AN UNCONDITIONAL PARDON. The n Y. Alba
ny Argus, speaking Of the surrender of Lees ar
my, and the consequences of such action on its
members, forcibly says:
The parole extended to the Confederate Off
GERS and troops is complete amnesty in its
terms, for political well as military offences.
"Each officer and man will be allowed to return
to their homes, and not to be disturbed by the
United States authority so long as they observe
their parole and the laws in force where they
may reside" With this guaranty Lee and his
associates Of his army are protected against any
trial for treason or any proceeding for confsca-
ton, though doubtless the civil and political
authorities may question the power Of the Lieu
tenant-General to grant such an amnesty. Mar
shall Ney claimed protection under the terms Of
the capitulaton of Paris, but was prescribed by
the Bourbons tried by the military commission,
and shot in the gardens of the Luxembourg
But this act was denounced throughout Europe
as an assassination and the guilt of it hung upon
and weighed down the returning dynasty through
allits reign.

Far Away.
Upon the shore
OF evermOre

Upon the shore
OF evermore
We sport like children at their play;
And gather shells
Where sinks and swells
The mighty sea from tar away.
Upon that beach,
Nor voice nor speech
Doth things intelligibly say;
But through our souls
whisper rolls
That comes to us from far away.
Into our ears
The voice of years
Comes deeper, deeper, day by day;
We stoop to hear,
As it draws near,
Its awfulness from far away,
At whatittells
We drop the shells,
We were so full of yesterday,
And pick no more
Upon that shore,
But dream of brighter far away.
And DER that tide
Far out and wide,
The yearnings of our souls do stray;
We long to 60
We do not know
Where it may be, but far away.
The mighty deep
Doth slowly creep
Upon the shore where we did play
The very sand
Where we did stand
moment since, swept far away.
Our playmates all,
Beyond our call,
Are passing hence as we too may,
Unto that shore
Of evermore,
Beyond the boundless far away.
Well trust the wave,
And Him to save,
Beneath whose feet as marble lay
The rolling deep,
For he can keep
Our souls in that dim far away.

All Mankind are BARRIERS.


All Mankind are BARRIERS.
Ill prove to you, my friend, hope,
That none doubt can harbOr,
That all the worlds barber shop,
And every ones barber.
Some shave to make themselves look neat,
And some because It's funny
And brokers shave you in the street,
And only shave for money.
Some shave their foreheads slick and clean,
And with low heads are bothered
But then tits plainly to be seen
That they're the ones that lathered.
To court girl with eloquence,
The dandy never frets her;
But athers her with compliments,
And shaves her when he gets her.
The maidens, also, now and then,
Who are so fond of sporting,
Soft soap the shallow minded men
And shave 'em while they're courting.
But men and girls who thus will boast
OF soaping while they tarried,
VIII find at last, with bitter cost,
That both got shaved when married.

whnt some People Have Believed.

The ancient Persians believed in three gods,
the greatest of which was Ormnzzi, who made a
perfect man with giant head. An infinite dis
tress caused his monstrous, head to burst with
terrible anguish, when out stepped beautiful
woman, the head shrank to a natural size, and
they became the first man and wife. The Greeks
believed the beautiful Minerva sprang from the
head of Jupiter.
The ancient Hindoos believed a monstrous
serpent coiled upon the ocean. On him Vishu
slept for long ages in inactivity and died. Out
of his departing life Bramah arose; who created
man by the simple act of wishing.
The ancient Syrians believed somewhere in
their country was beautiful garden into which
God came one night and gathered particles of
all kinds of dust, with which to make a man.
He fashioned him after his own image When
sufficiently dry to be handled without defacing,
he placed himself mouth to mouth, hands to
hands and feet to feet, and impaired life to the
image Sleep had possession of the man. The
god drew glittering blade from his girdle, and
with infnite quickness, took bone (of the two
hundred and forty-eight bones) from near the
heart, and placing the requisite female depend
ences around it, gave it to the man to become
his wife.
The Aztecs believed that princess, being Of
Tended al her husband, obtained leave Of Deity
to depart from Paradise on condition that she
on her long and perilous journey. When once
in sight of the EARTH she drew from her girdle a
knife glittering with diamonds, and hurled it
against the planet, breaking it into twelve pie
ces, which Immediately resolved themselves in
to six knights and six princesses, from which
sprang six races of men.
The ancient Egyptians believed two gods de-
scended from the sun and alighted on the flow
cry banks of a beautiful lake on a pleasant morn
ing, and planted the germ of a lows plant, each
kissing it on opposite sides. The plant grew
and rpened its fruits The legumes burst, and
a beautiful man and woman, like the ripe corn
from the husks, stepped forth in spontaneous
marriage.
The Asiatics, of Egyptian descent, believed in
the center of a watery Universe existed the
Divine Power, which slowly and silently, for
ages, collected a transparent she'll about him in
which he slept On awakening, by his own en-
ergies, he burst the shell and arose to the sur
face, an immense turtle, covering millions of
acres. lie again burst his she'll, the fragments
of which became earth, mountains and rocks
The giant came from the mountains and slept be-
side placid lake. From his head sprang a mo-
BILE race of thinkers. From his long arms,
stretched by his side a race of workers. From
his legs, race of travellers, and from his fingers
and toes the lowest race of all.

