THE SMILE.
~ J. \. O., OF y. y. CITY.
When Rcauty, or Love,
Our $ympathies move,
Or seeks tho warm heart to bcsuilc,
Her fire must ny
From bright, rolling eye.
And be borne to the heart in smile.
TOO oft is tear
The elluSion Of fear,
Or the mask Of y hypocrte's vile;
But the laughing loves speak
On the roSeatc cheek.
And rav;sh the heart with i srils.
Mild Char;ty's glow
Among mortals below
Never shines through countcnsnce vile
But conscious Of charms,
Gay she opens her arms
And dispenScs her gifts with a smile.
The Soldier whose name
Swclls the record Of fame,
Drawing death in each narrow deGle,
In vain would he bleed,
Poor-poor be indeed,
II Ifunblcssed-unrcpaid by smile.
L, high flushc. with glory,
lie tells the proud story
To his love, her soft hear. 70 bcsuile,
How swectcr the tear
She shed would appear,
Ifbrishtly i, shonc through smile
AS distant roam,
From my friends and my home,
And visit = foreign CLINE soil,
How proudly elatc
Do wclcomc my fate,
When think Of my home with smile

when he wasn't elected but thought he

speech Of acceptance. The Governors

.EM1eRAr1oS.-Europe IS turning its
face 10 these shores, stimulated by the
magnificent prospect opening to US in
the future. Emigration seems now
the order Of the day, and curiousIy
enough, it is working both ways-into
this country. and out of it. While
thousands of pc 'ple Of all classes are
preparing to aband Europe for tho
United States, 10000 of the stall
worth soldiers of the South who
fought SO. splend.dly, although, of
course. they were overpowered by the
North, are packing up their traps for

The Cradle of Treason.

BY REV. II. NJ. GALLAHER, BROOKLYN.
Our first sight of Charleston was a
disappointment We did not expect
to see such terrible ]e:o!atiou, and W.T.
wondered how the rebel newspapers
could have kept back knowledge of
their suffarings.
One third of the city, and perhaps
the bes; third, is utterly destroy ed. If
New York city extended OILY to Canal
stree t. a"d n fire, three blocks wide,
should burn It's way from Fulton Ferry
TO the foot of Barclay street, it would
be something ike what has befal'eu
Charleston.
Then, what is untouched by the
fire is pierced and torn and shattered
by our shells. Every second building,
at least, is injured by them. The Mills
House, an imposing Structure. reSem-
bling the Sherman House in Chicago,
was hit eighteen times. We gathered
some blooming white clover from the
grass that grew thickIy at its closed
doorway.
The Charleston Hotel, the banks,
the court house, Hibernan and Seres-
sion Hall, all bore the marks Of Gill
more's strrh compliments.
Nor did the churches fare much
better-some of them, indeed, far
worse We counted FIVE burnt
churches, tue Catholic cathedral, the
finest in the South, and the Circular,
amoug the number. In the quaint
old church Of St. Michacls, built of
materials brought from England long
ago, and in the pretty little aristocratic
Iiuguenot church, which Was filled
with tablets to the memory of the
Sassures, Po-chers. and Gaussens, who
fled to the CaroIinas after the repeal
of the Edlct Of Nantes, the work of
destruction had BEEN complete. 1t
looked as if some Of Cromwell's leo.
noclasts had been dcspoiling tie tenn,
Piles of the Malignants. Shells had
burst in these buildings, and thieves
had burst IN after them, and seized the
cushions, torn out the pew-linings,
carried off in:-desk, communion
table, and church ornaments, and left
not vestige Of the organs :or our
busy relic hunters.
Mr.. John Phillips, q lawyer, and
one of the few respectable white in-
habitan!s left, told us that, when the
CITY was abardoued Ivy the rebel
troops. the rognes entered churches
and houses, and carried Oft what they
wanted; that the negroes had no hand
in this pundering; that the news
papers, in telling us that the city was
but slightly damaged by our shells,
told US internal l'es; that at FIRST, no
one believed Gilmore couid throw

