GENERAL WILLIAM o. BUrLER.-Thc
Commander-in- Chef of our army in Mexico, the
gallant veteran, Gen. William O. Butler, arrived
yesterday in the steamer Fanny, and was received
with a salute from the Battalion of Artillery. A,
soon as it was known that the General was read,
to receive his friends, a crowd of our citizens ca
gerry poured into the paror of the ST. Charles, rt
greet and welcome the universally admired chief
whose name and reputation associated with thu
glorious deeds that have rendered our city mmor
tai. The General received his friends with the mos
cordial and graceful welcome. Ills manner ant
person are very striking, and strongly remind one
Of Gen Jackson, who in his day had no superio
in this or any other country, in empressemeni
ease, warmth, and even elegance Of manner. Gen
Butler stands erect and straight, his head bein!
thrown back with bold and candid expression
His eye IS keen and very bright, bn. with its dar
ing there is mingled mId and benevolent ex
preston, indicative Of the kind and tender as wei
as the firm and intrepid character of the man. -
The carriage Of the General is that Of gentleman
of military precision and bearing, soliened ant
modified by that ease and polish which much in
tercourse with The world, and cultivation of al
the duties of hospitality are calculated to lmpart
There is an of.handedness and readiness in the
Generals responses to The welcomes and compIi
ments Of his friends which are very impressive
and pleasing.
We were very much interested by little Incl
dent that occurred during the Generals evee
which we may relate, we trust, without violating
our neutrality. A sturdy mechanic who was in
uoduced to the General graspug his hand will
the vlSor of party devotion added 10 the (trvor o
personal admiration, and looking inlenlly into the
Generals bright eyes, remarked in strong voice
General you have come home to give up the
command Of The greatest army in the world only
TO take The Vice Presidency Of the greatest nation
in the world" The General blushed and remarked
that his friend certainly did not underestimate the
honorS referred TO, but he had no doubt he looked
with too hntterIng view upon his merits aud
qualifications. o. Delta.

M0NTEZUMA M0GGS.
THAT WAS TO BE.
BY THE LATE JOSEPH C. NEAL.

Snow, Moggs-you Moggs-good Moggs
dear Moggs," said his wife, running
through the chromatic scale of matrimonial
address, and modulating her words and her
tones from irritation into tenderness-syes,
Moggs-that's a good SOUL do wish for
once you would try to be a little useful 10
your family. Stay at home to-day, Moggs,
can't you, while | do the washing 1t would
be SO pleasant, Moggs-so like old times, TO
hear you whistling at your work, while | am
busy at mine"
And a smile Of affection stole across the
countenance of Mrs. Moggs, like a stray
sunbeam on a cloudy day, breaking up the
sharp and fixed lines of care into which her
features had settled as habitual expression,
and causing her also to look as she did in the
sold times" to which ehe now SO kindly re-
ferTed.
"Wont you, Moggsl" added she, laying
her hand upon his shoulder, sit would be so
pleasant, dear-wouldn't it! | shodld not
mind hard work, Moggs, if you were at work
near me-"
There was a tear, perhaps, twinkling in
the eye of the wife, giving gentleness to the
hard, stony look which she in general wore.
caused by those unceasing troubles of her
existence that leave no time for weeping
Perpetual struggle hardens the heart and
dries up the source of tears.
"Wont you, Moggsl"
The idea of combined effort was a pleas
ant family picture to Mrs. Moggs, though i
did involve not a little of toll. Still, to he
loneliness 1t was a pleasant picture, accus
toned as she had been to strive alone, an,
continually, to support existence. But
seems that perceptions of the pleasant and O
the picturesque in such matters, differ essen
tally; and Moggs, g%lancing through tn
sentimental, and beyond it, felt determined
as he always did, to avoid the trouble whic
il threatened.
"Can't be-" responded Moggs, slight
Smuggling his shoulder, as hint 10 his vii

The Prisoners Friend.

The third volume of the PRISONERS
FRIEND commences with the year 1913
We have now greatly extended lis dlmen-
sions, and hope otherwise TO improve It's at
fractions and usefulness. The price Will be
enhanced fifty cents, bringing 1t at two dol
lars per annum. The present valuable con.
tributors to its columns, we are assured, VIII
continue their %favors, and we hope to be abe
10 enrich the publication, and TO promote Inc
cause to which it is devoted, with the pro-
ductions of other pens equally gifted.
We are most happy to be able to inform
our readers, that we have made arrangements
with EDMUND Quincy, MARY A. LlvERMoRE'
and D.. X. LEE, TO become regular coniriou-
tors.
Every effort will he made to make It wOr-
thy to rank with the leading journals OF tho
day, and every way deserving OF the attrac-
tive title which it bears. No sentiments OF
an immoral tendency will be admitted, 80
tina, it will be rendered an acceptable
FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
To render the articles attractive, it Is in
tended to present, occasionally,
APPROPRIATE ENGRAvINGS.
As we are opening a correspondence a.
broad, we shall present many valuable arii-
cles from
THE BEST FOREIGN WRITER'S.
To render the periodical still more %interes-
ting, especially TO those who take no other
paper, we shall give more space TO the
NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Such is a sketch of our general plan. How
many of our old friends will continue their
support, we know not. We hope not TO miss
a single name. On the contrary, will you
not rather induce others to join with you'-
The prisoner cannot aid US. OF course, our
enemies will not. To our friends, therefore,
we look for aid in carrying forward, to its
final consummation, this great and benevo-
lent movement. We ask you TO circulate
this among your friends, and forward TO us
such sums as you may receive, either as sub
criptions to the paper, or donations 10 the
cause. Shall not the PRIsoNRR's FRIEND
find a generous support! Ifyou do no more,
send 81 for six months Of the new volume,
which commences with the year 1913.
1t is confidently believed that no person
here have equal facilities for conducting a Pc
riodical of this character.
DONATIONS IN AID OF THE CAUSE.
We not only desire to extensively c~irclate
the Prisoners Friend, with a view of chan
ging the public sentiment respecting the
treatment of the criminal, but we are anx-
ious, also, to employ Lecturers, especially
during the present winter, while the Legis-
latures are in session; also to circulate Petit
tons and Tracts, to visit Prisons, and to aid
Prisoners to return home to their families,
or TO obtain an honest living when dischar-
ged.
We wish now to raise the sum Of FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS, TO promote these objects.
Kind reader, will you give your part of ite

