You Know Hoeytis Yourself.Dear Nellie. Sunday night. you know.
I hadn't much to say,And yet 'twas twelve o'clock or so
Before I went away;You saw that half the time I watched
The clock upon the shelf:.Oh, Nellie ! how , wished you might
See how it was yourself
I wants so to ,tell youWhat I've waited long to say,)ut heart and spirit failed me,My equrage died away.
Now, ]Nellie, only listen-You roguish little eli' !-
I'm sure yop'd pity me. at least,If you kpew how it was yourself.
Excuse me. Nellie, darling,I've loved yvou long and well,
Then let me keep this little hand,Nor all my hopes dispel:
I've loved you more than all the worldCan give of power or pelf--
But words are weak when hearts would speak;" You know 'tis yourself."
I1cr lips but faintly quivering,Her shy glamre upward thrown-
I gently drew her to my side,My beautiful, my own !
We sat there all the evening-"Twelve" came from the mantle shelf-
The rest you must imagine, for" You know how 'tis yourself !"
Nevada's Way.Ba.y~rd Taylor, in a letter to the X.
X'. Tibupe fro; .Nevada, says:In walking out with a friend this
morning, I came across a long beamprojecting from the gable of a housedirectly over a deep ravine. Therewas a slight platform under it and arope dangling from its end.
" What a fearful place this is for aswing," I said.
"Yes, so it is," said my friend, "anda man took a fearfiul swing there notfour months ago."
- How was that?" said I."Why, thus it was: A man shot
another in cold blood. He was ar-rested. tried, convicted, and sentencedto be hung. He was known to be adesperate vagabond, and an incendi-ary, and suspicions of many darkdeeds were upon him. His chances ofescape through executive clemency orlegal technicalities were considered bymany of our best citizens, who, on thewhole, concluded to make a sure thingof it. They therefore went in a bodyto the jail, escorted the prisoner tothis spot, and, after a solemn presen-tation of the facts in the case, theytold him to prepare for death, and ad-justed the rope around his neck. Nosooner was the knot secure than heswore a- California oatllthat no cowardshould have the glory of choking himto death, and leaped down the chasm.He came to the end of the rope beforehe did to the bo)ttom of the chasm, sochoked to death at last."
This little incident is scarcely wor-thy of mention, it being an affair ofsuch common occurrence here, but, asone of the ordinary phenomena of amining country, I have not felt at lib-erty to-omit it.
Theatrical Anecdote.When Stephen Kemble was mana.
ger in Newcastle, Eng., and the houseswere rather flat, no less a personagearrived in town than the Prince Annamboo, who offered his services for avery moderate consideration. Accord-ingly the bills of the day annonced" that between the acts of the play,Prince Annamboo would give a livelyrepresentation of the scalping opera-tion; he would also give the Indianwar-whoop, in all its various tones,the tomahawk exercise and modeof feasting at an Abyssinian ban-quet." The evening arrived, and manypeople attended to witness theseprincely imitations. At the end of thethird act his highness walked forward,with dinifled step, flourshing his toma-hawk, and cut the air, exclaiming :" Ha ha--ho ho! " Next entered aman with his face blackened and apiece of bladder fastened to his headwith gum; the prince, with a largecarving knife, commenced the scalpingoperation, which he performed in astyle truly imperial, holding up theskin in token of triumph. Next camethe war-whoop, which was a combina-tion of dreadful and discordant sounds ;lastly, the Abyssnian banquet, consis-ting of raw beefsteaks; these he madeinto rolls, as large as his mouth wouldadmit, and devoured themi in a. prince-ly and dignified manner. Havingcompleted his cannihal repast, lieflourished his tomahawk, exclaiming :-" Ha ha-ho ho!" and made hisexit. Next day, in the middle of themarket place, Kenmble espied the puis-sant prince of Anurniboo selling pen-knive.s, scissors and quills, in the char-acter •f a Jew pedlar. " What ! " saidKemble, " my prince, is that you ?Are not you a pretty scoundrel to im-pose upon us in this manner !" Mosesturned rouid and with an arch lookreplied: "Prince ! I vash no prince,I vash acting like you. You vas kings,princes, emperors, to-night, StephenKemible to-morrow; I vash hunipugs,you vash huinpugst and all vash hiun-pugs."

A Voice friom Texas.The Houston (Texas) nulon, of re-
cent date, brings forth facts and doc-
uments in strong array to utterly de-molish one of the many slanderous
charges which have been made against
Governor Warmnoth by the unscrupu-lous political tricksters who seek his
overthrow in order to gain their ownselfish ends. This sterling voice fromTexas will send consternation amongthe Governor's opponents, for "truthis mighty and will prevail," in spite oftheir attempts to stifle or gainsay it.We give the article complete:AN EXPLODED CHARGE AGAINST GOV-
ERNOR WARMOTIH.
