POETRY.
ONE YEAE AGO.
\\ hat .stars have failed from our sky ?
j hat hopes unfolded hut to die?
| W hat dreams so fondly pondered o'er,
j Forever lost the hues they wore!
| j How like a death knell, sad and slow,
, Tolls through the soil, 'one year ago!'
: Where is the face we love to greet,
j The form that graced the fireside sent,
| The gentle smile, the winning way,
j That blessed our life-path day by day?
; W here fled those accents soft and low,
j I hat thrilled our hearts 'one year ago!'
i Ah, vacant is the fireside chair,
1 he smile that won, no longer there;
From door and hall, from jtoroli and lawn,
The echo of the voice is gone,
; And we who linger, only know
How much we lost, 'one year ago!'
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and night.
Serene she sleeps, nor heeds the tread
Of footsteps o'er her lowly bed;
Her pulseless breast no more may know
I The pangs of life, 'one year ago!'
. Rut why repine? A few more years,
A few more broken sighs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead.
.Shall follow where her stops have fled,
To that far world rejoicing go
To which she passed 'one year ago!'
A gentleman is said to have received a
bottle of delicious eider, accompanied by
the following lines:
Old friend, accept, t-his bottle,
Your mouth then open wider;
First to imbibe, then to exclaim
'By George, what glorious cider!'
Perhaps some fair young damsel.
Whose looks have ne'er belied her,
Will not object to take a swig.
When you sit down be—cider.
And then if she Indulges,
You may have to guide her;
But she will say it's owing to
The rtuff which is in—eiuer.
i When genial grown, remember—
If you have never tried her—
To pop the question, and be sure
The spirit will de —eider.
MISGERLARrY".
Geu. Butler at Harrisfcurg.
By invitation of the Legislature,
minus the cops, Gen. Butler, a lite long
democrat who the moment lie discov
ered that tho object of the Southern
j democracy was -disunion, took up arms
' and has never since ceased to denounce
them, spoke at Harrisburgon Wednes
j day evening last to an immense gath
ering of people. Had his energetic
mode ot dealing with he and she rebels
at Xew Orleans and other places been ;
| adopted by our general officers through
out tho south, this rebellion would
; have closed with a very different re
sult from that which Andrew Johnson
•is endeavoring to give it. We give
I some extracts front his speech :
I return my most cordial thanks ior
the high honor and courtesy shown
1110 by this reception. I must attri
i bute it, and not in any term of self
: abnegation, the loyal feeling you have
to tho country, and as s recognition of
j an endeavor on my pas tto aid in the
struggle which has so lately almost
happily terminated. We can congrat
, ulate ourselves, gentlemen, if not on
'j tho return of peace yet, on tho cessa
tion of all armed hostility to tho Gov
i eminent of the Union. For four years
j wo have been called upon to send our
; bravest ar.d dearest to the field of bat.
tie, there to peril life in bchatf of their
I country's honor. That period has
j terminated, and if the anticipation to
which, during tho dark and bloody
struggle, wo all looked forward, bad
been realized, that when war would
, ceaso peaco indeed would come, and
the authority of the Union, as upheld
by true loyal men, should bo estab
lished, then, indeed, we should feel
I that the Wood of ou-r sons had not been
I sued in vain. £Applaaso] Therefore,
; I suppose, wo may assume that it is in
the hearts of overy one present, as
; iu ray own, to ask oacb ono of us, in
words almost like tho cuestion ot
the old watchman, 'What cf the hour?'
—for each hour creates a new feature
iu the political condition of the coun
i tr >'- .
It is not with anger, but with sor
row; not with doubt, but in the reas
i enable exercise of judgment that i fc&l
bound to say what I believe every truo
man will echo, however painful that
; echo ma}' be, that what wo thought
j we had gained by the struggle hub not
yet come to us; and if not, why not?
