Lost !
nv f.. l. s.
Lost to the world, nnd its own sweet ways;
Lost in its wilds of woe and sin :
Remorseful thoughts of his sober days,
To be drowned in the ret cl's din.
God shield and pity! None else can save
The poor lost wretch from a drunkard's grave.
Ah ! yes ; he is drunk ; hut I pity him so,
For he is friendless, and poor, nnd old ;
It is warm ; the rain will not chill I know
’Twere the same if freezing cold.
See him lying prone and helpless there,
The beating rain on his long, thin hair.
I look at his foul and bloated lips,
At bis hands—so shameful to see—
Then down at the little white hand 1 hold,
At the little white foot on mv knee.
I know that a mother, tender and true,
Blessed the lost one’s life when a baby, too.
My fingers twine in my darling's hair,
While the summer rain falls soft and still ;
I look at the poor old wanderer there,
Aud weep despite ray will,
I weep fertile mother who hared her breast,
Ta Util tiisß form to its childish rest.
I know fire fingers were tender as mine,
That toyed, like mine, with his golden
hair—,
It once was golden, 1 see the shine
Os its faded splendor there.
Ah ! where is the hand and dear white breast,
That soothed him once to his infant rest?
Dear little eyes, so blue and deep.
Soft little hands so plump and fair—
Let mo elo.se the one to a dreamless sleep,
And fold the others where
They never shall move on earth again,
Than see them with such shameless stain.
Mothers of earth, when we rear our sons
With such loving and tender pride,
How little we know where their feet t\ill
stray
In the paths of the world so wide.
Tis a merciful hand that holds a screen
‘Twist the baby days and life’s c'osing scene.

“Statesman Wanted.”
The Sun, which shines for all, price two
Penis, says a statesman is wanted for Presi
dent. It also says Grant made a mistake in
selecting his Secretary from among the “givers
of presents” instead of the statesmen of his
party. It also says : “The Cabinet win also
funned with a giver of presents at its head,
and men of no political power and small intel
lectual abilities."
U'„ n little surnrised at all this! The
Sun and other head-lights oT the moral and
progressive party insisted that Grant was a
statesmen ; and that his party was made up of
statesman, all of them so perfect in their wis
dom that one, even though he he a dumb
head, could make no mistake in selecting a
Cabinet.
What has hccome of Grant’s super human
wisdom ? Where is that mass of petrified
statesmanship, called brains, which so filled
Grant’s lips that his lipscould not open? We
arc surprised to think that Grant is not a
statesman, or that lie should have other than
statesmen surrounding him.
Asa student at West Point, he was net very
successful ; as a promoter of discipline during
his early connection with the army he was not
a success ; as an advocate of the temperance
cause, he never accomplished much: as a far
nier, he amounted to nothing ; as a tanner, he
could dump green hides into a vat, but could
not make leather of them. And so it is with
the political affairs of the country. lie can
put everything in soak, but to save his life,
cannot bring order out of the chaos he has
helped establish.
“A statesman is wanted.” Well, the Dem
ocratic party will furnish one in a short time.
Before many years the people will have learn
ed the difference between wisdom and igno
rance ; between patriotism and fanaticism ;
between Republicanism and Democracy. 1 hey
will have tired of the splendid display made
for them by the party in power; will have
learned wisdom from the lessons of the past,
and take precious care that in the future they
elect as Chief Executive ol the nation one who
will he himself a statesman, and surround him
self with advisers who are the same.
But don’t blame Grant. God Almighty
never intended mile-posts to talk ; you can cut
letters upon the stone, and call it a statue, a
man—but thet does not make it so. Imitations
are not realities. Meanwhile let those who
are finding fault with a President of their own
selection derive consolation from the fact that
time is flying, and that it will not be many
months before there will be another President
elected, who will, in all probabilities, be not
only a statesman, but an honest man. N. Y.

A W bite Matt's Government.
At an Educational Convention lately hold
in Louisville, Kentucky, P. 11. Clark, a well
known colored man of Cincinnati, delivered
an address which is highly heterodox according'
to Radical theory and praetieo. The follow ing
is an extract from the address:
“I trust that I shall shock nobody's preju
dices, alarm no person’s fears for my sanity,
when I, a colored man, and a life-long agita
tor for colored men’s rights, declare, as I do,
that this is a white man's country. In all its
wide spread grandeur of mountain, valley and
plain, of river, lake and ocean, of densely
crowded city and uninhabited wild, from ster
ile,< frozen Alaska to the warm shores of the
Gulf, this country belongs to tho white man ;
to him and his heirs forever. It was a white
man’s ship that hurst through the gloom
which had shrouded this continent from the
eyes of the Old World for so tunny centuries,
and it was a white man who leaped first upon
the shore, claiming the new land fur himself
and his brethren.
