Goo&night is but a little word,
Yet beautiful, though brief,
And falls upon the gentle heart
Like dew upon the leaf—
,
Love's farewell r i oter of tenderness
Upon affection's chord ,•
The clasp that knits thy daily chain
Of kindly Ikeda and words—
A veidant ofive-branch of peace
Under our pillow pressed,
bb Oding its graceful fragrance 'round
Before we sink to rest—
A kindly wiihlhat each may dwell
In undisturbed re pose,
Until the morn her robe of light .
Round every sleeper throws.
Then scorn not t hdd this Ili& word
Of peace and amity ;
It is a link in Love's bright chain,
How small soe' er it be.

Swearing Alone.
A gentleman once heard a laboring man
swearing dreadfully in the presence of mt
. panions. fie told him that it was a coward
ly thing to swear in company with others,
when - he dared not do- it by himself. The
man said he was not afraid to swear 'at' any
time or in any place.
"I'll give you ten dollars," said the on •

,red," said the man, "it's an easy way
of earning ten dollars."
"Well, you come here tomorrow and say
Sou have done it, and the money is years.
The time. panted on; midnight came. The
man went to the graveyard. 'lt was a night
of pitchy darkness. As he entered the grave
lard not a sound was heard; all was still as
death. Then the gentlemans Words, "Alone
with God," came over him with wonderful
power. The thought of the Colcedness of
what be had been doing and what he had
veme there to do, darted across his mind like
n, flash of lightning. Ho trembled at his fol
ly. Afraid to take another step, he fell up
on his knees, and instead of the dreadful
- oaths he 'cams to utter,
the earnest cry Went
up--" God be merciful to me a sinner. "
' The next day he went to the gentleman
end thanked him for what he had done, and
said he had resolved not to .swear anothei
oath as long as he lived.
MAGNITUDE OF RUSSIA.-11USSilt Is the

of North America as_a place of banishment
for offenders. Yet with all his ambition

. The following true story might,; perhaps,
furnish matter for a little comedy, if come
dies were still written in England. It is
generally . the ease that the more beautiful
and the richer a young female is, the more
difficult are both her parents and herself in
,the choice of a husband,; and the more off.!
ere they refuse. The one is too tall, the oth
er too short, this not. wealthy, that not re
spectable enough. Meanwhile one spring
passes after another; and year after year
I. ,carries away leaf after leaf i „Ot the bloom of
youth, and opportunity after opportunity.
Miss Harriet Selwood was the richest heiress
in her native town; but she had already
completed her twenty-seventh year, and be
held almost all her young friends united to
men whom she had at - one time or other dis
carded. Harriet began to be set down for
an old maid. Her parents became really
uneasy, and she herself lamented in private
a position which is not a natural one, and to
which those to 'whom, nature and fortune
have been nigg araly of their 'gifts are oblig
ed to submit !but Harriet, as we have said,
was both handsome and rich Such was the
state of things when her uncle, a wealthy
merchant in the north of England, came on
a Visit to her parents. He was a jovial
lively, straight forward man, aceusionied to
attack all difficulties boldly and coolly.
"You see," said her father to him Lone day
'Harriet continues single. The girl is hand
some, what she is to have for her fortune
you know ; even in this scandal loving town,
not a creature can breathe the slightest im- -
putation against her; and yet she is getting
to be an old maid."
"True," replied "the uncle; "but look you,
brother, the grand point in every affair io
this World is to Seize the right moment; this
you have not done—it is a misfortune but
let the girl go along with me, and before the
end of three months I will return her to you
a wife of a man as young and wealthy as
herself."
Away went the niece with the uncle. On
the way home, he thus addressed }her:
"Mind what lam going to say. -You are
no longer Miss Selwoocl, but Mrs.. Lumley,
my niece, a young, wealthy, childless widow
You had the misfortune to lose your hus
band, Colonel Lumley, after a happy union
of a quarter of a year, by a fall from his
horse while hunting.
"But, uncle-.--
"Let one anarrage, if you pleaso„-MrskLum
ley. Here look you, is the weddin ring
given you by your late husband. Jewels.
and whatever else you need, your aura will
supply you with ; and accustom yourself to
east down your eyes."
The been-witted uncle introduced-his
niece everywhere, and the young widow ex
cited a g reat sensation. The young gentlemen
thronged about her, and she soon had her
ohoice out of twenty suitors. Her uncle
advised her to take the one who was deepest
in love with her, and a rare chance &creed
that this should be precisely the most amia
ble and opulent. The match was soon con
cluded, and one day the uncle desired to say
a few words to his future nephew in pri
vate. •
"My dear sir," be began "we have told
You an untruth."
"Row so ? Are Mrs. Lumley's affec
tions—'
"Nothing of the kind. My niece is sin
cerely attached to you."'
"Then her fortune ) I suppose ) is not equal
to what you have told me r
"On' the contrary, it is larger."
"Well ) what is the matter, then ?"
"A joke, an innocent joke, which came
into my head one day when I was in a good
humor--we could not well recall it after
ward. .my niece is not a widow."
"What ! is Colonel Lumley living'?"
"No ) no; she is ' a spinster. '
The lover protested that he was a happier
fellow than he had conceived himself,; nal
the old-maid was forthwith metamorphosed
into a young wife.
The 'Clergyman and the - Burglar.
The world of fictien hardly contains a more
thrilling chapter than an incident Which mar
ked the •life of Rev. Mr. Lee, wha was re
cently-cut down in his prime, while pastor of
the i'resbyteriatt church in the village of
Waterford, N. Y. The adventure, says the
Troy Times, occured on the night before
Thanksgiving, a few weeks previous to the
commencement of the sudden illness; which
resulted sadly and fatally. Mr. Lee was
sitting in his study about one o'clock in the
morning, preparing a discourse to be deliv
ered to his congregation when assembled for
Thanksgiving worship, when he , heard a
noise behind hint, and became ooncions that
somebody was in the room. Supposing that
a neighbor had dropped in upon some un
forseen errand, Mr. Lee said e
"What is the matter ?" and turned around
in his chair. Ho behold the grim face of a
burglar, who was pointing a pistol at his
breast.. Ttie ruffian bad entered the house
by a side window; supposing that all the oc
cupants were wrapped in blumber, and burst
upon the presence
. of Mr. Lee, herons he
was aware that the study contained an occu
ran t.
"Give me your watch and money," said he,
"and make no noise, or I will fire."
Mr. Lee said : •
"You may as well put down your weapon,
for I shall make no resistance, and you are
at liberty to take aU the valuables I pumas!
The buseuir withdrew his menacing pis
tol, and Mr. - Lee said :
will eoaduct you to the place whore my
most precious-tresseizas are placed." lie o
pened a sloor, - ited pointing to the cot where
his two children lay Annalsering in this sweet
sleep of innocence and peace. "These,"
said be, "are lay ehoicestjeweb.

