The Reward.

VINO, looking backward hUm MS manhood's primo,
Sees not the spectre Of his misspent time;
And, through the shade sAt
Of funeral cypress. planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachfal whisper ON the wind
From his loved dead9
Who hears no trace Of passions evil force?
Who shuns thy sting, o terrible remorse?
Who would not cast F -
Half of his Future from him, but to win
Wakeless oblivion from the wrong and sin
Of the sealed Past?
Alas! the evil which we fan would shun,
We do, and leave tho wished-for good undone;
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrow's weakness, prone to fall,
Poor, blind, unproftable servants oil,
4.,asss i Are we Away.
Yet who, thus looking backward DER his years,
Feels not his eyelds wet with grateful tears,
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer and aid, In some ennoblng cause,
His fellow men?
If he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
A ray of sunshine to the cell Of sin;
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak, and, in the hour Of need,
Over the suffering mindless Of his creed
Or hue, hath bent.
He hath not lived in vain, and while he gives
The praise to Him in whom he moves and lives,
With thankful heart,
He gazes backward, and with hope before,
Knowing that from his works he never more
Can henceforth part.

Our FOREIGN PoLlcY.-Gov. Manning, Of South
Carolina, in his late message to the Legislature,
has laid down the following policy which should
govern our public counsels in regard to foreign
affairs:
As constituent part Of the American Confede-
rated Republic the existing aspect Of our foreign
relations is matter of deep interest and requires
from you watchfulness and solicitude. The laws
of comfy which regulate the intercourse of ma
tons, discreet and sound policy towards our
Selves and the good faith to be observed in main
tanning the terms of treaties, should make this ma
ton carefully avoid both the reality and appear
ancc of attempting, directly or indirectly to grasp
any portion Of foreign dominion Whatever can
be effected that is desirable for the country to
achieve, by open treaty, with distinct and sepa-
rate Power, is question Of policy alone, to which
there can be no objection; but beyond, this Gov
crnment has no right to 60, whether through the
agency of unlawful enterprises at home, or indis'
Greet and anomalous ministerial interference
abroad

New York ELECTION ScENE.-The New York
correspondent Of the Raleigh Register, says:
When the writer of this went quietly to the
polls, the other day, an uncouth German, with .
Jesuitical cast of countenance, started up, and
with strong Dutch accent, said, II shalenge
that shentleman's fote," when was thrust aside
as a suspicious and dshonorable character. Wait
ing until all the loafers in the room had voted,
was then arraigned by an Irish Inspector, and
called upon to answer number of interrSgatories:
"Shure, and are yer natif born in this comthreyl"
eyes" "Did yer come in this ward for the sake
of voting?" "No," (ersctus ad sidera) After a
few more questions Of like import, Pat became
fully satisfied, and had the kindness to administer
the OATH "Angels and ministers Of grace defend
us!" The most un- American and foreign loving
Locofoco editor would have felt the blood tingle n
every vein. We have had too much Of this, and
henceforth should have no more.

A HINT TO NEwLvNARRIED PERsoNs-A bride
groom requested his wife to accompany him into
the garden day or two after the wedding. He
then threw limo over the roof of their cottage
Giving his wife one end Of it he retreated to the
pulled at his request as far as she could. He cried
"Pull it over!" ~ can't" she replied. "Pull
with all your might" shouted the whimsical hus-
band. But in vain were all the efforts Of the
bride to pull over the line 20 long rs the husband
held on to the opposite end. But when he came
round, and they both pulled at one end, it came
over with ease. "There, said he, "you see how
in opposition to each other, but how easy and
pleasant it was when we both pulled together II
We oppose each other, it will be hard work II
we act together, it win be pleasant to live. Let
us, therefore, always pull together"

The late Judge Dooly, of Georgia, was remark
able for his wit; at one place where he attended
court, he was not well pleased with his entertain
ment at the tavern.
On the first day of the court hog under the
name of a pig, had been cooked whole and laid
upon the table, No person attacked it. 1t was
brought the next day, and the next day. and treat
cd with the same respect; and it was on the table
on the day on which the court adjourned
As the boarders finished their dinner, Judge
Dooly rose from the table, and in a solemn man.
ner addressed the Clerk.
"Mr. Clerk" said he, dismiss the hog upon
his recognzances until the first day of next court
He has attended SO faithfully during the past term,
that don't think it will be necessary to take any
security"
A Know NOrHNG.-Among the multitude oi
prisoners before the Police Court wasa "gemman
oh color" the honor of whose arrest none OF the
officers could or would claim.
"Who arrested your" asked the prosecuting
attorney.
~ doesn't know" was the reply.
"What was you doing, when arrested!"
~ doesn't know"
"Wasn't you drunk?"
"I doesn't know"
| "Well, what do you know" asked the city at
torney, somewhat impatiently. .,
"Me?" said the col0red gentleman, with an ali
Of importance, tine? why, kno'os mut.n!
Under these circumstances, the court dismisse'

THINGS We CAN'T SrAND.-We can't stand the
first floor lodger coming home in state Of inebri-
alton, and getting into our bed with his boots on.
We can't stand waiter always telling us he's
coming, and never doing it.
We can't stand a young lady with her hair done
up in newspaper advertisements
We can't stand an infatuated dramatist reading
us manuscripts Of his fve-act tragedy. -,
We can't stand baby dabbing his damp little
hand about our face while the mother stands by,
and remarks that the little dear is beginning to
stake notice."
We can't stand doctor telling us, in friendly
way, that our family were always noted for weak
chests.
There is maiden lady in Connecticut SO ex-
tremey nice in her notions of female modcsty, that
she turned off her woman because she put her
clothes in the same tub with those Of young
man! This is almost equal to the mOdesty Of the
lady who was ashamed to remove table-covcr for
fear of showing its legs.
PHYsIc MADE EAsY-During the past week,
says the Mobile Register Of q recent date, the
great supply Of oranges made that delicious fruit
perfect Drug drug in more ways than one

Among the Habancros all hillary complaints
are agreeaby and certainly cured by their staple
fruit for an orange eaten every morning at ar
