As die the embers on the hearth
And o'er the floor the shadows fall,
And creeps the chirping cricket forth,
And ticks the death-watch in the wall
t see a form in yonderchair,
That grows beneath the waning light
There are the wan, sad foatures there,
The pallid brow, and locks of white !
My Father ! when they laid thee down,
And heaped the clay noon thy breast,
And loft thee sleeping all alone.
Upon thy narrow couch of rest,
I know not why I could not weep
Thefoothing'drops refused to roll,
And oh ! that grief is wild and deep,
Which settles fearless on the soul !
But when I saw thy vacant chair
Thine idle hat urron the wall
Thv book the pencilled j ajfaf. where
Thiiio eye had rested, luat of all;
The tree beneath whose friendly shades
Thy trembling feet had wandered forth
The very prints tho?u feet bad mado
When last they feebly trod tho earth !
And thought, whilo countless agos Bed,
'Thy vacant tent would vacant stand
I nworn thy hat, thy book unread,
Eflaocd thy footsteps from tho prmd

Ouslicd madly forth tho scorching tears,
And oft, nnd long, nnd bitterly,
Those tears have gushed in Inter years ;
For as tho world grows cold around,
And things take on their real hue,

The following is a description of Theo
dore II., taken from a book published last

some time French vice consul at Mussowah :

thosu of most Abyssiniaus, are expressive

is lively and piercing; the distinct lines of
the proiilu well express the tirtn will which
li:is enthralled the freest tir.d least docile
people of the East. Rigorous, towards ot li

worship. She had been, however, the faith

"A marriage of ambition has been the
indirect cause of tho iingulurilies ho hus
since mado public. To put an cud, by u
Kind of fusion, to tho pretensions of tint
family of Oubie, he married, about six years
ago, the daughter of the latter, the young
I and beauttlul 1 oroneche, wno Had throng!;
i out A byssinia the reputation of an accom
plished princess. VYiity, accomplished,
charming, she had scarcely any defect but
the obstinate pride which is a very general
I drawback with Abyssiniaus of a certain
j rauk. For two or three years the most per
fect uuiou reigned iu this household.
Theodore had for his graceful partner a ten
dcruoss iu which pride hail no small part,
and when she hud given him u sou he as
sembled all the grandees at a theatrical
Jtlt und showed them the newborn, saying,
Behold him who will reign over you. It
is doubtful whether the guests took serious
ly an observation against which the elder
sons of the Negus had tho right to protest.
,"uno uny, ou tlio occasion ot tue Laster
IcUt, Toroueche asked ber husband for the
pardon of someTigrian chicls, kept in irons
for their attachment to Oubie. This legiti
mate demand excited in the highest degree
the suspicions of the irritable Necus.
'What do you mean ?' he asked. 'Do you
prefer your futher to me ?' 'Perhaps I do,'
answered the haughty princess. She had
scureely spoken w hen a violent blow fell on
ber cheek. Bell, who wished to interveue,
received another. Oubie, who since the
marriage had been restored to favor, was
placed in irons, and has not siuce recovered
his liburty. Moreover the Negus, to iutlict
a deadly blow on his wife, at once took four
favorites from the lowest ranks. Tbe first
explosion over, he dismissed them all ex
cept one woman of the Yedjo-Oallas, who
has none of the physical or moral charm of
tbe itege, but who skilfully retains her ca
pricious lover by a number of cares aud at
tentions which tbe proud Toronecbe has the
impudence to despise. What shows the
abasement of the national character ia that
those who surround the Negus have taken
his part in tbe scandal. Tbe church alone
protests by the voice of some venturous
priests.

