The Mttrch of the White Brigade. BY A. J. HKIJUEH. Their weapons laid in festal shade, They gather fast and far, The men whose ringing charges made The mountains reel with war ; I'or Seymour shout the swift array, And Blair, the bold and true, As, side by side, the hoys in gray Step with thu hoys in bluo ! A fearless band, they take their stand On river, lake, and plain, To clasp around their native land A re united chain ; “ For home and wife and life,” they say “ We’ll lock our shields anew I” As, side by side, the boys in gray Step with the boys in blue. The saints who cant, with eyes aslant, That wc may blinded lie ; 1 he sordid demagogues who rant That we must bend the knee, Have had their dungeons and their day, And shall the ruin rue, As, side hy side, the boys in gray Step witli the boys in bluo. No martial horde, with drum and sword, * Shall quarter on the free ; • Down with the Stamp Act! overbodfd The Tory’s tax on tea! Old George the Third’s exploded play Cannot be played anew, As, side by side, the boys in gray Step with the hoys in blue. The carpet-knights shall wing their flights, With all their woolen wares ; Whoso would have a freeman's rights Must take a freeman's cares ; And such as claim to shape their way Shall earn their living too, As, side by side, the boys in gray Step with the boys in blue. The hour is past—the die is cast— The flood rolls on amain 5 The Phantom ship, in wave and blast, Has settled, rent in twain 1 In vain her pilots curse and pray, And shriek the hopeless crew, As, side by side, the boys in gray Step with the boys in blue. The morning breaks, in golden flakes, The sun our fathers saw r Arise—and lo ! a nation wakes To order, peace and law. Ho! Butler, Stanton, Wade, away— And Seheuek, a long adieu ? As, side by side, the boys in gray Ntep with the hoys iu blue !

The Retort of a Fallen Despot. One of the sublimest of satires was uttered with the dying breath of one of the meanest of the Roman emperors. Tacitus relates that when Vil.ellius, after his fall, was staggering under the blows and imprecations of the mob, he replied to a tribune who taunted him with his misery, ‘‘Nevertheless I have been your emperor.” If ho was so vile and detestable a wretch, what was to be thought of the people who had accepted him as their ruler, who had paid him honors onlj- a little lower than those accorded to the gods, and with whom his edicts had been as unquestioned and potent as the nod of Jove himself? There is something in this historical ex ample that comes homo with terrible signifi cance to the ease of the American people in relation to the rule which has been over them for the past several years. However indigo nantly they may repudiate this rule hereafter, history will adjudge them to have been part ners in'shame. The whole combination of knaves and fanatics who have been harrying, plundering and mining the country, are des tined doubtless to fall from their opprobrious eminence and sound the lowest depths of exe cration and contempt. But in that event may they not all retort upon the people, as Vitelllue retorted upon the insulting tribune : “Nevertheless, we have been your rulers. Wo have had despotic sway in your land. We have done our will with your laws, with your government, with your money, with your very bodies in war or peaee, and for years you were zealous and proud to do our bidding. You bowed down to lift us to supreme authority, as an elephant kneels to let his puny rider mount. Had you not been self-abased, wc had not been exalted. If we have been architects of the country’s ruin, you have furnished us with the implements and the materials for the work. Foolish, blind, impious, mad, profli gate, and reckless as our rule may have been, what is in all these aspects but a reflection of your image 7” The Roman tribune had no answer for the overwhelming retort of Vitollius. Are the American people any better prepared to meet a like retort from their fallen despots? The sequel showed that the Roman mob, willing to change tyrants, was incapable of destroying tyranny. What will the sequel show in tho case of the American people? They have'it in their power uot only to hurl from power their detestable rulers, but to drive despotism to its last covert and extirpate it from the land. Will they do so? N. O. Crtic,.nl. Au Atmosphere of Sunshine. What horticulturist expects a plant to grow or a flower to glow with beauty unless it lias plenty of sunshine ? And how much more should a child bask in tho smiles of a happy household ! The world has too ntanv moroso and dwarfed c'.lldren, all arising from the shadow of ill-temper, and peevishness in which they are growing up. Children look little ho. yond the present moment. If a thing pleases, they are apt to seek it; if it displeases, they are prono to avoid it. If home is tho place where faces are sour, and words, harsh and fault-finding, aro over in the ascendent, bo ye sure they will spend as many hours as possible, elsewhere. Solomon's rod is a great institu tion, hut there are cases not few where