My Ftnt Pipe. It is avery diminutive moerschaun indeed, witta a little carved stem, lik< tho tail of a juvenile porker, aud i hangs very nicely iu tho corner o your mouth, (the stem, and not ttl? pig's tail,) with the bowl resting 01 tho chin, and tho ascending smoki warming your nose in cold weathe . in a very jolly way. It has beei broken once or twice, and has silvc bauds around tho stem, which set ol the dark mahogany tint of the meer sol m uni very prettily. This pipe wa given me by Ensign-, of H. Id -th Regiment, and it recalls to mini many jolly days and nights in th mess-room or at the main guard The citadel at-, where the -t wero quartered, stood on a naturi elevation overlooking tho town, hat bor - and surrounding country, century had rolled round since th fortifications bad been designed, an mosses were growiug in many place ou the granite walls. It was truly formidable looking place, with il great cannon sweeping down tb slopes, its massive walls and yawuiu embrasures. The o?icers' quartei wero very liko prison cells. Som faced outward and somo inward, bi with very few exceptions tho vie from the solitary wiudow was tli same-dark grauite walls, ^'Only this and nothing moro." Tho ceilings were arched bric work, the floor aud walls of cold gm granite, and over walls und ceiling were many coats of white-wash. Tl nre-pluces or grates were small au deeply suuk, but when filled wil soft bituminous coal, they dispense ample heat. Ensign-'s quarte boasted of the regulation iron bei stead, and hero his dog Jack (ashoi haired Irish terrier, more knowii than one would suppose it possib for a dog to be,) used to ouscon himself in his master's absence, J tho first rattle of tho door hand! however, Jack would dart off fro and under tho bed in a jiffy; b this *-ould not always save him fro castigation, for a little hollow iu t level of the bed would testify unm takably to his guilt. Beside, the b was the skin of a black bear, and the centre of tho room a moose ski On the wall above the bed was t stuffed head of a moose, with its hu antlers, on which were laid or hu: various walking sticks, fishing roi etc. A bureau, with a good displ of scarf pins, buttons and toilet ai des; a slender iron washstand, wi tin bowl and pitcher; a dozen or t of forks in portable shelves; a tal bearing photograhic albums and pl tograpli8; drawing materials, wa colors, dogs-eared volumes from 1 garrison library, cards and not pipes and tobacco, a few lithogra] on tho wall, and you have a sketch all the officers' quarters in tho cita at-. Here it was that I first smoked ?ipo which afterward became mi t was a cold, raw day in autumn; fi re .was burning brightly in tho li grate; Jack, the terrier, was cur np on the moose skin, uow aud tl turning his full, intelligent eyo ii] us, as wo sat in easy lounging oh) on either sida of tho tiro and changed confidences over steam glasses of pure Glenlivet. A tl persou would have been decided!; trop. Wo wero discussing a yoi lady who had b.oken scores of he in tho country, and who had i come to town to try her skill higher game than susceptible com bumpkins. Of course, we could i or rather would not, have introdt such a subject had we other listei Mian the terrier. We wore 1 pretty deep in the young lu looks, und deadly rivals in the eyi the world, or rather, that portioi if comprised iu tho society of - but wo used to exchange notes al tervals for mutual edification and struction. It would make a stol itself, this double flirtation, nu very amusing ouo too, for no lu wore broken in tho somowhat dan ou8 pastime. The young lady ai two to her list of victims, (as thought,) and then engaged he to a great moon-faced booby who beeu courting her aunt (as proxj the time in the back ground, and were long Rince married. Seven cidents of this nature are linked our friendship, aud my pipo re then* ali wit* w^rfcd j^j^phje power. Such affairs generally do ena iii smoke, you know. My friend lias been promoted to, -a lieutenancy, and is now faraway in "merrie England," and we are not likely^ to meet again. riPH THE SECOND Is a very ugly pipe to look at, but ona dear to a smoker's beast. It is u meerschaum, with a small bowl and a cherry stem, and it hus received such'hard uS?go that few would sus? pect it to bo that diamond in the rough, a "sweet" pipo. Evory smoker will recognize this definition. The pipe was not given to me after the manner of tho first. I acquired ownership by possession and con? stant use, although when about to fold up my tent like the Arabs, I ro coived permission to bear it away. Every ono who hus smoked it has been so smittens with it that I have found some difficulty in retaining it. Apparently of so little intrinsic value, it has been asked for unhesitatingly, aud the refusal received doubtingly. It is so distinctively a bachelor's pipe -it might efren belong to a woman hater-that no soft memories aro as? sociated with it. It recalls life in a boarding-house, tho grimmcd, ink daubed walls of a newspaper office, aud rough frolics and forays ou Hood aud field. I should bato to part with it, though, and only lay it aside to take up 1'ITE THE THIRD, Which sums upiu a manner impossi? ble to describe, and not even, as I am fully aware, easily imagined, six years of my lifo. But the fact is very clear to me, nevertheless. Six. eventful, sad and happy years roll backward as I watch tho smoke rise from the beau? tiful curved bowl. During that time anew republic roso and fell; couut ' less cherished hopes were trampled into tho dust; and scorn, bitterness, I anguish, despair and death came to mauy. Moro than all, docs this pipe ! recall me, though