and, that all his means were devoted to but
one objeet—the education of the tWo chi!.
dren that were reposing in the adjoining
room. The burglar was deeply and visibly
affected by these remarks. •Tears ,filled his
eyes, and he expressed the utmost sorrow at
the act which he had been about to Commit.
After a few remarks from Mr. Lee, the
would-be criminal consented to kneel and
join with him iu-pmyer; and there in that
lonely house,Umid the silence of midnight,
the offender poured forth his r enitence and
remorse, while the representative of a relig
ion of peace and good-will told him t., "go
and sin no more.' Such a scene has few
parallels.
On the conclusion of the prayer, the bur
glar attempted to take his departure by the
broken window through which he had en• ,
tut ed.
"Why not go by the front door 7 said Mr.
Lee
The man replied :
"There are confederates there who would
shoot either you or me."
He desired Mr. Lee to take an oath on the
Holy Seri'tures, never to reveal the partic
ulars of this singular interview Mr. Lee
said it was unnecessary, as he had the kind
est feelings toward him, and should never
divulge aught he had seen or heard. The
nest day. Mr. Lee, while walking% With his
wife, met the man in the strati df ,Water
ford, and on subsequent occagions, saw, him
from tithe to time.
One of the actors in .this singular episode
fills an early grave; but by means that we
are not at liberty to disclose, the event
not die with him. What must be the feel
ings of the other party to this mysterious
meeting, whenever he reflects upon- the

