REWARD. lion. Jainea Ions Xarrmte an Im portant Private Interview with (be French Minister. Letter by the Hon James Lyons, of Rich mond, to Col. Mag-ruder, of Baltimore. I will relate a conversation I had at my house. Laburnum, near Richmond, with Count Mercier, the French minis ter, in tho month of May or early part of June. lso-. He, it will be recollected, visited Richmond by permission ofthe Northern vtovernnient, but was inter dicted from holding direct intercourse with President Davis or any of his cab inet, and he spent nearly two days of his time at my house in Henrii-o. In Kint of fact, as the sequel will disclose, he was sent here (by Mr. Seward) with a view to make peace. In the course of a day's discussion in my library, he asked me a great many questions, among others, the question : "Can you whip McClellan?" who was then lying with an army of two hundred thousand men within six miles of Richmond, confronted by Henerai Lee. I told him in reply that I felt sure we could and xvould, and if the Emperor ! the French would opeu the port ar.d keep them open, we would march to New Yrk. an I not ask the loan of a man or a .i..i.ar. With great animation he .sprang to his feet and said in French : " I: sip h be the temper of your peo p'e you arc imincible. lint why do vo u think ou will whip McClellan? " I answered: " Because tho President and '.e:eral I.ee tell me they believe xx e xx i i 1 . " Then heaiMiii: "Hut do you know hox many men are bearing U'kjii Ricu ipopd 7 " I re;l.e!: "Ihe President thinks there are joo.iioii. Jeneril Lee thinks not so m uty, but more than lan.uoo.

To that he replied: "You are mis taken. If ou will only return and ac knowledge the flag, Mr. Seward will perm.; x mi to i eiiii n without any con ditions." "What !" said I, "With the institu- . loll o lax orv "' Yi ," he -aid. I then said: "Put there is vet one 1 1 i . r more to lio considered.

Some time atterxvard the French con sul, Mons.

"Rut. .said I, " Monsieur Paul, what guarami e can you give us that, if xx e take so i iiij oi lant a . step, the Kmperor xx i 1 1 ai'kiiow ieUi,e us ?

It is due to Mr. Havis to say that I saw him next morning at his own iiou-e before Cong: ess met, as soon as I went i .o town, and told him what hid pa.-.-id between the 1 Tench consul and myself. His answer was: "I should concur with you in accept ing the-t- tortus but for" the constitu tional oilui idi v. Y ou know that Con gress has no jurisdiction oxer the iih .ieet of slax erv ." True," I said, "but that dioi' ulty may be irotten over, in my opinion, w ithotit anv violation' of the constitution, i.otthe bill for the gradual aboiitiou of slavei v also pro vide that it shall not ta::e"e"'ect until theStates have, by acts of their respect ive legislatures, duly passed, approved and lalit ed it, w hi h you know will be lust js -,hH as if passed IieforehanH an. iho.i,, i :,-r.-Ms to do the thing.

