All thoughts, all passions, all delights, Whatever stirs this mortal frame, All are but ministers of Love, And feed hi scared flame. Oft In my waking dreams do I .

She loves me best whene'er I sing The songs that make her grieve. I playel a soft and doleful air, X sang an old and moving story . An xld rude song that fitted well The ruin wild and hoary. She listened with a fitting blush, With downcast eyes and modest grace; - For well she knew I could not choose. But gaze upon her face. I told her of the Knight, that wore' . Upon his shield a burning brand; And that for ten long years he wee4 The Lady of the Land. I told her how he pined-' end, ah! The low, the dep, the pleading tone, With which Isaag aaetker's leva, Interpreted say own. She listened with a fitting blush, With downcast eyes and modest grace; And she forgave n that I gased Too fondly en her faee! But when I told the cruel scorn Which erased this bold and lovely Knight, And that we erosse l the mountain woods, Nor rested day nor night!- That sometimes from the savage den, And somotimes from the darksome shad And sometimes starting up at once, In green and sunny glade. There came and looked him in the faee, An angel beautiful andhrigbt; And that he knew it wee a fiend, This miserable Catgut! And bow, unknowns; what he did, lie leaped aaaid a murderous band, AsH saved from outrage worse than death Tfce Lady of the Land. And how sh wept and clasped his kneer, And how. she-tended him in vein And ever strove to expiate The acorn that erased her brain! And. that she nursed him in a eave, And how his madness went away : . When on the yellow forenf leaves. a uyiug man ne lay.

She blushed with love and maiden shame; Apd like amurmer of a dream, J heard her breathe my name. Her bosom heaved she stepped aside, As consoious of my love, she stepped Then suddenly with timorous eye She fied to me and wept. She half enclosed me with her arms, She preyed me with a meek embrace; And bending baek her bead, looked up. And grazed upon my faoe.

Pun-cahs are above the tables, moved by eight Chinese boys', four on each : side, so as to fan the company while at meals, chess or cards. Baths are provided. though not warm, for it is judged that the water of the Red Sea ls warm enough without boiling.

Take a room eight feet square, with a door rt one end and a small hole at the othei place four coffins in it, put a man in one, with another just above him and two at his side; wrap him in a dozen blankets and give him a dozen of Dover's powders every hour, a cup of hot sage tea every ten minutes, conduct a steam pipe over him and another under him, and forbid him to stir all night, and you may imagine how I felt. As I began to doze, I jumped up almost suffocated, opened my door, and to prevent itffrom closing, tied it to my berth with my neckerchief, and lay down again, not "to sleep but to perspire.I had taken "sweats" in America,, but owing to some internal irritation, thjpalms of my hands remained dry.

There is something peculiar about the air of- this rainless region, which comes from the deserts ; Nubian, Sahara and Lybian u one side, and the Arabian on the other; and moreover, there is little motion of the air; what little wind we have is aft, and made by a ship's progress, and keeps a dead calm. Never go down the Red Sea in September, and even early October. Truth in Courtship. ; - Be true to your lover. I don't mean stick to him, but don't deceive him.- Let him know, let her know, what" sort of person you really are. Tell each other your faults, make, known your real opinions, state your views of married companions. Despise and abjure the humbugging which is-almost universal among lovers. Girls keep out of sight all theirfailings, and do their best to cause their beaux to think them angels, and men bow like slaves to every wish or whim of their lady-love and seem to live but to make them" happy. Now, this not as it ought to be; it will net be so after marriage. The woman will grow weary of acting her prettiest, and the man will not endure all sorts of inconveniences, and submit to all sacrifices to please tho woman who is securely his own. It is the dearest pleasure of every true woman to obey and make happy the man she loves, if he is kind and reasonable, but how much better it would be to teach the sweetheart as to her true position. I won't say any more to the girls, for as they have to be wooed and won, and as they have fewer chances than the men have, there is more excuse for them to put the best side out; only let them strive to keep it out, and we have no further controversy with them.. But men are without excuse for holding out such pretenses as they do. They are cruel and unwise. Cruel, because the pain which the woman will feel when all his subserviency and preference to her is withheld, will be in proportion to the pleasure with which it is received; unwise, because it may be such a shock to her as to cause her' resolutely to rebel, "or silently cease to love, fn either case, theliusband will be sorely punished for so long ignoring their just relations to each ohQT.Lady Contributor.

