A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION Bulwer eloqunlly says: I cannot believe that earth is man’s abiding place. It can not be that our life is cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a moment upon its waves and then sink into nothingnesa. Else why is it that the glorious aspirations which leap like angels from our hearts. are forever marching about unsatisfied? Why is that rainbow and clouds come with a beauty that is not of earth. and then pass ofl'and leave us to muse upon their favored loveliness? Why isit that the stars who hold their festivals around the midnight throne are set above the grasp of our limit ed faculties. forever mocking us with un npproachable glory? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affection to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our heartel‘ We are born for a high er destiny that of earth; there is a realm where the rainbow never fades—where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber in the ocean—and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever. EFFECT— or- TOO Mimi ACID ON THE SYSTEM. There are many persons in the world who, thinking themselves either too thin or cor pulent to accord with their beau idcat—fif symmetry and beauty of person, are ‘con stuntly exercising their minds with a view to increasing or diminishing their rotundi ty, and in many cases applying remedies for their supposel defects,.whicli eventusil ly destroy their health. Young ladies of full habits, fearing further innovation upon the system or their waists, are not slow to copious and constant droughts of‘ncidulated liquors. without reflecting that they impair, and in fact arrest, the operation of the di gestive organs. when taken beyond a cer tain point. There is reason in the vulgar notion. unhappily too fondly relied on; that vinegar helps to keep down any alarm ing obesity, and that ladies who dread the appearance in their graceful outline of curves of plumpness expanding into ink. may arrest so dreadful aresult by liberal potetions of vinegar; but this can only be accomplished at the tar more dreadful ex pense of health. The amount of acid which will keep them thin will destroy their’di vestive powers. Portal gives a case which should be a warning : i “A few years ago a. lady, in easy circum cumsmncea, enjoyed good health ;‘ she was very plump, had a goqd appetite, and a complexion bluomiugwith roses on a pol iehed ivory ground work. Shefiegan to look upon her plumpné’ss with spipmn, ful' hvr 'mntlmr wu; very fat, and she was afraidbl becoming like her. Accordingly she cnmulled .1 woman who advised her to drunk}: gluss of vinegar daily. ,The young lady lolloued {he advlce‘, and her plump ness diminished. She was delighted with the experiment; she soon began to experi ence lheeffccts. A cough and a low lever came ‘on, wuh a dufliculty of breathing; her body became lean and wasted away; swelling of her lower hmbs and feet succee ded, and a diarrhcaa terminatgd herhfe.” A RICH ANECDOTE. ! Apropos of anecdotes of college profess ors. a very good one is told ofa professor of IGerman, in a certain college, who was im i ported from‘ the vicinity of—, in Germany. .jßeing anxious to become familiar with our language as soon as possible, he was very , observant. and caught every phrase and word he heard uttered by a student 4 Hear _ing one use the expletive “damn." he sup posed it. to be some very emphatic adverb. and at oncc lsid it up‘for future use. Short ly after, being invited to the house of a Dr. of Divinity in town, where quite a company was assembled, he had occasion with the rest, to examine and admire a very fine por ‘ trait oi the said D. D. which he? had just had completed. The company. of course, ‘were lavish of their praise upon the por trait. and our German friend soon bright.- ened up as he tlmught of his choice adverb. and his exceedingly good opportunity of “showing off.” So. crowding very near, and taking a critical view. he broke forth: "‘Dnt id; von nice picture, von damn nice picture." We will not attempt to describe the con sternation ol the D. D., nor that. of the professor. when he discovered his mistake. but will only Add that. he finally managed to be instrumental in expelling the student. who taught him the unlucky expletive. The Sky an Indicator of Me Weathers—The color of the sky, at particular times, atfords wonderful good guidance. ’ Not.only does a rosy sunset presage good weather, and a ruddy sunrise bad weather, but there are other tints which speak with equal clear neas and acuracy. A hri htyellow sky in the evening indicates wing ; a. pale yellow. wet; 9. neutral gray color constitutes a fa— vorable sign in the evening, and un unfa vorable one in the morning. The clouds are again full of meaning in themselves. 'Il their forms are soft, undefined, and feathery, the weather will be fine; if their edges are hard, sharp and definite, it will‘ be foul. Generally speaking, any unusual hues betoken wind or rain; while the more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair weather. These are simple maxima; and yet‘so simple that the British Board of Trade has thought fit. to publish them for the useof seafaring men-Scientific American. Had Him—A Boston hackman recently drove a'couple of Englishmen to see Bunker Hill. Monument. Having satisfied their curiosity so farm; the Monumem was oom cerned. they rammed to the bank, where they found the driver sitting quietly upon hisysest. “I say, driver,” says one of the Englishmen, “Lhisis the place where we Englishmen gave you Yankees 3 dem’d thrashingsbouteighty yemsinoe.” “Well" any: the driver, “don’t know as love: heard ullabout. that; butfiho owns the land now 2” T’lmt’: ~Age—Some music teacher once wrote that the “art of playing on theviolin requires the nicut preception and the most gensibiiicy of any er: ii: the known world ;" upon which an editor comments in the fol lowing manner : “The art of publishing a newtpnper and making it pay, and at the same time have it. please everybody, been willing higher thim n kite." ‘ ‘ " fi-The Rebel G'efieral Pears-m. whom Rifled in thg hat Esme at atcher’l mu, «at muried only a Week before hit death, to 0. young lady in Richmond. .

