VISION S.


s. Il dream, and lfIuifless risio,,. --sHAksPEARE
Visions Of beauty. dreams Of ny childhood
Come back again in your witehing array;
Sweet as the warblings Of birds in the wild wood,
Fresh as the dew-beads in mornings Of May.
Oh. let my spirit dreamily wander
Once again back TO those far-awav hours:
Love as loved then, purer and fonder,
Heaven all sunshine and earth strewed with
flowers.
Visions Of glory bright as the MONDAY.
Come back again in your richness and truth;
Gorgeous and warm as the sun Of a June-day
Wild as the mountain stream-visions of youth :!
Oh let my spirit battle in your splendor;
Life throbbing strongly through heart aud thro
vein,
Love-a deep passion. holy and tender;
Pleasure-the life-wine my soul sought to drain.
Visions Of greatness, knowledge and power!
Come back again We were in my prime;
Mellow in promise of fruit from the flower,
Fame from the lay-Manhood's ripe Autumn
time.
Oh let my spirit ding to its longing
Still to those visions that dattered and fled:
Let me re-people my heart with the thronging
OF phantoms that cheated, of hopes that are dead
Visions all visions How sad To remember
Beauty and glory and greatness were gone
Spring, Summer, Autumn all past-and December
With snowflake and cloud coming goomily on
Echo Of strings long untouched by the finger
Odor Of life when its flowers decay,
Memory-how fondly the soul loves to linger
Through thy dim sbadow-land wandering away.
Visions! all visions the dreams of the sleeper.
Man walks in shadows from cradle to tomb,
In shadows that ever grow darker and deeper
As his lfe-sun goes down to its setting in gloom.
The past all illusion-the Present fits from Us;
It dies as we grasp it and turns into Past
The Future, all darkness, gives only one promise
When our journey is over, the grave rest at last
Oh! let my spirit slumber no longer,
Tapped in those visions deusive and sad
Awake let thy ken become clearer and stronger
To pierce those lifeshadows, my soul and be glad.
All is not darkness-from regions elysian
Through the grave, as it opens, a light thou
can'st view.
Evanish ye shadows. dissolve every vision!
For all things in heaven are real and true

= A Hopeless Case.

/ Under this head the Wing of last evening
states that DR.. Edison, well known physician
Of this city, had a controversy on the street
Yesterday afternoon with a couDtryman, in
which the doctor was trying to convince the
crowd that was present. that he, the doctor.
" was a Union man, but the countryman was
too much tor him, and be skedadded " with
ont being able to accomplish his object" -
This we are informed, is a gross perversion of
the facts, which were substantially as follows /:
The controversy between DR.. Edison and Mr.
j. Masters, the counryman, as stated by the
Wing, in the course of which Mr. Masters
charged the doctor with dislovalty when the
doctor, to test the patriotism of Mr. Masters,
proposed to him that they should both 90
forthwith and enlist under Lieut.. S. Hatch
who has a recruiting Office in this city. Ar
irving at the office the doctor entered his name
on the muster roll, and Mr. Masters did the
same. After the preliminary physical exam-
ton of the parties by the lieutenant, he propo-
sed 10 administer the oath to both of them.
when Mr. Masters requested permission to see
tie young man who came to the city with HIM
that he might advise him of the circumstances,
and send him home with the team Instead
of returning to the Office, however, Mr.. Mas

the last that was seen of the valiant Republ

that DIR. Edsons challenge was not confined
to Mr.. Masters, but was extended to any Re
publican in the crowd. but none of them init.
mated an acceptance except Mr.. Masters, and
he shamefuy, coward-like, backed down and

REBEL JOURNAL ON ENGLAxD.-The
Richmond Examiner. of August 9th has
long editorial giving its opinion on the manner
in which England views the present rebellion
The concluding paragraph gives the editors
views on the subject in the following words:
" 1t is the interest of Great Britain that
this war shall go on until the North is over
whelmed with debt and taxation, and thor
oughly exhausted of men, capital and materials
for conducting a successful rivalry IN manufac
lures and commerce and until, also, the South
shall be everywhere overrun. her slaves taken
off, her labor system completely overturned ];
and all the circumstances which gave the
Soaih q monopoly of the cotton culture shall
be destroyed The talk about her starving
operatives is the silly cant of women and cler
gymen England could better afford. and her
Government would prefer TO see FIVE millions
OF her operatives starve to death. rather than
to see the civil dissensions of this country heal
ed and lis affairs embarked again on the career
OF prosperity on which they were moving two
years ago. She has had the cunning, by heavy
brides 10 controlling members of the Republi-
can party of the North, to iuaugurate the
present troubles and despite Of the sen,imen
talism which she is now preaching on the hor-
roTs OF the war. she is the real instigator of the
aggressive measures Of the North against the
South. She has had the address to make the
North-her rival il manufactures and com
merce-do her own work upon the South
her successful competitor in the cotton culture.
Her two rivals in matters touching her vital
interests are engaged in deadly collision, and
she would, this day, choose rather that all her
starving operatives should perish than that the
North and South should be at peace unit
their work of mutual destruction is completed
T Conscience in some men is but the dread
OF public opinion.

fallible method by which each person receiving
this valuable information could avoid the draft.
As many as four hundred letters, each inclosing
dollar, reached the ingenious advertiser with
in twelve hours. In every instance, he con-
scientiously performed his promise, and, with
out delay or evasion, communicated how to
evade the draft The secret, which is well
worth knowing, was communicated in the sim
