The Goddess of Poverty.

Paths sanded with gold, verdant hesths
ravens loved by the wild goats, great
mountains crowned with stars, wandering
torrents, impenetrable forests, let the good
goddess pass through-the Goddess Of
Poverty
Since the world existed, since met
have been, she traverses the world, she
dwells among men; she travels singing
and she sings working, the goddess, the
good Goddess of Poverty
They found her too beautiful, TOO gay
too nimble, and too stroog. PLUCK ou
her wings" said they "Chain her
bruise her with blows, that she may suf
fer. that she may perish" the Goddess o
Poverty!
They have chained the good goddess
they have heaten aud prosecuted her
but they cannot disgrace Ler She ha,
taken refuge in the soul of poets, in til,
soul of peasants, in the soul of martyrs
in the soul Of saints, the good goddess
the Goddess of Poverty
She has walked more than the Wan
derlng Jew she has travelled more thar
the swallow she is older thau the Cathe
dral Of Prague she is younger than the
egg of the wren she has multiplied more
upon the earth than strawberries in BU
heman forests, the goddess, the gooC
Goddess of Poverty
She always makes the grandeSt anC
most beautiful things that we see upol
the earth it is she who has cultivated
the fields and pruued tie trees; it is she
who tends the fields, singing the mosr
beautiful airs it is she who sees the ir>t
peep Of dawn, and receives the last smile
of evening, the good Goddess of Poverty
1t is she who carries the sabre aud the
gun; who makes our war and conquests
1t Is she who collects the dead, tends the
wounded, aud hides the conquered, the
good Goddess Of Poverty
Thy children will cease one day to
carry the world upon their shoulders
they will be recompensed for their labor
aud toll. The time approaches when
there will be neither rich nor poor; when
all men shall Consume the fruits Of the
earth, aud equally enjoy the gifts of Gou ;
but thou wilt not be forgotten in their
hymns. Oh, good Goddess of Poverty
George Sand.

coffee, 6 shillings per pound tea, 81 per

ably high. Fifty years of peace will be
required to restore the South to the pros
perity which she enjoyed prior to the
rebellion. Surely "the way of the trans-
gressor is hard" That the war will close
by the entire subjugation of the South,
no one can now doubt, but the future
status of the Southern States is specu-
lative. | venture the opinion that diff

South, carrying with them institutions
more compatible with the civilization of
the progressive age in which We liye.

Death of Gen. Wnl. HI. Keim.
HARRISBURG, MAY 20, 1862.


Gen. VIM. H. Keim died of typhoid
fever on Sunday last. His remains will
be sent to Reading tomorrow to be in
tered there. They will be accom- panied
by the heads of the military and civil de-
partments. Gen Keim has ALWAYS occu-
pied prominent position in the Govern
ment of Pennsylvania, and the experience
which he thus acquired, added to his
marked abilities, qualified him to Eli any
position in the councils of the State with
credit to himself and to the satisfaction
of his constituents. Gen. Keim was a
native of the city of Reading. For many
years be commanded the Fifth Division
of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and held the
rank of Major General. From his en-.
trance into public life he took an evident
interest in the internal improvements of
Pennsylvania, and from one position to
another advanced to the position of Sur
veyor General, having teen elected to
that Office by the Republican party. Upon
the breaking out of the rebellion, feeling
that he could be of more service to his
country in the field than in the council
chamber, he rendered his services to Gov.
Curtin. They were accepted. Two
Major Generals were accepted from this
State-Gen. Patterson and Gen. Keim.
He was Immediately ordered to duty on
the Upper Potomac, and had command
of one of Gen. Patterson's divisions dur.
ing the Generals campaign. By his ac-
tive and bCld conduct in Maryland he
overawed the Secessionists of that State.
The three months campaign having ended.
he was mustered out of service, simulta-
ueously with Gen. Patterson. He at
once resumed the duties of his Office,
which had been entrusted pro TEN. to one
| of his subordinates. Several months ago
he again entered the service Of his coun-
| try as Brigadier General, and joined Gen.
McCldlan's army, having previously re.
signed his State position. Having been
attacked with typhoid fever, he was com.
PEELED to return to Harrisburg for med.
ical treatment. He arrived in that city
only few days since, and on Sunday last
his friends were startled with the an
uouncement of his death.

