A LESSON WORTH ENsHR1N1Na.

And wisdom never breaches
To human hearts better lore
Than this short sentence teaches.
As life is sometimes brght and fair.
Aud sometimes dark and lonely,
Let ne forget its toll and care,
And note its bright hours only.
There isno grove on earth's broad chart
But has some bird to cheer t;
So hope sings IN ~ everv heart,
Although we may not hear it.
And il to-day the heavy wind
OF sorrow is expressing,
Peichauce to morruWs son will bring
Tho weary heart blessing
. For lie 10 sometimes bright and fair.
And sometimes dark aud lonely;
. Then let's intgpt its toll aud care,
Aud .,Ote It's bright hours only.
We bid the JOYOUS monenrs haste,
Aud then forget their clutter;
We take the cup of life and tGste
No portion but tho bitter;
Bui we should teach on hearts deem
LIS sweetes drops the stronges
Aud pleasant hours should ever seem
To Iiugor round MS longest.
As life is sometimes bright and fair.
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let us forget its toh aud care.
Aud note it's bright hours only.
The darkest shadows of tho night
Are Just before tho mnruing;
Then lei us wait tho Coming light,
All bcdcless phantoms scorning;
Aud while we're passing on the tide
OF Times fast ebhlng river.
Let's pluck the blossoms nv lis s,do
And bless the gracious Gver.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget its pain and caro-,
And note its bright hours only.

How England treats Her Rebels.

No government ON earth has shown q
more ierocious temper in qnslling rebellion
against its authority than that of England,
Her aristOcracy and throne have always
been true to the traditions of the past.
From the days of William the Bastard to
the present, every party or dynasty which
has controlled the government of England
has held common ground in regard 10 the
treatment OF rebels against itself. History,
in its long roll of crimes against humanity,
has no records more black than those of
the punishment visited by British power on
all who have dared to question her rights,
whether acquired by prescription or con-
quest. Tho right TO punish her own rebels
Is one which sha has always cherished with
peculiar care.
Tho dungeons of the Tower; the fieshless
and grinuiug skulls which, of old, formed
tho appropriate ornaments of Temple Bar;
the bloody assizes OF Jetfries; the ravages
OF Claverhouse; the massacres of Drogbeda
aud G'encoo; the Indian tomahawk aud
scaIpIng knife employed in our war of tho
RevoIutlUn; the VIC inns of the Old Jersey
prisun ship; the H,ndon rebels, whose living
bodies were ranmed into nortars and fred
into tho air-ail bear witness to the mur-
derous revenge with which England visits
rebellion against her authority. And this
is the England which exhorts us to forgive
our rebels. aud acknowledge he new Da-
honey 10 our Southern States in the inter-
esIs OF humanity and cottob.--N. Y, Times.

Tended by rife pits. The bay is obstructed
with piles, fire RATS, &c. Three gunboats are

that Charleston will be attacked soon. Gen,
Mitchell is maturing his plans therefor.
Our force at Port Royal is considerably in
creased. The health of the troops is excellent.
The Fingal, rebel ram, is nearly completed
at Savannah. The two Others will probably

or Gen. Ortegas. Gen. Forey, commander-in-
chief of the French army, stopped at Martini
que on his way to Vera Cruz. and was expect
ed at that city in a day or two, on board the
frigate Turenne. The march of the army on
the City of Mexico is expected to take place
about the middle of October.
