Moses DAWSON, the Editor Of the leading Van
Buren, paper in Cincinnati, some five years ago,
wrote a biography Of Gen HARRlsoS. He is now
opposed 10 his election 10 the Presidency, and sup
ports the cause of the present incumbent. He has
begun, in his paper, series of letters to the old
General on the policy Of the Wing party. In the
first of these he the following language, which
forms rare and honorable exception to that en-
ployed by most of the opponents of Gen. Harrson'

A FATHERS WELCOME TO HIS WIDOW
ED DAUGHTER.
Come to thy home, thy chidhooi's home.
My pilgrim, lone and broken hearted!
Here let thy footsteps cease to roam,
Grief hath been on thee since we parted.
Bring in, bring in thy lght-haifed boys,
Bring in thy youngest blue-eyed blossom;
Hark It's thy mothers gentle voice,
Calling the tremblers to her bosom.
Now rest thee, love, check now the tears
Down thy pale cheek each other chasing:
For we'll know that brig liter days
Thy busy thoughts are fast retracing.
Gems spa,kled once on thy fair brow,
Thy sunny locks with care we're braided,
Thou vert happy bride, but now
Thy matron brow is thnly shaded.
Thou thinkest that manly form
That stood that morn in love beside thee,
The voice that vowed through every storm
OF future life to shield and guide thee.
That voice is bushed, that form is cold,
IT'S this prolougs thy bitter weeping.
To think THAT oNE Of beauteous mould,
In the dark grave is silent sleeping.
Yet cheer thee love, look on thy boys,
Blight not their bloom with early sorrow,
Oh let them hear their mothers voice,
Greet them with words OF hope tomorrow
Tell them that Re who kindly hears
The ravens from their rocky dwelling,
Will guide and guard THEIR orphan years,
And soothe THY HEART with anguish swelling
Then cheer thee in thy childhood's home,
My pilgrim, lone and broken hearted!
Here let thy footsteps cease to roam.
Grief hath been on thee since we parted

Music OF WINTER.-I love to listen to the
falling oil the snow. You may temperyour heart
to the serenest mood by its low murmur 1t is
that KIND oil music that only intrudes upon your
ear when your thoughts come languidly. You
need not hear 1t if your mind is not idle tire
aLses my dream OF another world, where music
is ntuitive like thought and comes only when
it is remembered.
And the frost, too has a melodious minstrelsy.
You will hear It's crystals shoot in the dead of
clear night as if the moonbeans were splln-
teriDg like arrows on the earth and you listen
to it the more earnestly, that it is the going Oh
| of one of the most cunning and beautiful Ma
ture's deep mysteries. | know nothing so won
deriul as the shooting of crystal. God has hid
den its principles, as yet from the inquisitive
eye of the philosopher and we must be content
to gaze on its exquisite beauty, and listen ii
mute wonder to the noise of its visable work.
manshp 1t is too fine knowledge for us.
We shall comprehend it when we know how the
morning stars sang together.
| You would hardly look for music in the drea-
riness of early winter. But before the keener
frost sets in and while the warm winds are yet
stealing back occasionally like regrets ofthe de-
parted summer, there will come soft rain or d
heavy mist, and, when the north wind returns,
there will be crops suspended like earring Jew
els between the filaments Of the cedar tassels,
and in the ieathery edges OF the dark green
hemlocks, and, if the clearing up is not followed
by heavy ndthey will be frozen in their pla-
ces like well set gems. The next morning the
warm sun comes and by the middle Of the calm
dazzling forenoon, they are loosened from the
close touch which sustained them, and will
drop at the slightest notion If you 90 along
on the south side of the wood at that hour you
/, will hear music. The dry foliage of the sum-
mer's shedding, is scatterd over the ground,
and the round hard drops ring out clearly aud
! distinctly as they are shaken down with the
q stirring of the breeze. 1t is something like the
running of deep and rapid water, only more fit
full and merrier; but to him who goes out in ma
: ture with his heart open it is pleasant music,

; Winter has many other sounds that give plea

they are too rare and accidental to be described

prolonged echo, and the woodlands axe rings

CITY OF BOSTON.

The following beautiful and eloquent notice
of the ancient capital of Massachusetts is ex
tracted from the inaugural address Of Jonathan
Chapman, Esq, Mayor of Boston, delivered on
the organization Of the Municipal government,
Jan. 6, 1870:
" First among the foremost in achieving that
freedom without which there can beno real pro-
gress, she has never been found wanting i'll any
enterprise that could secure or adon it. The
simple but eternal truths, written, as it were
upon her everlasting hills, III the blood of her
stern, but pious ancestors ;-that industry is
better than fertile soil-an intelligent pOpu-
lation than the sofest climate-relgion and viz
tue than mines of gold-have not yet been for
gotten. Guided by these truths as by the lights
of heaven, and blessed by the smiles of be-
nignant Providence, she has steadily and
heathily advanced in size, numbers, and
wealth. The skill of her mechanics, the enter
prize of her merchants, and the high and hon
orable character of her citizens generally have
given her no mean station among The cities Of
the world Every interest essential TO her well
being as a community has been literally assum-
ed and generously provided for at the public
charge. Churches and school houses are her
most numerous and cherished monuments. Neat
ness. quiemess, and general good order have
marked her character, and III all the points that
are worthy OF true ambition, she has establih-
ed and maintains, both at home and abroad, a res
putaton which is no honorable passport for her
children through the civilized world"
COOKING PoTAToEs.-Wheny you boil potatoes
for dinner pare enough for dinner and breakfast;
throw little salt into the water in which they
are boiled and when done, pour out the water
carefully, and let the potatoes stand by the fire
few minutes You will find them much bet
ter than when boiled in the common way with
out pairing. Take what are left at dinner, and
mash them while warA. adding a little cream
aad salt; then put them in bake pan, and IN
the morning you have only to set the pan IN the
stove, or before brisk fire for few minutes
You will find them excellent. Some people
use butter instead of cream, but the genuine ar
ticle is prepared by the latter. Ask the Gra-

And over lies quick k-withcred flowers

Their dearest visions fade,

Fer ever INTO shade

In every bleeding string
Thai grief has snappcl or WON apart,
