The Ballad to llic Tempest. We were crowded in the cabin, Not a fouI would dare to sleep, It was midnight on the waters, And a storm was on the deep. 1 . . . Tis a fearful thing in winter To be shattered in the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet Thunder, "Cut away the mast !" So we shuddered there in silence, For the stoutest held his breath, While the hungry sea was roaring, And the breakers talked with Death. As thus wc sat in darkness, Eac 1 one busy in his prayers. "We are lost !"the captain shouted, As he staggered down the stairs. But his little daughter whispered. As she took his icy hand, "Isn't God upon the ocean, Just the tue as on the land ?" Then wc kissed the little maiden, And we spoke in better cheer, And we anchored safe in harbor When the ruoru was shining clear.
Xortlicrn Tourists in tlic .South. From the Richmond (Va.)Rulctin. Now that the lions vho brought the south to bay have accorit !! Acd their dan p:crous work, the bac and sneaking- jack als arc coinioir in flocks to Jo their cen trune ami scandal. The south is lull of them They came as soon as tlicy could come iu safety.- 2o sooner docs one swarm disperse than another swarm succeeds it. Unfortunately for the southern people, hy far the greater number of this pestilent crew arc hearty haters of evoryth .southern, and liave tome with malice prepense to search out and publish all that may tend to mortify and injure them. They cannot, because thy will not, ce any merit in the people of thi.s much abuse ! section. Their malignity would be harmless if they confined themselves to the truth, but to the obligations of truth they are utterly insensible. Their invention is as fruitful as their rancor is virulent, and to these two qualities they owe the infamous livel hood they gain, as that animal, abhorred by dogs and man, owes its safctv to its disgusting odor. Misfortune, whether merited or not, excites sympathy in jrenerous minds, .ivagcs even respecct it. It is usually held sacred ainor.p all people. These men sympathize with nothing, respect nothinu'. hold nothing sacred. Tbe br.ive soldier assifds the foe whom he has .struck down. The nobler sort of animal leaves his enemv when be has slain Iii m, but these infamous creatures hunt for the dead to dishonor them, and for the wounded to tear and lacerate them. The jrravc is no .isyltim from their hyena-like malignity. It is the constant eilbrt of these writers to inflame and exasperate the northern mind against the cru.-hed aud conquered people of the south, by every 'manner ol mistatcmont and misrepresentation. The southern editor, whoso business it is to look over his exchanges, sees little to please and encourage much to disgust and sicken him, lie sees in the newspapers that he opens, irom every section ol" the country, evidences of the mischievous industry of these malicious b isy-bodies, who appear to write with equal avidity upon important and trivial occurrences. Opposed to the reorganization of the southern States, aud rroatlv adverse to the policy id trusing; southern men with the administration of southern affairs, these writers arc now busily engaged in endeavoring to produce the impression on the northern mind that the southern people have determined to reduce tho manumitted negroes to a servile condition, to reeuslave them as soou as military authority is withdrawn from tho outh. A baser calumny thin this was never penned. So far from such being the general purpose of the south, or of any sou Item state, or of any neighborhood in any southern state, wo seriously doubt if a single southern man could be found who would re-enslave thenoiimes if he had the power. Now that the dreaded shock is over now that tho licrocs have been freed, and the masters have been released from the cues aud responsibilities of ownership, the.e is a general disposition not only to submit to emancipation as a necessity, but to accept it with cheerful ness. lKfcnsc Against Mobi. The (I rand Jury has ignored the bills charging Kdward Ingcrsoll, l'srp, with assault aud battery, and carrying concealed deadly weaions. Tho case arose out of the cowardly attack made upon Ingersoll by a mob of ruflians, and the defense of his person on that occasion by the presentation of a pistol. The action of the (Jrand Jury is a just, but far from adequate rebuke to the actors in that unlawful and scandalous affair, and to the Dogberry by whom he was bound over; it also settles the question as to the right of a man to defend his life from tho violence and murderous assault of a mob. Thi.s action of the grand imiuest of the eily is a, gleaai of light, and, wo lnpo, heralds the approach ofa period when the civil law will be sufficient to protect American citizens from' vioienco and outrage. The luv is ihe only safeguard of our rights'. hen that is superceded by fbo passions and prejudices of a mob, mil her life, liberty nor property can be guaranteed for a single hour. Philadelphia Age.

