"FOIXI I>EAI> IX THE STREET."*
The labor is over and done ,
The sun has gone down in the west;
The birds are asleep, every one,
And the world has gone to its rest-
Sleepers on beds of down,
'Neath cover of silk nnd g"ld'
Soft, as on roses new-blown
Slept the great monarch of old
Sleepers on mother's breast,
Sleepers happy and warm,
Cosy as birds in their nest,
With never a thought of harm !
Sleepers in garrets high,
'Neath coverlet ragged and old ;
Aud one little sleeper all under the sky.
Out in the night anil cold !
Alone in the wide, wide world,
Christ less, motherless he ;
Begging or stealing to live, and whirled
Like a waif on an angry sea.
The daisy looks up from the grass,
Fresh from the fingers of Night,
To welcome the birds as they pass,
And drink in fresh rivers of light.
Sleepers on mother's breast,
Waken to summer and mirth ;
But one little sleeper has gone to his rest,
Never fo waken on earth—
Dead—found dead in the street,
All forsaken and lorn ;
Damp from head to the feet, •
With the dews of the sweet May morn !
Dead —for the want of a crust!
Dead—in the cold night-air!
Dead—and under the du3t,
Without even a word of prayer ;
In the heart of the wealthiest city
In this most Christian land.
Without even a word of pity,
Or the touch of a kindly hand !
Till; ROMAN SEXTIXEI,.
There was nothing in Pompeii that
invested it with a deeper interest to me
than the spot where a soldier of old
Rome displayed a most heroic fidelity.
That fatal day on which Vesuvius, at
whose feet the city stood, burst out in
to an eruption which shook the earth,
poured torrents of lava from its riven
sides, and discharged, amidst the noise
of a hundred thunders, such clouds of
ashes as filled the air, produced a dark-;
ness deeper than midnight and struck
such terror into all hearts that men
thought not only that the end of the
world had come and all must die, but<
the gods themselves were expiring— l
on that night a sentinel kept watch by |
the gate which looked to the burning
mountain. Amidst unimaginablecon
ftision, and shrieks of terror, mingled
with the roar of the volcano, and cries
of the mothers who had lost their chil
dren in the darkness, the inhabitants
tied the fatal town, while falling ashes,
loading the darkened air, and penetrat
ing every place, rose in the streets till
they covered the house-roofs, nor left
a vestige of the city hut a vast silent
mound, beneath which it lay un
known, dead, and buried, for nearly
one thousand seven hundred years.
Amidst this terrible disorder the sen
tinel at the gate had been forgotten;
and as Rome required her sentinel,
happen what might, to hold his post
till relieved by the guard or set at lib
erty by the officers, lie had to choose
between death and dishonor. Pattern
of fidelity, he stood at his post. Slow
ly but surely the ashes rise on his man
ly form; now they reach his breast;
and now covering his lips, they choke
his breathing, lie also was "faithful
unto death." After seventeen centu
ries, they found his skeleton standing
erect on the marble niche, clad in its
rusty armor—the helmet on his emp
ty skull, and his bony fingers still clos
ed upon his spear. And next almost
to the interest I felt in placing myself
on the spot where Paul true to his col
ors when all men deserted him, plead
before the Roman tyrant, was theinter
tcrest I felt in the niche by the city
gate where they found the skeleton of
one who, in his fidelity to the cause of
C'tesar, sets us an example of the faith
fulness to the cause of Christ—an exam
ple it were for the honor of their mas
ter that all his sevants followed. — Dr.
Guthrie.
IN Baltimore, a little girl returning
from school, fell on the pavement and

SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE.—WE
are glad to notice that the New York !
Times has the decency to give place to
the following paragraph in its editorial I
col u ms:
The single murder of Mr. Ashburn !
111 Georgia has called out the prompt j
and stern application of military force, j
In the vicinity of Selma, Ala., tive ;
white men, once of the rebel army,
have been murdered and no arrests ;
made. Has impartial justiceanything ;
to do with the pacification of a distur-;
bed land, or is impartial suffrage sup
posed to be all sufficient ?
Thc Ti/nciS sets a good example to its -
Radical cotemporaries by publishing
the above, but it is not likely that ma
ny of them will follow it. They pre
fer to indulge in laudation of the ne
groes and wholesale denunciation of the j
white population of the South.
TIIE song "Tramp, tramp, tramp,"
was composed by a prisoner confined
in the lowa Penitentiary, and was first
written 011 the walls of his cell with
charcoal. It has netted the publish
ers thousands of dollars, but not a cent
to the writer.
VOL. 62.—WHOLE No. 5.440.
l l liTIN AM RITM'.R.