I can hardly tell why, a fair sweet face, with earnest, truth-spcakiug eyes, a low broad brow, shaded by soft brown hair, and a slender, girlish figure. Ah mc! lu their presence I threw olY my worldly garb of indifference, of cynicism, of heartlessness. I, who have wandered ; heart-whole fur and wide, knew my? self to be iu the toils at lust. Visions of a quiet home after all my weary wanderings np and down the dusty highways and byways of the busy, bustling world came to me now and then aud were welcome. My restless? ness and my feverish fancies left me, but this peaceful, happy period of my life passed like a dream, and nguiu am I a wanderer. Not a pcusivo swain, straying through flowery vales with his plaintive pipe; but, grown harder, more heartless, more cynical thou ever, elbowing my way through crowded thoroughfares, seeking for? getfulness in pipe and perrique. Poetry in Undress. It is mauy years sinco I fell in love with Jane Jerusha ?Skeggs, the hand? somest country girl by fur that ever went on two legs. By meadow and creek, and wood and dell, so often did we walk, and the moonlight smiled on her melting lips, and the night winds learned our talk. Jane Jerusha was all to mo. for my heart was young and true, and loved with a doublo twisted love, and a love that was honest, too. I roamed all over the neighbor's farms, and I robbed the wildwood bowers, and 1 toro trowsers and scratched my hands in search of choicest flowers. lu my joyous love, I brought these to my Jerusha Jane, but wouldn't be so foolish now, if I were a boy again. A city chap then carno along, all dressed up in fine clothes, with a shiny hat, and a shiny vest, aud a moustache nuder his uose. Ho talked to her of singing schools, (for her father had a farm,) and she left me, the country love, and took tho new chap's arm. And all that night I never slept, nor could I eat next day, for I loved that girl with a fervent love that naught could drive away. I strove to win her back to me, but it was all in vain; tho city chap with tho hairy lip married Je? rusha Jane. And my poor heart was sick and sore, until the thought struck me, that just as good fish still remained ns ever was caught in tho sea. So I went to tho Methodist church, one night, and saw n dark brown curl peeping from under a gipsy hat, and I married that very girl. And many years have passed and gone, and I think my loss their gain; and I often bless that hairy chap that stole my Jerusha Jane. RAIHINO REVENUE.-Bunsby lucidly explains the preseut system of raising revenue as follows: "Now, yon seo, in the first pince, they git the amount of a feller's business. That is taxed. Then they find out how much be earns every month, and that's taxed. Then they find ont nil about his pro? fits, and on that they lay their tax. Then they manage to git soma tax on what he owes. Next comes what they call income, aud that's taxed. Then, if anything ?H left, the preacher calls around and gits it t<? sustain tho church and convert thu heathen." THE RETORT PERSONAL. -Among tho depositors in Jacob Barker's broken bank was a fortune-teller named Caprell. Sbo appeared after the failure, and clamored for her money. To her the teller Raid: "Why didn't you como last week?" To bim abo said: "How could I know your bank was going to fail?" "Then you are not much of a fortune-teller," the paying-teller told her. jftiJOerafta JlUlMfcnl. Wier marks that the iuvention of the sew? ing machine baa enabled, on? woman to sew aa mnoh as a hundred could sew by hand a century ?go; he con? tinues, one -woman now demands aa mnoh clothing as a hundred md a century ago-so that matters are not much changed, after all. T.t is a very safe rule to wet your wrists before drinking cold water, if you aro at all heated. The effect is immediate and grateful, and tho dan? ger of fatal results may bc warded off by this simple precaution. NOTHING NEW.-The Japanese say that the Dahlgron gun is au old af? fair with them. Some people are beginning to believe that Nonh's ark was a steam propeller. A country cousin remnrkod to a metropolitan friend that a storm was brewing; tho cockney said that ho supposed it would bo an '"ailstorm." Human beings aro by nature fight? ing animals. Tho very babies aro np in arms ns soon as they come into tho world. Snooks, observing .a lady's gaiter in an alley, remarked that it wus an alligator.

Gi OD willing, I bhall cause to bo puh lf" lished, at a place, time and price hereafter determined upon, a Weekly Paper, with the above style and title. Tho general object of tho publication will be tho maintenance of tho Christian Scriptures as the standard of right, in all questions which involve morality, whether these questions appertain to man indivi? dually or collectively, and whether arising from his relation to Cod or his neighbor.

TIAN NEIGHBOR will be an unequivocal advocate of Christianity as opposed to war, either offensive or defensive. While neither politics nor other incongc nial matter shall in any wiso alloy; yet tie principles of Christ iaiiity will be applied to all matters, so far as they involve moral principle. Politics shall be excluded from religion, yet tho former shall not be ex? empt from the application of the latter. Identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, whose authority under G>>d is paramount with me, and holding the principles announced, tho NEIGHBOR i^ ofTerou as a medium of advocacy of all the interests of Christianity in that branch of tho Church, and also as an agency for en? larging and establishing in other churches, and in the regions beyond, that Kingdom of Christ "which is not of this world."
