OLD BATTLE-FIELDS.

Long years Of peace have stled the batt'e-thunder
Wild grasses culver where the fight was won.
Masses of blossom, lightly blown asunder,
Drop down white petals Oh the silent gun
For life is kind and sweet things grow unbdden,
Turning the scenes of strife TO bloOmy bowers;
One only knows what secrets may be hidden
Beneath his cloud OF flowers.
Poor heart above thy field of sorrow signing
For smItten faith, and hope untimely slain,
To the soft sunlight and the cleansing rain;
Love works in silence, hiding all the traces
OF bitter conflict on the trampled sod
And time shall show thee all lies battle-placeS

Der called one day TO furnish his share
Of the ADVICE. He talked long, learn
edly and, as usual, rather dictatorial-

torial eloquence finally stopped he
said, to the utter amszement Of his
distin2 uished guest: "Stsnd up,
Sumner, and let us measure backs"
Sumner stood up, with all the rsluc-
tancs Of offended dignity, and the two
backs were brought In contact. "Ah"
said Lincoln, when the measuring was
ended, "my back is a good dsal longer
than yours, Sumner; yes, gso1 deal

supposed, was speedily terminated;
and as the door closed upon the tall