change his conduct. He then gnca tit see

dnncy over him for lie is proud to ho tho
husband of a woman so ndiuircd. He puss
es no hour in listening to the most biting
and hnrdest truths, nnd if he occasionally
rnges and threatens, the itegho reminds him
coldly that no Negus 1ms ever killed his
wife, utid tlmt she knows well he will not
daro to begin. Theodore then returns some
whnt ashnined to his little court, makes a
public confession, declares thiit he is really
the most scandalous sinner in Ethiopia
that he is in spite of himself; tknt it is a
victory of the devil-a victory which should
make us feel our weakness and 'nothing
ness.' Finullv, he promises to Iry and do
better, nnd dismisses the favorite. Easter
over, hu takes her buck ngiiin, and some
times adds a second. In these freaks nil
with the Negus is calculated for effect. Ho

Jtiy Cooke on the n.tiontil Itunkw.
Jay Cooke, the eminent banker, has writ
ten a long letter on the subject of tho Xa"
tional Banks.
Besides the familiar fact that the Nation
al Banks substitute a uniform and snfo cur
rency, ncci ptable everywhere, for a heter
ogeneous mid insecure one, doubtful every
where, Mr. Co. ke makes the following
points, viz :
That tho National bank-notes are even
safer than (ho greenbacks; for, whilo the
latter are the nation's promises to pay, un
indorsed by any special pledge of private
capital, the natimiul bank notes are the pro
mises to pay of a private corporation of
capitalists, indorsed by tho nation ; so that
not only the National credit but the pro
perty of the bank, and the personal respon
sibility of its stockholders to nn amount
equal to their stock, arc pledged for their
icde mption.
That where National Banks have failed
of which failure tin-re huve been only nine
in nil) their notes, instead of beiliL' worth-
I less, have been worth from two to live cents
! premium, owing to the fact that new bnnks,
j desiring to have the privilege of issuing
circulating notes, nnd being prevented from
; doiner so by the fact that tho eutirc three
j hundred millions, authorized by Congress
, , , -lt'!1. ' --n exhausted, have
"""pwv i,e etnie-a Hi iiiu Itllliuir lUIIIKS UT
j a premium, in order to succeed to their pii
! vi'ee of circulation.
! That the $18,000,000 per annum of inter
i est which the Government pays the bauks
n the amount of bonds it requires to be
I bought and held by them, is no favor to tho
i banks, and no loss to the Government,
I which would have to pay the same to who
j ever else should hold the same bonds if they
; who not held by the bauks.
That the policy of having the Govern-
ment issue greenbacks enough to take up
ine uonns nuni ny me ationul Hanks would
only convert the Treasury into an old fash
ioned United States Bank, with tho green
backs ns currency, and with its branch agen
cies in every town, thus concentrating ?nto
one the power which is now divided amonc
l,(i()0 banks.
That the objections against allowing Na
tional banks to issue circulating notes would
apply w ith still greater forcu to State Bauks,
siuce the latter could not be so 6ccuru or
.e . , ...
w,,lu"ul requiring uen, to put up
National bonds on which the Government
would pay them interest, as it now does to
tlie .National bauks. 1 he real question, there
fore, is, whether we shall have any banks or
banking system at all, or whether all such
institutions shall be destroyed exevpt one
vast "Greenback Bank"' at Washington.
That it is untrue that tho Natiouul Banks
receive 18,000.000 of annual interest from
the people on their 300,000,000 of circula-
: tion, as alleged ; that the law requires them
to keep in reserve 20 per cent, of their cir
culation, or sJOO.000,000, and a further
amount equal to 20 per cent, of their de-
posits (57 1, 000.000) say $114,000,000
j making a total reserve of $240,000,000. -
j This, deducted from the $1500.000,000, leaves
' only $120,000,000 available for circulation,
," "le OttUhS Itinho MX per Cent. Or
i S7.5u0.000. But against this apparent pro
lit must be offset the taxes they pay to the

Tolal,
Deduct interest on actual circulation,
And there remains a balance of $10,8 13,0u0
which is paid to the Government by the
Banks for the privilege of existing, an
amount which must reduco to a nominal
point or entirely cancel the interest which
the Government pns them ou the bonds
they are required to liolJ. It ia further
shown that as many of the National Banks
are organized und controlled by Democrats
as by liepublicuus, that they are conducted
on purely financial motives, by men of both
parties, and hence that they are wholly uu
available to any party for political purposes.

