BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcr.-When tho sum.
mer of yonth is slowly wasting into the
nigbtfall of age. and the shadows of the past
year grow deeper as if life were on it's close,
II is pleasau. to look back upon the vista OF
time, upon the SORROWS and felcities OF
years. If We have homo to shelter us,
and friends have been gath cred together by
our iiIeside, then the rough places of way
faring will have been worn and smoothed
away in the twilight OF life, while the sunny
spots We nave passed. through will grow
brighter and more beautiful. Happy in.
deed are those whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the tone of their ho
lier feelings. or broken those musical chords
of the heart, whose vibrations are so melo
dious, SO touching to the evening of age.

WAITING FOR ME.

We have seldom seen three more exquis.
ito pictures than are represented in tho fol-
lowing short poem. We do not know the
author:
There is form of girlish mould,
Under the spread of the branches old
At the we'll known beechen treo,
With the sunset lighting her tresses Of gold,
And the breezss waving them, fold upon
fold,
Waiting for mo.
There is sweet voice, with cadence deep.
OF ono who siuge.h our babe asleep,
And often turns to 500
How tho stars through tho lattice begin to
peep,
And watches tho lazy dial creep,
Waiting fer me.
Long since those locks are laid in tho cay
Long since that voice has passed away,
Cn earth no more to be-;
But still in the spirit world afar
She is the dearest of those that arc
Waiting for me.

Our Washington Correspondence.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. 18th. 1868.
The past week has boon one of vastly
greater speculation in the purleus of poll.
tics, and "nows pots" of this city. than any
preceding one for this many q day. Leo's
movements, ever suspicious and suggestive.
have been here the theme of a thousand
tongues, and the knowing ones who had
him. with vast columns. marching again in.
to Pennsylvania. are driven to find solace
in the most updoubted fact that his "serried
incs of bronzed veterans" G are moving in
the haste of desperation to rescue Bragg
from the Furnishing hands of Rosecrans and
Burnside, and to give hope once again to
Beauregard, by increasing his effective force
before and around Charleston. Our ro-
copnoitering forces under Fitzpatrick and
Pleasanton have discovered the withdrawal
of the forces of Lees Army, and our whole
lines are again in column and advancing.
A most active and decisive campaign has,
at last, commenced, and great and mo.
mentous results arc sanguinely expected,
and must grow out of our superb combina.
,ions against tho Rebel force, waveripg and
ready to fall into tho bands of our brave
boys at Charleston. Lees forces scattered
and East Tennessee redeemed, and the in.
satiate vandals of Bragg and Buckner fleeing
before the advancing massos of disciplined
loyalists of Rosecrans and Burnside!
The President has declined to accept tbt
resignation of the gallant Burnside, which
was rendered the moment that he hat
cleared Tennessee of the Rebel herds, apt
restored it's suffering citizens to the cart
aud protection of their legitimate Govern
ment, and redeemed the disaster of Fred
ericksburg
Every day brings fresh evidences of so
rious complications with the "Napoleon

OH DO NOT LOOK so BRIGHT AND

oh, do not look SO bright and blest,
For still there comes fear,
Whom brow like thine looks hsppiest,
That griet is then m ost near.
There turks dread 10 oil delight,
A shadow near each ray,
That warns us then to fear their fight,
When most We wish their stay.
Then look thou not go bright aud blest,
For, sh there comes a fear,
When brow like tbino looks happiess,
That grief is then most near.
Why is 1t thus that fairest things
The soonest fleet aud die ?
Then when most light is on their wings,
They're then but spread to fly
And, sadder still, the pain will stay
Tho bliss no more appears;
As rainbows take their flight away,
And leave US but thcir toars
Then look not thou so bright aud blest,
For, ah there comes fear,
When brow like thine looks bappiest,

The following letter was written by an
old friend to u young lady on tho eve of her

CHATTANOOGA.

Tho city of Chattanooga used to contain
about 5 600 inhabitants, four or five church
es, fivo hotels, two printing Offices. bank
number of very fine residences, &c. 1t ia
in Hamilton county, Tenn, just north ol
the dividing line between that State and
Georgia. situated on the left bank of the
Tennessee river. and is the northern termi.
nus Of which is Atlanta. Georgia. 1t is also
the eastern terminus of the Nashville aud
Chattanooga Railroad, and forms the angu-
lar connection with the limo of railroad from
Charleston, s. O.. to Memphis. Tenn. 1t is
one hundred and fifty lone miles from Nash.
vile, four hundred and thirty-two miles
from Savannah, and four hundred and for.
ty-seven from Charleston. .
The city is situated on high bluff over.
looking the rushing waters of the Tennes
SEQ river. which at this point spreads out te
greater extent than at many othors in the
vicinity. Being the terminus of two i'm
portant roads, and the most prominent
point on another (the Charleston and Mem.
phis.) it became the most available place
where the rolling stock of all could be re.
paired and new stock manufactured. Hence,
were established hero numerous machine
shops. foundries, &C., which up to the oui.
break of the rebellion, were doing a thriving
business, and contributing in great meas.
ure to the advancement and prosperity o
the place.

Power of the VIII.

There is kind o: philosophy, or which
may be called moral force. which often
enables men to live above disease, and sur.
vive for many years. ravages on the consti
tuition. which, preying upon persons of loss
strength of mind, would hurry them to tho
grave in very short time. We remember
to have heard Of a neighbour 10 carly youth
named Hume. He was great miser, and
very rich He was apparently at the point
of death. All bis broad ard fertile acres
had boon disposed of, and be ceased to dic
tato to his la~per, who, knowing he had q
large amount of silver and gold in his house.
said 10 him aftor a pause: "Well, MIR.
Humo, what disposition will you make of
your money p MY money do you OK
pect me to give aw.y my money too ? ]
will not do it )" and summoning to himself
what, under the circumstances, seemed to
be a superhuman energy, he rose from his
bed, dressed hmsolf, broke the spell of dis.
case, and lived somo years afterward, 10 ad
vocate the ma king Of tin hats, as they would
not soon wear out.
Of two persons having consumption, with
apparently equal chances of life, the man
who abandons bimsolf to his fate. hugs the
fire, and is afraid to stir out of doors lest he
should take cold, inevitably dies in shor
time; the other, having force of character
indomitable determination, and truer phi
losopby, considers that life is worth striving
for, that he can but die anyhow, and, braviut
all winds and weather, fights coursgoousl.
against his malady, and lives to bo an ole
man. 30 ii is in some forms of para!ysi

exercise of true philosophy is manifested
