By the camp tire's smould'ring embers, I've stretched my weary frame, And my cold, contracted members, Yield to the fitful Hume ; My blanket is round me drawn, Ben, To temper the north-wind's strife And keep the mists of the midnight From damping the wick of life. Four hours have I got for rest, Ben, From labor to repose, And then two hours as sentinel Where lurk our treaouroui foes j But my mind with watching is worn. Bun, I've bid my thoughts go play, And like the bee they're gath'rlng sweets, From boyhood's tlow'ry way. Oli ! those were glorious days. Ben, When you aud I were boys j Life seemed a cornucopia, O'erftll'd with golden joys With song the woods were vocal, Ben, The fields how gay with (lowers ! Aud the links that fol in'd 'l ime's chain Were made of shining hours. Again I sit in the shade, Ben, Ol'lhat dear grove of pines, Earth contains net such another In all its vast confines The breezes are sighing sol';, Ben, The branches gently swav, Tne blackbird Is singing aloft, How sweet the roundelay ! The scene spreads out before, nio, Ban, The fields are fresli nod green, The hill slopes down to the mill-dam, The orchard stands between ; On the olid still waves the beech, Ben, With consequential air, Its trunk is a register broad Our names are lettered Ihero. But who shall answer ibo names, Ben, On tho rob on t " it old tree t Who of the stragglin , randcrers Us trunk again Bball see? Ah.s! the many have gone, Ben, With death have inarched away, And only will ausv I that roll That's called ou Judgment day. The orchard Is hanging with fruit, Ben, The boughs ,,re bending down, And that which tempted our mother lias lured the boys (romiown ; But the owner is on the watch, Bl ', His portly form 1 a Observing the distant shadows Flitting from tree to tree. Again his stentorian voice, Ben, Comes swelling on the breeze, And a wild stampede is rushing Swift through life dark pine trees; Like gualls do they vanish from sight, Ben, And under cover remain, lie wanderaback to his dwelling, They back to mischief again. There's aeound of distant Voicos, Ec.i, Whose changes sweetly ring. There's a bevy of rustic children Down by tho mineral spring j Tlicy have made them a dock-leaf cap, Ben, From Up to Up it gins, And the world's high upper-ten-dom Are not so blest a3 those. They havo just been let from school, Ben, And are ou a Joyous round, Their cheeks are aglow with running, They're playing fox and hound ; Again they are off with vigor Ben Their baying sound grows faint They're wild as liery mustangs That ne'er have known restraint. The old schoolhousc stands the sanio, Ben, As it did in days of yore The rough stone step at the threshold, The time-worn batten door ; The rudu backless benches, of slabs, Ben, And desks of oaken gray ; The smoke-colored celling of pine, Dolled with papjermache. A thousand thoughts are rushing, Ben, Tumultuous through my brain, Of every sbapo aud color, Like somo fantastic train ; They nre too wild for service, Bon, Euthralhncnt they disdain, They laugh at being fettcrod, Aud scorn my inky chain. I see in the gloom of the future, Ben, Two hands of human form Ono appears frigid and clayey, The other rosy and warm ; The first is pointing downward. Ben, Down to the crumbling clod ; The other is reaching upward, Up to the throne of Qod. They are guide-hoard! on Hie a path, Ben, The first all must obey, Death will take charge of our bodies And mix than with the clay i But our senses are born of dust, Ben, And cannot pierce the gloom, Where faith and liopo are the angels That lead us ftom tbu tomb. How sweet arc their councils on canli, Den, As "hand to hand" lin y go, They smooth the "rough ashler" of strife, And sooth the pangs ol woe ; Oh ! may I hey not bait at the grave, Ben, Hut guide us on (he way, Where pointetb that rosy finger, And love supreme bears sway. But I cannot recount the scenes, Ben, That pass before my view. 'Twould infringe upon my duty, And that would never do ; So here's farewell to the visions, lien, That haunt our boyhood's life, I wake again to the bustlo Of turmoil and of sttifo Athene, Mo., Feb. 4, 1802. THE NEW PABTY IN PENNSYLVANIA The Harrlsburg Patriot and Union, tho State organ ot the Copperheads, an nounces the formation of the new party as follows : "Anothku Convention, A call lies been made for a Republican Johnson State Convention, to bo held in Pitts burgh, in July next, to put in nomina tion a third candidate for Governor. Thousands of conservative Republicans (or rather the ohj Republicans) have signed oopies of the call, endorsing and approving tho movement. Tho 'boys in blue,' who fought for the Union, are especially active iu the movement. 