PIERCE-~11 MOB “CALLS” , UPON mums span-. 011 [Letter to the Manchester Union] - I'alluded $0 a call made on Gen. Pierce Saturday night. The Patriot of 10-day con. tains an account ofit. and also the Gene ral’s response, which I enlclose.‘ The Patriot savs: * ’* At about 9 o’clock this mob num bering then from 200 to 400nppeared about the door 'of the residence of General Pierce and surprised him by vociferous calls.— Immedietely the door was thrown open, and in the blaze of the'entry light the ex- President appeared upon the steps and ad— dressed to the assemblage the lemarks which follow. it is due to the crowd to say that the moment our distinguished fellow citizen appeared and uttered one or two sentences. with the exception of occasional remarks “that’s so.” and “that’s good," “that’s true,”.n'osolute quiet and silence prevailed whjle he was speaking. » When he uttered his “good night.” they respond ed with a hearty "good night," and three cheers for the General. and retired as quiet ly as though there had been no scene of ex citement in the duy.’ This, at least, was creditable. - - SPEECH 0F GEN. PIERCE Fellow flamman : I come to ascertain the motives of this call. What. is your de sire! ' ' [Some person in the crowd replied : “We wish to hear some words from you‘on this sad occasion." Gen. Pierce proceeded] I wish I could address you‘ words of sol— ace. But that can hardly be done. The magnitude 99the calamity, in all aspects, is overwhelming. Ifjour hearts are op pressed by events more calculated to awn ken profound sorrow and regret than any which hnve hitherto occurred in our history, mine mingles its deepest regrets ahd sor— rows with yours. It is to be hOped that the great wicked ness and ttroeity was confined. morally and actually, to the heads and hearts ot‘but two individuals of all those who still sur vive on this continent; and that they may speedily. and in ohedienceto law, meet the punishment due to their unparalleled crimes. It is well that you—it is well that I—well that all men worthy to ‘be'called citizens of the United States, make mani fest, in All suitable forms. the emotions in cident to the bereavement and distress which have been brought to the hen—ribs and homes of the two most conspicuous families of the Republic. 1 give them my warm, outgushing sympathy as Lain sure all persons ‘within the hearin} ofmy voice must do. - i But beyond personal grief and loss, there i will abide with us inevitably the most ! painful memories.

AN INTENTION TO COMMIT A DESPERATE DEED AN [MMORTALITY 0F INFAMY SECURED [From the Philadelphia Inquirer.] The following verbatim copy of a letter in writing. which is the hand writing of John Wilkes Booth, the murderer of Mr. Lincoln, has been furnished us by Hon. William Millward. United States Marshal of the Eastern District of Perms 'lvania. It was handed over to that oflicer hy John S. Clarke, who is a hrother-in-law ol Mr. Booth. The history cnnnected with it is somewhat peculiar. In November. 1864, the paper was ilepositez with Mr. Clarke by 'Booth. in a sealed nvelqpe, “for safe keeping,” Mr. Clark being ignorant of its contents. In January last 300th called at Mr. Clarke’s house, asked for the package, and it was given up to him. It is now sup posed that at that time he took out the paper and added to it his signature, which appears to be in different. ink from that used‘ in the body of the letter, and also from the language employed could not have been put to it originally. Afterward he re turned the package to Mr. Clarke again for safe keeping, senied‘ and bearing’the super scription "J. Wilkesißooth.” ’ The inclosure was preserved by the fami ly without suspicion ofits nature. After the afflicting information of the assassina tion ot’the President, which came upon the .t‘amily of Mr. Clarke with crushing force, it was considered proper to open the envel ope. There were found in it the following paper, with some seven thirty United States bonds, and certificates of shares in oil com panies. Mr. Clark promptly handed over the paper to Marshal Millward, in whose custody it now remains. From a perusal of this paper it seems to have beenJJrepnred by Booth as a vindication ofsome esperate act which he had in contemplation; and from/the language used it is probable that it was a plot to abduct the President and cmry him off to Virginia. "if this was med ltated it failed, and from making a prisoner oi: the President up to his assassinationwas an easy step for a man of perverted princi ples. The italics are Booth’s own.

The very nomination of Abraham Lincoln, four years ago, spoke plninly, war—war up on Southern rights and institutions. His election proved it. “Await an overt act.” Yes. till you are bound and plundered.— What folly! The South was wire. Who thinks of argument or patience when the finger of his enemy presses on the trigger? ,In a foreign war I. too, could say,'“countr‘ right or wrong." But in a strqul'é luck as our: (where the brother tries to pierce the brother's heart) for God’s sake choose the right. When 'a country like thiq spurns justice from her sidi- she forfeits the allegi ance of every honest freeman, and should leave him. untrnmmeled by any fealty so evor, to act as hi: conscience may approve. ’ Péople of the North ! to hate tyranny, to love liberty and justice. to strike at wrong and oppression, was the teaching of our fathers. The study of our early history will not let me forget it, and may it never. This country was formed for the while not for the black man. And looking upon . Afiican alum-y from the same stand-point l held by the noble framers of our Constitu tion, I, for one, have'ever considered it one of the-greatest blessings (both for them l selves and u=) that God ever baitowed upon ‘ n rammed nation. Witness heretofore our wealth and power. witness their elevation and enlightenment above their race else where. I have lived among it most of my life, and have seen len harsh treatment from master to man than I have beheld in the North from father toson. Yet. henven knows, no one would be willing to do more for the negro race than i, could I but see a way to still Letlgr their condition. But Lincoln's policy is only preparing the way for their total annihilation. The South are not. nor have they bean/[gluing for the con tinuance of slavery. The first battle of Bull Run did away with that idea. Their causes some for war have been as noble and greater'lar than than that urged’our father: on. Even should we allow‘they were wrong at the beginning of this contest, cruelty Glidin juslice have made the wrong become the right, and they stand now (before the won- t der and admiration oftho world) as a noble . hand of patriotic heroes.