.Staiitou-Anollicr TScituliIic-tm Iali er 011 ESin:. From the Springfield (Mae-s.) Republican, Mr. Stanton has been perpetrating unc . f 1 , . H H.l more 01 ms uespouc antics, rora s uica- j night ao. The irovcriimcnt seized and imprisoned Ford and his brother, but released them, as no evidence implicated cither of them in the slightest decree. The gaycrnuicnt damaged the fortune of Ford to the extent of 25,000 by closing the building long. It makes no reparation for such a terrible infliction. At last it gave up possession of the theatre to Mr. Ford and he got ready to re-open it. Three hours before the doors were to be opened for the amusement of the people Mr. Stanton again took possession. It is undeniably a case of arbitrary and rcck1 seizure. It was us purely despotic an act as ever Kussiau czar committed. Yet at Jus very moment some of the morel jiioniinciii ui me newspapers which Slipport Mr. Johnson's reconstruction r.olicv j are pleading that the war is over and that the government has no authority to demand nri o hulFragc at the South. When arc these irresponsible and des potic acts to cease ? I am not foolish enough to supinc any newspaper writing 1 mm iT.,i-.. i 11 "J i .i at will luue the tightest ml iicnce with 31 r. luuuu that some ol 3Ir. htautou s acts have cost, the party many votes. :,: :,: The more this subject is regarded the more outrageous does it appear. Mr. Ford is deprived of his property simply because Mr. Stanton thinks it is unpleasant that theatrical performances shall t:ike place in the building Mr. Lincoln was killed. It is rumored that Mr. -'tant.n will order Edwin IJooth under arrest if he attempts to act again before an American audience, and a friend at my elbow says that it is not impossible that Mr. Stanton in his report next winter will suggest the propriety of a law prohibiting the newspapers from commenting on his petty acts of tj ranny after he shall retire from the war department. ina-.-ff.--Cir. We arc much concerned, says the Journal, at the alarming progress crime is making in our community. It seems that a portion of our soldiers are determined that bloodshed shall not end with the coming of peace that, if they cannot have the excitement of battles and perilous marches, they will seek it in street brawls, iu murder, assassination, and robbeiy. We live iu almost ua reigu of terror." No man can walk the streets at night without danger to his life. The reports of firearms are heard throughout the whole night, and assaults upon pcacal.de citizens are of such frequent occurrence that they have nearly ceased to he thought of as outrages, being regarded as the natural results of soldiers being brought iu tontact with citizens. Wo do not see what good is effected ly having our city thronged by drunken men, with guns in their hands, or pistols iu their belts, readv, at the least provocation, and unxious upon the least pretext, to take the lives of her citizens. We have upon two occasions, seen squads of armed soldiers, glad of the excuse to ' kill a d ned watchman," actually hunting for police officers, evidently intending to make an assault upon them whenever they found them. This state of things must stop. We believe the citizens of Louisville to bo as patriotic as any people under the sun, but patriotism dues not require a man to live iu constant fear of death or to have his family rudely insulted or to witness such disgusting scenes iu our streets as soldiers riding iu carriages, and walking arm in ar.u with vile women. We admire the rallant soldier, who in defence of his country marches fearlessly to the battle and endures privations of long and weary marches, but wo nave no respect for the man who disgraces the Hue ho wears by idleness, drunkenness and crime. We have no sympathy with him whatever. The fact that he h is been a soldier of ".Sherman's army'' makes him more dispicable to us, fer tarni.-hing, so far as he can, the bright escutcheon of that patriotic host. What Is Dvht. J)ebt is death, living death, whereby a man sells his living body, it nut his soul, to his creditors. Debt is a mortgage of one's arm, one'.s life, to the mortgagee. Debt thus is slavery, and a curse, not only upon one's self, but, if a .National Debt, upon one's posterity. A National Debt mortgages :i hitherto free people to capital masters, and owners ofa nation. Wo are bond w mien, and bond children, and our children become bond men and bond women. Kvery pound yl' bread we eat, every pound of beef on our table, every garment upon our bodies, every thing wo touch, taste or handle, is bonded to pay the interest on tliis debt to capital. We work for lifo to pay interest to capital. N. Y. 1.x press. .-4 llichmond is full of New England Puritan school teachers, who have collected hundreds of negro children and are teaching them to sing "John llrown's body,'' xi, and to blow their noses at the word ol command. Tho reformers go sneaking about tho city eating (Sovcrnmcut rations, playing the detective and spy, watching opportunities to seize on confiscated estates, and altogether, conducting themselves in such a manner as to disgust decent Northerners and make them ashamed of their section. Such is Puritauism always.

