"SMALL LIEs."-H. W. Beecher, in a recent
sermon upon faithfuness in small things, said
do not know of any buyer that pays such prices
as the devil pays when be buys men. Here is
man who sells himself for one-eightb Of pound
of chicory in a pound of coffee He prepares
his commodity with lie and reiails 1t with
other lie. Every time man commits known
dishonesty, he sells his soul and thousands are
selling themselves by little driblets. And
think that man who sells himself thus cheats
himself No, he cheats the devil The devil
pays too much for him. l am informed that
before the communication system was abandoned
by the ferry company, men Of property and
standing in society would boldly declare that
they had a Communication ticket in their pocket
wheu they had none, for the sake OF going
through without paying They lied for one
cent? pity the devil do not know what he
does with such men. l. .s awful to be chief
magistrate of a parcel of men like these.
cannot understand how these exiguous, thrice
squeezed men can be managed m

A CONCERT OF MoNREYs.--We stopped our
boat one day for our accustomed midday rest in
the cool shade OF one of these stately forests,
where there was beautifully variegNted group
of hills, with tufts of timber and gRudy prairies
soping down to the river on the opposite shore.
Our men had fallen asleep, as usual, in the boat,
and ! said to my friend Smyth, who, with my
self was seated on top of the bank: d" How aw-
fully silent and dOleful it seems mot the sound
of a bird or cricket can be heard suppose we
have some music !" agreed " said Smythi
aud raising the old MIME, he fired it of over
the water Sam followed with three cracks, as
as fast as they could BIZ got of. The party in
the boat were all, OF COURSE upon their feet in
an instant, and we sat smiling at them. Then
the concert began-a hundred monkeys could
be heard chattering and bowling, treble, tenor,
and base, with flats and sharps, with semitones
and baritones and fasettos whilst five hundred
at least we're scratching, leaping, and yaulting
about amongst the branches, and gathering over
our heads, IN full view, TO take n peep at us.
We sat in an open space, that they might have
a full view of US, and we rose up to show our
selves at full length that their curiosity might
be fully gratifed. With my opera-gass, which
took from my pocket, brought all these little
inquisitive, bright eyed faces near enough to
shake hands, and had the most curious view oil
them. l never before knew the cleanliness, the
grace, and beauty of these wonderful creatures
until saw them in that way, in their native
element and unrestrained movements. Where
OF earth those creatures gathered from in so
sh ort u time, in such numbers, it was impossi-
Bile to conceive and they were still coming
Lik pigeons, they sat in rows upon the limos
anel even were in some places piled on each
9th er's backs, and all gazing at us. To give inc
mot lisitive multitude fair illustration, hred
another shot-and another and such scam
perit tg never saw before In half minute
ever, animal, and every trace and shadow o
them, were out of sight nor did they come neal

MIR. RussELL,s LAST LETTER.

The London Times of the 10th has letter
from Mr.. Russell, dated at Washington, March
10Th We quote:
To-day General Mcdowell reviewed his corps
d'armee, consisting Of upward of thirty thousand
infantry, sixtytwO guns, and few squadrons
Of cavalry, in the neigborhood OF Alexandria,
previous to their embarkaton on the great expet
diliou, destined, il is believed, to act agains-
Richmond. The Commander-in Chief Of tho
Army of the Potomac was, with his staff, upon
the ground, but did not take the salute, aud left
the command to General Mcdowell.
Colonel Rowan, r. A.. Colonel Neville, Scots
Fusleer Guards; Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher,
OF the same regiment, and Mr.. Conway Seymour,
who happened to be present, were received by
General Mcclellan and General Mcdowell with
much courtesy and attention. The impression
produced upon their minds was, on the whole,
exceeding favorable partly owing perhaps to
the idea they had formed Of this great volunteer
army, and partly in consequence of the unde-
nably good physical properties Of the troops.
Nevertheless, it would be futile to conceal the
deficiencies of that army; there is, for example,
General Mcdowell. bn officer of the regular
army, accomplished, well instructed, and ac-
quainted with the duties of leader, surrounded
by number Of young gentlemen very earnest,
gallant, and hard-working, but ignorant, for the
most pare of the proper duties Of staff officers.
The attempts made, with some success, to
furnish an adequate number of staff officers to
the various divisions OF commanders have en-
countered bitter opposition in Congress, aud in
the case Of General Mcclellan the disposition of
some members 10 forget what he has done and
to remember what he has not done was shown
with great acrimony.
Yesterday Gen. Mcclellan, hearing there were
some officers in Washington who had not seen
the review Of the day but one previous, sent
over an invitation to them to come out to Alex
andria, where a review of fifteen thousand men,
iorty-two guns and few horse was specially
prepared for them by General Mcdowell. Lord
Lyons and the members of the Legation were
also invited and were present
General Mcclellan and General Mcdowell
paid every attention to their visitors, who were
charmed by their courtesy. They role up and
down the lines, took the post Of honor at the
march past received the salute, and were, in
fact, treated with an attention which was very
graceful and conspicuous. The fine physical
properties of the men made an impression on our
officers, which was increased by their very great
and unexpected sreadness." The latter quail
ity has been much dwelt upon by military visi-
tors to the American camps recently.

