The W-OIfand the Lamb.

General Pope is evidently laboring
under hallucination about the Mo.
bile riot so,called. We very much
wish that he would visit this Mobile
part of the vice~royality and see for
himself how mistaken he is about the
ten per Of the population. Before God,
we are iu the situation of the lamb
who drank water from the curren!
below the WOLF and yet was accused by
the wolf, as an excuse for quarrel, OF
muddying the stream. If he will come
here aad inspect the old court house
ruined wall, in front of which Kelley
spoke, and which the liar who telegraphs
TO the New York Herald says was at.
tacked, and can find a single shot mark
on all its expansive front, we will agree
that the Radicals are patriots and Chris
tians, and the S. S. bill isa finality "
aud monument Of wisdom, statesman.
ship and justice. And again. if he can
show, from all the carefully sifted evil
dence, that one white man in that crowd
fired gun or pistol, or was even armed,
or that one negro was hurt so far as the
abrasion of his skin, we will give it up
that this people have not been disgrace
fully and damuably slandered and be-
lied by the reports that have gone forth
and been gobbled up in regard to their
conduct on that occasion. We saw with
our own eyes, brave young fellows who
had looked death and battle in the eye
fifty times, under Ice, and Johnston,
and Bragg, retreating from that scene
of confusion from considerations of sheer
prudence, and 10 order that Radical
liars might have no occasion to misrep-
resent and SANDER their people 10 their
political prejudice And this is the re-
ward of their good sense and mOdcra,
tion God will not allow justice to be

/ AN INDIGNANT WoALAN.--Some
"horfid wret4ho p having ventured on
the opinion that aa{womau who
loves unsoIght deserves the scorn of
the man she loves,n is shot dead by
the following from lady correspon-
dent:
"Heaven forgive me, but may the
man who penned that never, see an

arms ever encircle his cravat, or but
tons Vegetate on his shirt. May no
rosy lips ever press his moustache,
and the fates grant that his dicky
strings break short off every morn
ing. May no woman's heart ever
learn to beat faster, except with in
Ggnation, at the mention of his
name, and may his stockings always
need darning.
"And when has nerves are unstrung
by disease, and his head throbs with
pain, as though an earthquake were
brewing in it, may he have nothing
In his eick chamber but boot heels,
and see not one inch of muslin or
crinoline.
"Give her love unasked! O, with
true-hearted man, this would, me-
thinks, be the reason of reasons why
he should love her. She gives to him
her whole heart-for in these things
woman does not work by halves-not
from gratitude, because he loves her;
not from pity or charity, because he
has begged it of her; but because
because-dear me! it will take more
of philosopher than I am to account
for the undeniable fact that women
do sometimes love the horrid crea-
lures called men,"

THE CORRUPTION OF ANCIENT POM
Pm.-A correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, who has lately been at
the buried city in Italy, writes as
follows: v.
"There is one matter in relation to
Pompeii that is seldom touched on
by writer's, and which I dare not
touch too closely, to wit: The horri-
BILE depravity of the Pompeians, as
illustrated by the frescoes, sculptures
and bronze statues that are found.
Hundreds of these vile objects have
been carried away to the museums in
Naples, and put in room which no
woman is allowed to visit; but there
are still houses in Pompeii that are
kept locked, and others that have
such sculptures over the doors on the
outside that the guides hurry past
them when there are women in the
party. Even in private houses there
are scores of frescoes-magnificently
executed, too-which one would dare
to visit only in company with his
earnest and dearest friends, if ladies';
and in other houses pictures end
statues than which none can imagine
anything worse. I cannot under
stand why the writer's on these mat
ters have been 80 anxious to conceal
the fanlts of the ancients. It is O.
fact that deserves to be generally
known. Great God! what picture
of corruption in imperial Rome is
revealed to one who looks into Pom
peii with anything. like thoroughness.
The very stone of the door-posts tell
a tale more damnable than ever was
invented by modern thought. So.
dom was clean, and Gomorrah was
pure, compared with Pompeii.
Where was ever a people on earth,
before or since Pompeii, that 'adver-
tised the ways that lead down to hell
by sculptures placed in the open
light of the street? Out, damned
spotp cried the still infant genius of
modern civilization and Christianity,
as it looked in upon Pompeii, and
Vesuvius responded to the command
and sent his consuming fires to do
the work"

THE DIGNITY OF LABoR.-The Bos-
ton Commercial BuNetin tells the fol-
lowing, which some employers will
not fail to appreciate:
We were never more impressed
with the dignity of labor than while
witnessing, few days since, u group
OF "down-trodden working men"
engaged in putting up some machine
ry. There were five of them, or
rather four men and boy, and at the
time they came under our notice,
$50 p. M, one was engaged in slow
ly turning over the contents of box
in search of screw, two were look
ing with much interest for the labors
of No. 1, the fourth was slowly
scratching piece of iron with file,
aud the boy was scratching his head.
No. finally found q screw to suit
him, but during the search his pipe
had gone out. Laying down the
screw, he began to investigate his
pocket for q match. Nos. 2 and 8
searched theirs in sympathy, while
the filer paused to see the result.
Finally No. Q found match, ignited
it and handed it to No. 1, who, hav-
ing accomplished light, smoked for
a few minutes to assure himself of
the fact, while the boy went to the
other room to look at the clock. No.
then looked at his watch and COM
pared time with No. 8. Time, $40.
No. then put the screw into posi-
tion to fasten bar. No. 2 held the
bar, No. 3 squinted at it from the
other side of the machine. No. 4
inspected the whole operation refec-
lively, as he slowly resumed his filing,
and the boy wiped the oil from his
fingers. Time, 5.45.

Faliina Leaves.

They are falling, slowly falling,
Thick upon the forest side, Is <
Severed nom the noble branches, =,
Where they waved in beautcons pride;
They are falling in the valleys,
Where the early violets spring,
And the birds in sunny spring-time
First their dulcet music sing. "
They are falling, sadly falling, ~
Close beside our cottage door;
Pale and faded, like the loved ones,
They have gone forever more.
They are falling, and the sunbeams
Shine in beauty soft around; ;
Yet the faded leaves are falling,
Falling on the moesy ground.
They are falling on the streaml9t,
Where the silvery waters flow,
And upon the placid bosom
Onward with the blue waves go;
They are falling in the church-yard,
Where our kindred sweetly sleep,
Where the iile winds Of summer
Softly DER the loved ones sweep.
They are falling, ever falling,
When the autumn bree2es sigh,
When .hhe stars in beauty glisten
Bright u Jon the midnight sky;
They are falling when the temp est
Means like oceans hollow roar,
When the tuneless winds and billows
Sadly sigh foreYermore.
They are falling, they are felling,
While our saddened thoughts still 60
To the sunny days OF childhood,
In the dreamy long ago;
And their faded hues remind US
OF the blasted hopes and dreams
Faded like the falling leaflets
Cast upon the icy streams.
