The thought will steal with saddening powor
Whate’er is dearest to our hcavtA,

While hope would speak efjoy to couie,

Our hopes are shrouded in despair.

Whoso opening leaves now charms display,
E eu while we its perfume inhale,
Ihe worm has seized it for its prey.

The glories of a summer day,
To our enraptured sight appear
Where beauty sheds her choicest gems,
Wo cannot look for darkness there.
But see—a chntige steals o’er the scene—
The storm has risen with fearful power ;
Its shadowy garb on bill and dalo,
Its blight on every tree and flower.
The friends of childhood’s sunny hour,.
Seem dearer to our hearts each day p
Their rove a peaceful charm will shed,
When youth’s fair visions fade away.
This cherished dream is soon dispelled ;
YY r e find a friend a stranger grown,
Or death’s relentless hand has seized
Its prey—and we are left alone.

A Lesson From History.
An European letter writer recently put in
print the following :
‘;The Hungarians enjoy now-a*days per*
haps, more liberty than any other nation on
the continent. They aro now witnessing at
their theatres performances of scenes from the
war of lS4B'4i), which aro represented on a
scale of extraordinary magnitude and with a
great deal of display.”
Yet for twenty years the Hungarians were
the most oppressed people of Europe. For
daring to make fight in defense of their con'
stitutional privileges they were overrun and
enslaved by the superior power of Austria.—
Scenes of cruelty were enacted within the
borders of their country that shocked the
moral sense of the civilized world, and that
stood without a counterpart until Radicalism
established five military despotisms -in thsr
South, aud sent five malignant and unscrupu'
lous satraps to run them. The horrors visited
upon the people of Hungary after the revolt*'
tion of 1848, were never approached, until
Meade with his dctcctires and sweat boxes
drove them into ignominious obscrurity in
1868. The leaders of the Hungarian people
were driven into banishment just as John
Pope desired to drive all of the intelligent
and virtuous inen of his district. Somo sought
safety in exile, others served out long terms of
imprisonment. The people of Hungary so
soon as they laid down their ar.us were do'
privedof all political privileges aud denied all
personal rights. They lived under the rule of
the sword and bayonet, and tho world had
almost forgotten that thore was such a place
as Hungary, and that the Hungarian people
had left the record of bright deeds upon the
pages of its history". Austria had subdued her
rebels, she ruled them with cruelty and ex'
hausted the ingenuity of cowardice to find
means to torture and degrade them.
If our readers will just make tne change or
a few words, the picture will appear familiar
to them in every appointment and detail. Hun
gary suffered with fortitude and faith, as she
had fought with courage and devotion. In the
meantime, Austria, bloated with success cross'
ed swords with the Emperor of the French.
The combat was brief but bloody, and the
despoiler and oppressor of Hungary wont from
the field humiliated. Writhing under the
pangs of defeat and punishment, in a moment
of rashness she sought to regain her prestige
by polishing off Prussia. The result is fresh
in the recollection of all. Barely escaping
with crown, life and empire, Austria was glad
to subside into the peaceful security of a back
seat among the powers of the world. Then
began to dawn the day of deliverance to Hun'
garv. For twenty years she had suffered in
silence but in hope. Her sublime faith and
fortitude were rewarded, for in a short twelve
month her old constitution, the rights, fran
chises and privileges of her people were re
stored. Her defenseless men, helpless women
and innocent children were no longer exposed
to the brutality of Austrian military governors
and their soldiery. Now w# learn that such
is the freedom of Hungary, that at her the*'
tres are produced military dramas and specta
cles founded upon the incidents of her strug.
gles of twenty years ago.
Is there not in all this a lesson full of hope
to us ? YY r # do not desire to dramatizo the
scenes or deeds of our revolution, as tho North
ern versions of them are now dramatized, to
rekindle tho passions of the populace. They
have gone down to history and are embalmed
in our hearts and memories. Bat we want
political privileges restored. Wo desire to
have the Constitution under which we were
born and reared, and in defense of whose
principles we shed seas of blood and spent
millions of money, restored to the only people
who ever respected and obeyed its provisions.
These things will come so sure as the world
revolves. I]ut we must possess our souls in
patience, and resolve, as Hungary did, to suf
fer and endure and wait for the Nemesis of
Nations.
When does the rain become too familiar
to a lady? When it begins to patter on her
tack.
The Fin&Miial l’rospect.
The gamblers in national distress are play
ing their last card—the Government is selling
gold and buying its bonds at a fictitious rise.
