A LITTLE UAIL.ERY. $Y 0BPHEU9 C KERR. ''Kiss me, DoIIie. dearest one, Lay your head upon my shoulder ; Will you go and be a nun, VYbea your lover's hand is colder ?' "Will his mangled last remains , Win from yon a tear of pity? Oh, that other things than trains, Took us to a neighboring city." Wildly gazed she in my face, Crying, as she clang about me, "Robbie, ic the name of grace, Go away you shan't without me ! "Why, I thought you only meant, Just a business trip to make it; Yet you seem on dea;h intent : Have you stole my heart to break it ?" "Wherefore speak of death at all ; Arn't you coming back to morrow ? Let me some physician call What has crazed you, joy or sorrow ? ' "Do'Iie darling" low I spoke "Don't jon kno by rail I'm going? Every train there's some'hing broke, By the daily papet' fchowing. " Ti a sure a snre can be, Thai i-ome accident will happen ; Likely the first bridge we see Will give away and let us slap in. "Or, a train of freight we'll strike, Or another train ran into; Connt on life, with death so likely- Welt you know 'twould be a sin to." S.idlj drcop'd her pretty head, Like a lily r idaly shaken ; "If for life you care a red, Star at honfe and 5avc jour bacon !"' The Sonlbern People. Mny Southern people seem lo think that their Sta'es cannot be relievcM of the intoler able oppressions ol the Freedmen' Bureau and martial law, and all tbe concomitant evils of their anomalous condition, unless their representatives be admitted to Con gress. While we admit that the presence in Congress of "'fil" representatives for the Seotbeni States is greaily to be desired by the people of those States, we cannot tee that there is any necessary connection be tween the continuance of Provisional Gov ernments and the Freedmen's Bureau, and the perpetoation of martial law, in the South ern Slates on the one hand, and the admis sion of their representatives into Congres on the other. The President can, at any day, withdraw the garrisons which now disturb the peace of the South; he can blot out of existence that roost dangerous organization, the Freedmen's Bureau; he can restore to the people of the lately Confederated States all the blessings of constitutional' freedom and civil law, except that one of represen tatioc in Congreis. And he can do all this, without consulting Congress at all. And such being the case we cannot appreciate the argument of those. who maintain that it ia tbe duty of the Southern people to submit to every wrong, and ;o sacrifice every con stitutional right that they have, and to vol untarily hamiliate themselves and dishonor those who have given up their lives in de fense of Virginia, in order (o induce the Radicals to concede to their Representatives that which fbey have a constitutional right to demand admission to their seats. ' Right Men m the Right Places. The Radicals are furious, because tbe people of Mississippi do not consider service in (he Confederate army a personal disqualifica tion for service of any sort under the new order of things.. Indeed, the Southern citi zens, generally.evince a great inclination to confide rather in those who risked all, than in those who shirked all. Hence, tbey pre fer. 'nee a for office who bravely fought for a principle, and then gracefully surrendered when it was no longer possible to defend that, principle 'on the battle-field prefer those to the trimmers ' whose plucfc shrunk w.ithin interest, and whose vaanted loyalty waa onlylhe virtue of wanting courage to encounter danger. We are satisfied that Southern voters would, in most case,, soon er elect to office outspoken, honest Radicals of the Greeley type, than men who, agree in 7 with tbem in the main, timidly excused themselves from charing a common danger. Tbe men they have tried, they are apt. to trust. :T.'.'vf . "".' - f . ? - .