The Commissioners of Internal Revenue
lias announced the following decisions:
"In a caso whore the United States is
creditor of a bankrupt (ut taxes, the claim
in ay be enforced in two ways ;
First By lien against tho property
where such lien is attached before tbe party
hus been adjudged a bankrupt. In that
case it is proper lor the collector to demand,
under tbe authority of a wnrrant of distraint,
possession of the property of the bankrupt
to which lien is attached, for the purpose of
satisfying tho warrant and ull lawful char
ges thereon. Should the Marshal refuse to
deliver, tlio collector should then submit a
motior. to the court having jurisdiction in
the case of bankruptcy, for an order to the
Marshal to make the" delivery demanded.
If the court refuse to make such an order,
but will direct that the claim of the United
States be placed tit the head of tho list of
claims to be paid before even costs in bank-

The Memphis correspondent of the Cin
cinnati C'ommcreinl gives (ho following ad
mirable sketch of Admiral Semincs:
"All this leads me to speak of Abmiral
Scmims. It was my fortuue to know him
well. We differed about many political
questions, but there was no one whoso per
sunal trait3 won more of the writer's esteem.
Ho is generous, truthful, kindly nnd amiable
as a woman, always smiling, even-tempered,
and perhaps a better collocpuist than writer.
In sociai intercourse there is no one whose
manner, Louring and excellnnt good sense
would gain more respect or more speedily
conciliate tin enemy und make a friend. His
habits are faultlcs". Hp has none of the
vices of a sailor, save nu aversion to boots,
His nose and face have all the ruddy marks
that distinguish an 'oi l suit.' Ho uses no
stimulant. His eyes are blue, clear and
winning iu expression. He always smiles
when hu greets you. His apparel is plain,
and gait erect und graceful enough. He is
slender and straight, weighing not more
than one hundred mid twenty live pounds.
His height is five feet nine or ten inches,
and his ,.je titty-live.
"Such is Haphiel Semmes, who has been
ns grossly misrepresented by northern news
papers and letter-writers as uny jiurticipnnt
in the late war. Whether his conduct was
defensible or not, it is certainly true that he
never once questioned the legality and pro
priety of his course. He deemed the Ala
bama a lawiul cruiser, invested with every
right which a vessel acquires as part of the
'territory' of a recoiruised belligerent. Of
his deeds he himself w ill write the story.
I He has all needful materials for an interest
ing book, which at some day hu will givu to
the world. The Admiral he insists upon
his proper title hus returned to Mobile. It
is thought, however, that he will make
Memphis his home.

