Pass william Tweed.
(From the Nsw York Graphic.

(ffom the New York Graphic.)
The hand of heaven oft decides
Where man had reasoned best,
And gives the crown to regicides-
To royal claimants rest:
Low lies the Master in the Law.
The while his culprt flies,
One on the ocean stormy awe,
Death on the others eyes.
Contending knights and factions fight
Advantage to obtain;
Down on the field a sudden night
Falls like battle rain,
And in the dark meaning shines
So silent all may see;
However ye ordain the times,
There is destiny"
The pirates bark outrides the storm
That sinks the royal ship,
While slyer thieves in pillory
Quail to the Sheriff's whip;
The guilty times forbade but one
To take the pain of all,
And only once the Virgins Son
Died for the common fall.
Far fade the times OF warand greed,
Their memories do but smoke:
And bon voyage to every Tweed
Who slips his lawyers yoke:
If only bloodhounds OF the code
Receive the robbers prey,
Speed well the wolf upon his read
The harpy's had his day.
Poor country! in debauch exposed,
That sailed the deluge through,
Like Noah on the mountain isle
Made drunken to his crew,
Yet in the hunger of the age
For worse and worse to read,
There's even more RELIEF than rage
In the escape of Tweed.

Gauss OF ran WAR IN HERzRao-
vINA.-The London Spectator, speak.
ing ofthe causes which led to tho re-
cent revolt in Herzegovina against
Turkish rule, says:
"From village to village, and from
farm TO farm, the Agas extend their
sinister Tnareh, assessing tho imposts
by a calculation Of the tax payers
resources under pressure, and on
forcing their payment on tho spot.
When the cuftivator is unable or un-
willing to meet the exigoncies of tho
Agas he is snmmarily bound to post
and beaten until ho finds somo means
OF appoasing the justice or cupidity of
the Agas. If he continues to provo
recalcitrant his harvest is cut down
and carted away, or his cattlo driven
off by the zaptiehs. This timo tho
tax collection was both moro difficult
and moro burdensomc than on recent
occasions, in consequence OF tho Agas
endeavoring to mako tho remaining
inhabitants pay up tho contributions
alleged to bo due by tho 1000 Chris
tian families, who over since tho san
culinary outbreak of Moslom fanati>
cism last year have bcen refugees in
Montenegro, Servin and tho Aastro,
Hungarian borderlaHds. The Herzo,
govinH peasAntry had boon sorely
tried enough by the losses caused by
bad harvest and cattle plague during
the past season TO make it o matter of
extra hardship for them to satisfy tho
ordinary exactions of tho Agas.
When, however, they found that thoir
local tyrants expected them to mako
good the deficiencies in tho yield of
the imposts produced by the fight of
tho P9rSeos::eea R&yahs, they wore
forced into desperate situation,
which easily suggested desperate
remedy, and the vindictiveness Of
the Agas quickly added fuel to tho
fire that had already 30 many COM
bustiblo olements on which to feed.

HAVE GooD TEMPER.-"The horse

an old saying Of horsomen, and ii 10
just as truo Of mon as horses. Tho
man that allows himself to get irri-

affairs of life, is d man that, as q rulc,

particular aversion. He is man

ITO "keep jolly under all provo.

valuable qualification. Indeed, this
Article was suggested by q notable

of subordinates, by foreman in an
establishment recently visited by US.
1t was evident that this estab blishment
WAS pervaded by o spirit of revolt,
begotten by the brow-beating, inso-

rendered unmanageablo and restless
by the total disregard of amenity In
