From Littelrs Living Age.]
The following lines were found,uride.t. the
pillow of a soldier who was lying, dead in a
hospital near Port Royal, South Carolina:
_ I lay me down to sleep
With little thought or care
Whether my waking find
Me hero, or there.
A bowing, burdened h4ad,
That only asks to rest;
Unquestioning, upon
A living breast.
My good right hand forgets
Ire cunning now—
To march the weary march
I know not how.
I am not eager, bold,
N g—
or stronAll that is past;
I am ready notto do
At last, at last.
My half day's work is done,
And this is all tnypart;
I give a patient God
My patient heart;
And grasp his banner still,
Though all its blue de dim;
These stripes, no less than stars,
Lead after Him.
Rides for Literary Connoisseurs.
In the atlifornian's notices to cor
respondents we find the following rules
for determining authorships. E. The
Writer is an adept, and there, seems
to be safety in his recommendation :
"Literary Connoisseur asks, 'Who is
the author of these fine lines'?
•Let doge delight to b rlr and bite
For God bath made t so!'
Here is a man gone into stasies of ad
miration over a nursery rhyme! Truly,
the wonder of this new position of mine
do never cease. The longer I hold it
the more lam astonishe, and every
new applicant for information, who
comes to me; leaves me more helplessly
stunned than. the one who went before
him. No, I don't know who wrote
those 'tine lines,' but I expect old Watts
'is-name, who wrote old Watts' hymns,
lathe heavy gun you are after. How
ever, it may be a bad guess, and if you
find it isn't him, why, they lay it on
Tupper. That is mg usual method. It
is awkward to betray ignorance. There
fore, when I come across anything in
'the poetry line, which is particularly
mild and aggravating, I- always con
sider it pretty safe to lay it on Tupper.
The policy is subject to accidents, of
icourse, but``then it works pretty well,
and I hit oftener than I miss. A 'con
noisseur' should never be in , doubt
about anything ; It is ruinous. I will
give you a few hints. Attribute all
the royal blank verse, with a mar
tial ring to it, to Shakespeare; all
the grand ponderous ditto, with asolemn
lustre of holiness about it, to Milton. all
the ardent love poetry, ..tricked out in
affluent imagery, to Byron; all the
scouring, dashing, descriptive warrior
rhymes to Scott; all the sleepy, tiresome,
rural stuff, to Thomson, and his eter
nal Seasons; all the genial, warm
hearted jolly Scotch poetry, to Burns;
all the tender, broken-hearted song
verses to Moore; all the broken-English
poetry to Chaucer or Spenser—which
ever occurs to you first; all the heroic
poetry, about the impossible deeds done
before Troy, to Homer;, all the nauseat
ing rebellion mush-and-milk about
young fellows who have come home to
die—just before the battle, mother—to
George F. Root and kin fired spiri4; all
the poetry that everybody admires and
a . pprecintes, bat n3body ever reads or
tluota fic;nl, to Dryden, Cowper and
Shelley; all the grave-yard poetry to
Elegy Gray or Wolfe, indiscriminately.
all the poetry that you can't understand r
to Emerson; all the harmless old plati
tudes,• delivered with Va stately and
oppressive pretence to originality, •
to Tupper, and all the 'Anonymous"
poetry td yourself. Bear these rules in
mind, and you will pass muster as a con
noisseur; as long as you can talk glibly
abopt the 'styles' of authors, you will
get as much credit as if you were really
acquainted with their works. Throw
out a mangled French phrase occasion
ally, and you will pass for an accom
plished man,and a Latin phrase dropped
now and then will gain you the reputa
tion of bei,ng a learned one. Many a
distinguished 'connoisseur' in belles /et
trcA9 and clac , sic erudition travels on the
same capital." •

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN C 2 1,8 PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1865.---TRIPLE,SHEET
Freedmen's; Affairs.