astnilo or a pleasant word will servo a better purpose, and be more agreeable to both parties. Ba rents will do well to remember this in tho of their children, and in tho choice of influences hy which to surround them. It is a bitter thing, in old ago, to have tho *( r oc(aclo constantly before one's eye of children who have grown up vicious, and who are shun ned by the virtuous and respectable. And it is small consolation to say with the poet,— “How sharper than a sorpent’s tooth it is To have a thankless child!” Evade the matter as we will, our children grow up according to the influences they are under. No healthy, sparkling child can grow so in the shade; and no evil disposed child ever yet was nurtured in a household where tho sun light of love and happiness shone cheeringly all around. Ah 1 how sweet it is, when man hood's summer day is merging into the glori ous evening of old age, to look back from the shadows of the dark valley, which will soon he dispelled bv the sun of morning in a more glorious world, and contemplate a spent life where no intentional missteps can bo recalled, and where we can remember no lime when we have stood between the sun and those we love ! Then will the rough.and uneven plaoes in our pathway look less uninviting in the twilight of life, and the bright, sunny spots will sparkle as so many diamonds in the crown awaiting us. Happy, indeed, are those, whose inter course with the whole world has not changed the course of their holier feelings, or broken those musical chords of the heart whose vibra tions are so melodious, so tender and *0 touch ing in the evening of age. M iss Kate Maloney, a Troy washerwoman, beat Horace Greely eighteen voles for the Vice Presidency of the Labor Congress at its re cent session in New York. Horace is so re vengeful it is presumed his linen will now be dirtier than ever. Still it is what he calls “progress,” and we think it is. The Now Orleans Times says ; One by one the steps are being taken which mark the march of despotism. Regularly drilled and organized Radical regiments are common to the public eye the Western States ; but it lias been left to St. Louis to introduce five pieces of artillery as a prominent feature of a recent Republican display. “I’ll Take IVhat Father Tnkcs.” The shadows we cast and the examples we set are frequently of more startling effect than we could imagin'). Our boys and girls have sharp eyes, and are quick to follow all exam ples that have led an erring mortal into wrong paths. There is food for thought in the story that is told of a young lad, who for tho first time accompanied his father to a public dinner. The waiter asked him, “What will you take to drink?” Hesitating for a moment to replied, “I’ll take what father takes.” The answer reached his father's ear, and instantly the full responsibility of li is position flashed upon him. In a moment his decision was made; and in tones tremulous with emotion, and to the astonishment of those who knew him, ho said, “Waiter, I’ll take water.” “The Empire is peace,” said Louis Nnpoloon once at Bordeaux: but when, at the last fete of the Emperor nt Marseilles, sonic workmen cried Vive Inpaix, Long live peace, they were arrested for disturbing the peace. Proverbs from Confucius. Having knowledge to apply it; not having knowledge to confess your ignorance—this is real knowledge. Grieve not that men know rot you ; grieve that ye are ignorant of men. If in the morning I hear about tho right wey and in tho evening die, I can bo happy. An old offender was lately introduced to a new county justice as John Simmons, alias Jones, alias Smith. “I'll try the two women first,” said tho jus tice ; “bring in Alice Jones.” The following rules are posted in a New Jersey school house : “No kissing tho girls in school hours; no licking tho master during holidays.” The greatest vote ever thrown in Maine and Pennsylvania were in 1866. In Maine the Democrats gained on that vote nine thou sand. If Pennsylvania does that well, we shall get forty thousand majority there. Missouri. —The Radicals give up Missouri. The registers swear everybody who takes tho oath, and the Democrats register more votes this year than ever before. The Radicals are incensed because tho registers do their duty. The Hannibal Courier (Radical) gives up tho State to tho Democrats hy 20,000. Conversation is the daughter of reasoning, the mother of knowledge, the breath of the soul, the commerce of hearts, tho bond of friendship, the nourishment of content, and jho occupation of men of wit. Sensible Talk. A correspondent of the Morris, Illinois, Her ald and Advertiser, who knows “thing or two” about an editor's trials, as well as human na ture, makes tlifi following truthful remarks concerning the business of printing : “ Noticing nn article in your paper on spong ing, let me say a few words on newspaper pat ronage. It is a word of many definitions, and a majority of mankind aro cither ignorant of the correct definition; or arc dishonest in the strict sense of the word. Nowspaper patronage is composed of