We regret to see that our Republi-can brethren in Louisiana are not ex-empt from the evils that beset theparty in most of the other SouthernStates. And while we know but littleof the immediate causes of the presentdifficulties in our sister State, we mayventure the remark that there, as inTexas, personal ambition and humanselfishness enter largely into the pro-moting power.* And so far as thecharges made by one party or theother are founded upon transactions inLouisiana, we can have little or noth-ing to say, as we are not familiar withthem. But when one of the belliger-ents calls his witnesses fiont Texas,and relies upon testimony from thisState to sustain his case against hisumost-prominent opponent, it becomesour duty as a journalist and leader ofthe Republican party here to give suchassistance as will enable the truth toappear.
Among the most prominent oppo-nents of Governor Warmoth in Louis-iana is Col. Geo. W. Carter, the pres-ent speaker of the House of Represen-tatives, and until recently one of theGovernor's intimate political friends.Mr. Carter was formerly a resident ofTexas, and is well known to many ofour citizens of both parties. This gen-tlemen published a card in the NewOrleans Times of the 15th, in which hecharges Governor Warimoth with actscommitted in Louisiana, with whichwe have nothing to do, and it is notour purpose to allude to them. TheGovernor and his friends either can orought to be able to refute them on thespot. But he revives an old charge ofembezzlement against Governor War-moth, which was disproved and, as wesupposed, set forever at rest in Texasin 1867.
We copy from Mr. Carter's card:" Nor have I ever been indicted for
cotton stealing since the war. * *My first acquaintance with this youngmnan was in 186(, when he brought aletter of introduction to me and re-quested me to act as his attorney in anindictment then pending in the federalcourt against him for the embezzle-ment of public moneys, while acting ascotton agent in Texas."
Now the fact that Judge Warm-oth,as he was then known to the people ofTexas, was charged with the embez-zlement of public money, was wellknown here at the time, for the rebelpapers of that day let no opportunityescape to heap abuse upon any Unionmant, and more eslpecially one who hadserved in the United States army.Besides, the whole proceedings were
in tihe District Court of the UnitedStates at Galveston, and remain tothis day a matter of record. There thecase stands--the accusation, the reply,and the proceedings which speedily ledto the dismissal of the case on accountof being entirely groundless. We havebeen at some pains to hunt up the cer-tificates which were made public at thetime, and which entirely exoneratedJudge Warmoth from the shadow ofblame, even in the minds of his polit-ical enemies, who would have beenhighly delighted to make a pointagainst a Union man, if possible, evenat the expense of truth. The follow-ing appeared in the Galveston Bulletinabout the first of June, 1867, and wasextensively copied in the Southern pa-pers:
" TuE EMBEZZLEMENT CASE.-.Thefollowing papers sufficiently explainthat the case of embezzlement chargedagainst Mr. Joseph R. Morris and Mr.H. C. Warmoth has been dismissed bythe judge, and that both the judge ofthe court and the district attorney arefully convinced of the innocence ofboth these gentlemen:
O(FFICE OF THE U. S. ATTOILNEY,Eastern District of Texas,
Galveston. May 29th, 186.lion. H C. Warmoth, New Orleans:
DEAR SIR--In the course of officialduty here it has been my lot to pros-ecute yourself and Joseph R. Morris,of houston, for embezzlement of mon-eys of the United States, alleged tohave been received while you weretreasury agent here, in August, 1867.
Upon trial of the case this day itabundantly appeared that no offenseagainst the law had been committed,and his honor, Judge J. C. Watrous,instructed me to entera nolleprosequi.I did this the more cheerfully becausethe papers of the treasury departmentthis day put into my hands from thespecial agency office here prove c(on-elusively that the matter in respect towhich this prosecution was institutedwas finally adjudicated by the militaryauthorities in August, 186.5, and thatyou and Mr. Morris are above suspi-cion in the matter.
Very truly,D1). J. BALDWIN,
U. S. District Attorney.At the May term of the U. S. Dis-
trict Court for the Eastern District ofTexas, Galveston, Texas, May 29.