On the surrender of tho rebel forces,
when 16,000 of tho e-neruy were aur
| rendered to the victorious armies of
I tho United States, numbering a mil.
j inion men; with every vestige of armed
resistance blotted out; when their great
leader, their representative man in the
l civil government of the Confederacy
i was captured at the head of his fugi
tive guards, and when the nation shud
! dered at the most horrible assassina
tion of our chosen and beloved Presi
dent; at that hour, when we thought
j that that cruel deed might possibly be
; avenged, and just retribution, other
than the execution (if the poor, half
innocent instruments of that crime, in
i comparison with the crime of the great
I leader, be visited at that hour.
I I ay wc saw a condition of things
and each man of you will agree with
me, i doubt not—we had but to im
press the true stamp of our loyalty
upon the South and it would have re
ceived and retained that impress.—
• Jloes any one doubt that at the time
I if Congress had been called together,
and if the co-ordinate branches of the
' Government had then agreed, as upon
| other extraordinary occasions, on a
policy ol reconstruction, if reconstruc
tion was needful, or a policy upon
j which those troubles which now threat
en the country might be settled, can
any ono doubt that if Congress atul the
President had agrerd upon a policy,
; that that policy would have been the
settled law ol the land, to which each
; man Xorth and South would have ren
j dered willing obedience. Suppose, for
| example, that Congress and its Presi
dent had agreed at that day, and
! it had been proclaimed by the law
| making power, rendered certain by
; Executive concurrence, that the great
representative leader of the rebellion,
Jetierson Davis, who, having left the
Senate of the United States for the
purpose of taking the lead of the re
bellion, should be tiied for his crime,
and if found guilty, convicted and
punished, as an example to all others
in like case. Or if General Lee, who,
; on the HUh April deserted from the
flag and the army for the purpose of
taking command of the armed farces :
I of the enemies of the United States, i
| had been tried and punished, as every j
; soldier who deserts his flag to com
mand the armies of his country's one- ;
tuies should be punished by everv law,
civil, military, human, and, I might
almost say, divine. If it had been
; proclaimed that every man who had
left the Union army, and every man
who had left the halls of Congress of
tho United States, should leave his I
country for his country's good within '
the next sixty days, and if it should i
then have been declared that all men !
who had taken an active part in the j
rebellion, and had thereby forfeited 1
their rights as citizens, should there i
after remain without any share in the
political power of the United States
—if that had been done, does anv one |
doubt that peace, quietness, and I iyai- |
ty would have reigned in every State j
in the South? Ifi am right, then we j
are not to complain because wo see I
now that tho best thing to be done was !
not done; but as 1 have only sketched i
before you substantially what the I
President of the C niton States, at that !
time, as I understood both from his ,
public speeches and his private declar ,
ations, said what was the best thing to i
be done. We have a right, in all fair j
ncss of criticism of what has happened, 1
to at least regret he had not done j
what our judgments now tell us was j
best to bo done, and what his judg
ment at that time told him, and ho told
us was best to be done. Put what has
happened tdneo the whole South, which
stood ready to receive tho imprint of
our institutions, ot our laws, and of
our wishes; now, under the hlattfof
things which has supervened, have
eouio up to claim what they claim to
be their rights—their power and their
places again in the Congress of the
United States, to make laws for us—
at id I understand the question to day
which divides the country and divides
the Presideut and tho majority of those
who supported him in this: Shall
thot-e me, hcretofcro in rebellion, i
without and guarantee that they will
r.ot do again what they have done bo
fore, bo received back and allowed to
make laws for us? and upon that quos
tion, my friends, I will endeavor to
give you some few of tho ideas which
lio uppermost in my mind as the reas
on why this course should net be taken
for tcpoo. no otiier question is there any
division between the President and 1
tho party which put him in power,
and between thorn and the opposing
party, if so small a fragrant as is re
presented in congress can be called *
party. The division is this, and 1
think no loyal man and no man who
fought in tho tight of the last four
years can. doubt whore his p1a.06 is uaw.
Shall we rcccivo these men back with
out guarantee, without surety, with
out repentance, even to places which
they voluntarily dosortod? There are
reasons why I think every loyal man
would say 'Xo.'
