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." I Mob ile Advert iser. Mrs. Partington asks, very indig? nantly, if the bills before Congress are not counterfeit, why there should be so much difficulty in passing them? * Young ladies should never object to bein qr kissed by an editor; they should make every allowance for the freedom of the press. A life of full and constant employ? ment is the only safe and happy one. _ ^ ;. ? ii ia_- >u AH o oonrespuiiu?n* IM. -v*-*v*ij naja CicM^m?rc?riii^?ipth?fo^win6:_ 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.
