s. 4--s 49, AS thing Of evil fame, - - "a.
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word ofheartess blame,

Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When. you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have wandered in,
WORKING out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin,

Would a kind word be in vain?
Or q look Of cold suspicion
Win thee back TO truth againy
t8#t5 There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the Summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad,
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by Judging Others blindly,
Doom the Innocent to pain.

THE FATE OF AARON BURR. The
case Of Aaron Burr is a significant
example in American history of the
wisdom of lenient policy. If ever
there was a man dangerous from his
talents, ambition and capacities of
intrigue, it was Aaron Burr. But a
free country, in its conscious strength,
could afford to be humane even to
Aaron Burr and he went into an
obscurity as profound as that of the
grave--a living death, more terrible
TO a man Of his spirit than the hor-
rorssef the scaffold His name, which
might have been dignifed by the in
Fiction of the extreme penalty of the
law, could not survive the solitary
life, cut off from all human sympa-
thies, TO which he was consigned,
and which was finished by a death
" unwept, unhonored and unsung."

Whereas, By an act Of Congress, ap-
proved March 8, 1865, there was estab-
lished in the War Department Bureau of
Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
and to which, in accordance with the said
act of Congress, is committed the super
vision and management of all abandoned
lands, and the control of all subjects re-
lating to refugees; and freedmen from re-
bel States, or from any district of country
within the territory embraced in the oper-
atoms Of the army, under such rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the
head of the bureau and approved by the
President; and whereas, it appears that the
management of abandoned lands, and sub
jects relating to refugees and freedmen, as
aforesaid, have been, and still are, by or
ders based on military exigencies, or Leg
islation based on previous statutes, partly
in the hands of military officers disconnec-
ted with said bureau, and partly in charge
of officers of the Treasury Department; it
is therefore Ordered, That all officers Of
the Treasury Department, all military Of
ticers, and all others in the service of the
United States, turn over to the authorized
officers of said bureau all abandoned lands
and property contemplated in said act of
Congress, approved March 3, 1866, estab
fishing the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen
and Abandoned Lands, that may now be
under or within their control They will
also turn over to such offices all funds
collected by tax or otherwise for the bene-
fit Of refugees or freedmen, or accruing
from abandoned lands or property set
apart for their use, and viii transfer to
them all official records connected with the
administration Of affairs which pertain to
said bureau. tassr..E"I .sa.
