Two Remedies Left for the South

The Richmond Wing, of August 2lst says:
The loss of Vcksburg and the failure at
Gettysburg are the two great events OF the
year, which seem to render highly probable
n long and almost indefinite continuance of
the war.
Apart from the victories we may achieve
in the field there are but two means Ct coun-
teracting the bancful effects Of these events
and bringing hostilities to an early close
These are either foreign intervention or a de-
termined resistance by the conservative
masses of the North to the abolition faction
which has control Of the Government at
Washington.
A long and protracted war would provo
great evil, wholly unmixed with sood-f"r
the longer the war continues the more thor
ouchly saturated tho whole Southern heart
would become with the whole Yankee race
and institutions. We want the aid Of Francs
We are able to pay for il. let us do IT,
We shall then have peace or the power t.
wreack q rich vcnsauco on our foul ios.

A Story about the Gar.

A Berlin paper relates another one OF
those curious incidents which occurred
to parsonage of much higher impor-
tance than even an Ambassador of
a great Queen. The present Emperor
OF Russia, during the last year, was trav-
cling in the interior of his Empire,
when he arrived at little village almost
exclusively inhabited by Jews, who re-
ceived him with great respect. An old
man, with q white j ard reaching nearly
to his waist, and wearing military dec
oration, struck the Emperor's attention.
The Gar INQUIRED the name of the man,
and found TT he was an old soldier
named EIblatt, who was considered a
moEg his people as aln ,st saint. He
never touched animal food, and Cor fifty
years had eaten 'thing but bread and
onio :, using tea as hi usual drink
The Emperor had him called. and asked
him how he had obtained his decoration.
Elblatt replied that Souwarrow had CIV
en- it - him.
Have you ever been wounded 2 asked
the Gar.
The Spirit of Evil has no power over
me, said the old man. have been Of
ten at the very points of the battle field
on which the bullets ruined, and no hair
of my head has ever been touched.
The Emperor smiled, and said, They
tell me that you can look into futurity.
Shall | reign a long time? Will be
fortunate.
You will not reign as long as your
father; but will die happier than he did.
Your father was always happy until
great blow broke his heart. You will
have much trou BILE in your life. but your
end will not be so full of sorrow.
The Emperor grew serious, and said,
explain yourself more clearly.
Before the end of one year, continued
the soothsayer, your Empire will be as
sea of fire, and you will struggle in vain
to cxtinguish it. Three great Powers
will make war against you. but that will
not depress you. What will be still
worse than that, your people will rise
against you.
After remaing for some time absorbed
in reflection, the Emperor added, If you
speak truly give me proof of the reali-
ity of your predictions.
Man has no right to put God to the
test; but that you may know the truth
of my words, listen. In an hour mes
scnger will come to you in haste to an
nounce that an attempt has been made
to assass;nate ono Of the most Jealous
of your servants, but that the blow has
been happily turned aside. Do not put
any faith in this tale it is only invented
to excite you against your subjects
The Gar dismissed the old man. It
was then IL o'clock in the morning. At
II O'Clock precisely messenger arrived
bringing the news of the attempt against
the life of the Marquis Wielopolki.
How am to know the truth of this ?
cried the Emperor. Let the old Jew be
brought to me again.
He commanded in vain. During the
hour which had just passed the man had
been struck with apoplexy, and the mes
senger of the Gar found only his dead
body. ... ......... ...'... ... 4

Always Went ID ubled Charged.

A good story is told of one George
Shafcr, who many years ago, lived in
Porthmouth. Once he had been to
Newcastle, cunning, and was coming
with his game bag empty. and weary,
when he stopped at the dollhouse for a
moments rest. Says he to the toll-kcep-
cr:.
There's fine lot of ducks back here
in the pond; what will you let me fire
in to them for? .....-
Can't do it, responded the toll-man.
l don't want to have my ducks killed.
George put his gun in the toll house,
and walked back to take another look at
the ducks. When he was gone, the toll
man, who was wag, drew the shot from
the barrel, and then replaced the gun.
George returned, and then renewed the
question.
Well, said the toll.man, though you
are good shot, 1 don't believe you
could hurt them much. Give me d l.
lar, and you may fire.
The dollar was paid, and quite par
ty, who had gathered round, went back
to witness Georges discontinue. He
raised his gun, fred and killed nine of
them.

How A LOVe-Sick Youth was cured,

Mrs. - was very pretty widow OF
twenty-eight, left rich by her husband, a re-
spectacle and wealthy farmer of s., in
the country of Oak land who judiciously died
at the age of fifty. D. signing
swain of twenty, fell In 1--we with this..char-
ming widow during school vacation, and
was thereby distracted from study and near
y frantic. His father, who designed him
for the ministry had a peculiar horror Of
the sweet widow, whom he regarded as little
better than one of tho wicked; her black
eyes, her heaving bosom and elastic tread,
were to him only the symbols Of old Nick.
He was in despair; and in despair he visited
the widow, and besought of her, il she had
a particle of mercy, not to ruin his son. In
vain the widow protested that she had used
no arts,-had only seen the youth few
times; and was entirely Indifferent to him
the father still insisted, and the pretty wid-
ow promised that if the boy came again to
sec her it should be his last visit. Not ma.
ny days elapsed tefore the enamored youth
made his arrangements for visit, Of which
the widow had notice.
The previous interview between them took
place under circumstances peculiarly favo-
rable to romance and sentiment, upon moon
light walks or parlor tete-a-tetes. This time
the timid youth was told upon his arrival
that Mrs was at the barn; whittier he
went, and found his beau ideal, with skirts
knee high, dressed in mans boots, and
covered with mans hat pipe in her
mouth, mug of cider in her had, superin-
tending her men-KILLIEa HOGS. lie never

STANZAS.

WHEN weared in a faithless world
Who would not wish to soar
And seek, beyond the gems of night
Some more congeEial shore?
Where all is change; no lasting joys
Can crown the gayest hours;
The dearest hopes despair alloys,
And fades the fairest flowers.
Where formal friendships fade so soon,
There love is but a ray,
That nc'er dispels the cloud above;
Nor warns lfe's wintry day.
'Tis but CLEAN, dazzling CLEAN,
Athwart the path of life,
Which but illumes our sorrows here,
To leave darker strife
But tolls no more-life's sorrows done
The aching heart at rest.
The sinless soul shall find home,
Afar amid the blcst;
Then hope no more, with syrcn tongue
Shall sing of ideal bliss;
For there forgot, in that fair land /;
Will be the cares of this.
