time that man, under the influence of
some temptation deliberately commits a
grievous sin, does he not know that the
consequence is the forfeiture of his souls

that but trading with the Devil, who takes
nothing but souls in payment?

ENOCH ARDEN, BOILED DOWN.

BY JAMES SMITH"
Philip Ray and Enoch Arden
Both were ''spoons" on Annie Lee,
Phil did not fulfil her notions,
She preferred to mate with E.
Him she welded and she bore him
Pretty little children three
But becoming short of rhino
Enoch wentaway to sea.
Leaving Mrs. Arden owner
Of well-stocked, village shop,
Selling butter, soap and treacle,
Beeswax, whipcord, lollipop.
Ten long years she waited for him,
But he neither came or wrote,
Wherefore she concluded Enoch
Could no longer be afoat.
So when Philip came to ask her
If she wonld be Mrs. Ray,
She, believing she was widow'd
Could not say her suitor may"
And second time was married,
Gave up selling bread and cheese,
And in due time Philip nursed
Little Ray upon his knees.
But alas the long-lost Enoch
Turn'd up unexpectedly, ...
And was vastly disconnected
By this act of biga-my.
Yet rejecting on the subject,
He determined to atone
For his heightened absence from her
By just leaving well alone,
Taking to his bed, he dwindled
Down to something like shade,
Settled with his good landlady,
Next the debt of nature paid.
Then, when both the Rays discovered
How poor Enoch life had ended,
They came out in handsome style and
Gave his corpse fun raj splendid.
This is all know about it,
If it's not sufficient write
BY next mail to Alfred Tenny-
Son, p l.. the Isle of Wight.

I'M HAPPY NOW.

I'm happy now-Im happy now,
The wreath of joy is on my brow,
Sorrows cloud has fled away
And I'm happy as the day,
When the Northern birdlet flies
Back again from Southern skies,
Mark how joyous is the strain,
Home again-homc again
Eagerly they seek the tree
Where their favorite nest may be,
While, from every swaying bough,
Is warbled forth. I'm happy now!
So like the birds my heart is gay,
And mildly trills its happy lay,
l from sorrows reign am free,
Bright, my future path shall be.
So I'll gaily sing my song,
am happy, free, and strong, n.
Friends have who love me well,
Joy and piece within me dwell.

SECRETARY MCCULLoCH AND HIS PoLI-
Judging from letters received at
Washington from all parts of the country,
and from the statement of visitors the
popular impression is that Secretary Nc
Culloch is determined to secure for the
government of the United States at home
and abroad, the high credit to which it
entitled: that he will tolerate no longer
the mischievous and wasteful difference
between gold and national promises to
pay which unpatriotic men all over the
country have by combinations, artifcially
created; that he knows that the resources
of this country are not equalled any,
where on this earth, and that while he
applies the economy and caution of
finar cier trained in severe school of
practical banking and in which he has
acquired anu established reputation for
conservatism, he will stand resolutely
upon the strength of the nation and lean
his department upon the people. .s
The public impression of Mr. McCul-
loch's character and purpose in admins
tering the treasury department is aocrpt-
ed in Washington as correct, and no doubt
is felt that the public will heartily sus-
tain him. The secretary is determined
to put down the price Of gold to its just
relations to paper, but not to do this in
haste indeed to take just care that tho
fall shall be not so rapid as to precipitate
ruin upon any interest but in view Of
this settled policy of the treasury depart
ment, it is regarded as wise for all men in
business to unload their burdens betimes.
and be cautious in assuming new ones.