In reading Curt-is's magnificent j
speech for the defense one cannot help ,
contrasting it with Butler's opinion j
for the prosecution. Ihe two men,
and their speeches, are types of tlie
two sides of the ease. Hutler is impu
dent, fierce, exultant over an easy (an
ticipated. victory. Curtis is polite,
calm, confident in the impregnable
strength of his position, and in thejus- :
tice of the Senate. Hutler argues,
whore lies ha a foundation for argu
ment, ably and effectively; beyond
that he quibbles and asserts. Curtis
keeps to the bounds of strict dialectics ;
his reasoning is like a chain, in which
there are no weak links, leading from
certain premises to certain conclusions.
Butler talks like a feed lawyer, at his
favorite pursuit of making the worse
appear the better cause. Curtis talks
like a judge who lias examined the
whole question judicially, and believes
upon his soul in what he says. Butler
treats the Senate as if it were a Coop
er Institute audience, whom he
was trying to bully, cajole, and flatter
to his way of thinking. He appeals
to the prejudices, the partisan feelings,
the seeming interests of his hearers;
never to thoir wisdom, their equity, i
their magnanimity. Curtis addresses j
the Senate in their high and true char- j
acter of court. He trusts to their in-j
telligenee, their justice, their generos-1
ity, even. lie cannot bring himself to
think that a body of men, reprosen-;
ting as they are supposed to-do,so much |
of all that is wisest and best in the j
land, can fail to follow his lofty line of '
argument, and to be influenced by con- !
siderationsdirected solely to their minds j
and consciences. He speaks to them \
as if they were his peers intellectually !
—which is a compliment to the Senate, j
Butler harangues them as if they were ;
no better than himself—which is an j
insult to the Senate. Curtis reasons

Forney's Pre** lias been thrown into
spasms again. 11 says the spirit of An
drew Johnson is breaking out among
the rank and file of the regular army,
it seems that the private soldiers at
Carlisle Barracks had a meeting the
other day, at which the following reso
lutions were adopted :
WJIKUEAS, The present great crisis in
the affairs of our Government seems to
demand the attention and earnest con
sideration of all good citizens, and for
obvious reasons, especially of the citizen
soldiers of the Republic, and in order by
our unanimity ever, to indicate to the
world something of the sentiments of
the rani; and file of the army, be it
Resolved, That the first great duty of
an American soldier is to support the
Constitution of the United States against
all its enemies and opposers whomso
ever.
Resolved, Thai we. recognize in its full
est signification the fact that the consti
tutionally elected President of the
United States is the Commander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navy, and the
person to whom our first and para
mount allegiance is due.
The Press scents the odor of lurking
treason in these really patriotic and sol
dier-like resolutions. We see in them
evidence of a love of country and a dis
position toaet as all American soldiers
should be expected to do. Is it not
true that "the first great duty of
an American soldier is to support
the Constitution of the United States
against all its enemies and opposers
whomsoever?" Is it not also true
that "the constitutionally elected
President of the United States is the
Commander-in-Chief of the Army and
the Navy, and the person to whom
their first and paramount allegiance is
due?" Until Congress attempte i to
usurp all the powers of the Executive,
no man in the country would have
doubted the patriotism of the excellent
resolutions adopted by the soldiers at
Carlisle.
But we do not wonder that the Press
is agitated over this matter. The Rad
ical leaders have been acting as if they
were counting without their host in
this matter. Should a conflict occur
in this country the rank and file of the
regular army would refuse to sustain
tha Radical usurpers and traitors who
| seem to be determined to support them
j selves in power by the use of military
' force. The muskets of these very men
; would be turned against those who
' would be found marshaled under the
I lead of Stevens and Sumner. This
! may be an ugly fact for the Radicals to
' recognize, but they have only to ad
vance a little further in their revolu-
I tionary designs to test the truth of
what we say. They might find the
negro regiments ready to sustain them,
but not those composed of white men.

A SPY IN CAMP.— A case is no
ted in an exchange paper, of a lady a
gentgoinground and selling ladie's"cor
sets," fitting them at remarkable low
prices, 'i he cheapness of the work iu
some cases, and the decided partiality
shown some of t he more beautiful grous
ed suspicion, and on the lady's being ar
rested she was found to be a young man
in disguise—fitting and selling just for
the fun of the thing. He says he has
passed through Maryland,Delawareand
Pennsylvania, and fitted corsets to sev
eral thousand young ladies.
SOMETHING FUE CUE L \LY. REAP
ERS.—There is a good deal of specula
tion and some curiosity in regard to
the new spring bonnets, which a sight
of them will hardly repay. There i.-<
absolutely very little.about them that
i- new. The shapes are the same as
last yo&r, varied a little in the ma
king and the trimming. They are r.s
small as ever, and incline decidedly
to the narrow flaring or standing brim,
with a crown, but 110 cape. The latter
is replaced by a lace fall, or matt Nth-,
which is crossed in front, and forms
second strings over ties made of nar
row ribbon.