White men have conquered this continent.
Its teeming fields, its mines, its wealth produ
cing industries, its thousand cities, belong to
them. This a white man's civilization.—
Wo gain enlightenment from a literature
which, in all its varied departments—philoso
phy, theology, physics, mathematics, poetry
and the drama—white inen have been perfec
ting for three thousand years. This, too, is a
white man's government. Our Union of States,
our guarantee of free thought and free speech,
our method of enacting laws by men selected
by the people—all these are his peculiar
modes, and are the crystalized results of his
political experience. In nun hers, in intellect
nnd energy, the white man stands at the head
of all the races which haye found a home in
America. White men have come to us by
hundreds of thousands each year ; by millions
every ten years. They have, do. and will con
trol the destinies of the people residing upon
this continent.”
No Iloots or Hurrahs.
Greater demonstrations would probably have
been made by citizens in some of the Northern
cities. There would have been a greater
profusion of flags in any city north of the
Ohio river (there wasn't a flag unfurled
within the city in honor of the guests except
at the headquarters of tho society, and at the
hall where the meetings were and the
hovs a little further North couldn't have re
frained from making a little unusual noise if
they had seen a score nr more of men of mili
tary distinction from the Commander in-chief
of the army of the United States, down to the
honored bearers of the insignias of lessor rank,
all of whom distinguished themselves in war,
marching in double columns through their
«l! t--,. - - • , L.t. J
themselves remarkably in this respect. They
saw Gens. Sherman, Sheridan, McDowell,
Pope, and a dozen others, marching to and
from the rendezvous, and they didn't yell a'
them, hurrah for them, or cheer them. Even
the little hoys who follow circus processions,
fire citrines, an I sit in the third tier at the
theater, did not stick their fingers in their
mouths and whistle at them, In these respects
the behavior of the citizens was of that com
mendable nature peculiar to Louisville and
more Southern cities. In every other respect,
the reunion was much the same as might
have been anticipated in any well behaved city,
unless it were with the single exception of the
banquet, which would hardly have been equal
ed if gotten up outside of Kentucky; or, to he
more definite, outside of the Galt House.—
llow many noses were elevated (on the sly) it
is hard to sav, but they were many. Not so
many would have turned in any Northern city
of a like population.—[Louisville Cor. Cincin

A Louisville Romance.
The New Albany Ledger says: “Years and
years ago a worthy young man of foreign
birth arrived in the city of Louisville in search
of employment. Ileat length obtained a sit
uation as barkeeper in a fashionable saloon.
To this establishment came bright ami early
every morning a little girl with mint for sale.
She was always dressed tidily and carried a
smiling face. The young barkeeper took an
interest in the child, and upon inquiry learned
that she did not carry her sunny face with her
mint only, but also in her own home, and in
the humblest employments. Setting apart a
portion of his own earnings, he sent her to a
school, and she soou surpassed most of her
mates. He then employed music teachers for
her, and she soon became a proficient.
Years rolled on, and fortune favored the
young barkeeper. He became the owner of
an establishment of his own. The wealthiest
men in Louisville were his friends. Ibe poor
little mii.t seller had now grown to woman s
estate, and was as accomplished and virtuous
as she was beautiful. She in time became the
wife of the man who had early befriended
her. The man is now reckoned to be one
of the wealthiest nun of Louisville—a large
owner of real estate—respected by all who
know him for his noble qualities, ot which
kindness of heart is the chief. M c read of
such events as these in the story books, but
they seldom occur in real life, ibis, how
ever, is true to the letter.”
The North Carolina Legislature is endeav
oring to hold over four years in order to elect
Holden to the United States Senate. A reso
lution declaring that the present term expired
in August was voted down.

Lying Ignorance.
“The great Washington door for the now
Capitol is popularly known. On one of these
panels is seen the rebuke of Gen. Leo by
Washington at Monmouth. Washington had
always suspected I.ee of disloyalty, and on
this occasion found that ho had failed to carry
out his express orders, and had commenced a
cowardly and disastrous retreat. Washington
is seen as having ridden rapidly to where he
meets Lee under a tree, and, rising in his stir
rups, administers n rebuke. Tho singular
thing about this particular panel is that Jef
ferson Davis was one of the commissioners to
examine Crawford’s designs for this historic
work, nnd in this way stood sponsor for the
withering shame thus emblazoned on the an
cestry of Lee.”
