Your FIRST SwEETHEART.-You can
never forget her. She was SO very young
and innocent and pretty. She had such o
way of looking at you over her hymn-book
in church. . She alone, of all the world, did
not think you boy at eighteenth, but Won
dered at your size, and your learning, and
your faint foreshadowing of o sandy NOUS
tache, and believed you every inch q man.
When OF those stupid evening parties, where
boys who should have been in the nursery,
and girls who should have eaten suppers of
bread and milk, and gone to sleep hours
before, waltzed and fiirted, and made them
selves i'll over oyesters and champagne, you
we're favored by glance of her eye or q
whisper from her lip, you assembled to the
seventh heaven Immediately. When once
upon certain memorable eve she polkaed
with the druggists clerk, and never looked
at you, how miserable you were. 1t is
funny to think Of it now, but it was not
funny then, for you were awfully in earnest.
Once at picnic she wore white dress,
and had roses twined in her black hair; and
she looked so like bride that you fairly
trembled. Some time you thought in just
such snowy costume, with just such blossoms
in her hair, she might stand beside the altar,
and you, most blessed of all mortals, might
place q golden ring upon her finger; and
when you were left alone with her for mo-
ment, some Of your thoughts would form
themselves into words, and though she
blushed and ran away, and would not let you
kiss her, she did not seem angry. And then
you were parted, somehow, for little while,
and when you met again she was walking
with gentleman large, well-whiskered
man of twenty -eight or thirty, and had
neither word or smile for you. And some
we'll meaning gossip informed you shortly
after that she was engaged to the tall gentle
man with black whiskers, and that it was $ D
splendid match. .s,gs
1t was terrible news to you then, and sent,
you off to some great city, far from your ma
tive place, where, after o great deal Of youth
ful grief, and many resolutions to die and
haunt her, you recovered your equanimity
and began to make money and to call love
stuff and nonsense. You have arrich wife.
of your own now, and grown-up children.

MR.. L1NcoLN's OPINION OF GENERAL
LEE.-Mrs. Keckley, the colored servant
of Mr.. Lincoln's family, says that on the
very morning of the assassination Presi-
dent Lincoln took up portrait OF. Gene
raj Lee, scanned the face thoughtfully,
and said "It is good face ; it is the face
of noble, noble, brave man. am glad
that the war is over at last" Looking up
at his son Robert, he continued: :" Well,
my son, you have returned safely from the
front. The war is now closed, and We will
soon live in peace with the brave men that
have been fighting against us. TRUST that
the era of good feeling has returned with
the close of the war, and that henceforth
we shall live in peace" Were President
Lincoln not dead he would, for such say
ings and thoughts as these, be denounced
as q frst-class, double-dyed traitor by
those who have now the hypocrisy to pre-
tend reverence for his memory.-Neao
York Times.

PETERSBURG. April 20, 1868.

PETERSBURG, April 20, 1868.
In nothing, perhaps, is the moral tendency
of the age more conspicuous than in the
energy with which the Sunday school cause
is sustained. Every Christian denomina-
ton is using its utmost exertions in bringing
the children generally under the influence Of
healthy and purifying course of instruc-
tion, until now there is no reason why every
child within the limits Of our city should fail
to profit by the benefits SO freely offered.
Lately we have had very interesting evil
dence of devotion to the cause in the meet
ing of the Baptist Sunday School Assoeia-
ton. The Episcopalians are extending
their missions, and are even unable to find
accommodations for the number of pupils
seeking admission. Nor are the Pres
byterians lukewarm in the good work.
But none of these exceed, if indeed they
equal the Methodists. Their organization
is as perfect as it well can be; and at the
monthly union Of the several schools the
exercises are Of a kind deeply interesting
to pupils of so tender I'm age. One of these
meetings occurred yesterday, when six Of
the schools, with their teachers, met at the
Washington street church. 1t was indeed
most encouraging and animating specta-
Gle. Bishop Doggett was present to address
them, which he did in serious and inn
pressive manner, while Mr.. r. NJ. Smith en-
tertained them with refreshing and instruc-
tive anecdotes. Singing and recitations
formed u part of the exercises. Not to
burden your columns with too large an ar
ray of figures, It will be sufficient to give
the following summary of operations for the
last month: f@ 80 -

zation, 327'; average attendance, 25s.

AN ARABIAN CITY.---The sun was yet
| two hours' distance above the western hori-
zon when we threaded the narrow and
| winding defle tillwe arrived at its further
end. Here we found ourselves on the verge
of q large plain, many miles in length
| and breadth, and girt ON every side by
high mountain rampant, while right In
front of us, at scarce quarter OF an
hours march, lay the town of Hayel,
surrounded by Notifications of about
twenty feet in height, with bastion towers,
some round, some square, and large folding
gates at intervals; it offered the same show
of freshness, and even Of something like
irregular elegance that had before struck
us in the villages on our way. But
this was full-grown town, and its area
might readily hold three hundred thou
sand inhabitants or more were its streets
and houses close packed like those of
Brussels or Paris. But the number of
citizens does not in fact exceed twenty or
twenty-five thousand, thanks to the many
large gardens, open spaces, and even plan
,tations, included within the outer walls,
while the immense palace OF the monarch
alone, with its pleasure grounds annexed,
occupies about one-tenth of the entire
city. I Our attention was attracted by
lofty tower, some seventy feet in height,
of, recent construction and oval form,
belonging to the royal residence. The
plain all around the town is studded
with. isolated houses and gardens, the pro-
perty of wealthy citizens, or of members of
the kingly family, and on the far-of skirts
of the plain appear the groves belonging to
Kafar, Adwah, and other villages, placed at
the openings Of the mountain gorges that
conduct to the capital. Tho town walls
and buildings shone yellow in the
evening sun, and the whole pros
pect was one Of thriving security delight
full to view, though wanting in the pecu-
liar luxuriance of vegetation offered by the
valley of Djowf.. A few Bedouin tents lay
clustered by the ramparts, and the great
number of horsemen, footmen, camels, asses,
peasants, townsmen, boys, women, and other
like, all passing to and fro on their various
avocations, gave cheerfulness and animation
to the scene.-London Spectator.
