I Pretty Love Song.
I love you—'tis the simplest way
The thing I feel to tell ;
Yet, if I told it all the day, ;
You'd never guess how well,
You are my comfort and my light,
My very life you seem ;
I think of you all day ;—all night
'Tie but of you I dream.
There's pleasure in the lightest word
That you can, aPeak to me;
My soul is like the R.olion chord,
And vibrates still to thee.
I never read the love song yet,
So thrilling, fond or true,
But in my own heart I have met
Some kinder thought of you,
I bless the shadow on your face,
The light upon your hair ;
I like, for hours to sit and trace
The passing changes there;
I love to hearyour voice's tone,
Although you should not say
A single word, to dream upon
When that had died' away.
0 I you are kindly as the beam
That warms where'er it plays;
And you are gentle as a dream
Of happy future days
And you are strong to do the right,
And swift the wrong to flee;
And, if you were not half so bright,
You're all the world to me.
ar There comes to us a host of re
ports, says the Newark Courier, mi\gled
with gratuitous opinions, respecting the
operations of the new reconstruction
bill in the South. We hear of various
threats on the part of some of those val
iant " last-ditchers " that they will nev
er submit to the ,despotism of the Uni
ted States Government. Such malcon
tents pat their thorights of resistance
into poetry (t) and music, and sing
their determination in heroic verses, of
which the following is one :
4 4 I can't take up my musket
And fight 'em now no more,
But I ain't a goin to love 'em,
And that is &attain sure,
And I don't want no pardon
For what I was I am,
And I won't he reconstructed,
And I don't care a damn."

VOL. XIII.--NO. 33.
The Bev. W. H. Milburn, in his "Ten
Years Of a Preacher's Life." relates the
following anecdote of Rev. Peter Cart
wright, rhp had been deputed to attend
a conference at New York. A room
had been reserved for him at the Irving
House; bat arriving late at night, the
t eleepy i hotel• clerk did not recognize Lip
name in the somewhat illegible charac
ters which the backwoodsman inscribed
is the register book, nor Cartwright
'himself in the farmer-like looking man
before him. The great preacher was
therefore lodged very high up, and im
mediately below the tiles.
The patronizing servant explained to
the traveller the use of the various arti
cles in-the room, and said, on leaving
(pointing to the bell•rope) " Ifyou want
anything, you can just pull that, and
somebody will come up."
The old gentleman waited until the
servant'had time to descend, and then
gave the rope a furious jerk. Up came
the servant, bounding two or three steps
at a time, and was amazed at the reply
in answer to his "What will you have
sir ?"
" How are you all coming on down
below ? It is such a long way from
there to here that a body can have no
notion even of the weather where your
are."
• The servant assured him that all was
going on well, and was dismissed ; bet
he had scarcely reached the office be
fore another strenuous pull at the bell
was given. The bell in the City Hall
tad struck a fire alarm, and the firemen,
with their apparatus, were hurrying with
confused noise along the street.
"What's wanting, sir," said the irrita-
ted servant.
"What's all this hullabaloo ?" asked
the stranger.
"Only a tire, sir."
"A fire, sir 1" shouted Cartwright.
."Do you want us all to be burned up ?"
knowing well enough the fire was not
on the premises.
The servant assured him of the dis
tance of the conflagration, and that all
was safe, and again descended. A third
furious pull at the bell, and the almost
breathless servant again made his ap
pearance at the door.
"Bring me a hatchet," said the trav
eler in a peremptory . tone.
"A hatchet, sir," said the astonished
waiter.,
"Yes, a hatchet."
"What for, sir."
"That's none of your business ; go
bring me a hatchet."
The servant descended, and informed
the clerk, that in his private opinion,.
the old chap was erazy, and that he
meant to commit suicide, or to kill some
one in the house, for he wanted a hatch
et.
The clerk, with some trepidation,
ventured to the room beneath the leads,
and having presented himself, said, in
his blandest tone, " 1 beg your pardon,
sir, but what was it you wanted ?"
"A. hatchet," said the imperious
s ranger.
"A hatchet, sir, really ! but for what ?"
said the clerk.
"What foil why look here, stranger.
Yon see I am not accustomed to these
big houses, and it's such a journey from
this to where you are that I thought I
might get lost. Now it is my custom,
when I am in a strange country, to blaze
my way. We cut notches in the trees,
and call that blazing, and then we can
always find our way back. So I thonght
if I had a hatchet, I'd just, go out and
blaze the corners from this to your place
and then I would be able to find my way
back."
" I beg your pardon," said the mysti
fied clerk, "but what's your name, sir ?
I could not read it very well on the
hOok."
" My name," replied the other—"cer
tainly; my debts are paid, and my will
is made—my name is Peter Cartwright,
at your service."
"Oh, Mr. Cartwright," responded the
othar, " I beg ten thousand pardons.
We have a room for you, sir, on the sec
ond floor—the best room in the house.
This way, sir, please."
"That's right," said ,the old gentle.
man, ".that's all I wanted."
