When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
- And the school for the day is dismissed,
Thelitte ones gather around me
To bid me good night and be kissed;
" the little white arms that encircle
Ny neck, in their tender embrace,
CT o! the smiles that are haIos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of loyc on my face.
And when they are gone, sit dreaming
q gfmy childhood, too lovely to last
0flove that my heart will remember
While it wakes to the pulse of the past
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
a partner Of sorrow and sin;
When the glory of God was about me,
/. Is, -And the glory of gIadness within.
20! my heart grows as weak as a womans,
=. And the fount of my feelings will flow,
When think Of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must 90;
Of the mountains of sin hanging DER them
Ofthe tempests of Fate blowing wild,
o. there's nothing on earth half 50 holy,
As the innocent heart of child
They are idols Of hearts and of households
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleers in their tresses;
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes:
o! those truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild;
And know, now, how Jesus could likcn
The kingdom Of God to Il child.
ask not life for the dear one
all radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun;
1 would pray God to guard them from evil,
But my prayers woulI bound back to myself.
All! a seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray :or himself.
The twig is so easily Bonded
have banished the rule and the rod;
have taught them the goodness of knowledge
They have taught me the goodness Of God;
My heart is a dungeon of darkness
Where l shut them for breaking rule,
Ny frown is sufficient correction,
My love is the law of the school.
1 shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its Threshold no more;
An!how shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door
] shall miss the ':good-nights1 and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glec,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning for me.
shall miss them at morn and at eve
Their song in the school and the street;
shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
When the lessons of life are all ended,
And death says, ''The school Is dismissed!'
May the little one gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed.

DIR. JOHN BULLS
COMPOUND GEDRON BITTERS,
The Latest and Most Important Discovery
of the Ninetee 18th Century.

MO MANS NAME Is MORE INTIMATELY
~ connected with The history Of the Matcria
Medica of the United States, or more favorably
known a pioneer in medical discovery, than
that Of JOHN BULL, ofLouisvillc, Ky. His in
imitablc preparation of Sarsap arlla has long
stood nj the head of the various compounds OF
that valuable drug. His compound Pccloral OF
Wild Cherry has become household word
throughout the West and South; and his Worm
Lozenges, in less than year after their intro
duction, attained u reputation widespread as
the continent of North America. But the crown
ing glory of his life remains to be attained in his
latest discovery, rather combination, for he
does not claim to have been the discoverer of
CEDRON, which is the basis of the Bittcrs now
offered to the public. That honor belongs to the
native inhabitants of Central America, to whom
its virtues have been known for mere than two
hundred years. Armed with it, the Indian bids
defiance to the most deadly malaria, and handles
without fear the most venomous serpents. 1t is
a belief with them that while there is breath left
in the body the CedrOn is potent to cure, no mat
tet " hat the disease may be.
While DR.. Bull is not prepared to udorse this
eXtravagant prctcnsIOn, he is nevertheless salts
fed from Il thorough examination ofthe evidence
relating to its virtues, that as a remedy nd
preventive for all diseases arisin, from exposure
either to changes of weather and climate or to
the miasmatic influences, it stands without q
rival and justly deserves the reputation it has
so long enjoyed in Central America and the West

writer says Texas is in Furnishing condi-

into the country during the war that labor

ARREST OF SUSPECTED PARTIES.
A Former Denizen Of Fort
Lafayette Implicated.
4 woMAN IN TIE CASE.

