The Raia? or Death.
On his phantom steed, with passion's
DeatSIrw?eps on his cireuita wide;
Through every zono he rides alone.
With dread as his weird bride.
Pause and think
On the brink
Of the tide
Dim and wide
In tho "-loom
Of thy doom
Passing theo.
With a mocking glee, o'er every sea,
Ho gathers his tracking storm,
And be hunts down life in its gasping strife,
In every breathing form;
With his muffled feet, his courser flee!,
O'ertakes each flying man,
And summons him back, in every crowd,
To tramp in his caravan.
Ponder! sighl
Each must die;
Vengeful death.
In each breath,
Conquers life.
To the laughing chUd and the savage wild.
To the maiden in mystic light
To the rayless mind, m mission kind -
To hope, with its beamings bright
To tho proud and great in pomp of utatc -
To all of a vagrant's birth -
To tho heart of grief, like a smitten leaf -
To all of this moaning earth,
Hastens death.
Ponder death !
Inky waves,
Silent graves,
All around
Thee abound,
Man 1 O mau !
On Conscience.
I have been diligent to keep my
conscience clean, to encourage it in
tho vicegerency that thou (the great
Lord of the world) hast given it over
my soul and actions. I havo kept it
in the Throne, and greatest reverence
and authority in my heart.
In action to be done or omitted, I
have always advised with it, and taken
its advice; I have neither stifled, nor
forced nor bribed it, but gave it a
free liberty to advise and speak ont,
and a free subjection of my will. pur?
poses and actions to it.
If, through importunity of tempta?
tions, &c, I have, at any time, done
amiss, I have not taken her up short,
or stopped her month, or my own at?
tention to her chiding and reproof;
bat I have, with much submission of
mind, borne her chastisement and
improved it to an humbling of my?
self before thee for my failings; for
I looked upon her as acting by thy
authority, for thy service and to thy
glory, and I durst not discourage,
discountenance or disobey her.
When she was pleased and gave me
good words, 1 was glad, for I es?
teemed her as a glass, that represent?
ed to my soul the favor or displeasure
of God himself, and how he stood
affected towards me.
I have trembled more under the
fear of a seared or discouraged con?
science than under the fear of a sharp
or scrupulous conscience, because I
always accounted the latter, though
more troublesome, yet more safe.
I have been very jealous either of
wounding or grieving, or discour?
aging or deadening my conscience. I
have, therefore, chosen rather to for?
bear that which seemed but indiffer?
ent, lest there should be somewhat in
it that might be unlawful, and would
gratify my conscience with being too
scrupulous, than displease, disquiet
or flat it, by being too venturous; I
have still chosen rather to forbear
what might be possibly unlawful, be?
cause I could not err in the former,
though I might in the latter.
I have been careful to advise im?
partially with my conscience before
my actions; but lest I had committed
anything amiss, either in the nature
and manner of the action, I common
]y, every night, brought my actions i
of the day past before the judicatory j
of my conscience, and left her to a
free and impartial censure of them ; ;
and what she sentenced well done, I,
with humility, returned the praise j
thereof to thy name; what she sen
fenced done amiss, I did humbly sue '
to thee for pardon, and for grace to ?
prevent me from the like misear- !
riages. By this means I kept my
conscience active, renewed and pre?
served my peace with thee, aud I
learned vigilance and caution for the
time to come.--Judge Hale.
NEW APPLICATION OP AN OLD PRO- {
VERB-One of our friends, who had
been at the fire, staggered into our
room yesterday morning in a very J
how-come-you-so condition, and com
plained of having the "puffles."
Having a remedy for this disease close j
at hand, we handed him the bottle.
He seized it eagerly, and without
waiting for a glass, "took" it by
"word of mouth." We watched him
for about a minute, as the contents
gurgled down his throat, and finally
gave vent to our opinion of the
quality of "J. O'R.V best, that was
going the way of all good things, in
a prolonged whistle.
When he got through, he asked,
"What did yon whistle for just now?"
"For yon to stop!" was our answer.
"Good Lord!" exclaimed he, "one
swallow does not make a drink, any
more than it does a summer."

Mrs. Partington asks, very indig?

are not counterfeit, why there should
be so much difficulty in passing them?
* Young ladies should never object

freedom of the press.

ment is the only safe and happy one.