Loss at Front ROYAL

Ga Friday, May %, 5000 Rebels sur
rounded the brave Col. John R. Kenley's
Regiment of first Maryland infantry, aud
several companies of Michigan cavalry,
numbering in all about 1,l00 men Of
Front Royal, Warren county, Virginia.
The most of the cavalry escaped, but the
rest were mostly captured Col. Kenly
was wounded aud taken prisoner. Front
Royal is about twenty miles directly south
of Winchester, and fifteen miles east Of
Strasburg.
The first information Col Henley had
of his danger was BY colored man, who
came riding furiously to the camp, saying
the Rebels we're coming--and before We
were fully formed, they were upon our
army, which fought desperately, retiring
in good order as far as possible, and only
yielding to absolute necessity Some If
our escaped men say the Rebels massa
cred our wounded and prisoners, with
bayonets and reyolvers

A Life Thought.

| heard a man who had failed in bust.
ness, and whose furniture was sold ar
auction, say that when the cradle, the
crib, aud the piano went, the tears would
come, and he had to leave the house to
lie a man. Now there are thousands of
men who have lost their pianos, but who
have found better music in the sound of
their childrens voices and footsteps going
chez fully down with them to poverty,
than any harmony of chorded instru-
ment Oh, how blessed is bankruptcy,
when it saves a man's children. l see
many men who are bringing up their
children as | should bring up mine, if,
when they were teo years old. should
lay them on a dissecting table and cut the
sinews of their arms and legs, SO that they
could neither walk nor use their hands,
but only sit still and be fed. Thus rich
men are putting the knife of Incidence
and luxury to their children's energies,
and they grow up, fatted, lazy calves,
good for nothing at twenty-five but to
drink deep aud squarder wide, aud the
father must be slave all bis life in order
to make beasts of his children How
blessed, then, is the stroke of disaster
which sets the children free, and gives
them over to the hard but kind bosom Of
poverty, who says to them, "work," and
working makes them men.-Beecher.

Great Rebel Failure.

The strengthening of the great armies
of II 'Ciellan aud M'Dowell, left Banks
force the weak point in our line With
their usual sagacity, the Rebels saw this,
and hurried on a large force of "picke |
men" under their favorite jackson, to cut
off Banks army, capture them, and SECURE
his coveted supplies But Banks was too
wary for them, and although hard pressed
and peeled on every side he saved so
many of his men and munitions as to

the butter side down ?"
II don't know. 1t hadn't orter, had

and this is the strongest butter have

"Did she ohurn it? The great lazy

"What, your aunt I"
"No, this here butter. To make that
poor old woman churn it, when it's strong
enough to churn itself"
"Hush, Zeb, I've eat great deal worse
in the most aristocratic houses"
"Well, people of rank ought to eat it. "
"Why people of rank ?"
"sCause it's rank butter"
"You varmint, you! what makes you

"'Cause the butter has taken the skin

The statement is DOW made by author
ity, that the visit of NJ. Mercier, the
French Minister to Richmond, was made
without Instructions from his Govern
meut, or its knowledge, but in conse
ouence of conversation with Secretary
Seward, in which the latter expressed a
willingness that the other should visit
The rebel Capitol and Judge for himself OF
the hopelessness of the rebel cause. The
President also approved of his going. He
held no official intercourse with any one
at Richmond, and his whole course was
most discreet and friendly towards our
Government.

and Gov. Clark has refused more troops
to JEFF Davis, and voluntarily offered to
surrender all the Union prisoners held 10

WHAT GooD LUCK Is.-Some young
men talk about luck Good luck is to
get up at six o'clock in the morning.
Good luck is, if you have only one shil-
ling week, live upon eleven pence, and
save penny-good luck is to trouble
your head with your own business, and
let your Deighbor's alone-good luck is
to fulfill the commandment and do unto
other people as We would have them do
unto US. They must not only work, but
wait. They must plod and persevere.
Pence must be taken care of, for they are
the seeds of guineas. To get on in this
world, they must take care of home, sweep
their own doorways clean, try and help
other people, avoid temptations, and have
faith in truth and God. Then good luck
will come to them.
