One by One.
One by one the sands are flowing
One BY one the moments fall;
SOME coming, going,
Do not strive TO grasp them all;
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength 20 with each;
Les future dreams eiate thee,
Learn thou first what these teach
One by one, bright gift from Heaven,
Joys sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, TOO, to let them CO.
One by one Thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear armed band;
One win fade as others greet thee:
Shadows passing through the land.
See how each small moments pain;
God viii help thee for tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Do not look at LIES long sorrvw,
Every hour that fleets slowly,
Has It's task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
II thou set each gem with care
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passion, hours despond
Nor. the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond
Hours are golden links Gods token,
Reaching Heaven, but one by one;
Take them, lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be DONE

That Mysterious Visit Of the French

1t appears that on leaving Richmond,
Count MERCER had NO sooner reached

they were hastily conveyed to a WAL
steamer at New York, which was already
under steam. and. having been boarded

for France.
The singular expedition Of this trans.
action. aud the air Of importance given il
10y a number Of circumstances, had crea
ted immense sensation in the Foreign di
ploma.'c circles in tlst city.
We are positive assured that, on the
return OF Count Mercier to Washington,
the British Minister had deputed his sec.
retary I" ProcssI ins,sn,Iyao Anaapoli.
and take a steamer there for Norfolk en-
route for Richmond; and that the DAMS.
Consul had also suddenly left on au exps.

had taken advantage in his mysteriou,
