To Go, or Not to Go.

The following parody, found in a rebel journal
is of the most unmercifu satires of the kind W,
have seen for many day. Many "exempts" OF
this side of the line will testify to both its poetry
and truth. The fellow who wrote it should be fur
nished with a life exemption from military service
To go not to go: that is the question;
Whether it pays best to suffer pestering
By idle girls and garrulous old women,
Or to take up arms against host of Yankees
And by opposing get killed-to die, to sleep,
(Git eouD and in this sleep to say we " sink
To rest, by all our Countrys wishes blest,''
And live forever-(thats a consummation
Just what I'm after) To march, to fight
To fight. perchance to die; aye, there's the rub
For while I'm asleep who'd take care of Mary
And the 5abes-when Bill is in the lower ground,
Who'd feed 'em, hey ?-There's the respect
| have for them that makes life sweet;
For who would bear the bag to mill,
Plow Dobbin, cut the wheat, dig taters,
Kill hogs, and do all sorts of drudgery,
film fool enough to get a Yankee -
Bullet on the brain? Who'd cry for me7
Would patriotism pay my debts, when dead?
But OH the dread of something after death;
That undiscovered fellow who'd court Mary,
And do my huggin'-that's agony,
And makes me want to stay at home;
Specially as l aim mad with nobody.
Shells and bullets make towards of us all,
And blam'd my skin if snortin' steeds,
And pomp and circumstanc of war,
Are to be compared with feather bed
And Mary by my side. EXEMPT

Let freemen shout as treason falls
And swell the glad hosanna..
Long from those ramparts, proud and bold.

anu traitors cannon from its breast
Their boasting thunder muttered.
mat gallant band, of hero fame.
Bright on our nations story.
Amid the rage of rebel flame
Bore off the flag of glory.
Untarnished from the fearful fray.
Behold! the stars are shining,
While down the skies of Freedoms day
The sun seemed swift declining,
But in a million northern homes,
Around a million affairs,
Was breathed vow to be avenged
With faith that never falters
All through the night of treason's reign
The stars ofhope were cleaning,
While in the darkness, stained with blood,
The traitors flag was streaming.
But from thousand throats
The voice of freedom thundered,
And down the rebel flag was torn,
And fends and traitors wondered.
Now through the sweet palmetto groves
The Southern wind is signing,
To greet no more the traitors flag
From gallant Sumter flying.
Welcome thou banner of the free
Float DER thine own forever!
While anthems float from land to sea,
From mountain top to river.

TNHESE horses run rapidly over any good road,
sidewalk or park grounds, with a graceful.
eanterng motion, propelled mainly by the weight
Of the rider, alternating from the saddle to the
petals, in the act of rising to the motion Of the
horse, and with about the same amount of exercise
to the rider as in riding a live horse. They NAV
be started, stopped short, or controlled in going
down hill, by the rider They run up a moderate
ssccnt, if the road is hard and firm. They are d-
rected by the bride. As the motions are identical.
It is good mode of training for equestrianism.-
Iney are unequaled as means for agreeable and
healthul outdoor exercise, all the year round, for
aduts as well as for girls and boys of two years old
and upward. Girls ride by using the sde-saddlc

SUGGESTION TO OUR FARMERs-We per-
ceive, say; the Napa Register, that new
method of preparing seed to save it from the
depredations of birds, is being practised in
some parts of the State with evident success.
From the Record, published at Stockton, we
learn thata farmer residing near Woodbridge
San Joaquin county, recently tried the ex-.
pertinent, of soaking his wheat in coal oil
mixed with lime, which he found to work ad.
mlrablv. He has wheat prepared in this
way that lay for several days before being
narrowed in, without heing touched by the
by the backbirds which swarm about that
neighborhood The remedy is simple, cheap,
and easily applied, and if as eficacious as
represented, will save many dollar at the
present high price of seed.

INCOME TAx.-The Commissioner of inter.
ral Revenue at Washington has lately sent
to the Assessors of Internal Revenue on this
coast the following instructions:
The ruling of this Office ON the question of
oHsetting losses against gains IN making an.
nual returns of income is, that no losses in
one kind of business can be Offset against gains
in any other business. Therefore the losses
and expenses of Mr.. R. in mining stock
speeulations and farming cannot be offset
with gains as County Collector, or any other
business.

negro woman of his wife's size and height was
bundled up in her cloak and furs, and when
the carriage came took her place beside the
husband, with a thick veil drawn over her
face. On reaching his destination he led his
