Dickens as the friond of
both of us for one and twenty
years. Mrs. Dickons wished to
add, on hor part, Mark Lemon,
and did so. On Saturday last Lem
on wrote to Foster th'tt Mrs. Dick
ens "aratefuilly and thankfully ac
cepted the terms I proposed to
her. Of tile pecuniary part of
them, I will only say that I be.
liove they are as generous as if
Mrs. Dickens were a lady of dis
tinction and I a man of fortune.
The remaining parts of them are
easily described-my eldest boy
to live with Mrs. Dickens and to
takO care of her; my eldest girl to
kep my houso ; both by girls and
all my children but the eldest sonl
to live with me in continued com
panionship of their I aunt Georgine,
for whom they have all the ten
derest affections that I have Over
seen among young people, and
who has i higher claim (as I have
often declared for many years)
upon my affection, respect and
gratitude, than anybody in this
world.
I hope that no one who may be
came acquainted with what I write
horo can possibly be so cruel
and unjust as to put any miscon
st ruction on1 our separation, So fill.
My elder children all understand
it perfoctly, and all accept it ats in
evitable.
There is not a shadow of donbt
or Concealment Imotng us. My
oldest son and I are one as to it
a'l.
Two wicked persons, who should
have spo.cen very (iTOrent of me,
in considJeration of earned respect
and gratitude, have (as I am told,
and, indeed, to my personal knowl
edge,) coupled with this separa
ration the name of a young lady
for whom I have a groat attach
ment and regard. I will not re
)oat the name-I honor it too
much. Upon my soul and honor,
there is not on this earth a more
vir -tuous and spotless creature
than that young lady. I k-now her
to be innocent and puro, and 'as
good as my own daughters.
Fut ther, I am quite suro that
Mrs. Dickens, having received this
assur-ance from me, must niow be
lieve it, in the respect I know her
to have for mae, and in the peorfect
confidenoe. I know her, in hor bet
ter moments, to reposo in my
truuthfuilness.
On this head, again, there is not
a shadow of dloubt or concealment
between my children and me. All
is opoen and plain among us, as
though we were brothers and sis
ters. T.Ihoy are porfootly certain
that I wvould not (doceive them,
and tihe confidence among us is
without a fear. C. D.

The Great are Dying.
Recently three distinguished
mon have passed away-Hon.
John Boll, of Tonnessee, Senator
Pesseniden, and General Rawlins,
Socrotary of War. The latter is
said to have boon the only friend
of the South in Grant's Cabinet.
Now that he is gone, the duty of
trusting to God for protootion is
more apparent. "Vain is the hell)
that man sul)plios" at best, but
when those that are friendly are
taken out of' the way, then we
must say with the Psalmist:
"God is our refuge and our strength,
In 8triitsit a present aid."
Gen. Sherman is the successor
of iawlins, pro tem., and if he is
disposed to make amends for the
evils ho has inflicted on us, the
way is opn; lot him show a
friendly hand.
Senator Fossenden showed him
s81 a ma in the im)eachment of
Andy Johnson. Doubtless he had
a very poor opinion of A, J., but
lie had too good an opinion of his
own character and uprightness to
be influenced by party considera
tions to give aln unrighteous do
cision against the President. He
will be honored for his stand in
this matter, w hilo those who could
stoo) to a mean act, to carry party
schemes, vill be contomned by
posterity, if not by the present
generation.
If Mr. Bell had been the only
candidato in opposition to Mr.
Lincoln for the Presidency, Lin
coin would havo boon defoated, and
the war with all its horrors, would
have been postponed indefinitoly.
But it appears to have boon so

this because we suppose any of

It involves trouble, should be
turned over, and must be watched,

Some one says that tioxious
itivia are absorbed in an incredi
bly short space of time, if two or
three onions are cut in thin slicos,
and put on a plato, to be renewed
every six hours. This is just as
true as that the smarting from the
scratch of a pin becomes instanta
ncously unfelt if the person is
knocked down. The only safo,
healthful and effrectual method of
keoping a sick room "sweet," is
to keeop everything scrupulously
dry and clean j instantly remove
every article of clothing or bod
ding which has an atom of damp
ness or moisturo upon it; do not
allow even pure water to stand a
moment in the apartmont ; lot the
firoplace be always kept open,
with a frequent and free adimis
sion of the pure and the fresh air
from out doors. This should be
dono every two or three hours
during the twenty-four. It is the
pure air that sick people want,
not an atmospherc loaded with
the fumes of onions, for in a pint
of air they displace just as many
L )articles of fresh air as would
urnt sugar, cologne-water, or
the sulphurretted hydrogon of the
out house; for be it' remembered,
it is not the odor which does the
mischief so much as the deficiency
of nutrititous particlos of the at
mosphere which it takes the place
of. The greatest humanlity we
can show the siAk is to securo to

MIS-SPENT EVENINus.-The boy
who spends an hour of each even
ing lounging idly on a street cor
nor, wastes, in the course of a
year, throo hundred and sixty
five precious hours, which, if ap
plied to study, would familiarize
him with the rudiments of almost
any of the fumiliar sciences. If
in addition to wasting an hour
each evening, he spends ten cents
for a cigar, which is usually the
case, the amount thus worse than
wasted, would pay for ten of the
leading periodicals of the country.
Boys, think of these things.
Think how much prccious time
and good money you are wasting,
and for what ? The gratification
afforded by the lounge on the cor
nor, or by the cigar, is not only
tenmIpoIarIy, but Positively hurtful.
You cannot indulge in those prac
tices without seriously injuring
yourselves. You acquire idle and
wasteful habits, which will Cling
to you through life, and grow up
on you with each succeeding year.
You may in after life shake them
off, but the llprobabilities are that
the fiabits thus formed in early
lifle will remain with you till your
dying dlay. Be warned then in
ime, aind resolve that as thme hour
spent in idlencss is gone forever,
you will improve each passing