lie press headed by the New York 7riJ,
uno, all combined to render it extremely .
doubtful whether any active opposition
would be offered to the formation of
Southern slave confederacy, Andrew John |
son of Tennessee; in his place i'll the
United States Senate denounced jeff Da- 4,
Wis and the other Southern traitors to
their faces, and maintained that the Amer
lean people would never submit to dis
union and dismem berment. He resisted
all the Establishments of the chivalry, and
abandoned house, home, property, and
everything for the Union and he has ever
been true to his record As Governor of
Tennessee, he inspired all our generals
there with the saving grace of his indom-
liable spirit and strong will. 1t is no Sc
cret that at one time Nashville would
have been evacuated, but for his opposi-
tion to the opinion of we'll known gen.
eral, who maintained that it should be
abandoned. In strictly strategical point
of view it should have been. for it had
been hanked by Braggs army. But pluck
triumphed, and Nashville is ours to this
day; and was the base for all Sherman's
glorious successes. We who live peacea-
bly, at home, caunot realize the fierce ex-
citement and perils to which border
State Unionist is or was subjected, who
dares to stand up for his principles. Still
less can we comprehend the tremendous
strain upon leader of even Andrew John
sons stalwart frame and robust mind. The
over excitement was too much for him, at
last. The strong man succumbed in his
hour of triumph. At the moment when
his services had been recognized by the
American people, the Vice Presiden. elect
was stricken down with illness, from
which it was long doubtful whether he
could recover He did not die, but has
never been the same man since. We have
no heart to recount the old sad story of a
resort to stimulants, to recruit the shat
tered energies which had been wasted in
the noblest of all causes. During our
best, and what now appears most quiet
times, the excitement of ordinary politics
broke down many Of the strongest men.
AS compared with the European statesman
our public men do not live out half their
days. But now, when the events of a
hundred years are crowded within the
space of a few months who can tell the
wear and tear of Drawn and brain Of those
who struggle in the heat and thick of the
contest? 1t is, perhaps, his misfortune
rather than his fault, that Andrew John
son did not pass the ordeal unscathed
The excitement that produced his sickness
followed him during his convaleScence
and he resortcd to strong drink to drown

ThaPubIse Debt

On Ihe 3Ist of March last the official
statement showed the public debt to be
s7, 100000. Laws in operation provide
six hundred millions more, viz: The
go loan, now being so rapidly taken.
This is believed to be sufficient, with the
ordinary receipts of the Government, to
n1eet the expenses and sccruIng liabilities
up.to July l, 1866, making the debt at that
time, therefore, $2,9s7, 100000. Of this
amount $4,000, ,OOO,OO is interest-bearing
debt, the remaining $467, 100000 being
legal tenders and fractional currency, not
bearing interest. Of the interest cebt in
existence March 3lst, about fifty millions
Of five per cent. notes will undoubtedly be
cancelled on or before the 1st of July 1865,
and it is further believed that enough sur
plus funds will be derived from the 7-3O
loan and sales of public property during
the next year to absorb over one hundred
millions of the temporary deposits and
certificates of indebtedness, reducing the
debt by that much, which will allow the
funding of $167, 900 of the fractional
currency and greenbsck currency, leaving
out and unredeemed the $500, 100000 and
s25o, o,OOO, 900 of interest-bearing debt on
the LIST of July, 1856. At the present
rates Of interest paid, the average rate of
interest for several years will be six per
cent, for there will be nine hundred mill
ions of seveu-thirties, and nearly nine hun
drsd millions of fve-tvonties and 1881
bonds, besides compound interest notes,
etc. Therefore the interest will be $780,
OOO, coo annually.

Joe Johnston.

Raleigh Correspondence of the New York World.[
General Joseph Eggleson Johnston is
plain, agreeable looking man, about So
years of sge, five feet eight and half or
nine inches in height, of no great physiog-
nomical force, but remarkable among, 9TH
er rebel officers, for the ease and urbanity
of his manners, and the apparent absence
of mslevolent feeling toward those by
whom he has been fairly vanquished. His
hair has been dark-wss so, understand,
at the commencement of the war-but it is
now past the medium tinge of iroD-gray,
and makes him seem perhaps older than
he really is. Yet am told the anxieties
and heartburnings of the by-gone terrible
four years have aged him far less than Lee
or Besuregard, the latter of whom, indeed,
is said to be prematurely wor n.out, bro
ken-down man. General Johnston's eyes
are clear, penetrating hazel, calm and re-
Elective, though rather eager and sggres-
sive, as are the eyes Of General Sherman.
The impression he makes on the casual OBJ
server is more than ordinarily favorable,
and it is easy to understand the respect
and esteem with which he has been uni
versslly regarded by all the leading trait
ors of the South, except JEFF Davis.
