CEEESTIAE FROEICS. ' The san had put his night-cap on, And coyere’d olre his head, When conntlcss stars appeare’d amid The curtains roiiuu h:s bed. The moon arose, most motherly, To take n quiet peep , . How all the stars behaved while he The sovereign majesty was asleep. She saw them wink their silvery eyes, As if in roguish play; Though silent gll, to her they seemc'd As if they'd much to say. So, lest their frolics should disturb > The sleeping king of lighi, She rose so high that her mild eye Could keep them all in sight. The stars, abnsheh’d, stole softly back. AritJ looke’d demufe and prim; Until the moon began to nod, Her eyes becoming dim. Then sleepily she sought her home, That's some where-who knows where But as she went, the playful stars Commenced their twinkling glare. And when the.moon was fairly gong, The-imps with ail very eyes Had so.much fun : it> woke the sup, And he began to rise. He rose in glory!—from his eyes Sprang forth a new bornAlays; Before brightness all,the stars Ran hastily away.

POEi riCS IN THE t'tEPIT. i ; Old Brudder Fete’« Sermon on Wolves in Sheep’s Cloth- 1 I' ins'* - . . 1 i ‘ ' '—— ; : “Beware of men that come to ; : you in sllsep’s clothings bus within : , theyjare raiving wolyes.” , i hgwinb'ro do'on'disiW present' ’caj sion what Ihebberdorie Afore since i I cbihmeneed spotnidin de gospel; ' ilis a gwine to prtmeh n political 1 sarmint. I's a free American of I African 'scent? and I's got jest as ; good a right to preach politics as i brudder Beecher, or tiny odder man. De tex say, “Beware of men that conic to you in sheep’s clothini.’’ breddepfi? de question axes'itself, what'is'sheep's clothin, you all.knows, is wool; an<J ajl JikewisQ knows de black man got wool arid of hair, on his ci’anioligy. So widoiii stretclv in the figger nipr'n a politiconer sometimes stretches his concience we tex in dis 'Wise •' Beware ob de white men dat comes to you in wool; dat is; comes to you in de guise ob de black man, dat dey feel like be bla,ck man ; but within dey be rayqn jvolves seekin nigger votes.

Dey is gwine to gib de blackmail franchises; and cibil rights, arid buros, and pluribus unurinrf/- and debbil knows what;-make criSfiltis- come twice a year, and' ebery third year •a'jubilD. Beware of dem, my bruddem.; dey lube de black man and black woman like de wolf lubs de sheep; and dat, you know, is for de sake ob de sheep meat. Dey is faVehiri’ Solves, my bruddern, Se'ekin riigger votes. Dey areAhrbkeri winded pblitlcianers, my breddem, dat decent white men won’ t vote for, and dey thinks ,4e.y ggt. eyes. Data why ?dey go m for nigger puffrage; when ae -Lord knows de niggers enough already wid What.good it gw!he"lo do a nigger to Vote ? It aint gwine to put Abai in dd barriigat in.de jpot, tatefti -in .de “■- iiCS - nor corn in dc hoss f roff -— Whiat youtoow about de laws, irty r brcrldctn ? Which "'of you would kfibw a tariff frefij' a {arrap-

in, if yes to meet it by. moonlight ? Which way would you start to go to Congress if; any body was fool enough to elect yo dar? Brudbern, dey sometimes take ye eyeses and de noses in Congress, and sometimes deir are more noses dan eyeses, Has any you got sense enough to tell how dat mout be? If you don't know nuffin bout de laws, how you going to make de laws, or mend de laws ? I knowed a smart nigger once who undertook to mend his watch; he got it to pieces in less dan no time : but arter he worked on it ayrhile debbil himself couldeu't put it togedder. Dat bout de fix you'll get de Government in if you go to tinkerin wid it. Better be hoen corn to make bread for de ole oeman and de Chilians. You all knows how to do dat, but you don’t know how to make laws nor mendem; and you don’t know what sort-of men to choose to do it. You just as apt to vote for a fool as for King Solomon, and you are a heap apter to vote for a rascal dan a good man, kase de text says its de ravenin wolf dat comes in sheep's clothing; and black man can’t tell sheep from wolf.

Dat's what dese mean white men knows ; and dat’s de" reason dey j wants you to vote. Dey fraid I spedtable white folks wont vote for cm, and dey don’t know nuth- ' in, and ip. easy soft sawdered.— ■ Dar's chestnuts in de fire, my brudj erili, an monkey wants em; he rake em out wut dp cat's paws; if it burn de cat, it don't burn the monkey.

When de monkey see chestnuts in de fire and begin to be mighty .perlight to de cat, let de cat take care ob her paws. Dey is ravenin wolves my brudderin seekin whom de may devour. ‘Dey show deir lub for black man for taxin hta cotton three cents a pound, while his chiluns is crying : for bread, his blankets a dollar a par, while he is shibberin with cold. Beware ob dem, belubbed bred- , derin; if youlpts em foot you wid deir soft sawder, you'll be wuss dan poor Esau, who sold his birfright far a mess of potash ; and he mought.li»o.wed fore, he traded for it, dat twant fit.to eat, but only . to make soap out'n. Finally, in conclusion, my bruderen. beware ob men dat comes to you in sheep’s clothin, but within dey is ravinen wolves’.