THE DAUGHTERS OF CHNA.-The daughters
whom they condescend to rear, have sad and
isolated lot They remain shut up in the paren-
tai mansion, solely occupied with sewing and
housewifery. Wealthy parents give them assslight
education, but in general their educationi is con-
fined to their needlework. No public schools
are open for girls When they are old enough
to marry, their parents think much less about
their future happiness than Of their own private
interests, and solely endeavor to conclude a sort
Of bargain by selling themto the highest bidder.
Their father and mother-or, in default of them,
their nearest relaUons-e1ercise an absolute au-
thorty over the marriage Of the children; young
people are allowed to have no will in the matter.
Sometimes two friends bind themselves by an
oath to marry their unborn babes, if they turn
out Of different sexes The promise is sealed by
tearing their tunics, each giving the other the
portion rent off. Unions formed under such con-
dtions as these are scarcely likely to be of long
duration. Incompatibilities of temper soon de-
clare themselves, and the woman being the
weakest suffers the most, for the husband has
complete authority over her. He may ill-treat her
with impunity, and compel her 20 associate with
several secondary wives.

How TO FALL AsLEEP.-The great point to be
gained in order to secure sleep is safety from
thought-especally from that clinging, tena-
cious, imperous thought which, in most cases
of wakefulness, has possession of the mind. l
always effect this by following this simple pro-
cess I turn my eyeballs as far to the right or
left, or upwards, or downwards, as can without
pain and then commence rolling them slowly,
with that divergence from direct line of vision,
around in their sockets, and continue doing
thus until fall asleep, which occurs generally
within three minutes and always within FIVE at
the most The immediate effect of this proce-
dure differs from that of any other of which /
have ever heard 1t not merely diverts thought
into a new channel but actually suspends it.
ored, nnumerable times, while thus rolling my
eyes, to think upon particular subject, and
even upon that which before kept me awake but
I could not. As long they were moving
around, my mind was blank If any one doubt
this, let him try the experiment for himself.
wish he would; let him pause just here and
make it. venture to assure him that if he
makes it in good faith, in the manner described,
the promise of "a penny for his thoughts" i" or
for each of them while the operation is in pro-
gress, will add very little to his wealth. Such
being its effect, we cannot wonder that it should
bring sleep to a nervous and wakeful man at
night The philosophy of the matter is very
simple. A suspension of thought is to the mind
what suspension of travel or labor is to a wea-
ry body 1t enjoys the luxury of rest; the strain
upon its faculties removed, it falls asleep as nat.
urally as the farmer in his chair after toilng all
day in the field.

NEGRO IDEAS oE LIBERTY According to tho
Eastern journals, General Hartsuf, commanding
at Petersburg, Va, has begun to experience the
dangers of the released negroes misapprehend-
ing their position and their duties. Many of
them it appears, are already hugging the delu-
sion that "with their liberty they acquire indi-
vidual rights in the property Of their former
owners, and that they are entitled to live with
and be supported by them without being OBJ,
liged to labor. Not the least painful feature in
this state of things at Petersburg, comes of the
fact that these emancipated slaves are encour-
aged in this view Of their rights by ignorant.
white men, who have made themselves apostles
Of the doctrne-which is by no means confined
to small class-that the negroes must be pro-
tected and defended in idleness, if he chooses to
