Once in Pernia reigued a King, Who upon his signet ring Graved a maxim true aud wise, Which if held before his eyes, Gave him counsel at a glance, . Fit for every change or chance; Solemn words and these are they: "Even this shall pass away!" Trains of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarcaud; Fleets of galleys through the seas, Brought him pearls to match with those. Hut he couutod not as gain Treasures of the mine or main; "What is wealth?" the King would say,' "Even this shall aiis away. In the revels of his court, At the tenith of his sport, When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his jests He, amid his tigs and wine. Cried, "O, loving friends of mine! .Pleasure comes, but not to stay, 'Even tliis shall pass away-'" 1 jwly fairest ever seen, 1 ( 'hose he for his bride and queen; Couched upon the marriage lied, . WhisHring to his soul he said; "Though a bridegroom never pressed Dearer bosom to his breast, Mortal flesh must come to clay! 'Even this shall pass away.' " Fighting on a furious field, Once a javelin pierced his shield, Soldiers with a loud lament, Bore him bleeding to his tent, Groaning from his tortured side; "Pain is hard to bear," he cried, "But with patience, day by day, 'Even this shall pass away,'" Towering in the public squvo,' Twenty cubits in the air, . Rose his statue, carved in stone; Then the King, disguised, unknown, Stood before his sculptured name Musing meekly, " hat is fume? Fame is but a slow decay, 'Even this shall pass away." Struck with palsy, sere and old, Waiting at the gates of gold, , Spake he with dying breath, "Life is done; but what is death?" Then in answer to the King, Fell a sunlieam on the ring, , Showing by a heavenly ray "Even this shall pass away." CAISUS OF TUB TUOt'BLB. From the N. Y. Sun.

The wel fare of the people at large aud the in terests ol labor in all its tonus were subordinated to these poweriul in uone38. Reconstruction, by which tlie boullieru Mates were impoverisn ed and oppressed, became t part of the system through which the Croat monopolies were upheld, because it furnished votes lor silencing opposi tion in Congress, with majorities of two tt nils to overcome vcIocb, when interposed by Andrew Johnson. Xo sueli party dcpolism was ever befoie witnessed in this country. The cry of disloytlty was shouted against whoever gave a sign ol ind pen deuce. I Few were brave enough to confront it, and the great mass submitted to the degrading discipline without a word of remonstrance. The ring oh ie Is entered Congress as masters. They demanded charters, land grants, and subsidies, and they 'were voted with alacrity by the purchased mem bcrs, until hundreds of millions of the most valuable part of the publio do main passed into the hands of lew mirantic corporations, lensot mil lions from the treasury were also voted to these toi poratiotis, and then B.

Mauulacturers likewiso obtained any legislation they needed, and the tariff to-day is a mass of protracted monopolies,' without rule or reason. In this wild and reckless career the publio expendi tures were multiplied under every conccnablo pretext, the currency was expau'ded, olliecs were created, and extravagance without accountability dominated. The publio revenues were stolen, and every department of tho government was run by a ring. Aflev seven years ol fictitious suc cess, tho bubble burst by tho bank ruptcyfif one ol tho pillars ot the vicious' iystom. and in spite of the il legal efforts of the then secretary of the treasury to preveut an inevitable catastrophe. The ruin and misery in flicted by the collapse of 1873, aud by its consequences since then, can not be measured in money, Of all the sufferers, tho laboring men aud their families have had most to en dure, not only iu the reduction of wages, but also in the increase of their burdens, lur it is not the rich class, by any means, who pay the bulk of the taxes. They are the favored few, who do not fee the turn of tho screw which makes poverty shriek in agony. Superadded to these and other causes came tho presidential election of last year. Everybody knows Mr. Tilden was chosen by a large majori ty ot the people, white aud colored, and by a majority of tho electoral colleges. A conspiracy was deliber ately concocted to deprive the conu try ol the victory thus won, aud it succeeded. Mr. llayes is administer ing tho government by a barefaced fraud ou the people,' and through the combination ol some of the very men who were leaders during the period wo Lave above described. They could uot afford to have their past misdeeds brought to light, ai Mr. Til Jod would have unearthed them ; aiid they were determined to hold ou to power and patronage at any cost. It is not to ue supposed that the orkihg men, laborers and others, were ludiuereut spectators to these events. They taw great corpora tions and rings combining to increase their wealth, and they combined also lor their own interests, lhey saw the constitution practically over thrown and the laws trampled under foot, to install a doteated candidate in the White House, and the example has had Us bad efluct. Desperate and dangerous muu have improved the chance to make common cause with the strikers, and tho enemies ot social order may be said to have taken the causa ol the strikers out of their hands, and substituted lor it terrorism and plundor. What will bo the outcome, time alone can tell : but one thing is cur tain, we are uow reaping the bitter fruits ot the excesses, plunder, cor rupt legislation, frauds and iu'uiuilies ot the llepublicau party, and taped- lly of the crowning outrage, iy which a successful conspirator was in stalled in tho Whito IIouso. We must deplcro tho sad scenes and the awlul events of the past week; but certainly no reflecting and candid man. who recalls the reoeut past ana observes the actual present, cau en Urely wonder at these things. t'O.X SUMPTION Positive!'

