They come from tnany a toilsome march, O'er rugged roads and untrod ways, That echoed to the tramp of feet Frommom to night through weary days. They come lkom crowded camps where shone The white tents In the nbontide glare, Where with the golden morning pealed The shrill reveille on the air. They come from lostheomb prison pens, Where Famine held her ghastly reign, And fated Pestilence stalked at noon With tottering, step and Jaen at pain. They come, now that the &bock to o'er Whichshook the nation's pillard dome, Some with deep wounds of battle scarred, And ask for bread and work at home!. Now boldly they went forth to meet Armed Treason la the bloody tight How boldly went they forth to die In battle for the cause of Right ! They triumphed, and once more returned With empty, waiting hoods they stand, And ask for work that they may live Who battled to redeem the land Is there no work for them to do, Now that the blasts of 'Far are stilled, Now that the reign of Peace is come? Are all the poets of duty filled? Is there no work tor these brave men Who grappled Treason t in its might, And set their feet upon Wit neck, And crushed it In defence of Right? No work for them! Moat they in vain Ask work now that the suite is done, Now that the glorious cause is saved, Now that the victor] is wen? Oh, people of the valiant North, Make answer to their earnest call, Bid them come In, the field is broad, There's room, there's food, there's work for all. This gentleman has an excellent constitution. He descends from a long-lived and hardy race, some of his ancestors doubtless attaining nearly a hundred years. His temperament combines the vital, motive, and mental In about equal de- grees well blended, and the quality of the whole is excellent. There are no Indications of disease, either mental or physical, and he is, to-day, a picture of almost perfect health. His temperate habits and abstemious life have enabled him to work almost incessantly without exhaustion Be tins been Wise enottgli to live of his conatitntion, -------- of drawing on the principal. With a brain almost of the largest class, measuring 2.33 inches in circumference, and high in propOrtion, there is also a harmonious relation between the brain and the body. He stands five feet ten inch, Measures around the • chest thirty-eight inches, and his usual weight is one hundred and seventy-rive pounds. His : - limbs are short, but the body is long, and there is more space allotted to the vital organs than one would infer from casual observation. The recnperative powers are great. Should he be come ill to•day, a little rest and abstinence sets him all right, and he will be well to-morrow. Phyisologically, he Is mother's son, Inherit ing her spirit and disposition, though he has something of the framework of his father. The shape of his brain is peculiar. It Is exceedingly long and high but not broad. Be Is less devel opoZ rn Destructiveness and Secretiveness than in any of the other tar ohlea intellectuallv there are no deficiencies. Hevery large in beartv all the perceptive faculties, including Individual• its, Eventuality, Form, Size, Weight, Order. In Causality, Human Nature, and Language be is decidedly prominent, while Locality.. Compari , son, Firmness, and Combativeness are very large. He should excel as a reasoner, bringing to bear all the necessary facts, illustrating by apt exam ple and- - metaphor each and every point. He also possesses in a very high .degree that Intui tive perception of character by which he may infer the disposition and motives of another nt glatice. In reasoning he proceeds from facts to principles—first particularing, then generalizing. He is a natural critic. His moral sentiments, as a class, are well de veloped, Conscientiousness, Benevolence, and Hope being most conspicuous, while Venera doh is rather large. His belief will be In accord ance with his knowledge. He will not admit as true that which seems improhable ; and he re quires the evidence of his senses, together with the _corroboration 'of his own experience, to satisfy. To do right, to do good, and to cheer one on his way by kind suggestion and advice would be in keeping with , his spirit. We infer that be is broad and liberal in his religious views rather than narrow or sectarian, er super stitious and bigoted. He has taste and refine ment without fastidiousness; love for the beau tiful, the grand, and the sublime in nature and art as well as for the useful; fur natural scenery, oratory and poetry. Being both mirthful and hopeful, he has a youthful, buoyant, and even rollicking nature; and yet this feeling is held in check by his strong moral sense, by his dignity and sense of propriety. He is tt espial observer, quick and curious, and would have made an excellent descriptive writer, an intelligent trav eler, navigator, orexplorer, and would have ex celled in acquiring and teaching the natural sciences. He has an accurate eye to judge of forms and proportions, and can instantly detect the slightest disproportion.

