There were two untni.-itakably good effects consequent on their sojourn, how ever ; Kate tugs satisfied to remain quiet ly at home for the rest of her life, and Charles was completely cured of every latent tendency to flirt! The Value of a Bit of Knowledge. In the course of our miscellaneous read ing, we came across the following good story, which illustrates the value of a bit of practical information, when applied at the right time: In the Plaza before St Peter's at Borne stands the most beautiful obelisk in' the world. It was brought from the circus of Nero where it had lain buried for many ages. It was one entire piece of Egyptian marble, 72 feet high, 12 feet square at the base, and 8 feet square 4t the top, and is computed to weigh about 470 tons, and .is supposed to bo 3,000 years old. Much engineering skill was required to remove and erect this piece of art ;and the celehrafed architect, Dotnincio Pen tane was selected and engaged by Pope Sextufl e,arry..out_the.operationz..A_ pedestal, 30 feet high, was built for its ,reception, and the obelisk brought-to its,'. base. Many were the ingenious contri vances preparegifor the raising of it to its-last resting plebe, all of which excited the deepest' interest among the 'people At lerigth everything was in readiness, Y 1~ I/1 1 il\ "A. 111 Fv' - f it t " ) .Iqt and .. 11 . day appointed for the great event. A great multitude assembled to wit ness the ceremony , and the Pope afraid that the clamor of the people might dis tract, the all cation of the architect., issued an edict containing regtations to he kept, and imposing the severest penalties on any one who should during the lifting of the gigantic stone utter a single word. Amidst suppressed excitement of feelings and breathless silence, the splendid mon ument was gradually raised to within a few inches of the top of the pedestal, when its upward moti n ceaf•icil ;1t hung suspended. and could not be got further, the tackle was too slack, and there seemed • to be no other way than to undo the great work already accomplished. The annoy ed architect, in his perplexity, hardly knew how to act, while the silent people were anxiously watching every motion of his features to discover how the problem would b 2 solved. In the crowd was an old British sailor. Ile saw the difficulty and how to over come it, and with stentorian lungs he shouted, "Wet the ropes l" The vigilant police pounced on the culprit and lodged him in prsion : the architect caught the magic words, lie put the proposition in force, and the cheers of the people pro claimed the success of their great under taking. Next day the British criminal was solemnly arraigned belhre, his Ifoli• ne..s ; Ili, crime was undeniably proved, and the Pope, in solemn language, pro noun(Td hi, sentence to be --that he should receive a pension annually during his lifetime. These little fact, stored up from obser vation, can never do the owner any harm and may some day be of great utility; and chi- stery only proves the valur , of le membering small things as well as great tines, for there is nothing that is too in significant for men to know, and there knot ledge that ha , not its LIC!

Among the memorable events el the week was the visit of Pre•ident Ling nin to the city of Richmond lie had been tarrying at City Point. holding daily con sultitions with (;eneral ()rant. visiting the army and time iron clads at Aiken': , I,anding,—thug avoiding the swarm o place-hunters that darkened the doors of the executive mansion. • On Tuesday noon a lug-boat belonging to the navy was seen steaming up the Junes regardless of torpedoes and nh• structions A mile below (he city, where the water becomes shoal, President Lin coln, accompanied by Admiral Porter, Captain' Adams of the navy, Captain Penrose of the army, and Lieutenant Clemmens of the Signal Corps, put off from the tug in a launch manned by twtive sailors, whose long, steady oar strokes quickly carried the party to the landing-place,--a square above Libby. Prison. Thorn way no committee of reception, no guard or hoo",, no grand di.-Tlay of troop, no assemlding or an eager multi tude to welcome lie entered the city unheralded ; six sailors, armed with carbines, stepped upon the shore, followed by the Presi dent, who held his little son by the hand, and Admiral Porter; the officers followed and six more sailors brought up the rear. The, writer of this article was there upon the spot, and, joining the party, became an observer of the memorable event. There were forty or fifty freedmen, who had been sole possessors of them selves for twenty-four hours, at work on floating timber, under the direction of a Lieutenant. Somehow they obtained the information that the man who was head and shoulders taller than all others around him, with features large and