A FEMALE MAJoR.-Governor Yates, Of Illi-
nois, has paid a rather unusual, but we'll merit
ed, compliment to Mrs. Reynolds wife of Lieu
tenant Reynolds, of the Seventeenth Illinois Re-
nolds has accompanied her husband through the
greater part Of the campaign through which the
Seventeenth has passed, sharing with him the
dangers and privations of q soldiers life. She
was present at the battle of Pitsburg Landing,
and, like a ministering angel attended to the
wants of as many of the wounded and dying
soldiers as she could, thus winning the gratitude
and esteem of the brave fellows by whom she
was surrounded, Governor Yeates, hearing of
her heroic and praiseworthy conduct, presented
her with a commission as Major in the army,
the document conlerring the we'll merited honor
being made out With all due formality and hay-
ing attached to it the great seal of the State.

Very PRorER ORDER.-Recently a rebel
officer, who was made prisoner, died and was
buried ut Louisville, Ky. More recently dis
was buried at Georgetown, Ky. Both funerals
were made the occasion of great display by the
sympathsers with rebellion. 1t was manifestly
the design of those who attended, to encourage
the rebels in the war against the Uuion. We
learn from the Journal that the Provost Marshal
of Louisville has received an order from head
quarters at Pittsburg Landing that hereafter no
rebel dead bodies shall, so far as his jurisdic-
tion extends be landed upon the soil Of Kentuc-
ky. Itmatters little where the dust Of the dead
repOses but it is of consequence that all devices
for tho advancement of the rebellion should be
promptly and efficiently resisted

CORN.
BY +. ROSS WHITE.

The golden banners of the corn,
viii glad the earth again,
Attended by the morning dew,
And the celestial rain !
And matron eyes will brighter grow,
To see the bending corn
Stoop, like band OF worshippers,
To greet the rising mornl
The maiden's cheek will wear hue
More healthy in the sun,
While counting beads OF luscious corn,
The dark -eye Harvest Nun
The OLD MAN with his snowy locks,
Whit az u ter's zone,
Benz, and thanks our God
In one.
ChIldIe. i.p and laugh and lie
Upon tue greeuer grass,
And shade their SUMNER eyes of love
While argosies do pass
The argosies of mellow corn,
On rivers and on seas:
These are our Coat of Arms
We conquer worlds with these.
Nature herself doth smile
When unto her are born
ITO feed her starving million mem
So many grains Of corn.
The ill-fed serfs of Cotton King
Fall down in conscious shame,
And glorious peans loudly sing
Unto the Rescuer's name.
All tongues, all nations, will be glad
When Corn has come to reign,
To spread his banners DER the earth
In Peace and Love again

NEAT TRICK OF THE SHARPsHoOTERs.-Af few
days since the " Berdans" changed their habil-
iments. They went out as usual next day, and
got close up to the rebel lines that they could
hear them talk. One said :-"I don't see any
sharpshooters to-day" His comrade thereupon
got up to look, and, as if assured of their alb
sence, was less careful than usual about his per-
son, when crack went rifle and the carcass of
another traitor tumbled across a gun carriage
bereft of the breath of life. His companion
thereupon peered over the parapet and sung OUT:
/" There; that'll do, d-n you; we know who
you are. What have you done with your grey
coats and caps? ?" The Berdans" never reply,
save with the sharp crack and whistling bullet
of their fve-shooters

For his judgment was sound.

That each hearer admirngy
Answered, " That's So"
That his sayings were booked,

Then they might be preserved
For the good of posterity.

If trouble you dread
Buy your clothes at the TOWER"