Tbe Cfenrth, North and South. . When a man becomes ; a Christian' he dops not cease to be a citizen. All the laws defining and regulating his (dates to the State and lo society not only remain in full force, but they are, in fact, more binding as obligations, being, enforced by, higher sanctions. This general doctrine is so folly recognized in our day, and has been so constantly affirmed even in purely secular type, during the four years last past, that it is unnecessary to enlarge upon it. Any one who will take the trouble to consult the de liverances of the most ultra-loyal newspa pers, beginning with the Tribune, and going down the scale until he reaches the Inde pendent, will find a multitude of short ser mons upon this topic. Tbe most remarka ble point of agreement, in all these extra parochial discourses, is the unanimity with which the self-appointed preachers have provided a kind of extra damnation for sins not enumerated in the old canon. Nothing less could be expected in this progressive age. While this is true enough, it is also true that human history records no conflicts more dire than those between human authority on one side and ecclesiastical bodies on the other. The latest example of any magni tude is on the exodus of the Free Church of Scotland, where the first ground of com plaint on the part ol the seceding body, and the proximate cause of their withdrawal, was the assumption of authority by the civil power over purely spiritual concerns. There was no dispute upon doctrinal points, no attempt at interference with forms of worship. The established Church ol Scot land to this day holds to tbe same identical standards, and the simple question dividing this Beet, and causing the loss of a thousand congregations to the prosperous establish ment, was, whether Christ or Caesar was the supreme head of the Church. How much ol worldly loss was bravely endured by the Free . Church, and how nobly its members reponded lo the heavy demands made upon them during their conflict in defense of tin naked principle, is per fectly wfll known to all who are familiar with recent Church history. Although there 8re no civil laws, prop erly so called, regulating ecclesiastical mat ters in t!is country, yet, the who!e Protest ant Church Norh, with a lew noble excep tions, ha gradually drifted into the political arena, since war began. It cannol be said that the pressure came from without the Church. If the old confervative spirit which secured at the first freedom of religious belief in America had remained in the Churcb, h is not likely that the civil au orlty wonld ever have dared fo trespass upon her sacred threshold. I; was the loy alty of tbe church members that placed the National Flag above the Cross on her lofty spires. It was the loyalty of her ministers hat invented new forms of prsyer,in which God was formally instructed every Sabbath day as to what the North American Chris tian Church had a right to expect of Him. It was the hatred of sins which God had neglected to enumerate in His divine law of prohibitions and the love of heavenly virtues nowhere found in His Revelation that inJcced his servants, lay and clerical, to provide new tests of church member ship, and to add supplemental torments to the penal fires of Tophet. Only once, in a history of fifty centuries, can a parallel be found. Only once before aid the recognized representatives of God's Church dare to cry in the face of Heaven "We have no King but Cajar !" The marked contrast presented in the un changing attitude of the Southern Church cannol have escaped the attention of any candid man. The circumstances surround ing her members were not similar to those in which their Northern brethern found themselves. It will never be known how much of suffering the South has endured in four years of desolation and war; but it will never cease to be known, and to re dound to the honor of bercborch members, how unflinchingly ihey bore their afflictions while the contest lasted In all the public expressions of ber various Church Courts,4 the existing calamity was regarded as a chastisement divinely inflicted, and no trace of that vindictive, bloodthirsty spirit with which we have been so familiar, ever dis graced her pulpits. Many of her public ministers died with arms ia their hands fighting the battles of tbe only country they recognized or acknowledged; many more will carry the marks of the conflict to their graves. And the duty ever present to those much enduring men and women, in minister ing lo the wants of the wounded and dying, in consoling tbe bereaved, and in proclaim ing the sublime troths of Christianity, with out partisan admixture, was so performed as to challenge the respect and admiration of all Christendom. Amid the stern reali ties, visible in thousands of desolate homes, her ministers found no lime for Quixotic expeditions to reconquered ports, to preach peans )o the stars and bars. And now thai all their dreams of independence are lost in a rude awakening, we find these men submitting' with heroic fortitude to the -dispensations of Providence, and seeking without exception the . restoration of fra ternal relations with the ; Northern Church. We will endeavor to show, hereafter, how tLis restoration may be brought about. N. Y.

