An TNsEEMLY ORGAN.-In small
church at a little village near Brighton,
where the congregation could not af-
ford to pay an organist, they recently
bought self-acting organ, compact
instrument, well to the purpose, and
constructed to play forty different tunes.
The sexton had instructions how to
set it going, and how to stop it; but
unfortunately he forgot the latter part
OF his business, and after singing the
first four verses of hymn before SER
mon, the organ could not be stopped,
but continued playing two verses more,
then just as the clergyman completed
the words, ''let us pray,' the organ
clicked, and started fresh tune. The
minister sat it ont patiently, and then
renewed bis introductory words, ''let
us pray" when click went the organ
again, and started off on another tune.
The sexton and others continued their
exertions to find out the spring, but no
man could put stop to 1t; SO they go;
four of the stoutest men in the church
to shoulder the peverse instrument, and
they carried it out down the center
aisle Of the church, playing away, int9

delightful revery. True, the scene was
slightly changed. At the angle in the

Improvement had done that. The
barn looked dilapidated; a few of the
doors hung upon one hinge, and the

simply as friends. We shut our love
up in our souls; we laid it away like
some holy memery. Each doubted the
others truth, and neither would make
advances toward a reconciliation.
We at last became wholly estrsnged.
For five long years we walked iE 'litfer.

It was the old story. Others had in.

Transmigration of Souls.

The New York correspondent of a
western paper tells the following story
for the benefit of some hard cases.
He says he once knew a man by the
name Of Reed, commonly known as
"Old Reed" Reed was quite notori-
Gus in his way. and his religious belief
was that after his death he would re-
appear in the form of an animal, and
that he would be horse. Now sold
Reed" was a hard man, and was not
in the habit of treating his family as a
religious man should. One day after
his wife had suffered his abuse as long
as humanity could endure, she conclu-
ded to give him brief talking to-to
touch upon his religious belief. So
resolutely seating himself by his side,
and looking him in the face, while a
tear drop glistened in her eye--for she
was serious AID thoughtful as if he
was correct in his faith-she COM
menced: "Reed, / wish to have a
serious talk with you; I have some.
thing to. say to you, and you must hear
it. have a duty to perform, and l

hereafter, it will not be my fault. You
believe, Reed, that when you die you
will turn into some animal, and you
think you will be a horse.
"Now if yoa keep in your course,
and continue to neglect and abuse your
family, squandering your money for
drink and at the gambling table, when
you die you will turn into some old
twelve shilling horse, and some dirty
clam peddler will get you, and you
will be worked and half starved, and
I shall see you every day before a
rickety old wagon filed with CLANS
Such will be your eternity? But now,
Reed, it needn't be SO; yonr eternity
may be a high and happy one. II you
will reform and turn about and become
a better man-be kind and afectionate
to your family, and treat them as
christian should, why when you die you
will turn into a five hundred dollar
horse, and some West End buck will

Amusing Dialogue.

a very entertaining dialogue occurred
a few days ago in the Governors Of
flee between Governor johnson and
two ladies Of this city, who came to
complain Of the occupation Of resi-
dence belonging to rebel husband of
one Of the ladies by a o. S. officer.
The conversation was as follows:
Lady; think it is too dreadful for
a woman in my lonesome condition to
have her property exposed to injury
and destruction.
Governor Well, Madam, ] will in
quire into the matter, and if any injus-
tice has been done, | will have it cor
rected. But your husband, you admit
has gone off with the rebels, and yon
have abandoned your dwelling.
L. My husband went off south be-
cause it was to his interest to do So.
You must not find fault with anybody
for taking care of himself these hard
times. You know, Governor, that all
things are justiiable in war.
G. Well, Madam, it appears to me
that this broad rule Of yours will Justify
the taking possession of your house.
According to your maxim, l don't see
any good reason for helping you out Of
your difficulty.
L. Oh! but then / don't mean in
that way.
G. No, Madam I suppose not. I
will try to be more generous to you
than your own rule would make me. ]
do not believe your rule that "all things
are justiGable in wars But it is just
what you rebels Insist upon. 1t is per-
fectiy right and proper for you to vio-
late the laws to destroy the govern
ment, but it is all wrong for us to exc
cute the laws and to maintain the gov
ernment. ae..ss --
The rebel ladies looked around i'll
various directions and seemed to think
that they had opened a knotty argu-
ment on a dangerous subject, with a
very hard adversary. Heaving long
sigh, they retired, to become, we
earnestly hope, "wiser and betterme,a.' y

DoN'r EAT GREEN PoTAToEs. The
shoots Of potatoes exposed to light
contain sozo,suns-a powerful poison.
The tubers of potatoes which are
covered with earth from the light con-
tain this poison, but If exposed when
growing they become green on the skiu,
Which IS sign that this poison has
heen developed in them. On no sc-
count should green potatoes be given
to persons or animals.

