Pope aud Lee-A Contrast.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
contributes the two following anecdotes
Two little incidents IN the history OF Gen. Pope,
Of the federal army, and Gen. Lee, OF the Con.
federse very forcibly illustrate the difference in
the character of the two men-one Of the army OF
the Potomac, and the other of the army OF North
ern Virginia. The story Of the former was re-
lated by an attache of Gen. Pope, and that of the
latter by q surgeon in the Confederate army.
While Gen. Pope attired 10 a gorgeous suit OF
uniform, and with hat in hand, was walking not
far from his quarters, be was aceossd by small
man dressed in plain suit OF black.
"This is Gen. Pope, believe" said the civilian.
Pope is my name, sir" and after casting
hasty and indignant glance at the stranger.

naughty stare. continued his walk. The stranger
was somewhat abashed, but gathering new cour-
sge he sgain addressed himself to Gen. Pope:
''My business is private and wish to see Gen.
Pope alone.n
dSee my adiutant sir,r exclaimed Gen. Pope,
in an authoritative tone, and TONED Indignantly
away.
tsut generals Office and addressed peremptory
order to Gen. Pope, requiring his immediate
presence. Signed - - assistant secretary
Of war.
Pope was thunderstruck, and sent word by the
adiutant general that be would see him IN ftteeI
minutes.
The assistant secretary immediately sent an
| other order demanding his presence forthwith
| and Pope soon presented himself, with hat under
| lis arm, and made an apology 10 the secretary
which was waived by the latter.
| On the 3Oth Of June. 1852, during tue greal

| scene Of action, had dismounted under cluste
of trees, and was apparently listening TO the ros

by q surgeon Of one Of the corps for Geld hos

| Hill that all the shade Of the little promontor
was required for the comfort Of the wounded

whom he supposed 10 be only citizen sttrscte

The Sword and PIow.

There was o.. cea count, so I've heard it said

And be called his sons before his bed,
To part among them bis goods and gear.

That gallant, good and bfSYe;
They brought him both at their father's word,
And thus be his blessing gave:
my irst-born son, my pride and might,
Do thou my sword retain;
My cattle on the lordly height,
And all my broad domain.
ION thee my well-loyed younger boy.
My pillow hear bestow,
A peaceful life shalt thou enjoy
In the quiet vale below"
Contented sank the sire TO rest,
Now all was given awav;
The sons held true his last behest,
Fen on their dying day.
" Now tell us what came of the steel Of flame,
OF the castle and it's knight
And tell US what came Of the vale so tame,
And the humble peasant wight?"
o, ask not of me what the end may bel
Ask of the country round
The cattle are DUST the sword is rust,
The height is but desert ground.
But the vale spreads wide in the golden pride
OF The autumn sunset glow;
II teens and il ripens far and wide,
And the honor sbides with the pillow.

SCARCITY OF FUEL IN FRANCB.-One feature
OF the landscape will impress the observer where
ever be may go in France. II is oceasioned by
the general deficiency of fuel So great is this
deficiency that wood has to be cultivated with the
same care and diligence as the cereals and for
this reason, wherever ground is moist, trees are
plsuted-quick growing trees like the wilow-snd
from these, once q year, the limbs are Cut of,
leaving nothing but the trunks, from which new
limbs sprout and grow, TO be in their turn cut OIL
And these mutilsted trunks like gsunt skeletons,
stare out upon you from every side. lnnumerable
they ere, and at their feet very frequently their
limbs lie gathered into bundles like sheaves OF
wheat, 10 be sold thereafter by the pound. Think
Of buying wood by the pound! At the hotels 10
Paris they will give you enough to last, in cold
day. from four 70 five hours, for fifty cents 10 gold
Expensive fuel that. Sheer necessity will drive
yol, before long, to carefully treasure your raisir
stems for kindling.

Al Last.
BY MISS MULoCH.

Down, down like q pale leaf dropping
Under On autumn sky,
My love dropped into my bosom
Quietly, quietly.
There was not ray Of sunshine
And not a sound In the air,
As she trembled into my bosom
My love, no longer fair.
All year round in her beauty
She dwelt on the tree top high;
She danced In the summer breezes,
She laughed to the summer sky.
I lay no low 10 the gross dews,
She sat so high above,
She never wist Of my longing,
She never dreamed OF my love.
But when winds laid bare her dwelling,
And her heart could find no rest,
called-and she huttered downward
Into my faithful breast.
I know that my love is fading;
know ] cannot fold
Her fragrance from the frost blight,
Her beauty from the mould;
Butte little, little longer
"a She shall coutented lie,
And wither away in the sunshine
Silently, silently.
Come when thou wilt, grim Winter,
My year Is crowned and blest;
II when my love Is dying
She die upon my breast.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN NORTH CAROLINA
SeUerdl Men Shot, Lady Burned 10 tedth.-
There reaches u.s. from an entirely reliable source
the painful intelligence that on Saturday night
last the sheriff Of Pitt county, accompanied by
several soldiers, proceeded to the house OF Red
dick Carney to arrest the son OF that gentleman
upon q charge of homicide several months since.
They reached Mr.. Carney's at midnight and dc.
manded q surrender, which was promptly refused,
ard the attempt to break into the house was re-
sisted, and firing on both sides commenced.
George a young Carney, was killed Mr. White.
hurst, son-in-law Of Reddick Carney, was severely
il not MORALLY wounded; Reddick Carney and
Miss Perkins, daughter Of Wm. Perkins, who were
spending the night at Mr., Carney's are supposed
tohsve been burnt in the house, fred by the at
taeking party. The dwelling and smoke-house,
with all the provisions, were consumed. Two
soldiers were killed, I've wounded, and the officer
shot through the fesny part OF the arm. Mr..
Whitehurst was captured, and Mrs. Carney aud
her daughter, Mrs. Whitehurst, escaped from the
burning building.
The sheriff carried Mr.. Whitehurst to Greenville
and thus ended one of the most bloody episodes
Of this age, in Eastern North Carolina.
We recollect distinctly the charge made, months
ego, that young Carney had killed an officer who
had attempted TO 20 up an upstairs when warneC
not 10 DO &C., but thought the case had been sdJu
dicated long since. II Is remarkable that the 81
tempt to arrest him should have been made at I
dead boar OF night when il is well known that be
was in she habit, openly and frequently, OF go.n
TO G.eenyille, and other public places in th
| County, for months past.

