1 SOUTHERN Wit While the train
was stopping at small place near Wei
don, a robust Georgian trooper hailed one
of the macy loungers about the station
with: "Say, old tar heel, got any tar for
sale 2" The native so addressed answered
rather shortly, to his gallant defender" )"
mo, stree p oval, you've got some
pitch, haven't your" Mary pitch here" "
answered the sandhiller. "Well what
have you done with 'em, for you know
you live Cn sich stuff" About this time
the long, lean specimen of tar maker
frightened up and replied, "Well we sold
all we had to JEFF Davis" The Georgian,
thrown off his guard, could not resist
asking, "Why, what did old Davis want
with all the tar 2" Quoth the man of
pitch "Why, you Georgiaus run so,that
he had to buy something to make you
stick"

ONE VACANT CHAIR.

We will meet, but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair
We will linger TO caress him,
While we breathe our evenings prayer.
When, a year ago, we gathered,
Joy was in his mild blue eye;
But the golden cord is severed,
And our hopes in ruins lie.
At our hearth, so sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell
At remembrance of the story
How our noble brother fell.
How he strove to bear our banner
Through the thickest of the fight,
And upheld our Country's honor
With the strength of manhood's might.
True, they tell us wreaths of glory
Evermore shall deck his brow;
But this soothGs the anguish only,
Sweeping DER our heart-strings now.
Sleep to-day, Q early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bed
Dirges from the pine and cypress,
Mingle with the tears we shed.

A MELANCHOLY TRUTH-Wher a
rak,sh youth goes astray, friends gather
around him in order to restore him to the
path of virtue. Gentleness and kindness
are lavished upon him to WIN him back
again to Innocence and peace Nc one
would suspect that he had ever siuned.
But when a poor, cou6diug girl is betray.
ed, she receives the brand of society, and
is heuceforth driven from the ways of
virtue The betrayer is honoIed, re
spected, esteemed; but there is no peace
for her this side of the grave. Society
has but few loving, helping hands for her,
no smile of peace, nc voice of forgiveness,
These are earthly mortalities unknown to
heaven. There is a deep wrong 10 them,
and fearful are the consequences,

of his profession who deal exclusively in
special sensational communications. Yes
tcrday thought it of sufficient importance
to announce that 1T is generally under
stood that the country is mainly indebted to
Horace Greely for the recent peace demon
strations it was at his request and soliclta-
tions that Blair went to Richmond
What this announcement terms peace
demonstrations were Just the very oppo-
site, because neither party manifested the
slightest disposition to yield hair, in or
der to bring about a cessation of hOStilitics
The Southern Commissioners insisted upon
independence, and Mr.. Lincoln demanded
Of them to, not only lay down their arms,
but submit to all his procamations of cman-
cipation and contscation, besides the late
act of Congress amending the Constitution,
which aholishcs slavery throughout the
South. 1t is for his disclosing the temper
of the two Governments, which adm on,
iShes us all that as long as Lincoln and Da.

But even if Greeley did absolutely secure
peace and union 10 the cnuntry, after near
" four years of deSolation and death, the!
would but poorly compensate for the incal

country. 1t was he who first invited thu
SouthcrnorS to withdraw from the Union

ed the Abolition party to let them depart il

hesitation, that had it not been for his anC
his pnrty's assurance upon this paint, tht
Southern leaders never would have under
taken the stupendous work of secession anC

our union with the South was positive los
to the North that we paid more than on

these reasons Greedy argued in favor of let

his party to be sincere the Southern leader
rushed into secession aud then into open re