irregular, with a mild eye and pleasant countenance, was President Lincoln. " God bless you, Salt" said one taking off his cap and bowing very low. " llurrah I hurrah President Lin k= hab come I" was the shout which rang through the street. The Lieutenant found himself with out a command. What cared those freed men, fresh from the house of bondage,' for floating timber or military commands Their deliverer had come t —he who, next to the Lord Jesus, Was their best friend! It was not an hurrah that they gave, but a wild, jubilant cry of inexpressible joy. They gathered round the President, ran ahead, hovered upon the flanks of the littlo 'company, and hung like a dark oloud upon the rear. Men, women, and children joined the constantly increasing -throng—They- r oma—from --all-the -by-- stroets, running in breathless baste, shourfrig and:hallooing and dancing with delight. The men throw up their bats,' the women waved their- bonnets and handkerchiefs, clapped their hands, and sang, "Glory to God I glory I glory I glory 1" —rendering all the praise to god, who TERMS:--$2,00 in Advance, or $2,50 Within the year had heard their wailings in the past, their moanin!rs for wives, husbands, children, and friends sold out of their sight, had given them freedom, and, after long years of waitin g , had permitted them thus un expectedly to behold the face of their great benefactor. " I thank you, dear Jesus, teat. I be hold President Link= !" 'Was the ex clamation of a woman who stood upon the threshold of her humble home, and with streaming eyes and clasped hands gave thanks aloud to the Saviour of men. Another, more demonstrative, in her joy, was jumping and striking her hands with all her might, crying,—'' Bless de Lord ! Bless de Lord ! Bless de Lord !" as if there could be no end of her thanks . The air rang with a tumultous chorus of voices. The street. became almost im passable on recount of the increasing mul titude. Soldiers were summoned to clear the way: how strange the event ! The President of the Dolled States—he who had peen hated, despised, maligned above all other men living, to whom the vilest epithets had been applied by the people of Richmond—was walking their streets, receiving thanksgivings, blessings, and praises fromthousands who hailed him as the ally of the Messiah ! How hitter the reflections of that moment to some ho beheld him !—memory running back perhaps, to that day in May, Mil, when Jelfetson Davis, their President, en tered the city—the pageant of that hour, his speech, his promise to smite the smi ler, to drench the fields of Virginia with richer blood than that :lied at ]iuena Vista!

The language of the Arch- Rebel of the universe, in " Paradise test," was most, appropriate to them :- 1, this the region lid, the soil the Stlid then the poet Arehnogel, • this the seat Mat wit :111,t e 11211141, holviitl. Ihi• F'or tlint cvl,t al ii,-ht Abraham Lincoln was walking their streets; and worst of all, that plain honest h carted man was recognizing t '• triggers" as human beings by returning their salm tations Thuowalk was long and the Presi dent halted a moment to rest. May de good Lord bless you President Linkuin " said an old negro, removing his hat, and bowing with tears of joy rolling down his cheeks. The President removed his own hat and bowed in silence; but it was a bow which upset the lurms, laws, customs, and ceremonies of centuries. It was a deat,h shock to chivalry, and a mortal wound to caste. Recognize a nigger ! Faugh ! A woman in an adjoining house beheld it, and turned from the scene in unspealiab ff lep disgust. There were men in the crowd who had daggers in their eyes ; but the chosen as, was not there, the hour for the damning work had not come', and that great-hearted man passed on to the executive mansion of the late Confederacy. Want of space compels us to pass over other scenes,—the visit of the President to the State-II ousc,—the jubilant shouts of the crowd,—the rush of freedmen into the Capitol grounds, where till the appear ance of their deliverer, they had never been permitted to.enter,—the ride of the President through the streets,—his visit to Libby Prison,—the distribution of bread to the destitute,— the groups of heart-broken men amid the ruins, who behold nought but ruins,—a ruined city, a ruined State a ruined Cenfedoracy, ruined people,—ruined in hopes and ex pectations,—ruined for the past, the present, and the 'future,r—without power, influence, or means of beginninglifo anew, —deceived, subjugated, humiliated,— Poverty.strieken in everything. All that -they-had -possessed- was-irretrievably- lost, and they had nothing to show for it. All their heroism, valor, .courago, hardship, expenditure of treasure, and sacrifice of blood had availed them.nothing. There could be no eomfOrt in their mourning, no