ns many varieties ns the rainbow lias different colors. Ono man comos in, subscribes for the paper and pays for it in advance. He goes home and reads it with proud satisfaction that it is his. lie hands in his advertisement, asks the price, pays for it, goes to his pluoo of busi ness and reaps tho advantage. This is news paper patronage. Another man says : ‘ You may put my name down on your hooks,' and goes off without say ing one word about pay. Time passes on ; you want your pay, what is honestly your due ; he gets mad and orders his paper stopped. This i| called newspaper patronage. Another man has been a subscriber ft long time, but has never paid a cent. At last ho becomes tired of you—wants a change, and thinks that he must have a paper printed in some distant city. He tells tho postmaster that he don’t want your paper, and it is returned to you marked “ refused.” Does he call and pay ? No jho wants the money to pay for Lis city paper. And this, too, is milled newspaper patronage I Anothor man brings in a fifty cent adver tisement and wants a two dollar notice given it. If you refuse, ho goes off muttering some thing about no competition, and extravagant rates. I think you editors like that kind of patronage I Another man lives near you, but does not take the paper. He don’t like the editor, or the paper is too small, or its polities don’t suit him. Yet, he goes over to his neighbor’s reads it, finds fault with it, and quarrels with the opinions of the editor. Sometimes he sees an article he likes and begs for the number to take home. This is, also, called newspaper patronage 1 Anothor man takes two or three city pafiers and can't afford to take his county paper, but he likes it, and comes to the offleo and begs one almost every week. This isfirst class pat ronage—over the left I Another man likes the paper ; he takes a copy himself, pays for it, and does all he can to get new subscribers to it; he never finds fault with every article, original or selected. If any little item of interest occurs in his neigh borhood, be drops into the office immediately and tells of it. This, certainly, is newspaper patronage. Another man comes in and says, ‘The year for which I paid is about expired ; I want to pay for another.’ There is no discount on that kind of patronage." Tight Rreeche*. Some female all in apparently revengeful spirit, thus holds forth on a prevailing gentle men's fashion : The press has never been remiss in depreca ting the follies of the female sex upon the occasion of each change in style of female ap parel, but it is a noticeable fact that the pop injay style of breeches now in vogue, moro ridiculous that anything tho women ever wore, is unnoticed. Female loveliness is such that it can make charming any extreme of fashion ; but what length of familiarity, prny heaven, can ever make tolerable—much less comely—the dexter appendage of tho human crane, wound about so tightly as to stop the circulation I The present style of pantaloons is neither comfortable, comely, nor economical. Tho “swell” that adopts it can neither stoop nor sit down without positive danger of an expo sure of his person from rupture caused by ten sion. When wo see these fashionables of the male persuasion on tho street, we are reminded of the exhortation of the raw-boned,ill-formed preacher when illustrating, the wonders of creation. Raising his long skinny arms high above his head, ho exclaimed : “God made this frame.” A voice in the congregation re plied, “Then his tools rau6t have been mighty dull.” Here comes a six feet gallant with a number ton boot, and a figure like a pair of tongs. — There is not enough of his legs to make a shadow, and he walks as if each boot was a double bass viol. By his side, perhaps, is an other devotee of the stylo, half his length, whose make-up reminds one of a plum pudding perched on the handles of a pair of pinchers. There they go the extremes of folly, and tho very essenco of ludiorousnesa. Nothing a woman ever woro will compare in folly with tight breeches on a bandy legged human biped.— Ex. Legalizing Unstamped Documents. —The payment of tho penalty to make valid an in strument invalid, for being issued without a stamp, renders the same valid to all intents and purposes as if stamped when made or is sued. The penalty paid in such caso is in the na ture of a consideration, on the receipt of which the Collector is authorized to do what no one else can do, give vitality to tho instru ment. This applies to receipts as well as contracts, cither party to which may have it made valid by payment of the penalty and stamp duty. The Secretary has power to remit the pen alty in such cases, if he deems inexpedient to do so. YOL. 3. NO. 47, Iliithcr Obliviohsr At a revival excitement in Connecticut, a respectable eld holy was struck with conviction became a convort, and was proposed for meirt borshipoftho church. There was a meeting held for the examining of the candidates, of whom thore wero Severn! in attendance. Well my dear sister Rogers,” said the ven erable examiner, addressing