A Sharp Shot. That profound statesman arid political sage Sheridan, who is running the ciuZZ machine down in Louisiana, in his newspaper' controversy with, that other small potato, Governor Wells charged the latter, during his career, with the unpardonable offenceof appointing a rebel to office—a kind of winging shot from a small fuzee. But Wells, evidently a little audaciotts, loads up his blunderbus and gives, in return, this broadside : “As.to yotir charge of appointing rebels to office, if it is a crime, I would like to ask, General, if you are free from the same accusation. Out of a levee board composed of five members, one of your appointees was a member qf the secession convention, and signed the ordinance of secession. Another is not a citizen of the United States, put claimed ttte protection of the British flag on the arrival of Commodore' Farragut and his fleet, and a third was a blockade ruriner who was arrested and’ tried by a military commission.” Gen. McClellan and family will return to this country next fall, passage for them having been engaged in advace, oh board the Sco-

A Practical Joke. On the shores of Canandaigua Lake, New York, there is a lunatic asylum kept by Dr. Cook, who also recives many inebriates. The Sentinel of Freedom tells the following as having occurred at the asylum: One morning, three years since, Cook entered the breakfast-room, where some convalescents from insanity and a number of reforming inebriates were chatting cosily over their eggs and coffee, and told them tobe in readiness for visitors, as a“Teach3r’s Institute’’ would be up from the town during the morning to study the treatment of the insane. As the doctor left the room, an inebriate, whom we will call Smith, said—- “ Now Cook will come in here with a long string of pedagogues and schoolma'ms behind him, and tell them that we are perfectly harmless, and that they will not see any dangerous patients. I’ll show him to the contrary.” Smith had been in the service of the Northwest Fur Company, and when the doctor came in with his teachers and made the expected assurance of safety’, Smith, who was watching from a crevice of his door, dashed out of his room clad in complete Indian costume, face painted, hair flying and tomahawk ill hand, giving a tremendous war whoop as he plunged at the head man of the ’’lnstitute.” The scene was indescribable. The teachers went flying out of the doors and windows, Smith chasing them through the grounds, the poor doctor half mad at the annoyance and half killed with laughter, and the breakfast-table party, who were in the secret, all in convulsions of delight. Explanation was impossible. The doctor bore his sorrows lil<e a, njhn; the “Institute” passed resolutions of censure the jolly Smith rejoiced in the success of his practical joke, call ing it the best spree of his lifetime? But we hope nobody will go to an inebriate asylum for the fun of it.

A Secret Circular. The Grand Rapid, Michigan, Democrat publishes a secret circular signed by fourteen radicals of Detroit, and appealing to the dupes of Willson, Wade, Stevens &Co.<to come forward with their greenbacks to aid in carrying the Southern elections-—especially in Tennessee. “It announces that Judge William Mills is now traveling as a general agent through the North to ask l for help.” The following is a paragraph from the document. „ ? “The extent of efforts by the committee in all the rebel States, including Tennessee, will be limited only By means provided to operate with, whether it be half a million.or five milions of dollars. The field is wide, and any amount call be expended to advantage.— The members of congress themselves contiributed about 810,000 towards the general fund, and then appealed to the ever true Republicans of the "rich loyal States to make up a sufficient sum to achieve success. Ten gentlemen of the city of Philadelphia im mediately contributed 81,000 each, and the work goes on. The city of New York will raise from 875,000 to SIOO,OOO or more, and New England always do their share. — Each State should do its duty, and Michigan whose blood flowed bn every battle field for freedom, will not fail to be represented in the work to finish up the victory.” All this money to corrupt the ballot box and Africanize ten States for mere sordid and selfish party ends, but not one cent for starving women aud children! Dr. Homes says that easy-cry-ing widows take new husbands soonest ; there is nothing like wet weather, for transplanting. On Sunday, June 16, there were forty funerals at one time waiting, in New York to cross ths Brooklyn ffe/riris’.' ’ " ‘

Why Texas is Called the “Lone Star.” The Lavaca Commercial, being asked by a correspondent why Texas should have for her seal a five pointed star, and as to the origin of the motto, “Lone Star,” replies as follows: “In 1813 the writer hereof met at the house of Mr. Polly, in Bailey’s Prairie, Brazoria County, old Governor Smith. Mr. Smith was provisional -Governor of the embryo Republic, or State, or Territory, of Texas. In conversation about the Texas emblem, the five pointed .star, he gave us its Texas origin. He stated that while acting as Provisional, it became necessary to send some official document to New Orleans. The gentleman who was to take the document insisted that it should have some kind of seal. The 'provisional government had adopted none. Just then some one observed a five-pointed brass button on the Governor’s old overcoat. It was cutoff instantemnd used as a State Seal. Arrived in New Orleans, the newspaper reporters, seeing the impression of the five-pointed brass button on the wax, made it an emblem for the Lone Star Republic.” The Radical Incubus. The Detroit. Free Press holds that the GovergiOnt of the United States has no more right to register voters within the States than it has to appropriate money to register votes in England—-that it is a matter purely belonging to the State government; and yet, this assumption of power on the part of our rulers is costing the people almost exclusively the people of the North—in paying for registering officers alone, to further the interests and perpetuate the power of the radical, party, a daily expense of more titan the daily cost of supporting the entire Government of the United States under the Dimocratic administration of General Jackson. —Ind. Herald.