"There is ao God' Ed- voard Everett " Hr. Lincoln Willing to Xet Jeff. Davis Escape. Agate, one of the editors of the Cincinnati Gazette, relates the following incidents which occurred in an interview at Newbern N. C, between Chief Justice Chase and General Sherman : . '. .,. . '" "" ' , y ', A dispatch from General Sherman (on his way North from Savannah, and forced bj bad weather to put in at Beaufort) had reached Newbern while we - were there, expressing a very earnest desire to see Chief Justice Chase; and on the return of the entire party. General Sherman's vessel was lying at the wharf, opposite the railroad terminus, awaiting us. Nervous and restless as ever, the General loo Iced changed (and. improved) since the old campaigns in the south-west. He was boiling over with pride at tbe performances of his TtAj through the w!nter, and all the more indignant, by c!6hiequence. at the insults and in-jftsrtce fie imagined himiraself to have received, in consequence of bis arrangements with Johnston.. "I landed the country wanted peace," he exclaimel. . "If they don't let tbm raise mors soldiers.'.' '-" : The General complained, and doubtless with some truth, if not justice,-that the Government had never distinctly explained to him what policy it dired to bave pursued. "I asked Mr. Xioeola explicitly, when I went up to City Point, whether he wanted me to capture Jeff, Dnvis or let him escape and in reply he told me a tory.,. , .. . ' That stor3f"'. may ' now have a historical value, and I give it therefore, aaGtueral Sherman said Mr. Lincoln told it only promising that it 'was a favorite story. with Mr. Lincoln, which be told many tlniss, and in illustration ot nany points of puhlio policy. :" ' . :-: ' III tell yo GsneTaV Ur.

