A Prayer for Peace.

BY LADY.
Our slky's o'erspread with gloomy clouds,
our sun his light
Has h'd. Tie stars grow dim which Tuned
our banners bright,
Our hearts are.worn with bitter grief,
our eyes with tears ..
Grow dim. All! bitterly we weep,
Yet no one hears.
To Thee Great God, we lift our hearts,
To Thee we cry;
Thou will not turn away from us,
Nor scorn the sigh
OF many hearts bowed down with grief,
And pain ana care;
Thou wilt not Scorn our simple prayer,
Oh, Thou wilt hear
Give Thou us peace, Almighty God,
oh give us peace;
Bend low Thine eur and hear our prayer,
And grant release .......... -.
From this dark cloud that shrouds our heart
In fear and gloom,
Stretch forth Thy mighty arm and stay
The threatning doom.
Hear Thou, oh, God the mothers wall
For her first born,
Who now, in fancy, She beholds
Bleeding and torn,
Upon the bloody battle ground,
With blood OF those whom they have loved
In days of yore.
Hear Thou, Oh, God in mercy hear
The widows moan,
The orphans cry for bread Do Thou
Avert the doom.
Father, none but Thine arm us can release,
Put forth Thy mighty power, q, God!
And give us Peace. VI. NJ.

A groan heard by our ear is very differ
ent thing to us from groun uttered by our
mouth. The sorrows of others seem to us
like clouds that empty themselves in the
distance, but our own troubles like storm
bursting right overhead, KIN .'... .

Cure for SPAWN.

Add two tablespoonfuls of melted lard,
one of cantherides, made fine orpulverized,
and lump of corrosive s1blimate as large
as pea-melted up to gether, and applied
once day till used up, eonfning it to the
callous. This quantity is for one leg, and
may be relied on as cure, 1t will make q
sore, and the joint will be much weakened
while applying the medicine, No need ol
alarm; it will be right when healed up.
Some hearts, like primroses, open mos
beautifully in the shadows of life.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
RALEIGH, Dec. 80, 1863.
His Eccela,cy President DariS:
DEAR Sir
After careful consideration of all the
sources of discomfort in North Carolina, |
have concluded that it will be impossible to
remove it except by making some effort at
negotiation with the enemy. The recent
action of the Federal House of Represent
atives, though meaning very little, has
greatly excited the public hope that the
North is looking toward peace. | am prom
lsed by men who advocate the course that,
if fair terms are rejected, it will tend great
ly to strengthen and intensity the war feel
ing, and will rally all classes to Il more cor
dial support Of the Government And, al
though our position is well known as de-
manding only to be let alone, yet it seems
to me, for the sake of humanity, without
having any weak or improper motives at
trlbuted to us, we might, with propriety,
constantly tender negotiations. In doing
so, we would keep conspicuously before the
world disclaimer of the responsibility tol
the great slaughter of our race, and con
vince the humber of our citzens--whC
sometimes forget the actual situation-that
the government is tender of their lives and
happiness. and would not prolong their sut,
ferings lece s>;rily on moment Though
statcsmcn might regard this as useless, the
people will not, and | think our cause will
be strengthened thereby, l have not sug-
gested the method of these negotiations or
their terms. The effort to obtain peace is
the principal matter.
Allow me to beg your earnest considera-
ton Of this suggestion.
With great respect,
s. b. VANCE.
