LIFE LEAVES.
Tho following poem is touchiugly beautiful.
Many an cyo will bo dlmmo.l by a tear as it
reads thesu lines and tho thoughts go wonder- i
Ingaway to "memory's wildwood i"
The day with its sandals dipped in dew, !
' Litis passed through tho evening's gulden
gates,
And a single star in the cloudless bluo
For the rising moon In silence wuite;
Whilo til" winds that sigh to tlie languid hours
A lullaby breathe o'er tho folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
That winds along with a lulling flow,
And cither nwako or half In a dream,
I pass through the realms of long ngo ;
While faces peer with many a smile
From tho bowers of memory's magical Ulo.
There aroj'iys and sunshine, sorrows and tears
That check the path oriife's April h- urs,
Air' a lonlng wish 'or the coming Tear,
That how evr wreaths with t'm fairest
fl nviT ;
There are friendships guileless -love ai bright,
As pure as the stars in the halls of night.
There arc nshen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes and a broken vow,
An aching heart by the restless main,
And the sea brecz: fanning a pallid brow j
And a wando' ing on Hi" shell lined shore
List'ning for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambiibns wild,
Anil tin! fierce ib sire I. 'Stand in the van
Oft- o I'Ottle of life and Ihp heart of tliech'dd
lscnis'ied in t.'tt breast of the struggling
m ii ;
Tint short the regrets nnd lew arc the tears.
That f .11 at the tomb ol'the vanquished years.
There's quiet, and pence, and domestic love,
Andjoys arising from faith and truth,
And n love unquestioning, far above
The passlonatu drownings of ardent youth ;
And lasses of children on lip ami cheek :
And the parent's bliss which no tongue can
speak.
There are loved ones lost ! There nru little
graves
In t e distant dell, 'no I'll rrolccting trees,
Where the streamlet winds aid the violet
waves, ,
And the grasses sway to tho sighing lire.v.e;
And w' mourn for the pr ssuro of tender lips,
And the light of eyes darkened in death's
cel'vso.
And thus, asth.' glow of daylight, dies.
And tho night's first look on the earth is cast,
I gnzo 'neatli those bcauti ul summer skies
At the pictures that are hung on tho hull of
the past ;
Oh, soi row and Joy, clmnt a mingled lay
When to memory's wild-wood wo wonder

RIP VAN WINKLE IN THE SUPREME
COURT.
Uslikk the antediluvian worthy who
thought when the deluge begun that it
was uot going to be much of n hhower
after nil. -Me-srs. Sharkey and Walker,
counsel for the State of Mississippi, now
thai tliu deluoo is over, and the new
heavens and the new earth begin to ap
pear, are of opinion that there has nut
been much of a shower. They insist,
with the bewildered solemnity ot Kip
Van Winkle, that the war had but one
significance and result namely, that tho
loya! citizens were physically stronger
than the disloyal. That p' int having
been satisfactorily determined, every
thing returns to its previous condition.
Iua wold, say Messrs. Sharkey and
Walker there has ban n lit1 It unpleas
antness' in ill national family, but now
every ihing is seiene.
The petition t these gentlemen to the
Supreme Court sets forth, in great nm
plllilde i if phrase, that 'mice a State
aUvays a &'atc;' that the United Still is
have in ii If an 'ii levo') able euniiaci' with
tli Stain 1 .Mis-is.)i,i tint tin- S ale
can imt hi i" de, n.nl em not be expello li
that a m htaiy desnotism is unconstitu
tional; and tint the reconstruction bill
and ail the proceedings under it may as
well be det -hired uncotislitiitioiKil ti hi as
last. No', what oilier question than
this have tin- ptople of this c unit ry been
considering fur Uo yens past t What
did they decide at the last auuimti elec
lion but thai' Stales which Have destroy
ed their civil fwueriiiiient nod their rela
tion with the Uni n can establish a gov
ernment Mid r siime thai relation only
upon such conditions as tlie lnyiil citi
zen- may determine i Tho tftiiion of
Messrs. blmikey and Walk r is a grave
n piest to the Supreme Court to reverse
the decision ot lite people at the polls.
Do lltt'si! gentlemen suppo-o that the
national will upon such a question a- re
construction i- to lie set nsidj by a ina
jor.tyitt niiii'ju 'gen !
'I he argu l ent of ilni petition is fatal
to every political niea-uie ot the ia-U tvo
years. It tlemoli-lics the 'policy' ot the
President a-effectually as the action ot
C. ngtess. ai d ilieaite npl to evade this
iv suit is us teeble as it is fooli.-h The
pi'iilionors say tint, 'in concurrence
with th" view of the I'.esidenl,' conven
tions were held, an 1 that 'the eoplu as
sembled V' luntarilv. and not by compul
sion ot the President.' Now imthii g is
more familiar to the country than the
action ot the I'icsitlent and the grounds
upon which it was justified. In I'eor
der appointing Mr. Sharkey Provi-intiat
Governor the I'risi leii' recites that, there
is no civil g ivcmuiciit in the State of
Mississippi; that tho United Slates are
bound to see ne a republic m govern
ment, to the Stale, and ihal it shall be
the duty of Mr Sharkey to pi escribe
niles tor 'coineiiiii1 u convention' which
shall submit a constitution to Congress
lint if the United S'ateshad made an
irreversible compact with Mississippi,
did it authorize the President to appoint
a Governor tor the State, aud to desig
u.tle who should be voters ? It it did
not, the argument ot the petition is fatal
to the President's action.
This Mississippi petition is merely the
old fallacy which has been thoroughly
exposed and exploded It is the expir
ing gasp ot the sotilusin which ha- been
destroyed by the war, that the Cons itn
tton is a compact or treaty, and not a
national bond. It is the filial stingle
ot the rebellion, whioh hopes to save by
legal quibbles and technicalities what it
could not maintain by nrms. It is the
despeiato effort to undo in a court the
decision of a war. It is a futile plea
against the right of the people ot the
United Stales to guarantee the peace ot
the Union. The wiser people in the
Southern Slates see this as plainly as we.
They remember that the Supreme Court
has already tried to withstand the cur.
rent of events, and has failed. Thev
remember that Alexander 11. Stephens
retired trorn Congress I ecause the Died
Suott decision bad secured the victory
of 'the South ' And they have seen Mr
Stephens, tho Dred Scott decision, and
'the Sot th' Thingled in a common ruin.
Indeed, the soldiers at the South seen
to be ihe only statesmen. They know
that the loyal people who won in the
war w mid no mote allow the Supreme
Court to rever-e their victory than they
have allowed the President. The South
ern soldiers are deseiting fictions for
facts, Likowise men, they lcaye to such
eet tleman as Messrs. Sharkey and
Walker tho task ot winning tho Court to
sny that Congre.-s has done wrong, whilo
they themselves earnesllj try to win the
colored vote and to control the future

