Art thou drowsy. dull, Indifferent,

Living without air or motion
Save thyself to please,
Careless as the beasts that perish,
Sitting at thine case?

Rings in startling tone;

Strike through hearts of stone.
Sounding o er the clash and clatter
Of this earth vain din,
Unto you that live in earnest,
And that work to win.

In it we find the following exceedingly in.
teresting correspondence, which has pew

says: ave are informed by Mr.. Stephens
that no person had ever seen the letters of
Mr.. Lincoln to him until since his return
from Fort Warren in 1865, except his pri.
vate secretaries" The. "For your own
life" Of Mr.. Lincoln, has been sacredly
observed, as far as possible, so long as it
was deemed at al necessary or proper
The letters are as follows:

A wild, wet night The driving sleet
Blnrs all the lamps along the quay
The windows shake !; the busy street
Is yet alive with hurrying feet,
The winds rave from the sea
So let it rave Ny lamp burns bright;
My long days work is done
cul tain out each sound and sight
OF all nights in the year, tonight,
choose to be alone.
Alone, with doors and windows fast,
Before my o, en- desk | stand,
Alas can twelve long months be past,
My hidden, hidden wealth, since last
held thee in my hand?
So there it lies From year to year
see the ribbon change the page
Turns yellower and the very tear
That blots the writing, disappears
And fades away with age
My eyes grow dim when they behold
The precious trifes boarded there
A ring Of battered Indian gold,
A withered harebell, and fold
OF sunny chestnut hair.
Not all the riches of the earth,
Not all the treasures of the SEQ,
Could buy those house-gods from my
hearth
And yet the secret CT their worth
Must live and die with me.

CRAwFoRDvILLE, Ga, l4th Dec, 1860.
MY DEAR SIR: Your short and polite
note of the Both ult,, asking for revised
copy of the speech to which you refer,
&C., was not received until last night
The newspaper report of the speech has
never been revised by me. The notes of
the reporter were submitted to me, and
corrected to some extent before being pub
lished, but not so thoroughly as | could
have wished. The report was substan-
TALLY correct. 1t | had had any idea that
it would have been so extensively circula-
ted as it has been, and been reputlshed
In so many places throughout the country
as it has been, should have prepared a
copy for the press in the first instance
But had no such thought, and therefore
let the report 60 as it did. There are
several verbal inaccuracies in it, but the
main points appear sufficiently clear for all
practical purposes. The country is Ger.
tainly in great peril, and no man ever had
heavier or greater responsibilities resting
upon him than you have 10 the present
momentous crisis.
Yours, most respectfully,
ALEXANDER Fl. STEPHENS.

word, and raising heavy chair struck
her terrible blow with it on her head,
and upon her groaning he repeated tho
blows until he supposed life was extinct.
But to reassure biwself Of this fact he
placed his ear next to her heart to ascer.
