quantity of Greek fire or PHOSPHORUS has

MEMORY.
BY FIrz-GnEESE HALLEcE.

Strong as that power, whose strange contr
Impels the torrents force;
Directs the needle to the pole,
And bids the waves of ocean roll
In their appointed course;
So powerful are the ties that bind
The scenes of childhood to the mind;
So firmly to the heart adheres
The memory Of departed years.
Whence is this passion in the breast?
That when the past we view,
And think on pleasures once possessed,
In Fancy's fairest colors dressed,
Those pleasures we renew
And why do Memory's pains impart
A pleasing sadness to the heart?
What potent charm to all endears
The days Of our departed years?
True many a rosebud, blooming gay,
Life's opening path adorns;
But all who tread that path will say,
That mid the flowers which strey its way,
Are cares corroding thcrns.
But still the bosom viii retain
Affection even for hours of pain;
And we can smile though bathed in tears,
At memory of departed years.
'Tis distance, our bewildered gaze
On former scenes beguiles,
And Memory's charm the eye betrays;
For while enjoyments it displays
And robes the past in smiles,
Its hattering mirror proves untrue,
Conceals the sorrow from our view,
And hides fhe griefs, the doubts and fears,
That darkened our departed years
Time, when our own, we oft despise-
When gone, its loss deplorei
Nor till the aeeting moment flies
Do mortals learn its worth to prize,
When it returns no more.
For this an anxious look we cast,
With fond regret, on hours long past
For this the feeling heart reveres
The memory Of departed years.

.sJUsT THIS ONCE,

''Just this once," the tempter said,
With smiling lip;
Thus enticed, the victim took
The fatal slip;
And years rolled on; his doom is we'd
Death glooms above the drunkard's bed.
''Just this once,n the tempter said,
With Turing voice;
Trembling the victim threw
The rafting dice;
And years rolled on; the rivers wave
Rolls darkly 'er gamblers grave.
just this once" the tempter said,
''No one shall know"
The victim, thoughtless, gave his soul
To eeaseless woe;
And years rolled on; oh, fearful scene !
The death bed of the libertine.
'Just this once" the tempter said,
my faith pledge"
The victim dreamed not that her deed
Was ruin edge;
The years roll on; ah, It's the same
A suicidal death of shame.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE IN RECoNsTRUC-
TToN.-Thaddeus Stevens has sent the fol-
lowing letter to Col Forney:-
DEAR SIR-I have long, and withsuch
ability as | could command, reflected on the
utiect of the Declaration of Independence,
and finally have come to the sincere con-
i6alienaIaG- .srssl suffrage was one of he
in that instrument by our fathers at the
tire - of the Declaration, and that they were
prevented from inserting it in the Constitu-
ton by slavery alone. They had no in
tention to abandon it as one of the finally
enumerated rights, out simply to postpone
it. The Committee on Reconstruction nave
inserted that provision with great unanimity
in the bill admitting the State of Alabama
in the Union. They have finally resolved
that no State shall be admitted into the
Union unless under that condition. ! have
deemed this notice necessary, that the State:
now in process of construction or recon
struction may be advised thereof. Yours
THADDEUs STEVENS.

NEWSPAPER LAws.-We would call the special
attention Of Post Masters and subscribers to the
IxQuIEEn to the following synopsis Of the News
paper laws:
l. A Postmaster is required to give notice By
letter, returning paper does not answer the law)
when a subscriber does not take his paper out Of
the office, and state the for its not being
taken; and neglect to do so makes the Postmas-
ter repsoasible 70 the publishers for the payment
., Any person who takes paper from the Post
Office, whether directed TO his name or another. or
whether be has subscribed or not is responsible
for The pay.
3. If person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arreG-agts, the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount, '5heftcr if be taken ty9n,
The gtfee or not There can be no legal diseontin-
uence until the payment s made
4. If the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped az certain time, and the publisher con
tuu5s to send, the subscriber is bound to pay for
It, ff he takes Il oit Of the Pest Office. The law
proceeds upon the ground that man must pay
for what he uses.
b. The oeurts have decided that refusing te take
newspapers and periodicals from the Post Office,
or removing and having them unealled for, is
primo faciG evidence of intentional fraud.
