A little old woman boforo mo
Went slowly down tho street,
Walking as if aweary
Wore her feehlo, tottering feet.
From umlor hor old poko bonnet
I caught a gleam tif snow,
And her waving eap^trlng floated,
Like a pennon, 10 and fro,
In tlio folds of her rusty mantlo
Sudden hor footstep caught,
And I sprang to keep her front fulling,,
With n touoh as quick us a thought.
When, under tho old poko bonnet,
I saw a winsome face,
Framed in with tho flaxen ringlets*.
Of my woo dnughter, Grace.
Mantlo and cap together
Dropped olf nt my very Wot:
And tlioro stood tlio little fairy,
Beautiful, blushing, sweet.
Will It bo lllco this, I wonder,
When at last wo eomo to stand,
On tho golden, ringing pavement,
0/ the blessed, blessed laud ?
Losing' tho rusty garments
Wo woro in tho years of Time,
Will opr hotter solves spring backward
Serene in a youth subltinot
Instead of the shape* Hint hid ns,
And made us old and gray,
Shall we get our ohllddiearls buck again,
With a brightness tliut will stay t

Slipped hor hand in mine:

“That I wus nlncty-nlno."

I hoard an amusing anecdote, in tliis

Ho nrrived In Dayton, (O), into ono night,
very tired from a long stngo rate during
tlio day. Tlio great humorist nnd states
man retired tolled, observing as lie did so
that some ono occupied another bed in tlio
opposite corner. Tiio lion. Tom was soon
fast asleep, and snoring tremendously.—
Tlio other traveler boro this infliction long
as human endurance could go, and then
lie Bang out:
“Oh! sir, sir.” •
“Hollo, hollo,” cried Tom, sittingup
wildly in bed, “what is tho ninttci-?”
"Olil sir,” exclaimed tlio sufferer, “you

“Did I snore?” demanded Corwin. “Is
it possible? I l-cally bog your pardon,

There is no more ridiculous aspect of tlio
present political condition of Georgia than
tlio persistency with which the Radicals
kcop up tliair effort to dcludo people into
tlio idea that tlieir attempt to hold over
tho present dynasty two years longer than
it was elected, in violation oi tlieir own
Constitution, is a simplo question of law,
and is right.
Thoy argue tho absurdity witli tlio same
seriousness that a green boy, studying
logic, astounds his admiring old fiithor
with Hint brilliant nyp’otion of Sophistry
that “black is ft wlor, ana white is ft color;
tucrefore, blnek is white.” Ho makes out
a conclusion that both know is falso in
fact. Tho difference between tho twocascs
is, that tlio holding-over humbug has no
logic in it, and works a foul wiong to a
grcnl State. . .
Tho simplo English of it is, that tlio
Radicals aro afraid to run the chances of
an election in tlie fall, and want to swindle
tlio people out of two more years of pow
er in contravention of law. Tliis it is nnd
nothing more. And whan tho Slander
Mill orgnn snj-s, “the reason and equity
of tlio case, it seems to us, is all on our
