Mus. E. A. Wright. Talleyrand's Review of Lire. . Tho celebrated Prince Talleyrand was - 'one of the most influential and wealty men iu France, and one f the most ingenious and powerful minds of that age. Educated as a priest, he bocaute Bishop of Autan, but having more fondass for politics than for the duties of the sacred proissioB, he ' renounced the pulpit, plunging into the busy whirl of publie afluirs, and soon became the master-spirit of the brilliant Court of Franca. Next to that of tho Emperor, ' the name of Talleyrand was perhaps the uust distinguished of thoso eventful times. But with all his wealth and power, Tal . leyrund had not the secret of true happiness. Our honored friend, S. V. S.

From ;he Nw York Obirw. One afternoon, among the"oontrabands" brought into Eastprrf, on the Tenn'ossce river, was a tnan whom I judged to be about forty-five years old, aud who, afer the wagons were unloaded, silenced tho whole Latch of black jubbrersby announce ing "I'c cullcred folks fand white cemmen. if daise a-miud-to) mus 'member dat dc glory must be gibhen to Gor-a-niigbty; for dis sponsible' casibn! Old Jaok will call your 'feotinnata minds to do right spot whence all do blessuis now, dis berry afternoon jest, 'bout sundown, fnrwetemotc to da happy land of Canaan!" That was a notice of preaching, and I promised myself to bo there, for I was one of the "white gtmtnnC who was"a-mmr-to." m ' The introduction of religious exercises was by singing. Some one of the crowd, with a clear sweet Voice, led oIT, with, ' Coma don fount ob obnrj bresaln, Tuuomy heart to liog ij oniae." Soon the dear old familiar tune and its hallowed associations touched tho heart, aud tl en the word", "Toaoh ma aoma melodious tonnet Sang by uami g tonguei abova," were carried by a volume of melody on the night air, with too much soul and fervor to allow a thought about negro pro-. nuioatiou. At the elose of the hymn, Ole Jack moved to a slight rise of tho ground from which he could be seen by thoso around, and commenced his sermon. His text was, 'Whar de chillum oflznulwas trvin to lcah de Ian of Kgyp, when de hole lan was dark, so dark dut you, could take hold ob it, and feel urn, like de black clof on de coffin, but (la chillum of Izzul had light in dar dictllia." The whole ecrmou was delivered, not ia the oratorical style ot his people, but in a genial, kindly, way he tailed," as though "he opened his mouth ' aud taught them, siynig. "In do.fu9fla'oe,?".thd negroes, slaves, were like the children of Israel in .Egypt under hard taskmasters. . Iosos,w's tjtcir deliverer. Abraham Liucolu ;he deliverer of the slaves.' Naminu' the plagues in Ihoir order, as recorded, he with much ingenuity found' a counterpart in some woo that had fallon upon this country, or that le had heard had afflicted tho people from time to time. "And now," said he oining two of the plagues, "dere is just u4on dis berry time, de dear dead body ob do fuss-born (or wusser j ot), ob de fader an husban, cold and bloody if ebory house i.i do lun; and all is dark in de hole 'JSitcd States, so dat nobody can see dejut a'gn of a track in the tcoods. Nobody can tell who ho ruu against, it is so dark; or how to git back ho ne again, it is so dark; he can do noflin but stand still, and feel it, but de chillum, of Izzd had light in de dicell'ut. Ebery rullerod man, eberv slave got his eye on de light, it talks to him, it aing to him, it do his work for him, it play wid tho chillen. De slave got de light in de 'quarters.' While he look at it, he know it neber will go out. No, ncber ! tank ye Lord!, and it warm him, it feed him, it tell him, 'Nebbcr mind do dark long night, I'st gwi'ne to last till mornin." Another illustration was this. "You white gemmcn. don't know what is make da nigger happy to-night. We'se all on tho same spot; de same ground under de foot; do samo moon ober dd head; de same ribbcr running by; but it am no more to you den any odder ribber dat bring you, and swim the steamboats wid de loads of more ao'jers and plenty to eat; it am only do nice ribbcr, and it look nice., to-night, f you link ob if, an to-night is uuffin to you but a berry nice night, like lat night, to-morrow night hut to me, and dese ere cullered pe'ple it mean more den eber you have speriencc.