He would, however, let the offender up the moment he begged pardon or manifested penitence. Though saving, he L 3 generous to a fault, allowing appeals to benevo. lence to make sad Inroads upon his purse. More Acquisitiveness and Secretiveness would enable him better to keep what he geta. It will scarce ly be believed when we larm on phrenological principles that this gentlelfian is as remarkable for his sinrshiviinessund natural diffidence as be is for intellect: PA ability and etzrage. Indeed, he is almost as ,bashfuj as a girl, and it has been a great struggle from boyhood for him to over come this shotal strimkness._ .how well he has succeeded, theiNsorld need not be told.

ISIOGRAPILY. Daniel Stevens Dickinson was born atOcaben, Conn., Sept. 11th, 1800. His father, who was a farmer, removed to Chenango county, N. Y., In 1807, and settled in whit Is MA/ the town of Guilford. Tb subject of this notice was reared upon a lann Lin a new settleamit until about, Irlilirreses !or pm mai no WSW 01001,0 MONMOSE, SUSQ. CO., PA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1865. From the Phrenological Journal DAN SL B. DICKENSON. I= " Freedom and Right against Slavery and Wrong." for obtaining an education than such as the in different common schools of ithe country sup- Pispired, however, by a determination to self to an honorable position among his feiddiv-men, the hours which could be spared from manual toil were devoted to the acquisi tion of knowledge—in the eager pursuit of which every obstacle vanished as it was approached. So ardently did the Jotter student follow the well-chosen path, that at the age of twenty-one he was fully qualified to undertake the respon sibility of instructing others, and in the autumn of 1821 ho entered upon the duties of teacher at Wheatland, Monroe county, N. Y. Mr. Dickin son followed this vocation for many years with marked anccess,havin gin the mean time thorough ly prepared himself, without the aid of an in structor, to teach the Latin language and the higher branches of mathematics in select and academic schools, During vacations, and at other irregular periods while he was engaged as teacher, he was also extensively engaged in practical land surveying. In 1822 he was married to Lydia Knapp, a lady whose personal and intellectual charms have won the admiration and esteem of all who enjoyed the privilege of her acquaintance. Like her Illustrious husband, she in equally fitted to gladden the cottage of the lowly and to adorn the mansion of the rich. Atter his marriage, Mr. Dickinson's time was chiefly occupied in the study of the law, to the practice of which he was admitted in 1828, Guilford, his former place of residence, being chosen as the spot for commencing the duties of his new profession. In 1831 he removed to Binghamton, N. Y., his present place of residence, and at once en tered upon an extensive practice, and in his own and neighboring circuits he met and SlM cesafully competed with the ablest lawyers I f the State. In 1836 be had so won the popular favor that he was elected to the State Senate Gtr four years; and though one of its youngest members and comparatively inexperienced re specting the customs of public life, he speedily became the acknowled leader of his partv—the Democratic Jacksonian—winning its confidenceu by its genial eloquence, and retaining it by his uncompromising integrity. In 1840 he was candidate for lieutenant-gov ernor, but was defeated in the general overthrow or his party that year. In 1842 he recellved the neminatian for the same office, and was elected to the position by a large majority. As Re11:1 tor, his speeches upon the usury laws attracted universal atteution. The Senate, during the time that he was n member, and as lieutenaffi. governor—its presiding officer—was a court her the correction of usury, and Mr. Dickinson gave frequent opinions upon the grave questions which came before that court for final adjudi cation, many of which may be found in the law reports ,f the day. In 1844 Mr. Dickinson was a State elector of the Democratic party, and as such cast his vote for James K. Polk and George M. Dallas for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States. At the expiration of his term as lieutenant governor, Deveffiber, 1344, he was appointed by Governor Bouck to till a vacancy for one session in the United States Senate, snd on the meeting of the Leg slature the appointment was nut only ratified, but was extended so as to embrace a full term of six years froni the 4th of Mach, 1845. During the period of his service in the United States Senate he took a conspicuous part in the tnost important debates of that august body, and held for a number of years the post of chairman of the Caemmittee of Finance, one of the most dignified and responsible posh liens for which a senator, as such, can be se lected. Upon the exciting questions of the day k 9 AIM/4n\ initT6.lllfia-IllZit'llig-i-Jnaer vative side, and strenuously appealed for entire non-intervention in all matters relating to slave- In the National Democratic Convention held at Baltimore, in 1852 he received the vote of Virginia and some other scattering ballots for