THB EVEMNII
Heaven-Moved hour ! delicious evening hour r
How well the sun, as sinking far away,
Ceoli, with mysterious and grateful power,
The hot and fevered pulses of the day !
Toil and turmoil fade with thee begeath
The_gray horizon of our daily life;
And the soft influence of the soothing ISreaflit
Calms in our hearts the throes of bitter meet,
But if the memory of the past day's toil .
Comes gloomily 'upon out weary mind, .
The sunset sheds a tint, a golden foil,
And gilds the thoughts that linger yet Min&
Yet, i as the deepening eve usurps the light,, •
Return again our life engendered woes,.
And memory, dark and gloomy as the' night,- .
On dreamy wing invades our brief reposer•
olden flooded ben ni
=l2
I would resign this life's ephemeral breath,-
And fade into the deeps eternal dreams '
That hover o'er the endless sleep of death!:
I see the bird, at evening, fold its wings;
And drop the silver head upon its breast:
And so, in evening's gentle murmurings,.
l'd fold my arms, and know the hidden rest..
CAN THERE BE HARM IN KISSING 1
The waters kiss the pebbly shore,-
• The winds all kiss the hills;
The sunbeams kiss the tulip bud
For-the-odor-it-distills
Tite - dew-dropbkiss - theerose-at-morny
The cereus dew at eve,
And fern and flower in circling clasp
Their mystic beauties weave.
The moonbeams kiss the clouds at nigh.
The star gems kiss the sea;
' While shadows, dreamy, soft and light,
Are kissing - on the lea.
The zephyrs kiss the bkishing pink
That blooms on beauty's lip;
And ruder blasts, though cold and chill,
Its ruby nectati sip.
The winds, the waves, the budding flowers,
The laughing, merry rills,
Are kissing all, from mom till eve;
And clouds still kiss the hills.
E'en heaven and earth do meet to kiss
Through tears of sparkling dew:
In kissing then, can there be harm?
I don't thank so—do you? ,

designate the occupation in the prosiest Tan
gunge possible, he was a bondman, and"whe
not employed, could always be found durin
working hours at the corner of Montgomer •
and California streets. His hair and lonl
beard were quite gray, and his limbs feeble
and if ho could not shove as heavy a lea.
through the deep sand or up the steep grad,
above him, as the stalwart Teuton on the op
posite corner, thereby losing many a job an•
many a dollar, all the light loads in the neigh
boyhood fell to his lot, and kind-hearted me ,
not unfrequently traveled a square, or tw.
out of their way to give an easy job to 'Pa.
Ainsley.'
Four years ago last September, (I recol
lect the month, for I had a note of four thou
'sand dollars to pay, and was compelled to du
some pretty sharp financiering to meet it,
having two or three dozen volumes to trans

task of transportation. Arriving at my roe"

flights of stairs two or three times, I invite•
him to take a•glass of brandy—a bottle o
which I usually kept in my room for medi

ful for the invitation, he politely declined.
I urged,, but he•was inflexible, I was aston
ished.
"Do you never drink?" said I.
"Very seldom," he replied, dropping into
a chair at my zegnest, and **ping the per
spiration from his forehead.
"Well if • ott drink a all," I insisted "you
will not find as fair an excuse in e no
twelve months for indulging, for you appear
fatigued and scarcely able to stand.'
"To be frank," said the old man, "I don't
drink now: I haven't tasted intoxicating
liquors for fifteen years,
"Since when ?" I inquire,' thoughtlessly,.
observing his hesitation.
The` oldman told.ma. Sixteen years ago
he was a well-to-do farmer. near Syracuse,

I was sent to the lunatic asylum s . from which
he was dismissed after remaining six months.
In Uhl he went to California. He had fol

strength rtneq_ual to the ,pursuit,. he return
ed to• this city, purchased a han&cart—and
the rest is known. "Since then," continu
ed the-old man, bowing his face in his hands
in agony, "I have not tasted liquor, nor
have I seen my poor child."
. I regretted' that I had beense inquisitive,
and expressed to the sufferer the sympathy
I really felt for him. After that I seldom
passed the corner without looking for 'Pap
Ainsley,' and never• saw him•but to think of
the sad story he had to toll.
One' chilly, drizzly day in the December

small marble top table at an auction room.ep

carrying it to his residence, on Stockton
street. Not wishing to accompany the cu
riar he had probably selected , the face giving
the best assurance of careful delivery of the
purchase.
Furnished with the number of the house,.
the old carttnan, after a pretty tryiilg strug

reached his destination, and deposited the

lady did not surmise the reason, until he po.
litely informed her that her husband (for
such he supposed him to be,) had probably
by accident omitted to settle for the car
riage.
"Very well, I will pay you," said the lady,
stepping into an adjoining room. She re
turned, and, stating that she had no meal]
coin in the house, handed the man a twenty
dollar piece.
Ho could not make change. "Never mind,
I will call to-morrow," he said, turning to

