BY MRS. CRAWFORD. We parted in silence, we parted by night, On the banks of that lonely river, Where the fragrant lines their bonghs unite, We met--and we parted forever. The night-bird sang, and the stars above Told many touching story Offriends long past to the mansions of love,
 Where the soul wears it's mantle of glory. We parted in silcnce-our cheeks were wet With the tears that were past controlling; Wevow'd we would never-no, never forget, And those vows at the time were consol ng; But the lips that echoed the VOW of mine, E Are cold as that lonely river; And that eye, the beautiful spirits shrine, Has shrouded its fires for eyers And now on the midnight sky look,
 And my heart grows full to weeping; Aud each star is to me is a sealed book, Some tale of the loved one keeping. We parted in silence-we parted in tears, On the banks of that lonely river; But the color and bloom of those bygone years Shall hang round it's waters forever.

The office of the Advertiser. with all it's contents was sold under the hammer oI Monday. It was knocked down 10 Mir. ID. McCallister at Gay dollars. It probably went for that trifing sum on account of a ve- ry serious incumbrance--the senior editor being sold withit.

Van will have hard race for it, in N.. York. The arbiter of other States, will have to become suppliant for his own!- Let 1t be remembered that in 1892, JdcL- soa's majority over Clay was less than ten thousand out of i,Do hundred and eightY thousand votes. New York will poll more than threo hundred thousand, and we all know that Van and Vans popularity, are very different things from the Hero's of New Orleans !--H Harrison also is much more popular with the nurra bows than was Clay. He has whipped the British too, and will step into much of the campaigning popularity of Gen. Jackson. The Wings of New York appear excited and animated, and seem resolved to gird on their armor without loss of time--The city elections af- ford flattenng augury.

VOL. VIII.
From the KnickerbocEer. HE MYSTERIOUS DESPOT.


 THE MYSTERIOUS DEsPOT. l sing mighty potentate,
 Yet tremble while I sing, Lest down on my devoted head
 His fiery wrath bring; For, by Saint George, 1 say and swear He's greater than klng! His sceptre is mighty one, : His realm the worlds wide span, And with a despot's arrogance . He rnies the race of man. --Hateh ne this king, in all the earth,
 So please ye, if ye call. X ,Proteus of thousand shapes, Sometimes like Aristotle, He learnedly sophisticates, Or rhymes like sAmos Cottle;' And sometimes, like Asmodeus,
 Is corked up in bottle. Sometimes he rules by right diY;ne,' While nations bend before him, Till some enthusiast takes fire,
 And undertakes to floor him; And then lie takes some other form,
 And stiH the fools adore him. Sometimes he boasts the godlike power ('Iis dangerous to mock it,) Of making life's pale flame re-shoot;
 When quiyerng in the socket; Ind thus he worketh on mans fears. And, through them, to his pocket. Oftimes the rostrum he ascends, A patriot in his glory, And vows mo party feelings sway And tells the good old story; Until he finds which profits most,
 The pay ofwhig or tory. Anon he takes a hero's guise,
 And fights 6 nations quarrel, And dons his helm, and girds his sword, : And mounts his noble sorrel; He seeks fame's wreath, in hope to find Some gliding on the laurel. He was the friend of Mahomet,
 Who ne'er without his bias Had made the Eastern world believe He was the true Messias; He also, as t IS now believed
 A fittte helped Matthias. Now, reader, should you wish to learn This wonders name and nation, About the last t IS difficult : T5 give true relation; But for the first, King Humbug is
 The monarch's designation. I've. no credentials of his birth, I'd print them if had lem: But 1t doth rather seem to me
 His ma was Eden's madam; For Satan he did humbug her,
 And she did humbug Adam.

MELODY FOR MIDDLE AGE

ME6OO1 Y TOJA hJDDLJ 4AGEs l almost thought the days were past
 Of those alternate hopes and fears Which did their lights and shadows cast On other scenes of other years, And that the world would henceforth wear The sober garb of worldly care. thought that, now, life's sluggish stream
 Was all too darkland cold to bear Pictured, as in poets dream,
 The image of the bright and fair.- In short, l thought that 1t was plain never should be young again. For IS there not a sscertaln age,
 When all that charmed when life was new Is hlotted from that dreary page
 Which grows more dull, yet not moro true And still in fiction leads us on, When all its gay romance is gonei thought so once; but those dark eyes With hem we must of course begin,) Those smiles, like cloudless, happy skies,
 Worthy of martyrdom to win That lovely form, whose sylphlike grace Vies with the witchcraft of that face-- And more than all, those accents sweet. Which of those brighter graces tell, Where wit and truest judgment meet,
 And gayest fancies love to dwell Teach me that much may still survive The wintry hand of 7'hirty.fre.

There has been coined already upward ot six millions of dollars of the new cold coins. The whole Of the Neapolitan and French indemnifcation money has been ordered home in gold.
