"Oh, how I Wieb I wore a man Î
What woBclrmiK thing« I'd do!
I'd writ« such books that all tba world
Wouid read them through and through.''
The tir» flashed from hi* »yes, a» If
He thought it hard to wait;
HI» mother whispered, "First b*i good.
Than, if you will be great."
The boy «prang from his tnothar'S side
With footstep Ugbt and gar ;
But dreams of fame warn with him itill
Amid til) fhUdish play.
Yearn panned away, and ho bad grown
At length t« man'» «statt :
Ala« ! h» cared not to be geod.
But only to be great.
He wrote ; men read ; the world around
Wu ringing with hl» name ;
Hi« early dream# had never reached
To such a height of fame.
Yet would he ulgb a* if witbin
III« heart felt desolate,
And If It Wer« a weary thing
To walk amongst the great.
"Ye humble one«," he cried, who tread
The path of duty well,
The peSr .a of mind I nay not find
Stoops down with you to dwell,
f would that I had lived like you,
Content in low »«tat«, ..
Oh, could I have my life »gain,
1 Would be good, not great."
T reatment or P risoners —The
Richmond Whig of tho 67th of
.Inno, publishes the report of the
joint select comrnittce of the Con
federate Congress, upon the treat*
ment of prisoners.
This report complains that the
pnblication of the Sanitary Com
mittee, with it« photographs, is
"sensational" und false, inanmuch
as it takes special cases of the very
sick, exchanged as stich, and would
convey the impression that cases
of sickness would not, in all times
and in all conditions, furnish pre
cisely such picture«.
ft also asserts that the Confeder
ate prisoners exchanged for those
gHstly objects presented the shapes
of misery.
It asserts that the treatment of
prisoners was intended to be hu
mane, that they fared, in many
cases, better than the Confederate
soldiers.
We know that during the Revo
lutionary war, Americans, aB pris
oners, wore very badly treated ; we
know that the English generals in»
dignantly denied any intentional in
humanity.
We give, with pleasure, the as
sertions of thu South. There is an
easy way of settling the questimi
of good or til treatment on both
sides. The average of deaths of
well men will settle the question.—
Every other view must be partial
and one-sided.
The greatest crime of the war
was the refusal to exchange. His
tory will put that where it belongs.
Gen. Butler, in his speech at Low
ell, disclosed the fact.
L ove or iiomk .—ft is only shallow
minded pretenders who either make
distinguished origin or personal merit
a personal matter to boast of. A man
who is not ashamed of himself need
not lie ashamed of his early condition.
It did not happen to me to be born in
a log cabin, but my elder brothers and
sisters were born in a log cabin, raised
among the snow-drifts of New Hamp
shire, at a period so early that, when
the smoke first tose from its rude
chimney, and curled over tho frozen
hill, there was no similar white man's
habitation betweon it and the settle
ments on the rivers of Canada. Its
remains still exist ; I make it an annual
visit. I carry my children to it to
teach them the hardships endured by
the generations gone before them.
1 love to dwell on the tender reooilec
tlons, the kindred ties, the early affec
tions, and narrations and incidents
which mingle with all 1 know of this
primative family abode.— Daniel

The following order of tbe President of
the United . States in relation to transfer of
abandoned lands , funds and property set
apart for the use of Freedmen , to the
Bureau of Refugees , Freedmen and Aban -
doned Lands , is published for the infor
mation and guidance of all concerned :
E xecutive M ansion, >
Washington , 1>. C\, June 12, 1805. j
Whereat , By an act of Congress , ap -
p roved March 3, 1865, there was estab -
lished in the War Department a Bureau of
Refugees , Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
and to which , in accordance with the said
act of Congress , is committed the super -
vision and management of all abandoned
lands , and the control of all subjects re -
lating to refugees ; and freedmen from re -
bel States , or from any district of country
within the territory embraced in the opér -
ations of the army , under such rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the
head of the bureau and approved by tho
President ; and lehrt eat, it appears that the
management of abandoned lauds , and sub -
jects relating to refugees and freedmen , as
aforesaid , have been , and still are , by or -
ders based on military exigencies , or leg -
islation based on previous statutes , partly
in the hands of military officers disconnec -
ted with said htirean , and partly in charge
of officer * of Hie Treasury Department ; it
is therefore Ordered , That all officers of
the Treasury Department , all military of -
ficers , ami all others in tho service of tho
United States , torn over to the authorized
officers of said bureau all abandoned lands
and proporty contemplated in said act of
Congress , approved March 3, 1865, estab -
lishing tho Bureau of Refugees , Freedmen
und Abandoned Lands , that may now be
under or within thoit control . They will
also turn over lo such offices all funds
collected by tax or otherwise for tbe bene -
fit of refugees or , freedmen , or accruing
from abandoned lands or property set
apart for their use , end will transfer to
them all official records connected with the
administration of affairs which pertain to
said bitroau .

Ilcdemptlon of Mutilated Bank Sot««
The following important circular has
b een issued by the Treasury Department :
T reasury D epartment, \
Office , of the . Comptroller of Currency , v
Washington , D. C. J
The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption of mutilated
circulating notes of national banks , and
their return to this office :
First — Tbo notes aro to be redeemed by
the banks by which they are respectively
issued , and should not be returned to this
offico in sums less than fivo hundred dol -
lars , or in even multiples of that amount .
Second — Mutilated notes which have
bee n torn or defaced will be received , when
presented by tho bank that issued them ,
provided all the fragments aro returned
and tho engraving or signatures are not
so far obliterated that , it cannot be deter -
mined by what bank the notes were issued .
Third — Fragments should be redeemed
by banks iu full when accompauiod by an
affidavit stating tho case and manner of
mutilation , and that the missing part , of
tho note is totally destroyed . Tne good
character of the affiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officcr before whom the
affidavit is taken .
These affidavits must be forwarded to
this offico , with tho fragments to which
thoy relate , in order that the banks pre -
senting such parts of uotea may obtain
credit for the same .
Exceptional cases may occnr in which
no affidavit can be obtained , and where no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
tho entire destruction or irreparable dam -
age to missing portions of notes — as by
fire , acids , etc .— where evidence of identity
is ample by the signature of one or both
officers , or title or locality of the bank ,
and the denomination of the note — where
the integrity of the bill - holder is unexcep -
tionable , and where no question could
arise in regard to a fraudulent or improper
use of missing parts ; in such instances
judicious discrimination must necessarily
be exercised by the officors of the banks .
It is , however , advised that such notes
be received at their full face value , a per -
fect note given therefor , a record being
preserved of the fact , to be sent to this of -
fice with the mutilated note when returned
for redemption by the bank , in which caso
full credit will be allowed in this depart -
ment .
Fourth — When no satisfaction can be
obta ined in regard to tho missing parts ,
and a possibility existe that any improper
use can be made of the same , it is recom -
mended that », proportionate value only be
allowed , estimating this by comparison of
the proportion returned to the missing
parts . A record should be kept of the
amount allowed in all such instances , and
a voucher of the same rendered to this of -
fice , wheu the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption .
