A. SICK MAN'S DREAM
This beautiful piece of poetry was written by the late
Judge Robert 'Raymond Reed, of Georgia, afterward
Governor of Florida It has never appeared in print
before, and the lady for whom it was penned—now a
resident of our city—has kindly consented to give it to
the public through our columns. It is one of those
choice yet unobtrusive gems, struck out from a rich
mine of thought, that has only to see the light to have
its beauties appreciated —Montgomery (Ala.) Journal.
Methought that in a sacred wood,
I slumbered on a bank of flowers.
Soothed by a streamlet's wandenng flood,
That gurgled thro' the whispering bowers;
Aud dreams did visit me—so bright,
An Elysium only could beget them;
They brought me such intense delight,
I never, never can forget them.
It seemed that thou avert present there,
Thine eyes with living lustre beaming;
The star of too ' g decked thy hnir,
And all around its radiance streaming,
Imparted to tiny lip—thy cheek—
The lnrightiness of immortal glory;
0! we cunt infer such visions seek,
But ins some old romantic story!
And near thee hung a lyre of gold,
Beneath a Lower of sanding roses—
Rose:—like those that love enfold,
When from hie tails the god reposes
And when thy finger., touched the wings,
They yielded number*, rich and swelling*,
Al when some %Pint sweetly sings
At evening, from her viewless dwelling.
Yet changeful was that music strain,
It told of hope, of youth, nod gladness;
Of pleasure's wreath, of true love's chain,
And then of blighted joys and sadness,
At tact mt answering voice there came,
rrom a bright cloud that then descended,
And while it spoke a quivering flame
Was with the fleecy whiteness blended.
I may not tell the words so kind,
By that name plaintive voice then spoken;
For the dark nittlitostorin's rudest wind
Came der my dream, and it was broken.
But lady, trancuil be thy hours,
And smooth the patk.of life before thee,
For surely, from celestial boxer,
Some happy spirit watches o'er thee!
For the Columbia Spy

"DON'T ILLUMINATE.'
We are indebted to our London Correq
pondont, for the following placard; which
has been posted about ull parts of the British
metropolis:
"People of England—Don't illuminate.—
Save your money.
"It is wasteful stupidity to stick candles
in your windows by way of rejoicing for
peace.
"It will be time enough to rejoice for
peace when you have some of the fruits of
peace.
'•lt will be time enough (if the money is
to be wasted) to light up your windows,
when there is an end of the war taxes; when
the doublo income tax is taken off; when the
war tax on tea, and the war tax on sugar
are taken off.
"It will be time enough to light up (if
there is to be such child's play by way of
of rejoicing) when we know the cost of the
war, and have done adding to the national
debt, to pay for the blunders and misman
agement, and disgraceful waste of the war.
"Save your money—don't illuminate. It
will be time enough to throw money away
on illumination, when time proves that the
peace is an honorable peace, an honest
peace, a real peace, a peace to last. It may
turn out to be a mere sham—a mere paper
peace.
"Saco your money—don't illuminate.—
Rejoice in your homes, and in your hearts,
that there is peace. Thank God that there
is peace. Pray God that it may continue.—
But save your money—don't illuminate.—
The war has cost us thousands of brave men.
Spare your money for their widows and
orphans.

"Don't illuitinate. Shopkeepers, work

candle., the gas, the lamp=, the fittings,
would cost. Remember the siege of Kars;
remember the deahs by hunger in Kars—
the agony of mutters laying down their
children dying of longer at the command

the Russians—the lain applications for aid
—the neglected desmtahes—the bravery of
Gen. Williams.
"Don't illuminate Have the guilt of the
fall of Kars search.d out, and the guilty,
however high, pnnifhed.

"Look up the li of read heroes in the

"Don't illuminate—save your money.—
Insist that the Wane of the sufferings of
the army in the Crinea shall be brought

real, fearless; that tie guilty, lie they who
they may, shall be cisgraced and punithe I.
"Don't illuminati. The lighting up
throughout Englam. would cog a half n
million. In Loudon alone, the illumination
would ; one way- or other, cut a hundred
thousand pounds.
"Don't illuminate—care the money. The
money the light would cost would found a
glorious college for the people. An English
college—a commercial college—a college
where the working-man could send his son,
and have him taught as well as the highest
in the land. A college that would train men
to be good civil servants of the state—good
soldiers—good cotnmanders.
"Don't illuminate—put by at once,—put
by honestly, the pounds, the shillings, the
pence it would cost you to illuminate—the
money you would spend on cabs and cars to
see the illuminations.
"Save the money to be called for, to