The news embraced n the 'a oned reports is
th. most startling tnat we bav', perhaps, ever
been called upon % record. will be seen tha.
arCculary organized at,emp Ire the city was
last night made and only by Juo exercise OF tne
greatest energy was rendered wholly gbortive.
No less thln ten or a dozen OF che leading hotels
and other large buildings Were fred between he
hours of9 aull2 o'clock and by .hese acts an I'M
mense amount Of lie and property was put in
jeopardy. Fortunately the ire were not simul-
taneOus, and att,r lAe discovery Of three or four
attempts bad been made 2, carry the fearful plot
into execution, the detective ro.ice obtained suf-
fcicn: knowledge OF yl2 a0lIr .b lead TO the con
clusion that wholesale con grafton was imni-
nent, and accordingly eNUt glauce was ex-
erred by the police and Fire d lrment and ths
late fires were eNtiugushsd almost Immediately
upon their breaking Oat. The tory OF the afro
Uous conspiracy soon spread .DOut the city, and
Tie greatest alarm was felt among the people,
The report reached the Academy of Music during
the third act OF the new opera, and caused excite
ment, but was hardly credited At about eleven
O'Clock the alarm seemed general in the lower
part oi the city, and the citizens searched their
premises carefully.
There were two theories as TO the meaning of
the plot-ior such ii undoubtedly was. One was
st0t the incendiares were also thieves, who hoped
10 p.ur der ana pillage during the excitement that
would certainly have followed the success Of
tler Efforts the otherWas that Rebel Organizl-
ton had concocted and entered upon the eXecu-
ton OF the outrage. The discovery Of a woman
nom Baltimore, whose movements were suspi-
Cous as viii be seen from the report Of her arrest
below seemed TO give a clue TO the mystery, and
favored the theory last mentioned
Ia every case the fires were proved TO be the
work OF ineendlaries, aud the similarity of the
work in all the instances left no doubt that one
head controlled the business. Had the cOnspi-
racy, or whatever we may call IL, succeeded 10
the extent evidently intended, half the city at
least might have been in ruins this morning.
Never in the history of the country S,as tbero
so alarming an affair developed in any commu-
nifty, and our citizens cannot congratulate them
selves too much on their provdential escape
from scene Of horrors actually sickening 70

SITUATION IN rHE SOUTHWEST.

Special Dcspatrh to The Eefriag TsIsyrapA.
WAsnINGToy, Nov. 26 Although nothing
has been received from Sherman which place;
his ultimate success beyond doubt, still he news
of yesterday and to-day, through Southern
sources, indicates that up to Monday last nothing
had occurred TO interrupt mis- progress On th3
contrary, leaving Macon on his right flank
guarded by Cobb's "men in buckram," +" he pushed
forward, and vas on Monday within eighteen
miles OF Millcdgeyille, the capital Of Georgia,
while his cavalry were IN his advance tearing 10
the railroad between Augusta AMI Atlantl aud
also that between Savannah and Macon.
Rebels acknowledge that thus far Sherman has
found plenty OF supplies along his route, aud .aa.
Lbc negroes are rapidly attaching themselves %
his army as pioneers Thus II results that the
slaves, whom JET. Davis would m Ike light the
battles OF the South, are giving 90 our invading
army every assistance IN their pOSyr, helping TO
clear and cpt roads, bringing supplies 70 our
troops, aud acting as sUiies, besides giving to our
corps commanders a crclt deal Of valuable in
formation. T. is evidently the design Of tue
Rebel leaders % allow sherman 20 further pene-
trate the State lOre they oppose his advance by
any military force which they may be able to
gather az Augusta and Savannah. As yet, how
ever, sherman has met with no opposition be-
yond the curses Of the country through which he
has passed, and the mllcliclous OF the Rich mond
editors.
The people Of Georgia have been thrown into
such a state Of fear by this grand demonstration
that they are perfectly paralyzed, and have cx-
cited the cOmmseration Of Beauregard, who is
now on his way to that State. 4 week ago, Fri
day, he left Hoods army, which was at Tuscum-
bia, Ala, preparing for a march into Middle
Tennessee. Upon the same day he reached
COrinth, in the northwestern corner of Mssis-
sippi, and issued an appeal to the people Of
Georgia, in which he promised soon to be with
thcm, and drive the invader from their soil. As
toon, however, as Beaurcgard left Hood, the lat
tel started on lis invasion Of Tennessee.
lie is now reported at Waynesboro, about
twenty miles north Of the Tennessee line and
seventy southwest Of Nashville. Thomas, how
ever, is upon his right flank and will doubtless
move ia good season on his rear. Hoods forces
do not number over thiry-fVc thousand men and
forty pieces Of artillery, while Thomas fully
equals him in strength. without reference to other
forces which We have IN the State. Thus the
campaigns Of the armies Of the Southwest have
fully begun, aud the time cannot long be delayed
before We hear Of victories of great importance to
our cause.
