A CONFESSION A French newspaper recently
published a curious confession, which the late
Eugene Sue made to one of his friends : "At
the battle Of Navarino, the French officers ran
forward on plank thrown from one ship to an
other so as to form a sort of gangway. NAH
moud was the name of the Turkish vessel. As
Aide Major, | followed the officers with an axe
in my hand. Powder and the roar Of the cannon
bad made a madman of me. ! belabored, right
and left, the poor wretches who raised their
hands to signify quarter. Out upon i'll gave
them my axe on their heads, on their faces, on
their breasts on men standing and fighting,
and on men fallen on the deck. gave them my
axe without rhyme or reason, without giving
thought to the subject, hitting righ: and lett
buried my axe in tbe dead, in the WOUNDED, IN
the prisoners in doors, in hammoeks, netllngs'
shrouds, masts, cabin windows, negro ooy,

The Reaper and the Flowers.

There is Reaper, whose name is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the the bearded in breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall have nougth that is fair ~ saith he,
"Have nought but the bearded grainl
Though the breath of those flowers is sweet to n
| will give them all back again"
lie gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kissed their dropping leaves;
1t was for the Lord of Paradise,
lie bound them in his sheaves.
my Lord has need of these Aowerets gay
The Reaper said and smiled
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once child"
"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again,
In the fields of light above.
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.

The JACKALs AND THE LGoN.-The so'called
"Union Leagues" of New York, like jackals,
emboldened by numerical strength, attacked the
old lion of the Tribune whose trail they have
hitherto followed, and they expected to have a
dinner party over bis carcass; but the lion had
not lost his vigor, as they supposed, and his first
roar of defiance frightened them all into the
brush. Horace Greedy has done bothing more
for Davis than ho would do for any other
man whose long Imprisonment without trial
outraged his sense of right. When first it was
reported that he had offered himself as bonds
man for Davis, a Western editor who was much
excited about it, addressed an Indignant editorial
to Greeley and asked if it were possible that he
(Greeley) could do such a thing. "Ies," re-
piled Greeley, "and | would effer to bail you
or any other vagabond who might be confined
in prison and denied a trial under the laws OF
your country" The historian who relates how
such men as Greeley, Ward Beecher, and Gerrit
Smith, were denounced as crazy radicals yester-
day, and condemned today tor not being rad
ical enough, will find apt comparisons in the in
cidents of warfare, wherein officers wo supported
the courage of their troops during the heat OF
the battle, lost their authority in the hour Of
victory, and could not restrain sack and pillage.
The fact is, Mr.. Greeley is inclined to be friend
of the negro without being enemy of the
white man. He has the good sense and maguan-
unity Of the soldier who can make peace after
the fighting is done; and instead of abusing
those whom he has conquered, he prefers win
ming their friendship and making them his CO.
adjutors. The distinction between Caesar and
the Vandals was no less striking, than that be
tween Horace Greeley aud many of the Union
Leaguers of New York, who never participated
in the battle, but who never cease growing over
victory, nor miss an opportunity to freshen the
animosities of strife, aud to keep alive the re-
sentiments it eugendered. Henry Ward Beecher
calls such creatures UermiH:-S. r. Call.

How TO TREAT BALKY HoRsEs-If you
have balky horses, it is your fault, and not
the horses for if they do not pull true, there
is some cause for it, and if you will remove
the cause, the effect will cease When your
horse balks he is excited, and does not know
what you want him to do. When be gets
little excited stop him five or ten minutes;
let him become calm; go to the balky horse,
pat him and speak gently 10 him; and as
soon as he is over his excitement, he will,
in nine cases out of ten, pull at the word.
Whipping and slashing and swearing only
make the matter worse. After you have
gentled him awhile, and his excitement has
cooled down, take him by the bits turn
hi each way a few minutes as far as you
can; pull out the tongue, gentle him little,
unreiD him, then step before the balky horse
and let the other start first; then you can
take them anywhere you wish. A balky
horse is always high spirited and starts
quick; half the pull is out before the others
start; by standing before him, the others
start too. By close application to this rule,
you can make any balky horse pull. If q
horse has been badly spoiled, you should
hitch him to the empty wagon, and pull il
around while on level ground; then put
on a little load and increase it gradually
caressing as before, and in a short time you
can have good work horse.-AE'erleaN

COPPER ORE.

A rich strike has been made in copper
ore, near Beaver Town, on the Prickly Pear,
in the gulch known as "copper" Gulch: ::
Flakes Of pure copper were panned out IN
this gulch last summer, by some parties who
were prospecting in the neighborhOod' On
their representations stampede took place
and the gulch was staked of. Two comPa,,
nies were organized-the Superior and
"Copper"-for the purpose of more thor
oughiy testing the gulch, and more or less
work has been done on it for over year
Last Friday, the efforts of one party were
crowned with complete success. They han
started a tunnel into the hill, aud after run

A LADY SPEcULAroR.-A lady in the southern
part of Illinois, having a few hundred dollars,
concluded to try her fortune speculating in wheat
She wrote accordingly TO prominent commits
sion house in Chicago, engaging them to act as
her agents, and ordering them to invest the eu-
tire sum in that treacherous staple. In short
time, contrary to all expectation, it went up to
surprising figure, and the fair speculator SOLD
out at great advance. Shortly after she again
telegraphed her agents to purchase large
amount, but they replied in the same manner
that The market was very much depressed, and
they would not advise her to buy. For answer
she repeated her order, and by the late advance

A BlBULus ISNUENDo.-Some years ago, when
the total abstinence excitement was at its hight,
and the Maine Liquor law was the great social
question of the day, called, with George Ken
dali, of the New Orleans Picdyune, at the Office
of the brothers Harper, then in Cliff street.
George was running his new book on Mexico
through their press at the time, and having been
acquainted with the Brothers for many years
previously, was of course on the most intimate
terms with all of them.
James, the Mayor, was at that time leading
apostle in the temperance cause, and used
occasionally to rally George upon what he
thought to be evidence of an undue bibulous
propensity, "Your face looks rather reddish
this morning George I'm afraid you indulge"
Which Kendall certainly did, but always in
moderatiou-never to anything like excess.
After sitting few moments, George said to
the Youngest brother, Fletcher:
"Fletcher, where's jim where's tue mayor
| want to see him"
"He's in the library room," replied Fletcher,
ueutertaiuiug a committee of old women from
the Martha Washington Temperance Society.
They hold meeting at the Tabernacle tc-mor-
row night, aud the Mayor is going to preside. "
"Good," said George; "I'll go right in and
see him. Come Clark" added Kendall, 'let
US see how the citys Chief Magistrate looks in
council"
George raped at the door.
"Come in" answered the Mayor
Kendall opened the door slowly, as if in hes.
tation, glanced askance at the eight or ten old
women, winked knowingly at tue Mayor, and
then said, with an inimitable maudin Jimmy
Twitcher air: ..
"J.i-m, let's go out and take another drinkP'
1t is not often that any one can fuster James
Harper; but ''you believe" be was iustered on
this occasion. He looked horror-stricken at the
yery idea, as be returned the astonished gaze
of The old ladies. "Anotber drinkP' as if they
had already had Que together, early as it was
in the morning.
Last summer saw George on his return from
Paris We reminiscized upon this incident, and
Kendall said
81 have never heard anything from Jim from
that day To this about my indulging."