'Oi courso wa would rather seo these men supporting Mr. Gi.YMCR, who aco with President Johnson in bis restore ration policy ; but if we have to choose between Gkauy the eandilale of the Us unionists and n true Republican, give us the latter, by all means Let us endeavor to bavea Gove; nor who is tortile Pedoral Union, for the supremacy of the Con stitution, and who will not override the laws and die rights of the people " This Harrlsburg Copperhead does not take tho trouble to conceal that t!io obi jeot of this organization is simply to elect ilicstcr Clymer Governor of Pennsyl vania. Nobody assumes that the third candidate) to be chosen can succeed. He is simply, therefore put in the field to defeat Geary'i and the men vfho nro to voto for and help him are tho boys in blue who fought for tho Union, and who hnvo been from tho first attacked and ridiculed by Hiestor Clymor in tbo Sen ate of Pennsylvania. More bare-faced effrontery wo have not gccu niuco the time whon the men who denounced Anrii'ov.- Johnson as a drunkard and a usurper bocame his idolaters und his ohampioni Wester Clymer not only refused to allow Andrew Johnson a chance to speak for the country in tho legislative chambers, but he refused to allow tho soldiers to voto tor the He-, public for which they had fought. In return tor these delicate attentions ho now not only expects, but claims to have the promise of Andrew Johnson's sup port, and through his triends seh-ets a third candidate, who is to bo the condi date of iha soldiers, whoso business it is to get votes from the Republican Union 6ide, and thereby to secure Ciymcr's election. We have as yet heard of no Republi can who will oppose John V. Gkaisy, while we believe tiiero are thousands heretofore attached to the Demoqralio party who will give him their earnest support. Nominated for tho double reason that bis private and political re cord was most patriotic, and that his military career has been unusually bril liant and striking, it would be a little curious to see Republicans helping to defeat a man who thus combines the highest attributes ot qualifications and deserving. This new party is having a rather in auspicious start, At Washington it is a monster with two heads, one of which is an essential Copperhead) and tbo other a conservative head. Montgomery Blair leads the Copperhead club, and ex-Governor Randall, Assistant Post master General, leads the conservative club. As the twain arc more eager for spoils than for votes, they havo already broken into a bitter quarrel. Tho Re publicans aro dropping away from tho Blair committee, because it is composed mainly of recent enemies of tho Govern ment, whilo tho Democrats arc warned off from the rival committee for tho samo reason. It is not staten 10 wnien oi toe contending hoimcs at Washington the third party in Pennsylvania belongs, but it is easy to predict that a concern which is already poisoned at tho foun tain ot political power cannot bo very healthy in tho quarters that look to Washington for examplo and for sup por.t War Press. "Isaac, my son, let tho good Book bo a lamp unto thy path." "Mother," replied the thoughtful Iaao, ''I should think that was making light of sacred things " KISSING. Some chap who has evodently had considerable experience in tho matter, discourses as follows on tho subject of kissing : People will kiss ; yet not ono in a hundred knows hoP to extract bliss from lovely hps, no more than they know how to make diamond) from charcoal. And yet U is easy at least for us ! First know who you aro to kiss Don't make a mistake)- although a mis take may bo a good tiling. Don't jump up liko a trout for a fly, and smack a woman on the neck, on tho oar, on the corner ot her forehead, on the end of her nose, or knock off her waterfall. The gentleman should be alittlo the tal lest. Ho Bhonld have a clean face, a kind eye, a mouth full of expression. Don't ki '-s averybody Don't sit down to it, Stand up. Need not bo anxious about getting into a crowd, Two per sons are a plenty to comer and catch a kiss, mora persons spoil the sport. Take the left hand of the lady In your right, let your bat go to any place out of tho way, throw the left hand ejenlly over the shoulder of the lady, and let the band fall down upon tho right sido toward the belt' Don't be in a hurry draw her gently, lovingly, to your heart her head will fall lightly upon your shoulder, and n handsome shoulder-strap it makes ! Don't be in tx hurry, rend a l-.ttle life down your leftf arm. Her loft hand is in your right, let there be an im pression to that, not liko the grip of a vice, but a gentle clasp, full of electrici ty, thought and respect. Don't bo In a hurry. Her head lies esrelessly on your shoulder. You nre nearly heart to hoart Look down into her half closed eyes. Gently yet insufiilly, press her to your bosom ! Stand firm. Be brave, but don't ba in a hurry. Her lips are almost open ! Lean gently forward with your head not the body. Take good aim, the lips meet tho eyes close tho heart opens the soul rides tbe storm, trou bles and sorrows of lifeWdon't bo in a hurry) heaven opens before you the world shoots from under your feet ao a meteor flashes across tho evening sky (don't bo afraid) tho heart forgets its bitterness and tho art. ot kissing is learned 1 No noise no fuss, no fluttering no squirming like hook-impaled worms. Kissing dont burl, it dor.t require a brass band to make legal Don't jab down on a beautiful month r.s ifspear ing for frogs 1 Don't grab und "rank" the lady as it she was a struggling colt ! Don't muss tier hair, soratcli her collar, bilo her cheek, Bqizzle her rich ribbons and leavo her mussed and rumpled !

