? M?SGE IiLANTT' -?-: Going to Sleep. Tho light is fading down the sky, The shadows grow and multiply, I hear the thrushes* eveping song; But I have borne with toil a?d# wrong * ! So long, so long! Dim dreams my drowsy senses drown- ? So, darling,- kia*s my eyelid down! M/ life's brief spring went wasted by My summer ended fruitlessly; I leajrned to hunger, strive and wait I found you, love-oh! happy fatel > So late, so latei ' Now all my fields are turning brown Ni? darling, fct??i my eyelids COTO! Oh! blessed sleep! oh! perfect .rest! Thus pillbwcd on your faithful breast, Kor lib nor death is wholly drear, 0, tender heart, since you are here, So dear, so dear! Sweet love! my soul's sufficient .crown! Now , darlings, kiss my eyelids down! "THE WAY THAT SCANTMX GOES.?- ! An English paper contains thc" fol- ] lowing, which should go the rounds: ! A wise man gave his friend tfcis ad vice: If you take a house in a terrace a little way out, of town, bc careful i to select the centre one-because a ! story never loses by telling; and if you live in the middle house, tales j which might be circulated to your j prejudice will only have half thc dis? tance to travel thi:t they would if you lived at cither extreme, and so you . will have twice as good a character as those residing at either end. The following fact will prove thc wisdom of my advice: The servant at No. 1 told the servant at No. 2, that lier master expected his old friends theBaile3"s to pay him a visit shortly; No. Sftold No. 3 that No. 1 expected to have the bailiffs in his house every day; No. 3 told No. 4 that it was Mp with Nq. 1, for he could not keep the bailiffs ont; and No. 4 told No. 5 that the officers were after. No. 1, and that it was as much as he could do to pre? vent the le vj- of an execution in his house, and that it was nearly kill? ing his poor dear- wife! And so it? went on increasing until it got to-No. 32, who confidentially assured No. 33 that the Bow street officers had taken up tho gentleman at No. i for kill? ing his poor dear wife, with arsenic, and that it was confidently hoped and expected that he would be exe? cuted." . . . - ? - ... A MATRIMONIAL INCONSTANCY.-A j queer instance in illustration of this vibe has recently been brought to j ligkt ^n a neighboring town. A j married woman moving in high Circles, left her home one evening last week, ?nd taking :v conveyance to j a'hotel in the rural districts, was ' soon joined by an unfaithful husband, who ought to have been.,at home ! taking care of bis own family, in? stead ot' engaging ir. intimate com- i panionship with those outside of his own Household The couple ordered . a roon together, representing them selves as husband and wife. At a ! inter hour tho1 same night a carriage : drove up to the door of the hotel with another couple, who engaged lodgings : in an adjoining ?hamber. All passed oft quietly enough until the next morning,, when tin: two couples were i summoned to the breakfast table, i There they met when--lo and behold! ? -there was a mere change of partners, j each gentleman having upon bis arm ! the wife of the other! Although there | was mutual blushing, mental eui sing and recrimination, it was deemed ? best, after a sober, second thought, I to let toe matter resfc as quietly as | poe lille, but the coincidence was a too ?.-."arkablo one to avoid the ear of th. ?vcr curious. [Lowell (Mass.) News. A VESEHATCTIT!NEGRO.-Alate ama ber nf the St. Louis Evening Neics says: "The oldest colored man in. the State reported at the ('entrai Station, this morning, that he had been rob? bed of a wat^ph which h? had carried fyr thirty' years. Jones will be one htvndred year:-, old on the first of January Jiext. He remembers the : surrender of Cornwrllis at forktown.; hi1-- master, Col. Simms, who owned several plantation.'; and six hundred slaws, being present at the surren? der. Jones has ploughed the glebe with Henry Clay in tho ''Slashes of Banover.' When Aaron Burr was tried at Richmond,-he ran away to get a sight at him, and 'got one Of the most devillisluv.t whipping.1? for it' he ever received. When Admiral Cockburn sailed witWiis fleet up the Chesapeake Bay, hi sent word to Richmond that he would bo there next day to dino. The chivalry went out to moetliim. Jones marched out with AjidreW J. Stevenson, who com? manded the 'foQt artillery.' William Witt was Captain of the 'flying artil? lery.' and Robert (?amble of the tooopc:s.'