From th a, Richmond Exaniinar Leap year brings around again io the Uuited States the turmoil and excitement of a Presidential election. Events nf fear ful weight and importance have passed iu the interval which has olapsed since We of the South descended into that arena and took part in the struggle, They have made a a hideous nnd bloody gulf, "which blocks up all return to the feelings and interests which swayed Us then, Yet as it bears upon the prospects and vicissitudes of this ruthless war, we must look with watchfulness and curiosity upon the recur rence of that periodical struggle for place and power. Although it is difficult to penetrate the dark curtain of the future, and describe exactly how our own welfare Eay be effected by the policical complexion of the Uaited States, yet it is evident thtt the whole solution of the mighty question which ogita'es the continent may hang upon it, and scarcely possible that it would not be the essentially concerned by it. Lincoln's term draws rapidly to a close. Already it is counted by mouths instead of years. The political cauldron is begin uing to bubble, and expectation is aroused to see what form will emerge from its agitated depths. Caucuses, conventions, resolutions, platforms, and all that paraphernalia which is adriotly managed to form guide popular will, and which, in represen tative governments, takes the place of courtly pomp, rare shows and military dis plap iu monarchical countries, are in full vogue, The Democrats present resolution of patriotic adherence to the constitution, and, imitating the Black Republicans in their fondness for anniversaries, for their National Convention, for the Fourth of July. Chicago is the place, perhaps, under the idea that it is lucky. McClcllan at one time seemed to have a chance, but the Yankees,, though easily satisfied in the article of a hero, had (lis- cernment enough to see that ho was not the genuino article In vain docs he write a long report of his campaign, and assert that h'o wasi victoriousin every battle befor Richmond but one." " Xlis countrymen are too utilitarian tonpprcciate triumphs which have tiie singular result of placing the object of tho battle entirely out of the'vic- tor's reach. Had Harrison's Bur been the Confederate capital, instead of Rich in on d, he might have had a better chuncc. Grant, with tho glory of Vk'kburg en circling his brow, lias certainly eclipsed all the military leaders. The New York Herald, once a zealous partizan of McClcl lan, is now euthusiastio for Grant. It pioclaiuis bim continually as the man who has so long been coining; who completely to crush the rebellion, aud to restore, in nil its splendor, the ' glorious Union." His chance is, at present, apparently an Axcollcnt one, as the army will, probably, give a powerful vote for him, aud his mil itary fame wiH give him great strength in the country at large. It hie reputation is carefully nursed, it may be potent enough to secure him success; but if he tries the hold strategy which succeeded with Pcm-berton, npon Lee, or Johnson, it will hard ely last until November. His political opin ions have not yet been defined. They ar. probably not very well known to himself, and will bo vei-cd in "glittering generalities" until after tho election. - Lincoln is by no means disposed to give place to any other candidate. At one time it might have been supposed that he would dispense entirely with the formality of an election, and retain his seat on tho pertex1 of the necessity of so doing until the termination of'the war.. To do this would require the cordial support of the army, and the soldiers will naturally be disposed to resist the exclusion ot their own favorite chief. The United States have reached that stage in the progress of war when mil itary talent asserts its supremacy over all others. The favorite of the army is, there fore; Lincoln's probable successor. In his own Cabinet, too, there are rival claims to his own. 1 he subtle intriguer, Seward, seems to lave had his day Though a powerful agent in exoiting the war, his is rut the temperament fitted to "ride out the whirlwind and direct ' the storm." Chase is the most powerful of the civilians and he is the favorite of Greely and the radicals. Official influence and corruption will, of course, be brought to bear in favor of the different politicians, yot military popularity is iiiteiy io .overrule mem ail It is hard to forecast the effect of . this election upon the progress of the war. , It ia safe to infer, ho Wever that ' any change will be beneficial to the South'.""' Lincoln nd his party are eo irrevocably committed to, and indissolubly jinked with, ! the con Xinuaiiae of the war, that we can'' hope for ao peaca from them save by utter exhaus tion of the weans of prosecuting it. If they are drivea from f ower, they will bo- eorue embittered .opponents .of their suc cessor;, even should they ador. t Uio warlike policy, and will prove a formidable obstacle to iU successful maintainance. Although a military ' President might be supposed to be naturally warlike, it bi no meuns follows. Unwilling to imperil his reputation, and, like most soldiers more sensible to the evils of war than bloodthirsty politicians, a General in power would probably seek an accommodation. At all events, the elevation of a new oiau would remove the bedley of fanatics rogues who now close every outlet fram the present calamitous wars. If not immediately operative, it would, at all events, give some ground for the hope that both tho Con federacy and the UnitedStates ,asWcll as humanity in general, might be relieved from the misfortunes which the most shame less and obstina'e wickedness persist in heaping