The first, not in significance, and por
hans not in order ; but first " o miv
aawas-siwsra saamdw oarasysrir, jKsssr*
{ discuss is this : What right have they
, to come back ; Why, it is said in tho
■ first place that the States of this
| Union could not secede from the Union.
| That we fought to prevent the States
from seceding, and that if tho Stales
I are not out of the Union, then these
men have their rights in the Union as
i tho representatives of those States,
i I here are two answers to be made to
that; lir.at. that no representative in
Congress who represents a State here.
. represents a district, and no district as
I such, I believe, attempted to rebel, but
1 that would bo a technical answer, and
j not one to he favored, and as I may be
told by any astute Senator on the floor,
j one that would hardly apply ; but the
; broader and wider, more statesman
' like and just ansWer would seem to be
that the question to be here decided is
! not whether the .State is iu or out of
! the Union, but whether communities
| who were States, who repudiated all
their obligations uls citizens of the
I United and who took .upon
, themselves new obligations to u body
; which they erected, called the Confed
erate States. a<i who fought for four
years to get rid of the power and au
thority of the United States, and who,
at sometime or other, did get rid of
| that power and authority for a longer
j or shorter time during those four years;
i sought to make .alliances with foreign
! countries, and to dismember the Union
1 in every form possible, and <iu every
1 conceivable damage to the rest of the
j country ; whether these States have a
' right in the Union as part of the Gov
; eminent of the Union. It is not
; whether the people have a right to the
protection of the Union, and not wheth
er a Territory is within the Union, be
cause 1 am not one of those who re
pudiate entirely the idea which is now
sent to us from the South, and which ;
I was very sorry to hear echoed, on '
tho 22<1 of February, from the steps of!
the \\ bite House, that wo who do not
think these men ought to come back
at once tiro disuuionists. We don't
by any means agree upon any possible
proposition that wo are disuuionists. j
For one, I claim that not one foot of
territory of the United States was
ever out of the Union. I claim again
that no citizen of the United States on
its soil has ever got out of the Union j
1 cluiVn further that no citizen of the-
United States has ever rid himself of!
a single obligation to the United States.
[A great applause.] I claim fuithcr
that no citizen has ever got rid of one
particle of governing power of tho
United States as exercised over him
either fa restrain him in wrong or
aid him in right, cr to make him do'
his duty both as a citizen of his State j
and as a citizen of the United States
[Long continued applause ] But I am
told I am a Uisunionist because I don't
choose to recognize that an organiza.
tion of a State governrnc-nI which, by
the people that made it, was made i
hostile to the United States, and which i
fought tiio United States for four years
as a part of tho United States, when
I insist that that was not a living or
vital part of the Government of the
United States. I do not want to be
called a disunionist, for I only insist
that disloyal men, with their bayonets
at my throat, are uot a portion of those
who are voting with mo and acting
with n;e in the Government of the
United States; they are now a por
tion of the United States without any
intervening act I do not se why
they are not, when for instance, they
were carrying on tho battle of Manas
sas. I do not sec why, if this theory is
correct, their representatives had not
as much right to sit in Congress and
vote whether McClellan should or
should net go forward. Ask your
own representatives from Pennsylvania
was the ease changed when they laid
down their arms. Hid that bring them
back? I know of no better illustration j
of this point than by taking the case j
of a partnership where numbers ol'part- i
ners go togther in a transaction with j
partnership capital, and after a time (
two or three of them choose to icuve ;
the partnership against the consent of ■
the others; can they take tho partner- '
ship property with them against the
compact by which the partnership was
formed ? Can they destroy tho part
nership ? They can, as far as they are
concerned; feat can they themselves |
go out of tho partnership for all pur-1
*posos of destroying their own right ?
