No home have I but in my heart,
No other place Of rest :
God grant that naught but death an part,
Or sunder ties so-blest-.
No home have 1, no shelter warm,
Without thy tender love ;
This earth is but a( wilderness,
And_stars_shine not above.
No home have I: if flowers die
Without the gentle .lew, --
Then why should souls_not_perish_ton
When friendship bids adieu ?
No h3me have I, this side the skies,
Except within thy breast!
Build there a fortress strong to shield,
And quell all vague unrest
No home have 1f,.n0 shelter warm,
Only within thy arms :
Strong may they prove ! in time of need
May I feel no alarm ! •
No home have I; hearts often sigh,
And—wintry-blows-the-windy -
Then to !he oak more closely clings
The tendril of the vine.
Put out thy talents to thildr use
Lay - n - othirrg - by - to - ragt - ;
Give vulgar - ignorance - thy - sea ,
And innocence thy trust.
Rise to thy proper place in life--
Trample upon all sin,
But still the gentle hand hold out
To help the wanderer in.
So live, in faith and noble deed,
• Till earth returns to earth—
• So live, that men shall mark the time
Gave such a mortal birth.

`Torture by Authority.'
The New York Evening Post says: In the
last number of hearth and Home Mr. F.• S.
Cozzens gives an interesting and painful ac
count Of some of the tortures practised in our
State prisons, such as the 'buck,' where a
man is hung up between two chairs, head
down, by his hands and feet, and the 'cruci
fix,' the iron collar, &c.
It is curious to remark, in such a case as
this, the value of picturei; there is in the
article an illustration of a man undergoing
the torture of the buck, which tells the story
so vividly that, though the fellow is evidently
a low rough; the position is too painful, and
the picture itself would, if generally circu
lated, suffice to abolish this mode of punish
ment.
Mr. Cozzens tells some strange stories of
the careless inhumanity with which severe
punishments have sometimes been inflicted.
lle relates, for instance, that in one case
'new officer, instructed by his senior is his
duties, by chance admitted that be had never
seen the 'buck' applied. Thereupon a con
vict was summarily called out, and 'bucked.'
-Such outrages are likely to produce muti
nies. Under competent wardens and officers
severe punishments would seldom be neees.
eery, even with the most savage convicts.
Pillsbury, the ablest manager of crimnala
whom our prisons have produced, has never,
I believe, found it necessary to use barbarous
punishments. .
There is a true story of a convict who
threatened to 'kill old Pillsbury the first
chance he got." The fellow was a barber,
and was employed in the prison barber shop.
Pillsbury, when he heard of the threat, went
to the shop, eat down in a chair, removed
his cravat and collar, bared his neck and
called to the convict to come and Shave him.
The man turned pale and hesitated.--
'Come quick,* cried Pillsbury The man
shaved him without a scratch, in silence, but
under great agitation.
'Why did you not cut my throat, when you
had the chance ?' demanded Pillsbury, some
days afterwards, baying called the convict
aside. 'How could I,' stuttered the man;
'I could not hurt you, when you put your
self in my hands, in that way, sir.' The
warden spoke kindly to him,
and exorted
and encouraged him to good behavior; and
the convict, under Pillsbury's management,
became, from being one of the most intracta
ble and savage, one of the mildest and most
trusted of the prisoners, and when his term
expired was set free a thoroughly reformed
wan. ,
Under right management no barbarous
punishment would•be needed in our prisons
and penitentiaries; and the public, when it
bears of a mutiny in Sing Sing, or of a con
vict punished to death, does right to blame
the officers of the prison. Their incapacity
is in fault. •

Had to Wash the Shirts.
While we were lying in camp at,Rossville,
Georgia, the Sixtieth Illinois returned' from
their vetaran furlough with a number of re
cruits. One of these having exhausted his
supply of clean shirts, and 'not yet having
learned to be his own laundress, asked a
veteran where he could get some washing
done.
- 'Do you see those tents there by the
church? Well, go there and ask , for Mr.
Morgan; he does washing, He's a crusty
old cuss, but if you talk pretty nice to him
he'll do it for you.'
The recruit was directed, and found Gen.

