To bear, to nurse, to rear,
To watch, and then to lose ;
To see my bright ones disappear,
Drawn up like morning dews ;
To hear, to nurse, to rear,
To watch, and then to lose ; ,
This have I done when God drew near,
Among his own to choose.
To hear, to heed, to wed,
And with thy lord depart,
In tears that he, as soon as shed,
Will let no longer smart :
To hear, to heed, to wed,—
This while thou didst I smiled ;
For now it was not God who said,
“Mother, give me thy child.”
0 fond ! O fool l and blind !
To God I gave with tears ;
But when a man like grace would find
My soul put by her fears :
O'fond to fool ! and blind !
God guards in happier spheres:
That man will guard where he did bind
Is hoped for unknown years.
To hear, to heed, to wed—‘
Fair 10!. that maidens choose ;
Thy mother’s tenderest words are said,
Thy face no more she views :
Thy mother’s let my dear,
She doth in naught accuse :
Her lot to bear, to nurse, to rear,
To love, and then to lose.

The poets of the past have spoken in ad-
vance of the heroes of to-day. Homer makes
the following allusion to Ulysses S. Grant:
Ye’ Gods ! what wonders has Ulysses
wrought,
What fruits his conduct and his courage
yield,
Great in the council, glorious in the field ! -
Generous he rises in the States defence,
To curb the factions tongue ofinsolence,
Such just examples on ofi'en‘ders‘ shown,
Sedition silence, and assert the throne
Byron clearly spoke of our "cavalry hero
when he said :
Long shall we seek his likeness—long in
vain,
And turn to all of him which may remain,
Signing that nature formed but one such
man,
And broke the die in meaning Streamers.

, ty. Soon after 11 o’clock arm, the fog so
thick as to cut off all sight beyond the ship’s
length, the sailor on lookout gave sudden
alarm of a large iceberg “dead head” and al-
most under the bows of the ship.
The signal whistle of danger was sounded
instantly, while the first officer, who was on
deck, cried in a voice of" thunder, “hardto-
port, hard-a-pert your helm,” but another
ofilcer in the confusion of the moment, who
probably took another view of our danger,
sang out “starboard, hard to starboard.”
Meanwhile theCaptain was signalling the
engineer to “stop her,” “back,” and other
impatient orders, which were skilfully and
rapidly obeyed, before even the passengers
were aware of it, so completely checking our
speed that the striking of the ship against
the mountain of solid ice scarcely scarred
the black paint on the ships port bow, and
Surging round alongside the ponderous and
gigantic mass, it came quite near enough to
the quarter deck to satisfy every beholder
for it could be tenched with a common boats
car. As we opened the distance, and the
danger passed, there was never before such
a shipload of thankful grateful souls as ren-
dered up their praise to Him who had vouch-
safed their great deliverance.
When the iceberg was first discovered we
were on deck and quite near' the forward
smoke stack, and as we were looking for-
ward, saw the approaching danger quite as
soon as the sailors on the “lookout." The
sight was such as to fill our hearts with fear,
and the horror with which we instantly re-
alized our awful situation can neither be im-'
agined nor described. Our complete de—
struction seemed inevithble‘. so near were
we to the iceberg that it appeared the ship
would strike it and sink before the passen-
gers could run aft, which they all commen-
ced to do, being as anxious to getas far from
the Concussion as possible. Not one on
board who saw the danger but fully conclu-
ded we were lost. The day closed without
futrher interest,save the sight of still another
immense iceberg about six miles distant,
sufilclently near to keep every person on
board awake through an extremely rough
fice. Present price of Drafts, per £, $ 7.50.

Smo Domeo Cm, June, 1865.
Another month has passed away, and I
am 'still penned up here within the walls of
this old city. The decree of annexatio'n hav.
ing been annulled by the Spanish Govern-
ment, and the order for the evacuation re-
ceived, it was natural to Suppose that the
' Gapt-General would make all possible haste
toquit theconntry that. had cost Spain so
much blood and treasure to hold four years.
But they cannot be weighed 'or measured by
the standard Of other nations. They are a
nation of ceremonies, and never omit one of
them, no matterwhat the consequences may
be. The great Royal Seal,_represe_nting the
power and dignity, of Her Catholic Majesty,
mast be moved with great pomp and show ;
' ”and to make it more impressive, the 15th of
June was fixed upon for the ridiculous farce.