' . Desperation. : The following is a passage from the very laughable lale of "Desperation," one of the rich articles which are embraced in the literary remains of the late Willis Gaylord Clark. It ia only necessary to premise that the author is a Philadelphia student, who, after a stolen fortnight amid the gaitie of a Washington season, finds himself, (through the remissness'of a chum) at Baltimore on his way home, without a penny in his pock et. He stops at a fashionable hotel, never theless, where, after tarrying for a day or two, he finally, at the head of a great din ner, "omne sous," in his private apartment, flanked with abundant Champagne and Burgundy, resolves to disclose all to tbe landlord. Summoning a servant, be said : "Ask the landlord to step up to my room and bring his bill." He clattered down stairs laughing, and shortly after his master appeared. He en tered with a generous smile, that made me hope for "the best his house afforded," aud that just ihen, was credit. "How much do I owe yon?" said I. He banded me the bill with all the grace of a private expectancy. "Let me fee seventeen dollars. How very reasonable ! But, my dear sir, the most disagreeable part of the matter is now to be disclosed. I grieve to inform you that at present I am out of money, and I know, by your philanthropic looks, that you will be satisfied when I tell yon that it I had it, I would give it lo you with unqualified pleasure. Bui you see my not having ihe change by me. is the reason 1 cannot do it. I am a stranger to you, that's a fact, but in the place 1 came from, all my acquaint ances know me as easy as can be-" The landlord turned all colors "Where do you live, and how ?" "In Washin I sheuld say Philadelphia." ' I see how it is, roister ; my opinion is that you are a blackleg. You don't know where your home is ; you begin with Wash ington and (ben drop it for Philadelphia. Yon must pay your bill." 'But I can't." - "Then I'll take your clothes ; if I don't, blow ma tight." "Scoundrel," said I, rising bolt upright, "do that if you dare, and leave the rest to me There were no more words. He arose deliberately seized my bat and my only inexpressibles and walked down stairs. Physicians say that two excitements can't exist at the same time in one system. Ex ternal circumstances drove away, almost, immediately, ihe confusion of my brain. I rose and looked out of the window. The snow was descending as I drummed on ihe pane. What was I to do? An unhappy sans culottes in a strange city ; no money, and slightly inebriated. A thought struck me. I had a large fall cloak, which, with all my other appoint ments, save those he took, tbe landlord had spared. I dressed immediately, drew on my boots over m fair drawers, not unlike small clothes ; put on my cravat, vest and coat, laid a travelling cap from my trunk jauntily over my forehead, and flinging my fine long mantle gracefully about me, made my way through the ball into the street. - Attracted by the shining lamps of the portico of a new hotel, a few squares from my first lodgings, 1 entered, recorded some name on the books and bespoke a bed. Everything was fresh and neat, every ser vant attentive, all augured well. 1 kept myself closely cloaked, puffed a cigar and retired to bed to mature my plot. "Waiter, jast brush my clothes well, my fine fellow," said 1, in the morning, as he entered my room; "mind the pantaloons; don't spill anything from the pockets there is money in both." I don't see no pantaloons." "The devil yon don't. Where are they?" "Cac't tell, I'm sure ; 1 don't know, s'elp me God!" ' Go down, sir, and tell your roaster to come here immediately." The publican was with me in a moment. I bad risen and worked my face before the mirror into a fiendish look of passion. "Landlord!" exclaimed I, with a fierce gesture, (1 have been robbed in your house robbed, sir robbed ! my pantaloons and purse containing three fifty dollar notes, are gone ! This is a pretty hotel. Is this tbe way yon fulfill tbe injunctions of Scripture ? I am a stranger and bave been taken in with a vengeance. I will expoee you at once if I am not recompensed." "Pray keep you temper," replied , the publican.' "I bave just opened this house, and it is getting a good run ; would you ruin its reputation by an accident? I will find out the villain who robbed you, and I will send' for a tailor to measure yon for your missing garments. ; Your money shall be refunded. Doyen see that yoor anger is useless ?"', "My dear sir," I replied, "I thank you for your kindness I do cot mean to re preach yon. If those trowsers can be done to-day, I shall be satisfied; time is more precious than money. Yon may keep the others if yon find them, and in exchange for tbe one hundred and fitly dollars which yon give me, tbe contents are yours." The next evening, with new inexpressi bles, and one hundred and forty dollars in my pocket, I called upon my guardian in Philadelphia for sixty dollars.' He gave ii with a lecture on collegiate dissipation that I shall not soon forget. ,1 enclosed the money back to ray honorable landlord by the first post, settled my other bill at old Crnstj's, tbe first publican, and il my tiunk by mail. Jet It is now about two years since this little word has become quite prominently associated in the popular mind with the fe male toilet. One can indeed hardly