Mo take the above from the Washington
correspondence of tho Philadelphia Press. It
is a characteristic specimen of the way in
which Radical writers pervert history in the
effort to make it subservient to their mail—
nancy. The masses of the people may not
know, hut every intelligent.school boy deserves
to be whipped if he is ignorant of the fact that
the General Charles Lee, whom Washington
rebuked at Monmouth, was an English military
adventurer of fine abilities, hut of a captious,
envious and turbulent spirit. There was no
relationship whatever existing between him
and the Lee family of Virginia, and the* only
resemblance between them was in the simi
larity of name. The correspondent of the
Press, in his eagerness to make a telling point
against Mr. Davis and Gen. Robert E. Lee, has
overshot his mark, and is either a knave or an
ignoramus. Mr. Davis woll knew the distinc
tion between the General Charles Lee whom
Washington so sharply censured at Monmouth,
and Light Horse Harry Lee, who was the im
mediate ancestor of General Robert E. Lee,
and to whose high merits as a soldier General
Greene bote the warmest testimony. To whom
after the war was over, Washington sent his
love nnd thanks.’ So the only “sponsor for
the withering shame thus emblazoned on the
ancestry of Lee ’ is the Radical slanderer, who
claims the honor to be the special Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press. The
medium is worthy of the theme.
T.ife of a t'riiiter.
The following strange, eventful record of a
journeyman printer’s life is taken from a jour
nal, which paper asserts it correct to the let
ter. It dcvelopes what a man can do if he
likes, and what queer, enterprising, unselfish
fellows the majority of printers are :
The life Os a printer is, to say the least, one
of variety. I left home at the age of nine,
and was apprenticed to the printing business
at thirteen ; since then have visited Europe,
been in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and
S ranee, in Canada. Nova Scotia, l.aoraaor.
outn America, tve-t indies, ana all the At
lantic States of the Union, from Maine to Lou
isiana—have lived in twenty-seven cities and
towns of the United States. I have been a
sailor in the merchant service, and have sailed
in all manner of craft—ship, barque, brig,
schooner, sloop, steamer—in the regular army
as a private soldier, deserted, and got shot in
the leg. I have studied two years for tho min
istry, one year for an M. I)., traveled through
til the New England States, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as a jour
neyman printer, generally with little else than
a brans rule in my pocket. I have heen the
publisher of three papers—two in Massachu
setts nnd one in Maine. At one time I had
$7,550 in my pocket of mv own, I have been
married twice, and am near twenty-six years
old ! I have heen a temperanoe lecturer and
the proprietor of a temperance theatre.
Choosing a Wife.
Keep your eves open hovs, when yon are
after a woman. If the dear little thing is
cross and scolds her mother in the hack room,
you may he sure you will get particular fits
all around the house. If she npologizes for
wiping the dishes, you will need a girl to fan
her. If she blushes when at the washtnb
with her sleeves rolled up, be sure, sir, that
she is codfish little breeding
and little sense. If you marry a woman who
knows nothing but to commit manslaughter on
the piano, you may have got the poorest piece
of muslin ever gotten up. Find the one whoso
mind is right, nnd then pitch in. Don’t he
hanging around like a sheep thief, as though
ashamed to he seen around in the day time,
but walk up like a chicken to dough, and ask
for the article like a man.
The Amerieus Courier mentions a most sin
gular circumstance. It says: “about ten days
ago, a little boy between five and six years
old, son of Dr. J. F. Cato, of Bottsford, in this
county, was deprived, by Providence, of speech
and hearing, lie had retired to bed as usual
in good health; sometime in the night he was
heard to utter a scream which attracted the
attention of his mother, (his father being
away from home at the time,) who went to see
what was the matter. Finding him soundly
sleeping she returned to her rest, thinking,
no doubt, that be had been dreaming. The
next morning the liGle fellow arose at the usual
hour, but to the astonishment of his mother,
he was both deaf and dumb, and still remains
in this condition.
Find fault only when you must, and then
in private if possible, and sometime after the
offense. The blamed are less inclined to re
sist when they are are chided without witness
es : and the accused, may be impressed with
the forbearance of the accuser, v> ho, filthuugn
noticing the fault, waited for tbe propier time
t: mention it.

