Gen. Mitchell is reported to be at Gauha,
Mrs, having burned the bridges at Decatur
and Florence. We find 10 such place as Gauha
on the map, but if he has reached Mississippi at
all he is III rather close proximity to Coriuth ;
too close, we should think, unless he has many
more troops under his command than when he
occupied Huntsville. 1t is said that Beuureeard
is being rapidly reinforced

The Children's Hour.
ny LoNuFELLow.

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes pause IN the days occupations
That is known as the Children Hour.
/ hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet,
The sound of n door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet;
From my study see iu,he lamplight
Descending the broad half stuir.
Grave Alice and laughing Allegra,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper and then a silence;
Yet l know by their merry eyes,
They are plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush at the stairway.
A sudden raid from the hall
BY the three doors left unguar ded
They enter my castle wall
They climb up into my turrct
Der the arms and the back of my chair
Ii try 10 escape, they surround me;
They seem TO be everywhere.
They almost dcvour me with kisses,
Their arms about me entwiuc.
Till think of the Bishop of Bngen
In his Mouse Tower on the Rhine!
DO you think. 0 blue-eyed bandiiti.
Because YOU have scaled the wall,
Such an old mousiache as | am
Is net q match for You all
have you fast in my fortress,
And viii not let you depart,
But put yor down IN the dungeons
In the round tower OF my heart.
And there will keep you forever,
Yes, forever and day.
I'LL the walls shall crumble TO ruin,
And moulder in dust away

Life s Autumn.

Like the leaf, life has its fading We
speak aud think of it with sadness, Just
as we speak and think of this autumn sea-
son But there should be no sadness at
the fading of life that has done well its
work. If We rejoice at the advent Of a
new lite, if we welcome the coming of a
new pilgrim to the uncertainties Of this
worlds way, why should there be so much
gloom when all these uncertainties are
passed, and life at its waning wears the
glory of completed task Beautiful as
it is in childhood in its freshness and in
nocence, its beauty is that Of untried life.
1t is the beauty Of promise, of spring, of
the bud. A hoier and rarer beauty is
the beauty which the waning life of faith
and duty wears. 1t is the beauty Of a
thing completed and as men come to-
gether to congratulate each other when
some great work has been achieved, and
see in its concluding nothing but gladness,
so ought We to feel when the setting sun
filings back its beams upon life that has
answered well lites purpose. When the
bud drops lighted, when the mildcw blasts
the early grain, and there goes all hope of
the harvest, one may well be sad /; but
when the ripened year sinks amid its graf.
itude of autumn flowers and leaves, why
should We regret or murmur? And so a
life that is ready and waiting for the
"well done." of God, whose latest virtues
and charities are its noblcst, should be
driven back to God IN uncomplaining rev.
erence while we rejoice that earth is ca
pable of so much goodness, and is permit
ted such virtue.-J. f. W. Ware.

THE LATE KING OF PRrssIA once sent
to an aid-de-camp, Colonel Malachowki,
who was brave but poor, small portto-
lio, bound like book, in which were de-
posted five hundred crowns. Sometime
afterwards ne met the officer, and said to
him, All, well, how do you like the new
work which sent you?" Excessively,
sire" replied the colonel. 81 read II with
such interest that expect the second vol
ume with impatience." The king smiled
and when the officers birthday arrived,
he presented him with another portfolio
similar to the first in every respect, but
with these words engraved upon it -

GAn Exchange truthfully says: If
an editor omits anything, he is lazy. If
he speaks of things as they are, he is
mad. If he CLOSES over, smooths down
rough points, he is bribed. If he calls
things by their proper names he is unfit
for the position Of an editor. If he does
not furnish his readers with jokes, he is a
mullet. If he does, he is rattlehead,
lacking stability. If he condemns the
wrong, he is good fellow, but lacks dis
eretion. Ii he lets wrongs and injuries
90 uumcntoned, he Is coward, Ii he
upholds public man, he does it to graft
fy Il spite-is a tool of clique, or be-
longs to the "outs." If he INDUCES in
personalities, he is blackguard; If he
does not his paper is dull and insipi!."

SENATOR WADE, in reply to some dis
paragng remarks Of Senator Powell of
Kentucky on Mass. uttered the following
telling and truthful reply:
q tell him Massachusetts was never
more adorned; there never was more pa-
trio,ism, there never was more efficiency
to extricate the country from the difficult
ty into which it is plunged, than there is
from Massachusetts to-day. How is it
with old Kentucky? Did the Senator
think of that in the remarks he made ?
His former colleague stood here a year
ago preaching these same doctrines Of
Cancellation and anti-coercion, invoking
the Constitution in favor of traitors, tax,
ins his pay out of the Treasury, holding
up his hand to God aad swearing he would
be loyal to the Constitution, and then
sneaking off into the rebel army to stab
your Constitution to death That is the
successor of old Harry Clay, of glorious
memory! Is not that degeneraey? The
Senator himself confesses he has been sus-
pccted, at least. Should he, standing up
on ground like that, have made this in
quiry into the standing of present and
past Senator's

An Excuse FOR SMoKING.-ln one of
our neighboring towns the lads of school
acquired the habit of smoking, and re-
sorted to the most ingenious methods to
conceal the vice from the master. In
this they were successful, until one eve
ming, when the master caught them in it,
and stood before them in awful dignity.
How now," shouted the master to the
first lad, "how dare you be smoking to-
bacco +"

headaches, and pipe takes off the pain. .

quired the pedagogne, questioning every
boy in his turn.
One had raging tooth :" another the
E." cholic " the third u " cough" in short,
they all had something.
"Now, slrrah," beloved the master, to
the last boy, " what disorder do YoU smoke
for ?"
Alas all the eycurscs were exhausted ;
but the intcrrogated urchin, putting down
his pipe after farewell Whit, and look.
ing up in the masters face, said, in a
whining, hypoeritcal tone
Sir, smoke for corns'"
The master looked at him for a moment
in silence, and then walked home.

u
Northern brethren, why this hating
Of your Southern brothers here2
Are they bulls that We are batting,
Till they'll fight the more severe?
What is now your wild ambition
Would you see this nation fall2
Do you think that Abolition
Is the wreck on which to call?
Do you think it stands so strongly,
Twill uphold the Union still?
Do you think though treated wrongly,
Southern men have not will
Do you think 70 keep possession
Of the slave, that traitors steal? 8
Or that men will brook oppression,
And never draw the avengeful steel?
Think not lightly on this crisis;
Rocks, though firm, in time decay;
Priceless Unions have their prices,
Constant dropping wears away.
Angry words and agitation
Ola wrong will make no right;
Brightest day of greatest nation
Civil war would turn to night.
Happy years we've lived together,
Like firm united band,
But load by single feather y
May bemore than men will stand;
Better should that plume be given
To the waiting seaward wind,
Than the fairest land but Heaven
Be destroyed by men so blind.
WHAT'S gained by agitation,
And the strife of angry words,
lift bring this happy nation
To the clash Of bloody swords?
Whoshall gain but vile ambition,
That Il. leading on this strife2
Bettered be will no condition,
Bond or free, that breathes in life.
Brothers still may be united;
And support the stripes and stars,
And the faith our fathers plighted
On the field Of war god Mars
But you must, like brothers willing,
Stop the tongues Of wicked knayes,
Who the nation now are killing,
In pretence Of freeing slaves.
What viii nations DER the ocean
Think of Us if we should part2
Parting for the widest notion
Ever filed the human heart;
Freedom then may well be signing
Ger the ruin ruling here,
Tyrants then in triumph crying,
Gloat around our Unions bier.
