And the rippling waves pass by. *
Watching the course of the chrystal stream
As it murmurs and flows along,
While its tiny waves dance’neath the golden beam

I’m watching the waves and thinking of thee,
Maid of the raven hair ;
Os thy laughing eye, o’er flowing with glee;
Os thy brow, so pure and fair.
I am twining a wreath of wishes for thee
As I sit in the trembling light ; ’
Wafting a prayer, you may never more see,
Aught of sorrow, or life’s dark night.
As the waves of the tiny stream rippling by,
May your life move calmly on ;
And bright as the sunbeams that on its waves lie
Your future may glide uloug.
May beautiful angels watch o’er thee in love,
And shield thee from all life’s storms—
When ended earth's mission, may hear the above,
To Heaven and a Saviour’s arms.
Through an endles eternity, may you e’er dwell,
With those that have gone before ;
Never weep or sorrow in that bright realm,
Or be parted from those you love.

Vanlandigham’s Death Bed.
RATHER AND SON—THE MINISTER COMES —A NIGHT
OF AGONY—I.ABT MOMENTS—THE FINAL
STUGGLE GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION BY A EYE
WITNESS.
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 18th
contains a long and well written account
of Vallandighatn‘s death. We clip the
following j
CHARLEY.
It is a little after I o'clock, and bat few
remain to see the last. A few minutes on
ly and the ioor is thrown open ; a groan is
heard i
‘Send up the young man in the office/
A slight, graceful, youthful form appears
Upon the landing and passes swiftly into
the room.
It is Charley, Mr. Vallandigham's only
child and son—the idol of his house and
heart. The sweet faced youth is kneeling by
his father's side in a moment, and his lips
are fondly pressed to that stricken father's
face. An outburst of tears from the pure
fountains of that dear young heart and the
big sobs shake its tenement until all seems
bursting.
It was not necessary to say, ‘There, that
is Charley;’
‘1 know him ; I recognize him. It is my
son ; my son Charley.*
Oh, God, such a sight! Dying father
and stricken son ! There let their tender
ness unutterable and grief ten thousand
times unutterable be curtained round and
only angels look hi and pity while mortals
weep*
FAITH;
While this affecting scene transpires,
Rev; John Haight, a Presbyterian minister
of this place, who came to inquire after his
neighbor, Mr. Mcßurney, relates that a few
minutes before Mr. Vallandigham recog
nized him in the room, and giving him one
of his bright looks observed, ‘I believe ac
cording to onr old Galvinistic faith that I‘li
get through this yct*‘
Ah, dying man, your interpretation of
predestination isrevgracd Kv iluxi
ALONE.
‘Let every one leave the foom. lam
Mr. Vallandigham's friend as well as phy
sician, and I desiro to be with him alone,*
and the dying man aud Mr. ReeVe are left
alone.
There was no concealment now. Death
was already attbedoor ; no hurnin skill
could save. The last commnnication was
brief, and when Dr. Reeve reappeared he
announced that he would take charge of
Mr. Vallandigham ; all should retire but
Mr. Williamson and the physicians. If
anything should occur, friends would bo
summoned.
DAYBREAK.
Dr. Dawson arrived and joined the medi
cal gentlemen in the dying room. The first
faint streak of day was seen in the east aud
the gray chili of the morning penetrated
the house. I was told now that Mr. Val
landigham wanted Dr. Reeve to ‘cut down
to those bleeding vessels and stop the hem
orrhage * Vain hope ; powerless wish. ‘I
would bo all right, Doctors, if I vvetc only
rid of this pam.‘ ‘We will give you some
thing for that, Mr. Vailandigham.
- A hypodermic injection of morphine was
administered. The pain was relieved almost
instantly, but the man was sinking and
friends were summoned to bis bedside.
The stricken son again kneeled down and
bathed his father's hand with tears.
The son was but the youthful image of
bis father— lovingly united in life—now
terribly separated by approaching death.
WAITING FOR DEATH.
The first stir of light outside was the
twitter of swallows in the eaves. Ihe
cold, gray light of the morning disputed
sway with the burning lamp, bnt when
that was removed at last, as no longer ne*
cessary, it seemed to have consumed the
last ray of light in the face of the dying
man. A deathly pallor overspread the
features, the finger nails of the right hand,
which from the first rested on tho pillow j
beside his face, while the other grasped
and was buried in the*] bed-clothes, turn*
bloc. The time of dissolution drew uigh.
With the earliest light came hosts of
frieuds. The hotel was again filled with
visitors, and the street iu front was throng
ed with pitying people.
THE RELEASE.
But the terrible waiting for death was
sorely protracted. It was a heaviness that
weighed everybody down, and will make
that sad morning forever memorable m the
| houses and homes of Lebanon.
The great, strong nature of the man
B^ru ffgled hard with faith, and gallantly
contended for life. Consciousness was ,xJ -'

Earlier in the morning he heard some
one winding a watch. Said Mr. Valiant

brief struggle, the uneasy lolling of the
head and movement of the hands, the la
bored breathing, the glazing eye, the
tightening ot the skin upon the face and
the dropping of the lower jaw. A few
groans escaped the beautiful arched chest,
the? iris disappeared, leaving the white of
the eye only to be seen, a few gasps for
the fast fleeting breath, and Clement L.
Vallandigham parted with life.