Fears of the Itrnve. I
It is a curious fact that men who have been
prodigal of their lives in battle, and have
passed through many “hair breadths i’ th*
imminent deadly breach,” should have so great
a dread of death when it comes from the hand
of an assnssin, It is said that Cromwell was
never seen to smile after he had road “Killing
no Murder,” in which was advocated his as
sn *si nation. Sir Neil Campbell, in his jour
nal lately published, gives its a graphic ac
count of the fear which Napoleon felt for his
life during the journey from Fontainbleeu to’
LI ha. On leaving Orange, where he had been
received with derision and abuse, he left bis
carriage, and enveloping himself in a Russian
cloak, and wearing the white cockade in »
common round hat, he rode on in advance of

Gratifying.
t Whatever else, says the Local Editor of the'
Telegraph & Messenger, may be said of the'
State Fair, it is exceedingly gratifying to “ye"
loca,, to read in Northern exchanges', the very
complimentary terms in which strangers A’bht’
abroad are pleased to speak of the people whoe*
morals he arid the preachers are presumed to
have in keeping. They say the people of
Mocon are a kind, polite, intelligent people,
find that during their presence at the Fair,
they saw no rowdyism, drunkenness, or any
sign of aku kluxer. This is good. It throwe
a halo of excellence and power about the point
of ye local’s quill, thaf is exceedingly gratify
ing, and covers tho ministers in our churches
all over with glory. Praise from an enemy a
the highest praise mortal ever won, and when,
as in this case, it proceeds from men who lead
the columns of the God and in iralitv party, it
partakes of the soothing ingredients of a bleu-’
tng. It’s bully.
PHRSIHENT’S MESSAGE.
To the Smote and House of Itepresentativta ;
In coming before you for the first time u
Chief Magistrate of this great Nation, it hi
with gratitude to the Giver of all good for the
many benefits we enjoy. IYe are blessed with
peace at home without entangling alliance
abroad to forbnde trouble, with a territory un
surpassed in fertility, of area equal to the
abundant support of five hundred millions of
people, abounding in every variety of useful
minerals, in quantities sufficient to supply the’
world for generations. Exuberant crops, va
riety of climate, adapted to the production of
every species of earth's riches, suited to the’
habits, tastes and requirements of every living
thing; a population of forty million free peo
ple speaking one language; facilities for every
mortal to acquire an education j institutions
mo (tv cuuco i aj iduiO; v»* otij
blessing of fortune that may be coveted g
freedom of tho pulpit, press and school; a
revenue flowing into the National Treasury
beyond the requirements of tho Government.
Happily harmony is being rapidly restored
within ottr own borders. Manufactures hith
erto unknown in our country are very rapidly
springing up in all sections, producing a degree’
of national independence uneqnaled by any
other power. These blessings and countless"
others arr entrusted to your care and mine,
for the brief period of our tenure-of-office.—’
In n short time we roust, each of tis, return
to the ranks of the people who have conferred’
our honors, and account to them for our stew
ardship. I earnestly desire that neither you nor
I may he condemned by a froe and enlighten
ed constituency nor by our own consciences.'
Emerging from a rebellion of gigantic mag*'
nitude, aided, as it was, by tho sympathies
and assistance of a nation wi'h which we
were at peace, eleven State* of the Union were
four years ago left without legal State’
governments. A national debt had been
contracted. American commerce was ala
most driven from the seas. Tho industry of
one half of the country had been taken from
the control of capitalists and placed where all
labor rightfully belongs in the keeping of the
laborer. The work of restoring State govern
ment” loyal to the union ; of protecting and
fostering free labor, and providing the mean*
for paying the interest on the public debt, ha*
received ample attention from Congress, al»
though your efforts have not met with succes*
in all particulars that might have heen desired.
Yet on the whole, they have been more success-
ful than could have been reasonably anticipa
ted. Seven States which passed ordinances of
secession have been fully restored to places in
the Union. The eighth, Georgia, held an
election at which she ratified her Constitution,
republican in form, elected a Governor, mem
bers of Congress, a State legislature and othef
officers required. The Govornorwas installed,*'
the Legislature met and performed all Act*
then required of them by the Reconstruction
Acts of Congress. Subsequently, however, in
violation of the Constitution which they had
just ratified, as since decided by the Supreme
Court of the State, they unseated colored mem
bers of the Legislature, and admitted to seats'
some members who are disqualified'by the third
clause of the 14th amendment, an article which
they themselves had contributed to ratify an-'
der these circumstances. I would submit to ’
you whether it would not be wise, without
delay, to enact a law authorizing the Governor
of Georgia to convene members originally
elected to the Legislature, requiring each to
i take an oath prescribed by the Reconstruction
Acts, and none to be admitted who sreineligis
ble under the third clause of the Fourteen k'
Amendment. The freedmen, under the pro-’
teotinn which they have received, are making
rapid progress in learning, and no complaints
are heard of lack of industry on their pvrf,*
where they receive fa : r reman nation for th Pr
i labor.