"No, no!" replied the lady, glancing pity
ingly at his White locks and trembling limbs.
"I will not put you to the trouble," and she
handed the coin to Brigget, with instruc
tions to see if she could get it changed .at
one of the stores or markets in the neigbor
hood. •

he looked at his attire and hesited; "there is
a fire in•the. grate, and no one there but the
children."
"It is somewhat chilly," replied the old
man, following her into the parlow, and ta
king a seat near the fire.
"Perhaps I may find some silver in the
house," said the lady, as she left the room,
"for I fear that Bridget will not succeed in
getting that twenty dollar piece changed.''
"Come—l love little children," and the
Child Who had been watching him with cu
riosity, ran behind the large arm chair, and
hesitatingly approached. "What is your
name, my dear?" inquired the cartman.
"Maria," replied the little one.
"Maria," repeated he, while the. great
tears gathred io his eyes; "I once bad a lit
tle girl named Maria, and you look very much
like she did." •

"Merciful God!" exclaimed the old , man,
starting from the chair, and dropping into
it with his head bowed upon his breaSt.—
"This cannot be, and yet, why not?"
He caught the child in his arms with an
eagerness that frightened her, and gazing in
to her face until he found conviction there,
suddenly rose to leave the house. "I cannot
meet her without betraying myself, and I

that she looked just like me mother," shout

The knees of 'the old eartman trembled,

A Man who hes not Slept for over
Fourteen Years
At present there is a soldier at the Chest.
nut-Hill Military Hoepital who has not slept
for a single moment for fourteen years and
six months. This may see* incredulous;
bit nevertheless it is true, and can be veri
fied by numbers of persons. ' The individu;
al is an intelligent matt, naturally, and has
the benefit of. a moderate education, Hie
name is C. D.' Saunders, orderly sergeant of
Company G, 13th Virginia Volunteers. He
entered the service of the United States on.
December 23,1863. He is in the forty-fifth
year of his age. His health has been - gen--
crony:excellent-during his life. In 1849 he
.was attacked. with cholera; and since — that
period with lung fever on ,two occasions.—
In the summer of
,1850, sleep forsook him,
and since that time ho has never felt the
least drowsy. He has always led a temper
ate life. His wife and children reside in
Putnam county, West Virg inia. Since he
entered the Union army he has been on sev
en raids and in four charges, chitin , ' which
time lie informs us that he never felt tired
nor sleepy.. He • was in, the four charges
made beyond Harper's Ferry, Va., on the
17th, 18th, 19th and '.2oth of last August,
and yet he did not feel the least sleepy.—
Why itle — thirke — cannot - ordoes-not-sleep-is,
as much a mystery to him as it' 'is to many
scientific gentlemen, who, having had their
attention called to im, have been astound
.ed in their attetnpts to investigate the cause.
Upon One occasion, at his request a num
ber of curiously-inclined gentlemen watched
him for forty-two days and nights consecu
tively,• in order, if possible, to arrive at the
cause 'of_the wonderful phenomenon. These
gentlemen took .turns with each other in the
progress- of watching, so that if be should
chance to sleep it would be observed. Some
of the watchers became drowsy, and it was
as much 'as he could do to awaken them.
This singular man was sent to Philadel
phia by order of the field surgeon. He was
admitted into the hospital at Chestnut, Hill,
on the 17th of November last suffering from
chronic diarrhoea and rhumatism. He has
nearly recovered from his phsyioal disability;
his appetite is good, but yet he does not
sleep. He retires to bed, as other .soldiers,
but he cannot sleep. He simply receives
physical rest. This brief narration of a most
wonderful phenomenon may seem, fabulous,•
but the reader is assured that it is the truth.
Phila. Press.
A Remarkable Prophecy.
Not long ago was found at Toledo, in
Spain, in a monastery, a paper containing the
owing prop.
In the, tar West, beyond the ocean, will
rise a nation which will be great in power
and wealth ; and Satan, in one of his walks
to and fro in she earth, will observe this,ns
don, and, determined to destroy their happi
ness, will there send two monsters, ono to
the North and the other to the South, and
he will eat them; and after they have eaten
they will feel a great thirst, not to be quench
ed with anything else but blood.
They will,therefore cause the brother to
slay the brother, the father to slay the son,
and the son the father; and they will drink
the blood of the slain, and it will bring lam
entation and wailing throughout the land.—
And when the time is fulfilled. there will
rise d strong man' in the North, who will
take the monsters and bind them, and will
draw them into the sea where it is the deep
est, and peace and happiness will again pre
vail throughout, and thopeople will praise.
the Lord.
It is said the monks in said monastery
maintain that this prophecy was written be
lore the discovery of America by Christopher
Columbus; that Ferdinand and Isabella were,
in the main, induced by it to fit out the ship
for Columbus; and that tho'first part of it
is fulfilled in America, and that the other part
soon will come to pass. ' '
Fonryears ago, a Rebel conventon, speak
ing for South Carolina, declared the "Pan
heretofore existing. between that State and
the States of North America is dissolved,"
and that the "State of South Carolina has
resumed her position among the nations of
the world." Where is the pride of her pow.
er to.day ? Her, capital in possession of a
"Yankee" force, her chief commercial city
itr the hands uI the same—.'Yankee- "
presided over for the present by one of the
German 'Boors' they so much detest, her
territory overrun by invading armies, her
principal citizens "fugitives from justice,"—
how has she fallen from her high estate!