WONDERFUL RUINS IN SIAM.
Gen. Perrin, a Frenchman, mandarin
of the third class, commanding the land
forces of the King in Siain, wites to a
French p tper as follows ; 'For six days'
journey of an elephant, I hive traversed
the ruins ot Ancoi-Niat, only penetra
ting them at intervals, where explorers
had been before. What 1 have seen of
monuments, temples, palaces, columns,
staircases and piles of marble, cannot be
told. Tliey weuld nol behove me. The
people of the country say that the ruins
are spread over a uirclo from ten to
twelvo leagues is diameter. What was
the city th it existed there, and of what
empire was it lite capital I have seen
temples iu a good state of preservation,
(except the vegetation that had sprung
up in tluiui) whkh measured not less
than a league rutin I. There are forests
ot marble columns everything i- of mar

I wished to nscetid to a tempi which ap

A gentleman of this city gives us
some reminiscences i t this famous man,

e ruble phases nt a drunkard's eareer, uu
til by reformation be has risen to the
highest pinnacle ot ootempornry fame,
eclipsing the splendor of the stage nnd
Senate by the magic creation d his ge
nius. Our informant, now in middle life,
well recalls the time when 'John' was a
poor and friendless book-binder in New w
inn vport, Massachusetts, in the emp'oy
of Mr. Tilton, living from lined to
month; c n sorting with 'fire Inddiev the
victim of j illy 'benders' and desperate
sti til's, lie recollects one summer night
of fittieg on the steps ot St. Paul s
Church, when J dm' came sauntering
nlo, g with a doleful face, as it he had
lost the last friend 'he hnd iu the world.
Tney lell itilo conversation, and L Im
then told his palhetiu story ot the bud

childhood Mr I!., as wu u ill call our

a debating club in the town called the
Cicero.' of inch B. was a member.
Willi ntliei choice spirits, some ot winch
have since become dis'ingui-lied it dif
ferent walks of life. B. invited John
one night to drop in; he thought at first
ho was not fined moiigii tor such associ
ations, but was finally prevailed upon to
do so. After (he set end members lias
spoken their pieces, B, called on John,
and with much reluct mice he recited the
'Sailor Boy's Dream.' and with such
dramatic effect as overshadowed all com
pel ii ion, ninl electrified the house. B
then persuaded John to repeat trte story
he bad told him on ihe church steps, and
he complied, much to the delight ot his
auditors Soon nftcr this, a brilliant
party was given iu town and our lel'ow
citizen secured un it.vitalion lor John,
who was taken aback nt such social re
cognition. I!, ami Ins friends iked out
John's scanty wardrobe, to make him
piescntable, nnd by a concerted arrange

brjo orntnr was asked fir n song and
recitation, which were the life of ho
evening's euleitainment. Tho Col next
d iy, lent n ng he 01 renin tince of John,
gave him a sub tantial proof ot his
appreciation The next incident recol
lected by B., was John's first temperance
lecture, which opened by prayer bv Kev
Dr , I). The same night, John got on a
spree and brought up at Agilo Co. No

his own previous effort as well as the
prayer ot tho reverend gentleman, who
had invoked a blessing But the ica was
broken, John discovered his 'gilt,' but it
was some lime after, thai he found his
'mission.' It wns some years belore he

Hiester Cljmer. ,T. Ghiney Jones,
W. B. lleed and iHt'er politioilly dead
men ot Pennsylvania, have written a
fraternal tind doleful leUer to James
Buchanan (the deadest of dead men,)
asking his ct unsel ns to the chances ot
the constitution being saved by the
Democracy. The Franklin Repository
says 'Old Buck.' clusps his hands in
prayer, as usual, and, appealing to
Providence, he thinks there is a chance
ander tho utterly worthless constitution
of Buchanan. When such ghosts of the
dear departed get up out of the ground
to repeat their old mummeries of Mumho
Jumbo there must bo trouble in the
graveyard.
Tiik reason women seldom stammer Is
because they talk so fast, a stammer hns
got no chntico to got in. Pcoplo stutter
because they hesitate. But who ever
know a woman to hesitate about any
thing In Louisiana minority forms uo
impediment to a legal man Inge, tho laws
ol that State requiring that tho bride bo
not loss than twelve, and the bridegroom
not less than fourteen.
Cliicngo hns lumber enough to lay
a plunk road, thirty foot wide, across
the continent, and have one hundred
and seventy million feet to spare.
