again to the paper which had once been the
daily sensation of the South. But he has an
eye keen enough to see the coils Of fate closing
around his beloved South. That broke his
heart.
When the army of the Union was drawing
near to Richmond he wrote, remember, an
editorial iu which occurred the words, III the
Federal armies ever enter Richmond, those
who shall be unfortunate enough to live to see
that day.. &c. The day came when the Amerl-
can army did enter Richmond, andat the dawn
of that day were closed in death the eyes OF
the most gifted man the South has produced
in recent times When in the brilliant salon |
saw the woman he loved SO long aud devotedly,
and for whom he bravcd the world, | saw his
gloomy brow and his magnificent black eyes
spectrally beside her. But should say, II ne
we're sitting beside her. it must have been IN
a very shadowy way indeed, not sufficiently
pronounced to Interfere with the newest tlrta-

But should remark that the Countess OF

to carry Bible 10 the breast pocket, as in
deed it is. But man in Florida, who was
not base slave enough to pay his bills, al
lowed them to accumulate in his pocket until

this bundle Of unpaid bills intercepted the

A Reverend In New York last Suns
day preached upon the proper way to pas>
Saturday night in order to be fitted for the
duties of Sunday. He spoke of the evil re,
sultiug to the laboring classes from late
hours ou Saturday night spent in shopping
and buying supplies. He recommended
that the afternoon and evening of Saturday
be spent at Central Park, or lother natural
place Of amusement, as a good preparation
for Sunday, aud be recited Burns "Cotter's
Saturday Night" as q lesson for christian
family.
What nonsense 10 q clergyman to talk
about people spending Sunday recreation
when it requires six days labor to provide
the necessaries Of life, and only Saturday
night is left in which to lay in stores for
Sunday and the coming week. 1t is very
we'll for schooIboys to ''speak" poetic pieces
on defamation day and at school exhibi-
tions, but that New York clergyman had
better study the prose oflite, and he may
find that the last word of one lire does not
always rhyme with the one preceding it,
How easy it is to talk-yea to preach, when
such stuff is called preaching.
