E,rrl with Thee Sill.

esMother, sweet mother, though many day
Has pass'd, like the swift wing'd cloud away,
Since thou with grief that was almest wild
Didst give to the Angel of Death, thy child,
Never more let a tear thy eyelids fill
Mother. sweet mother, I'm with thee still.
"Thou canst not see me, thy child so dear
Thou canst not hear me, yet l am Near,
watch thee mother, as thou didst me
In the days of my youth and infancy,
Loves hottest vigils l come to fill,
Mother, dear mother, I'm with thee still.
"When the East grows red with the coming morn
And the stars fade out in the crimson dawn,
And the busy cares ola new born day
Are chasing the shadows of sleep away,
Thy cup from the river Of life fill,
Mother, sweet mother, I'm with thee still.
"When the sun goes down to his couch of gold
And the shadowy wings of night unfold
And the stars light up the beautiful road
That shows the way to the saints above,
I come with the angels that do His will.
Mother dear mother, I'm with thee still.
II see thee kneeI in the place of prayer
As the earnest of faith to thee is given,
The hope that heralds the bliss of heaven,
The hottest place that earth can fill,
Mother, sweet mother, I'm with thee still.
when the time is come that thy strength shall fail
And thy feet are turned to the narrow vale,
And the river of death so dark and cold
Shall roll over thee, az DER me it rolled,
I'll touch thy hand in the wave so chill,
Mother, sweet mother, I'm with thee still
''When the river is passed and the journey done
The conflict is over, the victory won
And thy feet are firm on that glorious shore
Where sorrow and parting are known no more,
Never more shall a tear thy eyelds fill,
There, there, dearest mother m with thee still"

Thoy agreed to sell them as follows One sold
three chickens for one dollar, and the other sold
two chickens for one dollar, which would be
tsye chickens for two dollars, and they received
twenty Eve dollars for the sixty chickens.
Tive next day they came to market again with

DEAD-LETTER SYSTEM ABoLIsHED.-On
che DIST of January, 1862, the President ap-
proved an act passed by Congress, authorizing
the Post Office Department to return a II dead
letters to their writers. The Post-Master Cen
eral was of the opinion that the revenue deriv-
from charge Of do uble postage on such letters
would more than equal tie expenditure caused
by an extra clerical force in the Department
Thus far the system works very smoothly, and
all letters not reaching their dest inatlon, in
stead of being burned by the CARLOAD, are now
carefully sent to the writers and double postage
collected. OF course many valuable letters are
returned, but of their value the writer, not the
Department should be the judge. The following
notice on the envelope inclosing the dead let
ter to the postmaster explains the further OBJ
ject of this law:
The inclosed letter is sent to the writer, un-
der an act of Congress approved January 81 !,
1862; if not delivered, and double postage col
lected, as required by this new law, it must be
returned to the Third Assistant Postmaster
General within one month, with the reasons
for non-deivery endorsed on it, according to
section 1879, of Post-ofice Regulations,
If retained Il longer period, the postmaster
will be held accountable for the postage, wheth-
er delivered or not. The date of receipt at the
post-offce must be marked on the letter.
The postmaster will not allow the envelope
10 be opened before receiving the postage

HUMAN LIFE.-Men seldom think OF the
great event of death until the shadows fall
across their own path, hiding forever from their
eyes the traces of loved ones whose living
smiles were the sunlight of their existence
Death il the great antagonist of life, and the
cold thought Of the tomb is the skeleton OF all
feasts We do not want to go through the dark
valley, although its passage may lead 10 para
disc and with Charles Lamb, we do not want
to lay down IN the muddy grave, even with
kings and princes for our bed fellows But
the fiat of nature is memorable. There is no
appeal from the great law which dooms us to
the dust We flourish and fade like the leaves
of the forest; and the flowers that bloom and
wither in day have not Trailer hold upon
life than the mightest monarch that ever SHOOK
the earth with his footsteps Generations OF
men appear and vanish as the grass, and the
countless multitude which fills the world today
will tomorrow disapper as the footsteps on the
shore.