"Save it to be called for to do honor to the
heroes of the war.
"Save it, to do honor to the correspond
ents of the newspaper, who have, in the
face of danger and difficulty, in camp mid
in battle, kept those at home in knowledge
of the facts of the war, and who stood by
the common soldier, and fought with their
pens for truth and right, and the honor of
England.
Don't illuminate. Rejoice in the peace
as men of sense—as Christian men—spend
the money for real, permanent national

Don't let them. Anger is a pure waste of

OMMI9-
MOORISH BEGGARS
It is a common observation of those who
have visited Mahometan countries, that no
present of pure liberality should be made to
either Turks or Moors, lest it introduce
custom, which, when the advantage is on
their side, is insi , ted upon as a law, both at
Algiers and at the Levant. This has laid
the consuls under the inconvenience ofmak
ing many presents to those in the adminis
tration, when their predecessors had some
private end in setting the example. If a
stranger on any particular occasion, makes
a present to a Turk or Moor, be constantly
demands it on the like occurrence, and his
successors look upon it as an established
perquisite of their employment.
The practice of extortion is so burdensome
and so frequent, that liberality cannot be
too much on its guard. In the year 'Gm
in the reign of !Logi Chaban Dey, a Greek
merchant, who resided at Algiers, used al
most every year to make a voyage to Tunis,
or Egypt, retailing his cargo. A country
man of his dying, left him his executor, and
among other pious legacies, a certain sum
for charitable uses. One day the merchant
passing by a Moor, who was sitr. • ".• the

industry in making thread laces, w ten in
capable of other work. He dropped him
his handful of aspors, which unusual sight
so transported the beggar, that he followed
the merchant upon his crutches, calling out
upon heaven to Shower down its blessings
upon him. The beggar did not leave fol
lowing his benefactor, till be discovered his
house, and afterwards took past in a place
where the merchant must daily pass by
him. Nett day the Moor implored
charity, and the Greek repeated it, which
gained him great reputation, and a crowd
of customers. the Mahometan priests were
not wanting to proclaim the virtue which
God had given to this chatitable Greek, who
finding the sweets of a charity which really
cost him nothing. eon tinned his daily bencv
olence till the time of his departure from
Egypt. Thu beggar still kept his post, but
missing his benefactor, he inquired after
him and had the mortification to hear that ,
he had gone out of the kingdom. When' ;
his clerk passed by, he used to lift up his
hands and pray for his master's happy re
turn, which happened five or six months af-;
ter. Tbe beggar was overjoyed to see him:
and when the merchant, in return for his
compliments, was going to bc.tow his char
ity upon him, •leclined it, saying it was bet
ter to pay him for all his arrears at once.—
The Greek told him he did not know what
he meant by arrears. To which the other
replica, that he had been absent near six
months, and conrcquently that there was
about one hundred ana eighty rails duo.—
The Greek did not know whether the fel
low's impudence deserved most to be laugh
:ed at, or cluthtisetl. But the Moor laid his
complaint before the Bey, and the Creek
merchant was seat for to make his defence.
The Moor alleged that the merchant had,
for the continuance of a whole month, daily
given him a rail, but that this charity had
greatly increased his customers. and been a
fund of riches; and that as to himself, upon
, such a daily income, he was very glad to
leave off working: which from having nearly
lost his sight, had become very painful to
hint; that the merchant went away without
giving hint the least notice that his pension
was to cease: that he had still kept at his
post, praying to God for his return; besides
that relying upon his accustomed liberality,
he lutd contracted some debts for his Rap
port; but upon demanding his arrears, the
merchant had laughed at him, and threat
ened to chastise him.
The Greek did not disown the truth of the
premises, but insisted that alms being a
voluntary action, its continuance depended
upon the will of the doner. After s discus
sion of the affair in council, the merchant
was condemned to pay the beggar a rial for
every day since his departure, to the day of
his decision, with a piastre over and above
as a compensation for his reproaches. He
empowered him at the same time to declare
that it was his intention never to give him
any alms or gratuity for the time to come.
This the merchant many times protested, ad
ding, that such a sentence would not soon
be forgotten.
The story bare related is given on the an
tbority of a respectable traveller; and we

