The mountains 1 used to knew When my shadows were falling westward, And my days were all aglow 11 ith the sun of long ago. I have no need to remember The picture of each old place. For the touch of young September On Nature’s familiar face Has given the old-time grace; The grace of the day when sunshine Creeps softly and slow towards the woet, The Iniru,nameless „hade, scarce shadow, 1 hat holds a dim promise of rust, That marks its own hour as tho best 1 A grace which tho dying summer Threw like a mantle down On mountain, and held, and woodland, Where living she wore her crown— The crown in the dust laid down. It hangs o’er the hillside forest In many a misty fold, And the life is gone from their greenness, And the mountains look blighted and cold, Like strong men suddenly old. The tender gi een of the grasses Is changed to a lifeless grey; I have seen the velvet cushions In places where penitents pray That looked like the fields to-day. Indeed the whole earth seems a temple, Where, the notes of praise between, An undertone of sorrow Echoes in aisles of green For a dead and discrowned queen. And the gay and glorious autumn lteluctant comes to reign, As if she shrank from startling With light and joy again This vague unspoken pain. But a •irimson banner flying From one lone maple tree Gives to the wind a promise Of glory that will be— When the summer shade shall flee. The woods may burn With color, And the sun the hill-tops kiss. From their royal robing My heart a charm shall miss, And no day be like this. I shall open Unite eyes to the glory, I shall join the harvest praise, tint T on.rm/vf. onvry nvAr Into tho gayer ways What died in the summer days. Is R. B. Hayes a Know Nothing ? From an interview) between Judge Stul lo of Cincinnati and a Reporter of the Ghaeago 1 imes. Reporter—Wl.at do you know, Judge, of that charge made against Gov. Hayes of his being in open and avowed sympa thy with the so-called American Alli ance ? Judge Stallo—Well, my answer to that shall be siruply a narration of my own experience with the charge. It was not entirely new to me when I used it, but being anxious to learn the truth, I waited till some response should come from Columbus. Finally we got it in the shape of a general denial lrom Mr. Lee, the Governor’s private secretary ; and it strvck me as singulat that Gov. Hayes, being a lawyer should think of coming before the public with such an unsatisfactory rejoinder to a very im portant charge. Several days later meet ing Col. MarVbreit, the Governor's par ticular friend, I called his attention to this damaging irregularity. I told him that if the Governor wished me to dis believe the charge he must come for ward over his own signature and deny the accusation in terms. I would then be forced to believe him. That was some days ago. I have means of know* iug that Col. Markbreit went to Colum bus at once, but, so far, the Governor has not authorized the denial xve de mand.* Reporter—Then you mean to believe that Gov. Hayes personally endorse the principles of that alliance till he comes forward personally and denies it? Judge Stallo—-Most certainly I do. Asa lawyer I can do nothing else. — - Look at it as we will, advertising car ries with it a certain moral influence.

We find in the column ot ihc New York Herald the lollowing letter from a colored man in Savannah : 'Jo the HdHor of the Herald: In the name ot humanity, philanthropy and Christianity, why do not the friends ot the colored people of this striked city come to their rescue ? We arc depen dent on the whites for something to eat, and almost altogether tor medical assistance. II they do not relieve ns wo must die. tho Northern people, our political and religious advisers and sliepards, should send us bread and phy sicians, and not leave it all io the Dem ocratic whites here. Yours, ifcc., Charles Parker (Colored.) The colored people of the South will discover from the experience of their brethren lu Savannah that the professed friends of the colored people at the North will give very little, indeed, to the relief of their real wants. Their “‘political and religious advisers and shepards" will show them precious little of “humanity, philanthropy and Christi anity.” The money raised in the North for the yellow fever sufferers eoirn s mostly from those warmhearted beuevo. lent people who have never made many professions of their philanthropy. It is intended for the relief of suffering whites and blacks alike. The money sent from Southern cities meant fur the relief of suffering whites and blacks alike. The gentleman who have charge of Us dis tribution in Savannah apply it to the necessities of both races. Asa matter of fact, the bulk of the colored population in Savannah, well and sick, was support ed by the white people of the city from the breaking out ot the pestilence until their own means became exhausted. Their wants are now receiving careful attention. The “professed philanthrope ists” usually give everything but that which is most needed, money. General Butler and Mi. Wendell Plnliphs gave the colored people of Savann ill the Fifteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights bill, but they will not give them a dollar to keep them a ive from perish. iug by,disease or starving to death. In axmtrartiit vnu jeais ago, wnerf civuiun time w r as coming on and the Stale was considered close, General Grant prompt ly ordered rations issued to the, colored people who had been deprived of work by the overflowing of the plantations on the Tombigbee river ; but the State of Georgia is hopelessly Democratic and the President has no rations to give to the starving negroes of Savannah, The Republican orators in the North, in the East and in the West are begging the people to vote for Hayes and Wheeler, in order to avert the utter extermination of the colored race in the South, and they harrow up the feelings of their au ditors by describing the cruelties practi ced upon the “poor blacks but they have not a word to say for nor a cent to give to the “poor blacks” in Savannah, many of whom are fever-stricken and all of whom are dependent upon charity for existence. The Pope’s Heath. Pio Nouo’s physicians are again alarmed as to the health of their august patient. In spit* of the mental energy whiah carried him through fatiguing audiences, his feebleness of body increas es, and the oedema ef the left foot and ankles is such that he maintains the standing posture with extreme difficulty, and only tor a short time. The symp tmos of general senile dropsy are suffici ently threatening to cause much uncasi ness to his medical advisers, foreseeing, as they do, the inefficacy of measures which rarely succeed in less tried con stitutions. On Thursday, the 14th, in reply to the congratulatory address of an Irish deputation, he delivered a Latin discourse, in which his usual distictness of utterance was so impaired that many of his words were inaudible.