Columbia Sun. Watku. Currents in tho very bed of a river, or beneath tho surface of tho sea, may bo watched by an arrangement that smugglers used in tho old day. They sank their con-, traband cargo when there was an alarm, and they searched for it again by the help ot a so called marine telescope. It was nothing more than a cask with a plate of strong glass at tho bottom. Tho man plunged tho closed end a few inches below tho surface, and put his head into tho other end, and then, ho saw clearly into tho water. The glare and confused reflections and refractions from and through the ripple surfaco ot the sea were entirely abut out by this contrivance. Seal hunters still use it. Witt this simple apparatus the stirring lite ot the sea bottom can be watched at leisure aud with gioat distinctness- So far as this contrivance enables men to sec the land under the waves movements under water closely resemble movements under air. Sea weeds, like plants, bend beloro tho gale: fish, like birds, keep their beads to the stream, and hang poised on their fins: mud clouds take the shape of water clouds in air impede light, cai.t shadows', and take shapes which point out the directions in which ourrents flowi It is strange, at first, to hang over n boat's side, peering into a new world. And tbe interest grows. There is excitement in watching big fish swoop, like hawks, out of their sea weed forest, after a white fly sunk fo tho tree i ops to tempt them, and the fight which follows is better fun when plainly seen. Some ono has suggested plate glass windows in the bottom of a boat; it would bring men and fish face to face; and the hah' Is of tho latter could be leisurely watohed. Tub sentiment respecting rebels which prevails in Wisconsin is particularly wor thy of consideration. A reconstructed Confederate soldier rained Ferdinand Heavers, having Wauiiuica ujj to ieu River, Kewauee county, in that Slate, by some means got himself elected town clerk and justice of the peace. His predecessor refused to surrender to him the books and papers rf tho office, and the question was referred by Heavers to Attorney General Gill, who replied as follows: "Having set vod as a volunteer in tho lato rebel army, yon have forfeited all political rights under the United States Government, and ihat Government can alono restore them. Having placed yourself in the attitude of an alien enemy to the United Stales Government, you cannot exercise the rights and privileges ii at accorded to aliens who are not ene mies. No! having the right to vote, you cannot hold office "No republic cculd live long it its ac knowledged enemies could, without its consent, participate in its administrOn Hon." Tho law and the common sense of this answer are uliko commendable. Tho axiom with which the Attorney-General concludes his opinion is worthy of careful study by some eminent personages at, Washington. The truth it sets forth is one that Ihey aro entirely too apt to over look. Chicago Hip. -" -JV - A young lady having "sot her cap," tor a rather largo specimen ot tho oppo site sex, and having fulled to win him, was tolling her sorrows to a oouplo of her oonfidants, when one of them coni torted her with theso words: "Never mind, Mollle, there is as good fish In tho sea as ever wns caught." 'Mollie, knows that," replied her little brother "but sho wants a whale." oitmiN op "skkino THE ELEPHANT." About thirty years since, at one of tho theatres, a pageant was in rehersnl, in, which it was neoas-sary to have an elephant. No elephant was to be had. Tho "wild beasts" were all traveling, and the property man, stage director and managers almost had fitB when they thought of it. Days passed in tho hopo less task of trying to secure one, but nt last ingenuity triumphird, and the ele phant was made to order, of woods, skins, paints and varnish. Thus far the matter was very well, hut as yet they had found no means to mako said com bination travel. Here, again, the man agers, tho stago director and property man struck out, and two "broths" woro duly cnstalled as legs. Ned Cox, one of the true, genuino "b'hoys," held the responsible station of four legs, and tor several nights played that heavy part to tbo entire satisfaction of the managers and the delight of tho audlfinco. The part however was a very tedious ono, as the elephant was obliged to be on tho stage for about an hour, and Ned wUg rather to fond of the bottle to remain so long without "wetting his whistle," so be set his witls to work to find a way to carry a wee drop with him. The eyes ot the elephant being made of two por ter bottles, with the neck in, Ned con ccived the brilliant idea of filling them with good stuff. This he fully carried out, and, elated with success, he willing ly undertook to play lore legs again. Night comes on, the theatre was dens ly crowded, the music was played in the sweetest strains, the curtain rose and the play began. Ned and tho "hind legs" marched