you come back with him, and bring all the

They departed, and soon returned with the
guilty veteran and a huge armful of dirty
shirts. socks, etc.
The General, to Smith: 'Did you send
this young man here to have his clothes
washed ?
'Yes, sir; for a joke.'
'For a joke ! Well, we'll have the joke

AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.— A farmer who
had bought a calf from a butcher, desired
him to drive it to his farm and place it in
his stable, which he accordingly did. Now
it happened that very day that a man with
- a grinding organ and a dancing bear, passing
by that way, began their antics in -front of
the farm. After amusing the farmers family
for some time, the organ man entered the
house and asked the farmer if he could give
him a night's lodging. The farmer replied
that he could give the man lodging, but was
at a loss where to put'the bear. After mu
sing a little, he determined to bring the calf
inside the house for the night, and place the
bear in the stable, which was done. Now,
the•butcher, expecting the calf would remain
in the stable all night, resolved to steal •it
ere morning; and the farmer and the guest
were in the night awakened by a tearful
yelling from the out-building. .<
Both got up, and taking a lantern, entered
the stable, when the farmer found, to his
surprise, the butcher of whom he had bought
the calf, in the grasp of the bear, who was
hugging him tremendously, for he could not
bite, being muzzled. The farmer instantly
understood the state of the case, and briefly
mentioned the circumstances to the owner of
Bruin, who to punish the. butcher for his
intended theft, called out to the bear, 'Hug
him, Tommy;' which the bear did in real
earnest, the butcher roaring hideously the
whole time. After they thought he had
•euffered enough, they set him free; and the
butcher slunk off, glad to escape with -his
life, while the farmer and his guest returned
to their beds.
Father. Hecker, a zealous follower of the
Roman Catholic faith, is lecturing in this
country on the wonderful rapidity of growth
developed in America by that Church. He
aays he believes that the dominant religious
influence'of the land, by the close of the
present century, will be Roman Catholic, and
he farther (Says : 'Catholicism will infuse a
religious enthusiasm into the energies of the
people. The question is now pressing on
the American people of determining the
religion, as the Fathers proclaimed its de
termined destiny. I a a few short years it
will proclaim itself Catholic'
There are many who think as Father
Hecker does, and there are many others who
don't think that way. We imagine `there
will be a big row before the people of the
United States consent to embrace the hea
thenish idolatry and beastly lasciviousness
of Popery. It would be worth fighting for,
long and hard, to prevent this Republic from
passing under the dominion of that religious
monstrosity. We have cleaned out slavery,
and we can clean out Romanism just as easy.
TatrE.—An exchange gets up the follow
ing : 'The boy who lurks and lounges about
with a• gang annoying , families, or who in
dulgeß is the wicked habit of insulting per
sons who' pass by his lounging place, or in
assaulting people who give him no offense,
or who thinks it the proper sort of thing to
take a drink when he is out for a 'spree' at
night or on Sunday, is in constant danger of
just the kind of rows and broils that end in
bloodshed and murder. At one end of his
career is this habitual lounging, loafing, dia. ,
order, dissipation or ruffianism, and the oth
er, it ,he keeps on the same' path, is the pris
on or gallows.'
'lf I ever get to heaven,' said Dr. Watts,
'I expect to find three wonders there. Ist.
The presence of some that I bad not thought
to see there. 2d The absence of some whom
I bad expected to meet there. 3d. The
greater wonder of all will be to find myself
there.'