I sib ?m-y^to observe.* disposition
on tbe part of the Reconstruction
Committee to suppress, in the pre?
tended publication of General Leo's
testimony, the most important por?
tion of that distinguished officers
examination. I violate no confidence
in giving it, as follows:
Q. What kind of shirts did you,
wear during- the wjar* A. Calico,
sometimes, and sometimes woolen.
Q. You are married, are you nott
A^ Yea, I am. J
X$. Well, state to; the. Committee
what kind of under-clothing your;
wife wore during the unholy strife, j
A. I was not at home much of the
time, and can't say.
Q. What color was it? A. T don't
know.
Q. Wasn't it grey? A. I never
took notice.
Q. Don't you know that the . ladies
of the South formed a secret cabal1
for the wearing of grey petticoats
daring the war? A. I do uot.
Q. Don't you think they wore more
grey than blue in the article of cloth?
ing to which we refer? A. I do not
know. Never investigated that sub- j
ject.
Q. Is it true that the women of,
the South wear Jeff. Davis' picture in j
their bosoms? A. I never took no-1
tice. Should not be surprised if some
of them did.
Q. Do you think a Freedmen's Bu?
reau agent would be allowed to marry
into a first family of Virginia? A.
If a young lady belonging to a first
family were willing, I suppose ho
could.
Q. How long will it be before
pumpkiu pies become a favorite dish
in the lately rebellious districts? A.
I do not know. Some people like 1
them now.
Q. Is there not a great aversion to
codfish, as a Yankee staple of diet?
A. I do not know that there is.
Q. Do they like pork and beans in
Virginia? A. Some people do.
Q. What's your opinion of the j
Feuians? A. I have not given the
subject much attention.
Oj. How are you ou Schleswig-Hol- |
stein? A. I have not made up my
mind on that subject either.
0- Which side do you sleep on?
A. The right side, generally.
Q. Do Southern men generally
continue to sleep in arms, notwith?
standing the cessation of tho rebel?
lion? A. Those who are married do, j
I believe.
Q. Do those that arc not married j
abstain from doing so? A. I can't j
say that they all do.
There are other important parts of
Gen. Leo's testimony not yet pub
lished by tho Committee on Recon- !
struction. I trust I have given
enough to show, when contrasted
with what has heretofore been given
to the public, that the most signifi
nificant portions of the examina- '
tion-those bearing most directly on :
the great problem of reconstruction- ;
are wilfully suppressed.
AN AUK ANSAS FATHER'S ADVICE TO
HIS SON.-Bob, you ure about leaving
home for strange parts. You are
going to throw me out of the game
and go it alone. The odds are agin
you, Bob-remember that industry
and perseverance are the winning
cards, as they are the "bowers."
Book laming, and all that soil of
thing, will do to fill up with, like
small trumps, and you must have the
bowers to back them, or they aint !
worth shucks, ff luck is agin you :
pretty strong, don't cave and look
like a sick chicken on a rainy day;
but hold up your head and make be- !
lieve you are flush of trumps; they
don't play so hard agin you. I've
lived and traveled around some, Bob,
?nd I've found out that as soon as
folks thought you held a weak hand,
they'd all buck agin you strong. So,
when you're sorter weak, keep on a :
bold front, butplay cautious; be satis?
fied with a p'int. ' Many's the hand
I've seen 'em eucred because they i
played for too much. Keep your I
eyes well-skinned, Bob; don't let 'em ?
nig you: recollect the game lays asl
much with the head as with the '
hands. Be temperate-never get !
drunk; for then, no matter how you :
play it, both bowers and tho ace won't :
save you; for there's surtin to be a
"miss-deal" or something wrong, j
And another thing, Bob, (this was ;
spoken in a low tone,) don't go too !
much on women; queens is kinder
poor eards; the more you have of 'em
the worse for you: you might have \
three and nary a trump. I don't say ?
discard 'em all; if you get hold of one
that is a trump, it's all good, and
there'll sartain to be one out of four.
And above all, Bob, lie honest; inner
take a man':, trick wot don't belong
to you, nor "slip" cards or "nig,"
for then you can't look your man in
the face, and when that's the case,
there's no fun in the game; it's a
regular "cut-throat." So now, Bob.
farewell; remember wot I tell you,
and you will be sure to win; and if
you don't, it sarvos you right if you
get "skunked."
The Fredericksburg Herald says:
"A big sale was made Friday by Mr.
Auctioneer Johnson. Coming across
a pair of shoes, odd fellows, he put
them up, and after stating terms,
they wero knocked down at $2,000!
Mr. W. Roy Mason, purchaser. They
were sold for Confederate Treasury
notes. We reckon this will be
among the last of sales made for this
antiquated currency."
Dr. Richardson bas found that one
good H?T?!ia cigar wrtnlo yield, when I
its smoke is condensed, a sufficient
amount of poisoned s matter, to in?
duce active convulsions in a rabbit,
and six pipes of common shag tobac?
co will yield sufficient poison to
destroy a rabbit in three minutes.
[California Youth's Companion.
Tho deduction is plain and simple;
it is very unhealthy for rabbits to
smoko good" Havana cigars, especial?
ly if they aggravate their folly by
"condensing" the smoke-a thing
which must infallibly produce 1 'active
convulsions" of laughter, or some
other kind of convulsions, the author
of the above treaties being in a man?
ner obscure on this point. Also, it
would be in the last degree foolhardy
and absurd for a rabbit to indulge in
more than five pipes of "common
shag tobacco," unless circumstances
rendered it an object for the rabbit
to destroy itself "in three minutes,"
and the advantages to accrue from
that object, would be impaired by j
procrastinating to tho extent of a
minute or two.
The moral of the treatise is pal?
pable; rabbits should not indulge in
tobacco only in the strictest modera?
tion, uud it would even be good
judgment in them to abstain from its
use altogether. But we will remark
here casually, in a spirit of friendly
consideration for the editor of the
California Youth's Companion, that
articles written for the instruction of
rabbits ought always to be accom?
panied by the most explicit expla?
nations, because of so inferior an
order is their intellectuel capacity,
that they might otherwise fail to
understand even the simplest propo- !
sition, notwithstanding it contained j
information of the utmost irnpor- i
Lance to their well-being.