He then asked me hy the French government could not denl with the States in the matter, so as to avoid ad constitutional questions. I told him J had put that rerv question to the F rench consul, and his answer was: "Fram e does not k now the States hut she knows the Confederate govern ment and President Davis." Mr. Davis then said: "Well, I muat consult the cabinet, and if thev agree with you I will send for you.' And there the matter ended. ECCENTRICS. The man with cardinal socks never wean cloth shoe-uppers. The piccadilly collar will soon melt like lard on a hot frying-pan. Never arrest the atlention of an ac quaintance by a touch. Spe-ik to him. The Chinese washerman smiles from ear to ear wlu-n he thinks how close a! hand the white necktie season is. The man with a sore throat neve: likes to hear any one allude to diphthe ria in his presence. This is the kind of weather in which no man can fully understand the mys teries ofthe ulster. Don't think polished boots a clean collar and a cigar constitute the man. It takes considerable more than that. Cheerfulness makes the mind clearer, gives tone to thought, and adds grace and lieauty to the countenance. Future punishment is for other peo ple. The man who believes in it ex pects himself to be happy in heaven. Navy blue parasols with white spots are getting to be all the rage. The rage is confined principally to the husbands who have to pay for them. Thegreat beauty of a last year's cal endar lies in the fact that it jokes are a.s new, if not newer, than those in las: year's. In play and for pleasure you can not speak too much xx ith children, nor, in punishing or teaching them, too little. There are over sixty-seven thousand Sunday-schools in the United States, with an aggregate attendance of three million children. It is not perhaps of so much conse quence xve believe as what we do not atfect to believe. Relief is not in our power, but truthfulness is. If every clergyman was compelled to study and learn more of this world, we wouid be taught to viexx the next in quite a different light. In the sweet by-and-by there xvill probably bono fashionable churches, in which the occupants of the best pew are unacipiaiuted with those on the rear seats. It disconcerts a man considerably xx hen he is silting in the middle ofthe rtoor to imagine he is near the wall, and xxith that belief firmly rooted in his soul, to tip his chair back and sit down on his jugular vein. Dry goods clerks often indulge in boat races, but oarsmen never indulge in dry g ods stores. This only proves that liotli dry goods clerks and scullers have more brains than they are general ly credited with. If the Moderation Society, whose chief object seems to be to do away with the pernicious habit of "treating," man aiies to live, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the average politician to join it ifhe w ishes to be beaten. The man in the soiled duster and slouch hat lined with a cabbage-leaf xx i! 1 soon cause tin ills of joy to shoot through tho leripatetic gamin as he stands on the corner and otleis variegated ice-cream lor a penny a glass. 'Tis now Adolphus jumps Adown Rroi.dxxay I n fancy datn ing pumps, And r.i her gay ( olored socks. The daisy blows upon the mead And in the xaliey fair: Rut then tin-festive book a-gent, Ylix-, lie bloxxs everywhere J i e happens to go. He lu ld her hat.d in his. Pioposcd, and she said no; And then he, li ke a sensible man. Let go Her hand, and shot out of the plai e like a grey hound. TH.IOI.KT. 'Tis now just s a. in. Ii seems tiiat time is fleeting. Ah ! time's tide naught can stem; "l is noxx just a. m.. And. by the xx ay, ahem ! It's about the time for eating. 'Tis noxx just s a. in.: 1 1 see ms ih.it time i- fleeting.

Till even thesoul but yearns for sleep, Calm rest for fevered riot The sacred sleep, the shadows deep, Of Death's majestic quiet! They sat beside the lakelet's rim, ' Anl watched the lilies stir Upon its breast; 'txvas sweet to him 'Twas likewise sweet to her. If their xvords may be relied upon. He said: "Oh, won't you be my bride, And we'll live in a cot?" And she unto him straight replied: "Oh, ('eorge, forget me not," And he said he wouldn't. Their words became as sweet as rhyn e They lovers xx ere 'txvas plain. When suudenly, about that time, Commenced to fall the rain, And thev started for home like greased lightning. Everythin xvill be satisfactorily settled ft the next meeting perchance. --.fl OF IIIMOIt. "Sociables sati.-factoi ily oyslered," is a quaint advertisement.

