has nothing but itself-the desert the
same. But the country has,yariety, and
here is the charm of life. So in all our
cnjoyments there must be variety. For
instance, how keen are the first enjoy
ments-thc first glimpses of spring, the
first airs of autumn-any pleasant event
long delayed-music, after a long inter-
val. If man has not heard music for a
long time, the sound of even a jewsharp
is welcome. Now, the wisdom of life is
to take advantage Of these things; enjoy
one, and then the other; thus each one
will be fresh, if time be given to the
chords Of the mind, so to speak, to gather
keenness. Hence, there is a constant
round of more or less enjoyment. This
is the best that can be done with life ac-
cording to the best minds. And then the
nrosiac moments must intervene, to still
further make up the variety.

- Blackguardism is getting to be al
together too much tolerated in Congress
of late, and needs to be severely checked,
says the Springfield Republican. The
surest way to check it is to turn the
blackguards out.
AT q law club the President called

Memories of the War.

The Old Capitol Prison is a dark, frown-
inc structure. Its brown brick walls are
mouldering away, and the bars on the
prisoners cells are rusting into hopeless
dilapidation. But this same building,
now falling into miserable decay, was
once the chosen scene of historic events
and the meeting hall of tho American
Congress before the capitol raised its
lofty walls, like an emblem of the perpet-
ual magnifcence of our country. What
it lacks in architectural effect, the old
capitol supplies in dignifed associations.
Here the Senate and House Of Rcpresen-
tatives met in the days of the giants.
In those simple chambers of lath and
plaster-of what now appears primitive
simplicity-thc true Americans, the men
who held the traditions of constitutional
government, assembled and reasoned.
Those plain wooden floors are now re-
placed by mosaic pavements; walls of
rustic plainness have been succeeded by
marble and painted glass. But have we
not resigned the homcly principles of our
republic-the principles of men who rca-
soned and argued-for the himsy doc
trincs of dcmagogucs and politicians by
trade? The improvement in cxternals
has not been made without q correspond
ing loss. In a large room on the ground
floor, formerly used as tavern, the great
Calhoun died. Many, many memories of
those oldcn days cluster round these SIM
pic, bare walls Would that these asso-
Citations could end our search through the
ancient legislative ball of the thirteen
States. But other scenes, less pleasant
and natural, crowd about the mind Of the
visitor. 1t seems a desecration that the
very halls where the members of the
Union met to found new and pure gov
crnmcnt should be darkened with the cf-
fects of domestic strife. Here the militia
ry prisoners were confined there Union
and Confederate officers, under various
extraordinary charges werc kept for five
months at time, without the privilege
of leaving small apartment. Wirz in
one chamber, Windcr in another, Duncan
in the third; Belle Boyd and Miss Mure-
no in adjoining cells; Stewart in IL large
room, from which he escaped by loosen
ing one of the bars of his window, and
in the moment of fortune was killed by a
sentinel. In the yard of the prison Hen
ry Wirz was hanged on the finding of a
military tribunal.
Looking out on the scene of the execu-
ton arc three or four overground dun
geons which Mr.. Lincoln facetiously
termed "swcat boxes" Hero half
dozen men were confined at time, in a
close, square compartment, without ray
of light or chance for air to enter, or
even knowledge of the charges brought
against them. These are some of the
blighting and terrible memories of the
war that will long be impressed on the
visitor to the old capitol prison WASH