The novelty, or one of them, is the
Calotte. This is made with a soft
crown and a small brim which retreats
at the sides, hut is verys lightly rolled.
A scarf of lace or frosted tulle finishes
it at the hack and forms second strings.
The "Metternich" lias a raised brim
and straight crown, split and caught
back, forming a kind of a revers.
The "Montpensier" has a high crow u
with the brim standing up; and the
"Columbia," named after some young
American Indies who have been the
the fashion in Paris this winter, has a
double brim, fan shaped, which is grace
ful upon some as it is unbecoming to
others.
The "Grand Duchesse" is a round
hat, turned up on one side, and trim
med with a wide scarf of lace, one end
of which is left hanging at the back.
The "Marie Antoinette" Has a high
er crown, and a wider, somewhat roll
ing brim. It may be trimmed with
blue ribbon or roses, or with a wreath ,
one end of which forms a cordon , which
descends upon the shoulders.
Very distinguished bonnets are of
black lace, frosted and trimmed with
steel, or of black lace trimmed with
natural grasses; and very simple yet
pretty straw bonnets arc trimmed with
several rows of narrow velvet dotted
with cut steel or fire gilt buttons, very
small, full velvet rosettes, and a lace
mantitte the color of the velvet.
Colored blondes and laces are among
the novelties in trimming, and largely
used. A pretty effect is also produced
by grey tulle, dotted with steel, over
grey crape. The ornaments are grey
velvet leaves frosted with steel.
NEWS FROM DR. LIVINGSTONE, THE
AFRICAN EXPLORER.— The United
States Consul at Zanzibar, under date
of Nov. 10, 1867, writing to the Secre
tary of State, says:
About a mouth ago a caravan arrived
at the port of Bngumoya, on the coast
of Africa, opposite thi> place, and one
of the leaders thereof reported that
while on their way, they met a Euro
pean traveler, who was accompanied
by twelve native attendants, and who
wrote letters to her and delivered
them to one of the members of the
caravan, who from some cause, re
remained behind, keeping the letter
with him. After the reports of the
different members of the caravan, her
Majesty's Consul felt perfectly satisfied
that the traveler in question could be
none other than the great explorer,
Dr. Livingstone, the report of whose
death was communicated to the de
partment under date of December 0,
1868, from this consulate. An influen
tial Arab who arrived fromQuillo yes
terday, informed me that while there
lie conversed with the chief of one of
the tribes of the interior, who inform
ed him that he had met Dr. Living
stone, whom he knew about eighteen
months ago. There seems, therefore,
to be room for hope that the reports of
his death brought by the probable
deserters from his party, are false, and
it is the opinion of all Europeans here
that the Doctor is still living.
FEMALE GAMBLERS.— The Wash
ington Chronicle, of Sunday last, is re
sponsible for the following announce
ment regarding one of the features of
Washington Society:
"It may appear to be a slightly sensa
tional statement, but it is none the less
true, that there are two fasionable
gambling houses, both within half a
dozen squares of the treasury building,
which are exclusively for the use of
ladies. One and perhaps the best furn
i-hed and most largely frequented, is
situated on Fourteenth street, while
the other is in the first ward, but a few
squares distant. At these places, at
nearly all hours of the day, may be
found richly dressed ladies, connected
with families whose standing is high
in the community, earnestly engaged
in faro, and staking their money with
an abandon that would excite surprise.
The sterner sex is rigidly excluded,
and the players feel themselves secure
from the intrusion ofjwatchful fathers
or angry husbands, while they, at the
same time place firm reliance on the
silence of their fair companions, who,
we will say, are quite select and respec
table, as the judgment of the crafty
proprietresses enables them to perceive
that the indiscriminate admission of
visitors would be injurious to their
interests.
To DESTROY TIIE CUT WORM.- I The
l*raficaf Farmer says an excellent plan
to keep off the cut worm from corn,
is to drop about a table-spoonful
of coarse salt on the top of the hill
soon after planting. This is carried
down by the rains, and acts as a fertil
izer, besides killing the cut worm.
Stilt is peculiarly obnoxious to this
class of insects, and perhaps all classes.
Instead of putting the salt on the hill,
some farmers spread about 8 bushels to
the acre broadcast, upon their corn
fields after plowing in and before har
rowing. This is a very profitable ap
plication. Farmers should hear these
facts in mind when they plant corn In
the coming spring.
MEN of the noblest disposition think
themselves happiest when others share
their happiness with them.