As tha premium on gold is the gsugo of the
value of Government bonds, it is clear to any
one tliut tlicycan tcousisteutlyv i h honest deal
ing, both go up together. Thu foot that tliero
is a premium on gold at all is simply and only
a proof that the Government paper with
which it is bought, is not ol' equal value.—
And yet, in the fees of this fact, gold has
been going up steadily. Every day it takes a
larger denominational value of bonds to buy
a given amount of gold, and still bonds have
boon advancing too. It’s funny, isn't it? Or
rather it might be, were it not another step in
tho swindle by which it is sought to deceive
tho people, until the gold shall all bo out and
up, and the bulk of the bonds shall be out
and down. It progresses nut slowly, but sure
ly, and becomes more apparent every day.
. This is the weakest game that has yet been
played, and the Government gamblers can
have nothing but desperation to plead for so
feeble an effort to continue deceit.
ihe reason for the riso in bonds is that the
Government is rapidly giving what gold it has
and buying them in at the rise. Wero the
giving out of gold a healthful indication, bonds
would naturally rise; for there is nothing
else on the face ot the earth that has borne
such fruitful yield. Were the appearances of
strength a genuine healthful strength, gold
would, of course, gt> down ; for if the Govern
ment note were as good as gold th.ero would
be no cause for a premium, any more than
there formerly was on t]iv note of a bank be
lieved to be perfectly sound. Aud still, though
the Government is ladling out tlie gold it has,
its premium value, gauged by the Govern
ment's ability to pity, is vising steadily. All
that the Government can ladle out, all that
can be gathered from abroad, at aDy price,
and thrown upon the market here, don't keep
it where it was a week ago. The fact that the
Government cun't pay its bonds, and that
business can’t be made to promise golden in
terest, creates a desire for gold iu place of
bonds, which sends gold up. How, then, is it
possible that the weakness of the article which
causes the rise in gol<i, can be evidence of its
strength ? This game has been pushed too far
already, and the truth may as well be told.
The trifling rise in bonds, in comparison with
gold, is occasioned by the gamblers’ desire to
realize gold upon them now, in tho belief that
when the Government shall have paid out the
gold it has, there will not be enough for in
terest coming in through tho coming tax on
trade. Should they indicate the facts, bonds
would be tendered for gold at almost any
price. Instead of rising, bonds would go-down
with a rush far greater than that whieh gold
has gone up. They would flood toward Wash*
iugton and the Government could buy tlism at
about the rate of the yearly tax in gold- That
would not sa-it the gamblers here, who are
naturally anxious to get all the gold they can
for the bonds they have, and they have the
ear of the Treasury. Therefore, as do the
gamWcrs in real estate, when they move for a
rise, the experts in gold and bonds meat in
pretense of rivalry for bonds ; bid up the price,
with a mutual understanding that no exchange
takes place, and consequently no loss can
come to them. The quotations go out—bonds
by report, have - gone up; small holders
throughout the cossr-iry hold on to theirs;
the gamblers dispose of their pile for gold,
and when the country awakes to tho fact that
the “bottom is out,” it can whistle for eyen
its interest. The golden stakes will be drawn
by the gamblers, and the ‘little’ game will be
closed.
Then the quotations will be changed. The
gamblers will have drawn their stakes, and
knowledge of the real value of bonds will be
free to the most unfortunate ‘rural holder’
anywhere.
Tha public may believe as it chooses. "We
tell it the facts.
The rise in gold is the result of the proof by
experience of the past three months, that the
counfty has declineil, instead of improved,
under Grant and pretence of debt. The quo
tation of bonds i3 a ruse to’prevent an influx
of bonds to tho Treasury, which would reduce
their rat* while tho gold is going out to the
experts in bonds, who arc now returning rap
idly, even at the highest rate of gold. The
cheat will out when the gold is out —then
where will the holiest, innocent holders be?
YY'e have long foretold the end, aud no rea
der of ours can have us to blame when the
gold is out and the crash in bonds takos place.
Wo have shown 6ucli a change to be inevita
ble, and from the day it was shown that the
election of Grant could not raise even a bub
ble of confidence, the more profound in the
bond game have: been disposing of their stock.
At first the Government refused to buy at all.
Then every avenue was opened to create u sale
abroad. That was successful for a time, for
the Grant pill worked longer abroad than at
home. At length they became touchy abroad,
and decline set in ; the gamblers’ representa
tives threatened Europe with war, but, with
out effect. Then came the move on the Treass
urv—gold must be had for the bonds before
tlie crash. Boat well was obtained and the
last card worked. The professionals are at
the Treasury now. The innocent rurals are
reading tho manufactured quotations and re
taining what they have, An tho hope of a fur
ther rise, despite the rise in gold. It is work
ing well for the gamblers. But the gold will
be out. the gamblers safe, and then—the crash.