HOAR, OF MASSACHUSETTS, IN THE BELKNAP IMPEACHMENT 1 TRI AL, MAY 7th. 187(5. A tUKUIIILi: AUR UfIN.MKNT OF KKI'UIII.ICAN A DMINISTRATION. 1 lie following were the closing sen tences of Mr. Hoar’s speech : My own public life has been a veiv brief and insignificant one, extending little beyond the duration ot a single term ot Senatorial office, but in that pcs nod I have seen five judges ot a high court of the United States driven from office by threats of impeachment lor cor ruption o’’ maladministration. 1 have beau! the taunt from friendliest lips, that when the United Stales presented her self in the East to take part with the civilized world in generous competition in the arts of life, the only pwoduct ot hei institutions in which she surpassed all others beyond question was her cor ruption. I have seen in the State in the l iiiou foremost in power and wealth four judges ot her courts impeached for cor ruption, and the political administration of her chief city become a disgrace and a by-word throughout the world. I have seen the chairman ot the Committee on Military Affairs in the House, now a dis tinguished member ot the Court, rise in his place and demand tho expulsion of four of his associates for making sale et their official privilege ot selecting the youths to be educated at our great mili tary school. \\ lien the greatest railroad ot the world, binding together the con tinent and uniting the two great seas which wash our shores, was finished. I have seen out' National triumph and ex altation tinned to bitterness and shame by the Unanimous reports of three com mittees ol Congress, two of the House, ami one here, that every step of that mighty enterprise had been taken in fraud. I leave heard in highest places the shameless doctrine avowed by men grown old in public office that the true v Arj W I null |)C/TtC mioutil \jxj j„ the Republic is to bribe the people with the offices created for their service, and the true end for which it should be used when gained is the promotion of selfish ambition and the gratification of person al revenge. I have heard that suspicion haunts the footsteps of the trusted com panions of the Prcs dent. These things have passed into history. The Hallam, or the Tacitus, or the SisUloudi, or the Macaulay who writes the annals ot our time will record them with I is inexorable pen ; and now, when a high Cabinet oik fleer, the constitutional adviser ot the Executive, flees from oflice before'fcliar gos of corruption, shall the historian add that the Senate treated the demand of the people tor its judgment of condem nation as a farce, and laid down its high functions before the sophistries and jeers of the criminal lawyer? Shall he specu late about the petty political calculations as to the effect on one party or the other which introduced hio judges to connive at the escape of the great public crimi nal ; or, on the other hand, shall he dose the chapter by narrating how these things were detected, reformed punished by constitutional processes which the wisdom of of our fathers devised for us, and the virtue and purity of the found their vindication in the justice of tho Senate ?” To Make Cows GiVS Milk. A writer who says his cow gives all the milk that is wauled in a -family of eight persons, and from which was made two hundred and sixty pounds of butter in the year, gives the following as the treatment. He says: ‘lf you desire to get a large yield of rich milk, give your cow three times a day water slightly warm, slightly salted, iti which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of wa ter. You will find, if you have not found this by daily practice, that your cow will gain twenty-five per cent, immediately unacr the effect of it! She will become so attached to the diot as to refuse to drink clear water unles very thirsty, bat thin mess she will eat almost any time ana ask for more. The amount of this is an ordinary water pail full each time, morning noon and night. Your animal w ill then do her Lest at discounting jhe lacteal. Four huudred pounds of butter is often obtained from good stock, and instances are mentioned w'kere the yield was even at a higher figure.’ ♦ .
