Ruheirse no more those gloomy tales
Of doubt, distrust and fears ;
Close up the well-worn ann 1s
That stain the page of years
My beart is iu 1ts springstiue,
And life is © -erywhere ;
1 pray thee press a cautious foot
Amid the blossoms there.
The lingering light of childhood
Still smiles above the throng,
And hope deferred and trust deceived
To coming days belong.
Tell mo of songs that ever sound
Beneath unclouded skis ;
Or speak of fath that fuils not
And truth that never dies,
And frown not ocr the rainbow
That spans the morning star ;
It fades a8 quickly as it formed
Before we journey far.
Enter my spirit’s thereshold
When Hope has furled her wing,
Ard lay upon the fireless shrine
Your gloomy offering.
Come when the dust of noontide,
‘That cleaves to later hours
Fas gathered all the precious dew
And stained the trampled flowers.
1'll tell you where the flow’rets closed,
And when the blight came on,
And how the day-dreams vanished
Until the last was gone ;
Cr when my fest grow weary,
And every azure ray
15 sleeping 1a the yellow gleam
Of Life's departing day.
Cowe when the setting sunshine
Gleams down the darkened glen--
We'll sit beneath the shadows dim
And read the record then.

I'he Negro Brig.de organized
by General Hunter has yroved an
unmitigated failnre. Out of eight
Liundred contrabands on the mus-
ter roll, there were some five hun-
dred who ¢ skedadled,” and many
of the remainder felt ko uneasy
under military control and disci-
pline, that they watched for op-
pertunities to escape. Those who
have deserted have mostly joined
the rebels.
On Saturday last, a rumor pre-
vailed around Hilton Head that
the famous negro brigade would
be disbanded that afternoon.
The rumor of the disbandment
proved correct ; for General Hun-
ter had despatched an Adjutant
and several officers to Elliott’s
plantation, where the brigade
was in camp.
On the arrival of these officers
their purpose soon spread threugh
the camp—creating the wildest
joy among the “soldiers.” The
fragmentary remnant of the brig-
ade soon fell into line, and were
officially disbanded. They were
delighted, but not more so than
the white troops. The ex-sold-
iers rushed to and fro, and were
soon busy in making preparations
for their homes in Beaufort and
other places.
A short time since, five deser-
ters from the negro brizade were
captured while sailing with arms,
ammunition, §c., in a boat at
Seabrook Ferry towards the
main land, occupied by the rebels.
They were placed n irons,
and are now confined at the Rip
Raps,
A letter to the Herald says:
The experiment of negro sold-
iers has been tr'ed They will
not answer the purpose for which
‘they were created. Whether
General Hunter’s course was ad-
opted with a view to strengthen
the army, or to benefit the con-
trabands, or to build up popular-
ity for himself, it has certainly
proved unsuccessful ; and so, with
less ceremony than attended its
beginning, it has been abandoned.
The conservative policy of the
Administratiom has not been
without its effect in closing the’
military career of the negroes ;
but I nevertheless believe that
General Hunter had become thor-
oughly convincep that they would
never be of any benefit either to
him or his command. Placing
them on a level with white sold-
iers, who came hither from their
comfortable homes to fight for
their country at thirteen dollars
a month, had no good effect upon
the volunteers. The negroes,
before insolent aud supercilious,
became more so as they were el-
evated; and instead of being
treated kindly, as they had for-
merly been, the spirit of dissat-
isfaction begotten by their gay
uniforms and fine airs vented its-
elfin sundry and divers kicks and
cuffs and jeers, which kept both
ant and continual foment. Now
that the negroes are returned to
the plantations and to the work
shops, where they belong, and
the work of ending the rebellion
is recommitted to the hands of
white men, we may hope for a
better state.of feeling, not only
in this department, but through-
out the country.

Gen. Clay's Farewell to Russia.
The following were Cassius M.
Clay’s remarks to the Czar on
leaving Russia to return to this
conntry. He isexpected to ar-
rive in a few days.
Your Imperial Majesty will see
from the letter of the President
of the United States, which I have
the honor to bear, that he recalls
me at my own request. Had I
consulted my pleasure rather than
my duty, I should not have ex-
changed the attractions which
surround your Imperial Majesty’s
Court for the hardships and dan-
gers of the field of battle. By
this devotion to my country, your
Imperial Majesty will measure
the depth of my gratitude that
you have magnanimously stood
by us in our time of need, of hu-
miliation, and of national peril.
