Every person has some sort of an opinio?!, more or less distinct, of all persons with whom ho is acquainted. This opinion may embrace intellect, disposition, virtues, vices, personal appearance, deportment and condition in life. Soalso, everj'one has some opin ion of himself on the samo, and upon many other subjects best known to himself. When one examines himself, he seems to do it as though ho were another person. He uses the eyes of others. He turns aside, as it were, by the way, to see himself pass by. The judgment which ho forms of himself is, generally, much more unsound than that which ho forms of others. The eyo cannot sec itself so neither can any man see himself. He must use a mirror. There aro many of these.— History, books, daily example, ever}* person with whom he comes in contact his own experience aro mirrors. If he sees himself in these, and thereby corrects his own errors and follies, and gives himself reasonable and just credit for his attainments, he may come at last, to be entitled to entertain a respect for himself.

tossed to and fro on his couch, har-rasst-d by unpleasant and frightful dreams, and disposed to protract his stay in bed in the morning to makeup for the fatigue and restlessness of tho night, and when he arose, found himself dull, unrefreshed, irritable and melancholy? Even a too heart}' dinner, taken at twelve o'clock, will very often produce such an irritation of the digestive organs, as to disturb, or de-
the rest of the subsequent night

the grand cause of those unpleasant
SllOl'etS, dreams, so troublesome and exhausting to nervous individuals and even '•the night-mare," which is only the climax of dreaming, is usually occasioned in the same manner. This dis1 urbi'd repose, or partial sleep, produced in some constitutions, the idea of visions and revelations. Nearly ail this irritation, restlessness and suffering could easily be avoided, only by living in obedience to the laws of health.
But 'now can we expect to live in obe-1 success of the Confederacy and th dience to the laws of health, or to any perpetuation of slavery.' They then of the physical, moral, or social laws, (which must ever govern us) until af ter wo have three-fourths troubles, afflictions, and premature deaths which overtake the human family, are caused, directly or indirectly,
just, which does not conform to natural law. To that best thing, and to that best manner, no ono, perhaps, ever attains but it cannot be doubted that there is some such standard, and he who comes the nearest to it, is he who is best entitled to entertain a good respect for himself. There area great many who seem to have had this standard in view throughout their lives.— While the majority of men, seem merely to float along, as a rccd, down tho stream of life without any fixed principles. Not even caring, or daring, to think for them60lves but thinking about as others think, and acting as others act—somewhat like spindles in a factory—act as they are acted upon.

by shore ignorance and ungovernable the management of public affairs to those whose right to do that work they then acknowledged. While they acknowledged tho authority of Congress over the States 'lately in rebellion,' and I think had confidence in its fairness, there were a few men—Southern men— whom they hated with a most intense hatred. Tho chief of those was Andrew Johnson. But now their feelings toward him have entirelychanged, and they regard him as 'the savior of tho South, and their only hope.'

On tho first Wednesdav of this

By the way that question of admitting tho Tennessee delegation to Congress is one receiving considerable thought here now. The great reconstructed are clamorous for it, and fierce in their denunciation of taxation without representation, contending that they have forfeited nothing by their war on tho Government, and cherishing the imaginary right to vote taxes for the rebel debt, or no taxes for the Federal debt. As for the really loyal men they feel very differently. All tho noiso j7ou hear from this quarter about the immediate !tdmi«cinn of our doiocat.ions 70a mar

