fAD Ode by the RI Rev D1Ego MARIS q former bishop
Of Monterey, Ie1ieo.l
Translated from the Spanish by REUBEN NJ. POTTER Esq
Hail Texas, fraught with charms unknown
TO every land beside,
rs Natures fairest traits is shown
In thee Creations pride;
A if the latest touch essayed
By hand of Him, the world who made,
Thy region beautited;
" hen pauslng to pronounce 1t good,
Complacently His work He viewed.
see thy plains of waving green,
All foWer-enameled spread,
To where the mornings rudy sheen
Is thence upon them shed.
It awes my soul as when view
The summer seas expansive blue
While ruifiing winds are dead
So calm, SO vast, so fair to see;
A type Of Gods immensely.
But ere the day-beam meets the eye
Upon the prarie's breast,
IN earlier glowing gids on high
The Sierra Madre's crest.
TO lin whose feet those cliffs explore
Ol.t-pCeping views of precious ore
That region wealth attest,
And gray embowered rocks unfold
Their specks and winding threads Of gold.
Exuling in their purity,
Thy countless limpid riils
With Joyous bound and gaddening sound,
Rush from thousand hills
And parting wind with wandering How,
That with q bloom like Edens glow,
That broad, wide garden fills,
Where Nature Graves no human toll
10 bcautify the virgin soil.
Thou dear enchanting solitude,
Unknown to voice of pain
TO woe and want, and wrath, and blood,
Of mortal steps the train!
In such an undtstnrbed abode
Where war his course has never rode
a- How best coudT remain,
a-~ And hear no sigh save that alone
Which woos in Zephyrs melting tone
Ny 1uitre,s we'll might forcgo;
A. Forget the scholars PRIDE
Amid the fresheniir sweets that grow
UBpruned on every side
like man in Eden, ere twas trod
by sin, communing with my God,
In peace would | abide;
Nor envy wearied grandeur's care,
ioy wisdom laurcls long to share.

The Rebel Peace Commissioners.

A Washington dispatch says: We learn
that Mr.. Stephens was the most liberal of
the rebel deputation, and the most anxious
for peace. To an army officer, while at
General Grants headquarters, he remarked
that ave are but one people, and should
have but one common interest" He said
the leaders who have brought on this con-
test cannot now say to their people, "We
have drawn you into this war, and now that
you have poured out your blood and treas
ure until want and woe sit by every freside
of the South, you must abandon it. That
tens Of thousands of graves would be dis
bonored if the MANNED and emaciated SOL
ders who have followed the flag Of revolu-
tion, impeIlcd in every campaign by their
wives and sisters, with the motto of inde-
pendence upon their flag, should now turn
back without having accomplished any
thing. AS yet we have gained nothing but
desolation and distress. You should not
ask, you cannot think we must abandon all
and turn back to our old allegiance. You
say slavery is gone. l admit it holds its
tenure upon a very slender thread, then
there is the more reason why you should
concede US something"
His theory was, if we would but treat
with them as an independent nation, that
such an agreement could be had as would
practically unite both the North and South.
| He did not seem to think that they could
get through another campaign without fear
full losses, but he thought ours would be as
great, and though we would triumph in the
end it would be far better for both to cease
this war and treat for peace.

A "Reminiscences.
How the News of Peace was Received in

How the News of Peace was Received in
1916.
Years ago the officer of the old Gazette
was in Hanover square, near the corner OF
Pearl street. 1t was place of resort for
news and conversation, especially in the
evening. The evening of February l5,
1915, was cold and at a late hour only AL
derman Sebra and another gentleman wele
left with father Lang, the genius OF the
place. The Office was about to be closed,
when pilot rushed in, and stood for mo-
ment so entirely exhausted as to be unable
to speak. "He has great news exclaimed
Mr. Lang. Presently the pilot grasping
for breath, whispered intelligibly--" Peace
Peace !" The gentlemen lost their breath
as fast as the pilot gained his. Directly
the pilot was able to say-"An English
sloop is below, with news of treaty OF
peace !" They say that Mr.. Lang exclaim-
ed in greater words than ever be used be-
fore-and all hands rushed into Hanover
scrare exclaiming--"P eace Peace p
The windows few up--for families lived
thee then. No sooner were the inmates
sure Of the sweet sound than the windows
began to glow with brilliant illuminations.
The cry of peace Peacey' spread through
the city at the top of all voices. No one
stopped to inquire about "free trade and
sailors rights No one inquired whether
even the national honor had been preserv
ed. The matters by which the politicians
had irritated the nation into the war, had'
lost all their Importance. 1t was enough
that the ruinous war was over. An old
man on Broadway attracted by the noise
to his door, was seen to pull down pla-
card. "To Let" which had long been post
ed up. Never was there such joy in the
city. A few evenings after there was a
general illumination, and although the snow
V was a foot deep and soaked with rain, yet
the streets were crowded with men and
women eager to see and partake of every
thing which had in it the sight or tasteNei

SHOULD LOYAL REFUGEES BE DRAFTED
This inquiry has frequently been propoun-
ded to US. We have sought to ascertain
the views of those in authority upon this
question, and will give the numerous class
specially interested the understanding of
them which we have: Those persons who
have never intended and do not now con-
template making their present residence
their permanenth home, but have always pro-
posed and now expect to return to the
States of their residence before the rebel
lion, or before they left on account OF their
Union sentiments, are not regarded as sub
iects for draft. Those who have now deci-
ded upon permanent residence where now
located, or away from the confines now COW
cred by the rebellion are subjects of draft; I;
but, if drafted, will not be sent to fight the
rebels, but be assigned to the army of tho
Northwest, or other forces within loyal ter
ritory.-W Wash. Chron.

AS sand, and throats as white as frost,
I've searched the summer up and down,
And think the other birds have lost

About the old house, long ago.
Ny little flowers, that With you bloom
So hid the grass you grew upon, $3.50
4 chld's foot scarce had any room
Between you,-are you dead and gone
I've searched through fields and gardens rare,
Nor found your likeness anywhere.
By little hearts that beat so high
With love to God, and trust in men,
Oh come to me, and say If
But dream, or was dreaming. then,
What time We sat within the glow
0f the old-housc hearth, long agoY 81,
NY little hearts, SO fond SO true,
searched the world all far and wide.
And never found the like of you
God grant we meet the other side
The darkness 'twiAt us now that stands
In that new house not made 18th hands!

EgA Cincinnati paper, in speaking of the
overthrow of the rebels at Atlanta, says
that just before the Federal troops entered
the town an Indiana company, almost worn
out with the march, were struggling along
with very little regard to order. HurTylng
UP to his men the captain shouted, 'Olose
up, close upl If the enemy were 10 nre
when you're straggling along that way they
couldn't hit cussed one OF you Z" And
the boys closed up Immediately.