At eleven o'clock a. jury was em-paneled to try Joseph Morris and H,C. Warmoth for embezzling twenty-one thousand dollars of governmentmoney. The witnesses for the govern-ment were heard, whelp I became sat-isfied that there was no case againstdefendants, and told the district attor-ney that I had not a particle of doubtof the innocente of these defendants,and that the t nusaction was perfectlylegitimate; at ny rate, if the property1
was really the property of the govern-ment. a suit could be brought againstMr. Morris for its value, but to pursuethis trial any further was an act of thebaldest injustice. I therefore recom-mended to the District Attorney toenter a nolle pros. The District At-torney rose and said that he was satis-fied of the innocence of the defendants,and that he held in his hand the papersof the treasury department which ac-quitted the defendants beyond theshadow of a doubt, and that he wasglad that the defendants had beenvindicated by the courts of the coun-try. The District Attorney entereda 'nolle pros., and the court adjourned.
JOHN C. WATROUS,Judge, presiding.
I, Levi Jones, clerk of the UnitedStates Court at Galveston, certify theabove to be a true copy from the orig-inal, with the seal of court.
LEVI JONES, Clerk.If the charges now nmade by Mr. Car-
ter against Governor Warmoth are asdestitute of.foundation as the one in-sinuated by him, as above copied, hemust have a very weak case. For thepeople of Texas happen to know thatthe alleged embezzlement of publicmoney in the cotton ca.se was a myth,and the prosecution of Messrs. War-moth and Morris was found in feelingof personal spite, and terminated inthe triumph of the defendants and thediscomfiture of the prosecutors. IfGovernor Warmoth has done nothingsince 1867 that his enemies can takehold of to injure him. so that they areconlpelled to exhume this old explodedcharge of embezzlement, he may beranked among the purest men of theage. And when the strongest pointsurged against him are so frivolous asthis, we naturally presume that theminor-charges are scarcely entitled toconsideration.
-0 -00-WVague People.
Have you ever suffered from thefearful infliction of vague people tTo argue with them is to spend laborand strength in vain, like trying tomake rope out of sea sand. Beatenoff at every point, they settle downagain into the old vague vapory credo.and it is like fighting with ghosts toattempt to convince themn of a betterway. They look at you helplessly,assent losely to your propositions ; butwhen yon come to the necessary de-duction, they double back in a vagueassertion that they do not agree withyou, they cannot prove you wrong,but they are right; and you knowthen that the collapse is hopeless. Ifthis meant tenacity, it would be sofar respectable, even though the con-viction were erroneous; but it is themere unimpressible fluidity of vague-ness, the imporssibillity of giving shapeand coherence to a floating fog or aformless haze. Vague as to the basisof their beliefs, they are vaguer stillas to their facts. These indeed arelike a ladder of which half the rungsare missing. They never remembera story, and they cannot describewhat they have seen. Of the firstthey are sure to lose the point and toentangle the thread ; of the last theyforget, all the details, and confoundboth sequence and position. As todates, they are as if lost in a woodwhen you require definite centuries,years, months. It is as much as theycan do to remember their own birtlh-day; but they are never sure of theirchildren's; and generally mix upnames and ages in a manner that ex-asperates the young people like a per-sonal insult.
Sith the Ibest intentions in theworld they do infinite mischief. Theydetail what they think they haveheard of their neighbors' sayings anddoings; but as they never detail any-thing exactly, or twice alike, by thetime they have told the story to halfa dozen friends they have given cur-rency to half a dozen different chime-ras which never existed save in theirown woolly imaginations. No reputeis safe with them, even though theymay be personally good-natured andanxious not to do any one harm ; butthey are so vague that they are al-ways setting afloat exaggerationswhich are substantially falsehoods;and if you tell them the most innocentfact of any one you would not injurefor words-say you own daughter oryour dearest friend-they are sure torepeat it with additions and distor-tions, till they have made it into aFrankenstein which no one now cansubdue. Besides this mental haziness,which neither sees nor shapes a factcorrectly, vague people are so looseand unstable in their habits. Theyknow nothing of punctuality at homeor abroad ; and you are never surethat you will not stumble on them atmeal-times at what time soever youmay call. But worse than this, yourown meal-times or any other times arenever safe from them. They float in-to your house uncei tainly, vaguely,without purpose, with nothing to sayand nothing to do, and for no reasonthat you can discover. And whenthey come they stay; and you cannotfor the life of you find out why theyhave come at all.
