Little Deeds.
These stanzas convey so sweetly, q lesson sc
, ! important that we are sure at least, some little
heart will be glad to see them again:
"What if the little rain shouli say
so NAL a drop as
Can ne'er refresh the thirsty plain,
I'll tarry in the sky"
What if a shining beam of noon
Should in its fountain stay,
Because its feeble light alone
Cannot create o day?
Doth not each rain. drop help to form
The cool refreshing shower?
And every ray of light to warm
And beautify the flower"
Book-Items.
Worcester's Illustrated quarto Dictionary of
English-the best one in the language, we think
has reached its twenty-ffth edition, in six
months. A success unparalleled in so grave a
book. 1t deserves it. Everybody ought to have
a copy.
Harry Flash of Mobile has a volume of poems
in the press of Rudi and Carleton, Of New York.
1t will be out about the middle of August.
Morris in Blue and Gold is just ont by Scrib-
ner. '.When other friends are round thee"
"Woodman, spare that tree" and "Near the
Lake where dropped the Willow" have endeared
the name of Morris to many a heart. All piano.
dom is musical with his songs. We like Morris
and consider him "America's best song-writer,"
by far.
The Secession OF Judge Longstreet.
Our readers are already aware that the United
States was to be represented in the Information
al Statistical Congress by Judge Longstreet, IN
der appointment by President Buchanan.
The congress was organized. His Royal High
ness Prince Albert opened the session with an
address. Lord Brougham then spoke. Mr..
Dallas, the American Minister to England, was
present by courtesy. DR.. Delany, a. delegate
from Canada, q negro, was also present. Dur
ing Lord Brougham's speech, he turned to the
American Minister and said:-
i call the attention of Mr.. Dallas to the fact
that there is a negro present; and hope he will
feel no scruples on that account
Whereupon the house applauded.
Whereupon DR.. Delany, the "gentleman in
black" jumped up and said -
81 thank his Royal Highness and your Lord
ship, and have only to say MatI am a man."
Whereupon the house applauded.
Whereupon Judge Longstreet withdrew from
the Congress.
Mr.. Dallas maintained a dignifed silence.
Judge Longstreet wrote a letter "To the Pub
lic,' in which he took the ground that Lord
Brougham's remark was a reflection upon the
peculiar institution, and therein an insult to the
United States in the official person of the dele
gate, and therefore required the notice he had
taken of it.
But, in the meantime, while the Judges letter
was being written, Lord Brougham explained
his ill timed remark before the Congress, dis
avowing "any intention to show any disrespect
to the American Minister or the United States
Th1s apology was thought sufficient.
Judge Longstreet finds himself, as he phrases
it, 'in a very ticklish predicament." He finds
that. though his Lordship on his part has made
the amende, the applause with which the offensive
remarks were received, renders his return to the
Congress impossible. He publishes the letter
''To the Public" and another Introductory one
to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.
These letters explain the Judges course, de-
fend it, cut right and left-effectively too-at
the English, and contain many a well put thrust
at false philanthropy that will strike home.
Judge Longstreet left the International Sta.
~tist:cal Congress, left London, left England, left
Europe-all, as he phrases it, '~'forever and for
ever"
Such is the Secession of Judge Longstreet.
The lines seem to be favorable to that style of
thing. 1t is the order of the day.
Judge Longstreet will soon be in our midst
again, and will doubtless publish something to
our own people.
We shall make a note of it then.