In the recent report of Lieut i enant-General
Grant to the President, giving his Views of
the feelings of the Southern people,he spoke
of the Freedmen's Bureau as an absolute
necessity until:civil' law is established and
enforced, securing to the freedmen their
rights and full protection, and said in this
connection : "At present, however, it is in
dependent of the military establishment of
the criuntry, and seems to be operated by
the different agents of the Bureau according
to their individual notions." Gen. Howard,
Commissioner - of Freedmen's Affairs, -in
view of this remark of General Grant, issued
an order calling the attention of the As
sistant Commissioners to that report, and
saying the most thorough inspection will at
once be made, and the evils complained of
be corrected.
No order from the War Department makes
the bureau independent of the military es
tablishment, and any agent or officer who
presumes to act contrary to such instruc
tions will be forthwith removed or roportsd
to his Department commander for trial by
court-martial. In all matters of a military
character the officers of the bureau are
under the direction of the Department com
mander, in the same manner as an officer of
engineers building a fort in the same de
partment, who reports directly to the Chief
Engineer. Every assistant commissioner
will constantly seek co-operation with the
Department commander, and must keep
him - furnished with all information in his
possession, and his formal approval must
be secured, when possible, to all orders and
circulars issued by the asqistant commis
sioners.
Discovery of a Silver Miae—Tionesta Oil
Region Adding- to its Wealth.
The Pithole Record, on the authority of S.
D. Irvin, Esq., gives the following particu
lars of the discovery of a silver mine: "The
mine is on the land of John A. Dale, Esq.,
of Tionesta, situated on the head waters of
Little Tionesta creek, about eight miles from
the town of the same name, and about fif
teen miles from Pithole. Little Tionesta
creek runs through one of the most barren
and sparsely inhabited regions of Pennsyl
vania, and empties into the Allegheny
river at Tionesta. The vein of silver ore
discovered is thirteen inches thick, and lies
some fourteen feet below the surface, there
being twelve feet of alluvial and two feet of
rock over it; As far as ascertained, the vein
runs through three acres, bat may, and un
doubtedly will, be found more wide-spread
than that. The discovery was made while
boring for oil. Great excitement is said to
prevail at Tionesta, andlthe people all have
visions of wealth based on a 'specie basis.'
The first excitement may have given rise to
exaggerated !accounts, and - we advise our
readers to receive the matter with due allow
ance, taking into consideration tue prone
ness of speculators and new discoverers to
see everythingthrough a magnified vision.
We shall seek to investigate the matter and
keep our readers posted."
A VENERABLE WEDDING.—The Paris
correspondent of the Boston Gazette says:
"We'll leave at a bridal—such a bridal as
never you were at before. What think
you of a groom who can dandle his
great -great-grand children on his knee?
And ndle them he can, for he is as
green and active as most fellows of forty,
although he is eighty-six years old.
This groom, who has just led his third
wife (isn't matrimony favorable to lon
gevity) to the altar, is the Prince de
Montlear. She is the Princess de Tre
moille. His first marriage is veiled in
obscurity. His second marriage was
quite romantic. At the ball given in
1810 at the Austrian Embassy here in
honor of the marriage of Napoleon I. and
Marie Louise, the Prince de iNiontiear's
partner in a dance was the Princess
Marie Christine of Saxony, then cue
wife of the Prince of Carignan Savois.
In the midst of the ball a conflagration/
burst forth, as it seemed, on all sides of
the room at once. The Prince de Mont
lear seized his'partner in his arms, and
iiere her through the dense, frantic
throng by main force and presence a
mind. She was deeply gratified, and
when some years afterwads she found
herself and the Prince frelt, she conveyed
to him intimation of the satisfaction it
would-give her to trust her happiness to
those hands which had in an hour of
peril held her life so securely. They
were soon married. She was the mother
of Carlo Alberto, the unhappy, heart
broken hero of 1848, and consequently
grandmother of Vittom Emanuel, the
great grandmother of Princess Clothilde,
and the great-great grandmother of
Prince Napoleon's children.
