TAKE THE PAPERS.
ItY N. P. WILLIS,
Wliy don’t you take the papers?
They’re the life of my delight;
Except about election lime,
And then I read for spito.
Subscribe! you cannot loso a cent,
Why should you be afraid ?
For cash thus paid is money lent,
On interest fourfold pnid.
Go, then, and tako the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pay delay;
And my word for it, if you do,
You’ll live until you’re gray l
An old neighbor of mine,
While dying with a cough,
Desired to hear the latest news
Whllo he was going oif.
I took the paper and I read
Of some new pills in force ;
lie bought a box—and is he dead?
No—heartier than a horse!
I know two men, as much alike ’
As e’er you saw two stumps,
And no phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the papers, and his life
Is happier than a king's;
His children all can read and write,
Aud talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and,
While strolling through the wood,
A tree fell down, and broke his crown,
And killed him, “very good,”
Had he been reading of the nows,
At home, like neighbor Jim,
I’ll bet. n cent that accident
Would not havo happened him !
Why don’t you take tho papers,
Nor from the printer sueak,
Bocauso you borrow of his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man.
And with the printer, too.
ncTdorg~o love.
No dorg to luv, nono to karcss,
How can I ever my sadness ekspress ?
Chunck is defunct, ded as a nale,
Hushed is his barkin; and still is his tale ;
O, such a tale, white on the end.
Opht did he chaso it with a wigglE and bend :
Chase it with hope, twisting around,
Till ovcrcum he reposed on tho ground,
Now he’s ekstinct, dod as a nale,
Where am his bark and the wag. of his tale?
In dream alone, poor Chunck I sea,
Swiggin his milk or else scratching a flea.
’Tis but a dream, waking I weep,
For under 2 feet of ground does he sleep,
O, blissful purp, onst full of pla,
Havn’tl fed you day after day?
Given you milk, given you bread,
Given you many a pat on the head?
Now you’re ckstiuot, ded as a nale,
Where am the bark and tho wag of your tale?
$o dorg to luv, none to karess,
Vanely I strive tho sad tears to repress,
“Why didyer die?” sadly I mono.
Was it from pizen or swallowing a bone ?
No waggin tale, no boamin eye,
Answers the question, or givc3 a reply,
Was it a fit— stoppage of breath—
Eating 2 much the sad cause of your death ?
Still not a word, ded as a nale,
Him is his eye, stilled forever his tale?
Important Divorce Case.
Interesting Decision on the Legality oj
Mormon Marriaaes.
An important divorce decision has just boon
given in a London Court. The petitioner in
tho ease of Ilyde vs. Woodhouso claimed a dis
solution of marriage on tho ground of adul
tery of his wife. The alleged marriage was
contracted at Utah, in the territories of the
United States of America, and tho petitioner
and respondent both professed the Mormon
faith at the time. The petitioner lias since
quitted Utali and abandoned tHat faith, but
the respondent has not. After the petitioner
left Utah the respondent was divorced from
him, apparently in accordance with tho law
obtaining among the Mormons, and has since
taken another husband. This is the adultery
complained of.
Tho Judge remarked in summing up the
case:
Marriage is ono and tho same thing sub
stantially all the t’hristian world over. Our
whole law of marriage assumes this; and it is
important to observe that wo regard it as a
' wholly different thing—a different status
from Turkish or other marriages among infi
del nations, because clearly should never rec
ognize the plurality of wives and consequent
validity of second marriages, which second
marriages the laws of those countries author
ize and validate. This cannot he put on any
rational ground, except our holding the infidel
marriage to be something different from
Christian marriage, and the Christian marri
age the same everywhere. Therefore, all
that the courts of our country Lave to determ
ine is, whether or not the thing called marri
age, that known relation of persons, that re
lation which those courts arc aequainted with
and know how to deal with, has been validly
contracted in the other country where the
parties professed to hind themselves.”
Inasmuch as the marriage in hand was not
according to his view legally contracted, lie
could not grant the prayer of the petitionei
for a divorce, lie added :
‘‘All that is intended to be here decided it
that as between each other they are uoteuti
tied to the remedies, the adjudication, or tlit
relief of the Matrimonial Court of England.”
-There is no blessing like that of health
particularly when you're sick.
A Noble Example.
We arc indebted to the New Orleans Cres
cent fur the following extract from the lec
ture of lion. Chas. Gayarre on “Oath, Armis
tices end Rebellion.”
