Jeff Davis and the Liberty Bell.

Nothing could have been more absurd
OF incongrueus than the selection of JEFF
Davis. the chief embodiment of treason
and rebellion, to act as spokesman on the
arrival of the Liberty Bell at its desuna-
tion in New Orleans. II is said the ar
rangement was a happy afterthought,
and that i! was inspired by certain
Northern gentlemen. The intention
was for the committee to meet the party
having the bell in charge at Bay St.
Louis, but on the way it was suggested
by "one of the Western Commissioners"
that they should go a little further, to
the home of JEFF Davis, and invite him
to accompany them. He was over
Whelmed with the honor conferred upon
him that he was constrained to yield,
and rose from sick bed to respond to
the unexpected call.
1t is said that the episode had soft
ening effect upon the tough old traitor;
that he had tears in his eyes when he
gazed upon the sacred emblem of free
dom, and that he actually yielded his
stern convictions so far as to express the
thought, that, after all, the men who
fought against constitutional Liberty"
were not so much to blame inasmuch as
they fought in support of their honest
convictions" If this fortuitous Incl
dent shall have the effect of raising in
the heart of the arch-rebel the least
compuHction for the harsh judgment he
passed upon the loyal men of the North
for putting down the rebellion by force
of arms, then the removal of the Liber-
ty Bell to the metropolis of the South
will not be utterly barren of results.
1t is somewhat remarkable, however, :,
that in the same issue of the paper which
contains the bell episode there should
appear letter from jeff Davis to the
Society of the Army and Navy of the
Confederate States, acknowledging the
honor of membership conferred upon
him, heartily commencing the Maryland
traitors of 1851 as true to their revolu-
tionary lineage, and promising to trans
NIT the certificate of membership with
which they honored him as on heirloom
to his children and children's children.
1t is as though the hoary headed old
sinner had exclaimed: Not that love
the Liberty BELLIES, but the Lost Cause
more"
Now that jeff Davis, the incarnation
of treasOn-the maR who for four years
strained every nerve to destroy the Ma
ti0n which was established by the valor
of our Revolutionary forefathers and eeS
mentcd by their blood-the man who
caused the sacrifice of millions of money
and hundreds of thousands of lives to
found an oligarchy whose corner stone
was human slavery-has been chosen
to apotheosize the bell that in lie trying
times of '76 proclaimed Liberty thro'-
out all the land and to all the inhabi-
tants thereof but one thing is lacking
to cap the climax of absurdity. Let
Lieutenant Gorringe, or some other
competent engineer, transfer Bunker
Hill Monument to New Orleans, and let
Bob Teomos be there, not 10 "call the
roll of his slaves under its shadow" but
to weep tears of gratitude for undeserv-
ed honors heaped upon him. This is
the modern way of making treason odi+

THEY ARE ALL GONE.

They are all gone, the children dear,
Who used to gather round our hearth;
The past has echoes, but hear
No more the unchecked flow of tears.
Our yard is full with scent of rose,
That blushing woos the sunbeam's
kiss;
And In the vale the violet
Bends meath the south winds soft ca
resS.
But where's the little hand to pluck
The beds expanding in the light?
And where the cheeks that used to flush
In scstsey of pure delight
/ saw ne forms within the dell,
heard no voices III the air,
Although all day long sat beside
My window IN my rocking chair.
So. when the evening curtains fell,
I rose and closed the shutters all;
The shadows with their duSky wings,
Enwrapped and chilled me like pail.
Now here beside my crate l sit,
And watch the burning embers glow,
And look in vain along the wall
For shadows, fitting to and fro.
The rays are bright, and in their CLEAN,
try nv heart to cheat and cheer,
With memories sweet, until feel
AS If my lost ones must be here.
Sweet, long lost facesl only seen
Through mists of tears, seem dearer
far,
Nor present pain, nor loneliness,
The beauty of the past can mar.
Though now 1 sit like one bereaved,
Whose tears make damp the funeral
pail;
And all my days wear yellow leaf.
4. And snow-fakes Ger my temples 1all.
The hands we used to clasp have dropped
Our own to guide still weaker hands;
The feet we led so carefully
Have wandered into foreign lands.
All mel perchance tits just as well
Our paths in later life diverge,
Since ours are nearing fast the sands,
Where the dividing waters surge.
And husband, as the years roll on,
Each dearer to the other grown,
While both are spared, not utterly
Can we be desolate and lone.
Then let US rise in early dawn,
Tne roses pluck for thee and me,
And with loving trusting heart
Wait happy eternity.
Mrs. NJ. j. Smith.

Intemperance cuts down youth in its
in its weakness. 1t breaks the fathers
heart. bereaves the doting mother, exr
tinguishes natural affections, erases con-
jugal love, blows oat filial attachments,
blasts parental hopes, and brings down
mourning age in sorrow to the grave. 1t
produces weakness, not strength; death,
not life. 1t makes wives widows: chill
dren orphans; parents childless, and all
of them paupers and beggars. 1t feeds
rheumatism, invites gout, imparts pesti-
lence and embraces consumption. 1t
covers the land with idleness, misery and
crime. It fills your gaols, supplies your
aims houses, and demands your asylums.
1t eDgenders controversies, fosters quar-
rels and cherishes riots. 1t crowds your
penitentiaries and furnishes victims to
your scaffolds. 1t is the life blood of the
gambler, the element of the burglar, the
prop of the highwayman, and the sup

countenances the liar, respects the thief,
esteems the blasphemer. 1t violates OBJ
legations, reverenees fraud, and honors
infsmy. 1t detames benevolehce, hates
love, scorns virtue, and ISLANDERS limo
cence. 1t invites the father to butcher
his helpless offspring, helps the husband
massacre his wife, and the child to grind
the parricidal ak. 1t suborns witnesses,
nurses perjury, denies the jury box, and
stains the judicial ermine. 1t degrades
the citizen, debases the legislator, dis
honors the statesman and disarms the
patriot. 1t brings shame, not honor;
terror, not safety; despair, not hope;
misery, not happiness; and with the
manevolence of fend it calmly surveys
its frightful desolation, and, unsatis6ed
with its havoc, it poisons felicity, kills
peace, ruins mortals, blights confidence,
Stays reputation, and wipes out national
honor, then curses the world and laughs
at its ruin.

SCIENCE destroys some of the most
cherished popular delusions. Catgut is
derived from sheep: German silver was
not invented in Germany, and it con-
tains no silver; Cleopatra's needle was
not erected by her, nor in her honor;
Pompey's pillar had no historical con-
nection with that parsonage; sealing wax
does not contain particle of wax; the
tuberose is not rose, but polypanth
the straberry is not berry; Turkish
baths did not originate in Turkey, and
are not baths at all; whalebone is not
bone, and contains not any of its prep
critics.