,FLEAS.—The *smallest animal of the brute
creation, and the most pesky, is the fleas.
They are about the bigness of an onion
seed. and shine like bran new shot.
They spring from low places, and . can
spring further and faster than of the big
brutes.
They bile was than the musketose, for
they bite on a
,run, one flea will go all over
a materpsuburs iii 2 minutes t aid leave him
as freckled as the measles.
It is impossible to do anything well with a
flea on you except you aware, and fleas ain't
affaiA of that, the only way is to quit noese
ov aul kinds and hunt for the flea, and when
you hey found him he ain't there. This is
one. of the flea mysteries, the faokulty they
have ov being entirely lost, jist as you have
-found-them.
I don't suppose there is ever killed, on an
average, during any one year, more than 16
fleas to, the whole , of the United States ov
merica, un ass t 'ere is a calamity of some
kind—once in a while there is a dog Bits
drowned sudden, and then there may be a
ew-flease-lost.
They are about az hard to kill as a flax
seed-is, and if you don't mash them as fine
as ground pepper they will start bizness on
a smaller kapital just as pestiverous as ever.
There is lots ov people who never seen a
flea, and it takes a pretty smart man to see
one - any !row ; they don't stay long in one
place.
If you ever ketch a flea, kill him before
yu du ennything else; for if you do put it off
2 minnite, it may be two late.
Menny a flea has passed away forever in
less than 2 minnits.
- BED - Buns-1. never seen ennytiody yet
- but - whatdispized bed bugs. They are thi
meanest of aul crawling, creeping, hopping
or biting things.
They darsent tackle a man by day.lite,
but sneak in after dark, and ohaw while he
iz fast asleep.
A musketo will fight you in broad day-lite
at short range, and give you a fair chance to
knock in his sides—the flea is a game bug,
and will make a dash at you even on Broad
way, but the bed bug is a garroter, who waits
till you strip, and then picks out a mellow
place to eat you,
If I was in the habit of swearing, I
wouldn't hesitate to cuss a bed bug rite tew
his face.
Bed bugs are uncommon smart in a small
way, one pair of them will stock a hair mat
ress in 2 weeks with bugs enuff tew last a
small family for a whole year.
It don't do enny good to pray when bugs
are in season ; and the only way to get rid of
them is to bile the bed in aquafortis, and
then heave it away.and buy a new one.
Bed bugs, when they have grown aul they
intend to, are about the size of a blue jay's
eye, and have a brown complexion and when
they start out to garrote are az a greese spot,
but when they get tbru garroting they aro
swelled up like a blister.
It takes them two days to git the swelling
out of them.
If bed bugs have any destiny to fill it
must be their stemmioks, but it seems few
me that they must have been made by tied
dent, just as slivvers are tew stick into some.
boddy.
If they wuz got up for some wise purpose
they have took the wrong road, for there
leant be eony, wisdum in °hawing a man aul
rate long, and raising a family besides to fol
low the same trade.
If there is some wisdum-in aul this, I hope
the bed bugs will chew them folks who an

hereticks.
SUCCESS MAKES ENEMIES.--They who
are eminently successful in business, or who
achieve greatness, or even notoriety io aoy
pursuit, must expect to make enemies. So
prone to selfishness, to petty jealousy and
sordid envy, is poor human nature, that who
ever becomes distinguished is sure to be a
mark for the malicious spite of those who,
not deserving success themselves are goaded
by the merited triumph of the more worthy.
Moreover, the opposition which originates
in such despicable motives, is sure to be of
the most unscrupulous character, hesitating
at no iniquity, descending to the shabbiest
littleness.
Opposition, if it be honest and manly, is
not of itself undesirable. The competitor in
life's struggles who is one of true metal, dep
recates not opposition of an honorable char
acter, but ho rejoices in it. It is only in
justice or meanness which he deprecates and
despises; and it is this which the success
ful must meet, proportioned in bitterness,
oft times, to the measure of success which
excites it.
Jack Powers is something of a wag; never
missing an opportunity of cracking a joke
when the circumstances will admit. At one
time ho came very near losing his life, getting
caught in the rigging of a shingle machine.
The gearing caught in the scat of his pants,

