SOMETIME.

'Tis wild, sweet song, IA beautiful song,
With low and ~ ythmical chime,
Nung out from the topinost bou.hs OF Il tree
The winds have christcncd Sometime"
Its words arc strung on golden string,
In long inclodous rhyme,
Telling Of germs in each withrred flower,
That rain shall bring out sometime:
Telling Of hopes that arc buried below,
Meath the dust of deceit and crime,
That true repentance and true belief
May waken to life sometime
or folded hands DER pusclcss heart,
Under some fragrant lime,
In the beautiful city with pretty gntcs-
Shall l clasp them again somcti.nc
or tiny ringlcts Of golden hair,
And eyes, with look sublime
In their shadowy depths, we say "Socd-byc,
Hoping to meet sometime.
All, yes; It's a beautiful song that hear,
Afar in this beautiful cline,
Kung out from the topmost boughs of a tree,
The winds have christcncd Sometime"
And it lessons my heart Of a weary load,
Rcncws all its oldcn prime,
For it tells of Il mansion beyond the skies,
Where hope to be happy sometime.

A SKATING STORY.-It was Just tw "nty
years ago yesterday, says Reid Gordon, that
party of us f.llc.s went over to Bergen
Creek on skating match. The day WIS
colder than ten iccbergs all smooth as glass,
and we made up our minds to have a heap of
fun. Bill Berry was the leader Of the crowd.
lie was tall sx-tooter, full of pluck, and the
best skatcrsin all creation. Give Bill Berry
pair of skates and smooth sailing, and he'd
make the trip to Bafin's Bay and back again
in ~ hours. only stopping long enough at Hal
flax to take drink. Well, we got to the
taking good horn from Joe turner's flask
started off in good style, Bill Berry taking the
lead. AS l was tellin' We, it WAS doyged
cold day, and so we had to skate fast to keep
the blood up. There was little airholcs in
the ice, and every now and then we would
come near going into them. My skates got
loose, and tried to f,sten 'en. Just as had
finished bucklins the straps | saw something
shooting along the ice like lightning 1t was
Bill Berrys head. lie had been going it like
CREASED electricity, and before he knew it he
he was into one Of them airholrs. The force
was SO great as to cut his head off against the
sharp edges of the ice.
"lt's all day with Bill Berry," said 7.
"And all night, toe" said Joe Turner.
Just as he had got these words out of his
mouth, and looked at Bills head, which had
been going it on the ice. all at once it dropped
into another hole. We ran to it, and heard
Bill Berry say:
"Quick, boys! quick pull me ou.!"
looked into the hole, and there, as l am
a sinner, was Bill Bcrry's body, which had
shooted along under the ice. and met tho head
mt hole in tho ice. 1t was shocking cold,
tho head had frozen fast to the body and we
pulled Billy out as good as new. He felt Il
little numb at first, but after skating awhile
he felt as tho rest of us, and laughed over the
Joke. We went home about dusk, all satisfied
with the days sport.
About 10 o'clock in the evening somebody
knocked at the door and said ! was wanted
over to Bill Derry's. l put on my coat and
went over. There lay Bills body in one
place and his head in another. His wife said
that after he came home from skating he sat
down by the fire to warm himself, and while
attempting to blow his nose he threw his head
into the fireplace. The coroner was called
and rendered verdict in accordance with the
facts.

SCARCiTY IN THE REBEL CONFEDERAcY.
From tho Savannah Republican Of Decem-
Der Sd We copy the annexed statement, show
ing the privations to which the rebels are sub
jected in the way of food:
"There arc many portions Of the Confed-
eracy where the stock Of breadstufs for an
other year is already well nigh exhausted. In
some counties of Georgia the wheat crop was
total failure, and the supply of corn will not
last till Christmas. In every portion of the
country, sugar. coffee and other beverages are
exceedingly high. and totally beyond the reach
Of the large body of the people. Flour. in the
principal cities Of this State, is selling at from
forty 20 fifty dollars. AS regards coffee. our
people had pretty well made up their minds to
do without it-chickory, rye. barley. wheat.
potatoes, and number of other domestic pro-
ducts, having been found pretty fair substi.
tutes. Even in this. though. they have been
foiled. Sugar. without which they are useless.
from being locked up, has become SO high and
scarce that but few can obtain it."
The Republican attributes the scarcity in
flour and sugar to the course Of the govern.
,nent in ,nonopolizing the tirst-named for the
army, and refusing to allow the shipment Of
tho latter from Mississippi by railway, on tue
plea of military necessity. "'

them as hypocrites as we'll as traitors.
.[Chsers.] The reason they pretend to be
afraid Of high taxes is that they do not want
to vote money for the relief Of the soldiers.
They want to embarass the Government and

Tremendous applause, during which the old
gentlemen sat down, after he had given the
desk parting whack, which sounded loud
above above the din of cheers and clapping
Of hands.
l never before witnessed so much excite
ment in an assembly. Funk spoke with
force Of natural eloquence, with a conviction
aud trthfulness, with fervor and pathos,
which wrought up the galleries, and even
members on the floor, to the highest pitch of
excitement. His voice was heard in the
stores that surrounded the square, and the
people came Aocking in from all quarters. In
five minutes he had an audience that packed
tho hall to its utmost capacity. After he had
concluded, the Republican members and spec
tators rushed up and took him by the hand
to congratulate him. The Democrats said
nothing. but evidently felt the castigation
they were receiving most keenly, as might be
seen from their blanched cheeks and restless
and uneasy glances.