The following affecting little illustration

ldents of language and our military friend
. I'm standing in the mud, Biddy,
With not spalpeen near,
And silence, spacheless as the grave,
Is all the sound l hear.
Ne goon is at showlder arms.
Pm wetted to the bone,
And whin I'm afther shpakin cut,
find meself alone.
The Southern climates quare, Biddy,
A quare and bastely thing,
Wild winter absint all the year,
And summer in the spring.
Ye mind the hot place down below?
And may ye niver fear
I'd dthraw eomparisons-but thin
It's awful warrum here.
The only moon 1 see, Biddy,
Is one small star, ashore,
And that's forninst the very cloud
1t was behind before;
The watchfres glame along the hill
That's swellin' to the south,
And whin the sentry passes them,
see his oogly mouth.
It's dead for shape am, Biddy,
And dhramin shwate I'd be,
If them ould rebels over there
Would only lave me free;
But whin lane aginst shtump.
And shtrive to git repose,
A musket ball be's comm shtraight
10 hit me spacious nose.
It's We I'd like to see, Biddy,
A shparkin here wild me,
And thin, avourueen, hear you say,
'Acushla-Pat-mac !"
"Och, Biddy, darlin ;" thin says L;
Says you, Cit out ov that |"
Says |, Me arrum mates yer waist; :"
Says you, "Be daycent, Pat!'
And how's the pigs and ducks, Biddy?
It's them | think of, shure,
That looked so innocent and swate
Upon the parlor fure:
Pm shure ye're aisy with the pig
That's fat as he can be,
And fade him wild the best, bekase
T'Rl tould he looks like me.
Whin I come home agin, Biddy,
A sargent thred and thrue,
It's ioost a daycent house Pll build,
And rint it chape to you.
Well have parlor, bedroom, hall,
g. And duck pond, nate,y done,
With Eiches, pig-pen, praty patch,
Aud garret-all in one.
But, murther! there's baste, Biddy,
That's crapin round a three,
And well | know the craytsr's there
TO have shot at me.
Now, MiSther Rebel, say yer pray'rs,
And .howld yer dirthy paw;
Here goes be jabers, Biddy dear,
I've broke his oogly jaw.

The Cincinnati Gazette of last evening
says with regard to matters in Kentucky
" that the question is not, viii the rebels
attack Cincinnati or Louisville but will
the Union Generals succeed in bagging
them7 So far as attacking either of the
two Ohio river cities is concerned, tits safe
to say that the time for an attempt, even,
has passed, while it may be said that the
time for driving the rebels has arrived
Every day lost, hereafter. by delay, must
prove 6 severe loss to the Union cause in
Kentucky. The most vigorous measures
are to be expected. Buell. crossed the riv-
er yesterday, and reached Louisville last
night The position Of his army, it would
not be proper to state. Bragg is reported
to be in the neighbOrhOOd of Bardstown-
The arrival of General Morgan at Rich
mond is confirmed On the line of the
Central Railroad the rebels are not in force
this aide Of Paris. Louisville is again
quiet The woman and children who
were driven from their homes by a mill
tary panic, may return, feeling that the
city is safe; although Bragg is quite as
near to the river as when they we're or
dered to leave"

According to the State Journal, there is
great cause of complaint with regardtO to the
manner in which the parOled prisoners at
Camp Chase are treated. There are about
three hundred of fthem there now, more than
that number having skedaddled since their
arrival They are filthy and ragged, and
totally uneonciOus Of ownership to any
property they can get their hands on. They
are under no regulations or discipline, and
the sick among them are generally left to
look out for themselves, lying on the hard
ground or floor in the hot sun. When
they apply for medicines they are informed
that there are no regulations for supplying
it too them. Their special plea is to be
sent to the States 10 which they belong IN
till exchanged. State authorities have no
jurisdiction over Camp Chase, and hence
the wrongs complained of can only be cor
rected by the United States authorities.
The disgrace should be corrected.