They can. Can they come back into
the partnership? Xo, not until the
rest of tho partners get ready. [Long
cot?ttnod applause.] Tho speaker j
then said that he would nut have tukeu ,
notice of the slander against the loyal
men of tho country, charging trvom
with being disuuionists, but for tho re
portable quarter from which it eamo. |

: cause no man who stood in Congress
! was more honored bv the loyal men of
j the ration than was Thaddeus Stevens.
. He was here to ask whether Pennsv!-
! vania approved of the appellation of
I traitor as applied to that honored Rep
resentative ? He asked how did these
States go out ? but by this query lie did
j not imply that they took a single foot
I o! territory from under the jurisdiction
, of the United States, or made the dil
lereneo ot a single hair in the relations
: of the Government, but each seceder
had risen in his place and said, 'now
| my State has gone out, and I am gw-
I ing out of Congress," and then took
; his hat and left, taking care to go by
the way of the sergeant-at-arms' office,
and to draw bis salary—perhaps thero
was neither law nor constitutional ob
ligation to prevent these men from do
ing that, lint suppose that, having
taken themselves out of Congross, and
their States bad refused to endorse
their acts, would any one say that they
should resume their seals before Con
gress voted that they were entitled to
them ? And suppose that the const ilil-
I cuts of a representative who had thus
J withdrawn from Congress applauded
j bis act and sustained him, then it
would be conceded that, as that man
himself could not come back into
| Congress without the vote of that
body, could that constituency at whoso
instance this withdrawal had taken
place, and another man to take the
place of their former Representative
before Congress said they might do so,
would any man pretend Congress
could not properly inquire by what
right that Representative came hack?
He contended that the arms of the
Government had capturod the public
enemies, with all their lands, negroes
and property ; and why not their eon
6tituth>nal rights, if thev had any?
But the South based its claims upon
the terras of surrender to Grant and
Sherman, which ternrs were that they
might go home and live unmolested-,
so long an thej- behaved well. No po
litical cr governmental right wan giv
en thorn i y tli-one terms; but in the
surrender ot their representatives in
the field the people lately in rebellion
had surrendered every right to whi-ch
they had ever been -entitled. The
great contest appeared to be, whither
the truly loyal men of the South or
those who had boon disloyal should be
represented in Congress
A Petrified Australian-.
Tho London Daily News says that
a petrified Australian male aboriginal
had just arrived in England. This
singular specimen of petrification was
found in one of the stone caverns
which abound at Musquilo plains,
South Australia. It was lying in a
natural position; as if having fallen
asleep; and a .Mr. Craig, who was in
the colony at the tin\e in search of cu
riosities, got possession of the 'black
fellow' for the purpose of adding him
to his collection. Traveling with his
singular burden wrapped in a blanket
for nearly ct-.-c hundred miles, he rea-oh
ed Mount Gambia, where his move
ments attracted suspicion; and the
Crown Lands Ranger, ascertained that,
his burden was a human being,sought
tho advice of a higher power and re
lei ved him of his prize. An action of
trover was immediately commenced,
and Mr. Craig succeeded in obtaining
a verdict, with daciagos -one farthing.
Tho government, however, refused to
give p tR-e 'stone or other material,'
which was again placed in the cave.—
Mr. Craig, however, again went to
work, and despite tho heavy iron bars
with which it was guarded and tho
hardships he endured, managed to re
gain It, and brought it in safety to
England.
Josh Billiugs on 'Bilijarda.'
Everybody seems tew he gifting

It iz plade on the top c>v a tabel
which iz a little longer than it iz square,
and the gamo seems to kunsist in push
in sum round red bawls agin sum round
white bawls until tha drop into sum
litllo pudding hags which are hung
onto tho outside ov the tabel.
It takes 2 men to pla the gattve, but

They take oph their cotes and stand
ciusa up tow tho tabel, with a short
piece oi fibli poie in their hands, which
has a click mark onto the ond ov it.
Then one begins by giving one ov
the bawls a punch in the belly, which
sends it a gin tho nc?:t cn-o't belly, and
so ou till the toth-er foiter'u t?:rn for
punching comes on.
But yu ought to se tho game; itkani