The Cause of i:ihcrilsc8 Aiu mI. It appears that Hon. Eujersou Kther idge was arrested for a scathing review of
the political antecedents of Andy Johnson an j parsoIl jroWUIoWj hich he places in contrast with their present political status. The Cincinnati Commercial, commenting upon the letter of Kthcridgc to the President, which is full of biting sarcasm, remarks: 'The Use he makes of parts of the record of the President, is rather ingenious aud not a little funny. There is a novelty; in the ucnuuciatiou of Andy Jchuson as a secessionist that is refreshing. Thus far, he has, fduco he became President of the United Stale.-?, enjoyed almost exemptiou from criticism." Mrs. Schratt. Kev. Dr. Olds, who attended David K.

These facts were made known to the Pres , , x . . , . . n ldcnt, yet he reluscd to grant a lew w. i V i .i leys luutary testimony ol two pns were about to be ushered into eternity, and who could have no motive for shielding Mrs. Surratt if she was guilty, and the fact that the judge of a civil court thought there were sufficient reasons to justify the issuing the writ of habeas corpus, made a case which should have h.'.d sufficient weight with the President to have induced him to let the law take its course but under such circumstances he directed the sentence of the court to be carried out, and that within a few hours after it was announced to tho coudemned. Few indeed are the persons over this broad land who would wish to shield the participants iu that terrible crime, but, as iu the case of Mrs. Surratt, where there is a reasonable doubt of guilt and the credibility of tho only witness whose testimony weighed against her is very questionable, it would have been more iu accordance with justice to have allowed ample lime to have established her guilt or innocence beyond a reasonable doubt. As the matter now stands, the moral effeot of puuishuient in her case is lost, for a large portion of the people of thg country firmly believe that her life was unjustly taken, and developing circumstances confirm that impression. Si((r S' ut'n L It should be remembered there are now no newspapers published iu the Southern .States by native Southerners. Tho various sheets that are allowed to ha published exist only by the sufferance of the military authorities, and cannot be regarded as expressing the sentiments of the Southern people. Those people really have no means of expressing their views, or refuU ing the slanders which are heaped upon them, or declaring' their wishes upon any subject. The administration newspapers are imposing upon their readers by copying extracts from Southern papers printed by Abolitionists, who no more reilect the sentiments of the Southern people than do the Uoston or Washington organs.

The symptoms of the President's iilncss are said to be ofa somewhat peculiar character. Iu the evening, he is troubled with dizziness anda weakness in the limbs, so that his gait is irregular and unsteady, and he labors u.ider optical illusions, which led him to imagine that tho furniture of his room has a rotary motion, and the apartment itself revolves around his chair. In the morning, ho complains of thirst and headache, and his hands are disposed to tremble. He is als) alUicted with a violent hiccough. The physicians prescribe mineral water aud plain soda. The complaint is said to be quite common in Washington, but the President's is an aggravated case. Tm: Why ov It. A Havana correspondent writes in reference to the Arguelles ease that the Captain (leneral of Cuba denies ever having made application for the return of Arguelles. His abduction is therefore the work of Marshal Murray instigated or sanctioned by Seward, who wanted above all things to get hold of Appleton Oaksmith, on account ofa scathing letter, publi.-hed by that gentleman in the Tribune (and copied into the Watchman) dissecting Seward's ''little belf' operations and his infamous treatment of the prisoners confined in Fort Eafayctte. He resorted to tho desperate scheme of giving Arguelles in exchange for Oaksmith out of revenge for the terrible severity of that letter. The plot failed, however. Creenport (N Y.) Watchman.