TIIOK.HF.S AX 1 SENTIMENTS FOR THE SABBATH DAT. Choice Select ions From Leading Writers Net Forth in Prose and k-oetry "To Thee I Come." Wearied and tired I mourn. Loathing what is, dreading what is to be, Shrinking from burdens that must still be borne, Father I come to thee ! I lay my burdens down. One moment, that my hands Thy cross may take; When shall I lift them up to take the crown tiiven for Christ's dear sake? I'm wearied with the heat. And still the sands grow hotter 'ueath my tiead; Beside no cool streams xvalk my aching feet, No shade is o'er my head. I come to thee for rest. Bringing Thee love and trust both weak through pain, Oh! lift me till I lie upon Thy breast, Love me to peace again. An- 1 lav Thv precious hand In softest touches", on my head to-day, And let me by Thine own strong breath be fanned, Through all the desert way. Then though my heart be sad, Though I am weary and the way seem long, Thy blessed presence here shall make me glad, In Thee I shall be strong. Education and Crime. The New York Evangelist says: "There have been so many instances of late years in which educated men have committed crimes, that many peo ple have come to doubt whether, after all. education has much moral value. Prison statistics, hoxvever, settle that point. From seventy to ninety-five per cent, of the criminals in the differ ent prisoners are ignorant. Still, as a matter of fact, mere ability to read and write is not a enough to deter a man from criminal acts. There is no moral value in mathematics. Novel reading does not keep the hands clean nor the heart pure, and there is no nec essary connection between the rule of three and respects lor the rights of pro perty, nor between logic and the love of one's neighbor as himself. The pub lic school education of this and other countries is not directed to moral train ing. Children are not taught religion, and their best sentiments are not quick ened and called into life by the school discipline. And unfortunately, in too many instances, there is no home training to supply the defects of school instruction. In thousands of homes no religious instruction is given, nor mor al training worthy the name is imposed, the voice of prayer is never heard, and nothing xvhatever is done to impress on t lie child's mind the solemn truth that he is a responsible being, and will be held accountable for his acts. If educa ted men sometimes fall and become criminals, it is not on account of their education but in spite of it, and for want of that moral and religious edu cation, for the rights of men and the fear of Ood. Something should be done to supply this all-important de fect, or the merely intellectual educa tion xve are giving xvill prove to be quite as much of a peril as it is of a blessing." True Peace. In order to have peace to my spirit. I must either forget Hod or falsify His character, or be reconciled to Jiim through the blood of the cross. The first of these ways can never be li 1 1 v carried out, for nothing can evei wholly banish from tnv thoughts the remembrance of the Ood that made me. The second of these xvavs will only lead me down to hell with a lie in my right hand by making me believe that Ood is ind'iti'erent to sin. The third is the only way of permanent, perfect peace. In being brought nigh to God I have peace, lor that winch marred it xvas my distance from him. In being reconciled i righteously reconciled) I have peace, for that which kept me from having it v as the variance betxveen Him and tue. 1 his distance has been removed, this variance adjusted by the sin-bearing work ot His Son. Over tnat wort tne great controversy has been settled for ever, and a friendship never to be bro ken has commenced between us. This friendship is the verv life of my life, the health of my countenance, the joy of my joys. lth Got l for my menu, l pass through life and peace. He is all to me, and in fellowship with him I find a toy which overshadows all that the world calls by that name. With God for my friend, neither xveakness nor the grave, nor the judgment, can alarm mv soul. AH is well Honor, D.U. lawful 1'u rsu its and Pleasures. In regard to the lawfulness of certain pursiiiis, pleasures, and amusements, it is impossible to lay down any nxeu and general rule, but we may cotindent- lv sav that whatever is found to unfit vim for religious duties, or to interfere xx ith thejierformance ofthem, whatever dissipates vour mind or cools the fervor i . - . . . of vour devotions, whatever indisposes you to read your Bibles or to engage in praver, whatever the thought of a bleeding Saviour, or of a holy God, of the hour of death, or of the day of judgment, falls like a cold shadow on your enjoyment, the pleasures which you cannot thank God ier, ou which you cannot ask His blessing, whose recollections will haunt a dying bed and plant sharp thor.is in its uneasy nillow : these are not for vou. These eschew; in these be not conformed to the world, but transformed by the re- newing of vour minds: "Touch not, taste not, handle not." Never go where vou cannot ask God to go with vou, never be found where vou would not like death to hnd you, never indulge in any pleasure which will not bear the morning s reflection. Keen your selves unspotted from the world; not from its spots only, but even from its suspicions. JJr. uuthrie. Truth Centers. Christianity plants truth in the life centers. Truth becomes, in every con verted soul, an abiding principle. This royal motive takes its throne in the heart, and man is henceforth subject to the dictates from within. Truth is the potent principle which governs the in ward life; the face beams it; the con versation is dignified and purified by it; tne nanus give it out in practical service ; the feet evermore walk in the pleasant paths. The whole human na ture is permeated by it, loves it, and lives it, and feels it to Vie an essential part of itself. Il is not a me.e ideal or theorv ; it is not a creed, only in letter; but it is life and joy and peace wrought into the very nber ot every faculty and every affection. Tins principle grows into his nature and makes a man distinct, and beauti ful, and brave, and good. Methodist Krrortler. Where Hell Is. " I wish to ask you a question," said Mr. Sharp to our young minister, as he met him in the street ; " I am anxious to know where hell is. The Bible 1 have read,' geographies, histories and other books, and 1 can't find out where it is exactly." The young minister, placing his hand on his shoulder, and