A STORY YOUNG MEN.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.

A young man lay upon sofa in wax
ing dream. His thoughts were in the fu-
ture, and fancy dwelt with brilliant ina ges.
On the morrow he was to depart for dis
tant city, and there enter into law Office
to study the profession he had chosen. He
had talents and was ambitious. Up to this
period of his life he had dwelt chiefly in the
country. receiving his education at col
lege in the neighborhood He was pure
minded, free from the vices, that sensual
ize so many of our young men
So lost was he in his waking dream that
present things faded out of his mind. FTe
saw only success, the proud satisfaction
that awaited him in the future.
Il will stand among the first" he said
in his thoughts, with every pulse leaping
in full throbs along the arteries.
A kiss upon his forehead dispersed his
fancies, and instead Of unreal thing he
saw the face of his mother bending over
him. How full of love it was ?-tender,
yearling, anxious love.
How can let you go, Alfred ?" she
murmured.
at is hard, dear mother" he answered
drawing his arm around her neck and kiss
ing her fondly in return But it is best.
You sec that as well as | do, [ could live
but half a life here in the country. You

larger sphere. You shall be proud Of your
son, dear mother"
On the next day he went away.
\ large city is dangerous place for a
young man who has no charmed home
circle to draw him from its many false en-
Elements. If the young mans early years
have been passed in the country the dan
ger is still greater

communing with himself.
"We must know the world if we could
tread its path with sure foot. I am not

Gen. Albert Sydney johnson.

A correspondent Of the Richmond Dis
patch furnishes the following ''Oration Of
a Reconstructed Rebel over the dead body
of Albert Sidney Johnson" which he allie
ges was 'spicked up in the street.:
My Friends-I come to bury Johnson,
not to praise him-so our masters have
ordered. The Saviour Of the world teach
Ircs us to render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesars, and obedience to the conquer
ors is the duty Of the conquered.
Let, then, no heightened cortcge, no
mourning trappings, speak peoples woe
Let us haste to hide from the eyes of men
these poor remains, which speak in tones
that frightened our lords and masters -
Upon the plain marble slab that shall mark
his last resting place inscribe no panege-
I rics inEcribe no name-for that name is of
itsele pauegeric. It would remind you
of the affectionate husband, the loving fa-
Their, the devoted friend, the gallant chief
tain, the noble christian gentleman; and
all these things you are commanded to
forget. On the plains of Mexico he she'd
his precious blood for his country, and
won the plaudits Of his countrymen. He
he died in what he believed to be Just
cause, and lives in She hearts of those for
whom he died But Butler says he was a
traitor, and surely Butler is an honorable
man.
It is not the Custom Of Christian nations
to deny the funeral honors to fallen foe,
but this mans FERNS an exception. His
name is SO dear to an enslaved people that
they are forbid to speak it. This is an
honor that was not accorded to Hampden
CT to Emmett. It is monument enough;
he can dispense with marble inscription or
stored urn Let US, then, silently, sadly
and secretly-for SO it is ordered bury
our dead. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes!

And never making shifting;
You smile in every whiskered face,

You load with jewels, faunt in lace,
And show your angry passions.
