The Gifts of the Gods.

rulu -I1.UH u.
The saying is wise though itsounds like a jest,
That "The gods don't allow us to be in their debt,
For though we may think we IRE specially blest,
We are certaLuto payfor the favors we get -
Are riches the boon. Nay, be not eIate ug
The final account isn't settled as yet ....-.rr.
Old Care has a mortgage on every estate, rs
And that's whatyou pay for the wealth thatyou get
Is Eonor the prize? 1t were easy to name
What sorrows and trials her pathway beset
Grim Hate and DetractOn accompanying Fame,
And that's what you pay for the honor you get
Is learning treasure, how charming the pair,
When talent and culture are charmingly met;
But labor uneeasing is grievOus to Bear, i.
And that's what you pay for the leaning yon get.
Is Genius worth having p Thore isn't doubt 1l
Ard set what a price on the blessing is set--' -
To suffer more with II than Ounces without,
For that's what You pay for the genius you get
Is Beautva Blessing? To have it for nought
The gods nevor grantto thehVeriest pet !; eat Z
Pale Envy reminds youthe jewel is bought,
And that's what You pay FOR the beauty you get.
But pleasures? Alas !-how prolific of pain -5
Gay pleasure is followed by gloomy Regret; i-
And often Repentance is OF Of her train,
And that's what yOn pay for the pleasure you get
But sureyin Friendship we may all secure r r-
An excellent gift; never doubt it-and yet
With much to enjoy there is much to endure, %
And that's whatwe pay for the friendship we get
But then there is love? Nay, speak not too soon
The foEdest of hearts may have reason to fret
For Fear and Bereavement attend on the boon,
And that's what VIC pay for the love that we get
And thus it appears, though it sounds like jest
The gods don't allow us to be in their debt;
And though we may think we are specially best,
We are sure to payfor whatever get!l al aa

SWAPPING CHILDREN.-some time ago the
wife of penitentiary convict traded of her
little daughter with family residing near
this city, for q couple of dresses. When the
husband was released from the penitentiary,
few months ago, he got out writ of ha5sas
corpus and obtained possession of the child.
The family from whom the child was taken
had become very much attached te her and
felt the loss of her very much. Mr.. Craw,
sheriff at the time, executed the writ and re-
ceived fierce exeeratiOns from the tongue Of
the woman. Yesterday Mr.. Craw saw the
woman going towards the courthouse, lead
ing little boy by the hand. In reply to bis
interrogatory as to where she was going she
said she had got the boy to exchange for the
girl that had been taken away from her. She
wanted to see Judgo Tilden, she said, and
make a trade for the girl. We don't know
how successful she was in making the some
what novel barter, but suspect that she did
not effect the "sWsp."

FROM MURFREEsBORO'.
Review of OaValry--POsitiOn Of
the Armies--Hospitals.
MURFREEsBORO', March II

MURFREEsBoRO, March IL.
Major General Stanley's entire division
Of cavalry was reviewed to-day by the
commander. The review was a brilliant
and imposing spectacle. The troops per-
formed the eVOlutions incident to such an
occasion in the most faultIess and crafty
ing manner. The appearance of General
ROsecrans and staff upon the field was
hailed with enthusiastic delight by the
soldiers.
From Vicksburg we have no definite OF
reliable information. There is no end to
the rumOrs respecting the evacuation Of
that stronghold, which, however, are ex-
ceedingly vague and unreliable. The army
here is watching with intense anxiety the
daily reports from Vioksburg, for the sue
cess of their campaign depends in no
small degree upon the result of the siege
of that place.
The hospitals here are to beimmediately
cleared, and every soldier who, during the
last ten days, has been reported unfit for
duty, will be sent to some general hospital.
Small parties of the enemy seem to be
feeling around our lines, and Van Dorm is
reported again on this side of Duck river,
in the vicinity Of Chapel Hill; but there
is some faith in the rumor that the rebels
are falling back from shelbyville and
TullahOma. The weather is clear and
beautiful

MURDocH's READINGS THIS EVENING
There seems to be great rush for tickets to
this brilliant entertainment. The few re-
served seats will of course be taken at once,
this morning at ten O'Clock, and persons
who are particular about this had better
be on hand. A large number of additional
chairs are being carried in to-day, so that
the audience, however great, will be we'll pro-
vided for in this respect.
We suppose it is understood that the entire
ayails of the evenings entertainment go to
the Aid Society here, Mr.. Murdoch accept
ing no compensation in any way for his SER
vices. This is Of course great saving to the
Society, and all this is gratifying, for we IN
derstand that much the larger part of the
funds realized from the tableaux had to be at
once paid out for debts the Society had been
obliged to make in the purchase of Aannels
and other materials to be made up to meet
the pressing demands of the season.
We advise all to be on hand early. The
whole entertainment will doubtless be one of
the most brilliant that our citizens have
ever attended.

FESTIVAL AT PARNA.-Eoitors Leader The
public will excuse US we doubt not, in this
instance, for telling our right hand what our
left has done; although we do it not to boast,
yet we feel proud. satisfaction that in doing
what we could, We may hope it will be awarded
to US that we have in a small way done well.
The Ladies Mite Society of West Parma, in
their anxiety to do something more for our
sick and wounded soldiers than they could do
in their ordinary course, concluded to have a
festival especially for their benefit Accord
ingIy on tho 5th inst, they met with their
friends to partake of supper which they
had provided, to spend an evening in social
converse, and above all, to attend to the main
thing, viz: to make contribution from the
abundance which good God had lavished
upon US, for the comfort q those who at pres
ent are both SO worthy and so needy. We
are happy to say that the svails of our sup
per, together with some side entertainments
gotten up by the younger members, after
paying expenses, was eighty eight dollars
and fifty cents. There being a large amount
Of luxuries left untasted, the same were
packed and conveyed the next day to the u
S. Hospital at Cleveland, whe-e they were
gladly received by the matron for the inmates
Of that institution. J. NJ. C., Sec'y pro ten.