A lengthy visit from the Christian Commission is sadley needed in the capital of Thad, Stevens’ State. A “Free Love” society was discovered and broken up, a few weeks since, which had drawn in to its embraces many of the most promising young mon and most respectable young girls in the place. It comprised over a hundred members, but was kept a profound secret from all outsiders. Among the members were wives and children of State dignitaries, and all were persons who moved in the better class of society. The ruin of several young girls, and the running away of others, led to a stern demand for confession, and one of the girls told all — Ind Herald. Cisterns. —A cistern five feel in diameter will hold a fraction over five barrels for each foot in depth • six feet, a fraction over six barrels per foot; seven feet, nine barrels per foot; eight feet, eleven barrels per foot; nine feet, fifteen barrels per foot; ten feet> eighteen barrels per foot. The last named figure is quite a large size for a family cistern, and ten feet in depth is as much as we often find; the contents of such a one, according to our estimate would be ten by eighteen —one hundred and eighty barrels, and yet how many of our readers have had to pay for a “three hundred barrel” cistern of a smaller size. Persons contemplating putting down cisterns the present season—and every dwelling should be provided with one—might find it advantageous to preserve this calculation. Gen. Jo. Lane (formerly of Breckenridge and Lane) still lives says the Oregonian, and is making a new dash at politics. Two Volumes of the newspaper' coritaibttUonS of Artemus Ward are to bifi issued by Carleton, of Ne* York-

AU Sects of Paragraphs. A few days ago, a verdant youth, with his blushing bride, arrived at a fashionable hotel in New York. The head of the family immediately registered his name as “Mr. C L and lady, Vermont on a bridal tower. The vigorous blowing of the steam-whistle upon a North river steamboat, the other day, attracted a swarm of bees, which alighted on the end of a board, which was sawed off, and the whole swarm transfered to a tight box. The sharper who sells greenbacks at a discount, and then sells jewelry and refunds the money, and then sells a lot at $5 a piece, and then “lights out,” has been operating in Goshen, and took in the folks beautifully. A man and his wife in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, have been caught in cutting the hair from their neighbor’s cow’s tail’s for hair to sell to the tin peddlers. The good people of that town think it rather mean, especially as fly-time is at hand. lu Newcastle, Del., recently a colored man who killed his brother in a drunken rage was publiclypilloried, then whipped with sixtylashes forced to pay a fine of #5, 000, and then taken to prison to be confined for life. A man engaged in blasting in Summit county, Ohio, had an iron tube three feet long, blown into his head, where it became firtnly imbedded! It entered the forehead and passed through the back of the head, a foot of the tube protruding from each side. He is yet alive. The Boston Advertiser says * that the “blacklegs” invade New England cars to the inconvenience of quiet travelers. A clergyman who seated himself in a smoking car found it almost impossible to resist the importunities of a sharper to hazard a few dollars on “three-card monte." James Brown, aged eight years, while fishing in the river at Poughkeepsie, a few days since, was dragged into the water and drowned. When found his hands still clasped the fish-pole, while upon the hook was a huge eel, which had probably dragged the little fellow overboard.

Mo. 14.

Since the war a strong Catholic sentiment has been growing up in New Orleans. Hundreds who attended the Episcopal church before the war are now Catholics in sentiment, if not regular communicants, and many attend the Catholic churches who were mildly opposed to them, by force of habit and education, six years ago. The Tennessee papers tell a funny story of the exploits of a negro who a short time since found a bag of gold in a hollow log. He converted his gold into five-twenties, and had over 84,000. He went to New Orleans, worked in a barbershop, studied evenings, acquired a good knowledge of English and French, and in March-last went to Europe as an attendant of an exConfederate General, and now turns up as the proprietor of a first class American restaurant in the Paris Exposition. Jerusalem, in 1866, contained a population of 10,000, of whom 5,000 were Mohammedans, 9,000 Jews, and 4,000 Christians of various denominations. Two lines of telegraph connect Jerusalem with Europe, and the chief business of the people is the manufacture of soap and what is called Jerusalem ware, consisting of chaplets, crucifixes, beads, crosses and the like, made principally of moth-er-of-pearl and olive wood, and sold to the pilgrims who annually repair to the Holy City to the number of from 6,000 to 8,000. A certain negro was so convinced of the lowliness of his race that he was indifferent as to his future state, believing that “dey’R make niggers work even in heaben I ” A clergymen tried to argue him out of this opinion, by representing this not to be the case, as there was no work in heaven for him or any one else to do. His answer was, “You gwo ’way, massa; I know better. If dere’s no work for the cufiud pussons up dar, dey’Jl njake ’em shubdedoudtf along 1 ” ___ -r