Post Okfih, Coxfedmit X Roads,
iNVich is iu the Stait uv Kentucky.)
October 22, 1807.
We held, lastnite, our formal jolliflcashun
at the Corners, over the result uv tho Ohio
and Pennsylvany elecsliuns. It wuz a glu
lious occasion, aud wun wich wuzculkcluted
to cheer the long deprest hearts uv the
downtrodden Himocrisy, w ich it did. The
church wuz gorgusly iloomiuatid with ran
dies, hung in festoous in tho winders.
Deekiu Pogram, in honor uv the occashun,
loaned us the use uv his two kerosccn lamps
the pride of the Corners wich wuz ar
ranged in a tubloo in front uv the pulpit,
over which wuz hung, in peeccful folds, the
two C'ontedrit Hags wich Kernel McPelter's
regiment had borne iu houor over myriads
uv ded Yankees. Tho survivin heroes uv
the Lost Coz in the visiuity wuz present, at
tired in theirsoiled unifonus.and everything
about the demonstrashun wuz ez inspiritin
ez it wuz posible to make it. Short and
pertinent addresses wuz made by ollishels uv
tbe church, w icb I wuz gratified to observe
pious vane uv tliaiikluluis run thro era.
Dtekin Pogram bhone with unwonted bril
liancy und unparalleled devoutuis. He
blessed the Lord for the mercy wich hed bin
vouchsafed us. The pecplo uv the North
hed vindicated the Skripters, and hed bin
weaued from their lubdelity. Now lie felt
he could wallup a uiggcr wuust more in
safety, aud put Lis foot unto the necks uv
the descendants uv Ham, wich wuz ordain
ed from the flood. He felt thankful for wat
bed bin done for us by Ohio and PoLnsvlva
n y, and he hoped for ex much from Noo
York. Shood Noo York complete the work
so cloriously commenst by Maine and Cali-
lorny, ana so uupny carricu ion-ni uy vuiu
and Pennsylvauy, then he shood say, "Now
let thy servant depart iu pease," It he shood
survive the joy uv the occasion, he wood to
wunst recapeber tbe niggers sicn uv em ez
wuz still in the laud uv the livin aud re
doosu em to their normal condishen. He
wood bold em by force, trustin the result uv
the next Presideusbul elecshun to ratify
what he cood uv C'ontedrit skrip, for bless
the Lord.be felt now that the Lost . Coz
wazn't as much lost ez he thot it wuz.
Other speeches wuz made, and tbe mectin,
in a state of high hilarity, adjourned to Bus

away uv tho good gifts of nachcr ; a sacri
flcin the blesains uv life to a foolish pride.
Sutliin 1 never will do.
One by one, I saw cm droop and roll gen
tly off tho benches. Issuker Gavitt first,
McPelter next, Baseom next, and finally
Deekin Pogram, like a giaut oak in a hur
ricane, tottered, rallied, tottered agin, and
flnelly fell ; aud I, feelin that my time, too,
hed come, went under likewise. I slept, and
sleepin, dreamed.
Methawt I wuz in a vast bildin constructed
in the orieutlo stile uv arketcctoor, to wit :
a roof supported by pillcrs. These pillers
wuz labelled wilh the names uv battles
fought doorin tho Bevolushen and tho last
war with Great Britten, tho strongest and
newest bein ticketed with the battles fought
doorin tho late onpleasantnis.
"Wat strukter is this?" askt 1 uv the jani
tor uv the instit'ooshun.
"Tho Temple uv Liberty !" ansercd he,
promptly.
"Wilt show it me ?" askt I.
"With pleasure, sir," snid he. "Tho pre
sent occupant uv the bildin and ho who now
bet controle nv it, is in an iuocr chamber.
Woodst see him t"
"I woodst," remarked I, and he showed
mo in.
It was a pekoolyer scene. On the carpet
on the floor wuz stretched the form uv a
giant, higher in stature, broader across the
shoulders, deeper in the clit-st, and posses
sin more indicashens uv strength and en
doorance thnn any giant I hed ever seen.
His face wuz ruther young lookin and no
ble, though onto it there was an expression
uv wearinis and sadnis. He wuz fast asleep,
and sleepin cz a man does after a terrible
expenditoor uv physiklo and mentlo
strength.
"Who is this ?" askt I uv my guide.
"Kepublikiuism !" said he.
"Ha I Wat is them wich he holds so lov

"Them is the treasures uv the Temple, uv
wich the okkupant thereof is ex ffisho guar
dian. He hez only a part uv em in his arms
ef yoo notis, ther are ten of em tinder his
heels."
I looked carefully, uud notist that they
wuz all labelled with tho names uv the
States those in his arms wuz those uv the
North, and the ten under his heels wtiz them
wich had uufortnitly failed in their attempt
to get out uv tho Temple. From the heft
uv his heel onto em, it appeared ez tho they
were under a trillin restraint. Kentucky.

bead, nnd in adisheu to ali this there wuz
barnacles and vampires, and blood-suckers
uy all kinds, which further weakened him.
Listen how hard he breathes."
And he wuz a breathin hard.
At this precise minit methawt tho guide
disappeared, and there wuz a agitashen uv
the cuitins uv tho chamber. Slowly they
lifted, aud to my surprise I sa.w teachers
wich I recognized. Vallaudygtim peered in,
and seein that the Giant wuz still asleep,
come in on tiptoe, beckonin others to follow.