Address by President ifineoln.,
A: 'rebel flag, a .turad at Fort. Api.hrpon.
Voluatitektptiab to-day presented ,to finvern.
or Morton"cd'that State, in'frent of the
Na
tionnl Rotel, , A large crowd of people were
in attandanon. , •
. .
t ' Governor Morton made a brief speech, in
mhich-heiengratulated his auditors- on • the
meedy.end of \the:Rebellion, anti eonoluded
introducing President _Line*, whose pn
yity and-patrititism, he said, .were equfessed
by all, even among the most virulent, agita
tors. (Applause.). • : .
"Eris admioistration Will be recognized as
the most important epoolt i of, history. It
struck the death-blow ;to slavery (applause,)
and built-up the republic with a power,. it
bad never before possessed. If he . httil,done
nothing more than to put his - bame to -the
emancipation proclamation, that act alone
would have made bie,name immortal. (Ap
plause.)
The President addressed the aasemblage
substantially as follemst- •
' Fellow-citizens; it will be but few fiords I
shall undertake to say. I was born in Ken
tucky, raised in Indiana, and live in Illinois
(laughter,) and I am now here, where it is
my dutyto be, to eareequally for the good
_people of all the States. I am, glad to see
au - liidiana regiment on this day able to pre
sent this captured flag to the Governor 'of
the State of Indiana, (Applause.). I am
not disposed, in saying this, to,make a dis
tinction between States, for all have done e
qually well, (Applatise.)
There are but few views or aspects of this
great war upon which I have not said or. writ
ten something, whereby my own views might
'be made known. There is one; the recent
attempt of our "erring brethren," as they are
sometimes called (laughter,) to employ the
negro to fight for them. I have neither writ,
ten nor made a speech upon that subject, be
cause-that—was-t beir-business r and-nat_min4.
and if they had a wish upon the subject, I
had not the power to introduce it of make it
effe'ctive.
The, great question with them was, wheth
er the negro being put in the army will fight
for them? Ido not know, and therefore can
not decide. (Laughter. They ought to know
better than we, anirdo know. • I have in my
lifetime heard many arguments why the ne
gro ought to be a slave, but ifthey fight for
those who would keep them in slavery it - Will
be a better argument than any I have yet
heard. (Laughter and applause.) Be who
will fight for that ought to be.a slave. (Ap
plause.)
They have condluded at last to take one
out of four of the slaves and put them in the
army, and that one out of four who will fight
to.keep the others in shivery, ought to be a
slave himself unless he is killed in a fight.—
(A pplause.)
While I have often said that all men ought
to be free, yet I would allow those 'colored
persons to be slaves who want to be; and next
to them, those white men who .argue in fa
vor of making other people slaves. (Ap
plause) lam in favor of giving as oppor
tunity to such white men to try it on for them
selves. applause.)
I will 7a9 one thing with regard to the
negro being employed to fight for them that
.0 now. . 111
Stay at home and make bread too (laughter
and applause;) and 1113 one is about as impor
tant as.the other to them, I don't care which
they do. (Renewed applause.) lam rath
er in favor of having them try them as sol
diers. (Applause.) They Lek one vote of
doing that, and I wish I could send my vote
,over the river, so that I might cast it in fa
vor of allowing . the negro to fight.' But they
cannot fight and work both (Applause.)
We must sow see the bottom of the ene
my's recources. They wilt stand out as long
as they can, and if the negro vfill fight for
them, they must allow hitu to fight. They
have drawn upon their last branch of resour
ces (applause), and we'can now see the bot
tom. (Applause.) lam glad to see the cud
so near at head. (Applause.)
1 have said now more thou I intended to, ,
and will therefore bid you good-bye.
The President then retired; while the
crowd below saluted him with loud and hear
ty cheers, the baud at the same time playing
a lively tune.