peruse an article on the fashions of the day without meeting it at least half a dozen times, and every lady out shopping seems in quest of iet buttons, bracelets, brooches, pins, &c. But when we aek what this jet really is,! whence it comes, who invented it, few are able to give a satisfactory reply. It may therefore not be amiss lb explain here the nature of this importaut aud popular arti cle Jet, be it known, is a natural, not an arti ficial substance. Externally it ranks next to lava or polished coal, being in fact a spe cies of earth coal, nearly related to the j brown, although some naturalists proneunce it to be hardened pitch. It burns very redi ly, gives out a greenish flame, and diffuses a resinous odor or combustion. Extremely fragile and brittle,! I weighs somewhat heav ier than water, and is found in France and Spain in the lower, and in England in the upper strata of the Jura formation, usually between or in the immediate vicinity of brown coal deposits. The substance is brought to the surface in large blocks, whose handling is very difficult on aocount of its brittleness. The blocks are carefully sawed into pieces approaching in size pret ty closely the objects for which Ihey are to be used. By means of a finely pointed steel the outline of the shape into which the piece is to be carded is then traced on the surface, and the work proceeds to comple tion with knife and chisel, like any ordinary wood carving. Last of all comes the pol ishing process, by which the substance, or iginally of a brownish color, receives tbe bright black lustre that has rendered it so very popular with tbe ladies as an article of ornament. But as, according to Solomon, there is nothing new under the pun, so jet ip nov elty. It was known to the ancients, who used it for the lame purposes as ourselves. Jet ornaments have frequently been discov ered in Roman and in ancient British tombs. Among the articles lately exhumed in Pom peii were brooches, bracelets and chains of jet, so artistically wrought as to defy mod ern imitation. England has since remote limes been the chief depositary of jet, and manufactures of the article flourished in that country long ago. In the days of Queen Elizabeth the town of Wbitely had already established quite a reputation for the extent of its jet manufactures. In a manuscript dated 1730, entitled : "The Journey of a Portuguese Merchant, Don Manuel Gonz ales, in Great Britain," the author speaks of a j at being found in Yorkshire. In the course of the last century the nse of the substance for ornaments appears to have rapidly declined, and it was left to tbe cap ricious humor of fashion to raise its reputa tion once more in popular esteem. The manufacture of jet is of no 6mall im portance to the places that have engaged in it as a regular branch of industry. The town of Whitely continues of considerable note to the present day, and exported last year over 30,000 sterling worth of jet or naments. Its manufacturers got op an exhi bition last fall, when the beauty, variety, and finish of tbe articles exhibited received en thusiastic praise lrora artistic and industrial sources. Io Oviedo, in the Spanish prov ince of Asturia, jet is also manufactured, but ' its prodocts do not appear to command such high prices as the English. What Ex Rebel Generals are Doing. The New Orleans Picayune says: One of the distinguished Major Generals in the con federate service of this State is, we learn, about to take charge of the construction and repair of the wharves for one of the con tractors with the city. Two brigadiers have already secured places in the Com mercial Expret.8 Company. One brigadier is prosperously engaged in the business of boss drayman. There are other Generals who are spoken of as civil engineers on our railroads. All most every e'ore has a colonel or a major. There are three distinguished colonels extensively engaged in the auction business. Ooe colonel who has heretofore directed big guns with skill and heroism in some of the fiercest battles of tbe war, is now selling bale ropeand bagging; anothert one of StonewallJackson'sfavorite regimental commanders, is pressing cotton. The Honey Moon. Why is the first month after marriage called the "honey moon?" Doubtless on account of the sweet lunacy which controls the heads of the par ties during that brief and delightful period. What a pity that thejf should ever get quite rational again! that sentimentality 6hould give place to sentiment, sentiment to sense, love yield to logic, and fiction to fact, till the happy pair are reduced from the Eden of romance to tbe Sahara of reality from Heaven to earth and perhaps a peg lower! Strange as it may seem, there bave been couples who have quarrelled in the first month of matrimony, and have got back to their astonished parents before tbe good .mother had fairly done weeping, (and re joicing loo) at ter daughter s departure. Their "honey mooa" soured at the fall of her horn, and became a, moon of vinegar, instead. "A bad omen thatl There was much sense and propriety in the lext which the ancient clergyman chose for a wedding sermon.: It was taken; from the Psalms of David, and read tans: "And let there U peace vhil the moon endurclk." - A clergyman said in a recent sermon that the path of rectitude had been travelled so little of late years it had 'completely run lo grass.

