GREAT INFLUENcE OF LITTLE THINGs.-The

four lines for his little child. His name has

The Skeleton.

Behold this ruin Twas skull,
Once Of ethere.l spirit full.
This narrow cell was life s retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious scat /;
What beauteous visions filled this spot
What dreams Of pleasure long forgot!
Nor Hope nor Love, nor JOY, nor Fear,
Have left one trace or record here.
Beneath this Wondering canopy
Cnce shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
If social Love that eye employed;
If with no lawless fire it CLEANED,
But through the dews of kindness beamed.
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready swift and tuneful tongue.
If Falsehood's honey it disdained,
And where it could not praise, was chained (;
If boldin virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle Concord never broke
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When Time unveils Eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine7
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of Truth they sought,
Or comfort TO the moumer brought,
These hands richer need shall claim,
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
These feet the paths of duty trOd ?
If from the bowers of Ease they fed,
To seek affiictiOn's humble shed,
If GraIdCuI's guilty bribe they spurHed,
And home to Virtues cot returned,
These feet with Angels wings shall vie,
And tread the palace Of the sky.

SCoTCH REBELLIoNs.--There have been
more rebelions in Scotland than in any
other country; and the rebelions have been
very sanguinary, as well as very numerous.
The Scotch have made war upon most oi
their kings, and put 10 death many. To
mention their treatment Of single dynasty,
they murdered James l. and james Ill
They rebelled against James H. and James
VII. They laid hold of James V. and placed
him in confinement Mary they immured
in a castle, and afterward deposed Her
successor, James VI they imprisoned; they
led him captive about the country, and on
one occasion attempted his life Towards
Charles l. they showed the greatest animosi-
ty and they were the first to restrain his
snad career. Three years before the Eng
sh ventured to rise against that despouc
prince, the Scotch boldly took up arms, and
made war on him. The service which they
rendered to the cause of liberty it would be
hard TO oVerrate but the singular part of
the transaction was, having afterwards got
possession of the person Of Charles, they
sold him to the English for very large sum
of money, of which they. being poor, had
much need Such a sale is unparalleled in
history and although the Scotch might
have plausibly alleged that this was the
only gain they had derived, or ever could de-
rive, from the existence of their hereditary
prince, still the event is one which stands
alone it was unprecedented it has never
been initiated and its occurrence is a
striking symptom of the state Of public
opinion and of the feeling of the country in
which it was permitted

If we would have life move on smooth

must indulge the friend we love in the lit

VIoKsBURG MATTERs.-COrrespondence
of the Missouri Democrat has the follow
ing from Vicksburg:
Albert Gallotin Brown, the colleague Of
jeff Davis in the United States Senate,
came to Snyder's Bluff July 9th, and took
the oath. He said lie had never believed
in secession, had never been a secessionist,
and had never been in favor Of rebellion
His wife, who was present, said his course
had ruined her. and there need be no fears
that he would act dislOyal in future. Brown
has been i'll with bloody fux, Of which he
was suffering at the time, and he was per-
mitted to return to his home.
The condition Of Gen. Pemberton is pit
liable in the extreme. His officers falsely
and meanly ascribe his misfortunes to all
sorts Of things, such as imbecility, &c,
while he, poor man, is nearly crazy, and
evinces in an unmistakable manner the hu-
initiation and anguish which he feels. He
keeps confined to his room, knd walks fran
tically all the time, tearing his hair and
giving all sorts Of evidence that he is an in
sane man. He was one of the few, as we
learn from an eye witness, who gave un-
mistakable manifestations Of repugnance to
taking the parole. His condition excites
the commisseration of all unbiased persons
at Vicksburg.

Mince Pies, VS.. Tracts.

We heard good story yesterday related
of a German who was confined in one OF
the hospitals at Nashville, which proves
conclusively that sick soldiers appreciate
food for the stomach more than food for
the mind
A rebel lady visited the hospital one
morning with negro servant, who carried
large basket on his arm, covered with
white linen cloth. She approached our
humane friend, and accosted him thus:
care you a good Union man :"
Il ish dat, was the laconic reply of the
German, at the same time casting a hope
ful glance at the aforesaid basket
THAT is all | want to know replied the
lady, and, beckoning the negro to follow,
she passed to the opposite side of the
room where a rebel soldier lay, and asked
him the same question, to which he very
promptly replied:
"Not by id sight
The lady thereupon uncovered the bas-
ket and laid out bottle of wine, mince
pies, pound cake, and other delicacies,
which were greedily deyoured in the pres
ence Of the Union soldiers who felt some
what indignant.
On the following morning, however, an
other lady made her appearance with
large covered basket, and she also accosted
our German friend, and desired to know if
he was Union man.
4 ish dat, by Got; no care what you
got l bese Union
The lady then set her basket on the ia
ble, ana our German friend thought that
;he truth availed in this case, if it did fail
in the other. But imagine the length Of
the poor fellows face when the lady un-
covered the basket and presented him with
about bushel of tracts He shook his
head dolefully and said
4 no read English, and peside. dat rebel
on to mother side Of te house need dem so
more as me
The lady distributed them and left.
Not long after, came another richly
dressed lady, who propounded the same
question again to our German friend. He
stood gazing at the basket, apparently at a
loss for a reply.
At length he answered her in Yankee
style, as follows:
BY Got, you no get me dis time vot
you got NIT de basketf
The lady required an unequivocal an
swer to her question, and was about to
move on, when our German friend shouted
out; t.r
IF you got tracts, 1 bese Union; but if
you got mince pie NIT pound cake unit vine,
I bese Secash like te tibel."
Sick soldiers have little desire to read
tracts when they are famished for the want
recovery of hospital patients. When our
ladies visit hospitals with tracts, we would
suggest the importance of accompanying
them with basket of provisions, and they
will be better appreciated.

THUR1ow WEED ON VALLANDIGHAM AND
PHILLIPS. .-Thurow Weed in a letter to
Phlo S. Shelton, says:
Detestable as was the course Of Valland-
igham, in and out Of Congress, | would have
allowed him TO rail on. But inasmuch as he
was arrested the President did quite right
in sending him into rebeldom where he be-
longs. But he did not do bis whole duty.
Phillips should have gone with the Ohio dis
uionisis, for both are disloyal, the Massachu-
setts man being the most mischievous. Had
both been sent to Dixie, there would have
been ''no lamentations here or elsewhere
that any honest man should regret"

The Views of Ex-president Pierce.


Ex-President Franklin Pierce has all
along been rated with the opponents of the
Administration and its war policy, but has
not, until a late occasion, plainly and public
ly enunciated his views. At a large Demo-
cratic meeting, held on the 4th of july at
Concord, New Hampshire, he was called on
to preside. The report thus runs
Upon taking the chair, he commenced by
alluding to the day whose anniversary was
Gel -brated, and to tie Union and the Con
stitution, eulogizing the wisdom and mod
Grafton Of those who formed them both
who formed practicable government, and
not a mere Utopan fancy He then lamen-
ted the present calamity Of the times, when
instead of war against fol eign foe, the
country was plunged into domestic dissen-
sons This, he said was caused 10y the
vicious intermeddling Of too many Of the
citizens Of the Northern States with the con
situtional rights Of the Southern States,
and the discontented people Of the Southern
States then co-Operated with the mtermed-
dlers in the Northern States causing TO-,
tai disregard Of the Constitution by both.
After speaking further of this disregard of
the Constitution, and its effects al the seal
Of war, he concluded as follows Even
here in the loyal States tue mailed hand of
military usurpation strikes down the lber-
ties Of the people, and its foot tramples on a
desecrated Constitution. Applause. II
Even here in these free and Independent
States, it is made criminal for citizen sol
der, like the gallant Edgerly, Of New
Hampshire, to vote according to bis con-
science or ike that martyr Of free speech,
c. l.. Vallandigham, to discuss public affairs
in Ohio. Loud applause. Ay, even here,
the temporary agents Of the sovereign poo
ple-the transitory administrators Of the
Government--tel US that in time Of war
the mere arbitrary will Of the President is
sufficient for us, and that we must obey it.
The President himself announces 10 ms that
it is reasonable to speak or to write other
wise than as he may prescribe. Mr. Pierce
here quoted from President Lincoln to the
Hon. E. Corning as bis authority for this
statement Mr.. Pierce concluded his speech
by nrging moderation and a strict regard
for all constitutional rights. He could not
but believe that all the States would one
day be again united. lie amented the ca
