TRANQUILITY,

An old man says: "One day
brings another day, one year follows
another; let us take time as i,
comes. The sources of all pleasure
are 10 our heart; he who seeks then
elsewhere outrages the divinity. My
projects, my desires and my hopes
never go beyond my own bosom.
Rivers roll rapidly to the sea and
enter without troubling it; my heart
is The same; all the events of the
great world would not cost me a
single care. Truth is my com
pass and moderation my helm. The
clouds arise and the clouds descend
10 rain without causing me any in
quietude. When they conceal the
sun from me by day, | try to look at
the stars by night. My clothes are
made of common cloth, my food is
coarse, and the thatch that GOV
ers my roof decays every year. But
what would it have been to me to
have been dressed in silk to-day,
and to have digested costly dishes.
Golden roofs do not keep out sleep
lessness and care and were the
country shaken by an earthquake
how easily | can gain my humble
door. My patrimouy is the end of
my two arms, and every day gives
me harvest. When it is very hot |
cool myself in the shade of tree,
and when it is very cold warm my
self by working. Old age is coming
upon me, but my children are young
and will repay me for what | have
done for them. If they always OBJ
serve truth and moderation a hun.
dred years will not cost them much.
Whatever tempests may arise, tran
guilty is port always open to the
innocent heart Hail, tranquility OF
the soul! Sweet charm OF life
Kings would sell their crowns to
hay thee il they knew thy Value
Complete thy beneits-thou hast
helped me to live we'll, help me to
die well.

MICRO IN KANSAS.

Further reports from the negro
em:grants in Kansas add to rather
than mitigate the late suffering
which has been circulated through
out the country for a week past.
No, only are they suffering from
want of necessary food, but the
change of climate and the exposure
they have undergone have been at
tended with the worst consequences
t is stated that ten per cent have
died since they left their homes, and
as no adequate provision has yet
been made for their sustenance R0d
shelter, either present or future, it is
to be- feared that this represents only
a small proportion of those who will
succumb to their suffelings To add
to the horrors of the situation, a re,
port has been spread among the
Kansians to the effect that the bed
ding to the negroes is from the yell
low fever hospital Of Vicksburg -
This report bears improbability on
its face, but it must have further
unhappy effect upon the emigrants,
inasmuch as it will be accepted as
true by many thousands of the PEG,
pie among whom they have cast
their fortunes, who will not only re-
fuse to give them employment, but
will interdict oil intercourse with
them.

WHY A LETTER DON'T GO

The Cincinnati Saturday Night
publishes the following reason why
letter don't go:
Because ou forgot to address it.
Because you forgot to stamp it.
Because you forgot to write the
town Or State on the envelope.
Because you didn't write tho
street and number plainly.
Because you didn't put three
cents on the letter for every half
ounce or fractional part thereof.
Because YOU cut out an envelope
stamp and pasted it on your letter.
Because you used internal revenue
stamps instead Of postage stamps.
because you used old out of date
stamps.
Because you used foreign stamp.
Because yon wrote the address 80
badly that no one could read it.
Because you wrote the address Gu
the top of the envelope and it was
surely obiteratcd by the post~office
dating, receiving, and cancelIing
stamps.
Aud because you pat your letter
in blank envelope, and sealed it
and forwarded it to-the dead letter
office, where thousands upon thou
sands of valuable letters are daily
destroyed, because the people are
either careless or ignorant Of the
postal laws.

where Sheridan held the fort ut that

Everything about the post was thrown
into great cOmmOtiOn in the hurry and

caused an ,uid-faShiOned iron cannon to
be placed on board little steamer then.

party in company with Gen. Grant. and
III a remarkable short space of time was
steaming up the Columbia. Arriving
at the Cascades, the cannon was put on
shore and taken to position on the river
bank in range of the beleguered block
house, which was surrounded by Yelling
savagcs. In the excitement of the mo-
ment the gun was placed near the bank
and loaded very heavily. The order
was given, fearful boom, which crash
ed and re-echOed throughout the noun
tains, was heard, the cannon kicked over
the bluff and went splashing into the Col
umbia, twenty feet below, The artil-
cry was silenced. and Sheridan stood
