THE BANDS OF RION.-" Canst
thou loose the bands of Orion ?"--Job.
The three bright stars which consti-
tute the girdle or band of Orion nev-
er change their form; they preserve
the same relative position to each 9th
er, and to the rest Of the constella-
ton, from year to year, and from age
to age. They present precisely the
same appearance to US which they did
to Job. No sooner does the constel.
lation rise above the horizon, however
long may have been the interval since
we last beheld it, than these three
stars appear in the old familiar posi-
ton. They afford US one of the high
est types of immutability in the midst
of ceaseless changes. When heart
sick and weary of the continual alter.
ations we observe in this world, on
whose most enduring objects and af
fections is written the melancholy
doom, " Passing away" it is comfort
ing to look up to that bright beacon in
the heavens. that remains unmoved
amid all the surges Of times great
ocean. And yet in the profound rest
of these stars there is a ceaseless mo-
ton; in their apparent stability and
everlasting endurance, there is a con-
stant change. La vast courses, with
uncomfortable velocity, they are whirl-
ing around invisible centers, and even
passing into new collocations. They
appear to US motionless and change
ess, because of our great distance
from them, just as the foaming torrent
that rushes down the hillside with the
speed of an arrow, and in the widest
and most vagrant courses, filling the
air with its ceaseless shouts, appears
from an opposite hill, frozen by the
distance into silence and rest, mere
motionless, changeless glacier on the
mountain side.

PRoCRAsTINATIoN.-Virtue is not
mushroom that springeth up of itself
in one night, when we are asleep or
regard it not; but delicate plant
that groweth slowly and tenderly,.
needing much pains to cultivate 1t,
much care to guard it, much time to
mature it. Neither is vice a spirit
that will be conjured away with a
charm, slain by a single blow, or dis
patched by one stab. Who. then, will
be so foolish as to leave the eradica-
ting of vice, and the planting in of
virtue into its place for few years Or
weeks? Yet he who procrastlnates
his repentance and amendment gross
ly does so; with his eyes open, he alb
ridges the time allotted for the long
est and most important work he has
to perform; he is fool.-Dr. Bar
T0aU.

A Second Review of the Grand Army
BY FIR. BRET HARTE.

| read last night of the Grand Review
In Washington's chiefest avenue
Two hundred thousand men in blue
think they said was the number
Till | seemed to hear their trampling feet,
The bugle's blast and the drum quick beat,
The clatter of hoofs in the stony street,
The cheers of people who came to greet,
And the thousand details that to repeat
Would only my verse cucumber
Till fell in a reverie sad and sweet,
And then to a fitful slumber.
When, 10 ! in vision 1 seemed to stand
In the lonely Capitol. On each hand
] Far stretched the portion dim and grand,
| Its columns ranged like martial band
Of sheeted spectres, whom some command
Had called to last reviewing;
And the streets of the city were white and
bare,
No football echoed across the square,
But out of the misty midnight air
| heard in the distance trumpet blare,
And the wandering night winds seemed to
bear
The sound of far tattooing.
Then held my breath with fear and dread,
For into the square with brazen tread,
There rose a figure whose stately head
O'erlooked the review that morning;
That never bowed from its irm-set seat
When the living column passed its feet,
Yet now rode steadily up the street
To the phantom bugle's warning;
Till it reached the Capitol square and
wheeled,
And there in the moonlight stood revealed
A well known form that in State and field
Had led our patriot sires;
Whose face was turned to thesleeping camp
Afar through the rivers fog and damp,
That showed no flicker, no waning lamp
Nor wasted bivouac fires.
And | saw phantom army come,
| With never sound of fife or drum,
Rut keeping time to a thrObbing hum
OF wailing and lamentation
| The martyred heroes of Malvern Hill,
Of Gettysburg and Chaneellorsville,
The men whose wasted figures fill
The patriot graves of the nation.
And there came the nameless dead-the men
Who perished in fever, swamp and fen,
The slowly-starved of the prison-pen;
And, marching beside the others,
Came the dusky martyrs of Pillows fight,
With limbs enfranchised and bearing
bright;
[ thought-perhaps twas the pale moon
light
They looked as pale as their brothers,
And so all night marched the nations dead
W ltH nU,oI II UanlloI aUUve tnvnl st4 o..>,,
Nor badge, nor motto brandished;
No mark-save the bare uncovered head
OF the silent bronze Reviewer;
With never an arch save the vaulted sky,
With never flower save those that lie
On the distant graves-for love could buy
No gift that was purer or truer.
So all night long swept the strange array,
So all night long till the morning gray
1 watched for one who had passed away,
With a reverent awe and wonder
Till blue cap waved in the length ming
line,
And | knew that one who was kin of mine
Had come, and l spake-and 10 that sign
Awakened me from my slumber.

One of those fearful tragedies so
common nowadays occurred at Rich
land Center, Wis, few days ago.
A young fellow named John Newell,
16 years old, shot Mrs. Wallace as
she was counting some money, inflict-
ing severe wound, and when the
woman started to run to a neighbor's
for protection he followed her with
an ak and actually chopped her to
pieces. He then seized the money,
only $S and fled. The murder was
not discovered till the next morning,
when the murderer, who had incau-
tiously stopped at neighbor's all
bloody as he was, and inquired the
way to certain point, was captured
and lodged in Jail. The people were
so exasperated by the horrible deed,
that they took him out of Jail and hung
him. Exasperated men led the mob,
and frantic women pelted him with
stones, so that he was almost dead
before he reached the tree where he
was hung.
