BY FRANCIS B. :MURTHA How Mt et it is to ponder In the twilight dud and grey, On the many joys end pleasures Now Mrever passed away, When the fancy built bright castles, And the heart was all aglow With fond visions of the future, In that happy long ago. Oh, the world, indeed, seems changed, As loved forms are brought to mind, For we'll never meet their like again, They were So good and kind • Itltmory clings unto that tune, Wherethe-heart-kimw-nor?of-Av , • • For all was very beautiful In that happy long ago. JOHN BECKWIN'S DREAM. Rough John ileckwin, a Mississippi ferry man, tied his boat to a post, and . plodded, wet and weary, to his title house• Having thrown himself, with an oath, into a chair be li:hted his pipe, and puffed the smote up the chimney, while he dried Ins feet at the fire. Presently his little daughter came in, lead ing her younger brother, and walking to her mother, said, with a grieved expression, "Mother, little bub swore; little hub can't have any wings when he dies to fly up to the good place.. Poor little hub!" and the little girl began to cry. But the boy looked up in his mother's face, and said, "But father swore too. Can't he have any wings when he dies?" The mother did not answer, for she feared the stern man who sat smoking his pipe by the fire. But the iron bad entered John Beckwin's soul. That night he dreamed; and as he stood before his cottage, lookihg at:the stars and moon, there was a sound of a trumpet above, that made the world tremble, au exceeding glory in the s ky, and from the midst of the glory a voice calling to the judg ment. And immediately the air was full of white souls, whose eyes turned upward with a steady gaze, while their hands were clasp ed over trier breasts. And the voice called again, Come ye blessed:: Then to the white souls were given wings full of stars shining like silver, which flashed back the glory from above, as they calmly floated up ward. While he stood wondering and terri -hod, he heard a sharp cry of pain at his side. There stood his litt.e• bob, with ragged and soil-stained coat, and hands stretched piteous up toward the flying host. 'Oh, my father!' exclaimed he, "why did you teach me to du . wrung The dear Lord bust now beckoned • me to Atonic, but I had no wings and no cloak of silver; and he looked grieved at me, and turned away. Oh, father! why did you teach me to do wrong?' There was a sound as of thunder—a crash . The muncipal law permits no disorder in of the universe--and the universe—aud the the street.

