THE FIRE OF DRIFT-WOOD.
BY HENRY w. LoNGFELLow.

BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLOw.
We sat within the farmhouse old,
Whose windows, looking DER the bav,
Gave to the sea-breeze, damp and cold,
An easy entrance, night and day.
Not far away we saw the port
The strange, old-fashioned, silent town.
The lighthouse, the dismantled fort
The wooden houses, quaint and brown.
We sat and talked until the night
Descending filled the little room;
Our faces faded from the sight
Our voices only broke the gloom.
We spake of many vanished scene,
Of what we once had thought and said,
Ofwhat had been, and might have been,
And who was changed, and who was dead;
And all that fills the hearts of friends,
When first they feel, with secret pain,
Their lives thencetorth have separate ends,
And never can be one again;
The first slight swervng Of the heart,
That words are powerless to express,
And leave it still unSaid in Fart,
Or say it in too great excess.
The very tones in which we spalse
Had something strange, could but mark
The leaves Of memory seemed TO make
\ mournful rustling in the dark.
Oft died the words upon our lips,
As suddenly, from out the fire
Built of the wreck of stranded ships,
The flames would leap, and then expire.
And, as their splcndor flashed and failed,
We thought of wrecks upon the main,-
Of ships diSmantled, that were hailed,
And sent no answer back again.
The windows rafting in their frames,
The ocean, roaring up the beach
The gusty blast-the pickering flames
All mingled vaguely in our speech;
Until they made themselves part
Of fancies floating through the brain
The long-!ost vesturcs Of the heart,
That send no answer back again.
o flames that glowed! o hearts that yearned
They were indeed too much akin
The drift-wood fire without that burned,
The thoughts that burned and glowed within

EMPLOYMENT OF EvENINGs.-It is ques-
ton Of great importance, especially 10 young
men, How do you spend your evenings?
II you have no regular employment, no fixed
pursuits 10 engross your attention and ope-
rate as stimulus TO The mind when unem-
ployed, you must of necessity have many leis-
IRE and unoccupIed hours: intervals when
time will hang heavily on your hands and
suggest the necessity Of some means 10 re-
lieve it of its weight. The very time which
is dissipaied in idleness, would, if devoted TO
study enable many young man 10 obtain
emlnenee and distinction in some useful art.

A REPLY TO A CHALLENGE. One OF
the best replies ever made to a challenge
was that made by Wilkes, when he was
challenged by Horne Tooke.
Sir, L do not think it my business to
cut the throat of every desperate that

present high sheriff for the city of Lon

ssSee what blaze aJlitde fire kindleth !" The
Satanp into the general appropriation bill an item
t1o.Oo0. 10 removal of distractions in the Sa-
vAnnsi river, has been the occasion OF three days
&c a. In the House of Representatives. The de-
nocrsts even vote against the ball, fearing that it
would be vetoed by the President it containing an
ontcnal improve ncDt item; and il was rejected on
this account, with the assistance of wing votes,
bu, for different reason. To-day, however, the
wings dare the President TO veto the bill. IL has
70 60 TO the Senate, however, where the obJec-
boDsble appropriation will be stricken out.
Perhaps no people on earth are more cursed with
shinJsf ts ~ han II citv and district. Even two
tooA ministers issue them, the business being
profitable. IL Ia true that there Is a law OF Con-
grcee against the circulation OF the trash but, as

and give th sc shinl asters they could not, ac-
eordauce with the charge OF Judge Crawford, find
q true bill TO suppress the nuisance million and
q half dollars are paid out annually In Washington
to lie President. heods OF department, clerks Off
cese OF the army and navy, members of Congress-
and Others. million OF this amount IS probably
extended here. instead of having metal change
below the denomination Of five dollars, we have
theee paper fungi, which may create disease and
death among us. In vain have sought reme-
dy--it cannot be found and therefore, we have to
ask your aid, as matter OF humanity and justice.
