Out froms city of cepselese strifeHeavily burdened with a broken life,Over ihe Dill a young girl came,Wfearily seeking lost pence to gain.

In the fenees wild Of a fevered brainTo free herself from a life of pain,Was her only thought as she journeyedWith the bitter pst to dwell upon. [on

For her no hope the ftare held,By memories of the past eespeliedOnward In the hope wo ndIn endless rsat, a fate more kind.

In the fading light of the ssttig mea,Too weary and faint tojourney on,.Praying the aher her ceal to keep"She laid hemeslfIdeww to a dream

Under a mantl, of windutosed leave.,m the dees i ifight and rising breams,

On NIare's bfmreueet brown,Mhe laid her lifelong burden down.

And the sue rem up andf ned her there,And kissed the rsea. of gold brown

The Vi iOutrage.

The conclusion of the startlingopinion of Attorney-General Wil-liama itn the case of the steamerVirginius was to the effect thatshe was not at the time of herseizure by the Spaniards anAmerican vessel, sailing under aregister properly obtained. Ithas not been credibly announcedthat the attorney of the Spanishgovernment, Pon-in-law of theSecretary of State, had aught todo with the procurement of thisopinion, but were it known thathe took part in the contrivancethe inference would be that hewas moved by the prospect of afee on a Spanish claim for indem-nity to be preferred against theUnited States government onaccount of compelling the returnof the Virginius; but whether ornot the opinion was procuredthrough such agency, and for theobject named, there ialittle doubtthat it will be used as the basisof a claim for indemnity.

Papers have been filed in theState Department with this endin view, and it has been intimatedby officials connected with thebusiness that these papers con-stitute an ample foundation forthe claim. More than this, thedepartment has been for a weekpast engaged in making up thecase in anticipation of 4 formaldemand for indemnity. This sus-picious haste in preparing theway for a dive into the publictreasury appeared hardly credit-able. The truth of the assertionis insisted upon by a gentlemanwho has been found reliable inmany -other instances.-N. Y.

Bill Sandusky was somethingof a character. In the old days,when anybody could get a pilot'slicense for five dollars, Bill gothimself made into a pilot fornearly all the Western rivers,and vaunted his knowledge loud-ly to the captain of a new steam-er about starting up Red River.Upon getting into the dangerouspart the captain expressed somedoubts as to. Bill's familiaritywfi that peculiarly difficultriver, whereupon the confidentpilot replied:

"Why, cap'n. I know everyrock and snag in the wholecreek."

Just at that moment the boatstruck a sawyer, which ran upthrough the hurricane deck, be-tween him and the captain.

"There, cap'n," said he, "Itold you;I knew where everysnag was, and there's one of 'em!"

Among all other virtues, hu-mility, the loveliest, is pre-emin-ent. It is the safest because itis always at anchor; and that

man may truly be laid to live1the most content in his calling,that strives to live within ,the

compass of it.

Prayer is the peace of our spir.it, the stillness of our thoughts,

the etenness of our recollection,the se of meditation, the rest oT

our cares, and the caler of our!tenIlpest ; prayer is the issu: of c

Charity and the sitevoft looek-nees; and he that es, to Godwith.-an angry. that s with atroubled and diseomposed spirit, Iis like hhI that retires into a

The Daily Vicksburger relatesthe following story, and vouchesfor its truthfulness :

A colored man from the coun-try happened into Vicksburg lastweek, and was looking around tobuy some bacon. He at lastpurchased some of a rascallydealer at a very low figure, butsoon discovered that it was spoil.ed. The dealer refused to takeit back, and the colored manbrought the offender before Jus-tice Brooks. The meat was pro.duced and shown to be bad, andthe justice proceeded to pronoun-ce judgment, which he did in'the following words :

"You are guilty of offeringspoilt meat, and the evidenceshows that you have actually soldsome of the meat to the Plaintiffhere. Now, in doing thai, youhave violated the law. You havebeen guilty of a crime which en-dangers the lives of your fellow-beings. That meat, sir, wouldkill any man, and I know it, andyou know it. Now, sir, it is or-dered by this court that all thismeat before us, and similat meatin your possession, be forfeitedby you, and that it be sent tothe county poor house."

A farmer and his wife called ata Detroit photograph gallerylast week, to order some photo-graphs of the latter, and whilethe operator was4 getting ready,the hu.,band gave his wife a littleadvice as to how she mast act;"Fasten your mind on some*thing," he said, "or else you willlaugh and spile the job. Thinkabout early days-how yew fish.er got in jail, and your motherwas an old solder, and whatyou'd had been if I hadn't pitiedyou! Jest fasten your mind onthat 1"

Morality without religion isonly a kind of dead reckoning-an endeavor to find our pase ona cloudy sea by messuaag thedistance we have to run, bwithout any observation ofheavenly bodies.

An exchange says: "the farm of Dr. Henry RidgeDover, Del., is a peach tree,which was gathered in pee dano less than twenty-twoof peaches. Another tree "oe.twenty-one and a half b akets.The first was of the late old Nix-on variety, and was sold atDoerdepot for $1 per basket, or $45,-50 clear for produce ofthe twotrees."

"Came to his death while be.ing hit on the head with a !lonhandled stewpan in the hhis wife" was the vedl**recent case in Illinois.: .

Andrew Jackson a aesedof bad spelling, when John Ri.-dolphi defendedhig by deolaelngthat "a maspemst bea fool whocould not spell srord morewaysthan one."

That farmer understood hu.man nature who am : "If yonwant your boy to stay at home,don't bear too harden the grind.etone hen he turns the crank."

IUnbounded patience is' necee.sary to bear not only with our-selves. but with others, whesevarious tempers ant dispositionsare not congenial to our own.2 That which is distinct fromtnan is unknown and uakaow-
