Bright day of all the past, Brimming with tender Summer light, Too full of sun to last, One childish (Lure mil the haze Still beckons evermore, Still I, a royal slavo obey, The girl who lived next door. Sweet eglantine has bloomed sinco|then, Red maples filled anl flushed, The nightingales since then have sung. When courser sounds were bu-hel ; But ra Idy tiu.-h nor blossoms breath, Nor bird-song evermore, Will seem, as when I sat beside The girl who lived next door. For her I run the student race, For her I wonjthe prize, For love of her came houie again To reti 1 her lovely eyes , Aud when tho slurs cuiuc trooping out, Methought my cures were o'er, And I need only ask to win The girl who lived next door Tho Summer eve grow straogcly dark, The stars shone dim to ine, And roses withered as I saw Beneath tiio maple tree, My idol circled by an arm Which band and chievron bore ; A soldier's bride ; | I knew it all : ] The girl who lived next dcor. ....... When wan t'ring fir, some impulse strange, Drew home my vagrant feet, 00.-o more beneath the eglantine, Some guidance did us meet Under the window; wh'te inl still, I saw mv love once inre, When burial blossom-', sweet and whito, Unstirred her bosom bore She was not mine to win and lose, But ever mine to keep, Mine to remember lovingly On twilight's dreamy sleep ; The gladness of a day gone by. Is mine for evermore An 1 life is sweeter having loved The girl who died next d -or. GRANT, THE MONKEY, AND THE MULE. CASSABIANC'A THE SECOXD.

The niulo ran on— he'd not let go, Without Ids father's worJ— His father's faintly ciy of " whoa " Was smothered iu the crowd. The pony faster and faster.flaw, With Jocko running after; Bravocs from ihe crowd thoy drew, Convulsing all with laughter. Jocko leaped with splendor wild, * Carrying his tail on nigh, And sat behind the gallant child With mischief in his eye. There came a burst of loud applause— The hoy— O 1 was he there 1 Ask of Jocko, who, with his paws, Was combing Hiram's hair. THE EFFECT OF GROANING. —A cer tain Dutchman made his entry into New Orleans last summer, while the cliokra was racing there, ami was greatly troubled in finding a boarJing-liou>e. He inquir ed of the first one lie saw if they had the cholera in the house and learning that they had, he went to another, and another, determined not to stop at any house where the dreaded disease was doing its work of death. At la>t, aft r a long and weary search, he found one where there was no cholera, and he took up his quarters there. The master of the house was a godly man, and had a rule to have family worship.— While he was offering prayer, he groaned with some force and fervor, when the Dutchman started up and cried out— "Yot is ter matter ? " "Nothing," said tlie host. In a short time he groaned again, and the Dutchman start* d, his eyes glaring like saucers, ami exclaimed '•O.i ! mine God ! der is something ter matter mil you." "No," said the landlord ; and to calm his apprehension, he added, "I am a Meth odist, and it is the custom of the members of the Metbo list Church to groan during their devotions." This was enough for the Dutchman, who at once ruGied into tiie street for a doctor, and then begged him to run to the house on the corner. "Have they got the cholera ? " asked the doctor. "No, worse; dey got ter Metlodfs, and der man will die if you don't run quick !' WORDS FOR BOYS TO REMEMBER. — Liberty is the right to do whatever you WI-JI. without interfering will; the rights of others. Save your money and yon will find it one of tiie most useful friends. Never give trouble to your father or mother. Take care of your pennies and they will grow to be dollars. Inten.p rHtice is the cause of nearly all the trouble in the world, beware of strong di nk. " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " DECLINE OF THE NEGRO RACE IN THE SOUTH. The following, from the Marion (Ga.) ! Journal and Mrnkenrjrr, contains so much of tm latfeholy interest and so much food ! for reflection that we invite for it a carc : ful reading : The negio population of Georgia is trav I elling with giant strides towards total ex | tinction. So rapid is the decline, even | those living among it can see the decrease ! very plainly. At lite close of the war all 1 restraints imposed upon servants by virtu- I otis masters were withdrawn, and the freedtnen and the frcedwonien felt at lib ; erty to do as they pleased. This quickly : resulted —it was astonishing how quick — 'in almost universal lewdness. It is a ! world-wide fact that no race ever yet in i creased and flourished, which did not rig idly inculcate and enforce, hy the powers |of public opinion, tho strictest virtue. — i The negro, as a race, cares nothing for ■ tins, and on'y practiced, in the days ol bondage, habits of morality because be ! was forbidden indulgence in vice. No one sees one negro infant to twenty ! ten ve;rs ago. Instead of the especial ' eintnissaries sent among them by North ! em fanatical associations teaching them i habits cf virtue, they join with them in ; habits of lewdness, and, by their shame— ; less example, lead many of them on the i road to iniu. The white people of the j South lone, in a measure, lost control of I ibis population. Their former functions | have been assumed by strolling, irrespon sible men and women who had bad reptl ! tations at home, and who tied among this | simple minded people a delicious fit Mto j pracice their operations. They are rap | idlv destroying the race by pernicious pre cept and example. A few years only w ill have elapsed be ; fore thev will not he felt at the polls. — Improvident and irregular in their habits, ; gluttonous in their diet, devouting itn -1 proper food, neglected in sickness ; inor ! tality is prevailing among all ages to a far greater extent than any one dreams of. ; There are planters who used to own five i hundred who do not know of the existence of one hundred of the number. Had they not b en freed, that family would to-day number seven hundred at least. The idea tiiat they eiih r live b"tter or have more freedom now than they used to is simply •ri 'iculo is, They neither get the same | amount to eat, drink or wear. To one born and reared ammg thein, ' and w lio saw them in better days—d tys wh.nlh y were a thousand times more happy than they are now—the dissolving I view of tiiis great phamton is curiously 1 interesting and equally instructive. It ( shows how heaven sometimes creates fa i natical zeal and philanthropy to a people ; for the purpose of destroying them. As suming the form ot friendship, the work of demolition, is made the more easy and certain ; ami the poor victim only wakes up in eternity to a full realization oi the means which, commencing with his moral, was quicklv followed bv his bodily death. We, sit as it were watching a panoiama which has elicited the attention of the world, and of which the world has grown weary, roil away and rapidly pa>s from the stage. To many it is a mournful sight ito others it is curious ; while the philoso j pher set s only a solution of a problem i whose every figure he has studied ami j understands. x | A RASCALLY URCHIN.—A Boston man i tells the following newsboy story: Coupon, the corpulent banker, was ! standing in State Street one hot dav in I August, ''wiping the serville drops ofi his brow, ' when a ragged hut a sharp-eyed | newsboy accosted Imn with ; "Please, sir, tell n e tbe time ! " Coupon lugged out his Fordsham, and ! looking bcnignanlly down to his interloc utor, responded : "Just two o'clock." "All right, old buffer," said the gamin, gathering his legs together for a run.— "You ea-i sell out for soap grease at thiee I o'clock " The insulted man of money raised his | cane and, making a frantic uish at his tor ' mentor, nearly fell over a friend that was i ct nii g up. the stiect. "Hallo, (Vupon, what's the matter?" ! said the other. "Matter" said Coupon, puffing with I heat and anger, why one of those darn 1 new-b iv> a?ked me tho time, and when I I told him two o'clock, the impudent young ■ scoundrel said I might scil out tor soap grease at three.' ! "Don't he in such a hurry," was tiie i malicious response, "it's only five minutes past two ; vou've got fifty-five minutes to l do it. in." "A GAL BARY AT THAT."—To desire a change of sex is not commonly considered a manlv aspiration; to weep about it seems ludicrous. Vet the thing lias been done, and on the tent'-d field. In the very fiercest of the battle at Malvern Hill, General Lee encoui tered a tall Shonny Bcb in full retreat, aud blubbering tcar -1 fully. He stopped him and shamed him ; ; but the fellow <p -nly avowed cowardice, and he said he knew lie was a cowaid I. w hen they 'script him. "Well," said the patient but vexed General, "that mat be. but you need bel low about it like a great baby." 1 hßabv ! " echoed the conscript, "I wish I was a baby, and a gal baby at that. As a warrior, the General regarded the parly defective, and passed not for further colloquy. fzg- Vote the whole Democratic ticket. A SINGULAR STOKY —The bodv of Mi-s | Kate Orupper, the unfortunate young lady who committed suicide a short time ago hy leaping from the blurt at Fort Picketing into the Mississippi river, was recovered on Thursday evening about five o'clock, near the spot where she was seen to leap into the river. The remains were interred in Elmwood ( ernetary the same evening. A curious storv its told relative tothe recoverey of the body. It appeared that the uncle of Miss Gi upper, Mr. J Bachman, to whom she sent her last letter, off-red for the recovery of the remains of the deceased. This reward excited the ingenuity of a young man who is engaged in the vicinity of the place where the sad tragedy oc curred. lie had heard or read