That beingkept as theanniversary, of Christ’s
ascension, it is one of .thevmost solemn feast
days in Catholic countries. ~ On that day
there was a grand procession in which all
the authorities, ecclesiastical, civil and mili-
taryjoined. It was rather an imposing sight,
and to those who really behave in Iran-sub-
stantiation,it must have been peculiarly inter
eating. The procession was formed in the
great Cathedral, the Capt-General, three
field Marshals and other high Military and
Naval Ofilcers taking the lead, all in full
uniform. Then the clergy in their gay roses;
and in the centre of the group was one hear.
ing a silver box containing the body of Christ,
represented by a wafer. The procession left
the Cathedral at six o’clock in the morning,
passed through some of the principal streets
and back to the Cathedral. Everyone in
the procession was bareheaded, and in sev-
eral places where altars had been erected in
the street, they stopped and knelt while the
clergy said prayers. It was a strange sight,
several thousand persons, men, women and
children kneeling in the streets and upon
the sidewalks. Salutes were fired from the
fortifications and from a park of artillery
near the cathedral asthe procession left; and
again on its return. This sublime farce
ended, the next in order was the removal of
the Royal Seal. A procession was formed
in front of the Royal Audience, or Supreme
Court house. The chief Military and Naval
Supreme Court and clergy, all in their black
robes; and after them the Capt. General and
his carriage, be riding backwards upon the
front seat, and one of the meniaLofilcers of
the Supreme 'court riding upon the back
seat with the Royal Seal upon a velvet cush-
ion upon his knees. The military, with two
bands of music followed the carriage. A
royal salute was fired as the procession mov-
ed. On arriving at the bank of the river,
the Capt-General and some of the principal
officers and judges embarked with it in the
boat‘s‘ prepared for the occasion, and to‘Ok’ it
on board of a Man-of-War steamer, where
it was received with another royal salute.
And thus ended the ridiculous farce. The
great display in removing the Seal, appeared
the more ridiculous considering the fact that
their retirement from the country was not
their voluntary act.
Upon receiving the Royal order for the
evacuation of the country, the Capt-Gen.
requested the Dominican Government to
appoint commissioners to arrange terms of
separation, which they did; and the Capt.
Gen. appointed others to meet them. ' After
five or six days Conference a treaty was made
and signed, in which it was required that the
Dominican Government was to pay Spain
all the expenses of the war, and all the im-
provements and material used here; and
bound herself not to dispose of , the country,
or any part of it without the consent of Spain.
If Ihad not seen a copy of the treaty, I
could not'have believed such preposterous
terms 'had' been exacted. The Dominican
Government returned it immediately with-
out ratification and recalled their commis-
sioners. I understand they notified the Capt.
Gen. that they will not make any treaty of
indemnification for expenses of the war, or
the so-called improvements; or be restricted
in any way in regard to the disposal of the
country ; but are ready to appoint other
commissioners to treat upon other matters.
As the order of evacuation leaves but little
discretion with the Capt-General, I presume
atreaty will be agreed upon, leaving out the
objectionable articles; perhaps leaving the
idemnification clause to some third party
for arbitration. In the meantime the work
of evacuation goes on. This is the only
place the Spaniards now hold on this side of
the Island ; and by a steamer arrived today
from Monte Christi, it is reported they were
about blowing up the fortifications they have
erected there, and evacuate. Several large
cargoes of material have been shipped from
here, and they are still shipping. I think
the Capt-General is exceeding his authority
and his instructions from his Government,
in the destruction of fortifications and other
property; and also in removing the cannon
found here, even though they have the
Spanish coat-of-arms upon them. The act
of the Spanish Government for the with-
drawal from the Island reads thus : “ The
decree of the 19th of May 1861, incorpora-
ting the Dominican Republic into the Mo-
narcbial Territory, is hereby annulled.” An-
nulling the decree of annexation is a conic!-
siou of judgment, and a bar to all claims
arising from the act of annexation, in my
view of the case ; and if they had any regard.
for the opinion of other nations, they would
hurry off and leave everything intact.
