Our school day loves, say what you will, What e:er their fate may prove, -Are such wo ne'er their place can fill By any later love. So beautiful, so pure, so true, r .In—the-heart, We vainly seek life's autumn through To find their counterpart, The hart may bring to later shrines Oblations warm and true, But fairest still the earliest 'shines For, lwai o the first we knew. Ah ! don't we all remember well, ._ln those_bright days of yore, flow, better then we learned to spells We - learned love's mystic lore!! And though the ashes of those fires Lie mouldering in the urn, Our widowed hopes upon their pyres Still in remembrance burn. And reverent memories fold their wings In peace around the heart, As we recount the pleasant things In which our lives bore part. I know not why love goes to school— It cannot be to learn, Or study fevered brains to cool, ' a ap_a_priza_taxam- I rather think it is the prize; whatsoer-the-cause, M=ME 'Tis not against the laws.

Close, but peaceful they rest, under shafts and spires of marble, or perchance without even the rudest memorial to the activities they once bore, the pomps they once dis played. Two hundred times more than all the generations of the living., encamped out there in church yard cemetery, and by the way side. Myriad millions, obeisant to the awful shade, the grim spectre who rides the pale horse. Ceasless migration from the halls of life—the great, the proud, the rich, the poor, the bond, the free; brothers and sisters all, with: one God for their common father, one earth for their sepulchre, one turf to hide their dust. What history, what romance, what tragedy, what secrets' and mysteries are locked up with them in the grave. And how- soon, too, shall we all march down thither. "where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest ;" down thither where the sleep is dreamless, until the great day when the trumpet shall sound, bidding- the nations . of the dead to 'arise ! Sacred, and green i tind, evermore fragrant with the breath of flowers, and musical with the sound of gentlest foot falls, and the-song of the dead. They were all beloved in their day—all fathers or mothers, or brothers , or sisters, or friend—or if any were foes, heir enmity lies not in the tomb. Good or bad, as ran the record of their lives, bait ours 'to reverence- their dust—God will judge them God, who is the _searcher of our hearts, and who is wiser, and _ more merciful than man. , _ verily; it is not well for us to bethough t- less of the dead.