Welnd room only for the following ex tract of one of Mr. Tiain's recent speeches: Neutildity: Mr. Train—Neutrality signifies weakness. All small minds hesitate. Lack of decision shows lack of poAr. Generals who win battles are not •neutral men. Neutrt.lity on the American rebellion is taking sides in dis guise. The-man who is soft on the Ameri can question is soft on•all questions. I des pise soft Americans as well as soft English men. It is impossible for an honest man to be neutral. He who is not for we is against me. The Indian Thug is remarkable for neu trality until his garotte is round your neck.— The Camanche chief is. a neutral to your face while his scalping knife sleeps in his belt.— Dumollard, the French murderer, was a neu tral before lie destroyed his victims. There is no half-way between a patriot and a traitor. The woman who permits the least familiari ty has already lost the foundation of her vir tue. Let her remain neutral in the presence of the libertine and she is lost. The young man counting his employer's;money must not be a neutral—if he does not wish to end jiis life upon the gallows. The coat I have made fits exactly the neutral bankers and leading Americans abroad—who are waiting for vic tories before hoisting Secession or Union flags. The garment is not out of place on England's back. Neutrality in England is treachery. Americans say, England, with all thy faults, we love thee still! Englishman say, America, with all 411 y virtues, we con tinue to hate thee, Strong men choose sides —weak men are always neutral; once an idi ot, always an idiot„ The world is packed with fools. Neutrality is_imbeeility. No man can serve two masters. He must either love the one and hate the other, or hate the one and love the Alter. Our Saviour was not ti neu tral. England for three .generations has eon Mutts o nienca. . e Ist unjust in little is unjust in much. The maxim comes froni au ancient and respectable au thority. 'Unjust in small, matters fbr half a century, England was just.ripe tbr being un just in great matters during our revolution.— Neutrality is disguise; assassins are neutral before they use the poignard. The tiger in the-jungle-is-a-neutral fore be plunges on •• victim. When you wish to destroy an nemy you first conceal your plan. Error id injustice are ueutpl - kftarcbecoming ar rogant and impudent. A love of fault-finding is no proof of wis dom.—Your criticism on General Butler's proclamation are as just as your pretended love for America is honest. Critics, says Wycherley, are like thieves, Who,.conglemnod to execution, choose the business of execu tioners. rather than be• hung. Your distor tion of the New Orleans proclamation is worthy of the people that were abolitionists when they thought by preaching that doct rine they could break up our Republic—and pro-slavery advocates when they believed we should preserve the Union. The proclama tion you have dishonestly translated. lit you mean to say that you believe Gen. Butler issued the order for immoral purposes? Do you really understand its wording to signify that unbridled Bemis:. was given to the Federal - army? The veay idea is contra ry to the instincts of our nature, insulting to the Americana people, and outraging Litt , senses of our race. You give the order a meaning never intended. It was unfortu nately worded, but the spirit of the order was a proper one. Ladies hold the . remedy. Let them remain indoors, let them behave like women, not like human tigresses. The terrible slaughter or our soldiers will some day lay heavy upon their consciences. Wo men who go out of °their way to insult Federal officers who have treated them with every courtesy, by pouring hot water out of their Willl,llMS when they pass, or throwing vitrol in' their faces ou„ the pave, or so Iltr unsexing themselves as to strike, an officer, ought not to object, when martial law is ordered, to proclamations that enforce civility where ruthless was so marked. —and you, gentlemen, echo the Sentiment Of the land. Do you remember a picture the Illustrate.] News during the Sepoy revo lution? I do—and three featurei'' were prominent--cantion—English officers; and 'o'epoy messengers bearing a flag of truce.

Butler's l'roeltmurtion burning the town ? Do you remember the cold-blooded slaughter of the Mucdonalds of Glencoe, under the' same- dynasty? Verily, what u man was Lord Byron.? . 1 You are the best of cut-throats !—Do.not start! The phrase ie Shakspeare's, and not misapplied: • War's a brain-spattering—windpipe slitting art, • Unless her cause by right be sanctified.

Davoust in Hamburg—Junot in Lisbon— ..Malakoff in the Algerian caves—were guilty of acts—and Wellington at • St. Sebastian— worthy of Russia in Poland or Haynau iu Austria. Butler's offence is words— En- gland's was acts. Was Butler's motive good 'or bad? It is the motive, not the act, that blackens the crime. England is not the land to give America examples as to the treatment of women. America is a country where its youth. arc taught not to insult an old man or wouten,.. and a woman can go through the entire country, without being insulted. America is the land where educa tion and religion gives tone . to the morals of our people. How careful England is to find tliult with our Federal army. Have you seen any qtrestions on the Parli meutary papers asking d' the reports are true regarding atrocities of the Coefederate army? Has the Federal power no friend at Court to ask these questions of Lord Palmerston ?— is it truie that A'ava ,, es, led by Confederates scalped our wounded at Pea Ridge ? Is it true that Governor Sprague fguud some of his aids, who were killed at Bull Run, buried with their fitces downward ? is it true that Federal wounded on the ground at the battle of Winchester were bayonetted by Confeder ate colliers? Is it true that the ladies of a certain town iu Virginia invited one hun dred Federals to their houses to tea, and their brothers, who were in ambush, rushed in and put all to the sword ? • Surely America ought to have one friend bold enough in Parliament, wile , ' Gregory and the Premier are hurling their invectives rootill3t Aille-r-iew r te-i10tt1irt414341444. the skull of a Federal officer is a Lou ben for a Rebel lady !—that Madame Beaurgard, who VMS treated with so much politeness by Ceti.

