MEMORY AND HOPE,

On at the hour when evening throws
Its gAthring shades Der hill and dale,
While half the scene in twilight glows,
And half in sunlight glories still;
The thought Of ell that We have been,
And hoped, and feared, on Life 8 long way
(Remembrances Of joy and pain
Come mingling with the close Of day.
But, soft DER each rsviying scene,
The chast' ming hues Of Memory spread;
And smiling each dark thought botwoSn,
Hope softens every tear we shed.
o, thus, when Deaths long night comes on,
And its dark shades around US lie,
May parting beams from Msmory's sun
Blend softly in our evening skyl

Now said the dying young soldier,

She did as she was requested, and the
poor young man laid down on them to

and joyful was he in dying. 1t was only

Moral SuaSiOn ON n Ram.

When friend of ours, whom We cal
Agricola, was a boy, he lived on farm
in Berkshire Co., the owner of which wa,
troubled BY his dog Wolf. The cur kill
ed his sheep, knowing perhaps, that his
master was conscientiously opposed tc
capital punishment, if he could devise
means to avoid it.
81 can break him oft" said Agricola,
''if you will give me leave"
.Thou art permitted, said the honest
farmer; and We will let Agricola tell the
story in his own words.
vt.There was a ram on the farm" sale
Agric6la, ''as notorious for butting as
Wolf was for sheep-killing, and who
stood in as much need of moral suason as
the dog. | shut Wolf i'll the barn with
this old fellow, and the consequence was
that the dog never looked sheep in the
face again. The ram broke every bone
in his body, Utterly. Wonderfully up
lifted was the ram aforesaid, by his ex-
plot; his insolence became intolerable, he
was sure to pitch in to whomsoever went
near him. TN fix him, said [, and SC
did. I rugged an iron crowbar out of a
hole in the barn, point foremost, hung an
old hat on the end of it. You can't al.
ways tell, when you see hat, whether
there is a head in it or not; how then,
should aram? Aries made at it full butt,
and being good marksman from long
practice, the bar broke in between his
horns, and came out under his tail. This
little admonition effectually cured him Of
butting."

IT is obvious that the war can not be
brought to successful issue by the men
who formed the radical wing of the late
Republican party. Unless they can fur
nish all the funds and do all the fighting,
they are not entitled to dictate the poll
cy of the war. Nor would they be, even
then, for the other citizens of the Loyal
States, who so far outnumbcr them, have
at least as great an interest in the coun.
try as they have, and as good right tc
have voice on the management Of the
war.-- IN. Y. World.

Rat story.

A naval officer says: 81 have always
felt some regard for u rat since my cruise
in the Constellation. We were fitting for
sea at Norfolk, and taking in water and
provisions; aplank was resting on the sill
of one of the ports which communicated
with the wharf. On bright moonlight
evening we discovered two rats on the
plank coming into the ship. The fore
most was leading the other by a straw,
one end of which each held in his mouth.
We managed to capture them both, and
found, to our surprise, that the one led by
the other was stone blind. His faithful
friend was trying to get him on board,
where he would be comfortable during a
three years cruise. We felt no dispo-
sition to kill either, and landed them on
the wharf. How many there are in this
world to whom the fidelity of that rat
readeth lssson.''

abundant weakness at the head OF our govern

ton, but in every place where operations are car

into everything that is done under his authori

Iion has undertaken the heaviest contract that
has fallen to the lot ofany national government
Of modern times, with, to all appearance. as lit
tie ability for its performance. 1t has collected
the means for its own protection, is securely en-.
trenched behind walls and hills crowned with
batteries, and there it lies, to all appearance un

thinking as little as possible of the vast and ac

and toward which events are hurrying with un.

w hat the Government wants Of the vast ar
ray of troops now upon the line Of the Potomac
is more than can be OWNED Surely an hun
dred thousand men is enough to defend the
Capital from even remote possibility OF cap
ture. There is to be 10 advance upon Rich
mond from that quarter, as all perSors, military
and non military, agree, The thing is simply
impossible. and Richml nd is az sale from any
advance upon it by land as New Orleans.
Why, then, II Kentucky is to be saved to the
Union, are not the troops that have been train d.
ed and disciplined, and reviewed, and found per-
feet under Gen. Mcclellan, and who long for
active service, sent in that direction? Why re
ly upon soldiers who fortnight ago were 6gu
ring in the walks of civil life, to do the work in
that State, when there are plenty of others?-
II General Mcclellan is simply to serve as drill
and parade master to the Government why not
send the raw recruits to him to be prepared for
service, and use those that have been through
the scnool,an have graduated under his instruc-
tons? There is work p eparing both in Ken
lucky and Missouri that will need men to do it,
and the sooner they are supplied the easier will
be the performance, and the sooner it will be
accom- lisbsd.
