"FOrget Him.

A Republican paper published in this
city said that the best thing for General Lee
would be for the people to forget him. 1t
would take all tic dullness of the Republi

duce sleep profound enough to this people

field of Spotsyvania grow laurel to Grant :?
Will Gold Harder be aught else than the
point where the boasted line was shattered
and the COMMANDER of nation, not of an
army, forced by this Lee to follow ia the
place of the hated and abused Mcclellan. :.
Lee fought all these battles against large
odds. and whipped these people who, of
course, would now like to have him oblitera-
ted and their disgrace 60 with him in his
grave.
But the worst thing for this country to do
would be to forget Lee; and that she had
son so great and good. He will pass over
the spasm of their mockeries, and their at
tempts at iorgetfulness, and all the wrongs

AN EXTINCT FAMLY.-It is a curious
fact that there are no known descendants of
Christopher Columbus. ID He had two sons
one of whom, Don Diego, rose to the dis.
tinction of an Admiral, aud the other, Fern
ando, as scholar. Fernando was great
traveller. He not only thrice visited Amer.
lea, but subsequently, traversed the whole of
Europe and every accessible portion of Asia
and Africa. He appears to have been a
profound scholar and thoroughly good
man. In his will he stipulated that his
library, containing twenty thousand volumes,
which he gave to the Cathedral of Seville,
should be fressto the people, and it is to
this day. From books in this collection
the late Washington Irving obtained a con-
siderable portion Of the information on which
his "Life of Columbus" was founded. The
following quaint epitaph, almost obliterated
by time, appears on the tablet which marks
the site of his tomb "What doth it profit
to have sprinkled the whole world with nv
sweat; to have three times crossed the
New World discovered by my father to
have embeliished the shores of Tranquil
Granddaughter, and preferred by simple tastvs
rather than riches. or that have assembled
around the divinities from the source OF
Castalia, and offer to thee the riches gather.
ed, BY Ptolemy, if passing in silence over
this stone thou shouldst fail 10 address a
single salutation to my fathers memory"

Receipt for Happiness.

1t is simply when you rise in the morn.
ing to form the resolution to make the day
a happy one to fellow creature. 1t is cas-
lily done; lsft-off garment to the man that
needs it; kind word to the sorrowful; an
encouraging expression to the striving
trifes ia themselves as light as air-will do
it, at least for twenty four hours and if you
are young, depend upon it that it will tell
when you are old; and if you are old, rest
assured it will send you gently and happily
down the stream of time to srnity. Look
at the result. You send one person-only
one happily through the day that is three
hundred and ixty-fvc ia the course of a
year; and suppose you live forty years only
after you commence this course, you have
made fourteen Thousand six hundred human
beings happy, at least fr a time Now,
worthy reader, is not this simple? We do
not often indulge in moral dose but this
is SO small a pill, that no one needs currant
jelley to disguise its flavor, and requires
to be taken but once day, that we feel
warranted in prescribing it, 1t is most ex-
cellent for digestion, and promoter Of

SECRET OF BEING ALWAYS EAsY.-An
Italian Bishop having struggled through
great difficulties without complaining, and
met with much opposition in tie discharge
of his duties without having betrayed the
least impatlouoc, an intimate friend. who
highly admired his virtue, one day asked
the prelate if he could tell him the secret Of
being always easy
eyes replied he, Il can teach you my
secret, and will do SO very readily. 1t con-
sists in nothing more than making great use
of my eyes De- .aH Fi.'1+il 80 -o
His friend begged him to explain. =
"Most willingly said the Bishop. ''In
whatever state | am. | first of all look up to
Heaven, and rem mber that my principal
business here is to get there ] then look
down upon the earth. and call to mind the
space shall shortly occupy in it, ! then
look abroad into the world, and observe
what multitudes there are who in all resuects
have more cause to be unhappy than my
self. Thus | learn where true happiness i,
placed, where all cares must end, and
how very little reas> n l have to repine or
complain" .....

Poetry.
The Household Angel.

Her name shines not in honored fields
Where right and wrong so boldly war;
Nor rings her voice in any cause
6 Which men and women battle for;
2 u5- Yet in her presence, subtle, sweet,
.l You long to kneel and kiss her feet.
No wondrous romance wreathes her life;
Nor hath she led martyr train!
q Nor beautiful, nor rich is she,
But poor and--som would call her plain;
Yet in her two dear eyes you see
A beauty shining constantly.
No silken robe enfolds her form;
ia Nor dainty leisure has her hands;
Her Jewels are simple ring; 3
A ribbon binds her hairs smooth bands,
Yet in her garments simple grace
Her souls regality your trace.
No gift she has to shake and thrill
A thankless world with warbled songs,
And art that wakes the ivory keys
To other hands than hers belong,
4 Yet in her W. rds of tender cheer
mad A richer music charms the ear.
She walks in humble ways of life
That lead eftimes thro' gloom and shade;
And cares and crosses, not a few,
Are on her patient shoulders laid;
Yet smiles and drinks each bitter cup
And keeps her brave eyes lifted up.
And homely ways she wreathes with grace,
Harsh duty turns to loving zest;
And CHEEKY hope and steadfast will
And at her side, in work and rest;
Yet never dreams she you can spy
The angel looking from her eye.