President, but being himself a delegate favoring the nomination of General Casa, whose name was yet before the con vention,M r.Dtekinson th drew his own name; and in declining: the honor which, entirely unexpected to himself, so large and•inflnential a portion of the convention was desirous to confer upon him, he delivered au impromtu address, the language of which proved most conclusively to the assembly that the de mands of political integrity have a firmer hi id upon the heart and intellect of the good nem than the enticements of even a worthy am bition. lie had been sent by the eons:it- I:limey of his State as a delegate in the interest of Mr. Cass—a prominent candidate for the highest office in the gift of the American peo ple, and could not therefore he prevailed utein to stand in the way of the friend whom he had come to support, and peremptorily refused to permit his name to be used by the cony, ntion. His speech on the occasion (the one above re ferred to) was a gem of its kind, and was uni versally commended for its classic beauty and elevated tone. l luring the delivery of this ad dress the ladies in the gallery 'threw such a shower of boquets towards the speaker that when he resumed his seat he seemed to have Men transferred to a blooming parterre; he Has literally ; surrounded by flowers. This noble, self-denying act of Mr. Dickinson— his declining to permit himself to become the candidate of his party because of the technical obligations arising from his relations with ()en. Cass, is proof of the justice of the high reputa tion which he has everywhere established for unsullied honor in both his public and private career. In the same year (1852) Mr. Pierce nominated Mr. Dickinson for eollemor of the port 01 New York, and he was anaimonsly confirmed by the Senate without reference; lint this honorable and lucrative position was declined. At the close of his term in the Senate he re turned to his profession, which he prosecuted with vigor until the breaking out of the releLlion, when, having indicated his determination to sustain the Government regardless of all con siderations, he was called by the popular de mand to almost every section of the loyal States, and devoted all his energies and tile greater portion of his time, for the first three years of the insurrection, to addressing vast assemblage., of the people and advising them to the necessity of ignoring party line=, and urging them to vin dicate and defend, by word and act, and with united efforts, the laws, the Constitution, and the country.: Perhaps a better estimate may be formed of the Herculean task which he imposed upon himself when we state that, during the pe riod referred to, be delivered in New York, Pennsylvania, and the New England States over one hundred addresses, all of them having a direct bearingypon the rebellion, and each one presenting prominent and distinctive fea tures In the pertormance of this immense labor Mr. Dickinson not only displayed the unlimited re sources of his intellect and his unwearied devo tion to the highest interests of the nation, but be also beautified and enriched the fields of American eloquence and generously added to our stores of political wisdom. Some of the ripest scholars of our day have said concerning his phi ippica against the leaders ot the rebellion (many of which were published and commented upon at the time they were delivered), that they compare favorably, both in substance and style, with the orations which Cicero pro nounced in the Roman Senate against Cati line and his fraternity of conspirators. There can be no doubt but that the earnest inspira tions of his-one brain and heart bad verY much to do with breaking and quelling the spirit of certain insurrectionary parties at the North, and in placing before the people the true con dition.of the country. Too much praise cannot be accorded to Mr. Dickinson for his great and 1 sueressiiil efforts for the preservation of the Un ion, and the nation owes him a debt of gratitude : which can only be paid by holding up his no- ble record for the emulation of coming genera lions. On the formation of the Union party in 18131, Mr. Dickinson was nominated for attorney- ; general of the State of New York. Believing that the post was one in which his ripetexpe nenee might be ensile serviceable to the country, se.cepted this nomination sal fifes( elected by OM. 29W0 - Mr. Lincoln nominated Mr. Dickinson to set tle the Oregon boundary with Great Britain, and the nomination was unanimously confirm ed without reference—such is the confidence of the nation in his probity and patriotism. This nomination was, however, declined. In December of the same year Governor Fen ton felect,) learning that Hon. Henry FL Selden's resignation would leave a vacancy in the court of appeals, tendered the position in handsome and generous terms to Mr. Dickinson; but, reg ulating his conduct by that high vine's of duty which hes ever been his unerring guide, he also declined this position. One of the last acts of Mr. Lincoln was to tender Mr. Dickinson the office of district attor ney for the southern district of New York—un solicited and unexpected—a post which was ac cepted, and