Moral ApLoriams.

Forget others faults remember thine own.
Great hearts, like the ocean, never CONCEAL.
Be pure, but not stern; have moral excellences,
but don't briste with tbem.
man, living in the activities OF the nineteenth
century, is q condensed Methuselah.
The less man makes OF himself the more Of o
man he Is.
Religion is as necessary to reason as reason is to
religion.
Moderation is the silken string running through
the chain of all the virtues. t
He is well constituted who grieves not for what
be has not, and rejoices for what he has.
Let us go always beyond the duties marked out,
and keep them within the pleasures permitted.
Advice is like snow; the softer It falls, the
longer dwells upon and the deeper it sinks Into
the mind.-GColeridge.
True goodness Is like glow-worm; u shines
most when no eyes, except those of Heaven, ara
De deaf to the qusrrelsome, blind to the scorner
and dumb to those who are mischieVously inquisi-
tive.
Never indulge In what appears to be little sin;
il will harden the heart and lead to greater.
Wait for others to advance your interests, and
you win wait till they are not worth advancing.
To thirgs which you bear with Impotence you
should accustom yourself and you will bear them
A mans character is frequently treated like a
grste-blackened all over first, to come out the
brighter afterward.
Vice stipgs Us even In our pleasures, but virtue
consoles us even In our palms, Cotton.
We spend half our lives in making mistakes, and
waste tue poor re1ainder in rejecting how easily
we might have avoided them.
noble anger at wrong makes all our softer
feelings warmer, as a warm climate adds strength
TO pOisOns and spices.
Bible promises are like the beams Of the sun,
which shine as freely in at the windows OF poor
| mans cottage a. the rich mans palace.
Read not books alone, bat men, and among
| them chiefly thyself; II thou iud anything ques-
| tionabIe there, use the commentary Of severe
| friend.-I Enchiridion.
Sickness should teach Us what a vain thing the
| world is what vile thing sin is. what poor
thing man rs, and what precious thing an interest
| In Christ is.
II ia not until the flower has fallen of that the
| fruit begins to ripen. SO 10 life IL is when the

trembled like thing about 10 die;
IL was SO awful meath the majesty
OF that great crystal height, that overhung
The blackness at our feet.
Unseen TO feet and feet
The hoekng stars among,
And only hear the dipping OF the oar,
And the small waves caressing of the darksoms
shore.
Less real il was than any dream.
All me to hear the bending willow SILVER,
AS we shot quickly from the silent river,
And felt the swaying and the flow
That bore Us down the deeper, wider stream,
Whereto its nsmeless waters go:
Oh! l shall always, when shut mine eyes.
See that weird sight again:
The lights from anchored vessels hung;
The phantom moon, that sprung
Suddenly up in dim and angry wise,
From the rim o. the moaning main,
Aud touched with elfu light
The two long oars whereby we made our fight
Along the reaches Of the night;
Then borrowed up a lowering cloud,
Went in, and left Us darker than before,
To feel our way as the midnight watches wore,
And lie IN her lee, Win lnOurniul faces DOWedf
That should receive and bear with her away
The brightest portion of my sunnest day
The laughter Of the land the sweet Of tue Shore
And beheld thee: saw the lantern fash
Down on thy face, when thou didst climb the side.
And thou vert pale, pale as the patient bride
That followed both little sad
Leaving Of home and kin. Thy courage glad
That once did bear thee on,
That brow of thine had lost the feryor rash
OF unforeboding youth thou hadst foregone.
o, what little moment, what q crumb
OF comfort for heart to feed upon!
And that was all its sum;
A glimpse and not q meeting
A drawing near By night,
To sigh to thee an unscknowledged greeting,
And all between the flashing of a light
And its retreating.
| Then after, ere she spread her waiting wings
| The ship-and weighed her anchor 20 depart,
| We stole from her dark lee like guilty things;
And there was silence in my heart,
| And silence in the upper and the neither deep.
| o sleep! o sleep!
| Do not forget me. Sometimes come and sweep,
Now have nothing left, thy healing hand
| Over the lids that crave thy visit bland,
Thou kind, thou comforting one;
| For have seen his face, as desired,
| And all my story's done.

Green springs the grass, and the bee Is humming
Clouds drift 10 the blue sky, going and coming;
The brook sings a song
As il spaTkles along,
And the violet looks with her clear blue eyes,
All the day long where her shadow lies
In the wimpled tide.
Where the fishes glide,
Or beneath the roots OF the sycamore hide.
oft blow the winds, sweet odors bestowing
rom bursting buds and fresh things growing
Low zephyrs are signing,
The swift swallow flying
Through a simmer Of rain on the ripping river
Where the golden shafts Of the suns light culver
Glisten and play.
With the willows spray,
And kiss into life the blossoms Of May.
