Placing the little hats all in a row, Ready for church on the morrow, you know; Washing wee faces and little black fists, Getting them ready and fit to bo kissed; Putting them into clean garments and white; That is what mothers are doing to-night. Spying out hides in the little whito hose, Laying by shoes that are worn through the toes, Looking o'er garments so faded aud thin— Who but a mother knows where to begin ? Changing a button to make it look right— That is what mothers are doing to-night. Calling the little ones all ’round her chair, Hearing thorn lisp forth their soft evening prayer; Telling them stories of Jesus of old, Who loves to gather the lambs to his fold; Watching, they listen with childish delight— That is what mothers aro doing to-night. Creeping so softly to hike a last peep, After tho little ones all are asleep; Anxious to know if the children aro warm, Tucking the blanket round each littlo form ; Kissing each littlo face, rosy and bright— That is what mothers aro doing to-night. Kneeling down gently beside the white bed, Lowly and meekly she bows down her head, Praying as only a mother could pray, “God guide and keep them from going astray.” Going*; After The Cows. Tliay wailed there, by tho pasture bars — Dapple, and Dolly, and Dun, So I slip the bars in the well-worn posts, And drop them one by one ; But I do not go, as I always go, To see the milking done. I lean my cheek on tho pasture bars, And watch tho stars come out; Perhaps they will miss me, up at the house, And wonder what I am about; But I’ve something to think of hero to-night While I watch the stars come out. Last, night when I came to the beauties, Willie was walking with me, And he asked me if I thought ever A farmer’s wife could be ; For I jam a citygirl, you know, And a fa finer j son is he. Willie wears homespun trowaers, And such a coarse straw hat! But the face that looks from under tho rim, Is handsome and bravo, for all that; And his eyes, they look at me so quoor That my heart goes pit-a-pat. Every night when the work is done, We sit in the twilight, gray— Willie and I, in the ivied porch, And sing the hours away ; 1 think it's lie tier than opera, Or theatre, any day. He said last night that the summer Is brighter because I am here, That his work was novor so easy As it is when I am near — And he said—but there, I won’t tell, Such words are too sacred and dear. How pure is tho breath of the clover, That comes from the meadows mown ! How holy the sky above me, With twinkling lights full sown! No wonder that Willie is better Than men who live in town. bo I think I will stay in tho country, With Dolly, and Dapple, and Dun ; Perhaps in the far, sweet summers, They would know should I fail to come, In the dewy-eve to the pasture bars, To drop them, one by one. sfUmUimcaitSu A Dutch.-Irish.

A few days journey by rail brought him to a certain famous tunnel, into which the engine with a scream pitched head long, dragging the train upon which our youg traveller was riding at a high rate of speed. The darkness was instan taneous and intense, hut lasted only a moment when the train came forth from theother end of the tunnel like some huge monster coming from the deepest bowels of the earth. The transition from light to darkness, and from dark ness to light again was too much for the usophistocated young traveller, and lie concluded that some direful malady had stricken his vision. Looking about him, he spied a physician with whom he was acquainted on seat but a little dis tance from him. He immediately arose and and appoached the doctor, and with the most woe-begone looks and whining voice, said ; ‘Doctor, doctor, somethin’s the mat ter with me:’bout five minutes ago I was blind as a hat.’ Villiers, the witty and extravagant Duke of Buckingham, was saying one day to a friend, ‘I am afraid I shall die a beggar at last, which is the most ter rible thing in the world.’ ‘Upon my word, my lord,’ said his friend, ‘there is another thing more terrible, which you have reason to apprehend; and that is, that you will live a beggar at the rate you go on.’ Two neighbors living in Westchester county, had a long and envenomed liti gation about a small spring which they both claimed. The Judge wearied out with the case, at last said :—‘What is the use of making so much fuss about a little water ?' ‘Your honor will see the use of it,’ teplied one of the lawyers,’ ‘when I inform you that both the par ties are milkmen.’ Georgia The wild and luxuriant tales of the Ledger are equaled if not excelled by Ja lovely strain of romance which comes mellifluously up to us from Georgia. Thus it runs ; At a lonely station on the Chattanooga Railroad recently appear ed, mounted on two gallant but ex hausted steeds, a beautiful damsel and a gorgeous cavalier. Agitation was on their fair young brows, depseration in their mood. The knight with an impe rious gesture of his mailed hand, ex claimed, ‘Ho there / minions ? Up with the portcullis, down with the draw bridge ! To me lescue, Sir-r-r-s !’— No, by the way, he didn’t exactly say this— which would have been a most natural and proper thing under the cir cmstances—but he did demand, in im patient tones, where was the train. The railroad retainers intimated that it was not quite due, whereupon the noble pair rode on in a prodigious hurry, the masculine part of it calling under his breath upon—all the saints. The re tainers gazed after them in amaze, when the loud gallop of a third powerful steed was heard, and an enraged gray heard, in short, the maiden’s haughty and unremorseful sire, thundered past in pursuit, armed with a horrid scowl. As he disappeared the train tooted and arrived at tho station. The tumultu ous tale was quickly told, and cliivalric engineer and passengers resolved to do or die in the lovers’ defence. Extraor dinary steam was applied, and presently locomotive, knight, and damsel, and steely pa were careering o’er the fateful plain all together. Every car window was filled