—[N Y. Democrat.
There is a man in Chicago who possesses so
romarkable a memory that he is employed by
the various benevolent societies to “remember
the poor.”
“The Next War.”
If the next “great moral idea” of tho party
that aro running this government is to be a war
with England or Spain—on some dispute that
could be honorably settled without an appeal
to arms—it may boas well to have an under
standing with them on somo points whieh are
apt to bo taken into account, before it is too
Into. If the war is to be with England, will
Mr, Senator Chandler aud his Michigan friends
come and Help us to protect our seaboard cities,
which will then bo exposed to attack from the
greatest naval power in tho world? AVo do not
want them to run off to Canada, where thero
is nothing to fight. If thoy really want to see
war, Boston harbor, New Y'ork Bay, tho Del
aware, Chesapeake and Potomac, in all human
probability will lie tho plsee where they will
see it sobucst. The British Lion is not going
out to Michigan to bark or bite.
If we are to have another conscription, arc
the rich and well-to-do to have the privilego of
buying up substitutes—while tho poor man,
the laborer, tho nuictuuiio and others of that
class must as heretofore, go to the front and
thus be lood for powder? Are tho Loyal
League clubs to have all the army and navy
contracts? Is the Navy Department going to
buy up all the old shijis and steamers “truly
loyal” Tom, Dick or Harry may have to soli, in
order to a “vigorous prosecution of the war”,
—paying therefor, as yore, three, four or live
times ms much as they aro actually worth ?
Is martial law to be pruclaimod—the liberty
of tho press—newspaper offices, not in accord
with tho powers that be, to bo regarrisoned
with soldiers, public meetings put dovru, with
a revival of arbitrary arrest, the Beizure of
private papers, etc. etc? Or, if the war is to
be on behalf of Culm, and Cuban annexation,
aro tho negroes there to bo enfranchised, sous
to send another lot of carpet baggers to Con
gress, nominally in the name of human “liber
ty,” but in reality to help the Republican party
prolong its power? Finally, out of whose
pocket is thu money to couie, to pay for all
this? Will the bondholders consent to have
their greenbacks taxed to foot the bill, or must
the burthen be placed, as usual on the labor
and industry cf the country? There are a
good many queries that might be put to the
madmen who are thus working up “the next
war,” but these will do for tho present.—[N.
Y. Express.
The Alexandria (Vm,) Gazette, speaking of
the lata inova by the bondholders, says:
“We desire mildly, and for information, to
ask, first, who is expected to be the Emperor,
and who are to compose hereafter the “Impe
rial family ?” A great deal depends upon the
latter clause of the inquiry. We might stand
on Empero jungly and alone, but there is no
telling what disgust might be created by the
‘court eiicle’ and the ‘nobility’ to eurround
him. We are afraid all the shoddy aristocracy
might be installed in the‘household’— and that
would be intolerable. Duke Coupon—Count
Contract—the Marquis of Five Twenties ! It
would never do. And then only to think some
of the Duchesses, and Countesses, and Ladies,
that might, poradventure, lead Society ! Nay,
the more we think of it, ‘from this stand point,’
tho less favorably inclined do we feel.”
An American writer says: A woman will
cling to the chosen object of her heart like a
possum to a gum tree, and you can’t separate
her without snapping the strings no art can
mend, and leaving a portion of her soul on the
upper leather of her affections. She will
sometimes see something to love where others
see nothing ta admire; ams when Let fondness
is once fastened cn a true fellow, It sticks like
glue and treacle in ft bushy head of hair.
A Trolly Woman.
A pretty woman is one of tho institutions
of the country—an angel in muslin and glory.
She makes sunshine, happiness, and blue sky
wherever she goes. Her path is oua of de
licious roses, perfume and beauty. She is a
sweet poem written in rare colors and choice
silk, and princip.los. Men stand up before her
as so many admiration points. Her words
float around the ear like music, birds of para
dise or tho perfumes of .Sabbath bells. With
out her, society would lose its truest attrac
tions, the Ghurch-jts firmest reliance, the young
men their very best company. Her influence
and generosity restrain the vicious, strength
en the taint hearted. Whenever you find the
virtuous woman, you also find fireside boquets,
clean cloths, order, good living, gentle hearts,
music,Jand modern insti utions generally. She
is the tower of humanity, and her inspiration
the breath of heaven.
—[Exchange.
An exchange has thefollowing : “It is said
that there are more editors unmarried than
any other class of professional men.” For the
reason, we suppose, that the majority of them
are intelligent and men of fine sentiment, and
do not wish to starve anybody’s sister.