By some strange misconception, it has be come to be a general belief, that, if the war continues through the summer and fall, the Northern troops must inevitably be defeatel by disease, as they cannot contend with the miasma and malaria of the South, to which the Southern troops nre supposed to be thor oughly injured. Never was a greater mistake made. In the late Mexican war, it' was demonstrated beyond cavil that Northern troops sustained themselves in better, condition—so far as health was concerned—than (IA the South ern soldiers. In the famous Indian war, it Was satisfactorily proved that the•sickke , ;s and mortality ill the British army was less than half of that which depleted the oppos ing fprees. Thirty years two, Capt. Marryat complet ed a series of tables, by which lie showed, conclusively, that Britons could and did suc cessfully meet the climatic changes or the is land of Jamacia, and that the deaths, in the British army, did not equal, in proportion, the deaths among the native ishintlers. .Dr. Livingstone, whose travels into the very heart of Africa have made htin immor tal, also bears testimony to the hardihood or northern blood. ' During his first explora tion three natives in his retinue died to One European. In short, it cannot be„denied that persons of northern birth are more hardy, mid can more successfully avoid disease,- than can people born in a southern Clime. Even thus Ar we find that while sickness prevails to awalunnifig extent in the South ern army.; our Northern , troops are enjoying most' excellent health.

A LIVE YANKEE IN LONDON. BY GEO. W. BUNGAY. A live Yankee, from the Green Mountains of Vermont,. visited the city. of London.— While passing throligh one of the principal thoroughfares of trade and travel, his atten tion was suddenly . arrested by some -beauti ful specimens of writing paper, exposed for sale in a shop window. • Seeing the proprie7 for standing at the . door, the Yankee civilly, inquired what he did with "them nice bits of paper." -• - "We keep ' them to tie up gape seed in," said the cockney, snappishly. "0, ye, du—du ye ?" said Johnathan, while he looked as though he was inventing a trick with which he . intended to pay o ff the impertinent cockney in his own coiti:— Passing down the street a few steps, our.in cligriantYankee saw another merchant, who was not oily an Englishman, but a gentleman also. "I sasr, mister, can you' tell me what that Teller does for a livin' what keeps them ere nice bits of paper at the window." "Yes, sir; he's a small dealer in paper and a sort of scribe. He writes letters for those persons who desire his assistance." • • "I reckon he is a very small dealer, and that he is a pharisee as well as ascribe. Do ye think he'd write a letter for WQ if I pay him for it?" "Certainly h e will, and jump a t the chance. That is his principal occupation." The Yankee thrust • his hands (I might add arms)into his pocket ahnost up to his el bows, for he felt the sting in the waspish words uttered by the paper dealer, and walk ed back to the shop where he had been so rudely treated. "1 say, mister, they say as how you sell paper and 'write letters fur folks what can't write. „What will you t.the to write a letter to my sister Sully ?" I. shall charge you 5 shillings," replied the Englishman, softening his tone as his government does sinse it has heard of our great victories. I ye wria der" spell the words right, ai we do in Vermont?" inquired the Yankee. "To be sure I will. I understand my bu siness perfectly." • "Well I don't care if ye du; I guess you may write to sally." The Londoner procured pen, ink and pa per, and the Yinikee commenced - dictating after the following style: "'Dear sister Sally,' "Trev you got — that down. „y es. „ -. .. a "Rived hi London last'week.' — ffllev you got that down and spelt right?” "Yes—go on."

The following is a -synop sis of its provisions : All the lands owned by the Government are open to settltment under it in quantities mot exceeding 160 acres to each person. • Any person who is a citizen of the United States, or has declared his intention to be come Such, who is 21 years old, or the head of' a family; cr,has served in the military or naval service . of the United States during this Rebellion, can make the entry on pay ment of ten dollars and •fees of the' Register and Receiver of the Land Office.
