at last; the stars set as well as rise, and
before more powerful lights they fade
away. There have been Ceesers before
this; but they were mortal-they have
perished, and SO it must be now. Not
always will the world sit down under one
man: not always will the nations come
under one rod; not always will the peO-
pies suffer the taxation for defence, the
alarm of being plundered, despoiled, and
murdered, which they now endure. The
first Bonaparte lifted the curtain with his
blood red sword, and alone strided the
stage like god; he nodded and the
world bowed he stamped, and the earth
tren bled he sickened, and the nations
shook with ague, or felt the blood boil
with feYer's heat; but, after all his noise
he passed away, leaving little of his work
behind him. So now it must be. France
will tire of its paroxisms, by and by
and Europe and England will sigh for the
peaceful davs of the citizen-king, Louis
Philippe. Not in war, not armies, will
they say, is true national greatness and
the real progress of the race: but in the
spread OF commerce, the advancement of
science and learning, and the elevation of
the masses, are glory and power. The
tide will turn, and when it does, away
goes the Imperialism of the Bonapartes-
they will pass from the heavens, viewed
as they really are, like dark cloud that
deadens and chills the earth and wheth-
er the Bonaparte ''star" sinks in peace or
in blood, God grant that it may be its last
Should it not pass soon, the
nations will be forced to do by Louis
what was done to Napoleon; and
when he ceases, will come true the words
that Pierpont applied to oanether-"Ear
shook her encumbered lap, and let a vii
lain fall.''

experience of so wise and good a man.
He lives out all his days and dies with
the harness on nay, rather, he seems
to us to be only assembled to a higher
sphere Of usefulness and devotion, amid
the perpetual glories and ministrations of
the ImmQrtals around about the Throne.

Oh, that our life may be as perfect and
our death as blessed. How impressive
and solemn is the admonition which is
borne to the living in this dispensation of
Divine Providence With what affecting
beauty and power does God teach us in
this example of his honored servant, the
value of a life so regulated and spent up
on the pure and lofty principles of the
Christian religion.

loss of him, to know they have had such
a father, aud to remember and initiate
the virtues that have shone so long before
them, and to ascribe all to the influence
of that Divine grace which bestowed up
on him so much, and must now more
than ever sweeten and endear to them
every recollection of him. May the same
God guide them by his counsel and after
wards receive them to glory. Nor does
the lesson of Providence stop here to day.

Iron-Clad Men.

1t has been suggested to US, in view of
the improvements which are daily carried
out in iron-clad ships and batteries, that
the same principle might be applied to
their crews, or to infantry in the feld.--
Some steps have already been made in
this direction, and life-preserving vests
have been sold, we believe, in great num-
bers; why, then, can we not sheath the
human body SO that it will be perfectly
protected against rifle balls at least, and
yet, at the same time, preserve its elastic
ity and the activity unimpaired? The
force of bullet stopped in mid career,
would doubtless make the iron or steel
clad recipient wink, if it did not entirely
destroy the center of gravity, but we
think most of all our sharpshooters
would gladly exchange the possibility of
being stunned or eyon stricken senseless
for time. for the certainty of being kill
ed outright without such protection
The ancient men-at-arms and Knight
Templars, wore suits of mail, but they
wore down both horse and rider, and had
to be abandoned. Let some ingenious
person invent a complete personal pro-
lection, and he will assuredly reap his

A Proper Rebuke.

ly after the arrival of Col. A. j. Hamilton
in that city, as n refugee from Texas, he
called on client, where he was intro
duced to a wel[known Chambers street
dry goods iobber, who has losethe savings
of his life by his Southern debtors, but
who has ever bowed low to the shrine OF
slavery, and now, it is said, labors under
the delusion that, by his abuse to the
Government and Republicans generally,
he will be a favored creditor, and collect
what he has due to him. Mistaking
Hamilton's true loyalty he thought he
would be pleased with his staple slang,
and said s'that abolitionists had brought
about the war''-that Lincoln and STAN
ton were incompetent, etc, ETC.. when
Hamilton interrupted him and gently
putting his hand upon his shoulder, asked,
my friend, are you true, loyal man :"

Day the people of our quiet town Farm,

and one of the most efficient instrument
talities in sustaining the present rebel
lion. -. .'a

plague-spot of slavery. s.. i. ...- r-.
Resolved 5th.-That We endorse the
Administration in the prosecution of the

EIGHTEEN SIXTY-TWO.

The old year, old Eighteen Sixty-Two,
The arbiter of many hope and fear.
Old Time has superseded; and the new
Is Eighteen sixty three, the passing year.
II matters not how many hopes have died
How many brave men fell around our flag
How many Traitors lurk on every side
1t matters not. Old Time will never lag.
Eventful year old Sixty-two has been
More bloody Battle-felds and more CORY graves
More heroes and more superseded men,
More Traitors TO their Country and less slaves
Thus Sixty-two has passed midst hope and fear,
And still brave hearts struggling for the Right
And still we live. and hope the pa ssing year
Will break the gloom and usher in the light.
Yes still the brave though weary soldiers toll,
For peace and freedom, for our Land once more,
And hope to drive foul treason from our soil
Before the ushering in Of Si1ty-four.
Then don I forget the soldier in the field
But let your aid and sympathy be given,
And while ihe fights, and bleeds and never yields
Send up your earnest prayers in faith to Heaven

FUNERAL HYMN.

How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast
lis like the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their last
And now, above the dews Of night.
The yellow star appears;
So faith springs in the hearts of those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears
But soon the mornings happier light
Its glory shall restore,
And eyelids that are sealed in death
Shall wake to close no more.

DIRGE FOR A SOLDIER.

Close his eyes; his work is done
What to him is friend or foeman,
Rise of moon. or set of sun,
Hand of man, or kiss of woman?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snOwl
What cares he 2 he cannot know /:
Lay him low.
As man may. he fought his fight,
Proved his truth by his endeavor:
Let him sleep. in solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snowi
What cares he? 4? he cannot know
Lay him low
Fold him in his cOuntry's stars,
Roll the drum and fire the yOlleyl
What to him are all our wars,
What but death bemocking follyg
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow
What cares he ? he cannot know:
Lay him low
Leave him to Gods watching eye,
Trust him TO the hand that made him.
Mortal love weeps idly by:
God alone has power to aid him.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow?
What cares he he cannot know:
Lay him low.
