Evening.

There are two periods in the life of a man
to which the evening hour is peculiarly in
teresting; youth and old age.-In youth we
love its mellow moonlight, its million Of
stars, its soothing shade and sweet serenity.
Amid these scenes we can with
those we love, and Irvine the wreath of
friendship, while there is none to witness,
but the generous heaven, and the spirits
that hold their endless Sabbath there.-We
look abroad on creation, spread in the slum-
Der of a moonlight scene around; and wraPt
in contemplation, fancy we see and hear
the wavinglwings and melting songso of 9th
er and purer worlds. 1t accords with the
lighter flow of youthful spirits, the ferven-
cy of fancy, and the soft feelings of the
heart. Evening is also delightful to virtu-
Gus age. 1t affords hours of undisturbed
thought. 1t seems an emblem of the calm
and tranquil close of a busy life, serene
and mild, with the impress Of its great
Creator enstamped uponi it. 1t spreads its
quiet wings above the grave, and seems to
promise that all shall he peace beyond it.

CALLING o SOUP.

"Waiter said a biner-out, in a downtown
restaurant, the other day, ''waiter, bring me
a plate of soup, quick"
"say soup again, Stranger" said a tall
Tennessee returned volunteer, who happen
ed to. sit opposite to him, "and Pl give you
a Cerro Gordo whipping, l will. told the
old General when l left him at Jalapa that
when | came to the States T'dlick the first
man I'd hear sayin' soup and I'll be hanged
if / don't do it."
1t was with great difficulty The Tennes'

Modesty and Impudence.

Alas! that it should be sol Modest
worth is too often overlooked, while impu-
dent, clustering rascality is courted and en-
braced. The unassuming man may possess
talents of a high order, but they are not ap--
preciated-especially in his own ~neighbor-
hood. The brow-bedting fellow possesses
the gift of the CAB and is thought to be an
eighth wonder. The former has regard for
the truth, and in whatever business he may
be engaged, will tell you the facts respect
ing any article you wish to purchase. The
latter will lie like the evil one, and you can
place no dependence on what he Jays.
Notwithstanding, the modest, ~unassuming
man is passed by and neglected, while the
impudent and profane character is patron
lied and encouraged. =,
We repeat: alas! that it should be SO!
If men were estimated according to their
real merits, we should see hundreds eleva-
ted who are now cast down; and thousands
in the dust, where they should learn humili-
ty and kindness, who are now on the pima
Gle of prosperity and popular applause

The Lexington Observer says it is a well
authenticated fact that Austin NJ. Chandoin,
son of a poor widow in Green county, and a
member ofCaptain Moss's company of VOL
unteers, lost his life at the battle of Buena
Vista, in attempting to bear off from the
field Lieut.. Col. Henry Clay, Jr., after he
was wounded. He was seen by severalof
his comrades, towards the close Of the bat
tie, bearing off Colonel Clay, and after its
close was found dead near his body. Is ii
not due7to this poor boy, that his remains
be brought to Kentucky, and his name in
scribed upon the monument to be erected
to Colonel Clay?