EXTRACTS. WO extract following from 'o a proeic7. - motion recently issued by - Gov. Johnson of Georgia:— I now feel bound to declare to you one thing which you rou.4t recognize as accom plished; and the sooner you know it, and conform to it, the sooner you will b3retieted from military rule. Slavery exists tie more This is decreed. Its restoration under an imlFr — t, is utterly out of the questiori. — Sla= very has been extinguished by the operations of the late war. Ido 'not propOse, in this connection, to enter upon'a lengthy argument to prove it. I simply state what. is univer sally acknowledged by all writs on national , rents-have the right to make captures of persons and property, and that they may make what disposition 'they please of the property captured. The vanqutsbed are at the disposition of the conquerors, and may be disposed of as they think proper.— Such is"war, and it is a sin against God and humanity that it should be waged. We must submit to the result of the war. Con gress; by the Constitution of the United States, has the power to give to the Presi dent the reg,ulations of captures by sea and -land, and •the President, in the exercise of this power given to him by the Constitution and by Congress, issued his proclamation . disposing of their captures, declaring that all the negroes who were slaves in the revolted States, should, by virtue of that proclama tion, become emancipated Such is, in my judgment, the •law, and I believe the Su preme Court will so decide. * • * •* We have lost our capital in negro proper ty. It is gone. We are reduced, as a peo ple, to bankruptcy. We have .been in af uencei-and--ortr-ricire-s—lift-e Ito - wn away.— But who is to blame? From what source came the result? It is from tke_svar it is ..e-of-the-powalties — we must-pa - y-7-7 , war of our own seeking, and such has been the result of it. We made the. war. As a Southern man I am bound to say, and his tory will say, we fired the first gun, 'the re sult of - Which , has been a war of 4i g autic,_ lairxe - prop - ntti - on - s - . -- W - e — haTT — re po v e r ish e d by our folly, and such will ever be the result of stupeoksus folly. But while I say these things on this point, I think some advantages will result from this war in the .future. Whilst we have been hurt °and chastised for the present, yet let us remember that we may accumulate property - in the future, and all our surplus capital, instead of being laid out in negroes, will he expended in permanent improvement in increasing the comfort (dour homes, ma nuring our lands, planting orchards, build ing permanent fences, and in manufactures of all kinds. Attracted to this !anti, ennui grants from other parts of the world and from the North will come to settle amongst us because we have as good a clime as any under the sun. Our towns and villages, instead of going to decay, will improve. and arts and sciences will flourish among us, Such, I believe, will be one of the results of this war. And not only that, there is another advan tage. We have been very sensitive as a people We allowed no wan to think that slavery was a moral, social, or- political evil, and if any one thought thus he was deemed unsound, a n d arraigned before vigilance committees. Even when Lord John Russel in England, took occasion to say he hoped slavery would be abolished bye this revolu tion, our people commenced abusing him as if he had trespassed upon our rights. We abused mankind when they differed with us, and we carried our opposition to men's thitik ing as they pleased to such an extreme, that men among us who dared to differ lion] us on this subject were arraigned. hot by law, or before a legal tribunal, but before vigilance societies and personally abused. Civiliza tion was almost driven from the land; law and order were suppressed by th,,ese lawless men. But, now we can look over this land. and pray, as Solomon did, that all. of Adam's race may be elevated to dignity and happi ness. Now every one may, in the exercise of his constitutional rights 'advocate slavery or denounce it, surrounded as he is, by the power of the Government of the United States, which protects us fully in the enjoy-' ,went of these rights. . But, fellow citizens, as I have before re marked, we have severely suffered from this war. Our towns have been burned and de stroyed. our fields have been laid waste, our homes and cattle have been taken from us, and our children have, fallen on bloody fields, But; notwithstanding this, there is hope.— It seems to be the order of Providence in dealing with nations, as He deals with indi viduals, that they will be perfected by suf ferings. We shalt come out of this• contro versy a more glorious and happy people.— The presence of liberty will be well garded Among ma: We shall remain a free and uni ted people. In looking down the vista of time, I see Georgia ten fell. more prosper ous, and when all our sectional prejudices shall have died away,' we shall meek together North' and South, as brethren, rejoieing un der our Government, and marching on to the glorious destiny which is before us. Not only will Georgia increase wealth and pop ulation, but the whole Sou thern country Will be more prosperotis in arts, mannfam tures. wealth and civilization. I see them . niarChing on in this.new order' of .things.— The whole country united 'in — the' bonds of charity and 'love, 'must'gi&. on' prospering un til this great' nation' shalt ''lig.uneiltraled 'by any power on earth.'' - entr 'cOuntry;• these are her. prospecti.

