A Truthful and Striking Parallel.

Hon. Bon. Hill in recent speech
at Atlanta, Ga, drew the following
impressive parallel between Soces.
sion aud Radicalism. A mau of his
genius will be power in Congress.
Secession was n mistake
terrible mistake but seoession
was no crime. Great ap-
plause.] 1t violated no oaths it
trampled upon no individual rights ;
it dispersed no legislatures ; it throt.
tied no sta.e ); it sought to shed no
blood it burned no cities; it invad.
ed no homes Radicslism is no mis-.
take. It is deliberste, intentional,
wicked, over increasing crime [ap-
'plausc it has trampled upon ten
'Shousand oaths to support the
constitution. 1t defied tho Union as
a faut that it might destroy the
Union as a principle under the
prctense Of reconstructing tho States
it has destroyed the States. It has
sworn to support the constitution
only to scizo upon power to enable it
to subvert the constitution ; under
protenso of restoring peace it has
'blightod the country with war, power.
ty and sorrow =; it has burned cities it
has dispersed legislatures, it has rob
bod the poor, plundored the helpless
punished the innocent, and it has
chained liberty to the car of tyranny.
/ arraign radicalism tonight before
the bar of the outraged country as
the only real, intentional rebel in
American history. [Applause.l It
is a rebel against the constitution OF
our fathers !; it is rebcl against the
sovereignty of tho States it is q
rebel against the domestic tranquility
which tho constitution was inten cd
to insure it is rebel against esory
princ,ple of justice and q rebel
against every blessing Of liberty
Tremendous applause.]

Met Ills Fate.

A New 0;leans Judge, riding in
the cars recently, from q single
glance ut the countenanoe of a lady
by his side, imagined he knew her,
aud ventured to remark that the day
was pleasant She only answered
eyes"
"Why do you wear veil p
"Lest | attract attention.
"It is the providence Of gcntle.
men to admire" replied the gallant
man oflaw.
"Not whom they are married"
"But | am not"
"Indeed ~
"Oh, no, I'm a bachelor"
Tho lady quietly removed her
veil disolosing to tho astonished
magistrate the face Of his mother-in-
law.

The report that Gen. Spinner,
tho retired Treasurer had determined
to devote tho remainder of his life to
learning how to write his name logi'
bly,, must have been o oanard. Ho
says in letter to Seth Green, that
he is going to Florida next winter to
fish. The spectacle of a good old
man like our ex.Tveasuror passing his
declining years on a shady bank,
every now and then yanking out a
specimen of the flnny tribe, and not
caring q cent how much the hook
iucs.ates their gills, is good enough
for a pioture.sook.

MEMORIES.

In dreamy haze l stroll tonight,
While the twilight shadows foli,
Among tho beautiful pictures
Tlat hang on memory's wall
a rambling house, n grassy lawn,
With SIN do trees studded Ger
Tho song Of birds and scent of flowers,
The breczes heaveuward bore.
y lovely pond, with sparkling wavc,
BY acdars hulf concealed,
a Ripping stream, wheso pebbly bed
The spccklcd trout revealed;
A cool dark wood with shady aislcs,
Where nimblc squirrels played,
O'er messy sward, with footsteps light,
Happy, careless children straycd.
called it home, That lovely spot,
But il slowly fading now,
And in its place comes ~ stately form
With high and noble brow;
With locks as dark rs ravens wing,
And eyes Of midnight hue,
Beside maid wit h nut brown curls
And orbs Of heavens own blue.
heard tho low sweet words he spoke
In the willing ear she gave,
AS they wandered meath tho green cd
shade,
BY the cool. dark rivers wave:
And saw them part with plightcd faith,
In truth, and hope, nj love;
And, kneclng there, the twain invok cd
a blessing f. ON above.
The greenwood lies in silence now,
And the river still flows on,
But the youth ami maid from its silent
shade,
Forever in life have gone
While DER my soul, with startling force,
Unbiddcn fnnoies, crowd,
Ufn stern dark man, with icy heart,
And II stately woman proud.
Do they over think of the "might have
bcen,"
AS they 80 their separate way.
OF the broken troth and shattered hopes,
whose runs round them lay
Would they 60 back to the greenwood
shade,
And life career lead DER ?
Oh. no 'twcre better as il is,
Better they meet no more.
But must leave the easement now,
For the night airs growing chill.
And with it leave the memories,
That come or go at will;
+ Ill we'll know that some are sad,
Yet sacred to me all,
The beautiful, beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall.