POETRY
Death on The Pale Horse.
"a painting by DunlaP.)
BY IANEs KeNXARp, JR.

Nor thus, not thus, should Death bo shown,
With fearful form and conntenance,
With writing serpent following on,
With hope-annihiIating glance;
With all that's whitening to the heart,
And all that's hideous to the eye,
With hands from which pale lightnings dart,
With all that tends to terrify
Not thus should Death, our kindest friend,
To mortal view be bodied forth
Death-in whose bosom is an end
10 all the sin and woe Of earth.
Oh It's a heather Gu stom-this-
From which all Christians should be wean-
ed;
The friend who ushers US to bliss
Should not be painted as a fiend.
Around Gods throne in heaven above,
Death was the mildest of the throng
His heart most filled with holy love,
In warmth and charity most strong
For angels differ in their frame
Like men, and not to all are given
A mind and heart in each the same;
Thus all are not alike in heaven.
When God ordained mans destiny,
To Death the blessed task was given
Of setting care-worn spirits free
OF ushering souls from Earth to Heaven.
As downward on this blest employ
He darted, on his ~pinions bright,
How thrilled his heart with holy Joy!
How beamed his countenance with light
And ever since that blessed hour
Has Death watched DER each child of clay
AS bends above her darling flower
A tender girl, from day to day;
Till when the bud appears-the germ
Long-wished-and opes into a blossom,
She plucks it from its native stem,
And places it upon her bosom.
Thus tenderly Death watches over
Each struggling spirit shrined in clay,
Till, at the m Indate of Jehovah,
He bears the ripened soul away
The bond, the free, the high, the low.
Alike are objects of his love;
And though he sewers hearts below,
File joins them evermor above.
| have a picture in my eye -
A touchdown captive drags his chain
Along his dungeon mournfully,
And writhes and groans In bitter pain
But suddenly the walls are burst,
There rushes in unwonted light;
Dazzled and blind, he shrinks, al first,
From his deliverer, with alright.
And not until his prison wall
Is left, although unwillingly
Nor till his CALLING letters fall,
And leave the Iong-bound prisoner free;
And not until his quailing eye
Is s,rengthcned-ean his gaze embrace
The look of calm benignity
That beams from his deliverer's face,
And this is Death ! oh, paint him not
AS yonder canvass shows him forth
Death, who removes US from "A spot
SO full of sin and woe as Earth
Oh It's a heather custom-this-
From which all Christians should be wean-
ed;
The friend who ushers US to bliss
Should not be PAINTED as a fiend.

Rum N GUNPowDER.-A late number of
the Sandwich Island News contains an arti-
Gle upon the present condition of the native
people of that Is paradise of the Pacific" from
which we learn that their intercourse with
Christian nations has been the chief cause of
their decentralization; and not only this, but
that the diseases which were engendered by
their promiscuous intercourse with white men
threatens the entire extinction Of the whole
race. Considering that these islands have
been the field upon which missionary socie-
ties in Europe and America have concentrat-
ed their efforts, these facts are far from en-
couraging. The cause of the evil, however,
has been, not so much from the want of zeal
in the missionaries as from the circumstance
that the very vessels in whose cabins the mis-
sionaries were carried, were freighted with
gun-powder and rum from the stofehouses of
men who profess to be Christians, and who
will, dealing out the liquid poison to the de-
luded pagans, endeavor to quiet their con-
sciences, and "keep a running, charity ac-
count with heaven" by bestowing a small
part Of their ill-gotten gains upon the "Amer-
lean Board - Christian Citizen.

GLORIOUS WAR.-If poetry is to be believ-
ed, death on the battle field is the most desi-
rable of all modes of being dismissed from
this world. We are told of the halo of glory
that surrounds the tomb of the fallen warrior,
of the tears of a nation which bedew it, of the
sacredness OF the spot where his bones repose.
Wien we look at the fact Invested of this
glittering haze of fiction, it has a very differ
ent aspect, illustrated by the following state
ment from an English paper. Millions of
human bones, says the writer, nave been
transported from the Continent to Hull for
agricultural purposes. These, which were
collected on the plains of Leipsic, Austerlltz
and Waterloo, were the bones of the bold,
the brave, and the chivalrous, who fell fight
ing their country's battles. With them were
mixed the bones of the horses, and both were
ground to dust, sent to Doncaster, and sold
for manure !-Presb.