Th - e followingsummary, compilidlfrom the statue of the several States, of penalties in• flicted upon persons who had taken up arms on the side of the enemy, or in any way-ren dered aid and comfort to the enemy is very interesting at this tithe: New Hampshire passed an act in 1777, &blaring all persons resident within the State, with either levied war, or aided the enemy in carrying on war, agaiast the lid. ted States, to be guilty of treason, and for feiting their goods and chattles to the, use of the State. • In Connecticut it was made treason, pun• ishable by death, to aid or comfort the ene- Massachusetts, in 1777, declared all per sons abiding within that State, and deriving protection from its laws, to owe allegiance to it, and that all such persons, if guilty of levying war, or conspiring to evy-wari-a gainst any of the, United State's, should suf fer the pains of death. It further enacted, that any concealment of treason should for feit all their goods and chattels to the State during his life. In Rhode Island, death and the entire con fiscation_of property were the penalties of ad hesion to the royal cause. Pennsylvania, early in 1777, enacted that 'all enemies resident within the State or those who should aid or assist the public "enemy, should be held guilty of high treason, and suffer death. Their estates were, by the same act, declared forfeited to the Common wealth; New York passed .laws authorizing her Governor "to remove certain disaffected and dangerous persons from the limits of the State ;" also, an act to remove "neutral per suns"-to-the eue - rntes upon - the refu sal to take.the oath. of allegiance. Also, in 177_9, atLactior_thelorfeiture-and-sale-otthe property, Also-an-act-fin--the---bwristrtreTat . of all tories. New Jersey, in 1776, passed an act to pun ish traitors and disaffected persons" by death or imprisonment, according to the nature of the offence, and forfeiting their property to the State.. Maryland passed, in 1777, "an act to pun: ish certain crimes; and to prevent the growth . of toryism," which enacted that all persons proved to have adhered to the enemy shall be adjudged guilty of treason, and shall suf fer death, without the benefit of clergy, and forfeit their estate. In Delaware, by an act passed in 1778, the real and personal estate of all aiders and a bettors of the enemy, was declared absolute. ly forfeited. Virginia, in 1776, defined by statue what should be treason in that State, and decreed, for a:I convicted of levying war against the 'Commonwealth, or adhering to its enemies, the punishment of death without the benefit of clergy, ann forfeitur'e of all lands and chattels to the Commonwealth, In North Carolina, the kw of 1777. de clared all persons in the limits of that State to own allegiance to it, and adjudged the penalties of death and cOnfiscatioa to all such persona as aided the enemy. Georgia, in 1778, forfeited and cobfis ea foci the estates of a multitude of persons who had been guilty of incivism. South Carolina, the modern hot-bed of se cession, passed, early in 1776, "an act to pre vent sedition, and punish insurgents and'dis turbers of the public peace," in which "Cap ital Punishment" was denounced against all taking up arms, or aiding or abetting the'for cign enemy. It is also declared that all lands and tenements, goods and chattels of such persons, should be sold within one month, and the proceeds deposited in the Colony Treasury at Charleston. Such is the record of the legislation of the "old thirteen" against traitors and domestic enemies. It is a consistent, though severe testimony, to the necessities which every civ il war has imposed upon a Government. Items for Housekeepers Do every thing in a proper time. Keep every thing in its place. Always mend clothes before washing them. Alum or vinegar is good to set colors, red ; green,. or yellow. Sal-soda will bleach; one spoonful is enough for a kettle of clothes. Save your suds for the garden and plants or to harden yards when saudy. A hot shovel held over varnished furni• tare will take out white spots. A bit of glue, dissolved in skim milk and water, will restore old craps. Ribbons of any kind should be washed in cold suds, and not rinsed. If ,flat irons, are rough, rub them well with fine salt, and it will make them smooth. , If you are buying carpet for durability you must choose small figures. A bit'of soap rubbed on the' hinges - Of; doors will prevent them from creaking. Scotch snuff pal in holes where • crickets run will destroy them. Wood ashes and common salt, wet with tater,.will stop the cracks of the stove and. atop the smoke from escaping.

The ' boy'aid as he' was bidden, and soon appeared at the back door. "You want a breakfast, more like," said the-servant-girl-,-"and I can' give youthat without troubling Lim." "Thank you, "said the boy, "I should have no objection to a bite, but I should lik: to' ee Mr. if he can see me." "Some old clothes may be your want," re .. eked-the-servant, again eyeing t e . patched clothing. "I guess he has none to spare, he gives away a sight," and without minding the boy's request, she, went away a bout her work . "Can I see Mr. --?" again asked the boy, after finishing the bread and butter. "Well,. he is in the library, if he must be disturbed he must, but he does like to be a lone•sometimes," said the girl in a peevish tone. She thinks it very foolish to admit such an ill-looking fellow into her master's presence. However, she wiped her hands and bade him follow. Opening the library door ; she .said: "Here's somebody, sir, who is dreadful anxious to seb'you, and so I let him in." I don't know bow the boy introduced him. self, or how he opened business, but I. know that after talking awhile, the Prinhipal put aside the volume he was studying and took up some Greek books and began• to examine the new corar. The examination lasted some time. Every question which the Prin cipal asked the boy, was answered readily. U poti_m_y_word," exclaiined—t-he-ptiuei pal, "you certainly do well," looking at the boy front head - to foot, over his spectacles. "WhY,Triy, boy, where did you pick ups_o_ much."

Truly, are not spare moments the "gold dust of time," How precious they should be? What account can you show for them? Look and see.— Tbii boy can tell you how very much can be laid up by improving them and there aro many other. boys, I am afraid, in jail, in the house of correction, in the forezastle of a whale ship, in the tippling shop, who if you should ask them when they began their sin ful courses might answer; "in my spare mo ments." "In my spare moments 1 gambled for mar bles. In my spare monsents I began to smoke and drink. It was in spare moments that I gathered wicked associates."

