The Old Thirteen States.

God bless the good old thirteen States,
God bless the young ones, too,
Who cares for musty birth day dates
God bless them, old and new.
The old ones first our freedom gained,
In bloody fights of yore
The young ones have their rights maintained
As the old ones did before.
OF South, or North, or East, or West,
Twin sisters all they be !;
The mother nursed them at her breast,
And that was LIBERTY.
And may the wretch whose hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread,
Be scorned while in this world alive,
And scorned when he is dead
Now, fill the bowl with Natures wine,
Let's drink God save the King"
The only King by right divine,
The Sovereign People King;
For they're the only King own,
All others l despise,
But God that reigns on heavens throne,
The King that never dies.
Oh ! may that sceptre wide extend
Der every land and sea,
Without beginning, without end,
And conquer to set free
Till freedoms banner stands alone,
A beacon in the sky,
And no other Lord shall own,
But he who rules on high.

From vol. III of" Thirty Years in the Senate"
"The regular Inauguration Of this
slavery agitation dates from the year 49,
80 but it had commenced two years be-
fore, and in this way nulliication and
disunion had commenced in 1880 upon
complaint against protective tariff. That,
being put down in 1888 under President
Jackson's proclamation and energetic
measures, was Immediately substituted
by the slavery agitation. Mr.. Calhoun.
when he went home from Congress in
the spring of that year, told his friends
"Mat tie South could neper be united
against the NORTH on tie tariff question
that the sugar interest of Louisiana pould
keep her out-and that the basis of South
ern union naastbe shifted TO The slave ques-
ton" Then all the papers in his inter

on slavery, and in two years had the az

very question. And, in tracing this
agitation to its present stage. and to com.
prehend It's rationale, il is no. to be for

A Chinese Wizard...Entraordin Jug.
Cling Feats.

A correspondent Of the London Times
gives the following account of the feats Of
a juggler in the streets of Pekin:
He first of all spoke for about five
minutes with all the volubility of Chas.
Matthews, evidently saying something
witty, for the people round laughed
heartily. In the middle of his harangue,
however, he was seized with fit Of cho.

something out of his throat, drew forth a
little slip of bamboo, like Lisbon tooth.

sneezed, and out they came from his
nostrils, then from his eyes, until he
completed the number of thirty seven. by
making one appear halfway out Of each
oriice at the same time, and threw the
lot on the ground for any one to exam
inc.
He next took three glass balls, about
an inch in diameter, and placed them
singly between his lips, sucked them in
to his mouth and swallowed first a red
one, then blue, and last of all a white
one. Here was little interlude Of tooth
picks and talking. after which he walked
gravely round the ring, stopping four
times /; each time he gave himselfa shake
and jump, when the balls were distinct
ly heard to jingle inside of him. On
completing his round, after several eff
forts, he spat the balls out on the ground
in the same order he had swallowed them
the red first, the white last. He then
took two more balls, one Of polished
steel about the size Of a hens egg, and
another of glass, the same size. These
he first let fall on the ground to show
they were solid then, placing them be-
tween his lips swallowed them like the
smaller ones. but with great difficulty, i,
swelling in the throat rs it went down /;
here more toothpicks and talking, while
he prepared two swords, about an inch
wide and twenty long, very like polished
hoop iron, clashed them together to show
that they were real, and passed both
down his throat at once, until they
struck the balls with an audible click
Withdrawing these he placed his hands
behind him, and after several apparently
painful trials, each ball rose in his throat,
and fell from his mouth to the ground
with a heavy thump.

On the surface of two square miles ii
was ascertained that $4,000 men and
horses were lying! The luxurious crop
of ripe grain which had covered the field
Of battle was reduced to litter and beat
en- into the earth, and the surface trod-
den down by the cavalry and furrowed
deeply by the cannon, strewd with many
relic of the fight. Helmets and cui-
rasses. shattered fire arms and broken
swords all the variety OF military orna-
ments, lancer caps and Highland bon
nets /; uniforms of every color, plumes
and pennons /; musical instruments, the
apparatus of artillery. drums bugles
but, good God |! why dwell on the har-
rowing picture of a foughten field ?
Each and every ruinous display bore
mute testimony to the misery of such a
battle. Could the melancholy appear
ance of this scene ofdeath be heightened,
it would be by witnessing the researches
of the living, amid its desolation, for the
object of their love. Mothers, and wives
and children, for days were occupied in
that mournful duty and the confusion
of the corpses-friend and foe intermin-
gled as they were-often rendered the
attempt at recognizing individuals diff
cult, and sometimes impossible.
In many places the dead lay four deep
upon each other, marking the spot where
some British square had occupied, ex-
posed for hours to the murderous fire OF
French battery. Outside, lancer and
chasseur were scattered thickly on the
earth. Madly attempting to force the
serried bayonets of tho British, they had
fallen in bootless essay by the musketry
of the inner files. Farther on you trace
the spot where the cavalry of France
and England had encountered and the
heavy Norman horses of the imperial
guard were interspersed with the gay
chargers which had carried Albion 5
chivalry. Here the Highlander and
trsilleur lay side by side, together. and
the heavy dragoon, with green Erin's
badge upon their helmet, was graphing
in death with the Polish lancer.
u
On the summit Of the ridge, where the
ground was numbered with the dead and
trodden fetlock deep in the mud and gore
by the frequent rush of rival cavalry.
the thick strewn corpses of the imperial
guard pointed out the spot where Napo-
leon had been defeated. Here, in column,
that favored corps, on whom his last
chance rested, had been annihilated and
the advance and repulse of the guard
was traceable to mass Of fallen French
men. In the hollow, the last struggle of
France had been vainly made; for there
the old guard attempted to meet the
British and afford time to their disorgan-
lied companions to rally.

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain
But when youth, the dream, departs
1t takes something from our hearts.
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, we are better.
Under manhood's sterner reign:
Still we feel that something sweet,
Followed us with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful has vanished.
And We sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.