with excited and admiring faces, and hats and handkerchiefs and «Wmt»g yells were, flung to the $u ai mer breeze. But all seemed in vain. The calmness of despair sat upon the maiden’s lily-white face; a burning challenge shone in the cavalier’s eye ; their spent chargers could no further go, and the prospect of the grim pursuers brightened to tbdu: closr. '’Twhs to 6 -rrmeh. The'ftying'spectators'fell in a body upon the engineer, and demanded that it should be stopped. Stopped it was ; the tender and devoted pair were received on board by the enthusiastic multitude, and with one defiant screech, /he locomotive rattled away while the tyrannical and highly unpleasant parent sat panting in the distance, brandishing sharp weapons, and swelling the din with some dreadfully bad language, such as ‘sel-avos’and varlets’ and things. Who says that the marble realities of the nineteenth century have crushed the airy toes of romance ?—N. Y. Tnb. Gen. Batik’s letter gives rise to the re port that several other Congressmen are about ready to make anew departure. Among the doubtful are said to be Dawes, Hooper, Buffington and Butler, of Massachusetts, Garfield, of Ohio, and even Kelley, of Pennsylvania. The po litical news from the North is lively, and the indications are that the North Carolina election will cause a stam pede’ from the Administration ranks. Two brothers were to be executed for some enormous crime. The eldest was turned off first, without speaking ; the other, mounting the ladder, began to harangue the crowd : ‘Good people,’ said he, ‘my brother hangs before my face, and you see what a lamentable spectacle he makes; in a few moments I shall be turned off too, and then you will see a pair of spectacles.* The world moves, even in New Eng land. Elizur Wight, a man of mark among the Massachusetts Rndicals when Secretary Bout well was playing chameleon between the Democrats and the Know-Nothings, indignantly collars the Secretary in the Medford Journal and asks him what ‘the Administration has given the Southern States in com pensation for the $200,000,000 it has robbed them of by keeping swindlers in power by the aid of Federal bayo nets.’ This is a question which we ad vise Secretary Boutwell to answer, if he can, before November next. TERMS—TWO DOLLARS IN ADVANCE Governor Vance’s Last- —When Gov. Vance spoke at Newburn the Rad icals true to their low instincts, con cocted a plan by which the speaker was to be mortified and disturbed, but somehow, as will be seen, it rather mis carried. The bomerang hit the ones that threw it. While Va ice was speak ing a certain animal with long ears was led as near the stand as the crowd would allow, and presently he began to send forth some alarming sounds, which, once heard, are never forgotten. Vance paused for a moment and then, waving his hand toward the animal, said : ‘Now you just hush, you old Radical- -1 never promised to divide time with you.’— The animal and its deeper Vamoosed the ranche, and the crowd yelled and hal -1 oed.—• Raleigh Sentinel. Union Down.— lt is stated that the negroes of Macon, at Jeff Long’s ratifi cation meeting, Monday night, had their flag hoisted union down. A lady who passed through Butler on the train last Saturday, says the negroes there were holding a ratification meeting, and had their flag union down too. The coinci dence gives rise to a doubt whether this exhibition of the stars and stripes was a blunder, or designed to hangout a sig nal of distress. A leaky ship at sea, in danger of foundering, reverses her ensign —and as the Radical party just now is iu an extremeiy lea/ty condition, and in iminent peril of the same result, the Grant negroes think it well to hang out the signal. Cirr This Out.—J. D. T. gives to the New York farmers’ club a rule of esti mating the number of shingles requited for a roof of any size, one which he thinks every mechanic and" Tamrer should remember. First find the num ber of square inches in one side of the roof, cut off the right hand or unit fig ure, and the result will be the number of shingles required to cover both sides of the roof,‘Maying five inches to the weather. The ridge board provides for the double course at the bottom. Illus tration; Length of roof, 100 feet; width of one side, 30 feet—l oox3oxl44 —432,000. Gutting off the right hand figures we have 43,200 as the number of shingles required. Someuody to Vote for.— A Boston colored man of Southern birth, writes to the Post .* ‘At last the blacks of this broad land have a man to vote for whose record as their friend and the friend of labor is unimpeachable. God blcsss the day when the great Democratic party nomi nated the man who dared be just and true to all—blaci and white aliZe—in spite of opposition. Every man of col or who values his manhood will vote for Horace Greeley. Ac all events, the world may bet its life that I will.* An Eloquent Thought. —J. L. Pugh, in a speech last Saturday at Eufala, Ala., made use of the following sublime idea. In speaking of the absolute certainty of Greeley’s election, he said: ‘I feel it in the air around me. It comes in au dible whispers through the key holes of the great iron doors that now shut out the future from our vision. It speaks to me in most eloquent language of that bright dawn when those massive doors shall be thrown wide open, and we shall once more stand a united, free and happy people in the glorious sun shine of peace and national prosperity.’ A tall, slim fellow in trouble. lie wants to know what character to as sume at a masquerade. A kindly jour nal advises him to bind his legs anil go as a whip-lash; swallow himself round and round a few dozen times, and go as a role of tape; wrap himself in the American flag, and go as a barber pole; bristle his hair up and go as a white wash brush ; swallow a few marbles and go as a rattle-box ; put an insula tor in his mouth, and go as a telegraph pole, or walk on his hands as a pair of scissors. He is in worse trouble now than before.