COPPERHEADS AND FUTURE
HISTORY.
When this rebellion shall have been sup
pressed—and it cannot last long at longest —
every actor in it will receive honor or dis
honor.. Every American, -high or low, is an
actor in it. He can't escape it H' he w3uld
for neutrality is in itself defection and dis
loyalty. It will be known and remembe red
how every man bore himself in this crisis of
the nation's life—every man from ocean to
cceau. With men in general it will not be
written on the page of history; but it will be
written on a tablet yet more distinct, the
living memory. Ten, twenty, thirty, fifty
years hence it will be inquired about, and it
will be known how every American who was
on the stage in the Great Rebellion then ac
ted,_whether he-took sides for_oragainst the
Government; and every man, woman and
child in the country will understand it. The
honor and dishonor of it will cleave not on
ly to the individual himself, but'to his chil
dren.
There are those living who remember the
odium which, after the Revolution, clung to
every Tory to his latest breath. No intel
lectual accomplishment, nor any moral worth
aould exempt theni from it. But more than
that, it was transmitted to his children and
his children's children. Even to this day
the American whose ancestor at that time
was known as a Tory, hears, of it with burn
ing shame. Similar contempt was entailed
upon the blue-light Federalists of the last
war. So far as regards the private charac
ter of its members, the Hartford Convention
of 1814 was probably equal to any political
assembly ever held in this country; but of
-ter the war closed every man of them to his
dying day was held in dishonor. He could
no more obtain a public office than if he had
been positively disqualified by law. The ban
of public opinion was upon , him. Though
it was very olearly shown in subsequent
years-that,the majority of the Convention
had no such treasonable intentions as impu
ted to it, yet it is enough that it was a peace
assemblage calculated to embarrass the Gov
ernment. To this day the Hartford Conven
tion is a byword and reproach. There. were
Federalists Who did not approve of 'the Can-,
vention, and yet even they do not fully es
cape. It is still everywhere a reproach to
have been at that time as opponent -of the
Administration at all.
What bath been will be—only in greater
measure. The revolutionary Tory at least
had the apology of, retaining his original
loyalty.. The peace Federalists of the last
war acted against the Government only in
its external relations, and the peace they
sought involved no vital injury to the nation
itself. But the copperhead of the present
day proves 'else to all loyalty, and is ree e
ant in a sense, which the Tory was not. He
is traitorous, too, in a sense in which the
last war Federalists was not; for his peace
policy inevitably carries with it the disrup
tion and destruction of the Repdblie, while
the other peace policy would not have affec
ted the unity and perpetuity of the Repub..
lie at all. There has been in American his
tory no public treachery so unqualified, and
so utterly incapable of extenuation, as that
of the Copperhead of '63 ; and which was
followed with such a terrible reckoning as
will be hereafter exacted for this.
So far as regards 'the judgment of the
next generation, a man of' the present day
had better commit almost any crime in the
calendar, than be guilty of furthering 'the
ends of the rebellion by advocating peace, or
in any other manner. fie might better
leave his children without a dollar than en
tail upon them the scandal of a .father who
turned against his country in the day' f her
extremity.

Execution of trederick Snit
The Hagerstown Herald gives the flOIN•
kg account of the execution of Frederick
Smith at that place on Friday last, which
was witnessed by about 10,000 persons :
"There was nothing very remarkable in
the last hours 'of the dootned man. On
Thursday night he slept some four or five
hours and on Friday morning he arose and
eat a hearty breakfast but noterithstanding
these evidences of seeming indifference to
his itite, he was intensely agitated, and wept
as if the very fountains of his heart had
been broken up. He was visited during the
morning , by the Rev. Mr Evans,, 'the Rev.
Mr. Wagoner, the Rev. Mi. Stitt, the Rev.
Mr. Markwoed, the Rev. Mr, Hyde, and
the Rev. Mr. Vinton. These gentleman sang
and prayed with him, and gave him such
spiritual advice as one in his situation re
quired. Between 11 an 12 o'clock he a
gain partook of food, andllt 20 'minutes of 1
'o'clock, having been previously arrayed is a
suit of black clothes„,and otherwise prepared
for the last terrible scene in his life,, ho was
led from his cell by the Sheriff and his Dep
uties to one of three carriages drawn up in
front of the Jail. Seated in this with the
officers of the law, the other two carriages
being occupied by the Clergy and Medical
Examiners, and accompanied by the moun
ted Guard, he was taken to the place of exe
cution. Ae the iolemn procession moved
onward he buried his face in his handker
chief, and exhibited intense agony, tremb
ling, weeping and sobbing Incessantly.. Be
raised his head but once or twice on the way
to look upon what was to him the last of
earth, and made but a single remark, and
that was an appeal to the Sneriff to lose no
time.
In a very short space of time the vehicles
reached the gallows. Smith immediately a
lighted, and accompanied by the Sheriff the
Deputies atd the Clergy ascended the- scaf
fold, where no time was lost in executing
the stern mandate of the law. He took an
affectionate leave of the Clergy by shakiiig
hands anti kissing each one of them, and in
like manner bade adieu to the Sheriff and
his Deputies, after which Rev. Mr. Stitt
made a brief but very appropriate and beau
titul prayer. The Sheriff then adjusted the
rope, led the doomed - man upon the fatal
trap, who continued deeply moved, weeping
and shaking like an aspen leaf. In an in
stant the rope was attached to the beam a
bove, the cap drawn and the Sheriff on his
way doWn the steps. As he decended he
touched with the heel of his boot a lever or
tteaddle, which caused the trap' to fall, and
at precisely 10 minutes past 1 o'clock the
unfortunate man was launched into eternity.
_Alter„hanging - 10 minutes the pulse entire
ly ceased, and atter being up thirty minutes
he was pronounced dead by the Physicians
present, and taken down and put in a neat
"coffin.
Smith was about 81 years of age; was ex
cedingly illiterate, and wholly destitute of
moral and religious training.
An English Officer's Adventures.
In one of 111 r. Weed's letters from Europe
to the-Mir - slay Evening Journ / the follow
ing anecdotesnre told :
• "Sir John Wilson, a'veteran curd to
whom I was introduced said that he receiv
ed 7 wounds (then Captain Wilson) on the
Niairra frontier, in 1814, and was brought
wounded, with Gen. Scott, to Albany, where
he remained several weeks, and was then ta
ken to Pittsfield. He spoke-randy of Gen.
Scott's gallantry and generosity. He also
remembers, gratefully, the kind attentions of
his American surgeon, (Dr. Tho inns of
Poughkeepsie,) who entered the army about
the time Gen. Scott was appointed a Cap
tain.
"Sir John related several incidents that
occurred on his way to Albany. A low
miles 'west of Canandaigua, at a tavern, he
was annoyed by - a Yankee, who came into
his room, sat down and asked all kinds of
questions, many 'of them in bad taste if not
impertinent. Before leaving-Captain 'Wil
son asked for Porter, but it ,could not be ob
tained- Some hours afterwards, its th e
wounded officer was journeying eastward, ho
was overtaken by the Yankee, 'who said,
4 ' Well, Capting, I 'spose you did not
expe©t to see me aging" -The officer replied
..that he had neither expected nor desired
to see him again." "Well," responded the
Yankee, "never mind that. I heard you say
you wanted porter, and I bon4Ot you some.
then producing a bottle and tumbler, poured
it out and handed it to the Captatn, who
drank it, was refreshed, and offered, with
thanks, payment. "I don't want no pay for
that nor these six bottles. What wo Amer
cans want is to whip the British, add treat
them well afterwards, ,tqwially if they are
wounded.'
"This incident, said .Sir,John, with the
luess of ail classes .t k o im, led him to
cherish pleasant recollections of America,
and to pray devoutly that the horrors of
another war between kindred, who ought to
be friends, may be alerted."