upon tho stage. The elephant was greeted with round after round of applause; tbo decorations and trappings were gorgeous. The elephant and prince on his back were loudly choeied. The play proceeded the ele phant was inarched round and round ..r ili - ig withdrew one ot the corks and treated Ton Nashville Press and Times reports an interesting conversation which re cently occurred between a Mississippi planter and a rebel soldier ot Tennessee The planter was declaiming against the now franchise law by which rebels arc prevented from voting iu Tennnesseo, whereupon the soldier replied as follows: "I can't blame tho Legislature for acting as it did. It did nothing but what, we Intended to do had we won llio tight in placo of the Yankees. If wo hud helil Tennessee wo would not have allowed Union mon to voto or hold offli 6, and there is no sense in my abus ing others for doing to mo what I had fully determined to do to them had circumstinces been difi'erent. I don't deny tint it is pretty rough to be douied u voto, but still it is the fato of war, and I know that wo Confederates were de termined to disfranchise all who were against us. Wc havo no business at all to complain." On ono point P. T. Baroum, tho great showman, is one of tho most sensible of men. Hear him: "I never patronize a business man that don't advertise, for tho reason that, I invariably get cheated. The meanest reason tor getting marri ed that wo over hoard was from a man who said ho wanted some ono to part his back hair for him, the hind legs, and then drank tho health ot the audience in a bumper of genuine elephants eye whiskey, a brand till then unknown. The concluding march was to be made the signal was given, the tore leg went staggering to tbe front of the stage. The conductor pulled tho eh pbants ear to the right the fore legs staggered to the left. The foot. light obstructed tho way, and he raised his foot and stepped into the orchestra ! Down went the fore legs on tho leaders fiddle over of course, turned the elephant, sending, tho prince and the hind legs into the middle ot the pit. The managers stood horror struck the prince and tho huicf legs lay con founded, the boxes in convulsions, tho actors chocking with laughter, and poor Ned, casting ono look, a strange blend, ing ol drunkenness, grief and laughter at the scene, fled hastily out of the thea Ire, closely followed by tho leader, with the wreck of his fiddle, performing van ous cut aud thrust motions in tbe air. The curtain dropped on a scene behind the scenes. No more pageant no more fore legs every body held their sides. Music, aotors, pit, boxers, and gallery rushed from tho theatre, shriek ing between every breath "Jlavc you seen the elephant " m . . Josn BlLUHGB favois the world with a brief essay on dogs : 'Dogs in a lump are useful, but thoy nro not alwavs profitable. The Nil- fbundlin dog is useful to save cliildien from drowning, but you have got to have a pond of water and children running around karcless, or elso tho dog ain't profitable. Thero nin't nothing made boarding a Nufoundlin dog. Rattcarri ers arc ustul to kitch ruts ; but the rats ain't profitable after you havo kilched them. Tito shepherd dog is usful to drive sheep i but if you have to go and buy a flock of sheep, and pay more than they aro WUth, jist to keep the dogbizzy tho dog ain't profitable, not much Lap dogs aro very usoful, but if you don't hold them in your lap all tho timo they ain't profitable at all. The coach dog is ono of the most useful dogs I know of, but you havo got to havo a coach (and that isn't always pleasant) or you can't rcalizo from tho dog. Thus we seo that whilo dogs aro generally useful, there nre times when they nin't generally profitable Ono of the finest writers says that the "nightly dews come down upon us liko THE IMPENDING TRIAL.

Not only was he one of the earliest and most persistent plots tersof the Rebellion, but, when tho movement was inaugurated ho beaame President ot tho Confederacy, and com-mander-in chief of insurgent armies. Notwithstanding then ,0it)rWM imm the impression is nlmost universal that a trial will result in his acquittal, or at least in the failure of the jury to agree to his condemnation.

Don't shut your house lest the sun should fide your oarpeta and your hearts lest a hearty laugh, shakes down gomo of llio musty old cobwebs there I If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment, must be left on tho threshhold without, when they come in at night. When once a homo is regarded as only a place to cat drink and sleep in, the work is begun that ends in gambling houses, and reckless dogre- dation, Yoimg people must have fun and relaxation somewhere ; if they do rot find it at their own hearth-stonesi it will be sought at other and less profit. able piaoes, Therefore let the fire burn brightly at night, and make a homestead delightful with all those little arts that parents so perfectly understand.