Fierce Attack Upon a Farmer by an
.Enraged Horse.
From several farmers coming into town
yesterday from the township of Taylor, out
reporter learned the particulars of a very
excitiug affair, which occurred in that town
ship, about seven miles from Detroit, on
Sunday last. A man named FiCruu
dotte. In riding the anlmaTTroTire Aimtws
had to give him several whippings, aud was
once or twice run away with, and thus
when he arrived home he was tired out,
and the horse was nervous and excited.
There boing some goods packed away in
the stables, Andrews took the horse in on
the barn floor to tie him. While so doing
the animal bit him, and for this he was
soundly belabored with the handle a
broken pichfork. After being struck sev
eral times bo broke loose and ran at An
drews and struck him down with one of bis
fore feet. While in this position the farm*
er received a bad injury from being stepped
on, but managed to get up and show fight,
still retaining possession of his weapon.
The horse rested, kicked and uttered mac
neighs, and in a moment struck the man
dowu again. Andrews fell so close to a
partition that the horse could not get at
him well, and here ho kept the beast at bay
by ponnding its legs with the club.
The people at the house had heard the
sounds of the struggle and a hired man and
the family were soon around the door. As
the horse seemed to quiet down a little the
man shouted to Andrews to crawl carefully
along to the door. This the farmer started
to do, but had not crawled three feet when
ihe horse pounced upon him again; aud this
time dislocated his shoulder by a blow of a
hoof. The horse then commenced plunging
and kicking at everything, jumping at An
drews whenever the farmer moved, and in
this emergency, seeing that he was likely
to be killed, be shouted for the man to gel
the family out of the yard, and then open
the door, supposing that the animal would
then go out. This was done, but the horse
plunged out and in again with such rapids
ty that the farmer could not escape, the an
imal making at him every time he tried it.
Asa last resort the hired man loaded an
army musket with fine shot, and gave the
horse the fall charge at short range. The
beast went down, jumped up, made a few
circuits of the yard, and the leaped the
fence into the pasture, and ran until tired
oat. Andrews was badly bruised in sev
eral places, had a shoulder dislocated, as
stated, and will be confined to the house for
| S ome time. The horse received consider
able injury from the gun-shot, but it w
thought a veterinary surgeon can heal the
wound.
King Victor Emmanuel was recently
seized°with an attack of sickness, supposed
to be oapplexy, while retaining from his
banting scat, Valdiri, to Turin. This was
his second attack*
Social Chit-Chat.
Linen collars are now worn square i»*i;ead
of pointed back and front, aHd *rc trimmed
with lace incertion edging.
Ruffles and rushings of lace for the neck
and sleeves afe more in favor this season
than they have beeu for several seasons.
White kid gloves are no longer worn
with full evening dress, the preference be
ing given to lavender, light grey or yel
low.
Russia leather belts, with largo buckles
and small bags attached at the aides, are
very much worn by ladies with all styles
of dresses, particularly muslin.
Very wide braid or velvet is now used
for binding the edge of street costumes
since the new styles of wearing long dress
es in the street would otherwise ruin aud
discoloi them very quickly 7.
Very 7 handsome toilettes are of Wack
j China crepe overdress, elaborately eui
bioidered, and wore over bTack silk, with
small rufil ’s. A sleeveless jacket of crept
is worn over a black silk waist, with long
sleeves.
The new style of bonnets for next fall
are said to be something really new, and
many miiincrs think they will have to hire
a few people to wear them, so as to get
people used to their decidedly unique ap
pearance.
Many yoUng children aild half grown
girls are afflicted with curvature of the
spine, which is produced, the doctors affirm,
by requiring them to practice several hours
a day on the piano without any suppore
for the backs or feet.
Young men who use perfumed note pa
per and elaborate gilt and red monograms,
tinted cards, embroidered handkerchiefs
and shirt fronts, lace neck-ties and fancy
sleeve buttons, must not be suprised if they
are considered effeminate and foppish.
The old style of presenting each guest at
a wedding with a box containg a liberal
slice of wedding cake, to take borne and
dream on, has again come in fashion, and is
much more sensible? and agreeable to al*
ii°and be agravated ,*.< li,.