.idg.i jj-y.vjj&aiA'i!g",-H!q Old Clot lies. I consider people w ho make sport of an old man's shabby clothes destitute of feeling and worse than the heathen. WTho could be guilty of calling the blush of resentment to a wrinkled chek ? the quiver of grief to a withered lip? the tcarot sorrow ta a faded eye washed of its brilliancy by floods of tears ? Never, verer laugh at the scanty garments of the poor. Poverty has a strong; tide of sorrow to stem, and a frail bark to guide at the best. It has da.-hed so often against the rocks, that it hardly holds together. Sink it not with your uukindncss. Sneer not at the old cbdhes. They are often made only by long sacrifices; by careful Hidings away, that they may last till the dear ones aro provided f,r. II many .an old coat could' speak, what talc they would tell of the noble hearts beating underneath ? Yonder rusty garnier. t would repeat the struggles of a devoted father, whose sonis earning laurels at the college hard br How he counted the farthings, and choked down pride, that his boy, his noble, beloved boy, might yet do him honor. That faded shawl, folded tightly over spare shoulders ! Year after yar has the iijother cleansed and mended and laid it carefully away, as (she called it) "good rs new," that her bluc-vyed daughter mighthave book-learniug.' And now her darling, only eighteen, teaches the district school God bless her ! and the tiothci smiles over the dim, dusky-patterned ribbon and prim old merino that were cleaned up to enable her to buy Uessic a pretty bonnet, and a dress such as she deserved Oh ! that blessed self-denial of aspiring poverty ! Hallowed be old bonnets, old cloaks, old coats. :iyc, and old shoes, when such Icvc points to them as its iuouu menfs. More than one briuht and shining light', let me tell you, owes its brilliancy to old clothes, more than one star in literature, philosophy and divinity. Think of this when your eye chances to light upon the thread-bare coat, or the faded slnwl; suppress the smile, keep back the sneer. You know not what the heart beneath has suffered, how many limes bled. You know not what evil has haunted, what storms swept over it. You know not what Godlike impulses have once made it great ami strong, or what bitter draughts poisoned, its fountaius, or what blighting; mildew sapped it iu its full vigor. Let not the cup of the poor man's sorrow be ever yours. An it on Hi sin;. The editress of the Weekly Herald, (Thompson, Ga.,) has undoubtedly met with some brainless feller"' who has had. the downright impudence, in the coursuof a little sly courting, perhaps, to ask her to kiss him. The following from her pen must have been written before her miud had fully recovered from the shock; Well, we reckon, some folks would really like to know what we thought of. Let's see. In. the first place wc thought what an aosurd idea it is in a man to ask a lady to kiss him, just as if he, the senseless being, thought the poor trembling: little creature was iroing to do it. The idea ofa man asking for a thing so easily obtained ! Why, it is ridiculous, und :i man with the least particle of brains wo'd hoot at the idea. She'd say no till doomsday. And you, poor believer, would forego the happiness of drawing nectar from that rosebud mouth, simply because you was ignoramus enough to ask for what might have been taken. There are ten thousand ways to kiss a girl without askink tho pleasure. Direct her attention to something on the table; ask l r a book you know to be there, and while she is there go with the affected purpose o'pelping her to look for it; be particular to get on her left side do you need any more telling ? If you do, you do not deserve the kiss that might be so gracefully taken. A man who would ask a kiss tu' a fair maiden ought to be tarred and feathered as a craven hearted monster. lut do it; ilou't for goodne.-s sake ask tho girls to kiss you. Kiss them if you want to, but do it like gentlemen. Kiss them if voir can. Sf.umox ox Tkkiii. Did you ever think of what inestimable vahu is a sound, well-formed set of teeth to a man, and more especially to woman what influence they have upon tho character, often through life? Independent of their animal use, their moral effect is greater than most people suppose. For instance, take two young girls of fifteen; say, the one with beautiful teeth, the other with a very defective set. Wc will suppose they hae equal beauty of person, and are cual in all intellectual endowments. You will find a vast difference in tho development of character as they mature into womanhood. The one with splendid teeth will soon know that they are the admiration of all, and wo aro apt to dwell upon what we are most admired for. She will court every opportunity tv show her teeth; ready to smile, and laugh, and be gay; while the other, unfortunate., will be constantly told of her misfortune! "What a beautiful girl, but such teeth !" She, unlike tho more fortunate one, will try to conceal her teeth, will laugh as Feldern as possible; and, when she does laugh, it h a suppressed laugh a sort i f pucker of the lips. Glory is well enough for a rich man but it is of very little consequence to a poor man with a largo family. If "all the world's a sfago, and men and women merely players,' where is the audience and orchestra to come from? That's a stuunor. It is estimated that it costs ten millions of dollars annually to feed the dogs in the United States.