Some centuries ago, two kings were con
tending for the crown of Castile. I forget
their names at present, but to facilitate the
telling of my story, I shall call one Alfonso,
and the other John. Alfonso proclaimed that
John was ausurperand a rebel, and John re
turned the compliment. Well, John at last
defeated his rival, horse and foot, and carried
everything triumphantly before him with the
exception of a single town, which Alfonso had
entrusted to a stout old knight called Aguilar,
impregnable. “You have done enough for
honor,” said king John to the knight one day,
“surrender, and you shall have the most lib
eral terms.” “If you bad read the history of
your country,” answered Aguilar, “you would
have known that none of my race never capit
ulated.” “I’ll starve you, proud and obstinate
fool.”—“Starve the eagle, if you can.” “I
will put you and the whole garrison to the
sword.” “Try,” was the laconic reply, and
the siege went on. Ono morning as the rising
sun was beginning to gild it with its rays, the
highest towers of the belcagured city, a par.
Icy sounded from the oamp of the enemy.
The old knignt appeared on the wall, and
looked down upon the king below. “Surren
der,” said John again, “my rival, Alfonso is
dead, and the whole of Castile recognizes my
sway aH that of its legitimate sovereign.”
“Sir, I believo you, but 1 must see iny dead
master.” “Go, then, to Seville, to where his
body lies; you may have my royal word that I
shall attempt, nothing against you on your
way, nor against the city in your absence.”
The knight came out with banner flying, and
a small escort of grim visaged warriors. Be
hind him the gates closed; before him the
dense battalions of the enemy opened their
ranks, and as ho passed along slowly, riding
the noble war-horse, shouts of admiration
burst wide and far from the whole host who
had so often witnessed his deeds of valor, and
the echoes of the loud and enthusiastic greet
ing accompanied him until the red plume
which waved over his helmet was out of sight.
Ho arrived at Seville and went straight to the
cathedral where ho found the tomb of his for
eign sovereign. He had it opened, and after
gazing awhile with moist eyes at the pale face
which met his look, he thus addressed the
dead monarch:
"cur, i uau sworn 10 never ueuver iu any
body but yourself, the keys of the town which
you had entrusted to my care. Here they aro.
I have kept my oath.”
Ho deposited them on the breast of King
Alfonso; then, bestriding his good steed, he
galloped back to Jiis post. As soon as he ap
proached, again the ranks of the enemy open
ed, and King John confronted him.
“Are you satisfied, and do you now give up
the contest?”
“Yes, sire.”
“Where arc the keys of the town?”
“On King Alfonso’s breast ; go and get
them ; we meet no more.”
“By heaven, we shall never part,” exclaimed
the King. “Get the keys back yourself,"and
remain in command of tlie town in my name.”
The followers of the King murmured, and
complained of his rewarding a rebel.
“He is no longer one,” said King John.
“Such rebels, when won, bccomo the best of
subjects.”
Iiad I the honor .of approaching the Presi
dent, I would take the liberty of saying to
him: Follow this example, respected sir.
Trust without fear those men who have fought,
to the last for tho cause they loved, and which
claimed their fidelity. Trust those “rebels”
who come to you with clean hands, after hav
ing deposited tho keys of their loyalty on the
dead body of tho Confederacy.
Arrifal of Fcniau Prisoners in Belfast.
From tho Belfast Northern Whig.]
Forty-five Fenian prisoners arrived here
yesterday from Dublin. The appearance of
the prisoners was the most wretched and mis
erable that any one could conceive. They
were all little more than boys—none, appa
rently, over twenty years of age, and seemed
to be the very dregs and offscouring of the
country—members of the Dodger and Bates
school—and the frequenters of the lowest
haunts to be found in a thickly populated city
One would have expected that they would, at
least, have the appearance of respectable arti
sans; but. the worst class that over appeared
in the dock of the Belfast Police-court would
be something to admire and respect compared
with the prisoners who made their debut in
town on Saturday, and aro, doubtless, doomed
to spend a few months in the healthful pre
cincts of a Northern prison. Judging from
what one saw on Saturday, the army of the
Irish republic, had it ever been called togeth
er, would have been the most degraded, un
woiOiL'n anil 1 nn.fit. nfRmnnf hnrlv Hint nvor tr.ul
upon Irish ground. Little hope exists for
any project that men such as these are sworn
to carry, and little need the Government fear
from the Fenians, if such wretched creatures
as these compose the army of the Brother
hood. Having been placed upon the platform,
the prisoners were escorted by a small body
of the police to six vans which were in attend
ance to convey them to prison. A procession
was then formed, the van of which consisted
of ten lancers and four mounted policemen.
Then followed the vans, each of which was es
corted by t wo lancers and two mounted police,
besides a largo body of constabulary on foot.
The roar was brought up by a large number
of lancers and mounted and foot police. The
sight at a distance was rather imposing, but
on approaching nearer, and on getting a sight
of what the vans contained, the looker-on
could not but turn away in contempt at the
sad spectacle it presented.