There is an0thec class who commit this sin
deliberately esteeming it mark of bOlduess ana
other manly qualities of which they are sadly
deficient by nature. 1t may seem strange that
any person should place such false estimate
upon the nobility of manhood. But, notwith-
standing, so it is and the reason of this Isl OBJ
viously, because of false impression as 20 the
nature of these qualities Themselves. They have
not enough of manhood about them physically,
mentally, or morally, to know how these noble
qualities should develop themselves, and they
seize upon this, because il does not present at
least one human quality, viz, human depravity,
and that is all. [ can easily form the image of
one of these small specimens OF humanity in my
own mind, and perhaps | can describe him so
that YOU will recognize him when you meet him.
He generally wears very long greasy hair, some
times slightly twisted at the end, suggesting the
idea of a curl. The little down that nature has
sprinkled very sparingly upon ms upper lip, he
has coaxed and visited, and piastered with va
riOus oeaginous compounds, until it really has
some remote leso mblance to moustache. he
stands before the glass longer than it takes a
young lady to make sr toilet, and he will brush
it one way, and then the other way, in the vain
hope of giving it an upward curl at the end,
Then he will draw himself up, knit his brow,
and imagine that be looks fierce, like Spanish
brigand, or foreign, like an axlied Hungarian.
When all this ID completed he will take little
cane. and put Oh his little hat, and saunter forth
to stare young ladies out Of countenance, or
with the more cruel intent of damaging their
hearts Listen for a moment to his language,
what do you heart Why, just what you might
expect Imprecitions upon his own soul and
the souls of others. If he attempts such thing
as conversation, the only remarkable thing
about it is its extreme Stiffness and its shock
ing impiety. Did you ever meet this young
gentleman in any of your travels 7 have en-
countered him III every railroad car, in every
steamboat, at every hotel, and l give you his
description as a fair specimen Of the class " no
swear deliberately and wilfully without the
presence of passion or emotion, merely az an
evidence of manhood. Young ladies, when you
meet him, give him wide berth, as the san,
ors say, for he il the most dangerous animal
uncaged.

well crowded with those admitted " to see the

order, announcing his supersedure.

issued from Richmond his Proclamation hcre.
with given, cOnsigning Gen. Butler and all his
commissioned officers to ieon's dca'a--whcn
he Shall have caught them.
Richmond is in teegraphc communication
with Mobile, hardly one hundred miles from
New Orleans, and there is uuque, .iouably al
most daily clandestins intercourse between the
military authorities in Mobile and the Rebels
in New-O Orleans In other words, though our
Government can only hear from Newt Orleans
at considerable intervals, ard by the circuiiou,
ocean route, the Rebel government can always
be informed OF any important event occurring
there within three days at most. and oftencr
within two days. Hence we first learned
through Richmond Of the capture Of the great
5outh'WeStern city several days before our
Government bad advice Of it through official
or other Union channels.
Can there be shadow Of doubt, then, that
Davis, when he Issued his raw.head and bloody

ordinates knew that Butler had been relieved,
and no longer had any subordinates

enter the barbor tomorrow morning." Official dis
patches state that the fleet had returned TO Hilton
Head. From observations made, it was thought that
Gen. Hunter had arrived with reenforccments.
Gen. c. c. Washburnes late expedition into Mis-
sssippi, and his destruction of important railroad
communications in the rear of the Rebel army greatly
disconnected the enemy, and produced stampede oil
his forces from those positions at Abbeville and
Grenada. His report, Of which we have copy, is
an interesting document and gives the particulars OF
many stirring adventures.
Port Royal news il received as late as the both.
Seven vessels of the Banks expedition had put into
the harbor. Their names are the Ericsson, the
Thames, the Salvo, the Quincy, the Prometheus, the
Albany, and the Jersey Blue. The jersey Blue has
been condemned and the troops che had on board
will be cent forward as soon as the means OF raps-
portation can be had.
There are stories from Cairo Of Rebel ravases
in Northwestern Tennessee and Kentucky, along
the Obion River; and report was current that the
Union forces were about TO spike their guns ana
blow up the Notifications at Island No. 10, and aoan-
don the place. Another rumor was to the effect tha'
