Governor Brownlow's Position.

We learn from Nashville, saws the Mem.
phis Bulletin, that Governor Brownlow has
taken his position with Thad. Stevens.
Sumner & CO. We have not seen The
Knoxville Wing which contains the deeia.
ration. In an article, understood to have
been written by the Governor, he assumes
that there are but two parties -one for the
Union, led BY Thad Stevens & Co, and the
other for the rebels He formally acknowl-
edges his allegiance to the. former. and
pledges his life, his fortune and his sacred
honor to its success This clear ayowal Of
position is q step in the right direction, but
we think it'wOuld have become his Excel
lency to have made it sooner. He has oil
along been opposed to- Andrew Johnson's
Presidential policy, and if he had sooner
made 1t known, it would doubtless have
prevented much Of tho injury from misre-
presentation that has resulted from the &C.
cret and mischievous movements of the
Radical destructives at Nashville. Still.
since it did not suit his Excellency's de.
signs to make apparent his, opposition at
an earlier day, we feel disposed to thank
him for having done so even now. Andrew
johnson, we have an abiding confidence,
viii not be thrown by the announcement
into spasrns. He has been habituated, for
long series of years, to bitter and unrelent-
ing abuse and villification ct the hands of
our Governor, and that, too, when his ca
pacity for mischief was undiminished. and
there is little room to fear that the Presi.
dents capacity for evil has been SO immeas-
urably lessened by disease and old age
Poor old BrOwnlow!. '88F

WIsDoM-HUMAN AND DIvINE-Much of
human planning and management is lost be-
cause men cannot grasp the end from the be-
ginning, and understand how every step and
movement are to bear, in their relations, upon
all the parts of the great system. The military
chieftain may sit in his retired study, and with
his great and comprehensive mind, map out the
movements of regiments, and brigades, and bat
talions; enfold the enemy in his mighty embrace
SO surely and firmly that resistance seems folly,
and yet defeat may follow all those vigorous
plans and slaughtered and shattered armies
leave their offerings on the battlefield because
there was not wisdom enough to foresee how
one stratagem would be neutralized and made
worthless by another.
When we turn to God, we are sure of the
wisdom which embraces all things. He knows
how one thing bears upon another, and how the
actions Of to-day are related to the future in all
Its great and mighty mysteries. Here is the
ground Of human confidence in God.

Bury our dead From Rama shorel
From every beauteous Southland vale,
Is borne the saddest cry earth.
A mother country's childless wall!
Weep stricken land,
Weep for thy slain!
Oh give them back
Historic plain!
They rise! Proud mother bare thy breast
Dead sons would lay them down to rest!
Fathers By all the pride of blood
And name bequeathed from sire to son.
Untarnished they return the shield
BY honor s death the lost boy wonl
Grey veterans cOme
Each battle plain
Bears witching heaps
Of kindred slain!
10 martial step they are filing past,
Furloughed for home, you'll II meet at last
Mothers bereft Unburied sons
Claim graves upon ancestral sod
Thine are the hands to lift them up
And give them back again to God!
With feeble step,
And silvered head,
Ye childless Rachaels
Raise thy dead
While angels chant the martyr knell,
Aye, lift them gently where they fell.
Oh, sisters, who have early worn
Black grief in voiceless, deadly pain
vi stl1ed tears The sickening cry
For Rama's sturdy manhood slain
Come, maidens, come,
The task is ours,
To wreath their tombs
With Southern flowers
Come, softly, while the sad refrain
Floats on, oh bring them home again.
Brothers 4! Ye braves of willing hand,
Yere spared, but gallant comrades fell,
And few remain, in whispers low,
The glory of our Flag to tell
Men battle-scarredl
Heroic death
Is all at last!
Life's sweetest breath
Can give no more-the spirit throng
Cry, give us graves ye brothers strong!
Poor Widows who must yearn in vain,
With folding hands and dropping head
By dreary hearth-stones wet with tears
Come, help us lift our darling dead
Oh suffering wife,
Their voices grand,
Ask graves upon
The mother land
Where bright Magnolia forests steep
White incense-lay them down to sIeepl
Bury our dead Sad human cry!
Beneath the stately flame-scathed pine,
Or orange grove, where dark-eyed maids,
Bright chaplets evergreen may twine-
Brothers disarmed
The din is 'er,
Well ask for graves
And claim no more,
Save dropping flag and muf1ed drum
For Southern dead! come, Southrons, come

The Virginiaus.

Hon. Henry Clay Dean, of Iowa, in a speech
delivered at Hackensack, New Jersey, paid the
following tribute to the Virginians:
Il dare speak one kind word for the oppress-
ed IN the very teeth of the oppressor. Since
Adam took possession of Eden no part of his
heritage has given to man such an hundred
years OF history as that of Virginia, beginning
with the public life of George Washington. and
ending with the surrender of the armies of Gen.
robert b. Lee. The great orator. Patrick Hen
ry,. whose spirit lighted up the first gsert revo-
luton, and whose mild, sweet voice called ar
niles up the valleys, and down from the noun
tains, to defend New York, New JERSEY and
Massachusetts, from the invaders hoof, was a
VTglnlan. Thomas Jefferson, whose great soul
encompassed the world, and throwed its light
upon benlghted age to teach it liberty, was a.
Virginian. James Madison, who environed
our rights by fame Of living fire, which the
most illustrious period in the past and present e
century preserved unharmed all that was sacred
In lite and precious in shope-the Constitution
OF the United States-Was Virginian. John
Marshal, whose luminous mind, guided by i'm
mttable justice, gave being to a most profound
and comprehensive judiciary-the bulwark of
American institutions, the marvel of mankind
was Virginian. Henry Clay, whose command
ing majesty Of soul, drew after him, whitherso-
ever he went one full half of the whole moral
and intellectual power Of America, who did obe-
dience to his name, was a Virginian. The Lees
Richard Henry, Arthur, Francis, Lightfoot,
Lighthouse Harry, and his son, Robt r. Lee
were Virginians. Thomas Jonathan Jackson,
the great military genius of the Western Hem
lsphere, born on my own native Monongahela,
was Virginian. The Courts, Legislatures,
Forums and Pulpits of every State in the Union,
and every Government on the Continent have
been adorned by Virginians Their blood shed
in noble defence of Liberty, has redeemed every
valley, and their bones have bleached on every
mountain from Bunker Hill to the City of Mex
ico."