her memory which is perfectly unique.
1t is like Il very elegant dolls house
or confectioner's model of m*us>
leum. There is'a miniature ship chain
ed 10 a capstau, on which is written in
gold letters, The Promise, June,
1927" Then pair Of scales, evenly
balanced, and hanging from the centre
Of a lriumphal arch, holds his heart in
one scale, hers in the other. There
are two lace handkerch;efs with the
words on g|ass,."I had your first and
last dear kiss. There are turtle doves.
and love notices, and mosaic and
she'll work; then another little ship,
then an American flag aud a British
'snion;jack, then ever so many other
things, and at last head-stone with
this epitaph: "She was-but words
are wanting, to say what, say what
a wife should be, and that she was" !"
All this is protected by gilt and
gayly colosed roof, and the whole
affair might be covered by good
sized tabIe-cloth. Through the kind
ness of General Hatch and Captain
Hunt, all the ambulances, ola stage
coaches, one horse shays, rheumatic
buggies, bopy Rosinantes, and archi-
tectural steeds in the place were i'm
pressed for our use. They were the
best the city afforded; what more
could we ask? One of our party, a
grave and reverend seignor, but un-
used to these chariots Of the sun, con-
fiscated horse and buggy for his Own
sole use, and drove, not through,
Charleston, as he certainly intended
but straight into the dock-a depth OF
over twenty feet. The buggy was
lost for ever; the horse, after immense
difficulties and to our great surprise,
was fished out alive. The company
on the Oceanus came away loaded
with relics. We had stiff leather
bound books from the sacked city
library, magnolia leaves from Cal
houn's grave and Memmingers resi~
dence, papers from the banks, records
from the court house; gilded cherubs
heads from the churches, manac:es
from the slaves ma rts, soldiers brcast-
plates and epauIe's. and a new, neatly
finished rebel FLAG, which was present.
c! to the Snm,er Club by its finder.
We found letters dated July and
August, 1861, from the Bank of
Liverpool to the Ban!, Of Charleston,
under cover to the Bank of the State of
New York, which explains how some
rebels found means to communicate
with their friends in England.

boy partook Of the fanaticism and
went i:.to the fight, and the women
cheered them on and gave their jewels
and treasures in the cause. You of the
North know nothing Of the war in
this respect Every family in the
South is bereaved, and I told them it
would be so.
He said, INC, I have never cast my
lot with them. I told then they we're
wrong from the first. I gave a toast
for the Union at notification supper
in 1880, and offended all my young
associates, and since the rebellion com.
meuced have not been in Richmond
or Montgomery, and have declined
office from Mr.. Davis for myself and
friends. When Mr.. Davis was my
guest recently at Charleston defended
the Union, and secuted the absurd
doctrine of secession in conversation
with him. Since the war began I
have never said nor done thing Of
which my conscience accuses me as an
act Of dis]oyalty to the nation"
he continued by saying that Davis
was not the man for President, and
never should have been chosen. He
had not the ability nor TIE weight Of
character Of Hunter, and had been
very popular ever since his election.
South Carolinians had denounced him
withou, stiut-but it was a position
where success was impossible. He
had not high opinion of Davis
morals or discretion, but it seemed to
him incredible how man of education
aad culture, If refined taste, a member
Of the church, who sat at Christ's
table and partook Of the sancti6ed
body and blood of the worlds crucl~
fed Redeemer, could possibly harbor a
thought Of complicitv in the assassi-
nation. lie supposed President John
son had good evidence, however: but
if such completely was proved it wouii
materially damage hns respect for
human nature.
The Governor said the war was sub
stantially over when Grant took Rich
mond; all the South agreed to thai.
No organized guerilla warfare will h-
carried on. The peopis Of the SontI
will not permit it. A selfish instinct to
defend themselves will stimulate them
to hnnt down gueriiias. LIE spoke
with pride Of having recently presided
at a meeting in Charleston to express
regret and indignation at the murder
Of Mr.. Lincoln. lie said that he had
lost nearly all his property in the war,
(some seven or eight million dollars)
but if he saved enough for his support
he should not mourn the loss.
This is the substance Of the CONVEX
saton. It is said, though [ did not
learn it from him, that the Governor is
brought here charged with aiding
blockade runners. But even if he is,
is he not far more innocent than Robert
e. Lee, who is lionized in quiet way
at Richmond, ant is not menaced with
a trial at al!2
