When the hours of day are numbered, And the voices of the night Wake the better soul that slumbered To a holy esni delight; Ere the evening lmps are lighted, And like phantoms grim and tall, Shadows fromn the fitful firelight Dance upon the parlor wall, Then the forms of the departed Enter at the open door The beloved. the true hearted, Como to visit m1e onco more. lie. the young and strong, who cherished Noble longings for the strife, ly the roadside fell and pcrished, Weary with the march of life! They, the holy ones and weakly, Who the cross of sullfering bore, Folded their palo hands so mseekly, Speak with its on earth n mtore ! And with thet the being beauteous Who unto ty youth was given, More than all things else to love me, And is now a saint in heaven. With a slow and noiseless footstep, Comes that messenger divine; Takes the vacant chair beside me, Lays her gentle hand ii mine Anil the sits and gaze, at .e With those deep and t .t eybs, Like the stars so still and saint-like, Looking downward from the skies Uttered not, yet comprehended, Is the spirit's voiceless prayer Soft rebukes in blessing ended, Breathing from her lips of air. Oh, though oft depressed and lonely, All my fears are laid aside, If I but remember only / altol . as..by,}g liypdla dlied.

A SERPlENT INA Mi.ULE's EYE. ----The Galveston (Texas) News Mr. Kit Williams has a mule whosew right eye ball contains a iniatur'e serpeanlit ab)out two inches and a half long, and. per' ,fectly white. The snake has a head, andi keeps in constant mio tion, as if endeavoring to es cape fr'om his confinement. It was first thought to be a haiir, *which wvhen soaked in water as sumnes th~e aippeCarance of a rep tile, but it has in a few days ini ~creased in length so rapyidly that this theor'y does not seem to ex 'plain the phlenomenon, Thte mule is still ab~le to see with the eye, but his owner fears that if the snake grows,- much larger .the eye will be destroyed. *A curious method of killing -ats is recommended in a Gr ~fman .jour'nal as very efficient. ~.

Froii the 1,11l4i1 Daily Teei e n I Robert E. Lee. At Lexington, in the State of Vir ginia, there is a college whieb bears thet name of the most, t lustrious cit i. zen ever born in the '' )I 1)min ion,' fertile as that land has been in heroes nor could George Washington him self have wished that the college erected in his honor should have for 'resident a worthier chief than the, onie who quietly entered upon hi l dt tics just a fortnight ago. The new President is still in th'e prine of man. hoo(, though already his hair ad beard are gray ; he lns long been ae. eustomied to eouin:aild ; lie is tuiniliar with hardship, as with f:ni-bas sliet for months aiiiId the woods of Virginia., and has crossed the Rappahannock Northward at the head of a victorious army ; he has been proved ke by good and evil fortune, : i when ! threatening the Federal c:. ital, or when surrendering his sword a IXd oral Captain, he has ever borne him self as beseened a man noble alike by ancestry and by nature. The de. scendaut of "Light Iiorse llarry"' has 1' doffed the gray uniform for the garb of a peaceful professor ; nor can we own that change is a degradation, even for Robert Lee. There is a dilfercnce in the ovinde of action, but no alteration in the eb loot, which is simply to render the best service he can to his native State. To that single aim lie has never once been unfaithful and lie will still pur sue it, we itay rest. asst'ured, withs-the old iigh enthusiasm, tempered by a cautious brain. Tbroughout the war1 nothing was more remarkable than t Lee's personal influence-tle imanne r in which lie i iml p r o s s e t1 every one who approched hin. That, men with Jaeksoii's purity and earnestness, b with the (/~lnIaire and graceful valor of Stuart, should appreciate the ill us trious qualities of their leader, was 1 only natural ; but even the humblest soldiers in the rank felt, thou-;l theyer might not have been able to expre ss ti the moral power ohict L exerted. 'The war was, in all conscience, san guinlary enough ; but there would have been a very carnival of rage, a devil- 0 ish outbreak of all man's fiercest pas of a diff'erent temper. Gallantly as the Confederates fought, we must nev er .forget that their auiies were otften compi~osed otf sometwhat. qjuestion-. able raw material ; than, the volutn teers, with all the instinct of' bravery which seldom (1 e.crts a lominant class, had likewise many of te vices which are invariably eiigeiidered b the possessiu of arbitrar'y and -lawles I power. Aceustonied to the u anebliel: ed license of authoritv, the slavehold ers might perchance 'have been rca(y a enough to give the wal' a character of internecine hatred ; and it was cmi- I nently due to Robert Lee that the i courtesies and hulailities of civilized warfare were, on the whole observed. The general nature of the man never ti degenerated into weakness; with a high hand hie Could restrain excesses, and admirably did he exerciso hi is power. There are no purer. paaes in the history of the civil war t(hanl those which relate to ib, invasion of 'lary lIltd and Pennsylvania, at a time wen the temper of' the Southern peo ple0 was sorely trietd- Such quaol ities as hie displaycd conidt not1 fi1, mi a long run, to wini the regard of a manliy uand atffectionat~e people; and while we findt t,hat he( wvas iloved hike a father by alt those who shared his iummnedliate perils, we have nout yet torgotten that whetn the victor'ious ve(teransii of the Northi were miarebinag home tlhrough Richmond they burst miito a splenidid shout of en thiusiasm as they recogi uwl, giravely con templat ing them'i fromi a enrt ainledd winidow, the fanuiliar formiand face of Robert Lhee.