ot an ex- ! per merit relative to dead bodies in water, to the effect that if a loaf of bread, charged with quick-ilver. floaD d about the place where the body had disappeared, the loaf would immesiiatelv sink when ii eajne over the place where the body had lodged at the bottom of the water. He tried the ex periment and declares ii was succ sfnl.! lie waited almost eight and day for devil- i opments, and while on the watch on Tiiurs- , day afternoon he heard a loud noise like tfie <1 schargt; of a subm trine cannon, an 1 to his astonishment the body almost imine- j iliately floated on the surface of the water win re the |..at sank. He manged to tow j the body ashore, and then inform d the j friends of the deceased of the discovery he j had made, and the remains were conveyed | to the residence of her uncle on Shelby street, — Memphis liulletin, 1 'ilh. ' A MODERN SAMSON Henry Fuller, a J mm of color, was convicted at the last j term of the Anderson county (Ivy ) Ciicuit j Court, of the offence of cutting with intent ] to kill, and sentenced to the penitentiary j for one year. When first arrest upon the j charge ha gave bail for his appearance i His bail, In coming d.s-atisfied, attempted, j with the assistance of another man, to ar- | rest him. Henry declined to go to ja •, j and seizing oue of the men with each hand j took tin m up and ran across a field with 1 them wiilt apparent ease, lie WHS, how- ' ever, finally anested, and when committed tojad it was found that ordinary trace chains were insufficient to c uifiiie his limbs, and a heavy clasp of iron made expressly for the purpose, and fastened with three strong rivets, was placed upon his anklas. After his convitftioii lie succeeded in bend ing this piece of iron in such a manner a to free Ins limbs, broke the locks upon the j door of the jail and made his escape. All this seems to have been effected without the aid of any tool, as none was found. Another prisoner who was in the jail at the time states that the escape occurred while he was asleep, t.ud that he knew nothing of it till next motning. WE PASS FOR WHAT WE ARE, —A man parses for what he is worth. Very idle is • all curiosity concerning other people's es- | tiimtion of us, and all fear for remaining j unknown is not less so. Ii a man know, j that he can do anything—knows that lie can do it better than anybody else—he has the pledge of acknowledgment of I hat fact hy all persons Tne world is full of judg-1 inent days, and into every engagement that j a man enters; ir.to every action that lie at- | tempts, he is ganged and stamped. In every troop of boys that hoop ar.d run in each yard and square, a new coiner is well and accurately weighed in tbe course of a few days, and stamped with his right num ber, as if he had undergone a formal trial of his speed and temper. A stranger comes from a distant school, with a betb-r dress, trinkets in his pockets, with airs and pre tensions. An older boy says: ''lt's of no use; we shall find him out to morrow."—~ Ralph Waldo h'merxon. SOCIAL KINDNESS. —IIow sweet is social affection! When tne world is dark with out. we have light within. \\ hen the cares disturb the breast —w hen sorrows brood around tbe heart —what joy gathers in the circle of love ! We forget the world, with all its animosities while blessed with social kindne-s. That man cannot be cold who has In aits that vilnate in sympathy with | his own who is cheered hy the smiles of j affection ami the voice of tenderness. Let j the world b- dark and cold —let the hate , ami animosity ol had men gather around the plaee of buincss —but wlmn he enters the aik of love —his own cherished circles j —he forge's all these—the cloud passes from his brow. and the sorrow from his heart. The warm sympathies of his wife and children dripe! every shadow, and he feels a thrill of joy in his bosom, that, words are not adequate to express. He who is a stranger to joys ol social kindness has not begun to live. CtT A little girl, at hoarding school, re sponded as follows to a note from her fa ther, announcing an interesting event in the family: "My o<ar Pop —l was right glad to hear from yon, and that you were well, but I did not like it a bit to bear that mother hail a baby, because it was a boy. I should be glad if it were a little girl, hut 1 hate boys—they are not nice Now I am going to tell yon what I want you to name linn. lam going to choose a liom ly name, because I don't think boys ought to have pretty names. Roys are squealing all the time. You don't have one minute's peace while there is a boy , baby in the bouse; hut a girl baby is a good thing to have in the house, for it never cries. Name him Yuba Dam; that's good enough for a boy. You must excuse me for writing so much about boys; tbe reason I wrote so much about boys is because I don't like boys. My love to ma, and tell her I hope she will do better next