Burning with star-fires, but never consuming,

Thousands have died for it, millions defend it.,

Justice that reddens the sky with her terrors,
Mercy that comes with her white-handed train,
Soothing all passions, redeeming all errors,
Sheathing the sabre and breaking the chain.
Borne on the deluge of old usurpations,
Drifted our ark o er the desolate seas:
This was the rainbow of hope to the nations,
Torn from the storm-cloud and flung to the

God bless the flag and its loyal defenders,

A sharp Quartermaster.

Sometime ago the Government had a
quarterlnaster In New Orleans who, IL was
feared, did too many good turns for him
self. He had, in fact, suddenly become
rich. and showed his riches in his pur-
chases and his mode of living. so the War
Department set a trap To catch him, aud
find out how much he made by ''commis-
sion" paid by contractors. One fine
morning detective called on the quarter
master and was anxious 10 furnish certain
supplies for the army. The quarternaster
thought ut once that he saw before him IA
liberal minded contractor, and concluded
he could do good thing with him.
After a long conversation on prices aud
other points of interest, but In which the
detective utterly failed 10 pin suspicion to
the quartermaster's skirts the following
conversation closed the conference:
Quartermaster-''DO you know what our
Saviour said TO Zaceheus when he was In
the Sycamore tree Y
Detective-''No | do not; ] am not fa-
miliar with the Scriptures. What did lac
W"
Quarterm'r-"He said, Zaccheus, make
haste and come dotoRp"
The hint to "come down" supplied the
ground of suspicion that the detective was
looking for, and In few days the quarter
master was dismissed the service.

A Remarkable Case.

At Stockenchurch, England, some time
since man of the name of John Judge was
presented by some of the inhabitants of the
village with side of home-cured bacon, in
consideration of his having for upwards OF
sixty years attended diligently to his own
business. and never during that time inter-
fered with other peoples.
This Ia certainly a case worthy of special
note, and 1t reminds us of circumstance
which occurred towards the close of General
.Jackson's Presidency. A distinguished lady
OF the Court of William w., then King of
England being about 10 visit this country,
was made the bearer of an autograph letter
from his Majesty TO the President, inviting
him to visit England Ms soon az released from

Venturing to suggest, as he retired, that on
such an occasion a little more than ordi-

Wednesday, December 13, 1865.
The Poverty Of Statesman.

Statesman who are worthy the appella-
ton given them, generally fail to secure
fortunes. They devote themselves TO pur-
suits which, if honestly adhered TO rarely
yield to rich rewards.
Jefferson died comparatively poor In
deed if Congress had not purchased his IL
brary. and given him five times its value
for 1t, he would with difficulty have kept
the wolf from his door
Madison saved money. and was compare
lively rich. To add to his fortune, how
ever, or rather that of his widow, Congress
purchased his manuscript papers. and paid
$4,000 for them.
James Monroe. the sixth President of the
United States, died in New York, 50 poor
that his remains found a resting place
through the charity of u friend.
John Quincy Adams left some Sl500OO,
the result of industry, prudence, and in
heritauce. He was II man of method and
economy.
Martin Van Buren died very rich
Throughout his political life he studiously
looked out for his own interests. IL Is sail
that he never spent thirty shillings IN poll
ties. His parry shook the bush and he
caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered some millions
In his life time, the product of his profess
sional and political speculations. lie died
leaving his property to his children, and
his debts to his friends. The former sold
for $20,0OO-the latter exceeded $250,0O0.
Henry Clay left very handsome estate
IL probably exceeded 100000. lie was Il
prudent manager, and scrupously honest
man.
james X. Polk left some $l50,0O0-$5O,-
600 of which he saved from his Presidency
four years.

A New Way to Discover Guilt.

The New York Herald, in Its account of
the Otero assassination in the Park, and
the arrest of the murderers, narrates
this dramatic incident, which would do
well to adorn the next sensational novel. II
says:
yesterday morning Gonzales was taken
10 the dead-hOuse, where the lifeless body
of 0tero was lying. He was not told the
purpose of the visit, and was brought into
the room by Captain Waddy, unconscious
of the presence of the dead. When he
stood beside the shSuded corpse the cover
ing was removed, and his dark, evil eye
fell on the ghastly face of the murdered
man. Instantly a tremor shot through his
frame, gurgling sound issued from his
throat, his face grew absolutely liyid, his
lips parted, aud a choking sensation came
over him. With an indescribable express
sion of horrors and fright he turned his face
away from the mute witness of his crime,
and could not be induced 10 look ON IL
again"