That gratitude is felt by every
lover of our great republic, at
home and abroad. Should I sur-
vive the war to enjoy that more
stable peace which I believe God
reserves for our country, it shall
be the purpose of my life to cul-
tivate and strengthen that grati-
tude for your Imperial Majesty,
your house and your people. My
countrymen know already what
you have been to us—I shall tell
them of the clemency, of the firm-
ness, of the sublime courage which
your Imperial Majesty displays
in your magnanimous efforts for
the progress and glory of your
own people. To have personally
known and enjoyed the gracious
consideration of the most illustri-
ous among living men who will
be known at all time, not as the
Czar of all the Russias, but as
Alexander II., will be to me the
most precious of lifes memories.
Sed in leaving your Imperial
presence, I go to mingle my as-
firations with the great millions
of the Western world, that God
will prosper and have in His holy
keeping your Imperial Majesty
your Imperial house, and the for-
tunate millions of people under
your paternal rule.
A Reugrovs Dog.—The N. Y.
correspondent of the Boston
Journal is responsible for the
following :
In the ancient and beautiful
town of Chatham, New York, is
a very remarkable dog, whose
character and behavior would
excite the admiration of all good
men. On week days he is a dog
of like passions and behavior
with other animals, but on Sun-
day his peculiarities and secta-
rian prejudices shine out. Un-
like the crow, he can count, and
knows when Sunday comes.—
He isnot the same then as on
other days. He indulges in no
pastimes. He encourages no
company and no famiiarity. He
says in action louder than words
to the vain and canine race—Six
days shalt thou play and do all
your sports.
The family are all Presbyte-
rians, but the dog is a Methodist.
On Sunday mornings he attends
the family on their way to church
leaves them at the house of the
Lord where they attend, and
goes on his solitary and unbro-
ken way till he comes to the
Methodist church, which is a lit-
tle further on. When he reach-
es the church, he goes up-stairs,
and has a pirticular place in
which he sits; and when an in-
truder ventures into his place, no
belle or madam of fashion, who
goes sweeping up the aisle of
Grace and finds a plebian in her
elegant pew, can give more de-
cided indication of displeasure
and annoyance than does the dog
His seat yielded, he attends the
services with decorum, and pays
dogmatical attention to the word
of Scripture. Every Sunday he
can be seen on his way to church
foul weather as in fair—and his
denomieational prejudices are as
well known as those of any gen-
tleman in town.
The times are hard. If they
get much harder, we may look
whites and blacks in an unpleas-
out for breakers
A countryman (farmer) went
into a store in Boston the other
day, and told the keeper that a
neighbor of his "had entrusted
him with some money to be spent
to the best advantage, and he
ment to do it where he would be
treated the best.
He had been used very well in
Boston by the traders, and would
not part with his neighbor’s mon-
ey until he found a man that
would treat him about right,
With the utmost suavity the tra-
der says:
I think I can treat you to
your likmg ; how do you want to
be treated ¥’
‘Well’ says the farmer, with a
leer in his eye, ‘in the first place
I want a glass of toddy,” which
was forthcoming. ‘Now I will
have a nice cegar,’ says the coun-
tryman. It was promptly hand-
ed him, leisurely lighted, and
then throwing himself back,
with his feet as high as his head,
he commenced pulling away like
a Dutchman.
‘Now, what do you want to
purchase ?’ says the storekeeper.
‘My neighbor handed me two
cents when I left home to buy
a plug of tobacco,” answered the
farmer, <have you got the article.
The storekeeper sloped instan-
ter, and the next thing that was
heard of him was that his sides
were shaking and his face on fire
as he was relating the sell to his
friends down town.
A Scuoor Boys Praxk.—Two
bsys of tender age, who went by
the name of Tom and Jack, be-
came members of a district school
in a certain town. On making
their appearance, the teacher
calle 1 them up before the assem-
bled school, and proceeded to
make certain interrogatories con-
cerning their names, ages, pa-
rents &.
« Well, my fine lag,” said the
teacher toone, “what is your
name ?”
“Tom, sir,” very promptly
responded the juvenile.
¢ Tom docs not sound well.—
Remember always speak the full
name. You should have said
Thom-as.”
Then turning to the other boy
whose expectant face suddenly
lighted up with the satisfaction of
a newly comprehended idea ; the
teacher inquired :
. ¢« Now, then, my son, can you
tell me what your name is ?”
« Jack-ass !”’ replied the lad
in a tone of confident decision,
“The sole responsibility of ou’
Disagr_ement, and the only diffi-
culty in the way'of an Amicable
Adjustment, is with the Republi-
can party.—Senator- Douglas, Jan,