Uur noble old chiei luen eral Lee) was a christian net merely iu prolessiou but in reality, and uia every thing in his power to promote tie moral anu spiritual wenare ui ma army. The piety of "Stonewall" Jackson is as historic as his splendid military achievements, and the intiu ence which he exerted for the relig ious good of his officers and men can never be fully known iu this world. These noble leaders had at the first cooperation of such Christian soldiers as Generals D. IL Hill, T. It- Cobb, A. II. Cojquit, J. E. i. Stuart, W. A Pendleton, John 13. Gordon? C. A. Evsns. John l'engram, and a large number of other generals, field, staff and subdoruate othcers; and during the war Generals Ewell, Longstreet, Hood, Tender, li. H.

Up on several occasions I saw barefooted men stand iu the snow at our servico, aud one ofthe chaplains reported that in February, 1804, he preached iu the pen air to a very largo congregation, who stood iu snow Beveral .inches deep during the cmiro eervce.iind that he counted in the uuiubcr 14 barefooted men. And this eagerness to hear the iospol was even more manifest du ring tho most active campaigns. On those lamous marches of thu valley campaign of 18(52, which won for our brave fellows the sobriquet ot "Jack son's loot cavalry," I never fouud the mon too weary to assemble in largo umbers at the evening prayer meet ing, and enter with a hearty zest the simple service. At half past seven o clock ;n tho morning the day ot the buttle nt Cross Keys, a large part ot vey a brigade promptly assembled on an intimation that there would be preaching; tho chaplain of the '23lh, Virginia regiment (Uov. Dr. George C. Taylor, now a missionary to Italy) was interrupted at "thirdly," in his able aud eloquent sermon, by the ad- auco or the enemy, and soon thu shock of battle succeeded the invita tions of tho Gospel. 1 ho morning Larly s brigade was relieved from its perilous position at Warrenton While sulphur apringB, on the second (Mauassas campaign and recrossed to the south side of the tappahanifock, one of the largest congregations I ever saw assembled tor preaching",' unmindlul ol the tierce artillery duel that was going ou al the tune, until the service was inter rupted by thu lulling ol an immense shell in the center of the congregation, but w ss resumed and completed so soon as the comma.id could be moved back to a more sheltered position The night before the lust day at the second Manassas Col. W. II. S. Day lor was iu command ol the old titouu wall brigade of which he was made brigadier general the very day he was killed, bcuding lor bis trieud Cap laiu Hugh White.hu said to him: "I know the tucu are much wearied out by the battle of to day, and that they need all the rest they can get lo til iheiu lor the impending struggle ol to morrow, but I cannot ccv.ciu that we shall seek our repose until wo have had a briet season of worship to thank God lor the W;toryut lo-Jay and to beseech his continued proteu tion and blessing during this terrible conflict. Ihe men were quietly notified that there would be short prayer-meeting, and nearly tho whole of the brigade and number from other commands assembled at the appointed , place. Captain Hugh White led the meeting with the Intel liirentseal ofthe experienced Chris tiau. Col. liaylor joined in it with the fervor of one w ho hud but recent ly felt the preciousness of a new born faith iu Chrst, and it was a solemn and impressive scene lo all. In the great battle which followed the next day, Col. liaylor, with the flag ot the "Stonewall" brigade in his hands, and the shout of victory on his lips, fell, leading a splendid charge, and gave his noblo life to the cause he loyed so well. Hard by, and a-iouttlie same moment, Capt. While was shot down while behaving with the most con snicuous callantry, and these two younir nieu had exchanged the ser vice ot earth tor golden narps anu laue- Itss crowns of victory. As the great cavalry chief, Gen. J, E. 13. Stuart, was calmly aud quietly breathing out his noble life, he said to President Davis, who stood at his bedside: "I am willing to die if God and my country think that I have fulfilled my destiny and discharge my duty." Col. Lewis Minor Coli man of the University of Virginia who fell mortally wounded at first Fredsicksburg, and lingered tor some weeks in great agony, uttered many sentiments winch would adorn the brightest pages of Christian experi enee, and, among other things, sent tins passage to his loved and honored chieftains: Tell Uens. Lee and Jack son that they know how a Christian soldier should live: I only wish tLey were here to see a Christian soldier " Not many months atlerwar Jackson was called to "cross the river aud rest under the shade ot the trees," aud left another bright illustration ol how Christian soldiers of that army were wont to die. CoL Willis l'eu- gram,"lbe boy artillerist," as he of Virginia at tho breaking out of th war as a private soldier, rose to the ot colonel of artillery (ho refused a tender of promotion to tho command of an infantry brigade), upon more ' than one occasion elicited high praise from A. P. Hill, Jackson and Lee,, and at the early age of 22 tell on the ill-fated battle-field of Five Forks, gallantly resisting tho overwhelming odds against him. His last words: "I have done my duly,' and now I turu to my oavior." rOIIUIiiN HOP HEPOIITS. London.