our venerablf friend, ‘ please reluto your experience.' The old Indy, on being thus addressed, lif ted up her voice : ‘Well,’ sail she, ‘I don’t know what to say, as I told my husband Mr. Roger*, bofore I came hero but I believe I have experienced ts change as I told Mr. Rogers, nty husbands after I came homo from mooting, when I be came convinced that I was the most sinful creature in the world, as I told my husband Mr. Rogers, and says he, I think so too. Tbetf I told Mr. Rogers, my husband I was going ttf lead a different life, was going to trim my lamp and have it burning agin the bridegroom come. Then Mr. Rogers my husband said ho didn’t see what I wanted of another, but ha didn’t make no objection. Then I told Mr* Rogers, tny husband that I would join the church and prepare myself for the plaoe where the worm dieth not and the fire is not squench od; nnd my husband, Mr. Rogers, told mb I’d better. Things to be Remembered. Tho Philadelphia Age says: Taxpayers, remember that tho Radioals have a two-thirds vote in Congress, and can, therefore, pass any measure ovor tho President. All bad laws enacted or suffered to remain unrepealed, are rightly charged to their account. Every dollar paid by the people, has to le indorsed by Con gress before it is gathered by the tax-gatherers. Congress fixes the annual amount to be drawn from the labor of the country. That sum is now frightful. It is beyond all former prece dent. With one-sixth of the lands and har vests, one-sixth of the flocks and herds, and every sixth day of labor under mortgage for a public debt, one half of which was the re sult of robberies on the Treasury by con tractors and other birds of prey, it is not wonderful that from every farm and workshop —from every hearthstone where industry pre« sides as a household god, thore goes forth an appeal for retrenchment and roform, such as never before arose from tho hearts and minds of the American pooplo. That appeal has been made tho corner stone of Democratic ac tion. That party is pledged to reduce expen ses, to curtail the army of office-holders, and eee that all the revenue collected is rightfully expondod, not put into the pockets of political plunderers. That pledge will bo carried out in good faith. Not a single item of it will pass into forgetfulness when Seymour and Blair are elected. It therefore boboores all who wish a reduction of taxes, to co-operate with the Democratic party in the present struggle. Congress has destroyed business. Lot the pooplo destroy the Radical majority in that body, and a brighter day will dawn upop the country. Oeraaft Proverbs. To change and to better are two different things. Everybody knows good counsel except him who bath need of it. Poverty is the sixth sense. Better free in a foreign land than a serf at homo. Better go to bed supperless than run in debt. There is no good preaching to the hungry. Charity givos itself rich, but covetousness hoards itself poor. It is not enough to aim ; you ntnst hit. The end of wrath is the beginning of repentance. The sun-dial counts only tho bright hours. Piety, prudence, wit, and civility are the elements of truo nobility. God's mill grinds slowly but it grinds well. High houses aro mostly empty ia tho upper story. A hundred years of wrong do not make an hour of right. More are drowned in the rum bowl than in the bowl of the sea. Tho fewer the words the better the prayer. One has only to die to be praised.—* Take the world as it is, not as it ought to ba. Speak little, speak truth ; spend little, pay cash. Handsome apples are sometimes sour. It !■ easier to blame than to do better. Our neigh bors’ children are always the worst. Truth may be suppressed, but not strangled. Fokty Acres. —The Mercury is credibly in formed that the Democrats of Marion, South Carolina, have purchased and presented to each of tho fifteen negroes who had the courage to go to the polls and vote with and for their old masters, with the titlo deeds to forty acres of good land near that town. Tne Difference. —Ono young lady rises early rolls up her sleeves, and walks into the kitchen to get breakfast, or insists upon doing so, and afterwards, with cheerful and sunny smiles, puts the houso in order without the assistance of “mother.” She will mnkc a good wife and render home a paradise. Young man, “get her!” Another young lady is a parlor beauty, pal lid from company, dissipation and want of exercise, reads novels and almost dies of lazi ness, while her poor old mother doos her wash ing. Sho is a usoloss pieco of furniture, an an noyance to her own household, and a curse to the husband she may chance to “ rope in,'» and will go whining to her grave. Young man, “ Let her alone 1” The virtuous Forney thinks that tho radicals “can do without the Irish vote.” Irishmen remember that. The North American calls tho action of white fathers, husbands nnd brothers, at Camilla, Georgia, in defending their daughters, wives and sisters from the outrages of licentious no grocs, an unparalleled atrocity. Do white men of tho North think so?— Age.