Instead of proceeding in the cor rection of any abuses which might exist by those slow and cautious steps which grad ually introduce reform without ruin, which may prepare and fit society for that better state of things designed for it, and which, by not attempting impossibilities, may en large the circle "of hapiness. The revolu tionists of France pursued the cruel and wicked project of spreading their doctrines equality among persons and between dis tinctions and prejudices which exist, to be subdued only by the grave. Tbe rage excited by the pursuit of this visionary an I baneful theory, after many threatning symp toms, burst forth on the 23d of August, 1794, with a fury alike destructive and general In one night a preconcerted insurrection of the blacks took place in the colony of St. Domingo: and the white inhabitants of the country, while sleeping in their beds, were involved in one indiscriminate slaughter, from which neither age or sex could afford an exception. Only a few females, reserved for afate mors cruel than death, were spared; and not many were fortunate enough to escape into the fortified citie. cum in the time of Augustus Caesar there were two persons living in Rome called Idusio and Secudila, each of whom exceeded ten feet in Light. Their bodies, after death, were kept and preserved as miracles or cn riosity in a sepulchre wi'hin the Snllestain gardens. Pliny names a certain Gabara, who in the days af Claudius was broujht out of Arabia; and says he was nine feet nine inches hiah. The Emperor Maximin, originally a Thracian peasant, measured eight feet and a half. His . wife's bracelets served him as rings. His voracity was such that be consumed forty pounds of flesh daily, and drank IS bottles of wine His strength was proportionable to his gigantic shape. He could draw a loaded wagon without help, and with a blow of his fistoftimes broke the teeth in a hoaries month. He also crushed the hardest stones between bis fingers; and cleft trees with his hands. Pliny alio speaks of Polydemas, a celebrated athlete, who exceede all men of his day in stature and in strength. In Moent Olympus be killed a lion with his fist, being unprovided with any other arms. He could stop a chariot with his hand in its most rapid course. Once he singled out the lar gest and fiercest bull from a herd took hold of him by one of bis hind feet, and notwith standing his struggles to escape, held him with such strength that bis hoof remained in his hand. How to Treat Fkozen Limb. The juices of the fleshy tissues, when frozen in their minute cells, at once become in each of these inclosures crystals, having a large number of angles and sharp points, and hence, robbing tbe flesh causes tbem to cut or tear their way through the tissues, so that when il is thawed the structure of the mus cles is more or less destroyed. The proper ! mode of treatment is this: When any part j of the body is frozen, it should be kept! perfectly quiet until it is thawed out. which should be done as promptly as possible. As freezing lakes place from the surface in wardly, so the thawing should be in the reverse order, from the inside outwardly The thawing out of a portion of the fleshes, without, at tbe same lime putting the blood from the heart into circulation through it, produces mortification ; bul by keeping the more external parts still congealed nntil the internal heat and the external blood gradu ally soften the more interior parts, and pro duce circulation of the blood, as fast as the thawing takes place, most of the dangers are obviated. If the snow which is applied is colder than ihe frozen flesh, it will fur ther extract tbe heat, and freeze it worse than before ; but if the snow is of the same temperature, it will keep the flesh from! thawing until the rest of-the body shall have effected it, thus preventing gangrene. Wa!er, in which snow or ice has been plac ed, so as to keep its temperature at thirty - two degrees Fahrenheit, is probably better than snow. The following are among the notices pnt up at a petroleum town in Western Penn sylvania: "No talking wiih the chamber maid" "Fare as high as any other bouse" "Not responsible for boots left in the ball." "No sardines admitted." - - . Every man, no matter bow lowly he may appear to himself, might endeavor to pro duce something for the benefit or nse of society ; remembering, that an insect fur nishes by its labor material wherewith to form the regal robes of kings. - - - Secretary Seward calls John Erown-"a martyr in tbe cause of human nature.'- President Johnson calls John Brown"a mur derer, a robber, a thief and a traitor."

