In tho hush of the winter midnight
In the hush of the sleeping house
2 When no weird wind stirs iii the gloomy frs,
The spirits of storm to reuse. ;n'i
When never CLINT of moonlight
Cleans from tho great black sky
by the red iro's glow, as it shoulders low,
We crouch, my letters and I.
My letters, they licwhcrc I tossed them, .
IL Ontho crimson hcarthrug there,
Still, vivid, and bright, in the ruddy light,
AS cobras in their lair.
Ipush the hnir from my forehead,
Tlut burns md throbs so fast,
Thinking the while, with strange dull smile,
IL. Ofthc task must do Mt last
Who knows but I, tho comfort
Those foolish letters have been?
The depth and scopc-tlc strength and hope
Ofthosc 'lcaycs' thnt arc always ssgrccn'?'
Who knows but l. how sadly,
Tomorrow, and my dream,
by the ashes grey will weep and say,
'Woc's me for that vanished CLEAN.
sThc CLEAN of idle gladhess,
The glimmcr of memories bright,
That hid in each line oftlosc letters of mine
Those letters burn to-night?"
Ah we'll! the dream was folly;
Its joy was an idle thing,
Itshopc was lie, and its loyalty
Died of n whispers sting.
So a kiss-the last-io my letters,
A rcsolutc hand, and-therc!
Do the Sad dark eyes of my Paradise
: Meet mine througi. the fierce flames fare?

Down TO Zero,

1t is pleasant to contemplate a
'eool thing" in dog days, but with
the Thermometer ranging from zert
down to more intense frigidity,
things may become too cool for calm
contemplation. Cheap advice, at
times may assume, from the pecul-
lar circumstances of the case, some
thing like this cooling temperature.
About the coolest thing of the sea
son IS the following charactc ristic
epistle from the Apostle Of Plym-
outh church to the profane Parson
DrOwnIOw
"MY DEAR GOVERNOR: X
What the people, above all things s,
need just now, is that one Southern
State should of its own will. and by
the vote Of its own people, come up
fully Oh to the platform Of equal
rights and full citizenship for all
men.
There, isn't that impudent as we'll
as cool !! seeing that New York, Mr..
Beecher's own State, and nearly all
the northern Internationally loyal
States have refused and are still
refusing to come, 'onto the plat
form Of equal rights and full citizen
ship for all men" that this extreme
example Of loyalty should be de-
manded from southern state"
The gratuitous advice that Ten
nessee begin the experiment at her
own cost, has striking parallel OF
disinterestedness to this, in the SUBJ
lime unselfshness Of the monkey in
the fable, using tho cats paws to
pull his own chestnuts out of the fire,
This clerical bumbug can see mote
Of ponderous proportions in the eyes
Of his Tennessee brethren, but never
once observes the similar beam lin
the aye Of his Nev York brethren.

The Riohmond Enquirer and E1dIa-
ineI. has a very poor opinion, just now,
of the "Old Dominion" and thinks that
"Me Virginia which owes its greatness
in no small degree to the yalor of her
soldiers, the eloqusnce of he' orators
and the wisdom of her statesmen, is not
that virgin of noble mein and fearless
and sublime courage who stands senti-
mel over the prostrate body and broken
sword OF tue tyrant, but it is great
Ige1tch, with dishonored name and drag
gled robes and disoheveled locks" A
remarkable fine sentence. If this "vir-
gin" had refused to listen to ''its" se-
cession wooers and hearkened to "her''
orators and statesmen, who bravely
stood out against the seductions OF
treason, sit" would not be the "base
wench" cher" present appearance in
