CoRwIN's ADDRESS TO YOUNG MEN.-
What l have to say to you is not long
homily or sermon. 1t is concise, and can
be remembered by all of you. What
am especially anxious about is, that I
may say in SO impressive manner that
you may all remember it as long as you
live, and that may be certain to influence
your entire life. 1t is simply this: Don't
try to be like mel You could, doubtless,
many of you-make better clowns than
have made of myself; but don't try.
shall regret to my dying day that ever
said funny thing. The world will
laugh at me; but the world despises the
clown at last I can do nothing else.
When speech is announced to be made
by Tom Corwin, everybody expects a
clownish performance. I am relegated
to the circus ring for the rest Of my
life. Whether I feel serious, sad or hap.
py, it is all the same--it must be funny
speech, and I know it, and I yield to
this popular prejudice and clamor, and
go on making fool of myself, and shall
continue to do so to the end of my career.
The man who talks as do never gets
credit for any solid attainments; he is
never looked upon as a. statesman; and
if he gets any political preferment, it is
only as sort of a joke, and not because
he is supposed to be statesman. Ifa
man could talk funny when he feels like
it, and talk sense at other times--or if it
were possible to make people understand
that he was only cracking joke to
amuse them-it might do; but this is
not the way the world is constituted. A
man must be funny or wise. This repu.
tation Of mine hangs about my neck like
the body of death. 1t is the Nemesis
which will haunt me to my grave. Shun
it while you may.

A SUCCESSFUL SPY.
lPhilsdelphia Times I


In March, 1865, l was Assistant En-
rolling Officer OF Mobile county, my chief
being Major H G.. Humphries. One
morning the Major handed me bundle
Of papers, and, pointing to stalwart-
looking soldier, dressed in the uniform of
Confederate Sergeant said: Examine
these papers, and give him what he re-
quires." He added, "if had thousand
such men I could whip a brigade of
Yankees" The Major was a very i'm.
pulsive but conscientious man. found
the papers TO be regular; they had been
through the headquarters officer and were
indorsed correct" The enrolling Of
fcer was directed to furnish Sergeant
Burke with horse and subsistence. His
papers represented him to be Sergeant
Burke, of the Army of East Tennessee,
and he was directed to proceed to Mobile
and gather all men from that army alb.
sent without leave and return them to
their commands. A desk and writing
materials were furnished him, as was a
horse. He was soon engaged in writing.
After day or two he would absent him
self, and on several occasions would not
return for many hours, and always on
his return he would write good deal.
When asked what he had done, he al
ways had probable story to tell of being
on the track of number of deserters,
and, strange to say, he did forward sew.
eral patches of men to their commands.
He appeared to be very jealous in the
Confederate cause, and one day remarked
that we ought to fight under the black
flag, and shoot every Federal found with.
in our lines. The Major was much of
his opinion, but l was not, and Burke
thought was very lukewarm in the
cause. In all of his actions he was
Confederate of the most bitter kind, and,
OF course, was not suspected of being
anything else This went ON for several
weeks, Burke going away in the morning
and when he returned, he would 20 to
his desk and write mass of papers, ap.
parently taking his notes from book
which he always carried.
Early in April, Mobile was surrendered,
and Gen. Candy took possession. Burke
left two days previous to the surrender,
and we supposed he had gone to his
command. The day after the surrender
was walking ON Royal street, near
Gen. Canby's headquarters, when I was
hailed by a Federal soldier, who called me
by name. looked at him with surprise,
ana did not recognize him until he said:
Lieutenant, don't know me?" 1 then
saw that it was Sergeant Burke, and re-
marked, "what does this mean-this
uniform?" He replied: "You know
what ] have been at, the past few weeks!'
"Yes," said, ga spy" He smiled,
and said: Lieutenant, if you want pro-
lection or aid you will get it by report.
ing to General Candy. I made list of
deserving citizens for his use, and your
name heads the list. Good bye" have
not seen Burke since, nor have I any
knowledge of what became of him. Burke
was sharp, intelligent American Irish.
man, and now have reason to believe
that he furnished Farragut with great
deal of valuable information.

of What VIII Occur Nov, 1851

The singular christian delusion OF the
destruction Of the world has prevailed
for hundreds of years. The event has
been postponed from time to time.
but papers have been found which dis
close the unpleasant fact that our globe
is sure of destruction in November.
1881. Leonardo Aretino, an Italian
prophet of the fourteenth century, is
authority for this amazing statement.
The dissolution days. According to
Arento, the programme will be ar
ranged as follows:
First day-The sea will overflow.
Second day-The water will pene-
trate into the soil.
Third day-Death of all fresh water
fish.
Fourth day-Death of sea animals.
Fifth day-Death Of the birds.
Sixth day-Fall of all houses and
buildings.
Seventh day-Fall of the rocks.
Eighth day Earthquake.
Ninth day-Fall of the mountains.
Tenth day-Men will become dumb.
Eleventh day-The graves will open.
Twelfth day-Rain of stars.
Thirteenth day-Death of mankind.
Fourteenth day Destruction OF
heaven and earth by fire.
Fifteenth day-The resurrection and
last Judgment.

4 Sharks Dreadful Work.

Anthony Mcdonald, a sailor belong
ing to the English ship Forest Rights
was drowned on Sunday while bathing
near the Central wharf Being a good
swimmer, it is not known whether he
was siezed with cramps or was attacked
by shark. The mate of a vessel lying
near went to mis- rescue as soon as it
was known that he was III peril, but
before reaching the spot the unfOrtu-
nate youth went out OF sight. The
body was dragged for, but was not re-
covered until next morning, when it
was found to be horribly mutilated bv
sharks. Deceased was aged IS. a ma
tive OF Liverpool, and this was his first
voyage. He seemed to have been a
great favorite with his shipmates. who
regret his sad fate. The body was left
moored to a ship lying at the warf,
awaiting the arrival of a coroner, who
decided upon his arrival that an in
quest was unnecessary. We are told
that while quite a party of gentlemen
were viewing the body yesterday morn.
ing an immense shark-estimated to be
more than fifteen feet in length-arose
to the surface and, siezing the body,
instantly carried it under the wharf.
Parties standing near took hold of the
rope, and, after tug with the monster,
they deprived him Of his prey. This
subsequent attack of the man eater is
conclusive proof that the unfortunate
young man met an awful death in the
vOraciOus jaws of shark. His head
and one arm and one leg were gone,
while large cash was visible in his left
side. This incident should forever de,
ter our youth from outside bathing-a
custom which they practice every sum
mer. This is the second death of the
kind that has came to our knowledge
within the year. The other was that O.
the mate of small vessel, who was
knocked overheard between here and
Mobile few months ago, and who was
sliced by one of these large fish and
carried below in the presence of his
shipmates.- PenSdc0}G Gazette.