FROM NE W YORK Td iSAN
NUMBER FOUR.
AaPINWAIL.—If the map is• to be accept
ed,as prophetic, Aspinwall is destined to be
a great Cit,*. It owes its birth to the Pan
ama Railroad and is named After. One of , the
projectors of the enterprise. It has. an ex
cellent harbor, the deepest draught vessels
are enabled Ao come to her wharves without
ferriage. Besides the New York line of
Steamers, it, is the termini of others froth
ranee-and—Englaiiii v also—from--the—eaiter =
coast of South America while another line
plies between it and the West IndieS. Their
pasiengere and freight transferred by rail to
Panama connecting with the Australian, Cal
ifornia and South American packets of the
•
Pacific Coast.
A hundred or so are all the houses in the
town, and the motley populaiion . of about a
n ... • . i anattetaile
roes, and Americans. Cin the Chief street
is a long row of wooden buildings with pro
•eetiri: roofs or sheds, trading houses eating
and drinking saloons. At the'northern end
of the town along the beach are a few scat
tered buildings, gay with white paint , and
green blinds, chiefly occupied by officials of
the railroad. While the freight was being
taken out and the Degrees pleasantly divert
in' themselves in smashin: our trunks most
of the pasSengers strolled around the town
to 'see the sights.'
As you proceed from the, beach, you pass
a few other wooden houses, peaked roofed
cottages with green blinds and verandahs, in
habited by foreign canauls—hurry past an
ugly whitewashed-building-which the pale
-faced-sailor-and melancholy convalescent ne
gro, sitting on the steps.smaking their pipes,
remind you is a hospital. Soon passing some
outlying huts with half•naked negresses and
pot-bellied children eunnin: themselves in
front, you make your way into tho.thicker
part of the town over marshy pools, corrupt
with decaying matter. black rotten roots of
trees and all kinds of putrefying offal, which
resists even the street-cleaning capacities of
those famous black . seavengers—the turkey
buzzards which gather around it.
You now get upon the railroad which leads
out the principal street. The hotels gap
here and there with their wide-open doors
and catch the California travellers who are
often sent away with a fever as a memento
of the place, and shops, groceries, billiard.
rooms and drinking saloons thrust out their
flaring signs to entice the passerby. The
inhabitants of Aspinwall—about as I said
one thousand are of every variety of race,
shade and color. The railroad officials, steam
boat agents, foreign consuls, Yankee traders,
hotel keepers and bar tenders, make up the
whites who are the exclusiVe few. The bet
ter class of mulattoes are from Jamacia and
San Domingo; while the dispensers of cheap
grog, hucksters and venders of fruit and
wares are chiefirla- egroes. The main body
of the population is made up of laborers,
grinning ooal.black negroes from Jamacia,
yellow natives of mixed African and Indian
blood and the sad sedate turbaned Hindoos,
Coolies from the Ganges.
On my trip eastward a few months previ
ous, I witnessed the transfer or treasure from
the dare to the ship. These muscular half.
naked fellows received from freight ears the
bare bricks of silver, bars of gold sewed up
io canvass and boxes of coin, each taking a
ticket describing his parcel to deliver with it
in the ship. Bending and perspiring under
these precious burdens the tawny xorkmen
walked in constant procession between rows
of men prepared for any emergency. This
novel spectacle lasted an hour, convincing
the that half a million dollars in bullion is s
good deal of money and would be awkward
to carry around.
Upon our arrival at this fascinating place
we were informed by some of the Yankees
that we had just missed a juvenile revolu
tion.
A soldier bad attempted to force a native
into the ranks of the - militia; native did'nt
see it; soldier more imperious in his de
mands, endeavored to enforce at the point of
the bayonet; reluctant native again hesitated
to see where the road to glory led add seized
the.musket from the soldier and shot him
whereof he died. Another soldier then en
deavored in the most scientific manner to
shoot reluctant native and killed an innocent
man ; another addict then came up dis
charged his piece at the head'of the native
settling all hie debts by killing him dead.—
Only a little while after for diversity; an A
merican—the Chief Engineer of the railroad
—stepped into the President of the Compa-.
ny's office, bade him good-morning and shot
him, instantly killing, and was about to blow
his own biains out' when a bystander caught

Were it not for the fear that is entertained
for, the government . of the United States not
an American " citizen would •be permitted to
live there: • Neither Panama or Aspinwall
should be left without the ample .protection
of a man of war. A vacillating• policy with
such a contemptible government a s that
which holds sway on the Isthmus is a dis