Up totbe 30th of April the expenses of
the occupation were $38,800,000; and 12,-
000 men died chiefly from exposure and ef-
fects of the climate. It has been a costly
experiment, and if there was any hope for
the redemption of Spain, we might expect
her to profit by it. There is an influential
palitlcal party in Spain, called Progresista’s
(Progressive’s) and there have been periods
within the last twenty-five years when they
named to make'smne progress, but it was all
superficial; for they have never made any
attempt to remove thg cause of her dechpe
—-Papal supremacy and intolerance in relig-
ion. They are the chief causes of the cor-
ruptions and abominations in her govern-
ment and people, which are so much more
prevalent there than in any other country
professing Christianity. The facility of ob-
taining absolution with money, even after
death, is a tendency to crime. There was
no opposition made to the Spanish Govern-
ment here, until after the arrival of aIJesu-
itical Archbishop, who closed the Protestant
church and the protestant burying ground ;
and commanded . the Free Masons, 'who
are very numerous, to deliver up all their
badges, and forbidding them to meet. Al-
though they had been guaranteed all the
privileges they had enjoyed under the Re-
public, the Capt.-Gene1al said he 'could not
interfere against the ecclesiastical authorities.
The insurrection broke out immediately af-
ter, and all the consequences that have 'fol-
lowed may be charged directly to Pappal
supremacy.
The Government having graciously allow-
ed people to go out of the city, but. not to re-
turn, I am going down to Azua by land.
partly to be where I can communicate, with
the Dominican Government, but chiefiy'to
be where I can live more comfortable. Pay-
ing 84 a day for bread and meat, without
any vegetables, except occasionally Ameri-
can potatoes, is neither wholesome nor
agreeable. Some idea may be formed of the
vegetable market here, by a sale of 270 bar-
rels of American Potatoes at $12.50 gold, at
wholesale. They are retailed at 20 cents a
pound. I have not tasted of milk in the
two months that I have been here.
I hope I may be able to give your readers
something more agreeable in my next.

, now to'Tame as Husband.
“ I never undertook but once,” said Tom,
“ toset at naught the authority of my wife.
You know her way—cool, quiet, but deter-
mined as ever grew. Just after we were
married, and all was nice and cozy, she got
into the habit of doing all the churning.—
She finished breakfast rather before me one
,morning, and slipping away from the table,
she filled the churn with cream, and set it
down where I couldn’t help seeing what was-
wanted. So I took hold readily enough, and
churned till the butter came. She didn’t
thank me, but looked so nice and sweet:
about it that I felt well paid. Well, when
the next churning came along, she did the
same thing, and I followed suit and fetched;
the butter. Again and again I did the same
thing, and I was regularly set for it every
time; not a word said, you know, of course.
Well by-and-by, this began to grow rather
irksome; I wanted her to just ask me, but
she never did‘, and I wouldn’t say anything
to save my life. So on we went. At last I
made a resolve that I would not churn an-
other time unless she asked me. Churning
day came, and when my breakfast—she. al=
ways got nice breakfasts—when that was
swallowed, there stood the churn. I got up,
and-standing a few minutes, just to give her
a chance, I put on my hat and walked out of
doors. I stopped in the yard to give her
time to call me, but nevera word said she,
and so, with a palpitating heart, I moved on.
I went down town, and my foot was as rest-
less as Noah’s dove. I felt as if I had done
smug; I'did not feel exactly how, but
there was an indescribable sensation of guilt
resting on me. It seemed as if dinner-time
would never come, and as for going home
one minute before dinner, I Would as soon
have cut my cars off. So I went fretting and
moping about till dinner-hour came. Home
I went, feeling very much as a criminal must
when the jury is out having in their hands
his destiny—life or death. I couldn’t make
up my mind how she would meet me, but I
expected some kind of a storm. Will you
believe me—she even greeted me with a
smile—never had a better dinner than on
that day; but there stood the churn just-
where I had left it. Not a Word was said.
I felt confoundedly cut, and every mouthful
of that dinner felt asif it would choke me.
She didn’t pay any regard to it, however,
but went on just the same as if nothing had
happened. Before dinner was over I had
again resolved, and marched to the churn,
and went at it in the old way. Splash, dip,
rattle—I kept it up. As if in spite, the but-
ter never seemed so long in coming; I sup-
posed the cream standing so long had got
warm, and so I redoubled my efi'orts. Ob-
stinate matter, the afternoon were off while
I was churning. I paused at last from real
exhaustion, when she spoke for the first
time." “Come Tom, my dear, you have
rattled that butter-milk long enough. Is it
for fun you are doing it ‘9” I knew how it
was in a flash. She had brought the butter
in the forcnocn, and had left the butter-milk
in for me to exercise with l I never set up
for myself in household matters after that
memorable day.