of a Found-
i~ ..'[Prom tho Now York Times.]
The readers of tho Times will no doubt remember that a paragraph appeared in the issuo of the 23d ult., to the effect that a little wanderer was waiting identification at the police headquarters, and that the little fellow was constantly talking of his father's chickens and sheep. Since that time the boy remained unclaimed until Sat urday last-, when lie was identified by a lady from Naugatuck, Connecticut, who gavo the officials at police headquarters the following remarkable account of the child "About two years and a half ago, a widow, residing in Naugatuck, Conn., whoso husdand had died in the service of his country during ono of the early campaigns of the war, was sitting in a lawyor's office in the city of New Haven, where slio was having the necessary statements mado out to enable her to obtain the back pay and bounty duo her deceased husband. While patiently waiting for the leisure of the clerk, a strange gentleman accosted her and inquired if
bIio
had any objec
tion to take chargo of a male infant until it could be sent to school, adding that he was the guardian of the child, and was willing and able to provide liberally for its maintenance. After some hesitation on the lady's part, the arrangement was made that she should receive the infant, and receive six dollars per month for its caro, when the gentleman departed. A few days after he appeared at the widow's house, at a late hour of the night, accompanied by a young lady, who" a child about six weeks old was committed to the widow's caro. Every precaution was taken to evade anj' detection of the identity' of the infant, no marks appearing upon its clothing, and a valuable shawl in which it had been wrapped, being carried away when the lady and gentleman departed. "The widow continued in possession of the little castaway for some weeks, but having already fivo children of her own to care for and support, she naturally found the infant a burden.— Her sister, a Mrs. Robinson, residing in the same town, came to her assistance, and being in bottor circumstances. volunteered to assume tho care of the mysterious little stranger. Tho transfer was duly made, and Mrs. Robinson continued in undisturbed possession of tho babe until the present time, receiving tho stipulated 672 per an num through the mails. The bojr proved a bright little feilow, and the lady became devotedly attached to him despite tho fact that she had already two of her own to care for. She gave the infant the name of Goorge, and took tho greatest caro of him, not knowing nor caring to discover the parentage of tho babo, or to penetrate the veil of mystery which surrounded it. Time rolled on, and George grew up a hearty, healthy child, and was fast verging on to the age of three years when all this domestic happiness was rudely broken in upon. On tho 13ih or 14th of April last, Mrs. Robinson was startled by tho receipt of a letter from the unknown and almost forgotten 'guardian' of tho child, in which she was requsted to meet him at the New Haven railroad depot in this city, on the 17th inst., and to bring the child with hor. The reasons given in the letter for this request were that the mother of George was anxious to see him,and he had consented to gratify
The rail road
fare was forwarded to Mrs. Robinson, who, after mature deliberation, concluded to comply with the request, and accordingly came to this city on the day designated. When she' arrived at the depot, Mrs. Robinson was met by the mysterious stranger, and by him escorted through Twenty-sixth Street a short* distance. Here he suddenly stopped, and informed the lady that she could go no further, as he did not wish the mother to be recoguized, and that if she would go back to the depot, ho would go on with the child, and ioturn in an hour. Not fearing anything Mrs. Robinson consented, but had scarcely reached the depot when the 'guardian' came in and informed her that the mother had received George, and that they would now go to dinner, taking hor over to the Westchester County Hotel, corner of Twenty-sixth Strrc-t and Fmjrtii Atonuv At

o'clock he again loft her, saying he was going for the boy. Mrs. Robinson waited until 7:30 P. M., when the mysterious stranger came in and informed her that George's mother was so delighted at his appearance, that she had implored permission to retain him a week, which request he had reluctantly granted. "Mrs. Robinson returned to Nauga« tuck, intending to return to this city at tho expiration of the stipulated week. That was the last time she saw George until she found him at tho police headquarters. When the week had passed she became uneasy*, and at length unable to repress her anxiety, Mrs. Robinson went to Now Haven on the 23th ult., where her attention was called to a paragraph in a New York paper stating tho particulars of the "little wanderer." Recognizing tho foundling as the boy about whom she was grieving, she telegraphed to Mrs. G. W. Ewing, tho matron in charge of the Lost Children's Department at the police headquarters, following tho telgram by the next train. On her arriving she was gladly recognized by George, and against ber fears, gave tho sympathizing matron tho particulars regarding the little wanderer, narrated above. "Yesterday, Mr. M. O. Ilallenbeck, second clerk, took the boy before Justice Hogan, at the Tombs Police Court, when ho was committed to the care of tho Commissioners of Chanties and Correction."
A Clergyman
on
Fire.—The New-
York correspondent of tho Boston Journal reiates the following: In ono of our Presbyterian Churches the other Sunday morning a minister was officiating with all due decorum and solemnity. All at once ho began to cut up queer antics and shortly disappeared from public view, to the no small astonishment of his auditors.— The pulpit being a closed one, boxed up on all sides and tho door shut, tho people could not tell what was going on. Smoke arising from the pulpit gave assuranco that thero was fire somowhere, and the stench filling fcho house, petting every one coughing and sneezing, indicated that there was more brimstone about the pulpit than was necessary to conduct the ordinary service. Tho excited congregation learned after a while, that the minister was on tire. It seems that he carried in his pocket a lot of lucifer matches, and they ignited and set him on fire. Assistance carao and the minister was put out. The whole thing was ludicrous in the extreme, and though the service was continued the solemnity of tho audionco was not as marked as on other occasions.

False Calves'—fjistability
op a
Sawdust Contour.—Faleecalves have mado their advent in Cleveland, Ohio. The Plaindealcr says: "We have a very startling arrival to chronicle. 'False calves have come to town 1' They arrived a day or two ago. .There are two kinds, Ono is stuffed with hair—tho otber with saw dust tho latter, of course, boing tho cheapest. Yesterday, a young lady with tilting hoops and false calves waa perambulating through tho park, when suddenly one of tho calves burst. Our readers can imagine the result. The poor young lady could be traced by a trail of saw dust from Rouses block to the Post Office. [Excuse a tear.]— Thus-the maiden, who entered the park in form resembling the Vonustle. Medici, emerged therefrom in a state of spindle shanked angularity!"