looking earnestly into his eyes, replied encouragingly : " My dear sir, do not be discouraged ; I am sure you will find out after awhile, as for myself I have made no inquiries, and really don't wiuh to know where hell is. About heaven I have thought, aud read, and studied a great deal, i wish to make tliat mfbome, and by tne grace of God I will. ; Ask me about heaven and I can talk, I don't know where hell is, and you had better not find out." " ' An Aneedote of Garibaldi. One evening in 1861, as General Gari baldi was going home, he met a Sar dinian shepherd lamenting the loss of alamb'outof his flock. Garibaldi at once turned to his staff and announced his intention of scouring the mountain in search of the lamb. A grand expe dition was organized. Lanterns Mere brought, and old ofheers ot many a campaign started off full of zeal to hunt the fugitive. But no lamb was found, and the soldiers were ordered to their, beds. The next morning Garibaldi's attendant found him in bed fast asleep. He was surprised at this, for the Gen eral was always up before anybody else. The attendant went off softly and returned in half an hour. Garibaldi still slept. After another delay the attendant waked him. The genaral rubbed his eyes, and so did his atten dant, when he saw the old warrior take from under the covering the lost lamb and bid him to convey it to the shep herd. The General had kept up the search through the night until he had found it. Even so doth the Good Shep herd go in search of His lost sheep unti I lie finds them. Admiring: the Iadles. You must know my opinion of fe male society. Without it we should degenerate into brutes. This observa tion applies with ten-fold force to young men and those who are in the prime of manhood, ror, after a certain time ol life, the literary man may make a shift (a poor one I grant) to do without the soeietv of ladies. To a young man nothing is so important as a spirit of devotion (next to his Creator) to some amiable woman whose image may oc cupy his heart, and guard it from pol lution, which besets it on all sides. A man ought to choose his wife, as Mrs. Primrose did her wedding gown, for qua ities that "wear well." One thing at least, is true, that if matrimony has its cares, celibacy has no pleasures. A Newton, or a mere scholar, mav find employment in study ; a man of lite rary tastes can receive in books a pow erful auxiliary ; but a man must have a bosom friend and children around him to cherish and support the dreari ness of old age. John Randolph. Lost. Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, Two golden hours ; Each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is ottered, As they are gone forever." Are you the keeper of a guilty se cret? And do you never think it can break the frail walls of your heart and pass by the affrighted sentinels ofyour lips? It will escape in spite of your careful dreaming. Confess it to Christ, and be ridden of the burden for ever. "o Home But Has Some There. Darling- Longfellow never wrote more truth ful or touching poetry than that in spired poem entitled "Resignation:" "There is no flock hoxvever watched and tended. But one dead lamb is there; There is no fireside, hoxvsoe'er defend- ed, But has one vacant chair. "The air is full of farewells to the dy- And mournings for the dead; The heart of Rachel, for her children crying, Will not be comforted." What family is there xvhich does not find its complement in one or more who dwell on ihe thither side of the riv-er amid the glorv ineffable ? What family is there that holds not a broken harp, the string of xvhich was once swept by little fingers, now cold and puJseless, but who&e hearts noxv make music and melody ;n the heavenly choir? We know that "it is well with the child." But that does not fill the void. We know that the Father does all things well, but there is a river that separates the pet and idol and joy of the house hold from us, and we know that it will never be crossed from theotherside.The silver cord has been snapped and it xvill never be reunited on this side. Put away sacredly the little remembrances; they will never more be called for. Tears are the gift which love bestows upon the memory of the absent, and they will avail to' keep the heart from suffocation. llow Pierpont must hax e suffered before he gave voice to that sad refrain: "I cannot make him dead! His fair sunshiny head, Is ever bounding round my study chair; Yet when my eyes, noxv dim With tears, I turn to him. The vision vanishes he is not there ! I xvalk my parlor lloor, And, through the open door, I hear a footfall on the chamber stair, I am stepping toward the hall, I gixe the boy a call; And then bethink me that he is not there!" Well, well! It is for some good pur pose that the little human angels ofthe household come and go. God knows all about it; we do not. Waiting: . I'm kneeling at the threshold, weary, faint and sore; Waiting for the dawning, for the open ing of the door; Waiting till the Master shall bid me rise and come. To the glory of His presence, to the gladness ol His home ! A weary path I've traveled, 'mid dark ness, storm and strife; Bearing many a burden, struggling for my life; But now the morn is waking; my toil xvill soon be o er, I'm kneeling at the threshold, my hand is on the door ! Methinks I hear the voices ofthe blessed as thev stand, Singing in the sunshine, in the far-off sinless land. Oh, would that I were with them, amid their shining throng, Mingling in their worship, joining in their song ! The friends that started with me have entered long ago; One by one they left me struggling with the toe; Their pilgrimage was shorter, their tri umph surer won. How lovingly they'll hail me, when all my toil is done ! With them the blessed angels that know no grief or sin. I see them by the portals, prepared to let me in. O Lord, I wait thy pleasure; thy time and way are best; But I'm wasted, worn and xvearj; O rattier, bid me rest : Divided. What prayers can bring the wander er Across the broad sea home ? What fondest speech can the dead man reach Beneath the ocean foam ? And what can sunder heart from heart, Save death or distance hold them apart ? Oh, prayers may bring the wanderer, For Love hears every prayer; And a loving word by the dead may be heard Love's voice sounds everywhere: But if love be wroth with love ah, vain, Vain is all hope to be joined again ! If yon act with a view to praise only, you deserve none A NOTED EDITOR. JOSEPH GAT.E-H.hr.. A SKIT If II IS LIFE.

