Whero the tired hands cease their striving,
And the tried heart aches no more.
In that land of light and r.eauty,

When the spirts who await me
Meet me at my entering in.

Not the one so dimmed with earth stains.
Linked with thoughts of grief and blame-
No the name which mortals give me
Will not be my angel name!
I have heard it all too often
Uttered by unloving lips;
Earthly care, and sin. and sorrow,
Dim it with their deep eclipse;
I shall change it like a garment
When I leave this mortal frame,
And at Life's immortal baptism

For the anirols will not call me
By the name I bear on earth—

Whore 1 have my hotier birth.
Uyllabeled in heavenly music.
Sweeter l.irthan earth may claim —
Very gentle, pure, and tender—

Only till the morning heatns;

A Cabinet Meeting—Letters from Rev. Hen
ry Ward Beecher, Gen. Custar, Henry J.
Raymond and Hon. John Morrissey.
OoN FED KIT X IvOAUS, |
(wicli is in theStait uv Kentucky,) ,-
November 7, lKtjti. )
1 wuz called to Washington by our
patron Saint, the President, to comfort
his wounded sperit. There ain't no
disguisin the fact, the sperit of Androo
Johnson is wounded. He hez endoor
ed the slings and arrers uv more ont
rajiis fortune than any other man who
hez lived since the days uv liamlick
more, indeed, than liamlick endoored
twict over. Hamlick's lather wuz
pizoned and bis mother married agin
afore her mourning clothes wuz wore
out, suthin on savin, prudent woman
would do; hut what wuz that to wat.
A. Johnson eudoors every day?—
Nothin.
The Cabinet meetin to wich I wnz
summoned wuz called for the purpose
uv sheddin a tear or two over the elec
tion returns, and to consider a variety
uv letters wich His Eggscoliency had
received within a few days. I may re
mark that the Cabinet hod a gloomy
and mildewed look.
The fust wuz from Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. Mr. Beeeher remarked that
he hed the highest possiblerespeek for
the ortis wunst held by the good Wash
ington, the great Adams and the saint
ed Linkin. lie omitted remarkin any
thin about Peerce and Bookanan out
uv regard for the feelins uv the pres
ent incumbent, which if he'd red his
tory correct, wuz a ardent Mipporter
uv the Adininistrashens uv both uv
them men, wich he considered stairs
upon the pages uv American history
wich ho cood wish mite be obliterated.
But wat he desired to say wuz that
lie hod a higher regard for the good
opinion uv mankind in general than lie
hed tor the good opinion uv the acci
dental incumbent uv any offis and ez
he hed, in a hour uv temporary meu
tal aherrashun, which hed happily
passed, endorsed the Administrashen,
wich insanity hed worked evil unto
him, ho repeated ez a simple act uv
justice that the President should cause
it to he known that he, (Beecher) wus
not considered by the Administrashen
ez a supporter thereof.
' I do this,' sed the writer,' bccoz the
impression that I am in the confidence
uv yoor Eggseellency, wich is on fort u
nately abroad, hez seriously damaged
my reputashen.'
Trooly yoors, et settry.
The read in uv this letter wuz fuller
ed by a minit uv profound silence wich
wuz broken by the President:
' I him pass,' sed the great man,
who hez tiao Jlrtpotism uv the postofli
sis, ' let him pass, lint hero is another/
sed he, bustin into tears, ' read that.'
It wuz from Gen. Custar, him uv the
yaller hair, wich hed some reputashun
doorin the war ez a cavaly camman
der. It wuz to the same otlect. He
lied when he spozed that the policy uv
the President, wich he esteemed ez he
must any man who held the exalted
position wunst okkepied by the good
Washinton, the great Jefferson and the
sainted Linkin—
'The ungrateful dog doesn't respect
ME/ sed Androo, 'its the oftiis I till/
and he bust into a fresh flood.
When he spozed the President's
policy wuz sich ez a soljor and patriot
cood endorse, he endorsed it But he
diskivered that it led him, back tore
most, into company wich, doorin the
late war he hed alluz visited lace tore
most and on hossback, and therefore,
to save his reputation, be must beg
that the President wood give it out,
that he (Gen. Custar) wnz not nor
never h:d bin a sujiportor tiv his p1 i
cy, and ohli'ge,
Yoors troolv, ez before.
I wnz inu h--arthroken at this to
make any reply, ami Cowan and Doo
little wuz in the same fix. The Kur
neluy wich wnz given to C'ustar to keep
him in posishen, hed been promised to
a diinokratic captin, who wuz led by
a company in the first Bull Run fight,
and who threw up the next da}' in dis
gust, not likin the manner in wich the
war wuz conducted, but the kurnelcy
wuz gone and Custar too, wat wuz
worse, there wuz no sich thing to be
thot uv ez dismissin him. The entire
company yoonitcd in minglin their
teers.
The next letter wuz red by Seward,
ez it wuz eddressed to hira It wuz
from Raymond He opened with ihe
romark that for the Presidential oflis
he tied the highestrespeek.
Aside from the considerashun that
it hed been okkepied bj' the good
Washinton, the great Adams, and the
sainted Linkin, the President might he
considered the father uv his country,
bavin so large a number of helpless
children to provide for, besides hed a
instinktive respeck for the dispense of
any thing. It wuz difficult for him,
bein a simple-minded man. not to ail
| here to the President, but —
• Good Heaven " shrieked Johnson,
j 'that little fox aint goin to speak of
his reputashen V
4 Dooty requires the readin uv the
| entire dockeyment, painful to my feel
j ing ez it may lie.' said Seward, • he con
J eludes thusly
' 1 am forced to ask you ez one en
jorin contidenshal relashuns with Iliin
; who occupies the Presidential chair, to
I hev it given out that I stand in oppo
| sition to him. A doo regard for my
; reputashen impels me to this course.'
I remain, yoors trooly.
There wuz 2 or three more. Gen.
; Carey, uv Ohio, reqzested tho Presi
i dent to remove him from his Collector
ship, ez the holdin uv it wuz injurin
his reputashen; a editor out West,
who wuz sedooced into takin a Post
offis, beged to hev it taken off his
hands, that lie might save his eircula
| shcii before it wuz everlastingly too
j late; and finally we come to wan, the
! zeal of wich wuz a co:it uv arms, bull
dog rampant, bowie knife coitchant,
( supported by trottin liorses, on a field
|uv green cloth. It wuz from Hon.
j John Morrissey, who lied jest been
j elected to Congress in Noo York.
• .Nlr. Morrissey remarked, that ez one
uv the pillars uv the Democrasy, lie
felt lie hed a rite to speek. He wish
| ed it to be understood that he washed
■ his hands uv any eonnecshun with
) Johnson or his party. He hed seed
! a life. In States where tho Demoera
I ey, uv which lie wuz a pillar, hed tied
j themselves to Johnson, they hed gone
| down to a promatoor grave. Respect
for the high offis restrained him from
say in that the Democracy coodent car
ry sicii a cussid load, hut he wood say
that the result uv the election in Xoo
York, where they dependid solely on
muscle and nigger, wich is reel I>iino
cratic capital, and succeeded, while
where Democracy wuz loaded down
with Johnsonism they failed, satisfied
him that the President wuz ainkubus.
lie sod this with all doo respeek for
the otfis. Mr, Morrissey further re
marked, that he hed also personal rea
sons for makin this request, lie com
menced in a humble position, and hed
tilled the public eye long enouff to sat
| isty his modist ambishen —he hed wal
loped Sullivan and Heenan —he hed
owned the fastest horse and won more
money at taro than any man jn Amer
ika. llis ambishen wuz satisfied so
tiir ez lie wuz eoncerned, hut lie hop
ed to leave behind him for his infant
son, (wich wuz only twelve years uv
age and which hed a development uv
intelleck and muscle remarkable for
one so tender, hevin already walloped
every boy in the skool to which he
wuz goin.i he desired to leave that son
a honorable name It hed been given
out ho wuz a supporter uv the in
dividooal who okerpied the Presiden
shel offis, and it wuz injoorin him. Ho
wished that stigina removed—a regard
for his reputation forced him to insist
upon it.
And this epistle was dooly signed,
his
JOHN X MOIiKISEY, M. C.
mark.
There wuz silenco in the Cabinet.
This last stroke intensified the gloom
wich hed settled onto the Government,
and ez I turned my tear bedewed eyes
I saw the great drops coursiu down
the cheeks uv every one present. Mr.
Seward retired without saying any
thing about ninety days, arid one by
one they all departed.
It wuz a solemn time. Thero wuz
other letters yet to read, but no one
hod the heart to open 'em. I inado a
move in that direckshun, but Androo

he in a husky voice, wich showed his
hurt win-, peere d-' Help mo to hod.'
I snw tlie great man bury his intellec
tooal head beneath the snowv kivrin
II v his uneasy couch, ail but the nose
wich in him is tho thermometer uv the
solo, and wich accordingly glowed, not
with the yoosooal brilliant hue, but
with a dull, dead and ghastly bloo.—
Noticing the convulsive heavins of the
kivers, wich betrayed the agit ashen
uv the breast beneath, I whispered in
his ear ez I handed him his nite drink,
uv rye whisky, flavored with Bourbon,
that he lied one hold, ez Delaware hod
sustained him. A flush uv satisfaction
passed over his nose, hut if subsided in
an instant. 'Troo,' gasped he, 'its
ourri now, hut before the next election
a couple uv them Massuchoosisls will
buy the cuHsid State and re.people it

Tho most foolish predicament a man
can get into is to got drunk. Tn drunk
enness every man shows his strongest
side, and most ardent passion. There
are six kjnds of drunkards, and if you
will go into a drinking place where
there are a dozen men under the influ
ence ol liquor you will be sure to find
these six different characters, repre
senting different animals.
Ihe first is ape-drunk He leaps,
and sings, and yells, and dances, mak
ing all sorts of grimaces and cutting
up all sorts ol '• monkey shines" to ex
cite the laughter of his follows! Ob,
terribly silly is the drunken clown.
Ihe second is tiger-drunk. He