Im* lost hi.. ?teb." gggagggj a i gsjMgjsjgisjj President Jokftion na n Tailor. | i A correspondent pf the New York I Herald mites from Greenville, Te? jnessee: fe'" j "Mine ?o3t" of the hotel had been I a "brother, chip," and worked upon, j the tailor bench with President John ? son in days lang syne, and I obtained i from him some valuable information concerning* "A. Johnson, Tailor,'* which sign-a fae simile of the. old one which w; s sent to the' Chicago Sanitary Fair-now hangs over the door. T he old^jen tleman's storv con? cerning our President, runs Lb un. There was a vast difference between Andy and I when we worked on the same bench. . I could spell B-a-k-e-r, and he could not; but he could "flax" me on,/wpair of breeches or a fine coat, and^fconld gvu a better price for his work than I. He never made a gar? ment that didn't fit, and never had a job returned. He was the best tailor I havo. ever met. When Andy got married he hadn't ten dollars in-the world, and his wife was as.poor as Naomi's daughter. Her mother said to her before she wa%married, (call? ing her by name, ) ' T eau give you all the money there is in the house.-fif? teen dellar?-to help you about going to house-keeping; or I will take the money and give a wedding-which will you prefer? ' 'Mother, " said she,,, "I will take the wedding, and Andy and I'll work for money-won't we?" appealing to her lover. He assented, and the consequence was that the young couple had not one cent with which to "set up" for themselves. After they were married she taught him tq read, and the world knows the lest, said the old man with a sigh of relief, as he stroked duwil Iiis sandy wig, and puffed away at his oM clay pipe. Oh, wonderful plebian, it is a long and rugged road that leads from the tailor's bench, in Greenville, to the Presidential Chair, al Washing t m; but that wonderful trip through Cumberland Gap has told its tale. RESIDENCE OF ANDY JOHNSON, THE "F TAILOR. The old residence of. President Johnson stands on the mitin street, only a few rods from the hotel. We walked down and surveyed its out? ward structure, though we did not enter, as it has been prostituted to the most vile purposes since the rebellion. It is a simple brick house, two stories high, with an L extending back, Arith a porch on one side. Very like other house.-? where destined Presidents have never lived. It being, howe-vcr, tho place where President Johnson had made bis struggle for greatness, I had a desire to sot: it, and have given mjferenders the benefit of my short vjsit. THE TALLOU'S SIIOI*. The place where the famous knight of the scissorslie?q forth was the next thing that attracted my curiosity, and so 1 went to seo that. "A. Johnson, Tailor,* painted in crude letters, en imitation of the original, said Eureka to me, and I stopped before the magic symbols, gazing intently on the little eight by ten frame building. It was plebian in the extreme, built very much in tho style of a tanner's smoke house, of rough weather-boarding, whitewashed. On tho other end the boards are lora off in places, and the chimney is tumbling to decay. An old negro, raised by ^President John? son, and assuming his name, is the sole occupant of the building, ?md ho is the successor in business of "A. Johnson, Tallow." fie says, "Massa Johnson been in de trade de bes tailor in dose diggins." President John? son's firsi: public office was Mayor of Greenville. ? THE TABEES* T?ENED. - Aletter from Beaufort, S.' C., says Dr. Sams, who owned "Oakland," on St. Helena Island, has returned and lives in one of the deserted negro cabins. One of his former slaves lives in tlw? mansion house, which he bought >t the United .States Tax Commissioner; the Doctor tried to get a room in the house, but Harry would no.t-sntfer him to?cfcnpy any part of it. The building is ]: poor one; but the cabin where Sams now liv? :; is hot a?j habitable as many '.sorthern pig pens. Thc former owner of a hundred slaves now lives in an abandoned hovel on the plantation which he O? iee owned. Dr. Clarence Fripp asks the patronage o? the peo? ple of St, Helena; his card (written by himself) says: "He will *be found from 10 a. "m. until -x p. m. at the house of John Major." That. John Major was formerly his slave. I Brjuion Journal. - i .??- . A few weeks ago, a young woman named Mary Scott, about twenty-five years of aga, residing in Soho, Lou? don, was going down stair.-. + o the kacie i., when her foot e: ught in her crinoline, and she was precipitated from the top to the bottom .of the stair.:.

We had a conversation with a s,tout colored woman, at present'in our employ-one, too, of tho very best that we have met with, and she says that the ?jnderstandHig among the black folks all through the country is, that the whites and the blacks are to/tye forced to marry; thefrlack men. to maVry our white women, and"" the white men thc black women. "If think,'' ?aid she, "that Juke will be .??j wubu Cuauppoijaiiett, iK> xif ex? pected long 'fore this to have been married to a white, lady." Jake had been her husband, and bad actually^ abandoned her with the view of mar-' rying a white woman. It scorns, from what we could learn, that wags, both Northern and Southern, had been playing offc their jokes upon the moro gullable ol-thc black people, and thc laffc?r, without questioning, accepted the joke as Gospel. Tho fact is, the general intermarriage of thc whites and blacks is, to sonn- extent, believed hy thc more intelligent class of ?ol orcd people about town. Wo heard an mtell?ent colored.woman say that as it was now lawful .for whites and blacks to marry, slio would morry a white man, as she never "eared-much about negroes anyway." [S7irevefi>r^(La. ) Newsl THE WITHDRAWAL OF WIRZ'S COUN? SEL.-Hon. James Hughes, the former counsel for Capt. Wira, is out in a long letter to the Indianapolis Joicmal, 'giving his reasons for his desertion ol' the Amiersonville jaile r, He says: "I did not withdraw fironi the de? fence on account of opinions ns to tlic legality of military commissions, or their expediency at this time. I withdrew because I believed that tho prisoner could uol obtain a fair trial, and I could not secure it . for him. I mean to say that if all tech? nical rules of law were thrown aside, Captain Wirz could not, in my opin? ion, receive before a military commis- i sion, subject to orders from th? office of thc Judge Advocate General, that fair play on the merits '?of his case, that rough justice which usually cha? racterises the decisions of the rudo and unaltered but equitable frontier men who hold t?ie courts of Judge Lynea in the West.