have no reason to doubt its truth. Nay, we
who live in a christian land may too often
discover a striking analogy between the
Moorish beggar's idea of justice, and the
conduct of many who clamorously demand
as a right, that which they have been long
accustomed to receive as a benefaction.—
Happily we have no law to enforce such a
demand; but we have a powerful word to
mark our sense of such conduct—and that
THE GREAT FRAUD UPON THE
RAILROAD DU NORD;
ROW TILE AFFAIR WAS DONE.
Charpentier, the principal of this immense
breach of trust, conducted the affair with a
coolness, a method, a surety of execution
which denotes a great aptitude for financial
transactions. He is but twenty-tire years
of age, and was a man of high life—what
we would call a fast loan. It is remarka
ble how this fact could have escaped M.
Rothschild's attention. On one occasion in
company with one of the directors of the
company, Charpentier left fall a hundred
franc bill. His companion made a motion
to pick it up, when Charpentier, with his
tine patent leathers, kicked it into the fire
with the exclamation, "How! mon Cher, do
you stoop to pick up such rags as that?"—
He had a residence in town, another in the
country, Le., and all without other ostensi
ble resource thati his seven thousand francs
annual sallery. His predecessor who en
joyed a sallery of ten thousand francs, har
ing died, the administration of the company
said to themselves, "Here is a chance to
make three thousand francs; let us make
young Charpentier cashier," which was I
done.
Charpentier was about to marry a young
girl at Rouen, daughter of a merchant of
that place. Two weeks ago he asked and
obtained permission to go and see his inten
ded, to arrange preliminaries "for the hap
piest day of his life," &c., and he departed.
But the father of Charpentier, an honest
and assiduous clerk in the banking house of
M. Rothschild, received a letter a few morn
ings afterwards from the father of the young
lady in question, who was growing tired of
the delay, and demanded that the delinquent
should be "forwarded by return of post."
W tereu t o. tier hastened to I

"Your ion,""ther replied, "has been at
Rouen more than forty-eight hours.
"Xo, he is not there."
"Yes."
"No."
"Let sonic one call Grele." [Grele is the
assistant cashier.] Ile appears and is in
terrogated—
'•I)o you know where Charpentier is'!"
"At Rouen," responds Monsieur Grele,
with the most honest air possible.
"They say that he has not been seen
there."
"Ah that is even possible; he had a de
sire to pass by Trouvilio. He is just the
kind of fellow that would like to amuse him
self two or three days on the road."
"That's a pity," replied one of the direc
tors, far from conceiving the least suspicion;
"this direction has precisely need of his pres
ence for an urgent affair, with the intention
of giving him leave of absence later on.—
Suppose you go after him at Trouville."
"Me, Monsieur! And my cash box?"
"No matter for that. To-morr3w is Sun
day; you have thirty-six hours before you,
which is more than you need to find your
self at your post Monday morning."
'•Conic my dear Grele, it iM service which
the direction begs of you •'
"I will go, 3l , nisieur, I will go. Will
you receive my cash box before I strut?"
`Certainly."
Aud the director called en employee,
vdmm he charged to accomplish that for
mality.
Grelo opens his box, displays to the daz
zled eyes of the deputy an array of twelve
hundred thousand francs in gold, sil ver, and
hills, hands over the keys, and takes sudden
leave for Calais, where his friend and ac
complice, Charpentier, awaits him with the
proceeds of the 5,74; shares substracted from
the safes and sold under the no.e of the em
ployees whom the company pay forty francs
a day to watch over its interests.
At Liverpool, where the two hastened, a
third accomplice had already secured their
passage on a steamer to New York, and, in
company with a trio of ladies, the party set
sail for America.

I never could persuade myself that that is
a happy match.. The very idea of a young
girl of eighteen marrying a girl old enough
to be her grandfather. Why the thought
drives me quite frantic—only think of a
fidgety, pussy, old fashion, notion fogy wed

What will she do for balls, parties and flirt

There is that handsome nephew of his—
hut wasn't the old uncle cunning not to per
mit him to show his face outside the college
door until he succeeded in securing his prize
first—if I was Ellen, wouldn't I get up a
tremendous flirtation; and if there was any
jealousy in the old man, wouldn't I bring
it out with a vengeance? Wouldn't I let
him see he had woke up the wrong one--
Wouldn't I take a notion to go to the opera
or somewhere else when I knew he could
not go, just for the sake of having his neph
ew as an escort. It was all folly for Ellen
to marry that old man; I feel satisfied gold
was the bait there, for he has no other at
traction as I see. But girls will make them
selves ridiculous occasionally.

to the inn, demanded to be shown Jenny's