JUST Luck ROSECitANs,—Nr. J. W. has
handed us a letter. from his br3ther, a chap
lain in the army of the Cumberland ; who
gave this interesting anecdote of Gen. Rose
crane :
Oa Wednesday, while we were Motioned
as guard to the Lord, Oen. Romer:lns,. came
Up to Col. Price,. commanding the brigade,
and said :
'You're Col. Price, commtnding the sec
ond brigade, are you ?'
'Yes, sir!
-'Well, Colonel, Will you hold this ford ?'
'Well, General, I will if I can:
'That won't do, sir,' said Roseerans, 'Will
you hold this ford ?'
'l'll die in the attempt,' respOndei the cau
tious Colonel.
'That won't do, air. Will yon hold this
ford?'
Rill' said the Colonel, firmly, and Gen.
_Roseorans_rode oft without another word, tad
eft the Colonel to fulfil his promise,
NOT VET.—"Not yet," said a little boy,
as he was busy with his trap and ball.—
"When-I grow older ) I will think about my
soul."
The little boy grew to be a young man.
"Not yet," said the young man. "I am
now about to enter into trade. When I see
my business prosper, then I shall have more
time than now."
Business did prosper.
"Not yet," said the tuaa of business. "My
children must have my care. When they
are settled in life I shall better be able to at
tend to religion"
Re lived to be a gray-headed old man.
"Not yet," still he cried. "I shall soon
retire from trade, and then I shall have noth
ing else to do but to read and pray."
And so lie died. He put off to another
time what he should have done when a.
child. fie lived without God, and died
without hope.
THE UNION SENTIMENT IN MISSOURI.-
A letter from Palmyra, Mo., to the Boston
Journal, says the prospecti of that State are
most promising: "The rebel sympathisers
are fas't selling out, and leaving Their places
to be filled by good and loyal men. The U
nion sentiment in Missouri is intensely loyal;
it recognizeebnt two' parties i the one for the
Union, the other against it.. So we think
and act. We are getting ,Mora loyal every
day. We understand the awfulVesponsibilt
ty resting on the President, and we will stand
by him through this fiery ordeal, and with
him conquer or perish. Such are the senti
ments expressed in the current thought, and
in the public meetings which gather to con
sider the posture of affairs and the freseot
crisis. We fear nothing for Missouri."
MAKING 11,001K.1t was Henry Clay, we
think, who, after he had finished his studies,
went to a certain town with letters of recom
mendation to an influential member of, the
bar, and sought his advice and influence in
establishing himself in his profession. The
encouragement he received was something.
like" this: "I would be very glad to render
you any assistance in my power, Mr. Clay,
but really there is no Toom in this place for
another lawyer!' Mr. Clay, (if ho was the
individual, for it is a long time since we
heard the story), nothing daunted, straight
ened himself and, with the reply, "Then sir,
liut'ud to make room," left the house.—
The sequel need not be told.