Voorhees uv Injiany, Florence, Sharswood,
and Jerry Black, uv Pennsylvany ; Seward,
fernanay Wood, and Mormsey, uv New
York, aud Johnson, Pierce, Bookanan, aud
the whole, glorious company of Mailers.
Cautiously they crept iu uud timidly ranged
tliemselves about tlie slccpiu Uiant aud com
muned among themselves.
"That wuz too heavy a loud for him to
carry at his age," chuckled Ben Wood, piut-
lii to an ltniiieuso burden strapped to his
shoulders, ou wich wuz written 'Koualitv
before tho Law.' "
"Pes," sed Johnson, "but ho wood hov got
throo with it, but 1 tripped him !"
"It wuz I who put tho stone down over
wich be mostly stumbled," scd Seward in a
whisper.
"To biznis I" sed Vallandygum. "Let us
git wat we kin afore he awakens ;" and he
and Thurman slily lingered away Ohio, doin
it without disturbin him much. He did
groan slitely, nud moved uneasily. Shars
wood and Jerry Black very adroitly slipped
Pennsylvania out from under his arms, and
again he started up restlessly, but sunk
buck into his slumber ugin.
Emboldened by this, Fernando Wood and
Seymour attempted to steal away Noo York,
wich wuz tho piller onto wich his head rest
id, while they wuz manooveriu it he made a
terrible noise, ez ef be wuz in agony.
"It's the death rattle in his throat !"pipcd
the ten Staits under his heels, strivin to re
lease theii selves.
"It's the death raltlo in his throat!"
shreeked they all, tbrowin off all stealth, aud
each grabbin at a Stait.
In an instant the scene changed. They
hed overdid it. The Giant awoke, and
springin to his feet, glared fiercely onto em.
"l uo ileum rattle, isiti" suit ne, in a
voice uv thunder. "Ha 1 ha I you mistake
the snorin uv a hard sleepin giant for tbe
death rattle I What hev 1 done I Sleepin so
long and knowin all tbe time that assassins
lurked around." Shakin the barnacles off,
he luid about him lively. Me pitched For
nandy and Seymour out head over heels

Pierce, Bookannan, and that pack, and then
missin Ohio and Pennsylvany, ho observed
Vallandygum and Sharswood makin oil

after em. Two leeps sufficed, aud he wrench
ed tho Staits from their grasp, but uot, how
ever, ontil Vallandygum had bit athunderin

ez large out uv Pennsylvasy.
At this pint I awoke. The mornin sun

To ono gallon of water,
Take 1 lbs. of salt,

In this ratio the pickle to be increased to
auy quantity desired. Let these be boiled
together, until all tho dirt from tho sugar
rises to the top and is skimmed off. Then
throw it into a tub to cool, and when cold,
pour it over your beef or pork, to remain
tho usual time, say four or five weeks. The
meat must be well covered with pickle, and
6hould not be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which timo it
should be slightly sprinkled with powdered
salt petre, which removes all tho surface
blood, &c, leaving tile meat fresh and clean.
Some omit boiling tho pickle, and find it tu
answer well ; though the operation of boil
ing purities the pickle by throwing off the,

all tho skin ; cut the meat iu thin slices,
mixing together the light and dark parts.
Season with salt ami puppor. Take tho

mix it well. Shape it like a loaf of bread,
wrap it in cloth aud press with a heavy
weight for a few hours. Wheu served up it
is cut iu thin slices.