They invade you all times, in yourbusy hours, and on your sacred days,and sit there in a chaotic kind of si-lence, or with vague talk that it tiresyour brains to bring to a focus; butthey are too foggy to understand any-thing like a delicate hint, and if youwant to get rid of them, you must riska quarrel and effectively shoulderthem out. They will be no loss.They are so much driftweed in yourlife, and you can make no good ofthem for yourself or others. Everwhen they undertake to help you, theydo you more hann than good by thehazy way in which they understandand the inexactness with which theycarry out your wishes. They volun-teer to get you by favor the thing youwant and cannot find in the generalway of business-say, something of apeculiar shade of olive green-andthey bring you in triumph a brilliantcohalt: and if you trust to their un-controlled action in your affairs, youfind yourself committed to responsi-
bilities you cannot meet, and broughtto the verge of destruction. Theydo all this mischief, not for want ofgood will, but for want of definitenessof perception ; and are as sorry as youare when they make "pi " and not alegible sheet. Their desire is good,but a vague desire to help is equal tono help at all, or even worse ; it is apositive evil, and throws you wrongby just so much as it attempts to setyou straight. They are as unsatis-factory if you try to help them. Theyare in evil case and you are philan-thropically anxious to assist them.You think that one vigorous pushwould lift the car of their fortunesout of the rut in which it has stuck,and you go to them with the benevo-lent design of lending your shoulderas the lever. You question them asto the central fact which they wishchanged; for you know that in mostcases misfortunes crystallise round onesuch evil centre.which being removed,the rest would go well. But your va-gue friends can tell you nothing.They point out this little surperficialinconvenience, that small remeditableannoyance, as the utmost they can doin the way of definiteness; but whenyou want to get to the core, you findnothing but a cloudy complaint ofgeneral ill-will or universal run ofuntoward circumstances with whichyou cannot grapple. To cut off thehydra's head was difficult enough;but could even Hercules have decap-itated the Djinn who rose in a vol-ume of smoke from the fisherman'sjar It is the same in matters ofhealth. Only medical men know tothe full the difficulty of dealing withvague people when it is necessary thatthey should be precise. They canlocalise no pain, define no sensation;if the doctor thinks he has caughthold of one leading symptom, it fadesaway as he tries to examine it; and,probe as he may, he comes to nothingmore definite than a pervading senseof discomfort, which he must resolveinto its causes as he best can.
So with their suspicions; and va-gue people are often strangely suspi-cious and distrustful. They tell youin a loose kind of way that such orsuch a man is a rogue, such or sucha woman no better than she should be.You ask them for their data--theyhave none; you suggest that they aremistaken, or at least that they shouldhold themselves as mistaken untilthey can prove the contrary, and offer
jour version of the reputations asper-sed; your vague friends listen to youamiably, then go back on their charge,and say, "I am smre of it"-whichends the conversation. They rely ontheir impression, as other people relyon known facts, and a foggy belief isto them what a mathematical demon-stration is to the exact.
In business matters they are simplymaddening. They never have thenecessary papers; they do not answerletters; they confuse your questions,and reply at randon or not at all; andtley forget all dates and details.When they go to their lawyer oin busi-ness, they leave certificates and draftsbehind them ; locked up where no onecan get at them ; or if they send di-rections and the keys, tell the servantto look for an oblong blue envelopein the right-hand drawer, when theyought to have said a square white
parcel in the left. They give you va-gue conuissions to execute ; and ;youhave to find your way in the fog tothe best of your ability. They saythey want something like somethingelse you have never seen, and can-not give an address exact. But apartfrom the personal discomforts towhich vague people subject them-selves, and the absurdities of whichthey are guilty, one cannot help spec-ulating on the spiritual state of folksto whom nothing is definite, and noquestion of faith clearly thought out.
Convictions based on imagination,unsupported by facts or proofs, are asworthless in a moral as in a logicalpoint of view; but the vague havenothing better; and whether as po-liticians or as pietists, though theyare war• partisans, they are but fee-ble advocates, fond of flourishingabout large generalities, but impos-sible to pin to any point and unableto defend any position. To thosewho must have something absoluteand precise, however limited--oneinch. of firmly-laid foundation onwhich to build up the remainder-itis a matter of more wonder than envyhow the vague are content to live forever in a halze which has no clearnessofoutline, no definiteness of detail,and how they can make themselveshappy in a name, calling their fogfaith, and therewith counting them-selves blessed.-Chimney Corner.

Its scientific papers, while sutficiently pro-found to demand the attention of the leant-ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-lar understanding, and designed as much todiffuse correct information concerning vuar-rent scientific discovery as it could Ihe if itwas the organ of the "'ociety for the Diffu-sion of Useful Knowledge."
The great design of Harper's is to give cor-reet information and rational anmisenment tothe great masses of people. There are fewintelligent Ameriean families in which Iiar-per's Magazine would not be an appreciatedandi highly welcome guest,