In his address on the 4th of June, 1", at Raleigh, on the erection of a monu ment to Jacob Johnson, 'ov. Sxvain thus spoke of this famous editor and print er: "The x enerabie Joseph Gales xvas the senior of the editorial fraternity in years and journalistic experience. N one that knexx him ever thinks of him but as the iin j -ersonilu atioti of kind ness, benevolence and charity. His eldest son, Joseph Gales, Jr., at Wash ington xvas joined by W. W. Seatoii. x ho had married ids sister. Col.

The family of Gales came from I' k ington, Knglaud, where Joseph -aie-, Sr., was born in 1 7 I . With.no patri mony sae probity, capacity and i-idus-try, lie commenced the great battle of life. Receiving as good an ediu -ation a the country then afforded, at the aurc ol L' he was bouml for a term of 7 years to the book biudmgand printing .business. He became ma.ster of his craft and eetan iisJie.l himself at Shellield, Yorkshire, as printer and publisher in 177. Willi little" capital, but xxitii what i- inon valuable than money "the character of an industrious business man" commenced the publication of "'Ihe Sheliield Register:" xvhich, by its hij:h tone and ability, attained an unpre cedented circulation. "The lines had fallen in pleasant places" and he pros pered. He was assiste-a in tne e-iitoi i d conduct of the Register by the poet. James Montgomery, who subsequently succeeded him .-s publisher and editor. The troubled naves of tho French Revolution re; .':ed the shore of Rut land and profoundly excited the whole country ; but perhaps no district xvas more earnestly aroused than Sheffield. Mr Gales deeply sympathised with the cause of reform Riots took place ; Lr. Priesily's house xvas attacked;' Hamil ton Rowan escaped to America, as did Priestly ; Aa'icct corpus was suspended. The printing of a letter addressed to tho London Club xvas traced to "Gales Printing Otbce," and M r. 'ales escaped arrest and imprisonment by flight.

With the characteristic kindness ofa puieand simple-hearted people Mr. Gales found in his adopted home a cordial welcome and at once es tablished "the Raleigh Register," re viving the name and motto of the Shel lield Register. Here in the kindly and genial capital of our noble old Common wealth more than an ordinary life time was passed, tranquil and hanpy, sur rounded bv warm 1'iiendsand a family of all'ectionate and trifted children.
