Juat Befora the Battle, Mother-
A Parody—By TIAb.
Just before the battle, mother,
I was drinking mountain dew
AY hen I heard Ibc foe a marching, •£
To the rear I quickly flew ;
Thcro the stragglers were u flying.
Thinking of their homes and wives, _
’Twna not the foe that they were fearing,
But their own precious live*.
Chorus—
Farewell, mother, you will shortly
Sec your darling son ngnin,
For if he only can sky-ddodle
Dear mother he’ll come home to thee.
Oh I long to see you, mother,
And the other ones nt home.
If I can get a chnnce, dear mother,
I certainly will come.
Beef and hard tack, dear mother,
Are not the things to make one brave,
'Tis against my constitution
To fill an early honored grave.
llark ! I hear the bugle sounding,
’Tis the signal for the fray,
I’ll crawl to some big tree, dear mother,
And then I will he all O. K.
I have no taste foi martial glory,
Fame and honor is all in iny eye,
I had rather be a homespu* private
Than a Brigadier come home to die.
Longevity.—Samuel Mittcr of Loch
Sheldrake, Sullivan County, though nine
ty years of ago is as rugged and vigor
ous as are most men at fifty five. He
■till does about as much and as hard
work on the farm as any of the workmen.
Last Saturday he was in the field all day,
reaping buckwheat and did a big day’s
work at that. Mr. M. we are told
erected the first building ever put up in
Monticello. lie sawed the tops off of
four trees at the point where the Liberty
road joins Main street in that village,
and built a house for those about to com
mence work on the Newburgh and Coch
ecton Turnpike. This was before the
turnpike had been opened farther than
Bridgcville, and, the old gentleman says,
it took his party four days to get their
teams through from Bridgeville to Mon
ticello. Old as he is, and notwithstanding
the fact that he has worked on several
canals, he never saw either a canal or a
railroad in operation.— Monticello, N. Y.
Watchman.
The Asiilky-Butlf.h Conspiracy.—
It is said that a mass of testimony bear
ing upon the alleged Ashlcy-Butler con
spiracy has been collected since the pub
lication of the Conover disclosures, and
will soon be given out in another elabo
rate paper from the office of the Attorney
General. The additional testimony will
include an affidavit of Capt. Chandler,
formerly of the jail here, in which some
important items are developed as to the
proceedings of the alleged congressional
conspirators, showing the connection with
Conover and the way in which his aid
was to bo obtained. Interviews between
Mr. Dunham and Gen. Butler are said
to be sworn to in ono of the affidavits,
and one of the affidavits relates an occas
sion where Butler is alleged to have paid
SSO to Mrs. Dunham, and to haveupbraid
ed her for not accomplishing what was
expected from her. Chandler is said to
be a man of good character, against whom
nothing damaging can be produced. He
is also a Radical, but bo is said to have
teen so disgusted by what he saw and
heard that lie deemed it his duty to inform
the Government. — Wath, Cor. N, Y.
Herald.
Revolution.—Radical Journals at the
South arc emphatic in their declarations
that Congress will not submit to the
Constitutional proclamations of President
Johnson; they strive, in the same breath,
to fasten the guilt of inciting revolution
upon the Conservative papers. That’s
an old trick of malefactors. Resolved
upon war, or pretending to be, in case of
defeat in politics, they vehemently and
basely denounce innocent men as incen
diaries and strife-provokers. It is a sly
game, but a foolish one. If any war
should grow out of present perplexities,
the Southern Conservatives will have
nothing to do with it ; but, from the or
ganization and drills of the Grand Army
of the Republic, Loyal Leagues, etc.,
the Southern Radicals seem determined
to have a sanguinary finger in the pie,
although that pie should be baked a thou
sand miles away.— Constitutionalist.
Rich and Poor—“ When I had noth
ing of my own'' says one, “I felt as if
the trees of the forest, the grass of the
meadows, the sea and the sky all the stars
verp mine, hut since I purchased this old
house and garden I have no longer any
thing else but a home and a garden.”
A correspondent at the Virginia Springs
where Gen. Lee is stopping, says that
the General never talks politics, and pre
fers the society of the other sex. Every
morning he saddles his old grey
horse and takes a ride, in company with
two or three friends. Mrs. Lee is with
him—“an old lady, of quiet, pleasant
ways, almost helpless from rheumatism,
confined to her cottage chiefly, and
moving about only in a chair.” Gen. W.
Custis Lee is also with the party.
Good.—General Ord has caused the
aarest of an officer charged with com
plicity in the recent destruction of the
office of the Arkansas Constitutional
Eagle, and has ordered an investigation.
— Exchange.
To Kill Warts.—The following is
said never to fail if properly applied :
Make a strong steep, from red oak bark,
in hot water ; when cold, apply as con
venient ; the oftener the better. In a
lew days the wart will disappear.