time." | THREE THOUSAND YEARS OLD. The oldest lelic of humanity extant, is ; the skeleton of the earliest l'haraobs, in cased in its original burial robes, and won derfully perfect, considering its age, which was deposited about eighteen or twenty months ago in the British Muscun, and is jn-tly considered the most valuable of its archaeological treasures. The lid of the I coffin which contained the royal mummy was inscribed with the name of its occu pant, Pharaoh Mykerimus, who succeeded the heirs of the builder of the great pyra mid, about ten centuries before Christ. Only think of it—the monarch, whose crumbling holies and leathery integuments are now exciting the wonder of numerous I gazers in London, reigned in Egypt before Solom in was born, and only about eleven centuries or so after Mizraim, the grandson of ol I father Noah and the first o! Pharoahs, had lieett gathend to his fathers! Why, the tide mark of the deluge could scarcely have heen obliterated, or the gopher wood knee timbers of the ark have rotted on Mt. ] Aarat, when this man of the early world i lived, movi-d and had his being ! I Its flesh anil blood were contemporary with the progenitors of the great patriarch ! ILs bones and shriveled skin ate contemporary ! with the nineteenth centurv, ami the dat -1 of the <'runitixion is only about midway be tween his era and ours. One Item. The people are taxi-d yearly about Jive i millions of dollars to pay the salaries of of- I fl iers and regular employees of the Freed | man's Bureau. This is exclusive of all in- I cMeutai exp"rises incutred hy that u-eful ' institution for electioneering purposes, and lof all money and rations issueo to dilapi j dated and lazy negroes, which amount in i the gross, evt-n, according to radical figures | which usually lie, to about thirty millions jof dollars more. Here we have one little I item ol -su.""),000,000 wrung by taxation ! from the white labor of the country for the j sole purpose of maintaining in idleness, J and controling tbe votes of Southern ne ! groes. Rut there is another and larger item. To keep tip the pet raited policy rcconstruelion, and as a measure of protec tion of three millions of ignorant, help'ess blacks, requires the employment of nearly tin- whole force of the army, which in the last three years,accotding to radical figures, lots cost over nine hundred mill ions of dol lars—over Ihrre hundred millions a year — j a'l to he paid by taxes collected from north j ern white labor. —Think f it white men who work for your bread.

The art of heing agreeable is to appear will phased with all company; and rather losein well entertained with them than j to bring entertainment to them. A man ! ibus disposed, may not have much learning jor wit, but if lie has c minon sense, and j something friendly in his behavior, it concil itates men's minds more titan than the brightest parts without this disposition; aud when a man of such a turn comes to old age, lie is almost sure to he treated j with respect. It is true, that we should ! not dissemble and flatter in company; but a man m iy he very agreeable strictjy con sistcnt with truth ami sincerity by prudent silence where he cannot concur, and a pleasing assent where he can. Now and then you ireet with a per*on so exactly formed to please, that he will gain upon every one who hears or beholds him; this disposition is not in-rely a gilt of nature, but frequently the effect of much knowl edge of the world, aud a command over , the passions. The Tribune for Repudiation. In a recent speech, Mr. Vallandigham is charged with saying that the Republicans would increase tin- public debt to $5,400, OuO.otlO. The Tribune says Mr. Viillnn lingham itclifienitely lie? when he as serts th it the Kiqiu'lbiins propose to increase the ! debt to $ ,40'l,!)UU,PCd ft w? not $2,600,000,000 ' on the Ist insl , but #2 510.000,000; and that is every ! cent thai we intend to make it or to pay. Whoevei ! controverts this is a foolish, reckless liar. According to the report of the Secratary |of the Treasury, the public debt, less cash in Treasury, on ilie first of August, amount j t-tl tu ¥2,525,53 4,4§0, There is the li'.tle j difference between the Tribune , s sta'ement I and McL'ulloch, of $13,534,481. The debt | of $2,510,G0D,000 '"is every cent that they I intend to make it, or.fo puyf of course all l above ri'ai stun, the Tribune is ready to throw overboard or repudiate ! have at had one giil of un doubted "loyalty" in Illinois. Judge Grit fin was holding couit in Aledo, while a camp meeting was in progress near by.— I Certain young ladies over from the ' camp ground and solicited lodgings. The j landlady replied that every bed in the ' house contained two lodgers except one. and that was occupied b} Judge Griffin. "But ' come up stairs," she said, "and I will find a place for you.', She led. The young la | dies followed.
