THE REVELRY OF DEATH. The following poem appeared orig inally in the St. itelena Magazine, and was afterward tibpied Id the Lon don Spectator and other jdUrnals. It will be new to moat readers. It re lates to the early service uf English officers in India, when the army was mowed down bypestilence. When Mr. Macauley'a account of the effects of 8mall-pox in England is remember ed, as it describes the separation of brothers, sisters and lovers, it will be seen that this poem gives with won derful effect what Is far more noble. however painful, the vef v poetry of military despair, but still the dying together bf brothers in arms : Wd-rfleet 'neath thesonndin icr rnffor And Che walls nronnd sm hnv- . As they ahont to onr peals of laughter A. uTCiua vuui. mo ueaa are mere. But stand to your glasses steady. We drink to oar comrades eyes: Quaff a cup to the dead already, And hdrrah for the next that dloa. Hot hero are the goblets glowing ; Not here is the vintage sweet; 'Tls cold, as our hearts are growing, And dark as the doom we meet. But stand to your glasses steady 1 And soon shall your pulses rise, A cup to the dead already I Hurrah! for the next that dies. Not a sigh for the lot that darkles .Not a tear for the friends. that sink; AVe'II fall mldfct the ririe Slip's sparklos.

There's many a hand that's shaking; There's many a cheek that's sunk ; But sodn, thw our hearts are brd.i!clng. They'll burn with the wine we've drunk: So stand to your glasses steady I 'Tls here the revival lies A clip td ths dead already 1 Hurrah ! fdr the next that dlesi There's a mist on the glass congealing, 'Tls tho hurricane's flery breath And thus does the warmth of feellllfe Turn ice in the grasp of dentin Ho! stand to your glasses steadv !

Cut off' from the land that bore us ; Betrayed by the land we find; Where the brightest have gone before ns, And the dullest remain behind. Stand! stand to your glasses, steady!

