cabinet at Washington, are almost without dis
tinctive principle or characteristic measure. They
seem to cling to the skirts of General Taylor's
popularity, like litter Of drowning kittens thrown
into the river, who have by accident attached them
selves to piece of wood which some urchia in sport
has cast in after them. The barnbamers" are
mere facnon-a very small taction-nambering
only few hundreds in this city, who have been
intriguing with the wings, and bartering their sup
port for Offices to some of their leaders They too
are left without any great national principles. Their
corner stone is merely the annunciation of pria-
cple, which, if carried out to ITS legitimate extent,
would destroy and annul this glorious Union.
So, the prospect is that the associated hosts OF
Tammany Hall, with great, generous, enthssias-
tic rally at the old headquarters, may be able, from
all the disconnected materials around them, to
snatch the prizes ofthe next election from the fee
bier hands Of all their compettors and carry every
thing before them by general coup de main in
this city. We will not say that such will positively
be the result, until matters sufficiently develope
themselves hereafter. But at this moment the
prospects of old Tammany Hall are very fair.

BEAUTY OF A MnTHER's IovE.-OssIAN E. DODGE
has just returned from very successful tour at the
West. An incident occurred at one OF his concerts
in Cleveland. which is deeply interesting. We copy
from the True Democrat
In Dec. 1921, Mr.. Blake with his wife and infant
daughter were travelling over The Green Mountains,
in Vermont, in sleigh. snow storm came sud-
denly upon them;-und so wild and thick did the snow
fall that soun the borses refused to stir. MIR. B.

Soon the cold numbed him, and be fell, unable Ia
move.
His wife, as is supposed. alarmed at his absence
quilted the sleigh, and determined to seek him
When within forty rods of him, she was overcome
Knowing her fate, she stripped herself of the hckes
part of her clothing, and wrapped up her infant daug
ter, and in cold snow-blanket as her winding sheet
died.
In the morning. travellers passing that way, dscov
cred Mr.. b., with his feet aud hands badly frozen
"Are others near!'' the first question. He wa,
unable reply, and pointed with his frozen hands il
the direction of his wife and child. Part of ia,
travellers pushed on. Soon they came TO the body o
his wife, all lfeless and cold; and lifting up the In
FAINT frum Its snowy bed, relOlced to see il smile
Mrs. Seba Smith put these events into stirring
song, and that song Mr. Dodge sang with great effect
But imagine the state of feeling in the room when j
was announced that Mr.. Blake and his daughter wa
present! Not dry eye was seen in the room.
We suhJoin Mrs. Smiths song:
The cold wind swept the mountains height,
And pathess was the dreary wild,
While mid the cherries hours OF night,
A mother wandered with her child,
As through the drifting they pressed
The babe was sleeping on her breast.
And colder still the winds did blow,
And darker hours OF night on.
While deeper grew the drifts Of snow,
Her limbs were chilled, her strength was gone.
"Oh God" she cried, in accents wild,
"If must perish save my child
She stripped her mantle from her breast,
And barred her bosom to the storm,
While round her child, she wrapped the vest,
And smiled to think that il warm,
With cold kiss, one tear she shed,
And sank upon her snowy bed.
AT dawn a traveller passed by,
And saw beneath her snowy veil,
The frost of death in her eye;
Her cheeks cold, and hard, and pale,
He moved the robe from off the child,
The babe looked up and sweetly smiled.
