LBT'B T#.l THE WORLD NI ONE WIDE SCENE.
Let's take this world as one wide scene,
Through which, in frail, though buoyant boat,
With skies tow dark and now serene,
Together thou and I must float; '
.Beholding oft, on either ihore,
Bright'spots where we should love to stay;
But Time plies WWift his flying oar,
And away we speed, away, away.
Should chilling winds and rains come on,
teraise-our-awning-Igainat-the - sho '
Sit closer till the storm is goon,
And smiling, wait a sunnier hour.
And if that sunnier' our shook' shine,
We'll know its brightness cannot stay,
But happy, while 'tilt ine and mine,
Complain not when it fades away.
So shall we reach at last that• Fall
Down which life's current nll mu•t go—
The dark, the brilliant. destined all
To sink into the void below.
Nor e'en that hour shall want its charms,
If, side by side, still fond we keep,
And calmly, in each other's arms
Together link'd, go down the steep.

My•grand-mother loved to watch,its face
As its hands moved slowly on apace;
And she gave the time-piece to me -
When she passed away to eternity.
She told me a tale of days gone-by,
One night when a storm was in.the sky;
Of her only sun who had left his home.
On the "heaving breast of the sea"lo roam.
And the hour for his return drew nigh.
But a night like this—a night of storm—
Embosomed in ocean his much loved form
She has passed away to rejoin her son,

Running Down Money.
There is no use in running out against
money rind its possesrrs,, as many people do,
for it betrays more envy than anything else,
• - • •
ler is unable to do w iat he simply envies
other persons for doing., Money is a very
good thing, in its way; in fact, we do e not
exactly see how men and women .could get,
along without it. It serves as. a medium of
exchange,,to begin with, and saves'the trans
portation all great many cumbersome arti
cles, that would obstruct social movements,
if not the railroads. why envy a person
because he is reported to be possessed of a cer
tain amount of money 1 If he came by his
accumulations fairly, that is his own matter
and he is to be commended ; but if unfairly;
what is there about, it to excite envy ? Such
men ought rather be pitied, or else scorned
and despised:. We cannot but think that all
this haranguing against wealth proceeds from
a crude idea of the good it is made to do in
the world's progress. No rich man can eat
or drink any more thatP a poor man, nor
wear many more clothes. His surplus he is
obliged to spend on others, either directly
or indirectly, and thus it is made to go into
general circulation. Money, we say again is
an. excellent thiog, and, on . the whole pos
sessed of a good many real conveniences.
President Lincoln has sometimes a very
dry way of "Rutting the question." For
ex
ample:
A elergynirn recently gave the President
his views of conducting the war; and, after
talking five minutes, ew up to heir what
the President had to say.
"Perhaps you had- better try to run the,
machine a week," quietly remarked Old Abe.
Another gentleman, after pouring out his
vials of wrath upon a government officer,
was surprised to hear the President quietly
remark: -
"Now, you are just the man I've been
looking Mr. I want you to giie me your
advice and' tell me, if you were,in my place
and had heard all you've been telling, and
didn't believe a word of it, what would, • you
do?"
— This - was a poser.
TERRIBLE 'WARNINCL—We sae it stated
in an English paper that Miss Burt, of Glas
gow, recently broke lier neck in resisting. the
attempt of a young man to kiss her. This is
a fearful warning to youtigladies,"espei,ially
pretty ones: .
,Why will girls peril their del
icate necks in absurd endeavors to avoid the
application of that delicious and, soothing
"two lip"_ salve, which is an universal cor

THE GREAT BATTLE
AT PITTSBURG LA NDING-GRAPHIC AC-
• COUNT. •
[Corresponitence of the Philadelphia'Press]
PITTSBURG LANDING, April 11.
You have been apprised of the great bat
tle at this point. There is one single
habi
tation at this place of celebrity, and no more.
Why the spot should be entitled to a name,l
cannot conjecture
Pittsbum Landj
ri? is situated u
west bank of the Tennessee river, between
eight and nine miles from Savannah, which
is a small town upon the eastern shore, and
°better known-to our readers than Pittsburg
Landing. The latter Piave is some twenty
two miles from Corinth, Mississippi. -
- For several weeks past Gen. Grant has
been concentrating an immense army here,
and had the rebels postponed their attack
two weeks General Buell's entire force would
have arrived; the two armies would have _u
nited, and one of the most plendid ,bedies, of
soldiers of modern times would have been
ready for work of the most formidable char
acter.
This'battle was ; unquestionably, the most
sanguinary of the war, and was, likewise,
one Of the most singular and critical on rec
ord. The commencement was most singular,
indeed. Every movement of the iv& days
struggle was a critical \3ne, and its bloody
'termination Was of thrilling interest. In the
first place, the dexterity and skill.. employed
by the rebelS was characteriStie of the corn;
mander-in-ehief of the - TCOnfederate artny.
`The great body of our men were located
about three miles from the river, and-. their
situation described a semi -circle, in,fair read
iness fir a bold resistance, had no covert,
measures been resorted to by the eilemy.-
The latter, understand, contrived to learn
the countersign of the night; and used it — to
their great advantage.
They butchered-some of our' pickets with
their fearful-looking ,Mississippi ,knives, then
engaged some dozen of others, and hurried
them within their lines."
, They exchanged uniforms with - those
wh- m they killed, performed mimic guard,
and silently • the *hole force Of Beauregard,
consisting 'of one hundred thousand men,
under A. Sidney Johnston, Cheatham,
Polk, Bragg, and other celebrated soldiers,
crept into our camp, and immediately Open
