The Dream Of Philosophy,
rom Admiral Porter's History.

From Admiral Porter's History.
Perhaps the best thing that ever
happened to this great country was
the firing on Fort Sumter with. the
guns Of Moultrie and other forts.
Who can say that we are not agreat-
ernation to- lay, with freedom through
out the land, than we were in the
days of the errors and follies Of the
South, and the anger and preiudices
Of the North, which embittered one
against the other and made the great
Council Hall of the nation place of
violence and discord? All that has
been swept away with the fall of
slavery, and instead of it has come
q union Of all the States, more earn
est and sraternal than before, with
the Southern section ofthe country
growing more prosperous and more
happy under free labor and equal
rights for all those who live in the
South. In another generation people
will likely bless the day when James
Island and Moultrie opened the guns
On Sumpter, and caused to be wiped
out that dark blot on our escutcheon,
which tho whole world was pointing
1T, and asking us how we could call
ourselves a free country while four
millions of people were held in bond
age. Who knows what we might have
been but for that long war, which
brought so much sorrow and desola-
tion to 50 many homes? Slavery,
with it's seductive influences, might
have led us away, and in the course
Of a century our country might have
become g. land of Slaves"

The Will on the HearthstOne.

When I was d boy I heard of q
lawyer who was called up in the mid
die OF cold Winters night to draw
out the will of an old farmer who
lived some three miles away and was
dying. The messenger had brought
cart to convey the lawyer to the
farm, and the latter in due time ar
lived at his destination. When he
inferred the house he was Immediately
1shered into the sick room, and he

pen, ink, and paper. There were none

ed. No; they had none. The farmer
was sinking fast, though quite con-

bedroom door column upon column

The Celestial Visitor That is At

From the New York Tribune.
The visitor which was discovered by
Partisan astronomer last December
seems destined to cut quite figure in
terrestrial circles. Professor Boss, of

''promises to be g. grand spectacle. I"
By the middle OF April it will be visi-
BILE to the naked eye. We take it that
Professor Boss regards this particular
celestial as inclined to be sociable
with our own planet, for he remarks
that when nearest the earth ''the
comet will be only 100000 miles

Then came the memorable order from

The morning mist outspread,
While ritle-pit and breastwork strong

The sluggish stream that only served
To Stake the thirst Of kline,
Wns sooa to see a drearier sight
With men drawn up in line.
Along the crest a flash OF fire
Breaks red against the sky,
Along the hillside.s narrow slope
Comes back the quick reply.
Ferraro dasaes up in haste
His counteaance atiaIue;
''The Fifty-iirst must storm the BRIDGE
Twas thus the order came.
''F.s bayonets!'' Over Hartranft's face
a strange smile sent its beam;
The red blood flushed his dusky cheek
His dark eyes all agleam,
Sturgis.and Cook in'yain essaycd,
Aud others yet may try;
But now the gallant Fifty-first
Must etor.n the bridge or die.
Bright flashed the sword their leaas,
drew
"Charge r'-like a simoon's blast
The Fifty first mid shot and shell
Dashed on-the bridge Is passed;
The beaten foe In wild retreat
Is flying DER the bridge.
Huzza huzza! The Fifty-1rst
Have stormed Antietam's bridge!
o men OF Pennsylvania,
Along your bloody route
Lies many courade dull Of ear
Who may not hear you shout;
But DER your country's wide domain
A pecan grand shall burst;
A nations uccoladc be thine

PEGGlNe AWAY.

Oh, well l remember the clustering faces,
That In wonderment peered through the
shoemaker's door,
When to sound of his whistle and tap OF his
hammer,
lie often RECALLED MS with bits OF his lore.
AS often he'd say, with nod that was know
ing,
And a smile that was bright as the sweet
summer day:
81 tell YOU what, lads, there's nothing
worth having,
But what you must get 1t by pegging away,
:" You may run the swift race, and be count.
ed the victor,
time;
And up the steep ladder where fame keeps
her laurels,
If you want to get one, you must certainly
climb.
The world it is only broad piece of leather f;
We must shape 1t ourselves to our last as
we may,
And we only can do 1t, my lads, ms tell YOU,
By pressing and molding and pegging
away"
Oh, the years have been long, and the shoe
makers vanished;
Adown the dark road we must journey
alone,
But often think of the wisdom hid under
His whimsical Jest and his fatherly tone.
And often I've proved the truth of his say
ing,
AS misfortune and I together still stray,
That ell the best gifts the world has to offer,
1t only gives those who keep pegging
away.
