No MORE PEEsoNALs.--The fact that seper-
.sonals" have appeared in both Northern and
Southern papers, has tended in a measure. to
mitigate some of the horrors Of civil war; but
it seeY,s from the latest Northern accounts,
that Gen: DIX, in order to give .additioDd
show of authority, has interdicted this Asrh,,>
less interchange offriendly greetings between
non: combatants and prisoners and their friends.
As he cannot gain glory on the battlefield, he
seems determined to emulate the example of
BUTLER in ruling with a rod of iron such .un.
rmed civilians as misfortune locates in his
military department.

Nature VS.. Man.

Nature VS.. Man.
BY PERCIE BRADKLLE.
One by one the leaves arc falling.
Dropping hourly-day by day;
Flowers, too, have shed their leaflets,
All to wither and decay.
Thus it Is that man must tarrv,
ION this earth by mortals trod,)
larry but for one brief season,
Then appear before his God.
The day king makes his daily journey,
Through the trackless waste on high,
Then slowly, sadly, sinks to Westward,
Where to the world he seems to die.
Thus it IS that man is destined.
But for a time to brightly bloom.
Then like that sun his lustre's over.
And he's fastened to the tomb.
Night spreads her darkened mantle over
All the world at Gods command,
y thousand twinkling stars appeareth,
Showing the power of His hand.
Thus it is that man, whose BODY
Must again be changed to clay.
Can place his trust in that High Power
In Him who says Il am the way
But night and gloom will pass away
Tho bcaming sun: again will rise,
Dispclling from the earth all shadows
AS he in grandeur spans the skies
Thus to man--if changed in Spirit
To cheer him will n Light be given
\ Light that's dimlSss, ever fadeless.
\ Light III God, Who rcigns in Heaven.