A young convert in the country recently got
up and was making confession somewhat after
this sort:
“I have been very wicked, indeed I have ;
I have cheated many persons, very many, but
I will restore four-fold”—when ho was inter
rupted by an old lady thus: ** Well, I should
think before you confess much you had better
marry Nancy Stebbins."
A Rapid Fox.—The Vicksburg Herald says;
A fox, i. vidcntly affected with hydrophobia,
attacked a black man near Corinth, on the
29th ult., seized him by the pantaloons and
struggled with him. After a desperate fight
the negro succeeded in killing tho fox with an
axe, aud without being bitten himself. The
iox had probably been himself bitten by a
mad dog.
VOL 4. NO. 28
Let the Old Guard to the Front.
The following brave words are from the Bn
cyrus, Ohio, Forum, edited by John R. Cryincr,
one of the prominent Democrats of that State :
Impressed with tho fear that the Democratic
party of Ohio may commit a groat mistake at
the State Convention to bo held at Coluuibue
on tho ensuing 4th of July, we, acting for the
unswerving Democracy of Crawford County,
and speaking in their name, utter a word of
caution and warning. ..
It is proposed by certain leaders and politi
cians, and among them wo tiro sorry n
some who have hitherto shared our fullest
confidence, that the Democratic party shall'
abandon some of its distinctive positions, ad*
ranee its standard of principles into tne
publican camp, and ceasing to boa “clos*"
corporation,” surrender to some shoulder
strapped brigadier at discretion.
If the principles of the Democratic
are right, they should and will be triumph
ant, and nothing will contribute eo powerfully
to hasten that triumph as candor, earnestness
and honesty. If they are wrong they men*
dbfeat; and a proclamation of the fact wo
assuredly hasten that result. But tho
pies of the Democratic-party are right, limy
are those of Jefferson, Jackson and the father*
of the Republic. ' They have stood the test ot
time, and will continue to do so, althoug »*
Waved and made merchandise of for less th*n
.thirty shekels of silver by her apostate friends.
Away with this time-serving, principle M»
traying policy * In every instance it.hmi led
on to defeat, certain and inexorable. The r.ceut
striking of hands with our enemies »•««*
Hampshire and Connecticut, as well as the be
trayal of oar cause in the Presidential election
by that Judas Iscariot of the Democratic pr*»
the New York World-are sad, but admon
itory lessons. This is no time for
ing swords in token of submission, but rather
for throwing away scabbards and shields, and
advancing our battalions to the front. W*
call on the Old Guard whieh has never y*r
succumbed to the tyranny of power, or th«
seductions of wealth and military g ory,
come forth and wage battle as of old afcamst
tho craven cowards and traitors in our rank*,
and the advancing legions of imperialism mar
shaded under Republican banners.
Let the convention nominate, if they Will,-
somo already chosen spangled brigadier, and
stand him upon a platform supported by Re
publican bayonets, around which shall be en
twined a deceptive show of Democratic foliage ;
but they must not ask Crawford County to
sustain their action, nor contribute to the
enormity of their crime.
What Nerve Does.
An ounce of pluck is worth a regiment of
hesitating men; a little nerve, coolness, pluck
and decision have carried men safely through
difficulties insurmountable. In all probability
no person possesses nerve to a greater degree
than do bank robbers and persons of that class,
who live not by labor but by their wits, and
operations which succeed from boldness. Not
long since a man stood in a AY all street bank,
with a bag in his hand containing SIO,OOO in
gold. A gentlemanly looking man, with his
hat off said to ths one who held the gold:
“Let me heft it; I’ll guess within half an
ounee cf its weight.”
The person addressed mechanically handed
the bag to the applicant, who at once ran out
doors and was boo® lost in the crowd, while
the loser never saw [t again. On seeing him
with his hat off, lie thought him a clerk in the
bank. A gentleman standing by saw the thief
remove his hat und hang it on a hook, whea
he too snpposed it to be someone connected
with the bank, and said nothing.
Some years since a person entered the Im
porters’ and Traders’ Bank, New York, in
broad daylight, took off his coat, put on a
duster, stuck a pen behind his car, and then
walked deliberately past clerks and tellers, and
cashier, and pushing the president aside, who
stood talking with some of tho directors, en
tered the vault and helped himself to the
hwttost packages of money he couiu find, and
walked out unmolested, no one suspecting that
anything was wrong till he was off and out of
sight.
A few months ago in New York a hearse
drove up to tho door of a mansion. A genteel
young man rang the boll and inquired for the
man that lived there, but ho was down town.
He said the hearse contained a coffin in which
were the remains of the daughter of the occu