Kaelaad The ., Voyage KTealiijf with the Potn-It Pails' CUbShL ire Ah Reireif : We left Brdwnvillo oh Wednesday, June 18th, for Omaha, and having conlplBted our arrangements in that cit departed fdr Mount Vernon, Io wh. pretty little town, standing on a rising knoll, and overlooking a love ly landscape. It is the seat of the Cornell College (Methodist Episcopal) which adds to the town a large amount of interest. We have seen no place such attention has been paid to tree planting, and this- is .what lends such a charm ta the etitlnT sur roundings. Never miud, in the counie of a few more Atbor Days our own gloridlis Nebraska will present landscapes, Which, for their wooded character, will vie with any State in the Union, and will be able to show with the best, "Deep waving corn, and pastures green,. With gentle slopes and groves between." On to what must, we think, be em phatically termed the 'Phoenix City.' We knew Chicago prior to its fiery ordeal, and though we could only re; main on this occasion about five hours, still we saw quite enough to convince us that Chicago present far outvies Chicago past. One thing struck us as somewhat curious, viz: the large number of offices to let. Business, after the fire, went largely to the west side, but in the course bf time it will, no doubt, return to its ancient channel. We felt unable tti look upon the gigantic display bf pluck, energy, and determination without a thrill of pride for tile glo rious country where citizens have shown the whole earth such a speci men of "get up" as the world has never seen. On to the falls. Who has not visits ell them in imagination, and who would not visit them in reality? On quitting Chicago the superior build of railroad had become palpably evident. As regards their locomotives( they certainly do let them "slide,'1 The arrangements for crossing at Detroit river are grand. We "laid over" at the falls. The first thing that struck us was tho brilliant green of the wa ter, rivalling even tho cSq1.- By the way, the poets all liiiikb oiit the sea to be-biue. m. 0'r the glad-Waters of the deep blue sea." MafewArdfltw'.-xwk wrr ?A'nd so oujaar.lih.JFl&Sunt Ax- the rocean is blue in deep water and green in shallow ; this is the only explana tion of the phenomenon we ever met with and no doubt the true one. ZiMi$' persons pass tho reul beauties of Niagara owing to the haste with which they scamper 'round in carria ges. We-have heard persons declare, in the course of our travels, that they were disappointed with tho Falls, but this feeling we are utterly unable to understand. No doubt at anySgiven point it Intensities itself the more you gaze, but the first burst wart to us ab solutely grand, majestic and awe in spiring. It was a glorfotla day find we leisurely, in company with a gen tlerriuh from the Emerald Isle, with whom tre exchanged card3, visited eveVy conceivable point of interest, Goatislglid, the Sister Islands, the Tower, the view of Itltf GVertt Rapids, hi short wliefeVer we stood ahd gafed we could ouly wonder ami admire. We were fortunate enough to see a beautiful rainbow. As we turned our back on this, one of earth's fairest sCe'rieg, the sun was sinking low and a genuine American sunset bathed everything in a flood of crimson. It was un.HurpassabJy grand and we could not help silently offering up a prayer to Hira whose shield litis guarded ns in all our wandering way. W w"ere led involuntarily to excluim: If the ocean be as nought in the hollow of thy hand. And the stars of the firmament, In thy bal ance grains of sand; If Niagara's rolling flood seems great to us . who lowly- hoTf . . . O.dfefttCfe'atotoftnc wnofe, fco'w' passftig great art? thou. On to Albany, where we slept, and the following day descended the Hud son thlhighlands of America. The Hudsoiir boatB are very fast, often making iB' ond 20 miles per hour. They Almost vie wth those ofl the Clyde, but then it must be borne in mind the latter are one-half inch steel or nearly so, and can make 22 miles. They would not suit Ameri can rivers.. On passing the Catskills we thought- of Bip VttnWinkle and his dog, Ob ! that dog I The whole trip is very fine. There is one point on the Clyde with which, however, the Hudson cannot compare; we mean the flretJSffnSpse you catch of Dumbarton Castle, with its back ground of Ben Lomond. Tffc High lands orr the Hudson nothing can do justice to; The ieftillty of the banks, the sha'dawy woods half mirrcrretl fn the rlTer, together with the dreamy and unchanging chorus of the waters, make a picture of beauty for wfrich it would bs difficult to find an equal. And so wegHde into New York City, which it is irrVliecessary to describe. After a few days of attention to bu siness, end preparation" for iffe o age, we g: 07i Board the "Europa," Anchor liine, with 83 cabin passen gers.

The battery frowns on us ; we reach Sandy Hook, aftd steam out ontd the bosom of the ocean. A light b Feeze is up, and then for the passengers comes the trial of war. Most were in thEt itf teresting condition described sb accu rately and so comically by a sufferer, "At first I was afraid I should die, and then I was afraid I shouldn't." Oh! the horrors of sea-sickness, when" the stomach turns from the most del icately flavored dish, aud like a dis appointed lover you would feel thank ful if some one would take you up and drop you into the grve. Who ever wants to see poor humanity in its utter helplessness Iqt him make a haea voyage. We ouroelves,fbrmed no exceptibn, but on thb flftb day we fairly got Mir "sea legg," and quite enjoygti ll. There were services on board, several capital concerts, and a reading from the Poets was given by a passenger to whom modesty forbids any further reference. The weather was unusually cool for .duly, and overcoats wore in fair de mand ; clouded up all the way but no rain fell. Porpoisea gairibdle'd for tJ9 a gbbd deal, and seVehil timed a HidH ste'r bf tho biibbiing deep rose to blow, affording occular demonstration that till the blowers are not in Brown vllle.

"You've got oil the Jews over with you," said a gentlem ,a from one 0 the otber hotels to-me, lawjeven inr: "thev shut dowei on Uixnt snr xToar h(W3e; wwC't24 tev' ?to."r1 like that, prjcrllonlijftairki-sils is giod.

