Gen. SHERIDAN triumphed.

Iht DIFfEREScE.-On the close of our late
terrible rebellion, the voice Of British human.
ity was piteously raised to deprecate the
slaughter of the surrendering insurgents. Per.
haps the complacent plsaders are this moment
coneratulating themselves on the efficacy of
their vlrtuous mediation between a blood.
thirsty repubhcanlsm and its PROSTATE vic.
TINS. AT any rate, the historic fact presents
Itself to their astonished eyes, that during a
four years conflict with rebellion, and for a
halt year after complete triumph over it. not
one life has been sacrificed to vengeance by
tins monstrous republicanism, and none has
yet under judicial procedure, expiated his
crime on the gallows
We need no longer go to the Gauges for H.
lustration of the British mode of dealing with
overpowered insurgents. The Jamaica ne
groes have been slaughtered by the hundred
and the thousand, less to satisfy Justice than
to inspire terror. Massacre has held bloody
sway among the infatuated and helpless race.
We have no objection to the civilized world
beholding the contrast between British action
and ours, If they have none to like view of
their action towards conquered rebels, com.
pared with their humane appeals TO US.

KEOkUK, IOWA:
SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER a..



A shoemaker fat on his workbench sat,
With shoe about half way done;
His figure was short and his hair was gray,
Aid his bright eye twinkled in sush way
Thst you would have thought hewss merely st
Or having bit Of fun.
All labor, says he, appears to be nn
A part of my honored trade;
They may dig, or preach, or hew, or teach
Whatever they do, you viii see in each
Something that's always within my reach,
Or my daily customs made.
The parson may SMILE all down each aisle
His sloqasacs sonoruus rolls;
He can only believe, when his sermon 10 o'sr,
And siisass breods Ger the pews once morn,
That - only peRforns what I've done bafofo,
For I'm cursr Of solss.
The doctor delights, ~ be knowingly writes
prescription for pain or snart,
To think that for aches he can give an sass,
And also to think Of the coming fees;
I'm sure my profession with his agree
1practics the kseliag art.
An LII. D.. or higher degree
OF scholastic lore commanding,
May aspire to fame in some science high,
And puzzle wise headswith logic dry,
And yet be cannot do more than
To improve the understanding.
The merchant, at ease, sends over the seas,
And commerce lends Aid to his call;
But tempests may rally to rend his sails,
And his Argosies sink under wintry gales;
Like me, his misfortune sadly bewsils
Whenever be loses his ars.
Though hard may stitch, and never get rich,
Yet SOME of more means can beat;
For though of their wealth they may make . great
show,
And scatter their income as fast - they go;
There's one thing can do cftener. know,
And that 10, make both ends meet.
When ages have sped and among the dead
All other professions have passed,
all alone in my glory shall be,
No other employment win any one see;
1t must be So for you win agree,
NY business is one Of the tdat.