Life Leaves,

The day, with sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through the evenings golden gates,
And single star in the cloudess blue
For the rising moon in silence waits;
While the winds that sigh to the languid hours
A lullaby breathe O er the folded flowers.
The lilies nod to the sound of the stream
That winds along with lulling flow,
And either awake, or half dream,
nj l pass through the realms OF Long Ago;
While faces peer with many q smile
From the bowers of Memory magical isle
There are joys and sunshine, sorrows and tears
That check the path of life's April hours,
And longing wish for the coming years,
That hope ever wreaths with the fairest flowers;
There are friendships guileless-love as bright
And pure as the stars in the halls of night.
There are ashen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes, and a broken vow,
And an aching heart by the reckless main,
And the seabreeze tanning pallid brow;
And a wanderer on the shell-lined Shore
Listning for voices that speak no more.
There are passions strong and ambitions wild,
And the fierce desire to stand in the van
Ut the battle of life-and the heart of the child
Is crushed in the breast of the struggling man ;
But short are the regrets and few are the tears,
That fall at the tomb Of the banished years.
There is quiet and peace and domestic love,
And joys arising from fiath and TRUTH
And truth unquestening far above
The passionate dreamings of ardent youth;
And kisses of children on lips and cheek,
And the parents bliss which no word can speak
There loved ones lost There are little graves
In the distant dell, meath protecting trees,
Where the streamlet winds, and the violet waves,
And the grasses sway to the signing breeze;
And we mourn for pressure of tender lips,
And the light of eyes darkened in DEATH eclipse
And thus as the glow of the daylight dies,
And the nights first look to the earth is cast
l gaze, meath those beautiful summer skies,
At nj thafh in thob hall off
Oh, Sorrow and Joy, what a mingled lay
When to Memorys wildwood we wander away.

could wink at the same moment, the muscular
effort exerted would be sufficient to iostle the
earth out of its orbit.
1t all the oaths uttered in the United States
were required to be printed, it would employ all
the presses in the country, day and night, to
perform the labor and if tax was levied ON
them of one cent each, one year revenue would
be sufficient to transport all the mails. lay
double track railroad to the Pacific and pay
the public debt of every State in the Union.
The cigars consumed throughout the country
in one year would make worm fence six feet
high around the District of Columbia; and the
air expended in smoking them would drive
the Japan squadron round the world, with
enough over to do the windwork of all the pat
ent medicines
If all the elected tobacco quids were from this
time forth to be dropped on the dome of the
capital at Washington, the hail of Egypt would
be no comparison to the pelting storm, and the
edifce would be buried deeper than Nineveh,
before another meeting of Congress.
If all the lies told during one Presidential
campaign, could be boiled together, they would
make soap enough to wash the whole F.face of
Nature"

ELOQUENT, BUT INARTIcULATE. little
while ago, we passed half hour in village
grave yard, reading the inscriptions on those
tables of the law Of dust to dust
Upon one of them, carved in marble was a
chain. OF the nine links composing it, one was
broken
How legible the characters! How ineligible
the language In that family there were nine
once-a beautiful chain of affection, richer than
gold, but death had unloosed one link, and the
glittered with the dews distilled from loving
eyes.
Broken jewelry! How many such trinkets of
memory and affection there are in the homes of
the world-souvenirs whose possession should
render humanity hallowed Great grief makes
sacred those upon whom its hand is laid. Joy
may elevate ambition glorify, but sorrow alone

AS the sun converts the clouds into glorious

draping the whole horizon with it's glorious cos
tune, and writing victory in fiery colors along
the vanquished front of every cloud, so some

Our OWN FAULTs.-Let us not be over curl
Gus about the failings of others, but take ac-
count of our own; let us bear in mind the excel
lencies of other men when we reckon up our
own faults, for then shall we be well pleasing to
God. For he who looks at the faults of others,
and at his own excellencies, he is injured in two
ways; by the latter he is carried up to arrogance,
through the former he falls into listlessness.
For when he perceives that such an one hath sim
ned, very easily he will sin himself; when he
perceives he had in aught excelled, very easily
he becometh arrogant. He who consigns to OBJ
livion his own excelencies, and looks at his fail
ings only, while he is curious engineer of the
excellencies, not the sin of others, is profitable
in many ways. And how? [ will tell you
When he sees that such an one hath done excel
lently, he is raised to emulate the same; when
he sees that he himself hath sinned, he is rem
dered humble and modest. IF we thus regulate
ourselves, we shall be able to obtain the good
things which we are promised through the low
ing kindness Of our Lord Jesus Christ.-Saut

THE NEW SPRING BoNNET.-The new style
is finally announced. 1t is called the Gipsey.
Its shape is almost that of soup plate-cut to
fit close to the head-about one third of which
it covers. But little trimming is worn on the
outside, and still less on the inside, as the close
fitting of the thing prevents it. The Gipsey is
not pretty, but is certainly unique.