. Sweet Sixteen.
What a’difierent thing sweet sixteen used
to be, if novelists are to be believed, from
what it is to-day. Then it was urtless and
unsophisticated, blushed when spoken to,
said “yes sir,” and “no ma’am,” and was al-
ways introduced to the reader in white robes
and flowing tresses, unconscious of its .own
loveliness and of the admiration it awakeug.
Perhaps the picture was a true one, but
what would it be if drawn to-day? Somebody,
you can’t call it a young woman, for it is not
womanly, norayoung lady, for it it is not
lady-like. Girl seems so simply innocent,
and the Bowery term “gal,” the best if one
only dared use it.
Somebody, with its hair scraped back and
several pounds of llairdressePs ringlets pin-
ned on by way of ornament ;with powder on
its cheeks; with a jockey hat and feather,
and garments suitable for the carriage cos-
tume of an English woman of rank trailing
behind it over the muddy streets; with
checks guiltless of any natural blush, and
eyes that meet those of strangers all too bold-
ly; with queer habits of giggling and whis-
pering, and forming chance acquaintances
in omnibuses; of knowing the gentlemen
who pass the house to bow to; of seeing fun
in pranks which would have doomed our
grandmothers to solitary confinement in
their own rooms, a convent or an insane asy-
lumu. With a fixed idea that Pa is the per-
son to provide the wherewithal for his
daughter's extravagance, and that Ma's place
is in the basement, especially when beaux
call, and that sweet sixteen itself has no duty
to either parent to perform, and fulfills its
mission if it looks pretty, dresses well, and
finally marries—no matter whom, so that he
has moustaches and plenty of money. So
much for the real, now for the ideal which
the novelist of ’65 entertains of sweet sixteen.
It has passed through the most mysterious,
adventures, been betrothed for several years.
It possesses some secret power of fascination
which no man can resist. It is capable of
poisoning its great aunt, and of stealing its
grandfather’s will. It can disguise itself in
male attire, and penetrating the'dwelling of
its worst enemy,'fathom' his seerets and cir-
cumvent him. It must be, you fancy, at
least thirty odd, and very held and brazen,
even for that age, but yea are told it is but
sixteen, and the lovliest of its sex. 4
Between the ’realspecimena'whiehtresem-
ble boys in ZorinOIine, ornamentation,
which are Lucretia Borgiasunder age, you
become perplexed on the subjCCtofsixuen,
and wonder woefully where the '“sweet’l
comes in, iutbis degenerated generation.

BUSINESS Rani—An Eastern paper gives
the following seasonable and-excellent rules
for young men commencing businem: .1
The world estimates men by their success
in life, and, by general consent, success is
evidence of superiority. ' ' 7
Never under any circumstances aniline;
responsibility you 'can avoid consistently with
your duty to yourself and others.
Base all your actions upon- a principle: of
right; preserve your integrity of‘charaotcr' ,
and in doing thisnever-reckon on tha'cost.
Remember that self-interest‘ia more likely
to warp your judgement than all other cir-
cumstances combined; therefore look well
to your duty when your interest is con-
corned.
Never make money at the expense of-your
reputation. ~
Be neither lavish nor niggardly ; of the
two avoid the latter. A mean man is unl-
versally despised, but public favor is a step-
ping stone to preferment; therefore, gener-
ous feelings should be cultivated.
Say but little—think much and do more.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a
balance in your pocket. Ready money is a
friend in need.
Keep clear of the law; for even if you
gain your case you are generally a loser.
Avoid borrowing and lending.
Wine drinking and smoking assets are
bad habits ; they impair the mind and pack-
et, and lead to a waste of time.
Never relate your misfortune, and never
grieve over what you cannot prevent
.-.>.
W In a recent speech, Senator John
Sherman, of Ohio, made this satement : “ A
friend of mine, whose daughter a now at
Rome, received a letter from her, written
while Gen. Sherman was visiting North Car-
olina. She wrote: ‘Ob father, boyfriend-
note you are; you know where Sherman has
gone, but we are in deep distress. for our
next door neighbor, Gen. McClellan, ’ is
creaking. and saying that Sherman and his -
army can never march through that country,
and will be destroyed as the Roman legions
were destroyed under V-=rus.”’