When the leaders of the party, in reorganizing it for the presidential campaign of 1864, were forced to go outside the ranks of the Republicans of 1860 into those of Uhe Democratic opposition, to seek a candidate for the vice presidency, they betrayed their sense of the inevitable result which awaited their system upon the close of the war. The war has ended sooner and more suddenly than any of them then expected, and, by an awful dispensation, the representative President c f the Republican party proper has been snatched away, at the very moment of this great consummation.- Why, then, should the Republican party any longer exist ? It was said of this party, in the canvass whiee resulted in Mr. Lincoln s election, by Mr, Daniel : S. Dickinson, that fit was composed of men of all shades of opinion, including the worst portion of the Democratic party." These heterogeneous elements were necessarily kept together by the pressure of a great national trial and emergency during the war, but the war once over, what is still to keep them to gether. , Before the Presidential election of 1860, the agitation of the question of slavery combined the incongruous and inconsistent sections which made up the Republican party in a common action; but this was only because the conse quences of such agitation to the nation al life and welfare were either imperfectly appehended or utterly derided by most men. Nobody will now" pre tend to assert that Mr. Jumcoln could have been elected in I860 ; and but few will venture to maintain that he would have been so much as nominated then, had be himself or his supporters distinct ly foreseen the results of his election. Now that slavery, as an element of mor al agitation in .American politics, has been eliminated in . the progress of events; and that the tremendous perils attendant upon such moral agitation m politics are no longer -matter of hypothesis for - anybody,' it ; i ; sufSciently clear that a party of. which, moral agi tation is- the sole organizing life must rapidly v become impossible", in - the United States. In the words of Gen. Dix; words which are even more applicable to -the present , moment than they were to the moment at which they were originally uttered : "The coua try longs for domestic repose, and the people will rally around the standard which holds out to them a hope of its attainment." And as, in the words of the same eminent citisen, 'the people need no statement of the fact that the evils of the day are not the work of the Democracy," it is pretty clear that theymust turn from the rcognized makers of the great troubles from which by the help of the Dc nocracy the country is happily emergaug, to thoe who would fain have averted the coming evil, and by whose principles alone its recurrence under new forms can be prevented ' . - 'y The extravagant and violent efforts which the Republican Leaders in New England are now making to excito a fresh tempest of passion and disorder Cver the policy of President Johnson are the plainest possible proof that activity on the part of tho Democratic party is still vital to tho national welfare. ' t . As Daniel S. Dickinson very fitly puts it : . -ne Uemocracv nave a- work t6 do s4 long as they find States arraye4 one against another by the sectional agitators and cat-faced hypocrites who only spread dissensions among the brethren , of a common Union for their own vile and selfish purposes, like one kindles a conflagration that he may run away with the spoils that chance to come within reach." ; This work the Sumnefs and - Butlers, and Pomeroys, the Eqening Jeit9 and Tribunes of the Republican party are determined to give the Democracy to do-. By their furious efforts to make the reconstruction of political order in the distracted and exhausted Southern States the occasion of distracting and exhausting ' the whole country, these frantic and selfish mischief-makers are pointing out to lis what We have now to accomplish. In the language oCGen. Dix, we have . now ? the lingering remains of a sectional question to oast aside the smouldering remains of a burnt out controversy, wh ieh should be patriotically covered up in their own ashes, instead of being blown into new flame. This is the first great, duty. The Democracy of. the Union have to choose , their standard-bearers among tnose who are in favor of acquiescing cheerfully with what has . been settled by competent authority and of leavins what is unsettled to be disposed of' in a constitutional .manner:., whenever. as f practkal questipjis, they cojae.lup for The- frieads of- the TJaited Utes in Lypns, France, fcaVeCf enei a two-cent eab-scription to purchase a bcaclifulranj costly fiagv to be presented to' this country in, msmb-ry of Pitsident Liaceln ' , How an Explosion is Prevented The Author of the PlatformIntense Hos-- tility to Oot. Brongh. The Oiocinoati Commercial, editoriallj, giVes an inside view of the convention held at Columbus on v ednesday. It candidly ad mits that the radicals were very strong, bat that the cool and adroit politicians were anx ious to avoid any decided expression upon negro snSYage, and desirous not to make an issue now with President Johnson. Judge Dickson, the author of tbe . platform, said that he was in favor of negro suffrage, here here and elsewhere, but was notin favor of pushing the matter just now. Judge Dickson has had the reputation, heretofore, of being a bold man, but he evidently lost his courage while shaping -"the platform:" "The elements of an explosion were present and the quick, and quiet adoption of the rule to refer all resolutions to the committee on Resolutions "without reading or debate," disclosed an understanding that there was danger, and a determination to be jndieious. Tbe delegation from the First District appofnted Aron P. Perry upon the Com mt tee on Resolution, without a contest. In the Second District delegation Mr. Wolf made a fight against Judge Dickson, but received only two votes. Before he was bal lotted for as Committeeman on resolutions. Judge Dickson was called on for an expression ot his views, and he said that he was in favor of negro -suffrage here and elsewhere, but was not in favor of pushing the matter just now,, and making a break about it, but would cordially support the administration in the effort making to redress the fallen States. "Some hundreds of sets of resolutions were drawn up at home by gentlemen who fancied they cad a call to eave the country by taking Vhi roughness from ths rugged issue. The committee had an ample supply of literature from which to select, and' after looking over their treasures for a time, a series of resolutions drawn by Judge Dickson, were favorably considered and a subcommittee, of which he was one. appointed to pare off the superfia-ities. Ths result, was the platform.- In the array delegations there was intense bitterness against Governor Brough, and the delegations from the front had a sense of die appointment in finding that "they could not have a chance to pitch into the Governor. There were some exceptions, but the army representatives generally were solicitous for a fight with the State Executive, and bad determined to slaughter him. There was a talk they wonld have put up a candidate of their own, if Brough had remained on the field and received the nomination. : : ihe Petersburg (Va.) ITewi. .