For it shows that their educations are not finished; each has something in life to look forward to. If they live long enough they will come to the con clusion arrived al by the great Frenoh traveler, who declared" that nfter vislt iug every part df tUti K flown world hif had madfe tip his mind that it was inhabited only by aien and women. But religious proscription is especial ly pleasing to the naked eye. So far as business dealing is concerned, an officer of one of your most promin ent banks, to whom I repeated theob-f servatinn, remarked that of all the men who had dcrtlirtgs wlb his oaiYk, Hd fduhd the Jews Crre" mnst; hottest, the most faithful in the performance of the very spirit of their contracts, the most trustworthy fn all nloney transactions. And is it not- to? Aiming the paupers who fill our htrt-ets and our asylums, our hospitals and our j'ib, do you find a Jew? They feed their ovru pu(r mid they take Cure of their own sick. Like the best nrfJduru eugines, ihey consume their own smoke and rubbish. But," aside from these material facts, there is a poetry and a grand ness about the Jewish character" Which has always moved me to reverence. A nation without a country, a people without a home, flowing through and penetra ting all uations, yet not commingling with a single one, preserving all their individualities, their religion, their language, their customs, intact; tho sflfbe now as when, led by the cloud by day and the pillar of lire at night, they went dry shod through the clo ven sea aud encamped in the wilder ness beneath the same stars which now stud the heavens. Show me a people like this in all history ; a peo ple around whom uli tho grand poet ry of the Bible clusters ; a people rich Iff tradition beyottd ell precedent, who have yet preserved the minutest of those traditions while dynasty af ter dynasty has crumbled around them, and nation after nation has fa ded frpm ofl the face of the earth ; a people who have clung to the faith of their fathers, to the one God whom their fathers worshipped, asking no change and seeking no change, while creed after cread has had its day, and decay and incessant wars over doc trinal points have desolated empires. My sympathies in the play, let me confess, have always been whh Shy lock. Houseless and homeless, spoil ed of his wealth and robbed of his daughter, he la driven out in hf3 old age to childless penury and for what? Insulted and spat upon-, his religion reviled and his house dishonored, he took no revenge in cowardly nrurder, after tho Christian pnttem ; besought but the fulfillment of a contract, the terms of which he bud compiled with and would have compiler! witEP, prob ably, had positions been reversed. Would not Shylook, think you; have I bared his breast to the knife in fuifill- rrfent of his bond without the spirit less fuss that Antonio made about it?

The front train hdd Btbpped at the depot and signal ed thb tear One to stop, but on she canib, full tilt; all the -shaking of jamps, yelling find swearing of those in front had no effect whatever.

The engineer, foreseeiug &' bollisiou inevitable, suddenly started up tb pull out of the way, but bis haste proved most destructive the jerk broke the train In two, leaving about fifteen cars standing on the truck.

Ventriloquism is a very beautiful science when it is practiced with dis cretion. But Brown's boy admires it with less enthusiasm than: ho orreir did. Brown's boy learned the art; by wutching Biitz. And the othai1 tidy the was entertaining his little bother by holding au imaginary conversation with a mysterious person who was supposed to be in o Saratoga trunk. When Brown's boy would lift the lid. the voice would grow loud, wheu he closed the lid the tones would die away. At the close of the perform ance lirown's boy placed hislinsverv close to the trunk for tho purpose of proauemg a nnai eiiect, wheu the lid slipped and caught his hose. It was a apriiig ftck, and Itsnapped and held the ventriloquist firmly Then Brown's boy, in anguish, got his lit tle brother to help him hold up the trunk, and he lifted aH he conld with his hose, and" the procession wbtfnc? its way down stairs in search of Mrs Brown and the key. After ascertain ing with a slipper the toughness of tire seams in the last patch on young him, and he vehl to bed, melancholy and with a nose squeezed as thin as a table knife. He will not probably practice ventriloquism as a profession. II 1 a Color-SB vErtDictf. In one of tho towns of Mississippi two colored meu 'were arrested on tho charge of burglary. The jury before Whom they wers tried were all color ed. After tho case was tried they re tired and made up a verdict, which which wad announced to the court.

"Which-one do you- find guilty?" asked the Judge. "Dut's de question, boss," ret'oTnatV the foreman ; "dat's just what we can not find out, and we recommends dat de honorable cort jest have anuder trial and find out which one oh derm two niggers steal datf bacon'.""