upon them. Love and Marriage. It is Unwise to hope for doiucstio happi ness in tho possession ot a single trait of character; it is better to look for a combi nation, and they are to be most congratu lated who ean discern and woo and win the possessor ef the largest number of good points, iurst ot all the man whom you ove, the woman whom yon adore, should possess a high sense of right and wrong; next bodily health, and thirdly, moral bra very, a courage to be industrious, econo' mical and self-denying. With these three traits, principle, health, and a soul that "an do and dare all that one ought to,dimes tic felicity will abide. None ought to marry who cannot commaud the means of enabling them to live in comfort according to their Btation in life, without grinding economies. It is useless to talk about love in a cot tage. 1 be little rascal will always run away when there is no bread and batteron the tttblo. There is more love in a full flour barrel than in all tho roses and posies and woodbines that ever grew. No mechanic jshould marryjintil he is master of his trade; Aor professional man, until his income ia adequate ,to the style , of life which ho deterinincs upon; nor the' merchant,' until his cioar and annual gains are equal to his domestic expenditures, ' uales ! indeed, there arein either case, independent and uncui.Jitional sources of income-No man, has a right to marry who has te work like a horse from morning till night to supply family necessaries, whether it be by brain or body; for if the body isthuK made a drudge of, it perpetuates impaired power to the ruce; while if the brain is ovjkrwrought, its effects will be seen in chrildren of feeble intollect, if indeed they they are. not derututed To calculate thoreforo on a reasonable share of domestic enjoyment, the parties most interested should aim to find in each other as great an amount as may be of high moral priu eiple, or bodily health, and either the actual possession of a suitablo maintainance or an individual ability to secure it without peradventure. Jlall'i Journal of Ilcalth Modern Expressions. Some people aever begin, but always commeces, 'They don't live but reside.' 'They do'i't go to bed, but' misteriously retire.' They don't give, but 'donate-' They don't eat or drink, but 'partake of refreshments.' They are never sick, but are often 'extremely indisposed,and instead of dying at last, they 'deeease.'

The Silver Thimble and Gold King. "If you could have but one, which would you choose for a New Year's present?" as aunt Raines ef her two little nieces Emma and Jane "which, I say, a gold ring, or a silver thimble?'' "Gold rinsr, gold ring!" cried . Emma. "But wo'va lost our thimbles, Emma,'' said Jane. Aunt Ranes knew that. "Which?' ' she asked again. "Think before yon speak." "I think,", cried Emma, "Gold ring." Jane thought; then she said, "Silver thimble." The little girls wenj home. They told their mother.. "Did not I choose beat 1" asked Jane. "Did not 1 choose best?" asked Emma. Mother said Time would decided The little girls did not like to .leave it to Time, it took him so long. ' ' '' New, Year's came. Emma ; and Jane put on their little red cloak ana iiood?, and ran to wish aunt Raines a happy New Ycar She was very glad to seo them and put u small box into each hand. Emma opened hers It contained a gold ring. Jane opened hers. It held a silver thim ble. "Thank ynu, thank you, dear, good aunt Raines," they both said. Emma pulled off her mitten and put on her ring. Mine is for. beauty," she. said. Jane looked at her thimble. She felt almost sorry. "itine is lor use, sho said, "use before ornament," said aunt Raines; but the little girls did not mind that. One duy uncle Jerry brought six tow els to hem for his office; "and, little girls," he said; "I want them done to-day." "Oh yes, uticle Jerry, ' they both answerod cheerfully. Jane and Emmn sat down to sew. Emma had not taken many stitches borore she began to sigh, "Oh, it hurts so; I wish I had a thimble. Oh, Oh 1" She made long stops; she got cross; she tried mother's thimble, but it was a world too big. She at last began to cry, and that was the end of bcr hemming for uncle Jerry. ' Jane sewed all aix, and uncle Jerry gave her twenty-five cents for it "Silver thimble, you got me this," thought the littlo girl as she slipped part of it into t.cr "Missionary mug," a little blue mug where she kept her giving away money. Who sat by her mother's side and learned to darn? Little Jane. Who turned sheet? Little June. They went to spend a day with great- aunt Raines. She was hurrying to finish a gown for a poor woman. "Now help me, little dears," she said, giving to each a icedlft. Pretty soon Emma lagged. Pretty soon she began to rr.ake excuses. "Her finger was lame," she said. ''Ah, that poor finger with nothing to wear," .aid aunt Buines kindly. Emma turned red. She felt mortified. She looked at her ring, and wished it would turn into a thousand thimbles, especially when she heard good aunt Raines thank Jane for her strong stitches. One spring day seven little girls went Maying. In the midst of all their enjoy. ment, what should Winny Davis do but tumble, over a stone wall into a bramble bush, and tear her dress.' It was a pretty bad tear too. To think of going homo through the streets looking so I "Don't cry, Winny," said Jane, putting her hand in her pocket. Out came her thimble and a little housewife;", and Jane sewed up the ugly rent. "Youarcsogood, Jane.' 'You are ao handy, Jate," cried the rest of the company, making much of her.- Jane begged her silver thimble io her pocket, and thought, "How sweet to be useful." . ; In the i temples, oracular revelations wore received ia sleep.
