CHAPTER ]


Deep night in New York! Night to the high
and lowy--the vicious and the wretched-to
all it was deep night!--The gaslamps threw a
pale and almost sickly light upon the now vaca-
ted streets-for it was deep night Now and
then vgilant watchman crawled out of his fa-
vorite drinking saloon, though not very often,
to see that nobody had carried of the city,
(Hhe author intends this as joke, and the
reader is requested to laugh
In fashionable saloon on Five Points, in a
stall sat two men. One was Count Alfred de
Flunkey--the other, Henry Podgers, son of old
Podgers, a wealthy and retired clam merchant.
The Count de Flunkey was apparetly about
twenty eight years old lie was dressed in ar
NOR, wore military cap with feathers, and his
feet enclosed in Russet boots. His companion,
Podgers, was about nineteen years old. He
wore new suit ofready made clothing white
hat, cloth pumps, and, in word, his appearance
spoke a man Of fashion. The ordinarily hand
some and ingenious countenance of the Count
dc Funkey was now covered with frown.-
He was distracted. At length bringing his
clenched fist down on the table with tremendous
force, the Count cried:
!"By Heavens, Sary Tompkins must be mine!
olwithout, therel Bring ten cents worth oI
gin!'', e s. Il.
The gin was brought.
1t was drank! 'y'
And the Count telling the ar-keeper to
'charge it left the saloon, arm in arm with his
friend, the young and accomplished Podgers.

Two O'Clock i'm the Morning.
BY W. E. PABoR.

Miss Kitty on the sofa sat
With Harry vune, and close at that;
When 10! the clock gave warning!
And Kitty suid' "oh, deary me,
1t cannot be it cannot be,
Two O'Clock in the lnorning!''
Without, the white moon watcl ed the earth;
Within, the red fire danced with mirth;
The lovers checks ndorning
With glow made crimson by the press
Their lips had made, in sweet caress,
Attwo O'Clock IN the morning.
Twill not tell what words were said;
lIow Harry's heart held Ktty's hoad,
t. Parental caution scorning,
l only know singular sound
The cosy chamber walls went round,
AT two o'clock in tbs morning. ~,
And thus it was so twill be;
Such scenes the pensive moon will ZEE,
And mantel clocks give warning,
The logging outh and loving maid,
Who have the parting hour delayed,
Til two O'Clock in the orning.

Soathern men who use this lsnglnge-the L.
thern presses which reproduce it, are the worse
possible enemies not Of the Union only, but Of
their own people; and IN the name Of that
American nationality which i've all love and re-
we're, we call upon the sensible candid and lar
seeing citizens of the South ID coriie E6rward
and silence these Als6 PROPHETS who misrepre-
sent them before the world, and are deluding
theri to their destruction. -

THE GREAT HARVESTER.

There Is a harvester brave and bold,
Who haryests in many lands,
And all hi, help in tho harvest time
Is the help of his two white hands;
His two white hands, as soft and white
AS the winters driven snow,
Yet ever he brings his harvest home
To his gardener down below.
Sickle and cradle, and swinging scythe,
Allare the same to him,
And steady he goes from field to field
Btroking his grey beard grim,
Suoking his beard as he clips the grain,
Binding it up in shelves,
And pity the cleaner who thinks to thrive
On the grain that harvester leaves.
Death Is the harvester brave and bold
Who harvests in many lands,
And life is the grain he cuts and sheaves
With the help of his two white hands.
The tender grain is the crodle's share
TIE child in the lap o. time
The sickle gathers the age.ripe stalks,
The scythe is for manhoods prime.
GsDtlythe childhood field is clipt;
And softly the age ripe grain,
But the bearded stalks of manhood's prime
Bend to the scythe in pain.
By quiet hearts and O'er beds Of down
The harvester's sr1iath ID cast,
And many blood.red field he reups
10 the song of the battles blast.
Over the earth and the sea he goes
That harvester bold and brave
Nor ever shall rest while grain is left
For HE garner, the clay cold grav ..

Thus adjured, John, who was not of an un-

his subscriber to get his hand in his pocket.
The latter actually drew forth his purse, toun-
ted out two dollars in silver, gave his address,
took his receipt and was released
Take a drink? said the agent
Yes, responded the victim.
So they drank together, and John, at east
was in excellent humOr.

Yes, was the response.

Yes, said the subscriber.
And you'll remember it to your friends.
Yes, groaned the victim.
Good day, then, said John, smiling blandly

we were pleased 10 observe, and was highly cred

the good fortune to receive. The speaking and
singing was uncommonly good and in the dia-

in manner that is hard to be exceled. We in

commend our citizens who wish to spend pleas