SPIRIDON.
Itepoo Of theCommissary-General of
?Subsistence.
.General A. B. Eaton, Commissary-Gen
eral of Subsistence, reports to the Secretary
of War that the subsistence stores required
for the army during the year hive been
purchased as heretofore in the various
markets of the country. The Southern
States have not afforded a large, amount of
supplies. —ln purchasing, a"systerii of ad
vertising and sealed proposals has been
generally adopted. Daring the entire war
no campaign or movement has failed from
the inability of the Subsistence .Department
to meet requisitions. The Quartermasters'
Department has tarnished prom pt help in
transportation. The sudden close of the
war left large supplies on hand, part of
which have been used by transporting to
different points parts sold, and part dis
tributed to those whom the war made desti
tute both whi e and colored. The whisky
rations have been discontinued, and the
whisky on hand sold. A considerable in
come has been derived from the sale of hides,
tallow, &c.
The prisoners of war under charge of
General Hoffman, Commissary General of
Prisoners, have been well and humanely
subsisted. Portions of their rations not
wanted have been accumulated into a
"savings" fund, amounting to 81,845,125 99.
No further appropriation for the Depart
ment will be needed during the current
fiscal year. Claims have been presented
for compensation for stores taken trornloyal
citizens to the number of one thousand four
hundred and seventy, of which fifty have
been allowed, four hundred and thirteen
rejected, and the rest are unsettled.
The Department has been reorganized by
assigning officers to duty in the new Military
Divisions. At the beginning of the war the
department contained but twelve officers, to
whom twenty-nine were added during the
war, and no further increase is recom
mended. To all the officers of the depart
ment credit is given for faithful and efficient
service.
DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A DEER,—The
Jackson (Miss.) Hews, of a recent date, says:
A remarliable escape from death in astrug
gle witha deer occurred at Leytonstone on
Saturday last. It appears that a fine deer
with very large antlers broke through from
Mr. Hart's property into that of Mr. Ste
pimps; opening his door, the deer sprang at
him from a distance of eight or nine feet,
knocking him down and attacking him in
the most ferocious manner. The struggle
between Mr. Stephens and the deer lasted
for at least five minutes before any of his
men arrived tohis assistance. Fortunately,
Mr. Stephens had the presence of mind to
lay hold of the antlers, and, being a power
ful man, he was enabled to retain his grasp,
although be was thrown ft VE) times with great
force to the ground. After being gored and
having had his clothes torn to ribbons, be
was quite exhausted and in imminent dan
ger of his life. The animal became more
furious when assistance was rendered, and
it required four men effectually to secure
him. Although much shaken, Mr. Stephens,
it is hoped.will, with medical aid,be restored
to his usual health.
THE following gem is from the pen of
Rose Terry:
"God sees from the high blue heaven,
He sees the grape in the flower;
He bears one's life-blood dripping
Through the maddest, merriest hour;
lie knows what sackcloth and ashes hide in
the purple of power.
"The broken wing of the swallow
He binds in the middle air;
I shall be what I am in Paradise—
So, heart, no more despair;
Remember the blessed Jesus, and wipe his
feet with tby hair."

It is one of the most useful inventions for domestic
use ever offered to the public. The flour is sifted in
one-quarter the time (and much better than by any
other process) by putting the flour in the top of the-
Sifter, then, by turning the crank, the 'Pour passes.
through the sieve with great rapidity. Clean, very
fine and light. This sitter has no India rubber ,
roleis to grind up the dirt, such as bugs, worms, flies,
&c.. nut sitts all articles and leaves the dirt remaining
in the sieve; the Sifter is made of tin, is very neat and ,
easy to keep clean. It is the only Sifter now in use
that gives SATISFACTION. Every Sifter is warrant
ed to give satisfaction. Be sure anti ask for tipenceev