One day last winter; a little boy from the South, who was on a visit to the city, *as taking his first lesson in the art of "sliding down Lill," when he suddenly found his feet in rather too close contact with a lady's -rich silk dress. Surprised, mortified and confus ed, he sprang from his sled, and cap in bated, commenced on earnest apology, "I beg your pardon, mama; lam very sorry." "Never mind," exclaimed the lady., "there is no harm done, and you feel worse about it than I do." "But, dear madam," said the boy, as his eyes filled with tears, "your dress is ruined. I thought you would be very angry with me, for being careless." "On no," replied the lady, "better 'have a soiled dress than ruffled temper." "0 isn't she a beauty ?" exclaimed the lad as the lady passed on, "Who is that lady ?" returned his com rade. "If you call ber a beauty you shan't choose for me." • "Why phe is more than thirty years old and her face is yellow and wrinkled." "I don't care if her face is wrinkled."— replied the little hero, "her sou&is handsome any how." A shout of laughter followed, from which the little fellow was obliged to escape, Re lating the incident 'to his mother, be remark ed "Oh, mother, that lady did me good.

"Well, then, my errand this morning is to request you from this day to pray as fervent ly for your salvation as you have, done• for damnation; and may God in mercy bear your prayer." The man from that time became an attend. ant on Mr. Kilpin's. ministry, and it ended in his early conversion to God. • • TA LE OF REBEL CRUELTY .- Among the visitors at the Freedmen's Bureau 'on Monday, soliciting relief was a footless ne- gro, w ose s ory a most-surpasses— were it not that its authenticity is establish ed beyond a' doubt by coroborative evidence. "Just previous to the breaking ont of the war he was employed by a Dr.' Lee, living near 'Washington, in, Maryland,who com pensated him for his services,he_being-a - fte - 6 — man. In 1849 the negro was persuad ed by the Doctor to accompany him to Geogria, from which States he afterwards removed to Tennessee, where he kept the Knoxville Hotel. In the town of that name, in 1863, this same Dr. Lee hired the negro to a Capt, N. G. Gammon, a Quartermaster in the confederate States army at Jonesbo rough. Here•he was employed for eight or ten months; when he attempted to escape to our lines, in doing which he was apprehend ed and returned to Captain G., who immed iately took him in person to Dr- Williams, -in charge of the general hospital at that place, and ordered him (Dr. W.) to ampu tate the legs of the "d--11 nigger," to pre vent him from running away. In compli ance with this demand his legs were that night amputated just above the ankles, and his legs left undressed by the surgeon. In the morning Dr. W., on visitiog the hospital, found the negro still alive, and after express ing his surprise with an oath said he had intended to kill him. Ile then ordered the negro to house of an old slave woman, where tbe negro was found recovering from the amputations, on the entry of our troops." A Curious incident lately occurred in a French Criminal Court. A young woman carrying a child less than a.year old in her arms, was arraigned for having stolen three gold ten-franc pieces from the house of a la dy where she called on business. The pris 7 Doer stated in her defence that the baby snatched the coins from a table without her knowledge, and carried them home in its hare; that she had just discovered them there, and was preparing •to go back' with the money, when she was arrested. The defense was thought most improbable, owing to the child's age; but the president in order to test its possibility, ordered one of the ushers to lay three gold picees on the ledge of the dock, within the baby's reach.. The mo ment the little thing saw the , money it clutched the pieces firmly and attemptel to put them in its mouth. The experiment sat isfied the tribunal that the woman had told the truth, and she was in consequence ac quitted of the charge. CAMP MEETING ANECDOTE.—At a camp meeting a number of ladies continued stand ing on the benches, notwithstanding the fre quent hints from the minister to sit down.— A reverend old gentleman, noted for his good humor, arose and said: "I think if those' ladies standing on the benches knew they had holes in their stock ingi; they would sit down." • This address had the desired effect.— their was an . immediate sinking into . the seats. , '.'9young minister standing kehind him and blushing to the temples said: "o,•brother, how could you say that?"