the duties of which he i i now dis charging to the satisfaction of the entire commu nity. When the appointment was announced-- although it was felt that the requirements of the office were not such as to claim the constant ex ercise of his best abilities—it was universally recognized as a partial nelmlwledgment of the generous services NI, lila lie had both the desire Ind the powt r to render to his country As a dub dor, Mr Dickin-nu tvetipier a front rank among the greatest of those who have la bored for the unsullied preservation of the Con stitution in the halls of Congress; and even of his brilliant compeers in tie^ forum, nearly all of whom have passed away into a sacred inheri tance, few ever attained such tinqualified power over popular assemblies. In argument he is clear, prof - iund, and logical: hie illustrations are frequent and always appropriate; his sentences are energetic, often replete with scathing satire, and not unfrequent'y embeloshed by graceful allusions to classic poetry and mythology. Ilia memory is excellent; hie final of kn o wledge is large, varied, and always ace•ssihle- Ile draws from his abundance without hesitation or no parent effort, and so easily and naturally do his thoughts shape themselves Mtn language, that his utterances appear to his auditors like the overflowing of a rich and t xhanatiess fountain. And not only is Nfr Dickinson recognized as one of the molt gifted or our public debaters. but he is one of our happiest prose writers, and has also, in his hours of recspdion, added to our literature several charming lyrical cffuNions.— f-to successful have bts-n his efforts in this direc tion, that had not his time been wholly con stinted in the public service, and had he so chos en, he might have attained eminence as n peed.

How much more we might make of our family life, if our friendships, our every secret thought of love, hloasome I into a deed! We are now speaking, merely of personal caresses. These may or may not . be the best language of aff:e tion. Many are endowed with a delicacy, a fastidiousness of organization, which shrinks away from too much of these, repelled and over powered. But there are words and looks, and little observances, thaughtfrtinesses, watchful lit tle attentions, which speak of love, which make it manifest, and there Is scarcely a family that might not be richer in heart-wealth for more of them. It Is a mistake to suppose that relations must, of course, love each ether because they - ;,.."7" — unal Low must be eadtivatcd, and can may do__ a_ üble' Melt tetiffn,g under the hand of a gardener; and lave can dwindle akd die nut nu neglect, as choice flower-seeds, planted in poor soil, dwindle and grow . single. Two causes in our Anglo-Saxon nature, prevent this easy fac ulty and flow of expression which strike one a , pleasantly in the Italian or French life; the dread of flattery, and a constitutional shyness "I perfectly longed to tell Soand-sn how I ad mired her, the other day," said Miss X. "Then, why in the world didn't you tell her?" "Oh. it would seem like flattery, you know." NOW what is flattery? Flattery as insincere prain,, given from interested motives, hut not the sin cere utterance to a friend of what we deem good and lavely in him. And so far fear of flattering, these dreadfully sincere people go on, side by side, with those they love and admire, givine them, all the time, the impression at utter indif ference. Parents are fin afraid of exciting pride and vanity in their children by the expression of their love and approbation, that a child some times goes sad and discouraged by their side, and learns, with surprise, in sonic chance way, that they are proud and fond of him. There are times when an open expression of a father's lout would be worth more than church or sermon to a boy; anal his father cannot otter it—will show it. The other thing that represses the utterances love, is the characteristic shyness of the An 'o -Saxon blood. Oddly enough, a race born of two demonstrative, outspoken persons—the Ger ; man and the French—has an habitual reserve that is like neither. There is a poweriessne_ca o! utterance in onr blood that we should flgbt against and struggle outward toward expressi;in. We can educate ourselves to it, if we know and feel the necessity; we can make it a Christian duty, not to love, but to be loving—not only to he true friends, but to show ourselves, friendly. We make ourselves say the kind things that rise in our heart and tremble back on our lips— do the gentle-and hopeful deeds which we long to do and shrink back from; and, little by little, it will grow easier—the love spoken will brine back the answer of love—the kind deed wilt bring track a kind deed in return—till the heart, in the family circle, instead of being so many frozen, icy islands, shall be full of warm airs and echoing bird-voices answering back and forth with a constant melody of love.—H. B. Stowe. CANTNE SAGACITY.