The Obsequies of Gen. Kelly.
The remains of the late young and gallant
Gen. J. 11. Kelly, who commanded a battalion
of Arkansas Infantry the first year of the war,
and at Corinth, Miss., was promoted to colo
nel of the 8th Ark. Infantry and afterwards
made brigadier General of cavalry in Wheeler's
command, and fell at the bloody cavalry
fight of Franklin Tennessee, were followed to
the grave by a large number of sympathizing
friends and citizens on Sunday afternoon. The
religious services for the dead were performed
in the St. Francis street Methodist church,
the Rev. Mr. Dorman officiating in the pulpit.
It was a solemn scene, aud the bitter memo
ries of the past seemed to rise up, unbidden,
and tinge with melancholy the hearts of the
large audience who listened to the recital Oi
the history of the dead soldier whom they had
come to bury.
The deceased was a youth in years, but a
hero in service and achievement. An orphan
boy, he had no mother but his country, and let
not even his enemies deny the merit of sineer
ity and true devotion to one who gave his
young life to a cause in which he believed
that honor commanded him to draw his sword.
His obsequies have caused old wounds to be
torn opeu and bleed afresh, lie slumbers
with the great army of the dead. We live to
meet and perform tlio duties entailed by a
fruitless suerifica. Let us be as true to our
country as he was to his.—[Mobile Register.

A PICTURE OF SUMNER.
Tho National Intelligencer, in an article on
the action of the Senate, in expelling Senator
Stockton on purely partisan grounds, refers
to the perfidy of Morrill, the dodging of
Foote’s son-in-law, Stewart, and then paints
this picture of Sumner on the occasion :
Appeals were made to Senators ns states
men, as brethren, and as gentlemen: but they
refused to postpono. The power that is “al
ways at war with its boundaries” overruled all
considerations but one, viz : that it would be
relatively two votes stronger if Mr. Stockton
were out. The aged and venerable defender
of the Constitution, Mr. Foote—nil will believe
—could havo but one opinion on such a case
as Mr. Stockton’s. Shall it be confessed to
the world that a Senator of reputation in both
hemispheres arose in the midst of this discus
sion to misrepresent the views of the oldest
member of tlie body, known at the time to be
dying ! What can be sacred if the chamberof
death evokes no respect—if the breath of a
dying statesman can be caught like the gossip
of an caves-droppcr, and, while death is
clutching his heartstrings, a voice be falsely
put into his mouth to entrap those who revere
him ! Who is the Senator for whom tho death
bed of age and greatness can hallow nothing ?
It is the elegant and ornate Sumner ! This
deliverer of ideal bondsmen, this weeper over
poetical catastrophes, this expounder of polit
ical msthetics, insults the dying to defraud
the living.

fully apprehensive that I was most inextrica

CHOLERA NOT CONTAGIOUS.
Dr. Jacob Bigelow, well known as one of the
eminent physicians of the country, says in the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, that
there is no evidence that cholera is contagi
ous ; if it were so, it onglit to have begun, and
perhaps finished its work in many of our sea
ports by this time. Very little is known
about it. No country has succeeded in keep
ing it out by quarrantines, and none, as far
as lie knows, can produce it artificialy or re
tain it after the disposition has disappeared.
“In its own time it moves in thoroughfares
where men are traveling, and spreads in cities
where they are stationary, for no bettor rea
son, than that mankind are its necessary food ’’
In clean and well regulated cities of temper
ate climates, cholera is far from being the
most formidable of epidemics. A greater part
of its victims are tho miserably poor, the
worn-out, the ill-provided and the intemper
ate, on whom this disease only anticipates the
date, but docs not greatly increase the annual
or biennial number of deaths. Its mortality
in our Northern cities rarely amounts to one
per eont, so that a man may reside through
an epidemic in one of our Nortuern Atlantic
cities with less risk than ho can take a pleas
ure trip to Europe.
The Fenian Farce.
From tlio Cincinnati Commercial.]
The Fenian farco is about played out. The
“Head Center” in Ireland, after skulking in
holes and corners fora time, has fled from the
Island. Tho army, ready to rise when ho
stamped his foot, has not appeared. The
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in Ire
land was followed, not by the fighting which
O'Mahony predicted, hut by tiie flight of the
flock of colonels who proceeded from this
country to break up the British Empire. The
Roberts party-, whose plan of campaign was
to invade Canada, were to undertake their job
in the winter, when communications with
England were comparatively interrupted.
The great fact to be considered, and that was
duly- discounted, was the conquest of Canada,
before tho ico was out of the St. Lawrence.
The warm airs and sunny skies of April, are
upon us, and Canada is still under the flag of
England, and tho Fenians make no sign.