Some ol them feel that their lot is indeed a hard one, and their highest ambition is to go to the city and see "all the sights." v Bui let us talk to our farmers' boys. You are in the right place. Yon are learning ' habits of industry and frugality. By your daily toil you are acquiring a sound con stitution a most important matter; and this is one of the reasons most of our great men have come from farmers' boys. They have grown up robust, with constitutions, that could endure a great amount of mental labor, which youths from ihe city with.weak and feeble frames, could not stand.

An Irish Woman in Kansas. A letter from Wyandjtte relates a remark able instance of success under difficulties as follows. - - "In 1860, an Irish woman a widow whose only means consisted of four hundred dollar in money, some half dozen children, took one hundred and sixty acres of Govern ment land. . Since then she hak increased this, by the assistance of her children and -now owns 1,200 acres, all paid for. This year she sold ber buter for S900 She has recently sold the balance of ber last year's corn crop, 1.200 bushels, for 52,50 a boshel, which is S3'l00. Last week she sold 22 bead of oxen for 575 each, for 21,650. So that ihe pro duce of the farm, over and above keeping the family, had been over S6.0C0. She has now on hand 160 head ol catile of all sizes, far 28 of mhich she refused $50 each. She has 20 firkins of butter in the cellar, which averages 120 lbs. each, and which she says she will get 75 cents per pound, by taking il to some of the posts higher op. She has, also, hogs ia abundance, end 65 acres of growing corn, aud which will produce 80 bushels to the acre." Now this seams like exageration, bnt it is literally true. rraetieal Jokes Played by a Horse. . Though many curious tricks and mischiev ous but harmless capers bave been played by horses within our knowledge, yet it is hard to give credit to the foliowing anec dote from an English paper: There was, some years ago, a very fine horse in the posession of Henry Meox & Co., the eminent brewers. It was used as a dray horse, but was so tractable that he was left sometimes without restraint, to walk abont the yard and return to ihe stable, according to his fancy. In tbe yard, there were also a few pigs of peculiar breed, fed on grain and corn, and to these pigs the horse had evidently an insuperable objection. There was a deep trough in the yard, holding water for the horses, where this horse went often, taking his mouth full of corn. When ' ' he reached the trough, he let the corn fall near it on the ground, and when the young swine approached it (for the old ones kept aloof) be would suddenly seize one of thena I by lhe ,ai, PP niBa int0 the 'nh, and then caper about the yard, seeming deligh ted with the frolic. Tbe noise of the pig soon brought the men to his assistence,who knew from experience what was the matter while the horse indulged in all sorts of an tics to sbow glee, and then returned quietly to bis stable. A Chicago joker contributes the following to the Drawer. We hope it is not a sam ple of Chicago husbands : There lived on S Street, Chicago, a hard-working man, who always attended to business befors pleasure. In this be was right. One day his wife waa taken sick and the next day she died. The hus- ! band kept at his work as usual, and after the funeral he returned to his labors. "How is this?" asked one of bib neigh bors, "Can't yon stop to mourn a little ?" "No, sir," was the reply. "Business be fore pleasure." " And the old fellow retnrneJ to his bench. A Hearty Welcome. A woman who had cot seen her husband lor three long years, caught sight of him in the ranks of of one of the returning regiments, in Port land, last week, as it was marching through the streets. Affection got. the better of strict -decoram and the overjoyed woman rushed to the ranks, embraced ber husband, and marched along by his side amid the cheers of the spectators. Though not accor ding to etiquette this was undoubtedly more satisfactory - lo tbe returning hero than to bave found her wedded to another man, at many a poor soldier boy has done. - J