—A gentleman, one of the survivors of the ill-fated steamer Anglo-Saxon, gives the following narrative of the escape of one of the boats through the pilotage of two Newfoundland dogs : The last time I saw Captain Burgess, (the commander of the Anglo-Saxon,) he was assist ing to lower the small boat, in which were em barked twenty-two men, one lady and myself:— We left without food, compass, or sufficient clothing. We were knocked about in a fog all day, not knowing whither we were drifting. Towards evening, however, we espied a cliff of Belle Isle, when we steered into Cape Race, which we made. Approaching the shore, we saw a man carrying a gun, accompanied by two large Newfoundland dogs. Be evidently saw us, and made a signal for us to approach the shore cautiously. We followed his course for some time, till he was hid from as by a large cliff, which it, was impossible he could descend. The two dogs however, soon appeared, de scending this dangerous headland, and upon reaching the water, dashed precipitately into the sea, howling dreadfully. having swam out close to the boat, they then turned close to the shore, keeping a little distance from us, indicating that we were to follow them. Our singular pilots seemed to understand the danger of our position, as we did not deviate from the course they were leading us without a howl being uttered by theffi. At last we arrived in a natural creek, where a safe landing was effected. No other similar creek was to be seen, which caused us all to wonder at the sagacity display ed by these dumb animals. No doubt our pres eriation was in a great measure attributable to these noble dogs. An alarm having been made, a rope was let down by a puny, and we were taken up the cliff, which is one hundred and fif ty feet in height. We were shortly after enabl ed to reach the light house, where every atten tion was paid to us. rif A poet in the 'Nebraska City Revs con cludes a long poem with tge following lino, which contain more truth than poetry : Well, such Is HP , I Whom the gods love Dle young.

The annexed, another evldenct of the kind heart of our late President, Mr. Lincoln, we take from the In&pendent : On the Monday before his death, when our lute beloved President was on his return from • Itichmond, he stopped at City Point. Calling upon the heaffisurgeon at that place, Mr. Lincoln told him that he wished to visit all the hospitals under his charge, and shako hands with every soldier. The surgeon asked the President if ho knew whats task he was undertaking, and told him that there were then between live and six.. thousand soldiers at that place, and it would to quite a tax upon his strength to visit all the wards and shake hands with every soldier. Mr. latt• coin answered, with a smile, that he " guessed he was equal to the task; at any rate he would try, and go as far as he could ; he should never probably see the Soya again, and he wanted them to know that ho appreciated what they had done for their country." Finding It useless to try to dissuade him,lho sure began to make his rounds with the President, who walked from bed to bed, extend ing his hand to all, say ing a few words of gym pat by to some, making kind inquiries of others, and welcomed by all with the heartiest cordial ity. As they passed along they came to a ward in which lay a rebel, who had been wounded, null was a prisoner. As the tall figure of the kindly visitor appeared in sight, he was recog nized by the rebel soldier, who, raising himself on his elbow in bed, watched Mr. Lincoln as ho approached, and, extending his hand, exclaimed, while tears ran down his cheeks: "Mr. Lincoln, I have long win ted to see you, to ask your for giveness for ever raising my band against the "hi the ?" Mr. Lincoln was moved to tears. heartily shook the hand of the repentant rebel, end assured him of his good will, and, with a few words of kind advice, passed on. After soup:hours the to it of the various hospitals was made, and M. Lincoln returned with the sur geon to his office. They had scarcely entered, however, when a messenger came, saying that one ward had been omitted, and "the boys" wanted to see Mr. Lincoln. The surgeon who wag thou - mei:ly tired, and knew Mr. Lincoln must be, tried to dissuade him from going; but the good man said he must go back; ho would not knowingly omit one; "the boys" would bo so disappointed. So he went with the messen ger, accompanied by the surgeon, and shook hands with the gratified soldiers, and then re turned again to the office. The surgeon express ed the tear that Mr. Lincoln's arm would be lamed with so much hand-shaking, saying that it certainly must ache. Mr. Lincoln smiled, and, saying something about his "strong muscles," .!epped nut at the open door, tonic up a very large, heavy axe, which lay there by a log of wood and chopped vigorously for a few mo ments, sending the chips flying in all directions; and then, pausing, he extended his right arm to its full length, holding the axe out horizontally, without its even quivering as he held it. Strong men who looked on—men accustomed to manu al labor—conldaiot hold the same axe in that position for a moment. Returning to the &Bee, lie took a glass of lemonade, (for he would take no sitr.toger beverage and while h was within, the chips he had chopped e ereil up and safely cared for by a hospi I steward, because they were "the chips that 'Father Abraham' hail chopped."
