THE OLD DAYS.

The dear old days, The glad old days.
The careless days of childhooI's time!
How dearly do love to praise
Their boyish Joys in manhood's rhyme!
How dearly do love TO dream
Ger hills and me adows well known then,
And, tancy-led, down manv stream
Go wandering in the woods againl
The very gnarled roots see.
Where once threw the hidden hook,
And fingered hours beneath ibatiree
10 WOO Its treasures from The brook;
The huge old rock, The little fall,
The old and Iuined, roofess mill,
All. dearly memory loves 10 call
Their forms to linger with me still
Yes, every foot If that old ground
Is teeming with hundred dreams,
And memofy brings no light or sound
Bul like its own old echo seems,
The spring wi all its merry noise
Laughed MOI SO gaily DER It's brink,
As We, two glad and happy boys,
When hot and tired, We stopped 10 drink
And there reclining on The grass
We looked up IN ous b the tall green trees
And Salchrd The HE clouds onward pass,
And listened TO The summer breeze,
Till, OIL in slumber's soft enbrace
Long hours uonlC glide unneeded by,
Til, tn, last sunshines rlsy trace
Wa, tauing in The golden sky.
And well DO / remember too,
When oiherIhough and m pods were ours
How oil We roam the iore,t through
To gather sp' ihg-time's tinid flowers.
And maiien lace>, bright and tair
As poets creams OF Paradise,
Lent sunshine to our clad hears here
Nilhjo Ous smiles anu laughing eyes.
Rut Or! how changed are all these now!
The b. ook, The spring, the trees are yet
Still Oh ing. less th,re-but on mig brow
Log Years have many iurrcw sci!
The maiIcns, then 50 full afglee,
Are grown TO dream Of sadCer things,
Anu ch.l, hood now is lei: to be
An echo Iainl ON memory's strings.
Tn re may be hours of equal bliss,
Mingling a hid life's sterner care,
And liz far dearer come to kiss
From off my brow the shadow there;
But oh, around my boyish days
There hangs SO much OF Joy 10 me
The brightest sunshine seems haze
To those dear hours OF memory!

As matter Of curiosity, we should like to
know whether Lockhart has had any re-
spouse to his law card published in the Re-
publican, in the way oil casesl What grand
humbug on a very small scale was that! II
he has been practising law as an attorney
since he published that card, he has violated
his oath OF Office, inasmuch as no Judge can
by his oath practice law while he has a seat
on the bench. But he had no intention Of
doing so, we are charitable enough TO believe.
He only wished to dupe, those whose votes he
was asking, by trying to make them believe
he was not holding one Office when running
for another. He thought by publishing this
Card, the people would say-"Well. Lockhart
cannot be Jud &c at this time. or how can he
prac'ic law as an attorney" They did not
know the old fox. He knew he could no, do
this, and he knew at the same time he was
Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit ill The
2lst Of next Sepremer, as he afterwards
confessed he WIS, and recriving his pay rs
such. His trying TO deceive The people in
this manner shows two things-that he
thought them very gulIible and ignorant, and
that he knew it was wrong and would eeri-
ousIy injure lin 10 run for one offire while
holding aud receiving the pay Of another.--
We now want to know what faith voters can
put in "A man who will descend to such n
contemplate and dishones' piece of decep-
ton to conceal his real POSITION. If he de
ceives the people in this manner now, he will
deceive them in greater matters.

ROtastoa In office.

'sRotation in Office" was once attempted
to be made one of the rail-, ing cries Of a par
ty. but il was suddenly discovered that the
other party shouted it just as loud as the
first. So il has now become one Of the fixed
principles oi both the great parties. 1t was
founded on the fact. that each party had its
deserving men, who were capable Of filling
the most important Offices in the gift of peo
pie, that each had competent men who labored
zeaIousIy for their party's prosperity. and
deserved Office for Their good works and per-
sonal merit-therefore it was thought right
that one man, whatever his ability or services
should not continue long N 'fiice, when he
could only do so by keeping men on, equaIlyd
serving Of Office in every way. With this
principle 90 well established by both parties,
Judge Lockhart 10 trying to make an excep-
ton of himself and most inslorlous excep
will it be, if he is elected. For nearly ten
years he has been steadily in offi.'e-ro a
ting from one Office to anoiher-and now he
wants to rotate into Congress- then if elect
ed he would want to rotate IA second term
by which time he might be prepare to
run race for tile Senate.
He is pretty illustration of "rotaiion in
Office" and those are pretty advocates OF the
principle, who support, him. 1t would seem
no other man in the district were capable oil
holding Office but Lockhart-ihe more so, be-
cause he 10 by no means the most popular
man IN his own party. Now, we do not br.
Iievs that he is quite SO competent us Albert
son, or Graham, or Robertson, or Miller. who
were his opposing candidates before the con-
vention, while they had at least high claims
as he fr party services. and had not been fill
ing prominent Offices Tor half score Of year,
in succession. Blu he has thrust them aside
to make room Tor himself, and they and III cir
friends are rightlully indignant at his deser.
ton OF the principle. Not one Of them has sup
ported Lockhart this canvass, nor Go we be-
lieve one of them will vote for him. As We
believe in rotation in olIi,e, We in this cast
most decidedly believe in rotation ont OF Of.
fice-and we hope the Judge will be permit.

THE SKELETON OF THE WRECK.

wreck OF "a merchant ship drove past. Her
deck was just above the wafer, her lower

gale was blowing at the time; but Sir
Michael. listening only to the dictates Of
humanity. ordered the ship 10 be pul

iinns To board the wreck, to ascertain
whether there was any one still surviving
whom the help Of fellow man might sa, e