alleviation to their sorrow. Forgetting that Justice mighti- est power of the universe, that Righteous• ness is eternal, and that anything short of it is transitory, they planned a gorgeous edifice with Slavery for its corner-stoue; but suddenly, and in, an hour, their super structure and foundation crumbled. They grasped at doniinion, and sank in perdi tion. The Superstition of Sailors All sailors, it is notorious, are supersti tious; partly, I suppose, from looking out so much upon the wilderness of waves, empty of all human life; for mighty solitudes are generally fear haunted and fear-peopled ; such, for instance, 'as the solitudes of forests, where, in the absence of human forms and of ordinary human sounds, are discerned forms more dusky and vague, nut referred by the eye to ally known type, and sounds imperfectly intelligible. And, therefore, are all Ger man coal-burners, wood-cutters, &c., Hu- NO. '2'l. perstitions. Now the sea is often peopled, amidst its ravings, with what seem innu merable human voices, such voices, are as ominous, as what were heard by Ku bla Khan—" ancestral voices prophesy ing war :" oftentimes laughter mixes, from a distance, (seeming to come also from distant times, as well as distant places) with the uproar of waters ; add doubtless shapes of fear, or shapes of beauty not less awful, are at times seen upon the waves V fhe diseased eye of the sailor, in other cases beside the some what rare one of calenture. This vast solitude of the sea being taken, therefore, as one condition of' the superstitious fear found so commonly among sailors, a se cond may be the perilous insecurity of their own lives, or (if the lives of sailors, after all, by means of' large immunities from danger in other shapes are not so insecure as is supposed, though, by the way, it is enough for this result that to themselves they seem so) yet at all events he insecurity of the ships in which they ail. In such a case, in the case of bat le. and in others where the empire of 'fiance seems absolute, there the temp at ion is greatest to daily with superma tral oraeles and supernatural means of misulting them. Finally, the interrup- ul habitually of all ordinary avenues to 6,relation about the fate of their dm- relatives ; the consequent agitation which must often possess those who are re,:entcring home Miters-, and the sudden burst, upon stepping ashore, of heart shakim news in long-accumulated ar rcars—these are circumstances which dispose the mind to look out for relief to signs and omens as one way of break ing the shock by dittu Hats Icaving a vessel destined to sink, although the political application of it as a 11:11110 Or reproach is purely modern, must be, ranked amongst the oldest of ifinuns.; and perhaps---the -most,---sober-- min.lA of 111(.11 might have leave to be unwed NVlth any augury of an ancient traditional order such as had won faith fur centuries, applied to a fate so inter esting. as that of the ship to which he was on the point of committing himself. —Of Tice Kindness of Mr. Lincoln The following incident, clipped from an exchange, illustrates the kindness of heart and the tenderness of our late Pres ident. In November last, a small, deli cate boy patiently waited with the crowd which hail gathered in the room of the Presidenc.—lle was noticed by Mr. Lin coln, who said, "Come here, my boy, and tell me what you want." The boy, tremb ling and abashed, stepped forward and placed his hand upon the arm of the chair in which the President was seated, and said : "Mr. ]'resident, I have bee❑ a drum wer in a regiment for two years, and my Col. got angry with we and turned me off; I was taken sick, and have been a long time in the hospital. This is the first day I have been out I came to see if you cannot du something for me." The President looked kindly and ten derly at him, and asked him where he lived. Ile replied that he had no home. "Where is your father ?" said the President. "lie died in the army," answered the "Where is your mother ?" "My mother is dead also, I. have no fa ther, no mother, no brother, sisters," and bursting into tears, the boy said, "and no friends Nobody cares for me." The scene was very affecting. Mr. Lincoln's eyes filling with tears, ho said to him "Can't yen sell newspapers." "No," said the boy, "I am too weak, and the surgeon of the hospital told me I must leave; and I have no money, and no friends, and no plane to go to." The scene was indescribably tender and affectionate, and the President imme diately drew from his drawer a card, on which he wrote his wiffhes, that the offi• cars should care4in his own affectionate language) "for this poor boy." When the card was handed to the drum mer boy, a smile lit up his face, all wet with tears, and he had at least one good and true friend in Abraham Lincoln.
